Maryland State Song Correct - Lincoln A Despot John Lofton & Pastor David Whitney / The American View: On this program, recorded on November 19, the date in 1863 when Abraham Lincoln delivered the "Gettysburg Address," co-host John Lofton and "Institute On The Constitution" Senior Instructor Pastor David Whitney examine and analyze Lincoln's record of despotism and tyranny. You'll hear H.L. Mencken's comment that the "Gettyburg Address" was, in effect, a lie because it was Union soldiers who fought against self-determination. Also discussed: Lincoln's racism; his anti-Christianity; and a couple of books you can order that tell the truth about "Dishonest Abe." http…

Child-Centered Society The Netherlands and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child If you could choose any country in the world in which to raise your child, which would you choose? You might be inclined to choose the comforts of the United States or Britain, the charm of European mainstays like France and Germany, the Mediterranean climate of Italy, Spain or Tuscany, or the thrill of expanding opportunities in Hong Kong and Japan. But according to the United Nations, the best place for you to raise your children is in a small cluster of countries nestled in Northern Europe. That?s because the rights of your children are most likely to be protected in Sweden, …

I don't suppose there is, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. Some of you must know more than I do about ears. Ever since my college days, I've had a tad bit of problems with my ears - nothing big, but just a bit of botheration now and then. I remember having bad earaches once or twice when I was in college, but I never did anything about them. Since then, I would have pain especially in my left ear if I sleep on it too hard, but it only happens now and then - almost like arthritis or something - where I'd have spurts of time where it would bother me every night for a while, and then it wouldn't bother me for a long while, etc.. I always have to find THE softest pill…

We have put Nathaniel into school for this year, and today is dress-up day for Thanksgiving. They were to dress up as Pilgrims or Indians. Nathaniel chose to be an Indian. He drew a very detailed picture of an indian outfit on his magna-doodle of what his outfit was to look like. Here is the result of his drawings. Elizabeth made this in 4 days time.

I'll be the 1st one to say, our economy in America, I know little about, but I do not like the way its is built or run. But that said, do you think that the very high gas prices rushed up the troubles that we are now having. We all know for fact the high gas prices affect everything we buy. Today gas here was down to $1.86 unleaded regular.

She was sitting on the pew, being good, when she decided to change positions. Somehow, she ended up rolling head over heels onto the floor. When she got up, she came over to me and just sat on my lap all bewildered as to what just happened.

President-elect promised change, picking insiders AP ? WASHINGTON ? President-elect Barack Obama promised the voters change but has started his Cabinet selection process by naming several Washington insiders to top posts. Obama is enlisting former Senate leader Tom Daschle as his health secretary. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a well-known Washington personality, seemed more likely than ever to be his secretary of state. Clinton is deciding whether to take that post as America's top diplomat, her associates said Wednesday Obama is ready to announce that his attorney general will be Eric Holder, the Justice Department's No. 2 when Clinton's husband was president.

Palin blames Bush policies for GOP defeat WASILLA, Alaska ? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, amid speculation she'll run for president in four years, blamed Bush administration policies for the defeat last week of the GOP ticket and prayed she wouldn't miss "an open door" for her next political opportunity. "I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door," Palin said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. "And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plo…

(I wonder how much of this is real and how much is hype. It's interesting how the media ignored groups of Black Panthers and NOI who have been involved in "racist" activities and how the media is ignoring how some groups of blacks are now gloating that it's their turn to "get whitey".) Election spurs 'hundreds' of race threats, crimes AP Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.…

BARACK OBAMA IS AN UNCLE TOM By Dr. Patrick Jonston November 16, 2008 NewsWithViews.com Uncle Tom was the figure in Harriet Beecher Stow's famous novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Instead of resisting the enslavement of his race, he helped his slave-owners maintain their control over the lesser field slaves. Uncle Toms would be useful in mistreating and punishing the other slaves, and would receive preferential treatment for it. Obama's an Uncle Tom. Obama has officially consorted with Planned Parenthood in the slaughter of millions of black babies, and in office he plans to expand the reach of the child-killers. In July of 2007, Obama told Planned Parenthood t…

Fellow Business Executives: As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have accepted the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off eight of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled through our par…

Well, I was reading dwayner's uh post and decided I would put my own news up. The first of last week my wife and I went to the doctor and confirmed she is expecting. We feel very blessed. Her regular doctor put a due date of March 22 (funny the same day as Dwayner's) but then she spoke to the OBGYN on the phone and they put a due date of March 15. Of course the baby will come when God says it is time!! She is to go see the OBGYN on the Aug 13th. She has been sick the last two weeks.

Whats the real story behind Carbon 14 Dating ? Also what stance should a believer take as far as creation ? Progressive Day creation seems (if I read it right) too much like the big bang except with a different twist to it. I have always took to a Young Earth stance. Always thought science backed it air tight. However, some of what used to be Young Earth has been seemingly revised. I know Ken Ham from http://www.answersingenesis.com is a a stout Young Earth believer, so am curious to hear what the feedback might be......

November 11, 2008 Big Brother, May I? Soon, You?ll Need Uncle Sam?s Permission to Travel Almost Anywhere Last year, I wrote that if Uncle Sam gets its way, we?d all be on no-fly lists, unless the government gives us permission to leave?or re-enter?the United States. That day has now arrived, but in addition to obtaining Big Brother?s permission to travel internationally, a final rule pursuant to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration?s ?Secure Flight? initiative says we must now get it to travel from state-to-state.? For now, permission to travel applies only to air transport. However, the TSA could of course extend it to train, bus, or auto trav…

I am not sure if anyone has ever heard of this radio program but I just found out that it is produced by the Seventh Day Adventists. It made me sick to my stomach because I had just purchased some of their tapes for my family.
