Off Limits

For those Americans who still doubt that secularism is at war with religion, specifically Christianity, I suggest they review the section of the Pres Obama/Democratic Party “stimulus” package addressing federal financial support and colleges. One provision in this section earmarks federal money for the renovation of existing colleges and universities. However, according to Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law & Justice, “when you read a little bit further into this legislation, there's a specific prohibition on two things. One, if the university itself is a religiously based or faith-based institution, it does not qualify. And if the facility that is being renovated allows religious worship to take place, it also does not qualify." (http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=409082)

Any question as to whether this provision is just the latest attempt to remove religion from the public sector was answered when the Senate rejected South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint’s amendment requesting that the religious worship ban be removed from the provision.

Americans are learning quickly that our new president speaks with a forked-tongue. He has already backtracked on his pledge that officials will be barred from working on issues for which they have served as lobbyists. Now it appears that he is doing the same when it comes to his “openness” to faith. Or as Mat Staver, founder of the nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization Liberty Counsel tells OneNewsNow.com, “President Obama's idea of faith-based initiatives apparently is to remove faith from all initiatives."

Our “Culture of Death” President

President Obama is adding his stamp of approval to our “Culture of Death”. Our new chief executive has already overturned President Bush’s eight-year ban on using U.S. taxpayer dollars to support overseas family planning services (read abortion). Now there is word that he is expected to loosen the federal funding restrictions against embryonic stem cell research, restrictions that have been in place since August 2001. Few Americans realize that his actions are placing this nation on a slippery slope which will lead to scientific perversions, perversions that will make Huxley’s Brave New World look like Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.

Along with the other arguments against embryonic stem cell research–such as its failure to produce any positive results–is the long term damage it will inflict on efforts to ban, or even limit, abortions. Why? The more funding this research receives, the more test subjects will be needed. Although limited numbers of test subjects are not a problem at present, they will be at some point. Embryos will need to come from somewhere. What better way of guaranteeing a steady supply of test subjects than by allowing abortion mills to continue their grisly procedures? Do not be surprised if the government eventually solicits volunteers to undergo impregnation for the sole purpose of providing embryos for research. It will be eerily reminiscent of Hitler’s directive that Nazi women deliver as many children as possible, a directive that even rewarded medals to women who bred at least five children (Medicine in the Twentieth Century, Roger Cooter and John V. Pickstone, Harwood Academic Publishers p 562). Just as women in Nazi Germany were rewarded for selflessly giving birth for the Fatherland, so will American women be praised for selflessly conceiving for science.

Supporters of cloning will also benefit from the lifting of federal funding restrictions against embryonic stem cell research. After all if an embryo is not considered a human being and worthy of rights, why would anyone argue differently for clones? Americans will argue that cloning is an extension of the Roe vs. Wade “Right to Privacy” ruling. People will kick and scream that they have “the right to do what they want with their bodies”, including cloning them for the purpose of harvesting organs and stem cells. Picture Robin Cook’s Coma or the film “The Matrix”. That is where we are headed.

Pretty frightening, isn’t it? And you don’t need to be Nostradamus to envision it happening.

Thank you, Mr. President.

The Destruction of Judeo-Christian Morality Reaches the White House

Well, that didn’t take long.
It has been less than 48 hours since President Obama was crowned, excuse me, inaugurated. Yet, he has already begun his attack on the traditional Judeo-Christian values that have shaped this nation since its inception. Thanks to www.massresistance.org I was alerted to the administration’s recent postings on the White House website (http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/civil_rights/). Among these entries is our new president’s “civil rights” agenda. Below are several of the items listed on the site:

$ Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: President Obama and Vice President Biden will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation, expand hate crimes protection by passing the Matthew Shepard Act, and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice's Criminal Section.

(The Act, according to www.massresistance.org, would allow the federal government to prosecute an individual if his/her criminal actions were ‘"motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived . . . gender, sexual orientation, gender identity" of the victim’.)
$ Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

$ Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions.

$ Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

$ Expand Adoption Rights: President Obama believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. He thinks that a child will benefit from a healthy and loving home, whether the parents are gay or not.


So America. Still think you voted for a man who is not a leftist? Still think our president is a man trying to find the center, someone who is reaching out to all across the political spectrum?

Hardly.

But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by Obama’s brazenness considering the demigod status many Americans have bestowed on him. Celebrities are among those who have made the silliest comments sanctifying our new president. Catholic News Services published some of them today (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=42227) Talk show host/media magnate Oprah Winfrey credits President Obama for making her “want to be a better human being.” Not to be outdone hip-hop mogul Jay-Z confessed that “Obama changed my life in the same way he has changed your life.” Sorry, Jay-Z. But it will take a lot more than a few inspirational speeches for someone to get credit for changing my life, unless of course those speeches were made by the Son of God. And speaking of God that reminds me of the dumbest comment uttered yesterday by an inaugural attendee. This misguided individual asserted that when you listen to President Obama “you feel like God is speaking to you”.

Oh, brother.

Stay tuned, folks. Obama’s assault on traditional values and our nation’s continued worship of him has just begun.
