Every so often, a political story bursts through the grime and gridlock that is Washington DC and touches people all across this great nation, a story of hope over hypocrisy and the possibility of a storm of change blowing the serried ranks of Old White Lawyer Guys in the halls of power.
No. It's not Obama. That Change is not The Change We Were Really Looking For.
I'm talking REAL CHANGE, something stirring in the the political nether regions.....
I'm talking about Stormy Daniels running in 2010 for the the Senate Seat in Louisiana currently occupied by David Vitter, a client of the DC Madam.

Purity? Balls!
So I keep listening to the Focus of The Family broadcast about "Purity Balls" with Randy and Lisa Wilson. It gets creepier every time I listen, but as with everything from FoF it is well worth a second and third go around to pick up some more blatant mistruths.
I have already pointed out in a previous blog entry that Mr Wilson is a serious Bible mis-quoter, but on further review I now see that so is Mrs Wilson.
During the course of the program Mrs Wilson describes an oaken chest that her husband makes for each daughter - she calls it a "hope chest", but in reality it's just a 21st century Chastity Belt Substitute.
Because on a girl's wedding day she gives a covenant she wrote to her husband when she was THIRTEEN that she keeps in the damnable chest. Stuff he daddy had her write about remaining "pure" for that one special and godly man who gets to deflower her..Eeew! Just think of what is going through Randy Wilson's mind when he's making these chests. Eeew! It doesn't bear thinking about. News just in Randy - your daugther's sexuality is not yours to bestow or lock away.
Any ways to get back to the mendacious Mrs Wilson...
She says that the chests are make of oak because her daughters are "oaks of righteousness from Isaiah".
Except of course the term "oaks of righteousness" ISN'T IN ISAIAH.
Everything the woman says ( just like he husband ) sounds Biblical, BUT IT JUST ISN'T.
Here are the verses that mention oak.
Isaiah 6 11-13
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
and the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
So no "daughters" there.
How about Isaiah 44-14 - a section on "The Folly of Idolatry"...
He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
Nope. No "daughters" again.
How about Isaiah 1 27-31 : "The Judgment and Redemption of Zion", not too daughterly I'm guessing.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Well, where's the daughters? I see you do get a "righteousness" in there.
AND THAT IS ALL THE OAK IN ISAIAH.
"Well what about righteousness?" I hear you ask.
Perhaps what Mrs Wilson was grasping for and spectacularly misunderstanding was Isaiah 61 1-6 : Good Tidings of Salvation to Zion
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called Trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
But ye shall be named The priests of the LORD: men shall call you The ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
But alas no cigar. Clearly the "Trees of righteousness" are priests in Zion. That means they HAVE TO BE men.
So Lisa, you lose. No woman can be a "tree of righteousness" let alone an "oak of righteousness".
You did sound convincing to the gullible though.

Latest Focus On The Family Whopper
On the Family News in Focus broadcast of Tuesday February 10th 2009, a woman named Joann Condie who was simply identified as a "Christian Counsellor" uttered a statement of such shattering mendacity that I had to look up the harpie on the Google.....
And guess what? Yep, she works at Focus on the Family. She's nothing but a Dobsonian stooge.
Family News in Focus is James Dobson's daily dose of "redefining Truth one Lie at a time". But I can't for the life of me think why they chose not to identify Ms Condie as a Focus staffer - they usually do say "Here's Joe Schmoe of Focus On The Family Action". Why hide this woman's affliation?
But what did Ms Condie ACTUALLY say?
Well, the piece was about availabilty of pornography in the US and its disemination to people who are "shocked" by it - like some who were recipents of the Comcast Superbowl incident.
They also said some 10 year old kid in Florida ( not identified ) was damaged FOR LIFE because the first message he got on his new phone was pornographic. Really? FOR LIFE? Heck what would even constitute pornographic SMS message? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Focus people of course, gave no details.
And then after talking about this poor "traumatized" kid ( FOR LIFE don't forget ), Ms Condie made the following statement :-
"There are many who, in fact, one image, one time, can be, ah, engraved in their brain that years later they can have an advanced sexual addiction - never having to go online, never having to purchase DVDs or anything else".
That is a word of word quote - Ms Condie is not the most articulate 'counsellor" out there.
But what she clearly is a BIG FAT SCAREMONGERING LIAR.
