One can really tell that the International Herald Tribune is the sister publication of the New York Times. Like the New York Times, the IHT never saw a liberal it didn’t love or a conservative it didn’t hate – or a fact its editors couldn’t spin.

The Times generally uses the IHT as its international hit man, reserving its own pages to advance the policies of the Democrat Party.

The IHT ran a story entitled “Is Global Rebranding What Israel Needs?” The piece opened by recognizing Israel as the world’s pariah state:

Its sports teams have met hostility and violent protests in Sweden, Spain and Turkey. Mauritania has closed the Israeli Embassy. Relations with Turkey, an important Muslim ally, have suffered severely. A group of top international judges and human rights investigators recently called for an investigation into Israel’s actions in Gaza. “Israel Apartheid Week” drew participants in 54 cities around the world this month, twice the number of last year, according to its organizers. And even in the American Jewish community, albeit in its liberal wing, there is a chill.

Having established that everybody hates Israel (even liberal Jews), the columnist, Ethan Bronner, went on to build his case that Israel deserves it:

Of course, for Israel’s critics, including those who firmly support the existence of a Jewish state, the problem is not one of image but of policy. They say that four decades of occupation, the settling of half a million Israeli Jews on land captured in 1967, the economic strangling of Gaza for the past few years and the society’s growing indifference toward a Palestinian state are all reasons Israel has lost favor abroad, and that no amount of image buffing will change that.

Does anybody remember how Israel ended up “occupying” the land it “captured” in 1967? Israel captured it after beating back the combined forces of the Arab world that had launched a war of annihilation against Israel. And this wasn’t the first pan-Arab war aimed at annihilating the Jews – it was the third.

Israel fought them off in 1948. And again in 1956. And then again in 1967. And once again in 1973. This strip of land, so coveted by the Arab world, amounts to less than one-sixth of one percent of the Muslim Middle East.

While we’re on the subject, does anybody remember what it was that spurred the Jews to return to their ancestral homeland in the first place? It was the Holocaust.

The Holocaust wasn’t personally perpetrated by Adolf Hitler. Hitler never killed a single Jew. It was perpetrated by the Germans – aided by Frenchmen, Italians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Arabs, et al, while the Allies did their best not to notice.

The Palestinian State that the rest of the world insists that Israel owes the Palestinians could have been theirs in 1947. They turned it down in favor of a war of annihilation.

Does anybody recall exactly why Israel went back into Gaza? It was because Palestinian terrorists fired more than six thousand rockets into Israeli cities and towns.

The reason that Israel is a pariah nation has absolutely nothing to do with Israeli policies. Israel was a pariah nation before it even had time to formulate national policies. As already noted, long before there was an Israel, the world tried to exterminate the Jews.

After there was an Israel, the Arabs tried to exterminate the Jews. It isn’t the Israeli state – it is the Jews that the world finds so offensive. But what has really caused this race of people to be so hated? This kind of racial hatred is unprecedented in history.

The true reason is this: Israel stands, as God intended, a sign to the nations. Israel was created as a visible proof of the true God’s existence.

Israel’s God of Love and mankind’s redemption stands in sharp contrast to the gods of other religions. Islam’s God is one of war and conquest. Conversion to it is at the point of sword. Its goal is to force the world into submission.

As the Bible declares, Israel was created to receive, write down and preserve God’s Word. It was created to be the race through whom the Savior of the World would be born. Even their failures and disciplines were predicted in order that it would be a proof of the truth of God’s Word. Their ultimate restoration to the land promised their forefathers was predicted in detail. These prophecies have been fulfilled before the eyes of our era.

All of this is lost on the liberal media, just as it apparently has been on the liberal Obama administration. The World Tribune reported this week that Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi cut short his visit to Washington after getting an “extraordinarily cool” reception from the new U.S. administration.

General Ashkenazi reportedly attempted to arrange meetings with President Obama, Vice President Biden and intelligence czars Bob Gates, Dennis Blair or Michael Mullen. None of them would see him. He had valuable intelligence information about Iran to share with them.

The Tribune quoted an unnamed diplomat who told them, “The administration is sending a very clear message to Israel, and this is we want to talk about Palestine and not Iran.”

When an Iranian-made atomic bomb hits the U.S., they may wish they had never said this.

And Israel Today is reporting that the Obama administration is not just cool to Israel. It alleges that President Obama “is about to break America’s long ties of friendship with Israel, and maybe even take steps toward the dissolution of the Jewish state.”

If true, America is in even more serious trouble than even the most pessimistic assessment can reflect. If America betrays Israel, then America is rejecting the Word of Israel’s God.

The Bible warns, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31) Fearful? That is an understatement of Biblical proportions.

I used to quote a wise saying: “History teaches us that man learns nothing from history.” That doesn’t really apply today. This generation doesn’t even know history – and the liberal media reports the news counting on that.

Another great post by Hal Lindsey…

The Democrat reaction to talk-show host Rush Limbaugh’s comment that he hopes President Obama “fails” reminds me of the classic line from the movie “Casablanca.”

As Inspector Renault pockets his winnings from the gambling tables, he orders “Rick’s Place” closed. When Humphrey Bogart’s character, Rick, protests, Renault (Claude Raines) exclaims loudly, “I’m shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here.”

The Democrats are shocked, shocked to find that Rush Limbaugh doesn’t want the socialist agenda of the most liberal president in American history to succeed. Shocked, I say!

It isn’t that Rush Limbaugh’s comments need defending – they don’t. America is not a monarchy or a dictatorship. We still have freedom of speech – at least, for the time being. What American president in our history has been above criticism?

America is a constitutional republic, not a socialist democracy. Obama has made no secret of his desire to advance socialist democratic principles. So he and his cohorts should expect vigorous objections from those who know and believe in the U.S. Constitution.

I don’t want to see Obama succeed in turning America into a socialist worker’s paradise, either. Socialism has been proven wrong in every place it has been tried.

The president is not the State. Wanting Obama to fail is not the same as wanting America to fail. Indeed, from Rush Limbaugh’s perspective, it is the equivalent of wanting America to succeed.

The outrage being ginned up by the Democrats is therefore phony on its face. It would be ridiculous to the point of humorous if it weren’t so revealing.

First off, it reveals the degree to which many Americans still regard President Obama as “The One.” They are evidently incapable of separating what is good for Barack Obama from what is good for America.

It is this group that scares me the most. Barack Obama is not America. He is America’s current and temporary leader.

The next president could reverse any or all of Obama’s policies as quickly as Obama reversed those of President Bush, which brings us to the second point about this phony outrage.

Entire factions of the Democrat Party not only announced their desire to see President Bush fail, but proclaimed their intention to actively work toward the failure of the Bush presidency.

There was no Bush policy too important to the country to be permitted to succeed, and no price too high to pay if it ensured his failure.

Even though young Americans were spilling their blood on foreign soil to win in Iraq, the phonies at home were arguing for their failure, so long as it meant President Bush’s failure.

The Democrats were so effective in convincing the public that it was possible to support the troops while hoping that they lose that they made losing the war part of their campaign strategy. As late as last year, Democrat James Clyburn admitted his fear that a favorable report from Gen. Petraeus about the Iraq war “could be a real problem for democrats.”

In August 2006, just before the mid-term elections that crowned Nancy Pelosi America’s first queen, a Fox News Opinion Dynamics Poll asked the question: Would you say you want President Bush to succeed or not?

Ninety percent of Republicans wanted him to succeed. Sixty-three percent of Independents wanted him to succeed. Fifty-one percent of Democrats said they did not. That’s a majority. A slim one, but a majority is a majority.

If wanting a presidential agenda to “fail” because you disagree with it is somehow un-American or disloyal, doesn’t that make the 51 percent of Democrats in this poll guilty also?

The most frightening thing about this whole Limbaugh smear campaign is how seriously many Americans are taking it. It shows that they must think Barack Obama is America. Seig Hiel!

I received this as an email that included the original post. We had prior warning of Obama’s anti-Israel tendencies, particularly because of his tutelage under Khaldi- “Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.” WND

And now, it seems, when given an opportunity to stand in support of Israel, Obama spits in the face of the very people who mourned, more than many of America’s own citizens, the 9-11 attacks and showed their solidarity and support of America during those bleak days by putting the American flag and the Israeli flag on the front of their major news sorce proclaiming their unity with America!

Gaza was not the victim! I repeat, Gaza was the offender! Hamas has fired thousands of Quassam rockets into Israeli towns with ZERO concern for her people, in fact, they are offering these acts of evil on an altar to Allah, and to kill an infidel- a Christian or a Jew, is as high as offering oneself up through martyrdom. They are AIMING for Jewish citizens.

Playing savior to the Islamic nation, this sympathy for Gaza ignores the years of assault enacted upon Israel. One has to wonder why he is comfortable taking in “refugees” from Israel’s response to her ongoing attacks, while seemingly ignoring the ongoing trauma Israel has undergone.

To quote Benjamin Netanyahu, “If the Arabs put down their weapons, there’d be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there’d be no more Israel.”

The problem, Obama, is not Israel! The answer is not Khalidi and his anti-West, anti-Israel eradication efforts! And the answer is certainly not spending millions of dollars  bringing Palestinian terror-monger immigrants to our backyards in the name of apologizing for our, necessary, War on Terror! Here’s the email…

“President Barack Obama has signed an executive order  
presidential determination allowing hundreds of thousands of  
Palestinians to resettle in the United States. Sure, what can go  
wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have  
been, as Mark Steyn memorably described, “marinated” in a “sick  
death cult,” who voted for Hamas, and 55% of whom support  
suicide bombings live here and at the American taxpayers’  
expense:

 By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the  
expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the  
Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

 The “presidential determination” which allows hundreds of  
thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the  
United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the  
Federal Register on February 4.

 President Obama’s decision, according to the Register, was  
necessitated by “the urgent refugee and migration needs” of the  
“victims.”

 Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free  
ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals  
who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic  
Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of  
January 2006.Let’s review some of Barack Obama’s most recent  
actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks  
ago:

 * His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud  
Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

 * His first one on one interview with any news organization was with  
Al Arabia television.

 * He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of  
detainees halted.

 * He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

 * He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS  
Cole and 9/11.
  *  Today we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of  
Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American  
taxpayer expense.

 Anyone else seeing a pattern here?”

10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto:

1.Abolition of (private) property and land and application of all rents of land to public purposes

2.A heavy progressive or graduated income tax

3.Abolition of all rights of inheritance

4.Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels

5.Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank

6.Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State

7.Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State

8.Equal liability of all to labour

9.Gradual abolition of of the distinction between town and country by a more equal distribution of population over the country

10.Free education for all children in public schools (where they can further indoctrinate them away from God and into the Communist way of thinking)

According to the Communist Manifesto, all of these were prior conditions for a transformation from capitalism to communism.

Are you getting chills yet?

Russian Prime Minister Putin has been quoted as warning the US to avoid “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the State’s omnipotence.” Advising that we take a lesson from Russian history, he went on to say, “In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the State’s role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see this repeated.”

From someone who has been there and has walked down the ugly, dark corridor that is Communism, Putin exhorts America to avoid it!

One need only read through the planks list once to see how we have implemented these in our society, many of them having materialized since the new administration took office.

The words “socialism” and “communism” should not be taken commercially or lightly. Wake up, America! We aren’t using these phrases to try to get under the nails of those who think differently, but because we have a very small window of time to speak out in warning before we are jailed for being “rebels.”

The Republican party needs to STOP playing kindergarten and bickering with one another, pick a clear and bold leader, and demand this country back to the principles that formed and made this country great, or we risk irreversible consequences that ensure the dissolving of  this once great nation and a fade out into the “empires of old” oblivion.

Let us not just become a page in a history book! Resist Communism!

There is a movement going on inside the bowels of Christianity. It is a spiritual deception of great; a plague of biblical proportions, with far-reaching consequences that I fear is the Matthew reference that will “deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Satan attempted the first time to prevent the coming of Jesus, our Messiah, by trying to curse the bloodline through ancestral-sin, and when that didn’t work, he’s had to try to curse the spiritual bloodline through deceptive spirituality to try to prevent Christ from claiming that which he paid for.

I’m speaking about the contemplative spirituality movement, a.k.a the New Age movement, the emerging church, spiritual formation, the “silence”, the “stillness”, “ancient wisdom”, “spiritual disciplines”, a new kind of Christian, holistic spirituality, meditation- several guises that mean the same thing. In fact, Lighthouse Trails, an organization that exists to shed light into this spiritual deception, shares at least 32 names that this practice might otherwise be known- Lectio Devina, Yoga, Centering Prayer, Labyrinths, Breathing Prayer- the list goes on. Warning us about this coming deception, the book of Acts tells us, “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.”

Touted by leading “evangelical” leaders, leaders of other religions, and secularists of all kinds, this Not-So-New Age deception is spreading like a wildfire in its attempts to rectify all religions and bring them under a unilateral doctrine, or interspirituality, teaching, both pantheism (God IS all things) and panentheism (God is IN all things), thus nullifying the necessity of the Cross.

The definition of “contemplative spirituality” is: “A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology.”- Lighthouse Trails

The definition of “spiritual formation” is: “A movement that has provided a platform ad a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case, you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.”- Lighthouse Trails

Finding its roots in Buddhism, Hinduism, and previous Gnostic religions, and garnering new enthusiasm throughout the Catholic Church, it has begun spreading through evangelical churches at an alarming rate. These “New Age” or emerging church pastors feel that Christianity as we know it just isn’t cutting it, so they cut it. In Brian McLaren’s book, ‘A New Kind of Christian’, as in so many other similar books, our sinful nature is deemphasized, any idea of Hell is cast away, therefore, negating the reason for which our Savior came.

To quote a postmodern pastor, who sums up this new theology quite well, “I do believe that 20 years from now, a large portion of the modern (evangelical) movement is going to wake up and go, “Where did everybody go?” This is the contemplative mantra- change or die. The old way of “doing Christianity” is not working. Corporate, Christian teachings of old- the Bible as the infallible, inerrant word of God- unchanging and undaunted by time, that there is, within man, a sin nature, and without the sacrifice of Christ, we would be eternally separated from God, and the locale for our rejection of and failure to believe in the sacrifice made at Calvary by a sin-less man, God in the flesh, the one and only Jesus the Christ, is that fiery get-away known as Hell. There is no escaping it if you are not declared righteous through the blood of Christ, “not by works lest no man should boast.”

Practitioners argue that “prayer as usual” is not good enough, nor will it allow you to experience the full power of this “god”, and encourage the seeker to simply “fill in the blank” when praying to their preferred spirit, kind of like an A.A meeting. This practice is known as “contemplative prayer” or “centering prayer.” One need only find a quiet spot where they can be alone and can begin this process. You begin by taking in deep, repetitive breaths, and begin reciting, or chanting a word or phrase that will help you in your “centering” attempts. We all can conjure up images of monks in traditional attire, high upon their mountains, eyes rolled back in their head, hands upright, meeting together just in front of their face as they repeat over and over, “Ohmmm, ohmmmmm.” This is the central teaching of this prayer practice. The Lord exhorts us in the book of Matthew, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathens do.” Those who practice Lectio Devina read portions of their holy scripture, out loud, in a 4-part, repetitious manner- reading, reflecting, expressing, and resting, so as to fully experience their god. Realize that while it may sound innocent enough, it completely refutes the deity of God- the Lord of the Bible.

Often you will find “emergent” churches that emphasize missional and relational ministries, that use scripture more as a lovely poem and wonderful guideline for how to live out relative moral doctrine- be kind to others, the Golden Rule, help the poor, the orphans, and the widows, very important, yet surface area of scripture, while avoiding harsher, more polarizing themes of sexual immorality, homosexuality, abortion, and politics, and using stories and parables from scripture as illustration of an abstract point, and refusing to teach gospel truths- prophecy, sin, judgment, consequences, our need for a savior, the Trinity, and the eventual, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to judge the world and establish his Kingdom.

I have personally been amazed and shocked at the number of people associated with the contemplative movement. I have quickly learned that, many who I thought would never be involved, are really in deep. This is not just a fringe of religious fanatics incorporating these practices into their teaching, rather it is quite mainstream and is transforming the face of Christianity.

Representatives speaking out against this last-days apostasy addressed the New Age movement by saying that if we are really holding true to Truth, biblical guidelines and rules, God-driven morality, and staying faithful to Jesus, we, as the church, would not need to reinvent ourselves to “attract” people, rather the Holy Spirit would be able to do His best work in bringing in the people. Tell this to Rick Warren, author of ‘The Purpose-Driven Life’, who actually prayed in the name of “Isa”, the Muslim false “Jesus” at the inauguration, or to William P. Young, author of “The Shack”, which teaches, again that God is in, around, and through all things. Oprah is a leading proponent of this movement with her suggestions and courses through apostate books such as “The Secret”, “A New Earth”, and “A Course in Miracles,” which teaches that the crucified Jesus is nonsense because we have no sin from which to be redeemed. Another leading “false prophet” is Rob Bell, author of ‘Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith’ and creator of a largely popular series of films called “NOOMA”. As quoted in ‘The Eastern Mystique’, Rob Bell reveals, “We’re rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life.” This is the essence of this “doctrine of devils.” He sits at the feet of, gleans from, and oft quotes Ken Wilbur, who runs an extremely sexualized, New Age mysticism, voodoo website and ministry. Even more scary and troublesome are the amount of pastors and church leaders who are promoting this unknowingly, through book recommendations or through bible studies. Even the renowned The Navigators ministry has been infected.  Women’s devotional leader, Beth Moore, and popular author Max Lucado, came out in support of the Be Still DVD, which advocates for contemplative prayer and spirituality.

I’m sending out a S.O.S to all Christians! Scripture addresses this very topic in the book of Zephaniah when the Lord tells us He will “cut off from this place (the world)…those who bow down and worship the Lord and who also swear by Molech (represented by pagan religions).” This form of worship is known as “syncretism,” which is defined “as reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief, as in philosophy or religion.” And practitioners are promised in the Word of God that they will be swept away from the earth in God’s judgment! We are also warned that in the last days people will give heed to “seducing spirits” and “doctrines of devils”, again, “deceiving the elect.”  Beware of this yeast, which affects the whole bunch. “Be clever as snakes and as innocent as doves” while walking through these last days, wise and discerning, always testing the spirits to see if they are from the one and only God.

“Obama tries to “boost” relations with Russia”, the headlines are screaming!

This after Obama sends a letter to Russia offering the relinquishing of our missile defense program in exchange for their increased pressure on a nuclear Iran.

There is nothing wrong with “peacemaking” efforts in and of themselves, afterall, who wouldn’t embrace peace? Obama emphasised the strain on the relationship between Russia and the United States caused by “the last administration.” Just like everything else, right? It’s all Bush’s fault. The Biblical flood, the Bubonic plague, all caused by this Christian from Texas.

The left is unapologetically un-patriotic. The one theme the left never seems to comprehend in there never-ending quest to appeasement- apologizing for the big, bad bully America has always been to rogue nations who’s human rights violations are too numerous to count, is the concept that we are not in the same kind of fight that WW II was. That was a power-hungry mob of evil dictators, easily overcome by pressure from the international communities. But we are now in a war of ideologies.

The idea that this “strained” relationship is Bush’s fault is laughable. I wonder if it could have at all been because they decided to unfairly invade Georgia and proceeded to ignore all pressure to retreat- breaking numerous international laws and exerting tyrannical force over a neighboring country.

Another relevent cause to the strain is the fact that Russia has ignored all nuclear arms laws in regards to Iran and has persisted in selling them enrichment materials, despite Iran’s promise to “wipe Israel off the map.” They are laughing in the face of the UN when questioned and encouraged to stop.

The strain is through no fault of their own. The left has changed faces, but it has not changed it’s methods. During the Reagan years, Reagan put extreme pressure on Gorbachev, citing the famous, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Shortly after, Gorbachev did, in fact, “tear down <that> wall”, because he saw that the US was not going to back down and would be willing to use whatever force necessary to see that that violence against neighboring countries and oppression would end.

To prove how twisted the liberal religion is, Gorbachev received Time Magazine’s “Man of the Century”  for his “kindess” to the people for bringing down the Berlin wall and President Reagan, a conservative, has been the object of their scourn and critcism ever since.

The point is, we cannot maintain our presence in the world by making apologies for being a superpower. Some on the left would argue that we have exerted unnecessary force to hold on to our “power,” but they would be falsly representing this great nation that has brought aid, freedom, and diplomacy to the world around us.

I agree with the concept of communicating with The Big Bear, but it is necessary that we are postured with power and dignity in the face of a regime just looking for weakness. We must demand that they comply to stop supporting Iran and the terrorist cells it father’s or we will react. We are America- don’t mess with us!

“A mind anchored in God’s word won’t compromise, but when that anchor is removed, the current of “change” can carry that mind anywhere.” (Quotations mine)

I am unapologetically Christian. And not one of these ever-forming “New Age” Christians, emerging in an attempt to forever change the face of Christianity. I will provide more emphasis on this subject in a later post.

But it is important to note that I do filter my viewpoints on political policies through Scripture. 2 Timothy tells us “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” My thoughts, beliefs, and political philsophies are not my own, rather they represent the heart of the God that made me. And the truth to which I refer, is to the same truth to which Jesus was referring when he said, “For this reason I was born and for this reason I came into the world, to testify to the truth.”

It is not enough to hold to any form of opinion if that opinion is not based in truth. Then it is whimsical at best, deceptive at worst. In order to gain the trust of those to whom I am blessed to speak to in this, my virtual “pulpit”, you have my commitment to bring truth, by the grace of God, in a world spinning with deception.

 The aforementioned quote represents a true, but harsh reality. That a mind who is open to wherever the current trend takes him is in serious danger of being carried away when the under-current becomes too strong. And despite the hearts that have, by this time, woken up, and realized what we are seeing happen in this nation, those souls who cast the vote in Obama’s direction are joining the rest of us in an unsettling knowledge that the damage he is inflicting is irreperable, again, but for prayers and petitions made by God’s elect and His supreme decision to show mercy on this nation.

In the book of Jonah, we are told of a prophet of God who was asked by Him to go to the city of Ninevah and proclaim a coming judment within 40 days if they did not repent of their evil ways and their idolatry. At first Jonah relented, but eventually stood on a box in the middle of the city and gave the message of God, a warning, of the impending doom. They repented and God held off His judgment and in it’s place, provided mercy.

Mercy is the character trait of God we are most comfortable with. The concept of judgment is one most wrestle with and eventually ignore alltogether. But, we must realize, that God’s justice cannot sleep forever. We have been watching the moral fiber of this country unravel at the speed of light for quite some time, but we just jumped on the fast track.

We have, America, elected the most ungodly president this nation has ever had, elected on the platform of change. The change that will carry us away. Obama’s newly appointed HHS (Health and Human Services) secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, is “pals” with America’s leading abortion doctor, George Tiller, who specializes in late-term, meaning babies that could survive outside the womb, abortions. I wonder what her version of “health and human services” would be. Do you suppose there was a more sinister reason behind his appointment?

Obama recently did away with a “moral-clause” bill, initially enacted by President Bush, that allowed doctors and health-care providers to opt-out of performing abortions if it violated their religious or moral beliefs.

And we know that FOCA is sitting on the Congress floor as we speak. It has yet to be formally announced, but was referred to by Barack Obama on the campaign trail, as “one of the first pieces of legislation” he would sign into existence. FOCA, or Freedom of Choice, would eliminate all legal barriers to abortion, allowing abortion at any point in the pregnancy, for any reason, it would eliminate the need for adult-consent for minor-abortions, it would expand tax-payer funded abortions, nationally and globally, which is essentially occurring with the over $300 million tax-payer dollars that go to Planned Parenthood as it is, and the newly over-run Mexico City policy that ensures our money goes to funding abortion overseas. Scripture tells us, “Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come.” What about financed by?

It is obvious that Obama is set on an all-out assault on the pre-born, afterall, “he doesn’t want <anyone> punished by a baby.” Those who think this “climate change” or “global warming”, or whatever they’re calling it now to fit their schemes, thing, is unrelated, needs to wake up and take a closer look. While one may think, “So what? What’s the big deal? We can recycle and drive better cars.” You are being deceived. And this isn’t even to address his new policy of carbon credits and caps- which is foolhearty and further perpetuates this expanded governmental control and his tyrannical regime, but it addresses a much more serious consequence… If people truly are the cause of global warming, then what is the long-term answer? Population control, which now explains our new contributions to the UN Population Control fund, which funds forced abortions and forced sterilizations in other countries, but ensures that it will one day come to our own borders. Right here in the good ol’ US of A.

Can you imagine this? This isn’t China- where evil leaders and oppressive regimes have made child-bearing a violation of law, but this WILL come to America. Whatever is necessary to control a harsh and changing climate. Something tells me God would have thought about that before he gave us a mandate to “be fruitful and multiply!”

And these are just the issues of abortion. On the topic of nationalized healthcare, we’re talking about giving the government control of the ultimate decision of who lives and who dies. Senior citizens will be compromised on the premise that they are no longer contributing to society and they are expendable through euthanasia and assisted suicide. And it won’t be restricted just to that group, but to others deemed weak or unnecessary to society. Those with physical disabilties, mental impairments, children with incurable forms of cancer, or even babies with cleft palates. Cleft palates? Why, that’s unfathomable and would never happen! It is happening- in Denmark! Why poor the money into them if they are not worth the cost- especially if they are dying? We can prove this depreciation of life- Washington just signed into law assisted suicides!

This is not the brutally violent civilizations of past empires, represented in movies like “300″ where the leaders of the day simply tossed perceived weak children off a cliff. Again, I repeat, this is coming to the shores of a town near you!

More recent history will tell of a young leader, elected on a platform of change, who did indeed bring promised change. It will go down in history as the most God-awful act of human, not even human, depravity ever perpetrated against man. It began as a small, cancerous growth and eventually grew to such a point that it was unstoppable and incurable, leaving in it’s wake 50 million dead. Jews will refer to it as the Shoah, but most know it as the Holocaust. How could I ever perceive that such an atrocity would visit our land? How could I question a president of the United States in such a way, or show concern that he is even capable of perpetrating such a nightmare? I ask ,why not? Shouldn’t we ever be discerning? Watching? And continuing to ask questions of a regime who has already sworn a Holocaust of the unborn?

Change is here, ladies and gentleman, I just think you may get more than you bargained for. As in the book of Jonah, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
