Peter Labarbera, being interviewed by a Brazillian homophobe:

We lost the struggle over legal abortion in the USA but now the pro-life side has all the momentum, so thing can change. The Bible indicates that there are dark days ahead as the world as we know it comes to a close. But it also tells us not to try to predict when Jesus is coming back. Some Christians opt to abandon the “Culture Wars” because they presume that these are the end times (in the immediate future). But imagine how the Christians must have felt in Germany when Hitler was taking over and when the Nazis began their awful genocide against the Jews and other peoples! It was wrong then for Christians to become disengaged from politics and culture – and it had devastating consequences -- and it is wrong today.

Craziness - of Biblical proportions.

Side note, go enjoy Peter's remarkable poor understanding of freedom of speech, his claims that 3% of the population is going to destroy the entire Christian world's way of life, and his absurd notion that American conservatives ought give a shit about something that goes on in Canada.

IFhIgh:

Yet, in reality, the New Age movement has had a serious negative impact on many unsuspecting people.

People who have never set foot inside a New Age store, people who would laugh at the thought of pretty rocks containing healing powers -- these same people are enthusiastically and blindly embracing dangerous New Age philosophies, all because of their admiration and devotion to the powerful and popular woman who is advancing these beliefs.

Who has become the High Priestess of the New Age Movement? Who is this woman who commands the respect of millions, whose stamp of approval can make or break a book, movie, or political candidate? She is the host of the highest rated talk show in television history, a magazine publisher, and an Academy Award nominated actress. She is Chicago's very own, Oprah Winfrey

While Oprah is free to believe whatever she wants, it is horrifying that so many souls are being led astray as they follow her lead. This incredibly influential woman could be a powerful ambassador for Christ, but instead, she is being used by Satan to peddle the "spiritual crack" of New Age teaching that leads to addiction, death, and eternal damnation.

As Christ's return draws closer, we must stand firm in our faith, sure in what we believe and know to be true.

And I thought their take on the dangers of the homosexual agenda was over the top. For fucks sake, it's day time TV - not a mortal sin resulting in eternal damnation.

I’ve heard the idea that Hillary Clinton is planning to damage Obama so badly that he loses to John “more of the same” McCain in the general election so she can run against McSame in the 2012 election.

So I have an idea: concede. Let her win the primary.

When When coupled with this:

At a press conference Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that he, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean would push uncommitted superdelegates to announce their presidential choice no later than July 1.

Just the fact that Kos's Kidz are coming up with another one of their "win by losing" fantasies and the Dem's big 3 have determined that it is far better to piss off half the party in June rather than when their Convention rolls around, should tell you what a bunch of assclowns we're actually up against. Either Hillary or Obama would certainly kick the shit out of McCain moving forward, but since they're both hell bent on staying in primary land, it allows McCain time to raise money and otherwise shut the fuck up while Hillary and Obama expend millions and rip each other to shreds.

I really don't need to join the ample list of people blogging Rogers Park. I really don't know enough to comment about anything related to this hood. But this shit, just concerns me:

One of the initiatives that Supreme Master Television promoted was Meatout Day. Would your ward be interested in promoting that as a way of reducing?

Alderman Joe Moore: Oh, absolutely and we have an e-mail list of over 4000 residents in my ward that receive regular e-mails from my office about community news and events, and this is certainly something that we would definitely want to support.

I think that if Joe Moore promotes his Meatout day, I'll hold a BBQ in a park. Just to piss off Moore and the resident bleeding hearts, I'll call it "Gluttonous Consumption Day".

h/t: The Bench.

As it turns out, the new neighborhood is like bloggiest ever. Not exactly surprising. The neighborhood could be a text book example of gentrification and I'm pretty sure there are as many on duty police here as there were off duty police living near midway.

So the other day, I'm strolling around having a smoke and I observe 2 women taking some pictures near what I've dubbed "the tire eater" - a pair of nasty potholes. Despite the fact that the block has a gigantic school and ample speed bumbs, there are still a few assholes who hit these things the wrong way. Who knew that I'd see the pictures on the interwebz a few hours later.
