Rush Limbaugh's Open Letter to President Obama

If you're not listening to Big Talk Radio, you missed this incredible "letter" to the President. Give it a listen.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Rep. Chris Smith: 'We Need to Pray for Obama. He is So Obsessed With Promoting Abortion.'

According to CNSNews, Rep. Chris Smith (R.-N.J.)stated, 'We Need to Pray for Obama. He is So Obsessed With Promoting Abortion':
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Chris Smith (R.-N.J.), co-chairman of the House Pro-Life Caucus, told CNSNews.com in a video interview at Friday’s 37th annual March for Life that American need to pray for President Barack Obama because he is “obsessed” with promoting abortion.

When CNSNews.com asked Smith what pro-life Americans could do to fight for the rights of the unborn, he said: “I think we need to pray. We need to fast. We need to pray for Obama. He is so obsessed with promoting abortion. All of his picks for secretary, under-secretary, assistant-secretary--all the gate-keepers in government--are now litmus-tested pro-abortionists, many of whom come right out of the abortion-rights movement. And these movement abortionists are trying to use everything when we know it, or sometimes when we don’t know it, behind the scenes, to promote this agenda. So this is an aggressive pro-abortion administration.”
Rep. Smith's quote is kind of a "good news, bad news" situation. Obviously, it's appalling the president is very pro-abortion as are so many in his administration. On the other hand, it's wonderful to hear a United States Representative publicly promote prayer and fasting as a means of fighting this cultural war. Major kudos to him and any others in congress who may think along those lines.

Indeed, it's going to take much prayer and fasting to win the battle with those who are anti-life. If you're a praying person and you're anti-abortion, (I know, that's a non sequitur) consider kicking it up a notch or 2 by fasting. It's a powerful weapon to keep handy in your spiritual arsenal and if we ever needed reinforcements for the spiritual warfare swirling around us, it is now.

Actions Matter

Dennis Prager is one of the wisest people I know. One of the neat features on his vast website is Prager University wherein he does 5 minute videos on life changing subject matter. His most recent video compares thoughts with actions and goes on to explain which of the 2 is most important in life. He makes brilliant comparisons with everyday illustrations. Here's the video. I know you'll like it!

The People Speak

Boston Tea Party 2.0


How fitting that this huge upset should take place in Boston, home of the original Tea Party! Washington needs to wake up to what's going on in America. We don't go along with the radical leftist agenda of this administration and we deplore Obamacare. This is a republic form of government of, by and for the people. We will not put up with an "in your face" elitist form of government. The election of newby Scott Brown should be a wake-up call to everyone in Washington.

Big time congratulations to Scott Brown, the new Senator of Massachusetts!

Hundreds Protest Western World's Largest Abortion Facility


On Martin Luther King day, hundreds of anti-abortion protesters peacefully walked the perimeter of what will be the Western World's largest abortion facility second only to China's abortion centers. The facility is located in Houston, TX and will be operated by Planned Parenthood.

The demonstrators quietly prayed as they walked around the "cash register shaped" building. Thousands more walked through nearby minority neighborhoods voicing their opposition to this clinic and warning people that this facility will be essentially targeting minorities in these neighborhoods.

Houston and the surrounding communities would be well served if they paid attention to the praying pro-lifers:
Since the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, more than 50,000,000 abortions have been executed in this country. This estimated number, originally calculated by Heritage House in 2007, starts from statistics generated by the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI, which is Planned Parenthood’s Research Affiliate) and adds on AGI’s 3 percent estimate of the number of unreported abortions as a percentage of the total number of reported abortions each year.

After the 1973 Roe decision, the yearly rate of abortion rapidly climbed above the 1,000,000 mark by 1975, stabilized above 1,600,000 per year during the 1980s, and then declined somewhat to recent yearly rates above 1,200,000 per year. Over the 37 years since 1973, the average yearly rate of abortions has been about 1,350,000 per year. That’s roughly 26,000 per week. If abortions were executed at a constant pace throughout a six-day, 48-hour work week (they aren’t, but we’re just calculating averages here), the above weekly rate of 26,000 abortions is roughly equivalent to 540 per hour, 9 per minute ... or about one abortion every seven seconds.

That rate will almost surely increase. Why? Although supporters of the legal right to abortion (who would prefer to talk about “reproductive rights” in order to conflate abortion with the right to reproduce) claim that they want abortions to be “safe, legal, and rare,” in recent years, Planned Parenthood, the largest U.S. abortion provider, has been significantly increasing its capacity by opening very large abortion facilities at several new locations throughout the nation. Indeed, the business of providing abortions must be a highly profitable, “growth” industry (see "A New Pro-life Documentary: 'Blood Money'"). Furthermore, if abortion coverage becomes part of the pending federal healthcare bill and the bill passes . . . the yearly rate of abortions can only go up.

While Planned Parenthood’s innocuous-sounding name seems to suggest wholesome thoughts about the loving care of parents for their children, the stark reality is that Planned Parenthood’s primary income-generating service is abortion, which involves killing the parents’ offspring.
50,000,000 abortions!
How long is this going to be allowed to continue? The great Thomas Jefferson said, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever."

May God help us!

The Best Way to Help


Go to The Salvation Army for the most cost effective way to help the people in Haiti. They need our help and in this economy it's difficult, if not impossible, to give when you're having trouble making your own ends meet. That being said, Americans are a generous people and we help people out because it's the right thing to do even when we can't "afford" it.

Every charitable organization in the world, including the United Nations and even some governmental agencies are going to be asking you for money to help in this cause. It's a worthy cause, to be sure, but before you give them your money discern how wasteful they are with the money they already have been given (or taken, as the case may be).

Give what you are able to give. The widow's mite will go farther at Salvation Army than virtually any other organization of its magnitude. The desperately destitute people of Haiti are begging the world to come to their aid; The Salvation Army, along with our prayers, are the best way to help those needy people.

"Greedy White Folks" come to Haiti's Aid

You've probably heard the quote from Rev. Wright which Obama liked so much he included it in his book:

“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!”
White folks' greed? Puhleeeese!!!

Haiti is now reeling from a giant earthquake and guess who is rushing to come to their aid? That's right, greedy Americans; "white folks" of every color and creed. The same greedy Americans who zoomed to Indonesia right after the tsunami 5 years ago. Americans aren't only sending aid this very moment, but you can bet Americans across the country are praying for the Haitians throughout this horrific ordeal.

I'm tired of being told by money and power grabbing politicians that Americans are greedy. We're the most generous nation on earth with our money, our assets and our very lives that we've sacrificed so that oppressed peoples could be set free.

Years ago, at the end of the Viet Nam War, Canadian journalist, Gordon Sinclair wrote "A Tribute to the United States."That tribute, though somewhat dated, still holds up. In fact it's more timely now than ever in this post modern era of "trash America first. Watch it right here:



In my opinion the best way we can help the unfortunate people in Haiti is to contact The Salvation Army and ask them how you can help. They were the first to arrive after the tsunami in Indonesia and they have among the lowest operating costs of all the non-profits. Give them a hand and then keep these people in your prayers.

"Surprise me!"

My daughter works in an environment abounding in creativity. Recently she got thoughtful note of appreciation from one of her co-horts. As a proud Daddy, it melted my heart; as a praying man, it challenged my trust in God. Was I willing to be surprised by the Big Guy?

Many years ago, I had a crazy-brilliant creative partner named Blain Johnsen. Lives in Woodstock, NY, now. We’re still friends. We were a very tight-knit team. Sometimes when were were on the road and eating at great restaurants — this was in the days of outrageous expense accounts — when it was time to order Johnsen would tell the waiter, “Surprise me.” He wouldn’t give a hint about his tastes, wouldn’t answer any questions. Just “Surprise me.” I’ve done that a few times myself, and it’s really fun. The waiters love it too.

Well, sometime last year I realized something: I’ll trust a waiter to surprise me, with a full expectation that it’s going to be a great experience, but I wasn’t trusting God to surprise me. I’d be real specific about what I’d pray for, as if there was reason to be suspicious of anything outside the realm of what I could imagine I needed. So finally I started saying, sometimes, to God, “Surprise me. I’ll let You decide what You think’s good today.” And surprise me He has. It’s been one astonishment after another. You’re one of them. At a time when I really needed a kindred spirit and a challenging intellect in my life, in you dropped out of the blue — such a completely unexpected person and in such an unexpected way. A wonderful surprise I could never have designed.

The specifics I would ask God for are so dull and uncreative compared to His surprises. This is fun. I’m grateful. Thank you.

Words to Boycott in 2010


It's been said he who controls the language, controls the argument; or something like that. That being said there is a growing list of words I'm going to do my best to boycott. These words are ideological tools which when used, heard or read with regularity serve the same purpose as repeating the big lie. You know, tell a lie often enough and before long a large segment of society, like sheeple, will believe it.

Here is a partial list of the over-used words that annoy and bore me: (in no particular order)

green
eco (eco anything...although I do like the term "eco-freak")
environmental
sustainability
pandemic
greenhouse gases
bio fuel
recycle
rain forest
sustainability
CO2
holistic
global warming
climate change
carbon credits
carbon footprint
regulatory
sustainability
biodegradable
biodiversity
bio-anything
non-renewable
toxic
over population
smart cars
earth day
swine flu
H1N1
crisis
Did I mention sustainability?

In fact there are so many irritating, politically correct, eco-words, you would have to destroy an entire rain forest just to print the list. And that just wouldn't be sustainable!
