Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
What Does Two Billion Years of “Extreme Evolutionary Stasis” in Bacteria Say About Evolution? ~ Oddly enough, to a committed Darwinist, lack of evolution doesn’t disprove evolution. New discoveries only serve to weaken Darwin’s theory, yet the science settlers obstinately refuse to consider alternatives.
Let’s Liquidate Community College ~ Pedro Gonzales writing at Western Journalism suggests that this form of higher ed may have outlived its usefulness, especially since Obama wants to give it away for “free” ~
Put another way, 80% of students who go into community college don’t graduate in a reasonable period of time. And community colleges are heavily subsidized by the taxpayer. Why should we subsidize schools where 4 out of 5 students drop out? That’s an incredible waste of money!
Rev. Graham: Secularists Are ‘Anti-Christ’ and ‘They’ve Taken Control of Washington’ ~ Video of Franklin Graham speaking at the Oklahoma State Evangelism Conference on Jan. 26th. Equating secular-humanism with communism, he called on Christians to get more involved in government; men and women of God need to take back America! Amen.
Pope Francis Is Not Saving Souls, But Losing Them ~ Fr. Peter Carota has a news flash for his eminence; leaving sin out the equation isn’t helping anyone ~
The very first Spiritual Work of Mercy is to Admonish the sinner. Yes, we Bible believing and Catholic Church believing people also love and care about the sinners. We love those struggling with same sex attraction or gender identity confusion or any sinful temptation and confusion. But we help them to realize;
• Sin is still sin.
• God loves us and put His commandments (in place) to protect us.
• God is just.
• Any unconfessed mortal sin at time of death will condemn us to hell for all eternity.
• Heaven is our true home and where true pleasure is to be found.
Washington Times’ Bombshell Tapes Confirm Citizen Commission’s Findings on Benghazi ~ New findings reveal the Obama administration’s – especially Hillary Clinton’s – role in creating unnecessary chaos in Libya; setting the stage for the Benghazi disaster ~
… the U.S. government was willing to go so far as to facilitate the provision of arms to al-Qaeda-linked rebels in Libya in order to ensure that Qaddafi fell.
Don’t expect any coverage on the network news. They’ve been ignoring the story for years. And just now they’re much too busy dissecting the make-believe world of Brian Williams.
Ford Motor Company Allows Employee Feedback . . . Then FIRES Engineer for Expressing His Faith! ~ LGBT totalitarianism is rapidly spreading to the workplace. If you want to keep your job – leave your faith at home.
‘We’re leaving Britain – Jews aren’t safe here any more’ ~ Upper middle-class family emigrating to the U.S. ~
“The other week, I was standing in the queue at a large supermarket in Manchester when the man in front of me said, ‘F—— Jews, they’re all over the place. They’re thieves, they are taking over our property. They’re everywhere,’ ” says Honey. “I’ve no idea if he knew I was Jewish or not, but I was absolutely terrified, and fled.”
Obama’s latest absurdity is deliciously mockable:
Christian horses found too high ~
“Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”
Jindal: ‘The Medieval Christian Threat Is Under Control’ ~
“It was nice of the President to give us a history lesson at the Prayer breakfast. Today, however, the issue right in front of his nose, in the here and now, is the terrorism of Radical Islam, the assassination of journalists, the beheading and burning alive of captives. We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if he would face the reality of the situation today. The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today.” ~ LA Gov. Bobby Jindal
