by David A. Hoekema Few moral and theological positions are as deeply cherished by their adherents, yet so quickly dismissed by their opponents, as pacifism. The moral legitimacy of using violence is among the most urgent issues of our time, and yet its discussion slips quickly into an exchange of stereotypes. Pacifists are to [...] Most Evangelical Leaders Still Support Iraq War Most evangelical leaders still support the war in Iraq and want the United States to “stay until the job is done,” according to a survey released Monday. How can one love the enemy, love their enemy, if one kills them? That is not possible. If Christ did [...] WASHINGTON — After more than a year of wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory on Tuesday by voting to broaden the government’s spy powers and to give legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush’s program of eavesdropping without warrants. One by one, the Senate rejected amendments that [...] Human ID Chips Get Under My Skin The technology is available, but the potential for misuse is almost limitless. Our columnist takes you through the dangers of this futuristic process by David H. Holtzman While it’s easy to reject the notion of placing little ID chips inside humans as an ominous Orwellian invasion of [...] A Christian friend sent me this link and asked me for my thoughts: Gingrich Speech Well, I tried reading through this, but Gingrich’s “god-like” summary of each State in the Middle East is both vastly complicated and vastly simplistic (and vastly arrogant, I might add). What does God have to do with the kingdoms of [...] By Aaron Klein JERUSALEM – Palestinians yesterday tried to burn down Joseph’s Tomb – Judaism’s third holiest site – according to Palestinian security officials speaking to WND. It marks the second time the Palestinians attempted to burn down the tomb, located near Nablus, the biblical city of Shechem. Joseph’s Tomb is the believed burial [...] THE RISE OF THE IMPERIAL CLASS McCAIN IS THEIR AVATAR By: Justin Raimondo (For more on John McCain and his well-moneyed leftist ties, see this article) Matt Welch, the new editor of Reason, gave a talk at the Cato Institute about his new book, John McCain: the Myth of a Maverick, in which he [...] by Tom Engelhardt I’m an innumerate, but the figures on this — the saddest story of our Iraq debacle — are so large that even I can do the necessary computations. The population of the United States is now just over 300,000,000. The population of Iraq at the time of the U.S. invasion [...] Obama Delivers Bold Speech About War on Terror Presidential Candidate Pushes Aggressive Stance Toward Pakistan ABC News – In a strikingly bold speech about terrorism Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Sen.

How is it that people who have the benefit of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and the warning and insight of the Sacred Scriptures–not to mention a [...] By Tom Ambrose February 8, 2008 When the people of the United States re-elected Bill Clinton to the U.S. presidency, many people saw that outcome to be the result of the pernicious immorality and retarded public-education standards that have infected America for the past 50 years. Perhaps we can similarly account for liberal John [...] By answering a series of questions about major issues, you can quickly learn which candidates are most closely aligned with your views.

Select A Candidate surveys are available for these [...] By Ian Brockwell With Mitt Romney dropping out of the Presidential race and Mike Huckabee likely to join him very soon, the mainstream media will soon be faced with a situation they never thought possible (and tried their best to avoid), a head-to-head between John McCain and the “people´s champion” Ron Paul! Sure, the [...] Clearly spooked by a few of Rep. Ron Paul’s second-place finishes kind of close behind him, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Romney was so flustered in his dropout speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee in Washington Thursday, that he didn’t even [...] A broch! Today the AP wire reports that James Dobson, one of the doyen’s of evangelical Christian leadership, has backed Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid, giving the former Arkansas governor a long-sought-after endorsement from one of the big macher’s of the “Christian right.” Aroysgevorfen! Newsflash to Dr. Dobson — Mike Huckabee, who is apparently a big fan [...] The California Election results appear to be totally fraudulent, no question about it. They did not count one vote! And it’s easy for anyone to see, look at the election results by district, in all 53 districts: http://vote.ss.ca.gov/Returns/rcd/all.htm I don’t believe the election results, because the results are essentially the same in every district [...] Last month I shared with you about the discovery of a stone seal that dated back to the time of the First Temple. The seal, found during an archaeological excavation just outside Jerusalem by archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, purportedly had the name Temach (Neh. 7:55) inscribed in Ketav Ivri(First Temple Script). However, Ryan Byrne of [...] Waterboarding is legal, White House says
WASHINGTON — The White House said Wednesday that the widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding is legal and that President Bush could authorize the CIA to resume using the simulated-drowning method under extraordinary circumstances. [The Bush Administration] is prepared to use the same kinds of tactics used by [...] I will be deleting many of my previous blog entries. What I will do with this site is now an open question. Shalom chaverim Real ID became law not through the usual legislative process, but instead as part of a mammoth Iraq spending and Asian tsunami bill, the “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005.” Religious minorities face Real ID crackdown SOURCE All your emails belong to us What: The Justice Department asks a judge to approve Patriot Act e-mail monitoring without any evidence of criminal behavior.

Come with us peaceably, or we will be forced to taser you…. ================== DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Police officers in Daytona Beach [...] Baghdad is drowning in sewage, thirsty for water and largely powerless, an Iraqi official said on Sunday in a grim assessment of services in the capital five years after the US-led invasion. One of three sewage treatment plants is out of commission, one is working at stuttering capacity while a pipe blockage in the [...] “SUPER TUESDAY” – THE HERDING TECHNIQUE By: Devvy Kidd In his Treatise on War, Sun Tzu, said: “Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.” It is this strategy in the art of war which we are seeing once again in a presidential primary. Predictably, the two “main” political [...] The world is full of bad news. Just today I read about an independent study of war Iraq casualties conducted in the UK that indicates that perhaps over 1,000,000 people — nearly 20 percent of all Iraqi households — have endured a death in the family due to US-led invasion of Iraq (not to mention injuries [...] As Many As 121 Army Soldiers Committed Suicide in 2007, a Jump of Some 20 Percent Over 2006 PAULINE JELINEK AP News Jan 31, 2008 09:26 EST As many as 121 Army soldiers committed suicide in 2007, a jump of some 20 percent over the year before, officials said Thursday.

The president signed what Congress has given him so far [...] DEADLY HUBRIS By: Justin Raimondo The UK’s Opinion Research Business has released another statistical study of Iraqi casualties since the launching of the American invasion, one that updates, revises, and essentially confirms their earlier estimate of a million-plus dead.
