THE PRESIDENCY

DEMOCRAT SENATOR LECTURES OBAMA - Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) has written a letter to Barack Obama explaining to him a Constitutional issue he apparently does not understand. Obama has stated that he will make "binding" commitments at the "Global Warming" summit in Copenhagen while on his way to pick up his Nobel Peace prize for doing absolutely nothing. Senator Webb wrote: "I would like to express my concern regarding reports that the administration may believe it has the unilateral power to commit the government of the United States to certain standards that may be agreed upon ... The phrase 'politically binding' has been used. As you well know from your time in the Senate, only specific legislation agreed upon in the Congress, or a treaty ratified by the Senate, could actually create such a commitment on behalf of our country."

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TARGETS NAVY SEALS? - Did the Obama White House give the order to punish three Navy Seals who apprehended one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq? The Seals have captured Ahmed Hashim Abed who masterminded the murder of four Blackwater guards who were then burned and dragged through the city of Fallujah. Their burned bodies were hung on a bridge over the Euphrates River as trophies. Instead of getting a medal the three Seals now face a January court martial for assault because Mr. Abed (who sustained no detectable injuries) claimed he was slapped while in their custody. Those who serve our nation in the Armed Services cannot fight wars using the rules that are more binding than those of New York City policemen. We can't win wars with our warriors handcuffed.

THE CONGRESS

CONGRESS INVESTIGATES PARTY CRASHERS BUT NOT TERRORISTS - Congressman Pete Hoekstra (R-IN) wants to know why the House Homeland Security Committee commenced an investigation of the two White House Party crashes within a week, but has refused to investigate the Jihad shootings by Muslim officer Nidal Hasan. He has become so frustrated by the lack of Congressional action that he published an Op-ed. Read Congressman Hoekstra's Op-ed

SENATE CUTS MEDICARE - Senator McCain (R-AZ) offered an amendment to the Obama Care bill in the Senate that would mandate that other means than cutting half a trillion dollars from Medicare be found to pay for it. Democrats stuck together and killed the amendment forcing the huge cuts from Medicare services over the next ten years. Oddly, Democrat Senator Dodd (D-CT) said, "... there is not a single guaranteed benefit that will be cut under this bill. I defy anyone to find one!" How can any rational person believe that with millions of baby boomers being forced to enter the Medicare system beginning in 2011 a reduction in funding will allow the same benefits? Senator Dodd is either a liar or he is insane, take your pick.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

FORMER NAE OFFICIAL NOW WORKS FOR GEORGE SOROS - Rev. Richard Cizik was vice president for governmental affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals for ten years. During that time he claimed to be a Republican while promoting far left social issues. He wanted the NAE to endorse global warming and was fired when he endorsed same-sex relationships. Out of the NAE he now works for far left lunatic billionaire George Soros. See the official Soros announcement.

GLOBAL WARMING

THEY ARE PEOPLE HATERS - What are the real goals of those who promote a reduction in human activities to stop "global warming?" Below are some select quotes including one from Ted Turner, founder of CNN:

"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can't let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are." Michael Oppenheimer, Princeton professor and member of Environmental Defense Fund.

"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of the world resource situation." Paul Ehrlich, professor at Stanford University.

"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?" Maurice Strong, a native of Canada considered by some to be one of the leading environmentalists in the world. He is an official at the U.N.

"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy." Timothy Wirth, President of the U.N. Foundation and former Democratic U.S. senator from Colorado.

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony...climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world." Christine Stewart, former Canadian minister of the environment who led that country's delegation to Kyoto.

"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true." Paul Watson, co-founder of the environmental group Greenpeace.

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels would be ideal." Ted Turner, founder of CNN and major contributor to the U.N.

These "environmental leaders" know global warming is fake, but they want to use the concept to kill off most of the world's population. Think about this: President Barack Obama is headed to Copenhagen to help them!

INTERNATIONAL

ANOTHER CHURCH BOMBED IN IRAQ - Bombs were detonated in Mosul, Iraq at the Church of Saint Ephrem and the convent of the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catherine. The church is a total loss and the convent has been damaged heavily. The attack occurred two days ago and has been reported on Asian news sites but not a single American news agency has reported the attacks.

There was a commando style raid of about ten gunmen who stormed the Church of Saint Ephrem and ordered everyone out. They set the explosives around the building to make sure it would completely collapse. Everyone inside was ordered to leave and then the gunmen calmly proceeded to detonate explosives around the building. This was the same tactic used on the Bishop's home a few years before. Christians are not returning to Iraq from Jordan and Syria because of these kinds of continued attacks.

As Christmas approaches there are real needs for the Christian refugees. It gets bitter cold during the winter in Jordan and Syria. The Religious Freedom Coalition shipped tens of thousands of dollars of medical supplies to our ministry partner in Amman, Jordan just this week. Please help this cause with just a few dollars.
