A new website, ProlifeProObama.com, has just been unveiled by the pro-Obama Matthew 25 Network (click to enlarge)...
Think the site's theses have merit? Think the attempt to persuade pro-lifers to vote for Obama will work?
This is 100% pure Obama. He throws himself headlong into a campaign of deceit whenever his positions of moral depravity are exposed.
Posted by: truthseeker at October 4, 2008 7:35 AMMaybe, if not for the whole IL BAIPA. You can't pretend to be a moderate on abortion and support leaving children to die. It just doesn't work. I think this needs to be our primary attack on these types of sites.
Posted by: Anonymous at October 4, 2008 8:12 AMPray for this man's soul. I would hate to stand before my maker and try to explain this. As someone who was pro choice but examined the evidence and became pro life, I have a hard time accepting those who know better but put self interest ahead of the truth.
this is doublespeak. Obama is interested in Obama. Every action since getting out of college has been self serving. He choose that church to establish himself as an authentic black candidate. Every present vote was because he was looking ahead at this run. Aligning himself with PP and the abortion industry was not out of clear conviction but to align himself for this run.
I used to laugh at the emails pointing out that he may be the anti Christ. Maybe I shouldn't have deleted them.
For those who say that abortion is not an important issue to them but claim to be Christian, I must ask is it important to God?
Sadly, I think this site does not have merit but will help Obama. I think there are people who 'want' to be deceived. They want rationalizations to vote for the candidate they 'feel good' about, and they don't want to spend time reasoning through their own beliefs and values.
Posted by: Brian at October 4, 2008 8:22 AMThe argument is, essentially, that it's OK to be more pro-abortion than NARAL as long as you also support socialism. We shouldn't have to explain why that's completely crazy, but unfortunately, we do.
For one thing, it completely destroys the entire idea that women seek abortion as a matter of "choice". By this reasoning, women only seek abortion because they have no choice, but if you give them money and support, they won't abort. But though pro-lifers are willing and able and actually ARE providing help for both pregnant mothers AND mothers of born children, the pro-aborts demand huge expansions to the federal government, and say that anyone who disagrees with their liberalism is anti-life.
There was a letter to the editor in my local newspaper the other day which stated that you cannot be pro-life unless you support government provided universal health care. Really? This is so much like the pro-aborts on here who have argued in the past that they would vote pro-life, if only pro-lifers were pro-gay marriage. Of course now we see how much BS that is, since we have two presidential candidates who are identical in their opposition to gay marriage and support of all other gay rights aside from marriage (which is the only rational position to have if you ask me), and yet they're still for Obama.
So to actually answer the questions, NO, the theses of the website ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have merit. But they may persuade some undecided Democrats who are marginally pro-life to vote for Obama.

I think it actually is galvanizing Christians against Obama.
Posted by: Milehimama at October 4, 2008 9:08 AMUnbelievable. You've got to be completely blind to the truth and brainwashed with invalid rhetoric to fall for such a web of lies and deceit. What a sick, twisted, underhanded thing to do. I doubt the website will effect any pro-lifer worth his/her grain of salt. Anybody who truly gets the sanctity of life will not be swayed by the devil's attempts, which is precisely what this is. Satan is running wild because his time is short. God help this country if Obama steps foot in the white house.

Posted by: Andy at October 4, 2008 9:17 AMThe Prolife ProObama is especially interesting because Obama's is on record as being for the death penalty, as well. It's not just an abortion issue!
Posted by: Milehimama at October 4, 2008 9:19 AMI wonder if Obama would share this same kind of support from these people if he supported pedophilia. Everything else the same, has all these great plans, he just supports the right to choose if you want to have sex with 5 year olds or not.
Can you be pro-child and support a man who supports pedophilia? The answer is unequivocally yes!
Posted by: Bobby Bambino at October 4, 2008 9:23 AMStaunch prolifers aren't going to be fooled, as long as they have a good local right to life organization that keeps them up to date about the candidates and where they stand.
Posted by: LizFromNebraska at October 4, 2008 9:36 AMTypical Obama tactic...he will say anything and evrything to anybody anywhere just to get their vote.
Woe to those who believe in his lies and rhetoric.
Posted by: RSD at October 4, 2008 9:40 AMI've often marveled at politicians who assert that they boldly stand for two opposing positions. Beyond the obvious contradiction in Obama=prolife, it seems to me that their claim is an admission that Obama's actions are necessarily inconsistent with his system of values and, by definition, he lacks integrity.
The Matthew 25 Network is attempting to hijack the term "pro-life" and apply a new meaning to it. Perhaps this is consistent with their emergent postmodern theology. Obama's rejection of the sanctity of human life before (and after birth) makes him, by definition, anti-life.
Pro-Obama and Pro-Life. There's no such animal.
One cannot be pro Obama and be anything but pro-death of the most defensless humans.
Pro-Obama and Pro-murder. Yep, that works.
Posted by: sandi at October 4, 2008 9:50 AMHonestly, I'm a little discouraged today. I am saddened to see how people are only concerned for themselves and what they can "get" from the government, so they turn a blind eye to the plight of the most vulnerable among us.
God help the "Christians" who vote for this man.
Posted by: Kel at October 4, 2008 10:06 AMHere is another sick video.
And to use the words Obama and pro life together is a huge insult to put it mildly. Hes' the most pro abortion Senator ever, even worse than boxer or clinton.
What's next a "Pro Jew - Pro Hitler" website?
These people are mistakenly worshipping Moloch not Jesus. What about whatever you do to the least of me, you do to me? This is pure relativism and cover for the most pro-abortion president candidate ever. A candidate who thought a dead baby was the better outcome than in any way affecting abortion on demand in Illinois. These misguided people need our prayers.
Posted by: Jeff Miller at October 4, 2008 10:16 AMThe guy has balls of steel, I'll give him that. You have to be, to be more pro-abortion than the abortion lobby and still claim that prolifers can vote for you with a clear conscience.

Hillarious quote I found. From Tony, commenter at catholicpillowfight.com:
"A woman who can disembowel a moose does not fear a prancing man with a microphone." - Steve Kellmeyer
I should mention, the author of the above quote has his own blog:
MORTAL SIN Due to Action
"For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose (1) object is grave matter and which is also committed with (2) full knowledge and (3) deliberate consent."
Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1857 (emphasis in the original document).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Could a voter's preference for the candidate's positions on the pursuit of peace, economic policies benefiting the poor, support for universal health care, a more just immigration policy, etc. overcome a candidate's support for legalized abortion? In such a case, the Catholic voter must ask and answer the question: What could possibly be a proportionate reason for the more than 45 million children killed by abortion in the past 35 years? Personally, we cannot conceive of such a proportionate reason."
Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Kansas City, KS; Bishop Robert Flinn of Kansas City, MO, On Moral Responsibility

Posted by: hal at October 4, 2008 2:58 PMYou totally missed the point, Hal. It's not about splitting some votes, it's about those who say Jesus is their Saviour saying, one can be pro Obama and remain or have ever been a Christian.
The two do not mix.
One cannot stand before God supporting sin and expect to hear, "well done, good and faithful servant."
Obama is a Christian. So, I guess I don't see why Christians can't vote for him.
Posted by: hal at October 4, 2008 3:36 PM"One cannot stand before God supporting sin"
Well according to some of what I've read, if there are only 2 pro-aborts to choose from, you can vote for one of them. Isn't that supporting sin?
Posted by: prettyinpink at October 4, 2008 3:40 PMHal,

Posted by: kbhvac at October 4, 2008 3:48 PMHal,
I do not purport to speak for anyone but myself here.
I do not vote 'for' someone based solely on their religious affiliation. Christians can be just as brilliant or as stump stupid as anyone else.
mr. o'bama professes to be a 'christian'. I take him at his word. But I also judge him by both his words and his deeds. My advise to the body of Christ in regards to mr. o'bama is that they stand aloof from him, have nothing to do with him, and pray for him that he may be restored and made whole for his sake and for ours.

Posted by: mk at October 4, 2008 5:43 PMblack liberation theology is the basis for his "christian" faith. He married knowing the theology is the church and he joined the church knowing the mission. Now I will never see oprah the same way. That is another subject. A christian is a follower of Christ. The tucc believe that Jesus was a black boy suffering under the roman (rich white people) and they as committed "christians" with their own definition are called to eradicate rich white people and they are so close..just a step away from that all by deception. Black Liberation Theology. Malcom X look it up..it's scary.
Posted by: JamieNov81 at October 4, 2008 5:51 PMMK, did you respond to my last response? I didn't see it but perhaps you did a time later.
If by definition pro-choice is an evil, and you are voting for one of them, then youa re voting for an evil.
In the case you are voting for the greater "good" you are by definition also voting for the 'lesser evil'- that is, the candidate with the less amount of 'evil' in their platform.
A vote is a vote is a vote, MK. If voting for pro-choice is a vote for evil as had been said and written numerous times here, you are voting for an evil if you vote pro-choice. It doesn't make sense to say otherwise.
Posted by: prettyinpink at October 4, 2008 5:52 PMI just saw the front of the National Enquirer which stated that Obama is a Muslim. Showed him in a turban.

You have seen all the stories about BAIPA, the vote against the PBA ban, his commitment to FOCA, calling pro-lifers liars...look at the right-hand hand side of the screen.
If it's Obama who you want to vote for then vote for him. All the evidence has been presented to you.
Posted by: Jasper at October 4, 2008 6:30 PMPatricia-
The Enquirer also said Palin is having an affair, haha.
mk, I understand not voting for Obama. He doesn't support what you support, etc. If he says he is a Christian, however, I cannot see you or anyone else has the authority to deny that.
Ok, I just need you to help me with some logic.
A big reason that women abort is because of economic pressure. Obama supports policies that would help out women, and everyone really, so they wouldn't have to make the decision to abort. How would that be a bad thing? I mean, it would definitely have an impact on the abortion rate.
What is your (meaning everyone) opinion? Wouldn't you also want to help the mothers that don't abort?
Posted by: likeastarfish at October 4, 2008 9:24 PMlikeasstartfish,
why not do both. why did the Democrat party remove 'rare' from it's abortion platform.
Posted by: Jasper at October 4, 2008 9:40 PMWhy should the fringe element of "Christianity" be allowed to declare what is proper for all?
Let's look at reality. There will always be extremists decrying the state of things - and in the real world good Christians will vote for Obama.
Posted by: Cameron L'adventure at October 4, 2008 9:49 PM"Obama is a Christian"
That is debatable. I challenge the "Christianity" of any church which preaches racism and hatred, such as the church which Obama belonged to for 20 years and the church which made Obama convert to its brand of "Christianity".
Obama's church put the idea of being "black" ahead of the idea of being a follower of Christ. That is preposterous, and is a complete contradiction of the message of Jesus that we are to go forth and preach the Gospel to ALL nations... not just for the sake of one race or another. In God there is no East or West, there is no servant or free person - there is only one Body in one Lord.
If we're going to attack the Mormons for their racist beliefs of the past, it's unbelievably hypocritical to not go after Obama's church for their racist beliefs of the present!
For another example, the Westboro Baptist Church run by Fred Phelps also claims to be "Christian", yet they go around the country spreading as much hatred as possible. I would not call them "Christians"; I would call them hatemongering barbarians.
Posted by: John Lewandowski at October 4, 2008 9:55 PMthe deceiver comes as an angel of light. this new obama site promises what the republicans have already proposed. obama has been stealing republican ideas for the last year. there is no debate if Obama stands for what the republicans are proposing.

Posted by: Joan at October 4, 2008 9:59 PMYeah, Jasper has it right. Can we not walk and chew gum at the same time? How about we help poor women AND oppose Roe v. Wade at the same time? Hey, that's kind of like what Sarah Palin wants to do. Fancy that. Too bad you libs all mindlessly hate her because Olbermann told you to.
We have had politicians in Washington who were champions of helping pregnant women while opposing Roe v. Wade. One of them was my former Senator, Rick Santorum. He frequently voted to expand programs to help poor mothers, even when it made his economically conservative friends angry with him. And what did he get in return from the left for his efforts? Pure hatred. He is probably still the third most hated person in America, after George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. And why? Because he's pro-life. He was the most pro-life person in the Senate. For that, he had to be defeated. Liberals all over the nation contributed to the smear campaigns against him which led to his failed bid at a second re-election. If you want to see how hateful it was, try searching for "Santorum" on Google.
So don't give me this BS that liberals are the real pro-lifers and the real Christians. It's insulting. We had a paragon of pro-life values in the Senate, and you SOBs hated and despised him, and celebrated when he lost the election.
Posted by: John Lewandowski at October 4, 2008 10:05 PMJohn, you can challenge the Christianity of anyone you want. Just don't be surprised if they challenge you in turn.
Posted by: Hal at October 4, 2008 10:13 PM"He was the most pro-life person in the Senate. For that, he had to be defeated"
You got that right. The guy was off his rocker.
Posted by: Hal at October 4, 2008 10:14 PMHal, I would consider it an honor to be challenged by evil racists.
And I'm glad to see a rare moment of honesty from you regarding Senator Santorum. He was absolutely the greatest pro-life champion in the Senate. Guess who he supports for president? Hint: It's not the guy who voted for infanticide four times.
Posted by: John Lewandowski at October 4, 2008 10:27 PMJohn L: For another example, the Westboro Baptist Church run by Fred Phelps also claims to be "Christian", yet they go around the country spreading as much hatred as possible.

lol Last time I checked it was the Sikhs who wear turbans--I saw a picture in my sociology textbook of a Sikh in the RCMP.
More seriously though... last time I checked America had freedom of religion, as stated in the FIRST amendment to the Constitution. So even if Obama were Muslim, why do we care? Muslim =/= terrorist, you know. Most Muslims in the world aren't. I dun git it.
Posted by: Leah at October 4, 2008 11:05 PMPersonally, I would love to believe the glowing claims of Barack's wonderful Christian faith guiding his life. But the Matthew25 web site is not at all convincing. To begin, the banner on Matthew25 proclaims: "Put Away Falsehood." But the first falsehood is immediately left of that where it says "Pro-Life Obama." Even pro-choicers have to raise an eyebrow on that claim.
And then there other examples of falsehoods we have learned about in the past few months, beginning with Obama's misrepresentations about the Born Alive Bill, and then his lying about others by saying they are lying.
And now we are finding out that Obama's association with unrepentant bomber William Ayers has been much closer and much longer then "just a guy in the neighborhood." Also, what about his blasting McCain for the Gianna Jensen revelations, when he knew full well McCain did not have anything to do with it. Then there was the outrageous accusation of U.S. forces recklessly bombing villages and killing civilians in Afghanistan.
And while they are trumpeting what a wonderful christian Obama is what about his own half-brother living in abject poverty, and George Stephanopolous having to correct Obama when he referred to his "Muslim faith."
There may be plausible explanations for some of the above. We are asking for answers, not making judgments.

Either the word Christian means something or it doesn't.
Are you guys Freemasons? Ballerinas? POW's?
Simply claiming you are something, doesn't make you something.
I could claim to be Jewish. Am I?
You ask why the fringe should dictate to the majority? Good question. Obama is the fringe.
Claiming he is a Christian when the majority of Christians know that he is anything but, makes him wrong, not us.
Honestly, do you think that all there is to being a Christian is saying that you're one?
Christianity has a DEFINITION. It means something. Or it means nothing.
But it doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean. That's the rules you guys live by. That is the exact opposite of Christianity.
Morally Relative Christianity...an oxymoron if I ever heard one!
Posted by: mk at October 5, 2008 7:07 AMPIP,
I love you, but I give up.
If you can't understand what I'm saying, then I guess there is nothing else to say.
There IS a difference between looking at two bad things and choosing the one that will bring about the most good. I am then choosing the GOOD that is in that particular choice.
Choosing the least evil, is still choosing evil. It might sound like semantics, and evil might be an unavoidable part of the choice, but you haven't CHOSEN the evil. You've chosen the good.
Obama...No Good.
McCain...some Good.
I choose some good.
Obama...pure evil.
McCain...some evil.
I may not choose from that perspective.
I must find some good in one of them and choose THAT.
Granted it's all perspective, but that perspective makes all the difference in the world.
Posted by: mk at October 5, 2008 7:11 AMA big reason that women abort is because of economic pressure..
You are also assuming that McCain would not support helping mothers in need.
First, Sarah Palin has not stated nor does she have history of implementing programs that would help poor women. Please show me examples of where Palin has done that. The only thing striking in her record is when rape victims had to pay for their own rap kits. Why didn't she do anything to overturn that or why didn't she speak out if she cared so much about preventing abortion, even in cases of incest and rape?
Wouldn't the economic policies that the Democrats propose help to make abortion rare? Wouldn't a combination of social programs, especially ones that include family planning, be a solution? Instead of, lets say, just making abortion illegal?
Posted by: likeastarfish at October 5, 2008 7:26 AMDan: The Enquirer also said Palin is having an affair, haha.
There have been some great tabloid headlines in the past:
"Missing baby found inside watermelon."
"Six year old wino gives birth."
"OMAHA BIN LADEN Osama's brother rides the range as a cowboy"
Posted by: Doug at October 5, 2008 8:09 AMlikestarfish,
Obama has no intention of making abortion rare, he told Planned Parenthood that he would sign the FOCA that would void all laws that restrict abortions and make parental notification and consent laws null and void. He considers a baby a "punishment" if one of his daughters would become pregnant in the future.
He needs to actually take a look at the bible and read Jesus' words where he said "whatsoever you do to the least of my people, you do unto me".
Economic is one reason and another is coercion by boyfriend or parents (though its most likely not referred to as coercion in the polling/survey of these women who have had abortions). Then there's the outright lies that go against scientific evidence (ultrasounds for one) that say "its just tissue" or "its just a blood clot" or "its not a baby yet"; and even worse, when a woman has been harmed through rape: "no one wants a rapist's baby".
There is no such thing as supporting Obama and being Christian. One cannot support the murder of innocent children in the womb and be a Christian.
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it only matters what God says and He has said it were BETTER A MILLSTONE WERE TIED AROUND YOUR NECK AND YOU WERE THROWN INTO A LAKE RATHER THAN HURT A LITLE ONE!
So, all these Obama supporters are going to face a terribly horrible judgement on that great day, when all will face a Just and Holy God.
Hey fish-like-liar, Sarah Palin does indeed have a history of helping poor women, and in spite of your ridiculous smear about rape kits, there is no evidence that anyone in Wasilla was ever charged for their own rape kit or that Sarah Palin ever supported such a policy.
While liars such as yourself have also accused Palin of cutting funding to help pregnant teens, the reality is that she increased funding to help them:
""Covenant House's IRS Form 990 shows the funds that Paul Kane describes as "slashed" was over a threefold increase from the government funds they received from all sources in 2006 (FY2006 ending 12/31/06).""
So, what other lies do you have to help your messiah Obama lie his way into the White House?
Posted by: John Lewandowski at October 5, 2008 9:52 AMlikeastarfish, you are a lier. sarah palin never made rape victims pay out of pocket for their own kits. they were charged to insurance when possible, and if not, the gov't paid. however, the police chief expressed a desire to make the rapists pay, which would've been great if possible.
and what about all the women who would abort no matter what, under any circumstances?
Posted by: xalisae at October 5, 2008 10:22 AMThink the site's theses have merit? Think the attempt to persuade pro-lifers to vote for Obama will work?
Yes and yes, especially with young voters who consider themselves pro-life.
Unlike the negative and dishonest appeals to emotion that characterize your own political advertising, the Pro-Life Pro-Obama pitch works by appealing to the reader's common sense. After reading the site, it's obvious that Obama's pro-family, pro-woman policies will prevent unwanted pregnancies, support women who want to carry their pregnancies, and reduce the need for abortion. If you only cared about saving babies, you would welcome an Obama presidency.
But we both know that "pro-life activists" such as yourself really only care about electing Republicans, not saving babies. Obviously the common-sense, let's-save-babies approach won't work with so-called "pro-lifers" like yourself.
Posted by: reality at October 5, 2008 10:45 AM..."Neither party expected the magnitude or duration which it has already attained; neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less fundamental and astonishing. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God. Each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayer of both should not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully, for the Almighty has his own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offense come; but woe unto that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose ... one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both ... this terrible war, as was due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern that there is any departure from those divine attributes which believers in the living God always ascribe to him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away; yet if it be God's will that it continue until the wealth piled by bondsmen by two hundred and fifty years' unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

The fruit of being pro-murder of innocent children is very, very telling and revealing.
This is the grossest use of propaganda since Joseph Goebbels' dealing with the "Jewish problem."
Here's the truth about Liberals: If they tell you who they really are, they get creamed. So, they make up who they are, get elected, and then do more damage after they are in office.
Notice Obama's message used against Hillary and what's being said now. It used to be higher taxes, more spending, the signing of FOCA, ending the war in Iraq immediately, etc., etc., etc. Does ANYONE know who Obama really is? I suggest it's the Obama that ran against Hillary. That Obama can't win the election, the focus grouips have showed them that.
Obama's mask is they he is a Christian and against abortion yet readily embraces one the most heionus organizations in the world, Planned Parenthood. So, in the economic downturn, when more women will be faced with economic challenges, you mistakenly think that abortions will go down? No they will probably double.
Any one that ingores the truth about Obama, and votes for him because they think he is pro-life be warned. Every single baby that is aborted during his Presidency that could have been born if McCain-Palin were elected, their blood will be on your head.

2 Peter 3:2-4 "2I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. 3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
Posted by: Janet at October 5, 2008 1:10 PMToday is Respect Life Sunday. It was definitely heartening to hear our pastor speak out forcefully on life issues and how America is founded on the principle of the inalienable right to life from conception to nature death. It renewed my feelings that my Catholic church is indeed a sanctuary from secularism and a bastion of Christian communion. If the sermons were similar in other churches then Christians everywhere should turn out in great numbers to vote McCain/Palin.
Posted by: truthseeker at October 5, 2008 1:45 PMTruthseeker,
The words "Respect Life" were not uttered on teh pulpit toady in my parish, unfortunately.
And what's more unreal to me is that 3 of my fellow Lay Carmelites have pledged support of Obama. Carmelites! Folks who have taken a vow of obedience, who have pledged to live out their baptismal promises in a profound way, and they're going to vote for the Enemy of Life.
I hope prayer and fasting fo a long way.

The Frog And The Endowed
A guy goes to see the doctor, because he's been a little too well endowed, shall we say. In fact, it's 25 inches long. Can't get anybody to have sex with him. Anyway, the doctor says there's nothing he can do medically, but sends him to see a psychic that he thinks might be able to help.
The psychic takes a look at the problem and tells him to go to a particular pond, deep in the forest, and talk to a frog that lives there. "Ask the frog to marry you and each time the frog says no, you'll be 5 inches shorter."
Worth a try, he thinks, and off he dashes into the forest, as anyone in this sort of joke would. Finds the pond and sees the frog on the other side, sitting on a log. "Will you marry me?" he calls to the frog.
Frog looks at him, disinterested at best, and calls back, "No."
Guy looks down, sure enough, he's 5 inches shorter. Hey, this is great, he thinks -- let's try that again. "Will you marry me?" he asks the frog.
Frog rolls his eyes, and shouts back again, "No!"
Twitch -- the guy's down to 15 inches. Well that's still a bit excessive, he thinks. Down another 5 would be perfect. So he calls across again, "Will you marry me?"
Frog yells back, "Look - how many times do I have to tell you? No. No. NO!"

If you joined a jewish temple, converted (or whatever you had to do) and went to services, I'd say it was between you and your god whether you were jewish or not. If you ate pork, and claimed to be jewish, I could say you're not living up to the expectations of your religion (as I understood them), but I don't think I could say you're not really a jew. If you claimed that your understanding of being jewish allows for the eating of pork. Your Rabbi has raised no complaints. I could say, that contradicts my understanding in a very significant way. I don't think I should say you are not a jew.
Senator Obama believes that Jesus Christ was the son of God, and is God, and was put to death on the cross, and rose again after three days. I think that makes him a Christian. He might be a good Christian, or a bad Christian. But he is a Christian.

Exactly what are the "lies" being spread about Obama?
"Are pro life Democrats not Democrats?"
You have to to Google Democrats for Life and get their perspective.
They may be democrats, whatever that means, but from what I have read they are not very well received at democrat gatherings.
Kind of like conservative people of color. 'W' once nominated a latino for a federal jugeship. The man was from Honduras originally, but was now a naturalized US citizen. LULAC said, 'Just having a Spanish sirname does not qualify you to be Latino.' I am sure you know who I am talking about.
Same way Clarence Thomas was not an authentic black man because he was a conservative.
Or my favorite is the man being interviewed on the radio who said he was formally a homosexual, but had been reoriented to heterosexuallity. Some one called in an challenged him saying he had never been gay. The guy responded with his bona fides: the hundreds of different homosexuals he had been intimate with.
Or the guys response when his wife has caught him in the very act with another woman. 'Baby, I was not having sex with that woman. Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?'
We humans can be stump stupid.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. The most current example: Sarah Palin can not be a feminist, because she is pro-life and a conservative. The daily double of disqualifiers.

Maybe Sarah Palin isn't a feminist--I don't know because I don't know her--but those cannot be reasons for not being a feminist any more than being a democrat means you aren't Christian.

It is not me who is undermining feminism (whatever that means) it is the liberal feminists who attack women who claim to be feminists and who also consider themselves politically conservative and pro-life. Feminism is not monolithic. I am just pointing out the double standards.

I always try to stress what feminism really means, is all. Anyone can be a feminist: feminists simply want equality amongst sexes. What people too often see in the image of feminism is really female chauvinism, ie: people who want female superiority over men.

There are four votes, however, which give evidence to the claim that Barack Obama supports infanticide.

Godzilla vs. Mothra (ゴジラVSモスラ?, Gojira vs Mosura lit. Godzilla vs. Mothra), is a 1992 tokusatsu daikaiju eiga produced by Toho Company Ltd. and the nineteenth installment in the Godzilla series. The film was directed by Takao Okawara, written by Kazuki Omori, had its score composed by Akira Ifukube, had Masahiro Kishimoto directing cinematography, and Koichi Kawakita directing special effects. It was produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka and Shogo Tomiyama. It comes after Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, which means it was the fourth in the Heisei era. The film was released to Japanese theaters on December 12, 1992.
Plot Synopsis
In 1993, one year after the Futurians attacked Japan with King Ghidorah and the attempt to remove Godzilla from history resulted in the Monster King growing larger and more powerful, a large meteorite crashes to Earth and lands in the Ogasawara Trench, causing massive environmental destruction around the world. In addition, Godzilla, who had been hibernating at the bottom of the Trench, awakens once again. Meanwhile, in Thailand, fortune-hunter/thief Takuya Fujita robs a temple and barely escapes with his life. However, as he crawls out of the temple, he is greeted by armed policemen, who promptly arrest him. Soon after, Secretary Ruzo Dobashi and Takuya's ex-wife Masako Fujita arrive from Japan and visit the thief in jail. They reveal that they are studying the effects of the meteorite's impact on the environment, and they have discovered something strange: a large object has been uncovered on the remote Infant Island in Indonesia. The development company Marutomo is planning to develop the island, but the giant mystery object is standing in their way. Marutomo has the backing of the Japanese government, and the Environmental Planning Bureau is sending a team to the island to investigate. Dobashi and Masako offer to get Takuya out of Thailand and suspend his 15 year prison sentence if he will lead the expedition and give the salary he receives to his daughter Midori as child support. With the threat of nearly two decades in prison, Takuya accepts.
Back in Japan, Environmental Planning Bureau Chief Joji Minamino has begun to worry about the state of the world. He and his team have connected many of the environmental disturbances caused by the meteorite to human activity on Earth. He claims that, although the meteorite started the chain reaction of destruction, mankind had, as it were, set up the dominoes. When psychic Miki Saegusa announces that she has discovered that Godzilla has also awoken, Minamino begins to fear the worst.
In Indonesia, the small yacht carrying the Infant Island expeditionary team, including Takuya, Masako, and Marutomo representative Kenji Andoh, sails towards its destination. They finally arrive on the island, and discover the appalling destruction caused by Marutomo's deforestation. As they pass, they wonder if such a thing will ever happen to Japan. As they trek across the tropical island, they soon discover a rope bridge, which must be crossed to continue on. Unfortunately, the bridge breaks as they cross, and the trio falls into the river below. They soon recover, but become all but lost in the center of the island. As night falls, they set up camp near a waterfall. As Andoh sleeps, Masako shows her ex-husband pictures of their daughter Midori, who believes that her father is a crime-fighter and capturing "bad guys". Masako could not bear to tell her child that her daddy is a "bad guy" himself. The next morning, Takuya wakes the others with the news that he has discovered a cave hidden behind the waterfall. As the trio enter the cave, they find a mural on the wall depicting a cross-like object. Takuya estimates the cave painting to be several thousand years old. On the opposite wall, they discover another mural, this one depicting what appear to be two giant, flying insects fighting each other. They then venture deeper into the cave, and finally emerge back into the jungle. When they reach the edge of the trees, they are greeted by a remarkable sight: a gigantic, blue and yellow egg is resting on a hillside. This, they realize, is the giant object they were sent to investigate. As the team wonders aloud what kind of egg it is, two voices, speaking in unison, respond. The culprits: two tiny women who introduce themselves to the trio as the "Cosmos". They explain that the egg belongs to Mothra, a gigantic monster that had lived thousands of years ago. They tell the team that over 12,000 years earlier, an advanced civilization had existed on Earth. This ancient society was completely peaceful, living without war or unrest, and the people worshiped Mothra as their guardian. However, the scientists of the ancient civilization invented a machine designed to control the climate of the Earth. Apparently offended by this, the planet's life force literally manifested its self as a monster, a giant insect that resembled Mothra herself. This monster, known as the "Black Mothra" to the people, was called Battra, and ruthlessly attacked the civilization. Thankfully, Mothra rose to defend humanity, and she and Battra engaged in an epic battle (and it is this conflict that was documented in the cave mural). Eventually, Mothra succeeded in defeating Battra, and the monster was laid to rest in Siberia. However, Battra had not been entirely unsuccessful in its mission, and the ancient civilization was left completely destroyed. Even worse, when the climate control device was destroyed in the conflict, the Earth had flooded, and much of the land was left underwater. Mothra escaped to the high ground and eventually settled on Infant Island. Now, 12,000 years later, Mothra's egg had been revealed. The Cosmos explain that human activity on the island had weakened the land, making it easy for the meteorite's impact to expose it. This, the tiny women explain, has put the egg in terrible danger, as they now fear that Battra himself may have awoken as well. As sworn enemies, Battra will surely head towards the egg with revenge in its twisted mind.
Far away, in Siberia, the Cosmos' fears begin to manifest into reality as the ice breaks, and a gigantic creature emerges, heading south quickly. In Japan, the JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) spot the creature as it grows closer to Japan. When Chief Minamino reads the report sent from Masako on Infant Island, he identifies the monster as Battra. Now on top of widespread environmental destruction, including rising sea levels, typhoons, and earthquakes, there is now a giant monster to contend with. Minamino now fears that doomsday may be near at hand.
Back on Infant Island, Andoh has hatched a plan to protect the egg. He has contacted his boss, Marutomo's powerful CEO Takeshi Tomokane, who has ordered that the egg be hauled back to Japan to be used as a tourist attraction. Andoh appeals to his team members and the Cosmos, insisting that moving the egg to Japan is a move to protect it. He claims that Japan will be a better environment to raise the egg in. The Cosmos agree, and also volunteer to travel to Japan as well. With that, a larger ship soon arrives off the coast of the island, and the egg is soon loaded onto a barge to be shipped back to Japan. However, near the coast of Japan, the JSDF has been deployed to attempt to fend off Battra as it continues to swim closer. Unfortunately, the missiles fired by the jets have no effect on the beast, and it soon hits the coast and begins to burrow under the country. The giant larva soon emerges in Nogoya, and begins to level the city with powerful beams fired from the creature's eyes and the giant horn. With Nogoya in ruins, the creature once again heads below ground and disappears.
Back out at sea, as the ship towing Mothra's egg sails along, the captain has spotted something concerning on the radar. Something big is approaching the area. Several minutes later, Godzilla himself rises from the sea and begins to approach the barge holding the egg. Knowing that they are in danger, Takuya rushes to the stern of the ship to release the barge, thereby eliminating the drag. However, Andoh interferes, not wanting to loose the egg, and the two duke it out on the deck. Eventually, Takuya punches Andoh into submission, and releases the egg, leaving it to the mercy of Godzilla. However, as the gigantic reptile approaches, the egg begins to crack, and soon, a gigantic larva emerges. As Godzilla opens fire with his atomic ray, Mothra slithers out of the egg and into the ocean. A few seconds later, Godzilla roars in pain as the giant larva latches on to the tip of its tail. Godzilla attempts to shake Mothra off, and eventually rips his tail out of the larva's pincers. Mothra then swims over to the barge and hides behind it, attempting to protect itself from the violent Godzilla. Mothra lifts its head up from behind the barge and begins to shoot a strand of silk from its mouth at Godzilla, who in no time is covered in the web-like substance. However, Godzilla fires his ray at the larva and quickly sends it diving back below the waves. Moments later, Mothra attacks again, biting Godzilla in the chest. However, the nuclear kaiju simply grabs the infantile insect and throws it away. Mothra, realizing that she stands no chance, quickly retreats. Unfortunately, in the distance, another gigantic object is rapidly approaching. Battra has finally arrived, and it quickly heads for Mothra. The demonic insect lifts Mothra from the water with its horn, sending the newborn worm flying away. When Battra attempts to fire its beam at the injured Mothra, the beam misses the intended target and hits Godzilla instead. Godzilla quickly retaliates and fires his atomic ray back at Battra, destroying the barge in the process. Battra then swims straight for Godzilla, and the two begin to battle. The fight soon moves underwater, and the two behemoths continue their battle on a deep sea shelf. On the surface, Takuya, Andoh, Masako, and the Cosmos watch from the deck of the escaping ship as Mothra heads back to Infant Island. Andoh moans about returning empty-handed to Japan, but there is nothing he can do now. Deep in the sea, Godzilla and Battra continue their bout. Unfortunately, their fighting has triggered the eruption of a massive deep-sea volcano, and as the two persist in their battle, they disappear in the lava and sink into the very depths of the Earth. On the radar, both monsters have disappeared. As the ship returns to Japan, both Godzilla and Battra are presumed dead.
Back in Japan (which is rejoicing at the death of Godzilla), Takuya, Masako, and Andoh check into a motel after their adventure. As the Cosmos sleep in the motel room, the three drink downstairs. Takuya and Masako agree that loosing the egg was really for the best, as Marutomo could not have planned to do anything good with it any way. As they talk, they begin to grow closer again. As the two talk with each other, they fail to notice Andoh sneak away. The next morning, Takuya and Masako discover to their horror that the Cosmos have disappeared. It does not take long for them to realize who is to blame: Andoh, having lost the egg, has taken the two tiny women to his boss, Mr. Tomokane. At Marutomo, Tomokane admires his catch. He orders Andoh to buy a doll house and furniture to please his new spokespeople. Meanwhile, Takuya and Masako head to the airport to meet their daughter Midori, who had been staying with relatives while her mother was away. However, as Masako hugs her daughter, she turns to discover that Takuya has disappeared. At the Environmental Planning Bureau, Chief Minamino confesses that any attempts made by him and the government to reclaim the Cosmos from Tomokane have failed. There is little they can do now. However, at Marutomo, the Cosmos do have one last chance for rescue. As the sun sets, the two begin to sing a prayer to Mothra, a plea for help. Far away on Infant Island, Mothra hears their voices and begins a long journey to Japan to save her priestesses.
In Japan, a problem has arisen at Marutomo. The Cosmos, it seems, have once again vanished. As it turns out, Takuya has stolen them back from the company, but instead of setting them free, he is planning to sell them to an American business for $1,000,000. At the same time, the JSDF has spotted Mothra approaching the mainland, and is ordered to attack it to keep it out of the country. However, the giant larva easily defeats the Defense Forces and ventures ashore in Tokyo, heading for the Cosmos. As the monster demolishes the city, Miki Saegusa uses her psychic abilities to home in on the Cosmos' location. Miki, Masako, and Midori soon arrive at the hotel where Takuya is staying, and Masako angrily confronts her ex-husband. Midori also pipes in, saying she doesn't want to be a thief's daughter anymore. However, as they talk, Mothra arrives in the area and begins to demolish the hotel in search of her priestesses. Midori pleads with the Cosmos to stop Mothra, saying that she will make her daddy stop stealing if they help. Ashamed of himself, Takuya releases the girls, who ask to be brought to a place where Mothra can see them. Miki, Masako, Takuya, and Midori bring the Cosmos to a window, and the two twin girls stand before Mothra and ask her to calm down. Mothra, seeing that her priestesses are safe, relaxes and turns around, heading away from the hotel. Unfortunately, as she flees, the military fires on her, blasting her with a tank brigade. As Mothra is relentlessly shelled by the JSDF, Miki, Masako, Takuya, and Midori scream at the army to stop. When it is discovered that the four people are still in the building, a ceasefire is ordered. Mothra, seriously injured and weak, crawls away slowly. heading for the capitol. The giant larva soon arrives at the Diet Building (Japan's House of Parliament), and crashes through the west wing, eventually coming to rest at the center of the structure. Miki, Masako, Takuya, and Midori (with the Cosmos in tow) soon arrive on the scene and look upon the injured monster, who appears to be dying. However, the Cosmos reveal that the creature is not dying; it has simply reached the end of its first life stage. Sure enough, as the sun sets over the horizon, Mothra begins to spray its webbing into the air. The silky substance begins to fall around the larva, and very soon the monster is sealed inside of a protective cocoon.
A few hours later, however, the ground begins to shake under the feet of those around Tokyo, and it is discovered that the magma pressure under Mt. Fuji has risen to a dangerous level. An eruption is inevitable, and sure enough, Mt. Fuji soon begins to leak lava all over the land Marutomo had recently bought and prepared for development. Hearing of this, Mr. Tomokane wonders aloud why all of his projects have suddenly been singled out of destruction. Andoh believes that the Earth is angry with them, and is getting its revenge. He knows that Marutomo has gone too far, and will now be destroyed for harming the planet. Tomokane, incredulous, fires Andoh for his insubordination. Andoh, however, does not care, and leaves Tomokane with a warning: he will soon pay the price for what he has done.
Back at Mt. Fuji, a familiar form rises from the still erupting volcano. From out of the crater emerges Godzilla, still alive after falling into the under-sea volcano while battling Battra. The creature had simply swum through the molten lava under the ocean and up into Mt. Fuji, triggering the eruption that had now released him upon the world again. The news reaches the JSDF unit surrounding Mothra's cocoon, who are told that the monster may now be heading for them. Suddenly, the cocoon before them begins to stir, and as the Cosmos sing their ritual song, Mothra emerges in her adult form. Now a giant, beautiful butterfly-like creature, Mothra lifts herself from her cocoon and takes to the air on her giant and colorful wings. The Cosmos tell the heroes that Mothra is on its way to confront Battra, who has also survived the undersea eruption. Out at sea, Battra rises from the water and undergoes a transformation of its own. The larval creature morphs into its adult form, a darker and more twisted version of Mothra, and quickly flies to intercept its opponent. As it turns out, both Mothra and Battra, as well as Godzilla, are headed towards Yokahama, and when the three intercept, a climactic battle will be inevitable.
Mortal enemies Mothra and Battra meet in the skies above Yokahama and engage in mortal combat. As the monsters bash each other and fire energy rays at one another over the city, Godzilla arrives and heads towards the two insects. Eventually, Battra forces Mothra to the ground in the Cosmo World amusement park, and begins to fire at her with its eye beams. However, Battra soon spots Godzilla, and leaves Mothra to continue its fight with the Monster King. After burying Godzilla in rubble, Battra flies closer to inspect. Suddenly, Godzilla emerges and grabs Battra, hurling it away. The nuclear titan then begins to blast the Black Mothra with his atomic ray. Mothra notices this, and begins to formulate a plan. She lifts off and attacks Godzilla, releasing a powder that weakens the behemoth and sends it crashing to the ground. Mothra then flies over to Battra and lands in front of the downed insect. She then begins to transfer energy to Battra, healing its wounds and empowering it again. However, Godzilla soon recovers and interrupts the process. Mothra lifts off once more and assaults Godzilla again with her antenna beams. She strikes the monster with strands of lightning released from her wings. Unfortunately, Godzilla uses a Nuclear Pulse to blast Mothra away, and she lands at the base of the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris Wheel. Godzilla then hits the base of the Ferris wheel with his ray, sending it falling towards the downed Mothra. Suddenly, seconds before the wheel would have crushed the benevolent insect, Battra intervenes and grabs it. With Mothra safe, the Cosmos proudly announce that Mothra and Battra have "become friends", and are now allied against Godzilla. Battra lifts the Ferris wheel into the air as Mothra takes flight, and rams the giant wheel into Godzilla, toppling the titan. Now working together, Mothra and Battra, once mortal foes, assault Godzilla relentlessly with their energy beams. After a long battle, Godzilla finally crashes to the ground in defeat. Mothra and Battra then stop and fly into the sky. Facing each other, the two appear to communicate with each other about something. After a few moments, Battra descends and lands on Godzilla's chest, grabbing the creature tightly. Mothra to lands and grabs Godzilla's tail. Suddenly, Godzilla rises and bites Battra in the neck, mortally wounding it. Although weak, Battra, with the help of Mothra, succeeds in lifting Godzilla from the ground, and both creatures air lift the King of the Monsters out of the city and over the open ocean. However, as the monsters fly their captive out to sea, Godzilla fires his ray at Battra at point-blank range. This is the final straw, and Battra looses his grip on life and dies mid-transit. Now on her own, Mothra releases Godzilla, and the monster (along with the body of Battra) falls into the sea. Mothra then flies over the spot where Godzilla landed and releases a trail of pollen that forms into her cross-like symbol. The area is then sealed with an energy that, it is hoped, will keep Godzilla at bay for the time being.
The next day, the Cosmos greet humanity with a terrifying revelation: in 1999, a large asteroid, capable of destroying all life on Earth, will hit the planet. They reveal that Battra had planned to awaken in 1999 and intercept and destroy the asteroid, thereby saving the Earth it was sworn to protect. However, Battra was no longer alive. Fortunately, just before the creature had died, it had made a deal with Mothra, and now the job to intercept the asteroid fell to her. The Cosmos bid farewell to humanity, and as Takuya, Masako, Midori, Miki, Chief Minamino, and the JSDF watch, they merge with Mothra, and the giant monster lifts off and flies into space for her final mission. Masako tells her daughter that it is now their responsibility to help the planet, and the young girl takes the hands of her mother and father, uniting her family once again. In space, Mothra glides away from the Earth out into the stars and promising to return to earth for saving the humanity again if any danger to the planet.

Although viewers appreciate some of the features of the film, such as the ethereal cinematography (in scenes such as when Mothra's larvae spins a cocoon), the unusual final battle scene set in an amusement park (with Battra using a Ferris Wheel as a weapon against Godzilla), and the typically beautiful score by Akira Ifukube, some critics charge that the film is burdened by a confluence of over-the-top themes and moments. For example, there is a blatant Indiana Jones influence in a beginning scene, when Takuya escapes from a crumbling ancient temple. Another example is the heavy environmentalist message, with a character musing in almost every scene about the destructiveness caused by human misdeeds.[1] [2]Although there has always been some element of this in Godzilla films, since Godzilla was created by nuclear tests and in ways recalls the devastation caused by atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, critics argue that the topic is handled here too heavy-handedly.
Another strange combination for the film is the tension between a child-friendly atmosphere and more adult themes. A young girl has a prominent role, and Mothra is implicitly cast as a guardian of children (these ideas are further developed in the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy). However, there is profanity (not typical for a Godzilla film), the broken relationship of a former couple is explored (with the two making bitter remarks to each other), and the violence caused by the monsters detracts from the child-like aura. It is a strange combination both liked and disliked by viewers.

- This movie is the most commercially successful Godzilla film of all time, even coming close to beating Jurassic Park in Japan when it was released in 1992. Although King Kong vs. Godzilla still holds the record for the highest attendance of any film, it still preformed slightly poorer at the box office than this movie.
- The movie poster for this film was used as the selected cover of the musical CD, "The Best of Godzilla 2: 1984 to 1995".
- Mothra journeys into outer space at the end of this film. In Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla she is somehow aware of SpaceGodzilla and its intentions. It is possible that if Battra survived in this film, Mothra would have aided Godzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in the battle with SpaceGodzilla.
- The Godzilla suit used predominantly in this film has been nicknamed "BatoGoji".
- The second suit used for the film, known alternately as the "BioGoji" and "GhidoGoji" suit (as it was previously used for both 1989's Godzilla vs Biollante and 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah), was actually stolen from Toho Studios and remained M.I.A. for several weeks. Ultimately, an older woman discovered, to her obvious shock, the suit laying on a beach near Tokyo Bay in quite a sorry state. It was returned to Toho and repaired in time to be used in both the underwater fight sequence with the larval Battra, and for Godzilla's rise from the erupting Mt. Fuji for this, it's last film appearance before a well-earned retirement.
- Strangely, the teaser poster depicts two Mothra larvae hatching from an egg and doesn't feature Battra at all. The reason for this is unknown.
- The military march made by Akira Ifukube is composed of two pre-existing marches from War of the Gargantuas and Destroy All Monsters.

Welcome to the Southeast District!
Southeast Seattle, also known as Rainier Valley, is a blend of long-time residents and an influx of South East Asians and East African residents and businesses. Southeast has become culturally diverse and has experienced growing pains. Sound Transit has developed a rail system along Martin Luther King Jr. Way South, a major north-south arterial. The New Holly and Rainier Vista housing developments have altered the housing stock and tax base. Columbia City has transitioned into a popular place of destination. The Southeast District is bounded by Lake Washington on the east, Martin Luther King Jr. Way South on the west, Interstate 90 on the north and Seattle city limits to the south. Throughout the district, there are a number of organizations supportive of their unique neighborhoods.

US 'suffering worst drought in 56 years'
The United States is experiencing its widest-spread drought in 56 years, according to a release by the nation's meteorological agency Monday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that some 55 percent of the contiguous United States, particularly in the Midwest, suffered from drought last month, according to the Palmer Drought Index, a formula that determines dryness based on temperature and rainfall data.
The percentage is the largest since 1956, when drought spanned 58% of the country.
This is the "14th warmest and tenth driest June on record," the report read.
"Topsoil has dried out and crops, pastures and rangeland have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years."
