Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Satanists plan statue to stand alongside Ten Commandments in Oklahoma ~ Pretending that there’s no transcendent Truth, Americans are venturing down some very dark paths.
 
For instance… Who Is Josh Ackley and What Is He Doing with the Girl Scouts? ~ This story might just put you off Thin Mints for good!
 
Liberal Newspeak ~ An excellent article from the always astute Sultan Knish explaining how the Left has managed to develop a pseudo-language that’s muddled the brains of large portions of our population ~

The dictionary of Liberal Newspeak is full of empty and meaningless words. Community, Care, Access, Sharing, Concern, Affordability, Options, Communication, Listening, Engage, Innovating and a thousand others like it are wedged into sentences. Entire pages can be written almost entirely in these words without a single note of meaning intruding on the proceedings.

 
The Mandela Myth ~ Another good one from David Greenfield (aka Sultan Knish) ~ Let’s step back from the hero worship for a little reality check ~

To Western whites, Mandela is an iconic figure, a latter-day Gandhi, but to South Africans of all races his memory is entangled with the corrupt infrastructure of the African National Congress and its leaders.

 
Major hospital blunders including 40 patients given surgery on wrong limb, revealed by official statistics ~ A preview of ObamaCare’s coming attractions? Great Britains’ National Healthcare System; hazardous to the health of many ~

Almost 150 NHS patients have been harmed by incidents that should never happen, according to new figures – including the wrong patient receiving heart surgery, patients given overdoses and a woman who had her fallopian tube removed instead of her appendix.

Careless indifference is an inevitable side effect when Big Nanny runs the healthcare industry.
 
Mysterious China-themed ‘city’ proposed in New York’s Catskills ~

(The) 600-acre “China City of America” 😯 is located far outside New York City in upstate New York’s wetlands and is a meticulously planned project, calling for family housing, a college and student residences, among other structures.

Shouldn’t we be just a little alarmed at the ChiComs’ growing interest in colonizing America?!
 
Nativity scene ordered removed from Shaw Airforce Base (SC) after complaints ~ Appears that our military can no longer tolerate the “Christ” part of Christmas. Credit hateful atheist Mickey Weinstein.
 
Yet, when it comes to the culture war, I guess all is not completely lost eh? ~ ‘Duck Dynasty’ Carols Outselling Britney Spears, Lady Gaga.
