The Dawn Patrol is reporting that Planned Parenthood Golden Gate is in a way boasting that they covered up a rape of a 11 year old girl by here then 17 years old boy friend.
In their quest to “protect a womans right” to murder their unborn child, they break the law, and alowe a rapest to stay out of jail, so that he can rape other people.

Here is the text from Planned Murderhood’s site:

It Keeps Us Safe

I was raped at 11, by my 17 year old boyfriend. I chose not to tell my parents because I didn’t think their involvement would help, that was the right choice for me. Planned Parethood helped me deal with the aftermath of the rape allowing me to deal and cope as best as I could in my own way. I was 14 when I decided to start having sex, the day I made that choice I made an appointment to get birth control pills. I’m 17 now, I’ve been with my current boyfriend for about two years. During that time i’ve been HIV and STD tested four times. Right now I’m sitting in the waiting room while my boyfriend gets the results for his HIV test. We love each other so we’re responsible and Planned Parenthood helps us to do that.

UPDATE: Planned Murderhood has removed the page about the child that was raped, that they faild to report to the police, as they were required to by law. I have change the link to instead of pointing to a 404 page, to the screen shot I took last night.

Christmas decoration

I will be putting up my Christmas decorations tomorrow. I know most people will wonder why the heck I am doing it on the 14th. No it not because I am lazy or forgot about it. The reason is that growing up my family always put up the Christmas Tree on the 14th and did the decorations then. I know the 14th does sound odd to most people, but here is the reason for the 14th and why my family did it on the 14th. My older brother (Christian) was born Dec 14. So that how we got to the 14th as a day to decorate the tree. Also I will have to call him tomorrow.

A strange place to find fun

Ok this first some back history, the back history is nothing good, in fact I would say it is awful. Today when I was heading out of the office, I found a woman who was having trouble getting up a hill, Fillmore St, because all of the ice on the road, the road was pretty much a sheet of ice. I found out from her that she was original going down the hill, but her car had spun 180 degrees on her. That got to be scary for any one. Well here is where the fun did start. I tried to help her by pushing on the back of her car, as she tried to gas it so she could get going. Well I did not have the strength to do it, so I got the idea that I would get some of the salt that is at the back door of the building I work at, I was not even a minute walk away from the office. There I find a coworker who helps us out, we first drop allot of the salt under her tires and around where she, we hope, would be driving so she could get some traction. After we did that George and I get behind her car, we found a small spot that was not ice were we could plant our feet, and pushed as she hit the gas. It was fun and what a thrill when her tires got traction and she was able to get going. I know an odd place to find some fun and a thrill but still.
While we were talking, BSing more like it while we were putting down the ice, we find out she is also a fellow CMU employee, she works in SEI, and George and I are in CASOS (under ISRI)

Intelligent Design: We have some new allies in this debate, and they are not Christians

The Sun Sentinel in Florida is running a story on how a Orthodox Jewish group is joining in on the fight for Intelligent Design. I will admit I am not surprised by it, since the book of Geneses is the first book of the Bible (the Old Testament) and the Old Testament comes right out of the Torah. So both Christians and Jews share the book of Geneses (the first Book of Moses).

Some protest a death in CA, but the same would love to see a child murdered in MA

The Free Republic is reprinting a story from the AP. On how in MA a child is going to be put to death by the state. The child’s only crime is to be beaten by a bad father. Yet yesterday in CA liberals were all upset that a convicted killer was going to be put to death. (Let me also say here, I am not sure on the death penalty, and I am not sure Tookie should have been put to death. The loss of life, any life, is a loss to all)
The question is why do the liberals protest over the death of a guilty person (one convicted of murding 4 people), yet when it comes a innocent child (in this case a child that was beaten at the age of 11, but it easily could be a unborn child) they will call it, a “woman’s choice” or “death with dignity” but they will not call it what it is MURDER.

Well I tried to see if I could reinable trackbacks here, but the spammers have made it 100% clear that trackbacks on the internet now are a bad idea. So I have again disabled trackbacks on my blog, never to be reinabled again.

Rush addes video to the pod cast for 24/7 subscribers

Well tonight I get home and get a message on my mac that the “Rush 24/7” software has been updated, and was restarting. When it restarted it downloaded the first of the video parts of Rushes Podcasts, it is the morning update that he does. Well the first one was not a morrning update, but a welcome message to the new video podcast part. So now every day, the software will get for me, the Rush Limbaugh show as an mp3, and a video of him doing the morrning update.
I had in the past turned off the video part of iTunes on my mac because I did not think I would have a use for it, but now, I have turned the video part of iTunes back on, just to keep the stuff organized on the computer (I like how iTunes has things done on it).

I saw this over at Power Ball’s Blog It is about the liberal attack on the word Christmas.

In keeping with the spirit of political correctness, PowerBlog! recommends the adoption of the following songs at Holidaytime:

“I’m Dreaming of a White Holiday”; “O Holiday Tree”; “All I Want for The Holiday Is My Two Front Teeth”; “We Wish You a Merry Holiday”; “The Twelve Days of the Holiday”; “The Holiday Song”; “Rockin’ Around The Holiday Tree”; “You’re All I Want For The Holiday”; “Baby’s First Holiday”; “Do They Know It’s The Holiday”; “Merry Holiday Darling”; “I’ll Be Home For The Holiday”; “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like The Holiday”; “Blue Holiday”; “The Holiday Waltz”; “Holly Jolly Holiday”; “So This Is The Holiday”; “Merry, Merry Holiday Baby”; “Have Yourself a Merry Little Holiday”; “Twas the Night Before The Holiday”; “Holiday Serenade”; “Feliz Vacaciones.

Happy Sparkle Season!”

I would like to thank Power Ball for promition to reposting this.

A web site called “Old Lutheran” now has some Gym Shorts, making fun of the stupid left behind books and movies (ok for the record I am an Amillennialist (click this link for the LCMS’s document on the different views of the end times), so I reject the pre-tribulation rapture of the faithfull) I found this more funny then the Simpsons “Left below” episode.
