Truth Under Assault

During the coming celebration of President Obama's first 100 days we will certainly witness a strained attempt at placing positive value on the following achievements. (These are not in any particular order, however the cumulative effect is the same.We are witnessing a deliberate attempt at moving our culture, its politics, religion and economics as far left as possible in as little time as possible) Obama and friends first 100 days: • remove the world wide abortion funding ban, allowing the use of federal funds for promoting the killing of un-born children around the world • lifts restrictions on un-born children embryonic stem cell research • currently attempting to rescind the Bush Rule on Conscience for Health Care Providers – increasing pressure on health care providers to violate their moral convictions with regard to killing un-born children • ignoring and denying the foundational Judeo-Christian principles of this nati

Why Choose?

National papers reported on recent objections made by atheist concerning a Nativity scene at a public display in Olympia, Washington. Dan Barker,who heads up the atheist and agnostic Freedom From Religion Foundation, said “If there can be a Nativity scene saying that we are all going to hell if we don’t bow down to Jesus, we should be at the table to share our views.” In Dan's view the choice appears to be bow to Jesus or you will go to hell.

It is unlikely that we can maintain this form of government unless we can restore the collective conscience of Americans to where it once was. N
