THE PRESIDENCY

DOES YOUTUBE LOVE OBAMA? -A video exposing Sen. Barack Obama's extremist support for abortion has been blocked by YouTube.com. The Kansas Coalition for Life produced a video titled "Obama: WRONG Change for Children," which included information about Obama's voting record on abortion- related bills. Youtube.com blocked the video saying it did not meet a "Community Guideline." This is the same Youtube that will allow anyone who says they are over 18 to watch porn. This FoxNews clip about a woman who survived an abortion has not been blocked. View here.

WASHINGTON POST MOCKS PALIN'S FAITH - The Washington Post printed an editorial cartoon mocking Gov. Sarah Palin and all Pentecostals. The Post would not have printed anything like this about a Muslim or a Jew. The cartoon, which can be viewed here cannot be called anything other than despicable. In Nazi Germany the same kind of hate filled cartoons were printed about Jews in the Nazi controlled newspapers of Germany in the 1930's. Liberals, in their hatred and their desire for censorship, are closely related to fascists.

DEMOCRAT LEADER GOES TO MCCAIN/PALIN - In a rather astonishing announcement, one of the authors of the Democrat Party platform has announced that she will back John McCain and Sarah Palin. Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a top fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton's primary candidacy, endorsed Senator McCain and warned that Obama would move the nation "too far to the left" Watch this exchange between her and CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

NEW VOTER GUIDE - David Barton, a true American historian, heads Wallbuilders. That organization has researched the records of both Barack Obama and John McCain and put together a voter guide based upon their actual statements and votes. You may download and distribute the guide. Click here for PDF version.

THE CONGRESS

JUST 5 DAYS TO LEGISLATE? - For years this update had two sections for Congress, one for the House and one for the Senate. Each week I would post information on numerous bills in both houses. NOT ANY MORE!. Sine the Democrats took over the House and Senate in January of 2007 so little has been done that I had to reduce the Update to one section on the Congress. Other than a phony "offshore" oil drilling bill nothing of any merit has moved through the House since Labor Day. AND ... Radical left Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has scheduled so few days for the year that I cannot see how anything can be accomplished. She literally has only five business days scheduled for the rest of the year!

CULTURE AND RELIGION

SAUDI CLERIC: KILL IMMORAL BROADCASTERS - Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaidan told state-run Saudi television that the owners of radio and television networks broadcasting "immoral" programs may be killed. "It is lawful to kill... the apostles of depravity... if their evil cannot be easily removed through simple sanctions" According to this mandate virtually every broadcaster in the United States faces beheading. No major media outlet in the USA mentioned this outrageous statement. Imagine the outrage from the media if a Christian leader even suggested immoral broadcasts should be censored.

IRAQI REFUGEES TO USA? - We have just received the latest figures on the number of Iraqis being permitted to immigrate to the United States. The Bush Administration says that 32,418 have been "approved," however, only 12,551 have actually arrived. Of the 32,418 authorized about 10,883 are Christians. Sweden has taken in more than 18,000 Iraqi refugees and the town of Sodertalje, Sweden has more than the entire United States.
