HARRY REID'S NEGRO PROBLEM



by Ann Coulter

The recently released book "Game Change" reports that Sen. Harry Reid said America would vote for Barack Obama because he was a "light-skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

The book also says Bill Clinton called Sen. Ted Kennedy to ask for his endorsement of Hillary over Obama, saying of Obama: "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."

And we already knew that Obama's own vice president, Joe Biden, called Obama "articulate" and "clean" during the campaign. (So you can see why Biden got the vice presidential nod over Reid.)

Democrats regularly say things that would end the career of any conservative who said them. And still, blacks give 90 percent of their votes to the Democrats. Reid apologized to President Obama, and Obama accepted the apology using his "white voice." So now all is forgiven. Clinton also called Obama to apologize, but ended up asking him to bring everybody some coffee. Now the only people waiting for an apology are the American people who want an apology from Nevada for giving us Harry Reid. Reid will be the guest of honor at a luncheon in Las Vegas this week hosted by a group called "African-Americans for Harry Reid." That's if you can call two people a "group." They used to be called "African-Americans for David Duke," but that was mostly a social thing. Now they're doing real political organizing. If this gets off the ground, "African-Americans for Harry Reid" will be a political juggernaut that cannot be denied. Their motto: "We Will Be Heard -- As Soon As I Get This Gentleman's Coffee." Reid has also picked up an endorsement from the United Light-Skinned Negro College Fund. And Tiger Woods is considering endorsing him. He is the one light-skinned half-black guy right now who's thrilled with Reid's comments. Reid's defenders don't have much to work with. Their best idea so far is that at least he said "Negro" and not "Nigra." Liberals are saying that since Reid was pointing out Obama's pale hue in support of his run for the presidency, it was OK to praise his skin color and non-Negro dialect. (Reid is denying reports that in 2007 he said to Obama: "You should run. You people are good at that.")

In fact, Reid didn't endorse Obama until after Hillary dropped out of the race. It turns out, he also admired Hillary for her light skin and the fact that she only uses a Negro dialect when she wants to. In the alternative, liberals are defending Reid by claiming he said nothing that wasn't true, though he may have used "an unusual set" of words -- as light-skinned Reid-defender Harold Ford Jr. put it.

As long as we're mulling the real meaning of Reid's words and not just gasping in awe at the sorts of things Democrats get away with saying, I think Reid owes America an apology for accusing the entire country of racism. A country, let us note, that just elected a manifestly unqualified, at least partially black man president.

On the other hand, Reid couldn't have been expecting Republicans to vote for a Democrat, so I gather Reid was accusing only Democratic voters of being racists. I don't disagree with that, but I'd like to get it in writing. I think the Democratic platform should include a statement that the Democrats will not vote for dark-skinned blacks with a Negro dialect. Check with Harry Reid on the precise wording, but something along the lines of "no one darker than Deepak Chopra." The "whereas" clauses can include the Democrats' history of supporting slavery, segregation, racial preferences, George Wallace and Bull Connor -- and also a precis of their treatment of dark-skinned Clarence Thomas.


BREAKING NEWS: Hoping to curry favor with the African-American community, Sen. Reid was arrested late this afternoon after breaking into his own home. Democrats couldn't win an election without the black vote, but the Democratic Party keeps treating blacks like stage props, wheeling them out for photo-ops and marches now and then but almost never putting them in charge of anything important.

President Bush appointed the first black secretary of state and then the first black female secretary of state. Meanwhile, the closest black woman to Bill Clinton was his secretary, Betty Currie. The one sitting black Supreme Court justice, Clarence Thomas, was appointed by a Republican.

The head of the Republican National Committee is black -- medium-skinned, but liberals treated Michael Steele like a dark-skinned black when they threw Oreo cookies at him during the Maryland gubernatorial campaign in 2002.

After the 2000 election, Democrats had a chance to make one of the rare smart Democrats, Donna Brazile, head of the Democratic National Committee. Brazile had just run a perfectly respectable campaign on behalf of that bumbling buffoon Al Gore. She also happens to be black. Again, blacks give 90 percent of their votes to the Democrats. But the Democrats skipped over Brazile and handed the DNC chairmanship to the goofy white guy in lime green pants, Howard Dean.


UPDATE: Harry Reid has just apologized to the light-skinned people of Haiti for the 7.0 earthquake that hit them Tuesday afternoon.

The single most insulting remark made about blacks in my lifetime was Bill Clinton's announcement -- after being caught in the most humiliating sex scandal in world history -- that he was "the first black president."

He did not call himself "the first black president" when liberals were dancing and singing to Fleetwood Mac at his inauguration. He did not call himself "the first black president" when he was feeling our pain and being lionized by the media. He did not call himself "the first black president" when he was trying to socialize health care or passing welfare reform. Not until he became a national embarrassment did Clinton recognize that he was "the first black president." At least he could finally get his own coffee.

BEAT BARNEY FRANK AND THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
By Dick Morris


Things are moving fast and we now have a solid chance to defeat some high value targets: House Banking Committee Chairman Barney Frank and the other Democratic leaders. Defeating these top Democrats would send a huge signal to the nation and would deprive the Democrats of some of their top leadership. It would truly be a command and control strike!



To the chess fans among us, I say: “Enough of the pawns. Lets go for some rooks, castles, and bishops. That way we can bring down their queen and, in two years, checkmate the king.”



Apart from the sheer joy of beating these Congressmen, it will make clear that we do not like what they have done to us.



Frank, more than anyone else except possibly Chris Dodd, is responsible for our financial mess. For a decade, he blocked Bush’s efforts to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Eileen and I wrote about this in our 2007 book Outrage and predicted that it would lead to a financial collapse. But Frank didn’t listen and now he seeks to evade responsibility. We want to run an ad explaining the facts to his district.



We will use your donations for these high value targets and to pursue Project 100, our effort to win one hundred seats in the House.



We are currently using your past donations to target seven Congressman and are about to hit nine more. Your donations will help us go after Frank and a bunch of other Democrats who we can defeat!

Democrats Fighting Words Backfire Causing Tail Spin‏

A timely post from http://www.alipac.us/ about the consequences of recent Democratic comments. This follows this post  about Southwest pro-amnesty incumbents to TARGET!

Democrats Fighting Words Backfire Causing Tail Spin‏




Friends of ALIPAC,

Time is short. We have 5 days left to save America.

Here is what you need to know....



Thank you Joy Behar!



Joy Behar's use of fighting words calling Sharon Angle a '*****' and promising some kind of violent reaction from her gang banging illegal alien homies in New York City has backfired. Angle sent Behar flowers and the message "Joy, raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Sharron Angle" Women voters are abandoning the Democratic fold in droves in response to this affront to all women. Behar has handed the election to Angle and hurt Democratic candidates nationwide.



Obama declares Americans 'enemies'...



President Obama's message to amnesty supporting Hispanic voters advocating they need to "punish our enemies" has also backfired. While his fighting words have increased the chances of sporadic violence towards Americans and possible massive civil unrest, such as we see in other nations, Americans are choosing to rebuke his comments.



It is widely seen as inappropriate for the President of the United States to declare and classify the over 200 million Americans of every race and party who oppose his radical Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty as 'enemies'. Black, Hispanic, Asian, and White voters who oppose Amnesty are switching their votes to Republican or sitting this election out in protest of Obama's antagonism towards Americans who oppose his political agenda.



These recent comments, along with Obama's comments that Republicans must 'ride in the back of the bus' have opened many eyes in the last few days causing Obama to cancel most of his public speaking plans around the country. Even Bill Clinton cannot generate audiences and the word is that Hillary has left the nation to distance herself from the Democratic collapse.



Apocalyptic Poll Numbers



In 1994, the conservative backlash in America shocked most Democrats. This time they see the wave coming but are powerless to stop it.



The recent polling data coming in suggests that the 2010 backlash may dwarf the historic events of 1994! The poll readings are incredible! Each day the news gets worse for the Democrats; the negative tactics of Obama and groups like the ADL, DCCC, the Independent Media sources controlled by George Soros, and the Huffington Post have backfired! Each desperate measure they deploy appears to only escalate the backlash and feed the flames!



FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!



Six simple steps to victory.



1. We need each of you to focus on your ballot and rally everyone you can to join you to strike back at the polls on Nov 2!



2. Keep an eye out for Black Panthers and wacky voting machines. Report any problems immediately to us and your local media and authorities. We are tracking these incidents in the interest of election integrity.



3. Get your support for ALIPAC's operations in the door as soon as possible via this link. We are very low on funds and have an immense demand for assistance from those candidates who stand with us.



WE MUST HAVE MORE SUPPORT SOON VIA...

http://www.alipac.us/content-9.html





4. Approach the federal campaigns endorsed by ALIPAC closest to you to offer your immediate help as a donor and or as a volunteer. Get those signs in your yard and get close to our candidates and help them any way you can via this link...

http://www.alipac.us/2010_campaign_endorsements.html



5. Locate the TARGETED campaigns on the Endorsements lists featured at this link and concentrate national support behind these campaigns....

http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-216406.html



6. If you are within a few hours drive of Raleigh, do all you can to join us Friday night and bring others. We have just received exciting news that Congressional candidate Ilario Pantano, who is in a very close race against Democratic incumbent Mike McIntyre (D-NC-7) will be speaking at our casual attire BBQ dinner this Friday night. We have four candidates for Congress coming, including Congressman Walter Jones. We need you there, don't let us down. More details at...

http://www.alipac.us/article5764.html



Let's keep our energy and momentum high as we march to victory! Our opposition is in retreat and it is time for us to launch a final charge!

A Kinder, Gentler Hell?

A Kinder, Gentler Hell?


As opinions about hell have changed over the years, so have the teachings of many churches. But what does the Bible say?

by David Treybig

Syncretism-the combination of differing beliefs and practices-has long been a hallmark of mainstream Christianity. Centuries ago church leaders set aside biblically assigned days of worship in favor of Sunday, Christmas and Easter. Similarly, popular tradition long ago replaced the biblical teaching about hell.



Beliefs about hell are changing again. A recent poll revealed a dramatic shift in opinion among Americans regarding concepts of hell. True to historical form, major religious organizations are adjusting their teachings accordingly. The latest beliefs and teachings concerning the fate of sinners could be called a "kinder, gentler" hell.



According to U.S. News & World Report, in 1997 the majority belief among U.S. citizens was that "hell is a real place where people suffer eternal fiery torments." Now 53 percent believe "hell is an anguished state of existence eternally separated from God" ("Hell Hath No Fury," Jeffrey Sheler, Jan. 31, 2000, p. 47).



This shift in thinking can be attributed to several factors. "Lampooned by modern intellectuals and increasingly sidelined by preachers preferring to dwell on more uplifting themes, the threat of post-mortem punishment of the impenitent in an eternal lake of fire all but disappeared from the religious mainstream by the 1960s. Theological discourse on the subject at the nation's divinity schools almost evaporated. And while polls showed that the majority of Americans professed to believe in hell's existence, almost no one thought he would go there" (ibid.).



The reasoning behind the shift often paints punishment as a childish fear tactic that is no longer valid or needed by mature adults. Others reason that a good God couldn't possibly punish people forever, as that would be against His very nature. "'Once we discovered we could create hell on Earth,' says John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus at DePaul University in Chicago, 'it became silly to talk about it in a literal sense'" (ibid., p. 50).



Authenticating this modern interpretation for Roman Catholics, Pope John Paul II stated last summer that, "rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitely separate themselves from God." In so doing he described hell as something figuratively portrayed in the Bible as a "pool of fire" or a "second death" (ibid., p. 45).



Catholic funeral masses have changed to reflect this view. White priestly garments have replaced black ones, and prayers such as Dies Irae (Day of Wrath), which describe the torture of the wicked, have been set aside in favor of ones dealing with hope and the resurrection.



In concert with this socially driven change, "the doctrine commission of the Church of England recently recommended a hell of 'final and irrevocable choosing of that which is opposed to God' instead of medieval fire and torment. And the newest Presbyterian catechism hardly mentions the subject at all ... Even among evangelicals, hell as a subject from the pulpit is less ubiquitous than before" (USA Today, "Churches Give Hell a Makeover," Gerald Zelizer, Feb. 21, 2000, p. 15A).



The modern religious consumer

In an effort to explain recent changes in teachings about hell, Gerald Zelizer, rabbi of a Conservative congregation serving Jewish residents of Metuchen and Edison, New Jersey, offers three reasons he believes hell is being refashioned. First is the religious consumer's view that he needs positive things, including love, hope, peace and marriage enrichment, more than being saved from hell. Second is the American psyche, which thinks people are entitled to be happy and successful. Third is ambiguity within Christianity over what Matthew meant when he said that evildoers would be "cast into a furnace of fire."



In an age of consumer-driven markets, churches are not only striving to meet the individual where he stands emotionally and intellectually but are adjusting doctrines to attract and retain people. Like a technician who can't resist the urge to tweak the knobs of an already perfectly operating system, theologians and parishioners regularly adjust doctrinal positions to fit their changing perspectives. Jesus Christ's first-century condemnation of substituting "the commandments of men" for the teachings of God (Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7) has gone unheeded.



Yet, strangely, some theologians paint their revisions as honorable, carefully thought-out methods of taking the gospel to contemporary culture. Thomas Reese, editor of the Jesuit journal America, reasons that today's gentler hell, based on relationships and psychological experiences such as loneliness, wouldn't have made sense to earlier generations.



U.S. News & World Report's religion writer Jeffrey Sheler notes that this most recent change in the view of hell is similar to other changes in Christian teaching. But not everyone agrees with such humanly devised changes of biblical teachings.



The history of change

Evangelical Protestants and conservative Catholics (who comprise much of the 34 percent of Americans who hold to the traditional view that hell is a literal place of eternal punishment) do not accept the kinder, gentler hell.



Yet, ironically, many of those resistant to the recent change are unaware that their traditional beliefs are nothing more than revisions of the true biblical teaching. The major difference lies in the fact that their revisions were made many centuries ago.



Surprising as it may sound, the idea of hell as a literal place where evildoers are punished for eternity did not arise until centuries after Jesus' life on earth and subsequent crucifixion. As Rabbi Zelizer explained: "In the Hebrew Bible, there is no mention of hell at all, but only a deep ravine of rocky earth outside the Old City of Jerusalem, where the Israelites burned garbage and emptied sewage, and Sheol, a non-descript underworld into which both the good and the bad descended after death."



So where did the idea of hell as a place of eternal punishment come from?

In Mark 9:43-48 Jesus spoke of hell as a place where "the fire is not quenched." Did He mean evildoers would be punished forever? Or did He mean no one would quench the fire, that it would not go out until the wicked were consumed? This question has left many confused, as have disagreements among third- and fourth-century theologians over whether the punishment would be sensory or only symbolic of separation from God.



Origen, another early church theologian, offered this theory: Hell is remedial in nature, a place where sinners could be rehabilitated. The Council of Constantinople in 543 rejected Origen's view. From that time forward, people were divided between two perspectives, the majority believing in a never- ending punishment of the wicked (who would necessarily be immortal), the minority believing in a one-time annihilation of the wicked (who by definition would be mortals, capable of dying and being destroyed).



Little changed until the 14th century when Dante presented a fictional description of hell in his work the Divine Comedy. Using vivid imagery of the horrors associated with a multileveled subterranean chamber, Dante galvanized popular opinion about sensory punishment.



However, the doctrinal evolution did not end there.



"Two hundred years later, leaders of the Protestant Reformation rejected the terrifying depictions of hell in art and literature," wrote Jeffrey Sheler. "While Martin Luther and John Calvin regarded hell as a real place, they believed its fiery torments were figurative. Hell's worst agonies, they said, were the terror and utter despair of spending eternity cut off from God."



Given the options, what should one believe? Is there no definitive, biblically based answer?



Yes, there is. An often-overlooked passage sheds a brilliant light on the entire debate.



The Bible's explanation

Although many have noted Christ's references to punishment for evildoers in Mark 9:43-48 and Revelation 20:15, few have made the connection between this subject and Malachi 4. Written 400 years before the birth of Christ, Malachi's book has been assumed by many to be simply a historical record of the time. Yet its last two chapters (3 and 4) focus on Jesus' second coming.



Malachi 4:1-3 explains what will happen to the wicked: "'For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,' says the LORD of hosts, 'that will leave them neither root nor branch. But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,' says the LORD of hosts."



As their punishment, says Malachi, evildoers will be burned up. This is not a case of divinely administered eternal torture but of a mercifully quick capital punishment-the annihilation and eternal elimination of the wicked. The wicked will not burn forever. Indeed, they will be reduced to ashes.



This is the "everlasting punishment"-a death after which there is no hope of a resurrection-Jesus speaks of in Matthew 25:46. This punishment is eternal in the sense that it has eternal consequences: No one will return to life once punished in this manner. The punishing is instantaneous, but its effect is eternal.



The idea that one can work his way out of this punishment is also a mistaken concept.



Understanding annihilationism

The understanding that the wicked will be destroyed is called annihilationism.



Addressing this concept, Sheler reports: "A small but growing number of conservative theologians are promoting a third position: that the end of the wicked is destruction, not eternal suffering. Evangelical scholars such as Clark H. Pinnock, theology professor at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario; John R.W. Stott, founder of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity; and Philip E. Hughes, a noted Anglican clergyman and author, contend that those who ultimately reject God will simply be put out of existence in the 'consuming fire' of hell," Sheler wrote.



These theologians correctly point out, as Sheler writes, that "the traditional belief in unending torment is based more on pagan philosophy than on a correct understanding of Scripture. They base their belief on New Testament passages that warn of 'eternal destruction' (2 Thessalonians 1:9) and 'the second death' (Revelation 20:14) for those who reject God, and on the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel's admonition that 'the soul that sins shall die' (Ezekiel 18:4).



"They also raise ethical arguments. 'How can Christians possibly project a deity of such cruelty and vindictiveness' as to inflict 'everlasting torture upon his creatures, however sinful they may have been?' asks Pinnock in the Criswell Theological Review. A God who would do such a thing, Pinnock argues, is 'more nearly like Satan than like God.'"

Southwest pro-amnesty incumbents to Target - Give $5 to any or all of their opponents

A timely post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about Southwest pro-amnesty incumbents to TARGET! This follows this post about Sharron Angle.

These pro-amnesty incumbents in trouble‏

BLOGGER'S NOTE: CLICK THE LINK ABOVE FOR EVEN MORE CANDIDATES!



If you want to make a last-minute campaign donation where it can make a difference for better immigration policies . . .



HERE ARE THE HIGH-IMMIGRATION INCUMBENTS



WHO ARE IN TROUBLE AND COULD LOSE



-- and who have anti-amnesty challengers



who probably could use a contribution



The pro-amnesty vs. anti-amnesty balance of power could shift a lot in the next Congress.



A number of you have been asking where final campaign contributions might be the most helpful in pushing out high-immigration congressional incumbents in favor of low-immigration challengers.



I asked my staff to prepare the list below without regard to Party affiliations. These are the races where contributions might be helpful

(BUT DON'T GIVE TO THE INCUMBENT WHOSE NAME IS LISTED.)


Every incumbent in this email meets the following criteria:


1. Incumbent has failed to use his/her time in Congress to protect unemployed Americans from unfair competition with foreign workers (legal and illegal).


2. Incumbent is considered by the pundits to be in danger of losing his/her seat (but still close enough to keep it).


3. Incumbent has a challenger who is promising to work for less immigration. (A few of these challengers are not promising much at this point. I leave it to you whether you think they are worth supporting.



In other words, the low-immigration challenger is given a good chance to replace the high-immigration incumbent but probably needs extra money to do the job.



I am not endorsing any of the challengers, because we don't endorse anybody. But our research definitely finds that the incumbents listed on this page are the immigration bad guys and their challengers promise to be immigration good guys.



There are many more high-immigration, pro-amnesty incumbents who are in election trouble, but their challengers have not promised to fight open-borders efforts.



When you click on any of the incumbents listed below, you will see our grid that compares the immigration promises of the incumbent and of the challenger.



You can click on the name of the challenger just underneath the photo to find the campaign web page and a way to donate.



If you live in any of these jurisdictions, you may want to go to the webpage and find out how you can help with the last days of campaigning.


Take a look at these names. They are all Members of Congress who failed in the last two years to feel any urgency about protecting unemployed Americans from unfair foreign labor competition.

Obama Appoints Record Number of Open Homosexuals

Obama Appoints Record Number of Open Homosexuals

By Kathleen Gilbert



WASHINGTON, D.C., October 27, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - President Barack Obama has appointed more openly homosexual individuals to government posts than any previous president, according to sources cited by the Associated Press.



Gay lobbyists estimate that Obama has granted top appointments to more than 150 open homosexuals in the two years he has served at the White House - topping the approximately 140 favored by President Bill Clinton in all eight years of his presidency. A spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign called the pattern "a simple affirmation of the American ideal that what matters is how you do your job and not who you are.”



Others suggested, however, that the appointments were not entirely a matter of personal merit.



Denis Dison, spokesman for the Presidential Appointments Project of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, said the administration's appointments were meant to be received as friendly gestures towards the homosexualist movement.



“From everything we hear from inside the administration, they wanted this to be part of their efforts at diversity,’’ said Dison. The Presidential Appointments Project acts as a stepping stone for homosexual professionals seeking federal posts "to improve our federal government’s policies and processes."



One of the names listed on the project's website is Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education. Jennings' appointment outraged conservatives after it was revealed that the "Safe Schools Czar" had envisioned a future of openly "promoting homosexuality" to schoolchildren and, as former leader of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, oversaw a workshop teaching young teens how to perform the dangerous and obscene sex act known as "fisting."



Another notable name on the list is Chai Feldblum, nominated to become a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which oversees workplace discrimination complaints. Feldblum, a law professor, has reportedly said regarding conflicts between religious liberty and sexual liberty that "in almost all cases the sexual liberty should win because that's the only way that the dignity of gay people can be affirmed in any realistic manner."



Shin Inouye, an openly homosexual White House spokesman, told the AP that, "“We have made a record number of openly LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender] appointments, and we are confident that this number will only continue to grow.’’



In January of this year, a report on the Obama administration's appointments was published by Liberty Counsel, which concluded that the current president "has nominated and appointed the most radical group of ideologues ever assembled by an American President."

The View calls Sharon Angle the B word over border ad‏
 
Friends of ALIPAC,




We are endorsing Sharron Angle for US Senate because she says she will oppose Amnesty for illegal aliens while Harry Reid supports Amnesty and is encouraging illegal aliens to vote in the 2010 elections!



Today on the liberal daytime show called "The View," Joy Behar condemned Sharron Angle's latest campaign ad about illegal immigration saying...



"I'd like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx. Come here bitch, come to New York! I'm not praying for her! She's going to hell! She's going to hell, this bitch!"



Yes, Joy Behar and The View have made television history by becoming the first show in America to call a female Federal candidate a bitch.



Please watch both videos below and consider contacting ABC to ask that Joy Behar be fired for using such inappropriate language on television and for threatening a Federal candidate with some kind of taunt about being in physical danger of assault if the commercial were seen in New York City.

Rep. Weiner to Youtube: Pull Jihadi Videos

A very interesting post from http://bigpeace.com/ about a proposal to pull jihadi videos from YouTube. This follows this post about the U.S. State Department's foreign policy and this article  about the recent news about the former ban on offshore drilling which would encourage American energy independence. This is a key issue to prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE!



Rep. Weiner to Youtube: Pull Jihadi Videos


Posted by The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT)
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner has called on YouTube to make terrorist propaganda videos less accessible, particularly those of Anwar al-Awlaki, dubbed the “bin Laden of the Internet.”









“We are facilitating the recruitment of homegrown terror,” Weiner, D-NY, warned in a letter dated Sunday to YouTube CEO Chad Hurley. “There is no reason we should give killers like al-Awlaki access to one of the world’s largest bully pulpits so they can inspire more violent acts within our borders, or anywhere else in the world.”









Awlaki, a designated terrorist, has become a potent threat to the United States. As Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Stuart Levey recently explained “he has involved himself in every aspect of the supply chain of terrorism—fundraising for terrorist groups, recruiting and training operatives, and planning and ordering attacks on innocents.”



While he was living in the United States, Awlaki served as an Imam with the Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami in San Diego and Dar al-Hijrah in Fairfax, Virginia. As an IPT analysis of Awlaki’s lectures during that time revealed, the man whose name is now synonymous with terrorism “first demonstrated a concerning radicalism over a decade ago.”



Since taking a leadership role in AQAP in Yemen, joint American and Yemeni efforts, have pushed al-Awlaki underground, forcing him to rely upon the Internet to spread his hateful message and incite others to follow in the footsteps of Nidal Hassan,Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and Faisal Shahzad. In one such video interview released May 23, 2010, Awlaki stated:



“my message to the Muslims in general, and to those in the Arabian Peninsula in particular is that we should participate in this Jihad against America…No one should even ask us about targeting a bunch of Americans who would have been killed in an airplane. Our unsettled account with America includes, at the very least, one million women and children. I’m not even talking about the men. Our unsettled account with America, in women and children alone, has exceeded one million. Those who would have been killed in the plane are a drop in the ocean.”



Despite the free speech concerns, Weiner urged Hurley to pull hundreds of videos of Awlaki. “al-Awlaki’s message, promoted via YouTube, has caused violence and is a threat to American security.”

Halloween's Dark Roots


In recent years eye-opening materials have been published about the questionable background of Halloween. Consider these excerpts:



"Halloween-a holiday that mixes generic religious beliefs with ancient folk customs-is supposed to be fun. But for many conservative Christians, it has become a dark and spiritually dangerous celebration ... Many are boycotting the bats, witches, goblins and ghouls that symbolize the holiday because they consider such things to be lures in the satanic struggle for human souls ...



"Halloween's pagan roots are real, as are those of Christmas and Easter. Santa Claus comes from an ancient woodland spirit honored by pagans, and Easter's non-Christian ancestry is derived from a Germanic fertility goddess, thus the Easter eggs and Easter bunny ... Halloween was called samhain in the pagan world-part harvest festival, partly a day to honor the dead" (Knight-Ridder/Tribune News Service, Oct. 28, 1993, "Conservative Christians Urge Halloween Alternative").



"The ancient Celtic [Irish, Scottish, Welsh] festival called Samhain is considered by many to be a predecessor of our contemporary Halloween. Samhain was the New Year's Day of the Celts, celebrated on 1 November. It was also a day of the dead, a time when it was believed that the souls of those who had died during the year were allowed access to the land of the dead. It was related to the season: by Samhain, the crops should be harvested and the animals brought in from the distant fields.



"Many traditional beliefs and customs associated with Samhain, most notable that night was the time of the wandering dead, the practice of leaving offerings of food and drink to masked and costumed revelers, and the lighting of bonfires, continued to be practiced on 31 October, known as the Eve of All Saints, the Eve of All Hallows, or Hallow Even. It is the glossing of the name Hallow Even that has given us the name Hallowe'en.



"... The customs associated with Halloween included representations of ghosts and human skeletons-symbols of the dead-and of the devil and other malevolent, evil creatures, such as witches.



"The first week of November is marked in many countries, especially those with a strong Catholic influence, with festivals concerned with death, in a playful but serious way. In Catholic countries we often find some cognate of Halloween associated with All Saints' or All Souls' days.



"... Unlike the American Halloween, in Mexico people build home altars, adorned with religious icons and special breads and other food for the dead. The Day of the Dead incorporates recognition of death as a concept with rituals that remember the deaths of individuals" (Jack Santino, Halloween and Other Festivals of Death and Life, 1994).

Hollywood's Horrendous Consequences

Mass Culture's Horrendous Consequences


The 21st century sees the entertainment-centered culture of the Western world spread around the globe through movies, television, music and the Internet. Rather than genuinely "entertaining" in a wholesome sense, the effect appears to encourage self-indulgence of the crudest and rawest elements of human nature.

by Cecil E. Maranville

Entertainment is both pleasurable and necessary for establishing and maintaining good health. By "entertainment," I mean the type of activity that uplifts, inspires or relaxes the human spirit. The biblical "There Is a Season" poem acknowledges this truth with its declaration that there is "a time to laugh...and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4).



One of the saddest realities of the present culture of the Western world is that it broadcasts a type of "entertainment" that pulls one down much more than it uplifts. The themes marketed as entertainment typically focus on self-destructive behaviors that would ruin the life of any individual who practiced them. Further, the pursuit of the way of life shown on the big screen, the television screen or "screamed" from musical presentations would also corrupt the broader community.



The fabulous wealth and influence of the West have enabled it to spread this poisonous product worldwide. Millions of people living in the West would immediately protest, saying their personal values are in no way reflected by the entertainment industry. Nonetheless, the all-pervasive Western entertainment is a prime illustration used by radical religious extremists to recruit terrorists to destroy "the corrupt West."



In the wake of the recent terrorist attacks, many Americans asked: "Why do so many people in other countries hate us?" "Part of any honest response involves the movies, TV shows and popular music we export around the globe" (Michael Medved, "Can Hollywood Change Its Ugly Version of USA?" Oct. 18, 2001). Many Americans may look at their beautiful homes, pleasant neighborhoods, fabulously-equipped schools or at the freedoms they enjoy and think, "This is America!" If they spent a day watching the latest Hollywood releases, the latest television programs and listening to the most popular music—without looking at any other aspect of America, they would realize in horror, "This is the America that the rest of the world sees."



Medved noted in the above piece that a Pakistani theater had been destroyed recently by anti-American rioters when showing the R-rated film Desperado. Americans know that Hollywood productions are more fantasy than fact, but people in other parts of the world may not know that. "If you live in Indonesia or Nigeria...you'll get little chance to balance the negative impressions you draw from The X-Files, Hannibal or Natural Born Killers... No wonder so many Islamic extremists (and so many others) now look upon the USA as a cruel, godless, brutal and vulgar society—a 'Great Satan,' indeed."



Americans say, "Don't portray us this way!"



In spite of the fact that survey after survey shows that the American public prefers the type of entertainment material that portrays and encourages the values of family, faith and flag, nearly 65 percent of all movie releases in the United States are R-rated, according to Medved.



He made the claim that R-rated movies are the least profitable nearly 10 years ago in his book, Hollywood vs. America (1992). Several years later, a professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine, conducted a major scientific study on this claim. Arthur DeVany's sophisticated study proved that Medved was correct. R-rated films fared more poorly than "G, PG, and PG13 in all three dimensions of revenues, costs, return on production cost, and profits" (Medved, "Politicos, Hollywood Heavies: They Can't Both Be Right About Public Preferences," Feb. 23, 2001).



TV writers, programmers, performers and executives were called the "vulgarians at the gate" by the late Steve Allen in his book by that title. Consider the following statistics: 77 percent of people polled by Family Circle magazine (reported in its May 15, 2001 issue) have a problem with the sexual content of television; 61 percent won't watch some shows because of the sexual content; 84 percent won't allow their children to watch some shows for the same reason; 93 percent changed the channel or turned off the television entirely, because of sexual content of a program (Cal Thomas, "Must-Sleaze TV?" 2001 LA Times Syndicate).



Thomas also cited a Newsweek survey from 2000, which showed that over 90 percent of parents of children ages 5 to 17 said that limiting the amount of violence children are exposed to in the media is an important factor in reducing crime.



Why "entertainment" is low quality



Why would the entertainment industry continue to generate a classless and crude product, if people do not want it? There are three fundamental answers to that question. First, they market their product to a small niche of the population—young people who have the money and the inclination to indulge themselves in what Hollywood has to offer. Medved calls them "a relative handful of drooling, subliterate, hormone addled adolescent males" (Medved, Feb. 23, 2001). (I don't believe he meant to imply that all teens are of this caliber!) Cal Thomas referred to a Federal Trade Commission report of 2000, which found that the entertainment industry is targeting violent films, music and video games to young people (Thomas, Aug. 9, 2001).



Parents may not be happy with television programming, but they're allowing their children to watch it in record amounts—probably due in part to not knowing how to say "no" to the demands that their children make. According to a Nielsen Media Research report of 1993, children spend nearly as much time learning about life through media as in formal schooling. The average child spends approximately 28 hours a week watching television, not including movies and/or Internet games.



The Parents Music Resource Center reports that American teenagers listen to an estimated 10,500 hours of rock music between the seventh and 12th grades alone—which is more than 95 percent of the time they spend in school over 12 years (Entertainment Monitor, December 1995)!



Second, some producers of Western entertainment are more interested in the respect and accolades that they receive from their peers than they are in turning a profit at the box office. They are independently wealthy enough that they can afford to be so incredibly self-absorbed.



Citing Martin Scorsese as an example of a director with a string of financial failures, Michael Medved wrote: "The horrific, chillingly rendered violence, the loveless sex and gutter language that characterize most of his films may help to alienate millions of moviegoers but they only add to the luster of his industry reputation as a cutting edge artist, worthy of support... Peer respect matters more than box office success to many industry insiders... Instead [of pursuing quality programming that emphasizes wholesome values] industry veterans passionately pursue good reviews, respectability, and serious esteem-providing reassurance to the nagging insecurity that often accompanies the artistic temperament" (Medved, Feb. 23, 2001).



The third reason that Hollywood can afford to continue to produce and market its corrupt form of entertainment brings us back to the sober reality of how Western culture has impacted the world. That is, Hollywood now receives a majority of its income from foreign audiences. As recently as 20 years ago, foreign revenue accounted for only approximately a third of Hollywood's income, "but in the year 2000, these foreign audiences generate[d] more than 60% of Tinseltown's cash flow" (ibid, emphasis added).



Consider the irony: Many Americans decry Western "entertainment," and many foreigners are aghast at the America they see portrayed in the electronic media. At the same time, millions, both in America and in other countries, have an increasing appetite for this type of trash. And they are willing to pay for it. The result: there will continue to be more of the same.



Evil vs. good



At the root of this battle is a spiritual struggle of evil vs. good. It's not, as many tend to portray it, "good vs. evil," because good doesn't struggle against evil—good is inherently better. Nor is this a new struggle, in spite of the fact that human pride causes some to point back a few decades to a time when some godly values were more widely accepted than they are today.



The truth is, whenever men give in to their basest impulses, evil prevails. It's been so since the beginning.



One of the oldest texts in the Bible is Job. He lamented in his day about an over-indulged generation of children, which did nothing more than pursue entertainment. "They spend their time singing and dancing. They are wealthy and need deny themselves nothing; they are prosperous to the end" (Job 21:12-13, The Living Bible). Because their lives were so prosperous, the youths saw no practical need for God and subsequently had no respect for what He had to say.



And so it will be until the end of the age of mankind. Warning of the end-time world conditions, Jesus said, "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day [of My return to the earth] come on you unexpectedly" (Luke 21:34).



Playing with the devil



Satan is a real being to most people of the world, apart from the West. But evil spirits are relegated to horrifying super-criminals or slow-minded buffoons in much Western entertainment.



Witchblade is a movie cum television series in which a female police officer is both master and servant to a mysterious supernatural weapon. This weapon was supposedly wielded by Joan of Arc and many other "warrior women" down through history in times of great crisis. Dark Angel is another supernatural show about a genetically-enhanced human prototype who battles evil in a run-down world. The main character is also a woman, which is part of a trend to portray women as dominant heroines in a modern world.



People the world around are familiar with the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, based upon the first of J.K. Rowling's series of novels about a young boy in a school for witchcraft and wizardry. With each new novel, the boy grows a year older and a year further educated in the "art of wizardry."



Charmed is a show about three sultry sisters, who are witches. Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Angel are similar programs, which mix the typical immorality of Hollywood with the Western proclivity to make demons into dancers. A more childish version of the same tripe is Sabrina, the Teenage Witch—a "comedy" about a bumbling girl with supernatural powers.



Of course, producing programs about demons and other evil, whether in a comedic or horror setting, isn't new to Hollywood. But now the Hollywood image of "spiritism" has a worldwide audience. How must these programs and movies like The Mummy, Pet Cemetery, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc., come across to the world?



Producers of movies, television or music do not shun evil spirits; they use them as bit players in an entertainment-addicted world. The devil's power isn't a laughing matter. He has godlike power over this present world and is committed to using his formidable resources to prevent its citizens from enjoying what is truly good (2 Corinthians 4:4).



Study after study shows that children exposed to violent themes in entertainment are seriously damaged. Sadly, these facts are quickly swept aside in the rush to the ticket counter, the TV remote or the music store. An eye-opening study—for those with eyes to see—has been conducted in various countries to measure the increase of murder after the introduction of television. The shocking truth: Homicide rates doubled within 10 to 15 years. TV was introduced at different times in the countries studied, but the results were the same (B.S. Centerwall, Comstock G. [ed.], "Exposure to Television as a Cause of Violence," Public Education as Behavior, 1989, 2:1-58).



Crimes of a sexual nature are part of the results, too. "Did we really think that there would be no consequences—no hell to pay—as we slowly repealed personal and corporate codes of conduct? Images and music say to young boys that women are nothing but sex objects. Why are we surprised when they learn and act out that lesson? Their cultural and political icons speak as if sex is a personal entitlement and that women are as disposable as rags" (Cal Thomas, "The Abusive Date. Why Are We Surprised?" 2001, LA Times Syndicate).



The Old Testament concludes with an encouraging promise from God, coupled with a truly sobering warning. The good news is that He has promised to do a work at the end of the age of mankind, which would turn the hearts of fathers back to the children and the hearts of children back to their fathers—restoring the family. The sobering news is, were it not for this work of God, the human family would become so corrupt that even God could not save the resultant world (Malachi 4:4-6).



The heritage of Western culture is that evil—the family is that important—the work of the Church of God is that vital. WNP

Court Rules that Mississippi's Personhood Initiative Will be on 2011 Ballot

An interesting story from http://www.lifesitenews.com/ about a Personhood Initiative to protect embryos. This follows this post about Tom Tancredo. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE!





Court Rules that Mississippi's Personhood Initiative Will be on 2011 Ballot


JACKSON, MS, October 26, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Today Judge Malcolm Harrison ruled in state circuit court that Personhood Mississippi can be on the state's ballot in the November 2011 election. This lawsuit was filed by the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and the Center for Reproductive Rights, who were seeking to keep Initiative 26 off the ballot, in spite of the fact that it received more than the required number of signatures.




Personhood Mississippi is an organization working to prevent abortions by amending the state Constitution to include the unborn in the definition of "person." The organization gathered more than 100,000 signatures in support of the proposed amendment, which is 10,000 more than necessary. This was despite Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood's interpretation of the law that resulted in an early cutoff date, which prevented a number of signatures from being counted.



Judge Harrison stated, "Plaintiffs carry a heavy burden in attempting to restrict the citizenry's right to amend the Constitution. Initiative Measure No. 26 has received more than the required amount of signatures to be placed on the ballot and the Constitution recognizes the right of citizens to amend their Constitution."



Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, which represented Personhood Mississippi, said, "The right to life is the right of all rights. Without the right to life, all other rights are illusory. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges that the right to life is the foundation of all rights. America needs to return to a culture of life."



Steve Crampton, Vice President of Legal Affairs and General Counsel for Liberty Counsel, commented: "We commend Judge Harrison for his commonsense ruling and for allowing this modest and imminently reasonable measure to proceed to the ballot, where every Mississippian will have the chance to vote to protect every human life."

State Department sponsors Saudi trip of apologist for Islamic Republic of Iran


Islamic supremacist metrosexual Reza Aslan is a Board member of the unsavory Tehran-linked NIAC. "State Department Sponsors Saudi Trip of Pro-Iran Apologist," by Barry Rubin, October 25 (thanks to Mark):



There are days when you think: No, this nightmare can't be real! Is the Obama Administration really so bad? Have the policymakers really taken leave of their senses?

And then you see this:



The U.S. Consulate-General in Saudi Arabia "hosted Dr. Trita Parsi, founder and President of the National Iranian American Council.....Dr. Parsi chaired a roundtable luncheon hosted by CG [Consul-General] Tom Duffy. This event was very well-received by the audience, a mix of prominent academics, businesspeople, journalists, and intellectuals. There was significant audience participation and interest in the topic."



According to Parsi's own site, to which the official U.S. site helpfully sends you, "Dr. Parsi was invited to speak and share his expertise on U.S.-Iranian relations and Iranian politics during the first week of October at several events in Riyadh, Dharan and Jeddah." The official U.S. consulate site tries to pretend that Parsi is actually some kind of noted scholar whereas his claim to fame consists almost entirely in convincing the repressive Tehran dictatorship to back him.



The U.S. State Department recently also organized a paid tour for the imam of the "Ground Zero" mosque who rejects U.S. policy toward Hamas, blames America for the September 11 attack, and claims the United States has murdered large numbers of innocent Muslims.



Under what program is all this done?



"As part of the US government's public affairs outreach, the State Department tours prominent US-based experts and academics in the region to provide an opportunity for officials from foreign ministries, academics, journalists, and members of the business community to engage with them."



Parsi has been the leading lobbyist in America for the Iranian Islamist regime and, at least until last year's election, was also an apologist for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He worked actively (in partnership with the anti-Israel front group J Street, no less) to stop U.S. sanctions on Iran....

Excuse me Senator, would you like a cup of Tea?





 - posted on NumbersUSA



On December 16, 1773 there was a revolution in the Boston harbor. On November 2, 2010 there will be a revolution on Election Day. It’s Tea Party time in America. In the Senate alone, the Tea Party earthquake hit Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky, Delaware, Alaska, and Florida. But where do these anti-establishment candidates stand on Immigration issues? Where do these 7 key Senate candidates stand on Immigration Reduction? Reading the Tea leaves reveals an uncertain future.



The Tea Party movement may be the biggest story line of the 2010 midterm elections. Names like Christine O’Donnell, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Joe Miller were all elected by a conservative force of motivated voters.



In 1964 Senator Barry Goldwater was a rebel force against the GOP leadership, sticking out his tongue and thumbing his nose at the country-club Republicans. He went on to lose the presidential election by a massive landslide to President Lyndon B. Johnson and nearly destroyed the entire Republican Party. But from these ashes, a new guard of younger conservatives emerged rallying around a young actor named Ronald Reagan who became Governor of California in 1967. Goldwater became revered as “Mr. Conservative” and the Republican Party emerged stronger than ever. Could history be repeating itself with the Tea Party movement? Is the ghost of Goldwater thumbing his nose at the Republican elites one more time?



There are 7 candidates running on November 2, 2010 who very well may be the living ghost of Goldwater past:



•Sharron Angle (R), Nevada vs. Sen. Harry Reid (D)

•Ken Buck (R), Colorado vs. Sen. Michael Bennet (D)

•Mike Lee (R), Utah vs. Sam Granato (D)

•Rand Paul (R), Kentucky vs. Jack Conway (D)

•Christine O’Donnell (R), Delaware vs. Chris Coons (D)

•Joe Miller (R), Alaska vs. Scott McAdams (D) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (I)

•Marco Rubio (R), vs. Kendrick Meek (D) and Charlie Crist (I)

The Immigration debate was thrust into the national spotlight this year with a little enforcement law called Arizona SB 1070 and followed up with Sen. Harry Reid sneaking the DREAM Act amnesty into a routine Defense Bill. SB 1070 is set for battle in the appeals court system and the DREAM Act amnesty was stopped in the Senate but may become a nightmare during the lame duck session kicking off on November 15, 2010.



"Immigration is one of the top five issues this election season. Immigration is more important now than at any other time during our 14 year history or at any other time in my previous 25 years as a journalist," says Roy Beck, founder and CEO of NumbersUSA. "We are pleased that our Immigration-Reduction Grades are making headway in news stories and our survey, 1 in 3 candidates in key toss-up races have taken our Immigration-Reduction Survey."



Candidates who have taken the NumbersUSA Immigration-Reduction Survey and agree on most of the important Immigration issues are called "True Reform" candidates. There are over 100 candidates running on November 2 who have earned “True Reform” status. But only two Tea Party candidates for Senate have taken the survey. Follow the links below to take a look at the seven races:



Sharron Angle – True Reformer – 2010 Nevada U.S. Senate Race

Marco Rubio – Did not take our Survey – 2010 Florida U.S. Senate Race

http://www.numbersusa.com/content/elections/races/southeast/florida/2010-florida-us-senate-primary.html



Only 2 of the 7 took the time to complete the very important Immigration-Reduction Survey. Sharron Angle and Joe Miller are “True Reformer” candidates.



Where do Ken Buck, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Christine O’Donnell and Marco Rubio stand on: (1) Sanctuary Cities, (2) Chain Migration, and (3) Visa Lottery? We just don’t know. We do know a few things about other immigration issues.



On Birthright Citizenship, Mike Lee wants to end it and Marco Rubio wants to keep it. Ken Buck, Rand Paul, and Christine O’Donnell have no statement either way. In 2008, about 344,000 babies were born to parents of whom at least one was an illegal immigrant. According to the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment in the Constitution, these babies are American citizens. These children represented 8% of the 4.3 million births in the United States that year. Of these Tea Party candidates on Birthright Citizenship, 3 want to change it (Angle, Miller, Lee), 1 one wants to keep it (Rubio) and the other 3 have no position (Buck, Paul, O’Donnell).



One Immigration issue all these candidates agree on is that Congress should fund and provide oversight for the full implementation of Border Security measures that are already signed into law. They also all agree that that national Healthcare is no good, Unemployment is too high, Bailouts don’t work and the Stimulus went wrong.



If there are candidates who you support but who have not completed our survey, please urge them to do so. There's still plenty of time for us to add their responses to our website. Click this Link or copy this link into your browser:

So there you have it; the world is watching. Get Out The Vote on November 2, 2010 and maybe you’ll see the ghost of Barry Goldwater drinking a cup of Tea.

Satan's False Advertising—Even in Christianity

An interesting article from http://www.ucg.org/ about Satan's influence, even in Christianity!! This follows this post about going to heaven. For a free magazine subscription click  HERE!!  or call 1-888-886-8632.


Satan's False Advertising—Even in Christianity
 
If you could see and meet the devil face to face, what would he look like? He is commonly depicted as a cartoon character in a red suit with a pitchfork or as a hideous-looking ghoul.



But neither of these characterizations is anywhere close to the truth. In reality, if you were to meet the devil, you would find him attractive, engaging and persuasive. Though he is really the prince of darkness, Satan successfully presents himself as "an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14).



Satan is a master of misrepresentation. He is the world's greatest advertiser, packaging his product so it seems attractive and appealing, while in reality it is poisonous and deadly. He wants his clients to see him as good, beneficent and trustworthy. He wants his product—sin and rejection of God—to appear enticing and inviting, and he is usually quite successful.



Satan never presents sin as it really is. He never presents both sides of the story, pro and con. He presents only what he wants us to see, something that appears fun and exciting. He wants us to focus on pleasure, on what feels or looks good at the moment. He wants long-term consequences to be the last thing on our minds while he entices us to sin.



The vast majority of people have lost sight of the real connection between cause and effect. We rarely hear or see that concept mentioned, much less discussed. Instead we hear people clamor for quick fixes to every problem, ease for every discomfort and a pill for every ailment. We seldom stop to consider the long-term consequences of our actions. (To better understand these principles, download or request your free copy of the booklet Why Does God Allow Suffering?)



Our approach is shortsighted and foolish. "Do not be deceived," cautions Paul. "God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow" (Galatians 6:7, New Revised Standard Version).



We live in a world that pays little attention to the long-term results of sin. We don't think through the consequences of our words and deeds, and we're constantly under pressure from a society that is built on Satan's standards and values rather than God's.



It's neither easy nor popular, considering the culture surrounding us, to adopt a different set of values and standards—those that God reveals. As Jesus said: "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world...the world hates you" (John 15:18-19). God's way will never be popular in this day and age.



Nevertheless, most people appear supremely confident that their ways are pleasing to God. They defend their religious beliefs and practices as being perfectly satisfactory and acceptable in God's eyes. They assume that all, or most, teachers and churches bearing the Christian name teach the truth. Few indeed stop to consider that Satan's great deception is not only worldwide, but has deeply infiltrated Christianity.



Notice the context of Paul's words when he writes that Satan appears as "an angel of light." In 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Paul warns of "false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ." We shouldn't be surprised at this, writes Paul, because "Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."



Is that possible? How could people who claim to represent Jesus Christ in reality be Satan's "ministers," his servants, used by the devil to spread deception?



Jesus Himself repeatedly warned of this very thing! He said that many would appropriate His name but deny Him by their actions. He stated: "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7:22-23). Of such, he asked, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46).



Jesus and His true apostles spoke of false apostles, false prophets and false brethren. Jesus further warned: "Take heed that no once deceives you. For many will come in My name and deceive many" (Matthew 24:4-5, 11). He knew that false teachers would arise who would teach a distorted, corrupted version of Christianity. That deception began in the first century, when Paul wrote that some were already teaching a "different gospel" and "pervert[ing] the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7).



To carry out his purpose, Satan uses some people to deceive other people. This is especially true when they are motivated by personal ambition to be teachers of spiritual matters but lack a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Satan simply takes advantage of that desire and seduces susceptible individuals to represent Christ falsely, though often sincerely, while advancing the devil's own deceptive, disguised agenda. Indeed, such teachers are usually unwitting agents of Satan, being deceived themselves along with everyone else.



Lest you be misled by this greatest of all of Satan's deceptions, you need to be sure that your beliefs are based firmly on the Bible.

Pro-Life Independent Tom Tancredo Surges to Virtual Tie in Colorado Gov. Race

Pro-Life Independent Tom Tancredo Surges to Virtual Tie in Colorado Gov. Race




By Peter J. Smith



DENVER, Colorado, October 25, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The race for Colorado’s governorship now shows a virtual tie between former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, a pro-life 3rd party candidate, and pro-abortion Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat.



Tancredo, a staunch pro-life, pro-family advocate known for his anti-illegal-immigration views, has surged into a dead heat with Hickenlooper, now that GOP candidate Dan Maes campaign has collapsed amid allegations of campaign finance abuse and flip-flopping on the issues.



Running on the American Constitution Party (ACP) ticket, Tancredo now picks up 43 percent of the vote, according to a poll of 1067 likely voters by Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies. Hickenlooper (D) leads by one point at 44 percent, while Maes trails in third at a meager 9 percent. The poll has a +/- 3 percent margin of error.



Magellan reveals that Tancredo is snapping up the support of most registered Republicans and has an edge over Hickenlooper when it comes to Independent voters. Seventy-eight percent of GOP voters have lined up behind Tancredo, abandoning Maes (15 percent), and 46 percent of Independents support Tancredo over Hickenlooper (38 percent).



Based on current trends, Magellan said a Tancredo surge would “not be surprising” on election day, especially if Maes support drops to 5 percent, and Independents continue to line up behind the ACP candidate.



A Public Policy Polling poll showed Hickenlooper over Tancredo by three points, within the poll’s +/- 3.4 percent margin of error, making the race a toss-up. However, the PPP findings also confirm Tancredo locking up the GOP vote (73 percent), and that he has a 46-44 edge with independents over Hickenlooper.



Hickenlooper was reported by the Denver Post to be an “abortion rights” supporter. The Denver mayor is endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado’s political action committee (PAC).



Tancredo entered the race after Maes captured the GOP primary nomination, saying that the scandal-plagued Maes was unable to beat the pro-abortion Democrat from Denver and should have given up the race so the GOP state committee could select a better candidate.



Tancredo’s bid was met initially with much ridicule from political pundits, and was expected to play a GOP spoiler, handing the governor’s race to Hickenlooper. Now the pundits are singing a different tune as Tancredo, not Maes, is in a position to seize the governorship on November 2.



During his ten years in Congress, Tancredo earned solid 100 percent ratings from the National Right to Life Committee, and zero percent ratings from the abortion advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America.



Both Tancredo and Maes have expressed support for Amendment 62, a Colorado ballot measure that would define personhood in state law to apply to human beings from the beginning of biological development. This would ban abortion and most forms of artificial birth control.



Maes also espouses pro-life positions on abortion, but angered some Colorado pro-life advocates for his selection of former state representative Tambor Williams as running mate, and hedging on major pro-life issues. Williams stated in August that she was “probably pro-life,” but then went on to say, “ I think there are times when pro-life has to give way to the best of choices”



For his part, Maes made a misstep by stating that while he is pro-life, the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is law of the land and he “would not try to undo that.” Later he said that while he endorsed Amendment 62, he believed it only had symbolic effect. Both positions caused Colorado Right to Life to revoke their endorsement and apologize to their constituents, even after Maes said he misspoke.



The last gubernatorial debate is this Friday, October 29, at 9 p.m. MST, on KCNC-TV (local channel 12).

Pennsylvania lawmakers questioning officials at state-funded university over Muslim prof's call for destruction of Israel


Of course, Kaukab Siddique's views are fairly commonplace on the wastelands of propaganda and indoctrination that are American universities these days. "Pa. prof's anti-Israel remarks concern lawmakers," from The Associated Press, October 22 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):



OXFORD, Pa. -- Two Pennsylvania lawmakers are questioning officials at a state-supported university after a professor publicly called for the destruction of Israel.

In a letter Wednesday to the president of Lincoln University, state Sens. Daylin Leach and Anthony Williams ask if the professor is expressing anti-Semitic views on campus.



Video of a Sept. 3 rally in Washington, D.C., shows tenured literature professor Kaukab Siddique saying Israel must be destroyed, "if possible by peaceful means."



Siddique tells The Philadelphia Inquirer that "I am against Israel - not against Jews."...
