I am sending next week's email out today because there are two important events that you may not be aware of being videod on the internet on Saturday the 16th.
McCain vs Obama at Civic Forum at Saddleback Church
Big Saturday coming up tomorrow. Online broadcasts of McCain and Obama at a Civil Forum on The Presidency and The Call.-You can play video advertising The Call event which I emailed on in an earlier post at The Recent 2nd Amendment Gun Law Decision (Obama vs McCain) and the testimony of the Roe of Roe vs Wade and The Call to Repent America. The Civic Forum with McCain and Obama will be a "historic forum...the only joint event for the two, and the last public appearance for either candidate prior to the two-week hiatus during each party’s national convention"
Also, on that blog is a report of another one of the top "20 events most crucial in determining the next president" the Values Voter Summit on September 12-14. Check it out for more information.
Also, an interesting note conerning Independent Joseph Lieberman comments concerning McCain and Obama as far as their ability to unite Dems and Reps and work in a by partisan way. The media plays off Obama as being that uniter of the parties when historically and comparing voter records McCain is far more in the middle than Obama on many more issues then Obama is. According to Independent Lieberman anyways.
Also, on the blog are reports of some evangelical and catholic leaders promoting a vote for Obama because of new stance on abortion at the Democrat National Convention Party Platform. As if this makes Obama pro-life in any sense of the normal understanding of what it means to be pro-life. If it is true that these religious leaders are saying what some claim they are saying then it is clear that these religious leaders are bearing false witness in the name of politics and at the expense of lives of millions of unborn (so you have another violation of the ten commandments being committed by these religious advisers). McCain on this issue, when people aren't confused on the subject by religious leaders of the above likes, wins hands down vs Obama (see Media's no emphasis of abortion as an issue hurting McCain and helping Obama/Obama on Fatherhood/The Physiology of Motherhood/Bush vs Clinton ). I have yet to give my vote to McCain as I am holding out to see who his VP will be but this issue is one of the main reasons why I am willing vote for McCain.
9 Religious Freedom victories!!!
Seven 1st Amendment court victories!!! And two victories for religious freedom handled out of court this past 2 weeks or so see Testimony of Obama Democrat Presidential Nominee for 1 court victory and one out of court victory and see Washington Post Demonizes Conservatives, guess what the media completely missed once again and seven 1st Amendment Supreme Court Victories!!! for the other seven court victories. Notice that one of these cases was vs. the ACLU of Ohio and check this out: "The ACLU charged that Judge DeWeese's display of the poster – which graphically compares and contrasts the Ten Commandments with Seven Humanist Principles – violated a 2002 injunction barring him from displaying a poster consisting solely of the Ten Commandments under the caption “Rule of Law.”...But U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen O'Malley, the same judge who issued the 2002 injunction, disagreed." So the same judge that issued the injunction was the judge ruling on this case and the ACLU lost and check what that judge said in her ruling that the ACLU suit was "misplace". Here is an excellent video report and the poster that got the Judge in trouble here. Wow!!!!
The White House complains of Media Bias and has video to prove it
Ever wonder why the Republican party is more scandalous then the Democrat party? And The White House vs NBC with the video to prove it.-"New York Times fails to mention Democrat Party in story of Racism and Anti-Semitism...ABC, CBS and NBC fails to mention party affiliation when it comes to nasty Democrats but always for nasty Republicans." And in case you saw this interview with no apology from NBC in its edited biased version check out this letter from the White House to NBC: "This e-mail is to formally request that NBC Nightly News and The Today Show air for their viewers President Bush's actual answer to correspondent Richard Engel's question about Iran policy and "appeasement," rather than the deceptively edited version of the President's answer that was aired last night on the Nightly News and this morning on The Today Show....To View The Edited Version Of NBC News' Interview, Click Here To View The Full Interview Of The President, Click Here""
Media Bias Bigger Problem then Campaign cash!!!???
What can be more concerning then campaign financing?-That which is the continual finding in poll after poll. Rasmussen: '55% Say Media Bias Bigger Problem than Campaign Cash'
55% Say Media Bias Bigger Problem Than Campaign Cash-Here is actual report on Rasmussen.com and note these comments: "Voters overwhelmingly believe that politicians will “break the rules to help people who give them a lot of money,” but most say there’s a bigger problem in politics today—media bias." Despite the fact that, "People believe media bias is a bigger problem even though 63% believe most politicians will break the rules to help campaign contributors. Just 14% believe most politicians would refrain from breaking the rules for a donor." And check this out: "Just 22% believe it would be a good idea to ban all campaign commercials so that voters could receive information on the campaign only from the news media and the internet. Sixty-six percent (66%) disagree and think that, despite the annoyance factor, it’s better to put up with an election-year barrage of advertising rather than rely on the news media." and lastly, "An earlier survey found that 49% believe most reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the election this year. Just 14% believe they’re trying to help McCain. Another survey found that the news you watch says a lot about how you will vote." And guess who complained the most about media bias, "Not surprisingly, Republicans are the most likely to see media bias as the bigger problem. Eighty-one percent (81%) of the GOP faithful hold that view. Democrats and unaffiliated voters are more evenly divided. Obama’s Party, by a narrow 50% to 41% margin, say that campaign cash is the bigger issue. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 47% say media bias is the problem while 43% hold the opposite view. Fifty-three percent (53%) of liberals see campaign contributions as a bigger problem than media bias. Seventy-four percent (74%) of conservatives hold the opposite view. Among the moderates, 49% say media bias is the problem while 42% disagree." Very interesting findings. And the democrats want to make the media more bias by installing the Fairness Doctrine. See below
FCC Commissioner: Return of Fairness Doctrine Could Control Web Content-Is it not interesting that though the American people continue to complain in poll after poll about media bias Nancy Pelosi is more concerned about talk radio. How about a Fairness Doctrine on NBC, ABC, PBS and CBS in issue selection!!!!!???? I believe the reason why internet, cable and talk radio do so well is because people feel they can get information on issues that is largely missing on the networks like the issues of religious freedom (plesae note above), marriage laws, academic freedom, abortion issues, and traditional family values. I know this to be true for me. All I notice on ABC, CBS, PBS and NBC is candy stories of documentaries that include christians but without the meat of issues like abortion, religious freedoms, and all the above etc etc. In other words on issues that effect voters the stories that would favour a conservative religious point of view are not aired but so long as the story is on an issue that has nothing to do with politics they will air it!!!! This in no way satisfies me when it comes to media bias in the context of political media bias!!!
Pro-Life Issues and Salvation call for most all of us
APA Claims Abortion Doesn't Affect Mental Health of Women-"Life advocates say the needs of millions of women are not addressed in this report. After two years of study, a panel of the American Psychological Association (APA) concluded today that having one abortion does not cause significant mental-health problems for women. Priscilla Coleman, a researcher at Bowling Green State University, came to a different conclusion in her studies. She found that between 10 percent and 20 percent of women who have abortions experience prolonged mental-health problems. "We're not doing women any favors by hiding this," she told the Wall Street Journal. Carrie Gordon Earll, senior bioethics analyst at Focus on the Family Action, said the APA buried the real news. “The report basically admits that if you’ve had multiple abortions, your risk for mental-health problems may be greater," she said. ”If you've been pressured or coerced into an abortion, you may have an even more negative experience." Sixty percent of abortions are either repeat abortions or those in which the women are pressured to have one. "That’s millions of women whose needs and psychological problems are not represented in this report," Earll said. "The APA is spinning the results to their desired political conclusion, which is that they want to keep abortion legal and promoted in the culture.” The report also found that many of the more than 150 studies it reviewed had major flaws, and it called for better-designed studies.

New Web Site Clearinghouse Features Info on Abortion's Risks, Complications-"An organization that is one of the leading research institutions on the physical, medical and mental health problems women face after abortion has launched a new web site to serve as a clearinghouse for post-abortion information. The Elliot Institute has launched AbortionRisks.org, to keep track of problems. The web site will not only provide a wealth of information on post-abortion complications, but will allow women who have experienced problems a chance to share those. AbortionRisks.org is a Web 2.0 site designed to allow anyone in the world to find or contribute information. Using the same software platform that underlies popular web sites like Wikipedia, AbortionRisks.org allows registered users to add their own information and pages to the site, as well as to edit information that is already there. The site will include sections for post-abortion ministries to add information about their work and provides space for women and men who have been involved in an abortion to post their stories. The web site will also house the Thomas W. Strahan Memorial Library, an extensive bibliography of published studies, books, and articles on the aftereffects of abortion. Tom Strahan was a lawyer and civil rights activist widely considered to the one of the world's foremost authorities on abortion and how it damages women. His bibliography was published in the form of a book, Detrimental Effects of Abortion, which is now a featured section of AbortionRisks.org and is available for reference by visitors and for updating by the contributing editors of the new web site. In a statement the Elliot Institute sent LifeNews.com, the organization called on pro-life advocates to help as volunteer editors to help improve site organization and monitor it for abuse form abortion advocates. Anyone interested in helping build and maintain the site can go to www.AbortionRisks.org to create a free account."
What does premarital sex, pollution, birth and population control have to do with abortion?
New York City Has Extremely High Abortion Rate Despite Free Birth Control-"If there is any place in the nation women can get free or low-cost birth control, it's New York City. But a new report indicates the abortion rate in the nation's largest city is three times higher than the national average despite the easy access to birth control and contraception. While a survey from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a part of Planned Parenthood, shows fewer than 20 percent of all pregnancies nationwide end in abortion, 72 pregnancies end in abortion in New York for every 100 births. More than 250 abortions are done every day in New York City at more than 200 locations, including abortion businesses and private doctor's offices. New figures reported in the Crain's business journal show 90,157 were done in New York in 2006 -- which the business journal admitted showed "women are using abortion as their birth control method of choice."...Amazingly, Deborah Kaplan, deputy commissioner of the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, told the business journal that the answer to the problem is more access to birth control. “To me, the problem is access," she said. “If we improved access to contraceptives, there would be a reduction in abortion." Meanwhile, the taxpayer-funding of abortions on both the state and city level is draining tax dollars that could be used for education, police or other services. Abortions cost the state of New York $16 million in Medicaid dollars every year and city taxpayers pay even more through the New York policy that provides free abortions to poor women at public facilities...The Crain's report also indicates that New York's high abortion numbers have changed in that they no longer show women from across the northeast going there for abortions. Now, 93 percent of the abortions done in New York City are on local residents."-See New York Health Department admits abstinece is best and condomns even if used "correctly and consistently" only "help reduce the chance of infection".
Forget Marriage: Adultery and Promiscuity Rule the Airwaves-"New study shows broadcast television promotes sex in every relationship except marriage....Prime time television is positively full of sex, as long as it is outside the context of marriage. That is the primary finding of a new report from the Parents Television Council (PTC). The report, “Happily Never After: How Hollywood Favors Adultery and Promiscuity over Marital Intimacy on Prime Time Broadcast Television” documents that when it comes to sex, broadcast networks are marginalizing marriage while glorifying non-marital intimacy. Further, behaviors that were once taboo-for-TV are now found all across the broadcast networks and often during the Family Hour, when more children are in the viewing audience. PTC analysts reviewed 207.5 hours of prime time broadcast programming on five networks during a four-week period in the fall of 2007. The analysis found that verbal references to non-marital sex outnumbered references to sex in the context of marriage by nearly 3 to 1, and scenes depicting or implying sex between non-married partners outnumbered similar scenes between married couples by a ratio of nearly 4 to 1....There are many disturbing findings in the report, but two that stand out are:
· The Family Hour (8:00 – 9:00 p.m. at which time more children are in the viewing audience) contained the highest frequency of references to non-married sex. Family Hour references to non-marital sex outnumbered references to sex in marriage by a ratio of 3.9 to 1. During the 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm hours, the references to non-marital versus marital sex averaged 2.5 to 1.
· Most programs either lacked or had inadequate content descriptors, which are intended to alert parents to inappropriate content and work in conjunction with the V-Chip to block content that parents may find unsuitable for their children. For example, on ABC, 38 percent of programs airing during the Family Hour that contained sexual content did not receive the “S” descriptor and during the 9:00 pm hour, 71 percent of programs containing sexual dialogue did not carry a “D” descriptor. Every network had problems with the consistent application of “S” and/or “D” descriptors during every time slot.
The full report (click here) also contains important information about media influence on the behavior of children. Among the most interesting references:
· As far back as 1996 children have reported that the media encourage them to have sex.
· 89 percent of American parents believe the media contribute to children engaging in sexual activity at earlier ages.
· A 2006 study by the University of North Carolina shows a link between sexually-charged media and earlier sexual activity among teens.
· Researchers have found that teens exposed to high levels of sex in the media are likely to become sexually active earlier in life and were 2.2 times more likely to have had intercourse between the ages of 14 and 16.
· There is a positive correlation between early sexual activity and depression and attempted suicide."-Media like this can only help increase the rise in teen pregnancy and thus the rise in abortions. Unbiblical values have civil and social consequences. Ask yourself does this kind of media help reduce or increase abortion rates? If it does help to increase even by not helping to decrease abortion rates then are we not as a viewing audience somewhat responsible for the women and babies hurt by such ungodly media when we support it!!! God help us all on the day of judgment. I see know way of getting around our own disobedience to God. If Jesus said that to look with lust after a women is adultery in the heart then why are we supporting such sinfulness on our TV and DVD players. Jesus has good reason why we should not do what He doesn't want us to do. If population is indeed a problem may it be that the root of the problem is disobedience to Christ and never add sin to sin by population control methods like abortion. If we want less pollution in the air and less pollution in our waters and less this or that that some believe is a consequence of to many humans in the world then should we not control the population in a Godly humane and civil sort of way. We must repent at this most basic level to save our own souls and the physical lives of millions more. Sinful sexual appetites will only produce more sinful sexual appetites which will only lead to more of what we have today in the world. Why don't we instead of inforcing a right for a woman to end a human life on that unborn life instead inforce a more civil and humane law like forbidding premarital sex and thus discourage and frown upon a hollywood that encourages such behavior which in turn encourages over population and mass murdering of unborn children!!! This may sound radical but at least one of the two laws has a civil morale to it and may actually do society a whole lot of good in a more self-controlled humane and civil sort of way!!!!
I did want to say that I am as guilty as anyone else on this issue so I am not coming to anybody without some fingers pointing back at me that is one of the many reasons why I am trusting Christ to save me on the day of judgment. I don't want to be found without His cleansing sacrifice of love on the cross for me before God. There are probabily ample more consequences to my sins then I have yet to discover and all at root because of my unwillingness to have a little faith and take God at His Word and act accordingly.-God says in His Word, "...a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."-Matthew 17:5. May we all hear Him with a little more faith!!!
NBC Drops the Ball on Teen Sex-"The followup special for The Baby Borrowers fails to tackle tough subjects in discussions of teen sexuality and pregnancy....NBC first dropped the ball in a discussion of abstinence. One of the biggest criticisms of the The Baby Borrowers was that it sent a mixed message. On one hand, it claimed to show teens how difficult parenting is, but on the other hand it essentially condoned premarital sex by allowing the unsupervised teen couples to share beds during the series. Kotb confirmed that none of the teen couples minded being shown sleeping together on national television, before asking abstinence educator Mark Tatum what “the big deal” was. She then failed to allow the one couple, Sasha and Jordan, who insisted they were abstinent, to explain how they came to the decision to refrain from sex. The general take-away was that abstinence is not feasible for teenagers."
Planned Parenthood at it again with another grotesque Jesus, Women and Baby defying web site
An Unplanned Education-"Planned Parenthood took me “Down There” and exposed it all. The self-evident wrongheadedness of their thinking, that is. A new campaign waged by the abortion provider is as crass as its name suggests. But it is more than that. It is an expose — in that most pithy and au courant of forms, web video — of why we get nowhere in America when we talk about sex education. The “Take Care Down There” campaign takes shape in web videos of young people talking about threesomes and sexually transmitted diseases, because that’s all kids could ever talk about, right?...A creepy older man suddenly enters the picture and dispenses advice — say, how to use a condom — to the eager teens, sparing no one’s delicacy in the process. Check out Planned Parenthood’s Teenwire web magazine and you’ll have everything you forgot to think about before you embarked on that summer abroad: “Condoms, dental dams, and lube…Even if you think you won't need any of these items, they may come in handy for a friend.” What would you do on vacation, after all, without dental dams?!"-Your tax dollar at work supporting such web site by Planned Parenthood (see more on a previous email at 3 great new movies Expelled (Ben Stein)..).
Check out http://www.valuesvoternews.com/ this next week. Some breaking news on Obama and the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Actual documented records of votes to be available for download and viewing when Obama would not allow the Protection Act to be brought to the floor even with the now documented amendment which will be available to view that proves Obama's reason for not voting yes on this bill is in question or at least you can be the judge of that rather then the media or Obama. Not only did he stop the bill cold in committee but so did 5 other democrats. Also, 5 minute interview with the actual nurse that testified before Obama and Congress that brought awareness to this atrocity all providentially originiated in the state where Obama's political career began and hopefully ends unless prayed for change occurs. And there will be much more for context and such also, how the media is handling these new documents and so forth.
