Okay, I know I should have known better, but...

While checking my e-mail, I saw the following news headline:

Mel Gibson Takes on Obama in a War of the Words

Well, I'm ashamed to admit that I was morbidly curious. So I clicked on the link, where I found a short article that quoted Gibson as saying:

"[Obama] is a man with an impossible task on his hands... He got left a mess and I wish him all the best but I don't think he's going to fix it in five minutes and probably not in his entire tenure."

Really? This is a “War of the Words”? Seriously?!?! THEN...WE...ARE...DOOOOOOMED!!!! Shout it from the rooftops. If that is what passes for a “war of the words” in this country, then America can officially be pronounced brain-dead.

Sheesh!

(But I guess that's what I get for taking the bait.)

Sign Language

Whatever Christians think about various social and moral issues – such as abortion, homosexuality, the direction in which our country is moving, illegal immigration, etc., etc. – there is a right way and a wrong way to discuss such highly charged subject matter, and do it in a Christ-like manner.

Unfortunately, Fred Phelps (and his hateful brood of wolves in badgers' clothing) is like a festering boil on the butt of the Body of Christ.

But, perhaps, G. K. Chesterton was right, when he suggested that humor is really the best way to deal with such pathetically childish evils.

Anyway, I think this guy may have the right idea.





I imagine ol' GKC would be proud.
