			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<div>
<p>From <a href="http://nation.foxnews.com/culture/2010/11/29/school-bans-christmas-colors">Fox News Online</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>A school in Florida has not only banned  Christmas &#8211; but everything associated with the Christian holiday.</p>
<p>Teachers at Heathrow Elementary School have been ordered to banish  images of Santa Claus from classrooms &#8211; along with traditional Christmas  colors like red and green.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[...]</p>
<p>The parent, who serves as a volunteer room mother, said she was  recently given a list of guidelines that listed the holiday  restrictions.</p>
<p>She said the basic theme of the letter was, &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to offend  anyone who doesn&#8217;t believe in Santa Claus or the Christian beliefs.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The school board issued a response saying that they want to celebrate a &#8220;winter theme&#8221; but that red and green, as colors, were not explicitly banned. You&#8217;ll probably hear me say this a couple more times over the next month, but my annual policy still stands: Say &#8216;Merry Christmas&#8217; to everyone you see, even the ones wearing Hijabs and Yarmulkes. In fact, especially those ones. Last year, on Christmas Day, I went through the drive through at the local coffee shop. Greeting me was a young Muslim girl wearing a Santa Clause hat on top of a Hijab. Interestingly, it doesn&#8217;t seem like the grassroots Muslims are the ones who overly care about this Christmas business, it&#8217;s their leadership, and White, Godless liberals (see &#8220;Kwanzaa.&#8221;)</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>But I&#8217;ve never let that <a href="http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2010/10/24/15810071.html">stop me before</a>!</p>
<blockquote><p>A four-month-old baby is dead and 10 other people are injured in the  small town of La Verriere, west of Paris, France after they jumped out  of their apartment&#8217;s third-storey window after believing to have seen  the devil.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thirteen people were in an apartment (watching TV) on the second  floor when, at around 3 a.m., one of the occupants heard his child  crying,&#8221; Odile Faivre, the deputy prosecutor in Versailles told Sky  News. &#8220;<strong>The man in question, of African origin, who was completely naked,  got up to feed his child, at which point the other occupants took him  for the devil.</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The man, 30, was stabbed in the hand and thrown out of the apartment.  When he tried to barge back into the flat, the other occupants began  jumping out of the window.</strong></p>
<p>Police are questioning the man as well as another occupant who jumped  out the window holding a two-year-old girl. The baby died after being  admitted to a children&#8217;s hospital. It is unclear whether the occupants  voluntarily jumped or were forced to.</p></blockquote>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry. You can rest easy:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Sydney Morning Herald also reports that investigators found no  evidence of hallucinogenic substances in the apartment.</p></blockquote>
<p>My initial thought was thought they had a bootleg copy of <em>Paranormal Activity 2</em>, but alas it was just a demonic naked black man. We&#8217;ve all been there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, the ongoing genocide &#8212; abortion &#8212; could have taken the life of a woman who became a <a href="http://www.christian.org.uk/news/susan-boyle-my-mother-was-advised-to-abort-me/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+christianinstitute+%28The+Christian+Institute%29">global treasure last year.</a></p>
<p><em>Britain&#8217;s Got Talent</em> alumni and singing sensation Susan Boyle&#8217;s upcoming book, entitled <em>The Woman I Was Born To Be</em>, features a section on when doctors will telling her mother that Susan would &#8220;never be anything&#8221; and how they suggested Susan be aborted to spare the burden of a child who may not be born in perfect health.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Susan&#8217;s mother Bridget held to her Christian values and opted against it, but the numerous examples of abortions that have been, well, aborted, are far from uncommon. NFL star Tim Tebow was almost aborted, motivational speaker Gianna Jessen only made it into the world because a doctor was stuck in traffic, Andrea Boccelli&#8217;s mother was encouraged to abort because he &#8220;might&#8221; have been disabled. Every abortion is a life prevented and a life taken, simply put. How one can argue that an unborn child is not a child when we&#8217;re able to look at what every one of these children has the ability to become is beyond me.</p>
<p>Kudos to Susan for speaking out about this. Her book will be a great one I imagine!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A preacher in North Carolina was fired for doing the unthinkable. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/09/pastor-yanked-capitol-jesus-prayer/">He mentioned &#8220;Jesus.&#8221; </a>No, he didn&#8217;t use the name of the Lord in vain, he invoked Jesus&#8217; name at a moment that you&#8217;d never expect it&#8230;at the end of a prayer. Pastor Ron Baity was invited to lead prayer for a week at the North Carolina State House of Representatives this summer, but had to have his prayers pre-approved by the bureaucracy:</p>
<blockquote><p>Baity’s troubles began during the week of  May 31. He said a <span style="color: #000000;">House</span> clerk asked to see his prayer. The  invocation including prayers for our military, state lawmakers and a  petition to God asking him to bless North Carolina.”</p>
<p>“When I handed it to the lady, I watched her  eyes and they immediately went right to the bottom of the page and the  word Jesus,” he told FOX News Radio. “She said ‘<strong>We would prefer that you  not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be  offended</strong>.’”</p></blockquote>
<p>When he politely declined to remove the fact that he was praying in Jesus&#8217; name, he was no longer welcome to pray for the elected officials of North Carolina.</p>
<p>Once again, 1st amendment rights apply only to non-Christians and those of no religion at all. Christians are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to equal rights, and they are the top target for the political correctness gestapo that seems to be running both private and public entities now. Not being able to say &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; in your office is the tip of the iceberg. Now, even your prayers have to be censored.</p>
<p><a href="http://jeremysarber.com/2010/07/09/north-carolina-preacher-fired-for-saying-jesus/">H/T to Jeremy Sarber</a> for this one.</p>
<p>In Jesus&#8217; name:<em></em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Our Father, who art in heaven,</em><em><br />
hallowed be thy name;</em><br />
<em>Thy kingdom come;</em><br />
<em>Thy will be done,</em><br />
<em>on earth as it is in heaven.</em></p>
<p><em>Give us this day our daily bread.</em><br />
<em>And forgive us our trespasses,</em><br />
<em>as we forgive those who trespass against us.</em><br />
<em>And lead us not into temptation;</em><br />
<em>but deliver us from evil.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><dl> </dl>
</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a fundraising letter sent by former President Bill Clinton on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Committee to raise funds for the efforts to unseat the junior Louisiana, David Vitter (R-LA,) Clinton resorted to <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/capitol/bills_clinton_calls_la_senator_sinner_luzbCZPUtN35wTj4sTRe9J">calling him a &#8220;sinner</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yes, you heard that correctly. Bill Clinton pointed out that someone else was a sinner.</p>
<p>No, this isn&#8217;t a dream.</p>
<p>Any good Christian will admit to being a sinner, as it is basically the foundation of why someone is a Christian. However, I think Bill Clinton&#8217;s remarks can be easily summed up here:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hi is this the kettle? I&#8217;m the pot. And you&#8217;re black.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Fieldstone Secondary School in Rockland County, New York, <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local&amp;id=7272424">it is</a>.</p>
<p>Ninth-grader Jason Laguna, a former altar-boy, was suspended for daring to show the Rosary that he wears to school on a regular basis, generally under his clothes. He said that he received it as a gift and liked it so much that he wears it under his shirt, presumably to remind him throughout the day of his faith. Sounds reasonable right? Apparently not to his teacher who ordered him to put it away (despite the bell having rung and him being on his way out the door) and to the principal who upheld the teacher&#8217;s ruling.</p>
<p>The reason?</p>
<p>Beads are generally indicative of being in a gang. And moreover, wearing of the Rosary &#8220;endanger[s] the safety, health, morals or welfare of himself or others.&#8221;</p>
<p>Laguna, a straight-A&#8217;s student who is also a member of student government is nevertheless seeking assistance with his mother from the ACLU who has yet to comment. The superintendent put the suspension on hold pending an investigation. It&#8217;s unclear at this time if the school district is investigating whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is, in fact, a gang or something else.</p>
<p>Ugh.</p>
