The Rapture: Why Not Take Care Of Your Pets?

Posted on by

From the UK Mail Online, regarding today’s “end of the world”:

  • Saturday is last day on earth, claims evangelical Christian
  • Harold Camping, 89, wrongly predicted ‘the rapture’ date once before in 1994
  • God’s chosen few ascend to heaven, sinners left behind to face earthquakes
  • Atheists hold parties to celebrate ‘inevitable embarrassment’
  • Christian author calls Camping’s prediction ‘flat-out wrong’

    • That said, however, perhaps it’s time to throw some actual concern towards this: what would happen to your pets under Mr Camping’s dire prediction? Fear not, then:
    Click here for your post-apocalypse/all-purpose pet care providers, namely: After The Rapture Pet Care!
    As one Rapturist noted:
    I agreed – it’s a real concern, and a legitimate concern. Our pets are given to us by God for us to care for. We are stewards of their lives. Should we simply forget them at the Rapture, allow them to starve or worse?
    To wit:

    This is what will happen for all pets registered with us immediately after the Rapture:

    1. Our non-Christian administrators will activate our rescue plan.
    2. Volunteers will be alerted immediately by email and telephone that they have been activated.
    3. Pets will be assigned to our Volunteer Pet Caretakers based upon location and other factors.
    4. Our administrators and Volunteer Pet Caretakers will do whatever it takes to find and rescue your pets. If your pet has a location chip, they’ll use that, or they’ll go to every location you’ve registered with us, and, if your pets are not at one of those locations, they’ll search for your cars as well as stay in contact with the local pet shelters. If they are unable to reach a Volunteer Caretaker in your area for whatever reason, our administrators will communicate with local animal organizations, like the Humane Society, to advocate for your pet’s rescue and care.
    5. Our administrators will stay in touch with our Volunteer Pet Caretakers regarding each and every pet to be sure everything is being done to rescue and care for them.

    Ease your mind as you transition freely into perpetuity, knowing your personal pet will be overseen, as least for a time, by the evildoers left behind! And isn’t that, at once, both ironic and somehow satisfying?
    Before I go, I should care to point this out, from CNN Money:

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — By now, you’ve probably heard of the religious group that’s predicting the end of the world starts this weekend.

    Harold Camping and his devoted followers claim a massive earthquake will mark the second coming of Jesus, or so-called Judgment Day on Saturday, May 21, ushering in a five month period of catastrophes before the world comes to a complete end in October.

    At the center of it all, Camping’s organization, Family Radio, is perfectly happy to take your money — and in fact, received $80 million in contributions between 2005 and 2009. Camping founded Family Radio, a nonprofit Christian radio network based in Oakland, Calif. with about 65 stations across the country, in 1958.
    I observe: isn’t that odd? How many times must we be told that when persons seem to insist it isn’t “about the money,” it’s inevitably about the money?
    I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but it’s evangelical Moonbats like Mr Camping, who take advantage of the elderly and the infirm on TV, that assist in giving Christianity a bad name.
    As in: do you possibly think that somehow our Lord has deemed Mr Camping, of all people on the planet, to be the recipient of the most important information in the history of Mankind?
    Nah. Me neither.
    See you tomorrow.

    Obama to Israel: shrink your borders to those of 1967

    Posted on by

    In re the Thursday speech of Mr Obama regarding Israel:

    Clearly, it’s the proverbial “tough love” for Israel with the exception, I proffer, that there is no love between Mr Obama and Israel. That said, where is the “tough love” for the Middle East? Acknowledgment that Israel is entirely surrounded by enemies (save the Mediterranean)? Mr Obama wants Israel to release the Golan Heights?

    Mr Obama conveniently fails to mention the rockets faithfully and consistently launched by terror elements in the Gaza Strip, the fact that fully half the “Palestinian government” consists of Hamas — an organization completely devoted to the total eradication of Israel. Hamas refuses to even acknowledge the 1948 resolution of the creation of the state of Israel.

    Obama: Borders of Israel, Palestine should be based on 1967 lines

    Published: 05.19.11, 19:56 / Israel News

    “The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states,” President Barack Obama said in his speech. “The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state,” he added. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)

    In an attempt to point out the obvious, I say: our Mr Obama cannot even manage the border of the United States to the south, with Mexico. And yet he deems it pertinent and important to re-write and manage the borders of Israel?

    Netanyahu says ‘No’ to 1967 borders

    PM expects Obama to reaffirm bush pledges, whereby settlement blocs will remain in Israel

    Responding to President Barack Obama’smajor Mideast policy speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel will not be withdrawing to the 1967 borders as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

    Bibi stand strong against Obama, Israel’s survival depends on your strength.

    We can give up on Israel.

    Or we can stand firm.

    Are You Ready For $50 Dollar FEDERALLY-MANDATED Lightbulbs?

    Posted on by


    FIFTY DOLLARS for ONE light bulb.

    No, I’m sorry, this is not a joke. And I suspect you’ve not heard of this until now. Because the DEM/MSM has been doing its best to carry the water for Obama and his Religious Leftists.

    From YahooNews:

    NEW YORK – Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January.

    Their demonstrations at the LightFair trade show in Philadelphia this week mean that brighter LED bulbs will likely go on sale next year, but after a government ban takes effect.

    The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.

    The technology in traditional “incandescent” bulbs is more than a century old. Such bulbs waste most of the electricity that feeds them, turning it into heat. The 100-watt bulb, in particular, produces so much heat that it’s used in Hasbro’s Easy-Bake Oven.

    To encourage energy efficiency, Congress passed a law in 2007 mandating that bulbs producing 100 watts worth of light meet certain efficiency goals, starting in 2012. Conventional light bulbs don’t meet those goals, so the law will prohibit making or importing them. The same rule will start apply to remaining bulbs 40 watts and above in 2014. Since January, California has already banned stores from restocking 100-watt incandescent bulbs.

    Which is why I went to Nevada recently to create my MASSIVE stock of regular light bulbs from the Reno Home Depot, which should keep me in stock, cheaply, for years. And who takes responsibility for MY electric bills?

    Why yes, that would be ME. I PAY my own electric bills.

    Screw your mercury-laden CFL bulbs, federal government.

    Not like I didn’t write about CFLs here and here and here and here.

    And screw your FIFTY-DOLLAR light bulbs. I OWN my electricity and I choose to utilize it as I wish. Because I paid for it.

    Of course, naturally, the “poor” will have THEIR light bulbs SUBSIDIZED. All they have to do is proffer one mere tear.

    YOU want to pay $50 for ONE light bulb?

    You go right ahead. Be my trembling toady guest.

    BZ

    P.S.
    And ask yourself: how many light bulbs are in your home? Perhaps you should multiply that number times $50. Plus: what about obscure, boutique bulbs? What about the bulb in your oven? Could that be a CFL and withstand the temperature? Perhaps some mercury lovingly-splashed, when broken, over your roast or your chicken or your casserole?

    Ah yes, your loving Religious Leftists at work.

    Guest Article: EPA Rules Continue To Be In Question

    Posted on by


    [A gentleman named Ryan has asked to post a guest article on my blog, regarding the EPA. I read the content and now proffer it for your perusal. -BZ]

    EPA rules continue to be in question

    GOP representatives are continuing their disapproval of recent Environmental Protection Agency regulations by evaluating the possible harm to electricity generating companies. Fred Upton, a republican from Michigan, as well as some other GOP officials have recently called into question the EPA’s effect on the power industry.

    The EPA has been under a ton of fire recently, mostly because of costly and continuing regulations. Republicans like Upton have pointed out the possible damage many of the EPA’s regulations have, such as damaged employment, raised gas prices and lower revenue. Most of the controversy has surrounded the EPA’s efforts to oversee greenhouse gas emissions.

    Essentially the EPA has begun to regulate too many things in a short period of time and GOP reps seem convinced that the environmental agency has started to overrun its power. Recent questioning involves the fact that the EPA may not have analyzed and consulted with the Council on Environmental Quality and Energy Regulatory Commission on any of their newer regulations. The only response EPA administrator Lisa Jackson had to this questioning was to say that “the rules are sensible.” Surely, the agency’s major official could respond to the actual questions or confirm that the regulations have at least been consulted with some other organizations, but unfortunately this hasn’t been the case.

    The questioning of the EPA’s recent regulations on energy would be one thing, but the agency has made some rather controversial decisions in the late months of 2010 and into 2011. The EPA seems to be losing sight of some of its own major initiatives in defending one or two regulations. Throughout the early part of 2011 they’ve continued to defend greenhouse gas emission regulations, even though they seem to have little effect on public health.

    The EPA is essentially suffering from an inability to properly delegate their resources. Many of the agency’s important regulations are being disregarded in the process of defending greenhouse gas emission regulations. Certainly there are a number of other programs that have more impact on health than greenhouse emission regulations, such as the fight on asbestos exposure or battle to cut down on water contamination.

    It remains to be seen what the remainder of 2011 will hold for the EPA. The agency simply seems to be misguided in recent months, perhaps because of a need for power, as GOP reps have suggested. Unfortunately this power hungry mindset could end up damaging the organization in the long run. Unless the agency switches up its delegation of resources, budget cuts and legislation against the EPA is likely to continue throughout the coming years.
