Prayer Sucks? What About that "Miracle" on the Hudson River?

By John W. Lillpop

Atheists, wanna be atheists, and other liberal heathen can always be counted on to scowl at the mere mention of the "Power of Prayer" or other religious beliefs based on faith in the supernatural.

Atheism is a growing menace in America, especially among uneducated twits who believe that being anti-God is a sure mark of intellectualism, when in fact the exact opposite is true.

Another obvious truth: The number of non-believers surely took a big hit as a result of impromptu conversions that took place in the freezing waters of the Hudson River this afternoon.

The drama began minutes after US Airways Flight 1549 suffered a "double bird strike" during take off, which choked off both of the airliner's engines and left the Airbus A320 suspended in mid-air above the great metropolis area of New York City.

As reported, in part, by WCBSCTV, reference (1):

"The pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 was being lauded as a hero Thursday night after he somehow managed to land a plane with two blown engines safely in the middle of the Hudson River. All 155 passengers and crew have been accounted for, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

"There appear to be only minor injuries at this point, in addition to fears of hypothermia. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said passengers were taken to Manhattan and New Jersey on various ferries. He said there was believed to be no significant injuries. The city is trying to contact everyone who was on that plane.

"CBS 2 HD has learned the crippled plane missed the George Washington Bridge by just 900 feet.

"The veteran pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, guided the Airbus 320 into the Hudson near 48th Street after it lost two engines shortly after its 3:26 p.m. takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. Early reports said the plane hit a flock of birds.

"We have a heroic pilot who saved himself and 154 other passengers. We've had a Miracle on 34th Street and now I believe we've had a miracle on the Hudson," Gov. David Paterson said at a joint press conference with Bloomberg on Thursday evening.

"Passenger Jeff Kolodjay of Norwalk, Conn., said he heard an explosion two or three minutes into the flight, looked out the left side of the Airbus 320 and saw one of the engines on fire.

"The captain said, `Brace for impact because we're going down,"' Kolodjay said. He said passengers put their heads in their laps and started saying prayers. He said the plane hit the water pretty hard, but he was fine."

Did those prayers save the 155 people aboard Flight 1549? Atheists will point out that a loving God would not have allowed those birds to blow the jet engines of the Airbus 320 to begin with.

To which the obvious rejoinder is, "How the hell do YOU know what a loving God would do? You insist there is no such entity, so your opinion is worthless!"

Praise be to God, brother!

Obama Bails Out Osama!

Satire By John W. Lillpop

Upon moving into the White House in 1961, John F. Kennedy, America's First Camelot president, was famously quoted as saying: "The thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were. "

JFK was, of course, referring to his predecessor, a two-term Republican from Texas, Dwight David Eisenhower.

Forty eight years later, America's second Camelot, also successor to a two-term Republican from Texas, is pinching JFK's idea, if not exact words.

It will be remembered that candidate Obama, and Democrats in general, ruthlessly lashed out at the Bush Administration for wasting American lives and treasury in Iraq while failing to capture OBL, CEO of global Islamofascism.

How difficult can it be, they ridiculed, to find a 7-foot, bearded Jihadist with a dialysis machine permanently affixed to his terrorist frame?

Candidate Obama even intimated that as president he might order an invasion into Pakistan, an American ally in the war on terror, to smoke out the elusive OBL.

However, with his presidential aspirations just days away from fruition, President-elect Obama has apparently discovered that things are as bad as he has been saying.

Which may help to explain Barack Hussein Obama's apparent "bail out" of Osama bin Laden, as reported in the Morningstar, in part: (Reference 1)


"I think that we have to so weaken his infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function," Obama said.

"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives, then we will meet our goal of protecting America."

Thank you Mr. President-elect.

George W. Bush could not have said it better, although Lord knows he tried!

San Francisco's "Proud Tradition"

By John W. Lillpop

San Francisco is a city governed by arrogant and foolish "progressives" who delight in pursuing policies that defy common sense while trashing the best interests of citizen taxpayers.

Adding insult to injury, city leaders brazenly refer to such policies in glowing terms like "Proud tradition."

That is the term used to describe San Francisco's deliberate violation of federal law when to comes to shielding illegal aliens, especially juveniles convicted of serious felonies.

Under five months ago, San Francisco law enforcement refused to cooperate with the federal government by turning illegal aliens over to the care of Uncle Sam. Instead, San Francisco taxpayers paid $2.3 million dollars (since 2005) to house criminals who actually belonged in federal retention centers.

Adding stupidity to arrogance, city bosses spend another $40,000 to fly illegal alien felons home when the thugs should have been removed from polite society by placing a free call to federal authorities.

San Francisco's "Proud Tradition" backfired last June as described in the following report from Spero News***:

"It was a Sunday afternoon last June and Anthony Bologna and his sons Michael and Matthew were almost home from their family picnic. Anthony, driving the family car, briefly blocked another car from completing a left turn down a narrow San Francisco street. Angered by this momentary delay in his trip, according to police reports, Edwin Ramos got out of the car and opened fire on the Bologna’s car with an AK-47, shooting all three men. Tony Bologna, 48, and his son Michael, 20, died at the scene, and Matthew, 16, died a few days later in the hospital.


"Now charged with three murders, the 21 year-old Ramos was previously found guilty of two felonies as a juvenile: attempting to rob a pregnant woman, and as part of a gang-related assault on a city bus passenger. By all accounts, Ramos is a vicious animal who has no business being in the United States, and no business being in San Francisco."

Just how much "Pride" can one take in a policy that shields a convicted felon from justice so that he can murder three innocent citizens in cold blood?

There are other victims of this town's goofy politics.

Although not nearly as serious as the Edwin Ramos murder spree, 400 city employees are about to lose their jobs just in time for Christmas. The firings are the result of a huge budget deficit.

It would be illogical and incorrect to blame the deficit entirely on the manner by which illegal aliens have been mishandled by Mayor Gavin Newsom and his misguided associates.

Nonetheless, city workers forced to join the ranks of the unemployed during the most severe economic downturn in 80 years are completely justified in asking the following question:

How many American citizens are being dumped on the streets of San Francisco just before Christmas because "progressive" politicians foolishly chose to pamper illegal alien felons at
taxpayer expense?

Is W. Ever Going to Govern like a Conservative?

By John W. Lillpop


With only about five weeks remaining in his presidency, George W. Bush is not going to change his legacy as the most liberal "conservative" president in history.

He does, however, have a couple of opportunities in which to leave office in a blaze of, if not glory, at least somewhat muted mutiny.

To begin with, the president can refuse to continue playing the game of Monopoly with taxpayer funds as Democrats are want to do when it comes to the auto manufacturing industry.

Spending any amount of taxpayer money to buy an interest in the Big Three is a fool's mission. Until Detroit sheds it's outrageous cost of labor commitments and makes products that are truly competitive, money sent there is nothing except "good money chasing bad."

This president must make it clear that American taxpayer money should not be used to bail out Detroit; he should enforce that position with a veto if need be.

One of the major disappointments of the W. presidency has been his refusal to secure our borders and support the brave men and women who serve America in the Border Patrol.

W.'s shameful performance in the overall area of immigration is particularly wretched when it comes to his refusal, so far, to pardon border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean who have been prosecuted and persecuted for defending America from invading criminals from Mexico.

It will be remembered that Ramos and Compean chased illegal alien Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila back across the Mexican border, thereby preventing the thug from smuggling drugs into America.

Davila left American soil sans a few grams of brown buttocks blasted off his criminal being by a single shot from Ramos or Compean.

However, Davila was not injured too gravely, as he attempted to smuggle a “second load” of drugs into the U.S., an indiscretion for which he was arrested.

Unfortunately, the Bush administration was able to convict Ramos and Compean based on testimony provided by the drug smuggling illegal alien himself, the insufferable Davila.

That conviction led to sentences which cheated Ramos and Compean out of twelve and eleven years of life, respectively.

President George W. Bush must not leave the White House without having executed a full and unconditional pardon for Messrs. Ramos and Compean.

In order to show even a modest respect for conservative values, W. must veto any additional bailout bills and pardon Ramos and Compean before leaving office on January 20.
