In Kalifornia, the First Amendment doesn’t apply to Christians.

Posted by Bob Beers on Thursday, April 23, 2009 11:09:20 AM
This exchange occured at the recent Miss USA pagent between the moderator and Miss California, Carrie Prejean.

Perez Hilton: “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?”

Prejean: “Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.”


Carrie Prejean, Miss California, was the frontrunner and the favorite to win the Miss USA pageant...and then she committed the deadly sin of self-expression. She forgot where she was and what demographic comprised the majority of her audience. Hollywood is run and policed by the homosexual lobby.

(Note: I will not use the term “gay” to describe a male homosexual. Gay is a state of mind. It means to be happy. It was co-opted by a group with the full intention of twisting the dialogue to their terms.)

In the space of a few seconds, Miss Prejean went from crowd favorite to crowd goat, never mind that the same people loudly expressing their hatred were the same people with an extensive history of standing on the first amendment. The hypocrisy is that they don’t believe it extends to anyone who disagrees with their side of the issue. Some have actually called for Miss Prejean’s arrest and conviction on a hate crime charge. I doubt those individuals even know how to spell hubris.

The only group whose world view is affected solely by how they copulate is the homosexuals. They are the only people who insist on bringing what they do in the bedroom to the fore of the discussion. They the only people who use a sexual activity as the template for defining who they are.

Every group has its fanatics and the homosexual community is no exception. But the fanatics are controlling the dialogue which makes the possibility of a progressive, logical debate a non-starter, but someone has to try. One place to start is the hatred the homosexuals seem to have for Christianity while at the same time demanding that Christianity treat them as something other than what they are, same sex couples engaging in an activity the Christian Bible condemns.

This is typical of the homosexual lobby. They have mastered the “do as I say not as I do” gambit. What is dismaying is that nearly every elected official and media outlet has swallowed that lie hook line and sinker. They see no hypocrisy in homosexual couples demanding that a religion accept them as non-sinners while actively engaging in what that church views as sin. They see no hypocrisy in using the first amendment to further their aims while denying its protection to that church.

For the Christian church, marriage is to be a rite of commitment between a man and a woman. Not between a man and a girl, a girl and a boy, a man and a man or a woman and a woman. The secular world already has avenues for those arrangements, including such things as power of attorney and other documents that give a domestic partner all the access and privileges of a spouse. So what’s the problem with allowing church marriage to stand as it is?

The problem is the word “sin”. Anyone who has ever been involved in a discussion with a homosexual activist will have noticed the demeanor of unrepentant aggression that permeates the one they are speaking with. This demeanor is typical throughout the demographic. Whether the media and the politicos want to admit it or not, the homosexual community is at war with the Christian church. They view Christianity as one judging them and what they do. They consider Jesus’ admonition to “go and sin no more” as something hateful. The word “love” only means one thing, sex. The argument goes nowhere. When the terms of the discussion means different things to the participants, only confusion can result.

What this all comes down to is this: As Americans, we all have a right to express our opinions freely and without fear or repercussion...even if we happen to be a Christian living in Kalifornia.

Sarah Palin's faith

Posted by Bob Beers on Monday, December 01, 2008 9:58:45 AM
One of the chief complaints the detractors of Christianity have against Christians is that they apparently, actually believe the content of the Bible. This was one of the big knocks against Sarah Palin. Leaving all the manufactured attacks against her intelligence aside (the liberal elite cannot fathom that anyone disagreeing with them could possibly be intelligent), let’s examine those beliefs.

The one constant jibe concerns the creation of the earth. “How could anyone possibly believe that this world took only six days to make!” I could question the equally incomprehensible belief that man is descended from monkeys. The same amount of evidence exists for either, which is none. It takes the same amount of faith to accept a theory as fact as it does to believe in a religious text. But what about the text; the passage from the Old Testament book of Genesis reads. “On the first day…” Is the passage really describing a 24 hour period of time or an epoch? For the liberal elite, an epoch is a period of time that denotes the beginning and ending of an event, often geologic in nature. By description, each of the six days of creation could be construed as six individual epochs, each possibly lasting a billion years. For an eternal being, that length of time is nothing. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for a believing Christian, even by liberal standards, to take the Genesis passages on faith.

Another bone of contention is the divinity of Jesus. All right, let’s do a comparative study. The same people who sniff at that fundamental plank in the Christian faith spend an inordinate amount of time making sure the furniture in their room is aligned just so. To my mind it takes more faith to believe that the placement of a Lazy Boy will affect your future than to believe in God’s ability to father a son. What about the Islamo-Fascist belief that blowing up innocent women and children will send a terrorist to a paradise staffed with 72 virgins? And they call Sarah Palin dangerous.

Search any of the myriad religions throughout the earth and you will find something to ridicule, but a search through basic Christianity will show nothing that is a danger to anyone but the corrupt or the immoral. Is it corruption and immorality the liberal elite are desperate to protect? The horrors credited to the Christian Church are done so through errors in understanding and were actually predicted in the New Testament. Just as the defenders of Islam attempt to point out that the 911 terrorists were not representative of the Islamic Faith, the bureaucracy that carried out the Spanish Inquisition and ordered the crusades was in no way representative of Christianity. The main difference is that Christians will condemn the inquisition and all other so-called “Christian atrocities”, a Muslim will never condemn the acts of Hammas, Al Quaida, et al.

To many detractors it is more basic than a collection of beliefs. It is that even believing in a Christian style creator is a danger. In a perfect world, to them, all those who hold such a belief would be stripped of all rights and placed into reeducation centers until they came to their senses. To many, such a statement is extreme hyperbole. Unfortunately, it is not. When all the arguments, snide commentary, derogatory sniffs and other assorted expressions of disgust over a woman of faith having the temerity to even think of seeking high office are cast aside, that is what the atheistic liberal elite truly believe. They are not interested in accommodation. They do not want to live side-by-side. There is no desire for honest discussion or discourse. They have bedrock, fundamental belief that their faith is the true faith and everything else is a lie.

Interesting, isn’t it?

Abortion, the sacrament of the left

Posted by Bob Beers on Thursday, September 11, 2008 9:56:26 AM
Carol Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic chairwoman went after Sarah Palin yesterday with this bit of hysteria about McCain's choice for a running mate, “whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

Vitriolic hatred of Ronald Reagan seems to be the glue that holds the left together. Reagan was a man of top level morality, fairness, and integrity. What really ticked the left off was that he worked his deep Christian faith into his messages. He had no problem with proudly declaring where he stood and, the worst cut of all, the average American loved him for that. The results of Reagan's second election proved that beyond all argument. Now Sarah Palin is being targeted by that hatred because she has had the terribly bad manners to not be secretive of her own beliefs. Media mouthpieces for the radical left such as the New York Times and the Washington Post have even gone far enough to insist that Palin must answer several questions before she can be considered for candidacy. When did rags like that become the arbiters of America?

What is most telling is that socialistic politicians like Fowler, Pelosi, Rangle, and the list goes on; speak from the same elitist talking points. Palin’s background of coming from Wasilla, Alaska, her ability to hunt, and the worst of all, her Christian faith are, to them, extreme dangers. They apparently have no interest in economic issues. They have set aside the earmark flap since Palin dealt Representative Stevens a death blow. To them the social spectrum has become the overriding issue because Palin goes to church. Somehow they believe that the day McCain takes office he is going to drop dead and this rabid (shudder) Christian woman will be president and every abortion doctor will be put to death…every book not found in a One Way bookshop will be burned, and only white shoes and leisure suits will be allowed to be worn on the streets.

The above may sound ridiculous, but that is in essence what these people believe. It is a gut reaction to anyone who does not share their religion, and whether you agree or not, liberalism is a religion and abortion is one of its sacraments. The fact that Palin gave birth after science discovered her child was inflicted with Downs Syndrome was, to them, a blasphemous act. If this was the Middle East they would be called for Palin to be publicly stoned to death. They call themselves Pro-Choice, but there is no real choice, not when only one option is valid. In order to be a true member of the church of liberalism, a woman is supposed to offer her child as a sacrifice upon the alter of liberalism’s god, the ever-expanding all-powerful nanny government. Palin has violated that sacrament and her approval rating, nearly 12 times higher than the Democrat VP candidate, petrifies the left.

Has anyone ever wondered why the liberal elite never once complained about the Taliban’s treatment of women?

Obama says he's a muslim

Posted by Bob Beers on Monday, September 08, 2008 9:26:06 AM
This was said by Obama," Let's not play games," he said. "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come." 

  One of the items in Obama's baggage that has been downplayed considerably is the background of his pastor, the so-called reverend Wright. A brief scan of the content in Mr. Wright's sermons puts was this man says on a very similar ground with the sermons of Louis Farakan. Farakan has been and is, whether or not anyone wants to acknowledge it, a leader of the Black Muslim community in this country. Obama has yet to explain why he stayed a member of a church that preached hatred of everything Christian if...this is the big one...he was in actuality a believing Christian. No, I think what we have finally seen is a slip of the tongue that has revealed the truth.
