I’ve always loved VJ. Here’s a sample of what she was doing before SNL.

Victoria is better at Christian apologetics and Bible exposition than Rick Warren is, that’s for sure. Rick needs to figure out, as Victoria seems to have done, that the ultimate judge and rewarder of the faithful isn’t going to be the globaloney and celeb crowd.
If I had an account on that website, I could edit the page. The information is contributed simlarly to Wikipedia.
Never criticize the cover of a book when the message inside is so important.
And, then again, some us do use our own names.... 8<)
"If I were married to her, I'd never leave the house."
Wow! I always loved Victoria Jackson, and now I love her even more.
I find that many Christians are almost shocked when I tell them the plain truth that socialism is based on three sins. Economist F. A. Hayek, in the Road to Serfdom predicted it also quickly leads to the use of the State to coerce people by the threat of deadly force, and as sure as the sun rises some citizens will get so upset that they will die during attempts by the police to arrest them for breaking a law that allows the State to seize their property.
In my book, it is just as much the spirit of murder to evoke the State police power to effect theft as it is if the “social activist” just seized the property in person. Why the spirit of murder? Because there is a predictable chain of escalation should the target of the law refuse to comply, a chain that leads to government use of deadly force, a chain **that would not be evoked** had the law not been in effect.
To propose that some social issue should be addressed by putting it within government power is to accept the possible consequences. Under totally different circumstances, we don't hesitate to hold gun owners responsible if a child were to find a firearm in a home that is not securely stored. We can easily see the chain of events. Had the gun owner taken “due care” in storage, the accident would have never happened.
Yet, we are so conflicted about how we use government power. We don't hesitate to assign some task to government, and we don't even give it a second thought that someone might refuse to comply, and we certainly don't want to consider what hell we will certainly put someone through when they steadfastly disagree with our good intentions.
It is one thing to define essential core functions of government, like say running the courts. What a monster we have today in comparison, and every single regulation we have allowed this monster to pass, we allow it to enforce by the threat of deadly force. No matter how trivial an item, we have said this item is so important that we are even willing to shoot our own mother rather than to allow her to not comply with the rule.
Like it or not, we would rather see our own grandmother dead than to allow her to sell a toilet that used too much water when it was flushed.
And socialists only want to feed the monster so it can grow even larger! And they only expect that this monster will bring about good things for everyone.
Just finishing up Road to Serfdom.
I know that inherently, socialism IS a lie, just saying that it can work is a lie. But, specifically, what is your direct assignment of “lies” to socialism? The other two broken commandments are obvious. So obvious that when explaining socialism (dhimmirat style) to my three year old, she asked “why doesn’t someone tell Obama about the 10 Commandments?” I’m so Proud... ooops, there’s another sin.
I’ve talked to many a lefty that REFUSES to get the concept of what you call “the spirit of murder” behind all laws. They don’t get that they are authorizing the government to kill me if I don’t comply with some pet policy of theirs.
“It doesn’t have to come to that!” - yeah, if I give in and comply to your will it doesn’t, but if I don’t, it does.
Here's a song she does that I've seen on TBN from time to time The Atheist
“And, Obama, when you say things like, “Sin is...being out of alignment with my values.” That is a blaring siren of Biblical ignorance. The Bible says, “Sin is being out of alignment with God’s values.”
In O’s mind there is no contradiction. O considers himself to the ONE.
