One more thing



And one more thing:

Quisquis huc accedes
Quod tibi horrendum videtur
Mihi amoenum est
Si dilectat maneas
Si taedat abeas
Utrumque gratum


You who come here
Whoever you are
What may seem horrible to you
Is fine for me
If you like it stay
If it bores you go
I couldn’t care less.

Uganda paper on Limbaugh's view of Kony



(From today’s Uganda newspaper NewVision)

Limbaugh ignorant about Kony’s LRA


By Wanyama Wangah
     The Bible says: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven
(Matt 7:21)
     That is a quote that Rush Limbaugh should know because he is America’s number
one radio talk-show host and a religious conservative.
But Limbaugh thinks Joseph Kony is a good Christian, because his organization has
got the name ‘Lord’ in its title!
     When the American President sent troops to help track down the Lord’s Resistance
Army rebel leaders [last October], Limbaugh lurched onto it, saying Barrack Obama was fighting Christians!
     Just a quote from Mr Limbaugh: “’Lord’” referred to in their name is not someone
named Lord, but God. Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the
combat Lord’s Resistance Army. And here we are at war with them. Have you ever
heard of Lord’s Resistance Army, Dawn? How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you?
You never heard of Lord’s Resistance Army? Well, proves my contention, most
Americans have never heard of it, and here we are at war with them. Lord’s
Resistance Army are Christians. It means God.
     So just how is it that America’s top radio talk show host does not know about the
atrocities committed by the LRA?
     Limbaugh hates Obama, but to hate him so much that he would criticize him for sending troops to help track down Kony is mindboggling.
     Limbaugh states that Obama is sending troops to fight Kony because he (Kony) is fighting against Muslim terrorists. If only he knew that is Kony who has indeed received backing form the Islamic regime in Sudan.
     That is America for you.
