Comments on: When I hear the words, “…and we pray for all the men and women standing in harm’s way to defend our country….” I reach for my revolver. http://firstword.us/2009/05/when-i-hear-the-words-and-we-pray-for-all-the-men-and-women-standing-in-harms-way-to-defend-our-country-i-reach-for-my-revolver/ How can you have the last word if you haven't heard the first?

We will be led in prayer for all the "men and women" sodomizing Iraqi children to keep our country free, and why it's all good because of Romans 13. As a woman who resigned a commission to the US Naval Academy because of coming to realize the awfulness of women in the military, I cannot see how just about everyone in church cannot see what is going on with this.

At Sea World in San Diego, owned by Anheuser-Busch, before Shamu comes out, the audience is treated to a tribute to the US Armed Forces, one of these glossy-slick Madison Avenue videos glorifying their skills and sacrifices(which are undeniable), with the capstone being the call to all in attendance who have served or are serving in the US Armed Services, as well as any of those serving in the military of any of our "Allies" around the world, to please rise and be properly thanked. Aside from the difficulty of knowing who are allies are at any given moment without a quick Orwellian glance at the day's headlines(excepting of course Israel), the obvious New World Order indoctrination of conflating this nation's armed services with all others who bow the knee to the U.S. is stunning. Everyone applauds patriotically and Corporate Fascism inches one step closer to its goals. Militarism and civil service are fast becoming the religion of the masses.

The analogy would be to a quadriplegic. You are just going to have to take our word for it until the sensation starts to come back into your limbs again as it were. But that won't happen automatically. Not “a little desensitized.” The analogy would be to a quadriplegic.

I certainly don’t view women as “meat” though, despite my typo…

The pop culture certainly views women that way. Try the movie "Fireproof (2008)." Not the world's greatest movie, but pure. No language violations, porn shots, obscenities. In fact, where the two main actors had to be hugging, they used a body double for the woman actress: the actor's real life wife! And you might well learn something actually valid about the character a husband needs to keep a woman's heart. Shotgun-Have you noticed the irony you created in misspelling Help-meet above (no. 10)?

I couldn't believe it, so I rented it again today and reviewed it, and sure enough, my memory was intact. This movie is judeo-porno-blasphemy in its very worst manifestation. It is far more damaging than the typical judeo-hard-porn for being surrounded with all the mincing and hypocritical teen-innocence that it tries to interlace. You need to stop giggling and tittering with these destroyers. Instead, whenever some of their poison seeps into your consciousness unawares, let your anger burn against them, until the day dawns when they can lawfully be put up against a wall and shot, or gas chambers constructed for them! I'm trying to think what cues failed to arouse a defensive response: the continual prurience? the gutter language? the lesbianism? the explicit porn shots and strip bars? showing pretty teens that will do anything for a baggy of hashish? the approval of co-ed "sex education," with the fawning approval of even the parents, set in the context of porn? the blasphemy of our Savior's holy name? the --- no; I can't even list all the poison in a public forum. I don't want to be unduly harsh, for I know you are washed out into and floundering in a sea of vomit known as our pop culture which you inherited by the acquiescence of the generations that went before, including my own. But for your own sake, flee from it! Ditch some of your "friends" if they are making this filth seem normal. Find an evangelical chaplain that can mentor you. Above all, come under the weekly faithful preaching of the Word of God.

To Jim...I was talking about the movie by Luke Greenfield starring Elisha Cuthbert and Emile Hirsch. I realize it may have a controversial sounding plot summary, but if you give it a chance, I think the underlying message of how a woman supposed to support her man and push his limits while being his "help-meat" is very clearly shown. (While also demonstrating the horrible way women are "raped" via popular culture.)

Thanks, Editor, for removing this vile verbal trash. Behind every wannabe reconstructionist, lies an anabaptist, it would seem, ready to smite the voice of Tradition, and the Church, whenever it touches the vices they secretly indulge in. Either that, or shotgun's a feminazi.
