American History

The Pilgrims

The first sea-fasts ever held in the world? November 9th, 1620. 388 years ago.-"On their voyage they would set apart whole days of fasting and prayer, to obtain from heaven a good success in their voyage, especially when the weather was much against them, whereunto they had remarkable answers; so much so that the sailors were astonished, and said they were the first sea-fasts ever held in the world....The Mayflower sought our shores,” says Webster, “under no high-wrought spirit of commercial adventure, no love of gold, no mixture of purpose warlike or hostile to any human being. Like the dove from the ark, she had put forth only to find rest. Solemn supplications on the shore of the sea in Holland had invoked for her, at her departure, the blessings of Providence. The stars which guided her were the unobscured constellations of civil and religious liberty....Before they sailed, on the deck of the ship, their Pastor—John Robinson—gave them the following farewell charge...I charge you to take heed what you receive as truth; examine it, consider it, and compare it with the scriptures of truth before you receive it."

Exactly 388 years ago to date the Pilgrims sign the Mayflower Compact.-"Pilgrims from Plymouth, England sign the Mayflower Compact November 11th, 1660 exactly 388 years ago.... in the presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic..."

The first college on the American continent founded by the Pilgrims only 16 years after landing in America 372 years ago!!!-""public" schools are set up and so is the first American University. I put "public" in quotations cause the understanding of a "public" school ever since the ACLU entered into the scene in American history has somewhat changed...."

Early Education Deemed important early on

"endeavor to teach, by themselves or others, theire children"..."As early as 1635, free schools were commenced in Boston"..."The following was passed by the General Court, in the year 1647, for the promotion of common education...after that the Lord hath increased them to the number of fifty howsholders, shall then forthwith appointe one within theire towne".."they may bee fitted for the university"

University Education likewise important early on

"In 1636, the colonists began at Cambridge, Massachusetts, the first college on the American continent...The Pilgrims, when they numbered only five thousand families, founded the University of Cambridge, in 1636, with its perennial motto, ‘Christo et Ecclesiae;’"....."A college, accordingly, was established in 1636, and in 1638 Rev. John Harvard, a learned and wealthy minister, died, and by his will gave one-half of his property and his entire library to the college at Boston; and hence it is called Harvard College, and now, also, Cambridge University."

Voluntary Financial Aide was provided for the poor

Rev. Thomas Shepard, D.D., a learned divine, and laborious minister of God, conceived the design of procuring voluntary contributions of corn—money being out of the question—from all parts of New England, for the purpose of maintaining poor students..."Those whom God hath called to attend the welfare of religious commonwealths have been prompt to extend their care for the good of public schools...If, therefore, it were recommended by you to the freedom of every family that is able and willing to give, throughout the plantations, to give but the fourth part of a bushel of corn, or something equivalent thereto...a recommendation which was adopted and very generally responded to.-1644.

"The constitution of Massachusetts, of 1780, thus refers to Harvard College—"...our wise and pious ancestors, so early as the year 1636, laid the foundation of Harvard College...by the blessing of God...the encouragement of arts and sciences, and all good literature, tends to the honor of God"

“In these measures,” says Bancroft, “especially in the laws establishing common schools, lies the secret of the success and character of New England...a pledge of the public care for its morals and its mind"...."God is in history, and all history has a unity because God is in it."-George Bancroft 1800-1891 (American Historian and statesman who the Bancroft Treaties were named after)"

"the philosopher who will understand and interpret history must believe that God, not accident, governs the world."-Chevalier Bunsen (Christian German Philosopher)"

Education

A teacher in North Carolina overstepped her bounds big time and thinks it's ok!!!-"Makes you wonder how many teachers have done something similar but just weren't caught on video!!! Also, ask yourself what would happen to the teacher if this was a subject on evolution and creationism or homosexuality or something!!! Or what if it was an Obama voter that was being treated this way in a grade school. I bet it would get a whole lot more media attention then this is going to get!!!"

Charter schools vs Public Schools in California in the context of educating the poor-"Public schools are a concern for many faith based families, however, that concern can vary from state to state (see Texas school board below) and their are answers to those concerns coming forth....In 1940 teachers reported their major problems were talking, gum chewing, noise, running in halls, and cutting in line. In 1990 the problems were assault, robbery, drug abuse, and pregnancy.... 2005 Associated Press report revealed that during the period of 2000-2004 West Virginia dismissed 41 teachers for sexual misconduct. A Hofstra University professor believes that educator sexual misconduct is "woefully understudied"..The Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS for short) produces lessons for "sex ed" classes known as "Programs That Work". Parents probably do not know that SIECUS criticizes "abstinence-only-until-marriage" curricula as "based on religious beliefs (that) rely on fear and shame". SIECUS also complains that these abstinence programs do not view homosexuality as normal. SIECUS promotes policies, like what we have in West Virginia, where the school can provide birth control without consulting parents...We do not need more reform. We have wasted millions (perhaps billions) of dollars on utopian efforts to reform public schools."

"Charter schools are winning the battle for best education for the poor in California according to recent survey. "12 of the top 15 public schools in California that cater primarily to poor children are charters."-LATimes

Africa and new DVD documentary about Rwanda

New DVD Documentary about forgiveness in Rwanda as killers and victims live side by side!!!-"Could you forgive a person who murdered your family? This is the question faced by the subjects of As We Forgive, a documentary about Rosaria and Chantal—two Rwandan women coming face-to-face with the men who slaughtered their families during the 1994 genocide....Today, killers and the victims live side by side, sharing the mental, physical and emotional scars of war...Pastor Warren's idea is to turn the 726 churches in this region into sort-of healthcare centers.Local Christians learn to use their churches as distribution centers for medicine and basic healthcare.But the P.E.A.C.E. plan encompasses more than just medical projects.Short term teams come from the states to help train Rwandans in various business and development projects.Who does the training?Well, everyday Christians who have expertise to share -- like businesswoman Marianne Phillips who's teaching women to manage small businesses and earn a sustainable income for their families....It's all about joining churches from the west with churches in other countries. About 1,000 Saddleback members have become short-term missionaries to churches in Rwanda, helping to lay the ground work for outreach by local believers."-Yes this is the same Saddleback Church that gay activists are protesting see Homosexuals Protest Warren’s Church for His Pro-Marriage "

Economy

Obama's tax plan changes to more like a Republican one? Also, Election coverage TV ratings in!!!-"Obama's campaign ads rebuked McCain for giving tax breaks to the rich. But now is Obama going back on that!!! See also, Obama's Pick for Chief of Staff Tops Recipients of Wall Street Money....Hats off to ABC this weekABC this week actually did a good job in asking about this tuff question that I was quite interested in and notice how Obama's Chief of Staff responds!!! Go to 2:35 minutes into the interview!!! I wish ABC this week also asked some questions about Obama's Chief of Staff being the number one recipient of Wall Street money and maybe he did but I couldn't find it again see Obama's Pick for Chief of Staff Tops Recipients of Wall Street Money.

An argument that demands a 500 billion dollar response!!!-"every dollar Congress “injects” into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy. No new spending power is created"-A must read of a critique of an economic view!!!

No President-elect in the postwar era has been greeted with a more audible hiss from Wall Street.-"News media apply double standard to president-elect's influence on market fluctuations....As stocks rose on Election Day 2008, the media were more than happy to credit investors’ excitement over Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s chance of winning. But when stocks tanked in the days following Obama’s election, concern over Obama’s economic policies was the last possible culprit."

Same Sex Marriage

Roseanne Barr: Blacks who supported Prop 8 are 'bigots'...-"Well, let’s see. The civil rights once denied to black Americans included the right to register as a voter, the right to cast a ballot, the right to use numerous public facilities, the right to get a fair hearing in court, the right to send their children to an integrated public school, and the right to equal opportunity in housing and employment. Have gay people been denied any of these rights? Have they been forced to sit in the back of buses? Confined to segregated neighborhoods? Barred from serving on juries? Subjected to systematic economic exploitation?Plainly, declining to change the timeless definition of marriage deprives no one of “the civil rights once denied” to blacks, and it is an absurdity to claim otherwise. It is also a poisonous slur: For if opposing same-sex marriage is like opposing civil rights, then voters who backed Proposition 8 are no better than racists, the moral equivalent of those who turned the fire hoses on blacks in Birmingham in 1963"

Video of Dr Dobson receiving Radio Hall of Fame induction and his speech at The Call California-"I wanted to say real quick concerning Dobson. When he was at The Call California (a gatehring about 10000 or so people in San Diego praying and fasting for America) there were protest in outside of the stadium and Dr Dobson spoke to them with love and tolerance though in obvious disagreement. I was impressed with the way he showed love to his opponents. An example to us all watch Dobson give his speech and how he deals with those who call him a discriminator and bigot."-Thank you Jesus for an example of a modern day hero to follow in Christ as people continue to call us bigots!!! A must view video of Dobson talking to protestors!!!

Breaking News: Governor Schwarzenegger hopes states highest court will overturn Prop 8 and tells protestors to not give up!!!-"California
CA Gov. to Prop 8 Opponents: Don't Give Up-"California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he hopes the state's highest court will overturn Proposition 8, passed by voters last week to define marriage as being only between a man and a woman."-Excellent 2 minute video report. Also, show homosexuals calling Dr Dobson a bigot and discriminator as they protest Dr Dobson's indunction into the radio hall of fame!!! See The largest vote total in the Radio Hall of Fame history is produced by Focus on the Family and Dr Dobson!!!. Also, check out What do these three black women have in common and what does Obama have to do with it? and UK: House of Lords recognizes dangers of hate laws to free speech and religious liberty.

A revealing survey of 1,000 state anti-discrimination laws-"Based on the data, The Becket Fund concludes that if same-sex marriage is recognized by courts or legislatures, people and institutions that have conscientious objections to facilitating same-sex marriage will likely be sued under existing anti-discrimination laws—laws never intended for that purpose."

First Amendment Issues

6 New First Amendment and Religious Freedom Victories!!!-"I have been tallying up the First Amendment related victories since 06/08 and we are now at 31 and there are many more coming. I am just now starting to get caught up on the reporting of these victories. The last tally was at 22 reported on blog titled Pastors vs IRS a week after. Why is not Big Media covering this? and then there was one reported at McCain/Palin vs Obama/Biden/George Lucas/Ellen DeGeneres/Melissa Ethridge/Mary Blige/Hollywood on same sex marriage. and two more at Big Media's disappointing Presidential Debates so far...."

Internationally

Religious freedom issues in Iraq, India and Pakistan.-Iraq. "The extra police were sent in after a campaign of violence and intimidation against Christians last month prompted a mass exodus of more than 2,000 families from Mosul...Since 2004: - Priests have been beheaded - Christian leaders kidnapped - Churches bombed - Unveiled women burned with acid - Men killed for owning a music store or beaten for selling alcohol for communion..."

India-"Speaking to thousands of the faithful gathered in the city of Bharananganam in India, the prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches, Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, called for an end to the anti-Christian violence, “as a sign of authentic respect for the religious freedom of all the sons and daughters of India.”

Pakistan-"I will be the first one to put down myself in front of the bulldozers when they come to bulldoze our houses"

Liberal Media Bias

Washington Post admits "a serious omission"/"one gaping hole in coverage"/"13 percent were about issues"/"there were few on religious issues"-"The project also calculated that in that time, 57 percent of the stories were about the horse race and 13 percent were about issues...Some readers thought The Post went over Palin with a fine-tooth comb and neglected Biden. They are right; it was a serious omission."...."Study finds that Leno and Letterman monologues made GOP ticket butt of jokes 7-1 over Democratic ticket."

Pro-Life

Testimony of the most renowned abortion Dr in Serbia turn Pro-Life leader!!!-"The medical textbooks of the Communist regime said abortion was simply the removal of a blob of tissue," the newspaper reported. "Ultrasounds allowing the fetus to be seen did not arrive until the 80s, but they did not change his opinion. Nevertheless, he began to have nightmares"

Jamaica

"The film portion of the physician’s presentation, called “riveting” by RadioJamaica.com, caused many members to shift about in their seats and look at the ground. RadioJamaica reports that current Health Minister Ruddy Spencer and Senator Sandra Faulkner left the room during the viewing, while other members openly turned their heads away from the screen."

Post Abortive men and women you are not alone. Over 220 minutes of video lecture and great counsel from a post abortive woman!!!-"Once your relationship with God has been restored, your guilt has served its purpose and should no longer be given place in your life. This is true regardless of the sin, including the sin of abortion. As a post-abortive woman, I too struggled with this issue until I realized that punishing and hating myself after receiving God’s forgiveness was an insult to God."

Another video pulled from YouTube and an award winning pro-life video!!!-Winner of the Student for Life Video Activism. Check out this video and about 7 more.

Is the pro-life movement any more violent then the pro-choice movement?-Just visit http://www.prochoiceviolence.com/ to see that our movement has been able to document 8519 acts of violence (and counting) by the other side....we already have a peaceful revolution - and not only is it possible, it's growing! As long as I have anything to say about it, there won't be any "anti-abortion terror." Instead, there will be peaceful vigil, 24-hours a day, around abortion centers. That both stops abortions and stops the killing of abortionists."

What did Clinton do within his first two days of presidency? Compare to Bush and lets see what Obama will do.-"Click on link to see chart. Basically Clinton on January 22, 1993 issued five executive orders: 1) Reversed Title 10 regulations banning abortion referred by federal employees, 2) Repealed Mexico City Policy restricting federal funding of international organizations that work to reverse countries' abortion laws, 3) Negated band on funding for fetal tissue transplants, 4) Ordered military hospitals to commit abortion and 5) Asked FDA "review" the import ban on RU-486...."

Radio Broadcasting

The largest vote total in the Radio Hall of Fame history is produced by Focus on the Family and Dr Dobson!!!-"Dr. James Dobson and his "Focus on the Family" radio broadcast officially will be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame on Saturday. Gay activists are planning to protest the Chicago event....For the first time, voting was opened to the public. According to the Hall of Fame, more than 50,000 people voted for "Focus on the Family" — the largest vote total in the group's history."

Same Sex Marriage

Men in women's restrooms again. Voters overturn Michigan ordinance.-"Voters in the town of Hamtramck, Michigan have overturned an ordinance which would have given legal protections to homosexual behavior, expression and attire. The regulations could also have forced businesses to permit men who perceive themselves as women to use women’s restrooms. Any attempts to prevent such activity, according to the Thomas More Law Center, would have subjected violators to investigations, criminal prosecution, civil litigation, and fines of up to five hundred dollars a day. The proposal, labeled as a “human rights” ordinance, was defeated 2,903 votes to 2,333."

Excellent video reports on California Marriage Amendment from CBNNews.com.-Same Sex Marriage proponents protest LDS Church but 70 percent of Barack Obama African-Americans voters voted against same sex marriage in California. Maybe they should protest Obama and African-Americans, also. Why just the religious?

Must see video of vandalized homes, signs and cars in California over Prop. 8.-"California residents who are voting "yes" to keep the traditional definition of marriage are facing vandalism from opponents of the proposed state constitutional amendment."

Documented intolerance from the left in California and Florida over same sex marriage amendments!!-Interesting video response from the right to the intolerance from the left on California Marriage Amendment

The single largest, most powerful grassroots movement in the history of American ballot intiative campaigns!!!. An excellent link to an in detail article laying out what most of you already know but a good paper as to why same-sex marriage is dangerous to the First Amendment.

Teachers and citizens in California moving to different teacher's union and utility company. Why?-"According to the attorney, more than 5,000 people -- many of them teachers who are disenchanted with CTA's political donation -- have cancelled service with PG&E and are now obtaining service from companies that generally charge less as well as support family values..." Included in this blog are just a couple of more reasons why people of faith are concerned that their local Teachers Association and Public Utility company sent almost 1 million and half dollars combined to support Same Sex Marriage.

Global Warming

Famous Scientist comes out of the closet on Global Warming and is shunned for it....-"FOR YEARS David Bellamy was one of the best known faces on TV. A respected botanist and the author of 35 books, he had presented around 400 programmes over the years and was appreciated by audiences for his boundless enthusiasm.Yet for more than 10 years he has been out of the limelight, shunned by bosses"

Economy

Obama's Pick for Chief of Staff Tops Recipients of Wall Street Money-Eyeblast.tv video that is telling of how objective a reporter Chris Matthews is going to be at MSNBC!!! Also, Obama ran a campaign on supposed corrupting influences of Wall Street: "A day after being elected president and acknowledging "the worst financial crisis in a century," Barack Obama asked one of the biggest recipients of Wall Street campaign contributions to be his chief of staff. Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois congressman who was an aide in the Clinton White House, was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the larger securities/investment industry--not the most popular of industries in the current economy."-I am sure he has an explanation but it shouldn't go without one. Will Big Media report this and allow for an explanation!!!

Worst post-election day in at least 28 years for the Dow-"The Dow Jones industrials sank 486 points"

How did the Dow Jones fair the second day after Obama election?-"Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 443.48 points"-However, it did bounce back about 250 points on Friday. I doubt Obama is going to be able to tax the rich right away. We need them to wisely invest and create jobs. How about incentives for wisely investing and creating jobs not tax penalties for doing so?

When Bush Tax cuts expire watch out cause then it goes back to the days of Clinton which if you remember we were in a recession when Bush took over in 2001. I don't know if this has anything to do with a recovery of the economy but think about it, if millions/billions are being invested into the economy which is investing in companies that are creating jobs then when Bush's tax cuts expire I can't help but to think this will have a bad effect on the economy cause those millions/billions are going to be taxed and hit hard thus not able to be invested into the economy thus no new job creation.

I could be wrong we will see and see what Obama does about it. Bush's answer to the recession when he began office was tax cuts so that money can flow back into the economy and it worked. We had record highs in the Dow Jones under Bush and was balancing the budget even despite the money spent on the war in Iraq as of 08/2007 until the mortgage crisis hit. Now the mortgage crisis hits and here we are with another possible recession handed over to a new presidency and lets see what Obama does. It's not going to be easy either way, let's pray for wisdom for him. I don't see how "trickle up" economics is going to work without some money "trickling down" to trickel up with.

Education

Teacher of the Year barred from "Celebration of Excellence" but continues to boycott NEA anyways!!! -"Ekre, who has been a teacher for 16 years, said she joined the association when she began teaching but dropped out because she regards the NDEA’s parent organization, the National Education Association, as too politically liberal. NDEA members automatically are members of the NEA and provide support to the national organization.“This is one of many actions the NEA and its affiliates have taken that clearly demonstrate the well-being of teachers and students is not its first priority,” said Candi Cushman, education analyst for Focus on the Family Action. “The NEA affiliate in California recently donated more than $1 million in an unsuccessful effort to defeat a measure protecting traditional marriage.“But the good news is there are more and more high-quality, courageous teachers like Ms. Ekre who are rising up and refusing to let their dollars support agendas they don’t support.”

Teachers and citizens in California moving to different teacher's union and utility company. Why?-"Countless numbers of public school teachers [who are] outraged with their teachers union are contacting the Pacific Justice Institute and downloading information from ChooseCharity.org in order to switch from this union and have all of their union dues given to a charity that's in agreement with their faith instead of the union," Dacus adds."

Pro-Life

From Personhood Colorado to Personhood USA-Two must see videos concerning PersonHoodUSA and the obvious!!! Just click on and watch!!! Plus some devastating news for the unborn after the Obama win.

Jill Stanek: The Church must take responsibility.. Take time to thank Bush for defending the unborn!!-"The pro-life movement was actually born of necessity by a void in church teaching, and now the church is almost completely reliant on our para-church organizations and the government to handle the gravest human atrocity in all of history . . .The church must stop abdicating responsibility to stop abortion to the pro-life movement and politicians . . ."

Congrats to Obama. The unborn lose on all initiatives but the traditional marriage wins on all intiatives as the culture wars continue....-"I Timothy 2:1-6 - "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."-Victory for Obama appears to be unrelated to social issues...

God gap widens against Obama-"Barack Obama has courted white weekly churchgoers as avidly as any Republican-leaning bloc of voters, though it now appears his efforts may fall flat on Election Day.The Gallup Poll now shows Obama backed by 28% of white voters who attend church at least once a week - a group that makes up a roughly a third of all voters - which would be no improvement from the 29% of these voters who, according to exit polls, backed Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore in the previous two presidential election...."I think pro-choice people in this culture have absolutely no idea of the depth and intensity of the moral outrage of the people who are pro-life," Land said. "They think that conservatives use it only as a wedge issue."

A must listen interview with parents of first ever Sophmore Heisman trophy winner!!!-Evidence that this is not a wedge issue listen to this 8 minute interview of Tim Tebow's parents.

Jill Stanek of BornAliveTruth.org makes post election statement-Jill Stanek calls on Obama to enforce Born Alive Infant Protection Laws: "There is significant evidence that babies who survive abortion are either being outright killed or shelved to die despite BAIPA’s 2002 passage. This indicates the need for the President of the United States and its government officials to truly uphold the “right to life” dictated by our Founding Fathers. We hope to have their full support to aid these babies who are born alive after abortions and provide them with necessary medical care."

Foreign Policy

No US service members have died in Iraq capital in October and lowest overal death toll in war period!!!-A very interesting interview with an ex-general who doesn't think that Iraqi's are any better off in October then they were before the surge in Iraq.

Faith and Foreign Policy-An interesting 72 minute lecture concerning the linked subject. The conservative party in Canada win big even though liberals were tagging them with Bush like Obama did. Religious freedom issues in India and Iraq. And in Somalia Christian beheaded.

Media Bias

Interesting interviews of Democrats on the Fairness Doctrine-An interesting interview of two Maryland democrats on the issue of the Fairness Doctrine. Excellent points made especially the point that one of the democrats made on how exactly is the government going to be fair in regulating the content of all the media and to narrow out just radio and not any others is somewhat opposite of the "Fairness Doctrine". Good 5 minute video interview.

Post Election Encouragement

39 minute video sermon of encouragement for social conservatives from the Family Research Council Chapel

CBNNews.com video report of Martin Luther King Jr and Billy Graham working together over civil rights.

William Wilberforce and his allies boycotted sugar at one time because of the link between sugar production and slavery. This election has made it clear where Big Media's (CBS, NBC, ABC and PBS) heart is on the issue of the unborn. Their heart is as silent as the voice of the unborn when there lives are taken from them and it's not right!!! To say it in unjust politically correct terms concerning the statement "it's not right". From a pro-life perspective it's much worse then not right it's taking a side on the issue with no equal coverage. In other words an unjust attack on "the least of these" in our society, the unborn. The only time Big Media makes it an issue is in defense of Obama's voting record or in offense toward the McCain's/Palin's. God can not be happy with Big Media reporting on this issue. I believe this election has, as the anti-slavery movement, given for just reason to boycott the networks and move over to something new until they 1) take the issue up and 2) when they do justice to both sides of the issue and 3) rely upon the American people to make the right choice rather then journalistic ideological/political commentaries!!!! I believe if Big Media was as onesided against the anti-slavery movement in his day, he too would be considering a voluntary boycott of those from his side see Denver Post vs the legacy of William Wilberforce, other christians and the unborn.

Secondly, think about this, Studies: No Doubt About It: All But Fox News Tipping Obama's Way, If Only Journalists Voted: Presidents Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry..., and 96% of Slate Staff to Vote for Obama; 55 Obama to One for McCain.

Click on those articles to find that FoxNews is more balanced then Big Media!!! 1) FoxNews does report on the issues of abortion and 2) allows both side's point of view on their network!!!

If you ever have a chance to watch Hannity and Colmes it's a model of fairness and balance!!! Here you have Hannity a conservative and Colmes a liberal democrat that asks questions of their guest (which are sometimes republican or conservative and sometimes democrat or liberal guests) that would be real questions each side would like to ask in the phrasing they desire and then the guest gets to respond and further follow questions are made and then you the American gets to decide!!!!! That is a balanced show and fair to the two sides and respectful of the intelligence of the American public!!! A must view show!!! Here is a 5 and a half minute segment of a show in which 1) Hannity and Colmes took up the issue of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and abortion survivor Gianna Jessen ad calling on Obama to vote for protections for babies that survive an abortion. So 1) good job to Hannity and Colmes for taking up an issue that many are concerned about!!! 2) Good job to this shows balance and fairnes for this show allowed a conservative view on this issue to be presented and then the liberal side!!! And 3) this is typical of this show on Fox and is a model for others and seems to be the best way to portray your network as fair and balanced to the American public without insulting the intelligence of the public nor relying upon the ignorance of the American public.

Watch it here at" BornAliveTruth.org introducing Gianna Jessen, the first abortion survivor to be featured in new television ad.. You will need to scroll down till you see the first YouTube video. That is how it should be done and that is why FoxNews is the #1 watched cablenews program and can claim that it is indeed more fair and balanced then all Big Media!! As is confirmed by above independent non-partisan study and multitudes of studies are coming out confirming this!!!

But lastly, back to another point to be made about the above studies that show a very lopsided ideological background of a majority of journalists in Big Media. This may be one of the reasons why Big Media is unfair toward the unborn but also, gives us more reason to boycott because then our viewership of Big Media is not only going to a Media outlet that is unsupportive and quite the opposite of the unborn but also, to a Media that is probabily giving their money from our viewership over to politicians that are not supportive of the unborn either. So it is a double wammy on the unborn and to add a triple wammy that these journalist that we are feeding by supporting their horrid journalism in viewing their shows are also, not only probabily giving money and bias coverage for their party but are in no doubt VOTING for these candidates!!! So Big Media has Big if not Bigger links then the sugar industry ever had of slaves. So I sum up my argument for a Big Boycott of Big Media, using William Wilberforce and the anti-slavery movement in example and the Big Connections that Big Media have to preventing care for the unborn and treating them as if they are not alive and a non-issue!!!

And lastly, would Jesus support such a onesided industry???!!! I think it's a fair question. He would probabily do more then boycott like give his life so that another may live but if one is not willing to sacrifice a little unfair coverage and focus of issues and simply vote for the unborn at the sacrifice of a theoretically political possible benefit to themselves then how can one say he/she would play the part of a good samaritan anywhere, else if a thought out carefully laid out and elogent argument/excuse arose for a reason not too!!!

For those of us who are aware of the Big Meda bias against the unborn I think we can make a difference by bringing awareness of the Big Media stumbling block to the unborn and band together for a boycott. I am a noboby but who knows that maybe somebody who is a somebody catches a wiff and/or many of us nobodies come together to form a boycott and make ourselves a somebody for a cause to glorify the God of life and the one who laid down his own life for infinitely less worthy one's that maybe this issues can kill two birds with one stone 1) the taking of the lives of the unborn the most innocent beings of our society and 2) the salvation of many who have been involved in this sin and for all of us who have fallen short of the glory of God ourselves including those in Big Media, Presidents, Congressman and all of us nobodies. We all need God's grace as is plain and clear to any objective observer. No one individual is any better or worse then any other without God except God Himself and so as Christ laid down His perfect sinless life for our quite the contrasting and opposite lives, so must we extend that same love God extended to us to those who claim the right to take the lives of the unborn and to the unborn themselves before God says enough is enough or before one dies in his/her sin!!!

Remembering that it is never right for people to act vengefully for as God says "vengeance is mine". It is not ours. Our's is to love our enemy and turn the other cheek and pray for those who persecute you winning our enemies over with love as Roe of Roe vs Wade was see Testimony of Roe of Roe vs Wade!!!

I do apologize for my bad grammar. I hope the spirit of the blog is what is perceived and not the bad grammar!!! :)

Also, "Obama's Abortion Train Wreck-"The pro-life Susan B. Anthony List group is going for a little shock and awe in an abortion mailer they're sending out about Barack Obama's record on the subject.The mailer shows a baby carriage on the railroad tracks. View it here. According to the group, the mailer is being sent out to "over half a million identified pro-life voters in battleground states: Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Colorado."-There has been so much grassroots efforts like this one that is sending a powerful message to many this election. No matter what the outcome of this election one of those outcomes will be more awareness and coverage and concern for the unborn!!! And if the most pro-abort president nominee in history becomes president you can bet it will continue without the aide of Big Media as it has already begun!!! And if McCain wins you can bet Roe vs Wade is on it's way to being overturned with momentum!!! Either way we know God has a plan!!!

IN THEIR OWN WORDS. Obama vs McCain speech's at each supporting organization for contrast. ADF sues Governor of Colorado and then some!!-"2.9M Hispanic Voters get Anti-Obama Email from Hispanic Bishop (English Version)-"Randall Terry says: "Bishop Gracida's radio ad is causing a massive uproar and major defection from Obama in the Catholic Community. This may be the first time in American history that an election is determined by Hispanics and a Catholic Bishop."The letter was sent in Spanish. The following text and audio clip From Catholic Bishop Rene H. Gracida was sent this morning (Friday, October 31) to 2.9 Million Hispanic Voters via email.Bishop Gracida's ad is running on radio and TV in swing states. Here is the English Translation of the Spanish text that was sent to 2.9 million Hispanic voters." Also, many more interesting stories like this one: "Why the States Did Not Prosecute Women for Abortion Before Roe v. Wade-"The political claim—that women were or will be prosecuted or jailed under abortion laws—has been made so frequently by Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and NOW over the past 40 years that it has become an urban legend."-Snope it baby!!!

Abortion Survivor, Gianna Jessen, responds to Obama's attack ad.-"Focus on the Family Action, a Colorado-based family organization, is kicking off a $500,000 radio ad buy featuring the original Gianna ad revealing Senator Obama’s voting record on born alive infant protections. See here.Gianna’s first ad will air on radio stations across Colorado and the new Gianna response ad will air on TV in Cleveland.."-And is airing in Pennsylvania from Friday till elections!!!

22 Weeks screenings-"WorldNetDaily.com has more info on 22 Weeks, including the fact a screening before Congress is planned January 22, 2009, the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision....I began writing about the death of Baby Rowan soon after it happened in 2005, having received a call from his distraught mother, who had an instant change of heart when seeing her baby.He was aborted in an Orlando, FL, abortion clinic toilet and survived for several minutes. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act should have protected him but didn't. State and federal prosecutors failed him. Clinic workers went so far as to turn away EMTs at the mill door who the mother had called to help her baby. Now a short movie has been made of that tragedy, 22 Weeks. Here's the trailer..."

US Senate candidate's graphic abortion ad airing now-"A campaign ad for IL Constitution Party US Senate candidate Chad Koppie that contains graphic images of aborted babies is scheduled to air 1x tonight during Chicago NBC News 6p hour, right before Barack Obama's 30 minute pitch..."-A video that was pulled from YouTube that actually aired just before one of Obama's infocomercials in his home political state of Illinois."-This is quite an interesting video. The video is done by a US Senate candidate and so the campaign ad could not be censored from TV and actually shows aborted babies!!! YouTube yanked the video so I reposted it in below post about Eduardo. And also the unborn get more publicity..."Coming in a newspaper near you: Hype-"I blogged in July on the movie, Hype:The Obama Effect, which includes an interview with me on Barack Obama's opposition to Born Alive.Reported the Associated Press yesterday: Readers of OH's 3 largest newspapers, along with papers in FL and NV, are finding an anti-Barack Obama DVD in editions this week. Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group based in Washington, plans to release a 95-minute film in the five swing-state publications to highlight Obama's record on abortion rights, foreign policy and his past associations.... The group said it planned to spend more than $1 million to distribute about 1.25 million copies of Hype: The Obama Effect...."

There is a pre-warning and they give you the option to click to fast forward past some graphic images of aborted babies. A must read article below concerning Eduardo endorsement and note the individual at the end of the article." And are we not getting tired of this excuse again again for not banning Partial Birth Abortion. Even though Partial Birth Abortion is banned at the Federal level at the state level it may be different. It doesn't fully make sense yet. But here is a telling article: "Court Rehears Partial–Birth Abortion Ban Case-"On Tuesday, October 28, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, whose jurisdiction includes North Carolina, held an 80–minute hearing on the constitutionality of Virginia’s partial birth abortion ban. The Partial Birth Infanticide Act was passed into law in 2003. It outlaws the abortion procedure known as partial birth abortion and carries a felony penalty of up to 10 years in prison. The law has already been struck down by a three-judge panel of the appellate Court twice since the Center for Reproductive Rights brought the suit on behalf of Richmond Medical Center. Originally, in 2005, the statute was struck down because, in the Court’s opinion, it posed an undue burden on a woman’s right to an abortion. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the similar federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 in Gonzales v. Carhart and remanded the Virginia case to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of the upheld federal statute....In September, Americans United for Life filed a legal brief in support of Virginia’s ban."-Bear in mind that no other country in the word allows this procedure but apparently some believe it poses an undue burden on a woman's right to an abortion and her Dr as in the case of Obama. In this post is the actual recorded audio of Obama arguing against a provision that would protect babies that survived an abortion. Listen to him for yourself!!!

Two leading democrats asked about Obama's position on the Born Alive Infant Protection and South Dakota abortion ban update-Some updates reports on Colorado ballot initiative to define person from conception and South Dakota ballot intiative in a tie but check out voter fraud video. Also, Biden’s Bishop says Biden has presented a “seriously erroneous” picture of church teaching on abortion-Oops!!! Over 100 Bishops Have Spoken Out on Priority of Life Issues and video responses from two leading democrats responding to concerns of Obama's Born Alive Infant Protection Act votes in Illinois. Also, U.S. birth rates up...more pro-life?-"A human rights activist and author says after years of a sagging birthrate, the U.S. has once again climbed above the all-important replacement birth rate. Steve Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, recently he completed work on his latest book -- Population Control: Real Costs, Illusionary Benefits. As previously reported by OneNewsNow, Mosher says due to years of voluntary birth control, the native European population is dying off. But he says fortunately that is not the case in the United States. "The good news is that we have now gotten back up to 2.1 children [per family], which is what you need for what is called 'replacement rate fertility'...We dropped below replacement when abortion was legalized in this country, and so for almost 40 years we've been below replacement rate fertility -- 1.8 children, 1.9, 2.0 -- and now we're back up to two-point-one."

Religion, Politics and Big Media Bias admitted by Big Media and Hollywood

Health care a civil right? Redistribution of wealth? A liberal paper endorsing McCain in a Blue State?-"Obama will REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH to his Abortion Cronies-"Obama recently told Joe the Plumber that he believes in "spreading the wealth around." If someone works hard and dreams about owning a business which employs people, Obama would punish success with higher tax rates. Obama justifies this by claiming he will help people from the "bottom up" by spreading other people's wealth around. (Note that his running mate, Joe Biden, lives in a $3 million dollar home and gave just over $3,000 to charity. They'll "help people" as long as it's not their own money.) In light of the audio clip that surfaced on October 26, 2008, where Obama said it was a "tragedy" that the Supreme Court did not pursue redistribution of the wealth, this is particularly timely....He will make YOU, the taxpayer, pay for people's abortions (he has voted for taxpayer funding for abortion in the Illinois State Senate). He will send federal tax money to foreign abortion promoters by repealing the Mexico City Policy. Will he help the poorest of the poor? No. He will give more of our money to have them aborted! He will redistribute the wealth to already rich abortion cronies. The Kansas Coalition for Life has prepared a short video (00:01:28) discussing Obama's redistribution of the wealth plans when it comes to abortion. We recommend that you pass it along to anyone who might be leaning towards voting for Obama." and check this out...Hell is Freezing Over-"This is news: one of the most liberal, left-leaning newspapers, in one of the top 5 Bluest States...has just endorsed John McCain for President: The Connecticut Post. I'll say it again: The Connecticut Post."-An excellent article to give to reason with those who lean liberal!!!

New Pastor Wright ad. Heritage calls on Obama to pull false ads. Obama's Big Money versus grassroots.-Check out a video report on Pastor Wright's house and a new campaign ad reminding the public of Obama's connection with Wright and other reports of interest concerning campaign financing and a comparison between Obama and McCain on that issue. Remembering the public that Obama broke promise to use public funding with McCain. Also, Obama called on to correct campaign ad that misrepresented them. Also, "Media bias against media bias-"Is there a media bias against media bias? Lets put it another way, is it possible that even when a member of the media elite admits to media bias that others in the media refuse to even talk about it? That question was raised recently by John Fund in his story in Political Diary. Two weeks ago there was a major conference in New York sponsored by TIME magazine and CNN. One of the speakers was Mark Halperin, an editor-at-large for TIME and co-author of the campaign field guide, "The Way to Win."During his panel discussion, Mr. Halperin was asked if the media has been too soft on Senator Barack Obama....It seems that even when someone in the media elite admits to the fact that political coverage of a campaign has been biased, other biased reporters refuse to report it."

Orson Scott Card (Democrat who is also, highly critical of the free-market and capitalism) writes a powerful argument and telling piece!!! Must read!!-"Hollywood Blasts Media Coverage of Election?-"Yesterday many television executives attended a Caucus for Producers, Writers & Directors at the Beverly Hills Hotel titled "Hollywood, America and Election '08." This would not normally be a newsworthy item to me, except for the fact that many attendees criticized the way the media has covered the presidential election." And more political stuff.

Same Sex Marriage

ABC News and Orlando Sun-Sentinel report that Obama minority black voters may help pass marriage amendments in California and Florida!!!-"In this historic presidential election year, political observers say high voter turnout for Democratic frontrunner Barack Obama — who is predicted to draw record numbers of church-going African Americans and Latinos — may spell the demise of legal gay marriage in California."-Bear in mind that California isn't going to vote McCain anyways!!! "NAACP Los Angeles President Alice Huffman Sells Out Black Families-"Campaign finance records reveal that Alice Huffman, President of the California State NAACP, the only major African American leader in California to endorse legalized gay marriage, has received nearly $200,000 from the NO on 8 campaign in “fees” through her company AC Public Affairs...African American leaders throughout California were shocked when Huffman, as a member of the NAACP Board, endorsed the No on 8 campaign despite the statewide, unified voices of African American political and religious leaders in support of traditional marriage....Trina Williams, Vice President of Inglewood’s NAACP Chapter, said today that...“Alice Huffman has used her position without support of the vast majority of African American people and interfaith leaders in our communities in Los Angeles or California. It is very disappointing and misleading to say that she is representing the African American community or the NAACP, which is and has always been passionately in support of traditional marriage and traditional families...African American voters formed the largest supportive voting block for traditional marriage when it was on the ballot in California in 2000. Political experts anticipate that the African American vote will weigh in heavily on Tuesday, November 4th, thanks to the candidacy of Barack Obama. YES on Proposition 8 expects the turnout to be very helpful to its campaign." Not only in California but in Florida the marriage amendment must pass with a 60% majority vote which is not easy. But..."Florida: “Analysts: Blacks could tilt state vote on gay marriage ban”-"The Orlando Sun-Sentinel reports: “Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy may give foes of gay marriage the edge they need to get a ban added to the state constitution. Backers of the proposal are certain Obama helps their cause, and some independent analysts and amendment foes think they’re right.” Visit:http://www.yesonmarriage.com/"-But unlike California Florida is a key state for McCain!!!
Also, in this blog:

"Calif. Prop 8 supporters raise $5 million in one week-"One week after issuing a plea for donations, supporters of a constitutional marriage amendment have surpassed their goal -- raising more than $5 million -- although it remains to be seen whether it will be enough. Frank Schubert, campaign manager for ProtectMarraige.com, the main group behind Proposition 8, sent an e-mail to in-state and out-of-state supporters Oct. 23 warning that unless the campaign raised $3 million "in the next week, we're going to lose." Since that day and through Wednesday's figures posted on the California secretary of state's website, the campaign has raised $5.2 million, bringing the total for the month to $7.45 million. The figures include only donations of $1,000 and larger. Schubert's plea came as opponents of the amendment were enjoying an influx of money from various groups. Prop 8 opponents have raised $14.68 million this month -- double what supporters have hauled in -- including $4.3 since Oct. 23. Included in that mix for October was a $1 million donation from the California Teachers Association, $1 million from the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Services Center and $100,000 from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Additionally, opponents brought in $4 million at a Hollywood fundraising event."

The Call California. Same Sex Marriage debate in California reveals hypocrisy!!-"Yes: Other side's hypocritical argument-"It is simply amazing how the "No on Prop. 8" campaign is unwilling to stand up for what it believes. For a week now the campaign has said one thing; yet it believes something else.What do I mean? Well, the "No on Prop. 8" campaign maintains that, if Proposition 8 fails, kids will not be exposed to same-sex marriage instruction in school; yet it maintains that gay marriage is a fundamental right. Huh? If gay marriage is a fundamental right, then it should be taught in school. Can you think of another fundamental right that is not taught in school?", YES ON 8 CHALLENGES SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION JACK O’CONNELL TO LIVE DEBATE-"The Protectmarriage.com – Yes on 8 campaign today challenged Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell and the No on 8 campaign to a live, televised debate this weekend so voters can learn the truth about the issue of gay marriage being taught in California public schools.", California’s fight over marriage hints at changes in the culture wars-"The Economist reports: “Proposition 8’s supporters have assembled an extraordinarily broad coalition. Although much of the campaign’s ideological heat comes from evangelicals, much of its money comes from Mormons. More donations to Protectmarriage.com, the initiative’s chief proponent, have come from Utah than from any other state except California. Orthodox Jewish synagogues have weighed in, too. It is an unusual movement indeed that unifies blacks, Mormons and orthodox Jews. It hints at how cultural conservatives might evolve to meet the challenge of an unfavourable Washington political climate in the next few years.”

Will same sex relationships be encouraged in public schools with no opt out option for parents if same-sex marriage is legal?-"New You Tube Video Clarifies Yes On 8 Proponents' Concerns: Education and Protection of Children is at Risk-"Proposition 8 preserves the rights of parents to decide what lifestyle choices are taught to their children and protects children. The absence of the words “between a man and a woman” which were deleted from our laws this past May by the California Supreme Court, has provided an opening for gay activists to force their agenda of sexual orientation education into our public schools. A new video available on http://protectmarriage.com/ and on YouTube through the following link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5qdOQ-yzFU clarifies the issues at stake.This new video shows an actual “pledge” card that 5-year olds were compelled to sign in the Faith Ringgold Elementary kindergarten last week. It commits them to protect and defend gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender relationships. Parents who challenged the teacher were not permitted to “opt out” of this instruction."
