Pastor fired…for saying “Jesus”

Posted on by

A preacher in North Carolina was fired for doing the unthinkable. He mentioned “Jesus.” No, he didn’t use the name of the Lord in vain, he invoked Jesus’ name at a moment that you’d never expect it…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:

Baity’s troubles began during the week of May 31. He said a House 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.”

“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 ‘We would prefer that you not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended.’”

When he politely declined to remove the fact that he was praying in Jesus’ name, he was no longer welcome to pray for the elected officials of North Carolina.

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 “Merry Christmas” in your office is the tip of the iceberg. Now, even your prayers have to be censored.

H/T to Jeremy Sarber for this one.

In Jesus’ name:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

Yes, apparently we have one. After all, they even have a conference!

Tattoo Rock Parlour on Toronto’s Queen West is going to be crawling with older women looking for fresh young meat Friday night with one lone woman hoping to be crowned Miss Cougar Canada at the end of the evening.

“We did the first Cougar Convention in Silicon Valley last August and we had a massive crowd and turned away hundreds of people,” said organizer Rich Gosse of Cougarevents.com. “The cougar phenomenon began in Canada, so we’ve always wanted to go to Toronto.”

A “cougar” by its bare bones definition is an older woman who is on the hunt for younger men with no strings attached.

Here are the rules: Anyone 35 and older and legally single can compete for the Miss Cougar Canada Title. Everyone pays their $20 to get into the club and it’s up to the cougars to woo the cubs — the younger men — to vote for them by working the room.

Yes, even the lowest of low on this earth have “rules” at their gatherings. I’m not opposed to relationships with an age difference, to each his own. However, I’m a little skeptical about the notion of paying $20 to go to a club to have 40-somethings flirting with you to get your vote. It’s not an NDP convention…

Teens are stupid

Especially when they’re from Newfoundland.

When Jeremy Dyer was selected to represent his province because of his human rights art, he had no idea he’d find himself in line to shake Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s hand.

The notion was an affront to Dyer, an activist who vehemently disagrees with many of Harper’s policies.

Dyer, 19, who hails from St. John’s, N.L., was at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, where he and 11 other young people from around the country were on hand to display their human rights-themed artwork.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were both in attendance, as the Queen unveiled a cornerstone to the museum.

Then, standing in front of cameras alongside his peers, Dyer heard rumblings the prime minister was en route.

“I didn’t know until literally minutes before,” said the Memorial University student. “I was pretty outraged that he was going to be there… I told them I would politely decline to shake his hand if he attempted.”

After a speech about youth and Canada and human rights, Harper did, indeed, shake the young artists’ hands. But before he could reach Dyer, a museum staff member came up behind Dyer, and asked him to step back, Dyer said.

Refusing to shake Harper’s hand was his way of expressing his disapproval, he said.

“That was the breaking point — when I was suppressed for my beliefs.”

But the Museum said Dyer stepped back voluntarily, just as the Queen was approaching.

“He told us that he didn’t feel comfortable and we respected his decision,” said Angela Cassie, the museum’s director of communications.

Dyer said the event was co-opted and turned into a photo-op for the prime minister and a promotional tool for the museum.

“It was such a degrading experience. I felt so tokenized,” he said. “I feel like they took something so huge away from me that weekend. So huge.”

Cassie, however, said they wanted the students involved to have the best possible experience.

She said they travelled to Winnipeg on the museum’s dime, visited all sorts of art galleries and historical sites, were given $350 digital cameras to record their experiences, and had their art displayed on a big screen during the museum ceremony.

They were given the opportunity to meet many dignitaries, including the Queen, the premier, and yes, the prime minister.

She added that Dyer’s art submission was “powerful” and that “he has a very strong artistic vision and voice.”

Cassie called Dyer herself as soon as she heard he was upset with his experience at the museum to get his perspective.

“It’s about encouraging young people to express themselves,” she said.

Dyer dismissed the suggestion he stepped back because he was overwhelmed.

“That’s just a ridiculous statement,” said Dyer. “Stephen Harper does not overwhelm me.”

So just to clarify, a boy didn’t want to shake Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s hand, so the museum took him out of the line-up that was for people shaking hands with the PM, and then he complained that he wasn’t allowed to decline to shake Harper’s hand? To quote the great Ari Fine, “I see why tigers eat their young.”

Yes, you read that correctly

A German student “mooned” a group of Hell’s Angels and hurled a puppy at them before escaping on a stolen bulldozer, police have said.

Because a German student mooning bikers wasn’t a good enough story, apparently there had to be a projectile puppy and a run-a-way farm vehicle. But, of course, we can rely on police for their insights into the matter:

“What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell’s Angels is currently unclear,” a police spokesman said.

As many of you know, I was scheduled to appear on a panel on The Michael Coren Show yesterday along with author Tarek Fatah and columnist John Turley-Ewart. Regretfully, on my way to the studio, I was in a car accident. I had informed Michael’s production staff what happened, and told them that my car was still drivable, but I would be a few minutes late from the scheduled taping time. Ridiculously heavy traffic delayed me even further, to the point where the taping had, with me being rushed onto the set during a commercial break. I made it onto the second half of the show thankfully, with the fact that I had been in a car accident shared quite openly with the audience. I received from interesting “feedback” on the show, however.

From Sean Eisenporth (seisenporth@gmail.com)

You stupid little jerk!

I am see you tonight on micheal coren show and you are saying racist thing about portugese. MY WIFE IS PORTUGESE!
maybe you have the auto accident tonight because you are much too bussy eating the hotdog and not affording attention to the road!
this is perhaps jesus punish you for been stupid little jerk!

From Sam Khan (sam_khan73@rocketmail.com)

you are a dispicable piece of human filth. i wish that car accident had killed you so you wouldnt be spreading your hate and racism with the world. next time you are going on the michael coren show, drive into a ditch and do the world a favour.

UPDATE:

The “racist thing about portuguese” that Sean mentioned was in response to something I said about the Toronto Police issuing a new language sensitivity project, forbidding the use of “racial identifiers” such as the word ‘Portuguese’ when describing suspects. I said, “It’s not just the police who are doing this. I went into my favorite restaurant last week and ordered the Portuguese chicken and and they threw me out!” Yes, that is the most racist thing the world has ever seen.

Where winners lose and losers win

No I’m not talking about Communist Empire (though there are glaring similarities.) I’m talking about the Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer League in Ottawa, Canada! The thriving soccer league, which has 3,000 registrants ranging from age 4 to 18 has implemented a new rule where if a team wins by 5 goals or more, they automatically lose by default.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the ball around for fear of losing the game.

He said if anything, the league’s new rule will coddle sore losers.

“They should be saying anything is possible. If we can get five goals really fast, well, so can the other team,” said Kevin, 17, who has played in the league for five years. “People grow in adversity, they don’t really get worse…. I think you’ll see more leadership skills being used if a losing team tries to recuperate than if they never got into that situation at all.”

According to Kevin’s father, Bruce:

“Everybody wants a close game, nobody wants blowouts, but we don’t want to go by those farcical rules that they come up with. Heaven forbid when these kids get into the real world. They won’t be prepared to deal with the competition out there.”

Even more amusingly, coaches are encouraged to give their weaker players better positions and to tell their stronger players to kick with their weaker foot to ensure a more “fair” game. Personally, I could have used such accommodations when I was younger to make sure I’d lose by less. However, as Bruce Cappon said, losing is a part of life. And this new form of political correctness where ‘incompetence’ is a protected group of people that needs to be accommodated only further pushes people away from reality.

The organization’s director, Sean Cale is putting up a bit of a hissy fit now, saying “The registration fee, regardless of the sport, does not give a parent the right to insult or belittle the organization, it gives you a uniform, it gives you a team.”

Chicago Mayor threatens to put bayonet up reporter's ass

Literally.

So I asked [Chicago Mayor Richard Daley]: since guns are readily available in Chicago even with a ban in place, do you really think it’s been effective?

[...]

“Oh!” Daley said. “It’s been very effective!”

He grabbed a rifle, held it up, and looked right at me. He was chuckling but there was no smile.

“If I put this up your—ha!—your butt—ha ha!—you’ll find out how effective this is!”

For a moment the room was very, very quiet. I took a good look at the weapon. It had a long bayonet. (Was it seized during the Civil War?)

“If I put a round up your—ha ha!”

It’s nice to see that the musket is bring brought back into style at least.

Maybe you should stick to the lesson plan

Just when you think teachers can’t do anything stupider…

A math teacher at Corner High School in Jefferson County, Ala., decided the best way to teach his students about “parallel lines and angles” would be to have them calculate the best angle to use when firing a gun at President Barack Obama

An Alabama newspaper cited the teacher saying, “If you’re in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president” among other legally murky things in his high school math class. Secret Service investigated it and of course found no issues. I was surprised, rumor has it that this teacher was a member of the al-Gebra sect, and in possession of weapons of math instruction. (Don’t hurt me.)
