Pro Libertate: The "New Police Professionalism": Serious Christians Need Not Apply

Pro Libertate: The "New Police Professionalism": Serious Christians Need Not Apply
While I am NOT sympathetic to x-ians getting canned for their moral fiber, I do hate injustice in any form. Of course, this is another case of a x-ian throwing in the persecuted x-ian card. However, despite that argument, this is really about this cop getting fired for doing his job. Literally. He was protecting and serving. Basically, this old frail man was smacking his woman around. So, the po-po show up to arrest him. Okay. This old man was going to his car carrying his keys and a cup of coffee. Ooooh, dangerous. Out of nowhere, this cop's partner tackles this old man and asks this cop to taser this old frail man, who was not resisting arrest in any way. Well, this cop wouldn't do it. It was not just against his moral fiber religiously, but also he was thinking about the US constitution, and THE DEPARTMENTS OWN REGULATIONS. That's right, he was following the rules of his own department! He didn't believe in excessive force! What a concept! Finally a cop that does the right thing and he gets fired for it! Cheers to the cop and a big 'FUCK YOU' to the police department he worked for!

The reason for the season

Ahhh, x-mas: that wonderful season of hypocrisy for most of the civilized world!
'Tis the season when most people give more to charities and act all sweet and caring. Then you go to the store and they fight you for that last have-to-have-for-the-kid toy and about run you over with their car on your way home all while shouting not-so-jolly four-letter words. Then they go home to their family and friends and talk and sing about the "real" reason for the season which is their beloved baby jesus. Well, fuck baby jesus! Why? Because the story of baby jesus isn't even original! That's right! The most beloved story in all of christianity isn't original! Here is one MAJOR reason: The Egyptian god Horus. The stories of Horus and jesus are almost identical and Horus' story was centuries before the supposed baby jesus existed!
----> Jesus as a reincarnation of Horus
----> Jesus as a reincarnation of Mithra
That's right! The stories of Jesus and the Persian deity Mithra are almost identical as well!
And if you count that the New Testament was ordered by Constantine, the odds for the x-mas story of baby jesus being true are slim and next to negative aleph-null.
Your baby jesus had nothing to do with December 25. Two other deities claimed it before him. Also, if you read your fucking bible, the circumstances described in the x-mas stories show that he would've been born in Summer and nowhere in the bible does it mention December or December 25. Throw that bible away or burn it. It's worthless!
So, seasons greetings and happy winter solstice!
So, I'll just stick with "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Winter Solstice!"

Texas Science Curriculum Director Canned for Mentioning Evolution | Wired Science from Wired.com
I am so sick of seeing this kind of article! I seriously don't get it. Do US republicans and religious folk want a second Dark Ages? Both types of people are actively trying to suppress science and reason! Guess what? Humans have already tried societies dominated by religion! What did it get us? The Dark Ages? It was a horrible period of stagnant thought and no science advancement. But, for some reason, those two kinds of people want to undo about 600 years of science and return to that point of ignorant bliss. Next thing you know they will be challenging the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, the freezing point of water, or how babies are made! How far will they go? I really don't want to find out! Religion needs to die! It breeds nothing good! The best countries to live in, with regards to tolerance, public health, happiness, FREEDOM, etc., are the least religious or atheist. The countries that trail those are all religious. The more religious, the worse it is. Wake up sheeple!!!

University to Teach 'Intelligent Design' as Myth | LiveScience

University to Teach 'Intelligent Design' as Myth | LiveScience
Finally, they are labeling it for what it is!
Okay, for those who don't get it, here is the deal. ID supporters call evolution just a theory and ID is another theory and should be given just as much credibility. ID is simply creationism without naming the deity who did the creating. They did this to get past the separation of church and state laws and get creationist ideas taught in school science classes. Science is a method to find truth in the natural world. It is a method that weeds out ideas for which there is no evidence. It involves a hypothesis, experimentation, observation, documenting the results, and must be able to be repeated. Now, ID supporters play on the average person's stupidity using the word theory. What they SHOULD use is hypothesis for what they mean to say. But they can't. A hypothesis is simply a statement of an idea about how something works or an observation. A hypothesis would be: The sky is green. Okay, so experiment and go outside and see if the sky is really green. Not green, is it? So you document your finding and others can repeat your experiment. You find that the sky is blue. Others can read your work and verify that the sky is really blue.
Now a THEORY is a hypothesis that has been experimented upon, supported with evidence, and results verified, over and over again. Can you call ID a theory? Fuck no! It's not science! ID is simply a hypothesis with NO EVIDENCE and cannot be observed! It is a hypothesis!
Is evolution a theory! Yes! That is science. It has been observed, documented, and there are tons of evidence to support it.
So why not call it a law? Well, a law has to be proven to be correct in all cases. Like the Newton's laws of gravity or motion. Proofs have been written for those that prove the theory for all cases of possibility. So if evolution is the answer then why not call it a law? Well, the term law isn't thrown around easily. Many of the "laws" of science have mathematical proofs or other kinds of proofs. I'm not good at explaining it so if you need further clarification of what constitutes a law of science, expand your mind and read a book about it. But the point is the term law isn't given to many things. Some are trying to give evolution law status, but it is not easy. A true scientific theory must be supported by evidence of some kind, observable, and able to be reproduced. You can basically substitute the word "fact" for theory in most cases to get a clearer picture. ID has no evidence, no observation. It is not, therefore, a scientific theory. It is a hypothesis, just like saying the sky is green.

U.S. Concentration Camps

U.S. Concentration Camps
Yep, that's correct. You thought concentration camps went out of fashion? Think again. It doesn't really hit home until you see the pictures of the 500,000 plastic coffins. You heard me. There are links on that page to all of the laws that make this possible. The most damning is the Military Commissions Act of 2006. It is now law. The voting has been done. It is law and on the books. If you don't believe me, look and read for yourself. Go ahead. I dare you. If I'm wrong then you have nothing to be afraid of. So go ahead. If you think I'm wrong then it is all bullshit. So go ahead. Read it all.
Oh, yeah. You wonder how the government keeps "losing" billions of dollars every year and doesn't know where it went? Here's a good hypothesis.

Israel | A Jewish Defector Warns America: Benjamin Freedman speaks

Israel | A Jewish Defector Warns America: Benjamin Freedman speaks
I do not HATE anybody because of their ethnicity. So don't derive that from this post. Have you ever asked why the US gives so much money and so many weapons to Israel, ignoring all the wrong they do to other people? Have you ever wondered just WHY the nazis hated them and when that started? Have you ever wondered just WHY the US will protect Israel to no end? Well, here you go. Take a close look at this little history lesson. All of this history has been known for years. It's nothing new. But, it takes clearer form in this speech from 1961. Again, I don't hate people because of their ethnicity and I don't advocate hate. I think we should all live together as one race: the human race. We should all live in peace. I know, it'll never happen. Well, truly, the only way to have world peace is to ditch religion. Once we do that, we will all strive to help each other make the best of our time here. That's another rant.

18 USC 241

18 USC 241

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;...

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Okay. That means there is NO retroactive immunity for the Bush administration or telecom companies for spying against US citizens. Also, all of these protests where people have followed the law and were still harassed or arrested are examples of this law and those people need to sue. I am amazed at how most US citizens aren't angry at our political system being the joke that it is. Our own government is more of a threat to our freedoms than the imaginary terrorists that they say are coming for us.
