A sword and the Bible. Nowadays they call us bitter clingers. Great statue, very powerful image.
It is a wonderful statue.
Yes indeed!
I hear that back in the day, all the apostles carried assault weapons.
Here’s another from Fr. Paul Hartmann:
The pulpit in the Catholic church of Our Lady dates from 1685, two years after the battle of Vienna when the Christian armies of the Polish King John III Sobieski defeated the Turks poised to overrun Europe. The sculpted wooden pulpit, made by Mattheus van Beveren, depicts a man subdued by angels and represents the triumph of Christianity over Islam. The man is generally thought to be Mohammed. He is holding a book which is generally assumed to be the Koran.

Those moslems don’t like it. That proves to me it is not only great art but factual. Naturally, they will destroy it first chance they get.
Wow. I didn’t even know about this. The history about this is rich… very interesting. Thanks RP for sharing this. And yes, of course they will try everything to get rid of this. Sigh…
HAHAH! I love it!
See? The angels forgave him and they are walking on his back after he had a stressful day to pop his back into place. His vertebra were misaligned and they didn’t have chiropractors back then…
Oh. wait. Huh? Yeah? Oh, he is a spineless coward?
Well, in that case, I hope those angels walked through bacon grease on their way back from the chow hall before they kicked his ass. Barefooted.
**Akbar** THIS, cross-eyed beotch.
No. I won’t apologize.
Wow! Great Coyote, this makes me want to go and BURN A KORAN!!!
One of those angels has to be Gabriel, saying something along the lines of “Stop telling people it was me! You know dang well it wasn’t!”
Bullseye! That’s the TRUTH right there.
Nice find, RP!
Great fine and thank you for sharing it with us.

In the admin view, I looked at the comments and the reason that your earlier comment above had a different gravitar image is because there was a typo (a missing character) in your email address. So WordPress thought you were a different entitiy, even though your username and IP address were the same.
Paul McKinley, Republican running for J3′s seat, gives a lesson called “The Machine 101″
Crap. I think I’d actually vote for that guy…McKinley the ex-crook. Who knows a crook better than another crook?
I can’t believe it, but hell yeah. If I lived up there, I’d actually strongly consider voting for him.
He wins. Wow. Holy crap. I just don’t know what to say…

An ex-con wins over the establishment? Think about that one for just a bit…
Unions riot during the Great Depression. I never learned about this in any of my history classes. This is what DHS is preparing for.
Illinois state senator pushes anti-anonymity bill
http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/21/illinois-state-senator-pushes-anti-anonymity-bill/
This will probably pass if the liberals Senators get their way. All Americans need to be furious over this bill, not just conservatives in Illinois. If this bill passes, watch it spread like wildfire.

Has anybody heard from Shalini?
She doesn’t live in H-bad, but she might have some more info that we don’t get from our “media”.
Wait… I just got this off a Keyhole satellite image over Chennai. It looks like Shalini is tied up running errands with her brother and a bunch of nieces and nephews. It could be a while before we get a story about H-bad.
(When I was a wee shootist, my father was stationed in Puerto Rico; and he used to transport me on his scooter like that little one in the front. That was in the late 1940s, btw.
)
Personally, I think it’s fine. Americans have a cow when they see 7 on a scooter in Mexico, or kids being transported in the back of open pickups, but I hate what the safety mafia does to big families in this country. In my view, it’s better to accept the risk of a hurt kid, than to make the decision to have fewer kids because you can’t afford a Suburban and all the safety crap. Like Bob and Hoot have asked in the past, rhetorically, which one would you choose not to have? Little Sally? Sorry Sally, we decided not to have you because the laws force us to spend all our time padding and shrink-wrapping your older siblings so no harm can ever possibly come to them, and hiring only gov’t-approved PhD babysitters for them. Have a nice non-existence!
Amen! I’m so with yas on this.
Thanks, Brother! I figured everyone would think I was crazy again, like usual.
Oh no! U crazy? Nooooo… I was crazy! When I was a tot, the first bike I recieved became a thrill seeking machine. My younger brother, younger uncle, and myself, would triple pack on this bike down a very steep incline… offroad! We would go as fast as we could and take a bend at the end of the hill. There was many a time we took a spill and ended up grounded.
You mean “grounded” as in getting bits of the ground in your teeth?
Sol, have you seen puerto Rico lately? I can’t imagine PR being a state of the Union. We would not be able to afford their misery as it stands now. No way.

This is a long show, but it’s worth it. That place is absolute hell now.
You guys see The Rum Diary? H.S. Thompson’s book-made-movie about PR in the 60s? Weird movie, but a good glimpse into the time and place, I guess. I’m guessing it was about half based on fact, the other half LSD-fueled hallucination.
No I haven’t. I guess I need to add that to my “watch list”
Don’t do it sober.
HAHAH! Hey, at least he’s hands free!
That’s right! And he can even text while he’s driving, as long as his wife doesn’t fall off while she’s taking dictation. “Honey? Hang up on this idiot and then text him an obscene tell-off message. But wait until I get past this pothole and the water-buffalo brush-back coming up. You’re going to have to hold on for that.”
Breaking: Obama campaign caught in major NC vote fraud scheme

This story doesn’t matter one bit. It’ll never hit MSM and the wimps in the GOP will never do anything about it.
Westford Residents Erupt in Applause as ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Withdrawn

Piers Morgan MUST be so butt hurt over this one. He’s gonna have to suck on someone’s machine gun now…
BWAH-HAHAHAH!!! This is so damned funny!
Report: President Obama to visit Newport News Shipbuilding
http://wtkr.com/2013/02/21/report-president-obama-to-visit-newport-news-shipbuilding/
This pisses me off. The majority of the workers there are Dems so he’s just pandering to his base while giving the illusion that he actually gives a damn. This whole thing was a setup from the get-go and I bet those spineless wimps in the GOP will cave and fall right into his trap.
Randy Forbes is a good guy and I like what he put in his statement:
“…The President, on the other hand, signed sequestration into law. He even said last year that it would not happen…I hope it is the first step towards working with the President to overturn the bill that he signed into law.”
Did you see on Drudge that the WH is asking for people to post their gun violence stories? I hope lots of people who have had to defend themselves with guns flood that page!
Chain mail tie. That is outstanding.
Literally.
Keep your eyes on the hardware, Barn, or Yatz is going to accuse you of being a sexist pig, again. And we all care about her opinion.
I guarantee the kid is not fast enough to get any of these scraps.
Crap…
VETERANS RECEIVING LETTERS. ANY other reports on this? http://redflagnews.com/headlines/disarming-americas-heros-veterans-receiving-official-letters-prohibiting-them-from-purchasing-possessing-receiving-or-transporting-a-firearm-or-ammunition
Some buds of mine have just come back over and they were talking about it while we were sitting around the campfire drinking beer. I hadn’t read anything about it until now.
So, it appears as though Obama wins in one of two ways:
1) If the vet doesn’t claim anything, the VA doesn’t have to pay disability
2) If the vet claims anything, the administration can claim veteran instability status and can put your name on the list for “NO SALE” for NIC. One less gun owner.
He knows what he’s doing. Yup yup. But we all saw this one coming anyways…
Dang…
