Pimp Wide and Free

Looking over girl of the year Ashley Alexandra Dupré’s mySpace page and hearing her song one can hear she has talent, among other talents, and it occurs to me that this a perfect way to jumpstart a music career. Being a sex symbol is a prerequisite for being a hip hop artist anyway. Sex in fact is the only requirement for listening to hip hop.

Sex, sex, sex. Liberals are addicted to sex, sex and more sex. Movies, music, the pimp life, you name it it’s some form of promoting sex. That thumpin’ loud stereo that passes by your home every hour? It’s a warcry declaring that they intend to pimp your wife and family and/or shoot you dead in the street.

Again let me reference A Crime so Monstrous:
"Haitians take great pride in their appearance, but as more than three quarters live on less than two dollars per day, they don't have many pieces in their wardrobe. Some beg, like the thirtysomething woman sitting in the middle of Delmas, one horribly infected breast, glistening with pus, hanging out of her shirt.

Some hustle. There are more than 10,000 street kids, mostly boys as young as six, some selling unprotected sex for $1.75. Haiti has the highest prevalence of HIV infection outside of sub-Saharan Africa, and Haitians who believe sex with virgins protects against, or even cures, AIDS have driven up the price of such intercourse to $5.00. Haiti has also become a magnet for sex tourists and pedophiles. One left a review of the children in an online chatroom: "The younger ones are even more kinker [sic] than the older women....Park on the street and tell them to go at it!!!!!!!!! If anyone sees you they just ignore you. No police but the multi-national military force is still here." Locals say that the main contribution of the peacekeepers to Haiti's economy comes via the brothels. Opposite a UN camp on an otherwise desolate road outside of Port-au-Prince, Le Perfection nightclub does booming business. "

In the book of Acts, God gave us a sobering example of how He views dishonesty (4:32–5:11). Some believers had sold their land and shared all the proceeds with the church. Ananias and Sapphira decided to do likewise. But the couple kept some money back despite declaring that they had given the whole amount.

Expecting commendation, they were struck dead instead.

Was their punishment too harsh? After all, their “slight” lie wasn’t life-threatening. “Whoever falsely boasts of giving is like clouds and wind without rain,” warns Proverbs 25:14. The apostle Peter asked Ananias, “Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit?” (Acts 5:3), adding, “You have not lied to men, but to God” (v.4).

If we are completely honest with ourselves, can we say that we are completely honest before God — Albert Lee

Lord, by Your Spirit grant that we
In word and deed may honest be;
All falsehood we would cast aside
—From You, O Lord, we cannot hide. —D. De Haan

There are no degrees of honesty.
