Ridiculous Rev Rick Ranting Post Election

I was so amazed when I read this yesterday that I wasted an hour of my life responding to Rev. Rick. Then I realized that some people can not be helped. He states near the end that he will continue his battle until either (a) the big Rapture Day Event or (b) his death. It seems rather UNchristian to pray for this crazy Rapture Day considering I am going to supposedly be "Left Out" and all, doesn't it?

Most folks do not have a good understanding of how mean spirited and narrow minded these right win extremist preachers are or how much influence they have in our country. They are not moral, and not the majority. Out them. Expose their hypocracy!

Rick Scarborough Special Report - Decision 2006

After spending all day Wednesday, reflecting on the outcomes of the elections Tuesday, I have decided to devote this edition of the Rick Scarborough Report to sharing what the Lord has spoken to me. Hopefully what I have to say will offer some encouragement as well as provide a stimulus for greater engagement in this battle for the soul of America.

First, let me say, I went to bed early Tuesday night and slept soundly. That may sound odd, but by 9PM it was apparent to me that voters were in a mood to rebuke the Republican Party for her failure to keep her promises, and my assumption was that in the two states where we invested so much time, resources and energy, we likely would fall short on the values issues we had worked for, so I cut the light out and went to bed.

Why? You ask. Because I have learned that the work is ours to do; the results belong to God. I once heard Adrian Rogers say that the reward for unrighteous living is unrighteous leaders, and that is exactly what God seems to be giving us for this time. We must always remember that God is still sovereign, He is still in control and His will cannot be thwarted.

I have no doubt that the Democratically controlled Congress will be more faithful to their Party’s platform and key constituent groups than the Republican Party has been to theirs. There will be no consensus building and outreach efforts when San Francisco Representative, Speaker Pelosi takes control of committee assignments.

When Republicans Act Like Democrats They Lose

When I consider that after 12 years of Republican control of the U.S. House and six years of the Party of Values controlling all three branches of government, that we still have uncontrolled immigration, cannot define marriage as being between a man and woman, allow abortion on demand through the ninth month, and face spiraling deficits while government has grown more than when the Democrats were in office, I get angry inside. As my good friend, Pastor Ken Hutchinson has said, "When Democrats act like Republicans, they win; When Republicans act like Democrats, they lose."

The bottom line is this: Today, both parties have closed their ears to the millions of us Americans who still believe the Bible is relevant and that the Constitution should be upheld. We believe that healthy families produce the best citizens; that children prosper and mature best with a daddy and a mommy in the home who are committed to each other and to their children; that protecting the most innocent and helpless in our midst is the primary role of government; that strong national defense and secure borders are a prerequisite to freedom; and that freedom is a gift of God, not government. And finally, government which governs least governs best.

It is amazingly revealing that in every state except possibly one (Arizona is still in the process of counting votes) where a Defense of Marriage Amendment has been proposed, it has passed with overwhelming popular support from both sides of the political divide. Yet Republican candidates often run from the issue, and the duly elected Representatives of the people cannot muster enough votes for a simple majority on the issue, let alone the necessary majority for a Federal Constitutional Amendment when debating it just before every election cycle. George Allen would be the Senator from Virginia and the Senate would still be controlled by Republicans if he, like the majority of citizens of his state, had come out against gay marriage.

So much for confirming one or two more conservative Supreme Court justices during the Bush Presidency!

Values Voters in America Have Been Betrayed

Values Voters in America have been betrayed and we stand on the precipice of grave judgment if America does not repent. Radical Islam may be the tool that God uses to perfect His judgment upon a nation that began with such hope for the world, but one which has squandered it all in one generation of self indulgence. There is increasing public awareness of how radical Islam is preparing for all out Jihad on American soil.

Two state referendums failed on Tuesday which bode ill for the Nation. First, in Missouri, the people voted by the slimmest of margins to ratify a Constitutional Amendment which allows scientists to clone human embryos for the express purpose of extracting stem cells while destroying human life at the earliest stages of development. In effect, Missouri has the first Constitutional amendment in the history of America which mandates an abortion as the Amendment demands that the embryo be destroyed or frozen by the 14th day.

In South Dakota, the citizens overturned the courageous legislation of their legislators who passed a comprehensive abortion ban which surely would have ended up in the Supreme Court, giving us the best chance in 33 years to overturn Roe v. Wade. In both states, the pro-death forces, fully understanding the implications of both referendums, poured almost endless resources touting their side as being compassionate and caring…and the people bought it.

Death Prevails in America

So death prevails in America. The most innocent among us are now in jeopardy, while the Church sleeps on. This is not unusual, it has been going on for more than fifty years…but the stakes are now exponentially higher. Why? Because for the first time, it wasn’t JUDGES MANDATING IT BUT RATHER IT WAS VOTED ON BY THE PEOPLE…AND THE CHURCH STOOD BY AND LET IT HAPPEN!!!!

Pastors are truly the moral leaders of our nation. If they don’t lead their flocks to political involvement, what hope is there for society to benefit from Christian "salt and light?" As we all know, too many Pastors and Christians have been passive and caught in the sins of Sodom "arrogant, overfed and unconcerned."

Yet, there are bright lights and much great work has been done!

We saw Catholic Priests and Baptist pastors fight mightily together in Missouri and we can be heartened by this. Yet, we have a stark reminder that Christians are not "one" issue voters and felt betrayed by the Republicans failure to keep their promises. Perhaps good can come from this as Christians made clear they are loyal to Christian issues and not a party. If neither party supports our issues, how can we support them? While we know the pro-life Democrat is a rare person indeed, we must keep a clear line of who we are serving. Perhaps this is the pain the Republican Party needed to decide if they want to truly keep past promises to evangelicals as we head into 2008. We pray God raises up true Christian candidates for that election.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Back to work. Though I believe the hour is late, I do not believe it is too late. Though I believe the odds are stacked against us, I believe that God by Himself is a majority, and though without Him we can do nothing, with Him we can do all things for Christ gives us our strength. (Philippians 4:13).

It is entirely possible that to have liberal values being pushed on our nation by Congress for the next two years may be the best thing that could happen, although a very hard lesson for us to go through. It will show people a stark difference between conservative values and liberal values, and should motivate values voters to show up in even greater numbers the next time we have the God-given privilege to select our leaders again.

I have to add that even with a loss we won. The coalition that came together in the states we were in was across denominational lines, and unlike anything that has come together before. And it wasn’t a group coming together that was just putting up with each other because of the issue; it was a like-minded, like-hearted group that walked in love with each other. Even though we lost, we won.

We must continue to work while there is still daylight, for the night time is coming when no man can work, and I remind us all that right after the crucifixion of our Lord, while His disciples were cringing in fear, thinking all was lost, He rose from the dead and defeated sin, sickness and the grave!

As long as Jesus is real in one heart, there is hope. "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness!" Who knows but that God is ready to give our nation a genuine revival if we remain vigilant and faithful. Til Jesus comes or I die, I intend to press on.

God's Word Speaks To Us Today

God spoke to my heart through His infallible Word on Wednesday. I went to the woods, shortly before dawn, with my Bible and my journal. As I watched a gorgeous sunrise over deep East Texas, Psalm 37 jumped off the page. A portion of it reads:

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for they will soon wither and like green plants they will die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your ways to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways and when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it only leads to evil.
For wicked men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land;
Psalm 37:1-9

Thank you, for standing with us.

I am…your friend,

Death of Values Voters

Good Riddance!

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?pid=136830

excerpt from thenation.com

"Since the New Jersey Supreme Court issued its ruling on same-sex unions, Bush and the religious right have amped up their gay-baiting rhetoric in a last ditch effort to turn out so-called values voters. On the stump in Missouri and Montana -- where polls show Democrats Claire McCaskill and Jon Tester in dead heats with their GOP opponents -- Bush once again raised the specter of "activist judges." Of course, the Haggard scandal threatens to puncture these desperate measures, but even before Pastor Ted's sex, drugs and voicemail indiscretions surfaced, all signs indicated that anti-gay marriage measures have failed to motivate vaunted values voters.

I've been speaking with organizers in the eight states (WI, CO, AZ, SD, VA, TN, SC, ID) where defense of marriage amendments are on the ballot. You'll find a partial report below. I'll update this post with more state dispatches, so check back again.

A few broad patterns have become clear. First, the New Jersey decision has had little impact on state campaigns; the right-wing has ticked up its rhetoric, but there's no discernible shift in polls or mood at the state level. Second, marriage amendments will have little impact on top of the ticket races, which have been focused on either the Iraq War or locally hot issues like immigration (AZ) or abortion (SD). Third, even GOP candidates and right-wing activists have shied away from emphasizing their support of marriage amendments; it's in their arsenal but not their best weapon. Finally, 2006 may be a watershed year. A set of smart, scrappy, grassroots campaigns are poised to make history, becoming the first to defeat anti-gay marriage amendments at the voting booth.

Raising Arizona

On election day Arizonans will vote on Prop. 107, the "Protect Marriage Arizona Amendment." Modeled after far-reaching bans like Ohio's, Prop. 107 would not only define marriage as a "union between one man and one woman," but also bar the state from recognizing any status that is "similar to that of marriage" (civil unions, domestic partnerships and reciprocal beneficiaries). For over a year polls have consistently predicted that Prop. 107 would fail, and although numbers have tightened -- the most recent polls still tip against the amendment but fall within the margin of error -- No on 107 campaign chair Cindy Jordan is optimistic that Arizona will reject the amendment.

This result -- should it occur -- wasn't necessarily preordained. Republicans have dominated state politics since 1950. And while the Grand Canyon state can turn out streaky conservatives like Goldwater, McCain, Kyl and retiring, gay Congressman Jim Kolbe, it's also home to a robust and organized Christian right who've propped up candidates like Congressional nominee Randy Graf and Republican gubernatorial candidate Len Munsil."

Response to Rev. Rick Scarborough's Post Election Analysis

Did all these right wing nutcase preachers have a big conference call and decide to spread the insane notion that Republicans lost the elections en masse this week because they were too liberal and UNGODly?

Might there be a way Rev. Rick where we could knock some sense into your big narrow minded head?
p
Voters overwhelmingly rejected (1)this War that you so adamently support. Voter are sick and tired also of (2)the extremist Christian leadership's assault on America(3) your mean spirited and constant Gospel of Hate speech directed at LGBT people, an(4) your lobbying for legislation we do not neeed in America.

Before you blame Republican leadership or the President for not doing more to further your Hate Agenda and Assault on America, why not head to the nearest mirror and check out a major reason why Democrats are now in charge. I think much of your patriot pastor membership and your value voters coalition have finally started to see you and your group as the hypocrites that you are. The tragic Pastor

Further, why was there such a huge voter turnout of young Americans voting for Democrats this year? Same story. You are not men of God in their eyes, you are the definition of the word Hypocrite. They associate Baptists as homophobic, intolerant,and borderline pathetic.

Republicans were slaughtered this week sir in large part because of the guy you see in the mirror and all and your friends, like father of the year Alan Keyes and James Dobson and Janet Folger and James Kennedy and Pastor Ted and Ralph Reed and Tom Delay and Ms. Delay and Exodus and the AFA and Bishop Wellington and Justice Sunday and WN Otwell and Roy Moore and the Christian Coalition and Fred Phelps and the KKK and the Texas GOP and Jerry Falwell and Pat Roberson, etc etc.

Your Vision for America has been overwhelmingly rejected Rev. Rick Scarborough. Enough is Enough!

Rick Scarborough Special Report - Decision 2006 (clicklinkabove)





Rick Scarborough

All You Values Voters Line Up.

America has a fresh baked cream pie ready for each of you. Mr. Dobson, you stand up front.

Who is Rev. WN Otwellof Mt. Enterprise?

WN Otwell is #2 in the Fred Phelps hate war, a major homophobe, white supremicist nutbag. He is also a friend and neighbor of Rev. Rick Scarborough of Vision America. Scarborough asked Rev. Otwell to attend his Alabama Judge Moore Ten Commandments rally. Otwell was arrested. Read this guys comments on women and blacks and you will be amazed that anyone in the United States could be so stupid and sheltered.

Otwell ran for Governor way back and advocated that all Texas homosexuals be rounded up and sent to one state. Good thing everyone knows what a moron he is -- I would have hated to have been sent to a gay concentration camp by this nutcase friend of Rev. Scarborough. The good news is he has been sick, fat, and old.

Matthew Shepard is in heaven Rev. Otwell, you and Fred Phelps and your pathetic little brainwashed children may not be so lucky.
Racial Terror!



“God Said” MINISTRIES:
NEWS RELEASE
Pastor W.N. Otwell
P.O. Box 369
Mt. Enterprise, TX 75681
903-822-3669
Date: June 16, 1998
Subject: Otwell and members of “God Said” Ministries challenge the New Black Panthers’ violent march in Jasper, TX.

Pastor W.N. Otwell and a group of men from “God Said” Ministries of Mt. Enterprise, Texas will travel to Jasper, Texas on Wednesday, June 17th, to challenge and address the Black Panthers marching with long weapons down the streets of Jasper last Saturday, June 13th. Otwell will hold a news conference at the County Courthouse at 12 Noon.

Otwell will also denounce the heinous and brutal killing of James Byrd, Jr., and give his condolences to the family.

But one of the main reasons for going to Jasper, is to challenge and condemn the Black Panthers’ message of murdering of all whites, and not being challenged by the City, County, State or Federal Governments for such incitement of hatred, mob violence and riot.

He also wants to draw attention to the hypocrisy and double standards used by the public officials toward the white man and the black man. Whereas the white man would never be allowed to express such hate and violence toward blacks and other races, the black man is allowed to spew all manner of hate, bigotry and racism, and to incite violence toward the white man.

If a white man would have stood and said what Khallid Mohammad said, on national news or out in the public, President Clinton, Congress, Janet Reno, the FBI and all the law enforcement agencies would be condemning the white man everywhere, and probably would arrest them,” says Otwell. “Where are our courageous leaders who would dare challenge and address Khallid Mohammad?”

“If I were sheriff of Dallas County (Dallas), Hunt Co. (Greenville), or Jasper Co. (Jasper), or any other county, these terrorists wound not march with high powered weapons, and make their intimidating, terroristic threats without the National Guard surrounding me and stripping me from my elected position, to keep me from stopping them. I would let them know, real quick, that they weren’t the biggest, baddest thing on the block, and that they were subject to the rule of law, just like everyone else. They would not be promoting anarchy at the end of a (gun) barrel,” said Otwell. “There’d be bloodshed before they would be allowed to walk down the streets terrorizing citizens with demonstrations of violence, That goes for the KKK and anyone else, too!”

Pastor Otwell says he has been called a hatemonger, idiot, bigot, narrow-minded, Khadaffi, Jim Jones, Hitler and the devil himself, because he denounces the abortion of the innocent unborn babies, his stand against sodomy, homosexuality, the militant feminist movement and other wickedness. “They are all wicked sins against God, our families and America, and are devastating to our nation’s morals and spiritual well-being,” declares Otwell. “But to allow and to condone Khallid Mohammad and the Black Panthers to continue their crusade to kill all whites and to incite riots, and violence against whites, must be stopped—especially by being allowed to carry long guns down the streets of this nation, especially with a threatening, terrorizing intent.”

“What they are demonstrating is no different than what the three white men did to Byrd. The same violence was in them to do to James Byrd, Jr. The Black Panthers have the same violent attitudes toward whites. These Black Panthers must be stopped, also.”

“What was not said was that one week before this murder, there was the brutal bludgeoning murder of a white man, by a black man with a pipe. But where was the outcry from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Khallid Mohammad, the media the elected officials?”

“Our elected officials, from Gov. George Bush, Sen. Kay Hutchinson, heads of law enforcement agencies, the local mayor and county commissioners, are far more concerned about their political careers and their jobs than they are about their elected duty. They have been elected to uphold the laws that protect our people from the threats of violence, including the inciting of violence from the Black Panthers to kill all whites and to march, in what we believe to be a violent display of weapons, through the streets of our cities.”

“And where was Kay Hutchinson’s denunciation of the Black Panthers and their terroristic actions and threats?,” Otwell wants to know. “She condemned the brutal murder of the black man, but said nothing about the brutal threats and intimidation coming from the militant, racist blacks. Where are the preachers and church ministries on this?” said Otwell.

“The government burned the Davidians’ men, women, and children because they were ‘armed and dangerous.’ They shot and killed Randy Weaver’s wife and teenage boy over a shotgun that was a quarter inch too short, and Randy and his family were non-violent. But Khallid Mohammad and the Black Panthers can openly threaten the ‘white crackers’…with mob violence and murder, and get by with it. They have forced the Texas cities of Dallas, Greenville, and Jasper to allow them to march with guns down their streets.”

“It seems like, to me, that law enforcement and elected officials are bending over backwards to kiss the butt of the militant blacks, either for fear or political reasons,” said Otwell. “We’ve heard the Ku Klux Klan condemned for their hatred of blacks, but where is the condemnation from the same officials for the Black Panthers?” asks Otwell.

One sheriff, of a nearby county, told Otwell recently, that he told some of his men, “If that had been Pastor Otwell who had said and done these things, they would have arrested him and charged him with a hate crime.” He also said that if the Black Panthers were to try to march in his county with guns, especially if he believed it was with a threatening intent, “it would not happen.”

Otwell says he has proven, without a doubt, that there is hypocrisy in the judicial and political systems. “Members of my church and I have been arrested, and I was fined $97,000 and our Boys’ Home shut down because of no license, which we didn’t need, according to the Bible and the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. It was a church ministry, totally supported by the church, I was arrested and jailed twice — once with other men from the church, in Ft. Worth — for feeding the homeless at the churches’ expense, and I was fined $87,000. I have been jailed for standing against the murder of innocent, unborn babies, My men have been arrested for preaching on the street, passing out gospel tracts. Rocky, my son, was arrested in Washington, D.C., for standing against the wickedness of sodomy at a church Bill Clinton was attending. I was even threatened by a county judge here in Nacogdoches, that he would “throw my butt in jail” just for protesting on County Courthouse property.

Help free America!

Fundies Boycott Walmart

WalMart just announced concern that only one product category in their Tennessee megastore seems to be suffering --hair dyes, hair tonics, and Grecian Formula for Men.

Trinity Family Church folks is uber right wing holier than thou types -they speak in tongues, offer degrees online and even have a bookstore for those who can read.

Dude, pray for some new hair, and God Bless Ya Walmart!

Scarborough Archives - Book Release

So you think this Rick Scarborough guy is some middle of the road mainstream family guy? Think again. One blogger described him best --an "ASSCLOWN" How true. Maybe Rev Rick should investigate the fundiebitch Janet Folgers anti gay hate ad campaign and how it impacted the life of Matthew Shepard -- and his murderers.

Best analysis of "Liberalism Kills Kids" is at Shakespeare's Sister
http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2006/03/liberalism-kills-kids.html

Excerpt:

Although claiming that abortions kill children isn’t exactly groundbreaking in its irritating yet tiresomely familiar mendacity, the assertion that children born out of wedlock, witness their parents’ divorces, or come out of the closet apparently drop dead is, I admit, some admirable trailblazing lunacy. Then again, maybe Dr. Scarborough isn’t suggesting that those things quite literally kill kids, but Liberalism Provides for Nontraditional Family Structures I Don’t Like isn’t quite as catchy a title.


"Liberalism Kills Kids" indicts many of the same forces to be discussed at the War On Christians conference -- Hollywood, the news media, the judiciary and organizations like the ACLU, which -- in the guise of promoting civil liberties -- are demolishing the social order.
Oh, I see. Demolishing the social order. That isn’t really the same as killing kids, is it? There are plenty of things that have the capacity to actually kill kids in America—endemic poverty leading to malnutrition/starvation, lack of access to affordable healthcare (including cutting-edge treatments and drugs), corporate irresponsibility and lax environmental regulations, guns, the kind of opportunistic hatemongering that plays on prejudices and can spiral into hate crimes which leave gay teenagers hanging dead on fences, just for a start. Curiously, what all those things have in common is that they wouldn’t make a good fit with the title Liberalism Kills Kids. I’m sure there’s a more appropriate title, but, gosh, it’s just escaping me at the moment

Don't Attack Sen. Danforth Rev. Hypocrite

Apparently a lot of Americans spoke pretty loud last night Rev. Scarborough. All that time you spent in Missouri and South Dakota ranting and raving about abortion and stem cell research and that "radical homosexual agenda" with that team of clowns disguised as Christians!

Had you not whipped up such anti gay hysteria and hate speech you might have been truly "slaughtered" at the polls yesterday versus just getting your a** whooped pretty darn bad!

God bless that Michael J. Fox! Did you know that he is #2 fundraiser for Parkinsons research topped only by the U.S. government. Remember when Christians and preachers and churches took up human rights causes, funded charities, and fed the hungry.

I realize you have little time for such "nonsense" because you have a direct ear to George B, a first class seat on Continentals Houston to DC flight, coaches like Tom Delay, books to sign down at the local hate rally, and a few public buildings in need of a plastic Ten Commandments wall statue.

John Danforth is not "attacking" Christians Rev. Scarborough. You however; are offending many Christian people of faith. Give it up please!

John Danforth's attack on Christians

By Rick Scarborough
http://www.worldnetdaily.com
Nov. 2 2007

Just when I thought I'd heard it all, I came across former U.S. Sen. John Danforth's attack on Christian activists.

While promoting his new book, "Faith and Politics, How the 'Moral Values' Debate Divides America and How to Move Forward Together," Sen. Danforth urged his Republican Party to "disengage" from the Christian voters ? who have enabled it to win the last three national elections ? saying religion has become too divisive a force in American politics.

Danforth, 70, an Episcopal priest, said politics today is too polarized and that the GOP spends too much time trying to appeal to the Christian right which, in reality, is the party's base. "I think it is bad for the country and ultimately the Republican Party," Danforth declared.

Danforth says he remains a loyal Republican but believes GOP leaders should speak out against the religious right and move toward the center location from which it lost election after election in the past. "On a whole host of issues I would be with the Republicans," the senator maintained. "I just want them to disengage themselves from the Christian right."

Danforth cited same-sex marriage as an example of Republican pandering to Christians. The issue lacks substance and is used to "make people angry and win political support," the senator said. As a member of the Senate for 18 years, Danforth said he "spent every day worrying about the budget and never worried a minute about gay marriage. Now it's the other way around."

Perhaps the senator has forgotten that this is a war Christians didn't chose. Before activist judges began forcing their immorality on the American people, deconstructing marriage and imposing a radical homosexual agenda upon an unsuspecting public, I didn't get up worrying about gay marriage, either. Now I get up every day thinking about the millions of school-age children in this country who are being brainwashed to believe that what God calls an abomination is natural and acceptable.

Danforth likes to remind us that he is an ordained minister, but he long since abandoned the faith.

He opposed both the federal and state Marriage Amendments, which Missourians favored by overwhelming majorities.

Now he is supporting the clone-to-kill amendment to the Missouri Constitution. Shame on you, Rev. Danforth. If you insist on ignoring God's Word, at least honor our nation's founding document: The Declaration of Independence reads, "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are CREATED equal, and endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights. ..." God is the Creator and every living person, regardless of age or stage of development, is granted the right to life that can only be violated, never abolished.

As for his assertion that the religious right is bad for his party, I remind him that without the base of the religious voters, there would be no Republican majority in Congress.

Clearly, Danforth's theological liberalism has led him to embrace political liberalism as well. Over the past six months, he has been the leading voice in the Missouri debate to legalize the making of cloned human beings for the purpose of extracting embryonic stem cell lines, then destroying the embryos.

The senator has repeatedly asserted, in a $30 million propaganda campaign, that he is pro-life and that the proposed amendment to the Missouri Constitution would ban human cloning. But every medical journal in the world acknowledges that the process of somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT, which the amendment advances, is cloning.

Sen. Danforth has either ignorantly or purposefully misrepresented the truth and attempted to convince Missouri voters who trust him that this amendment is good for the state. Now, a coalition of diverse religious communities are calling his hand on this fraudulent sales pitch, and he stands to lose credibility and stature. Missourians do not respond well to being misled. While slick ads are being aired hourly across Missouri, saying that the religious community has a divided view on this amendment, the truth is the leaders of virtually every major denomination in the state have come out against this wicked proposal.

I take no joy in speaking out against a man who devoted most of his adult life to public service, but this frontal attack on values voters cannot go unchallenged.

My recommendation to the leaders of the Republican Party is to separate from so-called moderate Republicans, who, like their Democratic counterparts, embrace secular humanism and reject absolute truth. When the Republican Party leadership embraces its own national platforms and begins to stand courageously for Judeo-Christian values, they will find that many more values voters will rally to their banner. And perhaps then, politicians like John Danforth will have a conversion and see the way home to the faith of their fathers. Christians from both parties, as well as the millions who don't participate at all, are waiting and praying for a party to arise that will unashamedly stand for traditional values.

Dear Don:
Maybe your churches are forced to lay off staff en masse because you are losing members, losing dollars in the plate every Sunday, losing your flock to other churches which might "get it" --something very few if any Baptist churches get.
Good riddance, may they all find a new job at gay friendly Wal Mart -your regions largest employer! Unlike your ridiculous hate campaign suggesting that Islam is taking over America, this one is easy to figure out. You are losing staff because you are a bunch of hateful old mean spirited idiots with no understanding of God's true message.



Your comments:

"Our SBC’s Baptist Press released an article Oct. 4 titled, “Study: 1,300-plus dismissed from Baptist church staffs in ’05.” What a tragedy to the name of Christ and the testimony of Christ to the lost world. It is not confined to smaller churches either. We know of two mega churches in a terrible situation in a neighboring state and numerous smaller churches of our state."

Yeah, Try Walmart or McDonalds. Apply online here >

“Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom."

On behalf of everyone of us who thinks you are a total moron, please leave the female hookers behind! Why can they inherit God's kingdom when the male hookers can not! Seems unfair to me.

Questions: Is masturbation considered immoral? Can I inherit the kingdom if I occasionally pull out Mr. Fun for a little non procreating fun?

Are hypocrite pastors Left Behind too? Greedy people will rule out most televangelists I am afraid. Adulterers too, yikes! Bad news apparently for Jews, atheist, Buddhist, Mormons, Catholics?,Witches,Divorcees, Rich Folks, Homos, Lesbos, Bisexuals, and those Transgenerationals! Will Rev.

Just leave the damn female prostitutes! Buh Bye! Move Along. Be Gone With You!

Gordon McDonald Gets It

I am not familiar with Gordon McDonald the evangelist, but he gets it. In his piece on Pastor Ted Haggard he writes on http://www.christianitytoday.com

"Ever since the beginning of the Bush administration, I have worried over the tendency of certain Evangelical personalities to go public every time they visited the White House or had a phone conference with an administration official. I know it has wonderful fund-raising capabilities. And I know the temptation to ego-expansion when one feels that he has the ear of the President. But the result is that we are now part of an evangelical movement that is greatly compromised—identified in the eyes of the public as deep in the hip pockets of the Republican party and administration. My own belief? Our movement has been used.

There are hints that the movement—once cobbled together by Billy Graham and Harold Ockenga—is beginning to fragment because it is more identified by a political agenda that seems to be failing and less identified by a commitment to Jesus and his kingdom. Like it or not, we are pictured as those who support war, torture, and a go-it-alone (bullying) posture in international relationships. Any of us who travel internationally have tasted the global hostility toward our government and the suspicion that our President's policies reflect the real tenants of Evangelical faith.

And I might add that there is considerable disillusionment on the part of many of our Christian brothers/sisters in other countries who are mystified as to where American evangelicals are in all of this. Our movement may have its Supreme Court appointments, but it may also have compromised its historic center of Biblical faith. Is it time to let the larger public know that some larger-than-life evangelical personalities with radio and TV shows do not speak for all of us?"

Very true Mr. McDonald; except is seems that most of these guys (Falwell, Robertson, LaHaye, Rick Scarborough) are more driven by their own egos and pocketbooks than they are by God. They protect their diamond mines and lear jets, cherish their Presidential photo-ops, preach against issues like gambling while supporting gambling lobbyist, spend more time bashing Gay and Lesbian families and Americans than they do supporting heterosexual Christian families; are too busy advising our families to look inside at their own, fail to understand that they turn people away from Christianity, do not represent many of us, and basically need to just shut up.

I agree with you, but to compare hypocrite TVangelicals like Foot in mouth Falwell or Gold Medalist Liar on the Legpress Pat Robertson to a Rev. Billy Graham is a huge stretch.

Pastor Ted on John Paulk

How ironic that these Preachers,Closet Cases, Ex Gays, and Homo Obsessed Straight Men are working so hard to stop Gays and Lesbians from Adopting Children...offering them a home in many cases for the first time!

I want to interview the children of John Paulk, and Pastor Ted Haggard, and all these other "outed" self hating homopobic Marys. Your high school aged children will really understand the hypocracy and selfishness of their dads (or moms)

Should these children be removed from your home?

Unconscionable Nut J. Dobson

James Dobson is protecting hid butt buddy Pastor Ted Haggard - Unconscionable!

COLORADO SPRINGS. Nov. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Focus on the Family founder and Chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today addressing an allegation by a male prostitute in Denver that Ted Haggard was one of his clients:

"It is unconscionable that the legitimate news media would report a rumor like this based on nothing but one man's accusation. Ted Haggard is a friend of mine and it appears someone is trying to damage his reputation as a way of influencing the outcome of Tuesday's election -- especially the vote on Colorado's marriage-protection amendment -- which Ted strongly supports.

"He has shown a great deal of grace under these unfortunate circumstances, quickly turning this matter over to his church for an independent investigation. That is a testament to the character I have seen him exhibit over and over again through the years."

Dearest Mr. Dobson

FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY MR. DOBSON
(YOU ASSHOLE)

Pastor Ted Bites The ...

Well Well Well. Another hypocrite Mary disguised as a Colorado Megachurch televangelical friend of fake Christian Dobson?

I had never even heard of Colorado megachurch leader Pastor Ted Haggard until today. Apparently he was possibly outed by his local male Colorado hooker who says he has damning evidence, and also says Pastor Ted like to snort a little meth prior to assuming the position. While this one still needs to be proved, I can say for sure that (1) My Gadar bell rang pretty loud when I first saw this guys photo and even more when I pulled him up on YouTube.

When my GayDar goes off, it is usually right on target. My only question might be why would Pastor Ted (who resigned today from his 14,000 member church and as President of some holier than thou Evangelical Association) hire an old hooker (the guy was in his late forties)?

Hey Ted, try Manhunt.net instead you tina freak....and don't leave your voice on you favorite local hooker's voicemail over at Rentboy.com.

All you sodomites join with me and pray this one is a true one.

Out! Out! All Hypocrites

Does Pastor Ted Like to give head? Stay tuned.

This may be a Rick Scarborough First

I do not think I have ever seen an email or Rick Scarborough post which does NOT bash gay and lesbians...all he wants here is your money and a prayer. Progress?

Message from Rick Scarborough:
When I hear a cry for help I have to respond.

Vision America has been working hard in Missouri for the past few
months and we have been seeing incredible response from ministers
across the state. We are seeing the pulpits of this state ringing
forth with a declaration of truth; motivating Christians to get
involved and to make a difference.

In the midst of our work South Dakota cried out for help!

And we answered!

Missouri is in the national spotlight as a deceptive cloning amendment
is being foisted on its citizens by special interest groups with deep
pockets, and the key to protecting unborn children from exploitation
is Christians.

South Dakota is also fighting for the protection of the unborn and
attempting to stop the genocide that takes place under legalized
abortion.

When I return to South Dakota this weekend to speak alongside Alan
Keyes and Dr. James Dobson, this will be the third trip I will have
made into the state.

So now I am asking you for help, above and beyond your current
support, and pray that you will respond.

Click here to help now!

http://www.visionamerica.us/site/R?i=wr_5_56kZkFG070Xks3BdQ..

We did not budget for our work in South Dakota and we need your help
in meeting the needs that have arisen.

I know if you could, you would be on the ground with me in Missouri
and South Dakota. Vision America allows you to be there! Vision
America allows you to make a difference in the key battles our nation
is facing!

As a partner, as a friend, I need your help.

Your donation of any amount will help. No matter how much you can
give, every donation makes a difference. And every donation goes
directly to saving the life of an unborn child and allows us to
prepare for the next battle our nation will face.

Additionally, thanks to a matching grant, your donation is doubled
immediately. Your donation will make a huge impact. Please take action
today by clicking here.

Thank you for your support, especially to those who give every month.
Maybe the next battle is in your state, and the next cry for help will
come from you. Vision America needs your support so that we can
answer.

Scarborough on Stem Cells

The only thing devilish is not supporting research.

"And Rick Scarborough, a Texas minister who founded the conservative
organization Vision America, called early stem-cell research "a devilish
science" and urged church members to get involved in the campaign to block the
initiative."

RNC's Ken Mehlman -- Gay?

So is Ken Mehlman the next Republican closet case to be outed? Considering his praise for Delay, I say if you have information....now is the time to show the lunacy and hypocracy of the Republican Party.

Check out the video and BlogActive's questions to Mr. Republican.




From a Chris Matthews interview with Tom Delay
MATTHEWS: Ken Mehlman, the chairman of your party, said something pretty nice about you
tonight and I think you’d have to respond to it:
“The essence of leadership is not just coming up with good ideas, it’s making those good ideas happen. For the past two decades, Tom DeLay has tirelessly and successfully transformed very important ideas into very successful laws. Conservative legislation from welfare reform and a balanced budget, to tax relief, education reform and a ban on partial-birth abortion all bear the signature of Tom DeLay.”
DELAY: Well, that’s very nice to say, but there were a lot of other Republicans that did that too.
