• The latest on today’s tragic shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
• Do guns belong in church? Pastor Ken Pagano explains why he’s holding an “Open Carry Service” for his Kentucky congregation.
• Fired! Alan weighs in on the decision to strip Carrie Prejean of her Miss California USA crown.
Pastor Ken Pagano:
“Christian-Pacifism is an option, not a requirement.”
It is a fair statement and a respectable opinion. But I would say it goes to how closely you want to follow the message of Christ. If Christ is a convenient tool that morphs into any ideology you wish then the principals of pacifism can be easily rejected.
“It‘s all about what side of the muzzle your on.”
Exactly. Christians are supposed to be on the other side of the muzzle. In my view, once one has picked up a gun they have already left the spirit of Christ’s message
Under the Roman Empire Christians were thrown to the lions for refusing to fight in the army.
To stare evil in the eye, and bring nothing but love in return with what may come. These are the brave Christian soldiers of our world today. No person who wields tools of killing can make such a claim.
I do not seek to demean nor diminish the faith of others or the Pastor Ken Pagano. I only seek to share a different perspective on Christian-Pacifism.
K: “1. Strip naked and move to closet (take your curtain cord)….”
TD: Wow. You sound lika an expert. I take it you do this “thing” on a daily basis?
Pino said: So, as Obama moves detainees from Gitmo to some other detention center, how is that fundamentally different? I mean, how is one prison better than another?
K: Hold it, Pino. You must be in the lib mindset before finding the logic in this move: 1. Strip naked and move to closet (take your curtain cord). 2. Hang yourself until barely breathing (this will bring on auto-erotic fantasies). Got it? Upon achieving the necessary state of mind to TRULY comprehend the ‘difference’ between Gitmo and Podunkville prison you will thank me…

And for more fun, Obama is now having these guys have Miranda read to them.
Nice.

The museum shooter was a Freeper.
I’m “shocked”.
If you Google “James Von Brunn”, he has quite an internet trail. He’s been very busy on the internets, for a geezer.

Von Brunn “was” a Mensa member.
From the American Mensa website …
American Mensa expresses sympathies about shooting
American Mensa is distraught to hear of the violent events at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., this afternoon. Our thoughts are with the victims and the family and friends of Stephen Tyrone Johns, the security guard who was killed in the attack.
The accused shooter in this event, James Von Brunn, is a former member of American Mensa. Mr. Von Brunn was a member more than 20 years ago and his membership tenure lasted less than a year.
Mensa has more than 57,000 members across the United States and more than 110,000 members worldwide. Our members include people from all races, religions and walks of life. The organization thrives on the diversity of its members and the atmosphere of open-mindedness evident at Mensa events.
Give Mensa due props for putting the record straight. They could have followed the standard internet protocol and just pretended they’d never heard of him, scrubbing his part of their membership history, flushing him down their memory hole. You know, like the Freepers did. If not for Google cache, we’d never have known von Brunn was a Freeper.
