• ‘This Race Is Far From Decided’: Allen West Wants a Recount

  ‎1 Samuel 8 – they wanted a king over them, not the King of Kings:
  …but they have rejected me [God] from being king over them…but you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them…he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. And he will appoint for himself commanders…and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to work. He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.

  I’m pretty sure that means he was an indecisive do-nothing!

  Obama repaid the compliment. “I’m walking through doors other folks broke down,” he told the Record. “A whole bunch of people worked real hard to allow me to be in this position—folks at BLSA, Prof. Bell, Edley, Ogletree and a lot of others. They are the groundbreakers.

  Yep…”You didn’t build that!”

• Union Worker Protests ‘Greedy’ American Airline Execs With YouTube Song & Dance

  I blame management for poorly managing the union and living in fear of the constant complaints over work rule violations for picking up a garbage can or moving a computer because that’s a union job. For the rest of the woes of this airline, I blame greed and selfishness and ignorance.

  @DMG8487 “After 9/11 labor gave up big money and benefits to keep their jobs”

  Let’s tell the whole truth about that concession in 2002. As an AA employee, I know what happened in those years. Not one union worker has ever mentioned that in 2000 they got huge increases – most mechanics received a 20% increase because AA was matching Delta’s incredible increases to their employees. Less than a year later, after 911 and the blows the industry took, there were concessions not just from union workers, but from us all! The union always trots out the 17% cut they took while management took a 7% cut. Well, management didn’t get any increases for years before or after 911 (and management isn’t all top executives – it’s 98% mid-level modestly paid accountants, engineers, secretaries, and administrative employees). Management went back to the level of 1997 pay, while union workers ended up 3% above their pay just a year previous to 911. Not one union member ever says that, but we always hear, “Woe is me…they stole our pay!” Middle management is still at ‘97 pay, and unions have gotten increases regularly since. Yes, the system is broken, when a union stock clerk makes more than highly skilled, experienced, loyal accountants, engineers, and administrators who are also necessary for the airline to run. When union productivity has been about 48% for years, how can an airline run. AA used to be #1. I blame upper management for not managing well, but union greed

• Should Skittles And Arizona Tea Be Forced To Share ‘Trayvon Martin Profits’?

  March 29, 2012 at 5:31pm

  …and every silly black parent who forever more names her kid “Trayvon” (can’t say “his kid” because Daddy is probably either long gone or in jail) will pay royalties to the Martins because there is an implied copyright when they wrote his name on his birth certificate…this is a tragedy and a travesty all around!!!

• ‘Journal of Medical Ethics’ Stands by Publication of ‘After-Birth Abortions’ Article

  February 29, 2012 at 9:32am

  I was reading in 2 Kings (that’s in the Bible–the only book of true ethics) about a time of severe famine when two mothers agreed to boil their young children and eat them. I wrote in the margin that desperation and a depraved mind could bring a person to this? God promises that He will never see the righteous (those who have trusted in Christ’s righteousness to cover their sinfulness) begging bread. So, the only desperation in the case of abortion is that of having to take responsibility for one’s own acts. A depraved mind will do anything–even boiling and eating its own to feed its own felt need. False gods (those made up in the minds of depraved men) are those that require(d) the sacrifice of children. God will bring His judgment on this people.
