Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Duck Dynasty dad Phil Robertson had some of his trademark Christian wisdom at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Colorado this weekend to help enlighten people how he knows Jesus is really the son of God.
“If your calendar is dated of all the human beings who have ever walked on the Earth, and your calendar is dedicated and predicated to just one of ’em, evidently something rather large went down,” Robertson explained.
Well there you have it then.
Of course for some reason Robertson failed to mention that the Gregorian calendar was created by Christians who were sort of predisposed to believe Jesus existed, without regard to any evidence proving it one way or the other.
Robertson also fails to address the fact that if one were to use the calendar to prove the existence of a god or son of god, that it could then also be used to prove the existence of the Roman gods Saturn (Saturday) and Mars (March), and the Norse god Thor (Thursday).
By the way according to the Chinese calendar today is Yi-Wei (Sheep) (6th month), 3, 4714, or the Year of the Monkey.
I recently saw somebody respond to the challenge of how an Atheist can know there is no God.
And his response was "That's is a very good question. Why don't you explain to me the formula by which you know there is no Zeus, no Odin, no Ra, and I will use that to determine the nonexistence of the Christian God as well."
Atheists don't have the burden of proof, we just have a reasonable expectation that somebody trying to prove something extraordinary would have extraordinary evidence to support it.
After all of those rumors started to swirl about Kim Kardashian faking her pregnancy she did what would seem to be the most obvious response.
She showed a picture of the naked belly bump. Good for her, speculation will now come to a stop.
However after all of these years, Sarah Palin has not ONCE done the same. Not once.
And why not?
Simply put, there is no picture of a naked belly for her to share, because it never happened.
March 26, 2008.
The same thing goes for a birth certificate, a picture of her in the hospital right after the delivery, or of her breast feeding.
That is why there has NEVER been any doubt for most of us that she faked her pregnancy. Because, and trust me on this, if Sarah Palin could make us all look like fools, she would have done so many times over by now.
Update: For those who have been interested in Palin's speech at the Schiavo fundraiser, that video can be found here.
In a newly released book by Joe McGinniss the former Governor of Alaska is accused of cheating on her husband Todd Palin, with his ex-business partner, a charge which she vehemently denies, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the adult website AshleyMadison.com has offered the Palins $1 million to prove their innocence.
"His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo and smears," Todd Palin said of the book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.
The website has offered Sarah and Todd Palin a "unique platform to prove that these allegations are not true," according to a letter exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.
"We will hire a certified polygraph examiner to administer a lie detector test to both yourself and Todd. He will be restricted to asking you questions solely related to the allegations," the letter states.
"If both of you complete and pass the polygraph test, Ashleymadison.com will issue you a check in The amount of $1,000,000."
Anybody want to bet on how long it takes the Palins to take AshleyMadison.com on their offer?
If you said, "Not in this lifetime," you are our lucky winner!
The Palins well know that EVERYBODY who knows them knows they have a fake marriage, and you literally cannot throw a rock in Wasilla without hitting somebody who knows about at least one of their affairs.
So now we have a one million dollar offer for proof of no infidelity, and an offer of over $20,0000 for proof that Trig is really Sarah's biological son. Hell if Rick Perry ever touched Todd's penis Sarah Palin might NEVER have to give a speech, fake writing a book, or pretend to be interested in launching a presidential campaign again.
Let's face it, we all know that the Palins love to get paid for doing the least amount of work possible. So the ONLY reason they would not jump at this opportunity is because they know they simply CANNOT pass the test.
Which in my opinion proves that Joe, Levi, Mercede, and I were right all along, and that Chuck Heath Jr. is simply lying to save his family's name.
My good friend Audrey once referred to this picture as "The Nail in the Coffin." Because in her mind and the mind of many others, it proved without a doubt that Palin could simply NOT have been 32 weeks pregnant when the photo was taken.
But for some reason it never quite proved enough for some people.
Perhaps these pictures taken on the very same day, as Palin was leaving the museum, will finally convert the unbelievers.
(Click the thumbnails to see the high resolution images.)
This was written as a description below the photographs:
March 26, 2008, Juneau, Alaska, USA: In April 2011, Professor Bradford Scharlott at Northern Kentucky University wrote an academic paper stating that the "conspiracy theory" suggesting Palin is not Trig's mother is likely true and the American media is pathetic for not pursuing the story more aggressively. Scharlott walks through all of the evidence supporting the theory in the article, suggesting Trig is actually Palin's grandson. The article discusses photos of Palin in what is said to have been a late-stage pregnancy, the leisurely 20-hour trip home that Palin took after she supposedly went into labor in Texas, the refusal of the hospital where Trig was supposedly born to even confirm that he was born there (let alone who was the mother), strange statements from Palin's doctor and the McCain campaign, and so on. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin exits the Alaska State Museum with her husband Todd after a bill signing ceremony. Palin announced 3-weeks prior that she was 7-months pregnant with her fifth child.
And the photos were further authenticated during a discussion with the AP photographer Brian Wallace on July 31, 2011.
Here is a close up of Palin's supposedly seven month pregnant belly.
And as if that were not enough, let us not forget that only a little over two weeks later that THIS is what Sarah Palin managed to look like on a KTUU broadcast on April 13, 2008.
Here is the video of the interview to allow further scrutiny.
(I need to give a HUGE hat tip to Laura Novak who made the initial call to Polaris images and got the information that we needed to purchase these images. Thank you Laura.)
Update: There are apparently a couple of visitors who are being purposefully obtuse and asking how these pictures prove anything, as if they were the sum total of the evidence available to prove that Sarah Palin did not give birth. Of course they could not be more incorrect.
Let me provide just a few examples and the rest you can find using a tool I like to call "Google."
Shailey was kind enough to give me this first interview after she walked away from her deal with the National Enquirer, and I am very grateful. However do not think that this is the last you will hear from Shailey. In fact, now that the Enquirer's gag order has been lifted, she is free to tell her story to as many media outlets as she sees fit. (And those media outlets can contact Shailey directly by visiting her new blog.)
And oh, what a story it is.
I admit that I was a little skeptical at first and asked for some evidence to confirm her relationship with Todd and to help provide a timeline for the events that she has laid out. That evidence was provided, and there is very little doubt that Shailey can back up everything that she has said here, and will soon say in future interviews.
There is clearly a lot of amazing information contained in this interview. Not the least of which is that Todd Palin was having a sexual relationship with this young woman, as previously reported by the National Enquirer. However I have decided to focus on a particular part of the interview, Sarah Palin's massage.
The reason that I chose to focus on this massage of Sarah Palin, while she was at least six or seven months pregnant, is because I felt that other media outlets would be hesitant to report on the babygate story. And also because much of the other information has to be handled a little more delicately and with lawyers going over all of it before it gets posted. (I just hate to wait for lawyers.)
But just take a moment to absorb what Shailey has just shared with all of us:
According to Shailey, Sarah Palin NEVER once told any of the people at All About You Spa that she was pregnant, even though she remained a client almost up to the moment that she "gave birth."
Sarah did not confess to Shailey that she was "with child." even though she was asked specifically. (Nor did she tell ANY of the people who gave her a massage since NOT ONE of them knew until after her announcement.)
Sarah did not appear pregnant by looking at her in an unclothed state.
Even though she was given a thorough massage by an experienced, and licensed, masseuse (Who also had substantial experience with prenatal massage) nothing about Sarah's body gave any indication that she was pregnant. (And don't forget, she would have been between SIX TO SEVEN MONTHS PREGNANT at this time. )
Sarah had procedures during her "pregnancy" that could have been harmful to a fetus and did not once say anything to alert the employees to that possibility.
So at this point I have to ask, even if you are not a conspiracy theorist, or a person who has always believed that Sarah Palin faked her last pregnancy, doesn't this information force you to reexamine her version of events?
Now at this point you may ask the obvious question, "Why did the Governor allow somebody to see her in an unclothed state when she was about to fake a pregnancy?"
Good question, and not one that we can answer with any confidence, though as we have seen these last two and half years Sarah Palin does a LOT of things that seem poorly thought out or even completely hare-brained.
However many of us who have followed this twisted tale since the beginning have long believed that Sarah concocted this whole pregnancy thing at the very last minute (Don't forget she announced her pregnancy the day AFTER John McCain was chosen as the Republican candidate.). Which helps to explain why she did not have padding in place in the beginning, why she looks like she was wearing a sofa cushion at one time, and why she carelessly padded herself up to twice her size in two weeks time.
I will definitely have more interviews with Shailey in the future, but I may have to wait in line for those as I do believe that there will be a mad rush of media interested in hearing her story.
Which, in my opinion, is a good thing.
Update: Here is a link to the YouTube video for those who cannot get it to play. And here are the procedures that I listed in an earlier post of the other services offered by All About You Spa: All About You offers a number of services, such as Botox injections, Sclerotherapy for varicose veins, Pulsed Light Therapy for acne and spider veins, Skin Regeneration, and Anti-Cellulite Treatment, to name but a few.
As you can see, many of these would be problematic if a woman were with child when she received them. I don't believe that Shailey is allowed to talk about exactly which ones Sarah Palin had done however.
Update 2: Yes a transcript is being written. I hope to put it up in a separate post later on today.
Update 3: For those asking about HIPAA. Shailey was working on a contract basis and was NOT an on site employee of All About You Spa. She was also providing a non-medical service, therefore it was not covered by the non-disclosure guidelines outlined in HIPAA.
However any medical procedure that Sarah received from the Nurse Practitioner are covered by those guidelines which is why Shailey is not willing to discuss them at this time.
I also doubt very seriously that Todd's sexual encounters with Shailey, which also took place in one of the rooms at AAYS, are covered by HIPAA either. Which means she is more than free to discuss those as well.
