Give up your iPod for Lent, bishops urge

Posted by Billy on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 8:59:47 PM

British church leaders are encouraging people to give up their iPods for Lent, instead of more traditional vices such as chocolate, to help save the planet.

The Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, and the Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones, are among those calling for a carbon fast for Lent -- a period ahead of Easter which Christians traditionally consider a time of penance and reflection -- which begins on Wednesday.

As well as spending a day without using technology such as mobile phones or iPods, the 46 daily suggestions also include eating by candlelight, cutting meat and vegetables thinner so they cook faster and flushing the toilet less often.

(How sad is it when th PC talk hits the church. Those who are in spiritual leadership need to help people find  out what a relationship with God is all about and how to grow in that relationship. There should not be this worldly talk of putting the planet ahead of people and faith in God inside the church. Read more on this issue Give up your iPod for Lent, bishops urge.)

Quebec doctors: Time for euthanasia has come...

Posted by Billy on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 8:55:36 PM

Euthanasia is already a reality in Quebec hospitals, the president of the federation of Quebec medical specialists, told a National Assembly committee yesterday.

Doctors know when death is "imminent and inevitable," Gaétan Barrette explained.

But doctors are aware they can be charged with murder if they administer a "palliative sedative" before a patient is on his or her last breath.

Geoffrey Kelley, chairman of the committee, explained that MNAs will hear about 30 expert witnesses on "dying with dignity" to prepare a paper for a travelling public consultation this fall. (Quebec doctors: Time for euthanasia has come...  )

Barrette told the committee the issue of euthanasia could not be discussed in Quebec 50 years ago, comparing it with the evolution in thinking about abortion.

"Doctors are ready to debate euthanasia," Barrette said. And like abortion, he said, limits must be established. Not every patient will want euthanasia and not all doctors will agree to perform the procedure.

Barrette explained that a patient who is lucid consults with a doctor, friends and family members before requesting euthanasia.

(We here in America need to be careful with this kind of talk. This could be something that comes to pass thanks to government health care. That is why we need to value all human life as a gift from God. It doesn't matter if it is an unborn child or an older person who has lived for years. All life is a gift and death should not be rushed by anyone.)

Obama appoints Muslim envoy and Makes us Look Weak

Posted by Billy on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 8:41:22 PM

An Islamic critic and terrorism expert says President Barack Obama should not have named a special envoy to an Islamic organization that is an absolute enemy of the United States.

 

President Barack Obama has named White House lawyer Rashad Hussain as his special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which represents 57 Muslim countries. 

"It takes two to repair relations, and he's not going to be able to do it on his own," comments Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch. "He's reaching out and reaching out and reaching out, and all he is doing is giving them the impression that we're weak, and that's really the way in which the Islamic Jihad groups operate. They understand weakness and strength. They don't understand conciliation; they see it as weakness."

(Obama has not showing  us he is ready to fight those who hate us. These people won't be happy until every Jew, Christian is dead and our way of life is history. Thanks President Obama for making us look weak. Read more of the above story Obama appoints Muslim envoy.)

Doctors learn to treat Sudanese but At what Price Thanks to Planned Parenthood

Posted by Billy on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 8:28:17 PM

The large Sudanese population in Nebraska and Iowa brings unique challenges to the doctors and nurses who treat them, and a Sudanese physician this week tried to provide some solutions.

Dr. Muawia Gorti spoke this week in Omaha with representatives of Planned Parenthood, the Charles Drew Health Center, the University of Nebraska Medical Center and other groups. Gorti, who is employed by Planned Parenthood’s international division, addressed that agency’s clinicians and staffers earlier in the week in Des Moines. (Doctors learn to treat Sudanese  )

Gorti and those he spoke to agreed that the Sudanese display vast cultural differences and foreign notions of medical care.

Although many experts say Omaha has one of the largest Sudanese populations in the nation, pinning down that number, like grasping Sudanese culture, has proven elusive.

Maggie Kalkowski, a Lutheran Family Services official at the Omaha meeting, said estimates have ranged in Omaha from 6,000 to 25,000.

Penny Dickey, chief operating officer for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, estimated that Iowa has 6,000 people of Sudanese origin

( The above is part of a story which was in my local paper a few days ago. I am sorry but anytime Planned Parenthood is involved I get a funny feeling.  This is a group which will do everything in it's power to kill babies and to keep them from being  born  regardless what race or culture they are. Also  Planned Parenthood will do what it can to keep parents from knowing what their children are doing.)

For elderly Russian, man accused as camp guard is vivid memory

Posted by Billy on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 11:10:42 AM

His name is Alexei Vaitsen. He is one of the few Jews to survive the torments of the Nazis' Sobibor death camp and the only member of his family who lived to see the end of World War II.

His thoughts these days are hundreds of miles away, in a distant courtroom where the fate of another sick old man is being weighed. John Demjanjuk, who is accused of being a guard at Sobibor, lay on a bed before a judge in Germany last week because, he said, he was not well enough to sit upright.

In Munich, where Demjanjuk is on trial, other aged prisoners have climbed into the witness box. They described the sadism of the guards, detailed the terrors of gas chambers and talked about Jews being led obliviously to their deaths. None of them could remember Demjanjuk.

Vaitsen says he can. 

"It's him. I know him," Vaitsen, 88, says vehemently. "I'm 100% sure."

(My heart as all of our hearts should go out  to those who survived or saw love ones killed during   the evil of the death camps. Also something from the Bible comes to my mind,  "your sins will find you out." A soul can hide from the evil they have done but you can't hide from God. Lets hope justice is done for  Vaitsen and others who will never forget the evil they saw in these camps.  Read more of the above story For elderly Russian, man accused as camp guard is vivid memory.)
