• ‘What the Frack!’: Colorado School Kids Made to Participate in Anti-Fracking Rap During Assembly

  @Madeleine Morgenstern

  Did you know that “frack” was the replacement term for the “f-word” on the SciFi series BattleStar Galactica? It was used extensively in the show, and was a way to use the F-word in the series without getting bleeped.

• Dem. Senator: Threatening to Nullify Fed Gun Laws Is Like Opposing Desegregation

  May 7, 2013 at 12:18pm

  He is right about one thing – it is like desegregation. But not the way he thinks. Like Martin Luther Jr fought for civil rights for blacks, we fight now to uphold our civil rights to own guns. There is no difference in a sign that says “no coloreds allowed” outside a restaurant and a sign that says “this restaurant bans guns.” Both are discrimination and violate the constitution.

• Calif. Parents Whose Baby Was Seized by Police Are One Step Closer to Regaining Full Custody After Court Ruling

  If TheBlaze really wants a huge story, look into WHY this hospital tried to call CPS on this family. My guess is the hospital did it for money. They wanted to force the family to spend thousands of dollars at their hospital on unnecessary surgery.

  I’m starting to see more and more now that health care providers – especially hospitals – rarely do things anymore simply for the good of the patient. Does anyone honestly think doctors would be pushing certain pharmaceuticals that only do a so-so job and always have bad “side effects” if there weren’t billions of dollars pushing them do so? When my wife and I had our baby, we did so at home with a midwife. We started visiting the hospital for the pre-natal visits, but they didn’t really do anything during those visits but listen to the baby’s heartbeat. My wife expressed to her doctor she wanted as natural a birth as possible, but the doctor told her since it was her first baby, she wouldn’t be able to do it … that they needed to talk about using forceps and episiodomies, and other interventions – including C-section. We quit going to the doctor, got a midwife and had the baby at home without any drugs. The midwife was MUCH more thorough than the doctor had been, and did housecalls. It cost $3000 rather than the estimated $35,000 at the hospital. We came to understand many of the hospital’s procedures and treatments had no purpose other than generating revenue for the hospital. Probably true in this story t

• Texas Police Dept. Provides Statement to TheBlaze on Vet Arrested After ‘Rudely Displaying’ Rifle (Plus, a Texas Firearms Attorney Weighs In)

  @Akamongo,

  He didn’t say he was hunting, he said he was defending himself and his son from possible danger with his weapon. It is perfectly legal to walk down the street with a tactically ready AR-15. The point here is Mr. Grisham wasn’t breaking any laws. The officers in this case illegally detained him, illegally disarmed him, and then illegally arrested him. They need to be fired for sure. They violated his 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, 4th amendment, and 5th amendment rights (of he and his son).

  This is a clear example of bad, corrupt cops. They need severe discipline. Firing is good, but they should also be disqualified from being a police officer again.

• Former Volleyball Star Gabrielle Reece Ignites Controversy With Marriage Advice: Being ‘Submissive’ Is a Sign of Strength

  Eph 5:21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
  Eph 5:33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

  The Bible advocates mutual submission between spouses – wife submits to her husband’s need for respect,and a husband submits to his wife’s need for love. You only get people “battering” their spouses with the Bible when they pick and choose which part to listen to (for example, a husband who insists his wife submit to him, while not submitting to her).

• Critics Pan Yet Another MSNBC Promo with Harris-Perry: You Have ‘Right’ to Health Care, Decent Housing, and ‘Quality Food at All Times’

  April 11, 2013 at 8:51am

  Why is it than “liberal” rights are free and provided for by the government, but “constitutional rights” such as the right to bear arms is not only NOT provided for by the government, but is condemned?

• MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Redefines Racism – Apparently Only ‘Whites’ Are Racist

  April 3, 2013 at 11:06am

  Colleges and Universities have been teaching that only minorities can be victims of racism for at least 2 decades. When my wife went to the University of Minnesota she had a class where the professor said that it was impossible for minorities to be racist, so Matthews comments (while wildly racist and inaccurate) are not surprising.

• Dead on? Researcher Claims Increase in Zombie Obsession Is Connected to Economic Upheaval

  March 12, 2013 at 11:03am

  In reply to Gup20.

  @HIGHERROAD of course, you are right… I am speaking metaphorically of the zombie within. But listen, the same is true of the believer. Romans 7 & 8 talks about the dichotomy that happens within a believer who is alive in the inner man, but dead in his flesh. Romans 8 says God condemns sin in the flesh, yet makes righteous and alive the spirit of the believer. Paul talks about doing the things he hates, and that it isn’t him, but sin in him that does it. He bemoans this split when he says in Romans 7:

  22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
  23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
  24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
  25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

  He also says in Romans 8:

  10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

  Physically, we live with death, sickness, and disease present in our bodies (our flesh). You can see where the concept of zombie can come from if death was not the original design. Man was originally created “very good” without death. Death is the result of sin, and didn’t come until sin (Rom 5:12). Metaphorically, sin is like zombie virus.

  @Billy Hallowell I’m surprised you didn’t see the link to Christian theology in zombie genre.

  Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

  So there was no death in the original creation, but Adam sinned and caused death to come into the world. The infection of death has been passed to all.

  Rom 7:19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
  20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
  21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
  22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
  23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
  24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
  25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

  In Christian theology, we are all walking dead. We all have the zombie within us.

• Colorado Dem to Rape Survivor: A Gun Wouldn’t Have Helped You Against Rapist Because ‘Statistics Are Not on Your Side’

  March 5, 2013 at 1:22pm

  As a community we need to start viewing and talking about our 2nd amendment rights in the same way we see civil rights. Would we allow someone to put up a sign that says “No coloreds allowed in this restaurant”? We would all avoid such a place. But a restaurant puts up a sign that says “this establishment bans guns” and most people don’t bat an eye. Well civil rights guarantee you are not discriminated against based on your race, color, or ethnicity. Our 2nd amendment rights are a more unconditional right than civil rights because it is a specifically delineated right, whereas civil rights are mostly implied.

  Why is it OK to discriminate against gun owners? Just like we wouldn’t accept segregation on the basis that it “makes people feel more comfortable” we also don’t accept violating someone’s 2nd amendment rights to make others feel more comfortable. Yes, some bad people do bad things with guns. It’s not because of the gun, it is because they are bad people. The vast majority (over 99.9%) of gun owners are law abiding. We don’t try to segregate and make laws against all Hispanic people when a Hispanic person murders someone, so why would we ban all guns from law abiding gun owners when someone commits a gun crime?

  We need to start using a description for those who propose and support gun legislation – BIGOTS. These are small-minded bigots who can’t see past their own prejudice and fear. They treat every gun and every gun owner like a murdere
