THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA WANTS YOU TO HELP HIS RELATIVES -Barack Hussein Obama wants to spread your wealth, but not his. Although he is worth more than $4 million he refuses to help his aunt who lives in squalor in New York. Obama also has a brother living in a shack with a dirt floor in Kenya that he refuses to help despite his vast wealth. He did introduce a bill in the Senate to use your money to help his brother. His Global Poverty Act would send $845 billion of US taxpayers money overseas to "fight poverty."

OBAMA NEWS 2009 - Have you seen the "news clip" filmed in the future during a Barack Obama presidency? The news clip reads off all the promises of Barack Obama as if they are happening and it is scary to watch. View the clip at www.obamanews2009.com.

THE CONGRESS

CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS - The Republican Study Committee is a caucus of conservative Republicans in the House. Virtually all of the members of the Caucus are social and economic conservatives. Although there are 199 Republicans in the House, less than 100 belong to the RSC. Is your congressman a member of the RSC? Check here.

In addition to my duties at the Religious Freedom Coalition I am the chairman of Government Is Not God, a political action committee. Click here to see kind the candidates I have supported this year as chairman of that PAC.

MURTHA'S REDNECK DISTRICT - There are a bunch of loud mouthed radical Democrats in the House, starting with San Francisco radical House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Of all the radicals, the one who least represents his district is John Murtha. His constituents in rural Pennsylvania are church going folks, many of whom work in mines and mills. His votes in Congress on social issues just don't agree with his constituents beliefs, and a few weeks ago he revealed why when he called them "racists" and "rednecks." Read More.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

HOUR OF POWER - CHURCH OF PSYCHOLOGY - Crystal Cathedral and Hour of Power Founder Rev. Robert Schuller has ousted his son from preaching on the weekly show because his messages were based on the Bible. Yes, you read that right ... his son, Robert Schuller, Jr. was ousted because he was preaching Biblical truth. "I was called to start a mission, not a church," the elder Schuller told his audience the Sunday after he fired his son. "There is a difference. . . . You don't try to preach . . . what is sin and what isn't sin. A mission is a place where you ask nonbelievers to come and find faith and hope and feel love. We're a mission first, a church second." Read LA Times article with full quote.

CHRISTIAN MARTYRS IN IRAQ - The Iraqi government has lied about sending 1,000 police to Mosul to stop the violence against Christians there. Most of the Christians in Mosul have already fled from their homes in Baghdad and other areas of southern Iraq. With the Jordanian and Syrian borders closed and the United States unwilling to assist them, there is not much else Christians can do except be martyred for Christ. Click here to read Ken Timmerman's latest article on the crisis.

CHRISTIANS FACE MORE ATTACKS IN INDIA - Months ago I wrote about the attacks on Christians in eastern India, particularly in the state of Orissa. Despite public outcry including a statement from the Pope, and a promise from the Indian government to act, the crimes against Christians continue. Read more

AFGHANISTAN FREEDOM? - To put the words "Afghanistan" and "freedom" in the same sentence is an oxymoron. The two words contradict one another. American blood has been spilled in Afghanistan to allow the enforcement of Sharia laws, including disenfranchising women, stoning people to death for adultery and sending others to jail for decades for asking the wrong questions in a college class room. After a student in Afghanistan was sentenced to 20 years in jail for "blasphemy," a Canadian newspaper asked in an editorial, "What are we doing there?" Read editorial

THE PRESIDENCY

SOUND THE ALARM NOW -Radio host Janet Folger Porter has anchored a newscast from the future that is a warning to America. The January 22, 2009 newscast reports on the first days of the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. In this report from the future, we learn that the new president is fulfilling his promises to the abortion industry and other far left interests. The video can be viewed at www.obamanews2009.com.

OBAMA PULLS AHEAD - As the world economy continues to collapse, the polls indicate that Senator Barack Hussein Obama is surging ahead. Social conservatives who make up about 40% of the Republican Party are defecting to the Democrats as they watch their retirement dreams vanish to the free trade anachy. Unregulated hedge funds have over the past eight years gambled away the future of America, and the inability of President Bush and the Congress to rein them in has destroyed the Republican coalition. Most social conservatives are populists, not free traders and the Republican leadership's failure to understand that may lead to an Obama victory and a strengthening of the Democrat hold on the House and Senate.

OBAMA'S NAZI TYPE RALLY - Although he has not yet won the election, Barack Hussein Obama has ordered the construction of a giant stage for his victory rally in a Chicago Park. The rally, which will have coordinated flag waving ala the Hitler era will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Read more.

THE CONGRESS

GREENSPAN ADMITS ERRORS - Although Congress is officially in recess, individual committees continue to hold hearings. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform headed by Chairman Barnie Frank called former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan as a witness this week. During his testimony he admitted to "errors" during his term as chairman. While the rest of the world was praising Greenspan, many populists including myself were warning that he had put too much money in circulation at virtually a zero interest rate and that the resulting uncontrolled growth would eventually collapse into financial ruins. He admits now he may have made an "error."

MURTHA'S REDNECK DISTRICT - Loudmouth Congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania recently called his constituents "racists." When this angered not only them but local media outlets, he modified his comments to say his constituents were "rednecks." Most recently he said that only the "older" constituents were "rednecks." He was apparently trying to explain why Barack Hussein Obama may not win in his district. He is now having some problems with his own reelection. Read more.

INTERNATIONAL

TWENTY YEARS IN JAIL FOR FREE SPEECH? - For more than a year I have been reporting on an Afghan journalism student who was convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death after a secret trial. After intervention by President Bush his life was spared and his trail was moved to Kabul. His alleged crime was raising questions about the role of women in Islamic society. The more "enlightened" Kabul court has reduced his sentence to imprisonment for 20 years. The decision drew condemnation from international rights groups. I have personally contacted the White House asking for intervention. American and European troops are fighting in Afghanistan to support a government that sends people to jail for decades for exercising free speech. Read More.

CHRISTIAN WORKER SLAIN IN KABUL - Gayle Williams, a 34-year-old dual British-South African national who helped handicapped Afghans, was shot to death as she was walking to work this week. In a statement the Taliban said she was murdered for"spreading Christianity." She was with an NGO that assists poor handicapped children. The Afghan government condemned the attack, the same Afghan government that put a man in jail for 20 years for asking a question about women's rights in class. Read more.

MORE CHRISTIANS FLEE - Nearly 10,000 Christians have fled Mosul in the last month and none are returning despite a promise of cash from the Iraqi government that has failed to protect them. That 10,000 represents half the city's Christian population. They have fled as murders and attacks on their homes continue. The Iraqi government says it sent 1,000 police to Mosul to protect Christians, but this was a lie told to the Bush Administration to appease them. No additional police have been dispatched to Mosul.
