Nativity of John the Baptist

Today's the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ by preaching repentance. Part of that included attacking Herod for his sexual profligacy, which ended in the Baptist's martyrdom. 

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone

We saw a similar kind of witness the other day, when Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco was vilified for daring to stand up publicly and defend marriage as something that only occurs between men and women. This, according to Nancy Pelosi and a host of other government officials, to say nothing of Episcopalian church leaders, was tantamount to hate speech. 

Nancy Pelosi Space Creature

You get the impression that the advocates for tolerance and inclusion would have liked nothing better than to have delivered the Archbishop's head on a platter to the nearest Integrity office. Despite that, Cordileone didn't stand stand down and delivered his message at the National march for marriage. 

John the Baptist

I suspect that John the Baptist would have used stronger language, but still, well done Archbishop. Predictably not well done, Pelosianites.

Here's the Collect for the day:

ALMIGHTY God, by whose providence thy servant John Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of thy Son our Saviour by preaching repentance; Make us so to follow his doctrine and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and after his example constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

God bless,

The Government Is Your Friend!

The Government is your Friend 

Last year saw a big push by the Government and it's willing lackey, Piers "New World Order" Morgan, to ban guns. Hand in your firearms, they argued, and the State will look after you, just like it's going to do with your health!

Trust the State!

America wasn't convinced by this Himmlerian logic and bought guns in record numbers; smart move, arm up, but please stop hoarding .22LR because we need readily accessible plinking ammo. Sayin'.

Demented Space Creature

Also, as LL reminds us, do the exact opposite of anything Nancy Pelosi recommends, this will help you. Likewise, as we move into 2014, only fight wars as a last resort and fight to win. 

Ride on,

The State Is Your Friend.

Nice Little Bass

I got up at a ridiculously early hour, braved Battle of Britain traffic to get to church, said Mass, had a coffee, went to a lake and caught a fish. I feel somehow pleased with that progression. 

The State Loves You

It would have been better, obviously, if I'd managed to shoot something, but all good things in their time.

Dementor

Less pleasing is the new comsymp lib/progressivist dinner party trick of referring to the Government as our "Federal Family." What? Look here, you lot, the State isn't your friend. It can't be, because it's not a person. Neither, of course, is Nancy Pelosi, but we've known that for years.

Speaking of which, when will the Lord call her "back home"?

Cheers,

You Lying Frenchman

France's former "budget minister", the improbably named Jerome Cahuzac, has admitted to being caught up in a "spiral of lies." Lies about what? About his secret Swiss Bank account, of course. Question; did he party with Dominique Strauss Kahn and the rest of the NWO satanists?

Here in America, our politicians are scrupulously honest. Obviously, just look at them.

Ole Shifty

There's Ole Shifty himself, our ruler, and his BFF, Hillary "Pants" Clinton. 

Pants Clinton

And let's not forget Nancy and her reptilian friend Joe! 

demented space creature

Honest.

As the day is long.

O Lord, make haste to help us.
