Biden Mourns Babies Killed By Guns, But Not Abortion

JOE BIDEN CONSIDERS THE LIVES OF BABIES KILLED BY ABORTIONISTS LESS WORTHY OF GRIEF THAN THOSE KILLED BY A CRAZED GUNMAN.

JOE BIDEN CONSIDERS THE LIVES OF BABIES KILLED BY ABORTIONISTS LESS WORTHY OF GRIEF THAN THOSE KILLED BY A CRAZED GUNMAN.

Joe Biden’s heart bleeds for defenseless babies. The Vice President told us so last month, while advocating a ban on assault weapons.

“Think about Newtown,” said Biden, and “those 20 beautiful babies” that were shot and killed by Adam Lanza. “Think about how many of these children…may be alive today,” he said, if only the baby-killer hadn’t possessed a Bushmaster.

Well, I might think the Veep’s lamentations for Newtown’s tender-aged victims genuine if I heard him express similar grief for other beautiful babies that have been so remorselessly killed.

Like those killed at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Biden’s home state of Delaware, under conditions so horrifying – even for an abortion clinic – that two former nurses decided this week to blow the whistle.

Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich and Joyce Vasikonis attested that the clinic, located in Wilmington, operated what they call a meat-market style of assembly-line abortions. In a rush to get expectant mothers in and out as quickly as possible, the nurses said, the clinic left operating tables a bloody mess.

“It’s not washed down,” said Werbrich. “It’s not even cleaned off. It has bloody drainage on it.”

The Planned Parenthood abortion doctors “were using instruments on patients,” said Vasikonis, “that were not sterile.”

Frankly, I don’t find that surprising. If a physician feels perfectly sanguine about violating his or her Hippocratic oath to “do no harm” by taking the life of a pre-born baby, why would they care if they commit their infanticide in unsanitary conditions?

So what if the expectant mother dies along with her aborted baby?

That’s the kind of Godless thinking that informed the mindset of the Planned Parenthood abortionists. They are baby killers. And they are no less reprehensible than Lanza, and probably even more so.

Indeed, the crazed Newtown shooter took the lives of 20 children. Meanwhile, the Planned Parenthood abortion doctors, who are considered perfectly sane, take the lives of at least 20 babies every day but Sunday.

So why hasn’t Joe Biden expressed outrage over the babies killed in his very own home state? Why hasn’t he issued a call for abortion control (like he has for gun control)?

Because the veep is a duplicitous politician. And he has sold his soul to the abortion industry.

Has President Obama Suddenly Gotten Religion?

THE FIRST FAMILY MADE A RARE CHURCH APPEARANCE ON INAUGURATION DAY.

THE FIRST FAMILY MADE A RARE CHURCH APPEARANCE ON INAUGURATION DAY.

President Obama began his Inauguration Day by attending worship services at St. John’s Episcopal Church in the Nation’s Capital along with his wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia.

It was a rare church appearance for the First Family. During, during their first four years residing in the White House, they found time for the Lord not even half as many times as they managed to get away for family vacays.

After services yesterday at St. Johns, during which the president stood to receive a blessing from Bishop Vashti McKenzie, the First Family’s next stop was the U.S. Capitol, where Mr. Obama delivered his second Inaugural Address.

What amazed was the number of religious references the president made as he spoke to the hundreds of thousands assembled on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and the millions more of us watching around the country.

It was so unlike Mr. Obama to speak of “the tenets of our faith.” To agree with the nation’s founders that we are all, everyone, “endowed by our Creator” with certain unalienable rights.

To declare “freedom is a gift from God.” To mention “the eyes of God.” To profess that the planet is “commanded to our care by God.” To advocate the freedom of “every soul on Earth.” To affirm his “oath to God and country.”

Then, to wrap up his remarks not only with the perfunctory “God bless you,” but also by beseeching the Almighty to “forever bless the United States of America.”

I’d like to believe that the President recently experienced some sort of religious transformation, like Saul of Tarsus blinded by the light of the Savior on the road to Damascus.

I’d like to believe that his recent church attendance and religion-infused Inaugural Address are tell-tale signs that he will govern in his second term according to Godly principles.

But, alas, I am unconvinced.

Not the least because of Mr. Obama’s reiteration of his presidential support for homosexual marriage.

“Our journey is not complete,” he said yesterday, “until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”

I also found it noteworthy that Mr. Obama neglected to mention abortion, purposely ignoring the fact that the day after his inauguration is the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s unholy decision in Roe v. Wade.

It would have been wonderful if the president had noted the anniversary and stood up for the right to life of the unborn the way he stood up for the supposed right of homosexuals to marry each other.

But the president was silent, signaling his continued support for the nation’s abortionists.

Jesus warned, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

President Obama said “Lord, Lord” in his Inaugural Address. But he most certainly is not doing the will of the Father.

How Christians Should Respond to Obama’s Re-Election

LET US PRAY THAT THE PRESIDENT, WHO PROFESSES HIMSELF CHRISTIAN, TRULY GOVERNS LIKE ONE.

As I join my fellow Christ followers in lamenting the re-election of a president whose policies have been decidedly unGodly, I am reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul.

“Let every soul,” he instructed, “be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”

What that means is that sovereign God, in His divine wisdom, has permitted Barack Obama to rule our troubled land another four years.

Just as He allowed Pharoah to rule Egypt during the time of Moses; Ahab to rule Israel during the time of Elijah; and Belshazzar to rule Babylon during the time of Daniel.

That God allowed those wicked men to govern in no way meant He overlooked their unrepentant sinfulness.

Indeed, He brought ten plagues upon Pharoah’s Egypt, the last of which took the life of the ruler’s first-born son.

Ahab was mortally wounded by a random arrow and died ignominiously as dogs lapped up his blood.

And Belshazarr was slain, and his kingdom lost to his enemies, after God passed judgment on him – the proverbial writing on the wall.

The point is that God remains on the throne. That he rules over all the kingdoms and the nations. That in His hand there is power and might. And that no one, not even the putative “leader of the free world,” is able to withstand Him.

So, much as it pains this evangelical Christian, I accept that Barack Obama is our nation’s duly re-elected president. And I do not challenge his governing authority over me and my house.

However, just because the mass of voters returned Obama to the White House for another four years doesn’t mean that same-sex marriage is no longer an abomination; that abortion is no longer murder; that God no longer has a place in public life.

And no matter the outcome of the presidential election, I believe it the duty of Christ followers to “speak truth to power.” To raise our voices in dissent when our elected leaders pass laws and pursue policies which clearly are contrary to God’s supreme law.

I count myself among the more than half of Americans who, according to Election Day exit polls, believe that our nation is “on the wrong track.” I also attribute the social and economic morass in which our country currently finds itself to our governing authorities, who have turned away from God.

That is why it is up to the Christian faithful to stand in the gap for America the next four years. To pray, unceasingly, that our president, who professes himself Christian, will actually govern like a true Christian.

For God has promised, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Why Christians Should Not Vote For Obama

‘BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST,’ BY REMBRANDT. ‘YOU HAVE BEEN WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES, AND FOUND WANTING.’

The Bible tells the story of Belshazzar, the very last king of Babylon, who held a great feast for a thousand of his lords during which he commanded his servants to bring the sacred vessels which had been pillaged from God’s holy temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his lords could drink from them.

In the midst of the unholy revelry, a disembodied hand materialized and wrote upon a wall: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

It was a message to Belshazzar.

“God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it. You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; Your kingdom has been divided…”

America is today ruled by a president who defies God, much as Belshazzar did. And for faithful Christ followers who remain undecided how they will vote on Election Day, let us offer ten reasons why they absolutely should not cast their ballots for Barack Obama:

I. The president refuses to acknowledge America’s Christian origins. During a state visit to Turkey, Mr. Obama told his Muslim hosts, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” That amounted to a repudiation of the nation’s founders, almost all of whom were devoted Christ followers.

II. The president has undermined the institution of marriage – which heretofore was known as “holy matrimony” – by embracing same-sex marriage. His position defies the Word of God, which unequivocally states, “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.”

III. The president is complicit in the slaughter of more than 4.5 million unborn children during his watch, having sold his soul to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider. The president even supports late-term abortion and, worst still, the withholding of physician care for babies that actually survive attempted abortion.

IV. The president has said nothing, and done nothing, about the religious oppression, the violent attacks, upon Christian minorities in Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. The attacks have increased more than 300 percent over the past 10 years.

V. The president only pretends to be a friend of Israel, the birthplace of Christianity. During last year’s G-20 Summit in Canne, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told Mr. Obama that he couldn’t bear Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Sarkozy called “a liar.” The president concurred. “You’re fed up?” he said. “I have to deal with him everyday.”

VI. The president gave his imprimatur to a decision to remove any reference to “God” in the Democratic Party Platform, and any declaration of Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel (a designation disputed by Islamists who refuse to accept Israel’s right to exist). He reversed course only after a great public outcry.

VII. The president is hostile to religious freedom as evidence by the argument his  administration made before the Supreme Court that church employees can claim workplace discrimination when their beliefs or conduct are contrary to the tenets of their faith-based employers.

VIII. The president’s health care reform mandates the insurers provide contraceptives on demand for single women – like Sandra Fluke – which amounts to tacit approval of sexual promiscuity.

IX. The president takes spiritual counsel from radical pastors like Jeremiah Wright and Joseph Lowery. Rev. Wright, who married Barack and Michelle Obama, infamously stated that, instead of singing “God Bless America,” blacks should sing “God Damn America.” Rev. Lowry, who spoke at Obama’s inauguration, just recently said, when he was a young civil rights activist, he would say “all white folks are going to hell.” Then he mellowed “and just said most of them are.” Now, he said, he is back to where he was.

X. The president professes himself a man of faith but has managed to attend Sunday church services not even a tenth as many times as he has stolen away from the White House to play golf.

Richard Mourdock Was Right on Rape

THOSE THAT SUPPORT ABORTION IN THE CASE OF RAPE TELL REBECCA KIESSLING AND OTHERS LIKE HER THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

When I think about the sound and fury swirling around Richard Mourdock, the Indiana Republican vying for a U.S. Senate seat, my thoughts turn to Rebecca Kiessling.

In a debate this week with Democrat Rep. Joe Donnelly, Mourdock defended his opposition to abortion even in cases in which a pregnancy has resulted from rape. “I think,” said Mourdock, emotionally, “even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something God intended to happen.”

Rebecca, I suspect, would absolutely agree with Mourdock. Because the Michigan woman was conceived, she attests, “out of a brutal rape at knife point by a serial rapist.”

While God condemns the abominable act of rape, He has nothing but love for the innocent unborn child that, in rare cases, results from the act. And the life of that unborn child, conceived in violence, is no less precious to Him than the unborn child born in love.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the adult pregnancy rate associated with rape is 4.2 percent. That adds up to roughly 31,000 rape-related pregnancies each year to women over the age of majority.

Abortion “rights” advocates insist that those pre-born babies should not be allowed to exist. And even some of those who are otherwise “pro-life” are willing to countenance abortion in cases of rape.

Indeed, I used to be one of them. But my mind was changed by Rebecca’s powerful testimony.

Her birthmother, she says, was referred by police to a rape counselor who told her that abortion was the best thing for her to do. So she went to two different abortionists thinking she would terminate her pregnancy.

Both times Rebecca’s birthmother had misgivings – I believe it was the Holy Spirit whispering in her ear – and, ultimately, she decided to have her baby.

And, today, 44-year-old Rebecca is a married mother of five children, a family law attorney, and a pro-life Christian.

Those that are bashing Mourdock, are telling Rebecca, and telling others like her that were conceived in rape, that they should have been killed in the womb; that their birthmothers made a mistake by allowing them to be born.

“All these people are out there who don’t even know me,” says Rebecca, “are standing in judgment of my life, so quick to dismiss it just because of how I was conceived.”

For much of her life, said, she felt she had to justify her existence; to prove “I shouldn’t have been aborted and that I was worthy of living.”

And there are thousands of women and men in this country who feel exactly the way Rebecca does. Some are products of rape. Some were conceived in incest.

Abortion “rights” advocates tell them that they didn’t deserve to live.

And those same abortion “rights” advocates are now crucifying Richard Mourdock for saying to those thousands of women and men that, while they may have been conceived under ungodly circumstances, they nevertheless had the God-given right to life.

Obama’s Ungodly Policies Risk Black Christian Votes

‘PRESIDENT OBAMA IS LEADING THE COUNTRY DOWN AN IMMORAL PATH,’ SAID REV. WILLIAM OWENS.

Once upon a time, I wrote a newspaper column while onsite at a Democratic National Convention.

I opined that, “It really doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate as their party standard-bearer – Bill Clinton, David Duke or a loaf of bread – black voters will blindly support him (or it).”

Indeed, blacks have gone overwhelming Democrat since the 1932 presidential election, when Franklin Roosevelt captured 71 percent of the black vote.

Given that history, most political observers expect the same outcome when black voters go to the polls this upcoming November. Especially since one of their own is running for a second term in the White House.

Well, I have a different view. While I expect that the majority of blacks will indeed cast their ballots for Barack Obama, I seriously doubt he will capture 95 percent of the black vote this time around.

That’s because a certain segment of the black population – socially conservative, church-going Christians – are none too pleased with the ungodly positions the president has taken on such issues as same-sex marriage and abortion.

Indeed, the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors is currently circulating a petition among their church congregations encouraging Obama to reconsider his election-year support for same-sex couplings.

“By embracing gay marriage,” said Rev. William Owens, the Coalition’s president, “President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path. Some things are bigger than the next election.”

Then there’s the National Black ProLife Coalition, a network of pro-life and pro-family organizations. It points out that abortion is the leading cause of death for blacks.

And that Democrat-aligned Planned Parenthood, whose president got podium time at the Democrat convention in Charlotte, is most responsible for the yearly slaughter of pre-born black babies.

“We’re calling out black leaders,” the Coalition declares, “who align themselves with the destructive eugenic force of Planned Parenthood.” That includes Obama, who has sold his soul to the abortion-industrial complex.

So, while a majority of black voters almost certainly will line up behind Obama again – despite the immoral path down which he has led this nation, as Rev. Owens lamented, those that place God above political party, above racial hegemony, will vote not to return him to the White House.

A Pastor Sells His Soul to the Party of Obama

PASTOR DERRICK HARKINS COMPROMISES HIS FAITH TO SUPPORT DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Rev. Derrick Harkins is a hypocrite.

He’s the pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., which the Washington Post describes as “theologically conservative.” And he serves on the board of the National Association of Evangelicals.

But the Baptist preacher also is the National Director of Faith Outreach for the Democratic National Committee, which supports public policies that are an affront to the Almighty.

Indeed, today Harkins presides over a meeting of the party’s so-called Faith Caucus at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Its task is to devise a strategy to somehow persuade Christian voters that the party’s platform is about “being our brother’s keeper” and “compassion.”

Pastor Harkins should be reminded of the Scripture which declares: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.”

Harkins obviously believes that Scripture does not apply to him. He thinks he can be, at once, a faithful Christ follower and loyal Democrat.

But the reality – which the pastor is too blind to see – is that his service to the party of Obama is a disservice to the Kingdom of God.

Indeed, there simply is no way that a man of God can support a president, support a political party, that defends the yearly slaughter of more than one million unborn children. And there’s no way that a pastor faithful to God’s Word could blithely associate himself with a president and a party that promote the abomination of same-sex marriage.

I imagine Harkins rationalizes his hypocrisy by invoking the words of Jesus: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” And I imagine the pastor deludes himself that he is somehow following the Savior’s example.

But the Democrats in Charlotte are absolutely unrepentant of their advocacy of ungodly policies. And they are absolutely convinced that the wrongdoers are those of us who oppose abortion, who oppose homosexual nuptials.

Harkins knows this. Yet he continues to fellowship with those who shake their fists at God, who are gathered this week at the Democratic convention.

The Bible tells the stories of two men – Samson and Saul – who were once highly favored by God, but from whom God’s Spirit departed when they did their will, rather than His.

Those should be cautionary tales for Pastor Harkin. By casting his lot with unrepentant abortionists and sodomites – among other recalcitrant sinners partying in Charlotte – he risks the same spiritual ruin as Samson and Saul.

No More Denying Attacks on Religious Freedom

AUTHORITATIVE NEW REPORT PRODUCED BY LIBERTY INSTITUTE AND FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL.

“I don’t think, generally, Christians are being persecuted in this country.” So said Barack Obama, during his first run for the White House.

The president won’t be able to make that claim this time around. Not after the release this week of the “Survey on Religious Hostility in America,” jointly produced by Liberty Institute and the Family Research Council (the recent target of such religious hostility).

Liberty and FRC declare, “Hostility to religious liberty has reached an all-time high, and the attacks are increasing at an unprecedented rate.” Their well-researched survey documents more than 600 cases of bigotry against people of faith.

Among the more egregious examples:

– The faithful Christian nurse ordered to assist a late-term abortion at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York or lose both her job and her nursing license.

– The federal judge who threatened a high school valedictorian in Castroville, Texas with “incarceration” unless the young Christ follower removed references to Jesus in her graduation speech.

– The institution of a new policy by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs secularizing funerals for vets at national cemeteries, with no references to God or the veteran’s faith, overriding the wishes of the vet’s family for a religious funeral.

– The Christian couple that managed an apartment complex in Lake City, Florida that was fired by their supervisor for being “too religious” because they displayed a piece of artwork that had pictures of lilies and a quotation from the Book of Matthew, “Consider the lilies of the field…”

– The New Mexico Civil Rights Commission’s finding that Christian-owned Elane Photography Company was guilty of “sexual orientation” discrimination because it refused to photograph same-sex weddings.

If these were but isolated cases, it would be hard for Liberty Institute and FRC to persuade much of the public that religious liberty is under assault throughout America. But their jointly-produced survey has provided example after example after example – more than 600 in all.

One would have to be an atheist, or a recalcitrant Obama supporter, not to see the obvious pattern of hostility toward people of faith; Christians in particular.

Why Blacks Should Despise Planned Parenthood

NO OUTRAGE OVER THE ABORTION-RELATED DEATH OF OF TONYA REAVES.

The family of Chicago native Tonya Reaves received no condolences from President Obama. The Windy City’s black clergy held no prayer vigil in her memory. Its civil rights activists staged no protest at the site where the young black woman was killed last Friday.

That’s because Tonya’s death was not considered by Chi-Town’s black community to be a “hate” crime. Because the 24-year-old mother-to-be died at the hands of a Planned Parenthood abortion doctor.

The final day of Tonya’s life began with a visit to a Planned Parenthood “clinic” for a second-trimester abortion. An autopsy revealed that she bled to death after her unnamed doctor performed a “dilation and extraction” procedure on her.

The CEO of Planned Parenthood Illinois, Carole Bright, issued a statement saying that it’s too bad Tonya died at one of the organization’s “clinics,” but that “abortion services in the United States have a very high safety record.”

I’m sure that information is a comfort to the dead young woman’s grieving family.

The black community should be outraged. And not just because of Bright’s dubious apology.

But because the death of Tonya Reaves brings squarely into focus the mass extermination of blacks for which Planned Parenthood is responsible; the racist underpinnings of the organization founded by Margaret Sanger back in 1921.

Indeed, Wikipedia notes that Planned Parenthood’s founder “believed that lighter-skinned races were superior to darker-skinned races.”  It also notes that Sanger actually gave a 1926 lecture to the “women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan.”

In 1939, Sanger devised her so-called Negro Project, a surreptitious campaign to encourage birth control among the darker-skinned by recruiting black pastors, in particular, to promote the project.

Planned Parenthood’s founder outlined her strategy in a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, an heir to the Proctor & Gamble soap company fortune and staunch advocate of eugenics.

“We should hire three or four colored ministers,” she suggested, “preferably with social service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.”

She went on, insidiously, “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of the more rebellious members.”

That letter revealed the evil in Sanger’s heart. Yet, her latter day successors are even worse.

For while Sanger sought to limit the growth of the black population by means of preventing black women from getting pregnant, she was adamantly against abortion – even among the darker-skinned.

But the women who have headed Planned Parenthood since 1973, when Roe v. Wade legalized abortion on demand, have not had Sanger’s qualms about the slaughter of the unborn.

That’s why more than 17 million pre-born black babies have been aborted over the past four decades. That’s why nearly four of ten abortions are performed today on black women like poor young Tonya Reaves.

No to Condoleezza Rice For Veep

FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD ALIENATE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES.

Condoleezza Rice has, in my estimation, served this country with distinction.

First, as a member of the National Security Council during the presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush. Then, as Secretary of State, during the presidency of George Walker Bush.

A FOX News poll released yesterday said that Rice is the top choice of the Republican faithful to be the ticketmate of Mitt Romney, the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

But she is not the top choice of this social conservative; this long-time Republican.

That’s because Condi supports abortion “rights.” And, frankly, because the 58-year-old has never been married; never had children.

I believe that, after Barack Obama’s jobless “recovery” and his government takeover of the nation’s health care system, the biggest issues in the upcoming presidential campaign will be marriage and abortion.

Romney, the GOP standardbearer, can proclaim himself as the candidate who stands with the majority of Americans who believe in the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.

On the other side is Democrat Obama, who stands with the abortionists; who stands with the homosexuals who defile the institution of marriage, which was created by God Almighty.

I believe Romney loses both the abortion and marriage issues with Condi on ticket.

For while she says that she opposes late term abortion and she favors parental notification when an under-age girl seeks an abortion, the fact remains that, if her views became policy, there would continue to be more than one million unborn babies killed each year.

I do not know Condi’s views on marriage. Whether she agrees that it is the backbone of society; that it should be reserved exclusively to one man and one woman; that same-sex marriage is an abomination in the eyes of God.

If she agrees with all that, her views coincide with those of social conservatives and Christian evangelicals, who make up a third of the Republican Party base.

Nevertheless, it would be hard for Condi to make a strong, convincing case for traditional marriage when she’s never been a bride herself. When she’s never been a mom.

I’m not condemning Condi for never being married. And by absolutely no means am I criticizing her for being childless. 

I’m simply saying that that a never-been-married, childless woman – or man for that matter – is not the ideal spokesperson for family values.

That’s not to say that there is no place in a Romney administration for an individual boasting the distinguished resume of Condoleezza Rice.

Maybe U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Or Secretary of Homeland Security.

Just not a heartbeat away from the presidency.
