The Morning (NY) Sun

Several weeks back I started to receive The New York Sun on my stoop every morning. Now I don't know if this was/is some sort of special prmotion or they possibly have the wrong address, but if its the former its working as I have come to look forward to finding it on my doorstep. In fact, if the cut me off nowI just may have to subsribe. I have really come to admire the tenacity and spunk of the Sun, as well as the clarity of its Op/Ed page.

Here are two prime examples from today:

Episcopalian Swan Song

Bishop Pike, who led the Diocese of San Francisco in the 1960s, is generally regarded as the godfather of the social-activist, fringe left-wing crowd that has come to dominate the leadership of the Episcopal Church today. When he wasn't attempting to communicate with apparitions and dabbling in the occult, Bishop Pike was openly questioning heavy-duty church doctrine such as the virgin birth and the Trinity.

Inside Obama's Rhetoric

Political candidates routinely indulge in exaggeration, pandering, inconsistency, and self-serving obscurity. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. McCain do. The reason for holding Mr. Obama to a higher standard is that it's his standard and also his campaign's central theme. He has run on the vague promise of "change," but on issue after issue — immigration, the economy, global warming — he has offered boilerplate policies that evade the underlying causes of the stalemates.

Pray for Europe

Its not just the English who are losing their minds.

Dutch Catholics have re-branded the Lent fast as the "Christian Ramadan" in an attempt to appeal to young people who are more likely to know about Islam than Christianity.

Hamas Rabbit

Via Closed Cafeteria, we are brought a TV show that is pure evil.




While we must condemn this sort of barbarism, we must also pray for the Palestinian people. We must certainly pray for the conversion or enlightenment (whichever you prefer) of their hearts and minds.
While Palestinians have been quite wronged over the past 50 years, and some sort of just solution must be reached in the Holy Land (which won't happen until they turn from attacking Israelis), there will be no real and lasting peace until they turn to Christ. Islam (like Protestantism) is showing that it has reached its logical conclusion....chaos.

Berkeley to Marines: You're 'not welcome in our city'

Berkeley City Councils tells Marines to leave.

One giant sign said, "No Military Predators in Our Town." Another message on a pink placard read, "Join the Marines. Travel to Exotic Lands. Meet Exciting and Unusual People -- And Kill Them."

Zanne Joi peered out from under her straw hat. "This Marine recruiting station is trying to recruit our youth to go to Iraq to kill and be killed. And we are against that," said Joi, a member of Code Pink Women for Peace.

"This is part of a multi-pronged effort to end this war."

Protester Sharon Adams added: "This recruiting station recruits people to go fight and then once they fight and they serve their country, our country doesn't take care of them. That's a shame."

State Court Recognizes Gay Marriages From Elsewhere

"A New York appellate court ruled Friday that valid out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples must be legally recognized in New York, just as the law recognizes those of heterosexual couples solemnized elsewhere. Lawyers for both sides said the ruling applied to all public and private employers in the state."
