Back in more innocent times, radical homosexual activists knew their place: Either they stayed deep in the closet, or they were ghettoized in decadent coastal enclaves, where they toiled away in their florist shops by day and buggered one another randily by night. As disgusting as their chosen lifestyle was, there was a certain comfort in knowing that those of us who subscribe to Heartland Values wouldn't have to worry about getting AIDS from riding the same buses as these perverts, so long as we stayed clear of New York City or the west coast. Sadly, things went horribly wrong, and now the scourge of homosexuality is spreading like wildfire throughout Our Nation. As the New York Times gleefully reports:

There has been a notable shift of gravity from the Castro, with young gay men and lesbians fanning out into less-expensive neighborhoods like Mission Dolores and the Outer Sunset, and farther away to Marin and Alameda Counties, “mirroring national trends where you are seeing same-sex couples becoming less urban, even as the population become slightly more urban,” said Gary J. Gates, a demographer and senior research fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles.

At the same time, cities not widely considered gay meccas have seen a sharp increase in same-sex couples. Among them: Fort Worth; El Paso; Albuquerque; Louisville, Ky.; and Virginia Beach, according to census figures and extrapolations by Dr. Gates for The New York Times. “Twenty years ago, if you were gay and lived in rural Kansas, you went to San Francisco or New York,” he said. “Now you can just go to Kansas City.”

This is an Outrage of the highest magnitude. When radical homosexual activists invade a community, they bring their violent crime, loud music, and annoying toy dogs along with them, resulting in a decreased quality of life for those of who are in this country legally. It's only a matter of time before the nancies have colonized all of America's backbone and squeeze us Christians out altogether. In fact, the more I think about it, it seems like they're trying to make life so unbearable for us people of Faith that we'll have no choice but to illegally cross the border into Mexico, where we'll be enslaved in Chairman Hillary's maquiladoras and spend the rest of our lives stringing plastic beads for gay pride festivals. Christians, join me in calling for and end to this prairie homo invasion, before it's too late. Praise Him!

Islezbofascist Awareness Week: Scientists, the new pornographers

Sister Nancy Beth is a passionate adherent of the First Amendment, at least as our Christian Founding Fathers intended for it to be used. Nothing rouses my suspicions quite like handmaidens of The Left wringing their hands and crying "censorship," as you can bet dollars to donuts that whatever they're being prevented from expressing is pornographic, un-American, and blatantly anti-Christian. As far as I'm concerned, whoever's shutting them up is doing the American public a tremendous service, since it typically means preventing me from having to Witness some performance artist of indeterminate gender spray catsup out of its orifices while ranting about what a monster Our President is. This time is no exception:

Environmental and public health experts overwhelmingly denounced editing by the White House of a federal health agency head's testimony to Congress Tuesday. Significant deletions were made from the testimony, concerning global warming and the potential impact on human health.

The original, unedited testimony presented to Congress by Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and obtained by ABC News was 14 pages long, but the White House Office of Management and Budget edited the final version down to a mere six pages.

Scientists and public health organizations called the move "frustrating," "terrible" and "appalling." The edits essentially deleted all sections that referred to climate change as a public health concern -- including the risks of increased food-borne and waterborne diseases, worsening extreme weather events, worsening air pollution and the effect of heat stress on humans.

Science, as it routinely demonstrates, is an enormous junk industry set up to give cover to the most egregious excesses that liberals routinely engage in, like the constant God-bashing of evolution, homosexuality, protecting endangered species, etc. And, it's resolutely filthy. I'm not surprised these "scientists" are unhappy Our President had the good taste to excise their exacting details about what global warming will do to our digestive tracts, because it probably read like a scatological fantasy scene more befitting the homosexual congregants of the Folsom Street Fair than the greatest nation on earth. Just take a look at the smut that passes for research elsewhere in the learned and gentlemanly circles of science, this time about industrial "toxins":

Also testifying that day was Dr. Shanna Swan, director of the Center for Reproductive Epidemiology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, in New York. Dr. Swan conducted a study, published in the June 2005 Environmental Health Perspectives, that sent shock waves through the medical community. Swan took urine samples from 134 pregnant women in Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Columbia, Missouri, and tested them for phthalates. The results showed an apparent correlation between women who had higher phthalate levels in their urine and the fact that their male children, within thirteen months of birth, showed "reduced ano-genital distance (AGD)." That measurement of the distance between the anus and the scrotum is a means of distinguishing between male and female rodents and is a key indicator of testosterone levels. Dr. Gray has been seeing shorter AGDs in rats fed phthalates--now Dr. Swan was seeing it in humans.

Disgusting! Liberals may think they have the right to shock us with their vulgar and explicit "scholarship," but their findings are nothing more than ways to indulge in and validate their unnatural sexual inclinations. I for one applaud Our President for keeping science clean. In doing so, he preserves the values that have made America great and have kept us from being attacked by terrorists for the past six years. Praise Him!

Islezbofascist Awareness Week: The homosexual-jihad connection

The Bible counsels that sparing the rod means spoiling the child, but I'm pretty sure that there's one rod that we all agree Our Nation's children should be spared: the offending, heavily-veined sort protruding from your typical radical homosexual activist. Homosexuality remains one of Satan's most irresistible vices, and the hours of extensive internet research I've done on this topic (WARNING: totally NSFW link) indicates that even the most resolutely heterosexual male is but two tequila shots away from violating God's Sacred laws. We are teetering on the edge of a Moral precipice, and the only thing keeping America from plummeting into the nightmare abyss of unrepentant sodomy and endless Will & Grace marathons is the ability of ten year olds to call their classmates faggots. Not surprisingly, The Left is trying to restrict this nearly Sacramental utterance, and is using it as an opportunity to brainwash our children into their godless cult of "tolerance." Prayer Warriors OneNewsNow alert us to the latest classroom turned into a Maoist re-education camp:

A California-based pro-family activist is outraged that a San Diego public school teacher is teaching third graders that homosexuality is acceptable, and that a San Diego news website is glorifying the teacher's indoctrination techniques.

A website called Voice of San Diego recently profiled a third-grade teacher, Mick Rabin, who uses his classroom to promote homosexuality to his young pupils, according to San Diego-based pro-family advocate James Hartline. Hartline says parents need to know what is happening in public school classrooms, and demand control over their tax-funded schools.

I found the website in question, and as you can imagine, it's so unrepentant in its glorification of the deviant Homosexual Lifestyle that you'd think the thing was ghost-written by Jean Genet himself. And as we see, not even an avowed heterosexual can resist its gravitational pull:

Rabin embraces difference. Straight and married, he lobbies for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender kids through the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, as co-chairman and treasurer of its San Diego chapter. He recently won San Diego Pride's "Friend of the Year" award for his work. A former Eagle Scout, he turned in his badge and protested the Boy Scouts' bottom-dollar lease of Balboa Park, citing the group's exclusion of LGBT and atheist boys.

If you're like me, your jaw dropped upon learning that even married people can be assimilated into the militant anti-family shock troops. The homos have clearly made some sort of quantum leap in their recruitment techniques for this to happen, and I have sent email message after email message beseeching DHS chief Michael Chertoff to raise the terror threat level accordingly, at least until it can be investigated further. This is like suitcase nukes meets small pox, only ten times worse, and all the duct tape in the world won't keep all the gay away this time. Praise Him!

Celebrate Islezbofascist Awareness Week

By my calculations, there isn't a day that goes by that doesn't afford liberals the occasion to express their deep hatred for all things American. Whether it's Ramadan, Cinco de Mayo, or Staff Appreciation Week, The Left's calendar is chock-a-block with opportunities to drop acid, praise homosexuality, and advance World Communism, all to the detriment of National Security.

However, just as he has done on college campuses, Prayer Warrior David Horowitz is trying to restore some balance to Our Nation's days of remembrance. This week marks Islamic-Fascism Awareness Week, a time for us to note that the public stonings of adulterers and hangings of homosexuals as practiced by Muslims are barbaric and unconscionable.

In the spirit of Mr. Horowitz's work of identifying America's enemies, I'd like to embiggen the focus of this week's festivities. I'll be spotlighting any number of terrorist collaborators (radical homosexual activists, environmentalists, Wrigley's Chewing Gum) who, whether working independently or in concert with the Muslims, are actively trying to ruin America... or as I like to call it, Islezbofascism.

Today's threat to Freedom are the heathen Chinee, whose high male birthrate (120 boys to 100 girls) threatens to have drastic consequences for Our Nation:

China's surplus males may be developing into a permanent angry underclass capable of being dangerously exploited. As in Lanzhou, unemployed unmarried men dominate China's 150-million-strong pool of migrant labor, and most of them have no prospect of obtaining an education or long-term job. These "surplus males" increasingly congregate in certain areas of cities -- train and bus stations are favorites -- and have begun to form gangs. As China faces a wildfire of protests concerning labor and property rights, as well as other issues -- the number of "mass incidents," or large protests, in the country rose more than 500% between 1994 and 2005 -- companies or local officials have started hiring members of this male underclass as thugs. This has led to more violent confrontations in factories, physical attacks on local activists and journalists, and peasants being forced off land that developers covet.

Worse, as the study by den Boer and Hudson suggests, the Chinese military could recruit from the country's male underclass. Throughout history, one way to use surplus men is to send them abroad to fight wars, and the paramilitary People's Armed Police reportedly has been beefing up its ranks.

I know exactly where this is going to lead: to a stall in the men's room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. As the recent unpleasantness with Senator Craig amply demonstrates, a preponderance of males, as there is in the Senate and there is in Red China, leads to a natural uptick in homosexual activity, and it's just a matter of time before China reaches its own flashpoint of public sodomy.

In many ways, these men, if not all men, are the victims of Feminism. Who's to say how many female senators we'd presently have if America hadn't ceded to the demands of the feminists and made abortion somewhat legal? Clearly the only hope we have of restoring heterosexuality and warding off the impending dick-sucking holocaust is by outlawing abortion once and for all. Praise Him!

Whore academy

Among the "sins" noted moonbat Mahatma Gandhi once prattled off, presumably while stoned, were "wealth without work" and "religion without sacrifice," clear indications that had he not been offed by a fellow raghead (see, they're not all bad), his cryogenically preserved head would be rallying the Kossacks against the permanent repeal of the estate tax and the prominent role of upstanding Christians like James Dobson in contemporary civic life. While the Catholic Church has done quite nicely with their original list of the seven deadly sins, I've long thought we've needed an update, both as a rebuttal to the crazed ravings of Osama bin Gandhi, and also as it applies to the horrors liberals are presently inflicting on Our Nation.

While homosexuality in all its disgusting forms and health insurance for children with heart defects would take their shameful place on this dishonor roll, first off would undoubtedly be "sex without unwanted pregnancy or venereal disease." Not speaking out against this Evil risks turning us further into a nation of sex-hungry perverts, and sadly, The Left is doing just that:

In the end [Excuse me??? - SNBE], it wasn't even close. The Portland School Committee voted 7 to 2 last night to allow the health center at the King Middle School in Portland, Maine, to offer birth control prescriptions to its students, who range in age from 10 to 15. Dr. Pat Patterson, the medical director of School-Based Health Services in Portland said she was "thrilled" with the vote. "The past few days have been very distressing and very difficult for the school. People have been really charged up against us. But I'm happy with the vote." ...

The proposal has sparked a national debate about just how "young is too young" for contraceptive services. In recent days, media outlets from coast to coast have picked up the story. And talk radio shows have done their bit to stir the pot. School committee members said they have been deluged with e-mail messages expressing outrage against the proposal. One resident said she heard about the controversy because Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., founded by the late evangelist Jerry Falwell, had organized a prayer circle to pray against the proposal.

Rita Feeney, president of the Maine Right to Life Committee, argued that while health officials talk about 14- and 15-year-olds, it is possible that children as young as 10 or 11 could receive prescriptions for the pill. "An 11-year-old who is sexually active is suffering from abuse they are just not emotionally capable of having sex," said Feeney.

Abstinence-only sex education can only go so far in ensuring that young people experience the natural consequences of Sinful sexual experimentation, and this is a colossal step backwards from showing what God wants for His precious young people. As heartbreaking as that may be, it also represents something far more insidious: The Left is trying to woo future generations of Democrat voters with the promise of free & easy sex. If only they realized this deal was costing them their Innocence, perhaps their beavers wouldn't be so eager to enter into this vile bargain. Praise Him!

John Doe manifestations

I hope you'll forgive my recent lack of posts, Christians, but I've spent this past week watching the Graeme Frost story unfold across the internets and engaging in deep spiritual self-reflection about the role I want to play in the conservative blogosphere. I see my continued participation comes down to the following crux: Do I join the digital lynch mob calling for the scalps of the Frost family? Or do I anonymously post the names, pictures, and contact information of my pro-Democrat neighbors whom I suspect receive public assistance on FreeRepublic.com, with the hopes of diverting some of this rage towards them?


Obviously it's a hard call, with compelling arguments for both courses of action. The case against the Frosts is pretty much airtight. Citizen journalism at its finest has shown that the Frosts are a family of leeches who have yet to meet an institution, private or public, that they haven't been able to suck the blood out of. I've even received an email from a neighbor* implying that the injuries the Frost children suffered in the SUV accident were actually self-inflicted, with the intent of garnering the maximum amount of public sympathy and medical benefits possible.


Then again, my own neighbors are pretty nasty pieces of work themselves. The dad appears to have a job, but the mom stays at home with the newborn. Their car, a late model Toyota, has a "War is not the Answer" bumpersticker on it. I'm not quite sure what the dad does, as rummaging through their trash has been inconclusive, but it strikes me as quite an impossibility that he can afford this lavish lifestyle (an apartment in West Hollywood where monthly rent for 1-bedrooms starts around $1300, gas for the moonbatmobile, plus the occasional pizza delivery) and provide health insurance for his family without sucking on the public teat. Additionally, I should point out that many people who live in this neighborhood are Russian, so they could very well be communists, too.

With such a damning indictment against them, you're probably wondering why I haven't already rallied the troops to teach these parasites a lesson in personal accountability. Well, as Michelle Malkin has said, choices have consequences, and if some Freedom-loving patriot were to firebomb their apartment, it's conceivable that the flames could jump to my car, whose parking space is very close to their apartment. Also, some leftard blogger might even challenge me to a kickboxing duel, the thought of which leaves me trrrrembling... With. Laughter.

As you can see, I am still torn about which path to pursue, but I will continue to consult my Prayer Warriors for guidance in this matter. Praise Him!

*Not necessarily a neighbor of the Frosts.

Interstellar overthrow

When you wish upon a star...

Astronomers are frequent accomplices of the Darwinists. Their Big Bang theory sets the perfect timeframe for that scientific fairy tale better known as Evolution, obscuring what would otherwise be the well-known fact that the earth was actually created on October 23, 4004 B.C., some time shortly after lunch. The damage astronomers have done to Freedom is incalculable, and the fact that MSM willingly runs their daily horoscopes in their newspapers shows how tightly interwoven this conspiracy against Christianity truly is.

If those were the only enemies of Our Nation the astronomers were consorting with. Jesus & I were taken aback by a very bright star this morning as we headed out to protest the gym, and wouldn't you know it, it's another step towards sharia:

YOU'VE SIMPLY got to look out the window at 6 a.m. Sure you'd rather sleep, but this one's worth setting the alarm for. You'll see the best Morning Star of this young millennium, the best conjunction of the year, and it's simply not going to hang there forever.

Venus has now swung to the edge of its orbit while at the same time attaining greatest brilliancy. Translation: This dazzling UFO rises not near dawn, its usual M.O. At six, when twilight is still dim, it stands fully 30 degrees high, enough to clear trees and hills. For many people, a peek out the east-facing window is enough to do the trick.

This Sunday, October 7, Venus meets the crescent moon in a display so glorious, an earlier conjunction of this kind inspired the symbol of the religion of Islam. It therefore appears on the flags of a dozen nations. That same morning, two lesser stars hover like fireflies around the two big luminaries. The blue one is Regulus, the alpha star of Leo. The other, slightly yellowish, is Saturn. If you'd like the full treatment and want to see this fine four-way conjunction, set the alarm a bit earlier, to 5:30 a.m., so that the background sky is fully black.

Sweet Jesus, raise the threat level to red! How many more "Religions" "of" "Peace" will this little stunt inspire to murderous heights of 9/11? The fact that anyone would draw attention to this dangerous phenomenon and help recruit a million more jihadis shows that they are on the side of the terrorists. And they wonder why we question their Patriotism? It's high time the American public woke up to this dangerous ruse the liberal media, the astronomers, and the Muslims have going on, before it's too late. Praise Him!

Devilcrat watch

† The Democrat presidential primary is a beauty pageant in which the candidates try to demonstrate that they hate America more than their rivals, and since Osama Bin Laden probably couldn't sneak into the country to accept their nomination, they'll just name Hillary Clinton instead. But it looks as if dark horse Barack Hussein Obama may take the lead with his latest fatwa against Our Nation:

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a [flag lapel] pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest.

"Instead," he said, "I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."

Or maybe he just hates America. The Democrats' war on empty gestures (c.f. John Edwards' bumper sticker gaffe) may play well with their nuance-loving, Volvo-driving, French-speaking constituents, but to those of us who love Freedom, he might as well burn an American flag... which he'll probably do while he proudly accepts their nomination, in Arabic. Alarming, to say the least.

† Clinton the unstoppable sex machine: God help us, it looks as if DC's drycleaners will be removing Bill Clinton's DNA from another generation of interns' dresses. Chairman Hillary's seductive wiles probably rank up their with Rosie O'Donell's in terms of effectiveness on the gentlemen of the species, but somehow (black magic? widespread ingestion of lead paint?), male Democrats are warming up to this castrating shrew:

An ABC/Washington Post poll released Oct. 3 shows that 48 percent of Democratic men — a rise from 29 percent at the beginning of September — support her presidential bid.

This is clearly another symptom of America's declining Morals, as the article goes on to speculate that part of her appeal may be a sense of nostalgia for Bill Clinton's police state:

"This country was rocking and rolling when the Clintons were in office," said Walter Cheadle, a 64-year-old independent. "I consider her a very intelligent woman. She was in the White House for eight years with her husband and she has all that experience."

The only upside: the possiblity of 4/8 years of endless congressional inquiries into her 1974 tax returns. Glory!

† Despite the missteps Our President has made dealing with illegal immigrants, he has a good heart, and of all the political figures I can think of, he's the one I'd most like to drink a beer and do a line of blow with. His agenda of Compassionate Convervatism was on full display this week when he spared future generations of children the horrors of dependence on the federal government for their health insurance (that's for when they're 65) and vetoed the expansion of the SCHIP bill. Instead of leading them down the slippery slope of welfare spongehood, he taught America's Youth a valuable and character-building lesson: If you want something bad enough, get a job and have your employer provide you with it. And how do the Democrats respond? Like total assholes:

The House of Representatives will wait two weeks before voting to overturn or uphold President Bush's veto of the proposed expansion of a children's health insurance program, even though they argued earlier that time was the critical issue in forcing the legislation through Congress. ...

Democrats have already started running ads in some Republican districts criticizing the Republican member's vote on the SCHIP bill. Democrats can use the next two weeks to try to convince enough Republicans to switch their votes so they can override the veto.

The bill Bush vetoed passed the House Sept. 25 by a vote of 265-159, short of the 290 votes needed to overturn a veto.

"The fact that they are delaying this for two weeks reflects that they're more interested in running radio and TV ads for two weeks than they are in expanding children's health insurance coverage as quickly as possible," Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) told reporters in a briefing Wednesday.

It's obvious the DemocRATS are more interested in instilling partisan loyalty in future generations of potential Democratic voters than tending to the health insurance needs of America' children. I only hope this cynical ploy blows up in their faces before they do more damage to America and the Republican Party. Praise Him!

Why we fight

One of the central concepts of Christian Cosmetology is that Our Nation's military might should be used to strategically advance the causes of Freedom, Christianity, and Cosmetology in the Middle East to ensure America's continuing hegemony. Please meet one of the architects of this strategy:

Britsh MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's senior women officials: "I hate all Iranians."

And she also accused Britain of "dismantling" the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.

The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month.

Talk about living by your principles. Not only does Miss Cagan assume an aggressive stance against militant ragheadism in her politics, but even her makeup technique can be regarded as an assault against Islezbofascism... and probably against many other things. Despite all the flack the Bush Administration receives from The Left (and, increasingly, the right), it's good to know our policies are still in the hands of people like this. Praise Him!

Don't forget Poland

Because the terrorists sure haven't:

Poland’s ambassador to Iraq was wounded on Wednesday when his diplomatic convoy was hit by a series of bombs in central Baghdad, which Polish officials described as an assassination attempt.

The fact that the terrorists have to resort to attacking the lesser entities of the Coalition of the Willing shows that the surge is working and that we have turned yet another corner. Victory is clearly within grasp, lest the Defeatocrats prematurely yank the plug on this Glorious endeavor. Praise Him!

According to our friends in the liberal media, the American workplace is becoming more accomodating to people of Faith. Unfortunately for Our Nation, though, most of these people aren't Christians:

The case of the driver with the beard, is part of a lawsuit filed against United Parcel Service by the EEOC in March on behalf of a Rastafarian named Ronnis Mason who was not hired by UPS because of his beard.

"Mason wears his beard as part of his observance of Rastafarianism, a Jamaican-born religion with around one million adherents in the world," an EEOC statements details. "Mason explained to UPS that he could not shave his beard, and UPS told him that he could then only apply for an "inside," lower-paying position that would not have contact with the public."

I have no idea what this Rastafarianism business is, but no doubt its apologists will claim it's another one of those "religions" "of" "peace," much like radical Islam. Its Jamaican roots instantly put it under a cloud of suspicion, as Jamaica's leading export is homosexual dog groomers. It's probably just a matter of time before UPS' formerly Christian work ethic is compromised beyond recognition by these poodle-clipping nancies.

Unfortunately, this isn't the only death cult out to destroy capitalism by clamoring for special treatment in the workplace:

Asking for prayer time at work is also one type of religious accommodation legal experts say is on the rise. In one particular case that is still ongoing, a group of Muslim workers at a Swift & Co. meatpacking plant were denied a request for time to pray at sunset.

“We think a 10 minute break is a reasonable accommodation,” say the attorney for the workers, Rima Kapitan, who works for the Counsel on American-Islamic relations, because it would not disrupt the factory line.

I haven't seen a more deluded September 10th way of thinking since MoveOn.org's General Betray-Us ad. America needs to get serious about the threat militant Islam presents to the processed meat industry; these 10 minute prayer breaks are invitations for the unspeakable.

Despite all the fanfare about the growing "tolerance" of religion, the sad truth of the matter is that America's Christians remain the most oppressed minority the world has ever seen. Just look at the recent actions of the the Supreme Court:

The Supreme Court opened its new term Monday refusing to get involved in two church-state disputes — one over religious organizations paying for workers' birth-control health insurance benefits, the other over an evangelical group's plea to hold religious services at a public library.

The birth-control benefits dispute was triggered by a New York state law that forces religious-based social service agencies to subsidize contraceptives as part of prescription drug coverage they offer employees.

I've long since written off America's libraries as nothing more than bottomless fonts of porn, be it of the print, online, or feltboard variety,so that's little more than insult to injury at this point. I am Outraged, however, at religious organizations being forced to provide harlot pills for their female employees. A dirty little secret that feminists don't want you to know is that many women take birth control pills recreationally with the intent of regulating their monthly Curse of Eve. Well, ladies, God is in charge of that Sinful uterus, as the occasional bit of spotting gently reminds you, and the Supreme Court is doing you no favors by reinforcing these delusions. Disgraceful.

****

Lastly, in the everything I need to know was written by the 17th century department: This rightfully deserves its own post, but it's late and I've had a hard day of Christian Persecution at the Beauty Palace. Mark your calendars to celebrate the real Earth Day:

How old is the world?

Most people would say: "Nobody knows."

But the author of the book frequently described as the greatest history book ever written, said the world was created Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. – making it exactly 6,009 last Monday.

In the 1650s, an Anglican bishop named James Ussher published his "Annals of the World," subtitled, "The Origin of Time, and Continued to the Beginning of the Emperor Vespasian's Reign and the Total Destruction and Abolition of the Temple and Commonwealth of the Jews." First published in Latin, it consisted of more than 1,600 pages.

The book, now published in English for the first time, is a favorite of homeschoolers and those who take ancient history seriously. It's the history of the world from the Garden of Eden to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.

If this article's no-hold barred approach to time (yesterday was September 30th by my calendar and 4004 BC to 2007 AD is 6011 years, but maybe that's another example of time's pronounced liberal bias) is any indication of the level of scholarship contained within this book, I'm sure it's quite a read. Praise Him!
