Not as bad off as Americans being probed by law enforcement

Nearly 30 Men Receive Some of the Worst News Possible Following Invasive Medical Exams | Video | TheBlaze.com.

About 30 patients got bad news from Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center after errors in the sterilization process of their ultrasound probes.  Twenty seven men who had prostate exams this past fall got letters from the center, suggesting that they undergo testing for Hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV.

Pharmer thinks that those patients are not facing as serious a risk as those Americans who are being probed on the side of the road, or at airports by “officials” who don’t wash their hands or change gloves between gropings.

Are You Wearing Camo to Church?

Conservative organizations such as Clash Daily are encouraging supporters of Phil Robertson to wear camo to church in solidarity, on Sunday, Dec 22.   Why not do it repeatedly?

Solidarity with Phil

Getting the jump on the occasion,  Yours truly wore camo to the 4:00PM Saturday Mass, and will remain so highly fashionable this weekend while Christmas shopping in the city.  There’s an extra reason to support Phil Robertson, a matter of giving back.  The Evangelical and the Fundamentalist Christians were quick to offer solidarity and support when your friendly Pharmer was fired at almost the same time of year, 12/19, (exactly 2 years before Clinton was impeached)  for refusing to dispense an abortive drug.

Senator Lindsey Graham Faces Tea Party Challenge

At this point, there are four tea party candidates set to challenge Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been long thought to be Democrat Lite by conservatives. Since South Carolina is a runoff state, a strategy for each challenger to garner as much support as possible, and then agree to support the lead candidate in a final race, could topple Graham.

Is it just Pharmer’s hallucination, or do Lindsey and Angela look like sisters, separated early in life?

Fundraiser for Teacher Fired for being Pro-Life

Pharmer has been transmitting the story of Bill Diss, the Portland Oregon high school math/computer science teacher, who was fired from his teaching job for opposing Planned Parenthood. Click above for the stories.

Jimmy Nolan is fundraising for Mr. Diss, to help him fight the school board’s decision to fire him. If you’d like to help, the donation link is embedded below.

Update:  12/17/13  Portland Public School District has dismissed Mr. Diss from his position, based upon his religious and ethical beliefs that abortion is wrong.   This dismissal comes despite his being the only teacher  in the state who is qualified to teach college level computer science to H.S. students for dual credit. Life Legal Defense Foundation intends to pursue further defense of Mr. Diss’s civil rights in this matter.

Phil Painted A&E Into a Corner

Duck  -Roasted Duck Drudge 12-19-13

A&E execs are the losers, that’s for sure. Pharmer thinks their self destruction has been pre-ordained. If it had not been touched off by the G Q interview of Phil’s it would have been his next, or the one after that. He’s going to let A&E do themselves in.
Pharmer would like to congratulate Phil Robertson for getting it done. He has probably been tired of A&E’s management of the show, and the general encroachment of the show on the rest of his time. By this time, Phil and his family could do the kind of shows that they want, better and more efficiently than A&E. The Robertson family is made up of smarter people than the A&E execs, as exemplified by their painting that network into a totally LOSING situation.
After Duck Dynasty, A&E will shrink to nothing, (look at the rest of their programming to see why), and Duck Commander will forge on, bigger than ever.
Incidentally, not all of the gay people are needing or wanting the kind of “defense” that comes from A&E, or the nuts from GLAAD. Plenty of them realize that killing free speech of those who don’t agree with homosexual acts, can eventually lead to their own loss of personal freedom. Social trends and fashions are always in a state of flux. The First Amendment is a good thing for everybody.

A & E’s Big Stink Concerning Phil Robertson Proves Leftist’s Comprehension Deficit

The inability of leftists to process language is exemplified by the big stink being raised by activist groups, and the decision by A&E Network to suspend Phil Robertson from the Duck Dynasty Show.

GLAAD and other leftist groups are whining a claim that Phil compared their sexual activities to bestiality.   There is no such comparison.   The statement which they could not understand audibly or in writing, was a listing of various  practices (some of them not even pertaining to sex)  which Christians regard as sinful.

The source of controversy comes from Phil’s interview with GQ Magazine from which these quotes were obtained.

First is a list of sexual practices which Christians are instructed to avoid as sin, with homosexual behavior being part of a broader list.  No comparison is made here.

“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”

If any leftists would like a lesson in how to identify or construct comparative sentences in English, Pharmer can help. (This blog is written by Pharmer only, on the fly, with no editorial assistance.)

Next came the much broader list of behaviors which Christians view as morally wrong and sinful. Note that, as above, that it contains both homosexual and heterosexual mis-behaviors as well as various other forms of sin.

 “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

In all of the available interview material, Pharmer noted that Phil was entirely self consistent to address homosexual behavior only, and avoid any rejection or castigation  of individuals simply because of  homosexual orientation.  Throughout the back and forth, the Robertson patriarch clearly demonstrated higher intelligence and facility with the language than did his critics. He  also demonstrated a greater respect for human rights, and an understanding of his own function within Christianity.

Phil’s followup statement  “I myself am a product of the ’60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

The message that we get from the leftist activists and from A&E is that Christians are not to speak their beliefs in public. We directly experience their judgmental and oppressive nature.

A&E has forgotten the reason why millions of people even know they exist, and that reason is Duck Dynasty.  The network execs do not realize that they need the Robertsons more than the Robertsons need them.

Pharmer has no cable television and never viewed anything from A&E before learning of Duck Dynasty.  After that show ceases, there will be no reason to purchase anything else from that network.  It’s likely that several million others feel the same way.  We will be looking forward to future productions from the Duck Commander crew when they have freed themselves from A&E.

There is a need now, more than ever, for Christians to direct  their financial resources towards those entities which tolerate or support their beliefs and  lifestyle choices.

Another Angry Leftist Goes Hunting at School

Colorado gunman Karl Pierson criticized firearms laws but opened fire on his school | Mail Online.

The mainstream media won’t be exhaustively profiling the latest school shooter.  In fact they seem to have quieted down with respect to the rest of the shooters too.  It’s because the shooters are leaning left, not right.

From the Daily Mail, (linked above).

‘He had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff,’ junior Abbey Skoda told the Denver Post.

The paper reported that Pierson had once posted an image on Facebook with the slogan: ‘The Republican Party: Health Care: Let ’em Die, Climate Change: Let ’em Die, Gun Violence: Let ’em Die, Women’s Rights: Let ’em Die, More War: Let ’em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?’

The post had been removed on Saturday.

Is it possible that Pierson really was working for more gun regulation?

 

Lie of the Year: Readers’ Poll results from PolitiFact

If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance MONTAGE of broken promises
If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance MONTAGE of broken promises

By no means a right wing source of political analysis, Politifact.com has concluded that the biggest lie of 2013 comes from Obama: “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”.  Obama is heard dozens of times saying this, without reservation, and it is anything but true.  Initially, they rated it as half true, but after a poll with over 14,000 responses, Obama’s promise was voted Lie of the Year in a landslide, garnering 59 percent of the votes, and clobbering a field of competitive entries.
