Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness... Matthew 6 (We are to personally and individually seek FIRST the Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness ahead of all else including self and politics. This does not mean however we are to hide our Light or refrain from "reproving the world of sin." Imagine if the Christians who created our Republic did so.)

Prophecies Currently Being Fulfilled - We are living in exciting times when we can witness Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes. Many of these prophecies relate to the Jewish people and their nation. Below is a summary of prophecies concerning the Jews that are currently being fulfilled and those that are yet to be fulfilled.

Massachusetts Referendum Petition to force statewide vote on Legislature's repeal of "1913 Law" underway - Information, to get started collecting signatures! Download forms, instructions, summary of the issue, and other information.

Signature drive hits the streets across Massachusetts! Citizens at street corners, churches, supermarkets to stop repeal of marriage law for out-of-state residents. Gay lobby unable to intimidate this time. People across Massachusetts are fighting back! Starting last week people from one end of the Commonwealth to the other have been at street corners, churches, supermarkets, post offices and even gone door-to-door getting signatures for the Referendum Petition! (And we're still backlogged in getting back to people who have asked for forms.)

The early returns are very good. One woman in Gardner collected over 250 signatures almost immediately. She called again and said she has a hundred more. People are signing. Several gatherers have already asked us to send them more sheets. (The Secretary of State supplied us with several thousand petition sheets -- so we're not running short yet!)

It's not hard to get upset about the Legislature's action. Even though 44 states voted for anti-gay "marriage" legislation, our Legislature repealed Massachusetts marriage statutes to let homosexual couples come here from other states, get "married", and then go to their home states and cause legal havoc under the US Constitution's "full faith and credit" clause. This was done to please a small but powerful special interest push group their social experiment into other states against the will of their residents. MassResistance handout on why we're doing the Referendum But also, the gay-marriage issue opens the door for pushing a whole range of "same-sex families" indoctrination into public schools in other states (and courts supporting that, as has happened here).

This is a very important fight. It can affect the entire country! And doing this makes a huge statement to our Legislature that the citizens of Massachusetts aren't just sitting back and taking it. As you know, if we get the signatures (minimum 32,900) by Oct. 15, this goes on the statewide ballot and the Legislature CAN'T stop a vote from happening!

If you're out of state, you can really help by donating money. A long time donor, Mark, called us up with a offer. He wants to help MassResistance. He'll donate $500 if others match it with their own $500 donations. He wants to see how many of these matching $500 donations we can get in two weeks. Will you take him up on it? Will you donate $500 or more? THIS is an investment worth making. Let's see how many we can get!!

Petition: Join 71,366 Citizens Who Are Demanding Truth This Election! The liberal media have continued in their aggressive pattern of biased reporting that threatens the objectivity of this year’s elections. The Media Research Center -- America’s Media Watchdog -- has carefully documented the liberal media’s lack of objectivity in reporting on the events surrounding this year’s election. To offset this media bias, MRC has launched an unprecedented effort to rally grassroots activists who are demanding that the media “Tell The Truth” this election cycle. Unless citizens stand up, the liberal media could well sway the 2008 Election. Take a stand with tens of thousands who are demanding that the media “Tell The Truth” in this election.

News and commentary (News & Commentary)

Kathleen Parker, Syndicated Columnist, On Feminism and Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin: "Should Palin and McCain prevail come November, feminism can curtsy and treat herself to a hard-earned vacation. The greatest achievement of feminism won't be that a woman reached the vice presidency, but that a woman no longer needed feminists to get there."

Bristol Palin is not Juno, but Bella Deal W. Hudson - I was told this evening that some TV pundit called Bristol Palin's pregnancy the Republican's "Juno." Nope, it the GOP's "Bella." Bristol's situation will serve to strenghten, rather than diminish, the pro-life commitments of the entire Palin family.

Iranian TV goes ga-ga over Obama Heaps praise on Democrats while blasting 'absentminded' McCain, 'inexperienced' Palin

JFK: Democrats' Role Model? by Larry Elder - Kennedy supported, in today's lexicon, a George W. Bush-like "belligerent" approach to fighting the Cold War, and told CBS' Walter Cronkite it would be "a great mistake" to withdraw the American presence from Vietnam. In his 1961 inaugural speech, Kennedy said, "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."
...Barack Obama likes to point to the 1961 Kennedy-Khrushchev summit to support his desire for meetings "without preconditions" with enemies such as Iran and North Korea. But Kennedy's secretary of State, Dean Rusk, urged against such a non-conditions-based summit. And later, Kennedy called the summit meeting the "roughest thing in my life. (Khrushchev) just beat the hell out of me. I've got a terrible problem if he thinks I'm inexperienced and have no guts."
...In a televised national address just two months before his assassination, Kennedy broke it down: "A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget. Every taxpayer and his family will have more money left over after taxes for a new car, a new home, new conveniences, education and investment. Every businessman can keep a higher percentage of his profits in his cash register or put it to work expanding or improving his business, and as the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues."
...Kennedy, unlike Obama, opposed race-based preferences. In a 1963 interview, Kennedy expected blacks to resist a call for preferential treatment: "The Negro community did not want job quotas to compensate for past discrimination. What I think they would like is to see their children well educated, so that they could hold jobs
… and have themselves accepted as equal members of the community. … I don't think we can undo the past. In fact, the past is going to be with us for a good many years in uneducated men and women who lost their chance for a decent education. We have to do the best we can now. That is what we are trying to do."
..."I think it is a mistake to begin to assign quotas on the basis of religion or race -- color -- nationality. … On the other hand, I do think that we ought to make an effort to give a fair chance to everyone who is qualified -- not through a quota -- but just look over our employment rolls, look over our areas where we are hiring people and at least make sure we are giving everyone a fair chance. But not hard and fast quotas. … We are too mixed, this society of ours, to begin to divide ourselves on the basis of race or color." So when the haze disappears, what remains? A man of limited government, low taxes and strong national defense who rejected a government-led redistribution of wealth. In other words, someone who would today fit very comfortably in the party -- the Republican Party.

Calvin Coolidge - "We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character. We do not need more government, we need more culture. We do not need more law, we need more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen. If the foundation be firm, the foundation will stand."

Consider these issues and it will become blatantly obvious what Biblical moral virtue each candidate possess: Abortions, God's design of marriage, unequal, unnatural Rights, Second Amendment, "living" Constitution, U.S. sovereignty and noble power, War on Terror, Border, Illegal Immigration, Unions, NEA and government-run education, taxes, "sustainable development." government-run health care...a government that takes the place of God, a continuously growing government requiring continuously more taxes on non-government employees to fund....

"Society’s demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases" John Adams

Miss a speech? Go to C-Span. (EarsToHear.net recommends at least the RNC speeches of Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani.) “Now our opponents tell you not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they are not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax ‘businesses.’ So unless you buy something from a ‘business,’ like groceries or clothes or gasoline... or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small ‘business,’ don’t worry... it’s not going to affect you. They say they are not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the ‘other’ side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.” Fred Thompson

Defeating Democrats and Terrorists by A.W.R. Hawkins - In a crucial portion of his speech, Rudy told us that Obama has provided no reason for us to believe he is capable of leading this nation. According to Rudy, while Obama was in the Illinois State Legislature, there were “nearly 130 times [when] he was unable to make a decision yes or no. He simply voted ‘present.’” Such indecision does not befit a man who wants to persuade people to give him the keys to the highest office in the land. Or to put it as Rudy did: “For a president of the United States it’s not good enough to be present, you have to make a decision.”

Mike Huckabee: John McCain doesn’t want the kind of change that allows the government to reach even deeper into your paycheck and pick your pocket, your doctor, your child’s school, or even the kind of car you drive, or tell you how much you have to inflate your tires. ...Let me make something clear tonight: I’m not a Republican because I grew up rich. I’m a Republican because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me.

Rudy Giuliani: We agree with Joe Biden. Tough times require strong leadership, and this is no time for on-the-job training. Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.

Video: Analysis of Palin Speech (22m30s) The Brody File appeared on the 11pm version of The 700 Club Wednesday night live from the Xcel Center. Watch my analysis on Sarah Palin's speech. - I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening. We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco. ...Barack Obama has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the State Senate. This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word “victory,” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed... when the roar of the crowd fades away... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot—what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger... take more of your money... give you more orders from Washington... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.

John McCain: I’m very proud to have introduced our next vice president to the country, but I can’t wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me just offer an advance warning to the old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country-second crowd: Change is coming. ...We need to change the way government does almost everything: from the way we protect our security to the way we compete in the world economy; from the way we respond to disasters to the way we fuel our transportation network; from the way we train our workers to the way we educate our children. ...I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party. We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us. We lost the trust of the American people when rather than reform government, both parties made it bigger. We lost their trust when we valued our power over our principles. We’re going to change that. We’re going to recover the people’s trust by standing up again to the values Americans admire. ...We believe in low taxes, spending discipline, and open markets. We believe in rewarding hard work and risk-takers and letting people keep the fruits of their labor. We believe in a strong defense, work, faith, service, a culture of life, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and judges who dispense justice impartially and don’t legislate from the bench. ...Education is the civil rights issue of this century. Equal access to public education has been gained, but what is the value of access to a failing school? We need to shake up failed school bureaucracies with competition, empower parents with choice. Parents deserve a choice in the education of their children, and I intend to give it to them. Sen. Obama wants our schools to answer to unions and entrenched bureaucrats. I want schools to answer to parents and students, and when I’m president, they will. ...I’m not running for president because I think I’m blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God.

Welcome Back, Dad by Michael Reagan - I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong!
...Obviously un-intimidated by either the savage onslaught to which the left-leaning media had subjected her, or the incredible challenge she faced -- and oozing with confidence -- she strode defiantly to the podium and proved she was everything and even more than John McCain told us.
...In a few words she managed to rip the mask from the faces of her Democratic rivals and reveal them for what they are -- a pair of old-fashioned liberals making promises that cannot be kept without bankrupting the nation and reducing most Americans to the status of mendicants begging for their daily bread at the feet of an all-powerful government. Most important, by comparing her own stunning record of achievement with his, she showed Barack Obama for the sham that he is, a man without any solid accomplishments beyond conspicuous self-aggrandizement.
...As hard as you might try, you won't find that kind of plain-spoken, down-to-earth, self-reliant American in the upper ranks of the liberal-infested, elitist Democratic Party, or in the Obama campaign. Sarah Palin didn't go to Harvard, or fiddle around in urban neighborhood leftist activism while engaging in opportunism within the ranks of one of the nation's most corrupt political machines, never challenging it and going along to get along, like Barack Obama. Instead she took on the corrupt establishment in Alaska and beat it, rising to the governorship while bringing reforms to every level of government she served in on her way up the ladder.

Why Obama's "Community Organizer" Days Are a Joke by Michelle Malkin - "Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed. Let's clarify something for them right now. Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies."

Let me clarify something. Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors' lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Obama's brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan nonprofits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.

What deserves derision is "community organizing" that relies on a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.

As I've reported previously, Obama's community organizing days involved training grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics (which they dub "direct actions"); Obama supporters have recounted his role in organizing an ambush on a government planning meeting about a landfill project opposed by Chicago's minority lobbies.

With benefactors like Obama in office, ACORN has milked nearly four decades of government subsidies to prop up chapters that promote the welfare state and undermine the free market, as well as some that have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and voter fraud. Since I last detailed ACORN's illicit activities in this column in June (see "The ACORN Obama knows," June 19, 2008), the group continues to garner scrutiny from law enforcement:

It was revealed recently that Biden’s son Hunter was acting as a consultant to MBNA Corporation, one of the nation’s largest credit card companies, during the legislative push to make it more difficult for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection. Biden was one of the key Democrats supporting a Republican bill to tighten bankruptcy rules at that time, an effort that ironically often found him at odds with freshman Senator Barack Obama. The Obama campaign has acknowledged Hunter’s lobbying for the company that was supporting the bill that Hunter’s father eventually helped push through the Senate, but they maintain there was no impropriety. That’s a tough statement to accept considering that MBNA is also Biden’s single largest campaign contributor, having given him more than $214,000 over the years. Hunter and Biden’s brother James are also involved in two lawsuits brought about by a former business colleague who claims they defrauded him in a hedge fund partnership that went sour. Funny, but the mainstream media seems to be far more fixated on Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter than Joe Biden’s ethically challenged family.

Top Three Election Issues for Active Christians While it may appear in the media that gender, race, and teen pregnancy are the top issues in the 2008 presidential election, a new poll by Christianity Today International's NationalChristianPoll.com says Active Christians* are still concerned about economy and national security. Active Christians registered their three top election issues for both presidential candidates in the recent poll. Healthcare (78%), economy 77%, and war (76%) are the top issues for those who will vote for Obama, while abortion (73%), moral issues (70%), and terrorism (68%) top the issues for those who will vote for McCain.

Gay Republicans endorse McCain By Ed Stoddard for Reuters - The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain’s bid for the presidency on Tuesday, four years after the gay Republican group refused to back President George W. Bush’s bid for reelection. The endorsement may boost McCain’s reputation as a maverick who reaches across partisan lines, but it may not go down well with his party’s conservative Christian base. “Sen. McCain is no George Bush when it comes to gay issues. We are much more optimistic and enthusiastic about Sen. McCain,” Patrick Sammon, the group’s president, told Reuters.

Where's NOW now? Monica Crowley, Ph.D. - And then there is McCain's new running mate, the Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. The fact that Democrats are jumping all over her (albeit haltingly because they aren't sure exactly HOW to attack her), tells you how worried they are. She's a tax-cutting, pro-drilling, environmentalist, gun-toting, ice-fishing, hockey-playing, pro-life mom of five, with a son about to be deployed to Iraq. She's one incredibly relatable person. Cool, too.

Christian Defense Coalition Rips the Media for Sexism, Bias and Tabloid Journalism in Coverage of Governor Palin's Daughter's Pregnancy - For two days major media outlets have featured the story of Governor Palin's pregnant daughter on the front pages and leading the broadcast news, even though her pregnancy has nothing to do with the upcoming Presidential election or the Governor's policy views. The Coalition wonders if the New York Times and the Washington Post will now begin to feature front page stories on what Britney Spears is wearing to the VMA's or is Jennifer Aniston really sporting a small "baby bump?" The group also wants to remind the press that there was not this kind of hysteria when:
• Senator John Edwards had an affair while his wife was dying with cancer.
• President Bill Clinton sexually manipulated a 19 year old intern while she performed sex acts with him in the Oval Office during official state business.
• Senator Obama admitted to using cocaine and other drugs.
• Senator Biden plagiarized speeches and exaggerated his college career and had to withdraw from the 1988 Presidential race in disgrace.

Foreign Policy "Experience" by Thomas Sowell - Now that the Democrats have recovered from the shock of Governor Sarah Palin's nomination as the Republican's candidate for vice president, they have suddenly discovered that her lack of experience in general-- and foreign policy experience in particular-- is a terrible danger in someone just a heartbeat away from being President of the United States. For those who are satisfied with talking points, there is no need to go any further. But, for those who still consider substance relevant, this is an incredible argument coming from those whose presidential candidate has even less experience in public office than Sarah Palin, and none in foreign policy. ...But the big talking point is that the Democrats' vice-presidential nominee, Senator Joe Biden, has years of foreign policy experience as a member, and now chairman, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. That all depends on what the definition of "experience" is. Before getting into that, however, a plain fact should be noted: No governor ever had foreign policy experience before becoming president-- not Ronald Reagan, not Franklin D. Roosevelt, nor any other governor. ...Out of the four presidential and vice-presidential candidates this year, only Governor Palin has had to make executive decisions and live with the consequences. As for Senator Obama, his various pronouncements on foreign policy have been as immature as they have been presumptuous. ...Barack Obama's first response to the Russian invasion of Georgia was to urge "all sides" to negotiate a cease-fire and take their issues to the United Nations. That is standard liberal talk, which even Obama had second thoughts about, after Senator John McCain gave a more grown-up response

Sarah Palin's Pioneering Streak by Maggie Gallagher - Forget about Gov. Sarah Palin. Seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin is better qualified than Barack Obama to be president of the United States in at least one respect: Figuring out when a baby gets human rights is apparently not above her pay grade. ...Here's the larger message of the Sarah Palin story: Life is messy. First things first: Take care of your babies. You do what you have to do, and deep down you never give up on life. You refuse to choose. The unexpected will happen, but that's OK -- you can deal with it. You are resilient, optimistic, competent and caring.

Dear Senate Majority Leader Reid (June 23, 2008), with those five words, Alaska governor Sarah Palin threw the gauntlet down at the feet of the Democratic Congress. Governor Palin hits Senator Reid right between the eyes: ...With appropriate stipulations, oil exploration and development in the OCS can be conducted in a safe manner. Uplands development can be accomplished even more safely. Advanced technologies, such as directional drilling and the re-injection of oil wastes, ensure that the footprint of development would be less than 2,000 acres (approximately one-quarter of the size of Dulles Airport).

Who's Being Hypocritical? by David Limbaugh - Liberals are outraged at the supposed hypocrisy of Sarah Palin (and conservatives) for supporting abstinence-only education and family values generally in light of revelations concerning the pregnancy of her teenage daughter. It's only fair, then, that they should be called upon to explain their own hypocrisy in the compassion, privacy, gender and race departments. Liberals are sick and tired of conservatives lecturing them about family values. Yet it is liberals who do most of the moralizing and sermonizing, seeming to derive their entire sense of superior self-worth in favorably comparing themselves with heartless, bigoted conservatives. Liberals claim a monopoly on compassion for the poor, minorities, women and homosexuals. Yet when they get the chance to score political points, they abandon their allegiance to these groups as quickly as Barack Obama threw the Rev. Jeremiah Wright under the bus. Just ask Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice or Michael Steele.

Richard Viguerie: 'Cranky Conservatives' are Responsible for Sarah Palin Pick; Conservatives Who Kept Silent Deserve no Credit for Selection that Saved the GOP Conservatives who refused to fall in line behind the Republican Party--who maintained their independence, at the price of being ridiculed as "cranky" or "impossible to please"--are the ones responsible for John McCain's brilliant, game-changing selection of Sarah Palin, Richard A. Viguerie said. "Those who backed John McCain as the 'lesser of two evils' did no favors to themselves, their movement, or to Senator McCain," said Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com. "He needed to know what conservatives really thought, and he needed to know what had to be done to get conservatives enthusiastically on board his campaign.

The Best Man Turned Out To Be A Woman Ann coulter -They claimed Palin was chosen only because she's a woman. In fact, Palin was chosen because she's pro-life, pro-gun, pro-drilling and pro-tax cuts. She's fought both Republicans and Democrats on public corruption and does not have hair plugs like some other vice presidential candidate I could mention. In other words, she's a "Republican." As a right-winger, Palin will appeal to the narrow 59 percent of Americans who voted for another former small-market sportscaster: Ronald Reagan. Our motto: Sarah Palin is only a heartbeat away! ...The media hysterically denounced Palin as "inexperienced." But then people started to notice that she has more executive experience than B. Hussein Obama -- the guy at the top of the Democrats' ticket. ...While the difficult circumstances of Palin's pregnant daughter are being covered like a terrorist attack on the nation, with leering accounts of the 18-year-old father, the media remain resolutely uninterested in the parentage of Edwards' mistress's love child. Except, that is, the hardworking reporters at the National Enquirer, who say Edwards is the father. As this goes to press, the latest media-invented scandal about Palin is that McCain didn't know her well before choosing her as his running mate. He knew her well enough, though admittedly, not as well as Obama knows William Ayers.

Obama Had Close Ties to Advisor of Saudi Billionaire In a special report for Newsmax, Kenneth Timmerman reports that a leading African American businessman has disclosed new details of Obama's ties to a radical Muslim. The businessman has revealed that as early as age 25 Obama was backed by an advisor to the Saudis for entry into Harvard Law School. (See the 3m7s Video Clip at the Bottom of Article)

'Puff, the Magic Obama!' Chuck Norris - As I listened to Obama's speech, which mentioned "change" roughly 15 times, I thought, "I wonder how many of those 80,000 in attendance (and millions more watching on television) realize what type of change is really coming with Obama?" I'm not saying that change isn't needed. It is. I want changes in government, but not the type that will increase its role in our lives. I want changes with the goal to better adhere to the Constitution, but not the type that appoints liberal judges and justices who legislate from the bench. I want changes regarding America's relations with the rest of the world, but not the type that further compromises our national security. I want changes regarding America's role in the Middle East, but not the type that creates instability and gives al-Qaida the upper hand again. I want changes to our medical care, but I don't want more big government and billions of dollars in new taxes. I want changes regarding America's deficit, but not the type that increases it. I want changes at America's borders, but not the type that creates more holes for terrorists and other illegal transport. I desperately want changes in the tax code, but not ones that ultimately raise taxes. (Only a "fair tax" eliminates most.) But all those types of changes are exactly what Americans will experience if we elect Barack Obama to be president.

A Republican Revival By Mark Alexander - As for the Republicans, at their convention they outlined a vision for America that has a strong record of success. And make no mistake: In the next eight years, the McCain-Palin ticket has the potential to restore more than the conservative losses of the last eight years. This ticket has the potential to revive the Reagan Revolution, and I do not deliver such lofty declarations flippantly.

Indoctrination: "Mainstream" Media & Education? - (Education?) The good, the bad, and the ugly...Without a Heritage every generation starts over Will our descendants know moral virtue? The primary responsibility of education DOES NOT belong to schools. (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)

"A trained intelligence can do much, but there is no substitute for morality, character and religious conviction." President Calvin Coolidge

"Knowledge unenlightened by the truth of God is dark knowledge. We may have a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D., but without the Lord all we have is dark information. It may help navigate us in the world of darkness, but by itself will never lead us to the truth. Apart from the revelation of the Spirit of God, none of us could ever find our way into the light. Darkly educated people are like those whom Paul described to his young protégé', Timothy, as 'always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.'" (2 Timothy 3:7) Rediscovering the Kingdom by Myles Munroe

Homosexual/Bisexual/Transgender Journalist Conference Confirms Anti-Christian Bias - One homosexual activist claimed that religion is the biggest obstacle to the homosexual agenda. Liberal media bias is well-known among conservatives. However, what most Americans don’t fully understand is the extent of homosexual-inspired biased reporting in the so-called mainstream media and anti-Christian bigotry.

Jon Voight: MSNBC Exemplifies Media That’s ‘A Platform’ for Democratic Left Minneapolis (CNSNews.com) - Actor Jon Voight told CNSNews.com yesterday that MSNBC is an example of a media outlet that has “no objectivity at all” and is “just a platform for … the left of the Democratic Party.”

Network News Anchors Shocked at Bias Charge: We're Professionals! By Scott Whitlock - All three network news anchors appeared together on each of the morning shows on Thursday and blithely dismissed the notion that members of the media have shown bias and sexist attitudes in response to Sarah Palin's nomination for vice president.

"Politically Correct" - (Politically Correct with PC dictionary) Examples and results of Political Correctness which means using unrighteous deception which lack Biblical Moral Virtue. Remove the Light (Jesus) and darkness (politically correct secular humanism) inevitably ensues.

First corrupt their young minds, then subject their health to the "natural" results of that corruption (as politicians, school administrators, judges, and worse, parents appease because of "political correctness.")

NY judge rejects bid to halt same-sex marriage recognition A judge has thrown out the first direct legal challenge to the New York governor's move to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, calling the policy a legally allowable stand for fairness.

Eight suspects were in custody yesterday in the Baja California capital of Mexicali after state agents caught them working on a clandestine cross-border tunnel that had an elevator, lighting and ventilation.
