Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again! Jerusalem, Jerusalem – lift up your gates and sing Hosanna!

The Resurrection

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

The guards’ report
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Paul Ryan (R-Wis) once again takes the Dems to school, and busts the Slaughterhouse Rule.

The awesomeness oozes ……

Paul Ryan is Teh Man.

Healthcare Reform meets the Chicago Way Hey – you knew where he learned the ropes. What – you’re surprised?

Another version of Waterboarding, I guess you could call it. Is this Another Backroom Deal to Force Obama’s Bill Down the American People’s Throats? Looking more and more like Chicago to me, eh?

As a vote approaches on Obama and Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare, Code Red is now considering two supposedly “undecided” California Democrats, Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, to now be “yes” votes.

The U.S. Department of Interior announced yesterday that it is increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations to support local agriculture and jobs. The region has recently been starved for water and as a result unemployment has soared. Not surprisingly, Cardoza and Costa had a hand in the announcement:

“Typically, Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and Congressmen Costa and Cardoza.”(“Interior Announces Increased Water Supply Allocations in California,” U.S. Department of Interior news release, 3/16/10)

Will Cardoza and Costa come clean about this apparent backroom deal for their votes?

Call Cardoza’s district office at (209) 383-4455 and Costa’s district office at (559) 495-1620 and ask.

The nation’s Catholic bishops at the USCCB and individual bishops from across the country are speaking out in opposition to the pro-abortion health care bill. They say they would appreciate a bill to improve the nation’s health care system but they can’t support one that includes abortion funding and promotion.

Late Monday, Cardinal Francis George released a new statement titled “The Cost is too High; the Loss is too Great.”

“The Catholic Bishops of the United States have long and consistently advocated for the reform of the American health care system,” he said.

But they have also “urged that all who are sick, injured or in need receive necessary and appropriate medical assistance, and that no one be deliberately killed through an expansion of federal funding of abortion itself or of insurance plans that cover abortion.”

Cardinal George complained the Senate measure “expands federal funding and the role of the federal government in the provision of abortion procedures. In so doing, it forces all of us to become involved in an act that profoundly violates the conscience of many, the deliberate destruction of unwanted members of the human family still waiting to be born.”

There are a number of Democrats holding the line here – make sure they hear from you and let them know you have their support.

This entire thing is a disgrace.

“>Paul Ryan, (R-WI) writing today in the Washington Post:

If this debate had actually been about health care, we could have worked together to get a grip on costs, make quality care more accessible, address exclusions for preexisting conditions and realign the incentives of insurance companies with those of patients and doctors. Yet this process — including its embarrassing conclusion — demonstrates that the debate has never been about health-care policy but, instead, paternalistic ideology.

Take a look at Paul Ryan’s own roadmap to prosperity and common sense here.

Large crowds in Minnesota says Keep the Change and Kill that Bill.

Here in Wisconsin the people feel the same way and are readying the same pitchforks. Or is that tar and feathers?

We’re just not that into you, Mr. Obama.

The race for the Olympic Sponsorship Gold ended in shocking disappointment today when favorite Barack Obama failed to medal.

Obama, 48, bounded onto the gym floor to his now familiar signature tune, “Mmm, mmm, mmm”. Radiating confidence, he began his routine with the popular though low value “hope and change/change and hope” backflip.

At 6 feet 1 inch, 155 pounds and no executive experience, Obama lacks the power to pull off such stunts as the 2 1/2 twisting backflip samba favored by the gold medalist from Brazil. He compensates with “As I said before” tumbling passes, that accentuate his long limbs and rhetorical dance steps that flaunt his artistry.

Though technically perfect, Obama’s routine was all too familiar having changed little if at all from last November’s U.S. Open and the judges penalized him for it.

In the end, it was simply not enough. Brazil won the gold. Madrid the silver. Tokyo took bronze.

Shamelessly lifted from here: Go look.

Remember the other evening when President Obama addressed Congress with his eleventy-th speech on health care? He was telling the nation that OF COURSE his proposed bill would not cover illegal aliens and undocumented workers.

Pshaw you say? Well, so did Congressman Joe Wilson, who in a ‘had it up to here’ moment shouted out to the President in the Chamber : “YOU LIE!”

People were aghast. Poor Joe had to end up apologizing to Obama.

Well, it turns out that Obama may be the one needing to issue an apology. “Upon Further Review” it appears that, oh shock!, the bill would INDEED cover illegals.

“The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president’s health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson “You lie” outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the “exchange,” as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants — which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans — bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.”

Van Jones has resigned — as announced at midnight on a Saturday night before a holiday weekend.

Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Here’s the REAL importance of Van Jones’ resignation: it proves once and for all the genie is out of the bottle in terms of resistance to Dr. Utopia’s longerm plans for socialism in this nation.

The MSM refused to cover anything relating to Van Jones, because every crazy, racist, hateful thing this lunatic said is too reminiscent of all the crazy, racist, hateful things Jeremiah Wright said…and that Dr. Utopia, his wife, and Oprah Winfrey listened to and ate up for all those years at Trinity United.

Can’t report on Van Jones, and who he really is, without reporting on the similar beliefs held by Dr. Utopia, his “fashion icon” wife, and Lake Michigan’s own herds-of-cattle-devouring Charybdis, Oprah.

Can’t do that, now can they?

And yet — with no media coverage whatsoever — Van Jones was forced to resign, because people on the Internet caught wind of who he really was and conservatives and moderates stood up with outrage. Dr. Utopia was forced to backpedal on his plan to brainwash our nation’s school children into creepy, singing, Obots on National “Give Me Your Children” Indoctrination Day September 8th, because the blogosphere has been up in arms about his insistence of spending “quality Utopia Time” alone with small children he doesn’t know.

The Internet gaveth much to Dr. Utopia in his campaign…and now it taketh much from his presidency.

When Sarah Palin, private citizen, can take down the Liberals’ poorly conceived and amateurishly managed healthcare push USING ONLY SPORADIC POSTINGS ON FACEBOOK, despite the MSM’s best efforts to marginalize and destroy her, you know the MSM is officially irrelevant…a worthless propaganda arm of the rotting Democratic party.

The full scope of all this is not clear…but Van Jones is a turning point. It will be seen as such in time. Conservatives and moderates are mobilizing for the first time ever. They are banding together and defeating socialism, radicalism, and communism even with the MSM in full onslaught mode, working feverishly to protect Dr. Utopia.

THE MSM IS FAILING.

DR. UTOPIA IS FLAILING.

The tide is turning.

In honor of those parents who are vigilant about protecting their school children from the left-wing agenda, I’ve created this T shirt:

Parents simply do not trust this man with their kids. Look at who he surrounds himself with from the world of ‘education’. Some school districts are doing the right thing and saying they will opt out of this. Is your school district one of them?
