Amen!!!

Via Moonbattery via Gateway Pundit which has video:

Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson’s life for the past eight years; that is until last month, when Abby resigned. Johnson said she realized she wanted to leave, after watching an ultrasound of an abortion procedure.

“I just thought I can’t do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought that’s it,” said Jonhson.

She handed in her resignation October 6. Johnson worked as the Bryan Planned Parenthood Director for two years.

Johnson now supports the Coalition For Life, the pro-life group with a building down the street from Planned Parenthood. Coalition volunteers can regularly be seen praying on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Johnson has been meeting with the coalition’s executive director, Shawn Carney, and has prayed with volunteers outside Planned Parenthood.

As Moonbattery poster Gregory of Yardale adds:

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. – Acts 9:18

For more on why exactly seeing what an abortion looks like might make Abby Johnson become pro-life instead of pro-infanticide, see the following:

• Hey, Do You Think We Should We Kill Babies? – Then I inserted my forceps into the uterus and applied them to the head of the fetus, which was still alive, since fetal injection is not done at that stage of pregnancy. I closed the forceps, crushing the skull of the fetus, and withdrew the forceps. The fetus, now dead, slid out more or less intact.”

Najib: Disregard racist remarks from certain leaders

KUALA LUMPUR: Racist comments from “one or two Umno leaders” should be ignored because the majority of members in the party are not racists, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Umno president stressed that the party’s policies had always been fair, inclusive, democratic and open.

“Umno is not a racist party. From the beginning, we wanted a multiracial society. Don’t listen to one or two leaders talk; that’s different. Any party has leaders like them. But look at our policies from Day One,” he said at the opening of the Gerakan national delegates conference yesterday.

…

Umno, he said, derived its strength from the country’s racial diversity.

“That’s our uniqueness. We can celebrate our diversity,” he added.

This, he said, gave Malaysia a strategic advantage in developing diplomatic and economic ties with countries such as China, India and those in the Middle East and Asean.

Funny, I counted at least eight UMNO leaders who utter racist comments.

And if UMNO is not a ‘racist party’, then where do its title of ‘United National Malays Organization’ and focus on championing Malay supremacy fit it?

And while we’re on the subject of UMNO deriving ‘its strength from the country’s racial diversity’, can anybody tell me exactly how many non-Malay members there are in the party? Doesn’t PM Najib mean Barisan Nasional deriving strength from racial diversity? (Or perhaps, trick question: BN is basically UMNO and various lackey hangers on, so no practical difference between BN and UMNO!)

And don’t UMNO’s ‘policies from Day One’ include such totally non-discriminatory, non-racial, ethnically colourblind gems as Article 153, Article 160, the NEP and Ketuanan Melayu?

Serious, Mr. Najib… Quit trying to hammer home the ‘fact’ that UMNO is not race based. At least until you guys even bother to change the name and vision of the party! The more you try to spin it, the more nauseous we feel.

1. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. – Mark 12:29 (spoken by Jesus)

2. Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. – Exodus 34:14 (spoken by God)

3. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. – Matthew 28:9

Now follow these points of logic according to those passages above:

1. There is only one Lord God.

2. No other ‘god’ shall be worshiped.

3. Jesus allows people to worship Him.

What can we conclude from the above three statements above? To borrow from C.S. Lewis:

A) Jesus is a fake, lying and pretending to be God.

B) Jesus really thinks He is God but isn’t, so He is crazy.

C) Jesus really is God.

Christians believe conclusion C.

Some people believe that Jesus is a good man or a prophet, but not God. But if so, how can they reconcile point of logic 3? If Jesus was not God, then what was this ‘good man, prophet, but not God’ doing going around actively encouraging people to think He was?

Surely a good man or a prophet would not intentionally mislead people – even into eternal damnation! Surely you do not get moral guidance from and look up to a nutter who thinks he is Napoleon.

Only conclusion C can be reconciled with any idea of Jesus as a good, sane person.

——————

Now let’s take it further than the blog post title.

Among those who believe in Jesus, there are generally three types:

I) Believe that Jesus = God as one person with no distinction at all (Oneness doctrine)

II) Believe that Jesus = not God at all (Unitarianism, Nontrinitarianism, Islam)

III) Believe that Jesus = God as one being, but also as different persons with distinctions (part of the Trinity)

Why do I agree with type III? Consider the dilemmas posed by these Bible passages respective to the types of belief:

I) “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mark 13:32) and “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you” (John 17:1). If Jesus is the exact same person as the Father with no distinction, then why do they know different things, and why does Jesus speak to the Father as if speaking to a separate person? (Compare with the strangeness of: I said to me, “Oh me, please give respect to me so that I can give respect to me.”)

II) See the first three passages cited above along with the three points of logic. If Jesus is not in any way God, then why does He let people worship Him as God?

III) Both the dilemmas above are resolved.

And that is why Christians like me believe that Jesus is God in the Trinitarian sense.

From The Star 15 Oct 2009:

Umno is not racist: Najib

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has warned political parties to not simply accuse Umno of being racist.

Najib said parties which accused Umno of being racist should look at themselves and the reality of the racial composition in their own parties and check if it truly reflected the openess they have been espousing.

“If the Malays are truly racist as alleged, we would not have accepted the cultures of other ethnic groups which are being practised here.

“We would also not have allowed vernacular schools to be established and it would have been impossible to cooperate closely with other component parties within the Barisan Nasional over the decades,” he said in his maiden presidential address at the party’s 60th annual general assembly here on Thursday.

Najib warned those making such accusations not be so arrogant as to claim that they were multiracial parties which practised moral purity and intellectual sincerity.

Reflecting on the May 13, 1969 tragedy, Najib said Umno leaders would have chosen not to continue with democracy which had been suspended and would have instead set up a single-party government or supported a military coup d’etat.

“However, that never took place,” he said.

He said the fact that Umno had worked hard to restore democracy within 18 months from that incident clearly showed that it was not power crazy and was far from being a racist party.

Najib said the true meaning of racism would be like apartheid practised by South Africa in the past.

Even in the United States, he said blatant racism was the norm until the mid-1960s where schools, washrooms and even sitting arrangements in restaurants and buses were segregated.

“In Malaysia, the situation is different as the Malays are inclusive in nature. It is obvious that if the Malays were racist, they would not have allowed Malacca to be a prosperous entreport in the 15th century,” he added.

Um, hello… United Malays National Organization?

Committed to being protector and champion of ketuanan Melayu?

Party of Ahmad ‘Pendatang’ Ismail, Kerismuddin and various other race baiters?

In fact, didn’t Najib himself recently condemn UMNO, MCA and MIC as ‘ethnic prisons’?

And as for the much ballyhooed South African apartheid:

This is a follow up to my earlier calculations that Bush’s War saved 600,000 Iraqi lives.

Three quarters of a million Iraqis saved by Bush!

On 14 October 2009, the Associated Press reported that Iraq’s government had finally released their figures for the death toll. A report by the Human Rights Ministry said that from the beginning of 2004 to 31 October 2008, a period of 58 months, 85,694 Iraqis were killed – a rate of 1,477.5 deaths per month. No Americans, insurgents or foreigners are included in the figure.

(This is significantly lower than my earlier calculation of 98,882 Iraqi deaths over 57 months using the Iraq Body Count project estimate – a rate of 1,734.8 deaths per month.)

And thanks to the US Troop Surge and the Anbar Awakening where the Iraqis turned against Al Qaeda, the situation in Iraq is far more stable today.

The Iraqi defence, interior and health ministries estimate that from 1 November 2008 to 31 August 2009, there were just 3,045 Iraqi casualties – a rate of just 304.5 deaths per month. (For comparison, the murder rate in peacetime South Africa currently stands at 1,512.3 deaths per month, higher than even wartime Iraq.)

Taken together, this means that 88,739 Iraqis were killed over the past 68 months – a rate of 1,305 deaths per month. Bear in mind that these deaths were overwhelmingly caused by terrorist attacks while the ‘evil US occupation soldiers’ were giving their own lives to protect Iraqi civilians.

Compare this to Saddam Hussein’s reign. From July 16, 1979 to April 9, 2003 and focusing on just six war crime events listed by US War Crimes Ambassador David J. Scheffer, there were an estimated 865,000 Iraqi deaths over 285 months – a rate of 3,035.1 deaths per month.

And compare to the Bill Clinton-era embargo that followed: From Aug 6, 1990 to Aug 6, 1999 the United Nations estimated one million Iraqi civilians died over 108 months as a result of the sanctions – a rate of 9,259.3 deaths per month.

Thus, Saddam Hussein’s death rate was 2.33 times greater than Bush’s. Clinton’s death rate was 7.1 times greater than Bush’s.

So if Bush’s invasion had not ended both Saddam’s rule and the embargo, we can estimate that from the period of 1 January 2004 to 31 August 2009, a total of 206,387 + 629,632 = 836,019 Iraqis would have died.

Taken against the actual figure of just 88,739 deaths during that period, we can determine that 747,280 fewer Iraqi lives have been lost due to ‘Bush’s war of aggression’.

So did Bush invade Iraq based on faulty reasoning about weapons of mass destruction? Indubitably. Did he act unilaterally without the approval of the United Nations? Indisputably. Did his actions directly lead to a massive campaign by terrorists to make the lives of Iraqis living hell? Unfortunately.

But did Bush’s decision to invade Iraq turn out for the good in the end?

For the answer to that, perhaps we should ask one of the three quarters of a million Iraqis who are alive today due to his ‘warmongering’.

——————————-

See also the difference in estimations from this chart from Something should go here, maybe later, which explains why Bush was so (unjustly) vilified:

Two of the people I would like to shake the hands of, pose for a photo and get an autograph from – George W. Bush and General David Petraeus, both for what they have done for the people of Iraq.

Not only have Bush’s actions saved 750,000 innocent Iraqis… They have simultaneously killed tens of thousands of murderous terrorists, thus making the whole world safer.

PS. Note that Obama would have retreated from Iraq and had no qualms about allowing a genocide to take place.

A guy who supported genocide, versus a guy who saved 750,000 lives. Who do you think wins the Nobel Peace Prize?

From The Star 13 Oct 2009:

Six members of armed gang nabbed

JOHOR BARU: Six members of an armed theft gang, believed to be behind 41 cases in the city, have been caught.

The gang members, aged between 18 and 37, were usually armed with parang.

Police first arrested two men in Stulang Laut at 3.30am on Sept 26. One of them hid a parang under his jacket.

The motorcycle seized from them carried fake registration plates and were stolen in Johor Jaya.

Further investigations led to the arrest of the other four in Kangkar Pulai.

Also confiscated were four parang, a baton, a knife, a Honda EX5 motorcycle, two ladies’ handbags and one plastic bag containing identification documents of the victims.

Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Shariff said the group had been involved in 41 snatch thefts and robbery cases around the city in the past eight months.

In another case, police arrested two siblings and seized a gun and 10 bullets from them.

The siblings, aged 27 and 40, were arrested at 2.10pm on Sept 30. One of them had seven previous criminal records. DCP Mohd Mokhtar said police also arrested two other men, aged 29 and 30, for possession of five toy guns.

“The suspects were arrested in Skudai on Sept 30,” he said, adding that one of the suspects had a conviction for murder.

His pandering to the UN, gently petting terrorists and their regimes, cozying up to dictators, keeping mum while civilians die, quietly letting Iran get nukes, and apologizing to the world for America for 9 months has paid off – Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Recall that unlike the science Prizes, the Nobel Peace Prize winner is decided by just five liberals who hail from uber-liberal Norway:

three of them would be considered hard-left liberals in American politics. One of those belongs to Norway’s Socialist Left party. And all five people on the committee are politicians selected by the Norwegian parliament, and generally hew to a Norwegian view of foreign affairs — internationalist in outlook and with a broad affinity for Obama’s posture on the world stage.

This award is perfectly matched to Obama after the farce that was Nobel Peace Prize Winner Al Gore (similarly opposes capitalist lifestyle while being filthy rich) and past winners like Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter (similarly is no friends of Israel).

Meanwhile at home, he is driving his country (and his opinion ratings) into the ground.

So congratulations Obama! You’ve earned it (really!). By plowing America into the dirt, you’ve ingratiated yourself to everyone who isn’t America!

Oh, and… Good luck with that home crowd.

Wah ka ka ka! I actually mulled over it but decided not to blog about Dr. M’s latest selectively amnesiac ranting learned opinion.

From The Star 8 Oct 09 Opinions:

Dr M did not practise what he is preaching

HOW very refreshing to read the call by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for Malay students to enrol in institutions of higher learning with equal racial breakdown if they want to gain a competitive edge.

How right he is that if Malay students wish to attain superlative academic achievements, they must compete with others.

I wish Dr Mahathir had preached and practised this principle when he was Education Minister and then Prime Minister for 22 years.

I remember how I was chided for being “politically incorrect” and “acting against national interest” when I had used the same argument in advocating that a mere 10% of non-Malay students be admitted into my university’s Matriculation programme in the late 70s.

DATUK SHAROM AHMAT,

Penang.

Don’t act surprised, Datuk Sharom Ahmat!

Dr. M is a renowned hypocrite on plenty of things.

But you can probably get away with blasting him in the media due to your status, ke ke ke!

PS. Meanwhile, another reader complains about the price of imported cars… Another poke in Mahathir’s eye!

Tut tut, The Star… Just because the days of Ops Lalang are over! Ha ha ha!

I was watching Apocalypse: The Second World War on National Geographic the other day. The episode covered the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.

It was full of cool footage of tanks, artillery and even Siberian soldiers firing their submachine guns while skiing down a slope at high speed! But one image struck me in particular.

A little girl lay dead, her body sprawled halfway on the street and halfway on the kerb, face solid frozen over with ice.

Imagine if that were your own little child.

This was during the horrific Siege of Leningrad, where the Nazis simply bombarded the city with artillery fire and waited for the populace and defenders to starve and freeze to death… For 872 days. (Note however that Stalin too was a similarly genocidal starvation-monger.)

Other photos of that brutal period at here.

These diary entries from that fateful time about sum it up:

Zhenya died on Dec. 28th at 12:30 A.M. 1941[2]

Grandma died on Jan. 25th 3:00 P.M. 1942

Leka died on March 5th at 5:00 A.M. 1942

Uncle Vasya died on Apr. 13th at 2:00 after midnight 1942

Mother on May 13th at 7:30 A.M. 1942

Savichevs died.

Everyone died.

Only Tanya is left.

Imagine if that were your own family, your own little Tanya.

Now if a nation were known to be strong, powerful and very dangerous in wartime, would that not be a major deterrent to potential aggressors? Japan had to think thrice before deciding to attack America in World War II.

This is why Ronald Reagan believed in ““Peace Through Strength”.

This is why American Conservatives support the Second Amendment and gun rights. Not just for protection against crime and maniacal murderers, but also for protection from those who would seek to rule over them by force – including, perhaps, even their own government. (As the Kraków Jews learnt too late.)

In my earlier, more naive times, I thought it stupid for nations to spend so much on their military. Why raise armies for war? Wouldn’t the vast amounts of money be better spent on education, infrastructure and so on.

How foolish I was.

Liberals are still that naive. They scream and spit and slur at military men and women, even though those are the same “rough men stand (who) ready to do violence on their behalf”.

And if they have their way, one day they too may come face to face with their own Siege of Leningrad.

From The Star 7 Oct 2009:

Police detain bogus cop who extorted from students

JOHOR BARU: A man who had impersonated a policeman to extort money from university students was detained after campus security guards in Taman University stopped him for questioning.

They found that the man in police uniform had a fake identification card.

They then alerted the police who later found a police vest in his car.

The suspect, in his 20s, had been targeting those out on dates on the campus grounds within Taman Universiti here.

Investigations revealed that the man was high on the police wanted list for numerous cases of impersonation and extortion in the state.

In an unrelated case, a man who just completed serving time for his involvement in a murder was arrested for possession of several toy pistols in Taman Tun Aminah.

He and another man were detained several days ago when a patrol car stopped them as they were behaving suspiciously in a car.

It is learnt that a knife was found in the car and ski masks and several toy guns were recovered during a subsequent raid at their home.

In yet another unrelated case, policemen from the Johor Baru (North) district police headquarters arrested a man in his 20s for possession of a gun and bullets.

Policemen stopped the suspect in Skudai and later recovered the gun at his home.

The suspects in all the cases have since been remanded and investigations were on-going.

Those with information on the cases are to contact 07-2212999.
