C. S. Lewis in "The Screwtape Letters" describes the real agenda of Saturday Night Life's “humor.” In Lewis' book his character, an senior evil spirit says: But Flippancy is the best of all. In the first place it is very economical. Only a clever human can make a real Joke about virtue, or indeed about anything else; any of them can be trained to talk as if virtue were funny. Among flippant people the Joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it; but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have already found a ridiculous side to it. If prolonged, the habit of Flippancy builds up around a man the finest armour-plating against the Enemy [God] that I know, and it is quite free from the dangers inherent in the other sources of laughter. It is a thousand miles away from joy; it deadens, instead of sharpening, the intellect; and it excites no affection between those who practice it.

-Updated November 16, 2017- In their hypocrisy, the media and Washington elite after liberal Al Franken's proven sexual assault do not politely ask him to step down, but conservative Roy Moore because of unproven allegations is commanded to step down. (It seems that Moore may have committed legal odd acts, that is date woman under age 18, but so far the only solid evidence of sexual misconduct, the signed yearbook, appears to be a fabrication.) The elite's hypocrisy and rape of the American public's mind began a long time ago before the Moore/Franken double standard. Below is a example of how creepy Franken has been raping the American public's mind for a long time with his sleazy "humor." “[Radio host Al] Franken also imitated a priest giving Communion, saying "Body of Christ" when an imagined pedophile priest was in line but "not for you" when pro-choice politicians came up,” according to Michael Goodwin of the New York Daily N...

http://jameshartlinereport.blogspot.com/2008/11/racism-bigotry-are-big-components-of.html Racism & Bigotry Are Big Components of Gay Leaders Fighting Prop. 8 The Hypocrites Are Finally Showing All Of Their True Rainbow Colors, except the black color, that is. Of all the many benefits that are now coming out of the passage of Prop. 8, there is one that is more gratifying then most: Gay activist leaders are finally letting their guard down so that their well-hidden and hideous racism and bigotry is finally starting to leak out. I always knew it was there. Before I finally left the homosexual lifestyle for good nearly ten years ago, I was a long time witness to the grave racism that drives most white-dominated gay communities. I can recall many, many gay bars that went out of their way to make black men uncomfortable and unwanted. I have seen many black men who have been cast to the curb when seeking to have their say at the table of community and political discourse within elitist ho...

It is now the hour to stay in peace in God's presence. We must pray and do penance (big or little). The Father, Son and Holy Spirit is in control. I'll most likely be closing all my blogs except the Catholic Monitor. God is our refuge and we all must be and get closer to Him in this hour. Fred

-I also believe that he is a carrier of a deadly moral virus, indeed a kind of anti-apostle spreading concepts and agendas that are not only anti-Christ but anti-human as well. In this sense he is of the spirit of Antichrist (perhaps without knowing it), and probably is one of several key figures in the world who (knowingly or unknowingly) will be instrumental in ushering in the time of great trial for the Church under its last and worst persecution, amidst the numerous other tribulations prophesied in the books of Daniel and Revelation, and letters of St Paul, St. John, and St. Peter.

http://www.lifenews.com/nat4527.html Barack Obama's Abortion Position Could Result in Closing Catholic Hospitals by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor November 2, 2008 Email RSS Printer Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Barack Obama told Planned Parenthood in July 2007 that the first piece of legislation he would sign would be the so-called Freedom of Choice Act, a bill that would overturn pro-life laws nationwide. One little-discussed aspect of the ramifications of the bill could see the closing of Catholic hospitals. The FOCA bill has been a priority of abortion advocacy groups since the Clinton administration, when pro-life advocates were successful in fending it off. Given the prospects of a White House and Congress controlled by abortion advocates, the potential for resurrecting the bill has caused considerable concern within pro-life circles. Both sides of the abortion debate readily admit the measure makes unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy a national law and legal r...

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=79411 Yes, Barack Obama really is a Manchurian candidate By David Kupelian October 29, 2008 © 2008 WorldNetDaily "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." – Abraham Lincoln As Election Day rapidly approaches, many Americans are wondering why so many of their countrymen reject a genuine war hero with decades of experience, one whose pro-life, limited-government values pretty much reflect those of Middle America. Instead, these same countrymen are enthralled with a man who not only has no experience or qualifications for the job, but who is, in fact, the most radically left-wing major-party presidential candidate of our lifetime, having been mentored and supported for decades by terrorists (Ayers), communists (Davis), America-hating racists (Wright) and criminals (Rezko). Doesn't make much sense, does it? After all, in past presiden...

From: www.unitypublishing.com Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For McCain By True Catholics I am so disgusted with my Holy Roman Catholic Church that I have lost all faith that we, as Catholics, will do the right, moral thing in these coming elections, the most important elections in the history of the United States of American, that may soon become the USSA, the Union of Socialist Soviet America. Even though true Catholics (about 10% of pretend Catholics) have spoken out in a loud voice regarding the upcoming election, as you will read below, I have lost faith in Catholics. Even though about 20 brave bishops have spoken out in a loud voice regarding the moral sin involved in our vote, I have lost faith in Catholics because 130 Bishops have remained silent. Even though thousands of true Catholics are organizing prayer novenas for this upcoming election, the most important in the history of the entire world, I have lost faith in Catholics, because we, inside the Catholic Church, have been in a ...
