Linda McMahon Beats Christopher Shays in A WWE Smackdown 730-389 At GOP Convention

Could WWE nation provide the Nutmeg State with their first female US Senator ever?

Linda McMahon, the former WWE CEO, gave fellow GOP’er a smack down at the Republican state convention Friday night as she beat Christopher Shayes 730 to 389. However, the battle will continue against her rival Shayes until the Connecticut August primary.  McMahon said she intends to focus her campaign on Chris Murphy, the Democrats’ endorsed candidate, but will also continue to target Shays. “Chris Murphy and Chris Shays have very similar voting records. The November election will be a  battle royal for the retiring Joe Liberman’s US Senate seat.

Republican delegates at their state convention Friday night once again put their faith in U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon, although her contentious battle with rival Christopher Shays will continue until a mid-August primary.

McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, received 60.4 percent of the vote. Shays netted 32.2 percent, easily meeting the threshold — 15 percent of the total — to force a primary.

Linda McMahon said following her overwhelming victory:

“We’re going to send the first woman senator to Washington in the history of Connecticut,” she said in the speech that she said she would have made from the podium. “Connecticut, we’re tired of waiting.”

“We know our economy is not working because Americans are not working,” McMahon said. “We are going to move Washington out of the doldrums that it’s in. … We are going to get people back to work and get our economy stimulated.”

MSNBC’s Arrogent Lib Chris Matthews Says to Black Pastor on Gay Marriage: “I Hope You Evolve” (Video)

Chris Matthews, the MSNBC host who usually plays the race card and deems folks racist who do not agree with his opinion, has entered new and appalling territory. Matthews said to black pastor Bishop Harry Jackson, who opposes gay marriage,  … “I hope you evolve”. Really? So much for someone having a differing opinion and set of religious values. I guarantee if anyone on the Right made the comment to a black individual that I hope they evolve, would be called a racist.

Hardball anchor Chris Matthews, who routinely smears his political opponents as racist, on Monday lectured an African American minister who opposes gay marriage, “I hope you evolve.” The host patronizingly added, “I’m just teasing.” [See video below. MP3 audio here.] How would he (or MSNBC for that matter) react if a conservative said such a thing to a black leader?

From NewsBusters:

5:39

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think he would have been chasing after the kid with long hair and cutting his hair or he would have been the one protecting the kid with long hair in high school?

BISHOP HARRY JACKSON: He would have been protecting the kid with long hair.

MATTHEWS: Right. I thought so. But you’re with the guy who was going after the kid with long hair.

JACKSON: No, no, no. I’m not necessarily with him right now.

MATTHEWS: Oh, you’re not with Romney?

JACKSON: I’m not with Romney at this point. I want to say something about righteousness and justice. The Bible talks very clearly about how righteousness, which is like personal morality and holiness. It also talks about justice. What’s broken in American politics is that the Democrats think they own social justice. The Republicans think they own righteousness, but the Bible doesn’t take righteousness or justice, it takes righteousness and justice.

5:43

JACKSON: Why not let the Muslims have polygamy and bigamy?

MATTHEWS: Mr. Bishop, I hope you evolve. Thank you very much. I’m just teasing.

JACKSON: That’s all right.

The position taken by President Barack Obama is going to hurt him dearly in the black churches. Now its up to the MSM to go after those blacks and demonize them.

Obama Way Behind in Catholic Vote As Compared to 2008 … Gallup Poll Tied at 46% A Piece

Once again we see that for Barack Obama, this ain’t 2008 anymore. Obama’s war on religion taking its toll on his poll numbers. 

In the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama won the Catholic vote by nine points, 54% to 45%, over John McCain on his way to a seven-point victory.  That was then, this is now.  According to the most recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are tied with the Catholic vote at 46% to 46%. Protestants are also supporting Romney by 9 points, 51% to 41%. As stated at Hot Air, it would appear that Obama has completely alienated and lost millions of Catholic votes after announcing the HHS mandate that would force religious hospitals, schools, and charities to fund contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients.

Catholic voters in the United States are evenly split in their support for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney for president, mirroring the national trend. However, Hispanic Catholics — about 18% of the total group of Catholic voters — are overwhelmingly likely to support Obama over Romney, while a majority of non-Hispanic white Catholics support Romney.

Catholics constitute almost one in four voters in the U.S. today. Did Obama really want to upset that voting block? Also, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have not relented on the issue of the HHS mandate, and have been so provoked by Obama that they will be openly campaigning against Obama. Fear not Barack Obama, you seem to have a leg up with the heathen vote.

Religious White Catholics Support Romney; the Nonreligious, Obama

Non-Hispanic white Catholics themselves, who make up 75% of all Catholic registered voters, are far from monolithic in their vote choice. As a general rule in today’s political world, the more religious the American, the more likely he or she is to be a Republican and vote for Republican candidates. This rule of thumb is evident among white Catholic voters. Among non-Hispanic white Catholics whom Gallup categorizes as “very religious” or “moderately religious,” Romney wins over Obama by 30- and 22-point margins, respectively. Among nonreligious Catholics, Obama wins by 54% to 40%.

Luke 24:1-6

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!

Above All – Michael W. Smith

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Happy Easter to All, remember “Above All” let there always be true hope in your lives. God Bless.

Whitney Houston Funeral Service Celebrate Houston’s Voice, Love & Faith During her Homegoing Service at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ … She is Now With Him

The funeral was held today for Whitney Houston at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. Whitney Houston had passed away at the age of 48, tragically far too young.

Even though we are not perfect on Earth, today at Whitney Houston’s Homegoing service actor Keven Costner reminded us that she was the “perfect’ choice for him and her starring role in the 1992 movie “The Bodyguard.” For our many faults, sins and demons there are on Earth, we were also reminded today that we are all ‘perfect” in Heaven. May the grace of the Lord be with you forever Whitney, God Bless and Rest in eternal Peace.

Speaking at the service in Newark, Costner recounted his own second thoughts of putting her up for the role. She was a novice, he said, and the studio had questions of whether choosing a person of color would be good for the box office.

Doubts began to spread to the young entertainer.

In the end, Costner said, Houston nailed the tryout and went on to further fame and success.

“So off you go Whitney, off you go, escorted by an army of angels to your heavenly father,” Costner told mourners at the funeral. “And when you sing before him, don’t you worry. You’ll be good enough.”

For much more coverage and VIDEO’s of today’s services, go to CNN.

At the conclusion of the service Whitney Houston’s coffin was lead from the church was her smash recording  “I Will Always Love You” was played. What better way to finish the service than to hear Houston’s amazing voice fill up the New Hope Baptist Church one more time. What a fantastic voice, imagine that playing in Heaven for eternity?

I would be remiss if I did not mention Whitney Houston’s greatest love of all. Whitney’s amazing voice began in the church and ended there today as well. However, it was obvious today from many that even though she battled her demons of drug addiction, she never lost sight of trying to find “Him”. I am reminded by a post from the Gateway Pundit of Houston’s come back song, that I had forgotten … “I Look to You”. This might be Whitney Houston’s greatest lasting legacy in music to all of us.  Please take a moment and listen. For all those who have looked to HIM during times of loss, hardship and our human failings. Whitney, there is no more pain, only eternal Love and Peace … Rest in Peace.

I Look To You

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

Chorus:
I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

’bout to lose my breath
There’s no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I’ve taken
Led to my regret
And I don’t know if I’m go’n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

Chorus:

My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!

AMEN WHITNEY HOUSTON!

Barack Obama Plays Politics at National Prayer Breakfast … Justifies His Taxing the Rich Because that is What Jesus Would Do

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OBAMA’S SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?

Dear Barack Obama, there is only one Messiah, please do not believe your press clippings that you are the Obamamessiah. Trust me, you are hardly the “One” we have been waiting for.

Yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama decided to make the event what all his events are … political. The One took the opportunity to justify his taxes on the rich because that is what Jesus would tax the rich. Really Mr. President. Just curious, what ever happened to separation of Church and State? Oh that’s right, you only use that when its convenient for you. What a shock that Obama would do the unthinkable and use a religious event for his partisan policies.

The rich should pay more not only because “I actually think that is going to make economic sense, but for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,’” Obama said at the Washington Hilton, delivering remarks at an annual event that every president has attended since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

“We can all benefit from turning to our Creator, listening to him,” Obama said. “Avoiding phony religiosity. … This is especially important right now when we’re facing some big challenges as a nation.”

Obama infused his remarks on spirituality with a populist message of economic fairness, echoing rhetoric he unveiled in December in Osawatomie, Kan., and returned to in his State of the Union address last week. Without countering his Republican presidential opponents head on, Obama offered a contrast to Mitt Romney’s positions on class and wealth.

The Lonely Conservative has the VIDEO so no one can spin that he either did not say it, or that it was not meant to be political.

What else would we expect from a man who learned Christianity at a church whose pastor would rant, “God damn America”. Or as the Gateway Pundit says, “Barack Obama is his Bother’s keeper, except for his own brother George.” A President who at every chance attacks religion, now cloaks himself in it to justify taxing the rich. Really Barack, is that all you got out of the Bible?

Barack Obama talks about everyone else having to pay taxes, yet when it comes  to giving of himself with charitable contributions, its a joke.  Why all of a sudden has Obama tried to evoke religion into the political discourse? Interestingly enough, no where during his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast did he refer to any Christians he wanted to tax as clinging to their Bibles. Go figure.

As the Bible teaches us, beware of false prophets. The tax comments are shallow words coming from a man who is the most polarizing President ever!  What would Jesus say about that.

OWS Protesters Thank Churches That Allowed Them To Sleep on Premises By Urinating On a Cross & Stealing a Baptismal

More from the Barack Obama endorsed Occupy protesters … OWS Thanks the Churches that aided them, could these people be any more vile?

Here is the thanks that the churches received that allowed  Occupy Wall Streeters to sleep on their premises, stealing and pissing on crosses. The OWS protesters stole an 18 inch in diameter bronze basin and lid missing from the baptismal font’s 800-pound base and others desecrated another church when an occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross. A note to the church … what did you expect from these heathens?

There’s no longer room at the inn at a Manhattan church that’s sheltering Occupy Wall Streeters after a holy vessel disappeared from the altar last week.

When the Rev. Bob Brashear prepared for Sunday services at West Park Presbyterian Church on West 86th Street, he noticed parts of the bronze baptismal font were gone.

In a fire-and-brimstone message to occupiers later that day, he thundered, “It was like pissing on the 99 percent.”

In Brooklyn, at another church housing OWS protesters, an occupier urinated on a cross, according to Rabbi Chaim Gruber, who has angrily abandoned the OWS movement.

As Weasel Zippers states, yup this is what Democracy is supposed to look like. It does in an Obamanation. Last time I checked when Mary and Joseph were turned away from the Inn, they didn’t desecrate their sleeping quarters. I can’t wait for Obama to comment on this during tomorrow’s SOTU speech.

BTW, just one more example of something you will never see the Tea Party ever do.

Tebowmania Silenced by Patriots and Tom “Terrific” Brady’s Record Setting Six TD Performance, 45-10 … However, It Does Not Stop Tebowmania

The final score was 45-10, honestly it could have been worse, much worse … However, Tebowmania is much bigger than football.

Tim Tebow, Tebowmania and the Denver Broncos came to a crashing halt last night in Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA.  Everyone talked about Tim Tebow and his miracle working all week after the phenomenal game that he had against the Steelers where he threw for 316. The media forgot about one thing in their exuberance of Tebow and Tebowmania … Can you say Tom Brady?

Patriots QB Tom Brady, the two time Super Bowl MVP, winner of three Super Bowls carved up the Denver Broncos defense for a post season record tying six touch down passes, a record five in the first half, on their way to a convincing 45-10 victory. A note to the MSM, Brady ain’t bad, is he?  The Patriots overwhelmed the Broncos from the opening kickoff of the game. Denver never had a chance and there would be no MSM over publicized divine intervention that would save Denver. From the outset Denver was over-matched and for some reason after winning the coin flip, the Broncos deferred to the second half and kicked the ball off to Tom Brady and the prolific PAT’s offense. Huh? It took a little less than two  minutes for Brady and the Patriots to march down the field and score. Then the Patriots scored again, again and again.

Watching last nights AFC Division playoff game reminded me of New England Patriot games of their past Super Bowl winning years. Tom Brady and the offense was one thing, but wake up the echos of their defense. The PAT’s defense chased Tebow around all night sacking him 5 times as well as tackling for losses all night long in the running game.  The PAT’s defense pounded Tebow all night long. A note to owner Bob Craft, coach Bill Belecheck and the New England execs … look how good the Patriots looked with a defense.

However, for the Tebow “nay” sayers who think Tebowmania is over, think again. Just like how Tom Brady transcends the NFL into pop culture, in his own way so does Tim Tebow.  I am a life long patriots fan; however, I am also a Tebow fan. We have been waiting for an athlete to be proud of.  Just because Tim Tebow met his Waterloo last night does not mean the end of Tim Tebow or Tebowmnaia. What Tim Tebow has brought to the NFL and to all of us is much bigger than just football. Tebow attracts fans to the NFL who could care less about the sport, the teams or the score. Tebow represents all that is good with athletes and for those who try to do the right thing. Tebow does not hide his religion or his love of God, why should he.  Isn’t it a breathe of fresh air to see some one succeed when all others said he could not? Isn’t it refreshing to see an NFL player known more for praising God than killing dogs? Tebow is a role model and although he is not perfect, he does not claim to be. Only his Savior Jesus Christ is, who he honors. All that Tim Tebow does and is can only be a good thing for the NFL, its fans and for our culture in general.Want to know what Tebow gave rise to during a football game, check out the John 3:16 ad that played during last nights playoff game. The nay sayers and atheists  will claim seperation of Church and Sports. However, we all know better.

Tim Tebow is a class act. What he does for others not so fortunate is commendable. How Tebow conducts himself should be applauded. Who knows what the future has in store for Tim Tebow in the NFL or for the Denver Broncos. One thing is for certain, there are few people who have life, including sports, in their proper perspective like Tebow.  KUDOS!

This Was a Fantastic Commercial … Focus on the Family Releases “John 3:16″ Ad During Denver Broncos – New England Patriots Game (Video)

FANTASTIC COMMERCIAL DURING TONIGHT’S DENVER BRONCOS – NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS GAME  …

This might have been the only highlight of tonight’s AFC Divisional playoff game for Tim Tebow …

Focus on Family release the following John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  The game may have been a one sided blow out, but this commercial is a touchdown!!! I can’t wait for the atheists bitching & moaning in response. Why, because this was a powerful commercial.

John 3:16 … WOW!!!

SANTA: NO, NO, NO: The War on Christmas Continues … Massachusetts school system Bans Santa from Visiting Elementary Schools over Religious Concerns

The LEFT has escalated the war on Christmas to include Santa as well. If it were up to the LEFT, Santa would say, No, No, No.

Dateline Saugua, MASS …  Massachusetts school system has banned Santa Claus from visiting elementary school children because of religious concerns. WHAT???!!! Since when is Santa religious? Schools and governments have previously banned Christ, Nativity scenes and the baby Jesus from all schools because of religious reasons, now SANTA?

Since 1960 firefighters in the town of Saugus dressed up like Santa Claus and visited every elementary school handing out coloring books. But on Monday, the school superintendent told firefighters that they would not be welcomed into the classrooms.

Watch out Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman, you are next on the LEFT’s hit list to be banned for religious concerns. After that, Heat Miser and the Burger Meister will be next. It has become rather obvious that the LEFT just wants ro ban Christmas altogether and any aspect of it. Deep down inside, even with secular representations of Christmas like Santa, the LEFT knows what the “reason for the season” represents, the birth of Jesus Christ. The LEFT will stop at nothing to rid Christmas and Christianity from our society.
