Mike Huckabee Demonstrates How NOT To Argue The Homosexual “Marriage” Issue MIKE HUCKABEE, in his debate with John Stewart, host of the Comedy Channel’s “The Daily Show,” never once mentioned what God’s Word says about marriage or homosexuality.
Great Moments In Inaugural “Poetry”? None, Won’t Be One Now, But I Did Reply To Maya Angelou’s Ramblings Barack Obama’s Inaugural “Poet” is Elizabeth Alexander, a Professor of African-American Studies at Yale University. A great moment in poetry from her ought not to be anticipated - if by great one means a poem that, among other things, makes sense, is coherent, and has meaning. For example, here, in its entirety, is Alexander’s “poem” titled “Emancipation”:
Frank Zappa Dangerously Wrong — “Just Words” Powerful And Have Moved Some People To Commit Murder In my 1986 cult-classic, CNN-“Crossfire” debate with the late but not great Frank Zappa, which has almost one million hits on You Tube, Zappa says, at one point, when I object to some song lyrics, that what I am complaining about are “just words” - as if words are irrelevant. But, of course, words are very powerful and have moved some people to commit murder. The following is a piece I wrote which appeared in “The Washington Times” newspaper on August 12, 1987. I was a regular columnist for the “Times” from 1982-1989. - J.L.
The Lord Jesus Christ First, True Libertarian; His Coming Most Important “Political” Event In History The religious significance of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is well known. But, what is not so well known is the sense in which Christ’s birth is “the most important single political event in history,” as Dr. R.J. Rushdoony has observed and documented in many of his books. For example, in his book “The Foundations Of Social Order: Studies In The Creeds And Councils Of The Early Church” (1968), Dr. Rushdoony, referring to the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.), calls this an event that “handed Statism its major defeat in man’s history” because it established God as “the true sovereign and the true source of law.” He notes: “Western liberty began when the claim of the State to be man’s savior was denied. The State then, according to Scripture, was made the ministry of justice. But, wherever Christ ceases to be man’s Savior, there liberty perishes as the State again asserts its messianic claims. Man is in trouble, and history is the record of his attempt to find salvation. Man needs a savior, and the question is simply one of choice: Christ or the State? No man can choose one without denying the other, and all attempts at compromise are a delusion.
Interview: “Atheist”* Attorney Agrees With Mao, Stalin, Hitler That Rights Come From The State So The State Can Take Those Rights Away Edwin F. Kagin is National Legal Director of American Atheists, Inc. He and some fellow God-haters are suing Kentucky because one of the state’s laws says that God is our number one protector in terms of “homeland security.” I chatted with him recently and apologize that our talk turned quickly into a rather messier discussion than I had wanted.
Just Like The Liberals, Conservative Hero Judges Also Godless In Their Legal Philosophy From an article titled “The Higher Law And ‘Original Intent’: The Challenge For Conservatism” by Charles R. Kesler, in the Spring 1987 “The Intercollegiate Review.” Kesler, at the time, was an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Associate Director of the Henry Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College. Making the point that supposedly different conservative judges are, in reality, no different from liberal judges in that both reject any notion of a higher law, Kesler says:
Should Bush/Cheney, Others Be Prosecuted If Evidence They Committed War Crimes, Domestic Crimes? Yes! Where Are Christian/Conservative Leaders On This Issue? If there is evidence that Bush Administration officials - including the President and the Vice President - were involved in war crimes, or domestic crimes here at home, should they be prosecuted? The obvious answer is: Of course! Yes! And there does appear to be such evidence. The following interview excerpts touch on this subject. The first excerpt is from Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC “Count Down” program (12/16/08). His guest is Jonathan Turley who teaches Constitutional Law at Georgetown University. The second interview excerpt is from the MSNBC “Rachel Maddow Show” (12/15/08). Her guest is Thomas Tamm, a former Justice Department official and “whistleblower” who revealed the Bush Administration’s warrantless wiretapping program. It is a shame and a disgrace that prominent Christian/conservative individuals and organizations are silent on this important issue of Bush Administration law-breaking and only those on the Left are focusing attention on this subject. - J.L.
Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee Spokesman Against Christian License Plate But A Little Rusty On Her U.S. History One of the organizations joining a law suit against the state of South Carolina for issuing a license plate featuring a cross, a stained-glass window and the words “I Believe” is the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee. I chatted recently with the group’s Communications Director Laila Al-Qatami. Our conversation — well, it — she was somewhat — it ended rather abruptly.
Brian Rohrbough To Speak On “The Pro-Life Industry Vs. The Pro-Life Ministry - Strategy Vs. Morality” At “Institute On The Constitution’s” January Event The January speaker is Brian Rohrbough, President of the Colorado-based “American Right to Life,” an organization dedicated to ending abortion by recognizing the God given right to life and establishing the personhood of every human being beginning at the very moment that biological life begins. “A. R. T. L.” opposes every “pro-life” initiative or legislation that compromises God’s enduring command “Do Not Murder”. If a law ends with “and then you can kill the baby” it is a bad law.
Interview: William J. Murray, Chairman, The Religious Freedom Coalition, Re: Persecution Of Iraqi Christians Also discussed: The sin and political stupidity of so many who call themselves “Christians” when, in fact, they are, alas, first, Republican Party cheerleaders instead of, first, being people who think and act like Christians.- Rushdoony On Deuteronomy And War One of the Dead Sea Scrolls is entitled, The War of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness. Its concern was with the great war with God’s enemies at the end-time. These laws had their influence. Throughout the Christian era, much has occurred in the way of efforts, both successful and unsuccessful, to limit injustices in wartime. Although the history of Western warfare is not good, it still is different from the ferocity of most pagan conflicts, until recently.
- Exodus Mandate’s “Call to Dunkirk” Asks Christian Parents To Obey God, Get Christian Children Out Of Caesar’s Schools, Give Them Christian Education Exodus Mandate Project is a Christian ministry to encourage and assist Christian families to leave government schools for the Promised Land of Christian schools or home schooling. It is “EM’s” hope that this fresh obedience in educating our children according to Biblical mandates will prove to be the key for revival in our families, churches and nation.
- Government-Run “Public Schools” A Smashing Success — From Satan’s Perspective The following material is about the goals of state-run education: To destroy Christianity and (supposedly) to bring salvation through humanistic schooling. This material is from a tape series by Pastor Steve Wilkins of the Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, Louisiana, titled “America: The First 350 Years.” This tape series can be ordered in MP3 format with lecture notes in pdf files all on one CD for $25.00. Order from: Covenant Publications, 224 Auburn Ave., Monroe, LA 71201.
Non-Christian Education Is Sin, Spiritual Child Abuse To put a child through 15,000 hours of Godless, Christless, Holy Spiritless, no-Bible, non-Christian “education” (K through 12) is sin and ignores what has been said by many of the greatest teachers of the Reformed faith.- Dobson/MacArthur Failure To Call For Withdrawal From “Public Schools” An Uncertain Trumpet, Confusing To Christian Parents MacArthur and Dobson did their best, but ultimately their joint anxiety had to have confused listening parents more than supplying inspiring guidance. The point FOTF was trying to make began, as it should have, with the diagnosis that ours is a nation beset by sin. MacArthur even went so far as to say that God has already abandoned us. At the end of day two, FOTF set about confirming his conclusion with a school story dramatizing that deteriorating public schools prove how much we really do deserve His abandonment.
- Jefferson’s “Wall” Not In Constitution, Misrepresents Constitutional Principles In Many Different Ways “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Many Americans believe that these 16 words from the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment built a “wall of separation” between church and state. The media, academics, and even the U.S. Supreme Court frequently reinforce this notion.
Paul/Peroutka Ticket In Montana Gets Biggest State Third Party Vote Given the fact that neither Ron Paul nor I campaigned in Montana but only provided an alternative to ‘lesser of two evils’ voting, I think the result in Montana is a strong statement that the American people are waking up to see that both major parties have abandoned the American cause, the American dream, and the American View of law and government. Indeed, they have forsaken American values and principles and are sinking in a socialist and humanist swamp.
Little Lanes and Wide Open Spaces At its widest part this elegant little street is only about a dozen feet wide. “Peroutkova” is the name of this little lane that connects two public squares in the old town section of Brno, Czech Republic. We are thrilled to find this little byway that bears our family name and I can’t stop taking about a million pictures of my daughter, Beth, and my cousin, Neil, as I try to capture just about every view I possibly can of the street — the doorways - the shop windows - and the business marquees.
