A Note on Tim Tebow and #TEBOWING … This Isn’t the First Time We Have Seen This, Remember Notre Dame’s Rocket Ismail … Praising God Should Always be En Vogue

TEBOW MANIA … Tim Tebow and “Tebowing” has become all the rage; however, this is not the first time we have seen this. In the end, is it so terrible to have role models we can be proud of. The answer is no!

Let me first say, I am a Tebow fan. Not because I am a Denver Bronco fan, just the opposite. I am a life-long Patriot fan and have been a Tom Brady fan for years. Which happens to be the over-hyped NFL game of the week and all that every one is talking about. Can Tebow beat Tom Terrific? Honestly, I doubt it. I can’t see the game being so close in the 4th quarter, Tebow time, when playing an offense like that what the Pats put on the field. Although, what I learned from the NE Patriots perfect season year and loss to the Giants in the Super Bowl, anything can happen.

That being said, what Tim Tebow is doing and what he brings to the NFL is refreshing. The fact that there are haters to Tebow is a bit disconcerting. What is there really not to like about Tim Tebow? From all accounts he appears to be a good Christan kid, humble, has his priorities correct and has a faith in himself and in his God. Seriosuly, what could be wrong with that? Isn’t this what the NFL has been looking for … a clutch player that makes headlines on the field, not in the police blotter.

I know we live in the 24-7-365 social media age; however, a note to the youth of America and a reminder to the MSM … Tebowing is not new. Many athletes during post game interviews give praise to God before they answer any sports reporting question. That being said, for all you too young to remember, you can watch it on Youtube. In the late 80′s there was a NCAA college football player known as “the Rocket”. Raghib Ismail was “Tebowing” for Tebowing was in. In fact, the Rocket did not always wait until the fourth quarter to get down on one knee and thank God.

Check out after the Rocket scores … looks a bit like “Tebowing”

The Rocket went to his knees twice in this game against Rice, although his first TD post knee prayer, he was swarmed under by fellow Irish players.

The fact of the matter is that Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and faith in his God. Win or lose, Tebow praises God. I often wonder why people have bad things to say about this, this actions or his faith. Of course the MSM including the ESPN’s of the world are blowing this all out of proportion. Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and his Awesome God. For those that would have a problem with such qualities need to maybe figure out what is lacking in their lives. When I look at Tebow, I think of the movie “Facing the Giant” and the message for it. The struggling coach asks, “what is the purpose of this football team”. A player responds, “winning football games”.  Coach Grant then says, “winning football games is just too small a thing to live for. [...] we need to give God our best in every area. And if we win, we praise him and if we lose we praise him”.

It is not Tim Tebow who is making this about Tebow, that is the media.  In the end, what could ever be wrong with praising God and understanding that there is something greater in the universe than you? All too many need to embrace this, including many of our political leaders.

Tis the Season … Santa Claus Dressed as Skeleton, Nailed to a Cross Removed from Public Christmas Display

Some things are beyond words. So a Nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus Christ is offensive, but a skeleton dressed as Santa Claus nailed to a cross is not! Is this how low we have become in the US in our efforts to promote PC?

The War on Christmas continues as it is far game to offend Christianity. So only certain types of offensive free speech are allowed? Needless to say, an offended member of the community took down the offensive display.

The annual Leesburg dispute over holiday displays is getting as predictable as the rush of shoppers on Black Friday.

A skeleton, dressed as Santa Claus, nailed to a cross, was torn down by an enraged woman outside of the Loudoun County Courthouse.

The display was legally there, with the consent of the county, officials said.

Mary Czarnecki, a county resident, wasn’t having it. She, piece by piece and bone by bone, took “Skele-Claus” off the cross and laid him on the courthouse’s lawn.

“You don’t think this is offensive?”

The individual, Jeff Heflin, actually applied for approval with the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors to put up his anti-Christmas Season display.  He stated that his Christmas display “depicts how society’s materialistic obsessions and addictions are killing the season’s peace, love, joy and kindness.” Really?

I wonder what Church Jeff Heflin belongs to?

Oh, but get this … open minded words from an Atheist. This hypoctit says that people should keep an open mind about the skeleton dressed Santa. Really? WHERE IS THE ATHEISTS OPEN MIND WHEN IT COMES TO NATIVITY SCENES? ISN’T THIS WHAT HAS CAUSED THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS PROBLEM IN AMERICA … NON-BELIEVERS LACK OF AN OPEN MIND AND SUING CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS!!!

The leader of the Northern Virginia Atheists, Rick Wingrove, says tearing down the display was illegal, and people should keep an open mind.

“Offense is in the eye of the beholder. We’re offended by the religious displays on government  property. We think it’s constitutionally improper,” Wingrove said.

Good News For GOP Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney … Most Americans Do not Have Problem with Mormon Candidate

Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts, received some good polling data. According to a CNN poll, Americans overwhelmingly say a presidential candidate being Mormon wouldn’t affect their vote. 80% of those polled stated that a candidate being a Mormon would not affect their vote.

The survey, which was taken after a controversial pastor said Mormonism was a “cult” and that GOP voters should support a “competent Christian,” also shows a majority of Americans believe Mormons are Christians.

Eighty percent of respondents in the survey said a candidate’s Mormonism wouldn’t make a difference in their selection process, while 17% said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who was Mormon. Three percent said they would be more likely to select a Mormon candidate.

Most people are looking for a good and moral individual to be President. However, when those that would question a Mormon as President, would they rather prefer an individual indoctrinated in the church of Reverend Wright and his Black Liberation Theology Doctrine … God Damn America?

Think about it when voting in 2012.

Susan Sarandon Calls Pope Benedict a ‘Nazi’ and ESPN Does Not Fire Her Like Hank Williams Jr.

Oh the hypocrisy and double standard of the LEFT and the MSM …

It is just another case of the MSM double standard. Far Leftist, Hollywood darling Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi and is praised by moonbats world wide. However, when it came to Hank Williams Jr. making an analogy and not actually calling President Obama or House Speaker John Boehner while on Fox & Friends, Williams was fired from his gig with ESPN’s Monday Night Football intro … “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME DOUBLE STANDARDS!”

Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict XVI a ‘Nazi’ last weekend while discussing Catholic teaching on the death penalty.

Those are harsh words from the Catholic girl who played a well known nun, Sr. Helen Prejean, in Dead Man Walking, a popular 1995 film depicting Prejean’s anti-death penalty ministry and activism.

During an event at the Hamptons Film Festival, Sarandon said she had sent a copy of the book “Dead Man Walking” in hopes that the late Pope John Paul II would elevate the issue of the death penalty in church teaching. According to reports, Sarandon said she sent the book to “The last [pope]. Not this Nazi one we have now.”

Of course Hank Williams Jr’s famous “All my rowdy friends are here on Monday Night was discontinued by ESPN and MNF for his remarks, what are the odds that Susan Sarandon will get a movie deal after hers? So far there is no truth to the rumor that Susan Sarandon will be cutting a demo tape for the new intro to MNF.

92% of Americans Still Believe in God

According to a recent Gallup poll, 92% of Americans still believe in God. It would seem that from the 1940′s to present, the believe in God has remained relatively the same. There is an interesting breakdown in the Gallup as to education level and geographic location. What a shock that those so-called intellectuals and libs from the East, presumably the North East would believe less than the rest of the country.

What Barack Obama, No Easter Greating … Then Scoffing at Media Questions

From the president who never met a Muslin holiday he did not like or did not feel the need to issue a public proclamation for comes Barack Hussein Obama’s lack of an Easter message. What is wrong with this President that he cannot seem fit to issue a public proclamation for a Christan holiday? Is this a character flaw or is there a more insidious issue?

Just when I thought the current team running the White House might have used up all its allotted mistakes comes word that President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.

Now, let’s forget for a moment that these greetings, which presidents issue on many holidays and commemorations of events, are largely perfunctory and symbolic gestures that nobody cares about.

Then to make matters worse, Obama’s own Presidential Press Secretary Carney laughs off  Barack Obama not giving and  Easter statement. What is wrong with this Administration? Seriously.

As reported at The Hill:

Carney also scoffed at media reports calling out the White House for not releasing a statement commemorating Easter on Sunday, explaining Obama and his family attended church services in Washington.

Happy Easter 2011 from Scared Monkeys … HE IS RISEN, TRULY, HE IS RISEN!

Wishing every one a very Happy and Blessed Easter …

Please remember today while spending time with family, participating in Easter egg hunts, opening Easter baskets and having Easter dinner … the reason for the season. He has risen, he has truly risen. The promise of eternal hope …

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16,KJV)

As Michael W. Smith sings in his song, ‘Here I am to Worship’ … “I will never know just how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross”.

Barack Obama Attends Church in DC this Sunday … Churchgoers on Obama’s Attendance, “We’ve Been Waiting Two Years For This”

Hell just froze over … President Barack Obama attends church.

As reported at the Washington Post, one church goer stated “We have been waiting to see this for two years.” Maybe Barack Obama does not attend church on a regular basis because he misses the good old days of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his inspiring sermons on love, togetherness and peaceful discourse. As the Gateway Pundit states, Obama has not been able to find a pastor who can match his former mentor’s spirit and insight.

Metroplian AME was filled with people who are waiting to see the Obama family.

“We have been waiting to see this for two years,” said one church member as he passed through a line of metal detectors.

President Obama and the first family will join D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray to worship at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Northwest during a service that will reflect on the spiritual fervor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Last year the president delivered a major address the Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Districts Vermont Avenue Baptist Church where King spoke when he was alive.

Reverend Wright, he is a wonderful man … so says Barack Obama

One of the church members above stated, “we have been waiting to see this for two years.”  Funny, the unemployed in America have been saying the same thing about getting a job under this president.

UNREAL, Ad Displaying Doritos Used as Eucharist Pulled from Super Bowl

How disrespectful and offensive could the Pepsi owned Doritos possible be?

Doritos, the body of Christ, gee Pepsi, why didn’t you just make it the ultimate Christian insult and have Diet Pepsi as the blood of Our Saviour as well?

Doritos and Pepsi MAX Crash the Super Bowl is creating quite an uproar with their controversial commercial titled: Feed the Flock. It has garnered so much negative reaction that the ad was pulled from Super Bowl XLV.  How could any one not think that this  sacrilegious ad would not be found disgusting and offensive? Are the people at Doritos that ignorant, or are they just a bunch of non-believers.

Step aside Tim Tebow. The evangelical quarterback’s pro-family ad was last year’s Super Bowl ad dust up. In 2011, the hot spot is an entry in the annual Pepsi-owned Doritos Crash the Super Bowl ad contest that will never air for being over-the-top offensive to people who take Communion seriously. It plays the bread and wine for snack food.

But the body and blood of Christ are no joke to those who believe they are in Communion with their God when they accept the Eucharist and the wine during Mass.

 How could anyone sit in a board room, approve this ad and not think that it was offensive?

Feed the Flock begins with a priest (maybe Catholic, maybe Anglican or Episcopal) at his desk surrounded by bills for the parish, which clearly needs more income in the collection plate (why else show the stack of bills?).

Since it’s his job to offer spiritual food to the flock, he takes it to another level (the pits, I’d say). The video shows the faithful lining up for Communion and getting Doritos (in two flavors, no less) instead of the wafer (which Catholics believe is the body of Christ and others see as symbolic of Christ). And, you guessed it, the wine, considered by Catholics to be the blood of Christ, is dished out as Pepsi MAX.

More from the Blogprof… of course it mocked Catholicism. I guess its a given that Doritos will no longer be a staple snack for Catholics.

The maker of the ad, a Philadelphia firm called Media Wave Productions and Dave Williams, president of MediaWave, claims that the ad was not intended to offend. Really sir, then you are either a liar or maybe one of the most ignorant individuals ever. As stated at Atlas Shruggs, isn’t it just amazing that the gutless companies like Pepsi do not have the cojones to do such an ad insulting Mohammad or Islam. What’s the matter, you don’t want your headquarters blown up or your exec’s heads to be cut off?

Seriously, I dare you companies to make such a disrespectful ad about Islam. I double dog dare you.

Washington State High School Football Player Penalized for Excessive Celebration For Honoring God

What part about honoring God is “excessive celebration”?

A Washington state high school football player Ronnie Hastie was penalized after scoring a TD for “excessive celebration”. What did he do, did he dive and do a flip into the end zone? Did he pound his chest and taunt the opposing player? Did he do a dance and spike the football? No, Ronnie simply dropped to his knew, pointed to the heaven and and gave praise to God. That’s excessive?  Who knew we had atheist referees. Had this ref pulled this BS call in Texas rather than Washington state, he would have been fired. Some one really needs to sit this “power hungry” ref and educate him that his actions were excessive.

UNBELIEVABLE!Hastie had done the same thing all year after scoring 17 touch downs and had never received a penalty before. The rules say that you are not supposed to bring attention to your selfand are supposed to give up the ball immediately. A note to the dumb-ass referee, he wasn’t bringing attention to himself … he was doing just the opposite, he was giving glory to God.  Even the folks at CNN saw nothing wrong with this two second act. I guess this fool of a ref has never saw the moving ‘Facing the Giants’.

As long as we honor God, nothing is impossible … nothing!

Taking a knee and praising God is something that is done at every level of football from Pee Wee, pop Warner, high school to college to the NFL. But for some reason this clueless, Godless ref is his pea brain mind thinks that a player praising himself is the same as God. Thankfully, Tumwater went on to beat East Vally in the semifinals 63 – 27. Tumwater went on to win the 2A Championship over No. 1 Archbishop Murphy 34 – 14.

Heck, had the kid scored again and the score was that lopsided, if I were the coach I would have given Ronnie Hastie a Bible and have him read his favorite verse following a score.
