Immigration policy shows Barack Obama is in 'full panic mode,' Rush Limbaugh says - POLITICO.com

Rush Limbaugh on Friday said the Obama administration’s new immigration policy is proof that the president is in “full panic mode” about the upcoming election.

“The regime today told the border agents: ‘If you catch young illegals, let ‘em go and grant ‘em work permits.’ No more deportation of illegal immigrants. They are to be given work permits and they can stay in the country,” Limbaugh said, according to a transcript of his show. “So what this is, is ‘Catch, Release, Vote.’”

'Obama violating Constitution and oath of office'

'Obama violating Constitution and oath of office' http://www.wnd.com/2012/06/obama-violating-constitution-and-oath-of-office/ http://www.wnd.com  Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:23:28 GMT  

President Obama triggered a political and legal firestorm on Friday when he ordered a rule change through the Department of Homeland Security that allows young illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and legally obtain work
permits. The policy was one the major components of the DREAM Act, which failed to clear Congress even under Democrat control.

The easing of the rule is aimed at illegals who were brought to the U.S. before they turned 16 years old and are currently younger than 30.  The president says it’s unfair to to punish those young people for decisions their parents made and those young adults are already contributing to society.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa,  isn’t buying any of that. The Republican lawmaker is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and says the greatest outrage in this move is Obama’s ignoring of the Constitution. King says the president
can’t just create new laws through executive orders because he’s frustrated that his agenda can’t get through Congress.

“This man has refused to enforce immigration law, and now he issues an executive order that essentially institutes an amnesty program by executive order and I think this needs to go to the courtroom and I’m prepared to go there,” King told WND.

King adds that he’s ready to take the president to court for acting in a manner that is clearly reserved for the legislative branch. He has experience in this type of legal fight.

As an Iowa state senator, King successfully sued then-Gov. Tom Vilsack over what King sees as the same type of executive branch power grab.

“What the president is doing is ordering that his executive branch carry out a policy that is in direct violation of constitutionally and congressionally passed federal law,” said King.

The congressman says he isn’t concerned that what the president did may be similar to a reform plan being assembled by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio because the legislative process is where these things need to be hashed out.

King says he will press the legal challenge to the president’s move regardless of what GOP leaders do.

The Muslim Brotherhood in America | A Course in 10 Parts Presented by Frank Gaffney

This is an Absolute MUST SEE!

Have you ever asked yourself why, despite more than ten years of efforts –involving, among other things, the loss of thousands of lives in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, well-over a trillion dollars spent, countless man-years wasted waiting in airport security lines and endless efforts to ensure that no offense is given to seemingly permanently aggrieved Muslim activists – are we no closer to victory in the so-called “war on terror” than we were on 9/11?

Thankfully, we have been able to kill some dangerous bad guys. The sad truth of the matter is that, by almost any other measure, the prospect of victory is becoming more remote by the day. And no one seems able to explain the reason.

In an effort to provide the missing answer, on April 24, the Center for Security Policy is making available via the Internet a new, free ten-part video course called “The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within.” This course connects the proverbial dots, drawing on a wealth of publicly available data and first-hand accounts to present a picture that has, for over a decade, been obscured, denied and suppressed:

America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger – a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls “civilization jihad.”

Avoid J.C. Penney this Father's Day

Avoid J.C. Penney this Father's Day

Penney's is continuing its same-sex marriage promotion in advertisements. JCP's June catalog highlights "two dads" celebrating Father's Day.

The ad shows two men on the floor playing and hugging their two children at home. It reads, "First Pals - What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver - all rolled into one. Or two. Real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason."

It is obvious that JCP is promoting the normalization of homosexual marriage.

AFA encourages your family to avoid shopping at JCP at least through Father's Day.

TAKE ACTION

1. Call Penney's corporate office at 972-431-1000 and let them know you family will not be shopping their stores this Father's Day (or beyond).

2. Call, or visit your local store manager. Local managers are more likely to listen to your concerns and pass them along to the corporate office. You can find the phone number of your local store here, or in your local phone directory.

3. Because JCP blocks emails from our server, you can send your own personal email to Penney's at jcpcorpcomm@jcpenney.com.

If Romney Wants to Win

If Romney Wants to Win http://commonsenseinaradicalage.blogspot.com/2012/06/if-romney-wants-to-win.html http://commonsenseinaradicalage.blogspot.com/  Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:59:00 GMT  

Unlike the heady days in the Kennedy camp, when John pretended not to know that his dad was employing every dirty trick in the book to advance him to congressman and then the presidency, people are very aware of how politics works. We know that there are bedfellows that fall into line with candidates, who leave an ugly stain on the man they touch. We’re aware that many men have made bargains with the devil while seeking the office of President of the United States. We know all this, and just as many of us have come to resent the presence of those such as George Soros and their filthy money—and it is too, because they will do to anyone what rats would not do to one another, for the almighty buck—we will resent anyone that makes deals with the devil to take our country further down the pike.

Fortunately, for Mitt Romney, he doesn’t have to make deals with the devil, because he is running a race against time with the devil that inhabits the White House. It has been said that the Republicans are not concerned with winning the presidency, only with taking a majority in both houses of congress. The majority of conservatives see this attitude as both naïve and stupid. Taking power in the houses means little to a man that has written executive orders to get what he wants and done end-runs around Congress, going through the UN, at one point as if there was no legislative branch. What good is a majority when the president has become a self-appointed dictator?

The first thing that Romney must do is to choose a candidate that meets the qualifications to hold office should anything happen to the president. That means he must be eligible, and nothing less. The people are tired of the government elitist attitude. We’re sick to death of having our Constitution trampled upon and shredded before our faces. The second thing—almost as important as the first—is for Romney to choose a man the people trust and that’s not an easy task given the attitude toward the government in an atmosphere that leaves the majority distrustful of all government representation. If he chooses the wrong running mate, he may ensure that many voters will stay home on November 6^th.

The last two things he must do, is to run against Obama’s record. Although the Obama campaign is running dirty, the Romney campaign should use the last four years of failure against the man who seriously believes that he can talk his way around it. And, Romney needs to invest in a book. A very powerful book that includes a chapter entitled “The Low Road.” Strangely enough, the last chapter of the book lists the 6-most pivotal presidential elections in American history with a touch of advice that Romney would do well to heed.

A good businessman always knows his opponents weaknesses and uses them against him. The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House is full of the things that could lock down the election for Romney. All of Obama’s weaknesses are listed if only the reader pays attention to the words. It is a hope, wish, or a prayer, that Romney does what is best for this country and takes the right steps to defeat the devil while avoiding all the other men who would make offers for his soul.

NoisyRoom.net » Blog Archive » Communist Defector Speaks Out on America’s Marxist Future

A top communist defector is warning of an unprecedented “alliance” between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party, reflected in the CPUSA’s endorsement of Barack Obama for president in 2008 and the party’s continued support for Democratic Party policies. But is this warning going to be too hot to handle for the media? And the Republicans?

Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking official ever to have defected from the former Soviet bloc, says in an article for PJMedia that any doubt that the Democratic and the Communist parties had secretly joined forces was erased in 2009, “when Van Jones, part of a left fringe of declared communists, became the White House’s green jobs czar.”

Obama aide Valerie Jarrett had disclosed at a left-wing bloggers convention that “we,” apparently referring to herself and President Obama, had hired Jones for the job. However, Jones was fired when an outcry developed over his communist background, and the media quickly dropped any probes into Jones’ White House contacts.

Pacepa, who served as a top aide in the Romanian communist regime, tells Accuracy in Media, “The Democratic Party has become dangerously infected with the Marxism virus. I recognize the symptoms because I once lived through them, and I believe it is my obligation as an American citizen to help the conservative movement to prevent any further spread of Marxism in my adopted country.”

He adds that he is personally convinced that Obama is a Marxist.

Upcoming Film 'Hellbound?' Explores Ugly Debate on Hell

By Lillian Kwon , Christian Post Reporter

June 8, 2012|11:29 am

 

When it comes to the debate on hell, Kevin Miller sees nothing short of an ugly battle where Christians tend to dehumanize those who disagree with their views and show little humility.

"Something that tends to happen during these debates is that certain beliefs or doctrines ... become a sort of litmus test to help determine insiders and outsiders, to help people figure out 'are you one of us or one of them?'" the filmmaker observed.

Miller – whose previous work includes "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" with Ben Stein – is the writer and director of an upcoming documentary titled "Hellbound?" and in it he explores the many questions and the even greater number of beliefs people hold in regards to hell.

Along with theologians and pastors – including Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church and Brian McLaren – the documentary features heavy metal musicians, exorcists and people who claimed to have seen hell firsthand.

But this isn't just an academic discussion or a matter of... Read full article... Upcoming Film 'Hellbound?' Explores Ugly Debate on Hell

Judge lets lesbian cash in on 'marriage'

Michael F. Haverluck

A judge in New York has taken advocacy for normalization of same-sex “marriage” to the next level, ruling this week that a major component of the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional because it doesn’t provide the same financial benefits for homosexuals and lesbians.

The ruling from District Judge Barbara Jones was that a federal law defining marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman is not consistent with the U.S. Constitution.

“[DOMA] intrude[s] upon the states’ business of regulating domestic relations,” Jones stated in her decision this week. “That incursion skirts important principles of federalism and therefore cannot be legitimate, in this court’s view.”

There have been a number of judges who have ruled in favor of same-sex “marriage” ever since the Obama administration said it would refuse to defend the law of the land – the federal DOMA. Then Barack Obama recently announced his complete “evolution” to fully endorse same-sex “marriage.”

“President Obama has been actively promoting an agenda to undermine the nation’s marriage laws,” said Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver. “When you weaken the family, as President Obama is doing by his policies, you weaken society.”

The White House’s increased support of same-sex “marriage” is seen as emboldening more people over the past few years to sue the government by challenging existing laws under the federal DOMA.

In 2010, Edith Windsor filed the New York suit against the government to get back $363,053 that she was required to pay in federal tax on her deceased partner’s estate. The two were “married” as a same-sex couple in Canada two years before Windsor’s partner died in 2009. Windsor sued because she was ineligible to claim the unlimited marital deduction.

Striking down federal law, Jones included in her ruling that the government must reimburse Windsor the entire amount she was legally obligated to pay in estate tax.

And those supporting the homosexual agenda are hoping and claiming that the Empire State’s ruling against DOMA is more than a fad.

“[The decision is] another example of the trend of the judiciary continuing to see that treating same-sex couples differently than their heterosexual counterparts is not only wrong but goes against the laws of equality and justice here in the United States,” said Marriage Equality USA Executive Director Brian Silva.

The American Civil Liberties Union is endorsed the normalization of homosexual behavior.

“[This] adds to what has become an avalanche of decisions that DOMA can’t survive even the lowest level of scrutiny by the courts,” commented the ACLU director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project, James Esseks.

Even New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman applauded Wednesday’s ruling, calling it “a major step forward in the fight of equality.”

The decision came less than a week after a similar First Circuit ruling was issued in Boston that declared as unconstitutional a section of DOMA that reserved federal benefits only for couples in marriages that are between one man and one woman. On May 31, the federal court of appeals judge in Massachusetts – the first state to allow same-sex “marriage” in 2004 – affirmed a 2010 decision made by a federal judge.

But Staver says that this battle over DOMA is far from over, as the U.S. Court of Appeals indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final say in the Bay State’s matter.

“We have done our best to discern the direction of these precedents, but only the Supreme Court can finally decide this unique case,” Staver explained regarding the final outcome of the Massachusetts case, which he believes has been poorly judged.

“This ruling makes no sense. A state cannot dictate the kind of benefits the federal government must provide,” contested Staver. “If a state recognizes polygamy, does that mean that the federal government must also recognize multiple spouses? Absolutely not! This decision is the proverbial tail wagging the dog.”

Yet these types of decisions aren’t only seen on the East Coast. The tide of judicial activism to abolish marriage protections began earlier this year when a couple of federal judges in California ruled that DOMA works to violate “married” same-sex couples’ due-process rights. With the push over the years to legalize same-sex “marriage” much legislation has taken place across the United States.

Since 1996, more than 30 states have approved and instituted amendments to protect marriage as between one man and one woman, while eight states allow – or are in the final stages of allowing – same-sex “marriage,” including Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Iowa, Maryland and Washington State, as well as Washington, D.C. Legislation allowing same-sex “marriage” is not yet in effect in the latter two states, where referendums could determine their final fate.

Despite all of the political and judicial maneuverings over same-sex “marriage” that are taking place just months out from this year’s presidential election, pro-family advocates want America to remember the most important thing at stake here.

“Children fare best when raised with a mom and a dad,” Staver said. “Redefining marriage to something it was not intended to be weakens the family and is not in the best interest of children or society.”

What is the New Atheism?

Question: "What is the New Atheism?"

Answer: The early 21st century has seen secularism and atheism promoted throughout the Western world with an ever-increasing vigor and militancy. This has led to the emergence of the “new atheists,” notable members of which include best-selling authors such as Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens.

The contention of the new atheists is, obviously, that there is no God. Adherents to the philosophy of new atheism believe that blind, natural forces are responsible for all of reality which we perceive. The new atheists do not restrict themselves to a passive disbelief. Rather, they are actively engaged in admonishing others to follow suit, to declare their non-belief in God, and to take the necessary steps to rid the world of religious belief and practice. As outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins puts it in The God Delusion, “I do everything in my power to warn people against faith itself.”

An ironic feature of the new atheism is its strong faith in the inferiority of... "Read more: What is the New Atheism?

Why does unbelief appear to be increasing in the world today?

Question: "Why does unbelief appear to be increasing in the world today?"

Answer: Studies show that unbelief is indeed on the rise these days. We are living in increasingly secular times and, unfortunately, those who do not believe in the truth of Scripture often seem to have the loudest voices in the public domain. Skeptics are becoming bolder and more vocal, and their influence is seen in education, entertainment, court systems, and government. They have made significant progress toward their goal of having God’s name entirely removed from the public realm.

Add to this the fact that we are living in what some call the most “biblically illiterate times,” and it’s apparent why unbelief is on the rise and why moral standards continue to deteriorate. Other factors include the pervasiveness of secular humanism; the church’s halfhearted adherence to the hard truths God’s Word; the significant growth of New Age and Eastern religions; the attempts to redefine the family; the postmodern rejection of absolutes; and the aggressive rise of the New Atheists.

The bottom line is this... Read more: Why does unbelief appear to be increasing in the world today?

How much power does Satan possess?

Satan Is Real (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 Answer: Satan was an angel created by God who turned against God’s authority (Isaiah 14:13) and became the head of a kingdom of evil spirits called demons, his “angels” (Matthew 25:41). His power both in the heavenly realm and on earth is great and should not be underestimated. However, while Satan and his forces are formidable enemies, Jesus Christ crushed Satan’s power, fulfilling the prophecy of Genesis 3:15. The cross of Christ won the victory (John 12:31). “The prince of this world now stands condemned” (John 16:11), and Jesus will one day destroy Satan’s power completely and purify creation (2 Peter 3:10).
