Christian Side Hug?

I honestly don’t have words for the following video!! This MUST be a Pentacostal Church!! The funny part is that they condemn “frontal” hugs yet refer to themselves as “rough riders.” Odd given the fact that there is a brand name of condoms called that too!! I must say that if this happened in my youth group when I was a teenager I would have stopped going to that church, converted to Catholicism, and become a monk!! Ok, in all seriousness………is it just me or is the world right about the America Church? We are some CHEESY folks!! :) 10 stars for being funny though!!!!!!

Loser of the Week: Jesse Jackson

shawnwilson — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:47:20 +0000

Guess who’s back? Back again……Loser of the Week is back……..tell a friend. Sorry that it’s been a while since my last loser of the week. Life has been pretty busy on the work end of things and I am just getting the chance to catch up on some much needed blogging. Of course being that it has been so busy I haven’t really had a chance to check in on who’s being a loser around this great country of ours. However, after checking out my twitter account (click here to follow me on twitter.) and seeing the following story on the Drudge Report I knew exactly who this weeks “Loser of the Week,” would be. Before I get into it though, you really need to follow this link.

Ok, now that you’re back let me get into this weeks rant:

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??!!! I am so sick of this idiot taking up space on this planet!!! If there was ever a more racist human being on the planet it would be this jerk!! I really hope that this guys takes a long drive off a short bridge one day because he is one of the many reasons for the continued racial strains in this nation. I am so sick of black leaders complaining about how racist this country is, when the real problems are people like Jesse Jackson who say everything that that he disagrees with is racist and just the “white man trying to keep the black man down.”

EARTH TO JESSE JACKSON!!! WE ARE IN THE YEAR 2009, NOT 1963!! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR………ER…….OUT OF THE SAND YOU IDIOT!! I just can’t get over the fact that it’s ok for this racist bigot to say these kinds of things and not be held accountable. This dude got Don Imus fired for less and NOTHING is happening to him?!! TALK ABOUT RACISM!!!! So, Mr. Big Black Racist Jesse Jackson, you are the “Loser of the Week.” Hopefully someday soon your actions will catch up to you. Until next time enjoy the following:

Much love,

Shawn

We Can’t Sit Back and Allow the Loss of Our Freedoms

shawnwilson — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:26:24 +0000

by Andrew Napolitano

FOXNews.com

We elect the government. It works for us. As we watch the Democrats’ plans for health care take shape, we can only ask how did our government get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives?

Last Saturday, at 11 o’clock in the evening, the House of Representatives voted by a five vote margin to have the federal government manage the health care of every American at a cost of $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years.

For the first time in American history, if this bill becomes law, the Feds will force you to buy insurance you might not want, or may not need, or cannot afford. If you don’t purchase what the government tells you to buy, if you don’t do so when they tell you to do it, and if you don’t buy just what they say is right for you, the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail. Freedom of choice and control over your own body will be lost. The privacy of your communications and medical decision making with your physician will be gone. More of your hard earned dollars will be at the disposal of federal bureaucrats.

It was not supposed to be this way. We elect the government. It works for us. How did it get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives? Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke. It happens gradually, over the years and decades and even centuries. A little stretch here, a cave in there, powers are slowly taken from the states and the people and before you know it, we have one big monster government that recognizes no restraint on its ability to tell us how to live. It claims the power to regulate any activity, tax any behavior, and demand conformity to any standard it chooses.

The Founders did not give us a government like the one we have today. The government they gave us was strictly limited in its scope, guaranteed individual liberty, preserved the free market, and on matters that pertain to our private behavior was supposed to leave us alone.

In the Constitution, the Founders built in checks and balances. If the Congress got out of hand, the states would restrain it. If the states stole liberty or property, the Congress would cure it. If the President tried to become a king, the courts would prevent it.

In the next few weeks, I will be giving a public class on Constitutional Law here on the Fox News Channel, on the Fox Business Network, on Foxnews.com, and on Fox Nation. In anticipation of that, many of you have asked: What can we do now about the loss of freedom? For starters, we can vote the bums out of their cushy federal offices! We can persuade our state governments to defy the Feds in areas like health care — where the Constitution gives the Feds zero authority. We can petition our state legislatures to threaten to amend the Constitution to abolish the income tax, return the selection of U.S. senators to state legislatures and nullify all the laws the Congress has written that are not based in the Constitution.

One thing we can’t do is just sit back and take it.
