OBAMA, THE ARMY AND GEORGE WASHINGTON - In a general court-martial dated March 14, 1778, General George Washington approved the discharge of a soldier who was "tried for attempting to commit sodomy." The court martial decision read as follows: "[We] do sentence him to be dismiss'd [from] the service with infamy. His Excellency the Commander in Chief approves the sentence and with abhorrence and detestation of such infamous crimes orders Lieut. Enslin to be drummed out of camp tomorrow morning by all the drummers and fifers in the Army never to return." The new Commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, with the help of radical Nancy Pelosi, plans to change military rules to allow men to commit acts of sodomy in the bunk beds next to soldiers who are heterosexual and faithful to their wives. Does this sound like it will promote solidarity in the ranks? Read more

FOUNDER OF GAY CLUBS TO "PROTECT" STUDENTS - President Barack Obama has appointed Kevin Jennings as assistant deputy secretary of education in charge of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. Jennings is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). This group pushes "gay-straight alliance" clubs in public schools. The goal of GLESN is to "assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression." In other words homosexual students should be allowed to have sex in the boys room. This guy will be in charge of a "safe schools" program?

OBAMA'S NATION OF MUSLIMS AND HINDUS - Generally, when a public figure speaks at a Jewish event he doesn't focus on Christians or Muslims. You would think that at a Christian event as well, a public figure would not concentrate on other faiths. You would think so.

At the Hispanic prayer breakfast last week there were two hours of prayer, music, and testimony centered on the power and saving grace of Jesus Christ. The importance of Christianity to the Latino community was emphasized over and over again, at the prayer breakfast on Friday in Washington, DC. Then it was President Obama's turn to speak. He opened his address by saying, "We can begin by giving thanks for the legacy that allows us to come together." Obama then continued, "For it was the genius of America's Founders to protect the freedom of all religions, and those who practice no religion at all." You got it, he could not leave the atheists out of the speech although the Founders had no such intent. He went on, "So as we join in prayer, we remember that this is a nation of Christians and Muslims and Jews and Hindus and non-believers." Yes ... a second reference to the atheists but this time he added Muslims, Jews and Hindus. I guess the Buddhists can fend for themselves.

CAP AND TAX - Greenpeace has come out against the "Cap and Trade" legislation because it does not do enough damage to the lives of human beings. But this multibilion dollar boondoggle that threatens to shut down the few remaining factories in the United States and ship the jobs to India and China, is still marching its way through Pelosi's radical leftist House of Representatives. I would panic like everyone else if I didn't know that the bill has virtually no chance of passage in the Senate. Democrat Senators from farm states and those few industrial areas left will not vote for it. It's dead .... BUT ... I encourage everyone to keep calling and writing the wackos in the House. They need to hear from real people.

SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES GET OUT - Every time there is a sex scandal in the Republican Party the media, including the conservative media, immediately claim that kicking social conservatives out will fix the problem. Within the last ten days, two rising stars in the GOP have admitted cheating on their wives. First it was Senator Ensign of Nevada and then Gov. Sanford of South Carolina. The economic conservatives believe that they can attract the homosexuals and radical feminists to vote Republican based on tax issues if the "moral Platform" of the party is abandoned. Yeah, right ... If I walk away from the GOP I am sure that the president of NOW will rush right in to fill the void.

CHRISTIAN YOUTH CAMP IN JORDAN NEEDS WATER - There is a Christian camp for youth in Jordan, which is one of the few Middle Eastern nations that still has a sizable Christian population. I cannot name the camp here, or tell about its location. I can tell you that because of the nature of the geography of Jordan, water must be trucked in each day to the camp. Every week there is a new group of about 200 youths who come to the camp from various churches. During the course of the summer thousands of young people from kindergarten through high school will attend Vacation Bible School at the camp. This summer the water will cost $5,000 to purchase and truck into the camp. All contributions received at our web site this week will go to the camp for the purpose of purchasing the water.
