Weekly Brief o3/11/12


Obama confused on earmarks


It's difficult to imagine a politician being less than truthful, but to out right lie, why


that's just un-American. It seems the true American Idol, Barack Obama, has


rescinded his prior ethical stance on ear marks. Earlier, in a debate with Republican


patsy John McCain, Obama insisted that his virtuous administration would examine,


line by line, all bills, ensuring the elimination of wasteful earmarks. Welcome to


Omnibus '09, with over 9000 ear marks! In keeping with the whole, “It's crisis, shut up


and give me your money.” theme, Obama's reason for signing this bill, laden with


more fat than a Big Mac, was he simply didn't want to bog down congress at this


critical juncture. Change anyone?




Connecticut and 1098


A bill that would put important financial decisions beyond the reach of Roman


Catholic bishops , and before the scrutiny of an appointed lay committee, was


temporarily averted yesterday. This attempt by the new secular left should be


enough


to scare us straight. The purpose of this bill was to silence the Catholic Church and


aggressively marginalize their effectiveness for representing biblical opposition to this


growing moral decay, that seems to be digesting our society. For more on this story check out www.osvdailytake.com



I truly believe, when we refer back to this moment in time, it will be defined by:


Bernie Madoff “His associates made off with billions”


OctoMom “Only in this error of you know who, can a woman on welfare birth 8


children, with 6 already waiting in the wings”


Tim Guitner (Tax cheat) “How can a guy with the inability to pay his own taxes, keep


a straight face when telling us to pay ours?”


George Bush “Opened the door to socialism, and invited B. H. O. inside.”

Libya Tortures Four Christian Converts from Islam

Other Christian converts on the run fearing for their lives

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 9, 2009) - International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Libyan intelligence officials have detained and tortured four Christians for converting from Islam. The Christians have been imprisoned for the past seven weeks in Tripoli, Libya's capital.

Libya's External Security Organization is believed to be behind the detention and torture of the Christians, according to our sources. The security agents have barred the families from visiting the detained converts and are putting severe physical and psychological pressure on the Christians in order to force them to reveal the names of other converts. Fearing for their lives, converts from Islam are on the run.

The detention and the torture of the Christian converts come at a critical time in Libya's relations with the international community. The country has been improving its relations with the international community following the lifting of sanctions imposed on it due to its involvement in the bombing of an American airliner in which 270 people were killed.

By torturing the four Christian converts and stifling religious freedom, Libya is once again violating basic principles of the international human rights law.

ICC's Regional Manager for Africa, Jonathan Racho, said,
"We call upon Libyan officials to stop torturing the four Christians and release them from detention. Libya must respect the rights of its citizens to worship freely and not to be tortured. We particularly ask the Libyan leader and the current head of the African Union, Mr. Muammar Gaddafi, to set the prisoners free and demonstrate his country's commitment to respect human rights."

Obama's World

For the traditional Christian in the contemporary world, things may sometimes appear to be rotten. It all to often feels as though we are losing the war, when it's the battle we should be contending with. For those of us who have been guilty of watching on the sidelines, it's rendered us some what paralyzed in frustration. The man who we call President is methodically waging a cultural assault, that if left unchallenged, will be the single greatest detriment to the American soul, ever.
An Obama world is one where are babies will be born slaves to the government, if born at all. Homosexuality will be a civil right that our children will believe was fought for, with the same intention of honor and integrity as that of Martin Luther King's struggle. An Obama world will offer a teen mother an effortless procedure, that may one day haunt her, when she realizes good things in life come from accountability and determination. If left unchallenged, may bare a society that sees men surgically manipulated as woman, raising children who know no moral compass, and who are lost in a collapsing society.
In a recent survey it was discovered that we are less religious, going the way of Europe, and it shouldn't be a surprise, some sold their soul for comfort or self preservation. My church, for the most part has a “Hey, what can we do about it” state of mind. What am I going to do about it? I am devoting myself to my new project, C.A.S.T. A, Christians Against Socialist Tyranny in America. We will some day feel the persecution we read about. I all to often find myself consumed by the struggles of my day to day, and I sometimes forget Jesus is there to help me up when I fall, he loves me. It's easy to get wrapped up in the “It's all about me.”, but if I can dedicate myself towards making a change, I will ultimately have a better quality of life, and so will you.
