Democrats Going Down

, , , ...

Gary Varvel Cartoon
The Donkey is going to get it anyway. The Donkey is in self a destructing mode. And to think of all the folks that I heard who voted Democrat were feeling victorious and gloating at this time last year! There was a presumption that the Democrats were at the beginning of their infinity. Read about Democrat in house fighting here. Go here to read about a poll on Democrat voters souring on Democrat leadership. Quite interesting, since this poll is coming from NBC which is known as the Obama Network!

Any Democrats Really Against Federally Funded Abortion?

, , , ...

There are Democrats against abortion! Well I knew that. I live with some. There are some Democrats rising up in objection to the funds in the proposed health care bill to pay for abortion on demand. There are about 40 congressional House Democrats including Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich) who will side with Republicans and prevent the health-care bill from coming to the floor for a vote if an amendment with language similar to the Hyde Amendment which did not allow federal funded abortions is not allowed.

Democrats and Speaker Pelosi are not happy with Rep. Stupak, who is adamant about taxpayers not paying for abortions. Rep. Stupak who is the Energy and Commerce subcommittee chairman wants a vote on the House floor to strike language on federal funds paying for abortion. Otherwise Rep. Stupak desires health care reform. He has been working with Democrat leaders, but have yet to come to an agreement over the abortion issue. He has been on C-SPAN and I saw him on Fox and Friends stating his case against funding abortion on demand in the health care bill. Read more here and/or here.

Rep Stupak says,"This is who I am. It's reflective of my district. If it costs me my seat, so be it."

Now, I have found out that Rep. Stupak has been caught telling folks in a town hall meeting that he will go along with abortion i.e federally funded abortion on demand in the health care bill. Read all about that here. The video in the link of his go along with abortion in the health care bill statement has been removed.

What is believable? I guess we will have to wait and see if Rep. Bart Stupak will eventually fall into place, be a good Democrat, hold down the party line and turn his head the other way on the abortion issue with the health care bill. Personally, I hope what I have seen of him on the these news programs is the real deal.

Mason Weaver's Response to Current Racism Charges

, , , ...

Listen to Mason Weaver (who will be running for Congress) on the race issue from a Maureen Dowd column and former Pres. Jimmy Carter's comments over Rep. Wilson's, "You lie" outburst. Of course racism still exist and you have to know that valid and invalid racism claims will abound with the first black president. Emotions! Emotions! Emotions! I have heard a few people screaming that the country is more racist than ever. You have to ask how did we get a black man as president then!

What is left of racism in this country, does not have the iota of power that it once had. Who is really held down because of it? Liberal thinkers be forewarned, because Mason Weaver just might set off your blood pressure. I share his mindset.



He Had to Go and He is Gone

, , , ...

I wonder who in the Obama administration finally told Van Jones to get going (even though there are denials to such)! His previous negative/disgusting comments about white kids at Columbine, Republicans and his truther actions were ridiculous. Pres. Obama had ran a presidential campaign that was so finely tuned that he received accolades from the Republican opposition. When it comes to vetting folks, that successful brain power that was behind the campaigning is practically nowhere to be found. How did they come up with Van Jones to be the environmentally green czar? He really needed to go and he is gone.

When the White House issued a statement backing Mr. Jones, I knew it was just a matter of time before he he would be gone. Remember former Pres. Bush and Michael Brown with the handling of Katrina? Bush said he was doing a good job and a short time later, Michael Brown was gone. Van Jones went faster after the White House support statement than Mr. Brown!


Hey, This is a VICTORY for Glenn Beck!



Rifqa Remains with Foster Family

, , , ...

YES, thank God! Rifqa Bary will remain with her foster family. The next court date is September 28th. This is great news, because if you have been reading the Atlas Shrugs posts on Rifqa, you know there has been a concentrated effort between the Islamic organization CAIR and leftist bloggers and journalists on behalf of her father.

I feel deep down within my inner most being, that if Rifqa Bary is returned to her father in Ohio, she will become a victim of honor killing. She is now an apostate to Islam for making Jesus Christ her Savior and becoming a Christian. Apostates bring dishonor on their families. The Quran calls for death for an apostate. Continue to pray that Rifqa Bary remains safe and will not be returned to her father. Read all about today's dependency hearing outcome for Rifqa Bary here.

Ramadan is In
Remember back in May when our President would not honor (Christ centered) National Day of Prayer with the traditional White House ceremony? Well he is now going to honor the start of the Muslim observance of Ramadan with a White House video message. Okay, I still do not think he is a closet Muslim. But I do feel he has strong Islamic sympathies. Again I hope all of his Christian supporters and the Christian non supporters will pray as I pray for Pres. Barack Obama to see and accept for himself that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Addendum: View the video at Islam in Action.

A Christian Church Victory
What is it when it comes to saying yes to business with different groups but saying no to Christian groups? The Broome Community College would not rent space to the North Point Church in Binghamton, New York to hold worship services. They cited their policy of not renting to community religious groups, but they rented space to other community groups. The Alliance Defense Fund stepped in on behalf of North Point and now the college is renting to the church.

Jesus' Name Victory
After Rev. Gerry Stoltzfoos was first invited, he was then rejected from opening the start of the Pennsylvania State Senate in prayer, because he prays in Jesus' name. The PA Senate wanted a nondenominational prayer. Rev. Stolzfoos refuse to do that. For true Christians not praying in Jesus' name is not an option. The PA Senate reversed its position and Rev. Stoltzfoos was invited back to pray and he prayed in Jesus' name.

First Victory for Fathima Rifqa Bary
Fathima Rifqa Bary ran away from home in Ohio to Florida, because she feared she would be killed by her father after he found out she had given her life to Jesus Christ. Rifqa Bary who is 17 has already suffered beatings at the hands of her father and brother for turning to Christ. A Florida Judge has allowed her to stay in Florida for now. She has another hearing on Sept. 3 at 2:30 for the dependency argument. Please stay in prayer. Read more here and here.

The End Of Week Mix: Priorities, Latest Eligibility Challenge, Hate Crimes and a Pro Marriage Piece

, , , ...

Michael Ramirez Cartoon
Leon Panetta sure has his priorities mixed up. Former VP Dick Cheney is more of a concern than radical Islamist/Al Qaeda types who are still plotting to annihilate this country or at least force all of us into Islam.

People continue to challenge Pres. Obama's eligibility status through lawsuits. The latest is U.S. Army reservist, Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook who refused to obey his deployment orders because he challenges that the President has not proven that he was born in this country. Well, he is now experiencing payback. Read all about that here and here.

There are people whom still do not believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States. Many challengers say Pres. Obama's birth certificate is a phony and he should present the long form. There are others who challenge his eligibility under the natural born status, which requires that both parents of a President be U. S. Citizens. We all know his father was not a U. S. citizen. There are even more challenges, such as when his mother married and moved to Indonesia when Pres Obama was a little boy. Some say that he lost his U. S. citizenship then and so on.

Pres. Obama should produce the long form of his birth certificate and put those challenges to rest. Why doesn't he? And as far as the natural born citizen thing goes, that too is getting thrown out in the courts so far.

Get ready to be charged with a hate crime if you speak out against sinful behavior. For example, if you speak bible scriptures that label homosexuality as sin, you may end up doing some serious time in prison. Persecution for the righteous sake! American Christians have not really suffered for righteousness sake like Christians during the times of the communist USSR or currently in Islamic countries. American Christians might be at the beginning of some serious persecution.

In reading the link, you see that the Senate majority which is Democrat is surely doing its part to establish this type of legislation. When I read news like this, I am glad that I am no longer a registered Democrat.

Finally, CEO Jim Daly of Focus on the Family is applauding the reportedly liberal left leaning Time Magazine for a pro traditional marriage and family piece written by Caitlin Flanagan. It is the cover story for the July 13 issue. Ms. Flanagan draws attention to children today watching their father and mother's husband/wife commitment snap like dry twigs and/or parents who do not love each other enough to be married to each other.

Children are experiencing at least one of the main adults in their lives drift in and out or even not make an appearance in their lives at all (while alive and well). Think of the impact this will have into their adult lives in their treatment of of other adults on a personal level and their own children!

Atheist After "In God We Trust"

, , , ...

The atheist/agnostic group Freedom from Religion has filed a lawsuit to keep an architect from engraving "In God We Trust" and removing "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington.

As far as this group is concerned, taxpayer-funded engravings are unconstitutional endorsements of religion. "In God We Trust" has not always been our motto, but it has been since the mid fifties. The same for "under God in the our Pledge of Allegiance.

The lawsuit states that engraving them at the entrance to the U.S. Capitol would discriminate against those who do not practice religion and unfairly promote a Judeo-Christian perspective. Doesn't this country have a well grounded Judeo-Christian perspective? It is interesting that the congressional lawmakers who are speaking out against this lawsuit are Republicans like Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa and Rep. Daniel Lungren, R-Calif.

I am waiting to hear those on the Democrat side speak out against this lawsuit. Do I hear someone saying, "don't hold your breath?" During my times as a Democrat, it use to always bother me when similar controversial situations went against Christianity in any way, the liberal Democrat leaders would be on the wrong side of the issue.
