• FBI Fatally Shoots Florida Man With Possible Link to Boston Bombing Suspect

  May 22, 2013 at 12:16pm

  In reply to The Big Mick.

  Actually, knowing our PC gov’t, this may be as easy as leaving a female FBI agent alone to question the suspect who, MMA or not, thinks he can intimidate or attack the agent and she had to shoot him. The article says the agent felt threatened and had to defend themselves. They don’t ever state the gender of the agent. I’ve heard that female police officers shoot suspects more often than their male counterparts because they can’t physically deal with a large male perp. I’m not trying to slight female FBI agents or police officers, but there are times they should not be left on their own. The same would be true for a smaller male agent or officer being left to guard or interrogate a larger or beligerant suspect. If there is a conspiracy, it may be no more than covering for their own stupidity.

• White Family (Including 14-Year-Old Daughter) Reportedly Attacked for Being in the ‘Wrong Neighborhood’ of Baton Rouge

  @David-FL:

  Oh, Bruce can see evil all right. It’s just that his definition of evil is not the same as yours or mine.

  Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

  Thanks for the sound advice. You never know what situation may arise. Gotta stay loose and aware. Trust your instincts. If it feels bad, get the hell out. No shame in living to fight another day. These poor folks ended up in a situation they probably never saw coming until the opening move in the confrontation. Then, it’s too late. A concealed weapon, properly employed, would have been useful.

• Are Stories of Historical Christian Martyrdom ‘Exaggerated, Invented and Forged’? Professor Outlines Myth Theory

  Regardless of Leftist assertions to the contrary, the US was founded on Christian principles by Christians, It is the atheists and secular humanists who have shown up in the last few decades and have quite successfully wrested control of our education system, the media, the government and the popular culture from Christians, not Christians who have lately begun to put their noses into these things. Christians were largely silent on most of these matters in the past because there was no radical departure from Christian norms of behavior. Now that is no longer true and Christians have “suddenly” become vocal on matters they never had to speak on before because they now see the changes (not for the better) taking hold of society. So Christians have to be silenced in the Left’s estimation. This book will aid in that purpose.

  Today, Christians are being persecuted everywhere that there is a Muslim majority in power. That persecution may be minor in some instances and vicious in others, but it is widespread and persistent in those countries.
  In the US Christians are being persecuted at the nuisance level at the moment by the government and the media. This persecution is of the Alinsky variety – isolate, ridicule, discredit, disenfranchise, etc. This is the same pattern used against Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s at the onset of the Holocaust. Is it any wonder that US Christians feel uneasy about it? This book will allow the Left to say, “There go those Christians again – always lying and exaggerating about how they’re being persecuted. We all know it isn’t really true.” This is often the aim of such revisionist history. Readers should take care to review the sources used to produce a work that is a radical departure from accepted historical accounts. An example is the Leftist historian, Michael Bellesiles, who used bogus data to write his history of gun ownership in America that showed that Americans historically owned very few guns when at one time virtually everyone owned guns. History should not be used for political ends. “The Truth has no agenda.”

  As the author says, Christians were persecuted from time to time in the Roman Empire. Different Roman emperors viewed Christians differently on the threat scale, so to speak. But, when they were persecuted, it was often massive in scale. From our historical point of view, numbers get muddled, dates get confused, names and places get forgotten or changed. It’s just the way 2000-year-old stories are. Ancient history is difficult to unravel on a good day. Then you have the problem of people underreporting to hide their guilt or over reporting to make their opponents look worse. It’s like Custer’s Last Stand. The Sioux and Cheyenne accounts of the battle paint a picture of brave 7th Cav soldiers fighting to the last man. Such a tale – one of overcoming a valiant foe – served their own egos and gained them points with the US government. Modern archeology tells a somewhat different story with many of Custer’s men panicking and running for their lives to be killed piecemeal rather than a valiant “last stand” as such. So, some revision is possible from the original stories and is even to be expected. But to imply that it is, by and large, untrue that Romans persecuted Christians would be to do an injustice to the people who did actually suffer and die for their faith. BTW it was a prosecutable offense to not take part in the imperial god cult under some emperors in the Roman Empire, so prosecution vs. persecution is a little hard to sort out sometimes.

• Why Liberals Think Being Educated Means Being Liberal

  April 26, 2013 at 11:59am

  In reply to zjak.

  But, you see, “Common sense is so uncommon that it appears to be a super power.” You apparently have common sense while most of your peers, and virtually all Liberals in general, don’t. So you were able to process your experience from the real world and LEARN the Truth. People with Liberal education but no common sense only become bitter as they wonder why their education doesn’t work in the real world. They see the real world as the problem because it doesn’t correlate with what they KNOW to be true.

• Knife-Wielding Pakistani Bus Driver Attempts to Rape Female U.S. Navy Sailor — Ends Up Getting Beat Up and Locked in a Stranglehold Instead

  In reply to rpp.

  That is pretty much the case from what I’ve heard. Muslims believe that a man is powerless when confronted by a beautiful woman. They believe that he will turn his back on his country, his family or his religion for a woman. Therefore Muslim men must be protected from women at all times, and women must be kept in their place to maintain order.

  I’ve also read, but can’t say for sure since I don’t speak Arabic, that the Arabic word for “public disturbance” and “beautiful woman” are the same.

• Ann Coulter on Bombing Suspect’s Wife: ‘She Ought to Be in Prison for Wearing a Hijab’ and…

  In reply to The Third Archon.

  Not so. Popular culture, the president and the media are trying to coerce and shame all Americans into keeping our mouths shut about the prophet and the Quran. Ever hear of Islamophobia (Islamaphobia, however you want to spell it)? Where did that term come from? Our president said in the UN that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Where did that come from? They slander Jesus and Christians everyday. Just the other day a man was told he couldn’t go to his daughter’s swim practice because Muslim women objected to his presence. FL had a huge row over whether they could force a Muslim woman to remove her burka for her drivers license photo, American school kids are memorizing verses from the Quran and planning a jihad in CA, in TX their dressing our girls up in hijabs and burkas for class projects, when they made the movie “2012,” the American movie makers showed several Western landmarks and Christian sites being destroyed but not a single Muslim site (wonder why?), etc. It goes on and on. These are just little things, but they begin to add up. They are chipping away at our Freedom of Speech. They will not tolerate dissent. We must be silenced. Our Liberals are allying themselves with the Muslims because they both hate the US, Christianity and Western Civilization. Of course once those are defeated, the Muslims will wipe out the Liberals.
