Tom, Jesus, Barack, and Elton

Updates on recent articles, two of which are sickening, two of which are pathetic, all of which are indicative of a world in dire need of a reality check-up:

BABY TOM IS DEAD. He didn’t have to die. Well, yes he did. You see, Baby Tom Godwin missed the cut. He was born 12 days too soon according to the British National Health Service’s minimum requisite of 24 weeks gestation and so NHS doctors at Southend Hospital, Southend, Essex, England, left him unattended, untreated, and uncared-for.

Baby Tom lived for 46 minutes.

His mum, Tracy Godwin, age 31, had just given birth to her first child and was bewildered. “We couldn’t understand why no one was helping him,” she said. Her confusion was somewhat remarkable considering that she–and Tom, briefly– lived in England where the NHS–the model for Obamacare–provided “universal health care,” except for people like Tom and any others it deems unworthy of care or treatment.

Poor little Tom didn’t even get the benefit of a death panel, those decision-making bodies of experts which, we’re told, will not be a feature of Obamacare. Or, maybe, unknowingly, he did. Either way, the verdict was death.

JESUS IS UNCOMFORTABLE. At least to a Minnesota lawmaker He is. “State Sen. Terri Bonoff, who is Jewish, said she feels uncomfortable when ministers mention Jesus and Christianity during prayers.” Eighty-one percent of Minnesotans are Christians but Sen. Bonoff ”said she feels uncomfortable when ministers mention Jesus and Christianity during prayers.”

When the senate Baptist chaplain, Dennis Campbell, offered a prayer mentioning Jesus Christ not once, not twice, but three times and uttered the words, “And we pray, Lord, that you help us to show reverence to the Lord Jesus Christ and the word of God today,” Bonoff was beside herself.

In high dudgeon following those offensive–if not seditious–words, Bonoff objected, demanding Campbell not be invited back and that, in the future, chaplains be required to deliver “non-denominational prayers:” http://bit.ly/ePs9tr

Something along the lines of, “Oh, Great Someone, have mercy on us” or, “Dear Mother Earth, please oversee our endeavors” might placate the good senator, and might not.

BARACK IS TRANSPARENT. In what could be, but isn’t, a satirical item from TheOnion.com . . .

Barack and His Amazing Technicolor Conversion!

Barack and His Amazing Technicolor Conversion!

Back in the old days, circa 1971 A.D., Don Imus, pre-WFAN and pre- his “nappy-headed ho’s” scandal, had a song-shtick on his morning radio show which featured the “Reverend Billy Saul Hargis,” pastor of the First Church of the Gooey Death and Discount House of Worship.

In part, the lyrics were, “Well, I don’t care if it rains or freezes/Long as I have my plastic Jesus/Riding on the dashboard of my car./ I can go a hundred miles an hour/Long as I got the almighty power/Glued up there by my pair of fuzzy dice.”

As irreverent as those lyrics were, our president may have outdone them in irreverence. He’s glued his plastic Jesus up there next to his framed picture of himself.

The same man who proclaimed to the Muslim world that America was not a Christian nation seems to have experienced a Christian epiphany comparable to that of Saul of Tarsus. Okay, Obama wasn’t knocked off his high horse and wasn’t blinded by a light but he must have had a startling epiphany nevertheless since he finally “got religion,” and the Christian religion at that!

Not one to often darken the doorways of churches since he tossed his pastor of 20 years under a Greyhound, along with the Reverend Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, Barack Obama has finally cleared the festering air as to whether he is a Muslim or a Christian: “President Obama took the issue of his faith head on Tuesday, telling residents in New Mexico that he is a ‘Christian by choice’ who came to religion later in life after being inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ.”

Now, is that a heartfelt, sincere profession of Christian faith or what? . . .

Elton John: Confession of a Gay Predator

Elton John: Confession of a Gay Predator
Why is it that some minority groups are permitted to take umbrage at supposed slights but that any of their retaliatory measures are denied to the majority?

New York’s Governor-by-accident David Patterson is one of the latest in a long line of African Americans to invoke the R-word when situations devoid of any racist intent lead friend and foe alike to lambaste their activities and their only defense is to cry, “Racism!”

It’s a tried and true tactic characteristic of those in the civil rights movement for as long as there has been a civil rights movement.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, even Martin Luther King, Jr. have pulled out the old race card for the purpose of deflecting attention away from themselves and onto whites for the purpose of stirring guilt in non-African Americans and to thereby gain a measure of victimhood with its concomitant freedom from responsibility and accountability.

That art of deflection and arousing guilt has been adopted by a new and powerful minority, those in the gay community, which helps enable them to get away with virtual murder.

Having established that they have been unjustly denied their rights for eons, they have gained the sympathies of large numbers of heterosexuals who seem willing now to over-compensate by allowing gays to do and say whatever they please, to do things and say things that just a generation ago would not have been tolerated from anyone.

Cases in point are the vicious attacks of gadabout gay Perez Hilton on anti-gay marriage Miss America, Carrie Prejean and “American Idol,” Adam Lambert’s outrageous, gay conduct at last year’s American Music Awards

Lambert attributed America’s disgust to the fact, “I am a gay male:” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1346

Add to those the annual gay pride demonstrations in places such as Boston, San Francisco, New York and various other locales in which homosexuals strut their stuff, engage in exhibitionism, and seduce America’s vulnerable youth to their sick lifestyle.

Gays have misinterpreted a degree of acceptance for agreement to licentiousness and license.

The latest gay outrage comes in an article in the UK’s The Sun titled, “Elton: Jesus Was a Gay Lord.” . . .

Obama's Winter Fall from Grace: ANGER

Obama’s Winter Fall from Grace: ANGER

Second in a series on the collapse of the Obama presidency, its causes, and its effects on Barack Obama, effects comparable to the 5stages of grief. Part One dealt with denial. Today:

ANGER

Our leader is said by his acolytes to be unflappable, (as well as brilliant, articulate, charming, handsome, gracious, etc. etc. etc.), yet he became clearly “flapped” with our banking system, our banks, their executives, and their bonuses.

He thereby betrayed a distinct capacity for flappability, aka anger, and its concomitant ugly counterpart, revenge, both an outgrowth of Obama’s realization of his failing presidency and his tendency to strike out in frustration.

Long ago I had a mini-dispute with a nun, Sister James, when I contended Jesus became angry with all the greedy Jewish moneylenders in the temple and proceeded to kick the bums out. She contended Jesus’ anger was righteous anger and therefore acceptable.

Sister James was a nice nun so I accepted that explanation for Jesus’ fury.

Even though some believe Barack Obama, the Obamassiah, represents the Second Coming, I don’t think his unmitigated fury with the 21st century moneylenders on Wall Street is either righteous or justified. It’s just petulant.

What’s the difference?

First of all, we have to consider motivation. Jesus Christ’s motivation was to rid the temple of those who were desecrating it with their moneygrubbing practices of usury. Barack Obama’s motivation goes to the issue of the collapse of his presidency and that aforementioned anger, need for revenge, and petulance.

One must remember that our president is unaccustomed to working a real job, unaccustomed to his new found publishing wealth, and unaccustomed to being crossed. And he’s being crossed left and right.

He’s gotten paychecks, of course, from the state of Illinois and the United States Treasury for . . .
