Washington Report- September 6th, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray

Tell Congress: No Aid to Terrorists - Hundreds of copies of a petition to congressmen demanding that aid to Saudi supported terrorists in Syria be stopped have been delivered by fax. With Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama about to order military strikes against the secular government of Syria, now is the time to tell you congressman to stop this insanity. Your signed petition will be faxed to your congressman free of charge. See Petition here!

In this issue: Obama "White Paper" questioned / Murray exposes flawed Obama position / Obama praise for jihadist group / Voters overwhelmingly against Syria strikes / Sen. Rand Paul on Syria / September 11 and the Gates of Vienna / New attack on "under God" in the Pledge / Morocco: Jailed for having Christian literature / Iran: new anti-Christian crusade / Syria: Al-Qaeda awaits help from USA / Iraq: 14 car bombs in just one day

The Presidency
Obama "White Paper" questioned - Award winning journalist Kenneth Timmerman has posted another article at the Daily Caller exposing the Obama Administration's misleading information on the alleged chemical attack in Syria. Timmerman says that the three-page white paper which was released "doesn't even begin to reach the standard of evidence the public deserves and Congress should demand." Read more
Murray exposes flawed Obama position - William J. Murray, chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition, has been on numerous venues refuting some of the most oblivious false claims of the Obama Administration with regard to the alleged Syrian chemical weapons attack. The alleged attack on a "rebel" position happened on the very day that UN inspectors arrived in Syria. Hear Murray on the Mike Huckabee Show. Read more
Obama praise for jihadist group - Barack Obama recently recorded a video greeting to members of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group that was exposed as a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist-financing case. ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood front group. Obama praised ISNA on its 50th anniversary celebration for upholding "the proud legacy of American-Muslims contributions to our national fabric." Read more
Congress
Voters overwhelmingly against Syria strikes - As an NBC news crew followed one congressman while he held more than a dozen town-hall meetings, the cameras clearly showed 90% or more of voters who attended were against Obama's planned military strikes to help Islamist "rebels" take over Syria - Read more
Senator Rand Paul on Syria - Senator Paul had a few questions about those whom the United States would be helping with strikes on the Syrian government: "Are the Islamic rebels our allies? Will they defend American interests? Will they acknowledge Israel's right to exist? Will they impose Shari'a? Will they tolerate Christians, or will they pillage and destroy ancient Christian churches and people?" Read more
Congress in recess - The House will return on September 9th as per the schedule posted at the beginning of the year by Leader Cantor. NOTE: Hearings on Syria are being held - however - the full House and Senate is not in session and no votes can be taken until after the 9th.
Religion and Culture
9-11 and the Gates of Vienna - Besides the anniversary of the 2001 World Trade Center attack and the murders of four Americans in Benghazi last year, September 11 also marks the 330th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Vienna in 1683, which stopped the Islamic advance in Europe - temporarily. But where Ottoman armies failed, Muslim immigration, homegrown terrorism, demographic jihad and multiculturalism are succeeding. Read more
New Attack on "Under God" - We are once again back fighting for "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, a battle that I thought had ended in victory in the 9th Circuit court of Appeals. In 2007 I wrote The Pledge: One Nation Under God to explain fully the history and need for having "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag. Now a new case using the same argument that was used to legalize same-sex marriage has been filed by an "anonymous" atheist who claims his child in a public school does not want to say "under God." Read more
International
Morocco: Jailed for having Christian literature - In "moderate" Morocco, a young man has been sent to jail for 30 months for attending Christian meetings and having Christian materials. This is just one of the hundreds of stories of persecuted Christians that go unreported each week around the world. Persecuted Christians are of no interest to the Western media. Read more
Iran: New anti-Christian crusade - Iran's Islamic leadership has launched a public campaign to halt the rapid spread of Christianity among Iranians. Iranian intelligence services are organizing meetings aimed at debating the "conversion from Islam" and to analyze why especially Iranian youth convert to Christianity, well-informed Iranian Christians said. Read more
Syria: Al-Qaeda awaits help from USA - Al-Qaeda terrorists eagerly await U.S. assistance against the Syrian government, so they can subjugate if not slaughter Syria's Christians, secularists, and non-Muslims. Read more
Iraq: 14 car bombs in just one day - Nearly 60 people were killed and dozens injured in a series of car bombings across Baghdad on Tuesday. The blasts, which took place in predominantly Shiite districts, included 14 car bombs. Read more

New Chairman's Report - Now available, the August 18th, 2013 edition of the Chairman's Report for the Religious Freedom Coalition. This edition includes: - Details on the car bombing campaign against the majority Christian city of Jaramana, and why so may Iraqi Christians live in Syria. Also the campaign by congressmen to protect Coptic Christians in Egypt. The Florida public schools that promote Mohammed as "God's messenger" and trash Christianity Read it here
My Life Without God - William J. Murray's first book, My Life Without God, is now back in print, as 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of his atheist mother's lawsuit to remove prayer from the schools. Murray writes of his life in the dysfunctional home of infamous atheist/Marxist leader Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Learn more

Washington Report- August 16th, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray

In this issue: Obama's gay hypocrisy / Obama praises Islam / Obama's dog gets own helicopter / Social conservative wins NJ primary / McCain and Graham anger secular Egyptians / Huckabee on the mayhem of Islam / Muslim Brotherhood fights for sharia in Egypt / Fatwa in Syria allows looting / No justice yet for Pakistani pastor / Christians attacked in Central African Republic

The Presidency
Obama's gay hypocrisy - Barack Hussein Obama and the U.S. State Department have been crusading on behalf of the "gay" rights movement around the world. Yet, both Obama and State have been careful to avoid calling on powerful oil rich Muslim nations to reform their laws in order to embrace open homosexuality in their cultures. The Obama gay refrain is: "Russia bad, Saudi Arabia good." Read more
Obama on Islam - "Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation - and we've seen the results." Sure Obama - the results of 9-11 and Ft. Hood. A former Boko Haram terrorist who became a Christian has a different view, Mr. President. Read more
Obama's dog gets own helicopter - While Obama constantly complains about the evil Republicans and has described the "sequester" as an event that will shut down Air Traffic Controllers and police forces across the nation, he just had his dog "Bo" flown by an MV-22 Osprey helicopter to Martha's Vineyard. It costs $11,000 an hour to fly an Osprey. The Osprey is a $68 million military aircraft! Read more
Congress
Social conservative RNC win in NJ - A pro-life Republican who believes that marriage is reserved for one man and one woman won the GOP Senate primary in NJ this week. Steve Lonegan, former Mayor of Bogota, New Jersey will run against Newark Mayor Cory Booker in the general election on October 16th. Booker is an Obama supporter who will work to expand the welfare state if elected. He is also a close friend of Gov. Chris Christie whose party identification is hard to tell at any given moment. Read more
McCain, Graham and the Muslim Brotherhood - Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently made it clear that they are BFF's (best friends forever) with the Muslim Brotherhood and enemies of political freedom in Egypt. In their recent trip to Egypt, McCain and Graham angered millions of Egyptians who had fought to oust Muslim Brotherhood tyrant Mohamed Morsi from power. Read more
Congress in recess - The House will return on September 9th as per the schedule posted at the beginning of the year by Leader Cantor. Because Senate Leader Harry Reid is nuts, there is no telling when the Senate will reconvene, or if they will do anything when they do reconvene.
Religion and Culture
Huckabee on the mayhem of Islam - Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee explored the violent side of Islam on Monday during his radio talk show. He then compared Islam to other religions such as Christianity and said that during Christian holy days such as Easter and Christmas Day, no one fears Christians going into Wal-Mart and trashing the store or going out and killing innocent children. Yet, that's what routinely occurs during Muslim "holy days" he said. Read more
Ad campaign against Saudi evil -The Religious Freedom Coalition's campaign to make Americans aware of the evil that emanates from Saudi Arabia is continuing, with ads recently placed in Alabama and Rhode Island. Lean more here.
International
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood stands and fights for a pure sharia government - The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has been engaging in violent - not peaceful -- protests for the past few weeks, and more than 600 are now dead. The death toll will rise, as Muslim Brotherhood operatives have promised to destroy the interim government. Read more
Syria: Fatwa allows robbery - A fatwa (Islamic religious decree) has been issued by 34 "Duma Scholars" giving "rebels" the right in Duma and Damascus to loot properties of Christians, Alawites and Druz and other minorities. No complaints from Barack Obama who supports the Islamist fighters. Read more
Pakistan: Freedom to murder Christians - Christians in Pakistan's Punjab province were still awaiting justice Tuesday, August 13, more than two weeks after a local Christian leader and landowner was shot and killed by at least one Islamic gunman in front of his young children. Read more
Central African Republic: Muslims kill at least 15 - Attacks by Islamists on Christian villages in the Central African Republic have left at least 15 dead and made around 1,000 people homeless. The raids were carried out by an Islamist militia group, Séléka, which seized control of the country following a coup in March 2013. At least 14 villages in Bouar Diocese were completely abandoned after residents fled, Italian Carmelite missionary, Fr. Aurelio Gazzera, told Aid to the Church in Need. Read more

Report From Washington - May 11, 2012

Exposing Obama's war on faith / Obama's Gay Agenda / Government rather than God / Protecting Chaplains / Capitol Hill prayer event / Hilton Hotel hosts pro-sharia conference / CAIR attorney trashes USA in Egypt / Kuwait: Death for blasphemy  
THE PRESIDENCY
EXPOSING OBAMA'S WAR ON FAITH - Religious Freedom Coalition newspaper ads telling of the Obama Administration's threats to religious freedom begin running on May 13th. The first newspaper to accept the ad was the Panama City News Herald. This newspaper is in the Panhandle of Florida, in an area that has a large military presence. Many of those living in the area fought for religious freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to see Christians persecuted by the predominantly Muslim governments there.

On May 16th the ads will appear in the Washington County News in Chipley, FL and the Holmes County Times Advertiser in Bonifay, FL. The ads' schedule will start to move south along the Florida Gulf Coast with areas around Tampa and Naples in the next few weeks. We will not advertise in the very liberal Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida newspapers. It is not our goal to anger liberals, but to encourage social conservatives to contact their congressmen and Senators to demand that Congress block President Barack Obama's continued attacks on religious liberty. Read more
OBAMA'S GAY AGENDA - Obama has moved back to the position he had on same-sex marriage in 1996. In a typed and signed statement, Obama said: "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." Then, when he ran for the Senate in 2004 he said marriage should be between a man and a woman. While running for president he said he was against same-sex marriage, but this week he declared he was for it. What changed his mind back to his 1996 position? Money. Several gay "super-pacs" informed Obama that unless he backed same-sex marriage they would spend no money on his reelection. A man of principle Obama is not.
GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN GOD - Just what Obama ordered: One in five Americans-the highest percentage in the nation's history-relies on the federal government for benefits, ranging from housing, health care, and food stamps to college tuition and retirement assistance. That's more than 67.3 million Americans who receive subsidies from Washington. The federal government spent more taxpayer dollars than ever before in 2011 to subsidize Americans. The average individual who relies on Washington could receive benefits valued at $32,748, which is more than the nation's average disposable personal income ($32,446). Read more

CONGRESS 

PROTECTING CHAPLAINS - Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) added an amendment to the FY2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which protects the rights of conscience of military chaplains. Akin, who is a member of the Prayer Caucus, announced that he will offer an amendment to the bill to provide specific conscience and religious freedom protections for military chaplains and other service members. Akin said, "Chaplains and service members should not face recrimination or persecution in the military for standing strong on their religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality. A military chaplain is charged with meeting the religious needs of all of those under his or her care, but that chaplain must also remain true to their own faith." Rep. Akin's amendment draws from the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 3828) introduced by Rep. Tim Huelskamp, which would provide similar protections for service members. The bill was passed out of committee with Congressman Akin's amendment being approved. Read more
CAPITOL HILL PRAYER EVENT - A prayer event was held in U.S. Capitol this week. On Tuesday in the U.S. Capitol, a ceremony took place commemorating the 223rd anniversary of President George Washington's first inauguration. The event focused on America's Judeo-Christian heritage, specifically highlighting our first President's reputation as a man of prayer. Rep. Louie Gohmert noted, "Preachers of every Christian denomination preached Christian doctrine in this chamber - right here where we sit." Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE
CAIR ATTORNEY TRASHES USA IN EGYPT - Palestinian-American Lawyer Lamis Deek accuses the major corporations and the US Department of Defense of financing films vilifying Arab and Muslim communities. Deek is associated with CAIR, the same CAIR that helps pick Muslim chaplains for our military. The CAIR lawyer accuses American corporations and the Defense Department of being "racist" against Muslims. More at MEMRI  
HILTON HOTEL PROMOTES PRO-SHARIA CONFERENCE - The Florida Family Association released an email alert and online article on May 1, 2012 which reported that the Islamic Society of North America is planning a conference at the Hilton Airport Tampa Westshore on May 11-12, 2012.

Report From Washington - March 23, 2012

Barack Obama and John McCain created an Egypt that calls for the destruction of Israel / In Oklahoma, Obama is pro-oil? / Congressional Prayer Caucus fights to save Mt. Soledad Cross / Several cities change official seals to say: In God We Trust / Christian neighborhoods in Syria bombed by "rebels" / USCRIF reports on nations that repress religious freedom / Sorry New York Times, the shooter was a Muslim, not a Nazi / Jew hating candidate for mayor of London has sweet words for Mohammed

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA'S EGYPT - The "democratic" Eqypt President Obama and his ally Senator John McCain fought for has a new "democratic" parliament. One of its first acts was to declare Israel an enemy, call for a complete boycott of that nation while supporting the terrorists operations of the Palestinian "resistance." This is just one section from the resolution passed by the new Egyptian parliament: "Post-revolutionary Egypt will never be a friend, partner or ally of the Zionist entity, which we see as the foremost enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation. Egypt will treat this entity as an enemy, and the Egyptian government should reconsider its entire relationship and agreements with this enemy and the threat it poses to the security and national interests of Egypt." Obama and McCain have created a situation that will lead to a new Middle East war on a grander scale than ever before.
OBAMA IS PRO-OIL? - While campaigning for re-election in Oklahoma, President Obama posed in front of lengths oil pipeline and declared that he was gong to rush through the portion of the Keystone oil pipeline in Oklahoma that he had already rejected as a national project. He then took credit for more oil production in Oklahoma. Republicans promptly pointed out that this is a local pipeline that Obama has no authority over and it was being built anyway, without his OK, and that the increased production in Oklahoma is on private lands because Obama has stopped permits on public lands. Meanwhile Obama is calling on Saudi Arabia to produce more oil so our nation can send the Islamic madmen who rule that nation more money to repress women and deny human rights.

CONGRESS 

CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER CAUCUS DEFENDS CROSS - Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus joined the American Center for Law and Justice in submitting an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court, defending the presence of a cross at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego, California. The brief urges the Supreme Court to take up the case and reverse a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that held the cross's presence at the memorial is unconstitutional. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

CITY SEAL - IN GOD WE TRUST - The cities of Chandler, Texas and Ontario, California have something in common. Both have added the words "In God We Trust" to their city seals. Other towns and cities are following suit as the ACLU has forced them to stop praying at meetings and courts have stripped their Bibles away from their kids at school. Since "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States the ACLU cannot stop any city, county or state from adding it to official seals which then appear on all documents.

INTERNATIONAL 

MORE BOMBINGS AGAINST SYRIAN CHRISTIANS - Whenever you read about bombings in residential neighborhoods in Aleppo, Hamah, or Latakia, Syria, the victims are probably Christians. This week Christian upscale neighborhoods in Aleppo were bombed by the "rebels" supported by President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. The major rebel city, Homs, is a stronghold for radical Islamists who want all Christians and Jews cleansed from the Middle East. It is no surprise that the EU and the USA support the 'rebels" who will bring the same kind of democracy to Syria as was brought to Libya: Sharia law.

USCIRF RELIGOUS FREEDOM REPORT FOR 2012 - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), has released its 2012 Annual Report and recommended that the Secretary of State name the following nations "countries of particular concern" or CPCs: Burma, China, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.* The vast majority of these nations receive American tax dollars. View full report here.

NEO NAZI ATTACK IN FRANCE - Liberal news outlets in the United States put forward a report that former French soldiers who were neo-Nazi's had attacked a Jewish school in France killing young children. This was at a time when there was absolutely no evidence this was true. The brutal killer turned out to be a Muslim who had held one seven-year-old girl by the hair while he shot her in the head. The gunman, Mohammed Merah, was so proud of his actions that he had taped a video camera to his own neck, to record the whole event. The continuing story was quickly dropped from the front pages of the New York Times, which now features numerous stories on how "racist" whites are in Florida.

LONDON MAYORAL CANDIDATE LOVES MOHAMMED - London mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone calls Prophet Mohammed's words an "agenda for all humanity" in a bizarre attempt to buy votes from the Islamic community. Livingstone frequently refers to Jews as Zionists and displays a hatred for Jews. He seeks Muslim votes saying that he does not expect Jews or Zionists to vote for a Labour candidate like him because they all have money. Read more

Report From Washington - January 27, 2012

Rick Santorum stands for God given rights in Florida debate / Obama favors Muslim Brotherhood / The Egypt Obama made / One Thousand days since Congress passed a budget / Muslim students attack in Dearborn / School attacks student for pro-family op-ed / Will Nigeria surrender to terror? / Christian schools with Islamic prayers / Canada honor killings trial
MONDAY OR FRIDAY? - For two weeks I have run a survey asking subscribers to tell me if they prefer to continue to received updates late Friday or early Monday. The results are in and .... it is a tie. Being rather surprised by this I will continue to issue the updates on Friday.

THE PRESIDENCY

WHAT A CONTRAST - While President Obama and his campaign is championing class warfare and central planning, one presidential candidate is telling Americans that rights come from God and not from government. During the most recent presidential debate in Florida, former Senator Rick Santorum received thunderous applause when he reminded the audience that our rights come from God but in Obama's view our rights come from government which means they can be taken away by government. See Youtube Clip

WHY OBAMA FAVORS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD - Islamists are coming to power throughout the Middle East with the support of President Barack Obama. The President and a vast array of liberals are in solidarity with Islamists and are enabling their rise to power. In this new book, United In Hate, Jamie Glazov explains the phenomena. A CBN interview of Jamie Glazov on his powerful book is a must read.

THE EGYPT OBAMA MADE - The United States gives Egypt over $2 billion a year, of which about 80% is military aid. The Egyptian military now refuses to allow Sam LaHood, the son of a the Secretary of Transportation, to leave Egypt. He had been working there with the International Republican Institute, a conservative pro-democracy group. It was among 31 groups shut down by the military last month. More bad news: The really bad guys, the Muslim Brotherhood, will take over from the military in a few more months.

CONGRESS 

NO BUDGET IN 1,000 DAYS - It has now been more than 1,000 days since the Senate has passed a budget for our federal government. Although the Republican House has passed a budget the last two years, the Democrat controlled Senate last passed a budget on April 29, 2009. At that time the national debt was $11.15 trillion. Today, the national debt is $15.2 trillion. Every American now owes $48,700, or, another way to put it is that every U.S. household owes $128,300.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

MUSLIM VIOLENCE IN DEARBORN - In October of last year, Lutheran Westland football team was beating the Star International Academy which is all Muslim, by a score of 47 to 6 at the end of the fourth quarter. It was the last minute of the game and Lutheran's quarterback was going to "take a knee" and run out the clock. Knowing this, the referee had told both teams that there could be "no contact" on the play. As the Lutheran quarterback kneeled with the ball the Muslims busted through the unprepared defensive line and beat him unconscious after taking off his helmet. Read more
STRAIGHT STUDENT BELITTLED BY SCHOOL - A 15-year-old Wisconsin boy who wrote an op-ed opposing gay adoptions was censored, threatened with suspension and called ignorant by the superintendent of the Shawano School District in Wisconsin. Oddly the school had solicited both pro and con op-eds for the newspaper and there was no problem until homosexuals complained. The school then tore out the anti-gay marriage op-ed before distributing the newspaper. The student, Brandon Wegner, is suing the school demanding an apology for "Its unconstitutional and irrational censorship and humiliation." Read more

INTERNATIONAL
NIGERIA TO SURRENDER? - Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan, who is a Christian, suggested talks with the Islamic terror group Boko Haram. This comes just a week after Boko Haram attacks killed nearly 200. The leader of the Boko Haram wasted no time in answering the attempt by the Nigerian government to negotiate. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau flatly said no and then told President Jonathan he must "repent as a Muslim."

CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS WITH ISLAMIC PRAYERS? - A self established sharia court in Jammu and Kashmir in India has asked the state government to take over Christian schools. The decree also asked three Christian priests to leave the state for "luring Muslims in the valley toward Christianity." The Muslims do not, however, want the Indian government to take over their schools. As part of the takeover the Muslims are demanding that the Christian schools start the day with Muslim songs and prayers and have classes on Islam.

CANADA HONOR KILLINGS -On June 30, 2009, Mohammad Shafia, with the help of his wife Tuba and his son Hamed, murdered his three daughters and his other wife in Ontario, Canada. The wealthy Shafia family worked quickly to conceal their actions but police caught up with them. This week CNN reported on the mass honor killing without mentioning the motive. The father of the murdered children had said, "They betrayed kindness. They betrayed Islam. They betrayed our religion and creed. They betrayed our tradition." He added, "Even if they come back to life a hundred times, if I have a cleaver in my hand, I will cut (them) in pieces." He renounced his three daughters for dating westernized men and acting unclean. Incredibly, CNN reported that: "interrogations of the family never uncovered a motive." How about this motive: The killers believe every word and instruction of the Qur'an.

Report From Washington - January 20, 2012

Obama says oil pipeline too dangerous / The Gingrich disaster / Santorum's surprise / American Muslim children taught hatred in Islamic schools / NYC pastors arrested over service ban / Nigeria death toll rises / Pakistan province seizes church hospital / Jihad in Egypt rising
 
THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA: PIPELINE TOO DANGEROUS - We have all seen those haunting photos of starving kids in Africa that organizations such as Feed the Children use to raise money. Try to picture American kids looking like that. Most African poverty is caused by a lack of cheap energy. There is no power to drill wells; no power to transport water; no diesel for farming tractors; no gas for cooking; and no electricity to refrigerate and store food. An energy poor nation is a starving nation. By refusing to meet the energy needs of the American people, President Barack Obama and his leftist supporters are pointing the nation toward poverty and starvation. Obama's refusal to increase Canadian oil imports by denying a permit for the Keystone pipeline is an epoch disaster for the American people.
SANTORUM'S SURPRISE - The day Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the race, Fox News commentators said it was really bad news for Santorum because he would now finish last behind Ron Paul. The final polls showed Rick Santorum at 9%, but on election day he nearly doubled that, decidedly defeating Ron Paul. After the departure of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, the only consistent conservative left in the GOP primary race is Rick Santorum. Both Gov. Mitt Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich had supported the same medical insurance mandates as Barack Obama. Gingrich appeared in a TV ad with radical leftist Nancy Pelosi promoting "green energy." As for Ron Paul, his foreign affairs views are to the far left of Barack Obama's.
THE GINGRICH DISASTER - This update was released late Saturday to include the results of the South Carolina GOP primary. Newt Gingrich, riding high on his attacks on the media, received 41% of the vote. The problem with this is that Newt Gingrich's views change literally by the minute and he has held far more positions on both sides of the issues than has Gov. Mitt Romney. Because I am a Washington insider and because I do know Newt Gingrich well, I can say with clarity that if he is the Republican nominee for president Barack Obama will win a second term and the Republicans will lose control of the House and drop seats in the Senate. During a second Obama term the pro-life movement will be crushed using Obama Care and the United States will become a welfare state. Religious freedom as we know it will end, with the government controlling who is hired and fired by the church and dictating what can be said from the pulpit.
 
RELIGION AND CULTURE

AMERICAN MUSLIM CHILDREN TAUGHT HATE - Muslim children attending mosques and Islamic schools are being taught to hate America, our government, our military personnel, and America's non Muslim population. The following article identifies three significant mosques in America that are leading the way in teaching Muslim children to hate and to influence them to commit violent acts inside our country. The report prepared by Dave Gaubatz, a former federal agent, is astonishing. Read more
PASTORS ARRESTED IN NYC - Forty-three people including pastors were arrested in the Bronx on the 13th for protesting the ban on churches renting schools for meetings.
