Michael Moore Gets... Nothing

Let's all breath a collective sigh of relief. The farce that pretends to make documentaries has received a complete shun by the Motion Picture Acadamy. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 received zero nominations for the 2004 Oscars.

Not that I really give a flip about the Oscars, but it is nice to see them do something right from time to time.

Pornography not a Victimless Crime

Our society is sex-obsessed and entirely saturated with pornography. The Internet has opened the door for just about anyone (old and YOUNG) to have access to the most disgusting filth the darker side of man has to offer. Yet, as a nation we are too busy litigating because a handful of people died taking Vioxx.

I read a fantastic article today. Pornography is not a Victimless Crime. If you have not connected the dots on the dangers of pornography, a read of this piece should easily persuade you.

Hollywood Wackos

If Hollywood fell into the ocean, would there be fewer brain cells on the face of the earth? Wackos from the west coast continue to make the case for a definitive "no". Take these comments from Cameron Diaz on Thursday's Oprah show.

On Oprah's Wednesday 'voting party' show featuring very important celebrities like P. Diddy (Vote or Die!), Drew Barrymore, Christina Aguilera, svelte suffragette Cameron Diaz took to shock tactics to get the female vote out.

After a discussion on lynching and the vote, Diaz spoke of the dire consequences for women if they sit out this election:

Ms. DIAZ: We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo--if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote, and those are the...

WINFREY: It's your voice.

Ms. DIAZ: It's your voice. It's your voice, that's your right.

Alrighty then. Anyone out there for legalized rape? Apparantly in Ms. Diaz's warped world, a vote for George W. Bush is tantamount to endorsing violent crime against women. Perhaps her movie should have been retitled, "There's Something about Mentally Unstable Blond Actresses"

Oprah, if George W. Bush is re-elected hamsters in Malaysia will starve to death! We can't have that!

Liberal thugs

They love to say that conservatives and Republicans are full of hate. The grand irony is that those who protest the loudest are usually the perpetrators. Take a look at this. Some Kerry-Edwards supporters tore up the Bush-Cheney sign of three-year-old Sophia Parlock while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock. They made her cry with their hate and violence. Sickening.

The Face of Abortion

I hate that we even have to see stories like this one, but it sure brings home the reality of the horror of abortion...

Aborted baby's head left inside woman

A British hospital is now investigating the case of a woman who had an abortion, but then was shocked to find out the head of her unborn baby had been left inside her.

Abortion Rights?

On the heels of Sunday's "Pro-Choice" march in the nation's capitol, I continue to be dumbfounded by the rhetoric of these people. Underneath the surface of "women's rights" lies multitudes of women wounded by their choice to kill their own babies.

Let's face it. This argument is NOT about abortion. It is about whether or not the "fetus" in the womb is a life. If it is not a life, then abortion is nothing more than a simple procedure to remove a growth with no more emotional attachment than the removal of a wart or a tumor. You don't see people protesting the removal of these, do you?

But if it IS a life, the pro-choice argument is moot. No one has the right to take a life. Science and technology are revealing more and more about exactly what takes place inside the womb. Partial birth abortion has been unmasked for its brutality. A leading physician recently testified that babies in the womb feel intense pain as they are being aborted. The age of "viability" outside of the womb is getting earlier and earlier.

AbortionFacts.com is an incredible resource that makes the pro-life case quite clearly. Warning: this site provides information and facts. If you are a pro-choicer, you may not like what you read. It will challenge your beliefs to the core.

How about some ultrasound photos of babies in the womb? Amazing Pregnancy has tons of them. Cool stuff!

Oh sure, there are those that argue for the necessity of legal abortion in the cases of rape or incest. But since these are only a small minority of cases, is this really what the issue is all about? Or is it about an irresponsible generation attempting to continue their irresponsibility by selfishly rationalizing away the act of aborting human life?

For those who insist on sticking to the rape/incest argument, may I refer you to a book which was recently pointed out to me? It is called Startling Beauty: My Journey from Rape to Restoration, by Heather Gemmen. Heather was raped in her own bed, and managed to find restoration in having the baby that resulted from the terrible crime. A beautiful example of how God can heal the most terrible pain and turn it into something wonderful.

At the march in Washington, some pro-life individuals were carrying signs showing pictures of aborted babies. All the pro-choice protesters could do is shout "Lies, lies, lies" at them. But the pictures WEREN'T lies. So who is being decieved?

If wombs had windows, we would not have legal abortion. But since the baby is hidden away, hard hearts refuse to see. Troubled women in crisis situations are lied to, told that it is only "tissue". And the consequences that follow often stick with women for a lifetime.

Thankfully, there is healing and restoration available for women who have had abortion. SafeHaven is a great site that provides a safe place for women to share their stories and find healing in a loving environment.

The abortion argument is not going away until this modern-day holocaust is revealed for what it is. The truth is slowly being revealed. In the not-to-distant future, our posterity will undoubtedly ask us, "What did you do when millions of innocent babies were slaughtered?"

What will you say?

David Limbaugh has written a great piece that logically decontructs the arguments of the pro-abortion crowd.

How is this for "bad taste"?

Just when you think you've seen everything. NBC News in Dallas reports that Urban Outfitters is selling a "Dress up Jesus doll", complete with a variety of clothing that Jesus can wear while hanging on the cross.

Some people are outraged over a sacred symbol that is being sold for laughs.

The novelty item gives buyers the chance to dress up Jesus in different outfits.

"I did a double take. It just seemed unbelievable to see something like that," said Gerry, a man who didn't want to use his last name.

From a distance, the item looks like a kid's dress-up game. But when you look closely, it is a magnetic Jesus dress-up figure.

"I basically stood there speechless," Gerry said.

Gerry stumbled upon the dress-up Jesus at an Urban Outfitters store at the King Of Prussia Mall.

He said he was shocked by the magnetic game showing Jesus on the cross, clad in underwear with interchangeable outfits like a devil costume, a skull T-shirt and a hula skirt.

Gerry said he e-mailed Urban Outfitters to complain that the item was in horrible taste.

In an e-mail response to Gerry, the company said it doesn't sell the dress-up Jesus to provoke or offend people, but rather sells it to reflect a diversity of opinion among its customer base.

God is a big God and He can take the ribbing, though I wouldn't think He is terribly amused. Click for the entire story

Gay Marriages Halted

A bit of sanity in California today...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The California Supreme Court on Thursday ordered an immediate halt to gay marriages in San Francisco, delivering a victory to conservatives who have fought for a month to block the ceremonies. Meanwhile, Massachusetts lawmakers reconvened Thursday to consider a ban on gay marriage. They gave preliminary approval to a proposal that would ban gay marriage but allow civil unions.

I didn't think the California Supreme Court had it in them to actually interpret the law. This is a refreshing change of pace. They have not commented on the legality of the gay marriages that have already taken place and will hear the case in May or June. Read the entire story here.

Words cannot describe

Gotta love Liberals. Nothing like a bunch of foul-mouthed crybabies. Check out these whiny brats at their latest love-fest in New York. Why would anyone align themselves with THESE people?

Here is another candidate for the miserable failure award.

Why doesn't this surprise me?

Perhaps I should be surprised, but seeing that this guy was in the business of harming women and killing babies, I guess the rest is just icing ont he proverbial cake...

Abortion doctor gets 34 years for sex abuse of patients

Brian Finkel, a once prominent Phoenix abortion doctor, was sentenced to more than 34 years in prison Friday for sexually abusing patients over a span of nearly two decades in his high-profile practice.

Finkel was also ordered to register as a sex offender and placed on lifetime probation should he serve out his 34¾ -year prison sentence.

What a great day! What an awesome story! Are you ready for this?

The American people are already beginning to take note that whiny liberals and their ideas are BAD for this country. For DECADES, the liberals have taken over control of the mainstream media via CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, CNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, ad infinitum. Hey guys, you've already TRIED this! It didn't work the first time!

The American people are turning to conservative radio and TV in DROVES because they are sick and tired of being fed the socialist mantras forced on them by the left! Limbaugh, O' Reilly, Hannity, Fox News, Beck, Savage, et al are a huge success for two reasons.

1) They give voice to the thoughts and feelings of the majority.

2) They are entertaining to listen to and/or watch!

Hillary's book is huge for the same reason people were obsessed with the Michael Jackson specials that ran a couple month's back. She gives a voyeuristic look into life in the Clinton White House. It's NOT because people want her to be President.

Al Franken had a best-seller just because he put Limbaugh's name in the title. Guess what, Mr. Franken? Limbaugh ain't fat anymore, but you'll always be an idiot.

This is great. I hope the libs pour millions of dollars into this pathetic waste of time. I would love to see liberalism taken out with the trash heap in this country once and for all. Bring it on!

Evil Walmart

Article in the San Francisco gate this morning by Mark Morford, an obviously confused and spastic liberal. Check out this tirade against Walmart... I'll comment as we go along just to poke fun at his confused banter.

In A Wal-Mart Kind Of Hell: Censored magazines, banned music and pseudo-Christian fun at America's scariest retailer

By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist (and flaming whiny liberal) Wednesday, June 18, 2003

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop. You've found it. This is the place. Americana HQ. Patriotism in a giant tin bucket. This is where souls recoil, children wail, dreams die.

Last time I looked Walmart provided jobs for thousands of people, reviving the economy of many rural areas and offering low-cost alternatives to those who are tired of paying too much. However, Wal-Mart is FAR from perfect.

This is Wal-Mart. The glorious consumer mecca, the epic wonderland/wasteland of prefab landfill merch, not only the world's largest and most powerful retailer and the most aggressive snarling frightening happy-place marketer and quite possibly the most hideously overlit soul-draining monster empire you will ever know in your entire lifetime, but also the very multibillion-dollar pseudo-Christian kingdom that censors their offerings and refuses to sell certain music CDs and bans "risqué" beer-'n'-babes mags like Maxim and FHM and Stuff, because, you know, pretty girls are evil.

Oh, I get it. You put your tongue IN your cheek. Yah, almost didn't catch that. Pretty girls are a good thing. But for those of us who want our children to keep their innocence WHILE they are still children, I see nothing wrong with protecting them from magazines that insist "having better sex" is the way to happiness. That may cut it with the Nambla crowd, but not mainstream America.

And Wal-Mart just recently decided to cover up the covers of other, less garish but apparently equally "naughty" women's mags like Elle and Cosmo.. blah blah blah... (edited for meaningless rant..)

People complain, they claims, customers call in and bitch that their kid might've seen a racy magazine cover and asked one too many questions about just what "orgasm" or maybe "pleasure" or even "happiness" means, and the parent was all flustered and humiliated and confused and hence Wal-Mart, being the good falsely sanctimonious citizen, not wanting to offend the American Family, covers up the mags or removes them entirely. How thoughtful.

Except there's a bit more to it than that. Except the groups that complain about the mags are often the same ones that cheer Wal-Mart's censorship decisions, groups like the Tupelo, Miss.-based American Family Association (AFA), one of those desperately hyper-Christian anti-choice anti-gay anti-porn asexual pseudo-ethical groups representing "traditional" family values -- like, you know, massive reeling intolerance. And hellfire. And the end of icky tongue kissing.

And how you despise traditional values! And that's really the issue here, isn't it? The irony? The comment about "massive reeling intolerance". This guy sounds pretty darned INTOLERANT to me? And isn't that just the liberal way. Preach tolerance for everyone except those who have opinions different from yourself. Sheesh.

Here is why it matters. Here is why you should care. Because Wal-Mart is not merely a store. Wal-Mart is not merely a hollow and deeply frightening Christian-values mega-retailer that makes you feel like you need a karmic shower and soul de-lousing immediately upon exiting the vacuum-sealed whooshing glass doors.

Could you be more clear, please? I think I hear you saying , "I HATE Christians!"

Wal-Mart shapes ideas. They affect mind-sets. They influence cultural perspectives. This is frightening and wrong. They ban (or "sanitize") the latest Marilyn Manson CD? They don't carry Maxim? Then for 100 million benumbed Wal-Mart regulars, Marilyn and Maxim might as well not even exist. Why not choose a nice issue of, say, Guns & Ammo and the new Shania Twain instead? There there, Timmy. Now hush up and let Daddy buy some bullets and a vat of Cheez Doodles.

You're just jealous because you don't have the ability to shape ideas and affect mind-sets. You are a whiny liberal writing for other whiny liberals who sit around in their Starbucks, sipping cappucinos that don't come in small, medium or large, commiserating on how the rest of the world is so screwed up because mainstream America doesn't agree with you. Irrelevant. And besides, Cheez Doodles are tasty.

Do you understand? Do you see the danger? That's 100 million customers per year, $200 billion in annual sales, 3,000 stores and growing fast, and isn't it just wickedly telling that the state with the largest number of Wal-Marts in the entire country is, by a wide, wide margin, Texas? Pretty much says it all, really.

And if the San Fran gate had that kind of exposure and ability to influence, you would be the first to pat yourself on the back and insist they hang on to the power they acquired. Hypocrite!

All well and good. Hey, they're a discount retailer, after all. Horrible landfill merchandise and giant ads for Doritos and tons upon tons of plastic crap you really don't need intermixed with a few things you actually do, and deep deep deep this nation is in a BushCo recession so of course Wal-Mart is flourishing.

Ah, the inevitable Bush-bashing. Whaaaa.. we won the election. Al Gore was elected by the majority. Whaaaa! Get over it. I'm so sorry that the liar-in-Chief is no longer in the White House. Imagine, a man with a shred of decency as our Commander. Perish the thought!

Of course, they also sell guns. Did we mention the guns? Oh yes. How's that for a message -- hey kids, don't look at the impossibly pretty half-naked Photoshopped model on the cover of Elle because your undereducated little mind might get corrupted and you're just not ready for the word "sex" in bold 48-point Helvetica. But here, have a nice Remington .22. Now scamper off and go kill something, sweetie.

More sarcasm to make a point. I get it. And lets not forget the "guns are evil" mantra.

It is a giant suckass superstore, one that aggressively works every single day to drain out any semblance of voice or personality or alternative viewpoint and works harder than any other company in the nation to kowtow to the masses and keep the nation in a nice big hole of casual blind lockstep sameness without the nation even knowing any better. Ah, just like BushCo. Just like America.

There's more, but the guy has clearly been breathing San Fran air for too long. There's some great commentary at FreeRepublic.com.

Roe steps up to the plate

In a move that is sure to get radical feminists fumed, Norma McCorvey is fighting to get her landmark abortion case (Roe v. Wade) reversed.

The former plaintiff known as "Jane Roe" in the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized abortion sought to have the case overturned in a motion filed Tuesday that asks the courts to consider new evidence that abortion hurts women.

Norma McCorvey, who joined the anti-abortion fight nearly 10 years ago and says she regrets her role in Roe v. Wade, said the Supreme Court's decision is no longer valid because scientific and anecdotal evidence that has come to light in the last 30 years has shown the negative effects of abortion.

"We're getting our babies back," a jubilant McCorvey said at a news conference while flanked by about 60 women, some who sobbed and held signs that read "I regret my abortion."

"I feel like the weight of the world has just been lifted off my shoulders," said McCorvey, 55.

Sarah Weddington, the abortion advocate and attorney who originally represented McCorvey, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. A representative from the National Organization for Women also did not immediately return a message.

Allen Parker Jr., McCorvey's attorney, said he could not remember any other landmark case in which the plaintiff has asked to have it overturned.

"I think the new evidence will show the court what they thought was good will turn out to be an instrument of wrong," said Parker, who is with the San Antonio-based Texas Justice Foundation.

McCorvey filed the motion with the federal district court in Dallas, which ruled to legalize abortion in Texas before the Supreme Court ruling. The Texas attorney general's office and Dallas district attorney each have 20 days to respond to the motion.

McCorvey and her attorneys asked the federal court to consider more than 5,400 pages of evidence, including 1,000 affidavits from women who say they regret their abortions.

McCorvey was a 21-year-old carnival barker when, pregnant for the third time, she sought an abortion. She agreed to be the plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Texas' anti-abortion statute.

The Supreme Court decision came after she had the baby. It was the third child she put up for adoption. McCorvey publicly identified herself as Jane Roe in 1980.

I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the history books and future generations will look back on the American holocaust (millions of babies sacrificed on the alter of convenience) and shake their collective heads in disbelief. Glad to see Norma stepping up to undo that which she played a part in facilitating all those years ago.

Glenn Beck

Have you listened to Glenn Beck on the radio? I started listening to him last year when Dr. Laura got bumped because of the pressure from the intolerant tolerance-pushers. Anyway, he is way more entertaining than Dr. Laura. This guy is a former alcoholic. Even worse, he is a former liberal. Fortunately, he has educated himself, seen the light, and is now able to wax eloquent on a variety of social, political and economic issues. On top of that, he can be downright hysterical. Glenn Beck is currently heard on 125 stations.

When he isn't presenting a monologue (some of the most moving Veteran's Day or 9/11 memorials I have ever heard), he takes calls from "sick freaks" or he lampoons our sacred cows. It is truly funny stuff much of the time (except for brain-washed liberals who get their panties in a twist at the mention of George W. Bush). He is also not afraid to publish Hate Mail on his site. He does keep an audio archive of his show, but his "Insider" membership program is a bit pricy at $55/year.

While the liberal media was enamored with the anti-war protests, Glenn was out there staging pro-America rallies (which you probably never heard about). His Rally for America on May 27th in West Virginia attracted THOUSANDS of patriotic Americans in a celebration of freedom and liberty. Of course, NewYorkTimesCNNABSCBSNBCblahblahblah didn't want to report on this event. That's ok, its rewarding enough just knowing that the Right is right. :-)

Only one thing puzzles me about Beck. With his ongoign pursuit of the truth, he has somehow stumbled into Mormonism. Anyone who has researched The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints knows it is a cult loosely based on traditional Christianity, but so far off on most key doctrinal issues as to not be related to Biblical Christianity at all. Anyway, that is not enough of a reason for me to tune his out. He makes me think and laugh, often at the same time.

Today's Nazis aren't Aryan

Wow, incredible article by Mona Charen today. For those of you who are fretting over the lack of weapons of mass destruction yet produced from Iraq, stick a sock in it and read this...

------------------------------

The whole world is focused on what we've failed to find in Iraq -- to the point of neglecting what we have found. In doing so, the press is missing the significance of what the United States and Britain have achieved.

The banned weapons will eventually be accounted for. Of that there can be no doubt. But the more important story is that the coalition overthrew a regime that can fairly be compared with Nazi Germany. Such a deed would be applauded by the world -- if we lived in a better world.

Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

Finally, the House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to pass the bill banning the attrocity known as partial-borth abortion. The vote was 282-139, truly a bi-partisan effort to save the lives of human beings slaughtered in the name of "choice".

Don't know what partial-birth abortion really is? Click here for a diagram that explains the procedure. It will make you sick to your stomach as you wonder how we have let this barbaric practice take place for so long.

The Senate and the House have minor differences in their bills, but once they reconcile them, the President has promised to sign the bill outlawing this form of infanticide. I'm sure this will finally land in the Supreme Court of the U.S. Hopefully they will have the good sense that the majority of Americans share. Abortion is murder.

I wanna go to SlumWorld!

Dad: Hey kids, where should we go for Summer vacation?

Rusty: I want to go to Sea World!

Audrey: I want to go to Disney World!

Mom: I want to go shopping!

Dad: Oh, you nutty bunch. I've got something BETTER planned. Are you ready? We're going to Slum World! It's a brand new theme park being planned for location in sunny Orlando, Florida by the nice people at Habitat for Humanity. Isn't that exciting?

Rusty: Um. Are there rides, Dad?

Dad: Rusty, Rusty, Rusty. Aren't you too old for those amusement park rides? At Slum World, the thrills come from laying tile and brick with your bare hands!

Audrey: Is there a fantasy castle, Daddy?

Dad: No, Audrey. Castles and futuristic themes are passe. Imagine this. You'll get to tour recreations of some of the world's worst slums! From Africa to Asia, and Central America to Harlem, you can have the thrill of a lifetime by seeing firsthand, how people live in filth and debris.

Mom: Dear, I am as much of a supporter of Habitat for Humanity as anyone. They do great work for poor people around the world. But a vacation destination? I am guessing there won't be much there in the way of shopping? Do I need to bring my own shopping cart to pick through trash?

Dad: Now now, Honey. I sense a bit of sarcasm. Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity says this, '''Essentially, it's a theme park for poverty housing. You'll come out of the center and walk right into a slum. You'll see the kind of pitiful living conditions so many people in the world have."

Rusty, Audrey and Mom: Whaaaaaaaaaaa! We wanna go somewhere fun!!!

Dad: C'mon family. It WILL be fun. I promise! After all, we're the Grizwalds!

Mike Tyson - one scary guy

Mike Tyson is in the news again. He has done an interview with Greta Van Susteren (she of the funny mouth) for The Pulse on the Fox Network. She spoke to Tyson in Miami for a TV piece that looks back at the circumstances of Tyson's 1992 trial that ended with him convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison.

The former boxing champion once again denied he raped Desiree Washington (search) in 1991 in an Indianapolis hotel room, but told Van Susteren that he'd like to now.

"I just hate her guts. She put me in that state, where I don't know," Tyson said in an interview for The Pulse, scheduled to air Thursday night. "I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her."

WHAT? This guy is certifiably insane. I will not be watching the program, but for those who are interested, it's on The Pulse at 9 pm EST.
