bits, pieces and pearls from this past Sunday's show---
"...if ever, oh, ever a wiz there was, he or she has yet to reveal his or herself..."
First Democratic debate come and gone...
And
from ten seconds after it ended, you couldn’t swing a dead cat and not hit an
"expert" on who said what, what they meant and how voters feel out
that and them.
Actually,
these days, thanks to PETA and the SPCA and the ACLU and E-I-E-I-O, you can't
even swing a dead cat.
I
claim no expertise.
I
do, though, have a little experience with this kind of thing
So,
allow me to sum up the status of the presidential campaign, current as of the
writing of this piece, some five days after the end of Dem Debate I.
Those
who believed their candidate is the answer to every prayer they can pray…..
still believes their candidate is the answer to every prayer they can pray.
Those
who believe that all the other candidates are the anti-Christ and/or Muslims
and/or both…. still believe that all the other candidates are the anti-Christ
and/or Muslims and/or both
Those
who haven't yet made up their mind were most likely watching
"N.C.I.S." Tuesday night and waiting until, say, March of next year
when the herd has thinned sufficiently to see the "actual" candidates
as opposed to the Osmond family meets the Von Trapp family crowd of contenders
currently taking part in the process and sucking the oxygen and air time out of
the room.

Delaware is getting serious about pedestrian safety....
Governor Markell is announcing an executive order to increase pedestrian safety and walkability in The First State.
The action comes as the rate of pedestrian accidents and fatalities remains high so far in 2015.
Also, the Governor's office says the effort to examine pedestrian "infrastructure" - pathways, crosswalks and sidewalks - fits in with initiatives to make Delaware a more walkable and bikeable state.
The Advisory Council on Walkability and Pedestrian Awareness will include representatives from state agencies, local governments, citizens organizations and the non-profit sector.
OH YAY! another committee to spend tax dollars to study and consider and discuss and come up with the following no brainer conclusion….
COMMON SENSE ALERT…
we are a personal motor vehicle driven ,personal motor vehicle obsessed culture and solutions
to the rising injury and death rates of pedestrians and bikers and these
programs designed to solve the problem, whatever good intentions they include, rely
heavily on ONE thing in very very short supply these
days….common courtesy….and that includes paying attention while driving (texting, zipping in and
out, etc)MEANWHILE, ANOTHER THOUGHT ABOUT IT…Bike paths that require even the most COURTEOUS and SKILLED drivers to cross over in order to make a turn or get to or through an intersection is one of the top ten all time DUMBEST ideas…we ain’t Europe, baby….we are MURRica….and in MURRica , SHARE the road means spray painting it with the words I Got You Babe….
"..you are free to live your life as you see it...now...let us tell you how you should see it..."

an ARTICLE BY BRYAN FISCHER on the American Family Association
website
If you have ever wondered whether President Obama has an abiding
hostility to people of Christian faith, wonder no more. He believes we are a
threat to national security. If you are a sincerely devoted follower of Jesus
Christ, your president believes you are a potential domestic terrorist
I do not exaggerate. In a gathering at George Washington University this week, Obama’s assistant attorney general for national
security, John Carlin, revealed that the Department of Justice is creating a
brand new position just to monitor us. The position, domestic terrorism
counsel, will be created to combat the “real and present threat” of domestic
terrorism.
The real threat to our national security, according to our
president and his minions, is coming from the Family Research Council and the
American Family Association.
The plain truth is that we at FRC and AFA don’t hate a living
soul. We love homosexuals enough to tell them the truth about the physical
and spiritual dangers of the homosexual lifestyle. We want something better
for them than the darkness and disease associated with homosexual behavior.
We want them to come out of that darkness into the light of the gospel of
Christ. We are for the homosexual, and so we must be against the
normalization and promotion of homosexuality.
SEP comments--------I have, and I’m willing
to bet you money I aint got, that YOU have friends, acquaintances, co workers,
even FAMILY members who are gay and lead happy, productive, physically and
spiritually healthy lives….
I’m also willing to
double down and bet you have heterosexual
friends, family etc in the grip of darkness, disease, desperation, etc, etc
darkness and disease aren’t
just something you get in the premium tier of being gay….they are an equal
opportunity human afflication…and NO ONE and NO GROUP has an automatic or
guaranteed immunity…
“…Do we disagree with the homosexual lobby about homosexuality?
Of course. Do we hate them? Absolutely not. Do we advocate violence against
them? Never have, never will. We are simply determined to tell the moral,
spiritual, and physical truth about non-normative sexual behavior. …” WHOOPS THERE IT IS….the TRUTH about flawed
human beings as seen by OTHER flawed human beings…
I always find myself
automatically and instantly asking this question when I hear the TRUTH being
told to me by a fellow flawed human being…..who died and made you the first and
last word on what Jesus wants? Oh, wait, that’s right….it was Jesus who died
and I get that you think
you’re doing me some kind of favor by pointing out the error of my way, but let
me offer you this….
your Bible and the ability
to read it DOESN’T MAKE YOU an expert and it doesn’t AUTHORIZE you to come at
me as if I were a two year old who needs to have explained to me the dangers of
crossing the street without looking both ways…
share with me…don’t lecture
me….invite me to consider…don’t preach that I must surrender…because I promise
if you try to make up my mind for me, you’re going to fail at your quest to recruit
me…and God or Jesus aren’t going to be pleased that you’re not making your
quota…..and its NOT because I figure I’m going to get a better deal with the
devil….it’s because I’m going to talk benefits and responsibilities and hopes
and dreams and sacrifices and loving one another with God myself….and eliminate
the middle man….in this case, the middle man being YOU
I’m willing to bet the
farm that you are one of those folks totally outraged by the Supreme Court “interpreting”
the law for us…..but you don’t have any problem at all expecting me to accept
you doing exactly the same thing for me…
if I feel moved or
motivated or inspired to share an amazing book with you, I’m going to
recommend, yes, even sometimes passionately, recommend that you open the book
and read it….the difference between you and me? I’m not going to insist you
read it, try to instill in you a fear of what will happen if you DON’T read it
and then, after you actually read it, tell you what you just read really MEANS….
who died and made you
the first and last word on what Jesus wants? Oh, wait, that’s right….it was
Jesus who died
meanwhile, I’m not
accepting ANYTHING as GOSPEL from you because I know who you are….a flawed
human being…just like me
