Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Ezra Levant – It’s one thing for Messrs. Martin and Duceppe and Ms. Mc-Donald to dislike Christians. But what’s new — and disturbing — is that this once-passive intolerance is becoming active: There is a concerted effort to name Christians and drive them out of office, to delegitimize the very idea of Christians participating in public life.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) – “And that Word is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word. Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: ‘The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.’ And that’s the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we’re prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up.”
I would say Ezra Levant (awesome) has a better understanding of Christian values than Nancy Pelosi and other nominal Catholics who spew religiosity to hide the fact that they are malicious and utterly full of crap.
Just my thoughts.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
The epitome of a 60’s flower child who somehow along the way dangerously stumbled into power.
She “somehow along the way dangerously stumbled into power” by being born to a congressman who was later Mayor of Baltimore. Coincidentally, her brother was later Mayor of Baltimore too.
It goes without saying that if a Conservative politician said anything like this, all hell would break loose.
Ezra is correct, unfortunately. In Canada, the only group one can blame and defame are Christians, as well as their brothers, the Jews.
Jesus spoke of this discrimination as a sign of the end times, so it’s a good sign.
Pelosi: a Christian in name; a Catholic by confession. She’s the kook with the vacuous look and Chris is most likely right: just one more of the flower children still struggling to cope with the real world. Wonder if she smokes ??? – Nah, she wouldn’t, would she?
@Gellen
Jesus also said that some alive at the time would live to see him return, and yet here we all are 2000 years later.
As for her smoking weed (I assume thats what you meant), that would be among the least of the problems anyone should have with her. Didn’t Jesus say that its what comes out of your mouth that makes you impure, and not what goes in?
How can she love the Word when she walks 180 degrees in the opposite direction?
Sounds like that was a heartfelt political speech which she learned from the POTUS. All she needed was a teleprompter to be the spitting image of BHO.
The only thing I see is leftist politicians seeking votes. The loons in Canada think that by bashing Christians they will gain votes. Plugosi the Vacuous in the USA is simply spouting Christian expressions she neither understands or believes in order to gain votes.
Et Verbun caro factum est.
Why is it that just the mere mention of Pelosi makes my blood run cold? I look at her pinched face mouthing insincere speeches and feel like I am looking at pure evil. The words that come out of her mouth never match the way that I feel about what she is saying. Why is that?
Jesus also said that some alive at the time would live to see him return, and yet here we all are 2000 years later.
Uh, that was before the Resurrection. They did see Him return.
Pathetic that the most outspoken and ardent defender of Christianity and Christian values is a Jew- our good friend Ezra Lavant.
Awhile back, I thought some of his antics were a bit over the top, but taking things issue by issue now, he is invariably spot on in his views, and isn’t shy to espouse them.
Pity there’s not more of his mettle amongst us.
Go to the dictionary – any dictionary for that matter – and look up the definition of the word “vacuous” – yep – there it is – a picture of Nancy…..
Joe: “The only thing I see is leftist politicians seeking votes.”
‘Exactly my thoughts.
Nancy Pelosi is a piece of work. How DARE she even speak of the Word. Tellingly, she qualified her talk about the Word made flesh with this inanity: “The Word. Fill it in with anything you want.”
Sure, sure, Nancy. I guess the Word made flesh figures it’s just fine to abort over 1,000,000 babies made in His image every year — a desecration of the Word made flesh that you seem to think is just dandy and every woman’s “right.”
Pelosi speaks with forked tongue to get votes. I hope that every Christian who hears her lying words — and every honest person who isn’t a Christian — runs as fast as they can in the opposite direction. This woman is NUTS and DANGEROUS.
Didn’t Jesus say that its what comes out of your mouth that makes you impure, and not what goes in?
Mark 7:20. Also Matthew 15:18.
I just learned something while looking that up. I thought that it was from the epistles of Paul. Thank you!
Another quote, this one from a play by Sean O’Casey, occurs to me with respect to what Nancy said:
You are too young by a thousand years to know the mind of God.
Ezra Levant is doing yeoman’s service in defending Christians against this rampant and ugly bigotry in Parliament and the media.
Sadly, if you’re a Christian and you try to defend yourself, the bigots regard you as self-interested and delusional. Even commenters on SDA have referred to Christian faith as “magic,” “unreasonable,” and useless.
Jesus has told us that “the world will hate you,” and we’re certainly hearing hate-filled words from the leftists here in Canada — because they KNOW that it’s pretty much only Christianity and Christians who stand between them and what will eventually be their (blood-soaked) Utopian world: In their supercilious, self-congratulatory, and bigoted myopia, they only see Utopia; their eyes are blinded to the kind of ugly, nasty, and violent world their utilitarian Utopia would usher in.
We shouldn’t be amazed. The Scriptures have told us that this time will come. It’s here, big time.
Say what you will, for Nancy to say that, something must of happened.
Bird, bird, bird – bird is The Word!
Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Bird, bird, bird – bird is The Word!
– The Trashmen
How apropos!
The entire “hidden agenda” inferred a “christian” agenda which was inferred as “evil”? The hinted inferred anti-abortion legistlation….a sacred tenant of leftism. IOW—don’t vote for him–he goes to church.
Never could quote figure that out but it did seem to work for a time.
Persoanlly I’m not much into the religious thing but I distinctly recall a hill…where surrounded by by mates I felt acutely alone in my hole….
When inevitably I started to scream….nobody came…except God….
Perhaps some of these elements should be treated to an epiphany in a foxhole. Then again no….too likely to create more PCSS entitlement demanders.
I have one quibble with Ezra Levant’s article. He claims there is no opus dei “secret handshake.” How would he know that? If there was a secret (!) handshake, would they tell a high-profile journalist?
Dunbar 11.23 p.m – Wasn’t seriously thinking or implying she was smoking the weed, but wondered how anyone could have that permanent vacuous expression, use their hands during a speech as if they’re unconnected to the mouth, while uttering such disconnected nonsense.
A druggie can do it but I’m not sure why the Speaker of the House can.
Gellen: they must use the weed, or have used it extensively in the past. Dead brain cells explain the disconnect between Left-Liberal beliefs and reality. It may not be surprising that a socialist union leader can entice a poorly educated grunt worker to believe in a fairy godmother, but an educated politician? Or how much of all this rhetoric is just fodder for the masses?
Oh please, no more quoting Pelosi, I give up, you win. trying to understand what she is saying hurts the head more than a Chicago community organizer with a duff teleprompter.
She can make SDA’s “new” sound profound.
“We’ve gotta pass the bill so we can find out what’s in the bill”
I wonder if the Obamacare she helped cram through will cover her cosmetic surgeries? If she gets one more face lift she’s gonna be sporting a goatee.
Levant is too kind: “infected the parties of the left.” When have the parties of the left not been hate-filled and bigoted? Chavez’s day? Castro’s day? Mao’s day? Stalin’s day? Lenin’s day? Marx’s day? Should been, “which originated on the left.”
