SAINTS BE PRAISED! « The Church of the Earth: "NSP. President George W. Bush, one of our newest acolytes, in cooperation with the new church committee formed by Bishop Nancy Pelosi are working on new ways to combat the warming of our Great God/ess Mother Earth. Since it is a known fact that the cow population in the world produce more methane emissions resulting in more CO2 than all of the cars in the world combined, approximately $1 Billion has been appropriated to research to combat cow flatulence.

Green Technologies, a subsidiary of Soros Industries, received a grant of approximately $33 million for a feasibility study for attachable smog pumps. These smog pumps would be attached to the cows’ rear end, and include their own catalytic converter. Proposed legislation that would go along with this would be annual cow emission inspections.

Vegan Biotech, received a grant for $55 million to gengineer grass–biotechnically altering the genetic structure of grass. Initial tests have been inconclusive, but the Bishop Pelosi has already given the go ahead to raize the entire grazing lands world wide and replace it with “Less-Gas Grass” (patent pending).

Other monies have been allocated to Beano to develop Cow-Beano, complete with legislation requiring random blood tests for bovines and a new agency to head this initiative.

JACK WAS JUST KIDDING...BUT...HERE IT IS!

• In the name of tolerance, one becomes ultimately intolerant.
• Broad mindedness ultimately becomes narrow-minded.
• Non-discrimination becomes in discrimination which ultimately becomes discrimination.

One can only expect, that the results of this widespread and popular religion will yield the same fruit of any "theocracy."

The banners have been unfurled, and as "Onward Liberal Soldiers, marching as to war" swells from rank and file the machine grinds underfoot any opposition. Collateral damage is expected and acceptable, because the cause is self-affirmingly righteous.

AOL News reports just one example:

"This week's story that no one read and everyone should have is about tortilla riots in Mexico. Yes, tortilla riots. In Mexico. Some 75,000 people protesting the rising price of tortillas.

Not to be overly blunt, but who cares, right? It's just a single grocery item in some other country. But the reason the people are up in arms is more important than anyone realizes.

Poor Mexicans rely on tortillas for their diet. And a lot of other poor people in a lot of other places rely on other foodstuffs made from corn.

The problem is ethanol. Ethanol, that fuel additive that reduces pollution and helps us wean our dependency on foreign oil and makes farmers rich and politicians look silly when they stump in Iowa. As the U.S. adds more ethanol to its gasoline, the price of corn is surging dramatically, leading to extreme market volatility."

While its religious groupies, like Sheryl Crowe who don't comprehend that much of the world can't even afford toilet paper, much less luxuriate in 1-3 sheets, engage in orgiastic consumption, old people are going to die from a lack of heating and cooling.

The blood of millions of innocents drips from the the hands of the world's religions and its warmongers, and this religion is no different.

• This coming winter, many poor people will experience cold like never before because of liberal "green" energy policy and its impact on utilities.
• This coming year, many poor people will go hungry as a result of misguided and moronic policies like the one mentioned above.
• This coming decade more people will be pushed lower down the economic scale as a result of skyrocketing energy prices, regulation and taxation.

All for actions based on "all available evidence" pointing to something that doesn't exist.

Western white liberals, you have lost your moral authority to judge the likes of President Bush and his war machine. Your policies will make he and his cronies look like amateurs. You have lost your moral authority to point at the military-industrial complex and its death and destruction. You have lost your moral authority because your hands are covered with the same filth you claim to loathe.

• Western white liberals used to think.
• Western white liberals used to care.

But what was once a faith, is now just another dominating religion.

Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It --4/24/2007-- Media Research Center: "Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It

ABC News polling chief Gary Langer, in a posting buried on ABCNews.com, revealed that a poll taken Sunday discovered that when 'asked the primary cause of gun violence, far more Americans blamed the effects of popular culture (40 percent) or the way parents raise their children (35 percent) than the availability of guns (18 percent).' ABC's World News on Monday devoted nearly two minutes to results of ABC's survey, but didn't get to that finding which shows the public does not share the media assumption that gun availability is to blame for the murders at Virginia Tech.

Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It --4/24/2007-- Media Research Center: "Fineman to Democrats on Guns: 'You Gonna Do Something Now?!'

Newsweek's Howard Fineman's first instinct when he heard about the Virginia Tech shootings was to call up the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill and ask for gun control legislation. On this past weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews Show, the Newsweek political reporter admitted 'the first thing he did' was call the Democrats to demand: 'Okay, you gonna do something now?!' "

Crow has suggested using 'only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required'. "

During the Civil War, it was possible for well-to-do men who were drafted to pay a $300 "commutation fee" and escape the draft. The move sparked much public outrage, creating the impression that the war was a "rich man's war" and probably contributing to the disgraceful draft riots in New York City, which led to the lynching of African Americans.

It seems to me that the purchase of carbon credits is a direct imitation of commutation fee. I don't expect to see SUV-deprived soccer moms lunching the wealthy outside of fixed base operator terminals at haunts of private jet-setters like Teterboro and Santa Monica Airports, but I do expect public revulsion to rise and rise, as sacrifices demanded of ordinary people are evaded by the wealthy. The war on global warming seems very much a "rich man's war.""

The mind of the modern liberal is the mind of a child--someone unwilling or unable to fully analyze and process an issue to its complete conclusion.

As a child my young first love was struck by a drunk driver and killed. For the next 20 years I blamed alcohol for her death. Even at the young age of 12 years old, I was probably smarter than the average left-wing fringe liberal who would have blamed the car for her death.

Yes, Virginia, guns kill innocents - Crime File - NY Daily News By MICHAEL DALY. DAILY NEWS COLUMNIST"

Following this line of logic, lets make some more headlines like Mr. Daly's:

Yes, Virginia, cars kill innocents

Yes, Virginia, alcohol kills innocents

Yes, Virginia, student visa's for South Koreans kill innocents

Yes, Virginia, video games kill innocents

Yes, Virginia, violent movies kill innocents

Yes, Virginia, education kills innocents

Yes, Virginia, abortion doctors kill innocents...wait, that one is correct.

A child focuses on the superficial and rarely ever understands the real problem.

The truth of the matter is: The truth of the matter is: Yes, Virginia, moral relativsm is on the rise in this nation, so expect more self-centricity, more man-centered humanism which will...kill innocents.

BTW, the left accuses President Bush of killing innocents--he doesn't do that! Its the rifles in the hands of the soldiers or the missles or the tanks, or the...

Truly pathetic...

Today's ideologues are so concerned about causes, they have ceased to truly care about the people supposedly represented by them. These people are so "cause" driven they fail to even consider the people they hurt in the process. This demonstrates a degree of "sociopathic" behavior that seems to be epidemic.

The right-wing abortion protester outside of a clinic who engages in hurtful and abusive behavior toward the hurting young client who is trying to enter, is such an example. Another is the warmonger who is unconcerned with "collateral damage."

Consider the left-wing global warming crusader. They will feed into and support hysterical assertions and doomsday scenarios, supported by little evidence, while empowering opportunistic governments and politicians to enact poorly conceived and damaging legislation most directly affecting the poor in their struggle to make a living and provide for their own comfort. Add to this homosexual rights groups who push for sanctions against the Boy Scouts fully understanding that the donations by such organization as the United Way go toward funding the underprivileged (poor)participants.

However...

this mindset has never been more evident than last night, the callousness and uncaring nature of the contemporary ideologue:

Two days ago a man killed 32 people at Virginia Tech. He happened to use a gun to accomplish this. Every news show last night came out in full force with the gun-control advocates to begin advancing the anti-gun agenda. They don't care about the loved ones who lost family or friends, they could care less that people's worlds are upside down. They couldn't wait ten minutes to get themselves in front of the camera to begin pounding away at their message. The only thing they care about is their cause, no matter who they hurt.

Dare I say, that many even seemed gleeful for the opportunity the Virginia Tech massacre afforded them.

Collateral damage--nothing more.

What a sick and repugnant nation we have become.

Wellesley Class Sees ‘One of Us’ Bearing Standard - New York Times: "For her Wellesley classmates, Hillary Clinton’s quest to become the first female president is a generational mirror. Some like what they see; others are less certain. They were there for her fiery commencement speech, delivered at the height of the Vietnam War, when she described her class’s search for a “more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living” and said that every protest was “unabashedly an attempt to forge an identity in this particular age.” The speech landed Hillary Rodham in the spotlight as a celebrated archetype of a new generation of women. “We were very proud of her: she was a feminist; she was outspoken,” said Jane Moss, a classmate who now teaches French at Colby College. “Hillary was speaking for all of us, for a generation that felt we weren’t being heard.”"

Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."

Johnson said he has put his property on the market, in part blaming the high property taxes for his decision to leave. He also wants to move for another reason.

"I don't want to live somewhere where someone's always complaining about me," he said.

Bush critic Sheehan blasts US Democrats: "Prominent Iraq war opponent Cindy Sheehan urged US President George W. Bush on Friday to 'end this madness' and accused his Democratic foes of having 'betrayed' their anti-war supporters. Sheehan, whose soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq, planned to lead dozens of protesters to a security checkpoint near Bush's Texas ranch and read out names of US dead in Iraq using a bullhorn. 'Our message is: Today is Good Friday, when Jesus Christ was killed by the Roman Empire. He rose again on Sunday, came back to life. But our loved ones won't be coming home' from Iraq, she told reporters. The protesters will tell Bush 'to end this madness for our families,' said Sheehan, who took a tough line against Democrats who harnessed anger at the Iraq war to recapture the US Congress in November. 'They got there and they betrayed the grass roots that put them back there,' she said. 'We can't depend on the Democrats.'"

House #1

A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas.

In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year.

The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400.

In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home.

This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.

House #2

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university.

This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide.

The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on an arid, high prairie in the American southwest.

A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer.

The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system.

Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern.

Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house.

Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

"It has come to my attention, Attorney General Gonzales that, despite high apprehension rates by Border Patrol agents along California's border with Mexico, prosecutions by the US attorney's office Southern District of California appear to lag behind. A concern voiced by Border Patrol agents is that low prosecution rates have a demoralizing effect on the men and women patrolling our nation's borders. It is my understanding that the US attorney's office, Southern District of California, may have some of the most restrictive prosecutorial guidelines nationwide for immigration cases, such that many Border Patrol agents end up not referring their cases. I'm concerned that lax prosecution [by Carol Lam] can endanger the lives of Border Patrol agents. In 2005, the US attorney's office in southern California [Carol Lam] convicted only 387 aliens for alien smuggling and 262 aliens for illegal reentry after deportation. When looking at the rates of conviction from 2003 to 2005, the numbers of convictions fall by nearly half. I'm concerned, Mr. Attorney General, about these low numbers. I would like to know what steps can be taken to ensure that immigration violators are vigorously prosecuted.

Senator Diane Feinstein now:

"An accumulation study done by USA Today places Carol Lam as one of the top three attorneys in the United States for the prosecution of these cases. It is a real surprise to me that you would say here that the reason for her dismissal was immigration cases."
