Received an email from Fausta that Ed Morrissey, our good friend (and Blogfather) from Hot Air has had to rush his dear First Mate to the Emergency Room, apparently due to complications with the flu. Regular Hot Air readers know that Marcia Morrissey has fought a manful battle for her health -one that has included multiple kidney transplants- so clearly, the flu is a real danger to her. Please keep Ed and Marcia in you prayers.
Politics and political debate are one thing, real life is another. I have not always agreed with Ed Morrissey and have from time to time busted his chops, when I thought he was being unfair; I can say without hesitation that I have always thought Ed Morrissey to be one of the saner and honorable voices on the right. My most heartfelt prayers go out to Ed, his wife, his Daughter and extended families tonight.
Keep the faith Ed, this too shall pass. God Bless you my friend and I will be praying here in Detroit.
Looks like Mike Huckabee’s Presidential aspirations are over.
Gabriel at Ace of Spades HQ Picks it up:
I’m sure a thousand people are digging up old news reports on Huckabee and Clemmons. And there will be a hundred stories in all the media tomorrow on Huckabs future in politics. Here’s the summary:
(1) Huckabee pardoned Clemmons because they had a mutual acquaintance, he labored at the governor's mansion under a prisoner work program, or a minister intervened on his behalf. No, I don’t actually know why he did it and Huckabee was notorious for refusing to give reasons for his pardons. These characteristics are what many of Huckabee’s pardons had in common.
(2) The possibility that Huckabee will run for president in 2012 has moved from “less than likely” (see sidebar) to “not a chance in hell.” Which, is just the way I like it. He always was just a Democrat with a Bible. His shameful campaign in Iowa ultimately gave us McCain last year. We no longer have to worry what Certain Fuckin’ Doomabee will bring us next time.
Oh Yeah, this is huge. If this dude got off free; because of Chucklebee. He will never see the White House, ever. I have to agree with this assessment. Everything that I have seen about Huckabee says that he was and still is a RHINO. Speaking of which, did anyone watch Huckabee’s show today? Did you happen to see the segment about the music that the soldiers listen to in Iraq and Afghanistan? Talk about some hardcore uncomfortable moments! Especially considering that Mr. Huckabee is supposedly a Christian and a Baptist.

The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.
Yeah, Sure Mike pass the buck. You are done you fool, now get rid of the show and stage act and go back to being a private citizen. What an idiot, fail to take any responsibility for his actions. I would never vote for that man, ever. Lost any and all respect that I ever had for him. 😡 Which, quite frankly, was not much at all. Mike Huckabee is a fraud, a phony, plays this self-righteous Christian game; all the while having secular music on his show. So typical of the compromising Southern Baptists, of whom 90% are not even really Born-Again at all.
An unidentified military veteran was involved in a tense confrontation with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the group Code Pink at a rally at Travis Air Force Base on Saturday, November 28, 2009.CBSA Saturday rally led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan at Travis Air Force Base nearly ended in a brawl when a military veteran physically confronted the protesters.
Anti-war group Code Pink demonstrated at the military base Saturday morning in the first of six planned protests against unmanned military drones currently in use in overseas war zones.
Sheehan, a well-known anti-war activist whose son was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004, was leading the demonstration with a megaphone when a man dressed in a formal military uniform stepped up to her and berated her.
Videotape of the incident shows that Sheehan yelled “Get out of my face” through the megaphone at the man, who slapped the device away. Other protesters immediately joined Sheehan and traded insults with the man, and a shoving match broke out.
Military police quickly pulled the two sides apart.
What a disgrace to America!
But, that’s Obama’s America….. 🙄
Home of the sheep and the slaves!
Remember this come 2010 and 2012. We must take our Government back from this America-Hating fascists!

NEW PRESIDENT OF EUROPE SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE A STEP TOWARD GLOBAL GOVERNANCE (Friday Church News Notes, November 27, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – Speaking at a press conference following his election as the first president of the European Union, Herman Van Rompuy called 2009 “the first year of global governance.” He said this was true for two reasons, first, because of the establishment of the G20 due to the financial crisis, second, because of the climate conference in Copenhagen. He called the latter “another step toward global management of our planet” (“EU Presidency,” BBC News, Nov. 21, 2009). Rompuy is currently the Prime Minister of Belgium, but he will step down to assume the new position on January 1. The mythical “man-made global warming” crisis is one of the largest international power grabs in recent history, and it is another step toward the one-world government prophesied in Scripture. At the same time, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is restraining the “mystery of iniquity” until God’s plan for the church age is complete. The Devil is not in control. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-8).
TEMPLE INSTITUTE LOOKING FOR THE MESSIAH (Friday Church News Notes, November 27, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has spent $27 million preparing for the coming of the Messiah. They have manufactured utensils including silver trumpets, golden candlesticks, harps, and garments for the High Priest woven from golden thread. When asked when the Messiah will come, Temple Institute director Yehuda Glick replies, “All that we know is that we are now living in the age of miracles and all of those miracles are predicted in the Book as happening on the eve of the end of days. It could well be tomorrow, but it might be another 100 years, or even 400 years” (“Jews Raise Millions to Be Ready for Coming of the Messiah,” Sydney Morning Herald, Nov. 14, 2009). The Institute has engaged two architects to design the Third Temple, “a modern building, with car parks and elevators, but which will look like the Second Temple.” Many “evangelicals” have contributed to the Temple Institute, but it is a donation to the cause of the Antichrist more than to the cause of Christ. It is the Antichrist that will use the temple built by Christ-rejecting Jews. The modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of the first half of the prophecy of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37. They have returned to the land, but there is “no breath in them” (Ezek. 37:8). They are still in rebellion to God’s Law. During the Great Tribulation, the Jews will be deceived by the Antichrist’s promise of peace and will make a covenant with him. The temple will be rebuilt, but it will become the Antichrist’s sanctuary when he presents himself as God (Dan. 9:27; Mat. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:3-4).
TELEVISION CONTINUES ITS DESCENT INTO THE MORAL SEWER (Friday Church News Notes, November 27, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – Since its inception, commercial cinema and television has pushed the moral envelope, and there is no end in sight. Man’s heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” and “the eyes of man are never satisfied” (Jer. 17:9; Prov. 27:20). The New York Times recently reported that profanity has increased 100 fold in prime time television in just four years. “Ever since George Carlin laid out the ‘Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television’ in 1972, television writers and broadcasters have been digging more deeply into the thesaurus, seizing on new ways to titillate, if not offend. … As a result, words that previously were rarely heard on television suddenly turn up everywhere, while once unspeakable slurs become passé from overuse. … It is not simply that the language is becoming more raw on broadcast networks but that the language, violence and sex that formerly was restricted to the 10 p.m. hour has migrated to earlier time slots” (“More Than Ever, You Can Say That on Television,” New York Times, Nov. 13, 2009). You would think that this testimony alone would be sufficient to warn Christian parents to toss the television, but too many are like the frog that stayed in the slowly-heating pot until it was too late to jump.
JESUS SEMINAR LOOKING FOR THE NEW AGE (Friday Church News Notes, November 27, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The following is excerpted from the Australian Independent Baptist Newsletter, <bennettdubbo@aapt.net.au>: “Most readers of this newsletter already are aware that the Jesus Seminar is apostate but it is sometimes informative to see what they are doing to further promote apostasy. The latest book by Lloyd Geering is one of those which encourages the furtherance of this departure from ‘the faith which was once delivered unto the saints’ (Jude 1:3). The endorsement of Geering’s book on the Jesus Seminar website says, ‘The mainline churches in the Western world are declining … because they are all out of step with the modern secular world. … the churches reveal a lack of faith by insisting on an infallible Bible and a set of unchangeable doctrines tailored to an obsolete worldview” (jesusseminar.org, November 6, 2009). In Coming Back to Earth, Geering ‘calls upon us to complete the work of the Second Axial Age.’ This refers to a New Age that will allegedly achieve ‘a global consciousness.’ The Second Axial [Pivotal] Age ‘is about understanding ourselves as part of an interrelated whole, with a global network … and a growing awareness that God is present in us, in others, the earth, and in life itself. This second Axial Age is a bringing together of the east and the west’ (http://www.christ-community.net/sermons/sermon03_04_07.htm). Brethren, apostasy and unbelief is widespread and it seems the world is rushing recklessly toward its demise, so ‘… abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming’ (1 John 2:28).” Continue reading “News from a Fundamentalist Christian Viewpoint”→
First off, as I wrote here in this posting; I would like to wish ALL of my readers, Friend or Foe, a very Happy Thanksgiving!
First though, let’s see what others are thankful for this Thanksgiving: (H/T to R.S. McCain)
This is what I am thankful for this wonderful Thanksgiving. For starters, I am extremely thankful for my family, specifically my Mother and my Father. My parents have been the best example of Christian parents that a son could ever ask for. My parents could, and sometimes I often think that they should have, thrown my sorry butt to the wolves long ago. However, they are just those kinds of parents who like to see their son succeed that whatever he is doing. I am thankful for my mother who, while I was living a rebellious lifestyle and doing the things that a Christian young man is not supposed to do, like drinking heavily and smoking pot — and other such stuff that I do not dare print here — did not give up on me and prayed for me continually. I am quite happy to report; that her prayers finally made to Heaven and I got my sorry butt straightened out in 1996 and rededicated my life to Jesus Christ.
Which brings me to my second thing that I am extremely grateful for; I am ever so very humbly grateful for the Saving Grace, which only comes from trusting Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord. (Yes, I still spell it as Saviour.) I am very thankful for the day, when I, as a nine-year-old boy, heard about the coming tribulation; decided that I did not want to be a part of that, and I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and Lord. My name was placed in the Lambs book of Life and is recorded in Heaven for all eternity and no man here on this earth, can steal that away from me. I will be the very first to admit it, that I do not always act like a Christian and I have been known to say and do things that are not becoming of a Born-Again Christian man. However, it is not about what I do on this earth, it is about what Jesus Christ did on that cross 2000 years ago, that matters. As everyone who is truly saved knows, we Christians are not perfect —- Just forgiven.
Thirdly, I am extremely grateful for the fact that I live in a free Republic, where someone like me, can pursue a dream of being one’s own boss. Where someone like me, can write and express one’s feelings about the politics of the day, without the fear of being tossed in jail for it. Where someone like me, a high school dropout, can own a laptop, write on a blog and be able to make money doing it; that my friends is capitalism at it’s finest, and I am extremely grateful that I have that freedom do so.
Fourthly, I am extremely grateful for my readers here at politicalbyline.com. I am also humbled and extremely thanks for those of you, who have donated to this little endeavor of mine. I do not ever sit and harp on my lack of donations; if I happen to get one, I thank the person that does give. However, unlike some bloggers, I do not beg for money. I vowed that I would never act like a Democrat and beg for donations. If the Lord happened to impress on someone to give, then fine, I would not refuse it. However, begging is just something I will not, and cannot do. I am also thankful for people, like Robert Stacy McCain for allowing me to advertise over on his blog, that sir was a Godsend, and I will be possibly again here in the no-so-distant future. Just as well, I am thankful for AllahPundit and Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com for allowing me the privilege to link to their blog without any hassle; even though, at times, I do not agree with Ed, I still consider him a friend. AP and Ed both knew my blogging history and my political history, but still, they chose to accept me and take my word for it, that my political views had changed; which is more than I can say for a few other people.
Finally, I am thankful for the fact that we can celebrate Holidays like thanksgiving, that the left has totally distorted and obscured the meaning of; here is a nice little tract, by a Christian cartoonist that I happen to admire. Please, read it and enjoy:
As for me, I am going to take the reminder of this day off, get away from this laptop, watch a little TV and about 6:00 or so, I am going to put the turkey in the oven and heat up the trimmings. Again, my friends, I want to wish you all a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday Season and I will see you all tomorrow, same time, same station and we’ll get back to fighting socialism tomorrow, but for now, lets all stop, pause and enjoy a great Christian Holiday.
Update: I showed this to my Mom. She very kindly informed me of some things, that I feel I should point out. Not that I have to, but, because I respect her greatly; I will do so:
I never drank or smoked any pot or anything else in her house.
I never came home “falling down” drunk. (Her words, not mine) Although, I did come home slightly “lit” one night and she royally chewed me out for it. She yelled and I yelled back, I think… That only happened once and I doubt she even remembers it. I barely remember that myself. (Must have been a good night! 😀 )
My Mother wishes to inform you all, that I was not nearly as bad as some that she’s heard about. (You wouldn’t think she’s biased much, do you? 🙄 😉 😀 😛 )

LEE STROBEL’S DANGEROUS ASSOCIATIONS (Friday Church News Notes, November 20, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – Lee Strobel, the influential author of several widely-used apologetics books including The Case for Christ, is an “evangelical” whose associations with rank heretics sounds loud warnings. In January 2010 he is scheduled to speak at the Break Forth conference in Canada with William Paul Young, author of The Shack, and Leonard Sweet, a New Age contemplative. Lighthouse Trails observes, “[Though many have admired Strobel’s work in the past], it is really no surprise that he is attending Break Forth. With his sponsorship of his son’s very contemplative/emerging ministry Metamorpha, multiple appearances at Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral over the years, and his ongoing connections with Saddleback and Willow Creek, discernment is not something that Strobel appears to give much attention to” (“Why Are Joel Rosenberg and Frank Peretti Appearing with New Age/New Spirituality Sympathizers,” Lighthouse Trails, Nov. 9, 2009). Strobel’s fellow speaker Paul Young depicts God as a woman and claims that He/She does not judge sin or send anyone to hell. Leonard Sweet promotes a New Age universalist spirituality that he calls New Light and “the Christ consciousness.” He describes it in terms of “the union of the human with the divine” which is the “center feature of all the world’s religions” (Quantum Spirituality, p. 235). He says it was experienced by Mohammed, Moses, and Krishna. He promotes Matthew Fox, M. Scott Peck, and Ken Wilber, New Agers who believe in the divinity of man. Sweet says humanity needs to learn the truth of the words of the Buddhist-Catholic priest Thomas Merton, “We are already one” (Quantum Spirituality, p. 13). The Bible warns that it is impossible to join hands with such men in ministry without becoming partaker of their evil deeds (2 John 8-11).
RULES! LAWS! (Friday Church News Notes, November 20, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – When a high school gymnastics team recently lost a title competition because the coach broke the rules, the responses were telling. They ranged, in effect, from “we understand and accept the rule” to “we are special and shouldn’t be bound by such silly rules.” On the weekend of November 7-8, Northwest High School of Shawnee Mission, Kansas, slipped from first place to third after one of the coaches inappropriately questioned a scoring decision, costing the team a one-point penalty. The school’s athletic director, Richard Grinage, admitted that the coach acted contrary to the rules, saying, “It would be similar to a called ball or strike.” The coach in question, though, was unrepentant, saying, “We were the strongest team and had the highest score with 103.9 points, but, because of a ruling that has never been enforced in 30 years; we got a 102.9 and were third place” (“Sometimes It’s Better to Just Keep Your Mouth Shut,” Homeschool.rivals.com, Nov. 11, 2009). Discussing the purpose of the rule, Becky Oakes of the National Federation for State High Associations, said that “to allow a coach to always question an official could really interrupt the flow of events for the athletes and the competition.” That’s reasonable. Games must have rules. Life must have laws. And if laws are broken and there is no penalty, the law is destroyed and anarchy reigns. This is why the holy Creator God punishes infractions of His Law, and it means that we all deserve His just punishment, because we are all sinners. But in His great love He has provided a way of salvation for those who put their trust in the cross-work of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. The unfathomable love of God cannot be understood without a comprehension of His inflexible holiness. The Gospel cannot be understood apart from the Law.
THE NEW IRON CURTAIN (Friday Church News Notes, November 20, 2009, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The following is excerpted from “The Iron Curtain” by Paul Proctor, Nov. 10, 2009, Newswithviews.com, watchman@usa.com — “On this 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, with America deteriorating like an old and obsolete relic of our patriotic past, I’m left to wonder if the event let freedom in or tyranny out. You see, as I write, the wall is being rebuilt–not with concrete, mortar or razor wire–but instead, with satellites, cameras, computers, databases and an array of impressive and oppressive technologies that can monitor, record and analyze the movements, expressions, words and even thoughts of an unsuspecting populace now evermore willing to exchange God-given liberties and freedoms for governmental guarantees of health, safety, security and prosperity. These are the new guard towers that cast long shadows from above that to many are far more intimating than they are comforting. … I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the wall is indeed returning–and this time it extends around the world. When the powers that be are finished with it, there will be nowhere to run and hide. It won’t protect us from the evil without, but will only chain us electronically and spiritually to the wickedness within. It doesn’t matter how many guns are purchased or how much ammo one has stored away. Ultimately, this is a spiritual battle with eternal consequences and God Himself is the only One who can deliver us from what lies ahead. The sooner we fall to our knees, confess our sins, repent and cry out for a salvation that comes only by Jesus Christ, the sooner we will have ‘the peace of God which passeth all understanding’ and the wherewithal to carry on into the future, uncertain as it may be. ‘For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13). That’s real freedom, liberty and security–the kind the Apostle Paul sang about joyously while bound and imprisoned for his faith as told in the 16th chapter of Acts. Without it, there is no hope—not in this life or in the life to come.”
I get this in e-mail every Sunday, I believe it might be of interest to my readers…

Washington Weekly Review
WWR Extra: Senate Moving Forward on Obamacare
On Saturday evening at 8:08 P.M. EST, the United States Senate — by a vote of 60-39 — agreed to proceed with the healthcare bill debate on the Senate floor.
So, as this debate in Congress will now rage on as to whether or not a massive, government-run health care system will be enacted, it is important that pro-family conservatives continue to stay informed.
MESSSAGE FROM ROBERTA COMBS, PRESIDENT, CHRISTIAN COALITION OF AMERICA
The lead item in this week’s “Washington Weekly Review” entitled “Senate Vote Saturday Night to Determine if America Will Turn to Socialism” may seem alarmist to some, but I have no doubt that it sums up the great importance of the vote in the United States Senate on Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Obamacare. If the Senators vote to begin debate on this socialized medicine scheme cooked up during the last few weeks behind closed doors with no transparency whatsoever and with no Republican input whatsoever, then America will begin down the road to socialism as some European countries have chosen to do.
It is imperative that these 6 United States Senators be contacted immediately to urge them to vote NO on the Democrat’s “motion to proceed to debate the Senate’s health care reform bill,” a 2,074 page monstrosity: Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska; Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor from Arkansas; Senator Mary Landrieu from Louisiana; Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana and Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut.
Finally, Christian Coalition of America will score this extremely important vote in CCA’s 2009-2010 Congressional Scorecard. A vote FOR “the motion to proceed to debate the Senate Democrat healthcare bill” will be a negative vote in the CCA congressional scorecard. A vote FOR Senator Orrin Hatch’s pro-life amendment – similar to Democrat Bart Stupak’s amendment which passed 240-194 – will be listed in the CCA congressional scorecard as a positive vote. It is important that you call your Senators now. Time is of the essence.
On Thursday, Christian Coalition of America (CCA) sent out an Action Alert to its supporters all over America and urged them to contact both of their United States Senators regarding the most important vote of their congressional careers. The vote on the Democrats’ socialized medicine scheme, commonly called ObamaCare, will come up for a vote on the Senate floor Saturday night at 8 p.m.
Because the Senate’s ObamaCare bill pushed back implementation of the major provisions until 2014, it is important that you, your family and your friends understand the true cost of 10 years of implementation – a whopping $2.5 trillion.
The question is simply this: Will America leave its roots and give up much of the freedom bestowed on Americans by our Founders by turning to socialism? That is exactly what the United States Senate will be voting on Saturday night at 8 p.m. when the Democrats attempt to begin debate on ObamaCare… (Read More)
To add insult to injury, the prosecutors in the United States Army, have thus far refused to charge the Islamic terrorist with a 14th murder charge in the Ft. Hood massacre by ignoring the death of an unborn baby. This mass murder, by a deranged Muslim terrorist, probably would not have occurred at all, if the leadership of the Army, led by Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey, had gotten rid of this Army Major jihadist in the first place. The U.S. Army — infested with political correctness for the past several decades — had plenty of warnings that the terrorist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was about to explode.
The left-wing news media has been intent on ignoring the death of a 14th victim, besides the 12 soldiers and Army civilian, assassinated by terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan. Indeed, the one word on this week’s cover of “Time” magazine was “terrorist” with a question mark behind “terrorist?” and a picture of the Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan in the background.
The United States Army – which has succumbed to left-wing political correctness for far too long – needs to immediately recognize the death of the 6-week-old unborn child of assassinated Army Private Francheska Velez, a 21-year old native of Barack Hussein Obama’s hometown of Chicago… (Read More)
In a preview of what a stronger European Union government will look like when it comes to religious freedom, Italians were stunned to hear that the European Court of Human Rights ruled that they had been violating the “religious and educational rights” of their children for generations by forcing them to attend school in classrooms with crucifixes hanging on their walls.
The court’s decision came about as a result of a 2002 complaint:
…a Finnish-born mother of two children in the Italian school system objected to the crucifixes in their classrooms. The school principal was unmoved. Italy’s Constitutional Court dismissed her complaint. So she filed a case in Strasbourg, France, and now she’s won.
The Euro court’s ruling hasn’t exactly had the intended effect. In fact, quite the opposite… (Read More)
Just how many jobs has the “stimulus” created? Today’s Wall Street Joural points to an interesting claim by the Obama administration…
“…how many Americans does it take to make nine pairs of work boots? According to the White House’s recovery.gov site, an $890 shoe order for the Army Corps of Engineers, courtesy of the stimulus package, created nine new jobs at Moore’s Shoes & Services in Campbellsville, Kentucky…”
Yep. Super Boots. Able to create multiple jobs in a single laceup.
Guess who’s not arresting illegal aliens… (Read More)
