Global Warming Swindle By Thomas Sowell Britain's Channel 4 has produced a devastating documentary titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle." It has apparently not been broadcast by any of the networks in the United States. But, fortunately, it is available on the Internet. Distinguished scientists specializing in climate and climate-related fields talk in plain English and present readily understood graphs showing what a crock the current global warming hysteria is.

PatrioyPost.us 07-12 Brief �Sure, �Scooter� Libby might go to jail. His career is in tatters, his life a shambles... But really, who is the real victim? Joe and Valerie, of course. �The golden couple targeted by White House machine,� as described by one British paper, have had to put up with so much. There�s no need to dwell on the hardships faced by former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV: that arduous junket to Niger helped along by his wife, Valerie Plame; the endless cups of sweet mint tea he had to drink; the awkwardness that his findings, as briefed to the CIA, supported President Bush�s famous �16 words� although Wilson said the exact opposite on the New York Times Op-Ed page and in 12 trillion television studios. A man of less mettle might grow frustrated with the effrontery of the Washington Post calling him a liar, a blowhard and the real destroyer of his wife�s career. Simply because it�s true hardly justifies stepping on his story line. Don�t they know he�s the author of a book, The Politics of Truth, and a winner of awards for his self-proclaimed courage for �speaking truth to power�?... Then there�s our gal Val. Oh, the price she�s paid. Almost every night, the ex-CIA officer has to see file footage of herself in that stunning white gown and those tiresome pictures of her and Joe posing in their Jaguar for Vanity Fair... Plame told Vanity Fair she spilled the beans about her CIA status after her third�or fourth!�makeout session with Joe �The Animal� Wilson. Thank goodness al-Qaida doesn�t read Vanity Fair. Not only would they find out what Plame looks like, they might discover Joe�s remarkable interrogation technique.� �Jonah Goldberg

Democrats' Budget Plan Means Higher Taxes (Americans for Tax Reform)

Family Hangs in the Balance of New Budget (Family Research Council) As you fill out this year's IRS paperwork, enjoy your family tax breaks. If the new Senate leadership has its way, they may be among your last. Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) unveiled a resolution that calls for a balanced budget by 2012. While it seems like an insurmountable task, liberals have found an easy solution. They'll simply reverse every GOP tax cut and raise an extra $900 billion in revenue. As part of the plan, Democrats would reinstate the tax penalty on married couples, causing the standard deduction for joint filers to shrink from 200 to 167 percent by 2011. Also, liberals recommend slashing the child tax credit in half, reducing it from $1,000 to $500. Although Congress has managed to whittle the death taxes down to nearly nothing under the current code, Democrats would resurrect them in four short years. Unfortunately, the tax rates would rise substantially in every bracket, even among low-income taxpayers who would be forced to pay Uncle Sam at a 15 percent rate. Under the measure, taxes on both dividends and capital gains would increase by January 2009. Although painful, this would help erase the U.S. budget deficit, right? Wrong. Reid's legislation actually increases spending for health care, education, and transportation projects. Republicans are understandably frustrated by the proposal, which could lead to the biggest tax increase in history. Families, who were finally experiencing some tax relief under President Bush, would again be forced to shoulder a heavy financial burden--not to ease American debt--but to pay for Democrats' pet programs. As Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) said, "As we [start to debate] the budget... we shouldn't begin with a plan to grow an even more massive bureaucracy on the backs of the American taxpayer."

Christian Defense Coalition to Protest $28,500 Democratic Political Fundraiser Dinner (Christian Newswire) The Christian Defense Coalition will be present with signs near the private residence where Pelosi and ten chairmen of the top House congressional committees will rub shoulders with lobbyists and other special interest donors who paid $28,500 per couple to gain face time with Pelosi and other powerful leaders in the House of Representatives.  ..."This is the height of hypocrisy," said the Reverend Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition. "The Democratic Party promised they would change the climate of corruption by the Republicans for accepting large donations from lobbyists and special interest groups. Yet, they are now participating in a fundraiser dinner for the outrageous price of $28,000.

Addressing "Hate" (A note to Christians)

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:11-14)

Who hates who? How often do you hear Christians being accused of bigotry and hate? Yet isn't this worldly claim itself dressed in bigotry and hate against Christians and their faith? Consider the verbal attacks on General Pace and Coach Dungy for their stance on homosexuality and marriage.

What do you hear when Judeo-Christian parents object to their children being taught that homosexuality is "normal?" What is said when Judeo-Christians ask why the health risks associated with this "alternative lifestyle" are not "taught" as well? What is the intent of Discovery Channel and the likes of Bill Maher, Rosie O'Donnell, Elton John, and Walter Cronkite in their anti-Christian rhetoric?

"If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:18-19

"But God commends his love (agape) toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) As Christians. we are to know no man after the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16), as Christ did while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8), for we are born again of spirit, not flesh. "The spirit of the man is the candle of the Lord, searching the inward parts of the belly." (Proverbs 20:27) - (See Trinity.)

Thus, Christians, who have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:10-16, Philippians 2:5), have compassion on the sinner while hating the sin. The natural man cannot grasp this. We judge no one, but discern and judge sin according to the Word of God.  (Hebrews 4:12-13)

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. (Psalms 97:10)

"Agape" love, or God's love cannot be grasped by the natural man. It can only be understood by the spiritual man, one who abides in Christ and Christ in him. (1 Corinthians Chapters 1 & 2, John 15)

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that doesn't believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that is truthful comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:17-21
