Violent bigot speaks in Obama’s name

Warning: Foul language and anti-Christian hatred

Dan Savage: Obama’s Bully-In-Chief [2:44]

Nov 3 Pray for Our Nation

There is an old poem called Invictus that says “I am the captain of my unconquerable soul.” In meditating on that idea, I saw an image of a carrier battle group like this one, the USS Abraham Lincoln battle group (2000).

Each ship in the group (including the ones more properly called boats, the ones “that go underwater”) has its own captain, but the group also has a captain that directs the overall mission, sets the course for the group and for each member of the group.

It’s so easy to see how the Church Militant can only function effectively if the ship (and boat) captains (each of us) listen carefully to, trust and follow the directions of the group captain (God).

If even one captain in the group in the photo decided to change course, at best, he’d veer off and be useless to the mission and , at worst, he’d crash into someone else and ruin the mission.

Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your laws, and I will obey them at all times.

Explain your law to me and I will obey it; I will keep it with all my heart.

Give me the desire to obey your laws rather than to get rich.

Keep me obedient to your commandments, because in them I find happiness.

(From Psalm 119 loosely)

“Faith seeks understanding”: it is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith, and to understand better what He has revealed; a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith, increasingly set afire by love. The grace of faith opens “the eyes of your hearts” to a lively understanding of the contents of Revelation: that is, of the totality of God’s plan and the mysteries of faith, of their connection with each other and with Christ, the center of the revealed mystery. “The same Holy Spirit constantly perfects faith by his gifts, so that Revelation may be more and more profoundly understood.” In the words of St. Augustine, “I believe, in order to understand; and I understand, the better to believe.” Catholic Catechism, paragraph 158

Bill Whittle speaks for me

I agree with EVERYTHING he says here. If you know a principled Conservative, someone who is planning to vote third party or not vote at all because Romney isn’t Conservative enough, please … try to get them to watch this. It’s really good.

H/t Pistol Pete’s Grudge Report @

Awwwwwwwwwwww!

Mama Buzz reports that Bunny got a baby doll for her birthday and she loves it. So she got Dolly out, the baby doll that my mom had bought for her almost 30 years ago when I got pregnant with her sister. While she was doing some dishes, Buzz came into kitchen carrying Dolly and walked around a bit just holding her nicely, then he left and later came back without her. So Mama looked around the corner and saw he had laid Dolly down gently on the floor in front of Bunny. :o))) I’m a little puddly right now, what with Bunny looking SO much like her Mama did and her sister now carrying her first! ::sniff::

Newspaper endorsements

The Las Vegas Review Journal published a scathing anti-endorsement of Obama titled

“Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief”

http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/benghazi-blunder-obama-unworthy-commander-in-chief-176736441.html

Among other things, Nevada’s largest newspaper said,

“To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation’s economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie Dr. Strangelove, would be disastrous.”

That image reminds me of the scene in Armageddon when Steve Buscemi’s character totally loses it and climbs on the nuclear bomb. The rest of the team does the only sensible thing … they haul his crazy ass into the space shuttle and securely duct tape him to a seat.

As a metaphor for what I think should happen to Obama … it works for me!
