Islamic guilt trip rolls on

Religious bias filings in the workplace are on the rise, according to the Wall Street Journal. Here's the link for their 10/16 story.. One must put this in proper perspective: such filings by Muslim groups constitute “classic cultural jihad”. Muslim groups will put continual pressure on employers and local officials to accommodate their culture and traditions with the intention of slowly but surely replacing ours entirely. This is the publicly announced long term Muslim goal.

The normal reaction of most decent Americans is to be non-confrontational, to try to compromise, to dialog, and to “reach out and understand”. The Muslims interpret this as weakness and push even harder. The key: Muslims feel morally superior to us, and have nothing but contempt for us. They have no problem cynically using our traditions of religious liberty and common decency to posture as “persecuted victims” and to strive to destroy the very liberties of which they are taking advantage.

If we wish to even have an America in 50 years, we will have to resist each and every encroachment. Look at Holland! They have tried to appease Muslim demands for 30 years. The result: Dutch culture is on the verge of disappearing into an Islamized Western Europe.

Bunyan replies to Peale

Editor: Answering Dose 1 below, Crater signed this one John Bunyan, identifying with the author of "Pilgrim's Progress." Dave Crater writes:

Interesting you should take Dr. Peale as your namesake - there is the "power of positive thinking" irony in your note of course, but more substantively there is the hollowing out of Christian faith in the 20th century in which Dr. Peale was at the center.

It is that hollowing out which has been bearing bitter fruits like our current ones for about a century now - where faith in God becomes merely "positive thinking," belief in free markets and property rights becomes merely welfare state "capitalism;" where a government that tries to play God then plays the savior from the economic disasters it causes; where economic and financial understanding becomes merely "monetarism" or "Keynesianism" or, as Larry Kudlow wrote this morning, "we need government to act in order to fix the free market"; where genuine compassion and private generosity become merely taxation and wealth redistribution; where personal responsibility and moral hazard get pushed off to a later date when we've solved the latest crisis caused by the dearth of those very values; when political statesmanship becomes merely Barney Frank; and where republicanism and Republicanism become merely John McCain.

We'll never get the politics right until we get right who God is - hint: He's not in Washington - but from a political standpoint, "neoconservatism," a modern incarnation of the classical principles of conservative thought, has been more observed by the Bush administration in passing and in the breach than in the observance. It is the answer, not the problem.

Responses to your notes:

1. Agreed. The race is over.

2. Ditto. Perhaps now we can stop the empty cheerleading among the GOP political classes? McCain is pathetic - there is no other word for it.

3. GWB as right as ever on Iraq and history will remember him so. GWB as wrong as Hoover on financial crisis, what causes it, what fixes it, and what economic leadership is, and history will remember his $700 billion bailout as simply another weak capitulation to 20th-century statism.

4. GWB indeed a shell - the kind of shell that has taken a steady beating for doing what is right (Iraq), then instead of permanently choosing the right side of the street and building on this foreign policy conservatism a coherent and courageous set of socially and economically conservative initiatives, a la Reagan building himself and the nation a genuine legacy in exchange for the unavoidable public relations beating in the media, he routinely sells out to welfare state expansion and economic statism, trying like McCain to drive in the middle of the street and getting himself hit by traffic going in both directions. He, the nation, and the GOP have suffered inordinately as a result.

5. Agreed, though few will understand where they actually went wrong. See aforementioned dearth of economic understanding rooted in dearth of spiritual understanding.

6. Those who maintain traditional Christian faith sleep peacefully amidst the confusion, for the Almighty is still in His temple. Psalm 2 comes to mind: "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?"

7. We should align with traditional (i.e., true) faith and classical (i.e., true) political conservatism. That means no more John McCains, Bob Doles, or Gerald Fords - how much mediocrity do we have to endure before we recognize what it looks like?

8. "A bit more deflation"? Deflation ended 5 years ago. Commodities are at twice their historic levels - we are well into a period of inflation.

Say it: He's a socialist

There is a fundamental difference between Marxism, provider of the Socialist philosophy, and Christian teachings. The difference makes the two world views incompatible, in other words, you cannot be both. Whoever says that they are compatible either lies or is ignorant. Marxists believe that a non-Socialist society is to blame for what is wrong with people and therefore, change has to begin with those who are responsible for society, mainly the rich. Others, not they, have to change and the others are in the end all those who oppose Socialism. People are either forced to comply or they are killed, as happened in Nazi Germany. If you put right what is wrong in society, so goes Marxist theory, you will heal injustice and people, products of a hostile society, will become their good selves. Healing is created by installing more and more Socialists in office, Socialist immorality and Socialist programs. Obama has not touched corruption and moral issues. His plans for dealing with issues are of economic nature and are pure Marxism, blaming the non-Socialist enemies and distribution of money to bribe poor voters, make them dependent on government and cement with it your power. Marxism's concepts lead to the welfare state – and on to a totalitarian system built on lies where government is central. There is no real concern for people; power is at the heart of all their projects.

Christianity teaches that what is wrong is the fallen nature of man, who gives in to the evil inside. Moral change in people and restoring the broken relationship with God will change what is wrong in society. Christian teachings are at the heart of our Constitution. Responsibility for oneself is a pre-condition for a healthy society. That is why America is special and prosperous. Government's task is to clear the way for initiatives of their citizens and not block it. John McCain's and Sarah Palin's priority to clean up the government and bring it back to the people is exactly what America needs. They know as we do that Republicans especially those at the center in Washington are also responsible for ousting our Constitution from American society with devastating consequences. John McCain and Sarah Palin are getting at this corruption, beginning with their own ranks. Their priorities are job creation, drilling, and fighting inflation. They are pro-life and so is the Republican Party.

Senator Obama answered the question of the Reverend Warren regarding when life begins during a national television interview with "This is above my pay grade". I think he lied. The Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated, "I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over centuries the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition…. We don't know. The point is that it shouldn't have an impact on a woman's right to choose." I think she lied. She is neither an ardent nor a normal Catholic; she is a godless Socialist pagan. Colorado Archbishop Charles Chaput commented "Democrats don't know Christianity." No woman has a right to have her child killed.

I heard Senator Biden say that he is pro-life but cannot force his religious views on others. So he is part of the abortion gang like a myriad of Democratic colleagues who also like to be on both sides.

The Democratic Party with the leadership of Obama, the Clintons, Reid and Pelosi and comrades is an illegitimate party which is destroying the Constitution which leads to spiritual, political and economic disaster. It is illegitimate because of policy principles like abortion and also Darwinism being taught in schools. Instead of protecting life this party promotes killing life. The Republican Party on the other hand is legitimate in principle with a majority which wants to do what is right but lacking a national and personal purpose and therefore are so often appeasing what is wrong. Nobody wants to risk his position. It is the Appeaser's Party. There are too many who are looking after themselves first and their country second..

One central theme is enough to clarify why I say that the Socialist Democratic Party is illegitimate. Their policies are Marxist and not American and they promote immorality. It was the Soviet Union, for instance, which was the first state making abortion legal already at the beginning of the twenties. Having grown up in the godless totalitarian Nazi society it is appalling for me to watch that in America politicians can speak of their "Christian faith" and at the same time make abortion, same-sex marriage, homosexuality their party policy. The consequence is the destruction of families and the concept of family without that those who practice or promote these concepts are thrown out of their churches or out of power by their voters. Unfortunately corruption has also entered Christian churches. Democrats are not fit for American Constitutional government.

No government or parliament across the globe has the authority to overrule God. The godless national Socialists, called Nazis, did it and my family, Jewish people, all Germans, and Europeans paid dearly for it because I and millions of others did not see our own evil inside. American soldiers shed their blood to liberate us from Nazi power. It pains me to see America on the same track. Not only those who actively promote the godless programs allowed by our government establishment but also those who for personal reasons or lack of backbone appease them will pay for it, here and when they face their creator. I know the consequence of a godless government. America must have a God fearing government. The abortionists are closer to the Nazis than to our founding fathers. Both base their philosophy and action on lies.

According to an article of Gary Parker, president of the Alabama Policy Institute, in our newspaper Press-Register Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, the national abortion provider, said, "I am still having trouble expressing the depth of my anger about McCain's choice of a running mate." She and Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL, Pro-Choice America, were featured speakers at the Democratic National convention in Denver. They endorsed Obama who supports federal funding for abortions. As Illinois state senator he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Bill, which would have prohibited the killing of late term babies that survive attempted abortions. You wonder on what information Obama voted. Does he play superficially with human life? The following information is easy to come by. Pelosis' statement at the beginning of this article clearly means that it doesn't matter whether the baby inside the womb of the mother is alive or not we will kill it anyway.

There are various ways to perform an abortion but abortion is said to be more dangerous than child birth. In a late-term partial birth abortion, which is also used for advanced pregnancies, the cervix is dilated to allow passage of a ring forceps. A foot or lower leg is located and pulled into the vagina. The baby is extracted in breech fashion until the head is just inside the cervix. The baby's legs hang outside the woman's body. With the baby face-down, scissors are plunged into the baby's head at the nape of the neck and spread open to enlarge the wound. A suction tip is inserted and the baby's brain is removed. The skull collapses and the baby is delivered. Sharp and suction curettage is continued until the walls of the womb are clean.

Suction Aspiration is the most common method of abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. General or local anesthesia is given to the mother and her cervix is quickly dilated. A suction curette (hollow tube with a knife-edged tip) is inserted into the womb. This instrument is then connected to a vacuum machine by a transparent tube. The vacuum suction, 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner, tears the fetus and placenta into small pieces which are sucked through the tube into a bottle and discarded.

Another procedure is called Dilatation and Evacuation and is performed during the second trimester, 4-6 months of pregnancy. A pliers-like instrument is needed because the baby's bones are calcified, as is the skull. There is no anesthetic for the baby. The abortionist inserts the instrument into the uterus, seizes a leg or other part of the body and, with a twisting motion, and tears it from the baby's body. This is repeated again and again. The spine must be snapped, and the skull crushed to remove them.

Let me educate Obama, Pelosi and their abortion gang who are exposing an unbelievable superficiality and disdain for human life in dealing with this subject of central importance for our nation. After all, according to the statistics around 50 million killings of living human beings took place since the Supreme Court with one vote majority made unconstitutional abortion legal. The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews and 10 million others – Germans, Slavs, gypsies, handicapped, Christians, their opposition and others.

Life begins at conception. Modern technology allows observing what happens in the uterus of a woman and how fast in only 5 weeks a fetus grows from the size of a sesame seed to a baby developing brain, backbone, heart and everything else what makes a person. Science explains that it is possible that from one cell sex, the color of the eyes and hairs and a myriad of other features can be determined. 18 days after conception there is a heart beat, after 40 days the fetus has brain waves. Nothing changes in the 9 months of pregnancy, everything just grows. My wife Dina and I can watch on photos how our grandchild to come grows from the size of sesame seed to a baby. We also saw in Fox News a video of another baby in the womb of her mother, a bit elder than our grand child. It is fascinating! Abortionists must be stopped killing human beings

We are living in the middle of humanity's insurrection against God. The insurrection consists of the organized abandonment of God's commandments in the once Christian Western world, and the establishment of a global social and political infrastructure, which is contrary to His order but capable of integrating Christian voters with a toothless Christian understanding. The United States are now spearheading this movement. At the same time this nation still has a strong moral substance with people committed to reverse the trend into disaster. America will never win the ideological war unless it can defeat the lies which dominate our society. Change must come, but there must be moral change, each person beginning with oneself. Stop lying, make restitution, and stand up for truth. America should be spearheading lasting freedom across the world. Only freedom based on our Constitution and the absolute truth of God can last.

Diagnosing Obama's religious confusion

Barack Hussein Obama needs to straighten himself out. Growing up between Islamic teachings and socialist theories apparently has confused his concepts. We are not a Muslim nation, a Jewish nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, or a nation of nonbelievers as he stated in a speech in June 2006 to the liberal Christian group, Call to Renewal. I would classify him as a nonbeliever who pretends to be a Christian, similar to the National Socialist “German Christians” who used the Christian language to promote their Nazi ideology. The theology of liberation uses the same principle namely deceiving those who are weak in practicing a Christian way of life and therefore blind towards reality by hiding the true nature of its program. Our nation is unique in human history. Based on the Christian faith of her people and leaders, and on the truth of the Holy Bible, Americans made it possible for people of all faiths to come here and practice it in freedom, something they could not do at home. Nobody forced them, neither then or today, to become Christians. It was the welcoming of strangers by warm-hearted Americans that made this nation great; not a government program. The presence of some Muslims or Buddhists and people with other religions in the United States does not change our history or tradition, nor does it transforms us into a Muslim, Buddhist, or any other mixture of nations. It is a ridiculous statement from the senator from Illinois. Not being a Christian, Obama talks nonsense -- "a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution," as said correctly by Dr. James Dobson.

I must also correct him when he speaks of the “Christian Right,” a concept which logically assumes the existence of a “Christian Left”. There is no right or left in the Christian teachings. There is sin and the cleansing of sin. The Sermon on the Mount is directed at every last person in the world, including Obama. He doesn’t live up to the message. You either are a Christian or you are not; it depends on what you believe in and how you live accordingly. Obama’s “faith” has little to do with the teachings of Jesus and St. Paul. Going to church doesn’t make a person a Christian, especially if the pastor is a Communist and vibrates with hatred just like Obama’s pastor of twenty years does, Jeremiah Wright, who has also a record of being a Muslim.

Christians have not “hijacked faith to drive us apart” as Obama states. It is his immorality and the immorality of his Socialist fellow travelers’ political programs that, if applied, will destroy the rest of the moral infrastructure of this nation which is the principal factor in dividing the American people. Did he overlook the fact that Jesus was crucified because the government and religious establishment of the Jewish Nation did not like his moral teachings, and because the Roman governor was an appeaser whose own comfort came first? Jesus did not try to unite different views; He challenged the morality of the godless and their naïve followers.

Presidential candidate Obama wants to unite. Unity with people, institutions and nations which promote murder of other human beings is not possible. You can’t unite with what is wrong. The unity Obama’s speaks about is Marxist double-talk – unity for them means the prevailing of their own views. Obama uses the tactics typical for the theology of liberation. This “theology” decades ago has developed into a subversive Communist political action program. I have described the process in my recent article “Obama and the Theology of Liberation” (www.voncampe.com) It means in short in this case using the Christian language to fool the church goers and push them into his direction – a Socialist environment ending with a totalitarian United Nations world government financed by the United States and some dumb other Western governments.

He divides the Christians in two groups, the faithful whom he classifies as “radical right wing” and the superficial “peace, comfort, and security seeking” rest which he tries to get into his unity program which includes voting for him.

You can’t be a Christian when your personal and political moral platform includes mass murder. Obama thinks it is the right of a woman to have a defenseless human being inside her body cruelly killed for her own convenience. The Nazis had similar convictions and killed six million Jews and some ten millions of Germans and people of other nations. Islamic jihadists kill innocent men, women and children and delude themselves that it will get them into paradise sex. Obama voted against a bill to protect babies that survive abortion attempts and also believes that the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. Whoever votes him and his many brothers in arms into power makes him- or herself an accomplice in murder. Such a person is offending God and hostile to our Constitution. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th circuit defined a person protected by the Constitution in a 7:4 ruling as an "individual living member of the Homo sapiens, including the unborn human being during the entire embryonic and fetal ages from fertilization to full gestation." It is not for nothing that Marxists, socialists and communists have formed a block to "support their favored presidential candidate," Obama, and calling for a revolution against "the U.S oppressive regime." WND broke the news about these stories. Wake up America!

The United States of America was overwhelmingly founded by European Christians. They founded a nation in which God was placed into the center of society. The constitutions and charters of the original 13 states began (and still do) with a reference of God. This reliance on Him was ultimately expressed by all subsequent states joining the Union including the one I currently live in. The Preamble of the state Constitution of Alabama states: “We the people of the state of Alabama invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, to ordain and establish the following Constitution.” There was no Allah (not identical with God) or Shiva, no Buddha, no unbeliever. Our Constitution is based on Christian truth as was the Declaration of Independence with the opening statement “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among them are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This is the firm foundation on which this nation was built.on. Presidential candidate Obama wipes this truth off the table. It represents a denial of God. Furthermore it is not only an insult to our founding fathers but neglects the spirit and the letter of our Constitution, which he is supposed to uphold.

There is no other country in the world, with the exception perhaps of prosperous Switzerland, where the people were free to select their own way of life and to install a legal and social infrastructure which had room for people from every corner of the earth. Obama does not even respect the Christian teachings which made this nation. With it we became the richest nation on earth and look where we are heading for now – to be slaves of our creditors and energy providers who mostly are our enemies. Our soldiers fight and die for the people of two Islamic countries. In spite of it, Christians and Jews are being persecuted in many Islamic states which are guided by their religious and political intolerance.

In addition, America has a mission to make freedom available to all nations. No other nation has such a mission. But freedom without truth cannot last. Absolute truth must be at the heart of a free nation if freedom should prevail. And here today America falls short of the required. We have become a nation where indifference, greed, sex, comfort-seeking, lying and attacks on our Constitution become normal and where power-seeking liars who are out for themselves lead us in the wrong direction. This we cannot wipe off the table either, it has to be addressed and changed. Real change is the result of people changing and becoming different and not because of more money from the vote-seeking government establishment I haven’t heard Obama or McCain speaking about it.

Barack Hussein Obama’s real problems are not of a racial nature. They are only meant to cover up the ideological position. He would lead America into the wrong direction. He is not bringing any real change to our society but more immorality and prescribing un-American Marxist remedies by taking money from some people and giving it to others. This kind of help really is no help because it makes the people who receive it dependent on those who give it to them. It is more of a bribe. The unity Marxists want means “Do as I say.”

The global ideological war is about the role of God in human society. The battle field is morality, the battle line is the choice between truth and lies. There is no neutrality, it is either or. This choice is accessible to everybody everywhere, and for every nation. Liars are the enemies of freedom and of their nation. The call for Americans, citizens and legal residents, is to stop lying, stand up, fight for God’s absolute truth and create a sane nation under God. It must be the second American Revolution.

Who does Bob Tiernan like for President?

What's a poor atheist to do, with both Obama and McCain flaunting their church attendance yesterday, and an ordained minister, Leah Daughtry, chairing this year's DNC, a brazen invasion of the faith territory long owned by the GOP and James Dobson? Robert Tiernan's Colorado chapter of the Freedom from Religion Foundation is aglow with pride about its "Imagine No Religion" billboard downtown, but his God-deniers movement seems adrift with no clear political home in 2008. The John Lennon-inspired advertising sign is halfway through its two-month run on 14th Avenue west of the Civic Center. I missed the breaking news about it in early June; we were in Europe, touring empty churches and learning about the birth dearth among world-weary couples in that increasing religionless (except for Islam) continent.

[photopress:religion_billboard_061908.JPG,thumb,pp_image]

As illustrated in my snapshot above, the billboard sits right next to Denver's new, half-constructed Justice Center, and blocks away from the main congregating area for local homeless people. You wonder how Tiernan and company would make the case that crime would be less and generosity to the unfortunate would be greater, in their imagined world where nothing is either morally forbidden or commanded by a higher power.

You wonder how the FfRF crowd, as they call themselves, intend to vote this November. I'm betting they feel considerably more welcome in the Democratic Party, Daughtry's symbolism and Obama's faith-based mimicry of Bush notwithstanding.

You try to "imagine" the billboard staying up an extra month so that a poll of DNC delegates could be taken in late August. Would most of them be less disgusted by Bob Tiernan's atheist fantasy than I and my fellow Republicans are? I'm betting, again, the answer is yes.
