This Day in History, 1536

October 6, 1536, the date of the martyrdom of William Tyndale.

"I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spares my life, I will cause the boy that drives the plow in England to know more of the Scriptures than the Pope himself!"

The plow boy, the merchant, and even the clergyman now know the Scriptures better as a result of the life and work of this brave hero of the faith. I have recently received a facsimile copy of Tyndale's 1526 New Testament, and it is quite remarkable in its beauty. While those who cherished Tyndale's original work did so at threat to their lives, my copy joins many other copies of the Bible on my bookshelves.

I just bet...

...that this makes the oppressed Christians in China feel all "warm and fuzzy""

Empire State Building goes Red to honor 60th Anniversary of Communist China.

Tell me again what we stand for.

Strange Stuff Today

Several odd items in the news today:

1. Bernanke says that the recession is very likely over.

But unemployment will continue to rise? Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.

2. "You Lie!" = racism?

It looks like the race baiters know no depth to their depravity.

3. Shreveport Mayor pulled over by phony cop.

This might not seem like it fits in the same post as the previous two items, but this Mayor recently argued that motorists have no rights when pulled over the police. It seems a bit ironic that he expects to have his rights preserved. (Never mind that somebody needs to give this Mayor a lesson on civics. Suspend your rights? I am sure glad that I don't live in Shreveport!)

ACORN = Organized Crime

When are the bigwigs at ACORN going to be prosecuted for racketeering?

• Thousands of documented instances of voter fraud
• Cannot account for millions of taxpayer dollars
• Promotes tax fraud
• Promotes prostitution
• Promotes child abuse
• (and the list goes on)

Yes, ACORN is no longer associated with the Census Bureau, but I am guessing that this is a "carrot" to keep the news media from digging too deep into the guts of this criminal enterprise. They are still receiving millions of HUD dollars, and are probably going to get a whole lot more from the "Community Organizer in Chief".

A few low level peons get fired and or prosecuted when ACORN abuses come to light, but when is the Justice Department going to go after the ring leaders, the fat cats who are running this scam?

9-11

Never forget.
