Catching up....

The War on Terror (or otherwise known by those living in a "politically correct" make believe land of theory, that Muslims "insurgents" - not terrorists - are justified by their hatred of Israel and America.)

President John F. Kennedy - In his inaugural address said: "The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans—ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country...Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." Also: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."- In a speech to have been given November 22, 1963 These words were written by President John F. Kennedy that was to be delivered in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy never delivered the speech, but his written thoughts remain. "We in this country, in this generation, are by destiny rather than choice the watchman on the walls of world freedom. We ask therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, goodwill toward men. That must always be our goal. For as was written long ago, 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'"

Commentary

"Is Islam Strong Enough to Handle Freedom? Are We?" by John C. Rankin (Also at Breakpoint at http://www.breakpoint.org/listingarticle.asp?ID=2754)

Hezbollah Is Here By Michelle Malkin - Sheeple thought of the day: "Hezbollah is not my problem." You think Hezbollah is only Israel's headache? Wake up.

Terror sounding board to Americans: 'Vote Democratic' - Santorum speech on Islamofacists: A turning point in defining the enemy? by Wes Vernon Every American should know the enemy. That is basic. And so it was in that spirit that the two-term senator warned, "[E]very major Islamic fascist leader, from heads of state to heads of al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, has openly identified the United States as their prime target, and repeatedly promises the creation of a new global 'caliphate' where Islamic fascism will rule mankind. This language comes from Sunni and Shi'ite fanatics, whether Arab, Persian, Indonesian, American, or British."

A military draft? by Thomas Sowell - There was a time when most members of Congress had served in the military, as had many people in the media. Today that is no longer true -- and it shows in many ways.

The Clintons' War on Gun Rights By Tom Fitton What kind of President will Hillary Clinton make?

Issues in Education Quoting from Ronald Reagan’s August 23, 1984 speech, Issues in Education host Bob Boyd agrees, “Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” Bob goes on to say, “Government schools have forgotten God. Across America school children are being exposed to ungodly forms of relationships, evolution, and hatred towards the values and morals of the God of the Bible.” In an effort to alert Christian parents to the dangers of government sponsored schools, Bob and Geri Boyd host a national radio ministry called Issues in Education. Their program airs weekly on over 500 radio stations nationwide featuring Christian authors and leaders who are helping parents discover the blessings of a Christian worldview home education. Denise Kanter with Considering Homeschooling Ministry joined Bob and Geri Boyd last week to discuss why it is important to homeschool in today’s culture.

DNC Hatches Plan to Combat State-Marriage Initiatives - Gay publication reveals secret strategy. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is weighing in on state marriage-protection amendment fights around the country. The nation's oldest political party has reportedly developed a five-point plan to fight ballot initiatives. The plan's existence was leaked by The Washington Blade, a pro-homosexual newspaper, that quoted a DNC spokesman last Friday saying there is a "five-point-plan."

        Specifically, the Blade reported that Democrats would:

• Label marriage amendments as "divisive ploys by Republicans" undertaken "to deflect voter attention from other important issues."  
• Train party operatives in all 50 states on how to campaign against marriage-protection ballot measures.  
• Develop strategy and talking points.  
• Work with campaign organizations fighting ballot measures.  
• Empower and organize homosexual communities nationwide, through the auspices of DNC's gay-outreach efforts.

Book from EarsToHear.net - While conservative activists, columnists, and politicians continue to work to convince those on the secular left through worldly understanding and wisdom, have Christians lost sight of their higher calling? Christians are called to be "salt" and "Light" and to "reprove" (not judge) the world of sin, yet, this author wants to remind Christians to seek "first" the Kingdom of God for the harvest is truly great. The power of God DOES NOT follow the Christian - the power of God follows the preaching of His Word and His Kingdom.
