Police: Blue Mound home invasion ‘very overt, very crazy’
By BILL (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

An overnight crime spree described by one officer as “very overt, very crazy” resulted in the death of one robber and the wounding on another in Blue Mound, police said.

Dakota Scott Benoit, 20, of Richland Hills was fatally wounded at about 12:23 a.m. after a resident in the 600 block of Globe Street wrestled a shotgun away during a fight with the robbers.

John Garland Pierson, 25, of Haltom City was in critical condition and police custody at the hospital.

The two men had kicked in the door of the home where two children, ages 5 and 12, were sleeping, said Blue Mound Lt. Thomas Cain.

They were met by the homeowner’s wife who shoved the muzzle of the sawed-off shotgun away from her face, Cain said. Her husband immediately joined the fray.

“Just think if you’re a mother and you have your children,” Cain said. “You’re going to fight like the devil, especially if you get a shotgun in your face.

“They took care of business.”

DEATH BY BUCKSHOT

The suspects took the loot and drove the family’s red van to the home in Blue Mound, police said. They kicked in the front door at about 12:23 p.m.

“And the fight was on,” Cain said.

The husband came to help his wife and struggled to free a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun away from one of the robbers, Cain said.

The weapon’s barrel, he added, had been illegally chopped down to 17 inches.

”One guy had a handgun and was shooting it,” Cain said. “He said they were going to kill them. Then the husband got the shotgun away.”

He fired once, and the single blast of buckshot struck both robbers, Cain said. Both men ran, but the one later identified as Benoit came back to fight again. “That’s when they dispatched him,” Cain said.

Benoit staggered across the street, Cain said, and collapsed on the curb.

Pierson, according to Henderson, ran to the office complex for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, 2600 Lou Menk Drive in Fort Worth, about a mile north of the home on Globe.

Railroad police found him trying to clean up in a company fountain, Henderson said.

Pierson was turned over to Fort Worth police and was then taken to John Peter Smith Hospital where he was in critical condition Wednesday, Henderson said.

Cain said he was preparing an arrest warrant for Pierson on a charge of burglary of habitation with intent to commit another felony.

Henderson speculated that the homeowner probably won’t face charges for killing Benoit, although it is common for a grand jury to review such a case.

Tarrant County records show Pierson has nine convictions dating back to 2000 on drug charges, theft, assault and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

He was most recently sentenced to 45 days in jail on July 17 on a misdemeanor conviction of possession of marijuana, records show.

Benoit was sentenced to three years deferred adjudication probation in May 2007 on two charges of possession of a controlled substance, one out of Haltom City and the other out of Euless.

Tarrant County court records show he also had a misdemeanor conviction for criminal trespassing.

Cain said he couldn’t explain why Benoit, having been hit once with buckshot, would come back to fight some more.

“A person in (his) right mind wouldn’t do that,” Cain said. “This (was) very overt, very crazy.

“It seems like they weren’t in their full faculties.”

This man and woman should have had 44 Magnums and other weapons at home; but absent that, they just took the weapons away from the burglars, killed one and sent the other to the critical care unit. Don’t mess with Texans!

$30,000 settles lawsuit over cop’s pro-‘gay’ intimidation
Traditional marriage advocates badgered, mocked by uniformed officer

A $30,000 settlement has been reached in a lawsuit brought by advocates for traditional family after a Florida cop working security for a conference badgered them and mocked marriage by kissing another male officer, according to officials for the organization promoting a Florida constitutional amendment that would define marriage as involving only one man and one woman.

The civil rights case was brought in the Southern District of Florida by Alliance Defense Fund-allied attorney Frederick “Rick” Nelson of the American Liberties Institute on behalf of the Florida Family Police Council for violations of the U.S. Constitution.

The harassment happened during a 2006 Promise Keepers conference at Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, when Sunrise police Sgt. Stephen Allen approached a table set up there to seek signatures on petitions to put the constitutional amendment on the Florida ballot.

According to a report from the Florida Family Policy Council, it had paid $800 to set up the table under a large tent at the conference. At the table, volunteers were busy collecting signatures when Allen, the duty officer “hired by the Broward-owned civic center,” approached and told volunteers the petitions could not be collected or be in “public view.” He ordered their immediately removal.

“The volunteers said they were mocked, harassed and threatened with being arrested for collecting the petitions, and then Allen personally confiscated the petitions. Sgt. Allen and Officer M. Allard, both male officers, further ridiculed the effort by appearing to kiss each other,” the report said.

We have had recent stories of police illegally entering the home of a mayor and roughing up the mayor and his family. At the DNC Convention in Denver, the police like Storm Troopers, attacked innocent young girls having a permit to make sidewalk drawings, they roughed up reporters investigating financial support for the DNC; and we have many stories in recent years wherein the police have violated the civil rights of Christians, always in defense of homosexuality. The police in this country, more and more seem to have an open hostility to people of faith, be liberal in their law enforcement policies and are supportive of homosexual conduct, even allowing sodomy and oral sexual relations on public streets.

Somehow the Democrats and the Homosexual Activists appear to have taken over many of our police departments and they are trampling on the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the rule of law.

The McCain campaign raised more than $10 million in the two and a half days after Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was named as the vice presidential running mate, bringing the total raised in the month of August to more than $47 million, campaign officials tell ABC News.

The final, official figures are expected to be reported in the next few days, but the amount appears to be a record for the McCain campaign, almost twice as much as it has raised in any other single month.

“We’re still counting,” said campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.
———————————-

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain raised at least $47 million in August, his biggest haul of money so far and a sign that he is dispelling doubts about his campaign among conservative donors.
Two campaign officials discussed the fundraising Monday on the condition of anonymity because the numbers had not been officially tallied.

The amount was just shy of the $50 million that Democratic rival Barack Obama raised in July. Obama campaign officials would not comment on their August fundraising. The campaigns do not have to submit their August financial reports to the Federal Election Commission until Sept. 20.

Forget about V.P. picks, polls or any other such matters, there is one great way to keep track of the chances that a candidate can really win - MONEY and lots of it. Although, with Palin helping raise $10 million this month for McCain-Palin, I would live to see how much money Biden has brought into the Obama Campaign.

Armed boy, 11: ‘I’m learning how to kill Jewish children’
Terror training showcased in uprooted Jewish cities

JERUSALEM – In what some may view as a complete turning of the tables, several major Palestinian terrorist organizations this past weekend staged what they called military training exercises on the grounds of Gush Katif, the former slate of Jewish communities inside the Gaza Strip that were uprooted by Israel three years ago.
The exercises were aimed at preparing for attacks against Israel, said terrorist leaders.
“The old (Jewish) settlements gave the Palestinian resistance enough space to have big trainings. We never had this space and these possibilities when the Zionists were in Gaza,” Abu Muhammad, a senior Gaza-based leader of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, told WND in an interview.

This weekend, the Popular Resistance Committees terrorist organization showcased its own training in the evacuated Gaza Jewish town of Kfar Darom, which previously housed tree-lined Jewish streets replete with synagogues and Jewish seminaries.
Notable about the Committees training was that it included dozens of boys between the ages of nine and twelve, according to Committees leaders.
The Ynetnews Israeli website featured an interview with one young Committees recruit, an 11-year-old boy named Muhammad pictured holding an assault rifle.
“I am learning how to fight the Jews and kill Jewish children,” Muhammad told Ynetnews. “I would rather die fighting the occupation than die at home from a missile, which is what happened to hundreds of Palestinian children.”
Committees terror group spokesman Muhammad Abdel-Al, also known as Abu Abir, told WND yesterday his group was not brainwashing children.
“We are not educating them on hatred. [Bullshit!] This is our strategy – to turn all the Palestinian people into weapons of resistance,” Abdel-Al said when questioned about his group’s use of boys.

Those peace loving Muslims, ya just gotta love em!

Of course, Olmert is buzy selling out Israel, with the help of Secretary Rice before Olmert gets kicked to the curb later this year.

Islamic rules imposed on non-Muslims

Non-Muslim members of a town’s council have been informed by e-mail they need to follow the strict fasting requirements of Islam during Ramadan because their Muslim colleagues are.

“Once again the selfishness of Islam has struck non-Muslims,” said a commentary at Islam in Action 08, which reported on the issue. “Muslims continue to show us that they have no respect for the beliefs of non-Muslims nor can they be trusted. They were given trust by being voted into these positions and now they are using the power given to them against non-Muslims.”

According to a report in the Daily Mail the orders came from officials at the East London municipality called Tower Hamlets.

The town has established a reputation for being progressive by calling its get-together for staff at Christmas a “festive meal.” But now the e-mail instructions say drink and food should be restricted – for all council members no matter their religion – during Ramadan, and other accommodations are being made for Muslims.

On the paper’s comment page, one participant said, “I do not care what a person (sic) faith is – just DO NOT impose them on me. … WHAT NEXT I ask!”

What’s next, impose Islamic rules on all Non-Muslims in a town with a large number of Muslims? Islam is a religion of force, not competely unlike how the Democrat Party acted in Denver, and when they think they have enough numbers and power in a town or a nation (See Indonesia, a religiously tolerant, ha ha, nation), they always force non-Muslims to respect their faith and follow its rules. Funny, when Muslims are in the minority, they never respect the rules or traditions of others though!

California plans to drug depressed patients to death
‘Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror’

Just as Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama was in Denver preaching to a crowd of thousands of fans about the “change” he wants to see in the United States, his party compatriots in the California Legislature were making a “change,” by approving a controversial plan that would allow nurses to assist terminally ill patients with suicide.

“AB 2747 allows a physician assistant or a nurse to opine that a patient is ‘terminal,’ and then push for unnatural death by ‘palliative sedation,’” said Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and Families shortly after the vote.

“Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged unconscious and die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days. Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror,” he said.

Forty-two Democrats in California voted in favor of the plan: 30 Republicans and two Democrats opposed the plan.

The bill does not otherwise attempt to expressly define terminal illness that each of these health care professionals would have to diagnose to trigger the offer of counseling end of life options. It is not clear why nurse practitioners and physician assistants could make such a significant diagnosis. It is further not clear from the bill how making such significant diagnoses on a case-by-case basis can be done by such practitioners and assistants based on so-called ‘standardized procedures and protocols’ not further defined by the bill. The potential effect of AB 2747 is extremely broad and could cause irrevocable harm.”

Added Republican Doug La Malfa of Yuba City: “We really go down a slippery slope when we contemplate the ending of life in such a way that it could be coerced. You have people in a very precarious situation, in a very awkward situation, that when thrust upon them with options to end their life, you have people that may feel like they have no use anymore. They feel like they’re not of value anymore, and that taking one of these options, they may feel, is the only way out, that they’ve become a burden to their family or to someone else. I would hate to put people in that kind of position. They’re already feeling vulnerable, and now, confronted with ways to end your life – this is a very delicate and, I think, dangerous idea here. You could have people like heirs that are anxious to get the estate started and quietly coercing people into making decisions like this.”

“Total sedation (TS) – called by some ‘terminal sedation,’ ‘palliative sedation,’ or ‘slow euthanasia’ – is a protocol recently added to the lexicon of contemporary medical interventions and is a construct actively promulgated by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO),” wrote Dr. Howard M. Ducharme, past chair of the philosophy department at the University of Akron. “It is defined as ‘the application of pharmacotherapy to induce a state of decreased or absent awareness (unconsciousness) in order to relieve the burden of otherwise intractable suffering. However, any quick acceptance of TS would be ill-advised because of the many ‘devils in the details.’”

First, to be honest a Nurse Practioner is not the same as a nurse as the lead paragraph suggests. Nurse Practioners and Physician’s Assistants have much more medical education and practice under the supervision of a licensed physician.

Next, the words of the bill were modified to not use the words “palliative sedation,” to make it appear much less severe, but it is worded in such a manner as to allow “palliative sedation” regardless.

Under “do no harm” and the general concept of saving lives, IMO, no medical person should ever be allowed to counsel or encourage assisted suicide, which is active euthanasia, which is state sanctioned murder.

Palliative sedation for the amelioration of severe or unbearable pain should be permitted to the point of ending the pain, even if unconsciousness and/or death occurs; and the administration of that medication (dosage and frequency) can be in direct control of the patient’s, not, I mean never medical practioners. This is done all the time after major surgery.

The withholding of nutrition and hydration is active euthanasia and like this non-physician assisted suicide is likewise state santioned murder and should, IMO, in every case not be permitted by health care professionals.

If patients are in a depressed state, whether non-physician assisted suicide is lawful or not, they are NOT qualified to give proper consent.

There are options available fo people that want to commit self-murder, but neither the state in any fashion nor any health care professinals should, IMO, ever be allowed to assist in that self-murder, as then they become accessories to murder, some directly, but all in our name and therein we have taken one more step towards eliminating social undesireables under the cloak of helping the severely despressed “off” themselves.

When news broke yesterday that Republican presidential candidate John McCain had named little-known Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate, religion writers across the country and the curious in the blogosphere scrambled to figure out her denominational affiliation.

Palin was briefly touted as the first Pentecostal to run on a major party ticket. A spokesperson, however, told the Associated Press yesterday that although the 44-year-old mother of five grew up in the Assemblies of God, the largest organized Pentecostal denomination in the world with an estimated 57 million members, she does not consider herself a “Pentecostal.”

Her primary place of worship in Juneau, Alaska’s capital, is said to be the “Church on the Rock,” an independent congregation founded in January 2000. Palin’s spokesperson, however, said the governor also attends different churches.

The initial confusion surrounding Palin’s denominational identity, therefore, has a simple explanation: She doesn’t have one.

Instead, Palin appears to be part of that rapidly expanding galaxy of “post-denominational” Christianity, where elements of Evangelical and Pentecostal styles of faith and worship fuse into a myriad of unique local combinations, and where old denominational loyalties are essentially dead.

I feel much the same as Palin about my own faith, if these reports are true. Yet, in a politician, I am always a little wary of their desire to avoid all labels, as if the person wants to hide something, for good or ill; and, because the one thing labels achieve is to reveal ones core beliefs. Also, I have to wonder if there is a sense of embarassment at being identified with a group like evangelicals or Pentecostals because it makes the her ‘appear’ to be too into Jesus, a Jesus freak, too extreme in her beliefs, too committed to her faith.

As I said the avoidance of denominational labels doesn’t bother me, I am much the same. I am pursuaded that Palin has very strong core, pro-family, high ethical values. I only shared this to pose the question I am asking myself, to other people, why does she seem to want to avoid any label in this matter?

As to how this might impact Christian voters:

Finally, there’s a bit of political irony for Catholics. Given Palin’s strong pro-life credentials, it’s likely she will appeal to the most strongly “denominational” Catholics, those most devoted to traditional Catholic identity and teaching. Meanwhile, what one might call “post-denominational Catholics,” meaning those for whom religious branding carries less theological significance, may embrace Palin’s Democratic rival, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, the lone Roman Catholic on either ticket, because of his progressive stands on social and political matters.

In other words, the denominationalists on the Catholic side will back the post-denominationalist, while the Catholic post-denominationalists will probably pick the candidate who bears the Catholic denominational label.

Please don’t read very much at all into MY comments, I like asking myself such questions as to the motives behind some of our actions and felt others might be interested in the description in this story of Palin’s faith, not in my private musings.

Dem cops cuff, stuff Christian girls
Sidewalk chalk messages challenged Obama’s moral positions

By the use of force, using our own police forces, we are witnessing episode after episode across this country and especially at the DNC Convention, of the First Amendment being trampled on by the Democrats. Even prior permission to protest is not protection against the thugs with badges doing the bidding of the Democrats in silencing oppposition, even peaceful opposition to their policies.

DENVER – Two teenagers who had been given city permission to write their messages protesting Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s support for abortion on public sidewalks during the Democratic National Convention this week were shoved to the sidewalk, cuffed and arrested for doing just that.

Jayne White, 17, was arrested for chalking sidewalk messages critical of Barack Obama’s support for abortion

The two are part of the Survivors organization, a Christian, pro-life activism group dedicated to educating and activating high school and college age individuals.

It is called Survivors because those born after 1972 are survivors of the abortion holocaust, the group said. “One-third of your generation has been killed by abortion in America.”

Spokeswoman Danielle Versluys told WND the group had consulted with Denver city officials as well as police prior to the DNC, and had been told that chalk messages on sidewalks would be allowed. Even though the city’s deputy chief was in the meeting, that message apparently didn’t get forwarded to officers on the street.

Just about the time Obama, an ardent abortion supporter whose advocacy for the procedure has gone even further than that of the National Abortion Rights Action League, was making a surprise visit to the DNC meeting at which vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden was speaking to the crowds, the girls

“I was peacefully sidewalk chalking when I was forcefully pushed to ground by a police officer from behind,” Jayne White, 17, described. “As I was being cuffed on the ground, the police officer pushed his knee into the back of my neck. I was pulled roughly off the ground and taken away. I was given no warning to stop and was completely shocked when I was arrested.’

Julia Giacopuzzi, age 15, was surprised by a police officer twisting her arms behind her back and using them to lift her off the ground to be handcuffed.

“I was rushed by a police officer without warning and lifted up off the ground and was cuffed. I was then dragged by the police into the Westin Hotel,” she said.

Throughout the DNC, the youthful members of the organization have been using sidewalk chalk to raise attention to the issue of life with the permission of City Attorney David Fine and Denver Deputy Chief of Police John Lamb.

“It was understood by the young women that sidewalk chalk was an accepted medium, and they were given no warning by the police before being cuffed and dragged away,” the group said.

Worse, no matter how The First Amendment is being violated, there is apparently little we can do about it, after all the Left have the police with weapons and the government is doing all it can to disarm AMERICA!

ABC Suggests Viewing Obama ‘A Religious Experience’

On the Obama Messiah watch, in the last half-hour of ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday, anchor Chris Cuomo interviewed photographer Pete Souza who has a new book of Obama photographs. In addition to cooing over photos of the Obama daughters and Obama with the Kennedys, Cuomo highlighted photos of women looking adoringly at Obama: “And now, of course, the insight you’re able to capture out on the trail. You say, it’s so much like a religious experience for people as they meet him. Let’s see the view that you get. Look at them with their hands clasped.” Hallowed be thy name, Barack?

Before that, Cuomo saw ”a continuum of leadership” from Abe Lincoln to Martin Luther King to Obama. Souza highlighted a rather pedestrian photo of Obama reading a magazine in his office, strangely touting his ability to relax. (Like so few Americans can?

Yeah, the Messiah image is all a Right Wing Plot, right?

It felt like a very warm Democratic family gathering at ABC, the supposedly nonpartisan news outlet.

ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors

DENVER—Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he was attempting to take pictures of Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.

A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker’s neck, then twisted the producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.

A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.

It was two hours later when Denver police arrived to place Eslocker under arrest, apparently based on a complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel, a central location for Democratic officials.

During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, “You’re lucky I didn’t knock the f..k out of you.” Eslocker was released late today after posting $500 bond.

Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.

Our sense of Free Speech, Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Worship in the public square is all but dead, trampled on by politicians and the cops.

DENVER – The “faith community” has taken on a new dimension at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, with advocates saying poverty has replaced same-sex marriage as an issue for Christians.

ABSOLUTE, UTTER NONSENSE!

“an array of theologies assembled in Denver for the DNC reaches far, according to a report in the Denver Post. Attending a convention-opening interfaith gathering were the likes of Ingrid Mattson of the Islamic Society of North America, Rabbi Tzvi Weinreb of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and Sister Helen Prejean.

Jim Wallis, an evangelical political activist who wrote “God’s Politics” and founded the “progressive” magazine and community Sojourners, said the country is undergoing a change, and “poverty has replaced gay marriage as a galvanizing issue for Christians.”

Leaders also cited climate change, Darfur and Iraq as “religious” issues.

Becky Vanderslice organized a group of Denver clergy to advocate for the “common values” of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, and said differences don’t “represent the values held … poverty, immigration reform, human rights, economic issues.”

A bunch of liberal religious types gather together to decide, without any supporting data nor authority within the community of faith that, Christians now find the liberal political agenda of greater importance to people of faith than abortion, homosexual marriage, family values or whatever else has always been their top spiritual priorites. What enormous hubris, it is vanity beyond belief that they believe they speak for the Christian Church. Further, there are no common values between Christianity and Islam, they are as foreign to one another as if they came from different planets.

Yes, there are liberals within the various Christian denominations that are pushing a secular, global minded, green and socialist agenda and they have their followers; but they hardly speak for a very large number of Christians, nor do they represent true Christianity which is not involved in the affairs of this world, but rather primarily in spreading the Gospel message of Jesus Christ throughout the earth. If these liberal minded folk are not advancing that Gospel and submission to Christ, they are Christian in name only, attaching Christ’s Name to their personal, liberal political agenda without any biblical warrant.

The good news is, their nonsense will not impact how Christians, especially evangelicals vote.

What an apt metaphor, while the Democrats meet to battle over which party gets to run the country and defend the Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights, Freedom of Speech is confined to a wire fence, a cage; 700 feet away from the convention center, where it cannot contaminate the politcians.

When politicians fear free speech and are willing and able to effectively silence their detractors, the Bill of Rights is dead and should be given a decent funeral.

So long old friend, it was nice having you around!

DENVER (AP) - A small group of protesters has marched to the demonstration zone outside the Democratic National Convention, complaining they are being treated like political prisoners.
A contingent from the protest group Recreate 68 Alliance went to the fenced-off zone on Monday, even though they had vowed earlier they would never return.

Protesters derisively call the 47,000-square foot zone the “Freedom Cage.” It’s separated from the parking lot around the convention hall by metal fences atop concrete barriers.

It’s about 700 feet from the Pepsi Center, where the delegates will gather starting Monday night.

Obama’s Christian Confession

“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” John Jay the first Supreme Court Justice

For those of you that disagree with this statement by our First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 1789-1795; then this article will be of absolutely no interest to you at all. It will be a waste of your time.

For those that like John Jay prefer real Christians as our rulers, then it might interest you to know something about Barak H. Obama’s public confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Was it a mere intellectual profession in the historical Jesus, or a true conversion to Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Obama’s mother said she was a Christian at one time, but according to Obama and his sister, she became an agnostic that was more secular in her thinking and like Oprah Winfrey, a high profile Obama supporter, she believed that all religions were but different paths to the same God and eternal life in Heaven. I have often thought of the Winfrey Doctrine as a Chinese Menu Religion, if you don’t like what you see in Column-A, then go to Column-B and through the alphabet until you find a religion that makes you feel good and it doesn’t matter, because they all lead to God.

Regarding his purported faith in Christ as Savior, after the death of his agnostic, Christ rejecting, all-religions are the same beliefs mother, Obama said he believes that it doesn’t matter that his mother is in Heaven. Jesus said faith in Him alone was the only way unto Salvation, but Obama feels it is okay to reject what Jesus said and instead essentially embrace what his mother and Oprah believe; that is, that everyone gets to Heaven no matter what they believe.

How can any Christian hold two such contradictory beliefs at the same time and be faithful to either?

Obama’s father was a Muslim turned atheist, a grandfather that helped raise him was an animist (all things are living souls). Obama attended a Catholic School in Indonesia, but nonetheless was sufficiently indoctrinated in Islam that he can recite and speaks about the beauty of the Islamic Morning and Evening Prayers and he feels Islam and Christianity are compatible and can live side by side.

He still speaks of his faith still as a journey, which by his many words and the track record of his parents and close family could just as easily lead him to an agnosticism or Universalist approach to faith while in office.  He speaks of admiring the Deists among our Founding Fathers, while he does not seem to find any Christians among them or former presidents worthy of his admiration and he says he finds no answers in the Bible to many of the great questions of life. Obama is an adherent to the Black Liberation Theology, a social-political activist brand of humanistic faith, that rejects the historical Jesus for a new African Jesus and sees white people, as do Muslims, as the devil.

While no one can judge the heart of another man, and we Christians are commanded not to judge the eternal fate of anyone; it seems by all the above and much more about Obama’s Christian Faith and his support for homosexual marriage and abortion on demand that, there is good reason to doubt the sincerity of his professed faith and it seems to me that Christian Voters may want to meditate on that very distinct possibility, before they cast their vote for a candidate that appears not to have any real core Christian values to guide him as POTUS.

A note on Biden’s Roman Catholic Faith, he is a menu type Catholic, he directly opposes the Church’s teaching on Abortion and Homosexuality, which means he too seems to have no core Christian values to guide him in a crisis.

This is not meant to JUDGE either man, but to encourage Christians to examine their alleged faith of both men much more closely before voting.

Democrat sues Sen. Obama over ‘fraudulent candidacy’

While we have all had questions about Obama’s citizenship, it is interesting that a Democrat has collected the information and is suing to have Obama declared ineligible to run for POTUS.

A prominent Pennsylvania Democrat has sued Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and, therefore, is not eligible to be president of the United States.

Philip J. Berg, a former member of Pennsylvania’s Democratic State Committee and former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, filed the lawsuit this week in U.S District Court, asking the court to declare Obama ineligible for the presidency and to prevent him from running for the position.

A separate motion was also filed seeking a temporary restraining order on Obama’s presidential campaign until Obama’s eligibility can be verified.

The lawsuit claims Barack Obama’s eligibility is questionable on several grounds, including the allegation that he was born in Kenya to parents unable to automatically grant him American citizenship, that his Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery, that he was made a citizen of Indonesia as a child and that he retained foreign citizenship into adulthood without recording an oath of allegiance to regain any theoretical American citizenship.

In short, the suit claims Obama was not born an American citizen, lost any hypothetical American citizenship he had as a child, may not now be an American citizen and even if he is, may hold dual citizenships with other countries. If any, much less all, of these allegations are true, the suit claims, Obama cannot constitutionally serve as president.

When I suggested this a few weeks ago, people I respect like Bat One said SCOTUS would never accept such a case, I think that was his position. But, it would be fascinating to watch this unfold and witness whether or not the liberal American people care if our President is an American Citizen.

For example, the suit alleges that while records exist of a “registry of birth” for Obama in Hawaii (filed four days after his claimed birthday), no records exist of his mother’s stay in any Hawaii hospital, suggesting she may have given birth elsewhere and filed the registration shortly thereafter on American soil.

“Obama’s grandmother on his father’s side, half brother and half sister claim Obama was born in Kenya,” the suit states. “Reports reflect Obama’s mother went to Kenya during her pregnancy; however, she was prevented from boarding a flight from Kenya to Hawaii at her late stage of pregnancy, which apparently was a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight. Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama) gave birth to Obama in Kenya, after which she flew to Hawaii and registered Obama’s birth.”

The suit further claims that the Republicans “sent a research team to Mombasa, Kenya and located a Certificate Registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr. at a Maternity Hospital, to his father, a Kenyan Citizen and his mother, a U.S. Citizen.”

Even if Obama produced authenticated proof of his birth in Hawaii, however, the suit claims that the U.S. Nationality Act of 1940 provided that minors lose their American citizenship when their parents expatriate. Since Obama’s mother married an Indonesian citizen and moved to Indonesia, the suit claims, she forfeited both her and Barack’s American citizenship

Will this have any legs? What would happen if Obama even “appears,” by credible evidence to not be a natural born citizen?

Christian Theology Students Forced off Campus by Mob of Islamic Hard-liners

Tell Obama to go and negotiate with these peace loving Muslims, in a secualr, allegedly religiously tolerant nation, where even their President fears to upset the Muslim terorists.

JAKARTA, Indonesia —  Hundreds of Christian theology students have been living in tents since a mob of angry Muslim neighbors stormed their campus last month wielding bamboo spears and hurling Molotov cocktails.

The incident comes amid growing concern that Indonesia’s tradition of religious tolerance is under threat from Islamic hard-liners.

In talks since the attack, the Arastamar Evangelical School of Theology has reluctantly agreed to shut its 20-year-old campus in east Jakarta, accepting an offer this week to move to a small office building on the other side of the Indonesian capital.

“Why should we be forced from our house while our attackers can walk freely?” asked the Rev. Matheus Mangentang, chairman of the 1,400-student school.

The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which relies on the support of Islamic parties in Parliament, is struggling to balance deep Islamic traditions and a secular constitution. With elections coming next April, the government seems unwilling to defend religious minorities, lest it be portrayed as anti-Islamic in what is the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.

Islam is not now, it never has been and never will be tolerant of infidels, reserving their most virulent hatred for Jews and running a close second are Christians. The only thing they understand is force, not that even force will stop their attacks on all infidels, just that it will reduce the frequency and severity of such attacks. There is NO meaningful negotiations nor any peaceful coexistence with Islam!
