What a Ham

As I mentioned some weeks ago in church you really can’t trust our nation’s media to fairly and accurately report the news events as they happen. This is evidentially especially true if those events happen to be Christian in nature. On January 22 over 200,000 Christians assembled at the nation’s capitol—representing millions more who could not attend. We assembled there as we have every year since the deplorable Supreme Court decision called Roe V. Wade that legalized the holocaust of abortion in this country.

Over two hundred thousand of us marched that day to stand for the sanctity of human life. The next day USA Today posted a front page color photo of the three or four pro-abortionists who were present that day. I was there, I saw them. As we prayed the Litany of the Pre-born in front of the Supreme Court, committing the souls of those children slated for death that day to the Lord, this small group of pro-abortionists stood off to our left with three or four blue signs that read “Keep Abortion Legal”.
Three people on the front page verses two hundred thousand people listed as “abortion foes” on page 3 in black and white and cropped to show more police that marchers—I guess some would call that fair and accurate reporting. Still that’s better than many of the news outlets that didn’t even mention the annual march leaving their readers and viewers in the dark.

Well, never mind. Someone else is doing the media’s job for them. A new feature is coming out called “Thine Eyes” which will cover the event that the news media tried so blatantly to ignore or minimize. Currently this group has posted a brief trailer on You Tube. It is linked below. I encourage everyone to click this link into You Tube and watch “Thine Eyes.”

Oh, so why did I call this post “What A Ham”? Well, you’ll just have to watch the video to the end to find out. But I’ll give you a hint; out of over two hundred thousand people—who do you think is center stage in the end shot? If any of you visiting this blog don’t know my son, Ian, that’s him holding the sign at the end of the video.

Blessings,
