I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but, along with some friends of mine, I’ve been blogging for a while over at Pilgrim’s Progress. We try to restrict our discussions to pro-life discussions, the intersection of public policy and faith, and similar matters. If that sounds at all appealing, feel free to check out and subscribe to our feed. 🙂
An old priest who for years had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital, lay dying in the hospital. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
“Yes, Father?” said the nurse.
“I would really like to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden before I die,” he whispered.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father,” replied the nurse, and she respectfully forwarded the request to the DNC and waited for a response.
Surprisingly, soon the word arrived. Obama and Biden would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they made their way to the hospital, Obama commented to Biden, “I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but the media coverage will certainly help our images.”
Biden couldn’t help but agree.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Biden’s hand in his right hand and Obama’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the ancient cleric’s face.
Finally Biden spoke, “Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?”
Taking a deep breath, the old priest painfully replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior.”
“Amen,” said Obama.
“Amen,” said Biden.
The old priest continued, “He died between two lying thieves and I would like to do the same.”

There’s been much said about the (unfortunate 😉 Obama victory. Peter Kirsanow has some good words on what we need to do to help minimize the damage Obama will do the country (which we believe he will do, at least in some regard, or we would have boted for him, right? :). Something Kirsanow said, though, struck me as odd. Look at this quote:
And we conservatives need to make sure Republicans don’t go wobbly.
Conservatives need to make sure Republicans don’t go wobbly. There was a time when saying one implied the other, usually, but as we’ve seen in the last 8 years or so, that’s no longer the case.
This video is pretty awesome, even if a bit tacky in places:
Are We Lumberjacks has a great post describing the type of behavior modification we can expect under an Obama administration:
Great. And I just bought a MacBook. I’m supporting this liberal nonsense. 🙁
Hopefully you catch the use of his words against him, and hopefully you’re not fooled by his “change” mantra. He’s the same ol’ empty suit of liberal politics, but more on that later, I hope…
