I stumbled on this over at the Patheos Evangelical Channel. Take a few minutes and watch.

 

The speaker is Angela Patton, Executive Director of Camp Diva in Richmond. Camp Diva started as a five-week summer retreat and has since expanded to offer several after-school programs, summer and other programs that empower African-American girls —young women she refers to as “at-promise.”

From Instapundit:

 

SUPERSTITION: “It occurred to me, after the Sandy Hook murders, that blaming guns is a secular substitute for blaming the devil. People find it too challenging to figure out why a human being would do this terrible thing and they latch on to the idea that the gun made it happen. Suicide presents a similar challenge, and one way to fathom it is to say: It was the gun. Isn’t it like saying the devil made him do it? The gun/the devil is a great go-to answer, freeing you from wracking your brain about the workings of the human mind.”

Obviously, one reason is: to get bigger numbers. But I think the people that lump gun deaths together believe (or want others to believe) that guns are really dangerous.

 

Guns are dangerous (that's why we have gun safety courses), So is getting inside a big metal tube and flying 4 miles above the earth at 500 mph, getting in a car at night and driving 70 mph...by the time you see something in your headlights...sorry too late you can't stop in time.

Well that is sneaky.

 

In general the gun stuff Obama just did on gun control is a bunch of fluffy garbage. BUT he did just take out the safeguard that doctors can not give information about you to the national database by name.

 

So now, doctors can not only give the government information about weather or not you own a gun by an,e...the door has been opened for the government to know the details of your health.

 

Wow. Talk about a back door not letting a crises go to waste!

Facebook temporarily bans 'Post' reporter

Khaled Abu Toameh fears shutdown was result of coordinated anti-Israel campaign following his writings on PA corruption.

Facebook temporarily shut down The Jerusalem Post reporter Khaled Abu Toameh’s Facebook page, possibly in response to a campaign by anti-Israel activists who object to Abu Toameh’s views on corruption within the Palestinian Authority.

 

On Monday, Abu Toameh posted a link to an Arabic report in a Jordanian newspaper about the corruption trial of former Jordanian intelligence chief. He also posted a link to an acerbic blog post slamming the PA that he wrote for the Gatestone Institute, where he is a contributor.

 

“The truth sometimes hurts,” Abu Toameh wrote in the blog post. “That is why the Palestinian Authority has been working hard to prevent the outside world from hearing about many occurrences that reflect negatively on its leaders or people.”

They'd be better off asking if we had swimming pools. It would save more lives.
