Alert: Obama Threatens Keyes and other Eligibility Plaintiffs

This is message from Alan Keyes about how Barack Obama is targeting for destruction those who seek the truth about his birth records.  Read it, and then please spread the word.

Thought for Today

As many of you know, I am party to one of the lawsuits seeking evidence that would help to establish, one way or the other, whether Obama in fact meets the U.S. Constitution's eligibility requirements for the office of President of the United States. To understand my view of the critical issues involved see the WND articles The End of the Constitutional Republic, and Obama, Oaths and the End of Constitutional Government.) Now Obama's lawyers have filed a motion to quash our effort to obtain the relevant documents (cf. Bob Unruh's WND article Sanctions sought in eligibility case.) I am told that it includes a demand that monetary penalties be assessed against me and the other plaintiffs in the suit. Though not unexpected, this motion confirms Obama's ruthless determination to destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires. Why should they demand penalties against citizens who are simply seeking the enforcement of the Supreme Law of the Land? It is simply because their persistence runs contrary to the will of a supposedly popular demagogue? This smacks of tyrannical arrogance. That Obama thus signals his intent to bring financial ruin on those who won't accept his cover-up of the circumstances of his birth is a tactical escalation. It confirms the common sense suspicion that he won't act forthrightly in this matter because he has something to hide.

Founder of TV Station Designed to Portray Moslems Positively Murders Wife

By Selwyn Duke

Upstate New York -- a picturesque, bucolic area -- just isn't what it used to be.  First, I learned that nestled in the verdant heart of my home state's rural better three-quarters is terrorist training center Islamberg.  Now, out of Buffalo, NY, comes news that a 44-year-old Pakistani businessman named Muzzammil Hassan has just been charged with murder.  He killed his wife after she filed for divorce.  And here's the $64,000 question: Can anyone guess what method Hassan used?  Writes The Buffalo News:

Defending the Pope

By Selwyn Duke

Pope Benedict XVI has found himself in a maelstrom of controversy over his lifting of the excommunication of Richard Williamson, an illegally-consecrated prelate who has downplayed the magnitude of the Holocaust.  The Pope has been scored by the media, certain Jewish groups and even some fellow Catholics, yet few truly understand what they’re criticizing.  Let’s examine the matter.

Media Bias Against Traditional Values

By Selwyn Duke

We’re used to seeing quarterbacks pummeled at the Super Bowl, but this year something else was sacked: a pro-life message featuring Barack Obama. Although NBC had originally agreed to run the commercial, it subsequently balked, stating that it wasn’t going to air advocacy ads.

The Threat of Islam
This is a video that seeks to demonstrate the consequences of allowing Islam to make inroads into a nation. It presents examples of civilizations whose populations are some percent Moslem (e.g., 5, 10, 25, 50 percent) and the social effects associated with each percentage. A critic could accuse it of being long on drama and short on explanations, but, nevertheless, it's an effective and, I think, an essentially accurate presentation.

I do have to fault the video's producer for having only shallow philosophical understanding, however. The narrator states that Islam is not a religion, that instead it is a way of life. But this is in fact a definition of any complete religion. If you understand the Truth, you'll realize that a person who believes he knows it will understand that you cannot compartmentalize Truth. You cannot say, "I'll be a Christian in church on Sundays but not when I do business." In fact, anyone who understands Christianity deeply will realize that it addresses much of what Islam does; it just prescribes different behavior.

Also understand that the elements of society mentioned in the video have to be organized and governed by some values. Call them Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, secular or Fig Newton values, but they are values nonetheless. And, at the end of the day, the distinction between "religious" and "secular" is largely a false one. For there really are only two kinds of ideas: True ones and untrue ones. If God exists, than the idea that He does is true, and that is the only thing that matters. And if an ideology is invalid, such as communism, calling it secular doesn't in any way mitigate its invalidity.

Anyway, I can't do this subject justice here, but suffice it to say that the problem with Islam isn't that it's a way of life. It's that it is a relatively dark way of life -- much like secularism.

United Nations Pact Could Strip Away Parental Rights

By Selwyn Duke

If the United States ratifies the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), parents could be prohibited from homeschooling, spanking or even choosing the religion of their child.

If you’ve ever had to deal with a child-protective-services agency in a more statist part of the country, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. Living where I do, for example, within the gravitational pull of Den of Iniquity #2 (NYC), I could relate some grapevine horror stories about social-worker home invasions that would make your head spin. And here is just one little anecdote: I had an acquaintance whose 13-year-old son was required to strip down for social workers so they could examine him after it was discovered he might have suffered a scratch while being restrained by a family member.

Oldie but Goodie: Modern Man and the Wrath of God

By Selwyn Duke

Whether or not you believe in the wrath of God, there is no question that the wrath of the ungodly left is often on full display.  As for the latter, evangelist Pat Robertson got quite a liberal dose of it recently.  The founder of the 700 Club was placed in the crosshairs for suggesting that Ariel Sharon’s stroke may be the result of his division of Israel, an imprudent act incurring the wrath of God (Taking a gander at Sharon, it seems more like the wrath of Twinkies).

Guest Piece: The Descent of Darwinism

By Bruce Walker

Darwin was born two hundred years ago this month.  A serious and decent man, Darwin’s name has become connected with modern Darwinism. Today the Theory of Evolution of Species by Natural Selection has been mystically elevated from a “Theory” into a “Law,” which it is not.  As a working theory, evolution by natural selection serves an important scientific purpose.  The Ptolemaic Theory of the revolution of heavenly bodies around the Earth also served an important scientific purpose.  Both, at the time these theories were proposed, did a fairly good job of explaining how nature works.   

Another "Obama Youth" Video This is a video of middle-school youths dressed military-style and chanting in honor of Barack Obama. To be fair, I'll point out that the incident was orchestrated by a teacher and was not part of any official program. In fact, it was in violation of school policy, and supposedly the teacher was going to be disciplined for it (I wouldn't bet my life that he received more than a slap on the wrist. The story is here). Nevertheless, it is indicative of the kind of mentality that exists among Obama's supporters. And it has to make one conclude that it wouldn't be very difficult to organize millions of such youths into paramilitary units all supremely loyal to the president.

Also, the boys are chanting "Alpha, omega, alpha, omega!" Now, given that Jesus said that He was the Alpha and the Omega -- it is a description of God -- this has to give one pause for thought. After all, Obama has been hailed as a savior by his fawning minions and does seem to have a bit of a God complex. It's entirely possible, of course, that this is the name of the students' fraternity (the boys are supposedly part of one), but that is just a guess. Whatever the case, it does warrant an explanation.

Black Official Wants Test Made Easier for Blacks; Likens Blacks to Athletes, Not Students

By Selwyn Duke

What do you think of this reasoning: If a given group doesn't perform as well as other groups on a test, then the exam is by definition discriminatory and should be discarded?  This is the rationale that was applied to police-department exams in the 1970s in a bizarre application of government civil-rights legislation.  It was part of a social-engineering effort to get more women and minorities on police forces and is why we now have a diversity within the ranks that has given us, among other things, miniature cops.  I'm not even kidding.  Some years ago in New York City I saw a 12-year-old girl going to a costume party dressed as a police officer.  Or at least I thought I did, until I got closer and realized she was a member of New York's, uh, Finest.
