Christian Group Ordered to Stop Praying on a Washington, D.C. Public Sidewalk by Federal Law Enforcement Officials The group had been granted a permit by the United States Capitol Police and they were not blocking pedestrian traffic on the public sidewalk. ...Coalition Director, Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, wonders why anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint the United States Capitol Building with no consequences, while peaceful Christians were ordered to leave a public sidewalk for praying.

Alleged beating of elderly homosexual man proven false (OneNewsNow.com) Authorities in Michigan say a case last month involving the alleged fatal beating of an elderly homosexual man, which was used to promote the need for "hate crimes" legislation, was not a crime after all. A medical examiner's report confirms that the man died of natural causes.

-------

Do instances like the two above represent "a reprobate mind" as Paul described in Romans 1?

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents. Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:26-32

CAST YOUR VOTE ON OUR INSTANT POLL  Within Days Kennedy will introduce his $843 Billion Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill! Taxpayers will be paying for decades! Around 14 million illegal aliens and family will get permanent residence under Sen. Ted Kennedy's expected Illegal Alien Amnesty bill. A study projects that those 14 million will use $843 Billion more in welfare and other government services than they will pay in taxes over their lifetime. If Americans don't cry out, this measure is LIKELY TO PASS! (Analysis by Dr. Steve Camarota, Ctr. for Imm. Studies)

Life/Liberty/Family Petition to the New Congress: Mathew Staver Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel: Please forward this to your friends and ask them to take action with you on this crucial issue! Rep. John Conyers introduced a bill to add sexual orientation and gender identity to federal hate crimes legislation.

This bill would establish in our law a special classification of "hate crimes" against homosexuals, lesbians and those who have "gender identity" issues.

As a lawyer, I can tell you what this bill will lead to -- it will unleash an army of radical legal activists equipped with the power of federal law and our tax dollars on a witch hunt for so-called "hate crimes" against homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and something they call "genderqueers".

Mark my word: This bill is a giant leap towards criminalizing Christian beliefs -- and could mark a very dangerous turning point for our society.

Petition Delivery to Pelosi: I have stepped up our planned petition delivery to Congress to address this imminent threat and have asked my staff to schedule a delivery for immediately following Congress' Easter recess. Right now, we have 26,458 petitions. Based on our experience, we need at least 40,000 petitions to really make an impact on Capitol Hill. Please forward this message to your friends and ask them to sign this important petition here: http://www.libertyaction.org/284/petition.asp?PID=12469702

Stop tax funding of Planned Parenthood's abortion machines Ever since last November's elections, which resulted in a pro-abortion leadership in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, national abortion groups have boldly pushed an agenda of death - forcing taxpayers to pay for it! In 2005 Planned Parenthood got $272 million in our taxes, twice the money it made from its 255,000 abortions that year. Since 1987 Planned Parenthood has taken in $3.2 billion in taxpayer funds for its deadly agenda. 

Now these groups want even more taxpayer funding for their death march. Just last Friday, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) sent a letter to her Senate colleagues asking for a boost of $100 million, specifically for Planned Parenthood clinics!

Even more reprehensible are the attacks on legitimate women's clinics, pregnancy care centers (PCCs), which protect the health of both the mother and the unborn child. Planned Parenthood and NARAL want to close these pregnancy care centers down. Currently, legislation in Oregon blatantly lists NARAL and Planned Parenthood as co-sponsors of a bill that targets pregnancy care centers for closure. We must send a message to these abortion profiteers that we've had enough!

Please e-mail the Oregon legislature and ask them to stop this taxpayer-funded, pro-abortion vendetta against legitimate clinics that help women in a time of need.

War on Terror - (Radical Islam?)

Hypocrisy for political power? (Glenn Beck - CNN Headline News)

Sen. Harry Reid - May 2005: "As far as setting a timeline, as we learned in the Balkans, that's not a wise decision, because it only empowers those who don't want us there, and it doesn't work well to do that."

Sen. Joseph Biden - 2005: "A deadline for pulling out...will only encourage our enemies to wait us out."

Sen. Hillary Clinton - Sept. 2005: "I don't believe it's smart to set a date for withdrawal. I don't think you should ever tlegraph your intensions to the enemy so they can wait you out."

More blatant examples of past liberal Democrat hypocrisy:

Congress to Iran: You Are Free To Do Anything With No American Reprisal (Family Security Matters)

Call Me Infidel A shocking new documentary is calling attention to the very real threat of terror attacks against the U.S. It's called, Obsession: Radical Islam's War against the West. Canadian film-maker Raphael Shore produced the movie. He believes that Americans and Westerners must comprehend how radical Muslims view this war. "'Obsession' is an attempt to reveal and educate the American public on what the aims, the goals and the strategies of the radical Islamists are," Shore said.

The John Doe Manifesto Michelle Malkin - Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist, You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours. I am John Doe. I will never forget the example of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.

How America Can Defeat Jihad By Erick Stakelbeck CBN News (CBNNews.com) - Before 9/11, many Americans had never heard the term "jihad." Now, from Iraq to Afghanistan and beyond, the U.S. is locked in a life-or-death struggle against jihadist forces. But what drives this ideology bent on the destruction of America and the West? In the war on terror, do Americans really know who we're fighting? The term "Islamic radical" doesn't tell the whole story. Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas - the names are familiar, but what do they stand for? Even some of our elected officials have had trouble answering that question.

Election 2008 - (Voting Resources)

Newspaper Casts Doubts on Obama's Life Story; TV Nets Ignore It  (Media Research Council) There's been no shortage of flattering network stories about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. This weekend, however, the Chicago Tribune published a long investigative story about Obama's youth, discovering that the story of his own life that Obama presented in his memoir is sometimes at odds with the facts. "Several of his oft-recited stories may not have happened in the way he has recounted them," the Tribune's Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker reported in Sunday's article, "The not-so-simple story of Barack Obama's youth." The Tribune reporters retraced the years young "Barry Obama" spent in Hawaii and Indonesia, and found several discrepancies in Obama's autobiographical accounts. But the broadcast networks ignored it on Sunday and Monday. On the networks' Sunday morning chat shows, the only mention of Obama came from NBC's Tim Russert, who asked ex-Senator Bill Bradley, "Do you think Barack Obama is someone who has tapped into idealism in our country?"

Conservative Exodus Project Underway On March 3, 2007 a group of traditionalist conservatives, realizing that the GOP is moving too leftward, created the Conservative Exodus Project, which includes a petition to encourage conservatives to leave the GOP if a conservative presidential candidate is not chosen in 2008. The Conservative Exodus Project stresses these five points:

(1) They oppose the third-world invasion of the United States, and reject amnesty and any path to citizenship for illegals. They support deportation, attrition, and massive reductions in legal immigration, especially from the third world.

(2) They oppose free trade, the support of which has become an ideological suicide pact. Free trade is both destroying our economy and undermining our sovereignty. Historically, conservatives have opposed free trade, and they should, but many in the GOP have been "neoconned" on this issue.

(3) They support a moral candidate, critical of secularism, who embodies the virtues of the Christian Western tradition.

(4) They oppose the illegal neocon war in Iraq. The transformation of the Middle East to liberal democracy is Jacobin, not conservative.

(5) They wish to see big government reduced in size - in all three branches - and for many offices and functions to be returned to the states, where they Constitutionally belong.

Gays Die Sooner: Implications for Adoption (Christian Newswire) "The life span of gays is 20- plus years shorter than the life span of heterosexuals," states Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank. "This shortened lifespan," he warned, "has profound implications for adoption. On average, in Norway and Denmark -- where same-sex marriage is legal � married lesbians lived to age 56 and married gay men to age 52. So the chances that a gay-adopted child will lose one or both parents before graduating from high school are much greater than they would be with a married man and woman."

Discrimination Doesn't Drive Gays to an Early Grave (Christian Newswire) Dr. Paul Cameron, of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank, said "there was essentially no difference between the average age of death for homosexuals in accepting societies � Norway and Denmark � and the United States, which, according to gay rights activists, is still "a homophobic society" since it still bans them from the military and giving blood. Canada's census bureau also registered a sharp decline in the numbers of gays in old age."

She then expressed the opinion that "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America." Accepting the award for Rosie O'Donnell was Pat Sajak

Why liberals get it wrong (on nearly everything! Kevin McCullough - Given the chance to do what is right, liberals will consistently choose otherwise. They do so because they adopt a worldview that is based on "what feels good." They follow impulses instead of moral standards. And they seem to cheer for our enemies instead of our allies. Which when you think of it seems to be a defining characteristic of someone who has lost their mind. This week was replete with perfect examples: ...

Most Don't Believe in Hell The latest research from Barna Associates shows that only 32 percent of adults see hell as, "an actual place of torment and suffering.

Christ depicting hell: For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if your hand offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched. And if your foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched. And if your eye offends you, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, how will you season sacrifice? You have salt in yourselves, and you must have peace one with another. Mark 9:41-50
