What a Diff a Century Makes

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt - 26th President of the United States (1901 - 1909)
from a letter he wrote to the president of the American Defense Society on January 3, 1919.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Mamaditto has always been suspicious of multiculturalism. Hypenated Americans give me agita. When my cousin Larry in MI sent me this quote I was sooooo happy to know I was in such good company. TR has always been one of my favorites.

BTW, Mamaditto's husband is Puerto Rican and he agrees with me on this.

Humanists Rant ; Christians Analyze

   While processing the info garnered from last week's NARTH convention I was rudely interrupted by a lame bunch of atheists, courtesy of the infamous Gray Lady, aka the NY Slimes. 
   Christmas is coming, so they're at it again. Why don't they give us a break and go annoy the Muslims during Ramadan for a change?

   Here's the article:

     Now, aside from the fact that the young lady in the picture seems very unhappy for an  "evangelist" I just want to focus on the part that deals with "alarming Scripture passages." Now, acc/to atheist doctrine, God is not to be believed bec whenever Big Deity appears on the scene, stuff like this comes out:

"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” (Hos 13:16)


Let me see if I can get this straight. (I only have a rinky-dink Masters Degree, two Certificates, plus a slew of continuing education credits, so please bear with my primitive, superstitious mind.)

Hosea writes an editorial pertaining to the events of his day. He gives his assessment that rejecting God can only result in trouble.

And the problem with that is...???

Hosea got it right. Abandoning the Source for Absolute Good leaves us with no guiding moral authority (read lawlessness.)

Things haven't changed much since 730BC. "Because they have rebelled against their God" people continue to "fall by the sword" (read murder), "their little ones will be dashed to the ground" (read abuse), "their pregnant women ripped open" (abortion).

Rather than wasting money on an ads proclaiming their hatred toward the God who doesn't exist, these lost souls ought to be in therapy finding out what their problem is in dealing with authority. (Probably didn't, wouldn't or couldn't relate to their own fathers.)

No need to thank me. I'm always glad to help.
