I guess it would be considered to be similar to a failed execution attempt.
That’s exactly right. The “TRUTH” is now officially considered “disgusting”, “manipulative” and “hateful”.
Such as, honor killings?
Adoption agencies will be overwhelmed with the desire to adopt personalties from the media.
What happened to waggleby?
shoved into a plastic bag, and tossed on the roof of the abortion building to die in July, 2006.
***My heart breaks over this. It’s so despicable that it’s hard to believe. I wonder how many pro-choice voters simply refuse to believe this kind of thing could happen. I will pray that God shows His sovereignty over this.

So did Jonah find himself in the same place. I'm so thankful we serve (if we choose to) a merciful God. Here is the account of Jonah's frustration with God from "The Message," by Eugene Peterson:
Jonah was furious. He lost his temper. He yelled at God, "God! I knew it—when I was back home, I knew this was going to happen! That's why I ran off to Tarshish! I knew you were sheer grace and mercy, not easily angered, rich in love, and ready at the drop of a hat to turn your plans of punishment into a program of forgiveness!
"So, God, if you won't kill them, kill me! I'm better off dead!"
God said, "What do you have to be angry about?"
But Jonah just left. He went out of the city to the east and sat down in a sulk. He put together a makeshift shelter of leafy branches and sat there in the shade to see what would happen to the city.
God arranged for a broad-leafed tree to spring up. It grew over Jonah to cool him off and get him out of his angry sulk. Jonah was pleased and enjoyed the shade. Life was looking up.
But then God sent a worm. By dawn of the next day, the worm had bored into the shade tree and it withered away. The sun came up and God sent a hot, blistering wind from the east. The sun beat down on Jonah's head and he started to faint. He prayed to die: "I'm better off dead!"
Then God said to Jonah, "What right do you have to get angry about this shade tree?"
Jonah said, "Plenty of right. It's made me angry enough to die!"
God said, "What's this? How is it that you can change your feelings from pleasure to anger overnight about a mere shade tree that you did nothing to get? You neither planted nor watered it. It grew up one night and died the next night. So, why can't I likewise change what I feel about Nineveh from anger to pleasure, this big city of more than 120,000 childlike people who don't yet know right from wrong, to say nothing of all the innocent animals?"
There's a woman in my office, a liberal woman, who said, the morning after the election, that Nostradamus predicted something to the effect that the man everyone believed was the devil actually was not; it is the man who follows him.
Everyone thinks George W. Bush is evil, but it is truly Obama.
I wish I had the citation.
2 John 9-11
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
KJV
The way I read the article, and based upon, "by their fruits, ye shall know them", these do not "bear this doctrine", so it must be obedience, and not a sin, to not want His mercy to fall upon them, rather than His wrath.
I do not intend to partake of their evil by wishing them well, or asking mercy for them.
Even though my mother is not a nurse....she is of the same mindset on pro-life issues. Even though my mother voted for McCain, she still doesn’t see any danger in Obama. She is clueless and like my dad and brother, most likely will never pop the head out of the sand in time to fight for anything.
I have yet to meet an Obama supporter who knows anything about this man - his voting record, the background of his key supporters and power brokers, his public statements made directly to his special interest groups. They know nothing, and when you attempt to articulate any such facts, they are simply dismissed as “taken out of context”. Even my fellow Catholic associates who voted for Obama remain in complete denial, even after watching his videotaped appearance in front of Planned Parenthood where he promises to “play offense” and vow to sign into law the “Freedom of Choice Act”.
People who live in banana republics are more astute, more educated about the background of those who they vote for.
Yes, it has already happened in other countries. Soon it will come to America in full force.
And if you recall after Terri Schiavo there were several cases of people waking up from a so-called “persistent vegetative state” where there was no expectation of recovery.

I would have to make a correction to this statement, and one I do not make lightly. I have yet to see anything whatever to assure me that Barak Hussein Obama even *has* what could be called "a moral compass", in even the most loosest of senses...

More interesting food for thought, and things to watch for (in my current "watch and wait" mode). Now, if there's truth to this, we may be spared temporarily, for it is *ALSO* prophesied about "the man of sin", that he will be "denied a crown", BEFORE he comes to world power. Now, the question begs, "what 'crown' is referenced here?" Possibly the Presidency? And *after* he believed he had already secured it (ie, gotten elected?)
I had, originally when this question first popped up, dismissed the possibility that Obama himself could be "the man of sin", but pointed out that it was readily apparent that the machinery for the rise of such was certainly in good working order. I may well have miscalculated. As more evidence comes to light, it truly appears that I may have, indeed, miscalculated.
What does this mean? In the larger sense of what I'm doing, very little, no need to shift priorities, and continue watching, waiting, and attempting to discern...
