On World Stage Obama Makes An Ass of Himself (again)

According to Obama the shootings in Colorado last week; that “just doesn’t happen in other countries.” He’s speaking in Paris.

Democrats are arrogant, narrative junkie, tone-deaf, morons and this is their leader.

There is, actually, at least one thing related to Planned Parenthood that does not happen in any other western country? Want to know what it is?

Patriots Grumble Thread – sort of…

The Patriots finally lost a game, what a relief. Seriously. This undefeated season thing was never going to happen so it’s just as well. The pressure was getting to me. Sadly–and I have not watched the game yet but will tonight–more injuries in the news as key players continue to drop like flies. Won’t be … Read more

ISIS is in Canada…

ISIS is…an immigration settlement service in Canada. (Worst luck since Ayds diet candy– and appetite suppressant–was driven off the shelf by A.I.D.S. in the 80’s?)   Or, a convenient coincidence?

This is why the Church should stay out of the Global Climate Change debate

This weekend marked the first Sunday in Advent, one of two penitential seasons for Catholics. Lent is the other penitential season, and it is closely related in that we are awaiting the coming of Christ during both times. In the gospel readings during Mass this weekend, we heard of the “natural phenomena and calamitous reactions in the world prior to the coming of the Son of Man with power and great glory.” In other words, according to the gospels, Christ’s return will be in the midst of great upheavals in the physical environment.

What kind of upheavals in the environment, you ask? Well, in a special letter to parishioners this weekend, Bishop Libasci explains what is meant by the upheavals, while also counseling us Catholics to not be perplexed by the “changing atmospheric conditions and the changes in the sea”.  The upheavals all sound strangely akin to the mantra about global climate change recited by the environmentalist crowd, yet there is a twist to this message. The Bishop further counsels us to not “die of fright” over these–and other–environmental changes.  He says we shouldn’t fear them.

There is No Separation of Church And “State Refugee Resettlement Dollars”

 

If you are one of those “separation of church and state” folks or someone who takes issue with the Feds sending tax-dollars to religious organizations you’d best not also be out there crying compassion for the resettlement of refugees. Why? Because most of the billions spent to resettle refugees in the US every year goes to 11 contractors, 7 of whom are religious.

The Climate Cult Gathers In Paris To End Capitalism

Climategate
In celebration of the 6th anniversary of Climategate…

The Klimate Kult has a Klanbake coming up in Paris and many believe it to be, like all those that preceded it, the last chance for a deal. What’s the deal? They are going there to use the weather as an excuse to advance the socialist utopia.

(IBD) At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.

Jennifer Horn’s comments regarding the 2016 Presidential Candidacy of Donald Trump jeopardize the primary process, and the first in the nation primary.

Was Your Turkey Table Hijacked By Totalitarians?

Wrecking Thanksgiving

Charles C.W. Cooke warns the right not to embrace a Holiday habit of the left…

NRO | Charles C.W. Cooke

Putting the merits to one side, there is something rather totalitarian about the injunction to hijack a ceremonial meal and read talking points prepared by partisans of the state. One does not have to be a right-winger to acknowledge this.
