On the domestic front the author of this article should also have mentioned the amnesty no win program, terrorism, a run on the dollar, hyper inflation, high unemployment, riots, energy shortages, rationing, a draft, perhaps an EMP attack, thought police and maybe a police state. On the foreign threat he missed North Korea, Venezuela, and probably the next world war. Combine what Gerard Baker suggested in this article and what I just added, throw in a few unknown ingredients, turn the world upside down and let it simmer for a couple of years and what will come out of America’s melting pot?

This is the election you wouldn’t want to win | Gerard Baker - Times Online

It is highly probable that that moment, the very hour that he takes office, will be the high point of his presidency. Whoever wins on November 4 will be ascending to the job at one of the most difficult times for an American chief executive in at least half a century.

At some point reality will bite hard and politicians will discover that they simply cannot go on funding two wars, cutting taxes, creating vast new government health and pension programmes and doing the other essential things that the Federal Government does

The US is now indisputably entering the darkest phase of a period that will not only produce real hardship, but could send further shocks through financial markets and cause deeper fiscal damage.

Then there is energy policy. Weaning America off its oil addiction might actually need to be a policy rather than a slogan in the next four years; but that will place new burdens on the budget and require sacrifices difficult to make in good times, let alone in economically distressed ones.

Compared with all this, foreign policy looks like a doddle.

The next president has only to complete the process of transition in Iraq, win the war in Afghanistan, face down a resurgent Russia, continue to keep its foot on the throat of stateless Islamist terrorism, stop Iran from going nuclear and figure out what to do about the challenge from China - the most serious threat to US global hegemony since America became top nation.

Oh, and I didn’t mention Pakistan. Conversations this week with advisers to both campaigns suggest that both now see Pakistan - especially after last week’s terrorist attack in Islamabad - as perhaps the most intractable and serious challenge of all in the next few years: they candidly admit that no one has much of a clue what to do about it.

• The Far Left plans to make all Americas controlled subjects of their elitist controlled government agencies.
• The Far Left plans to put in place judges that will interpret the constitution as a living document that can be changed by a judge’s decree. In other words, they will subvert the original Constitution of the United States to make it say anything they want it to say.
• The Far Left will pass hate speech laws that will muzzle biblical Christianity and they will imprison or fine people who break these laws.
• The Far Left will have gas rationing and they will control how much you are allowed to drive.

• The Far Left will triple the price of energy costs for all Americans and bring in environmentally dangerous and high cost experiments such as windmills. Paid for by taxes and electricity costs.
• The Far Left will not allow new domestic oil and gas drilling in offshore areas and on federal oil shale lands. (Don’t let their recent offshore oil bill in the house fool you. That bill is a deliberate deception that proves my point about the lies the Far Left will stoop to in order to deceive the electorate. Their proposal does not even allow drilling where the offshore oil actually is and it gives no oil revenues to states that have control over the drilling. So why would the states allow the drilling? There are many other evil deceptions in that bill and they know it will never foster oil drilling. Yet they pass it only to deceive and appease.)
• The Far Left will start new wealth transfer programs, claim they will get the money from the rich but that is impossible. They will raise taxes on the middle class.
• The Far Left will attempt to take away all guns from law abiding citizens while doing nothing to take away guns from the criminals.
• The Far Left will have the children in school report on their parents rather than the schools reporting to the parents on their children. They will tell you how you must raise your child from birth and if you do not do what you are told they will take your children.
• The Far Left will stop home schooling and dictate course curriculum to private schools.
• The Far Left will create a civilian snitch force and a national police force. They will have people who monitor what preachers say in their pulpits and attempt to intimidate them into only giving politically correct messages.

• The Far Left will have required courses and agendas to brainwash your kids to their godless socialist ideals.
• The Far Left will make all accept homosexual marriage and they will support sexual debauchery of other sorts. They will enforce the acceptance of this evil through the indoctrination of your children and through thought police. For example, your children, coworkers and congregation members will be given incentives to report what you say about homosexuality to the authorities if what you say deviates from the hate speech laws.
• The Far Left will continue to support all abortions because they want less people on the earth.
• The Far Left will try to stop the eating of meat by making it so costly that only the elite will be able to afford it.
• The Far left will bring in health plans that will deny procedures to the elderly or anyone else that they do not think is worthy of the cost.

• Hillary will be waiting in the wings.

The Left wing media is trying so hard to make Gov. Palin say something that they can use against her that they expose themselves to look like the fifth column hypocrites that they have actually become. They will not believe that mainstream America still believes in God and Country and wants politicians in office who think likewise. That is foolishness to the godless Left who might give lip service to God but makes God a dependent force controlled by man.

Now we have a Vice Presidential candidate that talks about God and Country and what is right about America in the face of an opponent who openly mocks those that live in Christian areas that still cling to God. Obama also displays his hatred for America by the racist church that he attended, his associates, his unpatriotic stance, his voting record and his proposals to change America to failed socialism and moral decadence. If anyone doubts that the leftist press attacks are spiritually motivated just listen to their glossolalia. The spirit within them drives the devils into a virtual tongues frenzy.

Article

Sen. Barack Obama’s behind-closed-doors remark in San Francisco to the effect that worried blue-collar chumps cling to God and guns perfectly captured the left’s worldview, equating faith and firearms as equal menaces to an enlightened society.

Then along came Palin to appall the establishment - a moose-hunting Christian with a working-class husband, the precise stereotype Obama had mocked. The media’s attacks on her since her nomination have been the most unfair I’ve ever seen.

I come from a world where belief is powerful - small-town, hardscrabble America. I have relatives whose faith is embedded in exuberant communal worship and public celebrations of redemption and joy. Washington, the professorate and the media not only don’t understand such believers, they despise them.

Earlier this week, I watched, sickened, as CNN did its best to excite fear of Palin’s religious beliefs.

for all the joyous noise at those Alaskan churches, I’ll bet my life that none of the pastors who preached to Palin over the years ever shouted “God damn America!” or blamed the United States for the world’s ills, or accused our government of creating AIDS to kill black Americans.

None of the bigoted, hate-filled rants of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright have been replayed to counterbalance the mockery heaped upon Palin’s religious background. Of course, Wright’s anti-American tirades fit the worldview of the Dems’ left-wing base - so Obama got a pass when he claimed that, over 20 years, he never heard any hate speech in Wright’s church.

Besides, Dems believe that blacks are supposed to jump around and shout in church - but whites who do that are wackos. (No stereotypes there, folks!)

John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin was brilliant. He could not have pleased Evangelical Conservatives more had he picked Kay Arthur for his Vice President running mate. Here is a bright young vibrant born again Christian Governor that is not part of the good old boy Washington political establishment. A woman that is actually living out her faith in her decisions and lifestyle. Dr. Dobson is excited about Sarah Palin being McCain’s choice as is Rush Limbaugh and they will now support McCain. These are the the two big voices that can actually bring out a large conservative vote for McCain. This choice by McCain also sets the stage for the future of the Republican party if
he should win.

Sarah Palin certainly will be a great asset to help McCain win. She will not only appeal to mainstream women she will appeal to blue collar Democrats opposed to abortion and elitist socialism. With this ticket I also support McCain even though I do not agree with some of his past positions. The alternative to this ticket is the ticket of the far left and their demented polices will likely bring the demise of this nation.

You also have to give McCain some credit for his leadership decisions and his judgment. Obama is so out of touch that he could not even pick a suitable Vice President that would appeal to mainstream America. He picked a tired old liberal ivy league professional politician from the good-old-boy network. Mainstream America does not want Joe Biden with his lack of good judgment and his talking down to everyone who does not agree. The Catholic church is not even sure that they want him in their fellowship with his pro abortion views.

I guess some will say that McCain only picked Sarah Palin as a strategic move and that he does not actually believe the things that she does. That certainly might be true but think about this reality. John McCain is 72 years old. Statistics indicate that there is about a 20 percent chance the he will not finish out his first term. He would have only about a 50/50 chance of finishing two terms and if either should happen the most grounded Christian and independent minded person in politics would take over.

Also having Sarah Palin as number two will keep John McCain honest. Should be become too liberal there is a huge chance that he would not even be nominated for a second term and there is also a chance in any case that McCain will not even run for a second term. If any of these things happen Sarah Palin would become the front runner for President. Palin will become hugely popular after a term as Vice President as she is popular as Governor of Alaska with over 80 percent support. Even if McCain serves out two full terms Sarah Palin would be the logical successor and that should be a good thought for Christians.

So I am bringing all this up to tell those who said they will sit out this election because they do not like either choice to now reconsider and vote for McCain/Palin. God could have a plan here for restoring America to constitutional government, as well as fiscal and moral sanity, if His people will do their part and vote against the takeover of America by far left radicals.

A GOP first — female VP nominee (OneNewsNow.com)

John McCain has announced an “out-of-the-box” pick for his vice-presidential running mate: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. (see video report)

In Dayton, Ohio, the McCain campaign has confirmed that the presumptive GOP presidential nominee named Palin — the first female governor of Alaska — as his pick to join him on the November ticket. Palin and her husband, Todd, are the parents of five children, one of them with Down syndrome. She is a reformer and a self-styled “hockey mom.”

The 44-year-old governor, described by some in the media as a “religious conservative,” was elected to lead Alaska in 2006 after defeating the Republican incumbent. She is strongly pro-life, opposes same-sex “marriage,” and is noted for her energy policies promoting independence from big oil companies.

Governor Palin is described by many conservatives as someone who will rally not only women voters, but also pro-life supporters. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, says pro-life supporters are familiar with Governor Palin. He says Governor’s Palin’s spot on the ticket will attract those who had mixed feelings about Senator McCain.

“If we look at the vast segment of the electorate for whom abortion influences their vote — and that’s approximately one third or more of the electorate — then we find within that segment that there is a two-to-one margin in favor of pro-life candidates.”

Christian activist Dr. Gary Cass also believes evangelicals will strongly support McCain now that he has chosen Palen as his running mate. Cass is chairman of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC), which this past spring unveiled an online petition. The document called on presidential nominees for both major political parties to select a running mate who as been born again, who publicly affirms historic Christianity, and who has a proven record of supporting traditional Christian morality.

Cass says Governor Palin will re-energize the evangelical base. “We have a young, evangelical leader who stands for our particular issues, who will be now be a leader into the future,” he says of the governor-turned-VP-candidate. “[I]t was a very courageous choice by John McCain.”

I always said wait until the counterculture hippies grew up and they got into positions of power. Well that day has arrived and they have taken control of the education system, political system, national media, and the religious systems of America. They also produced postmodern brainwashed children who now believe themselves to be the norm. So unless real Christians and real conservatives win this cultural war it is the end of this nation. When the far left hippies and their offspring gain total control they will embrace a totally pagan fascist world system. Woe to any who oppose them.

Had anyone said that America would decline this rapidly fifty years ago people would have thought you were smoking dope. Now half of our society is smoking dope or worse and they all think that they are perfectly sane. The Democrat running for President even claimed to be a crack user himself but does anyone care? The Democrat running for President never distinguished himself in any position he ever held but does anyone care? The hippies and their offspring just want change toward a secular idealism that is not possible with man’s evil nature. They like murder of the unborn being their own choice, so they all hail the Obamanation. They like it that homosexuality is destroying morality in America so they will have no moral restraints, so they all hail the Obamanation. They think Christianity is creating a world utopia on earth for people to continue in their abominations, so they all hail the Obamanation. All the idol worshipers now worship the Obamanation because he has the same demented values of the old hippies and their young offspring.

Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - Jezebel and the Cultural Creatives

The Emergent Village and “progressive” Christian liberalism are but a drop in the progressive bucket. To their left, “cultural creatives” or “new progressives” are brimming over with an optimistic vision for taking political power.

Who are the “cultural creatives”? They define themselves as the “organic food-buying, national-health-care-supporting, yoga-practicing, misunderstood counter-culturalists.” According to the high-end spirituality magazine, What Is Enlightenment? (August/October, 2008), their ranks continue to swell, thanks to Al Gore’s movie, Barack Obama’s “change”, and Eckhardt Tolle and Oprah Winfrey’s “New Earth” webinar (see NC #47). This movement favors “ecological sustainability (read: green collectivism), non-traditional spirituality (neo-pagan religion), civil rights (rights for all sexual expressions) and grassroots politics (non-democratic, non-governmental organizations working under the geo-political umbrella of the United Nations). They also distinguish themselves from “modernism” (secular humanism) and “traditionalism” (Christianity).

Their appearance is of immense historical and religious significance. They explicitly identify themselves as inheritors of the “values revolution [of] the Sixties [that] is still developing and maturing.”

They are the maturing fruit of a development that no one expected. We all thought the Sixties was an ephemeral social event driven by marginal drop-out hippies. Whoops, they dropped back in! In the Left Coast New Age spirituality we witnessed the first signs of a major religious and social revolution. Its conquering march through the institutions has established as normative a worldview of drug-aided mystical, neo-pagan spirituality, radical egalitarianism and total sexual license. The marginal cult has now morphed into a master plan, a full-blown all-inclusive spiritual worldview to transform every aspect of life on the planet. The bizarre views of the Sixties counter-culturalists, though few knew it, signaled the disturbing germination, in “Christian” America, of the age-old alternative to biblical theism, namely spiritual paganism.

Pat Buchanan makes the case on Obama’s very extreme abortion position and implies that Catholics would not vote for Barack Obama. The problem is that most of the Catholics I know support Obama for President. So what does that say about their claim to believe in Catholicism? Let’s not forget that many Liberal Protestants and New Evangelicals also support Barack Obama. Seems to me that many “Christians” in this nation need to choose whom they will serve. Will they choose to serve the Lord or will they continue to serve the doctrines of abortion loving godless secular humanists?

A Catholic case against Barack

Obama is an abortion absolutist. “I could find no instance in his entire career,” writes Freddoso, “in which he voted for any regulation or restriction on the practice of abortion.”

In 2007, Barack pledged that, in his first act as president, he will sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would cancel every federal, state or local regulation or restriction on abortion. The National Organization for Women says it would abolish all restrictions on government funding of abortion.

What we once called God’s country would become the nation on earth most zealously committed to an unrestricted right of abortion from conception to birth.

Before any devout Catholic, Evangelical Christian or Orthodox Jew votes for Obama, he or she might spend 15 minutes in Chapter 10 of Freddoso’s “Case Against Barack.” For if, as Catholics believe, abortion is the killing of an unborn child, and participation in an abortion entails automatic excommunication, how can a good Catholic support a candidate who will appoint justices to make Roe v. Wade eternal and eliminate all restrictions on a practice Catholics legislators have fought for three decades to curtail?

And which Catholic priests and prelates will it be who give invocations at Obama rallies, even as Mother Church fights to save the lives of unborn children whom Obama believes have no right to life and no rights at all?

Geoff Metcalf thinks we need to vote for the lessor of the two evils. He is correct that we cannot just throw a switch and return to constitutional government. Some people just do not live in reality. The liberals have been taking this country for a long time by incrementation. I guess constitutionalists will have to take back the country back little by little as well if that is possible. If not, I ask you what is the alternative outside of civil war and a break up of the Union?

When 50 percent of the people in the United States will vote for Obama, socialism and the amorality of the Democratic Party we are obviously a nation on the brink of change. So do Bible believing Christians attempt to hold high ground and try to fight another day by electing the lessor evil or do we just throw in the towel and let the party of Obama, Polosi and Reed totally control the country and change America into the Peoples Republic of Amerika?

After four years of those people in power there will be no going back because they will have changed the rules and free speech and free press will not exist. On the one hand, it is going to happen sooner or later anyway if our moral slide continues. On the other hand, voting for the lessor evil might give some people in the U.S. four years to regain their minds. That is choice to make this year.

“Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.” –Thomas Henry Huxley

I was flooded with excoriating email in the wake of my suggestion we are compelled to accept the lesser of available evils and vote McCain.

It was bad enough I wrote it, and meant what I wrote, but various editors changed the original headline (‘Reluctantly Responsible’) to make my sins appear even more heinous.

Fans of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr all argue for ‘their’ guy being the solution to the cancer eating away at the GOP and the republic. If only that were true…

Many of the more abusive emails sounded a lot like reading Geoff Metcalf (circa ‘91/’98/’2000/and even 2004). I have been called a very comprehensive variety of nasty names and had my intelligence, insight, manhood and patriotism challenged.

I understand the vitriol and the frustration and the primary counter to my column. Frankly, I wrote much of the same during the Dole/Clinton election. I even quoted Aaron Tippin and Buddy Brock, “You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything”

The republic has been eviscerated over time by chronic liberal incrementalism. It is politically impossible to restore the republic to a pre 1913 or pre 1865 condition with the flick of a light switch. Critics will attack me for endorsing ‘evil-lite’…and they are right. However, the incremental objectives should be to get evil-lite lighter and lighter.

Principles do matter. However, when faced with bad weather, bad terrain, superior enemy forces and inadequate logistics, it is not an abandonment of principle to change strategy and tactics.

Despite the flood of protestations to the contrary, MY principles are not compromised. MY beliefs are not abandoned, and MY recognition of the desperate need to restore the republic to the framers model as an imperative is not shaken.

However, reality cannot be ignored. Hate it, revile it, refute it, and make believe it ain’t so, but it WILL happen. Either John McCain or Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States.

I also asked Novak how do you counter the apparent and ubiquitous media bias against almost any (real) Republican idea?

He said, “The problem is not that the media beats-up on the conservatives but that the conservatives are so weak-kneed and indecisive, retreating in short-order whenever someone turns on them.”

What Janet says in this article and her book is going to come to pass if “Christians” do not stop the anti Christian hate speech agenda. Those who love their sins will criminalize anything in Christianity that offends them. If you help elect Obama with his support of hate speech and thought-crime agendas and his stand that is contrary to the Bible on many issues you will have brought it on yourself. Also, if you elect that Liberal to the house or the Senate you will have brought it on yourself.

You can say we are working class, blacks, Catholics etc and we always voted democrat but you had better wake up and realize that this is no longer the party of your daddy. The democrats now represent all anti Christian values. You can’t say you wasn’t warned and that jail cell will not have your name on it it will just have your number.

Or will you just comply with their new laws like Lot and watch your children and grand children and everyone you know join the practices of Sodom and Gomorrah. Be aware that only Lot and his two unmarried daughters escaped the destruction. Where was the rest of his family and all his servants?

A jail cell with your name on it?

You’re a “quiet Christian” who thinks you’ll be safe if you just lie low? That’s exactly what will close your business or your church. Whether you rent rooms like the Knights of Columbus, who were fined $1,000 for not using their facilities to participate in a homosexual “marriage” reception, or are a printer like Scott Brockie, who was fined $5,000 and slapped with $170,000 in legal fees because he didn’t want to print homosexual materials, or the Canadian pastor told to deny his faith and denounce his pro-marriage stand, the ONLY way to keep your freedom is to use it now.

When the church was persecuted in England and Europe, our Founding Fathers came to America for freedom. People still build boats from scrap wood to try to come here for a glimpse of it. America is the last, best hope of the world. If we lose, there is nowhere else to go.

This is not the time for a “protest” vote. And forget about a third party. Because if Barack Obama is elected, with his thought-crimes agenda and support of the redefinition of marriage, the change we see won’t look anything like America.

Is America now under judgment? When are acts of God acts of God? Has America done anything worthy of judgment? You be the judge.

• Psychology theories originated from the occult have corrupted much Christian counseling and other programs.
• New Age pagan thought is now all over the media and is being accepted by many claiming to be Christians.

• Terrorist attacks would become likely.
• Hate speech laws will be passed and constitutional freedoms will be redefined by the courts. Government tyranny will become a major issue.
• A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack may happen. It would leave the nation helpless without electric for months or years. (This would be the ultimate judgment it would most likely bring the complete collapse of our society).
• The complete collapse of our economic system is possible.
• Collapse of our social system and declining into anarchy is possible.
• The break up of the Union is possible.

The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Don’t you think it would be wise for people in this nation to fear the Lord instead of Him having to send correction because we will not do what is right?

Anyone who reads this will know what Obama is not. By the words coming from his own mouth Obama could not be a Christian. I say let the man speak for himself!

Barack Obama—the Muslim Christian? - CWN

So who, exactly, is Barack Obama? It’s only fair to let the man speak for himself: (Click link above)

Summery:

And so, my friends and associates, that is the gospel according to Barack Obama. Senator Obama believes you can be a Christian and not believe in the biblical Jesus Christ. He believes you can support homosexuality—including civil marriages and adoptions—and still be a follower of Jesus Christ. Barack Obama believes the taking of innocent life in the form of an unborn child is acceptable under most circumstances. He believes there is more than one way to God. He has never publicly renounced the Prophet Mohammed. This is the “Christianity” of Barack Obama, who seems to think he can take historic theology and spin it like cotton candy.

But the bottom line in life is that words have specific meanings. A heart is a heart—it can never be a lung. Definition is the foundation of logic, and logic fuels a rational society. Barack Obama may use and abuse the name “Christian,” but as long as he rejects the biblical definition of Christianity, he can never be one.

what we have are Evangelicals who really think that the Church will be influencing government to help bring in the social actions of a Christian kingdom on earth. What they do not understand is that you do not get into the pigpen if you want to yoke up with those that will pull on clean fertile ground. They also do not understand that there will be no Christian taking of the earth before the return of the King. What they will end up with is amoral secular socialism using them until the godless decide they want to get the religious monkey off their back. Thus, the Woman that rides the Beast of Revelation is attacked by the swine Beast system.

Spat between Obama and Dobson just the beginning - CWN

Most importantly, he will turn every verse in Scripture that teaches about individual responsibility into a dictum on government policy. The Bible says that we should give to the poor; therefore, we ought to raise taxes on the rich in order to redistribute such wealth. The Bible says that we should feed the needy; therefore, we ought to raise taxes to send money and aid to foreign governments. The Bible says that we ought to seek to be at peace; therefore we should submit to the authority of the United Nations. The Bible says that we are to care for the sick; therefore we must adopt universal health care akin to the stellar European system. Can anyone say, “Non-Sequitur?”
He will do all of these things with a new wave of evangelicals in his pocket who are equally satisfied with ignoring basic principles of Biblical interpretation as well as all things historical. Marxism does not work, even if employed with a Biblical cloak; but damn-it if they don’t try. Here’s hoping that someone sends a regular dosage of blood pressure medication to Dr. Do

In another post today I indicated pretty much what Hawkins says in this article. We certainly are only one Supreme Court justice away from being like the French. We might not even be that far away because Justice Kennedy can go either way. For me it is a forgone conclusion that the court will turn liberal and legislate from the bench to take away our constitutional if Obama appoints the next Justices. When men in black robes who act like the French start to do that I wonder what our people will do? Will they continue to be the government of the people or the people run by five or more socialist social engineers wearing French black robes.

Only One Justice Away from Being French - HUMAN EVENTS

The more news coverage of the Supreme Court’s “historic” decision upholding the Second Amendment I saw the more depressed I became. Though I’m grateful for the way the decision fell, I could not help being appalled by the fact that only 5 out of 9 justices now believe that the Constitution is constitutional. In short, the United States is only one liberal Supreme Court justice away from being judicially transformed into France.

Each semester in my American History courses on the university campus, I explain to my students that the 2nd Amendment is the only amendment which contains the words, “necessary to the security of a free state.” If you take away the 2nd Amendment you take away security, plain and simple. The kind of security free men know and love; the kind of security hundreds of thousands of our military men and women have died to restore to failing European nations; the kind friends of mine revel in when they get their concealed carry permits and say, “Frenchmen can’t do this.”

Yet the magnitude of this issue persuades me that I have not said enough, and that I even understated the seriousness of this matter in my opening paragraph when I indicated that only 5 out 9 justices now believe the Constitution to be constitutional. Therefore, in the interest of freedom and clarity of speech, I am determined that the next time a student asks about gun rights or a friend about concealed carry licenses, I will take the time in both situations to remind them that we are now only one liberal justice away from being transformed into Frenchmen.

Just wait a couple of years until what they are doing in Colorado and California becomes national laws. Think not? Give Democrats complete control of all branches of government and I assure you national hate speak laws and school and corporate sex indoctrination laws will be passed and enforced.

Just look at the recent vote on the second amendment to the Constitution. Any idiot can read that it forbids the disarming of the people. Yet four of nine Supreme Court Judges did not see it that way. All of them were Liberals and these four always vote against any literal interpretation of our constitution. Elect a democrat to President and within a few years there will be at least five liberals on the Supreme Court. Then Katie bar the door. When Congress, the President and the Supreme court subvert the original intent of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights Conservative Christian people will either become censored and oppressed, become criminals, or their will be enough of them in certain states to vote that their state secede from the Union.

That is how close this nation is to the brink and if you want to insure that the criminalization of biblical Christianity becomes a reality in the next five years go ahead and vote for Obama and all people who think like him.

‘Religion in private’ OK, declares ACLU

“Will SB200 be the end of it? No. Next, hate crime legislation must be passed so that it is illegal for me to write this letter (as it is now illegal in Canada); then enforced homosexual/transsexual indoctrination of our children in the public educational system; finally, all other alternative forms of education must be outlawed. Impossible, you say? It’s already happened in California,” he said. “As I’m being forced into this ’shotgun wedding’ with the radical homosexual agenda, I hope it’s not too late to ’speak now, or forever hold my peace.’ What is it called when you are forced, against your will, to participate in a sexual lifestyle that you find objectionable? I believe that is called ‘rape.’ My state legislature has ‘violated’ me and charged me with the crime.”

Tom Minnery, the senior vice president of government and public policy for Focus, told the Denver Post there are “multiple problems” with the plan, “but the problem of restrooms is the most breathtaking one. … With SB200, however, we no longer have two ’sexes,’ we enter a brave new world with a myriad of ’sexual orientations’ that must not be discriminated against, upon pain of the substantial civil and criminal penalties contained in the bill.

“Woe to the first women’s fitness facility or mall owner who objects to a man dressed as a woman who wants to enter previously forbidden territory. And what an opportunity for sexual predators,” he wrote.

He said every Christian, Jewish or Muslim business owner now is under a threat.

“We’ve seen … charges brought by homosexuals against a video reproduction business in Virginia, a medical clinic in California, an adoption service in Arizona and a church in New Jersey,” he continued. “Colorado tops them all on the potential outrage meter, however, because in addition to civil fines and penalties, small-business owners can be prosecuted under the criminal laws of Colorado and spend up to one year in jail for trying to live according to their faith.”

There are other groups preparing for full-scale war in Colorado.

“American RTL [Right to Life] Action is a political 527 group headquartered a half-block from the Colorado capitol, and we’re not going to hire someone cohabitating outside of marriage, let alone a homosexual,” said Steve Curtis, the group’s president and former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. “SB200 also makes it a crime for us to publish biblical teaching on immorality, so we are prepared to violate this anti-Christian government censorship. The liberals always said what homosexuals do in private could never affect anyone else; of course that was always a lie; they’re trying to criminalize traditional Christianity. The fight is on.”

I of course do not know if Obama actually has faith in idols or if he carries them around but just the fact that a “Christian” would accept an idol tells me that he could not be a believer. Why would foreigners even believe this? Obviously they do not believe that Obama is a Christian either. At least not in the sense that Jesus is the only way to God. Lets be clear about one thing Obama clearly said that he thinks there are other paths to God besides Christianity. That should tell any real Christian that Obama is just a great pretender.

Obama to get Hanuman idol-India-The Times of India

The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms.

An hour-long prayer meeting to sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple’s priests.

“Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him,” said Bhama.

Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, who is chairperson of Democrats Abroad-India, said, “Obama has extended his thanks for the support.”

I do not think Obama actually knows the distinctions between the Old Testament codes and the New Covenant reality. Any Christian that knows the beliefs of Obama should know that he is not truly a Christian. How could a Black liberation theology social gospel “Christian” understand that the Church is not under the laws of the Old Testament? He just throws the whole Bible together not understanding the distictions between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant and then he uses staw-man arguments when real Christians have no such concepts as he suggests.

For him to ask which Christianity is true James Dobson’s or Al Sharpton’s says wonders and is a no brainer? It distinctly shows Obama’s total ignorance of Christian issues. James Dobson’s believes mans’s salvation comes by Grace through faith and his authority is the scriptures. While Al Sharpton’s Christianity is based on social activism that saves no one. One teaches new Testament Christianity and the other teaches secular socalism and race baiting.

Once again why would Obama know this. He is not a Christian and any Christian deluding theirself because they want a “yes we can” man and “change” artist need to examine themselves to find out if they are in the faith. If elected, Obama will do everything he can to make all believe that there are many paths to God even if he has to do it through hate speech laws.

McCain is not much beter. I am still waiting for anyone that can be endorced by Bible believers. Be it third party or whatever.

Dobson: Obama ‘Distorting’ Bible, Pushing ‘Fruitcake Interpretation’ of Constitution - America’s Election HQ

“Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?” Obama said. “Would we go with James Dobson’s or Al Sharpton’s?” referring to the civil rights leader.

Dobson took aim at examples Obama cited in asking which Biblical passages should guide public policy - chapters like Leviticus, which Obama said suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination, or Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application.”

“Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles,” Obama said.

Dobson and Minnery accused Obama of wrongly equating Old Testament texts and dietary codes that no longer apply to Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament.

“I think he’s deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology,” Dobson said.

“… He is dragging biblical understanding through the gutter.”

Dobson reserved some of his harshest criticism for Obama’s argument that the religiously motivated must frame debates over issues like abortion not just in their own religion’s terms but in arguments accessible to all people.

He said Obama, who supports abortion rights, is trying to govern by the “lowest common denominator of morality,” labeling it “a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution.”

“Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies?” Dobson said. “What he’s trying to say here is unless everybody agrees, we have no right to fight for what we believe.”

The article makes the case that America is post Conservative and post Christian. Even the Republican party that most Conservative and Evangelical Christians have supported in he past have gone Liberal and conservatives are now the minority and are marginalized by the party. The fact that there are few true conservatives to oppose the liberals or to start a third party movement makes it clear that the American society has drunk the leftist socialist globalist Kool-aid.

AD: ‘A Conservative Society?’ - David Tatosian - Jun 15, 08

There’s no shortage of pundits, commentators and scribblers who’ve convinced themselves that the United States is a conservative society

For example, according to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life Survey conducted this year, 78.4% of Americans (approximately 220 million people) are Christians. Yet our Christian heritage, a tradition worth conserving because Christianity has been a guiding principle since the Declaration of Independence, has all but disappeared from the public eye. That is to say that conservatism, in what some consider a conservative society, could not prevent the beliefs and traditions of some 220 million Americans, a clear majority, from being vilified and cast from the public realm.

American traditions (which conservatives champion) such as individual rights, equal justice before the law and equal opportunity, rights which I believe rest upon the Christian ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” philosophy, now take a back seat to rights, justice and opportunities based on skin color, gender, sexual preference and ethnicity. Not to mention the right to proselytize for any religion other than Christianity.

How can one claim to live in a conservative society when the principles and traditions upon which that conservatism is based have little or no influence in the governance of that society, the education of it’s citizens or the portrayal of that society by the various media?

Certainly there are tens of millions of conservatives in this nation. But they are essentially a faction without a voice and without real representation. Their dependence on and support for the Republican Party, a party that has become increasingly liberal and therefore hostile to them, has been their undoing.

America might listen to JB Williams but it won’t because it seems that the amoral majority are now the problem for the moral minority. I just read that half of the U.S. supports the homosexual agenda and we know that over half support abortion. That should say wonders about the people who live here. It is also obvious that half of the people are now living off the other half to a large degree.

So the land of the free and home of the brave is now about dead and gone. It will be replaced by the land of the socialist fascist enslaved and the home of amoral sissies. This amoral majority will prove what I said by electing a amoral Marxist to be President in the next election. They also proved my point by voting in a socialist House and Senate two years ago.

America is finish unless God decides to correct our nation through judgment. I guarantee you won’t like that and I am not sure it will even get the attention of the great Christian pretenders in this nation.

AD: Democrats and Their Democracy: The End of a Free Republic - JB Williams - Jun 11, 08

Karl Marx was right. “Democracy is the road to socialism” - in a nation hell-bent upon voting itself gifts from the public trough. Once an electorate is hooked on government solutions to personal self-induced problems, like a junkie on crack, the democratic process once used to guarantee individual freedom is perverted into a tool used to extinguish individual freedom. Democrats call it a greater good. The rest of the world calls it socialism.

It only took America 232 years to arrive at this moment…

It is in this way, that Thomas Jefferson was also right. “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”

the entire Democrat political platform is built upon the notion that “fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine” - in the name of a greater good, of course.

The 50% who no longer pay taxes in America (most of them Democrats) have the right to strip the other 50% of Americans (most of them Republicans) of their lawful earnings for the betterment of a communal good. Only government has the right to determine each individuals worth. Even McCain and other Republicans have fallen for this line of thinking.

Winston Churchill said it well; “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” How can a nation survive leadership by people who often can’t manage their own lives?

What do we have when those who depend upon government for their very existence outnumber those who pick up the government tab? Because, that’s where we are in America circa 2008.

Democrats seek dominion over the lives of others. They seek the power to decide the worth of individuals. They seek the power to “free” some by “enslaving” others. In the end, modern Democrats will enslave both. They seek the power of life and death over the most innocent and defenseless American citizens.

Just as the debtor is enslaved to the lender, the welfare recipient is enslaved to his caretaker. Government dependents vote for Democrats because they must. Democrats promise to keep them enslaved by keeping the bread crumbs of life flowing.

Jefferson said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”- “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Father Alphonse de Valk is one of the small minority of religious leaders that is speaking the truth about the fascist takeover in Canada and he is now being persecuted for it. Fascism is socialist state control over everything. It is obvious that Canada is now run by secular godless socialists. But it is also coming to the U.S. from the Left and it has already arrived in much of Europe. Not to mention the Chinese, Islamic and Russia fascism. Hitler and Stalin would be so proud of the world today.

Priest warns fascism has arrived in schools

In a column at Catholic Insight, de Valk writes under the headline “Fascism has come to Canada” that the Department of Education in British Columbia plans in September to “introduce the mandatory teaching of SSM [same-sex marriage] from kindergarten to grade 12 in provincial schools.

“It is a first for a province in Canada to claim the right to determine moral teaching in schools when the vast majority of its citizens reject it as unscientific and contrary to the common good,” he wrote.

“So we move from [former Prime Minister Pierre] Trudeau’s 1967 slogan ‘there is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation’ – falsely used to destroy traditional morality – to the new slogan that the state will determine people’s moral thinking.”

Further, he said, the Quebec Department of Education also intends, as of September, “to replace Christian Ethics in its schools with a secular mish-mash invented by its staff in which Judeo-Christianity is trivialized as only one religion among many.”

He said the “suppression” is called “normative pluralism.”

“Under this title the state dismisses parental rights and the formative role of Christian culture, and replaces it with secular sociology. Again, then, the temporal authority, the state, dismissed the spiritual authority and usurps its role. In history this is called ’statism,’ better known as fascism,” de Valk wrote.

“Some people may think that use of the term ‘fascism’ must be an exaggeration,” de Valk wrote. “Surely, Canada is not that far down the political slippery slope! But remember, fascism is little more than the political notion that the state – through its various organs – is the final authority in all things human.

“Several years ago, Canada’s chief justice claimed that she and the Supreme Court now take the place formerly allotted to the church. Today, some provincial departments of education as well as human rights commissions believe that they, too, share this authority,” he wrote.

People are already being charged with hate crimes in Canada and Europe for just expressing their Christian beliefs and what the Bible says. In the next administration in the U.S. you can be sure they will pass similar hate crimes legislation here. You also can be sure that there will be many pervert groups and Islamic groups on witch hunts to find people to target under the new laws. Then many “Christians” in this nation can be so proud that they did nothing and ignorantly voted for politicians who will nullify the Bill of Rights.

Canada and Europe already have bureaucratic tribunals to prosecute Christian speech and it will soon be coming here thanks to many of you.

Priest investigated for quoting Bible

A priest is being investigated as a potential criminal under a federal “hate crimes” law for quoting from the Bible, and he’s being targeted using a Canadian provision under which no defendant ever has been acquitted, according to a new report.

Pete Vere, a canon lawyer and Catholic journalist, has reported on the prosecution of Father Alphonse de Valk, a pro-life activist known across Canada, by the Canadian Human Rights Commission – “a quasi-judicial investigative body with the power of the Canadian government behind it” – at CatholicExchange.com.

“What was Father de Valk’s alleged ‘hate act’?” Vere wrote.

“Father defended the [Catholic] Church’s teaching on marriage during Canada’s same-sex ‘marriage’ debate, quoting extensively from the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Pope John Paul II’s encyclicals. Each of these documents contains official Catholic teaching. And like millions of other people throughout the world and the ages – many of whom are non-Catholics and non-Christians — Father believes that marriage is an exclusive union between a man and a woman,” he wrote.

The new case comes just as columnist and author Mark Steyn, and Maclean’s magazine which published an excerpt from his “America Alone” book, are on trial before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal for similar “offenses.”

I think this article and many other articles that I have read makes it abundantly clear that Obama is a racist and a Marxist. You do not join with a racist church for 20 years if you do not agree with its core teachings, or marry a wife that agrees with its core teachings, or make friends and mentors out of those who agree with its core teachings.

Even on resigning from the church due to political pressure all Obama could say was good words about the pastor who invited the speaker that forced him to resign (and was also one of Obama’s mentors). Even Obama’s voting record makes him left of Karl Marx. That a man like this could be nominated to be President by a major party is just beyond belief. And we have not even got into his lack of qualifications for the job. I guess saying “yes we can” solves everything in some peoples mind. Forget about rational thought! The support Obama is getting proves that the Democratic party has been hijacked by the Far Left.

All this shows to me how dumbed down America has become. People vote for Democrats for very stupid reasons. They think Democrats are still for the poor and working class. No, they are the class of rich elite socialists that want a two class system of themselves ruling you slave peons. Go to any socialist nation and you will see this in play.

The democrats have had control over congress for most of modern times. They are the ones that shipped your good paying jobs overseas and are selling us out to world globalism. They are the party of big government and big taxes to support a permanent government supported underclass that is totally dependent on government and reelect their oppressors.

Others just vote Democrat because there parents did or because their race does. Do you people not have a mind of your own? The Democrats have changed radically since the days that your parents voted for them because they were the party of the working man.

We fought against communism for most of the 20th century but now the “better red than dead” crowd have gained power thanks to a socialist educational system and media. Now the “better red than dead” people should change their slogan to “better spiritually dead, red and perverted”

Much of America just says, Lets not offend these perverted people with our own moral beliefs. That would not be Christian. We need to be tolerant and love these people. While the perverts they are loving are perverting the mind of their children and sending them to hell. Most churches might just start an adopt a demon club because that is exactly what all this tolerance of sin is leading to.

Well kids, I have news for you. If Obama and his crowd gain control of the U.S. Your going to soon think that you have moved to Cuba. You have about four months left to gather any part of your mind that has not been brainwashed before you make your fatal mistake. Frankly, if America becomes Obamaland I will be looking for a Mayflower or a new union of states because Christian freedoms and the bill of rights in Obamaland will cease to exist.

Don’t say you were not warned!

OBAMA’S CHURCH DEPARTURE: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE - CWN

Combining “Black Liberation Theology” with “Kingdom Now Theology” produces one very spiritually mixed-up presidential candidate. Christians who insist that Barack Obama is a committed Christian need a reality check. Neither his former pastor nor Trinity Church is biblically sound. To be frank, they are f
