Report From Washington - May 25, 2012

Shocker: Obama lost most Kentucky counties in Dem primary / Obama orders school to allow man in women's bathroom / Obama's attack on religious freedom / Congress, Obama, the defense bill and chaplains' rights / New lawsuits against Obama Care over religious issues / What is behind the contraceptive mandate? / French socialists celebrate a Muslim victory / More Pakistan "blasphemy " arrests / Christians murdered in Pakistan / Pakistan jails doctor who helped find bin Laden / Moderate Muslims toss bags of urine in church

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA ELECTION SHOCKER - In the Kentucky Democratic primary, President Barack Obama lost a majority of the counties. In Harlan County, in the heart of coal country, Obama received just 26.2 percent of the vote. His opponent did not have a name; the majority of counties voted for "uncommitted." With help from the larger cites Obama did win the primary with 58 percent of the vote; however, this was the third state in a row in which he received less than 60 percent. In West Virginia a convicted felon still in jail received 42 percent of the vote against Obama. The president also received less than 60% in Arkansas. Does this matter? Read this. Obama's weakness comes from more than his attacks on the coal industry in these rural areas. His very public approval of sodomy is not welcome in America's heartland.

OBAMA: MEN MUST BE ALLOWED IN WOMEN'S RESTROOM - The Obama Department of Justice has ordered the University of Arkansas at Ft. Smith to allow a male student to use women's bathrooms on campus. Campus Reform reports that a male student who calls himself "Jennifer Braly," and is in the process of raising money to pay for his sex-reassignment surgery, filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice after the campus told him to use gender-neutral bathrooms rather than women's restrooms.

NEW AD POINTS TO MORE OBAMA VIOLATIONS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - The Religious Freedom Coalition has a continuing advertising campaign designed to stop President Barack Obama's frequent attacks on religious freedom. This weekend, an ad listing even more of Obama's egregious insults to religious freedom was placed in the weekly edition of the New York Times which is distributed in Washington, DC and mailed to all 50 states. See ad

CONGRESS 

CONGRESS IN RECESS - The House and Senate are now in recess and will return May 31st. No votes will be taken on the 31st before 6:00 PM.

PROTECTING CHAPLAINS' RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - The Obama Administration announced its opposition to an amendment included in the House-passed version of the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 4310) that provides specific conscience and religious freedom protections for military chaplains and other service members. The repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military last year raised concerns that service members whose religious beliefs conflicted with homosexual behavior would face discrimination and disapproval. If he cannot force Christian chaplains to approve of homosexual behavior, Obama is willing to veto the entire military budget bill.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

CHURCH LAWSUITS AGAINST CONTRACEPTIVE MANDATE - Forty-three organizations have filed religious freedom lawsuits opposing the HHS mandates. The University of Notre Dame, the Archdiocese of Washington, Catholic Charities of D.C., and the Saint Anne Home and Retirement Community are a few of the forty-three organizations that filed lawsuits this week opposing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate that will force scores of religious employers to provide health plans that cover services that violate their religious beliefs. THE REAL MANDATE ISSUE - The Obama mandate on contraceptive coverage in insurance is not about health care but the actual definition of religion. If the Obama Administration wins, religion will be defined as something that is only practiced inside a church on Sunday morning. Outside of the church building, according to Obama, there is no religious freedom. All religious organizations -- hospitals, soup kitchens, child care facilities, or whatever -- must abide by all government directives, even those that directly contradict the beliefs of the operators. The core purpose of the Obama mandates is to destroy all religious adherence outside of the church building itself.

INTERNATIONAL 

FIND THE FRENCH FLAG - The Socialist Party won the night and the new President of France is Francois Hollande. The victors celebrated the night away waving flags of the Ivory Coast, Morocco, Egypt, and the EU. Some are political party flags and one says "vote left." Most of the flags are Palestinian, indicating antisemitism, and the crowd is jubilant. Can you find the only French flag in the photo? Large Photo Here

MORE "BLASPHEMY" ARRESTS IN PAKISTAN - Police in Pakistan arrested a Christian, Sajid Inayat, and charged him with "blasphemy" after he had an argument with some Muslims over a billiards game in Punjab Province's Sheikhupura district. This adds one more to the number of innocent Christians rotting in jail in Pakistan accused of "blasphemy." Also this week there are no charges expected to be filed in a home invasion in which five Christians, including children, had their throats slit in the middle of the night by Muslims.

MORE PAKISTAN - Dr. Shakil Afridi led Navy SEALS to bin Laden by setting up a fake vaccination program that allowed him to take DNA samples from the terrorist's children. He has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for treason. Again ... the man who helped catch the terror mastermind was sent to jail for treason against Pakistan. Meanwhile Pakistan is still refusing to allow supplies to reach our troops in Afghanistan. According to President Obama, this nation is an ally of the United States.

MODERATE MUSLIM INDONESIA - No arrests have been made since 600 Islamists hurled bags filled with urine and ditchwater at about 100 members of a church last week and threatened to kill its pastor. Police looked on as the mob attacked the Philadelphia Batak Christian Protestant Church worshiping on the street in Bekasi, near Jakarta in West Java Province, on Thursday (May 17), church attorney Saor Siagian told Compass by phone.

Report From Washington, April 22, 2011

Muslim Brotherhood demands sharia law in Egypt / Obama helping Muslim Brotherhood? / John McCain fronts for Obama in Libya / Congress and the Ten Commandments / Liberals: Free speech kills / Son of Hamas and the Ground Zero mosque / Palm Sunday Church attack in Pakistan / Good Friday attack on church averted in Indonesia / Saudi Arabia arrests Christians
 
GOOD FRIDAY - This is the day that Our Lord suffered the cross as a sacrifice that all who believe may have eternal life. What appeared to be defeat to His tearful followers became a victory over death as He arose the 3rd day. May God bless you on this Holy Day

RESIDENCY 

EGYPT: WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT - President Obama's National Intelligence Director said in February, "The term 'Muslim Brotherhood' is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al-Qaida as a perversion of Islam." (See video) This week, Mahmoud Ezzat, the Muslim Brotherhood's deputy Supreme Guide, told a forum in Cairo that the group wants to establish an Islamic state in Egypt. Read more  
MCCAIN FRONTS FOR OBAMA - On Good Friday morning Senator John McCain toured Benghazi, Libya and made rather bizarre contradictory remarks. He said he was there to "learn who the rebels are" and then later said that the rebels are "my heroes." Why would the aging Senator call a group of Muslim fighters, some of whom formerly fought and killed our troops in Afghanistan, "heroes?" Obama is destroying the last vestiges of secular governments in North Africa such as in Egypt, and they are being replaced by extremists Muslims; and Senator McCain is all smiles about the result. McCain's comments must sound odd to the families of the men who died at the hands of these fighters in Afghanistan.
 

THE CONGRESS 

CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTION FOR TEN COMMANDMENTS - Just before the Easter Recess began, Congressman Louis Gohmert (R-TX) introduced H. Res 211, the Ten Commandments Weekend Resolution. The resolution supports the designation of the first weekend of May as Ten Commandments Weekend, a time to recognize the significant contributions the Ten Commandments have made in shaping the principles, institutions, and national character of the United States. Contact your congressman to co-sponsor and support H. Res. 211.
CONGRESS IN RECESS - The House and Senate are in "Spring Break" recess and will not return to session until May 2, 2011. No votes will occur prior to 6:00 PM on that date. Majority Leader's Calendar
 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

FREE SPEECH KILLS PEOPLE - This is the common argument of the Huffington Post, President Obama and General Petraeus when dealing with Islam. They all argue that those who are critical of Islam are causing Muslims to kill people. This is also the rationale of the psychopath who beats his wife: "She made me do it." Dr. Nicolai Sennels discusses the phenomena in The Psychopath's Argument: Free Speech Kills People  
APRIL 7th CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ONLINE - In this issue: America's new Libyan "allies" are former Gitmo residents, terrorists / Obama wants to fund Gaddafi - no, wait - Gaddafi must go! / Senator Durbin's staff has ties to Islamic extremists? / Congressional caucus saves condemned Afghan Christian / New bill to forbid the use of foreign law in U.S. courts / "In God We Trust' Resolution passes House.

NO 911 MOSQUE!

SON OF HAMAS WARNS AGAINST GZ MOSQUE - Last year, Mosab Hassan Yousef, whose father founded Hamas discussed on the Fox Business Channel why he feels the construction of the mosque in New York is a grave mistake. He said that building the mosque "on a graveyard" was like pouring "acid" on a wound. Yousef is the author of Son of Hamas. Although this was a short interview, Yousef made some powerful points about Feisal Rauf and his agenda. This interview is a great reminder of the real situation. Please pass it around. Watch here!

INTERNATIONAL 

PALM SUNDAY ATTACK IN PAKISTAN - Tensions are still running high in Pakistan where hundreds of Muslims on Saturday attacked the Christian village of Khokarki. The Muslims had organized a demonstration against a Christian man, Mushtaq Gill, and his son for allegedly desecrating the Qur'an. The mob wanted to "punish them publicly" before any police investigation was actually carried out. Read more  
GOOD FRIDAY DISASTER AVERTED IN INDONESIA - Indonesian Muslim Jihadists planted nine bombs, one weighing almost a 1,000 pounds near a cathedral in Serpong, just west of Jakarta. Some were placed under a gas pipeline to cause large numbers of casualties. Police learned of the bombs while questioning terror suspects who had sent letter bombs to officials. National police spokesman Anton Bachrul Alam said the bombs were timed to explode as Christian worshipers arrived at the church to celebrate Good Friday.
SAUDI ARABIA ARRESTS CHRISTIANS - Hundreds of Thousands of Christians from all over the world are hired to work in Saudi Arabia, but they are not allowed to worship the Lord. Two Indian Christians of a thriving Pentecostal house church are now in prison in Riyadh. Vasantha Sekhar Vara, 28, and Nese Yohan, 31, who are members of the "Rejoice in the Church of the Lord" congregation have been in "pre-trail" detention. In India, Vara's pastor, Ajay Kuma Jeldi, said that Vara had told him by telephone that he had been pressured in prison to convert to Islam, but had refused. "If I have to die for my God, I will die for him here," Vara reportedly said. Read more

Barack Obama, the friend of sharia / An Egyptian democracy? / Will Congress defund Planned Parenthood / FCC to kill free speech / Social conservatives and CPAC / The liberal media has second thoughts on the mosque / Indonesian mobs destroy churches / Freedom on trial in Europe  
NEW FEBRUARY 3, 2011 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT- Issue highlights: Slumlord Feisal Rauf replaced by "Sheik" Adhami as GZ mosque imam / Elites and gays unhappy with Adhami / Obama, Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood / Radical Muslim found in car trunk at Mexican border / Suicide bomber book found at Mexican border / Democrats bring out the race card (again) / Congressman enters bill to assist repressed religions in Middle East / Will Congress reaffirm "In God We Trust"
 

PRESIDENCY

FRIEND OF SHARIAH - "Mr. Obama is pursuing policies favored by those who adhere to the repressive, supremacist and virulently anti-American Islamic political-military-legal program its adherents call shariah," according to security expert Frank Gaffney. In a recent article on the Egyptian crisis Gaffney went on to explain, "In Iran, shariah is already the law of the land, ruthlessly enforced by the Shiite theocrats of Tehran. In Egypt, the Mubarak regime's failure faithfully to enforce shariah is one of the principal impetuses behind the Iranian mullahs' Sunni wannabe counterparts, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or, in Arabic, Ikhwan)." That is just part of the indictment of President Barack Obama by former Undersecretary of Defense Frank Gaffney. In his latest article Gaffney details how Obama is supporting the advancement of the radical Islamic agenda either by ignorance or deliberate intent. Read more  
IS EGYPT THE NEW IRAN - President Jimmy Carter declared that he had helped bring democracy to Iran in 1979. Within a few months the notion of democracy was replaced by a Islamic theocracy. President Barack Obama. much to the displeasure of Saudi Arabian royalty, has now "helped" bring about democracy in Egypt. My take: Within one year any concept of democracy will be gone, replaced by either an Iranian type theocracy of a military government.
 

THE CONGRESS

DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD - Republicans in the House are finally going to try to stop tax funding for the largest abortion mill operator, Planned Parenthood. For decades the federal government has handed Planned Parenthood millions of tax dollars despite the fact that the majority of Americans are pro-life. The move is backed up by new videos of Planned Parenthood "counselors." who are actually commissioned salespeople, telling pimps how to get abortions for underage "sex workers." Videos and more information is available at www.exposeplannedparenthood.com  
DON'T LET FCC KILL FREE SPEECH - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) and U.S. Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR) introduced the Broadcaster Freedom Act to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, which would suppress free speech by requiring the government to monitor political views and decide what constitute fair political discourse. "The American people cherish freedom, especially freedom of speech and of the press. Bringing back the Fairness Doctrine would amount to government control over political views expressed on the public airways," said Pence, a former broadcaster. "We must pass the Broadcaster Freedom Act and bury the Fairness Doctrine once and for all."

RELIGION AND CULTURE

"WHITE MALE" THREATENS TO BOMB MOSQUE - just a few days ago the liberal media ran the story of a "white male Vietnam veteran" who attempted to bomb a mosque in Detroit. The Islamic organization CAIR immediately issued a press release stating this proved "Islamaphobia." OOPS ... the man, Roger Dale Stockham, converted to Islam in an Indonesian prison and speaks fluent Arabic. He threatened to bomb the mosque because it was Shiite. Previously he had been arrested for threatening the life of President George W. Bush while he was in office. As soon as it became apparent that Stockham was a Muslim, the mainstream media dropped the story. 
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES AND CPAC - In a full-page ad in the February 7 edition of The Washington Times, a group of conservative leaders, including William J Murray of the Religious Freedom Coalition, said they are deeply troubled by the direction of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) - which opened on February 10. Click here to see the ad as it appeared in the Washington Times" (including a list of signers). Prominent conservative groups boycotting CPAC include the American Family Association, Liberty Counsel, Family Research Council, the Heritage Foundation, Religious Freedom Coalition as well as such leaders as Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Jim DeMint and Sean Hannity.
 

NO 911 MOSQUE!

LIBERAL MEDIA HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS - The current edition of The Villager, a very liberal, pro-gay, pro-Obama, pro-anything-but-America weekly in New York City seems to be having second thoughts about the Cordoba House or Park 51 or P51 or whatever it is being called now. Most Americans (but not the Villager) call the project the Ground Zero mosque because it is being built on the human remains of the victims of 9-11. In an editorial this week the Villager looks at the project differently than when it was announced:

"Nine months later, that original presentation seems like a mischaracterization, at best. At worst, it seems like nothing more than the jump-off point for a public-relations spin campaign. The message we applauded and the project this community center has become are now murky and muddled." (Complete editorial)

Suddenly left leaning journalists are coming to realize that Sharif el-Gamal, the for-profit developer with the credit problems, and party animal Imam Feisal Rauf are not exactly cut from the same cloth. Those of us who understand Islam at its core knew that the project was "murky and muddled" from the beginning because we are familiar with taqiyya. Taqiyya is the allowance in Islam for Muslims to lie to non-Muslims for the purpose of advancing Islam.

INDONESIAN MOBS DESTROY CHURCHES - How often do we hear in the media about the "moderate" Muslims of Indonesia? Well, those moderate Muslims attacked Christians and destroyed several churches because a Christian accused of "blasphemy" was sentenced to only five years in jail. The crowd first attacked the Catholic Church of Saints Peter and Paul and wounded the priest. Father Saldanha was beaten by the mob, which then attacked and set fire to two Protestant churches, Bethel Church and Pantekosta Church, before terrorizing a Catholic orphanage and a hospital run by the Sisters of Providence.

FREEDOM ON TRIAL IN EUROPE - Geert Wilders, the leader of the third largest political party in the Netherlands, is on trial once again for "hate speech." He is just one of many leaders in Europe facing jail for telling the truth about Islam. Sometimes they are being tried in court for simply quoting the Qur'an. "The lights are going out all over Europe, and it's because of Islam," Wilders told a packed courtroom at the beginning of his retrial, "There are no Islamic Mozarts or Bill Gates because they can't exist where there is no creative freedom. An ideology that comes from the desert can only create a desert."
