I applaud Tim Tebow and Focus on the Family for running a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl. However, by all accounts so far, it is a very mild message about “life” and hardly an in “in your face abortion is murder” commercial.
Still, CBS is being touted as “bold” for their bravery to run a “pro life” message… GASP!!!!
Have we really descended so far into political correctness and drifted so far from God as a culture that it is a media event and a controversy to air a commercial that gently says “family’s are good, if you get pregnant , choose to let your baby live…” I doubt it will even be that “bold”. Unless the message is almost hidden about “abortion is killing babies” there’s not much chance of it being aired.
Kudos to Tebow and FOF but it’s a shame we have to invest how many ever millions on one commercial to let people know they should not murder their babies. Those millions would support a lot of missionaries sharing a lot of Gospel to countless numbers of people who need the Savior… just a thought.
And by they way, it’s not “womens’ groups” wanting the ad pulled… it is the ABORTION INDUSTRY who want the ads pulled because it will cut into their murder-for-hire income…
Super Bowl ad stokes U.S. abortion controversy
DALLAS/CHICAGO, Jan 26 (Reuters) – U.S. women’s groups are urging television broadcaster CBS not to air an ad during next month’s Super Bowl football championship final because they say it has a strident anti-abortion rights message.
The plans to air the ad, sponsored by a conservative Christian group called Focus on the Family, could see the polarizing issue of abortion rights dropped squarely in the midst of National Football League’s premier event.
It would be the first time that Focus on the Family, a politically influential evangelical group founded by James Dobson, has bought air time during the Super Bowl — the ultimate prize of the advertising world with 30-second spots going for up to $3.2 million.
The Women’s Media Center and over 30 other liberal and women’s advocacy groups sent a letter to CBS, the TV network to air the Super Bowl on Feb. 7, saying: “… we urge you to immediately cancel this ad and refuse any other advertisement promoting Focus on the Family’s agenda.”
“We are calling on CBS to stick to their policy of not airing controversial advocacy ads … and this is clearly a controversial ad,” Jehmu Greene, the president of the Women’s Media Center, told Reuters.
The hoax of global warming and “climate change” continues to be exposed for the fraud that it is.
What amazes me, is the very same tactics, bullying, tricks and hoaxes are used to “prove” Darwinian Evolution BUT… some of the same brave people that recognize the great hoax of Global Warming (like Neil Boortz, an otherwise very honest observer of things) are completely deceived by the great hoax of Evolution, and worse, refuse to even CONSIDER the possibility it is wrong, or apply the same critical thinking to both.
Could it be that considering the truth about the utter deception of Darwin would necessitate considering that MAYBE GOD DID CREATE US? AND MAYBE WE DO HAVE TO ANSWER TO HIM?
Oh, the sheer horror. Can’t have that…
UN climate chief admits mistake on Himalayan glaciers warning.
The UN’s top climate change body has issued an unprecedented apology over its flawed prediction that Himalayan glaciers were likely to disappear by 2035.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said yesterday that the prediction in its landmark 2007 report was “poorly substantiated” and resulted from a lapse in standards. “In drafting the paragraph in question the clear and well-established standards of evidence, required by the IPCC procedures, were not applied properly,” the panel said. “The chair, vice-chair and co-chairs of the IPCC regret the poor application of IPCC procedures in this instance.”
The stunning admission is certain to embolden critics of the panel, already under fire over a separate scandal involving hacked e-mails last year.
Okay, a third of the economy might be out of reach now (healthcare) but let’s go ahead and bit off as much as we before people start to notice. A billion here, a hundred billion there… pretty soon the Government owns most of the economy… almost there.
Now with the stroke of a pen, Obama wants to control who gets school loans. And make no mistake friends, this is about CONTROL first, and money is a nice byproduct. You can bet that Obama Buddies will handsome profitably as the nationalized education loan business starts magically going to people who vote liberal Democrat.
When paybacks result in government control and paying back people who voted for you… that’s a WIN/WIN… unless you are a hard working American taxpayer.
Obama to Nationalize Student Lending with Pending Budget Bill
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
By Matt Cover, Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) – A bill currently before the Senate would empower the Obama administration to nationalize the student lending industry, eliminating the federally subsidized private loans millions of university students rely on to finance their educations.
The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act – currently being considered by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee – would eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. FFEL loans are federally subsidized and make up approximately 80 percent of the student lending industry.
According to the Department of Education, 14.3 million of the 17.5 million student loans were federally subsidized for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Under Obama’s plan, the government would consume the entirety of this industry – a total of $103 billion in 2009-2010.
Here’s the kind of absurd, foolish, childish kind of thinking that shows the world what liberal thinking really is.
Danny Glover went from actor, to typical Hollywood liberal, to race baiter to his final resting place of completely irrelevant idiot with this latest absurdity.
Says Glover: “When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”
Absurd, obscene, disrespectful to use the Haitians as a political point, a level of worldview stupidity almost incomprehensible to normal people. The only thing missing, and it will probably come, is some racial proclamation that the Haitians weren’t cared for by Americans because we don’t like black people… what a bumbling fool.
A shame when he could have just stuck with what he is good at: acting on screen. Not acting like an brainwashed buffoon in real life. Oh wait… he’s good at that too.
Here’s a really good article… not much to comment on, just wanted you to read it:
Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.
No one understands this better than Barack Obama [...]

There is not a day goes by that you don’t hear a Liberal politician talking about how a tax on the “rich” is the way to go to pay something.
These IDIOTS are taxing the very people that provide the VAST MAJORITY of jobs to Americans, and guess what brainiac… all they do is pass on [...]
A story reports that $98 BILLION, that billion with a “B” has been MIS-PAID by the government. Now, anyone who even remotely keeps up with the real issue, knows beyond doubt that if $98 billion is reported, it’s probably many times MORE than that in reality.
Who cares… let’s hand over a 1/4th of the economy [...]

We should submit to the laws of our land and [...]
Don’t Kill People: A Bold Message?
