How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The-Blog-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named

This is a local lib blog, written, as far as I can tell, by one or more--I think it's more--Obamabots who are so one-sided in their blogging as to be unintentionally hilarious.

I mean, seriously, I can hardly object to someone being partisan, now, can I? But there's a big difference between having strong opinions and just being oblivious to the warts on your own hide.

Typically, their blogging amounts to a reference or a quote from one of their favored lib news sources accompanied by some snarky commentary operating on the assumptions that

A) They've understood the item to which they've linked correctly, and

B) The item to which they've linked is correct.

That one or the other of these assumptions is frequently incorrect doesn't deter them in the slightest. Time and again, I have seen them draw the wildest conclusions from the news. For example, when Charlie Crist pulled ahead of Marco Rubio (this seems to have been temporary, at least as of this writing, by the way) in the race for Florida's senate seat, they said that it was bad news for the Republicans--as though they were utterly blind to the fact that, with about 70 percent or more of Florida's electorate planning on voting for either Crist or Rubio, well, obviously, that many people didn't want the Democrat.

They appear, in a very real sense, to be completely blind to such things. They are hilarious.

I don't tell you who they are because it's more that I just want to tell the funny stories, not so much that I want to hold them up to ridicule. Although I guess it's hard to tell the difference sometimes...

Seriously, it's nothing personal. They're just a gas, that's all.
