Reflections From a Murky Pond

I have written before about my disgust for many prayers people make to their God(s) begging or demanding that They provide some intercession in their worshipers’ lives. To me it seems wrong to treat one’s God(s) as They serve us when it is we who must serve Them.

This to me seems the only right request to make of the God(s)…

Lord, Grant Me The Strength

We are our God(s)’ hands and it’s our duty to serve Their will, not Their duty to ours. When one prays for more than help in finding the strength to carry on, you’re overstepping the bounds in Pride.

Side Notes

I get some significant enjoyment from thinking about how much and how viscerally the Liberals and Progressives would hate the image above, showing as it does and American soldier praying. The intersection of faith and our nation’s military has always been something that the Left feared and loathed.

Conversely, I can’t help shaking my head over the simple fact that very few normal, American Christians will be offended by the image. I would think they would be as it shows a soldier kneeling in prayer before an American flag in a setting that makes it look like the flag and, by proxy, the nation is being deified and place before- or in replacement of God.

For the overwhelming part, when immigration reform is discussed, debated, and/or fought over in America the immigration in question is from Central and South American countries. Immigration from areas other than Latin America are rarely discussed in terms of immigration reform.

Also, whenever immigration reform is discussed by the Liberals and Progressives what they’re calling for isn’t reform; it’s opening America’s borders and allowing however many Hispanics who wish to to enter America freely and receive benefits normally reserved for America’s population. Rarely, if at all, do the Liberals and Progressives ever speak of any limitations upon- or prerequisites for such immigration.

Now I say that’s total crap and nothing but a poorly disguised effort to destroy normative American culture while simultaneously feeding the quasi-slave state that the Left hypocritically seems to favor and which funds their politicians. Criteria for immigration is necessary for any sort of reform. America needs to accept only those immigrants that we desire and who will improve or beautify our nation.

The Immigrants We Desire

Immigration Reform Done Right

That’s right! There are millions of incredibly beautiful and sexy Latinas south of the border and real immigration reform would have to include arranging for as many of them as possible to immigrate to America where they will greatly and lastingly improve our nations.

We might even go so far in the course of immigration reform to reverse the idea of immigration quotas in order to guarantee a sufficient number of new Latina immigrants each year. Oh! and anchor babies? Yeah, I’m expecting whole, whole lot of them and there finally to be a cessation of complaints about them.

NOTE: Since some people have issues, I’ll explicitly point out that this post is far more sarcasm than a real discussion of immigration reform…not that I’m in any way against beauty being one of the criteria for immigration.

Really! You’ve got to love fish. Hopefully you also love fishing because it’s one of life’s better entertainments.

Well here are six women, all celebrities, who love fish enough to get naked with them in order to draw attention to the sad fact that we’re not practicing anything remotely close to what could be called intelligent and sustainable fishing practices and, resultantly, we’re crashing fish populations.

This is a world apart from- and at least an order of magnitude better than PETA’s stupid attempt to manipulate children with their Sea Kittens campaign atrocity. Then Fish Love is a practical and pragmatic group of activists whereas PETA is a cult of pseudo-religious fanatics so this is to be expected.

The British environmental activist group, Fishlove was set up in 2009 by Nicholas Röhl, co-owner of the Japanese restaurant MOSHIMO, and actress Greta Scacchi to raise awareness of the unsustainable fishing practices that are destroying the the earth’s marine ecosystem and threatening local economies across the globe.

Yes, it’s true that Fish Love, like all activists, bases their actions on the worst-case scenario and probably overplays the immediacy of the threat to both marine ecosystems and local economies. That doesn’t, however, mean that they’re in any way shape or form wrong in slightest about the threat itself.

If nothing else, and to expand upon Fish Love’s theme, we don’t want this to come to an end, now do we?

So we really need to fish more responsibly if we want to continue fishing in the future.
