Cartoons |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I’m voting for #7 this week, because it honestly seems pretty realistic.
Obama and Scott Walker should hang out – they could but use some Bible research time.
Ha, ha, ha. #7 is just exactly like Obama’s arrogance. It was also the funniest one this week for me.
Bring me up to speed on this, please….
So, Pres. Obama misquoted the Bible? Was he talking off-prompter, or are there no Christians on his speech-writing & proof-reading staff?
Did Gov. Walker mis-quote Scripture at some point?
Obama was speaking on immigration, and in the course of the speech said: “The good book says, don’t throw stones in glass houses…or…make sure we’re looking at the log in our eye before we are pointing out the mote in other folks’ eyes.”
Scott Walker said ““It’s probably not fair to ask the son of a preacher to use biblical metaphors…My reading of the Bible finds plenty of reminders that it’s better to teach someone to fish than to give them fish if they’re able. . . . Caring for the poor isn’t the same as taking money from the federal government to lock more people into Medicaid.”
I enjoy the thought of glass houses in Biblical times – those would have been awesome.
I also enjoy the irony that Obama actually gave away fish to a crowd multiple times.
Stupid politicians…
Oh yeah…. I remember reading that. “Obama feeds the Five Thousand.”
Torture is never acceptable in a civilised society. You cannot support torture and be a Christian. Don’t take my word for it: Instead read what Pope St John Paul II said about it.
Catholic blogs are buzzing like hornets over the evil of torture and quoting St. John Paul the Great:

Hi Del, 1:44PM
Wasn’t that with 5 loaves of bread as well? Some accounts say it was 7.
Obama borrowed those loaves and fishes from the next generation of children.
He will avoid paying the children back by seeing them killed before they are born…. a little trick he learned from King Herod.
Del –
I’m pretty sure Obama will be out of office in a couple of years, and then we’ll have a bunch of Presidents in the row who will, well, have the exact same results.
They are going to give us multiplications of free fishes?
They are going to trample roughshod over our religious freedom and make us pay for contraception and abortions?
They are going to overrule our Congress with executive orders?
I’m pretty sure that nobody wants the Bush-Obama era to continue. We want to stop the pile-on of debt and the pile-on of mandates. But yes… A lot of people still look to Washington for political solutions to our social problems, so we may get what we don’t want.
I think this is the best group of cartoons here, ever.
Seanus: Torture is never acceptable in a civilised society. You cannot support torture and be a Christian. Don’t take my word for it: Instead read what Pope St John Paul II said about it.
It’s going to depend on what the definition of “torture” is, often. Whether one is a Christian or not, or even if one is the Pope, you gotta admit that there are some quite serious large-scale movements going on now in the world as far as terrorism, and as far as people who don’t at all play by “our rules.”
In the US, we had 9-11, but by and large we don’t feel “under siege.” If we did, our responses and procedures would be ratcheted up quite a bit. If you think some “bad stuff” has been done, well, you ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.
President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale.
–Alberto Gonzales, Bush Jr’s Attorney General, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Hi Doug,
Uh…yeah. LOL, that’s right up there with Biden saying Franklin Roosevelt went on TV to address the nation when the stock market crashed during his presidency.
Does anyone realize torture is a really really ineffective way to get information out of someone? You are a lot more likely to get out whatever information the subject thinks you want to hear to make the pain stop. The most effective way to get information is………. Pretend to befriend them! Get them a mocha, sit down and chat about their families, etc. Multiple studies have shown this. It’s the way human nature works.
Jack, yes, sometimes it is that way. And other times, that doesn’t work and then other actions are taken. Regardless of where one would draw the line as to what is ‘acceptable’ at this point, I am saying that overall, there is a lot of room for public opinion to change.
