Monday Amanpour in Israel Open Comments

Well, holy crap. ABC, in all its wisdom, is letting Amanpour do a special on the history of Israel.

In an affront to religious Jews and religious Christians everywhere, ABC News has chosen vehemently anti-Israel and anti-Christian journalist Christiane Amanpour to host a two-part primetime special about the history of the land of Israel that will air December 21 and 28. According to ABC, “Back to the Beginning” will feature Amanpour, who will “explore the powerful stories from Genesis to the Birth of Jesus.” Claiming she will use “the Old Testament as a guidebook,” ABC intones that the show will “peel back the layers of history and faith that has inspired billions.”

I’m not a fan of her work anyway. I don’t understand why she’s so popular. But then, the first time even saw Clinton – before I knew anything about him – the hair on the back of my neck literally stood up. I had a visceral reaction to him, even though my first viewing of the man was him playing a saxophone. You’d think that, as a sax player myself, I’d have a more favorable opinion. But I digress.

To have a woman who has trashed both the Jews of Israel and the Christians of the West – while simultaneously covering for Islamic terrorists – give her perspective on the Holy Land is insulting and offensive. As reported here, Amanpour trashed Christians in a series she created called God’s Warriors:

Why doesn’t ABC go full bore and get someone like, say…the Iranian defense minister to do a show on Israel? Call it the truth, and there will always be someone dumb enough to believe it.

    To use the term “journalist” in association with that talking stack of excrement is a grievous insult to all those who breathe. To further the insult, associating the term truth in the context of The Old Testament with anything emanating from said stack is cause for duct tape.

    #4: I think we can look forward to the full court press on the gun control issue from the DMC. I would be very surprised ifn there is not some sort of EO or DOJ rule change to drastically reduce semi-auto weapons in the hands of private LAW ABIDING citizens within 18 months.

    To paraphrase:
    When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don’t deal drugs.
    When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I’m innocent.
    When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don’t own a gun.
    Now they’ve come for the first amendment, and I can’t say anything at all.

    Dear Mr. Obama- Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

    Yesterday, Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi declared that he would have a referendum on December 15 to greenlight the newly rammed-through draft constitution that enshrines Shariah law in Egypt. Morsi has bought the support of the military via the new constitution, which prevents the military from having any civilian oversight, and allows the military to prosecute civilians.
    Now Muslim Brotherhood protesters have shut down the Egyptian Supreme Court, forcing them to postpone their ruling on the legitimacy of the constitutional assembly that originally ratified the new constitution.
    So much for the Arab Spring. The Muslim Brotherhood has now reached a compromise solution with the army that makes both of them unanswerable within the country.

    I hate to sound aggravated, but why in the world would someone post a headline about something someone in the MSM is doing or saying? I see that Bob Costas in in some trouble for promoting gun control during a football game – what would you expect him to do, since rational discussion of black on black crime is strictly prohibited in the PC community. I mean really, is there someone out there who still watches TV anyway? At least I heard this morning that Univision is the highest rated station in Houston now, but they were trying to attribute this to demographics rather than the fact that no one with a brain cell still capable of responding to light watches TV anymore. Sorry, but this outrage is just more of the same old news.

    And a Tug On Your Heartstrings Moment

    Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray. All the recent arrivals at the Bridge did not know what to think, as they had never seen such a day. But the animals who had been waiting longer for their beloved people to accompany them across the Bridge knew what was happening, and they began to gather at the pathway leading to the Bridge.
    Soon an elderly dog
    came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. He approached slowly, and though he showed no sign of injury or illness, he was in great emotional pain. Unlike the animals gathered along the pathway, he had not been restored to youth and vigor upon arriving at the Bridge. He felt out of place, and wanted only to cross over and find happiness.
    But as he approached the Bridge, his way was barred by an angel, who apologized and explained that the tired and broken-spirited old dog could not cross over.
    Only those animals accompanied by their people were allowed to cross the Bridge.
    Having nobody, and with nowhere else to turn, the dog trudged into the field in front of the Bridge. There he found others like himself, elderly or infirm, sad and discouraged.
    Unlike the other animals waiting to cross the Bridge, these animals were not running or playing. They simply were lying in the grass, staring forlornly at the pathway across the Rainbow Bridge. The old dog took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting, yet not knowing what he was actually waiting for.
    One of the newer dogs at the Bridge asked a cat who had been there longer to explain what was happening.
    The cat replied, “Those poor animals were abandoned, turned away, or left at rescue places, but never found a home on earth. They all passed on with only the love of a rescuer to comfort them. Because they had no people to love them, they have nobody to escort them across the Rainbow Bridge.”
    The dog asked the cat, “So what will happen to those animals?” Before the cat could answer, the clouds began to part and the cold turned to bright sunshine.
    The cat replied, “Watch, and you will see.”
    In the distance was a single person, and as she approached the Bridge the old, infirm and sad animals in the field were bathed in a golden light.
    They were all at once made young and healthy, and stood to see what their fate would be.
    The animals who had previously gathered at the pathway bowed their heads as the person approached.
    At each bowed head, the person offered a scratch or hug. One by one, the now youthful and healthy animals from the field fell into line behind the person.
    Together, they walked across the Rainbow Bridge to a future of happiness and unquestioned love.
    The dog asked the cat, “What just happened?”
    The cat responded, “That was a rescuer. The animals gathered along the pathway bowing in respect were those who had found their forever homes because of rescuers. They will cross over when their people arrive at the Bridge. The arrival here of a rescuer is a great and solemn event, and as a tribute they are permitted to perform one final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort all those poor animals they couldn’t place on earth across the Rainbow Bridge and into Heaven.”
    The dog thought for a moment, then said, “I like rescuers.”
    The cat smiled and replied, “So does heaven, my friend. So does heaven.”

    The battle began at the UN in the early 2000s when homosexual pressure groups began applying for official status with the UN Economic and Social Council, which gives groups permanent badges to the UN grounds and the ability to submit papers and other documents that are distributed via official UN channels. The UN NGO committee used to reject these groups because they refused to condemn pedophile groups such as the North American Man-Boy Love Association and they refused to acknowledge that freedom of religion trumps homosexual rights. Eventually, led by the Obama administration, the Economic and Social Committee began overruling the NGO committee.

    I hate to sound aggravated, but why in the world would someone post a headline about something someone in the MSM is doing or saying?

    1) I worked all day yesterday. Between bookkeeping, cooking, cleaning, etc., and my series of very late nights burning that famed “midnight oil,” I was tahrred and actually went to bed before midnight for a change.
    2) Which only gave me time to fit a few extra nightmares. I don’t normally have nightmares (that I know of), but these were scary enough that just before I was knifed or burned to death, I half woke up and then dropped back to sleep. I don’t remember how many times it happened, but at least twice.
    3) I got up this morning and entered my office, opened the blog, and realized that we didn’t have a Monday thread yet.
    4) I had little time, so I breezed through some news stories and for some reason this one was chosen. It could just as easily have been an article from a crafty/DIY site utilizing repurposed objects.
    5) I threw the post together, and then left to run some business errands.
    So, there, that’s how it happened. Late nights + fatigue + nightmares = Christian Amanpour

    I liked your Rainbow Bridge story. Even though I do not believe there is a heaven or a bridge to heaven, I surely do understand and appreciate the sentiment that makes good people want to be reunited with their pets, some day, some where. And man oh man do I appreciate animal rescuers. I get lots of rescue announcements in Facebook and especally commend the Montgomery County Animal Shelter in Conroe Texas. They do such a great job of showcasing their adoptable dogs and cats on FB, and some weeks they actually adopt out more animals than are brought in and dumped.
    There are smaller groups that specialize in various breeds of dogs, and go the last mile to get vet care for a sick or abused animal, to get it into adoptable condition. There was recently the story of Panzer, a Rottweiler who had been starved and neglected to the point he could no longer walk when a Rottie group rescued him. After they publicized his plight, they got the donations they needed, to get him the vet work he needed. I saw the announcement this weekend that Panzer is walking again!
    And finally there are individuals like our Southern Tragedy, who recently posted her story on FB of spotting a brown puppy lying in the road, run over and left to die. She got him to her vet where it turned out the damages were beyond hopeless and she had the little guy humanely put down.

    Yep, it’s better to let old lips go thin, than to plump them up to the point they’re way too big for your mouth. Goldie Hawn’s lips look awful in one of those pix! Lisa Rinna made that mistake and ruined her gorgeous face. But she has been able to correct it with lip reduction surgery.

    Hi Gang, Man this has been a busy fall, three trips to the deer lease since Nov 2 and the trip to the reunion in Alabama, FWIW; my huntin’ buddy has made 4 trips to the lease. We went this last weekend, with the three of us plus my boy and two of my son-in-law’s life-long friends.It was real HOT and the deer weren’t moving around much and none of saw a deer until Saturday afternoon. We didn’t hear a shot all morning, which is unusual. Antwho the boy kilt the BIGGEST whitetail that we’ve ever taken on the place, a 150 Lb 8 pointer with a 21″ spread, the last biggest one was the 135 Lb 8 point with the 17″ spread that I got in 2005. I came down out of my stand early, around 5 and a little later I heard a single shot and knew that it was either the boy or my huntin’ buddy across the creek. Then my boy calls me and says that he just killed the biggest deer ever taken on Cotton Ford, and I asked him if he was down, and the boy said “I’m standing right over him”, so I took off on foot since he had the 4-wheeler and by the time that I got there he and my huntin’ buddy was dragging him out of the woods, man he was a monster. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen the boy more excited. We took him back to camp and I spent an hour and a half skinning him because we wanted to mount the head and I had to be real careful about getting the skin off. We got some pix’s but they’re so-so because we didn’t have a camera and were using cell phones after dark.
    Iffin’ I had keys to the executive washroom I’d post them,….. 😉

It talks about the difference between dating and courtship, and why it’s good to wait on dating (which means don’t date, you COURT) until you’re ready to marry. Just the discussion we had downstairs.
    Lots of good stuff in that book. More than I could explain in the little time we have between work and his classes.
    And since he asked, I’m not forcing it on him.

    #44 Tedtam, very interesting and so true, I know young guys that go to Bars/Clubs, whatever looking for a mate/bride and my advice is that would be the LAST place I’d look for a lady that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. My boy has a good friend that is kinda’ geeky, lived with his parents until he was 27 and now after getting a degree and becoming very successful, he’s looking for a mate and when/if the girls/ladies find out how well he does, they like him a LOT, otherwise not so much. He’s a good man, raised as a Christian but like a lot of young folks he doesn’t go to church much. I told him that the best place to find a life-long partner is to start going to a church, any church and get into the young adult groups and he’ll do fine.

    Of the animals we kill for food, I think the pig is the one that most understands its situation. I had a coworker from Taiwan who was in the Taiwanese army as a youth. He was stationed in a camp facing China and they mostly just kept an eye out in that direction. The camp was provisioned with pigs that they raised, slaughtered and ate, and he told me that pigs knew when their turn had come; as they were led away from the herd, they cried and squealed and tried to escape.

    Rush skewered Costas thoroughly today as did Hannity later, but Edd Hendee got the first lick in earlier this morning. He was furious over the lack of attention paid to the murder victim in the media hype and the goings on at and before the game in KC, the beyond reason sympathy for the perp who offed himself (had to be someone else’s or football’s fault), and Costa’s preaching that they both would still be alive if there hadn’t been a gun handy. Belcher is reported to have shot Ms. Perkins 7 or 9 times (have heard both). Anybody else think the cultural breakdown that ignores marriage as the norm has anything to do with it, or especially boys raised in fatherless households?
    As I recall, OJ’s weapon of choice was a knife…. So if he didn’t have one handy, would Nicole and the waiter from the restaurant sitll be with us? /spits/

After he killed the buck, I said, Yanno’ I bet your GrandPa had something to do with this, and he said that as soon as he got settled into the stand, he said “well GrandPa, we need to get the big guy today.” 😀
