This preview's about Ron Luce and his militarized Christian group "Battle Cry"---"Armed with faith and prepared for battle" ..." against the evils of secular society and pop culture," Battle Cry's members are taught by their leader Ron Luce that they must retake America from those he ironically refers to as the "virtue terrorists that are destroying our kids" ... "raping virgin teenage America on the sidewalk."

Reminds me of Jesus Camp, but on a larger scale....Being brought up Catholic---I'm not an anti-religion guy---although I think the Dobson's have perverted it to the point that they have created more hostility towards religion than ever before. I always aim my criticisms at these leaders who make a fortune off of the backs of their members and not to spirituality or religious belief.

Pam:

Even as he tells kids to swear off pop culture, Luce doesn't swear off capitalism, cashing in for Jesus by making money selling Battle Cry books, t-shirts, and videos...read on

It's only 356 days until the Iowa Caucus. Just saying.

Democracy NOW!: Bill Moyers: "The greatest challenge to the plantation mentality of the media giants is the innovation and expression made possible by the digital revolution." (H/t Largest Minority). And Shakes has a great vid from Geena Davis on gender and media.

Orcinus: Rush and the new racism

HOLY CRAP: Holier than thou Senator Sam Brownback decides the day after announcing that he'll pull his money out of Sudan, a country engaging in genocide—a nation, by the way, that harbored Osama bin Laden! And we won't even mention that thing about the Virgin Mary appearing as an ice pop in a meat freezer in Morton, Texas.

A real virgin birth to report...

I'm re-posting this as a reminder.

Bill Napoli's SD virgin rant: 3-6-06

Digby wrote about this last week from this PBS show. It's always much more powerful listening and seeing the people who promote these draconian positions.

BILL NAPOLI: A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.

When you hear Napoli's little monologue, he sounds like a man from one of those Satanic cult movies.

There are a lot of people in South Dakota that are against the Napoli Agenda. Show them some love.

President George W. Bush was notified at his Crawford, Texas ranch that a U.S.-bound Virgin Atlantic flight had been diverted over the ocean after authorities received what turned out to be a false hijacking alert, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Bush was clearing brush when he was notified following procedures put into place after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, McClellan told reporters...

Madison man allegedly used Bible to justify rape

This perverted barbarian started molesting a girl when she was 11, telling her that the Bible said it was okay.
I checked, by the way. The Biblical punishment for this is actually that he has to marry her. (Assuming that she wasn't engaged to be married; raping an engaged virgin is punishable by death.) Yeah, that'll show him. Good thing that our judicial system isn't based on the Mosaic law code, despite what some people say.

JUMPIN JACK FLASH     MaxSpeak, You Listen!

I'm at Jack's place. The Social Security Trustees' report was supposed to be up at 11:30 a.m., and so far it's 20 minutes late.

Now it's up, here, and Snow's press release is here.

Some minor cookery in view: they bumped the two key years back one each, so they can say, look, things are gittin worse. The Trust Fund cash deficit is presumed to begin in 2017 instead of 2018, and the Fund's assets exhausted in 2041 instead of 2042. The actuarial imbalances get marginally larger, as predicted here this morning. The only question is how they jigger the assumptions, which evidently they do, albeit to minor effect.

Newsmags' kibosh on Christmas

BY ADAM LISBERG
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Just in time for Christmas, America's two largest news magazines devote this week's cover stories to debunking the story of Jesus' birth.

Among the conclusions in Time and Newsweek: Jesus was born in Nazareth, not Bethlehem; there is little evidence of three kings following a star, and the story of the virgin birth may have been borrowed.The Nativity saga is neither fully fanciful nor fully factual but a layered narrative of early tradition and enduring theology," Newsweek writes in examining the Sunday-school version of the birth of Christ.

This may be unwelcome "news" to most Americans. A Newsweek poll found that 55% of Americans believe every word in the Bible is literally true, 67% believe the entire Christmas story is literally true and 79% believe Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary with no human father.

This will drive the cable news arena all week.
Here comes Falwell and Dobson and every other Christian coalition group to be back on the air, front and center to protest these articles.
