As reported by the UK Telegraph and umpteen dozen other papers, pro-abortion protesters last week chanted “Hail, Satan!” at a public event in Texas ( http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100224931/pro-abortion-activists-chant-hail-satan-at-a-texas-rally-satan-doesnt-need-this-kind-of-bad-publicity/?ico=^editors_choice ). You can see and hear it on video.

So if you still think “a woman’s right to choose”–that is, her desire to kill her baby before it can be born, or even shortly after birth–is anything but satanic, you’re out of step with your fellow libs and progs. But then leftism, secular humanism, whatever else you want to call it, has always been the work of Satan. Ye shall be as gods, deciding good and evil for yourselves. It’ll work out great!

Out of one corner of their mouths you get all this pap that sounds so nice and well-meaning, if a bit muddle-headed. “We want a health care system that works for everybody!” “All we want is for marriage to be equal for everyone who loves someone else.” “We’re taxing the blood out of your veins to save the planet.” But out of the other corner you get the truth about who they really are: “Hail, Satan!”

Hey, they said it, not me…

Dear King George:

Today we celebrate our forefathers’ Declaration of Independence from you and Great Britain. We are sorry to hear that your spirit is uneasy on this day.

We apologize to you for declaring independence, shooting up your army, depriving you of your American colonies and their revenue, and making you look weak and incompetent in the eyes of the world.  Heck, all you wanted was a stamp tax and a tea tax.

We apologize for doing you all those injuries, when today we lie down on our backs for insults and injuries to which you never would have dared subject us, for fear of God’s wrath and the contempt of civilized people everywhere–insults and injuries done us by our own elected officials. Remember how we demanded our own representation? You must be laughing yourself silly, to see how that turned out!

We stood in arms against you when Britain was the greatest military power in the world. Now we tamely submit to indignities that it never, ever would have occurred to you to subject us to. We grovel before homosexuals, feminists, illegal aliens, welfare queens, community organizers, and other low forms of life. Maybe if you’d sent over a regiment of poofs and pansies instead of the Hessians and the Royal Navy, you might have won the war in a matter of days.

But be comforted, old boy–as much as we wronged you, we wrong ourselves the more.

A couple of my readers in Canada have reported that they can’t buy my new book, The Fugitive Prince, because amazon.com charges in excess of $22 per book to ship to Canada.

I have just been on the amazon.com page which lists “Shipping Rates to Canada.” According to this, Standard Shipping (for one book) totals $4.99 (per shipment)  plus $4.49 (per item)=$9.48 to have one book shipped to a customer in Canada. With Expedited Shipping, the cost would be $6.99 per shipment plus $4.49 per item=$11.38.

Those are the rates as listed by amazon.com on its official Help page.

Note: You can also order my books directly from the publisher, the Chalcedon Foundation, at http://www.chalcedon.edu . Click on “Store,” then “Books,” then “Fiction.” Or phone Chalcedon at 209-736-4365 (Ext. 12 for Orders). When Chalcedon HQ opens today, I will call and find out what is their shipping rate to Canada, and inform you accordingly.

I have no idea how two Canadian readers would arrive independently at the figure of >$22 shipping per book. But, happily, it does appear to be wrong.

PS–Upon further investigation, I can’t say whether the $22-$23 figure is right or wrong! But I have been informed that international shipping rates were sharply increased in January. Meanwhile, the shipping charge from Chalcedon (in California) to Canada is $12-$14 (depending on the weight of the book) for one book.

I admit it’s expensive, but governments determine international shipping rates and there’s not much any of us can do about it. So, ask yourself–“Would I rather read Lee’s book, which is noble and edifying and great, and keep it for myself and my family, or go to some stupid movie about a comic book and take my kids and spend $50 or $60 just to aggravate myself?”

Atheist buttonheads have unveiled their own pathetic monument outside the Bradford County Court House, Florida, to counter the presence of a Ten Commandments monument that, in a rare turn of events, they were unable to get removed.

I would have thought the mass graves in China and Cambodia, or the gulags in Siberia, would have been monument enough to atheism. But of course this particular brand of ankle-biter never has enough.

Their latest frenzy of activity is designed to hide the truth that, for all practical purposes, atheism has become the state religion of America, and the creed of its ruling class. Want proof of that? You need look no farther than last week’s infamous Supreme Court decision to gut the institution of marriage.

I am a fantasy writer, and I wish I could escape into my own books. I can’t. Nor can I impose my fantasies on the rest of the country. But atheists certainly can, and do; and socialists (plenty of overlap there!) can and do; and gender-benders can and do…

God save us.

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still–and it wasn’t of Susannah a-comin’ down the hill.

I dreamed I was standing on the beach, nobody else around, just watching the surf. And then up from the waters rose… Bill Clinton. Larger than life. He wore a wet tuxedo and looked kind of bloated, so I couldn’t be sure if he was dead or alive. And then he advanced toward me…

Of course I woke up.

By and by it occurred to me that this was not as original as it seemed at first. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Revelation 13:1)

No, I’m not making up a wise-guy story to make a political point and abuse Scripture. I really had the dream, just as I’ve told it to you. And I don’t think I need a crystal ball to understand it, either. Neither do you. We need hardly discuss anything so obvious.

Does the current state of our country give you bad dreams?

It should.

America took another giant step into the abyss yesterday, thanks to the Supreme Court taking upon itself the authority to nullify the word of God. I’ll have a lot more to say about that in my News With Views column next week, but for the time being, there’s one facet of it that deserves immediate comment.

No sooner had the black-robed maniacs ruled against traditional marriage, than our First Voter Fraud President came out with a pledge.

He promises that he won’t force churches to perform homosexual “marriages”.

Now, he wouldn’t say that unless he thought he could force churches to do it, if he wanted to. After all, his administration is already forcing Christians to pay for other people’s abortions and contraceptives.  So maybe in a month or two, this antichrist will change his mind, and he will force churches to defile themselves with same-sex parodies of marriage.

“But that’s okay,” he will hasten to reassure us. “I sure won’t force anybody to be in a gay marriage. I definitely won’t make gay unions compulsory.”

And then he’ll break that promise, too, because that’s what an antichrist does.

Meanwhile, I have only this to ask.

How far down are you going to sink, America, before you start to come up again–if ever you come up again?

And how much abuse will you take before you won’t take any more?

After 30 years of fruitlessly campaigning to have hop-scotch made an Olympic sport, Dr. Earwig Nitwit has found another great cause to which to dedicate himself.

We caught up to the unemployed professor of Gender Studies in front of a home in his neighborhood, where he has been protesting all day long.

“These people, they leave the light on till late at night, and they have three kids!” Nitwit said. “They eat meat, and the male adult smokes. They are guilty of Crimes Against the Planet! They are fomenting Climate Change! Wahhaaagh!” At this point we had to terminate the interview because Dr. Nitwit fell down and pink foam boiled out his mouth and ears.

“The president’s speech yesterday really inspired him,” said a neighbor. “Listen, I don’t suppose you could, well, sort of take him away from here? And leave him somewhere…”

Just then the guy from the U.N. Climate Change Panel came along with a stretcher crew, and they packed Nitwit off to his new post as Gender Specialist for Climate Change. His salary will be $666,000 a year.

“What we want,” said the U.N. guy, “is a climate that never, never, never changes! That’s what we’re shooting for.”

God help us.

I can’t decide whether the actions of our government point to an incredibly clever scheme to turn America into a Third World basket-case, or whether it’s just a spasm of political vandalism by people who are simply not all there.

For instance: as  Congress prepares to subject the American people to a suicidal “immigration reform” that will flood the country with welfare cases and shatter her finances, suddenly our First Voter Fraud President, our scarcely human Secretary of State, and the rest of the zombies are all yapping about Climate Change again. You remember Climate Change used to be Global Warming until that was exposed as a fraud. Anyhow, the Robot-in-Chief and his creatures are saying the fantastic threat of Climate Change forces them to declare “a war on coal.”

It’s like these people run all around inside a great mansion, setting fires everywhere. You try to put out a fire in the living room, and they’ve started another in the lounge. You run over to the lounge, and they’ve set the kitchen on fire. And so on.

I have come to believe that our country’s leaders are actively servants of the Devil, for whom evil is good and good is evil. I don’t know how else to explain what they do.

Where can we find someone who can exorcise a whole country?

 

As reported by the UK Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ ), June 16, a couple living in the town of Sarnia, Ontario, while digging post-holes in their back yard, dug up a human skeleton.

Naturally, they called the police. The police had a look-see and decided the skeleton was that of an aboriginal woman who died some 400 years ago.

Imagine the homeowners’ horrified surprise when they were informed that they would now have to pay $5,000 to hire an archeologist to study the site. Wham! Five thousand smackers up the spout–not to mention endless paperwork, and endless wandering inside the bureaucratic labyrinth. They’re probably lucky the skeleton didn’t belong to a more recent murder victim. They will also be deprived of the use of their property until the archeologist is satisfied he’s learned everything he possibly can from the site, which could take years.

And what do we learn from this cautionary tale?

Simply that, these days, the government is your enemy, and will twist and turn any event imaginable into an excuse to take your money. They will never pass up an opportunity to harass and torment you.

So, if you’re digging your garden or putting in a swimming pool, and you should be unlucky enough to unearth a human skeleton–well, now you know what not to do.
