Bombing Mosques and Executing Hospital Patients
On the way into work today I heard a radio report about Qaddafi’s air-force making bombing runs on civilians. One attack was on a mosque full of protesters. Yes, Qaddafi blew up a mosque. Arabs have the grandest time killing Arabs, a stat that our forces in freeing Muslims from tyrants will never reach. Here is Debka on the matter:
Civil War in Libya: Jets bomb civilians. Pilots, high officials flee
Qaddafi’s 42-year rule of Libya appeared to have begun disintegrating Monday, Feb. 21, as civil war swept the country with no signs of him quitting. Instead, he ordered the army to redouble its brutal assaults on the opposition. The Air Force began bombing crowds at random while army tanks and armored vehicles blasted them with live ammunition – not just in the insurgent eastern provinces of Cyrenaica, but the capital of Tripoli and its environs too. There, helicopter gunships aimed heavy machine fire into the main market, the Souk al Jumma, while the first tribal militias loyal to Qaddafi to arrive in the capital from the Sahara fought alongside the army. Casualties soared to an estimated 600, with 250 in Tripoli alone as Qaddafi rallied for a bloody civil war that could linger for years.
This one took me by surprise:
Gaddafi forces execute hospital patients, bomb mosque
Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi stormed hospitals in Tripoli and summarily executed injured anti-regime protestors who were being treated, a report said Thursday.
Members of the Libyan Revolutionary Committee, the backbone of Gaddafi’s regime, “burst in hospitals and killed wounded people who had protested against the regime,” said Slimane Bouchuiguir, who leads the Libyan branch of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), cited by Italian news agency MISNA.

What Democrats Know Best-Violence [and stupidity!]
Violence in the womb, violence when leftist philosophy comes to power, and violence in unions. This was brought to my attention via Life & Times, and come from the Hill:
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers’ rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
“I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going,” Capuano said, according to the Statehouse News. “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”
Political observers have been the lookout for potentially incendiary rhetoric in the wake of January’s shooting in Tucson, Ariz., where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) survived an assassination attempt, six were killed, and 12 others were injured.
This comedy (sad as well) comes from GatewayPundit:
You’ve gotta love it.
The fools on the left were out mocking “Faux News” and Glenn Beck in Madison yesterday for pointing out socialists at the Madison rally just as a group of socialists were marching by them.

Metaphysical Naturalism as Science
If science really is permanently committed to methodological naturalism – the philosophical position that restricts all explanations in science to naturalistic explanations – it follows that the aim of science is not generating true theories. Instead, the aim of science would be something like: generating the best theories that can be formulated subject to the restriction that the theories are naturalistic. More and more evidence could come in suggesting that a supernatural being exists, but scientific theories wouldn’t be allowed to acknowledge that possibility.
(Bradley Monton, author of Seeking God in Science: An Atheist Defends Intelligent Design ~ Apologetics315 h/t)
“Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic”

Conversation from Starbucks
A quick post from my time at Starbucks this morning. A fine gentlemen made mention that Jesus wasn’t written of outside the Gospels. Here is a short post from a previous post from my old blog, take note that many of these issues are dealt with as well in my chapter from my book entitled Gnostic Feminism: Empowered to Fail. Enjoy:
