This is a sad Veterans Day. The pain and grief of the Fort Hood massacre by the radical Islamic terrorist - Hassan - is still heavy upon our hearts and souls.
However, we need to remember and give heartfelt thanks to all of our Veterans today. Without them, we wouldn't have the protections and freedom in this country that we all enjoy.
Nice Deb has a Veterans Day Video Tribute and Linkfest at her blog. The video is a tribute to the men and women who serve this Country, past present and future. Lots of great articles to read at the additional links.
In other news, an article that caught my eye this morning (via The Obama File) is from The American Spectator: The Man Who Despises America.
Someone needed to say it like it truly is. This is why so many millions of TEA Party activists (Glenn Beck alone has over 30 million radio/T.V. listeners) have that gut-wrenching bad feeling in their stomachs regarding our current bogus POTUS and radical Congress.
The hard and cruel facts about Obama within the article are difficult to refute. The author's arguments are extremely obvious - except to the mindset of the hardcore Obama Kool-aid drinking, liberalism-is-a-mental disorder people who choose to keep their heads in the sand and their Resident-in-Chief idol on a pedestal. One day, that pedestal will come crumbling down - and Obama's tyranny will come crashing down with it.
Wait and see! In November, 2010 all of America will be actively involved in voting the bums out of Congress - all of whom have been complicit in Obama's dreadful policies and destruction of America. Lame duck status (or, even better - impeachment) for ObamaFRAUD cannot come soon enough!

Motives Behind Gay Activist Hate Against Christians
The intolerance of homosexual ACTIVISTS (NOTE: I'm NOT claiming that ALL homosexuals act this way); particularly against Christians and Mormons who voted for Proposition 8 in California has escalated to a whole new level.
The firestorm of hate, disparagement, cursing, ridicule, debasement, mocking, filthy language etc. that was hurled at Miss California, Carrie Prejean WAS UNCONSCIONABLE for a civil society. Yet, many of the loonie leftists (including the Lamestream Media of Mass Deception proponents like Olberdummy) jumped right on the bandwagon to hurl insults at a young, 21-year-old woman who simply answered a question WHEN ASKED HER HONEST OPINION during a beauty pageant.
Will you be next?
When you express your opinion on this particular hot-button issue, will YOU BE MERCILESSLY ATTACKED BY THESE RADICALS?
In the email (below) the following paragraph tells us what is REALLY at stake. It has far more nefarious repercussions than the battle over "same-sex" marriage. Note the statement I have highlighted in bold.
Just ask one woman who appeared at a rally as a "Yes On Prop. 8" supporter what was done to her! Better yet, if you have not seen it when it was recorded back in November 2008 - see for yourself through this well done ADF video:
Alliance Defense Fund email:
Pretense of Tolerance is Over
Christians are no longer free to disagree
The ACLU and its allies, are committed to push the mute button on those who disagree with them. Just how committed are they?
You’ll be shocked at the depth they’ve sunk to in their efforts. It has turned very, very ugly out there—especially after Arizona, California, and Florida voters enacted state constitutional marriage amendments, protecting biblical marriage, last November. The democratic process itself is under assault.
This is evidenced by the ACLU and its allies’ selective opposition to the democratic principle of free elections. It would prefer that courts force same-sex “marriage” on the nation. If you can’t beat them at the ballot box, go to court and sue them. Seriously! Just look at what the former head of the ACLU said after the people of Alaska overwhelmingly enacted a marriage amendment: “Today’s results prove that certain fundamental issues should not be left up to a majority vote.” So, no sooner did voters in California enact Proposition 8, the ACLU ran again to the court and demanded that it overturn the results of the state’s marriage amendment.
Many of you, those who believe in marriage as God intended – the union between one man and one woman, only – joined together in the fight to protect this important issue. Some gave money. For some Californians who gave $100 or more, they got the shock of their life.
Californians Against Hate took personal information from the secretary of state’s website about donors to California’s Proposition 8 campaign and posted it on a Google Internet map. As the Google map and personal information became known, retaliation followed against individuals that had donated money to restore marriage as the union between one man and one woman in the Golden State.
Personal property was vandalized.
Profanity was spray-painted on churches.
Businesses were hounded into firing employees who had donated to Prop. 8.
Death threats were sent to Prop. 8 supporters.
White powder was mailed to make recipients fear that they had come into contact with the deadly substance anthrax.
Do these outrageous actions resemble anything even remotely close to “tolerance”?
No, these shameless acts are the last resort of people who have taken off the gloves of “tolerance” for the express purpose of coercing opponents into surrender. The ACLU and its allies cannot tolerate a truly fair democratic process, so instead they seek advantage by intimidating and punishing citizens that disagree with their agenda.
Christians are treated harshly for living out their faith. One organization alone—the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)—is positioned to provide effective, winning legal protection for the Body of Christ.
ADF and our allied attorneys are intervening in these and other cases to seek relief for the victims of intolerance, to protect their freedom to disagree. We’re applying our unique tried-and-true system of training attorneys, forming strategy, funding cases, and litigating. Using this pattern, we’ve won more than 3 out of every 4 cases litigated to completion. By the grace of God, ADF aims to continue our legacy as a one-of-a-kind legal organization that WINS.
The Body of Christ deserves nothing less in these alarming times. Stand with ADF through your prayers and financial gifts today.

Conservative Christians have been sounding the alarm bells for years against the radical homosexual agenda going on across our nation. The ACLU and the courts in other states didn't waste any time FORCING RULINGS AND/OR LEGISLATION in their states to get "same-sex marriage" legalized. They learned (via CA Prop. 8 results) that if they leave it up to the public vote (which is the way it SHOULD be done in each state), the gay marriage initiatives LOSE EVERY TIME. Even in a state as LIBERAL as California - voters came out in droves to proclaim what the definition and institution of marriage has been for thousands of years - the union of one man and one woman.
If Prop. 8 HAD NOT PASSED - then "same-sex marriage" would have been legalized and written into the state constitution! Could you imagine what would have happened to Carrie Prejean if that was the case? She may have been handcuffed and carted off to jail for a "speech hate crime" against "homosexuals" because she didn't express the "politically correct" answer to the question she was given!
Do you think that scenario is unlikely? In Massachusetts - the gay activists have the attitude, "it's legal now - you can't oppose us anymore." A man who wanted to be notified when homosexual indoctrination was going on in his son's kindergarten class (so he could take him out of the class to avoid such lessons) was handcuffed and taken to jail for "trespassing" and refusing to leave until he got his answer from the principal of the school (who - obviously refused to do as he asked).
The truth of the matter is that homosexual activists will NEVER be satisfied until Christians (and/or any religious persons who disagree with them) are COMPLETELY SILENCED. What's more, they will work the courts through "hate crimes" legislation to shut anyone up who holds to the biblical, God ordained mandate and definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
I certainly applaud the woman in the video who stood up for her free speech rights, her religious freedom rights, her freedom of association rights, and her courage to face such rabid, hate-filled hard-core radicals like those who were in the video.

Why Hatred is Spewed Against Miss California
While cooking dinner and watching O'Reilly, I was pleasantly surprised to see Pastor Miles on the show! He was being questioned about the continual hatred being spewed against Miss California, Carrie Prejean by the far left loons.
Pastor Miles gave GREAT answers! I loved the answer he shared whenever the gay rights movement vs. the black civil rights movement question comes up. They don't compare. One is a behavior, the other involves skin color and ethnicity. He said (paraphrased), 'I know several people who are not gay anymore, but never met anyone who isn't black anymore.'
The media portrays "gayness" as something unchangeable. That is why the radical gay agenda activists absolutely HATE anyone who has changed their orientation! It is a threat to their perceived "rights" agenda.
The same hate is aimed at any popular national spokesperson - like new spokeswoman for National Organization for Marriage - Carrie Prejean, who advocates for God's plan for marriage. After all - God invented the union of one man and one woman as a covenant relationship. Science and reason back up such wisdom and knowledge as well.
Those who fight against that covenant which was first established by God have not only an argument with millions of people who uphold such unions (as most born-again biblically-based Christians do), but they also are attempting to argue with, and fight against God's will, science, and reason in the matter! This is why their spirits are so disturbed and they act out in hate, anger, slander, cursing, and disparagement.
The truth is, they are in a lot of pain and anger - not because of those who reject "marriage" for them - but because they are spiritually broken and reject God's will in their lives.
Miss California's pronouncement reminded them of that truth - even though they would absolutely refuse to admit it. She reminded them of their spiritual brokenness and separation from God because of their refusal to confess, repent, and submit to His Will in their lives. Jesus warned us that people would, "hate us because they first hated him."
Most Christians are more heavily aware of the spiritual battle behind it all. However, deep in each person's soul, the difference between right (good) and wrong (evil) has been planted in our conscience by God. Anyone can hide and reject such awareness and commit evil, sinful acts. They can even go further to proclaim what they do as "goodness and righteousness," despite the fact that God's Word reveals it as evil and sin. But when they do so, they are in denial.
The homosexual community is a cult. They, and their cohorts, are deeply involved with denial and are actively suppressing that truth. They are in bondage to their particular sin - and they will fight to the death not to allow it to be revealed and exposed as such. This is why they will do all that they can to punish anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda. They continue to shake their fists at God and refuse to do the one thing that will save them from their sins!
It is only with a humbling of oneself before God, confession, repentance, accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and the continuing sanctification in this life that a person who self-identifies as homosexual can be released from the bondage of that behavior and identity as well as the punishment (which we all, as sinners in need of the Savior deserve) that results because of such sin.
But it takes an act of the will to do so.
It involves denying the wrong fleshly desires and agreeing with God as to what is proper in a sexual relationship via the covenant of marriage.
Some will always refuse God's mercy, grace, love, and forgiveness and continue to go their own way. This is to their own detriment.
All we can do, as believers, is point them in the right direction towards Jesus Christ.
Pro 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
Pro 12:15 The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.
Mat 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Jhn 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jhn 3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
