Update on `Police Taser Pastor'

Mark Morales / NBC Dallas-Fort Worth:
Pastor zapped by police after getting involved in a traffic stop. Pastor Jose Elias Moran went to shocking heights to protect a member of his flock. Moran was tased and arrested after intervening when one of his parishioners was pulled over by police in the church parking lot. Congregants say they were in the Iglesia Profetica Peniel Church in Webster, Texas, on Wednesday morning for early prayer when Moran saw one of his congregants get pulled over by police. Moran went outside to find out what was going on and things turned ugly.

in front of congregants in church parking lot
NY Daily News
WEBSTER, Texas -- Police used a Taser on a pastor and pepper spray to disperse his congregants Wednesday after the pastor allegedly interfered with a traffic stop in the church parking lot. Congregants say they were in the Iglesia Profetica Peniel church for an early morning prayer when pastor Jose Elias Moran went to assist the stopped driver, a church member, by asking the police what had happened.

Officer Raymond Berryman Reportedly Tasers Pastor Jose Elias Moran,
Why Hasn't He Been Placed on Modified Duty and Taken off the Streets?
The Hinterland Gazette
Here we go. Another police officer goes berserk and Tasers an innocent person. Officer Raymond Berryman reportedly used a Taser on pastor Jose Elias Moran and used pepper spray to disperse his congregants yesterday at Iglesia Profetica Peniel church, located in Webster, Texas. Why? The pastor is said to have allegedly interfered with a traffic stop in the church's parking lot. Congregants said they were in the church for an early morning prayer when pastor Jose Elias Moran went to assist the stopped driver, a church member, by asking the police what had happened. I hope this incident was caught on the dashcam of the police officer's cruiser.

Republicans Banned at 2 Religious Universities

Fox News:
It's hard enough to be a Republican on most campuses these days. Now you can't even be a member of the Republican Club at two of America's most conservative colleges -- because the clubs have been banned. Liberty University in Virginia, which banned its College Democrat club in May for holding positions on abortion and gay marriage that were contrary to its conservative Christian values, recently de-listed its College Republican club as well.

Life, Liberty, and Property Are Inseparable

Tom Mullen / Campaign for Liberty:
"The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they chuse and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society, to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society: for since it can never be supposed to be the will of the society, that the legislative should have a power to destroy that which every one designs to secure, by entering into society, and for which the people submitted themselves to legislators of their own making; whenever the legislators endeavour to take away, and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience, and are left to the common refuge, which God hath provided for all men, against force and violence."

-- John Locke [Second Treatise of Government, (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Company, 1980) Pg. 111]

Taxation and Other Tyranny

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
As James Madison explained in Federalist Paper number 10, the federated design of our republic encourages economic competition. Each state government can either prosper or suffer depending on the wisdom of its policies regarding taxation and regulation. State governments do try to deflect those costs on the public, of course. One good example is offered in a recent Washington Times story describing how "Several states and the District of Columbia are tracking down smokers who buy cheaper cigarettes out of their jurisdictions and have even begun tax-collection procedures that can end in liens put against the offender’s property."

Ron Paul Strikes Gold

Chadwick Matlin / TheBigMoney.com:
Why the oft-marginalized congressman is the greatest threat to Obama's regulatory plan. Ron Paul's legislative history is a lesson in principled failure. Among the bills he has co-sponsored: ending U.S. cooperation with the United Nations, a repeal of antitrust law "to restore the inherent benefits of the market economy," and stripping the government of the right to set a minimum wage. Just last week, he again introduced a bill "to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990," which would presumably make schools less safe but which would reinforce our right to bear arms. For Paul, ideology almost always trumps politics.

'Fight Them Over There'

Ron Paul / The Washington Times:
There is no area in which Republicans have further strayed from our traditions than in foreign affairs. Generations of conservatives followed the great advice of our Founding Fathers and pursued a restrained foreign policy that rebuffed entangling alliances and advised America, in the words of John Quincy Adams, not to "go abroad looking for dragons to slay."

America's Praetorian Guard

Jack D. Douglas / LewRockwell.com:
Professional armies have traditionally been far more disciplined, especially under the stress of longer-run warfare. BUT that does not mean they have no turning points or breaking points. In Rome the professional, imperial guard, The Praetorian Guard, was highly disciplined and bore casualties well in the early years. But over the decades of imperial struggles and military in-breeding common to such armies largely cut off from the civil population, they became bored with routine, self-centered, arrogant, puffed up with their own importance, and started deposing and imposing emperors, forcing them to put more and more of the national wealth into the military and so on. The professional military became a tyrannical force no civilians could control, so it controlled them through their imposed emperors.

God Mocking Supreme Court Blocks Bible Club

The Associated Press:
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to stop the Kent School District from blocking a group of Christian students from forming a Bible club on a high school campus.

ORU Revamps

The Associated Press:
Workers are toiling in the thick summer heat, trying to bring the campus of Oral Roberts University into the current century. Parking lots are torn up on the 1960s-era grounds, dormitory walls have been stripped to the studs and crates of new stainless-steel appliances wait to be put in the cafeteria. ... [T]he once-tarnished university known for its 60-foot-high bronze sculpture of praying hands is emerging from the 2007 scandal with a new campus, hundreds of new donors, tens of millions of dollars in paid-off debt — and a new president. Mark Rutland, 61, takes office Wednesday and becomes the first person to lead the school without the surname of Roberts.

SBC Sever Ties With One Abomination

Associated Baptist Press:
It took messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting June 23 only 30 seconds to sever a 125-year relationship with a prominent Texas congregation because of the church's perceived toleration of gay members. Voting in the opening session of their annual meeting in Louisville, the messengers chose overwhelmingly to dismiss Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth. Editor note: Southern Baptists should sever ties with the Republican Party because of its affiliation with the same type of abomination. It is an abomination for Christians to be in political concord with the Republican Party -- approving of homosexuality.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
II Corinthians 6: 14-18

Police Taser Pastor Pepper Spray Church

The Associated Press:
Police used a Taser on a pastor and pepper spray to disperse his congregants Wednesday after the pastor allegedly interfered with a traffic stop in the church parking lot. Congregants say they were in the Iglesia Profetica Peniel church for an early morning prayer when pastor Jose Elias Moran went to assist the stopped driver, a church member, by asking the police what had happened. "They treated him as if he were a drug dealer or murderer, but he is a pastor that tries to help the community," Miguel Moran said. "The police always want to be right but they are not." Moran's wife, Maria, said she tried to help her husband after he was hit with the Taser but police threatened to arrest her. "My husband has a heart condition and with electrocution who knows what could've happened," Maria Moran said.

Ron Paul ...Will He Rise Again?

Doug Wead / MinistryValues.com:
Yesterday on Meet the Press, the declining prospects for the Republican Party were reviewed. The yawning conclusion was that no one can really challenge Barack Obama in 2012 and no one can revive the G.O.P. The prospects of all the possible candidates were assessed, but there was one glaring omission. Guess who?

Auditing the Fed Will Audit the State

George F. Smith / Mises.org:
If Ron Paul succeeds in getting the Fed audited, the consequences could be far-reaching. Assuming the audit isn't rigged to protect the guilty, as a similar bill was in 1978, the Fed will need every obfuscating Keynesian to testify and write editorials on its behalf, to reassure the public that monetary matters really are best left to the gods who rule us, such as Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner. Monetarists, too, would likely join the "Save the Fed" crusade, perhaps arguing that even a great free market economist like Milton Friedman considered the Fed useful for preventing and curing recessions.

Give me Money!

Gary DeMar / The American Vision:
The Bible does not minimize the importance of economics. The Garden of Eden makes mention of gold and precious stones: "The gold of that land is good" (Genesis 2:11-12). Jesus used money as a teaching device in many of His parables. John MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church, Panorama City, California, said that "16 out of 38 of Christ’s parables deal with money; more is said in the New Testament about money than heaven and hell combined; five times more is said about money than prayer; and while there are 500 plus verses on both prayer and faith, there are over 2,000 verses dealing with money and possessions."

Cap and Trade Equals Fraud and Tax

Glenn Jacobs / Campaign for Liberty:
H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 will result in a totalitarian centralization of the American economy in the administrative agencies of the federal government, especially the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This 1,300 page horror is a prime example of congressional modus operandi -- no one in Congress actually had the opportunity to read the bill which was, incidentally, being amended as it was debated on the floor. As H.R. 2454 shows, this axiom still holds true: the more benign the title of a congressional bill, the more draconian its contents. After all, who could be against clean energy or security? The real goal of H.R. 2454 has nothing to do with either of these; it is a power grab, pure and simple.

Obama's 'Climate Astrologer'

Marc Morano / NewsWithViews.com:
President Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu is at it again. Fresh off his declarations in May claiming computer model predictions as evidence of a certain climate catastrophe, (see: Climate Depot Exclusive: Sec. Chu's assertions 'quite simply being proven wrong by the latest climate data' - April 19, 2009), he has now gotten more bold, confidently predicting a certain climate catastrophe by the year 2109. (When he and everyone who hears his warning today will be unable to verify his predictions because they will be conveniently DEAD!)

Hundreds of Sodomites Gathered in White House

Abominations:
ABC News is reporting that hundreds of filthy sodomites gathered in the East Room of the White House Monday to "commemorate the 40th anniversary of the launch of the gay rights movement." For more information about this `Obamanation commemoration' listen to John Lofton's radio show "Obama Honors Homosexual Rioters". With such a concentration of sodomites in the White House, workers may not be able to remove the stench and defilement even by sanding the floors, ceilings and walls and using the strongest detergents and disinfectants. When the Obamas move out it may be best just to burn the place down and build a new one. --Jim Rudd

Independence Now And Forever

Chuck Baldwin / The Covenant News:
As we approach Independence Day, it behooves us to recall the principles of America's founding, especially in light of the ongoing attempt by today's political and commercial leaders to merge the United States into a hemispheric government. In fact, the clarion call for independence is just as fundamental, just as revolutionary as it was 233 years ago. If the United States is going to maintain its independence and freedom much beyond the year 2010, it will only be because millions of freedom-loving Americans (and the governments of the States in which they reside) are willing to fight for it.

Let Iran Decide Its Own Destiny

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
Twenty years after the dramatic and heart-rending events in China's Tiananmen Square, a similar drama is playing out in the streets of Tehran as hundreds of thousands protest what they are convinced was a rigged and stolen election. Scores of demonstrators have been assaulted, and more than a dozen killed. While we should applaud and encourage those in Iran seeking freedom, the U.S. government must abstain from direct involvement. Twice in the past six decades -- in 1953 and again in 1978 -- Washington intervened in Iranian political affairs. This is in violation of our Constitution and the highest principles of our Founders.

States Plan on Opting Out of Obamacare

Ann Shibler / The New American:
Some state lawmakers, in preemptive mode, are considering ballot initiatives for the 2010 election which would allow them to opt out of Obama care, if the voters so choose. The states of Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Wyoming are all proposing some sort of legislation to unshackle themselves from what some describe as a trampling of state’s rights by the federal government’s passage of the healthcare reform package.

Obamageddon - 2012

Gerald Celente / LewRockwell.com:
Empire America is on the verge of collapse. Its social, economic and political systems are failed and failing. The measures taken by successive governments to save the politically corrupt, morally bankrupt, physically decrepit giant from collapse have served to only hasten its demise. While the decline has been decades in the making, the acceleration of ruinous policies under the current Administration is leading the United States – and much of the world – to the point of no return.

Shredding Your Safety Nets

Gary North / LewRockwell.com:
Modern man believes in government-funded safety nets. He thinks that other taxpayers can and should be taxed to bail out those taxpayers who make bad economic decisions, so long as those taxpayers being bailed out are people like themselves. They don't want bailouts for bankers, and they don't want bailouts for people who got into no-money-down mortgages to buy in neighborhoods "above their station."

Beware of `Progressive' Snake Oil Salesmen

Dan Gilgoff / U.S. News & World Report - Religion:
A week after a left-leaning faith group (heretics) enlisted a Franciscan sister to sell the climate bill on the Indiana radio waves, another progressive faith outfit is using the Bible's Book of Isaiah to sell healthcare reform in other red states. What's novel about the new ad-which will air in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, and North Carolina over Congress's Fourth of July break-is not that it uses Christian radio and messaging to push a mostly Democrat cause. In the past few years, that's become standard practice for the Dems. What's novel is that the ad enlists local pastors in each market where it's airing to make a case for healthcare reform. It's the second such ad to do so for a liberal cause.

Pope Signs Encyclical for 'One World' Economy

Abominations:
Pope Benedict XVI signed his latest encyclical Monday, a text on ways to make globalization more attentive to meeting the needs of the poor amid the worldwide financial crisis. Benedict has frequently spoken out on the financial crisis, urging leaders to ensure the world's poor don't end up bearing the brunt of the downturn even though they are not responsible for it. He has said the downturn shows the need to rethink the whole global financial system.

Witchcraft and Child Sacrifice

George Tiller and 'Defensive Action'

Jay Rogers / Forerunner.com:
If you are concerned with the abortion issue at all, you already know about Dr. George Tiller's death. Tiller was the late term abortionist who operated a clinic in Wichita, Kansas. He was shot to death while serving as an usher in his church on Sunday, May 31st, 2009. In 1993, I moved into a house directly across the street from one of America's most notorious abortion clinics, Aware Woman Center for Choice in Melbourne, Florida.

Why Creation and Prophecy Can't be Separated

Gary DeMar / The American Vision:
When I wrote my article "Why Young People are Leaving the Church" I knew it would generate some response. I was taken to task by a few Young earth Creationists (YEC) because I did not point out the dangers of Old Earth Creationist (OEC) arguments and how they create serious theological problems such as disease and death before the fall. Some OECs have attempted to answer this objection exegetically. YECists can and do disagree with OEC arguments, but they can't accuse OECists of not appealing to the Bible to make their case.

Why Young People are Leaving the Church

Gary DeMar / The American Vision:
Ken Ham, who believes in a literal six-day creation that happened around 6,000 years ago, says the church opened a door for the exodus of youth, beginning in the 19th century, when it began teaching that “the age of the Earth is not an issue as long as you trust in Jesus and believe in the resurrection and the Gospel accounts.” Ham concedes that “salvation is not conditioned on what you believe about the age of the Earth and the six days of creation.” He admits that there “are many who believe in millions of years and are Christians.” Even so, the Genesis issue does matter, he argues, “because salvation does rise or fall on the authority of Scripture.

Cap and Trade Will Lead to Capital Flight

Ron Paul / Texas Straight Talk:
In my last column, I joked that with public spending out of control and the piling on of the international bailout bill, economic collapse seems to be the goal of Congress. It is getting harder to joke about such a thing however, as the non-partisan General Accounting Office (GAO) has estimated that the administration’s health care plan would actually cost over a trillion dollars. This reality check may have given us a temporary reprieve on this particular disastrous policy, however an equally disastrous energy policy reared its ugly head on Capitol Hill last week.

Audit the Fed Bill Gathers Steam

Emily Cadei / Congressional Quarterly:
He may have faded from the national political scene a year ago, after his dark-horse presidential run came to naught, but Rep. Ron Paul's influence is still being felt in campaigns and policy debates across the country. Indeed, the latest legislative priority of the libertarian Texas Republican -- auditing the Federal Reserve -- has gained support in unlikely quarters.

Loophole Benefits GE In Bank Bailout

The Washington Post:
General Electric, the world's largest industrial company, has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of one of the government's key rescue programs for banks. At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial giants getting help from the government. The company did not initially qualify for the program, but "regulators" (The FED) soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of behind-the-scenes appeals from GE. ... GE's finance arm is not classified as a bank. Rather, it worked its way into the "bailout" program by owning two relatively small Utah banking institutions, illustrating how the loopholes in the U.S. regulatory system are manifest in the government's historic intervention in the financial crisis.

Why I Own Guns?

Michael Gaddy / LewRockwell.com:
Messiah Obama, Eric Holder, Bobby Rush, Charles Schumer, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Sarah Brady can choose not to own a firearm; that is their right, though at least one of them felt the need to own one. I choose to own a gun for many reasons that I will touch on in this article. Those listed above do not have the right to deny me ownership of a firearm; I don’t care how many fools voted for them or who they know at Diebold who can illegally manipulate a voting machine.

Into Slavery Proclaiming Freedom

Al Cronkrite / The Covenant News:
Blind, Stubborn Americans: Though the North American Union, a globalizing unit, is quickly advancing on many different fronts there is no mention of it in the media. In Texas, mendacious politicians have approved the new Trans Texas Corridor which is the first leg of a major highway designed to allow the trucking of foreign goods (mostly Chinese) from Mexico into the interior of United States and Canada. Open borders and amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is a North American Union objective. ... In spite of the fact that David Rockefeller's book "Memoirs" contains a conspiracy confession recorded in black and white for all to see, most United States citizens still refuse to believe his confession preferring the erroneous opinion that all is well. Russian writer Stanislav Mishin wrote in Pravda, "The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker."

Socialism is a Return to Slavery

Chris Ortiz / Chalcedon Blog:
"One consequence of such politico-economic policies is a return to slavery. The more socialist a country, i.e., the more rigorously it is dedicated to fiat laws and money, the more marked the return to slavery. Slavery violates the fundamental premise of dominion work, responsibility. In slavery, an elite group orders work done. Personal motivation and purpose is replaced by social plans and goals. The elite assume more and more responsibility and freedom from control while placing all others under the slavery of a radically regulated and controlled society." ~ R. J. Rushdoony, Systematic Theology, p. 1049

Evangelism and Apologetics

Dr. Greg Bahnsen / Answers in Genesis:
The very reason why Christians are put in the position of giving a reasoned account of the hope that is in them is that not all men have faith. Because there is a world to be evangelized (men who are unconverted), there is the need for the believer to defend his faith: Evangelism naturally brings one into apologetics. This indicates that apologetics is no mere matter of "intellectual jousting"; it is a serious matter of life and death-eternal life and death. The apologist who fails to take account of the evangelistic nature of his argumentation is both cruel and proud.

Voluntary Serfdom

Floy Lilley / LewRockwell.com:
Pelosi, with raised fist, squawked, "Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs." The shamefulness of the spectacle of the passage of the Climate Bill did not spring from the squeaked two votes "win" (217 would have denied passage; 219 was secured) nor Pelosi’s embarrassing squawks. No. It oozed from the now predictable spectacle of Democans and Republicrats birthing yet another monstrosity of oppression. Powerful parasites teamed with clever-thinking thugs, clueless confidence men and large numbers of brainwashed bellies to disgorge the latest bread and circus baby that would have made Machiavelli proud. Machiavelli knew all the ways to get people to voluntarily consent to their own enslavement.

Global Warming Is a Fraud

David Deming / LewRockwell.com:
As the years pass and data accumulate, it is becoming evident that global warming is a fraud. Climate change is natural and ongoing, but the Earth has not warmed significantly over the last thirty years. Nor has there been a single negative effect of any type that can be unambiguously attributed to global warming.

Cap & Trade Rape Passed

Devvy Kidd / NewsWithViews.com:
While the news media in this country saturated the air waves over Michael Jackson's death last Friday, a real battle was going on in the House of Outlaws in Washington, DC. Comrade Pelosi was absent most of the day breaking arms to get the required number of votes to save the planet! Those of us who have actually taken the time to do the research fully understand global warming is a monstrous hoax against the world.

Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of s--t'

Molly K. Hooper / The Hill:
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday. When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t." Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it.

Congress About to Embrace a Scientific Hoax

Phil Brennan / Ether Zone:
Friday, June 26, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a bill based on a scientific impossibility that will impose a huge tax burden on an already staggering economy, and in the words of Barack Obama, send the cost of everybody's electricity skyrocketing. According to the legislation a 17 percent emissions reduction from 2005 levels by 2020 would be required.

Obama Pushes Senate to Act on 'Global Warming' Tax
The Associated Press:
Hailing the House, President Barack Obama put pressure on senators Saturday to follow its lead and pass legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, helping usher the U.S. into a new age of energy efficiency. The legislation, which the House narrowly approved Friday night, would place the first national limits on emissions of greenhouse gases from major sources - such as power plants, factories and oil refineries - to reduce the gases linked to global climate change.

U.N. to Emerge as Global IRS

Cliff Kincaid / Accuracy in Media:
While our media sleep, the United Nations is proceeding, with President Obama's acquiescence, to implement a global plan to create a new international socialist order financed by global taxes on the American people. The Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development that begins on Wednesday will consider adoption of a document calling for "new voluntary and innovative sources of financing initiatives to provide additional stable sources of development finance..." This is U.N.-speak for global taxes. They are anything but "voluntary" for the people forced to pay them.

Get Ready for Soup Lines

Peter Schiff / LewRockwell.com:
Misguided government policies have already dealt vicious body blows to our economy, but that hasn't stopped politicians this week from launching two new kicks to the groin: a national health insurance plan and a carbon emissions regulation system called "cap and trade." Even if these plans could achieve their desired ends, which is highly unlikely, I would have hoped Washington would refrain from throwing more monkey wrenches into the economy until it shows some signs of resurgence. The last thing we need right now is to further encumber our economy with higher taxes and additional regulations.

Ron Paul Storms the Federal Reserve

Matthew Collins / The Sovereign Society:
As far as finance and business goes, at least one rule generally holds true... And this rule makes your job as an investor, entrepreneur or analyst ten times easier. The rule? If you can't explain a particular investment or innovation to an eleven-year-old, then something shady is going on. Credit Default Swaps, Securitization, GSEs, CDOs…all of these things were considered “financial wizardry” back in the bubble days. Now they’ve been exposed as little more than Wall Street’s version of three-card Monte.

Government Gone Mad

Tom DeWeese / Magic City Morning Star:
I've heard it all- the cries, the pleas, the whines, the double speak and the lies. "We need the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to protect us from terrorists." "We must have Real ID to protect us from illegal immigration." "We must have E-Verify to protect American jobs." "Traffic light cameras are necessary to make the streets safer." "Security cameras on street corners make our neighborhoods safer." "I'm glad the TSA is there at the airport - I feel so much safer getting on an airplane." And my favorite lie of them all - "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear."

Obama Mulls Indefinite Prison Stays

The Associated Press:
The White House is considering whether to issue an executive order to indefinitely imprison a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees, concerned that Congress might otherwise stymie its plans to quickly close the naval prison in Cuba. Under the proposal, detainees considered too dangerous to prosecute or release would be kept in confinement in the U.S. or possibly overseas, two administration officials said Friday. Civil rights advocates and constitutional scholars accused Obama of parroting the detention policies of former Republican President George W. Bush. "Prolonged imprisonment without trial is exactly the Guantanamo system that the president promised to shut down," Shayana Kadidal, a senior attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights, said in a statement Friday. He added: "If the last eight years have taught us anything, it's that executive overreach, left to continue unchecked for many years, has a tendency to harden into precedent."

House Passes 'Global Warming' Tax Bill

The Washington Post:
The House passed an ambitious climate bill yesterday that would establish national limits on greenhouse gases, create a complex trading system for emission permits and provide incentives to alter how individuals and corporations use energy. The bill passed 219 to 212 after a furious lobbying push by the White House and party leaders won over farm-state Democrats who had complained that it was too costly, and liberals who wondered if it was too watered down to work. Even after that effort, 44 Democrats voted against the legislation.

'The Biggest Tax In American History'

The Wall Street Journal:
"Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has put cap-and-trade legislation on a forced march through the House, and the bill may get a full vote as early as Friday. It looks as if the Democrats will have to destroy the discipline of economics to get it done. ... Their gambit got a boost this week, when the Congressional Budget Office did an analysis of what has come to be known as the Waxman-Markey bill. According to the CBO, the climate legislation would cost the average household only $175 a year by 2020. Edward Markey, Mr. Waxman's co-author, instantly set to crowing that the cost of upending the entire energy economy would be no more than a postage stamp a day for the average household. Amazing. A closer look at the CBO analysis finds that it contains so many caveats as to render it useless.

Climate Bill Now Over 1200 Pages
Chicago Tribune
Remember that gargantuan climate change bill we told you about last week? It's gotten bigger. Over the weekend, the bill grew from 946 pages to 1,201 pages, according to the Sunlight Foundation. It's still changing, with important amendments in flux. But Democratic leaders in the House say they'll push for a vote on the bill as early as Friday. They think they can pass it.This is an incredibly expensive undertaking. If anyone in Congress tells you that he has read and completely understands this bill, and can explain exactly how the system to reduce carbon emissions would work and what its effects would be, he's lying.

The Torture Rationale Falls Apart

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
In 2002, George W. Bush described Abu Zubaida, who was seized in Pakistan and detained at Guantanamo Bay, as the third-ranking member of al-Qaeda and the terrorist network's "chief of operations." CIA interrogators subjected Zubaida to controlled drowning - more commonly called waterboarding - 83 times. According to camp physicians, the 38-year-old Pakistani nearly died on four occasions.

REAL ID Has a New Name

Becky Akers / LewRockwell.com:
During its decline from a republic to a democracy, lying Leviathan prattled about being a "government of, by, and for the people." But the beast increasingly forsakes that pretence as it continues sliding into tyranny. One instance of the State's new and brutal honesty came last fall when Congress bailed out billionaires despite our overwhelming opposition. Another around that same time saw the criminals running New York City overturn a law on term-limits that voters had twice upheld. More than ever, government is of, by and for Our Rulers.

How the New York Times Helped Tyrants

Thomas R. Eddlem / The New American:
The New York Times may have a reputation as America's premiere newspaper, but it also has a well-deserved reputation among informed Americans as a flunky for every big-government scheme that ever came down the pike. Moreover, New York Times' reporters on the scene in Russia and Cuba repeatedy put out false stories benefiting Stalin and Castro, two of the most tyrannical dictators of modern times.

Obama Pressed to Sodomize the Military

The Washington Times:
Homosex Democrats (and Republicans) are using their wallets to pressure President Obama, while liberal groups are asking him to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" as a national security issue. Several top donors have boycotted Democratic National Committee fundraisers and promised the party would feel the financial pain.

Civil officials have a God ordained duty to execute sodomites. The word of God commands, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Lev.20:13).

Holder Pushes for Hate-Crimes Law

CNN.com:
Attorney General Eric Holder stepped up his call for the passage of federal hate crimes legislation Thursday, arguing that the federal government needs to take a stronger stand against criminal activity fueled by bias and bigotry. Holder made his remarks during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is currently considering the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

Gun Control: What is the Agenda?

Paul Craig Roberts / VDARE.com:
Some years or decades ago I researched and reported on the Sullivan Act, one of America's first gun control laws. New York state senator Timothy Sullivan, a corrupt Tammany Hall politician, represented New York’s Red Hook district. Commercial travelers passing through the district would be relieved of their valuables by armed robbers. In order to protect themselves and their property, travelers armed themselves. This raised the risk of, and reduced the profit from, robbery. Sullivan’s outlaw constituents demanded that Sullivan introduce a law that would prohibit concealed carry of pistols, blackjacks, and daggers, thus reducing the risk to robbers from armed victims.

Home and Personal Defense

Massad Ayoob / LewRockwell.com:
Jeff Yago, Backwoods Home's energy writer, recently completed a couple of concealed carry handgun courses. The classes apparently left some questions hanging in the air, and Jeff passed along a request through Dave Duffy for those questions to be addressed in this space. Here goes. Question 1: “What are the basic differences in handguns to help determine which is better for home defense, ease of operation (single versus double action), male or female, caliber, number of cartridges?” The question covers a lot of ground, so the answer has to be a bit basic.

Stream of Liberty from Calvin to the Founders

Dan Ford / Vision Forum Ministries:
The founders of our nation were extraordinary men. Among other impressive qualities, they showed incredible resolve in taking their fight for liberty against Britain, the most formidable military force of their day. Where did they get their resolve; better yet, where did they get their principles of liberty? In tracing the roots, we learn this: From John Calvin's indelible writings on civil government through the Puritans who carried his standard in England, the literary path of liberty had been paved for over two hundred years.

Non-Orwellian View of American History

Thomas E. Woods, Jr. / LewRockwell.com:
The other day I was briefly quoted in a segment for National Public Radio that dealt with the changes in American capitalism that will come about as a result of the current crisis. Everyone agreed that we needed major changes, though my proposed changes were in rather a different direction from those of everyone else. (I spoke to them for half an hour, though in this segment they used only a few sentences.)

Satellite Spying on Americans

Thomas R. Eddlem / The New American:
When the Associated Press leads a story with the headline that "Homeland security kills domestic satellite program," can you rest easily that your civil liberties will be protected? Apparently not. The story is about how "Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano killed a program begun by the Bush administration that would use U.S. spy satellites for domestic security and law enforcement." The article quotes Congresswoman Jane Harman, who chairs the Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee, saying of the program: "I thought this was just an invitation to huge mischief.... It shows real leadership on the part of Janet Napolitano." Sounds good for your privacy, right? Wrong. Sounds good for your privacy, right? Wrong. The satellite surveillance of Americans by the federal government will continue apace; it’s just that the local police are being cut out of the loop.

Totalitarianism In One City

William N. Grigg / Pro Libertate:
Any time a motorist is stopped by a police officer, insists Shreveport, Louisiana Mayor Cedric Glover, "Your rights ... have been suspended." This includes not only the freedom of movement, but also, in the event the officer inquires as to whether the driver is carrying a weapon, "Your right to be able to hold on to your weapon and say whether [you] have a weapon or not" -- as well as the right to retain possession of that weapon, should the officer decide to confiscate it from you.

Religion & The Totalitarian State - Part II

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report:
Dawson insists that it is possible to be spiritually free but politically and economically enslaved while at the same time he insists that it is also possible to be politically and economically free but spiritually free. We must agree with this. There are many Christians around the world who live in political and economic oppression but who are free because they are in Christ. Similarly there are countries which were shaped by the categories of a fading Christendom who still know something of political and economic freedom though a large segment of their population is spiritually dead.

Southern Baptists honor Obama

Abominations:
Southern Baptists overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Wednesday honoring the breakthrough of Obama's election as the nation's first African-American president and hailing his dedication to his wife and children. Southern Baptist Convention President Johnny Hunt said on Tuesday. "We wanted to give our prayer and support to the new administration," he said, citing biblical passages that the "king's heart is in the Lord's hands."

Sotomayor's Indifference to Justice

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
Vice President Joe Biden recently told representatives of police organizations that because of Sonia Sotomayor's "life-long commitment to law enforcement" they could be confident that she "has your back[.]" Sotomayor's preferential treatment of law enforcement has led to miscarriages of justice.

The Next Bubble Is Here

Gary North / LewRockwell.com:
I have identified the next bubble. It has already begun. It is in full swing. Investors want to identify the next big bubble. Some investors want to buy in now, maybe using borrowed money (margin loans) to make a killing. They are confident that they will sell out near the top. They won't. Other investors just want to avoid getting trapped. They prefer to let the first group bear the uncertainty of profiting from a bubble sector.

Dead Banks Walking

Doug French / Mises.org:
It's widely acknowledged that hundreds if not thousands of banks are on the ropes and just waiting for regulators to wrap them in yellow tape some Friday evening. However, fewer than forty US banks have been seized this year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) list of problem banks grew to 305 in the first quarter, the highest number since 1994, but of course the names of those banks are not released so that depositors can be forewarned.

Religion & The Totalitarian

Iron Ink:
Premise - The sphere of action of the State has grown steadily larger until it now threatens to embrace the whole human life and to leave nothing outside its competence. This has led to not only the centralization of the State but also the politicization of society and culture so that everything in society and culture is seen through the prism of politics. Everything falls into the purview of the State.

Obama to Commemorate Sodomite Riot!

New York Times:
As advocates for 'homosex' intensify their criticism of the White House, President Obama has invited some of their leaders to an East Room reception next Monday to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, the 1969 Greenwich Village demonstrations that gave birth to the modern gay rights movement. The White House has not publicized the reception, and officials did not respond to e-mail requests for comment. But gay leaders from here and around the country said they had received either telephone calls from the White House or written invitations to the event, and were told Mr. Obama is expected to speak.

Culling The Herd

Sheila Samples / The Covenant News:
In 1974, a year after orchestrating a mass terror bombing of Cambodia -- after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize -- Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his National Security Council completed "National Security Study Memo 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." This document, whose sharp edges are dulled by page after leaden page of how to reduce overpopulation in the Third World through birth control and "other" population-reduction programs, was classified until 1989, but was almost immediately accepted as US policy, and remains the US blueprint for ethnic cleansing today.

Nixon: Racist Baby Murdering Pig

Ben Smith / Politico.com:
Latest Batch of Nixon Tapes Reveal Nation's First Pro-Abort President Was A Racist Baby Murdering Pig: A remarkable bit of history from Charlie Savage, who is listening to newly released Nixon tapes: Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster "permissiveness" and said that "it breaks the family.” But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases, such as interracial pregnancies. "There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white," he told an aide, before adding: "Or a rape."

'Watch the Skies!'

Gary DeMar / The American Vision:
"Pop-culture fiction, not academic nonfiction, is now the cutting edge of public discourse on spirituality." For several months I have been working on an extended project that explores the relationship of pop-culture to societal norms and worldview shifts. In addition to comic books, film, and music, I've been looking at science fiction and the search for extraterrestrial life. Science and science-fiction have converged on the subject for quite some time. "Nicholas of Cusa (Kues, German, 1401–1464) was a theologian who in De docta ignorantia endorsed the idea of other inhabited worlds in the mid-fifteenth century. Remarkably, Nicholas even affirmed that the inhabitants of the planets were superior to Earth's human residents." It's surprising how much interest and writing there has been on the subject for more than 500 years! It was surprising.

U.N. to Emerge as Global IRS

Cliff Kincaid / NewsWithViews.com:
While our media sleep, the United Nations is proceeding, with Obama's acquiescence, to implement a global plan to create a new international socialist order financed by global taxes on the American people. The Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development that begins on Wednesday will consider adoption of a document calling for "new voluntary and innovative sources of financing initiatives to provide additional stable sources of development finance..." This is U.N.-speak for global taxes.

The Waning Power of Truth

Paul Craig Roberts / VDARE.com:
The Iranian election protests, essentially by the westernized youth of Tehran who wish to be free of Islamic moral codes, have the hallmarks of orchestration. The protesters are color-coded with green wristbands. Their protest signs are in English and are obviously directed at the western media. Their chants are propagandistic and bear no relation to facts known by every Iranian. And again, the US media and various experts, whose ambitions depend on government-related careers, are force-feeding the American public the disinformation designed to further isolate and weaken, if not overthrow, the Iranian government.

Material Signs of Maturity

R. Albert Mohler, Jr. / Answers in Genesis:
When does a boy become a man? The answer goes far beyond biology and chronological age. As defined in the Bible, manhood is a functional reality, demonstrated by leadership and the fulfillment of responsibility. One mark of manhood is the economic maturity sufficient to hold an adult job and handle money. The Christian view of manhood elevates economic maturity even more. A Christian man sees his work as an assignment from God—and as a gospel issue. If he fails in his responsibility by complacency and sloth, he knows that he has done injury to the gospel and the cause of Christ.

Abomination 'Defectors' Form New Church

Julia Duin / The Washington Times:
Several hundred former Episcopalians, meeting in a school gym near the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, ratified a constitution Monday for the fledgling Anglican Church in North America as a direct challenge to the Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church of Canada. About 800 people jumped to their feet and sang the Doxology, a hymn of praise, after the ACNA's new leader, Archbishop-designate Robert Duncan, told the group that it had "done the work." "The Anglican Province of North America has been constituted," he said.

Federal Judge Impeached

Avery Fellow / Courthouse News Service:
A federal judge from Texas will be forced to leave the bench after the House unanimously approved four impeachment articles. Samuel B. Kent, a former judge for the Southern District of Texas, is serving a 33-month prison term for trying to cover up sexual assaults on two female employees. Kent's former case manager, Cathy McBroom, filed suit after Kent allegedly propositioned her and reached under the clothing. According to indictment documents filed in January 2009, Kent tried to force another female employee to have oral sex with him at the post office and courthouse in Galveston, Texas, where Kent was serving as the lone federal judge.

International Bailout

Ron Paul / Texas Straight Talk:
From their spending habits, an economic collapse seems to be the goal of Congress and this administration. Washington spends with impunity domestically, bailing out and nationalizing everything they can get their hands on, and the foreign aid and IMF funding in this bill can rightly be called an international bailout!

Tillered In Kansas

Bret McAtee / The Covenant News:
Somehow when the end came for Dr. George "Mengle" Tiller the setting of his death was altogether appropriate. Tiller had spent his life serving as the high priest in the sanctuary of humanism for decades, bringing murder, death and torture to tens of thousands in his abortuary. In turn, when Tiller was murdered Sunday, God returned him the favor as Tiller was murdered as he stood in God’s house. The irony shouldn’t be lost on us - it seems that even God operates with an eye for an eye ethic.

Letters: Tiller Was A Butcher

Christopher C. Fisher / Argus Leader:
I remember when Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered. There was no outpouring of love. There were no condolences to his relatives. The only thing heard was contempt for the dead.

When George Tiller fell, the result was quite different as supposedly pro-lifers fell all over each other to be the first to offer their condolences to the family of a butcher so gruesome that he made Dahmer look like Hannah Montana.

It makes me sick to think of all the babies Tiller held in his hands. They would wiggle and squirm, desperately crying for their mothers' embrace just to be greeted with a long, cold needle to the back of their head. Their little bodies soon would go limp. And every day Tiller would wash his blood-soaked clothes as he prepared to do the same the next morning.

Tiller claimed to have killed more than 60,000 babies. And pro-lifers offer apologies to his supporters?

Real pro-lifers take note: Though it does not condone vigilantism, the group, American Right to Life, seems to be the only organization that remembers those innocent babies.

Those who support abortion or vote for pro-abortion candidates also should take note: Life is fragile. We are not immortal, and when we die, we will have to explain our actions to the almighty creator of the universe. And he is not going to accept the little lies we tell ourselves to justify our own actions.

'Maafa 21'

Life Dynamics: Black Genocide in 21st Century America. What you are about to see is that the plan these people set in motion 150 years ago is still being carried out today. So don't think that this is history. It is not. It is happening right here, and it's happening right now.

Hospital For Selfish People

Bill Sizemore / NewsWithViews.com:
Let him who stole, steal no more, but rather let him work with his hands that he might have to give to him who doesn't have. That is the advice of the Apostle Paul to the Church at Ephesus. There's a profound principle here that is worthy of a closer look. The apostle didn't tell the person who had a problem with stealing just to stop stealing, though that’s usually the way we deal with our faults. We try to break bad habits and stop doing bad things.

Reining In Police Abuse: A First Step

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
The public is increasingly exposed to scenes of unnecessary violence perpetrated against innocent people by police. Many of those incidents are the product of a mind-set in which anything other than instant and unqualified submission to police orders is treated as justification for the use of force. Police in such circumstances often arrest their victims for the supposed crime of resisting arrest.

Obama Backs Changes to Immigration Laws

Steven J. DuBord / The New American:
Obama on June 19 attended the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and used the occasion to reaffirm his commitment to changing the nation's immigration laws. The appearance also served as a lead-in to next week's scheduled gathering of legislators at the White House to discuss immigration changes. Having decided against speaking at the National Day of Prayer ceremony in May, the president’s selective attendance may indicate the bloc of voters he is most interested in courting.

DHS to Stop Domestic Satellite Spying

FOX News:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to end a program begun by the Bush administration that uses U.S. spy satellites for domestic security and law enforcement, a government official said Monday. Napolitano recently reached her decision after the program was discussed with law enforcement officials, and she was told it was not an urgent issue, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about it.

Presidential Seed Cultivated In Chicago Soil

Al Cronkrite / The Covenant News:
Rod Blagojevich, (Mr. B) the now disgraced and indicted former governor of Illinois, is a talented politician whose close associates in Chicago thought he was on the way to becoming a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Instead he is facing trial and a probable jail sentence while another talented Illinois politician, an associate, Barak Obama, is sitting in the Oval Office. President Obama has strenuously denied any close relationship with Mr. B but both worked in the same Chicago milieu with some of the same advisors.

How's Your Accountability?

Buddy Hanson / The Covenant News:
Sports coaches don't have to be reminded that they are accountable to not merely provide the correct instruction, but to transform the behavior of a bunch of individual players into a team that plays with one heartbeat. They continually receive feedback from the media, fans, their athletic director, and parents. While pastors are certainly accountable to their church board, and members, in many instances the things that can get them in trouble have nothing to do with the effectiveness of their preaching and teaching. Yet the primary reason God called them into the pulpit was to save and then transform the behavior of their members into conforming their lifestyles to God's Word.

Pushing on a String

Gary North / LewRockwell.com:
Back in 1973, gold standard advocate John Exter made a phrase famous in hard-money circles: "Pushing on a string." Exter argued that prices of all assets except gold (he ignored silver) would someday collapse because of the pyramiding of debt. Banks would eventually cease to lend, out of fear of default. That would cause the default. The FED would inflate the monetary base, he said, but this would not reverse the price decline. The commercial banks would not lend. The FED would therefore push on a string. Its attempt to inflate would fail.

The Importance of Psalm 110

Joel McDurmon / The American Vision:
The New Testament quotes from Psalm 110 more than from any other Old Testament passage. This apostolic emphasis deserves more attention than it has so far received. In the New Testament references to this passage we find the determinant keys to Eschatology, or the doctrine of the future. The resulting ideas we glean from how Peter, Paul, and others apply Psalm 110 overturn much of the popular understanding of prophecy and “end times” teaching. A more consistent understanding will help modern Christians see through popular doom and gloom, through maniacal apocalyptic hysteria, and instead apprehend an optimism and goal-oriented Christian life many have not even yet considered.

Anti-Christian Bigotry at Washington Post

James P. Pinkerton / The FOX Forum:
Are Christian missionaries "pernicious"? The Washington Post seems to think so. You know the word "pernicious," which Webster’s defines as "highly injurious or destructive." Webster's then offers these synonyms for "pernicious," including, "noxious," "deleterious," and "detrimental." As is so typical of the Post, and of the MSM in general, this little bit of bigotry (hate speach) was a throwaway, a gratuitous dig–a dig, of course, that reveals much about The Post's underlying mentality.

Removing This Usurper From Office

Devvy Kidd / NewsWithViews.com:
Those not walking around in a self induced coma are aware of the 38 lawsuits regarding Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka Barry Obama aka Barack Dunham aka Barry Dunham, over his false citizenship claims. Double digit millions of Americans now know the legal facts or at least are questioning why Obama/Soetoro won't release his long form birth certificate. Of course, that isn't the core issue, but millions of us know there is something wrong or Obama/Soetoro would have released it by now, as well as his college transcripts as have other candidates and presidents.

Round Up the Usual 'Hate' Suspects

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
For some people of a leftist political persuasion, practically any kind of political speech with which they disagree is to be considered "hate speech." Typical of such people is Bonnie Erbe, a commentator for PBS and US News, who refers to the recent shooting at the Holocaust Museum as "a clarion call for banning hate speech."

Obama Wants Homosex 'Couples' Counted

The Associated Press:
Obama's "Pro-Sodomite Census - 2010": The White House said Friday it is working to ensure the 2010 census produces a better count of homosex couples, this week's second policy announcement aimed at dampening rising anger in the sex offender community toward President Barack Obama. "The president and the administration are committed to a fair and accurate count of all Americans," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "We're in the midst of determining the best way to ensure that gay and lesbian couples are accurately counted." The Census Bureau has previously collected data on homosex "marriages," but not released it when it gives out all the other detailed demographic information from the decennial count, he said. Now it will be released.

Push to Criminalize the Right

Thomas R. Eddlem / The New American:
The New American recently warned that Americans who oppose policies emanating from Washington are being tarred as right-wing extremists and even potential terrorists by the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security as well as by the New York Times and other liberal media organs. This push to demonize and even criminalize political dissent appears to be accelerating.

They've Discovered Gold In Hell...

Tom DeWeese / NewsWithViews.com:
...Or How the Lie of Global Warming Became the Most Powerful Political Force in Human History: Not long ago a very talented salesman died and found himself approaching the Pearly Gates. As he drew closer he noticed there was a very long line of people waiting to enter and it wasn’t moving. Impatient by nature, the salesman pushed his way to the front of the line and confronted a very harried St. Peter.

Socialized Medicine: 'Play or Pay'

Ann Shibler / JBS:
"Play or pay," that's the comment from Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) for Americans who refuse to participate in the government's newly proposed health care plan. So, as of this posting, an unspecified penalty will be applied to any non-participant. After all, Rangel said, "There is no use having a mandate without a contribution." Madame Secretary Clinton, while still a New York senator, said that national health care had to be mandated and that garnishing wages was the only way to fix those who remained non-compliant, so the idea isn't new. In fact, it seems to have been the plan all the time.

Phoenix Police Raid Home Church

Phoenix New Times:
Last Thursday, a swarm of police officers descended on Michael Salman's northwest Phoenix home. Armed officers herded Salman, his wife Suzanne, their five young daughters, and their visiting friends into the living room -- and kept them under watch for 90 minutes while other city officials searched the grounds. And here's the crazy part: The officials weren't looking for drugs, weapons, or stolen property. They were looking for evidence that Michael and Suzanne Salman are holding church services in their backyard.
