Kevin McCullough - Obama: Tebow Didn't Build That!

President Obama has never been one to tread lightly while insulting people's sports' sensibilities. It's just so awful that he exposes so much in the revelation of his elitist worldview while doing so.

From a purely campaign-based strategy viewpoint one would think that this path is counterproductive. After all you do want people's votes right?

Eh... maybe not...

"I've got to tell you, I don't like the idea of a quarterback controversy at the start of the season. If I was a Jets fan, I'd be pretty nervous," Obama said on a local sports talk show in Columbus, Ohio this week.

Hold the presses--Obama's doing sports talk stations now? With listening cumes of maybe 80,000? His press office won't allow him to come on my media platform that produces talk radio on 589 stations and reach 10,000,000 weekly listeners in cities like New York, Dallas, Atlanta, San Diego, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. Heh... sour grapes... moving on.

Evidently he's got the time.

Yes on a day when we learned that 163,000 new jobs had been created, while 365,000 new unemployment claims were simultaneously filed, and 150,000+ actually dropped OUT of the work force, I'm just thrilled to know, he's able to yuck it up with The Torg.

Yet nonetheless there he was this week, dogging Tim Tebow...

Sanchez "led them to the playoffs two years in the row," he said, "There's going to be a lot of tension in that situation."

Why Mr. President? Does having an exciting superstar sit as a back-up to someone who squeaked his team into the playoffs the last two years ever so threatening? Does Joe Biden scare you that much. (Of course we all know that Joe Biden was the biggest insurance policy against anything nefarious happening to our nation's top executive these last three years. I can't even say it without laughing, "President Biden?")

It is true, however, that Tebow wasn't able to lead his team to two playoffs in a row. After all he'd only been given the starting job for less than one season, but he turned a 1 & 4 Denver Bronco disaster into a Division winning, playoff team that beat the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers on 316 yards passing.

Mark Sanchez did go to the play-offs two seasons in a row. But couldn't lead his college team to any higher than number two in the BCS ranks and quit after his junior year.

Tim Tebow won the BCS Championship in college in 2006. He was named college football's top player in 2007. He then returned to the college ranks for his senior year and led his team to the BCS Championship win in 2008. All this with supposedly a flawed throwing mechanism.

Mark Sanchez supposedly has the perfect NFL throwing mechanism.

I'm quite sure that the results that Mark Sanchez has produced would guarantee him a starting spot for the upcoming season in the mind of President Obama. After all he's a "pretty smart" person, and one of those people who work "pretty hard."

Top that off with his very mediocre results and you have a classic Obama cocktail of "success."

Tim Tebow on the other hand, grew up as an abortion who lived. (The doctors in the Philippines literally told his mom to cut him up in the womb.) He didn't have the most talent of everybody out there. But instead learned how to honor his teammates, his family and his God, by putting the right priorities in order, and all he knows how to do is not make excuses for his play, but just to go out and win.

Now President Obama would have you believe that Tim Tebow wouldn't have gotten where he was without listening to everyone around him. But the truth be told if that had happened, he would've dropped out of football years ago.

Jets fans aren't nervous about Tebow Mr. President, their ecstatic. Here is a guy who doesn't blame others. He doesn't complain about how no one will work with him, or find a million excuses for his lack of results while on the job.

He just shows up, does the best he can the whole time he's there, and goes home and sleeps like a baby at night. How are you sleeping Mr. President?

President Obama doesn't like Tim Tebow being on the Jets because he might cause a quarterback controversy. Hardly...

President Obama doesn't like Tim Tebow because his very existence spits in the face of every pile of pious baloney President Obama has ever spoken.

It's true he had help from team mates, but the difference is, Tim Tebow knows how to use whatever situation he's in, to motivate, lead, take his team on his shoulders and set the example if necessary.

President Obama is learning how to play golf and knows how to... uh... campaign, and blame others for his lack of results.

So Mr. President why don't you become teachable, shut your flapper for once, and learn something about how life works.

Then when you've accomplished one tenth the stuff that Tebow has, maybe you can lecture someone about how to run a team, score a touchdown, create a job, run a small business, or sign the front of someone's paycheck.

Until then, I'm throwing in with someone with proven results... even if his throwing mechanism isn't perfect!

Matt Barber - Hating Tim Tebow

I grew up in Denver and am admittedly biased. I’m a Denver Broncos fanatic. In the Mile High City, the Broncos are more than just a football team; they’re an institution.

Everybody loves a comeback. Former Broncos quarterback John Elway — one of the greatest QBs in NFL history — had comebacks in his DNA. Since he retired in 1999 after back-to-back Super Bowl wins, Denver fans have been jonesing for that regular shot of adrenaline Elway provided week in, week out.

Enter Tim Tebow. In the category of, “Holy cow, can he actually do it?” no Broncos QB since Elway has delivered like Tebow has. He feels familiar. This is what Broncos fans expect. We don’t do steady. We prefer up and down, high and low until that improbable rocket launch to victory in the final seconds of the game.

Will Tebow end up an NFL great like John Elway? That remains to be seen. Opinions are all over the place. But what is certain is that Tim Tebow is more than just a sports phenomenon. He’s a cultural phenomenon.

For starters, Tebow’s very existence is somehow controversial. He’s a walking pro-life testimonial. He’s been pulling off comebacks since before he was born. Pam Tebow, Tim’s mother, courageously chose to carry baby Tim to term despite doctors’ recommendations that she abort him.

You may recall that before Tim went pro, the Christian group, Focus on the Family, commissioned an innocuous TV ad that ran during the 2010 Saints-Colts Super Bowl game. It briefly told the story of the Tebows’ pre-natal struggle. The word “abortion” was never even uttered, but a positive portrayal of childbearing was all it took.

And so began the left’s hate affair with Tim Tebow. Radical feminist groups, media-types and liberal pundits alike lost their collective noodle even before the ad ran.

Erin Mattson, vice president of The National Organization for Women (NOW), told ABC News that Tim’s story of survival was “really quite offensive. … This ad is hate masquerading as love!” she barked. Tim wasn’t dismembered alive and scraped in pieces from his mother’s womb, you see.

The New York-based Women’s Media Center launched a failed censorship petition drive to pull the ad, framing it as an “attack on choice.” Get it? Pam Tebow chose alright; she just happened to make the wrong “choice,” and dared to share about it publicly.

But as a Denver Bronco, Tim Tebow’s profile has grown exponentially. So too has the left’s hatred for him.

This is due in large part to his very open Christian faith. After each game, Tim begins by thanking God: “First and foremost, I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

And who hasn’t heard of “Tebowing,” wherein one drops to a knee in prayer?

Then there’s Tim’s favorite Bible verse, John 3:16, which he’s known to wear painted in black swaths under each eye. After the Broncos’ recent electrifying playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime, John 3:16 was reportedly the most popular search term on the Internet.

Remarkably, during the game Tebow passed for precisely 316 yards and averaged 31.6 yards per completed pass. The television viewing audience for the last 15 minutes of the game was 31.6 percent. This only added to the mystique.

So big was the story, in fact, that major news outlets like CNN ran the text of John 3:16 in its entirety: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The attention that Tebow’s bold Christian faith has drawn to the Gospel message has secular “progressives” and other God-deniers tied in knots.

American Atheists, a New Jersey-based group that promotes religious cleansing from the public sphere, says that Tebow is “full of cr*p.”

“Tebow takes religion and injects it into the mix and divides the fan base,” complained David Silverman, the group’s president.

“[Religion] injects the divisive force into football,” he continued (because, absent religion, football is just a touchy-feely snuggle fest). “Why in the world are we talking about religion when we are talking about football?” he demanded.

Of course, Tim Tebow is merely doing what Jesus asks of his followers: “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32)

The problem is that secular “progressives” don’t want Christ acknowledged before anyone, period; and they endeavor to shut down or mock anybody who tries.

During the Broncos’ regular season loss to the Buffalo Bills, for instance, “progressive” troglodyte and pseudo-intellectual funnyman Bill Maher tweeted about the game, encapsulating the left’s visceral hatred for Tim Tebow in 140 characters or less: “Wow, Jesus just [expletive deleted] #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler ‘Hey, Buffalo’s killing them.’”

Jesus addressed the Bill Mahers of the world — past, present and future — on more than one occasion. In John 15:18-20, for instance, He reminds His followers: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

Those who belong to the world do indeed hate Tim Tebow. He stands for much of what our postmodern popular culture despises: sexual purity within the bonds of natural marriage, the sanctity of human life, selflessness, personal charity, humility and much, much more.

I mean, Tim Tebow has never even been arrested for drug possession or sexual assault, for crying out loud. We simply can’t allow children this kind of role model.

So, does God care about who wins NFL football games? Probably not. Does he care about those who play, watch and love football? Unquestionably.

Win or lose, no matter what happens with the rest of the Denver Broncos football season, one thing is for sure: people will keep talking about Tim Tebow. And when people are talking about Tim Tebow, they can’t help but talk about the profound faith that drives him both on and off the field.

In the meantime: Go Broncos!

Jeannie DeAngelis - Obama, Tebow, and America's Hunger for Heroes

Originally posted at American Thinker

---

Ever hungry for an authentic hero, Americans have turned to Tim Tebow. Greek columns and Teleprompters have schooled us on how to discern the sincere from the bogus, and with Barack Obama as the measure, Tim Tebow's gold stands in contrast to Obama's dross.

One definition of a hero is "a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability; a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities; one who shows great courage; the central figure in an event, period, or movement."

The only way to explain the type of idolatry Barack Obama received when first emerging on the national scene was that America was longing for a national hero. Barack the narcissist recognized an opportunity, stepped forward, and accepted the accolades of a ravenous public who wanted to view someone they knew nothing about -- a legendary figure in the most basic sense.

Having done nothing but talk, Obama feigned heroic strength and ability and, with nary an achievement to speak of, accepted admiration for untested noble qualities and nonexistent accomplishment. Despite a shadowy past, in a stunning exhibit of egocentric self-delusion, Barack Obama even dared to align his razor-thin resume with true heroes like Abraham Lincoln; Teddy Roosevelt; and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Obama quickly became an object of mythological, almost divine adulation, and he reveled in it. So much so that he sowed the seeds of one possessing celestial abilities and promoted himself as the hope for future generations, with declarations such as "[t]his was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth."

After all the hype and verbose rhetoric carried Obama into the Oval Office, Charles Krauthammer aptly described him as a modern-day Icarus, "exhilarated by the thrill of flying" and buoyed above mortal man. But then superman Barack Obama got too close to a sun of his own making. Now with wax-wings melting, Obama finds himself drowning in a sea of his own false promises and incompetence.

Apart from Obama's non-accomplishments in politics or Tebow's impressive success in athletics, heroes are heroes not because of politics or sports. Lasting heroism is born not of style-icon status, but of the lasting genuineness that comes from inherent moral fiber.

Tebow is the type of champion who is everything Icarus-types like Barack Obama are not and can never be. Unlike Barack, Tim has claimed to be neither "mythological" nor "legendary" and yet, without self-promotion, has proven to be a man "endowed with great strength and ability" -- none of which he takes credit for, instead rather meekly giving glory to the One he views as greater than himself.

Unlike Barack Obama, Tim Tebow has achieved great things. For starters, his first stunning achievement was proving anti-life progressives wrong. Thanks to a loving mother and against the odds, Tim managed to make it out of the womb alive after abortion-minded doctors dismissed his chances. Tim Tebow's life is a living, breathing testimony for a world steeped in the selfishness and darkness that pro-abortion leftists like Barack Obama condone.

Through hard work, conviction, and dedication, Heisman Trophy-winner Tim Tebow actually won an award he earned, as opposed to Obama receiving and accepting a Nobel Peace Prize that both he and the rest of the world knew full well he did nothing to earn.

Quite different from pseudo-hero Barack Obama, Tim Tebow takes pride in personal responsibility and has yet to blame anyone for his failures, on or off the gridiron. Rather than make excuses for inadequacy and laziness, Tebow motivates and inspires others to look for the best within themselves and identify their God-given gifts.

Barack Obama talks the liberal talk about bettering the lives of poor children but then transfers the monetary burden of caring for the underprivileged onto the backs of taxpayers and makes it a governmental bureaucratic endeavor. For years, Tebow has made it a mission to go to Uncle Dick's Home, an orphanage in the Philippine Islands, where he walks the streets ministering -- not with empty words, but with life-changing deeds.

Upbeat and optimistic, having both physical and spiritual strength, unlike Barack Obama, Tim Tebow tends towards the positive and thus far appears to be doing a much better job of ensuring his team's victory than hero Obama is at ensuring victory for the Democratic Party.

Ironically, Denver Bronco number 15's home is the same Mile High Stadium where Barack Obama, positioned betwixt two Greek columns, made his celebrated acceptance speech, followed by the adulating roar of a packed house.

Yet the difference between Obama and Tebow is that, rather than wallow in the misguided adoration of star-struck people void of a relationship with God, true heroes exhibit an intrinsic reticence that issues forth from a heart that worships someone greater.

Tim Tebow speaks highly of others and humbles himself. He once said, "There are several things that keep me grounded and focused ... When you can humble yourself to say 'I'm no more important than anyone else. I just have a gift.'" That is quite different from Obama, who, in his first year in office, mentioned himself 1,200 times in 41 speeches.

Unlike Obama, who referred to his critics "purveyors of vitriol," Tim has yet to retaliate to his critics with harsh words or angry retorts.

Thus far, not humbled by shortcomings or failures, and as Obama prepares to inundate the nation with even more overconfident praise directed toward himself, the election season promises to bring personal exaltation to new heights, which is against everything Tim Tebow stands for. Yet hope springs eternal that America will not be duped a second time.

Regardless of the outcome, Tim Tebow could teach Barack Obama a thing or two about how heroes wait patiently for vindication to come based on the merit of their own character and performance. That patience may be why, after being told to discontinue writing Scripture references in his eye black, God stepped in and guided a dedicated servant's arm to write John 3:16 in the wind, an impossible occurrence that reminded a world searching desperately for a hero of the one achievement, in all of history, that really mattered.

Hence, if even for a season, while Icarus attempts to repair those melted wings, America has turned its eyes from Obama toward a young man who, with renewed strength, soars like an eagle; runs but does not grow weary; walks and does not faint; and whose hero is not himself, but whose hope rests solely in the Lord.

Tim Tebow - Man of Faith - Football and Charity

The Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International have announced plans to build a children’s hospital in the Philippines -- the country where Tebow, the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and a Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Florida, was born.

“I was born in the Philippines and my parents have been missionaries to that area since 1985. The Philippines have always had a special place in my heart,” Tebow said. “I’m excited to be a part of this hospital that will bring healing to thousands of children who would not otherwise have access to care.”

Jeannie DeAngelis - Dual Threat Quarterback: Tim Tebow

Originally posted at American Thinker

---

Tim Tebow, committed Christian, football phenomenon, and son of a woman who said "no" to abortion, must really be riling up the Demon-American community. When threatened, for lack of a better tactic liberal drones typically display a high level of hysteria, often in the form of contempt directed toward the righteous.

Exhibiting unabashed, unapologetic public devotion to God, miracle QB Tim Tebow is leading the Denver Broncos on what can only be described as a supernatural winning streak. Against both the odds and naysayer predictions, Touchdown Tim is proving to be a champion quarterback who appears to be improving with each game.

In addition to his gridiron prowess, Tim's Christianity has become the source of great controversy. Recently, after complimenting Tebow's success on the football field, former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer complained that the football star should tone down the overt God stuff and stick to sports.

Tebow responded by telling ESPN that backing off his faith was not an option, saying "That's how it works because Christ comes first in my life, and then my family, and then my teammates." Courteously clarifying further, Tebow said, "I respect Jake's opinion, and I really appreciate his compliment of calling me a winner. But I feel like anytime I get the opportunity to give the Lord some praise, He is due for it."

Recently, the dual threat of Tim's Christianity, coupled with his 2010 Super Bowl commercial, and the story of his mother Pam's willingness to lay down her own life to give birth to a baby doctors predicted would be less than perfect, has transformed frustrated ridicule of religion into outright mockery from an outspoken pro-abortion group.

Being as open about their displeasure with Tebow's pro-life stance as Tim is about his Christianity, a group of "unapologetic abortion activists for reproductive justice" stepped forward with a suggestion on how to trip up Tebow: by tying the football star, against his will, to furthering their mission to kill babies.

Sophia, proud blogger and contributor at abortiongang.org, has issued a satanically-inspired suggestion that she almost certainly hopes will either thwart Tim Tebow's ongoing desire to be successful on the football field, or poke fun at his image as a pro-life spokesperson.

Caught 'between a rock and a hard place' herself, Sophia has had to admit that, try as she might to resist because she always "feels a bit, well, wrong" supporting a "guy that's openly anti-choice," she's been "rooting for [Tim]" because according to her, "Yeah, he's that damn good."

So in an effort to neutralize her remorse (for supporting someone who supports life), the "do what [you] want...with [your] uteri" activist/Broncos fan came up with a creative way to marry scoffing at Tebow and supporting abortion on demand.

The Sophia solution: Pro-choice sports fans cheer on Tim and every time he makes a touchdown in the game against the New England Patriots, donate $5 or $10 to finance disposing of unborn babies. That way Tim Tebow, whether he likes it or not, is working in a roundabout way to support abortion.

If the Broncos continue their winning streak, Sophia plans to keep up with the campaign directed at Tebow by promoting the 'Help Pay for an Abortion' pledge throughout the NFL playoffs.

The idea is, if Tim succeeds by scoring, instead of doing the wave, pro-choicers would celebrate by dropping a couple of bucks into the baby-killing fund at the local abortion clinic. Thus, Tebow touchdowns will instantly translate into more money to end the very lives that Tebow lobbies to save.

In a very clever message entitled "When sports and anti-abortion messages collide and what to do about it," committed abortion activist Sophia, clearly still peeved by the Super Bowl commercial Tim Tebow made in 2010, voiced her mockery-based logic in the following way:

In his commercial (funded by Focus on the Family) he reminded everyone that his mother was a missionary whose life was threatened by her pregnancy - or more specifically, the pregnancy that would turn into the child who would become the man who would become Tim Tebow.

This line of reasoning is not a new one for anti-choice groups. The message is, "if you abort, just think, that could be the next President of the United States in there, the next scientist that cures cancer, or the next greatest football player alive!" Never mind the fact that Tebow's mother made the decision despite the risk to her health for herself -- something denied to women seeking or supporting abortion -- it is clear to everyone (or should be, anyway) with a brain that 99.9% of the fetuses gestating right now are not, in fact, going to become gifted athletes like Tim Tebow.

Or, for that matter, another Beethoven, Albert Einstein, or a pro-choice pharmacist who could one day come up with the perfect morning-after pill.

Nonetheless, despite Sophia's failure to mention that Tebow's mother's "risk to her health" resulted in her giving birth to a perfectly healthy child, even secularists would be hard-pressed to deny that with each passing play, it appears as if angels are guarding Tim Tebow and lifting him "up in their hands," to prevent the young NFL star from "striking [his] foot against a stone."

Based on what Denver Bronco number 15's critics have accomplished thus far, mockery as a ploy to raise money for abortion mills will instead call attention to the unflinching testimony of the committed sports hero.

New England Patriot head coach Bill Belichick summed it up perfectly when he said, "There's not another quarterback in the league who has Tim Tebow's skills." Whether realizing it or not, Belichick's observation revealed the continuing folly of those who attempt to hinder Tebow, whether on or off the football field - an effort that is proving futile by anyone that tries it.

As despicable as it is for a vile group like abortiongang.org to exploit Tebow's touchdowns in an attempt to score dollars for the anti-life cause, Tim Tebow will likely meet their open disdain with the same level of poise and gracious composure he has exhibited towards all who disparage his pro-life activism and open profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

Doug Giles - Rebel, Rebel: Tim Tebow

I wonder if the Tebow critics would be as mouthy about his faith if Tim’s name was Achmed and the god he praised after a TD was Allah. I doubt it. Why do I hesitate? Well, it’s principally because Christophobic toads are afraid to turn the verbal guns they use to berate Christians on Muslims, that’s why. Plus, they’d probably go to jail or get fired for “hate speech,” but good Lord, you can certainly rag on Christians, now can’t ‘cha?

Yes, my children, Christians are fair game because the brethren won’t retaliate with an underwear bomb when you rip on them, and ridiculing them won’t get one censored. The harpy head lice know it and thus proceed with their daft quips about Tim’s faith displays. Macho, macho men.

Hey, Tebow critics: Why don’t you lambaste someone else with your unread blog? Y’know, like the air-humping narcissistic players who make parents cover their kids’ eyes every time they make a decent play, huh? Or would doing so be to condemn thyself, soul stroker?

Let me see if I get this straight: A sex worshipping, multi-tattooed thug with three illegit kids from three different women scores a touchdown and then proceeds to simulate a sex act in the end zone—in front of our children and the millions watching by television—and that’s okay? Why sure it is. Who are we to judge? Matter of fact, let’s give that future inmate a Nike ad and bump his contract up a few mil because he brings spice (and crabs) to the game. Ah … sweet progress.

On the other hand, in this evil-is-good and good-is-evil highway to hell culture, Tim Tebow, a model citizen, points toward heaven or bows a Rodin-style knee to Yahweh, and boom … he’s the bad guy. Well, if that’s the way it is in this culture of corruption then I’m supporting the rebel, Tim Tebow. He’s a rebel with a cause. The others are ridiculous without a clue.

Oh, by the way, I thought bullying was banned in this nicey-nice milieu that the progressives have created. Did I miss a class where it is cool to mock the crap out of anyone who wears their faith in Jesus Christ on their sleeve? I must have because these jealous wannabes are going medieval on the Broncos’ QB.

As I sit back and watch the Tebow haters moan online and on air about TT’s commitment to the Five Solas of the Reformation, I’m trying to get what’s left of my mind around Tebow’s crimes against humanity. So far here’s what I have come up with:

1. Tim believes in Jesus Christ. As do, I believe, um, millions upon millions of other folks. Let me check. Yes, I’m right. Google says there are a bunch of Christians out there.
2. Tim’s a virgin. You can’t be a virgin anymore in our day, right? Yes, not being a whore in the 21st century is a sin to many like Charlie Sheen. Let me ask the ladies this question: Would you be cool with marrying a handsome, multi-millionaire star quarterback who you know doesn’t have some STD eating his junk? I thought so.
3. Tim is public with his praise to God … as were Abraham, Moses, David, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Jesus, the Apostle Paul and America’s founders.
4. The Broncos miraculously keep on winning.

In summary, Tim is guilty of gratitude to God for all that He has given him, purity when it comes to sex and winning football games. Wow, what a loser.

Oh, one more thing: This goes out to the obnoxious atheists who are spewing smack about Tebow’s devotion to God. Say you’re wrong in your assessment of whether there is a God or not, and oops, it turns out He does exist. I’m a guessin’ that you might be messin’ your pants one day when you have to go toe-to-toe with the One whose faithful followers you’ve been mocking for the last few years.

Go Broncos!

Jeannie DeAngelis - Tebow, Palin, and the Pain of Remorse

Originally posted at American Thinker

Tim Tebow is really annoying to certain people in a Sarah Palin sort of way. Whenever Tim or Sarah shows up, an uncomfortable feeling accompanies him or her, and it's called conviction. One definition for "convict" is "to impress with a sense of guilt." That is precisely what Tim Tebow and Sarah Palin are guilty of: impressing shame and remorse upon America that it would prefer to avoid.

The Palin family has been mocked and derided for many reasons, including baby boy Trig, born with Down Syndrome. This past spring, after former Gov. Palin posted a birthday tribute to her son, former Wonkette writer Jack Stuef called Trig a "magic intellectually disabled baby prop." Stuef questioned "Trig's parentage, implying he was conceived in incest, and used the R word." Stuef has since apologized and said he regretted using the word "retarded," but he stands by his criticism of Palin.

By approving of and promoting policies that destroy innocent human life, the left is hateful enough. However, when a conservative public figure "chooses" life, what emanates from hate-spewing liberals amounts to a new level of vitriol.

That rage is evidenced by liberal reactions to Sarah Palin, who celebrates the life of a child whom some liberals would deem a disposable burden on society. Palin said it so well in a 2011 Thanksgiving tribute to Trig when she shared:

Through Trig, I see firsthand that there is man's standard of perfection, and then there is God's. Man's standard is flawed, temporary, and shallow. God's standard lasts an eternity. At the end of the day, His is what matters.

And what about that pesky Tim Tebow? In 1987, Tim's mother Pam chose to grant her son the gift of life. Pregnant and suffering from a life-threatening infection, Pam Tebow, a missionary with her husband Robert to the Philippines, was told that her and Robert's child would be stillborn. Rather than take the advice of her doctor and abort, Pam Tebow chose to trust God.

Both mother and baby survived, and today, much like Sarah and Trig Palin, Pam and Tim Tebow both pose a problematic contradiction to one of the strongest arguments abortion advocates use when arguing to justify disposing of the unborn.

To this day, 24 years after proving the doctor wrong, starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos Tim Tebow remains downright annoying. Every time he makes an appearance on the football field, without opening his mouth, the abortion survivor takes all the fun out of the sport. Why? Because pro-choice America is forced to look into the face of a strapping miracle child whose mother put his life ahead of her own.

To make matters worse, not only did the Tebow family allow the child to be born, but they then did the unthinkable and raised him to be a devout Christian.

Now, as a football star, Tebow is open about that faith and his relationship to Christ, and that bold testimony has become a center of controversy. Mike McCarthy of USA Today says that when he "tunes in to watch sports[,] he deserves to just get sports," and sort of resents Tim thanking and praising God.

Former Denver Bronco quarterback Jake Plummer agrees. Plummer extended kudos to Tebow's accomplishments as a football player but tempered his enthusiasm by saying:

Tebow, regardless of whether I wish he'd just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates, I think he's a winner and I respect that about him. I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ then I think I'll like him a little better. I don't hate him because of that, I just would rather not have to hear that every single time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff.

Unbowed, Tim graciously responded to the criticism by attesting that his relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing in his life. Tebow said, "So any time I get an opportunity to tell Him that I love Him or given an opportunity to shout Him out on national TV, I'm gonna take that opportunity."

What Jake Plummer doesn't realize is that even if Tim Tebow never says another word about Jesus, forgoes writing John 3:16 in his eye black, decides to relinquish his virginity before marriage, and never again teams up with Focus on the Family to sponsor pro-life ads during the Super Bowl, his mere presence on the planet speaks volumes to a secular society driven by heartless liberal policies.

Not only does abortion survivor Tim Tebow live, but as a staunch follower of Jesus Christ, he is a source of double-conviction in a godless world where devotion to sports often supersedes commitment to God.

Based on the left's reaction, seems Trig Palin and Tim Tebow are huge thorns in the side of pro-choice America. So are their mothers, who, if they'd only exercised the right to choose, would have made life a lot more comfortable for those who would rather avoid dredging up past mistakes.

Instead, every time Trig or Tim shows up, those who would rather look away are forced to stare into a looking glass that reflects dedication to heroes who are no heroes at all, images associated with the sorrow of abortion, and the senseless self-interest of a nation's ungodly attachment to a level of futility that, in the end, delivers nothing but a lifetime of regret.
