Obama Admin Encourages Moms to Kill Babies

Catholic League president Bill Donohue speaks to the Omnibus Spending Bill just passed by the Senate:

The Congress is now officially on record approving a bill that tells mothers in Washington, D.C. that if they decide to take their baby to term, and elect to send their child to a private school—just like the one that President Obama and his wife have chosen for their own children—they can do it on their own dime: the successful voucher scholarship program that 1,700 poor kids were enrolled in is now dead. But if these same mothers decide to abort their babies, the same government will rush to pay their bills.

Most of those affected are black. The bill will soon be signed into law by America’s first black president. Is there anyone so stupid not to understand what is going on?

Obamas UnAmerican - Again!

Duly elected by the lunatic fringe left, declared friend to Islamic nations, proclaimer that America is no longer a Christian nation -in his opinion, President B. Hussein Obama has once again stepped forward to deny the traditions that define America. In his march to change America from the greatest nation on Earth, Hussein is now messing with America's favorite holiday. From the Catholic League, comes the announcement that:

OBAMAS WOULD LIKE TO NEUTER CHRISTMAS

In yesterday’s New York Times, there was an article about White House social secretary Desirée Rogers. In it, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote: “When former social secretaries gave a luncheon to welcome Ms. Rogers earlier this year, one participant said, she surprised them by suggesting the Obamas were planning a ‘non-religious Christmas….’”

This same participant said that “the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display” (this was confirmed by the White House). Indeed, as Stolberg wrote, “there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the crèche.”

Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:

Unlike almost all Americans—including atheists—the Obamas do not give their children Christmas gifts. We know this because Barack bragged about this last year to People magazine. So it should come as no big surprise that he and his wife would like to neuter Christmas in the White House. That’s their natural step—to ban the public display of Christian symbols. Have any doubts? Last April, Georgetown University was ordered to put a drape over the name of Jesus as a condition of the president speaking there.

If the Obamas want to deprive their children of celebrating Christmas, that is their business. It is the business of the public to hold them accountable for the way they celebrate Christmas in the White House. We know one thing for sure: no other administration ever entertained internal discussions on whether to display a nativity scene in the White House.

Impeach, repeal, or somehow oust Obama - he's NOT one of us!

What About CHRISTmas???

As soon as it starts turning cooler weather, some people start trying to take over Christmas, saying that we need to change it and change the words used to describe it and change the symbols and traditions of it, just so it will fit their ideas and opinions. Some want Christmas to reflect a modern American frame of mind. Like Americans own Christmas!

Christmas, as a spiritual holiday (that's short for Holy Day, BTW), has been celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ since the 1200s throughout Europe, the Middle East, and northern Africa (Murray, Alexander, "Medieval Christmas", History Today, December 1986). It is celebrated today in almost every culture in the world, and in those who don't celebrate it, it is acknowledged as a Christian Holy Day.

The only official connection America has to the Christmas Holy Day is through governmental establishment for a federal holiday. Most other connections are through religious organizations. This isn't the only time in history there have been conflicts over the celebration of Christmas. The butcher and murder, Oliver Cromwell, was instrumental in getting Christmas celebrations banned in England. And even more recently in America opposing sides have favored or eschewed the holiday, calling it both a tribute to Christ's birth and an insult to a sacred event which had become an excuse for debauchery and rioting. This was during the earliest days of Pilgrim-led America.

Then there was Christmas's contribution to the Civil War.

The North and South were divided on the issue of Christmas, as well as on the question of slavery. Many Northerners saw sin in the celebration of Christmas; to these people the celebration of Thanksgiving was more appropriate. But in the South, Christmas was an important part of the social season. Not surprisingly, the first three states to make Christmas a legal holiday were in the South: Alabama in 1836, Louisiana and Arkansas in 1838. (http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/ch/in_america.htm)

With Christmas celebrations having such a spotted history, perhaps it's time to stop fighting over what to call a particular tree - Christmas or holiday - or whether to show the Christ child or Santa Clause at school, or even whether or not the annual end-of-year sales events should be called Christmas sales. Perhaps we should step back to the original intent of the founders of America and our earliest Founding Fathers who preferred a quiet, family oriented time of peaceful reflection and prayer.

Let the heathens throw their holiday parties and fight over the last of the latest fad gift. Let's, as Christians who are supposed to be celebrating the birth of our Lord of Peace, refocus on praising God for His blessings as we enter a season of cold and bleakness. Let's demonstrate to the world what Christmas should look like.

God bless us, every one!

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation

This proclamation was made by our first president. Wonder if our latest president would be willing to make the same appeal to God for His blessing.

This is the text of George Washington's October 3, 1789 national Thanksgiving Proclamation; as printed in The Providence Gazette and Country Journal, on October 17, 1789.

By the President of the United States of America.

A Proclamation.

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 to implore His protection and favor; and whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him:

• to pardon our national and other transgressions;
• to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually;
• to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed;
• to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord;
• to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us;
• and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

G. Washington.
(list of prayer subjects, mine)

It's hard for me to imagine Barack Hussein Obama making a public proposal such as this. He has already declared that our nation, in his opinion, is not a Christian nation.

Of course, the vast majority of this country believes otherwise, that we were ordained into existence by a benevolent Jewish-Christian God, Jehovah, and that the men and women who were instrumental in forming this union were God-fearing, honorable, noble people who were intent on creating a safe haven for good people who wanted to flee oppression and find freedom from more of what they had rejected.

May God bless America and may He keep us within His will, following the precepts and hopes of the founders.
