PRESIDENCY

OBAMA DROPS THE CREATOR – In a little more than one month President Barack Obama has misquoted the Declaration of Independence three times, and each time he has deliberately deleted the “Creator.” On October 18th Obama said, “As wonderful as this land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire and said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed … with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'” Where the three dots appear Obama deleted the words, “by their Creator.” The same thing happend on September 23 at a Democrat fundraiser in New York City. All three times Obama was reading from a teleprompter so this was no accidental omission. See video of September 15th incident.

THE CONGRESS

CONGRESS ADJOURNED – The House and Senate have now both officially adjourned until after the November 2nd election.

WHO IS BIGGEST ELECTION DONOR? – This should not be a surprise. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which has 1.6 million members, is spending a total of $87.5 million on the November 2nd election. They are so desperate to keep Democrats in office that they have tapped their ’emergency account for $16 million and borrowed another $2 million. The union is spending the money on television advertisements, phone calls, campaign mailings and other efforts. Indeed the AFSCME is spending far more than the Chamber of Commerce which has been targeted by President Obama as being an evil outside organization trying to affect the election outcome.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

JUDGE ROBERT BORK – On Wednesday of this week I was privileged to attend an Alliance Defense Fund awards breakfast in which Judge Robert Bork received the Edwin Meese award for his faithful struggle in the cause of originalism. As a law professor and a judge his writings pointed to the fact that judges free of originalism could interpret the Constitution as they pleased and render any verdicts to fit their personal agendas. Bork may have been unjustly refused a seat on the Supreme Court, but he opened a discourse on the Constitution that continues today.

NPR FIRES JUAN WILLIAMS – I don’t always agree with liberal news commentator Juan Williams, but I do admire the fact that he is logical and sticks with issues rather than personal attacks as do most other liberal commentators. Apparently he is too logical for the publicly funded National Public Radio (NPR) which fired him this week. He was fired for saying that being on airline flights with Muslims who deliberately identify themselves by dressing up in Muslim garb makes him nervous. On the other hand an NPR commentator who wished AIDS on the children of a conservative Senator is welcome at NPR. The reality is that NPR fired Juan Williams after getting a donation of $1.8 million dollars from George Soros to “investigate” conservative journalists on Fox News. Juan Williams is a frequent liberal commentator on Fox. While Soros’ desire to harm the Fox Network was the main reason behind the firing of Juan Williams I am sure that an e-mail campaign by a Muslim group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood helped as well.

NO 911 MOSQUE!

SAUDI PRINCE DUMPS RAUF The New York Times reported this week that Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal is now against the Ground Zero mosque. Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has long supported financially Feisal Abdul Rauf, the alledged “spiritual guide” of the Ground Zero mosque. He has donated more than $200,000 to Rauf’s American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA). Alwaleed told the Times, “I am not for putting a mosque there.” He gave two reasons, first that he thinks the construction would offend the families of 9/11 victims and second that it is near a strip club that would offend Muslims as they went to pray there.

INTERNATIONAL

MUSLIMS BOMB BUS IN PHILIPPINES – Ten people have died and fifty were injured when Muslims exploded a bomb on a bus in a rural area of the southern Philippines. Muslim gangs there have threatened to plant bombs to extort funds from Christians. The wounded were brought to hospitals in North Cotabato province. In the last month Muslims have attacked innocent civilians in other areas of the Pacific including Thailand and China.

CHURCH ATTACKED IN PAKISTAN – More than ten armed Muslims attacked and vandalized a Church next to the Gordon College in Rawalpindi October 20th. The pastor and his family were tied up while Muslims desecrated Holy Bibles and threw away Hymn Books. The chapel of the college itself was similarly attacked in 2009.

THREE THINGS ABOUT ISLAM – We are now streaming the English version of “Three Things About Islam” which was originally produced in the Netherlands. This is a must see for anyone who has questions about the core of Islamic beliefs. View here!
