The Loaves and the Fishes
I know a lot of you don’t read Ann Barnhardt because she comes across as shrill. A lot of you may not know anything about her at all. But she’s dead on where it comes to Church doctrine and dogma. That pisses people off the most because it means their firmly held convictions are wrong. (oh, how the protestants must hate her).
Anyway, she has a column up today about the loaves and the fishes, and it’s an amazing read. And she is smack dab on top of the truth, like it or not.
Since you can’t permalink to anything she has out there it’s the column dated Nov. 19. The substance of the column is that the FedGov is trying to take the place of God, by promising free shit for everyone.
Jesus fed the multitudes, and a few people have annoyed Ann about “Why is that any different?”
Well, duh. because Jesus actualy WAS the Messiah, and wingnut head is the opposite.
Money quote:
God always performs the miracle first, then invites us to worship Him, and delivers heaven.
Satan, through the State, demands the worship first, promising miracles as a reward for the worship, and then delivers nothing but hell.
Ann (I suspect) fully expects to be in prison very soon, and I wish I could say I disagree with her reason or her tactics; she is doing what she can to starve the beast, and frankly, if there were enough people with her testicles, we could do so. Lord knows I don’t have balls that big.
G-d provides. Let me make that very clear. When my daughter decided she wanted to go to a specific high school, whose tuition is on a par with my house payment, the money showed up. This is the argument the malthusians hate, because the existence of a God who provides for his creation is a great big hole in their logic (such as it is).
Ann may piss you off but you should be reading anyway. Especially her 8 part plan. As she points out, she is talking to the remnant. Be the remnant; or get left behind.

Speaking as a Protestant myself, I can say that I don’t hate her–because one of the tenets of Protestantism is that the Catholic church doesn’t have a monopsony on Truth.
I’m not saying she’s wrong; I’m merely saying she’s not entirely correct.
…but yes, her latest post about the loaves and the fishes is dead on no matter which sect of Christianity you’re in.
Lol.
…to which part?
My wife thinks I will be “left behind”. She says it is part of God’s plan to leave a few people behind just to hurt a whole lot of people on the other side. We don’t want them to enjoy it too much.
I have admired Ann’s spunk since she marked the pages in the Q-book with bacon, then tore it apart page by page and burned it in a video. But the thing that really sold me was her telling the moose limbs who tried to threaten her to “come on,” and gave them specific directions to her house, saying she was anxious to try out her new pink “Hello Kitty” AR. If I had balls the size of Ann’s, I’d be 25 feet tall. Sic ’em, Ann!!
I can’t decide if she’s Joan of Arc or completely insane. And the only reason I think she might be insane is because I don’t have the stones to go to jail for what I think is right. Lots of good reasons for it, but there it is… turns out kids are hostages not only to fortune.
So who’s the insane one?
She cannot be a Joan of Arc. She has led no battalions who defeated the enemy so badly they had to scheme to get to her. In this instance they already have the scheme set up and she has voluntarily walked into it. Time will tell what ensues after that. Pray for her success.
@Ed Hering: Lol at this:
“dead on no matter which sect of Christianity you’re in”
A lot of fundies would argue that, just because she is a Catholic. As to the rest, that’s a discussion you really don’t want to have with me; I know where the bodies are buried. The shovel is still in the truck.
I am not catholic and I would carry her water any day she asked.
I admire what she says and what she does.
She has had death threats from time to time and she usually responds with come on down.
Quite a woman. I would like her with me fighting indians anytime.
Walking into it like a moron, but here goes.
I don’t hate her because A: I don’t know her, so I don’t have the opportunity and B: I’m to love everyone (even BHO, I’m working on it)
But I fellowship with Catholics all the time, did so this Sunday.
I’m not fighting the Reformation.
But what you quoted makes me want to read more.
A lot of people, sainted and secular, who occupy our culture’s “pantheon” of great men and women, in their time were considered batshit crazy. “Defend Fort Sumter? Heck, Lincoln, let the hillbillies secede.” It takes the crazies to mess up the world, and the crazies to make it right again.
The crazy idiot who stood up to the tank in Tienanmen Square in 1989 inspired the world. The crazy idiot who turned his union’s shipyard strike into a fight for democracy in the Warsaw Pact eventually became the president of Poland.
My only regret is how Barnhardt’s goal line stand is being done in near anonymity, and will accomplish as much as celebrity Wesley Snipes’ tax strike did: nothing. It will change no hearts and minds, it won’t hurt her opponents one iota. I think her spirit, her intelligence, and her soul are worth a whole lot more than anonymous futility. I wish she did, too.
It reminds me of Cool Hand Luke. Give him a war in which to fight, and he accomplishes a lot and sails up in the ranks. Take him off the battlefield, and he goes to jail for cutting the heads off of parking meters, of all things. Instead of raising hell in the Colorado statehouse as a rep (Palin cleaned up her state and fought the oil interests by becoming governor from a small town mayoral seat), or fronting a PAC, she’s on a tax strike.
@mts1;
We-hell, you know. We’re all doing what we can.

I don’t believe the lady is deranged or even remotely out of order in her beliefs and presentations. She does most certainly have courage and spunk; I like her comments but do sometimes find her abrasive. Still I do want her to continue to express her beliefs and concerns so that other’s hear them and understand why we have freedom of speech and how aptly she is exercising her right’s.
Ann is a fanatic….with the capital F. Just as Osama was and many muslims are. She would gladly bring
back the Inquisition in all it’s brutal glory….if those being subjected to it belonged to her personal set of “persona’s non grata”. She probably has a borderline personality disorder….
and one more thing. She’s dishonest. She was smacked and smacked hard in arbitration for gross misuse of client funds when she was in the market.
I don’t know about dishonest,I never saw any evidence of that. And Joan of Arc was also a fanatic. As was Luther and many others. being a fanatic does not make you wrong, anymore than it makes you right. Bringing back the inquisition? Really? That’s a stiff charge to make. What are you hiding that makes you fear her so?
I don’t fear Ann….but having conversed one on one I find her to
be no different than the fanatics like Bill Ayers who has stated that killing up to 10% of americans who are not amenable to “reeducation” is acceptable. Fanatacism….no matter what the subject matter is….is dangerous. Because fanatical humans invariably grant themselves carte blanche to act based on that fanatacism.
Nobody grants themselves anything. Others grant them that.
You are correct…..in the proper world a person cannot “grant” themselves anything. However in
the real world pathologic personalities “grant” themselves
all sorts of things.
Well, they’d like to try. I’d like to “Grant” myself invisibility and a 28″ dick but it don’t work like that.
Fanatic or not… she got that spot on!
