Update on Fireproof and Expelled and Come What May

Good News: Fireproof Passes $20 Million Mark-"Fireproof, which cost less than $1 million to make, passed the $20 million mark at the box office this weekend. Titanic, the highest-grossing movie of all time, cost $200 million to make and brought in a threefold return.
The pro-marriage Fireproof is the third feature film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Ga.

Good News: Expelled Available on DVD Today-"Ben Stein's documentary, Expelled, which chronicles the censorship of teachers, professors and students who question the theory of Darwinian evolution, is available on DVD today. The film earned more than $7 million in theaters.
Stein said he hopes the DVD will continue to open up the debate of freedom of speech and freedom of education in the U.S.
“Scientists are supposed to be allowed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead, no matter what the implications are," he said in a statement. "Freedom of inquiry has been greatly compromised, and this is not only anti-science, it’s anti-American.”

Check out this online movie.-"Watch online. This movie is produced in association with Patrick Henry College!!! "Advent Film Group (AFG) produced the movie in association with Patrick Henry College, a true-to-life powerhouse in collegiate debate and moot court competition. PHC, founded eight years ago, enrolling only 300 students, has won the Moot Court National Championship twice and has beaten Oxford in England and again in Richmond, VA. The movie's legal argument is solid." Also, in this blog are reports of two other very successful christian law schools.

Home schoolers take on Roe v Wade-"A new movie is out, combining the talents of home schoolers and a Christian production company, depicting a legal challenge to Roe v. Wade.

Same Sex Marriage/Hollywood and more

http://www.thetruthaboutmarriage.org/- An excellent 30 minute online free video presentation and pdf booklet to review. Here is video link at http://www.thetruthaboutmarriage.org/video.

From an email update from www.protectmarriage.com-"Gay activists held a fundraiser on Tuesday night at billionaire liberal Ron Burkle’s mansion in Beverly Hills where they raised an astonishing $3.9 million. Even as guests were being entertained by Barbra Streisand, Melissa Etheridge and Mary J. Blige, No on 8 operatives were busy launching a sneak attack on the institution of marriage. They began dumping $3 million into television commercials this week alone. That is on top of the nearly $4 million in air time they already had purchased for this week, meaning they are spending an unbelievable $7 million on air time this week alone!"

McCain/Palin vs Obama/Biden/George Lucas/Ellen DeGeneres/Melissa Ethridge/Mary Blige/Hollywood on same sex marriage.-"A city ordinance prohibits placing political signs on private property unless the property owner gets a permit and pays a $250 deposit. Under the ordinance, the city threatened homeowners with fines of $25 a day if they did not remove their pro-Proposition 8 signs. The city also threatened Calvary Chapel Chino Hills with a $250 fine if they did not stop distributing the signs. ADF attorneys sent a letter to Mayor Curt Hagman Oct. 15 regarding the unconstitutionality of the ordinance (www.telladf.org/UserDocs/ChinoHillsLetter.pdf). The city attorney responded Friday with assurances that the sign law would not be enforced against the homeowners or the church (www.telladf.org/UserDocs/ChinoHillsResponse.pdf)"

Who is doing the smearing over the issue of Same Sex Marriage in Cali?-First on this blog, "A poll Big Media doesn't want you to know about. Notice this has been a consistent complaint for awhile but just is more plain this year then ever before....Pew noted how "in recent presidential campaigns, voters repeatedly have said they thought journalists favored the Democratic candidate over the Republican," but "this year's margin is particularly wide." and "A study by Nielsen Media Research shows that the Big Three network news programs experienced a sharp drop in viewers last week during the height of the presidential campaign."

But concerning the smearing: "These damning public records show that it is in fact the organizations leading and financing the No on 8 campaign who are lying to California voters"..."In the greatest irony, of course, just two days after the No on 8 “Lies” television commercial began airing, a first grade public school class in San Francisco was taken on a field trip to a lesbian wedding at City Hall, officiated by Mayor Gavin Newsom. School officials said they wished to provide their five and six year old students a “teachable moment"

Pro-Life News

Jill Stanek and Hannity report on what Big Media won't. The biggest smear this election is the lack of reporting smear on the unborn by Big Media!!-Many reports "From JillStanek.com (Jill Stanek the christian nurse who testified before Obama pleading for protection of infants born alive after a failed abortion.)" and also a great 10 or so minute segment on Obama from Hannity concerning his relationship with pro-abortion groups!!!

From JillStanek.com and BornAliveTruth.org-More from Jill Stanek "Check out what Obama actually said concerning issues that related to this bill to get a flavor of Obama's say so at the time in which this protection for born alive infants was introduced at spoke against the bill on page 85 in 2001 then again on page 31 at spoke against the bill (these are the actual government documents and recordings of what was said at this time in Illinois)."

Obama's Abortion Extremism-"Sen. Barack Obama's views on life issues ranging from abortion to embryonic stem cell research mark him as not merely a pro-choice politician, but rather as the most extreme pro-abortion candidate to have ever run on a major party ticket.Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress. Yet there are Catholics and Evangelicals-even self-identified pro-life Catholics and Evangelicals - who aggressively promote Obama's candidacy and even declare him the preferred candidate from the pro-life point of view.What is going on here?..."-A must view article!!!! If you know of anyone compromising with Obama on the issue of abortion this may be a good article to refer to along with this one Little Murders-"Can a Catholic Support Him? Asking the Big Question about Barack Obama"-Another good article for those concerned about this issue!!!"

What would Martin Luther King say about Pastor Wright from a former producer of CBS News!!!-New York Times and Washington Post coverage of Iraq down...Big Media Double Standard in reporting sex scandals...Contrast two conventions and Pastor Wright speeches..."Denver was host to another historic convention back in 1956. That year, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a sermon at the National Baptist Convention there which, according to eyewitness accounts, gripped the crowd of thousands. The sermon was called "Paul's Letter to American Christians,..."So I would urge each of you to plead patiently with your brothers, and tell them this isn't the way. With understanding goodwill, you are obligated to seek to change their attitudes....Always be sure that you struggle with Christian methods and Christian weapons. Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter....Martin Luther King stood up for blacks, fought against racism and segregation, and ultimately gave his life for those causes. He also preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, not a gospel of victimhood and hatred. I cannot say what he might think of Jeremiah Wright. But there is no denying what he preached. This is from one of King's sermons called "Rediscovering Lost Values"

Smearbusters.org caught smearing ValuesVoterNews.com and Smearbusters.org update and respectful disagreement. The posts speak for themselves. A great example of respectful disagreement between both sides on the issues. Smearbusters showed respectful disagreement by taking a post on ValuesVoterNews.com off their list of smears and ValuesVoterNews.com show respectful disagreement by reporting how quickly they changed the status of the post to "no smear" and by the positive email conversation that took place.

Did Bush/McCain-like policies or Obama-like policies get us into this Mortgage Mess. Two great announcements for tonight!!!-Much is on this post. Only once since 1856 has the party in the White House managed to retain the presidency when a presidential election occurred during a definable economic downturn..."

Iraq

"ABC's World News last presented a report from Iraq on September 16 -- 23 days ago -- as reporter Jonathan Karl covered the ceremony in which General David Petraeus handed his over his command over to General Ray Odierno. NBC Nightly News last carried a report from Iraq on September 7, more than a month ago. And the CBS Evening News hasn't broadcast a story from Iraq since July 31, 70 days ago."

Bill Ayers

Since Bill Ayers has been in the news much: "Check out this must see video from Indoctrinate U which is very telling. Get a historical context of Bill Ayers from this film that was produce before the elections and is a deleted scene from the movie Indoctrinate U and find out where these violent communist terrorist of the 60's and 70's are now at Deleted Scenes: Terrorist Professors." Whether or not you see a connection between Obama and Ayers feel free to make your decision but what is interesting is where these communist terrorists are now and why it is a ligitimate concern!!!!! Given the fact that Big Media has not taken any time to do any reporting on Obama's past years. Watch these 6 videos which are much more skeptical of Obama then Big Media to see a side of concern over Obama that many Americans are indeed concerned about especially since he is asking for the seat of president!!! It seems if one has only been in Congress for as long as Obama has it seems to be only fair to question his history and if the history is not reported on in Big Media or by the Obama Campaign then it is fair to question that history and to bring it to the attention of the American public as was done below and hope for a response to these concerns and let the American people decide who they are going to believe...

Check the words of an article from 1995 to begin to introduce ACORN and what Obama has to do with it.

Planting Seeds of DisasterACORN, Barack Obama, and the Democratic party -By Stanley Kurtz ‘You’ve got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank. Your job pays you dog-food wages. Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated. You declared bankruptcy in 1989. Don’t despair: You can still buy a house.” So began an April 1995 article in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective home-buyers fitting this profile to a group of far-left “community organizers” called ACORN, for assistance. In retrospect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness."-Now ask yourself who would have encouraged such recklessness. Democrats or Republicans. Obama like policies or Bush like policies. As McCain said, "Senator McCain said government-backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the "match that lit [the] fire." "I'll betcha you may never even heard of them before this crisis. But you know, they're the ones that with the encouragement of Senator Obama and his cronies and his friends in Washington that went out and made all these risky loans, gave them to people that couldn't never afford to pay back," said McCain."..."McCain continued that while he was pushing for legislation to stop greed and excess, Senator Obama was becoming the second largest recipient of political donations from Fannie and Freddie in history."

Well documented and factchecked. A must read!!!-An excellent argument against making clear the case that Obama policies would end most if not all the pro-life regulatory laws that have saved many lives of many an unborn thus reducing abortion without having to support Roe vs Wade.

Now out of the economic issues and concerns about the past of history of Obama

What Obama/Democrats and Big Media doesn't want you to hear: Palin making abortion an issue in a Big way in Pennsylvania!!!-Since Big Media gives free air-time for criticisms on McCain it requires grassroots efforts, quick 30 second ads and alot of money to air criticisms of Obama which Big Media conveniently dismiss as negative attack ads. Well check them out for yourself and check out the facts for yourself. On this post is a YouTube ad running CO, PA, MI and Washington DC bringing the issue of the unborn to the minds and homes of many Americans.

"And don't miss the one minute video ads running in Colorado at the bottom of this blog. Must see. One thing that we can thank the Lord for in His good providence is that because Obama is the candidate of Democrat choice the issue of abortion has risen to new levels like never before inspite of the issue of the economy. For the long run this election may be one of the best historical happenings in a long time for the sake of the unborn as the question as to when life begins have been raised again and again...."On Sept. 8, I debated opponents of Amendment 48 on KBDI-Channel 12. Fofi Mendez, who represented the "No on 48 campaign," was asked by the moderator when life begins. She answered, "Individually, we can all determine when life begins." In other words, each person decides. For Mendez, "life" includes being able to breathe and walk. This leaves out newborn babies and anyone in a wheelchair or on a respirator. Her response is simply a further expression of the confused, stale, outdated abortion politics that have dominated the last few decades.""

Read Palin's historic speech and why it is historically providential and a must read. There are links to watch the 30 minute speech in its entirety or to fast forward to her pro-life speech.

New ad for Prop 48 Personhood Amendment on Colorado state ballot-"There is just to much exposure coming out for the unborn this election I can't help but to post more then one today. Normally I post one large post a day but this election is just getting to much to make only a post a day without having to withhold such good ads like these from releasing immediately or without making a huge blog!!! See prior two blogs for today for 5 more ads from this same campaign issue. All of which are excellent!!! I may just have to revise the way I blog and maybe it will be better to post numerous smaller posts a day."

Palin/Stanek/Survivors of an Abortion/The Unborn vs Obama/Time Magazine/MSNBC/AP/Big Media. Big Media missing Farrakhan and Wright comments!!-Many more pro-life video clips from like a telling clip from Alan Keyes that ran against Obama when Obama was running for Senator. Also, a report on Big Media lack of reporting on Obama and his abortion voting record and comments. "TV reporters barely mentioned Obama’s pro-abortion stance during the primaries — from the launch of his candidacy in January 2007 through the end of the primaries in June 2008, just six out of 1,289 network evening news stories about Obama (0.46%) mentioned his position on abortion" and much more. Just scam thru the post yourself to see if anything worthy of passing on to others.

In case you missed these great internet audio updates here are the links!!!-A quick blog posting links to recent teleconferences on the Colorado Personhood Amendment and updates on the 40daysforlife campaign and check this out for irony... "Colorado is the first state to decriminalize abortion and now Colorado has the opportunity to be the first state to constitutionally recognize a person to be a person from conception!!!"

National Right to Life/Caring Outreach/The Unborn vs ABC Radio Network/ABC Chicago/Obama-"If you don't think Big Media is informing the American Public concerning where McCain and Obama stand on pro-life issues check this out. Howard Stern..."

YouTube video of a video that ABC has censored. See if you think that ad should have been censored yourself!!! And check out another ad that ABC is not being allowed to air in Chicago and see for yourself if it should be censored. Basically Big Media won't allow a public discussion on abortion till finally the third debate and now they censore legitimate pro-life ads!!!

"Try this on for size: ABC, CBS, and NBC together have unloaded more than a thousand stories on Obama’s presidential campaign, and we’re still waiting for the first broadcast network TV story devoted to examining Obama’s abortion record."

Both CBS and ABC air a story about a 106 year old catholic nun who is going to vote for Obama with no concern over the church teaching on abortion!!!! Dead silence on that side and that is a BIG issue for catholics!!! And then to top it off..."CBS has described Governor Sarah Palin’s views on abortion as “fierce” several times, but would never apply that adjective"

But in the media that favors "the least of these" it is reported that "Obama has already promised pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL that he will be their lap dog in the White House and these are the groups leading the effort to pass the bill." What bill is that???? "Pregnancy centers across the country that provide women with abortion alternatives could be shut down or face severe regulations if Barack Obama wins next month. That's because a bill targeting pregnancy centers could easily be approved in a pro-abortion Congress and land on Obama's desk."

And it is also, reported that: "With the election less than three weeks away, a pro-life women's group is targeting 1.3 million pro-life female voters in battleground states.“The future of women and their preborn children hangs in the balance with this election," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. The group will use mail, phone calls and radio spots to tell voters where candidates stand on abortion.“If the wrong people get elected to the United States Senate and to the White House, we’re going to suffer a terrible blow against our chances to end Roe v. Wade and abortion on demand," said Gary Bauer, founder of the Campaign for Working Families."

And in Northern Ireland..."Attempts by Westminster to force legalised abortion onto the province of Northern Ireland could spark a constitutional crisis, say MLAs. Assembly Member, Pat Ramsey (SDLP), called it "outrageous that British MPs are attempting to impose abortion against the clear wishes of the people of Northern Ireland."Such a move "could collapse the entire Assembly," he told the Irish Catholic newspaper. "I don't think there'd be much point in having an assembly where all the parties are opposed to abortion, but the British Government imposes it anyway."-Like Roe vs Wade in America!!!

Or in Australia..."The Upper House of the Australian state of Victoria voted Thursday night 23 to 17 to remove legal restrictions on abortion. The bill, which passed without amendments, decriminalises abortions up to 24 weeks gestation and has been the subject of acrimonious debate in the Victoria legislature. Under the new law, babies in Victoria may be aborted at will up to 24 weeks gestation after which a mother will need the consent of two doctors. Premier John Brumby said that the law was one that "many women in our state find offensive"....Opponents fear that the unamended bill will make criminals of doctors who have a conscientious objection to abortion....The CHA warned that the Abortion Law Reform Bill would violate the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 in forcing medical professionals to act against their conscience."-See also Eduardo Verastegui and the unborn vs Obama and YouTube when it comes to the Hispanic pro-life values voters, under Internationally "In a meeting last week, Victoria's 15 Catholic hospitals unanimously reinforced Archbishop Hart's opposition to the proposed abortion law."We will not require our doctors to comply with the law. In the event that the bill is passed we will ensure that staff are able to examine their consciences."

Connecticut legalizes same-marriage by a 4-3 decision like in California and where is Big Media!!!-Many more reports that are grossly lacking in Big Media this election and usually thruout the year, also. Makes you wonder how much of a block that Big Media is to Godly Family Values. But that is OK. God's in control like He was when His Son was being ill treated. It all worked for the good of many. Not only are we to respond with the love that God had toward us in Christ to those who oppose His truth but we are also called to expose it in love and hope for Christ-like CHANGE!!! You never know when God is going to call somebody out of Big Media like He has those out of the houses of abortion!!!

I must admit my ignorance on the issue of the economy. I have become better informed and I hope I am able to present a point of view that is lacking in Big Media and is credible and has the backing of knowledgable sources like Warren Buffett (granting both sides have knowledgeable sources). This point of view lays the blame on the current mortgage crisis on Government Influence on the Free Market no matter how well intended or unpurposefully done. The crux of the argument is that if the private sector and the free market didn't include Fannie and Freddie's (two Government Sponsored Enterprises not subject to freemarket rules and trade) push for sub-prime mortgages and buy out of the bad debt from these loans in the private market this crisis would not have occurred. There is one candidate who is for bigger Government Influence on the Free Market and there is one candidate who is for less Government Influence on the Free Market thus the economy as the number one issue should aide McCain as opposed to Obama in deciding who to vote for and not to vote for when this argument is considered!!!

New York Times articles in 1999 and 2003 on the Economy-Must read articles from before the Financial Crisis!!! Quite informative on McCain vs Obama on Fannie and Freddie. 1) Congress had regulatory oversight of Fannie and Freddie not Bush. Bush in 2003 tried to set up a regulatory agency separate from the politics of Congress but Congress wouldn't allow this thus the blame is on Congress not Bush policies when it comes to the extent of the damage that is caused by Fannie and Freddie to our economy. That means we need to look at Obama (Democrats) and McCain (Republicans) in congress on Fannie and Freddie not Bush's policies to get to the bottom of this which contradicts Obama's campaigning position on this issue which would then mean Obama is either ignorant about this important issue and thus not ready to lead America out of our crisis or either Obama is purposely withholding that info to get into office. 2) McCain and Bush is indeed for regulation of these Government Sponsored Enterprises in Fannie and Freddie that ultimately caused this mortgage crisis. So this is a consistently Republican conservative position when one understands that Fannie and Freddie are not subject to the responsibilities of the free market and private sector thus regulation becomes more necessary. 3) Fannie and Freddie are in deed Government Sponsored Enterprise as opposed to private sector free market companies subject to the responsibility of the market and their investors. If the private sector were left alone this crisis would have never reached the point of crisis!!! The losses would have been dealt with much longer by the responsibilities these companies have to their investors in the free market but because these two Government Sponsored Enterprises would encourage sub prime mortgages by buying off the bad debt these companies could honestly and lawfully report profits as opposed to losses which makes the investors happy. If Fannie and Freddie were not buying off the bad debt the investors would most definitely have held the companies accountable by not investing in losses and thus would have been forced to straiten up whatever was causing the bad debt and thus putting our whole economy and possibly even the worlds economy in jeopardy. Investors would have caught the trend much more faster then a political beauricratic politicized Governmental Congress/Agency. This is a story of the importance of the free market remaining ultimately and at base free of Governmental political involvement that is not subject to free market rules but rather political correctness of the times which includes Big Media (which never reports on these facts) and liberal and almost socialisitic policies within both parties!!!

Anyways, that is my assessment so far by reading what I have read on the internet from even the New York Times and seeking an alternative understanding then what ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS gives me. I have found it quite beneficial to get out of the today news which has a much more possibility of being biased on either side on this issue because of the elections this year and look at this issue and the concerns that were brought up many years before this crisis. Now I will tell you that I did not go searching for these articles. They came to me via conservative news sources in my daily email subscriptions. So it is not that hard to get information to be better informed and vote responsibly with both sides of the issues laid out before us.

Now my understanding of the issues may be flawed, also. So do check out the articles yourself and see what you come out with but it does spill out some interesting facts that are kind of glossed over by Big Media and Obama in the debates like Congress fought Bush on regulatory oversight back in 2003 (Bush wasn't anti-regulation of a Government Sponsored Enterprise nor is McCain!!! It is just that Bush and McCain both didn't see Congress doing a good job as is evidence 5 years later!!!). One fact I found interesting was that Obama said in the debate that he in no way supported Fannie and Freddie in response to McCain's claim that Obama is the second highest benificiary of Fannie and Freddie in money contributions and McCain being number 62 on the list. And this is inspite of the fact that Obama has only been in the Congress much much much less of the time than McCain has!!! If Fannie and Freddie were not dishing out money to a candidate that is not supportive of themselves then Obama must think either we are stupid or Fannie and Freddie are!!! I am in no way suggesting McCain is perfect in answering debate questions and when you are on the spot a a good point has been made it boils down to who best covers it up and it seems Obama does a better job after all Obama is the lawyer from Harvard and McCain is the patriotic war hero so debates are naturally going to favour the lawyer. And it seems these debates are doing just that. I do hope that more Americans will go home and review what is being said and check out the facts on both sides from both sides. Because I think the debates favor the lawyer and since there is no real criticism on Obama from Big Media that really mean anything that I think it is necessary to take up some of these issues only for the sake of the unborn and Biblical Values. I believe God will give us wisdom how to get out of this mess if we got the moral issues down right if not then we must pray for His mercy for the time being and continue to do His will and leave the rest up to Him.

Lastly, I just found these articles on a conservative blog of the world's largest conservative think tank and largest think tank in the world period at: Morning Bell: The Left’s Official News Service-"Goldstein and Hall have written an article, “Private sector loans, not Fannie or Freddie, triggered crisis,” which is a masterpiece in half-truths and opinion journalism disguised as hard news. Goldstein and Hill cite “Federal Reserve Board data” that show “More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending institutions.” This are the first and most prominent example Goldstein and Hill use to support their thesis. It is also completely irrelevant. As Goldstein and Hill later admit much later in their own article, Freddie and Fannie “don’t lend money, to minorities or anyone else.” Exactly. So the fact that 84% of subprime loans were made by private institutions is completely irrelevant. So why is it the first “fact” Goldstein and Hill cite?"-I just want to point out one thing in rebuttal to this article, also and do read further!!! That if the private sector were let alone and did not have the Fannie and Freddie buy off option would they have acted as carelessly as they did if they were not being encouraged and "bailed out" by Fannie and Freddie to invest in these risky loans. The obvious answer is no!!! For they would have been held responsible by those investing into their company. But the investors factor was eliminated by the bailing out of Freddie and Fannie so all went along and the burden now rests in Fannie and Freddie and us taxpayers!!! This would have been caught long before by investors if they didn't have the Fannie and Freddie buy out option nor their encouragement to invest in subprime mortgages so heavily as they did leading to this problem.

See tomorrow's blog for more on this most interesting subject that many if not most American's are going to vote on this issue as their number one issue over any other issue for one candidate or the other and are probabily not aware of the complexity and amount of facts to justify one's reason for voting one candidate over the other especially when one candidate is at the expense of the unborn children, traditonal biblical Godly family values and religious freedoms.

Lastly, I just found these links in the above article: check out what Warren Buffet and even liberal George Soros say about Fannie and Freddie's involvement in the mortgage crisis and thus in our economic crisis and the world's economy!!!

On to the other blogs posted of this week on ValuesVoterNews.com

Jill Stanek's blog has moved up into the top 7000 blogs!!-See new video ad running in PA, NC and OH on Obama's Born Alive Infant protection record and partial birth abortion. Also, an ecard you can send to others available. Check out what is in some of our American Textbooks and more!!!!

One of Big Media's biggest missed stories of this election year. California's Marriag Amendment!!! -But first a video report of students protesting school libraries over banning books that teach christianity can help those who want out of homosexual lifestyle. Boycott of McDonald's is successful.

California Marriage Amendment

"The state filing by the Protect Marriage Coalition today was nearly 5,000 pages long, recording tens of thousands of individual donations.Protect Marriage campaign manager Frank Schubert acknowledged the enormous fund-raising success “shows the strength of our cause and the tremendous grassroots support for traditional marriage across the state.” About two-thirds of all donations received have been $100 or less. Over 62,000 donations have been received to date. Ninety-five percent of all donations have come from within California."

"According to figures compiled by the National Organization on Money in State Politics, a little less than $33 million was spent on campaigns to pass or defeat gay marriage bans in the 24 states where they appeared on ballots in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Supporters of same-sex marriage had the fundraising edge in all of them, but voters approved all but one, in Arizona. With a month to go until the election, fundraising by the two sides in the California campaign already has well exceeded that amount."

Big Media's disappointing Presidential Debates so far...-"Neither Tom Brokaw of NBC News, who moderated Tuesday night’s presidential debate, nor any of the “townhall” audience members Brokaw pre-selected to ask questions of the two presidential candidates asked a single question about immigration, abortion, same-sex marriage or the war in Iraq."

Fireproof continues to do well for the second week and Director is interviewed on ABCNews.com and I found this comment most interesting: "Hollywood is good at reflecting the values and lifestyles of people in California and New York, but there are so many of us who have a standard of morality and faith that is rarely reflected in films coming out of Hollywood."

C. S. Lewis wrote, “Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

"According to the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, Waves I and II, 20 percent of students in Grades 7-12 who live with their married, biological parents have ever been suspended or expelled from school. By contrast, more than 50 percent of adolescents who live with a single, never-married parent have ever been suspended or expelled. In between are those who live with two biological cohabiting parents (34.3 percent), those living with a step-parent (35.9 percent), those whose parents are divorced (37 percent), and those who live with one biological cohabiting parent (40.8 percent)."

Also in this blog: "Good News: Remarkable Pro-Life Women Share Their Stories-"Feminists for Life (FFL), which counts Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin among its members, is rolling out a series of seven videos featuring Remarkable Pro-Life Women.The videos will premiere one by one during the coming school year on FFL's Web site.The first video features Melissa Ohden, who survived an abortion at just 5 months' gestation. Today, she works for a social welfare agency in the Midwest."

And 2 more First Amendment Case Victories!!!

2 hour panel discussion: "Learn more about the body of research the American Psychological Association failed to assess in its recent report...-Planned Parenthood exposed once again. Check out video on YouTube before it gets yanked like all the rest. Obama has a pro-life web site!!!???? Check out this video and response to this site. Roe vs Wade hangs in the balance with this election and some articles about the accomplishments of Bush in this area and how many possible judges may be appointed this next election and the importance of judges!!!

Levi Strauss, Google, AT&T, Pepsi, NY Times, and High School Libraries vs Pastors, Churches, BoyScouts and those with differing points of view-The title says it all and now on to. This blog got over 200 hits in one day mainly because it got linked up to the google blog that first made the declaration that Google is in support of the homosexual community on this issue!!! Their is alot on this blog as the issue continues!!!!

Testimony of Brian Welch of Korn

I bought Brian Welch's new CD after his conversion. It has been a while since I have been into thrash music but for thrash fans it is a good one. I was in tears over his testimony. Brian is an ex-guitarist for Korn and popular thrash band of sorts and see how God used a friend and his daughter to cause him to rethink where he was going and draw him to Himself. Many links here. Check it out and praise God!!!

Brian Welch: More Than Head Knowledge-"In his early 20s, Brian moved to Los Angeles with a few members of Korn. Drug and alcohol abuse became a regular part of his life. After a few years, Korn hit it big. The drug and alcohol use became more prevalent....Korn’s popularity and success were growing as a Grammy winning Nu Metal rock band, but drug abuse and tumultuous times were going on behind the scenes....In 2004, Brian hit rock bottom. It was hard for him to meet the demands of life on the road as well as being a single father. One of the turning points was when he heard little Jennea singing a Korn song called “A.D.I.D.A.S.,” which stands for “All Day I Dream About Sex.”
Brian knew that he couldn’t keep Jennea in that life and wanted something to change. Brian was depressed, deep into drugs and Internet pornography....One morning, one of his business partners, Eric, sent him an e-mail out of the blue. Eric was a Christian, but didn’t normally share his faith with Brian. This day, it was different. Eric gave Brian the Bible verse, Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, there you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Brian replied and Eric continued to tell him the truth about Jesus, which gave Brian hope. God kept showing Himself to Brian through different personal events. Everywhere he went, it seemed people were telling him about Jesus....Brian is singing a different tune these days. Though his music and his appearance might not seem very different from a few years ago, he has had a true change of heart. Almost four years later, Brian’s motivation for his life and his music has God at the forefront.
Last year, his New York Times best-selling biography, Save Me From Myself, was released, with his fans receiving it as an inspired story of faith and hope. Brian says Korn fans understand the hurt and pain. The book speaks “the language of his people,” as he is trying to be real. His new CD, Save Me From Myself, which shares the same name as his book, was released last month."

Economy

The other side of the story that Big Media doesn't share with you. Find out what you may be missing to help voters have a more balanced view then putting all the blame solely on Bush and the private sector....

The Economy and what Big Media is not telling you...-Let's go back a "1999 New York Times article." entitled "Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending"-"Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders. The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring. Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits."..."In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001, 50 percent of Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups."

Now onto an article just recently published by the from the Boston Globe

Frank's fingerprints are all over the financial fiasco-"'THE PRIVATE SECTOR got us into this mess. The government has to get us out of it."That's Barney Frank's story, and he's sticking to it. As the Massachusetts Democrat has explained it in recent days...The roots of this crisis go back to the Carter administration. That was when government officials, egged on by left-wing activists, began accusing mortgage lenders of racism...The pressure to make more loans to minorities (read: to borrowers with weak credit histories) became relentless. Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act, empowering regulators to punish banks that failed to "meet the credit needs" of "low-income, minority, and distressed neighborhoods." Lenders responded by loosening their underwriting standards and making increasingly shoddy loans...."Lack of credit history should not be seen as a negative factor," the Fed's guidelines instructed. Lenders were directed to accept welfare payments and unemployment benefits as "valid income sources" to qualify for a mortgage. Failure to comply could mean a lawsuit...Frank blithely declares: "The private sector got us into this mess." Well, give the congressman points for gall. Wall Street and private lenders have plenty to answer for, but it was Washington and the political class that derailed this train. If Frank is looking for a culprit to blame, he can find one suspect in the nearest mirror."

Obama's connection with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ignored in Big Media. The Fact that Bush tried to reform Freddie and Fannie ignored in Big Media.-"In 2003, the Bush administration tried to stop the runaway train of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress. Democrats alone didn’t stop this. No one filibustered the Bush administration’s bill in the Senate; it didn’t have the votes to pass anyway. Likewise in 2006, when Chuck Hagel, John McCain, John Sununu, and Elizabeth Dole attempted to fix Fannie and Freddie, Republicans controlled Congress and did nothing to pass this bill. Democrats blocked it, but without some help from Republicans, both efforts would have passed easily.This is not just a Democratic or a Republican party problem at this point, it's everyone's problem."-There is an interesting.

"the TV news media that practically ignored mounting problems – including accounting scandals – at Fannie Mae and her brother Freddie Mac until it was too late."

"prior to this year, the watchdogs at ABC, CBS and NBC found time for only 10 stories on the financial health and management of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

"As if blaming deregulation wasn’t enough, The New York Times online attacked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Sept. 24 for ties to Freddie Mac, but glossed over Sen. Barack Obama’s, D-Ill., connection to Fannie and Freddie. And never mind Barney Frank’s (see related story).The Times story buried campaign contribution figures for both candidates until the very last paragraph of the 1,401 word story. According to the article, since 2004 “Senator Obama has received about $126,000 in contributions from employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while Senator McCain, over the last decade, has received about $22,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”Obama was the number 2 recipient of contributions from Fannie and Freddie, compared to McCain’s 62 – but the Times didn’t mention that."

"Actually, a little -- two years ago, I warned that the oversight of Fannie and Freddie was, was terrible, that we were facing a crisis because of it, or certainly serious problems"-McCain..."In fact, it was Democrats who blocked Bush administration proposals to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2003. 2003 New York Times article that detailed efforts by Democrats to block reforms: query.nytimes.com"

"In 2004, as The Wall Street Journal declared Fannie Mae was “cooking the books” to the tune of $11 billion dollars, ABC, CBS and NBC were almost silent."

And much more that Big Media is censoring at the expense of the Republican Party which then is at the expense of the unborn, Biblical Traditonal Family Values and religious liberties which then will be at the expense of God's blessings. There is much more like under Bush's tax cuts the rich ended up paying more percentage of the over tax pool. That even though Bush's tax cuts cut taxes for all it ended up that the rich paid higher percentages then others before Bush's tax cuts under Clinton. Something that is obviously missing in Big Media. Just because Bush's tax cuts did give cuts to the rich doesn't mean that the rich are paying less by percentage of all the taxes but rather more then before which goes to show that the Democrat and Big Media painting of Republican's is not exactly on the mark.

Pro-Life vs Obama

Obama's abortion reduction plan in doubt. The Roe vs Wade of Europe and thousands of women are having abortion but no one is talking in the UK.-"Obama said at the Saddleback forum-"The fact is that although we have had a president who is opposed to abortion over the last eight years, abortions have not gone down and that is something we have to address."

Is this true? Pro-lifers already knew this to be false cause this is something we have been excited about since months ago thanks not to Big Media but Conservative Media that abortions have dropped during Bush's presidency and others including Clinton's. But have dropped to a 30 year record low during the Bush presidency but are still astronomically high considering that a child is not a child the moments he/she passes thru the pelvic but are as much a child the day before and the day before that and then before that and so on....This is not above anybodies pay grade even a child could determine a baby is as much alive the day before and months before birth as a baby is afterwards....

Factcheck update

U.S. Abortion Rate at 30-Year Low-"new study reveals abortion rates fell 33 percent in the U.S. over the last 30 years. But the report also reveals there are still significant differences among populations as to who gets an abortion. The Guttmacher Institute's study says while abortions and pregnancies among teenagers has dropped 50 percent, abortion rates are still high among older women with children and poor women. Abortion rates also differed dramatically between racial and economic groups. While abortions did decrease among white women, it did not for those of Latin or African-American descent. Click the play button for comments from Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union."

U.S. ABORTION RATE CONTINUES LONG-TERM DECLINE, FALLING TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1974; MORE EFFORT STILL NEEDED TO REDUCE UNINTENDED PREGNANCY-Showing the release of this report back in January of 2008 to be published and then published in March of 2008. So Obama had no excuse for his comments!!!

This is done by a pro-Planned Parenthood in philosophy group so there is no pro-life bias here as is evidence by their philosophy. Check into it for yourself.

Sadly, one thing that this study does not indicate is the effectiveness of many pro-life policies that have helped reduce abortions that if Obama becomes president would override everyone by signing into law FOCA.

125,000 more abortions per year under proposed “Freedom of Choice Act”-"With so much attention on the economy, one area of federal legislation that can be overlooked is abortion. An old and dangerous bill that will increase abortions by an enormous amount is being resurrected by abortion advocates: the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). H.R. 1964 and S.1173.FOCA is usually reported as “codifying Roe v. Wade,” but it is much more. Since the Webster and Casey decisions in 1989 and 1992, the Supreme Court has allowed states to limit abortion somewhat by such things as requiring parental involvement and informed consent, prohibiting government funding of most abortion, and more recently outlawing most partial birth abortions.But FOCA tolerates none of this. Advocates and opponents of FOCA all agree that the bill would nullify every legal limit on abortion, state, federal or otherwise. Americans United for Life, as well as the Family Research Council, explain this fact in great detail. Abortion advocates who want FOCA concur: NOW, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and FOCA sponsor Senator Barbara Boxer all contend that FOCA will strike down all state pro-life laws....CHART (pdf): Combined Reduction in Abortions from State Laws on Parental Involvement, Informed Consent, and Abortion Funding Restrictions...Specifically, if FOCA is passed it will increase abortions by 125,000 more per year in the United States. Since 2004, Dr. Michael New has published studies with the Heritage Foundation showing that a large reduction in abortions can be attributed to these three kinds of laws."

Bush vs Obama on Dr's conscience rights-"So we don't protect a baby who survives an abortion, nor are we to allow parental involvement and now Physicians, Dr's and Health Workers are forced to go against their conscience and encourage what to them is the taking of an innocent human life?!!? These Roe vs Wade defenders are extending Roe vs Wade over parental rights, born alive infant rights, conscience rights, all at the favoring of a women's right to choose at the expense of an unborn child's right to life."-If this is how important a women's right to choose is and Roe vs Wade is then something has gone astray and it sure ain't the innocent life inside of the womb!!!!

And lastly in this blog don't miss the The Roe vs Wade of Europe

Eduardo Verastegui and the unborn vs Obama and YouTube when it comes to the Hispanic pro-life values voters-Star actor in Bella makes a youtube video with an edited and unedited version. Unedited version is yanked from YouTube. It's all in spanish directed to the hispanic values voter to basically not vote for Obama because of the issue of the unborn. If you find these videos distasteful cause it exploits the life ending abuse of the unborn just consider that in times past like the holocaust or the abuses of the slave trade that sometimes its necessary to exploit these things for what they really are in detail for the sake of factual persuasion of others to end these atrcoties. It is one thing that abortion occurs in the context of saving a life of the mother if both are going to die or something like that but it is quite another that babies are treated this way for convenience sake. Abortion should be banned in almost all cases except life saving situations. And an argument could be made that a mother should protect her child's life even if at the expense of her own. Not that this would be an easy decision to make but clearly the more loving thing to do. I think many mothers and fathers would gladly give their lives for the sake of their children and I don't see why this same love can't be extended into the womb. And lastly, we have all sinned and all need forgiveness. Abortion is not the unforgivable sin. King David was forgiven for murdering the husband of the wife that he committed adultery with. Paul was forgiven for persecuting God's own people and many many other examples of great forgiveness in the scriptures. So this is not at all a condemning message. Sure without forgiveness it is but thank God that in Christ when sin is revealed to us we can apologize and receive forgiveness cause unlike any other religion in the world God actually paid the price for our sin and so that price is perfectly satisfied and thus forgiveness can be perfectly given and confidently received because it relies ultimately on His perfect act as opposed to our already imperfect acts. So bear that in mind if you have committed abortion. There is perfect forgiveness in Christ like no other.

Fireproof

Update on Fireproof movie in theatres. On its first weekend it grossed in at number 4 despite being in only 840 or so theatres. My wife and I saw it and it is excellent. One of our top ten movies. A must see for all. You will be in tears but a good kind of tear. No typical hollywood believe in yourselfism nonsense. A man is a good man only because somebody outside of that man has touched that man (what self pride killer of a movie). But it's much more then that. Just a great movie. Must see. Down to earth non hollywoodized relationships, down to earth conversations with down to earth real people which compliments its down to earth production and cost of the movie. A movie that will relate to the common man and woman going thru a common problem of selfishness, pride, etc etc with the real solution and answer. The movie cost $500,000 to make and has brought in its first week almost 10 million dollars.

A must see http://www.fireproofthemovie.com/. Wow!!!

An American Carol

http://americancarol.com/-also in theatres now...."An American Carol is a 2008 American comedy film, directed by David Zucker and starring Kevin Farley. Presented from a conservative perspective, the film "lampoons contemporary American culture, particularly Hollywood."[2] It uses the framework of A Christmas Carol but moves the setting of the story from Christmas to Independence Day. It is written by Myrna Sokoloff and Zucker. The supporting cast includes Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Trace Adkins, Jillian Murray and Leslie Nielsen. [3] The film was released on October 3, 2008."-Wikipedia

Come What May

On DVD. Eduardo Verastegui and the unborn vs Obama and YouTube when it comes to the Hispanic pro-life values voters-"Advent Film Group (AFG) produced the movie in association with Patrick Henry College, a true-to-life powerhouse in collegiate debate and moot court competition. PHC, founded eight years ago, enrolling only 300 students, has won the Moot Court National Championship twice and has beaten Oxford in England and again in Richmond, VA. The movie's legal argument is solid."

"Come what may"-Trailers and clips. An interestingly simple argument in favor of the unborn is presented in one of the clips of the movie. Something to this effect: When is a baby alive? And one answers when a human is born. Then was the baby alive a day before he/she was born? And the obvious answer to even a child would be of course. So then how many days back from birth is a baby alive and so on, ultimately to conception. So then the argument ends with, is there a day in which we are considered to be alive and that moment only happens at one point in our life and that is at the moment of conception.

Eduardo Verastegui and the unborn vs Obama and YouTube when it comes to the Hispanic pro-life values voters-"Actor in Bella speaks out on the issue of abortion against Obama. This is in spanish directed toward Hispanic values voter who are largely pro-life. If you have yet to see Bella it is a must buy or rent. See http://www.bellamoviesite.com/ "#1 top rated film by New York Times reader poll, Yahoo and Fandango." If you didn't know about this film blame Big Media and Hollywood for not picking up on this film as much as the polls did." Star actor in Bella speaks out against abortion and Obama for supporting abortion. On this blog see edited and unedited spanish only versions of star actor in this movie. See above for more details but if you haven't seen Bella rent it or buy it. It is another good relational movie. Down to earth and relatable to everyday people.
