Secular TV show star known as Bill Nye "the science guy" recently slammed the creation by God account of Genesis. And attempted to brain wash children by asserting that evolution was true. Of course many of us know evolution is simply a made up lie. But his message is a dangerous one for those who have not heard about how God created in 6 literal days.
Ken Ham of Answers In Genesis who by the way is a great Christian leader and a brilliant man responded to Bill Nye's anti-creation rant.
Well following Mr. Ham's response the wicked lost souls out there who deny God and creation by God attacked the Facebook page of some of Hams colleagues. Really pathetic when you stop to think about it.
TWAU BLOG stands with Ken Ham and Answers In Genesis. (www.AnswersInGenesis.org)
Parents must take the active role in their kids education. Teach them from a young age that evolution is a made up lie. Millions of years is a made up lie. The Bible says to train your children up in the way they should go. Don't let the secular humanists train them for you.
Below is Ken Ham's response to the hateful attacks that came after his response to Nye...
Those who say evolution is true really have to resort to name calling as their only defence. Because their is no scientific proof that evolution exists. Real operational science that can be observed and tested confirms the Bible. Learn more about this doctrine of demons known as evolution by visiting the Answers In Genesis web site.

I'll be honest
I'm disgusted that some people will vote for Obama just because he's black. I know the black community believes Obama somehow elevates their ethnic group by being in office. But most of them have no idea what his policies are or how evil his policies are.
The fact is Obama's skin colour is black but he has more ties to middle eastern descent than he does to Africa. There is a Youtube video out there of the Howard Stern show, where he did a test on blacks from Compton back in 2008. look it up: just type Harlem voters Howard Stern. It's scary that people like this exist.
Then you have those type of people who will vote for Obama simply because he supports sin. The homosexual community will vote for Obama no matter what as long as he advocates their sin. The same goes with abortion agenda pushers. It's really sad. America is in a sad sad state my friends. And the only way to fix this is to come out in force at election time and to vote Romney! Every single voter needs to get out and either vote in person or vote by mail. But vote!
It's time to stand up and proclaim that America is still just a Christian nation! And that Islam won't be tolerated, nor will sin! And let's send the terrorist loving usurper packing this November!

AP INTERVIEW: AHMADINEJAD PUSHES NEW WORLD ORDER
NEW YORK (AP) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that a new world order needs to emerge, away from years of what he called American bullying and domination.
Ahmadinejad spoke to The Associated Press in a wide-ranging interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly - his last as president of Iran. He was to address the assembly Wednesday morning.
The Iranian leader also discussed solutions for the Syrian civil war, dismissed the question of Iran's nuclear ambition and claimed that despite Western sanctions his country is better off than it was when he took office in 2005.
"God willing, a new order will come together and we'll do away with everything that distances us," Ahmadinejad said, speaking through a translator. "I do believe the system of empires has reached the end of the road. The world can no longer see an emperor commanding it."
"Now even elementary school kids throughout the world have understood that the United States government is following an international policy of bullying," he said.

My friends, this guy and Obama as well as many other liberals are all wanting the same thing. A one world government. We must do everything we can to resist and oppose such a notion.
They are trying to do everything they can to enact a new world order. If they succeed then all will be lost and a wicked world order will enslave everyone and the mark of the beast will be presented.
The first step to slowing down this process is voting Obama out. Vote for Romney this November!

Millions of Students Gather to Pray: Annual See You At The Pole Gathering
September 25, 2012
The First Amendment guarantees students the right to pray on school grounds. During any noninstructional time—before or after school, in between classes, during the lunch hour, or on the playing field—students may express their opinions verbally or in writing. Prayer is a form of speech, and therefore during noninstructional time, students have the constitutional right to pray individually or in groups.
Liberty Counsel will provide education and, if necessary, legal representation to make sure that youth all over America will be able to gather at the annual See You At The Pole event. If students, parents, teachers, or school administrators have questions or experience trouble about student-initiated prayer in public school, they should contact Liberty Counsel at 1-800-671-1776.

America is in jeopardy folks, and we need every last American to get out and vote this year. And we need them to vote for Romney. Either in person or vote by mail, we need every last person to submit their vote. Don't expect everyone else to do it. We all need to do our part.

American patriots standing up for the RED, WHITE, and BLUE!
When we get rid of this Islam Friendly traitor for a president some of this Islamic Boldness and nonsense will stop! Go Romney! go Patriots!
Sherrie Herter
American patriots took this terrorist loving idiot's Palestinian flag and tore it up. What a goof to think he could raise the flag of terrorists at a Mitt Romney rally.
It's these kind of brave patriots that make America strong. They didn't hurt the lame-brain. Just took the disgusting flag down and told him he wasn't allowed to fly it there. Good job brothers. The Islamic actions that have been so bold lately will cease once we get the Muslim loving Obama out of office in November.
We all must vote Romney to change this. All of us!

What a day!
Today I took a family member to the DMV to take their drive test. While the driving instructor was doing the vehicle inspection she noticed my car's brake lights were out. So my family member was extremely disappointed, as she was waiting for so long to take the drive test. I trained her and believe she was totally ready to pass the test.
So the instructor was very nice and told my student that this isn't a failure its a cancellation. So I got the brake lights fixed as soon as we left the DMV and rescheduled her an appointment. I assured her that I'm confident she will pass the test. Anyone else ever have any bad days at the DMV? Let us know in the comments below...

Health tip from Lou
Steer clear of soda. Diet and regular soda is very bad for your health. You can click here for a related article.
I have recently given up soda all together. No regular or diet soda's. And I must admit it's proving to be harder than I thought. But I'm sticking to it. All day long for the past few days I have been yearning for a soda.
And no amount of bottle waters quenches my thirst. I'm guessing because it's not thirst at all, but addiction.
So, I'll keep you all updated on my progress. I'm not giving up. And if you are a soda drinker, I know you can stop too. Do it for your health.
Sincerely
Lou

Islamic muslim captured in terror sceme
'Jihad' teen charged with trying to blow up Chicago bar
CHICAGO — Undercover FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old American man who tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, federal prosecutors said Saturday.
Adel Daoud, a U.S. citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, was arrested Friday night in an undercover operation in which agents pretending to be terrorists provided him with a phony car bomb.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago, which announced the arrest Saturday, said the device was harmless and the public was never at risk.
Daoud is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive.
Someone who answered a call to Daoud's home in Hillside on Saturday who said her name was Hiba and that she was Daoud's sister declined to discuss Daoud, the family or the arrest.
"We don't even know anything. We don't know that much. We know as little as you do," she said. "They're just accusations."
"We'd like to be left alone," she said.
The FBI began monitoring Daoud after he posted material online about violent jihad and the killing of Americans, federal prosecutors said.
In May, two undercover FBI agents contacted Daoud in response to the postings and exchanged several electronic messages with him in which he expressed an interest in engaging in violent jihad in the United States or abroad, according to an affidavit by an FBI special agent.
Prosecutors say that after being introduced to an undercover FBI agent who claimed to be a terrorist living in New York, Daoud set about identifying 29 potential targets, including military recruiting centers, bars, malls and tourist attractions in Chicago.
Shortly after 7 p.m. Friday, Daoud met in the suburb of Villa Park with the undercover agent who claimed to be from New York, and the two drove to downtown Chicago, where the restaurants and bars were packed with workers ringing in the weekend on a pleasantly warm evening. According to the affidavit, they entered a parking lot where a Jeep Cherokee containing the phony bomb was parked.
Daoud drove the vehicle and parked in front of a bar that was among the pre-selected targets, then walked a block away and attempted to detonate the device by pressing a triggering mechanism in the presence of the agent, according to the affidavit. He was then arrested.

Anti-US Violence Spreads in Mideast
Apparently a film-maker here in the states made a film about Islam. And now the idiotic terrorist's in the middle east have attacked Americans based in Egypt. They killed an American ambassador. By all definitions this attack is a declaration of war on the US. However Obama decided to respond to the attack by condemning the film-maker and apologizing to the terrorists.

We are outraged and all of America should be!
Below is a message from governor Mike Huckabee...
I’m outraged today. On a day when Americans were remembering the cold-blooded murder of 3000 of our fellow citizens on 9-11 at the hands of radical Islamo-Facists, a mob of radical Muslims attacked our embassies in Cairo and in Libya, killing the ambassador Christopher Stevens, and burning our flag in Cairo. And were these monstrous and animal attacks because the US government had killed innocent citizens or tortured children? No—it was because a filmmaker made a movie about Islam that supposedly insulted Mohammed. And the original response from the US embassy? Apologize to these savages and condemn the filmmaker—a statement that the White House later walked back with a tepid comment to stem the outrage from Americans who may think the movie was tasteless, but who still value something that radical Muslims don’t—freedom!
Lou Buren of TWAU BLOG: I'm disgusted at the US embassy and the Obama administration for their weak response to the terrorist actions. If president George W. Bush were still in office these scumbags would never have been bold enough to do something like this. but they know our current usurper in office is very weak so they are taking advantage. Bush would have publicly stated in an address to the nation why were about to go kick their ass, and then he would do just that. I sure do miss Bush.

The clear picture on the liberals
Some people like to say they think God has no place in politics. Well, I believe God has a place in all things. Because he is our God. He owns us. And is the creator of all.
At the DNC Democratic national convention some major booing happened when they said they were going to place God and the mention of him back into the platform. The wicked liberal delegates booed and jeered at the idea. Now remember, the DNC originally struck God and any mention of him from their platform and only decided to put him back in after drawing much criticism.
But the whole thing to me just paints a very clear picture on liberals. They are very wicked and hate God and any mention of him. They love the dark and hate the light. I think it's clear what America must do. Vote Obama out of office this November. God bless you all, and God bless America.

DARPA unveils robotic mule
Today, the U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) released an exciting and unusual video of its latest robotic creation: a mule-like device that gracefully and quietly walks over rugged terrain.
Officially named the Legged Squad Support System (LS3), the walking “pack mule” prototype was designed to show that “a legged robot can unburden dismounted squad members by carrying their gear, autonomously following them through rugged terrain, and interpreting verbal and visual commands,” according to the DARPA website.
“We’ve refined the LS3 platform and have begun field-testing against requirements of the Marine Corps,” said Army Lt. Col. Joe Hitt, DARPA program manager. “The vision for LS3 is to combine the capabilities of a pack mule with the intelligence of a trained animal.”
The LS3 is able to rapidly change speeds based on squad commands. It can maintain a walking speed of 1 to 3 mph over rough terrain, transition to a 5-mph “jog” and run up to 7 mph over flatter, less demanding surfaces.
Still, as impressive as the new prototype is, viewers might also find it a bit unsettling. After all, what you’re viewing is essentially a headless mule trotting through the forest of its own volition. And the LS3 even has the ability to pick itself up should it fall down.
“The LS3 has demonstrated it is very stable on its legs, but if it should tip over for some reason, it can automatically right itself, stand up and carry on,” Hitt said. “LS3 also has the ability to follow a human leader and track members of a squad in forested terrain and high brush.”
Earlier this year, DARPA unveiled an earlier version of the LS3 prototype. But this newer version is supposed to be both more perceptive to its environment and quieter, reducing the risk of detection from hostile forces.
“LS3 is now roughly 10 times quieter than when the platform first came online, so squad members can carry on a conversation right next to it, which was difficult before,” Hitt said.

Response to a comment made to me
I posted a video featuring governor Mike Huckabee on my YouTube channel, and someone left a comment on it that said: "He supports war and the death penalty. That for me suggests an inconsistency when it comes to his pro-life position. "
My response to that is: How do you figure? No one wants war, You, Me or Mike Huckabee. But our freedom and our nation is certainly worth fighting for and worth fighting to keep. It's just plain common sense to realise and understand that we sometimes must fight. That's the same stance Huckabee holds to.
As far as the death penalty goes, I support that too. And so should every American. The difference is unborn babies did nothing to warrant death. They are innocent. Criminals however have done something evil enough to be issued a death sentence. Do you see the difference? Innocent, and not innocent. Pretty simple.
So, this fella on my youtube channel who I might add shares the same illogical views as many liberal democrats and parolees is way off on his thinking.
I welcome any feedback...

NEW BLACK PANTHERS AT VOTING BOOTHS AGAIN?
Group accused of intimidating white voters with racial slurs, billy clubs
WASHINGTON – Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party, stated today in a radio interview that his controversial group may deploy at voting booths in the November presidential elections, claiming such a move is needed to ensure there is no “intimidation against our people.”
The NBPP was the focus of national attention after Eric Holder’s Department of Justice dismissed voter intimidation charges against the groups leaders related to the 2008 presidential election.
During an interview on WABC Radio’s “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” Shabaz was asked whether his group is planning to go to U.S. polling stations in the upcoming presidential election.
Shabazz replied: “I will say that as this election comes up in November, we will consider our options. And we will consider the fact whether we will legally and lawfully go to the polls again to make sure there is no intimidation against our people, which was our intent in 2008.”
Klein asked the NBPP leader whether his group is planning to bring batons or billy clubs to any polling stations as they did in 2008.
Lou Buren of TWAU BLOG: Of course they will be there again, trying to scare voters into not voting. But guess what black panthers!! Americans will not be intimidated by your thugs, we will all be there in November to vote your god Obama out of our white house. And you can take that to the bank.

Too bad, ACLU! THE BIBLE'S BACK IN SCHOOL'S!
Once upon a time in America, most public school children – including several future presidents – studied, discussed and even learned to read from the Bible.
A pair of landmark Supreme Court cases in the 1960s, however, put the fear of litigation into school principals, and a new era in education began, where advocates for the “separation of church and state” used the courts to push the Bible out of classrooms.
This foundational divide in U.S. history was only highlighted by Barack Obama’s controversial remark in 2006, “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”
One county in Tennessee, however, has found a way to keep biblical instruction in its public schools – with the blessing of a court decision, the support of the community and in keeping with a tradition that began in 1922.
On Sept. 16, a group of 11 Hamilton County, Tenn., churches – including Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Assemblies of God and more – will meet for the “Hixson Gathering,” a prayer service and fund-raiser for a unique program of elective, for-credit, Bible history classes taught at 20 schools in the county, including the Hixson Middle and High Schools.
With the help of an organization called Bible in the Schools, area residents, like those at the Hixson Gathering, are able to reimburse the Hamilton County Department of Education for certified Bible teachers – hired at no cost to the taxpayers – while dodging the legal tactics of groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
(Both groups are extremely wicked and anti-God)
“The federal courts have affirmed that teaching the Bible in our public schools is a constitutionally protected freedom,” Bible in the Schools asserts. “[And] with all the concern over character, no program is better positioned to touch more students quantitatively or qualitatively.”
“I would love to say ‘thank you’ to the Hixson community for helping us to offer such a wonderful program in our schools,” Hixson Middle School Principal LeAngela Rogers told Tennessee’s Chattanoogan. “The teen years are a time of unprecedented growth socially, physically, emotionally and morally. Bible history classes contribute not only to their academic achievement, but also to character education, as students develop into their own person.”
Ron Phillips, pastor of Abba’s House, one of the churches participating in the joint effort, told the newspaper, “President Andrew Jackson said the Bible ‘is the rock on which our Republic rests.’ No one is truly educated without a knowledge of Scripture.”
The program, which Bible in the Schools told WND it hopes can serve as a model for communities all across the U.S., began in 1922, when local resident Dr. J. Park McCallie first proposed a unique plan in which private citizens in the community would pay for teachers – who would, in turn, be subject to the board of education in scholarship and discipline – to instruct students in the history and language of the Bible. Doctrinal questions, however, would be directed back to the students’ pastors or priests.
The program was accepted and practiced until a court decision in 1979 temporarily stopped it.
On appeal, however, a U.S. District Court decision laid down guidelines for how the program could be reinstated with the court’s blessing and without violating the constitutional concerns that prompted the earlier decision.
McCallie’s idea, somewhat modified, took off again. This year, 20 middle and high schools across Hamilton County will offer Bible history electives to 14,692 students as part of the program.
Bible in the Schools reports that where the study of the Bible is offered in Hamilton County today, nearly 70 percent of all students will elect to take one or more Bible courses before graduating.
“We want our program to be a model for how it can be done,” explained Diane Cropp, development director for Bible in the Schools. “We set up our program, not that we are able to help others actually implement it right now, but what we have done is available for others to see and copy, and we would love to see that happen.”
Cropp told WND the organization’s already extensive website is being built up to clearly illustrate how local churches and citizens have made it work in Hamilton County. She said the organization is also hoping to make the curriculum it is helping to draft available online “so that someone else doesn’t have to start from scratch.”
According to the Bible in the Schools website, several unique factors enable its plan for Bible courses to be offered and taught constitutionally and in accordance with the U.S. District Court’s decision:
*Teachers must be employed and supervised by the county Department of Education.
*Teachers must be certified and have a minimum of 12 semester hours of Bible courses as part of their college education.
*The schools must be reimbursed in full for the teachers’ salaries and benefits by private citizens; there is no cost to the taxpayer.
*Bible courses are elective, offered to middle and senior high students only, and credit is given for their study.
*No religious proselytizing, sectarianism nor denominationalism is permitted in class. Students with doctrinal questions are encouraged to seek out a pastor or rabbi
*The curriculum is court approved.
And even through Hamilton County has had to blaze the trail in developing a unique plan for courses, teacher certification, private funding and so forth, Bible in the Schools asserts it’s critical to quality education.
“So much of the art, music, history, law, culture and moral standards of Western civilization [is] based on the Bible, that to be culturally literate, a truly educated American requires biblical knowledge,” the organization asserts. “When the schools of a nation fail adequately to transmit the literate national language and culture, the unity and effectiveness of the nation will necessarily decline.”
Other efforts to teach the Bible in public school
As Chuck Norris pointed out in a previous WND column, hundreds of school districts and communities across the nation have been looking for a plan like Hamilton County’s to offer classes on biblical history and literacy to public school students.
Some have petitioned local governments; others have sought reform through state legislatures or curriculum boards.
As Norris also pointed out, however, there are also several local and national organizations pushing back, seeking further restrictions on teaching Bible courses in schools.
Norris encouraged readers to consider supporting or even joining a group like the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools.
“Unknown to most, it’s our legal and our constitutional right to be taught the Bible in public schools,” Norris wrote. “I want to help you get a course on it offered in your school district, too.
“Anyone who has studied early American history knows that the Bible has always been embedded throughout our culture, from classrooms to congressional halls,” he continued. “So, what’s stopping you from being the instrument for implementing biblical education in your local school?”

It's about God being removed from our public school systems.
A pair of landmark Supreme Court cases in the 1960s, however, put the fear of litigation into school principals, and a new era in education began, where advocates for the “separation of church and state” used the courts to push the Bible out of classrooms.
This foundational divide in U.S. history was only highlighted by Barack Obama’s controversial remark in 2006, “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”
One county in Tennessee, however, has found a way to keep biblical instruction in its public schools – with the blessing of a court decision, the support of the community and in keeping with a tradition that began in 1922.
On Sept. 16, a group of 11 Hamilton County, Tenn., churches – including Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Assemblies of God and more – will meet for the “Hixson Gathering,” a prayer service and fund-raiser for a unique program of elective, for-credit, Bible history classes taught at 20 schools in the county, including the Hixson Middle and High Schools.
With the help of an organization called Bible in the Schools, area residents, like those at the Hixson Gathering, are able to reimburse the Hamilton County Department of Education for certified Bible teachers – hired at no cost to the taxpayers – while dodging the legal tactics of groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
(Both groups are extremely wicked and anti-God)
“The federal courts have affirmed that teaching the Bible in our public schools is a constitutionally protected freedom,” Bible in the Schools asserts. “[And] with all the concern over character, no program is better positioned to touch more students quantitatively or qualitatively.”
“I would love to say ‘thank you’ to the Hixson community for helping us to offer such a wonderful program in our schools,” Hixson Middle School Principal LeAngela Rogers told Tennessee’s Chattanoogan. “The teen years are a time of unprecedented growth socially, physically, emotionally and morally. Bible history classes contribute not only to their academic achievement, but also to character education, as students develop into their own person.”
Ron Phillips, pastor of Abba’s House, one of the churches participating in the joint effort, told the newspaper, “President Andrew Jackson said the Bible ‘is the rock on which our Republic rests.’ No one is truly educated without a knowledge of Scripture.”
The program, which Bible in the Schools told WND it hopes can serve as a model for communities all across the U.S., began in 1922, when local resident Dr. J. Park McCallie first proposed a unique plan in which private citizens in the community would pay for teachers – who would, in turn, be subject to the board of education in scholarship and discipline – to instruct students in the history and language of the Bible. Doctrinal questions, however, would be directed back to the students’ pastors or priests.
The program was accepted and practiced until a court decision in 1979 temporarily stopped it.
On appeal, however, a U.S. District Court decision laid down guidelines for how the program could be reinstated with the court’s blessing and without violating the constitutional concerns that prompted the earlier decision.
McCallie’s idea, somewhat modified, took off again. This year, 20 middle and high schools across Hamilton County will offer Bible history electives to 14,692 students as part of the program.
Bible in the Schools reports that where the study of the Bible is offered in Hamilton County today, nearly 70 percent of all students will elect to take one or more Bible courses before graduating.
“We want our program to be a model for how it can be done,” explained Diane Cropp, development director for Bible in the Schools. “We set up our program, not that we are able to help others actually implement it right now, but what we have done is available for others to see and copy, and we would love to see that happen.”
Cropp told WND the organization’s already extensive website is being built up to clearly illustrate how local churches and citizens have made it work in Hamilton County. She said the organization is also hoping to make the curriculum it is helping to draft available online “so that someone else doesn’t have to start from scratch.”
According to the Bible in the Schools website, several unique factors enable its plan for Bible courses to be offered and taught constitutionally and in accordance with the U.S. District Court’s decision:
*Teachers must be employed and supervised by the county Department of Education.
*Teachers must be certified and have a minimum of 12 semester hours of Bible courses as part of their college education.
*The schools must be reimbursed in full for the teachers’ salaries and benefits by private citizens; there is no cost to the taxpayer.
*Bible courses are elective, offered to middle and senior high students only, and credit is given for their study.
*No religious proselytizing, sectarianism nor denominationalism is permitted in class. Students with doctrinal questions are encouraged to seek out a pastor or rabbi
*The curriculum is court approved.
And even through Hamilton County has had to blaze the trail in developing a unique plan for courses, teacher certification, private funding and so forth, Bible in the Schools asserts it’s critical to quality education.
“So much of the art, music, history, law, culture and moral standards of Western civilization [is] based on the Bible, that to be culturally literate, a truly educated American requires biblical knowledge,” the organization asserts. “When the schools of a nation fail adequately to transmit the literate national language and culture, the unity and effectiveness of the nation will necessarily decline.”
Other efforts to teach the Bible in public school
As Chuck Norris pointed out in a previous WND column, hundreds of school districts and communities across the nation have been looking for a plan like Hamilton County’s to offer classes on biblical history and literacy to public school students.
Some have petitioned local governments; others have sought reform through state legislatures or curriculum boards.
As Norris also pointed out, however, there are also several local and national organizations pushing back, seeking further restrictions on teaching Bible courses in schools.
Norris encouraged readers to consider supporting or even joining a group like the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools.

Moderate voters need to see this video
This is a stunning thirteen minute video that shows Obama in his own words, with commentary from mostly mainstream media sources. If this video goes viral and reaches moderate and independent voters, it would be a big blow to the Obama re-election bid.
Like I said in the title, if an undecided voter sees this, it’s over for Obama.
The video shows much evidence against Obama. However, I think most Americans have decided they are voting Obama out anyway.
Romney/Ryan 2012!

A comment from my aunt (a democrat)
I was looking around at various postings on Facebook, and noticed a post about Obama. My aunt Marge posted a comment underneath it that read: Health care (I need that), protecting your daughter's right to make her own medical decisions some day, giving her equal pay to a man, and if the republicans who said they would not lift one finger to help while he is in office would grow up and not hate a man for the color of his skin...we might just get more done.
I'de like to address each of her reasons why she thinks Obama is the best choice for president.
1. Healthcare, We have healthcare now. We don't need it to be socialised.
2. As far as daughter's rights to make their medical decisions, daughters have that right currently.
3. Equal pay to a man? There are many women who make much more than many men.
4. Republicans have no issue with Obama's skin colour, it's his terrible policies they have a problem with.
As I remember talking with my aunt Marge I recall her saying she was a Christian and believed in GOD and what the Bible said, then how in good conscience can you support a man who goes against what God's Word teaches? The Bible teaches us that God knit us in our mothers womb, (Life begins at conception) The Bible teaches us that those who live homosexual lifestyles will not inherit God's kingdom. Obama supports both wicked agenda's.

The DNC's true colors are seen.
The DNC originally excluded the mention of God from it's platform. But after drawing criticism they decided to throw his name around a bit. And it caused many to become very angry and start shaking their fists.
Wow, what a divine showing of the true colors of those who support the liberal agenda. The supporters of homosexuality, abortion and all the other sins. These people who call themselves democrats are nothing more than atheists. Nothing more than those who love the dark and avoid light. Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
If this isn't a wake up call for all the world's Christians to come out in force and vote for Romney I don't know what is. Gods name will only anger and upset those who are evil.

Anyone else notice how the DNC removed the Word God from their platform? I mean not one mention of him. It really goes to show that they hate anything to do with God or his laws. Voting for Mitt Romney this year is a must do!

Hello loyal readers, I just wanted to lay out some recent happenings for you.
Feds close criminal investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
I'm assuming because they know all their accusations are all bogus anyway and they need to focus more on the election issues. Because it's pretty evident that people are planning on showing Obama the door.
'Pray for Obama' sign stirs controversy over Biblical verse
Apparently in Victoria, Texas a billboard with the words (pray for Obama) and a scripture: Psalms 109:8 which reads: "Let his days be few, and let another take his office."
I personally think the sign is great, and I think the message is appropriate. We certainly want someone else to take office. But the secret service with all that spare time on their hands has decided to investigate the billboard.
TV personality Bill “The Science Guy” Nye’s recent tongue-lashing for those who doubt evolution’s theory that sludge advanced itself to become man has drawn a response from renowned evangelist and author Ray Comfort.
Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis also had some words for Bill Deny the sci-fi guy. You can look it up at the AnswersInGenesis.org web site.
