A Death in the Family

After a brief yet profound illness, a family member has passed on to eternity. What with things picking up at work and dealing with the family crisis, I haven’t had either the time or the enthusiasm to fulfill my important role as a committed new media journalism professional and truth teller. For that I apologize for letting our readers down. But beyond the confines of this important and influential blog and critical political resource for good Christian Americans, life does indeed go on. Or not, as it were.

Last month, my close family member, who I’ll refer to as Mr. S, had a stroke or a seizure or something. Since he was a bit of a slacker, he didn’t have health insurance, and, frankly, after losing the ability to see, hear (or comprehend words and sounds) and being unable to speak (or even think clearly), he wouldn’t have known how to get to a doctor anyway or be able to pay for it even if he could. That’s the price one pays for ignoring the personal responsibility inherent in modern life. You either work for an employer who provides health insurance or buy your own. You don’t slack and roll the dice hoping not to get stricken down by a catastrophic illness without exposing yourself to the risk of being without health care when you need it. Mr. S was unprepared, and it was his own fault. So it goes.

S didn’t seem to comprehend where he was, who he was or anything that a normal healthy person would be expected to know by default. The stroke killed off his higher self and left him more animal (or vegetable) than human. The part of him that could possibly have made him a great conservative political thinker was gone, that potential was gone, and he was reduced to the braindead level and personal hygiene of your average liberal hippie emptyheaded “no blood for oil” drooling twitching moonbat loser. And that was a tragedy. The ultimate end was inevitable, and last night at 11:12 pm local time, he took his last breath, still unsure of who he was, where he was, and why he was. The end had come. Time to pay the piper.

What finally happens to his eternal soul is up to G-d now, and Mr. S did himself no favors. As far as I know he never accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, so he is lost. While he never wronged anyone and was a nice enough fellow, although a bit on the apathetic and uninformed side, that’s not enough for G-d. Being amicable is not enough. Doing good deeds and living a saintly life is not enough.

The sum of a life does not matter whether the balance sheet trends towards good or evil. If one does not humble himself before G-d and accept Jesus Christ into their soul, that soul is damned everlastingly to the lake of fire. I hope that Mr. S took that required leap of faith, but I doubt it. And that’s too bad, but, as with health insurance, he should have known better. There’s also soul insurance. Where’s your policy?

G-d tried to warn freethinker Mr. S, but did he listen? When you boil it all down to the essentials, life is about one thing: being a good conservative Christian and a loyal Republican. Beyond that it’s all window dressing and trivia. Any less than that is an epic fail. Game over. You lose.

Being stuck with the no longer animated corpse of Mr. S, now a shell of his former self, destitute and devoid of life, I did what any good self-reliant pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps can-do American would. I took matters into my own hands. Both of them. I took the initiative. I took personal responsibility where Mr. S could not and would not evermore. Now, some people would feel shamed into parting with their hard earned after-tax income and delegate the responsibility of ridding oneself of such mortal remains. But not me. As a rugged individualist I handled it myself, as we all should when faced with a monumental duty such as this. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, but an exquisite and grotesque corpse persists in the meantime. What to do until then?

There have been scandals in the past about cemeteries that stack, misplace or otherwise mishandle the bodies of the departed. I didn’t want that for Mr. S. And the sinful act of cremation was absolutely out of the question. It’s a detestable practice engaged in by Atheists and Wiccans who, most of all, despise G-d’s handiwork. The body is a temple, created by G-d Himself. Do we burn down G-d’s temples? Of course not. Not unless we’re leftist Christianity haters and secular humanist scum. Besides, how do I know that handful of ashes those charlatans give you in a metal vase or burlap baggie are what’s left of Mr. S? I don’t, and it probably isn’t. Not acceptable.

So I did the right thing under the circumstances. I located a nice enough (and private enough) spot, not far away from my home, borrowed a shovel, rolled up my sleeves, and commenced digging. Wow, do gravediggers have it tough! It’s tough work, if you can get it. After the first few inches of topsoil the ground gets awfully hard. But I persisted, and not surprisingly, I found no “fossils” or dinosaur bones or “proof” of evilution or the lie of the millions of years old earth. Just more and harder dirt in Mr. S’s grave as G-d Himself had created some 6,000 years ago. After the hard work was done, I wrapped Mr. S in an appropriate shroud and placed him respectfully into his tomb, said a prayer for his lost soul, and then covered him up.

Goodbye, Mr. S. You will be missed. But all of us must die eventually, as you yourself discovered.

For our readers, this simple question: is your soul prepared for the end that you will ultimately face? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? Do you love G-d and appreciate the wonderful gift of life He has chosen to bestow upon your worthless self? Is the Lord building you a mansion in Heaven for your soul to dwell in during the eternal afterlife that follows our brief time here among the sinful here on Earth? If not, you better get right with G-d before it’s too late. Or you will be kicking yourself for eternity.

Also, this might be a good time to get behind health savings accounts. Socialized medicine isn’t the answer. The answer lies in taking responsibility for your own health as well as for your own soul. It’s part of G-d’s plan. Go against it at your peril.

So, Huckabee’s Out. Now What?

In a sad moment for American political history, Mike Huckabee has bowed out.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee bowed to “the inevitable” and dropped out of the Republican presidential race Tuesday night after an improbable run for a politician little known beyond his home state a year ago.

Huckabee announced he was giving up his bid for the White House after John McCain swept Tuesday’s contests in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island, giving the Arizona senator the delegates needed to claim the party’s nomination in September.

“It’s been a heckuva run,” he said.

Huckabee urged his supporters to back McCain in November and said he has no “Plan B” for his political career.

The last true Republican has left the race. The GOP nominee will now be a RINO who opposes free speech and embraces bigoted Catholic-bashers. The RINOs have won the Party, and I strongly urge all Christians to leave the building.

In a way, this is a positive development. Huckabee was the last obstacle to the Brownback write-in campaign. My faith is too strong to allow me to believe that God hates America this much. As far as I can tell, He wants to test our resolve and our piety. We have a clear choice this November: vote for a Satanist Communist Islamist (be it Billary or Hussein Osama), vote for a Socialist RINO with Know-Nothing 19th-century Nativist leanings (McCain), or write-in a candidate. That candidate will be Brownback, and his victory will shake this hypocritical Babylon to its foundations. God has not yet forsaken His faithful. That is a promise, America. That is a promise.

Go, and pray for what comes. We face a challenging time of darkness before the light shall again shine down upon us.

Vote for America! Vote for Brownback!

Passing of a Lion of Patriotism

RIP, William F. Buckley.

William F. Buckley Jr., the erudite Ivy Leaguer and conservative herald who showered huge and scornful words on liberalism as he observed, abetted and cheered on the right’s post-World War II rise from the fringes to the White House, died Wednesday. He was 82.

If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. I’m too upset to write very much about it.

A Liberal Twofer

I’m afraid, dear friends, that our society is sliding down the slippery slope of liberalism, ever closer to the pit of total depravity.  I present two news stories that demonstrate that American society is being torn apart by leftist ideology piece by bloody piece.

First up, the acceptance and promotion of the homosexual agenda in our schools.  A second grade boy is being allowed to play dress up, wearing a dress and being referred to by his new girly name.  I suspect any normal child questioning this behavior will be charged with a hate crime and will be whisked off to a “tolerance” re-education camp.  Jesus wept.

The issue of being transgender usually pops up with students in high school. However, a 2nd grade boy wants to dress as a girl and be addressed with a girl’s name.

“As a public school system, our calling is to educate all kids no matter where they come from, what their background is, beliefs, values, it doesn’t matter,” said Whei Wong, Douglas County Schools spokesperson.

I’ll resist the temptation to poke fun at the ridiculous name and get to the point.  Beliefs are one thing, perverted actions are another.  Johnny can believe whatever he likes, but if he is allowed to dress up as Jane, confusing and frightening the other young and impressionable students, he has crossed the line.  This normalizing of perversion is quite dangerous indeed.

“I see this as being a very difficult situation to explain to my daughter to explain why someone would not want to be the gender they were born with,” said Dave M.

His daughter will be in the same class as the student.

It would be wise to yank her out of that school rather than risk your daughter deciding to be a boy or a lesbian.  The homo lifestyle is a choice, so why confront her with it?  Why put up with this nonsense?

Next up, an activist liberal Supreme Court in Nebraska has outlawed the use of the electric chair.  Rather than punish vile criminals, we are now supposed to coddle them and worry about their feelings.  What about the real victims?  What about their feelings?

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday that electrocution is cruel and unusual punishment, outlawing the electric chair in the only state that still used it as its sole means of execution.

And who did the court rule in favor of?  Pond scum.

The high court made the ruling in the case of Raymond Mata Jr., convicted for the 1999 kidnapping and killing of 3-year-old Adam Gomez of Scottsbluff.

If this guy doesn’t deserve a ride in old sparky, I can’t imagine who would.  Hanging would be too good for him.  A firing squad, too noble.  Lethal injection, too kind.  The electric chair was made for just this kind of degenerate.  I say use it.  But the court cries “no” for no good reason.

In its 6-1 ruling, the high court said the evidence shows that electrocution inflicts “intense pain and agonizing suffering” and that “(electrocution) has proven itself to be a dinosaur more befitting the laboratory of Baron Frankenstein than the death chamber” of state prisons.

Oh, boo hoo.  Cry me a river.  The court apparently cares more about guilty criminals than the innocent victims of their heinous crimes.  Besides, Dr. Frankenstein’s lab looked more like a lethal injection chamber.  What a stupid argument.  And even lethal injection is being challenged as being too mean to the poor victimized criminals.

Bleeding heart liberals need to be rooted out of our schools and kicked off the courts of this great land.  Otherwise the transformation to a socialist paradise and hell on earth will be complete.  Pray for America, folks.  Before the liberals ban that too.

Coulter: America Deserves to be Run By Moonbats

Ann Coulter has a point, here. If the Democrats win, the American people will flock to the Party of God. As it is, 8 years of moral, sensible government have made the American people complacent, and ripe for the lies and distortions of a deviant candidate like Hitlery.

As usual, Coulter’s one of the smarter analysts out there. (I do wish she’d strap her chest down, but otherwise I also find her a very moral, and very alluring, woman.) Where I tend to disagree with her is her failure to endorse Brownback. I’m not sure America can stand 4 years of Hitlery, even if it’s followed by another 2 decades of Republican dominance. We’re still languishing under a recession caused by Bill Clinton; do we really want a Hitlery recession added onto that? We’ll be in the Great Depression in no time if we keep letting Democrats rule us.

I agree with Coulter about one thing, though: maybe America deserves to be run by Democrats. If we can’t elect God’s candidate, then Hell’s choice is our substitution.

Open Political Thread

If Huckabee fails to achieve the nomination, is it because God hates America and wants to punish us, or is it merely that He wants our write-in campaign for President Brownback to continue as planned? Discuss.

I, for one, am ardently praying it’s the latter. It chills my bones to think it’s the former. If Hillary Clinton wins the Presidency, decent Americans may find themselves forced to emigrate to Iraq. It’s the most free country besides us that I can think of, right now. And God help us all if that sinister harlot gains the powers of Fascist tranny.

Special Announcement

I had a mind-shattering epiphany last night, a nightmare vision that I have to share with you all. I find that I can no longer, in good conscience, support Senator Brownback directly in his campaign for the Presidency. Instead, I feel compelled to endorse Michael Huckabee, the candidate who will “tack” Brownback into office.

Last night, I was praying in the closet (as usual). I prayed to the Lord for a Brownback victory, and that President Brownback be given the power to smite the enemies of God. Suddenly, it seemed to me that a yawning abyss opened before me. Within, I saw a nightmare city I can’t describe, and don’t want to.

Unutterable dark emanations of unspeakable horrors that cannot be named, cannot be grasped by the rational minds of Children of God loomed before me. These witch-lights showed a scene of utmost depravity, of inconceivable blasphemy. Women and children cavorted with dogs, goats, donkeys, and men of all tribes, religions, and deviancies. Drug dealers ran open-air forums, even injecting passing policemen with their sinful wares with complete impunity. Churches were draped in gasoline-soaked American flags, then set afire. Terrorists roamed the streets in jeeps, shooting anyone who wore a crucifix or made the Sign of the Cross. The Democrat Party had a special torture center for Americans who dared to vote their conscience, which they let Al Qaeda run for them.

It was horrible. As I stared down into this unimaginable den of iniquity and abomination, I felt my mind beginning to cross over the threshold into madness. Then an angel came to save me. A sudden fluttering of light, the abundance of feathers, and lovely morningsongs from Heaven pulled me back from the brink. I looked up, and found myself staring into the face of the harbinger of Ultimate Beauty.

“Sisyphus, I am a messenger from God,” he said. “This horrifying thing you see before you is the city of San Francisco, in the year 2011, should the Democrats win the election. What is worse, the leftards will use the thought-control technology they’ve been quietly perfecting for the last 50 years to beam this filth from the sin-centers of San Francisco and Manhattan directly into the minds of young people from Iowa, Kansas, and the other wholesome parts of the country. God has sent me to tell you that this cannot be allowed to happen. He has offered the crown to Senator Brownback, but like Saul before him, Brownback has proven unworthy of it. Therefore, as He did with David, God has anointed Huckabee to be His chosen king on Earth. You, His faithful servant, must obey His edicts.”

Then the angel disappeared, the Hellish vista vanished, and I found myself screaming and crying in my closet.

I feel I cannot, in good conscience, show a stiff neck to Heaven. I must alter my endorsement, switching it to Governor Huckabee. My hope is that this move will cause Brownback to relent, to reenter the race and allow God to grant him victory. God may yet be clement. God is merciful, and we must all pray that Brownback will cease to anger Him. I also harbor a secret hope that President Huckabee will appoint Brownback his Vice President in a move to allay Catholics, then find himself forced to step down while in office. God may yet secure the Presidency for Brownback in such a fashion.

Those are my secret hopes. But one cannot go against the Will of God. Therefore, I am changing my endorsement to Michael Huckabee. A good man, who will make a great President. And if Brownback can’t take over, maybe God can at least see to it that Huckabee converts to Catholicism himself before 2016. One can always pray for the best for one’s friends and allies.

Daily Kos Top Ten

Right Wing News has their annual top ten list of worst quotes to appear on the front page of Daily Kos, an often frothing, raging, unhinged website of unrestrained and unrepentant moonbattery. And believe me, the amount of scum and villainy in these quotes will leave you wondering if there’s any hope at all for the liberal wing of the Democrat party. The answer, obviously and regrettably, is no.

I’ll just pick one at random, from a Cenk Uygur, an enraged young Turk who obviously disrespects and hates Jesus Christ.

So, is the argument that Jesus didn’t have a [male private part]*?”

And that’s not in the comments, but on the front page. (There’s a fair share of vile commentary in our very own comment threads, coming entirely from angry liberals and pretend independents, so judging comment threads wouldn’t be fair.) There’s enough vomit inducing hatred and drooling insanity in this year’s vile top ten that you will most certainly need to take a hot, soapy shower after you’re done reading. And vomiting.

Liberalism is clearly a mental disorder.

Farewell, Senator Lott

This is indeed sad news. Senator Lott will be retiring soon, perhaps by the end of this year. He will be missed. Serving as a stout Republican in the positions of whip in both houses of Congress, as well as both Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader, he has long been a powerful and influential conservative. Like Sisyphus, he came from a Democrat family and became a Republican when he came to realize what the Democrat party is really about. And like Sisyphus, he has always been a powerful speaker.

Trent Lott is apparently leaving the Senate to pursue “something else.” Whatever that is, I’m sure he will be very good at it. Farewell, Senator Lott.

NOTE: In the photo, Senator Lott is explaining how much longer he will remain in the Senate, so our liberal commenters can skip the cheap jokes.

Update: Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert resigning too? This is indeed a sad day.

Update 2: Obvious parody blog, Big Head DC, claims that Trent Lott was seeing a homo escort.  It’s amazing what people will do for attention these days.  Trent Lott is as straight as they come.

Scott McClellan: Trying To Sell a Book

In a craven attempt to rake in a pile of cash, former Press Secretary Scott McClellan has betrayed his President and his Administration. And in doing so, he has betrayed America. Question: was Scott lying then or is he lying now? I can’t be sure, but it seems what he’s leaking now to the press will potentially make him a lot of money from BDS afflicted moonbats who reflexively grasp at any straw in a futile effort to embarrass our great President. Next he’ll be posting on Daily Kos. Just watch.

Get a load of this rubbish:

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan names names in a caustic passage from a forthcoming memoir that accuses President Bush, Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney of being “involved” in his giving the press false information about the CIA leak case.

Simple Scotty draws out the long knives and cheerfully stabs his former friends and superiors right in the back, without hesitation.

“I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the seniormost aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby,” McClellan wrote.

“There was one problem. It was not true.”

And it’s all about money. Not truth, not honor, not principle, not loyalty. Just the visions of dollar signs that dance in his head. Shameful. Simply shameful.

McClellan then absolves himself and makes an inflammatory — and potentially lucrative for his publisher — charge.

That’s what it’s all about, covering his behind and himself in greenbacks. But who really cares about this nonsense anyway? It’s already obvious to anyone with half a brain that there was no underlying crime. So what’s the big deal? And Lewis Libby is nothing short of a hero. That’s a fact. Scott McClellan is a shamelessly disloyal sellout who’s trying desperately to sell a book that nobody wants to read.

It’s pathetic and sad. Scotty, how could you sink so low? And which Democrat are you going to endorse? The moonbat media will make a big deal out of this no doubt, sensing blood in the water, but it will be reportage full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Moonbat McClellan, your five minutes in the sun are long past. Do us all a favor and go spend some time with your family. And don’t forget to turn in your White House press pass.

The saddest part of this whole non-story is that President Bush’s steadfast loyalty to his friend from Austin was repaid with a hard slap in the face.  What an awful thing to do to such a generous and trusting man.  It makes me sick.

Dumbing It Down

The quality of the writing skills of our commenters, especially the liberal and perverted critics who come here to rant, utilizing incomprehensible spelling and atrocious grammar, is dragging our blog down. At right is what we consider to be the median (average Joe) in the vast pool (or toilet bowl) of our dissenting commenters.

To put it kindly, they’re dribbling morons. Just read a few of their incomprehensible and horribly misspelled rants and try to find the coherent thought. It’s harder than solving a trick puzzle in an advanced copy of Where’s Waldo in which the striped-shirted, hat-wearing fellow is completely absent. One simply cannot find it.

When I read some of the comments from those who rail against us, I just shake my head. Do these people stand upright? Do they have opposable thumbs? Do their brains somehow detach and wander off on their own? Are their remaining brains stored in jars? I don’t know how Sam (our moderator) can deal with you folk. Honestly. You guys belong in a zoo. Do you sleep on straw and roll around in your own filth? Do you stand on four legs or two? Seriously.

We would appreciate very much if commenters would at least familiarize themselves with basic middle school (junior high) vocabulary and grammatical skills. It’s not asking that much, is it? If you were born in a barn, have no teeth, never read an entire book (esp The King James Bible), can’t think of anything to write but leftist talking points, please don’t bother.

A Word About the RINO Rumors

Right now, RINOs, Helioleftists, and various other atheist moonbat treefrog America-haters are spreading rumors that Brownback is withdrawing from the GOP race today. I have one thing to say to these people- So what?

The GOP in its current form has become infected with people like Giuliani, who’d rather talk to his latest harlot on the telephone than talk to a roomful of veterans; McCain, whose only contribution to this campaign has been sucking airtime away from valid candidates; Romney, who wears magical underpants and worships a phony deity masqueraded as Our Lord; and Huckabee, who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. Brownback is better off as a write-in candidate, if it comes to that, than he is competing for the nomination with this assortment of closeted Democrats and flagrant heathens.

It is saddening, of course, that many patriotic Americans may sin by voting for the GOP nominee over Senator Brownback in a write-in campaign. One may still hold out a glimmer of hope that it doesn’t come down to that. However, one must also abide by the Edicts of God. If God decides to test America’s faith by having Brownback win a write-in campaign rather than as a regular Republican nominee, let us praise the Will of God.

A write-in campaign victory would be unheard-of in the annals of American politics. It would be nothing short of miraculous. 50% of America’s atheists would convert upon receipt of the news, saving their souls; the other 50% would commit suicide or flee to New Zealand, thereby damning themselves and everyone foolish enough to listen to them in future.

Yes, the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that having Brownback drop out of the Republican race for President is the greatest victory God could give the man, and the nation. It will make us all savor the sweetness of his 2008 write-in victory that much more.

We here at Blogs 4 Brownback will, of course, stand behind the Senator, no matter what happens today or in future. If the GOP rejects Brownback, they shall cast themselves into the Lake of Fire right alongside the Democrats. Brownback is for all true Americans, not RINOs or liberals or secularists of any stripe or persuasion.

God bless America. Let us all continue to pray for Brownback’s eventual victory, and let us all work hand in hand to see that the blessed work of God comes to pass.

UPDATE: The Book of Judges, Chapter 7:

^“1THEN JERUBBAAL, that is, Gideon, and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was north of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

²The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me.

³So now proclaim in the ears of the men, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him turn back and depart from Mount Gilead. And 22,000 of the men returned, but 10,000 remained.

⁴And the Lord said to Gideon, The men are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. And he of whom I say to you, This man shall go with you, shall go with you; and he of whom I say to you, This man shall not go with you, shall not go.

⁵So he brought the men down to the water, and the Lord said to Gideon, Everyone who laps up the water with his tongue as a dog laps it, you shall set by himself, likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.

⁶And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men, but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

⁷And the Lord said to Gideon, With the 300 men who lapped I will deliver you, and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others return every man to his home.

⁸So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands, and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his home and retained those 300 men. And the host of Midian was below him in the valley.

⁹That same night the Lord said to Gideon, Arise, go down against their camp, for I have given it into your hand.

¹⁰But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp

¹¹And you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp. Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the camp of the armed men.

¹²And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east lay along the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand on the seashore for multitude.

¹³When Gideon arrived, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of ^[a]barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.

¹⁴And his comrade replied, This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has given Midian and all the host.

¹⁵When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped and returned to the camp of Israel and said, Arise, for the Lord has given into your hand the host of Midian.

¹⁶And he divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets and empty pitchers, with torches inside the pitchers.

¹⁷And he said to them, Look at me, then do likewise. When I come to the edge of their camp, do as I do.

¹⁸When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, For the Lord and for Gideon!

¹⁹So Gideon and the 100 men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when the guards had just been changed, and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

²⁰And the three companies blew the trumpets and shattered the pitchers, holding the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow [leaving no chance to use swords], and they cried, The sword for the Lord and Gideon!

²¹They stood every man in his place round about the camp, and all the [Midianite] army ran–they cried out and fled.

²²When [Gideon’s men] blew the 300 trumpets, the Lord set every [Midianite’s] sword against his comrade and against all the army, and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.

²³And the men of Israel were called together out of Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian.

²⁴And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites and take all the intervening fords as far as Beth-barah and also the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took all the fords as far as Beth-barah and also the Jordan.

²⁵And [the men of Ephraim] took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.”

So shall the victory of Brownback confirm God’s Infinite Love for These United States.

RINOs Rachet Up Pressure on Brownback

Is the Republican Party destined to become a RINO-only club? It will be if GOP insiders have their way. There is pressure behind the scenes to force Sam Brownback out of the race. If he were forced out, the GOP is all but finished. Here’s the story being floated in the MSM, with the theoretical headline Brownback to withdraw from GOP race.

Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, the Kansas conservative who struggled to raise money and gain recognition in the 2008 presidential campaign, will drop out on Friday, people close to him said Thursday.

“People close to him,” eh? Just close enough to stick a knife in his back.

Money was a main reason for his decision, said one person close to Brownback who requested anonymity because the candidate had not yet announced his plans. Brownback is expected announce his withdrawal in Topeka, Kan.

How cowardly of this anonymous source. Rather than reporting the story, the media is making the story. They’re so scared of Senator Brownback that they are anxious to force him out. An unnamed person or persons are deliberately sabotaging Brownback’s campaign. Is this what the press has come to?

It’s widely anticipated Brownback will run for Kansas governor in 2010, when his term — his second — expires. He had promised in his first Senate campaign to serve no more than two terms.

“He also mentioned he is really looking forward to spending more time in Kansas,” the person said.

So what has changed? Is someone blackmailing Senator Brownback, or is this simply a made up story being used to force Sam Brownback out of the race? Time will tell.

Rest assured that B4B will continue covering the race and relevant social issues as the campaign goes on, no matter what “anonymous sources” allege.

If this story turns out to be true, it is a sad day for conservatism and a sad day for America. But don’t believe a word of it until you hear it from the Senator himself. I find it hard to believe that Senator Brownback would abandon us to the RINOs without a very compelling reason. We shall see.

Update: Michelle Malkin gloats. Let go of your hate, Michelle.

Update 2: Malkin sockpuppet Hot Air gloats too.  Surprise, surprise!

Furries: A Twisted Freakshow of Utter Depravity

A Blogs 4 Brownback Special Investigation

Doing research on the Internet about various general interest topics, one is bound to come across the darker side of the web, a seamy underbelly of the sick and the depraved. Thanks to the Internet, hobbies, interests and obsessions which used to be frowned upon are celebrated and encouraged. Any perversion, no matter how far out it is, has its own gathering of like-minded deviants in cyberspace.

Normally society would shame these folk and make them realize what they are doing is wrong. But on the Internet, cliques of perversion are all too easy to find. It’s easy for the most mentally ill among us to find acceptance with those of their own kind. Sad, isn’t it? Rather than getting well, these people dive deeper down into the spiritual abyss, egged on by those with similar dysfunctions.

Last week, I did an investigative report on the dangers of anime, especially of the violent variety. It was quite well received and linked approvingly by websites across the Internet all over the world. For this I am thankful. But we were also linked to by those who sought to justify the darkness inherent in their particular obsession. Those frantically discussing this exposure at other websites included, of all things, furries. More frightening even than rabid animaniacs and narutards are those clustering together in the revolting yiffy subculture of furries.

I think it’s time that we took an unflinching glimpse at what your own children or relatives may be taking part in. Pray that they are not. You may never recover.

Due to the subject matter, this post is intended for mature audiences only. I suggest that younger folk go hang out at Rapture Ready, Kids & Teens, Christian Teens or one of the many other websites that your parents have approved for your Internet time. This topic is for the grownups only. Thanks!

Before you read on, this is your last warning. Some things are best not known. The following will disturb you. I don’t care who you are or how jaded you might be. You have been warned. Any discomfort you might experience as a result of this article is not the fault of B4B.

Alberto Gonzales Resigns?

Who will abandon President Bush next? Is there any truth to the rumor that Secretary Chertoff will replace Gonzales as Attorney General?

Here’s the story:

Alberto Gonzales, the nation’s first Hispanic attorney general, announced his resignation Monday, driven from office after a wrenching standoff with congressional critics over his honesty and competence.

And President Bush’s response:

“After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department, Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position and I accept his decision,” Bush said from Texas, where he is vacationing.

Speculation about his replacement:

Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff was among those mentioned as possible successors, though a senior administration official said the matter had not been raised with Chertoff. Bush leaves Washington next Monday for Australia, and Gonzales’ replacement might not be named by then, the official said.

I’m just glad that Gonzales didn’t use the “spending more time with my family” line.

“It has been one of my greatest privileges to lead the Department of Justice,” Gonzales said, announcing his resignation effective Sept. 17 in a terse statement. He took no questions and gave no reason for stepping down.

Bush said the attorney general’s “good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.” Though some Republicans echoed the president’s veiled slap at Democrats, Gonzales had few defenders left in Washington.

This will not have the effect that the left hopes for. The new Attorney General will be a strong one, unlike the damaged Gonzales. Leftist heads will soon be exploding.
