I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do not plan to get to them until after the general election in November.
I do plan to discuss Iraq before the election. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.
How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?

Thank you! I did Google all three and they can all be retrieved with Google. In fact, the “Dangerous Radicals of the Religious Right” is posted tonight toward the end of the post. It is very good. I also like the slogan. Here is another such slogan that I like: “The unborn have rights and lefts and minds and bodies and souls.”
Wake-up America!!! Who ultimately is in control—GOD or man? Who determines right and wrong—GOD or man? Who controls the weather—GOD or man? Who determines righteousness and sin—GOD or man? Who controls our economy—GOD or man? Who defines good and evil—GOD or man? Who controls what happens to the United States of America—GOD or man?
The three crucial issues in this election are:
1) to END the MURDER of unborn babies
2) to NOT allow HOMOSEXUAL marriages
3) to APPOINT STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST judges at all levels of the federal court system
Three crucial issues in this election and Barack Hussein Obama is WRONG on ALL three!!!
I sent a questionnaire to each of the candidates running for the United State House of Representatives from Illinois for the 15th Congressional District. Only one candidate responded. Steve Cox representing the Democrat Party answered and returned the questionnaire. The questions and his answers are given below.

1) As a Congressman, I will work diligently to overturn the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade that allows abortion.

disagree >>>X strongly disagree

3) As a Congressman, I will work diligently to expand the Constitutional rights of practicing homosexuals since the equal protection clause rightly permits such activity.
X strongly agree >>> agree >>> undecided
disagree >>> strongly disagree
Comment: These individuals have equal rights to pursue life, liberty and happiness as nature and nature’s God has made it best for them, as good human beings.
4) Congress should provide a “path to citizenship” for people who are in this country illegally.

06) HORACE GREELEY: ‘It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible-reading people.’ (p. 23)
07) THOMAS JEFFERSON: ‘I hold the precepts of Jesus as delivered by himself to be the most pure, benevolent, and sublime which have ever been preached to man. I adhere to the principles of the first age; and consider all subsequent innovations as corruptions of this religion, having no foundation in what came from him.’ (p. 45)
08) THOMAS JEFFERSON: ‘Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would by now have become Christian.’ (p. 47)
09) BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: ‘As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see.’ (p.49)
10) WOODROW WILSON: ‘The sum of the whole matter is this—that our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually. It can only be saved by becoming permeated with the spirit of Christ and being made free and happy by practices which spring out of that spirit.’ (p. 143)

12) THOMAS JEFFERSON: ‘Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.’ (p. 225)
13) THOMAS JEFFERSON: ‘Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern, which have come under my observation, none appear to me so pure as that of Jesus.’ (p. 237)
14) GEORGE WASHINGTON: ‘The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low, that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.’ (p. 283) (I wasn’t going to comment on these but I have to for this one. Compare this comment with what is heard every day on TV and in the movies and you have some small idea of how far we have fallen as a nation! How can we expect GOD to continue to bless such a depraved nation! So depraved that we MURDER over 3,000 unborn babies every day of the year! AND SOME DECLARE IT TO BE A “RIGHT”! WAKE-UP AMERICA!

17) GEORGE WASHINGTON: ‘The perpetuity of this nation depends upon the religious education of the young.’ (p. 306)
Prior to our increasingly ‘Hell-Bound and Happy’ era, America’s greatest leaders were part of the (gulp) Religious Right! Today we have forgotten God’s threat (to abort America) in Psalm 50: 22—‘Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.’”
I’m going to quote a larger section of that Psalm:
“But to the wicked, God says: ‘What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers. You use your mouth for evil and harness your mouth to deceit. (Does that sound like Barack Hussein Obama? I will explain in a latter article why I am now going to use his middle name—my addition.) You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother’s son. These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face. Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue….’” Psalm 50: 16-22 (NIV)
“Thus, in 1789 President Washington issued ‘The First Thanksgiving Proclamation of the United States,’ which he began with these words, ‘Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits and humbly implore His protection and favor ….’”
“But the forces of unbelief that have moved in to control American life, would remove every influence of God among us. We are reminded of the statement by William Penn that, ‘If we are not governed by God, we will be ruled by tyrants.’”
“Rather He pronounced a blessing on ‘the nation whose God is the Lord.’ (Psalm 33: 12)
“He promised that his eye would be ‘upon those who fear him.’” (Psalm 33: 18)
“He has said, ‘Righteousness exalts a nation; but sin is a reproach (or a disgrace) to any people.’” (Proverbs 14: 34)
“‘Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.’”
“Without the influence of Divine Providence, believers will be disenfranchised and America will fall as other great societies in the past have done, from within.”
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
