Christian villagers in Nigeria fled their homes following threats of new attacks in the aftermath of a massacre, despite the presence Tuesday of troops designed to restore calm to the region.
As mass burials for some of the hundreds of victims of a three-hour orgy of violence took place near the city of Jos, survivors nursed wounds in hospitals.
But observers warned that the government must tackle deep-rooted poverty in order to combat the underlying causes of the ethnic tensions which have seen thousands killed in the region in recent years.
While troops patrolled the three villages where members of the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group embarked on their killing spree, residents of neighbouring villages said they had already received new threats. ... Officials said more than 500 people from the mainly Christian Berom ethnic group were hacked to death with machetes, axes and daggers in three villages of Dogo Nahawa, Ratsat and Zot on Sunday morning.
Nothing like a little peace, love, and joy courtesy of the religion of "piece". Reminds me of the story of the Prophet Muhammad's slaughter of the Jewish tribe Banu Qurayza in 627 where some 500 Jewish men and boys were forced to dig a mass grave, then beheaded and thrown into it while their wives and children were taken captive by Muhammad and his soldiers.
Could you imagine Jesus doing such a thing? You see folks, this is what separates Christianity from Islam.
The stark contrast between the actions of Muhammad and the actions of Jesus Christ are shocking, and anyone with half a brain can see who represents the one, true, deity.
The religion of Islam has been violent since its conception, and while Christians have also partaken in violence throughout history, the scale of bloodshed pales in comparison.
Massacres like this are the result of a violent cult fabricated by the devil himself, driven by demon possessed barbarians who have no regard for human life.
These last few days apart from the internet has been torturous! I apologize for my lengthy 4 day absence. Uncle Sam can be blamed for my being gone from Friday through Sunday. And until this morning my internet has been out. Just my luck!
This morning I reconfigured my internet connection and picked up my newly repaired laptop (it's only been 3 months, I mean cmon) so we're good to go. Blogging while comfy, just like the old days! Yes I'm sprawled out on the couch right now, as opposed to those long nights sitting up straight in the computer chair pounding away on the noisy keyboard of the ancient family PC.
From here on out posts should be much more frequent.
Over the course of the last 4 days there were some things I'd wanted to write about so I'll just recap all of them here in one long post.
1) The Hurt Locker sticking it to Avatar at the Oscars
When I got home Sunday night I attempted to watch the Oscars, just because I was curious to see who would win best picture. Upon tuning in to ABC at 7pm and seeing all the Hollywood crowd showing up to the event, strolling down the red carpet, I couldn't help but turn my head in disgust and change the channel. Just seeing these people in their vain arrogance and "glamour" was enough to make me want to vomit.
Around 10pm, maybe later, I decided to give it another shot and just as I turned on the TV, Kathryn Bigelow, the director of The Hurt Locker, was announced as the winner for Best Director. Take it James Cameron. I was pleasantly surprised when, during her acceptance speech, she recognized the courage and sacrifice of all American troops serving overseas. Say what?! This is Hollywood right?
Immediately following that, Tom Hanks strolled out onto the stage and announced the winner for Best Picture of 2009. It was The Hurt Locker. A visibly shaken Bigelow, holding her Oscars, once again during her acceptance speech for Best Picture, thanked all US troops and firefighters as well for the sacrifice they make. To hear these words come from a Hollywood personality was just shocking to me, and it made me believe there may yet be a few people with their heads screwed on right in Hollywood.
I couldn't have thought of a better outcome for the Oscars. Bigelow, who just happens to be James Cameron's ex wife, put the America hating, tree hugging Cameron in his place with a double wammy of epic proportions. Bravo to Kathryn Bigelow and everyone in the cast and crew of The Hurt Locker.
2) The Celebrity Apprentice
This ties into my disgust for Hollywood. Last Thursday I saw this commercial promoting the new show The Celebrity Apprentice and about vomited...
Oh please. Rod Blagojevich, you are without a doubt one of the slimiest, vilest, scumbags on the face of the earth.
Seriously, does anyone really care about these losers?
Darryl Strawberry? Whore loving coke head. Cyndi Lauper? All I think of is my grade school gym teacher, a bearded old man who played "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" during guys PE every day. To my knowledge he still does it. Sinbad? Bankrupt tax cheat. Bret Michaels? After watching Rock of Love, I have no respect for the man. Maria Kanellis? Playboy/WWE skank. Michael Johnson? Performance enhancing drugs. Rod Blagojevich? Don't even get me started.
This show is a joke. It's nothing but a bunch of deadbeat losers trying to restart their already ruined careers. I think I'd rather watch Lawrence Welk.
3) SNL Obama/Pelosi/Reid skit
On Saturday night I was astonished to see this skit from SNL...
Now this is just unheard of. Has the disapproval for this bill and this president gone mainstream? If SNL of all venues is picking at Obama, the discontent for this current administration must be more vast and far reaching than I thought!
Three teachers at a South Los Angeles elementary school have been suspended for allegedly encouraging students to celebrate O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman and RuPaul during Black History Month, officials said Wednesday.
Children at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School were carrying pictures of the men at a parade Friday on the school playground, said Los Angeles Unified School District spokeswoman Gayle Pollard-Terry.
She said Supt. Ramon C. Cortines learned about the incident Tuesday and had the teachers, who are white, pulled from their classrooms for the duration of an investigation. The suspension is without pay for the first three days.
...
Some community leaders aren't satisfied with the suspensions and are calling for the dismissal of the instructors, who teach first, second and fourth grades.
"I just can't fathom what these teachers were thinking of except to make a mockery of African American history," said Leon Jenkins, president of the Los Angeles branch of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People.
Pollard-Terry said Simpson, Rodman and RuPaul were included on a list of prominent African Americans approved by the school for study during Black History Month.
She said the three teachers were believed to have suggested at least some of those names for the list.
The district dispatched a human relations and ethnic diversity team Wednesday to help the school prepare lessons that are "more appropriate for Black History Month," she added.
Oh, somebody gag me! "Human relations and ethnic diversity team". That's liberal double speak/code for the BS squad.
If the school approved of those "questionable" black figures then they have no right to suspend the teachers for including them in their study! Helloooo? McFly? Anyone in there McFly???
In my opinion, if the black supremacists want to have a designated month to worship their race, then anything is fair game. And if you ask me, Martin Luther King (the plagiarizing, Marxist, womanizer) and Barack Obama (the narcissistic, liar in chief) are no better than OJ, Rodman, and RuPaul.
Black History month is one of the biggest shams out there. Nothing like a little racial exclusiveness and finger pointing towards the white man. The hypocrisy is just stunning.
PMSNBC at its very finest! This here is why no one watches this pathetic network. What ever happened to objective journalism? MSNBC and the countless 'tards that work there are nothing more than Obama's cheap whores. They are no different than the state run media in North Korea, fawning over Obama like they do Kim Jong Il, and attempting to destroy anyone who opposes him. Well I can tell you one thing. They are doing an awful job.
The Left Coast Rebel reported on a story brought to his attention by You Misunderestimate Me. On Nickelodeons website for the Kids Choice Awards there are nominees for "Favorite Couple". We have Edward and Bella from Twilight. Jacob and Bella from Twilight. Neytiri and Jake from Avatar. And finally...Barack and Michelle Obama? Something's not right here...
The Conservative Mama posted the video of King Barack proclaiming he wouldn't pass healthcare with a 50+1 vote. How perfectly Obama-esque.
Feed your ADHD posted a very intriguing Gallup poll graph correlating smokers and income. He also has some pretty harsh words for Obama...
My dad passed this along to me yesterday and I thought some of you might like it.
THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
Two Different Versions. Two Different Morals.
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Ant Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in,which as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood. The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
Questions were raised when a white sorority from the University of Arkansas won a share of the title in a national stepping competition, something typically associated with historically black universities and colleges.
...
Law student Fern Carty said “If it's open to all people, whoever goes in and wins the title deserves it. I'm really proud of this university to be the first one to take this step.”
But some have said the Zeta's victory at the national competition was a slap in the face to black sororities nationwide that pioneered the activity of stepping.
In fact, Coca Cola, which put on the contest, went back and said there was a scoring error during the competition. They made the sorority share the title with a second team.
Coca-cola said Thursday the Alpha Kappa Alpha team from Indiana University, whose members are black, would share first place and would also receive the same $100,000 dollars in scholarships that the Zeta Tau Alphas won.
White team wins. Blacks mess themselves, need diaper change. Black team allowed a share of 1st place. Anyone else see the absolute idiocy here? "Scoring error" my butt.
This is yet another example of where true intolerance lies. I'll give you a hint. It's not on the white right.
Here's the video of the Zeta Tau Alpha team being announced as the winner, and receiving a chorus of boos from the African American crowd.
(the announcement comes at roughly 3 minutes into the video.)
If you think this reaction is solely because of an undeserving performance, try again.
Instead of quoting the article for you, I'll just sum up what happened myself.
A writer questioned the rights of women in Islam because of the tradition of wearing veils
The thoughts were published in a local newspaper
Muslims took to the streets in violent protest
2 people are now dead
These "people" are seriously the most sensitive, childish, cowards I have ever seen. Of every demographic, religion, and ethnicity Muslims are quite possibly the most violent, insecure, and cowardly people out there.
Say one seemingly negative thing about Islam and you have a horde of ticked off Muslims taking to the streets in violent protest. This happens everywhere. Europe, the Middle East, Indonesia. Asia. Minnesota. It doesn't matter where these fanatical creatures are. They are piles of crap who follow a cult created by a murderous pedophile. (piss be upon him)
Asked this weekend to grade her performance as speaker, Nancy Pelosi gave herself an “A for effort.”
What is this, the second grade? A for effort. Looks like she caught Obama's ego bug. I give you an F Pelosi, for hating America and sucking at being Speaker of the House.
Thousands of people in lavish costumes and various states of undress danced and partied their way through Sydney's streets on Saturday, in Australia's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
The parade, one of the world's largest and most flamboyant gay pride events had 9,400 participants and 135 floats and featured the theme, "History of the World" a look at gay history.
Hundreds of thousands of cheering spectators watched the procession, led this year by famed transsexual model Amanda Lepore. Her sparse attire, festooned with precision-cut crystals, left little to the imagination as she perched on an open-top Mercedes.
One reveler dressed as Osama bin Laden led a group of dancing "Binlettes," who sported pink sequins and improvised "mini-burkas," which only covered the head. Osama's right-hand man, who identified himself as "Greenie," said the bearded leader was here to terrorize the intolerant."It's about bringing back the gayness for Osama: Express the flesh!" Greenie said. "He's been in a cave for a long time. Bill Clinton couldn't do it, George Bush couldn't do it, Barack Obama doesn't want to do it ... but he's come out today for the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras here in Sydney."
"Michael Jackson's Thriller Zombie Marching Group" followed a hearse through the streets, which the director and producer of the float, Gareth Ernst, said was a parody of the celebrity death cult.
"Celebrities are like zombies," said Ernst, who was dressed as Joey Stefano, a 1980s porn star. "They die and come back stronger, more powerful and more popular."
Other dancers were decked out in full Lycra bodysuits, red devil halos and peacock feathers."I actually came out on a float," Ernst said. "My parents saw me kissing my boyfriend on television. Ten days later I had a call from my mum, who only said to me, 'We saw you on TV.'"
You know, I could launch into a full blown tirade about how immoral, evil, and just plain disgusting these people are. But in truth, I feel sorry for them. Sorry for their souls. They need the love of God.
A friend of mine took me to a church tonight where a film was showing called Furious Love. It was one of the most powerful pieces of film I've ever seen. I saw the power of God consume some of the most unlikely people...demon possessed people in Tanzania, witches in Salem, a transvestite hooker in Thailand, and even a high ranking Satanist woman who was one of the "promised brides" put forth by the church of Satan...for Satan himself. Seeing such a powerful transformation in these people by the word of God makes me believe that even some of the most evil people, like these homos in Australia, have hope for salvation.
That said, homosexuality is an abomination centered around sexuality, not love. It is a disgusting, unnatural, perversion from the pit of hell itself and the day America recognizes this behavior as worthy of the term "marriage" is the day America has sold itself to the devil.
The religion of Islam has been violent since its conception, and while Christians have also partaken in violence throughout history, the scale of bloodshed pales in comparison.
