Eyes Right

Eye Lash

"The culture war is up for grabs. The good news is that religious conservatives continue to breed like rabbits, while secular saboteurs have shut down: they're too busy walking their dogs, going to bathhouses and aborting their kids. Time, it seems, is on the side of the angels."

—Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League

The War Against Snoopy

Not only is President Obama a closet Muslim, he also hates Charlie Brown and the rest of the “Peanuts” franchise. Or so said Russell Wiseman, mayor of Arlington, Tennessee. In a posting to his Facebook page, Wiseman charged that Obama purposely timed his primetime speech on the Afghan war to preempt the broadcast of the “Peanuts” Christmas special.

Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our Muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute dissertation (sic) about it....when the answer should simply be 'yes'....

More alarming than Wiseman’s conspiratorial rant may be the 6, 639 people – 40 percent of the total –who voted in a Memphis newspaper’s online poll, agreeing that “Mayor Wiseman speaks for a lot of Americans who are frustrated with the President.” Fifty-one percent of respondents answered, “His comments are inappropriate and embarrassing.” One more sign of a divided America.

Holocaust Politics

Rick Warren got some heat for describing abortion as a holocaust during his December appearance on Meet the Press. While Warren may not have specifically referred to the Holocaust of World War II, other activists are not so shy about connecting Nazis and abortion providers. A Canadian anti-abortion activist gave a talk at Columbia on November 16 entitled, “Echoes of the Holocaust,” in which she claimed concentration camps are akin to abortion clinics. The Christian prolife organization Survivors features photos from Nazi concentration camps on its homepage. This increasingly common rhetoric makes the lives of fetuses and people equivalent, precisely the goal of the personhood movement.

So Easy a Cave Man Can Do It?

Already dubbed by environmentalists as a caveman for his stances on global warming, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) recently told Fox News why he does not believe that climate change is caused by human activity:

"Imagine if you were in a peninsula around 1,000 BC or so or earlier and your name was Tor and you’re out huntin’ mastodon. And you didn’t notice that the glaciers were melting and leaving the devastating flooding in its wake that became the Great Lakes in the state of Michigan. So I think what we have to do is go back in history and look at this and realize that the Earth has been here a long time and they’ve selected periods of time and say somehow this proves there’s a manmade global warming occurring is absolutely wrong."

McCotter is incorrect about the time frame for the glaciers melting (it was actually between 10,000 and 15,000 B.C.) and when people were hunting mastodons in what became North America. McCotter may need to review some history books along with research on climate change.
