Sick again.. will try to blog past the pain & exhaustion as time permits. All prayers, good wishes much appreciated.
Since (as St. Paul says) we may complete in ourselves the sufferings of Christ– sharing in his suffering, that we may partake of his glory– if anybody out there particularly needs prayers, please let me know. Also, do use the below e-mail instead of the other one to get directly in touch with me.
Pray for me, a sinner–

“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church….” [ Colossians 1:23-25 ]
and
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.” [ 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 ]
– ITEM:Obama’s Enemies List Grows – The targeting of perceived political enemies by the Obama Administration has grown from mere individuals to entire groups
~ WHETHER we get lined up against the wall one day, we must be ladies and gentlemen; people of principle; recognizing the humanity of our enemies, and praying for them even as we die.
For some liberals– like David Letterman– conservatives and those on the unofficial enemies list of the Obama Regime are less than human; they are outside the group; not of our kind. You see, progressives are still just as racist and intolerant as they were when the old-time Southern democrats voted and prevaricated in favour of slavery, and against black human rights. Now, however, it’ their ideological and political enemies who get the special treatment as unclean, cootified, less than human.
The unending hatred and nostalgic longing for the full Bush Derangement Syndrome is hard to watch amongst the usual suspects– especially now that their messianic golden boy is tarnishing and revealing some cheap welds and tin parts and shoddy workmanship. But Palin, Cheney, Rush, bitter Bible-hugging gun-clingers, or the updated list from the Central Committee are all fair topics for the most vile, peurile, stupid attacks– which reflect far more badly on the people attacking than those so attacked.
I Don’t Blame Obama
I don’t blame Obama. I blame TV. I blame human nature; I blame 50 years of increasingly bad and fascistical American ‘education’; I blame feminism and male cowardice. I blame the Presidents and most world ‘leaders’ since Reagan. This particular moment, this soul-sick nastiness is a snapshot of part of the American spirit allowed to go rotten for long years. Obama is the living spirit of the age, an empty house through whom the winds blow, bearing trash and dust and flies. A former cutting-edge cultural bellwether guy, Letterman has become a sad little puppet of a petty, smelly little orthodoxy now entrenching in the American political and cultural classes.
~ SO LIKE other provinces, Nova Scotia now goes the Socialist way. Thankfully, that province is still saddled with too much debt (and the general economic malaise), so we won’t see a repeat of the new NDP Premier Bob Rae Ontario $10 Billion super-blowout in a year repeat.. and he’s off to be liberal now, since they swung left. But an NDP Nova Scotia?
A socialistical New Scotland will be idiosyncratic, but I’m sure it will only speed up and endeepen the already rampant political correctness, do-goodery and busy-bodyness that the province has seen in the past decade and more. Our Tories were diligent, lacklustre, but not socially conservative sorts. No messy push-back against the onwards-lefting status quo for them!
The Ndippers here will boost the Unions, more pro-abortionism, HRCism safe; same-sex rights program; fiddle with social engineering, play with the debt, and not act too weirdly too quickly for fear of raising the ire of a still-moderate electorate: this was partly a protest-vote against a 10 year conservative run. If the NDippers get a second term, or (heaven forfend) increase their take of the votes, then I’d start to wonder.
~ DON’T EXPECT THINGS.. JUST BE OPEN TO THEM.. like when we covered that story last time about one Sheikh Khaled Bin Mahfouz, libel tourist extraordinaire. As I Googled about on the man, I found some controversy or other about a London luxury pad he shared with a young man. Said young man and his connections go all the way to Joey “Plugs” Biden. Indeed, it may well be that offshore monies were poured into the Obama Campaign 2008.
You remember.. Obama raised absolutely unprecedentedly large amounts of loot ($450M, $200M unverified sources) via the interwebs, and all sorts of untraceable alleged sources, outspending McCain in some venues by 10 to 1 or more. We don’t expect to see a campaign donation review any time soon to make sure all the donated money was legit, and with no implicit strings attached– but after all, the Saudis have been openly buying American universities and DC influence for years– why not someone like Sheikh Khaled Bin Mahfouz help along a friendly president from sources which may also donate to Al Qaeda, Hamas, and all sorts of other hateful terrorist sorts? Spread the love around, eh?
Lots of people are for sale in this life– the Saudis are prudentially throwing their weight around to protect their interests, and promote their intense version of Islam. This blogger and my sites are not for sale, but DC, and even the Oval Office are clearly under the influence of a lot of offshore money, advice and expectations of a return for their investment.
So I have no idea if the links and info/ allegations via conaffredux.blog are worthwhile, or not– but surely such connections are not unimaginable, and we would do well to make sure– with attention and research to the possibilities– that our politicians are not bought and paid for, nor beholden to interests other than those they were elected and have sworn to upbold: namely, the freedom and well-being of their people and nation.
Given everything we’ve seen from Mr. B. Hussein O. in the past few months, it’s clear that Arabs and Palestinians have benefited from Obama’s Presidency thusfar in his unprecedented and irresponsible approach to the Middle East, sometimes in clear opposition to American security interests and commitments.
After all, the Clintons were clearly partly bought by the Chinese Regime; so who owns pieces of Mr. Obama, via all those helpful donations? ~
~ FEELING LIKE you’re in the right is a pretty important human trait: even if you’re a rebel, you need something ‘establishment’ to rebel against. Even more important for most people to know what’s right and wrong, and how to live it, and be found righteous.
As I’ve said before, Islam officially allows no secularity– only, perhaps, a relaxed versus rigorist form– all the more intense when Saudi Wahabbism becomes the default for much of Islam. Liberals like Tarek Fatah and others are Westerners first, Muslims second if they allow a proper sphere for secularity, versus the practices and laws of the faith. The sacred is the big sphere, within which the smaller sphere of the secular (under God) has its own rules, laws, and practices. Bishops don’t make or enforce laws; kings aren’t supposed to command churches (contra Henry VIII). This is a Christian distinction, worked out in the European Middle Ages in the battles of crown and church.
Mohammed never made such distinctions. There is the converted world, the unconverted world, and the proper job of the Muslim is to work, fight,pay, and pray for the day when Islam rules supreme, when mullahs and ayatollahs and sultans hold sway over the peoples of the earth, ruling them by Allah’s direct will, law, and perfect word (in the Koran). The sacred is the political.
Thus for many Muslim immigrants to the West, and for ‘reverts’ or secularly-minded children and grandchildren of same who are converted to some stripe of activist Wahhabism, there are no legitimate national, state/ province or local laws. It’s the Koran, and then the temporary infidel laws which shall be swept away when Islam is supreme. So the previous 4000 years of civilization and architecture and thought and faith and justice is one big horrible detour, said Islam’s prophet. All of it: useless wrong-headed crap. The Pyramids and Egyptian monuments; Rome; the Parthenon and other Seven Wonders; all the works of Greek Drama and sculpture; Roman law and building; all that wasteful church-building.
When you think about it that way, Muhammed’s claims are far more outrageous and unlikely than those of Jesus, who said “I come not to abolish the law, but to perfect it”; and “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and unto God that which is God’s.” That is, Jesus recognized fulfilment and continuity on the one hand, and the legitimacy of earthly authority and law on the other. That’s why most Christians chose true witnessing (martyrdom) and not terrorism when threatened with death; and when not so persecuted, living another kind of life in the midst of the world: pilgrims, redeemers, servants of God and neighbour. In Rome, the saints rescued abandoned babies, cared for the sick and dying of all classes, gave for the needs of other churches and regions, and quietly went about their business passing on the faith.
Fundamentally, two principles lay behind this– first, that God’s providing and mighty hand was over all things, and bringing good out of evils, even rotten Roman Emperors and suchlike; and that God’s goodness and grace perfects nature, it does not erase and abolish and destroy it. So when Claudia is converted and baptised, she is more the Claudia than ever, having drawn into sharing the life of her God, and her fellow Christians. She must put aside sin and pagan practices, but that is– from the Christin view– to put things right side up, and to cooperate with God’s will in his remaking us and the world.
In continuing to obey the laws of Rome or local bylaws, she acknowledges a higher power behind the earthly lawgivers, who desires peace, and good things versus chaos and suffering.
Fundamentally, even when our elites are non-religious, the world we live in still operates by Judeo-Christian and classical principles: our laws, our customs and traditions, our thought– it’s the air we breathe, even if we take it all for granted. It’s part of what attracts and repels Muslim immigrants: life in the West is peaceful and rich, seen from the outside via repression and poverty.. but then from the inside, it can seem lawless, lax, chaotic and threatening to the inner life of the faithful.
We’re faced with two competing absolutisms in our era: the absolutism of the all-embracing state, versus the absolutism of the sharia jihadists. Funnily enough, that’s partly what the current Pope was saying in Regensburg before the Papal riots began over his quoting a beleaguered late-Byzantine Emperor who could see little of a constructive nature in the religion of Islam. Soft-Fascist Secularity and Supremacist Jihad are squaring up for a death-match– other religious types need not apply– and both have the character of anti-Christ in that they reject Christianity and Judaism, and Western civilization as it has grown and been lived and redeemed in Jesus over 2000 years.
This is the ‘big picture’ of out times, of which the little and medium-sized conflicts are the skirmishes and engagements in the wider war. ~
~ PLAYING WITH WORDS– What the Obama Crime Family has been doing to American car companies, banks, and related businesses– soon to include credit card companies and health-care providers– is illegal, unconstitutional, and in violation of the proper powers of the executive versus the judicial and legislative branches of American democracy. It is destructive and ideological soft-fascism pure, and simple. To complicate matters, the theories in play and the great cloud of czars involved make the chances of real economic and political disaster ever more probable.
The abuse of language in service of smiley-faced tyranny is by now an old trick of our new tyrants; so too the tired, tried, tested and failed utopian plans of state-run economies, a hollow show of democracy, great leaders, and rule by crisis. Everything dusty and blood-encrusted is new and shiny again.
Americans are being attacked by their ruling elites. Will we see a civil war? A new Federal compact? States opting out? Will Obama rule for a few years only, or take a crown and use his ACORN and offshore money to buy another election or two?

~ I HONESTLY don’t recall when World War II first entered my life– but with my maternal grandparents, it was only 20 years past when I was born: my Grandfather having served in Burma, and most of his brothers in Bomber Command, and my Grandmother’s older brother had been shot down and killed in 1943. It was always there.
~ THE DEAR LEADER of the USSA needs to answer one question: did he ever specifically deny his Muslim religion? When, where, who as witnesses? It doesn’t matter if he sat in Rev. Wright’s racist-Marxist congregation or not for 20 years: was he baptised? Has he officially confessed his Chrtistian faith?
Otherwise, Mr. Be-All-To-All-People can imagine himself a hybrid Islamo-Christan, bridging all worlds.. or, perhaps, none. After all, St. Paul said that in order to win people to Christ, he would be a Greek to the Greeks, a Jew to the Jews, and so on– but that was an evangelical strategy, not his identity.
Obama doesn’t seem to know who and what he is, spiritually. He is all things to all people, and therefore nothing to anybody. He is who it suits him and his current notions to be. That’s why the big cover-up on all the documents of his past. It would nail him down to real-world times, places, opinions, friendships.
I stand to be corrected: somebody show me paper or evidence that contradicts my suspicion.. that Obama is an apostate Muslim. ~
~ OK, SO DIDJA EVER have one of those handy-dandy back-up methods that you use to prevent losing stuff, and then all of a sudden you realize that you saved an older version of the stuff you’re working on over the latest version and you just wiped out 4 chunks of not bad commentary and 100 news links, and you can’t recall any of the commentary, and will simply have to re-dig the links again?
You’d think that after 13 years of web-mastering and 11 years of blogging, I’d be more reliable. Sigh. Looks like my foolproof system needs to be idiot-proofed.
~ IN ALL SINCERITY, I think even the most conspirazoid giant tinfoil hatted moobat truther out there cannot imagine or plumb the depths of what Obama is up to, or how low he can go.
As Morpheus says in The Matrix, “Free your mind.” Not that the POTUS is actually up to all we can imagine, but that what we might imagine can’t keep up to the whole story, if the whole truth ever comes out. No former President ever imagined the Office he was elected to the way this man does. Hopped up on Communism, racism, criminal and Chicago Machine mentality, he’s cynically bent on turning the US into the USSA, a giant criminal organization to them what stands to profit thereby.
I confess my own limitations of imagination in foreseeing what the Worst President Ever would get up to in so short a time. Stealing Chrysler? The Oval Office with an enemy list? Politicizing the smallest matters? Using racist thugs to scare voters? Nominating and shoving into office a most astonishingly bald-faced parcel of crooks, creeps, commies, and crackpots, which would make Tamanny Hall or the Mafia itself blush? Just the beginning, I fear. I put nothing beyond his smiling evil, and the connivance of his cronies– and we’d better be afraid for a stolen election in 2012, unless ACORN gets gutted, and fast.
~ THE BIGGEST LIE of all the Big Lies is the radical progressive skill of denial, blame-shifting and rewriting history to always feature themselves as the good guys. Always. Pro-Slavery anti-civil rights Democrats? That racist Goldwater! FDR? liberal balls-up, rewritten as rescue; Hitler & Mussolini? Not socialist/ communist heretics, but crypto-Republicans. Hollywood black-list? Liberal commies, later re-written as heroes. The neo-fascist 60’s revolution? Peace, love, flowers! The 1990s-2000s Lib-caused mortgage crisis? Eeeevil Wall Street! Liberal legislators to the rescue!
And it continues almost daily with the Obama retruthing machine, and a Blamocratic congress in full fairy-tale mode.
What’s for it? Conservatives must learn and insist on history, facts, and details. It’s part laziness, party timidity, part reflexive politeness and good manners not to point out that other people are bald-face retroactive liar liar pants on fire. We need to get over the good manners, the slack sleepiness, and relearn history right-side up– even when the conservatives were actually at fault, or asleep at the wheel. Let’s recall that it it was the British Tory Prime Ministers Baldwin and Chamberlain who led Europe along appeasement lane.

~ OK, SO DIDJA EVER have one of those handy-dandy back-up methods that you use to prevent losing stuff, and then all of a sudden you realize that you saved an older version of the stuff you’re working on over the latest version and you just wiped out 4 chunks of not bad commentary and 100 news links, and you can’t recall any of the commentary, and will simply have to re-dig the links again?
