			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To those who would claim Christ, yet bemoan conservatism, Fox News, and Ann Coulter&#8230; I have a message for you &#8212; repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!   <img src='http://negative99.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   For all the whining and bellyaching that leftist &#8220;Christians&#8221; do about Ann Coulter and Fox News I would love to see them stew in their own juices after Ann&#8217;s latest piece.  No woman is more hated by the left (including so-called Christians who are left) than Ann Coulter&#8230; yet it&#8217;s hard to remember when a prominent female political analyst said something so accurate&#8230; AND POLITICALLY SCRIPTURALLY accurate at that (yes, it is possible I guess)!</p>
<p>It started with Brit Hume&#8217;s initial statement on Fox News about Tiger Woods and his recent sexual troubles:</p>
<blockquote><p>The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don&#8217;t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, &#8216;Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, as Ann says, any public mention of Christianity gets the usual liberal media elites into a crazed frenzy.  Brit was wrongfully attacked&#8230; and Ann&#8217;s article not only points out the sheer idiocy of the many liberal responses to Brit, but does it while presenting the gospel (ah yes, presenting the gospel&#8230; something else Christo-leftists have a hard time doing)!!!</p>
<p>I agree 1,000 times with her.  <a href="http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/printer_friendly.cgi?article=349">Feast your logical Christ-following senses on her piece</a>, partially quoted below:</p>
<blockquote><p>Someone mentioned Christianity on television recently and liberals reacted with their usual howls of rage and blinking incomprehension.</p>
<p>On a Fox News panel discussing Tiger Woods, Brit Hume said, perfectly accurately:</p>
<p>&#8220;The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don&#8217;t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, &#8216;Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hume&#8217;s words, being 100 percent factually correct, sent liberals into a tizzy of sputtering rage, once again illustrating liberals&#8217; copious ignorance of Christianity. (Also illustrating the words of the Bible: &#8220;How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.&#8221; John 8:43.) </p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>On MSNBC, David Shuster invoked the &#8220;separation of church and television&#8221; (a phrase that also doesn&#8217;t appear in the Constitution), bitterly complaining that Hume had brought up Christianity &#8220;out-of-the-blue&#8221; on &#8220;a political talk show.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why on earth would Hume mention religion while discussing a public figure who had fallen from grace and was in need of redemption and forgiveness? Boy, talk about coming out of left field!</p>
<p>What religion &#8212; what topic &#8212; induces this sort of babbling idiocy? (If liberals really want to keep people from hearing about God, they should give Him his own show on MSNBC.)</p>
<p>Most perplexing was columnist Dan Savage&#8217;s indignant accusation that Hume was claiming that Christianity &#8220;offers the best deal &#8212; it gives you the get-out-of-adultery-free card that other religions just can&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, that&#8217;s exactly what Christianity does. It&#8217;s the best deal in the universe. (I know it seems strange that a self-described atheist and &#8220;radical sex advice columnist &#8212;&#8212;&#8221; like Savage would miss the central point of Christianity, but there it is.)</p>
<p>God sent his only son to get the crap beaten out of him, die for our sins and rise from the dead. If you believe that, you&#8217;re in. Your sins are washed away from you &#8212; sins even worse than adultery! &#8212; because of the cross.</p>
<p>&#8220;He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.&#8221; Colossians 2:14.</p>
<p>Surely you remember the cross, liberals &#8212; the symbol banned by ACLU lawsuits from public property throughout the land?</p>
<p>Christianity is simultaneously the easiest religion in the world and the hardest religion in the world. </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://negative99.com/wordpress./../images/96797-004-66B24CFA.jpg" rel="lightbox[649]"><img src="http://negative99.com/wordpress./../images/_96797-004-66B24CFA.jpg" width="250" height="159" alt="The First Thanksgiving" title="The First Thanksgiving" class="floatright" /></a>So it&#8217;s that day of the year again in the US when we celebrate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)">Thanksgiving</a>.  It&#8217;s a bit humorous that with all the blessings upon this great country we mentally squeeze our collective gratitude into a single day.  We&#8217;re probably at a point where we have no idea how much we actually should be thankful for because we have so much wealth that we think is &#8220;automatic&#8221;&#8230; or worse, we think it&#8217;s our &#8220;right&#8221;.  We think we have the right to the best healthcare, the best education, the best of all our epicurean hearts&#8217; desires &#8211; and in our gross stupidity many of us neglect to be thankful for all we have.  Geez, in the US even our homeless suffer from obesity!?  Yes, in the US even the homeless have much to be thankful for.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s world of political correctness (a true mental disease if ever there was one) Thanksgiving seems to be largely rewritten by elitist swine in our education system.  I remember that <a href=" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,139304,00.html">Maryland public school kids were allowed to thank anyone for Thanksgiving &#8212; except God</a>!?  Now I&#8217;m reading that <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&#038;id=6525441">a 40-year Thanksgiving dress-up tradition in a California school district is being scrapped</a> by un-testicled school officials who are cowering to some young Indian mother with a tomahawk up her butt about the whole thing.</p>
<p>For a fresher perspective on Thanksgiving read <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_112608/content/01125111.guest.html">Rush Limbaugh&#8217;s recent chronicling of the early settlers&#8217; experiments with socialism and free enterprise</a>.  Apparently William Bradford learned very quickly what many today will never learn.</p>
<p><a href="http://negative99.com/wordpress./../images/thanksgiving.jpg" rel="lightbox[649]"><img src="http://negative99.com/wordpress./../images/_thanksgiving.jpg" width="250" height="166" alt="Thanksgiving prayer" title="Thanksgiving prayer" class="floatleft" /></a>Despite the consistent stream of idiocy surrounding me in virtually every facet of my existence on this rock there is MUCH I am thankful for.  Much.  I am thankful that there are still some around me who believe in truth.  There are still some who will stand against stupidity and political correctness &#8212; who will rebuke &#8220;offended&#8221; people just like Jesus did.  I am thankful that my life (despite the pool of unintelligence I have to wade through daily) is relative a day in the park&#8230; an amusement park&#8230; a big amusement park with lots of rides and fried junk food.  I&#8217;ve got it good, and I am commanded to share what I have been blessed with to those in need &#8211; and to do it in God&#8217;s name and in an effective manner.  </p>
<p>So, happy cynical Thanksgiving!  <img src='http://negative99.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
