New Anti-faith bills launched in Congress

From the Desk of: Mat Staver

It is shocking how fast President Obama and Congress are moving. See below. --Mat

While most Americans are focusing on the economy, the stealth political attacks on our faith and freedoms are increasing!

Our staff at the Liberty Center for Law and Policy in our Nation's capital have alerted me to two bills in the 111th Congress that threaten to undermine the rights of people of faith.

These "hate crimes" statutes elevate "sexual orientation" to a special protected status and essentially criminalize Christian beliefs about marriage and homosexuality.

In addition, our sources now tell us that the Obama administration and Congress may well try to implement the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" by giving it a different name and avoiding a clear, honest vote in Congress.

+ + Is Obama using the economy as cover for his real agenda?

All this begs an important question...

If America is truly in the worst financial crisis in 70 years, why are President Obama and Congress unleashing new attacks almost daily on our faith and families?

The White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is on record as saying, "Never let a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things that you didn't think you could do before."

The so-called "stimulus" bill proved this point. Ultraliberal politicians are using people's fears as a cover for a massive political makeover of our Nation!

Their strategy is to profit off the misery of others in order to move forward a very liberal agenda. Such a strategy is just as deplorable for elected officials as the actions of profiteers who gouged people at the gas pumps following the hurricane Katrina disaster!

+ + Help me fight back

In the past month, we have launched a national radio program and expanded our grassroots team by tens of thousands. Our attorneys are already preparing legal strategies to fight these attacks of our faith and freedoms in court.

I expect that we will have to DOUBLE all our efforts -- in the courtrooms, in the media, through the Internet -- this year if we are going to have any chance to keep pace with these attacks.

We must greatly expand all our efforts in defense of faith, family and freedoms! But I cannot do that without your generous support.

Please... as the Lord leads... prayerfully consider how you can help Liberty Counsel with a special gift right now.

Thank you so much for your faithful support, and may God bless you and our Nation.

Worst case, we’ll just have to take our country back from these bozos.

Worst case; we’ll all be in jail for standing up for morality.

Does anyone know if the language passed in the stimulus bill that would keep religious groups from using facilities that took stimulus money?

Prepare to defend the First Amendment.

Then we will be in good company of the unknown thousands though the centuries that have done the same, including our Lord and Savior.

“I wouldn’t want God mad at me.”

He is mad at Obama, his cronies and those that voted for him. Count yourself lucky.

It’s time to holler ‘separation of church and state.’ Under the Constitution, government has no business dictating articles of religion or faith.

Ok, fine.

Is 3.5 billion years of human evolution wrong?

ALL mammals reproduce HETEROsexually - ALL of them; with the exception of those few sexually dysfunctional humans who abuse medical technology.

Pro-homosexual rationalizations don't stand up to logic rooted completely in secularism, either.

Correct, it's also constitutionally prohibited from implemented Secular Humanism (which the courts declared to be a religion) via legislative fiat.

None of this will matter to Comrade Chairman the “constitutional expert”.

The article mentions Rahm Emanuel. The special election, to replace him, has one conservative, Rosanna Puldio, the founder and director of the Illinois Minuteman Project, and I’m her volunteer coordinator. She’s pro-life and pro-gun rights. Please read her site, www.rosannapuldio2009.com. If you know anyone who want to volunteer for her, please ask them to email me at philacollins@yahoo.com. If you know anyone who want to donate, to her campaign, please ask them to do so, through her website.
