Text Box: COMMENTS ON SOME 
INDICATORS OF OUR TIMES

Vasectomy rates rise amid recession woes - the headline states. Let’s see, how many sins did it take to convince men to emasculate themselves: sloth in desiring everyone else to provide them with the necessities and luxuries of life, lust in deeming sexual intercourse to be for one’s own pleasure and  control of another, that enough.

Atheist sue to take God out of Obama inauguration - another headline read. Not to worry. God wasn’t there.

Lung cancer patients get blamed for their disease - another headline reads. Partially stated and fully implied in the article, because of the means by which lung cancer is deemed to be contracted (cigarette smoking), those who contract lung cancer should be left to their own devices and receive neither assistance nor even insurance coverage. But those who contract HIV/AIDS are considered victims. Sexually transmitted diseases are considered “unfair” and must be treated at public expense. And pregnancy is considered a curse. Those who agree with this are morally insane. It is not just a matter that political correctness is not divine correctness. It is not even a matter of “correctness”. Think about it - or have you lost that ability also.

Bea (Beatrice) Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" and who won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame," died April 25, 2009 A.D. She was 86. A leader of the pro abortion movement - her character “Maude” was one of the first prime time TV personalities to openly have an abortion -, of the gay privileges movement, and of every immoral act possible for an human to commit - though she may have been selective in the forms of commission. What did she think when she died and immediately was before the Judgment Throne of God? What did she think of her eternal reward? Do you think you Text Box: know what her eternal reward is? If so, do you desire the same eternal reward?

Have you noticed that there are more and more severe crimes, and an increase in the level of “weirdness” in crime? In recent weeks there have been a larger than “normal” number of murder suicides, but one of the strangest crimes occurred in Manchester, Iowa. There it is alleged a thirty-two year old man struck his father in the head with a flashlight and a length of firewood, then cut the pacemaker from his father’s chest using a pocketknife. But, then, these things have been happening with increasing frequency as the era of Obama progresses. Is there a connection? Evil breeding Evil???

Polish clash with Kent State students, the headline shouted. The writer may have meant police and not Polish, for there is no mention of Poles in the story. The headline also is incorrect in that in the story is stated some Kent State students rioted. Therefore the students clashed with the police, not the police clashed with the students. Unless, of course, the writer intended to state that the students had the right to riot - including starting fires throwing furniture into fires. Perhaps the furniture was owned by some people from Poland.

The Department of Homeland Security under Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano considers veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to be security risks because they could be susceptible to being recruited by right-wingers a/k/a Republicans! So now the freedom loving totalitarians known as Liberal Democrats or just simply as Democrats are attempting to criminalize belonging to the Republican Party. If Homeland Security Secretary deems a group to be a terrorist organization, then there is the potential for its members to be held (jailed) without recourse. And if you do not believe this is possible, well, in 1959, would you have believed it would be possible to legally kill babies? In 1970, would you have believed marriage would be re-defined to include homosexual “unions”?
Text Box: Enron, Ken Lay, Al Gore, and cap-and-trade carbon emissions as related to “global warming”. Wow! Who would have thought that Al Gore consulted with Ken Lay regarding cap-and-trade carbon emissions. Especially since cap-and-trade would provide great opportunity for fraud, which was a specialty of Enron. Anyone who has a working brain should not be surprised - birds of a feather and all that.

Peace deal with Taliban in doubt after roadblock Anyone dumb enough to think the Taliban will keep a peace arrangement would also expect placing Obama in charge of a hospital’s baby birth-delivery facilities will result in an increase in the number of live births.

Presbyterians defeat bid to allow gay ministers which indicates Presbyterians are more morally and dogmatically on the ball and accurate than the Anglicans who have lesbian bishops “married” to lesbians, as well as homosexual bishops “married” to homosexuals. What could be more at variance with what is usual or normal than males having sex with each other or females having sex with each other? Abortion. And having as a moral leader one who rejects God’s instructions, such as a practicing homosexual, or an abortionist.

Tamiflu, used to combat pandemic flu outbreaks, was developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., under the general direction of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, a Republican much hated by Democrats. He was a member of Gilead's board of directors between 1988 and 2001, and its chairman from 1997. Gilead receives a royalty of about 10% of sales from pharmaceutical giant Roche, which now manufactures and sells Tamiflu. Rumsfeld has millions of dollars in Gilead stock and makes a "bundle" from each flu scare/outbreak. Liberal Democrats preach these profits are money stolen from the poor. But without the profit motive there would be no Tamiflu. Think about it. Would you dig a ditch for free? Could it possibly be, there is jealousy of some sort because Rumsfeld is making money from the sale of Tamiflu? Or perhaps just simple hatred of Rumsfeld is sufficient to create a clamor against there being a profit derived from selling Tamiflu
