Communist paranoia?

Does this sound as crazy to you as it did me?-

The Ukrainian actress, who plays a Bolivian secret agent opposite Daniel Craig's
007 in "Quantum Of
Solace
", has also gained ire of the Communist Party of St. Petersburg, which
in an open letter on its website condemned her for aiding "the killer of
hundreds of Soviet people and their allies." The group's statement describes 007
as "a man who worked for decades under the orders of Thatcher and Reagan to
destroy the USSR."

The Communist Party of St Petersburg, a splinter group of the second
largest political party in the Russian Duma, has made headlines earlier in the
year when it denounced "Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
" as crude anti-Soviet propaganda
and called actors Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett "capitalist puppets."

New movie encourages Christian marriage

A while back I read SisterLisa's interview with the leading lady in the upcoming movie "Fireproof". It's a great interview, and the trailors on the movie website are chilling. I cannot wait to go see the movie and hope it will be showing close by. The leading actor is Kirk Cameron, who I just loved when I was a young girl (who didn't?!). One News Now had a short article with quotes from him about his upcoming film. I am amazed at how the Lord has transformed Christian entertainment using this wonderful actor. I would like to read his autobiography that come out this year- has anyone else read it?

I found it interesting to learn that Kirk is torn between the presidential nominees, in that he wished he felt better about both of them. I would be curious to hear what kind of reservations a Christian has about McCain under the circumstances.

Does anyone else feeling the same way? Would you care to share with me in an email interview for the blog?

CA Supreme Court, Obama, The Dark Knight

The same California Supreme Court that created a "right" to homosexual
"marriage" earlier this year has now ruled that the state may force healthcare
professionals to provide services that support an immoral and physically
dangerous lifestyle.

California's highest court was unanimous in its decision on Monday that
Christian doctors may not refuse to perform artificial insemination for
homosexual patients. (See "California court says no religious exemption for
doctors
") Attorney Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI),
reacts to the ruling.

I believe this is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. You know what else this attacks besides people's personal freedoms? It's an attack on Capitalism, yet the very people perpetuating this doesn't even realize it. So people who disagree with the homosexual lifestyle are hate motivated. What about the people who so spitefully choose to push legislation to FORCE people to do something against their will or else lose their job, essentially taking away their basic free will, in a free, democratic society?

Let me go on record as saying THEY are the ones that are hate motivated!! Yes, those who disagree with the lifestyle might refuse service to them- who cares? It's not like they're the only ones available to perform said service! How about a service contract, "I will provide this service only if you agree to (fill in the blank)"- how would that fly over?

Oy, I sure hope to see this ruling overturned. I think it's a matter of time before the California Supreme Court loses all credibility.

"Yesterday the New York Sun reported that the
Obama campaign has admitted that Obama lied about a 2003 bill he axed which
would have required medical attention for infants born alive during an attempted
abortion.

... Obama told interviewer David Brody in the CBN interview that it was
"ridiculous" to suggest that he had ever supported witholding lifesaving
treatment for an infant born alive. "It defies common sense and it defies
imagination, and for people to keep on pushing this is offensive," he
said. Now, 24 hours later, his campaign concedes he "misstated"
this point. David Freddoso's column for National Review is on this
same topic.

The truth is that Obama supports abortion at any time, including
the time after the baby has been born alive, which puts him to the left of even
Senators Boxer and Kennedy. The only question is, when is a baby not fair
game for murder in Obama's eyes?"

It's worth repeating:

"The only question is, when is a baby not fair game for murder in Obama's eyes?"

I also wonder, when is this man going to be able to say something and stick to it? Hes very indecisive and unable to communicate effectively at all. I wish there was a blog post somewhere that had a timeline of all his initial statements and subsequent "clarifications", don't you?

There's a thought-provoking article on LifeSite News about the movie The Dark Knight. This movie has grossed $400 million in its first
two weeks, and seems to be on its way to overtaking Titanic as the
all-time box office champ.

John-Henry Westen, the author of the article linked to above, actually went
to see the movie along with millions of others, and says the movie was
"visually and viscerally stunning but deeply disturbing, even diabolic."

We saw the movie, I agree with this assertion. Have you seen it? If so, do you agree?
