Ted Rudow III,MA Anti-Americanism
We sympathize with those who lost their loved ones and their livelihoods, and with the poor children who lost their parents, or the people who were left injured, maimed or burned. The Lord Himself grieves for them, and His heart is greatly touched by this calamity. At the same time, there are lessons to learn from this tragedy, for both America and the world. One is that advanced technology is no guarantee of the safety and security of a nation; only the Lord is. Many nations have sympathy for America in the face of her great loss, but as Americans lash out aggressively at anyone they think is against them, anyone they perceive as being hostile, then the sympathy will fade fast. And in the end, many countries will be more anti-American than they ever were in the past. Why will there be anti-Americanism? Because of the actions and attitudes of Americans themselves, sad to say. Instead of seeing themselves as others see them, many will persist in looking at the world only through a nationalistic American lens and viewpoint, so they'll reap antagonism instead of support.

George Bush
Sacbee: Opinion NewsletterBlogs Cartoons Daily Debate Editorials Forum Letters Peter Schrag: Sept. 11 six: Is America in a war without end?
George Bush
To move the world along toward the End quickly, that man is George Bush. That does not mean that he is the best man, but that he is best for that position for now, to turn the world against America. America will get the leader that she deserves. She has become an ungodly nation, and the majority of her people will elect an ungodly ruler to lead them”for "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. But wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matthew 7:13,14). Judge not by the outward appearance of the candidates, but by their heart and actions. For there are those among these contenders who will draw nigh to Him with their mouth, and honor Him with their lips, but their heart is far from Him (Matthew 15:8). Many have left the idealism of their youth behind and have turned aside toward glory, power, and even covetousness.

Any parting words for Gonzales?
Editor,
The words of politicians, Orwell wrote, are "designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." In "1984" is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. It incessantly relays messages from the party and simultaneously allows the dreaded "thought police to tune into the activities of any individual at any given time."

America's good memory?

"It was desirable to make sure that the Japanese were the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors" Henry Stimson,Secretary of War Arthur McClenn was a officer in Naval intelligence and believed that war with Japan soon. He develop a 8 Point Plan, a pre-war plan that would allow Japanese attack on U.S. He gave it to Roosevelt in secrecy. The day after McClenn gave the plan to him, he acted it out! Thus U.S acted before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor! The only way America can have plenty is with war. American economy, Western economy, Capitalist economy can thrive only on war. God is the only One who can give them peace and plenty at the same time.--I mean all that they need. As long as a nation demands more than they need, in other words more than plenty, they demand absolute excess, extravagant luxury.--They have to rob the poor to get it, and to rob the poor to get it they have to wage war. Almost all American industries, even non-war industries, are making money at the expense of the poor of other nations of the world. So the Iraqi war is the same.The only thing that would ever stir up the Americans to really howl is if their favourite TV show got pre-empted, or if the government should clamp down on their gasoline.

Rumsfeld will be joining the ranks of the Hoover Institution as a distinguished visiting fellow, the University announced Friday afternoon.

Instead of seeing themselves as others see them, many will persist in looking at the world only through a nationalistic American lens and viewpoint, so they'll reap antagonism instead of support. The U.S. is the proudest nation on the face of the Earth, and in their pride they even wage war in the name of peace. They hold so much power in the world today due to their military might and financial power, and they are able to push their agendas and get other countries to buy into them. But their pride and their arrogance irritate and exasperate many countries of the world, and this war will bring about more and more division between the governments of the world. Money markets will continue to become more and more unstable. The wealth and riches of the U.S. will be sapped by this war, and the distrust of the rest of the world will bring about more and greater division in finances as well as in political matters. The economies will fall now. They will come up for a few more gasps of air, but this has been the fatal blow that will bring them down. There's still a little time left in which the economies will float above the crisis, but not for long. They will be surfacing for gasps of air, but then submerging again, much as a drowning man who goes down longer and longer after each desperate gasp at the surface, until he surfaces no more.

Delay
Sacbee: Opinion NewsletterBlogs Cartoons Daily Debate Editorials Forum Letters Kathryn Jean Lopez: Politics' sinful use of religionFriday, August 31, 2007 DelayFormer Rep. Tom DeLay was on the Chris Matthews' Hardball, discussed the political career of Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, as fellow Republicans called for his resignation and party leaders ousted him from his committee leadership posts amid the fallout over his arrest in a men's room and his guilty plea in the case. A growing of Republican leaders including, former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.),I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Representative Randy Cunningham, a Republican from San Diego and others yet to be name, have already been indicted. Delay is hypocrite, pretending to be everybody's friend and nobody's enemy, when in their hearts they know exactly where they stand, and which way they'll go when the showdown comes, as many Republican leaders have. May God damn it for its subtle treacherous "neutrality" with the world--pretending to be a friend of both God and the world at the same time!

Sunday Sep 2nd, 2007 7:27 PM
The country whose warmongers daily slaughter or support the slaughter of innocents is more than deserving of such punishments and terror. These who strike fear daily into the hearts of poor, struggling third world nations, who have done nothing to ease the sufferings of the Palestinians, these deserve to have their own people, their own country, their own government, their own economy, hurt. And those who would sacrifice some of their own people to gain political or economic benefits are the most wicked of all.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are you who promote peace, who fight for peace, who strive to live the love and peace that He preached. Those who thirst for blood, the warmongers, are the curse.

Librarians are not the threatEditor,Once President Bush reauthorized the Patriot Act, the FBI lifted the librarians’ gag order. This eliminated the possibility that the NSL provisions would be struck down. Today, the librarians are the only ones who can talk about life with an NSL gag, despite the likelihood that there are hundreds if not thousands of other similar stories out there. The prison term for violating the gag order was added to the reauthorized Patriot Act. The United States has reached a sorry state when librarians are considered a national security threat because they won’t turn over lists of books that people are checking out and reading. The real threat to America’s freedom is the hare-brained politicians and security officials who come up with such ideas and who are ready to throw innocent people into jail if they don’t comply with their unjust laws.

The real reason that he is saying is the Bush administration will never allow the Iranian government to open an oil exchange (bourse) that trades petroleum in euros. If that were to happen, hundreds of billions of dollars would come flooding back to the United States crushing the greenback and destroying the economy. This is why Bush and Co. are planning to lead the nation to war against Iran. It is straightforward defense of the current global system and the continuing dominance of the reserve currency, the dollar. America monopolizes the oil trade. Oil is denominated in dollars. America's currency monopoly is the perfect pyramid-scheme. As long as nations are forced to buy oil in dollars, the United States can continue its profligate spending with impunity. (The dollar now accounts for 68% of global currency reserves, up from 51% just a decade ago). Even though the Bush administration has said that it will perpetuate the deficit-producing tax cuts. US has over-extended itself, it has lived beyond its income. It is living on borrowed money and borrowed time, and some day soon it's going to have to pay. The price of gas in the U.K is now $7.00 a gallon, but Americans love and worship their cars. The claim that Iran is developing nuclear weapons is a mere pretext for war.

Bloodbath?
The president said today that a hasty withdrawal would unleash a bloodbath in Iraq reminiscent of the Vietnam War era. Mr. Bush accused the Congress of planning to pull the rug out from under American troops. He said the American pullout from Vietnam more than 32 years ago was to blame for millions of deaths in Cambodia and Vietnam, and for putting a dent in American credibility that lasts to this day. To the horrified dismay of the apparently now small minority of truly peace-loving, fair-minded and liberal Americans, Bush was again seeking to justify his stand. But God had to expose both him and his murderous majority and so that the world would know that evidently the vast majority of Americans are for wealth, war, oppression and selfish exploitation. If the general American public now permit their dirty-dealing President to get away with his illegal, underhanded crimes and criminal obstructions of justice and suppressions of the truth, it is beyond me!Ted Rudow III,MA

The president said today that a hasty withdrawal would unleash a bloodbath in Iraq reminiscent of the Vietnam War era. Mr. Bush accused the Congress of planning to pull the rug out from under American troops. He said the American pullout from Vietnam more than 32 years ago was to blame for millions of deaths in Cambodia and Vietnam, and for putting a dent in American credibility that lasts to this day. To the horrified dismay of the apparently now small minority of truly peace-loving, fair-minded and liberal Americans, Bush was again seeking to justify his stand. But God had to expose both him and his murderous majority and so that the world would know that evidently the vast majority of Americans are for wealth, war, oppression and selfish exploitation. If the general American public now permit their dirty-dealing President to get away with his illegal, underhanded crimes and criminal obstructions of justice and suppressions of the truth, it is beyond me!Ted Rudow III,MA

Real threat to U.S.

Real threat to U.S.
Once President Bush reauthorized the Patriot Act, the FBI lifted the gag order on librarians. This eliminated the possibility that the “National Security Letter” provisions would be struck down.Today, librarians are the only people who can talk about life with an NSL gag, despite the likelihood that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of similar stories out there. The prison term for violating the gag order was added to the reauthorized Patriot Act.America has reached a sorry state when librarians are considered a national security threat because they won’t turn over lists of books that people are checking out and reading. The real threat to America’s freedom is the hairbrained politicians and security officials who come up with such ideas and who are ready to throw innocent people into jail if they don’t comply with their unjust laws.

You reap what you sow
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Aug 22nd, 2007
America has armed Israel since its beginning and the horrible results of what Israeli weapons have done to Arab nations. The U.S. reaped a very small fraction of what it has sown in the form of bloodshed and terror, the devastation and death it has made possible by its arms sales and its pro-Israel foreign policy.
-->
And the U.S. hasn't even begun to reap the hatred it has sown in the Mideast and elsewhere, both because of its own wars, military interventions, missile strikes, murderous raids and assassinations and more. But the Lord keeps good books, and in His good time, He'll balance the accounts, rewarding every man and every nation according to their works, good for good and evil for evil. When people not only refuse to show justice and mercy and love and compassion for others, but go further and even persecute and slaughter others and commit all sorts of atrocities, and refuse to repent of their evil, despite much time and mercy and longsuffering and many opportunities from the Lord, He's forced to take action. He's a just God, as well as a loving one.

Is Clinton the womant he prophet foretold?
Hillary Clinton's strong beliefs have been exposed in various publications. She's on the wrong side of everything. She's for abortion; she's for gay rights; she's against home schooling; she's for children's rights against their parents; and she's for children suing their parents, and on down the line. Before William Branham died, that great and humble prophet, one of the last revelations and visions he had was that the final ruler of the United States, who would bring the United States to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful but very cruel woman.

Global Military
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Aug 18th, 2007
Global military spending rose 3.5 percent last year to $1.2 trillion as U.S. costs for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan mounted, a European research body said in its annual study. The United States spent $529 billion, nearly what the rest of the world combined spent, on military operations in 2006, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said in its latest yearbook.
-->
The $1.2 trillion sum is ten times the annual net development aid paid out by all rich countries. Imagine how much better off the world would be if all this money had gone to food and clean water and shelter and necessities, rather than the waste of war and its weaponry! Wars of the future may be fought just to run the machines that fight them.

Norquist: The architect's great projectWednesday, August 15, 2007 Rove endKarl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, marking a turning point for the Bush presidency.Mr. Rove's departure removes one of the White House's most polarizing figures, and perhaps signals the effective end of the lame duck administration's role in shaping major domestic policy decisions, where the former Texas political consultant was a driving force. This is also the most important psychology of the magician who specializes in tricks known as sleight-of-hand. And Rove is the expert in this! Rove first evidenced a penchant for dirty tricks during his high school years, when the "classic nerd" pulled mental fakeouts on opponents in debate tournaments. Rove cares not a whit for the trail of political bodies he's left strewn in his wake. I have the feeling that it was sort of going to his head. A leader gets a little puffed up in his head and begins to think he's really a god. Delusion may take on many forms and is commonly understood, such delusions include grandeur, importance, wealth, religious delusions are common,inappropriate moral/ethical values and extreme alienation.

Bridge crumbled like America crumbles
Editor,She is crumbling and will continue to crumble under the weight and pressure of the repercussions of this mighty blow of the decay of the cities. It’s going to be the belly button of the whirlpool that will drain America of its resources. Pain and suffering have been poured out on others for years by the Americans. America struggles to hold on to its wealth. Half a trillion dollars is wasted in Iraq and the Mideast. Instead of helping the poor, she conquers and destroys the poor. She’d been living on borrowed money all the time and wasn’t even raising enough money for her current expenses, much less to pay back her debts.

Steroids users not kids' idols
Editor,
I believe Nathan Mollat when he proclaims how parents who allow their children to idolize Barry Bonds is beyond him. ("Sports Lounge" in the July 31 edition of the Daily Journal) Clearly, many things are beyond the mental grasp of Nathan Mollat.
"Parents are nuts not to let their kids know that many professional athletes are not the people to emulate. Forget the baseball aspect, the media paints Bonds as not a nice guy. Why parents would allow their children to idolize Bonds is beyond me. When I was growing up, I never looked at professional athletes as heroes or as someone after which to pattern my life. Maybe I'm in the minority."
Here, Here for Nathan! He had the guts to say it!!!
The link toward violence and steroids is a fact! "How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs; how they understand the alleged steroid-violence link..." ("Bodybuilding, Drug and Risk," Lee Monaghan)
It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it!
Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily bad for our kids' behavior, clearly something is going on here. Parents, school administrators and coaches need to get a grip on it."

U.S. wars, U.S. slaves
As for terrorism, the United States has sponsored terrorist groups in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Cuba, El Salvador, Congo, Nicaragua, Angola, Sudan and Indonesia. The U.S. tried to assassinate Egypt’s president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Iran’s Islamic leadership, that crazy Ghadafi in Libya. Nearly every one of America’s wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory or oil. My God, how many wars have been fought in the name of freedom?American people are slaves, too, total slaves of their government.

Fall of the US EmpireSacbee: Opinion Newsletter
Rod Dreher: Fall of the U.S. empireThursday, August 2, 2007 To hold to it wealthShe is crumbling and will continue to crumble under the weight and pressure of the repercussions of this mighty blow of the decay of the cities! It's going to be the belly button of the whirlpool that will drain America of its resources. Pain and suffering have been poured out on others for years by the Americans. America struggles to hold on to its wealth. 1/2 trillion dollar is wasted in Iraq and the Mideast. Instead of helping the poor, she conquers and destroys the poor. She'd been living on borrowed money all the time and wasn't even raising enough money for her current expenses, much less to pay back her debts. Ted Rudow III,MA

Scope?
SAN FRANCISCO
THE EXAMINER/INDEPENDENT Weekend Edition,August 5-6, 2006
FROM READERS:
'Islamo-fascists'
“President George W. Bush understands the scope of the worldwide assault on freedom posed by the Islamo-fascists,” according to Karen King, chairwoman of the San Mateo County Republican Party.
And those who call themselves Christians and loudly proclaim their love of God, but then even more loudly beat the drums of war and rain death and destruction on the innocent while at the same time filling the coffers of their masters and cronies with the profits of war, make His name and those who are called by His name to stink in the nostrils of the world.
These do abominable works in His name, and so do more to hamper His cause than those who actively fight. These shall reap the wrath of both man and God for their hypocrisy and wickedness.
That statement is why she is so ignorant about of the rest of the world! And so the U.S. has done much to destroy any peace!

Morals Must Be Taught
As difficult a decision it was to make to forfeit the season, Sequoia High Principal Morgan Marchbanks said it was necessary to preserve the school’s integrity.
“I think the sports program is integral to high school. But our model of teaching morals is paramount,” Marchbanks said. “While this was a painful action to take, we had to clean our house in order to set an example.”
I went to Menlo-Atherton High School and played basketball from 1967-1970. I also played with Charles Johnson at Cal, who was the best basketball player ever at Sequoia High. I was an academic counselor at San Jose State University in the ’90s.
More than half of the freshman class at San Jose State Unversity took remedial English and math. It was the dumbing down of the academic standards and now any school’s moral integrity.
For students, it has meant wholesale confusion about moral values: learning to question values they have scarcely acquired, unlearning values taught at home, and concluding that questions of right and wrong are always merely
subjective.
It is because the failure of moral education in the schools. In brief, students are being taught by the wrong method — a method that looks more and more like a fad that won’t go away.
It has meant that the development of moral education curriculums has been turned over to theorists who have repeatedly expressed disdain for concepts such as virtue, character and good example; the same theorists have dismissed past culture and history as being irrelevant to the search for values.

U.S. pushes for democracy until the wrong side wins - Article Comments
1/31/06
The future of the Middle East entered a new era of uncertainty Thursday, as the militant Palestinian opposition group Hamas snatched power from the ruling old guard and made skeptics of many key players in the peace process. "There was a peaceful process as people went to the polls. And that's positive," Bush said. While he reiterated that the United States will not deal with the organization as long as it seeks Israel's destruction, he called.
U.S. isn't really against terrorists; it's just against terrorists who aren't its friends and allies! After all, if it were against terrorists, it would be against Israel, against the various Israeli governments which have thrown the Palestinians off their land and seized it, bulldozed their houses, torn up their olive trees and orchards, herded the people into virtual concentration camps, shot their children for throwing stones, etc.
So as far as I'm concerned, that is one more nail in both Israel's and the U.S.' coffin! Because the World is going to demand justice for the Palestinians and I don't think it is going to be very far away.

America and the endless war
Editor,
President Bush vigorously defended his decision to continue spying on Americans, stating that it had helped in the fight against terrorism.
However, in all actuality, the United States has sponsored terrorist groups in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Cuba, El Salvador, Congo, Nicaragua, Angola, Sudan, and Indonesia. The United States even tried to assassinate Egypt’s president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, eliminate Iran’s Islamic leadership and get rid of that crazy Gadhafi in Libya.
Nearly every one of America’s wars has been either for some kind of trade advantage, for money, for territory or for oil.
Not against terrorism!
America has waged many horrible wars during its existence, and one day it will pay the full price for them. The Lord’s word is true, sure and steadfast — we reap what we sow, whether good or bad.
“The Endless War” — war and glorifying war is a part of the American culture, what the country was built on and thrives on!
War is how the country was won and how it grew from coast to coast, fighting the British, the Indians, the Spanish, the French and others, slaughtering multitudes.
And when the Lord returns to rule in righteousness, He’ll do away with war, and men will beat their swords into plowshares, thank God!

Bush's war and the religious right Ted Rudow III,MA (650-814-1077 or Tedr77@aol.com)
No matter how bad it gets, nothing seems to change Americans' support for war, which for some reason is stiffest among Christian supporters of the Bush administration. Bush's war is working, do not seek out evidence of the maiming and killing of our troops or of Iraqi civilians, have been immunized against thinking for themselves or doubting the Bush administration with certain Bible verses.
You just can't imagine people in this supposedly civilized age of intelligent sane people, even many Christians, actually going to war. Their whole culture is to blame – A culture that says war is all right, that it's legitimate to tear bodies apart and destroy the lives of men, women and children. You just can't imagine civilized people talking calmly about it. War is insanity! They're declaring war in the name of peace.
The government propagandizes people in so many ways to try to make their war justified. It's amazing just how easily the sheep are led astray. It's insanity; it's a power lust. They don't care how many lives they throw away just to get their own way.
We will continue to slide into the kind of moral relativism that causes others to wonder why we are so bloodthirsty. When all they're doing is trying to possess the oil! As Bush even said in one of his first speeches about this crisis, "To preserve our way of life." That's all America's concerned about!

Editor,
It’s not just the issue of abortion. Judge Samuel Alito supports giving unprecedented powers to the executive branch, meaning George W. Bush, with no oversight and no checks on his power. This represents a radical view of presidential authority, extending to the point of overriding Congress’ jurisdiction in passing laws.
The only way that the president can get a dictatorial control on the country is to get control of the Supreme Court. If any two of those can get together, they can control the other. Well, it’s not likely the Supreme Court and Congress are going to make a dictator because there are plenty of both of them. It’s not likely that the president is going to be able to control the Congress too well and become a dictatorship. But if he can get control of five men or women.
He can then tell them what he wants and what he doesn’t want. He can have them declare any law that he doesn’t like unconstitutional, because it’s purely a matter of opinion, judicial opinion. Then the Congress is totally hamstrung.
They are absolutely ineffective because they cannot pass one single law against him. The Supreme Court will throw it out as unconstitutional. He can declare any law unconstitutional he doesn’t like, so that they can’t do anything unless they pass laws to suit him.

To the Editor:
When the British were in charge of Palestine, Menachem Begin was a Jewish terrorist belonging to the Irgun Gang, who shot British in the back just because they had a uniform on. They went around blowing up police barracks and shooting the British as well as the Arabs, and did some of the most dastardly deeds you could possibly imagine, horrible atrocities.
Begin, the past president of the Jewish state, and they will still have nothing to do with any peace settlements which involve those PLO "terrorists" after over 30 years. They will not talk to them or sit at the same table with them.
They grab off a few countries that have oil - first Iraq, then Iran - and they can do it under the excuse of saving Israel. The only thing that'll ever stop them is rationing. However, I have an idea that rather than have their gasoline rationed and their vacations shortened and their big cars cut down, the Americans would much prefer to go to war and steal it. Oil consumption in U.S. has not gone down the slightest bit.

There's no debate about what to call this day -- Merry Christmas!
Editor -- Rejoice this Christmas!
There's never been a time in all of history when the world has been in such sin and sorrow as it is now. There's so much talk about the advancement and betterment of mankind -- advanced medicine, modern technology, new inventions, better governments to make it a better world to live in -- so much talk of progress, when in reality things are regressing all the more.
Look around. You can't deny it.
What better way to live Christmas each and every day of the year than to continually give to those around you, to truly live how He taught us, to show His love in all the little ways throughout the day. It's just human nature to sometimes confuse the words you say, but there's no confusion when they see it put into practice.
It's like that poem by Edgar A. Guest, which says: "I'd rather see a sermon, than to hear one any day. I'd rather one would walk with me than merely tell the way. For most people to accept the truth, they not only need to hear the sermon, but they need to see the sample as well.''
Be the living sample of the message, the living proof that it works! This is the real meaning of Christmas.

There is much more to Christmas
published: Sunday | December 11, 2005
The Editor, Sir:
Christmas Day gets lost in the days and weeks surrounding it. In fact, many Christmas cards and signs simply state 'Season's Greetings' with no mention of Christmas. Now it's a 'holiday tree' rather than a 'Christmas tree'. They even call it 'XMAS' to cross Jesus out of Christmas. In other words, to take Christ out of Christmas. In some cities, all you ever see are signs of 'Xmas Holidays', 'Xmas Sale', 'Xmas Shopping', 'Xmas, Xmas, Xmas'. They wouldn't think of putting up 'Christmas', that's the name of Jesus Christ!
And, of course, they've got a new god called Santa Claus, who is really the big department store! One of the horrible horrors of it is that when they teach their children about Santa Claus, and then they start teaching them about Jesus, the truth and the real story and meaning of Christmas, the poor kids think, "Oh, this is just another stupid idiotic fairytale like the one you told me about Santa Claus!"
There's so much more to Christmas than trees, decorations, Santa Claus, presents and all the make-believe and materialism associated with it today. Christmas is celebrating the day that God sent his love into the world, in the form of a tiny, weak and helpless baby, almost 2,000 years ago! He was born to a simple, humble, young woman who miraculously conceived, having never slept with any man. In fact, the news of her pregnancy was so shocking that when the man she was going to marry learned about it, he promptly decided to break the engagement and call off the wedding, until a powerful, heavenly being intervened and convinced him to stay with her and rear and protect this very special child she was carrying. Merry Christmas!

The truth about Santa; a milestone on the road of life?
Posted 12/05/2005
So many people are in need at Christmas, wanting love, feeling lonely, needing comfort and assurance that they matter. So many others are giving gifts at Christmas, hurrying here and there to buy things, to find the perfect present, to not be caught short having forgotten someone. ... But does all that material gift-giving really make a difference? Of course it can be a help, but think of those who are lonely, the ones who are hoping for a little company, a little friendship, someone they can connect with. What would they appreciate most?
Why don't you give yourself this Christmas? Why don't you give of your time to talk to someone, to invite them into your home for a bit or to visit them in theirs? Why don't you see what you can do to make a difference in someone else's life? If they're interested and ready for it, why don't you tell them about Jesus, and how He can warm every corner of their heart? They'll be glad you did, and so will Jesus! In fact, that's the very best gift you can give to Jesus on His birthday, because He wants nothing more than for others to know Him and His Father's love.
His Gospel is love. Will you live it? Will you give it? You might not feel equal to the task, but God is, and He'll help you if you try.

A child without a mother or a father is missing out
Posted 11/28/2005
I've never seen a child yet that didn't need a father or a father image, somebody to play the part of a father. But I'll tell you I've sure seen some kids without fathers who sure needed them! They needed a father's heavy hand to straighten them out when the mother didn't have what it took.
There aren't too many women capable of being both a mother and a father to a child. They don't have the guts, firmness and hardness that it takes to lay down the law. Fathers are usually the disciplinarians of the family who won't let the kids get away with it and who really sock it to them. Every child needs a father. Especially as he grows older he needs a father more than a mother. A father comes into the picture loud and clear in the later years when the child really needs discipline and strength.
It's alot like our relationship with God: in some ways the Holy Spirit is like a mother, sweet, loving, gentle; the Spirit that conceives a spiritual babe, brings it to birth & bears it and gives birth to to a new-born babe in the Kingdom of God, a Child of God. But as we grow older and become aware of what's going on we're apt to need a father's image of God Himself and be more afraid of Him than we are of the Holy Spirit, a gentle wooing dove-afraid of His word of correction and His judgements and His very heavy hand that enforces His strict rules. So that's the way I see it.
The babies and children are not just womens' work! God gives a baby and both the father and mother had better want it. I can't imagine why they wouldn't want babies! Especially when it's a gift and a creation of God! You'd better want it and be thankful for it and start off by taking good care of the baby by taking good care of the mother! Any man who's not going to take good care of the mother is not going to take good care of the baby either, and that's plain pure selfishness! Very selfish! God give us fathers!

Only Bush's imaginary friend can help president out of mess
Posted 11/20/2005
Peace could have been given a chance, but Bush demanded peace only on his terms. He did not want to negotiate a settlement. He preferred confrontation, conflict and conquest. He wanted the world to see just how powerful America is so that no other upstart would try to take on America. His "Christian" conviction has instead become a "lying spirit" in his own mind and in the mouths of his advisers. And his self-righteousness has made him to stink in the nostrils of most of the world. No one loved Saddam, but now Bush has made him a martyr.
America is concerned for its own interests, and especially for the lifestyle of its people. Although the world envies that lifestyle, much of it is based on greed and selfishness, to the point that Americans feel they have a right to run the world and hog its resources. In their pride they even wage war in the name of peace. But their pride and their arrogance irritate and exasperate many countries of the world.
The wealth and riches of the U.S. will be sapped by this war, and the distrust of the rest of the world will bring about more and greater division in finances as well as in political matters. Again‚ this is but one more step in the sequence of events that are unfolding before you.

Is drilling oil in the Arctic Refuge a good way to achieve energy independence? NO
Posted 11/20/2005
So many of the things that America once gloried in have now been turned into shame! America gloried in having the strongest economy in the world. Her manufacturing base is now collapsing and the economy is in shambles. In the past ten years America has gone from being the world's greatest creditor nation to the number one debtor nation. America once gloried in her educational system, which has now fallen far behind that of most other industrial nations.
No other nation on earth embodies this prophetic picture of the "Great Whore" as much as materialistic America! (Revelation 18) God Himself will put it into the hearts of the coming One World Government to destroy her. Why would God allow a nation that once professed to be Christian to suffer a fiery nuclear annihilation? Because she had the Light of God's truth, and rejected it and went her own way.
Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the world’s attention. But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren’t enough to make a difference. It will be a while before the effects really start to be felt. Production will peak and then slowly fall away. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don’t expect a lot of publicity to be given to this. And then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed. But that’s the way it goes for true prophets.

Unholy terrors
Monday November 21, 2005
To the Editor:
In a Veterans Day speech at an Army depot here, Mr. Bush made his most aggressive effort to date to counter the charge that he had justified taking the United States to war by twisting or exaggerating prewar intelligence.
"In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow, between the crosses row on row." (There is a vast soldiers' graveyard there of little white crosses and flowers stretching as far as the eye can see, thousands upon thousands!)
You know, it's like all the cheers are gone, the cheers of the throngs to the passing parade, to the soldiers as they go to war. All the glory and the glamour as they march off to war as the people throng and cheer them - all of a sudden it's hushed! And then there they lie, silently, the biggest parade of all, and nobody cheers anymore, nobody cares, nobody even remembers!
They say they won their freedom at least, but what freedom? Freedom to fight another war? That's what happened. Freedom to fight another war, to lose more lives, kill more boys, lose more countries and lose more colonies and bankrupt their economies, so there's less freedom today than there was then. They didn't gain anything at all.
Nobody ever wins a war. Everybody loses: All the dead and broken bodies, suffering and sadness and sorrow and pain and hunger and grief and the mourning. Nobody ever wins. Everybody always loses.
War is hell. And the poor boys. They go through hell. A hell of a war that they didn't even want and had nothing to do with making, yet their dictators make them fight it like slaves, and they have to be the sufferers and losers. Well, there's coming a day when there'll be war no more, thank God. Until that time, don't let yourself be propagandized by war in the media. Man's wars aren't noble crusades, but unholy terrors.

Spreading horror
Editor,
Refugees continue to report the use of white phosphorous weapons - of seeing dead bodies with no bullet holes in them, just scorched patches of skin. A leading campaign group has demanded an urgent inquiry into a report that U.S. troops indiscriminately used a controversial incendiary weapon during the battle for Fallujah. Photographic evidence gathered from the aftermath of the battle suggests that women and children were killed by horrific burns caused by the white phosphorus shells dropped by U.S. forces.
The Pentagon has always admitted it used phosphorus during last year's assault on the city, which U.S. commanders said was an insurgent stronghold. But they claimed they used the brightly burning shells "very sparingly" and only to illuminate combat areas. A top United Nations human rights official has called for an investigation of alleged abuses in Fallujah including disproportionate use of force and the targeting of civilians.
The U.S. has declared "mission accomplished" in Fallujah, with the U.S. military claiming to have killed over 1,000 people in the week long assault. "They are dying of starvation and a lack of water, especially the children," a Red Crescent spokeswoman said. The wars and atrocities the United States has perpetrated and the weapons it has developed are simply horrendous.
The United States has been an agent of death and destruction in many third world nations, almost always leaving them in far worse shape than it found them. So the United States is no paragon of virtue, but the funny thing is that most Americans don't realize it, or if they do, then they don't generally care much about it. They maintain a mental image of the United States as the righteous, the virtuous, spreading peace and democracy everywhere it goes, and they quickly forget the horrors it spreads.

Jesus was NOT gay! As Michael Dingwall stated erroneously, "However, will our Christians accept Jesus if he was really a homosexual (or bisexual, at any rate)?--From these accounts and others not mentioned, it appears that Jesus did have a preference for guys.
The first thing St. John says in His Gospel is: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made" (Jn.1:1-3). It seems that only John really grasped the deepest and greatest meaning of Jesus, that Jesus was the Word of God, the Expression of God, the Love of God, as well as the Son of God! Jesus was most of
all the Word of God!
So in Genesis, because Jesus created everything "All things were made by Him", therefore Jesus created Adam and Eve! "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. So Jesus promoted sex! Male and Female, not sex-same or bisexual! GEN.2:25 -- And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

President Bush on Friday worked to smooth the United States' troubled image in Latin America, commending Argentina's efforts to improve its damaged economy. "The economy has changed in quite dramatic fashions thanks to the wise decisions you have made," Bush told the President of Argentina Nestor Kirchner.
"The economy has changed in quite dramatic fashions thanks to the wise decisions you have made," Bush told the President of Argentina Nestor Kirchner
"The leadership in Washington which dominates IMF policy is responsible for this economic catastrophe... Our political class bankrupted the country in the 1990s by implementing Washington's neo-liberal economic prescriptions." - Juan Luis Coraggio, Argentine economist and university rector.
By September 2001, Argentina had a total public foreign debt of at least $140bn, and perhaps as much as $160bn; its total indebtedness was perhaps $210bn. But austerity was the only weapon in the IMF's armory, each round deeper and bitterer than before. The Center for Child Nutrition Studies, which advises the World Health Organization, reports that one Argentine child in five is suffering from malnutrition, due to these conditions.

Spreading horror
Editor,
Refugees continue to report the use of white phosphorous weapons - of seeing dead bodies with no bullet holes in them, just scorched patches of skin. A leading campaign group has demanded an urgent inquiry into a report that U.S. troops indiscriminately used a controversial incendiary weapon during the battle for Fallujah. Photographic evidence gathered from the aftermath of the battle suggests that women and children were killed by horrific burns caused by the white phosphorus shells dropped by U.S. forces.
The Pentagon has always admitted it used phosphorus during last year's assault on the city, which U.S. commanders said was an insurgent stronghold. But they claimed they used the brightly burning shells "very sparingly" and only to illuminate combat areas. A top United Nations human rights official has called for an investigation of alleged abuses in Fallujah including disproportionate use of force and the targeting of civilians.
The U.S. has declared "mission accomplished" in Fallujah, with the U.S. military claiming to have killed over 1,000 people in the week long assault. "They are dying of starvation and a lack of water, especially the children," a Red Crescent spokeswoman said. The wars and atrocities the United States has perpetrated and the weapons it has developed are simply horrendous.
The United States has been an agent of death and destruction in many third world nations, almost always leaving them in far worse shape than it found them. So the United States is no paragon of virtue, but the funny thing is that most Americans don't realize it, or if they do, then they don't generally care much about it. They maintain a mental image of the United States as the righteous, the virtuous, spreading peace and democracy everywhere it goes, and they quickly forget the horrors it spreads.

Jesus was NOT gay! As Michael Dingwall stated erroneously, "However, will our Christians accept Jesus if he was really a homosexual (or bisexual, at any rate)?--From these accounts and others not mentioned, it appears that Jesus did have a preference for guys.
The first thing St. John says in His Gospel is: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made" (Jn.1:1-3). It seems that only John really grasped the deepest and greatest meaning of Jesus, that Jesus was the Word of God, the Expression of God, the Love of God, as well as the Son of God! Jesus was most of
all the Word of God!
So in Genesis, because Jesus created everything "All things were made by Him", therefore Jesus created Adam and Eve! "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. So Jesus promoted sex! Male and Female, not sex-same or bisexual! GEN.2:25 -- And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

President Bush on Friday worked to smooth the United States' troubled image in Latin America, commending Argentina's efforts to improve its damaged economy. "The economy has changed in quite dramatic fashions thanks to the wise decisions you have made," Bush told the President of Argentina Nestor Kirchner.

"The leadership in Washington which dominates IMF policy is responsible for this economic catastrophe... Our political class bankrupted the country in the 1990s by implementing Washington's neo-liberal economic prescriptions." - Juan Luis Coraggio, Argentine economist and university rector.
By September 2001, Argentina had a total public foreign debt of at least $140bn, and perhaps as much as $160bn; its total indebtedness was perhaps $210bn. But austerity was the only weapon in the IMF's armory, each round deeper and bitterer than before. The Center for Child Nutrition Studies, which advises the World Health Organization, reports that one Argentine child in five is suffering from malnutrition, due to these conditions.
