Jimmy Carter: Abuse of Women? Blame the Catholics and Southern Baptists

"In an address to a gathering sponsored by the World Parliament of Religions (PWR) last Friday, former US President Jimmy Carter has once again blamed traditional religion, particularly Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics, for 'creating an environment where violations against women are justified.'

...Carter appeals to his authority as someone who has 'taught Bible lessons for more than 65 years.'

In opposition to the vast majority of authentic scholars and historians, Carter asserted: 'It's clear that during the early Christian era women served as deacons, priests, bishops, apostles, teachers and prophets.' He added: 'It wasn't until the 4th century or the 3rd at the earliest that dominant Christian leaders, all men, twisted and distorted Holy Scriptures to perpetuate their ascendant position within the religious hierarchy.'

Contrary to the theorizing of Carter, Pope John Paul II taught, 'The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.' He added: 'the Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.' (Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1577)

Carter singled out the Southern Baptist Convention and Roman Catholic Church, claiming that they 'view that the Almighty considers women to be inferior to men.' However, both Christian faiths hold to the Scriptural truth that God created men and women equal.

Carter suggests that only in permitting women to become priests and pastors could male religious leaders choose to interpret teachings to exalt rather than subjugate women. 'They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter, subjugation,' he said.

'Their continuing choice provides a foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world,' said Carter. Carter goes on to list horrific violations against women such as rape, genital mutilation, abortion of female embryos and spousal battery.

Responding to Carter's nearly identical points in July, John Paul Meenan, Professor of Theology at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry's Bay, Ontario characterized Carter's points as 'ridiculous,' noting that there was no evidence of the ordination of women in the early Church.

Moreover, Meenan stressed that historically Christianity ought to be credited for promoting the dignity of women. 'It is the Church that invariably improved the lot of women in the lands that were converted and Christianized,' he said."

"Prosecutor to Homeschoolers: No Compromise—You’re Going to Jail!

Juergen and Rosemary Dudek of Archfeldt, Germany, were sentenced to 90 days in prison in July 2008 because they homeschool their children. Their sentence was overturned by an appeals court because of a legal error, and a new trial was ordered. Their new trial began November 16. German news reports indicate the judge appears disposed to seek a compromise. But prosecutor Herwig Mueller has vowed to appeal any sentence that does not include jail time for these parents, who have been in the spotlight for years because of their insistence on homeschooling. This was the same prosecutor who appealed the lower court sentence of only a fine, saying to the family, “You don’t have to worry about the fine because I will send you to jail.”"

Media Promote Church Involvement In Politics...For Liberal Agendas | NewsBusters.org

In all of their indignation over a church being involved in politics, they must have forgotten about the recent past when President Obama asked churches to help him push government-mandated healthcare. When ministers stepped into the politicial discussion back then, media outlets were more than willing to celebrate it.

In late August of this year, President Obama held a meeting with left-leaning religious leaders to convince them that government mandated healthcare was a "moral imperative," and that ministers should be involved in educating their fold on the issue.

The media protrayed the meeting as a great idea and praised the ministers who attended. MSNBC ran an article from CQ writer Jane Norman that gushed with excitement over sermons laced with politics and prayer meetings aimed at congressional districts:

The "40 Days for Health Reform" initiative by the interfaith groups will include prayer services in congressional districts, meetings of religious leaders with members of Congress and a "Nationwide Health Care Sermon Weekend" with preaching from the pulpit on the need for a health care overhaul. The leaders say they're the ones who see up close the problems with the insurance system and the need for change.

Parties also face demands to ensure at least half the MPs leaving Parliament at the next election - in what is expected to be the biggest exodus since 1945 - are replaced by women.

Christian groups bring different messages to Pride event | ajc.com

"This year, two evangelical ministers who are walking a middle path between outright condemnation and full affirmation of gay people took a booth and surprised those stopping by with apologies.

'I just want to say I'm sorry,' Jason Harper, an assistant pastor from Sacramento, Calif., told a man as he handed him a white rubber bracelet with 'We're Sorry' indented into it.

Harper continued, he is sorry for the way many churches have treated gay people, making them feel like outcasts. The man paused, looked Harper in the eye and thanked him before disappearing.

Harper and Craig Gross wrote a book, 'No Matter Who You Are or What You've Done, Jesus Loves You, This I Know' (Baker Books $17.99), about their experiences with prisoners, porn stars, Las Vegas strip down-and-outers and other strangers to church. They attended Atlanta Pride as part of the book tour. They don't condemn gay people, but they won't affirm a gay relationship as an ideal union. That typically does not come up in their brief apologies.

Renee Randall, a gay Georgia State University student, smiled and chatted with Harper and Gross after an apology.

'I think it's a message that people need to know,' she said after leaving the booth."

Keep in mind that estimates of the number of Chinese deaths during China's Cultural Revolution range from 2 to 7 million people. Mao Zedong was admired by many academics and leftists across our country. Just think back to the campus demonstrations of the '60s and '70s when campus radicals, often accompanied by their professors, marched around singing the praises of Mao and waving Mao's little red book, 'Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong.' Forty years later some of these campus radicals are tenured professors and administrators at today's universities and colleges, as well as schoolteachers and principals indoctrinating our youth."

SHERMAN FREDERICK: Enough is enough, Harry - Opinion - ReviewJournal.com

"Such behavior cannot go unchallenged.

You could call Reid's remark ugly and be right. It certainly was boorish. Asinine? That goes without saying.

But to fully capture the magnitude of Reid's remark (and to stop him from doing the same thing to others) it must be called what it was -- a full-on threat perpetrated by a bully who has forgotten that he was elected to office to protect Nevadans, not sound like he's shaking them down.

No citizen should expect this kind of behavior from a U.S. senator. It is certainly not becoming of a man who is the majority leader in the U.S. Senate. And it absolutely is not what anyone would expect from a man who now asks Nevadans to send him back to the Senate for a fifth term.

If he thinks he can push the state's largest newspaper around by exacting some kind of economic punishment in retaliation for not seeing eye to eye with him on matters of politics, I can only imagine how he pressures businesses and individuals who don't have the wherewithal of the Review-Journal.

For the sake of all who live and work in Nevada, we can't let this bully behavior pass without calling out Sen. Reid. If he'll try it with the Review-Journal, you can bet that he's tried it with others. So today, we serve notice on Sen. Reid that this creepy tactic will not be tolerated."

Czar's 'communist manifesto' scrubbed from Net

"Van Jones, special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is an admitted black nationalist and radical communist.

Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM.

STORM's official manifesto, titled, 'Reclaiming Revolution,' had been published on the Internet.

A WND review of the 97-page treatise found that the manual describes Jones' organization as having a 'commitment to the fundamental ideas of Marxism-Leninism.'

'We agreed with Lenin's analysis of the state and the party,' reads the manifesto. 'And we found inspiration in the revolutionary strategies developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Tse-tung and Amilcar Cabral.'

Cabral is the late Marxist revolutionary leader of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands.

WND previously reported Jones named his son after Cabral and reportedly concludes every e-mail with a quote from the communist leader."

Czar: 'Spread the wealth! Change the whole system'

"Jones spoke about using what he termed an environmental revolution to push for other policies, including anti-war activism.

'If all you did was have a clean energy
revolution, you wouldn't have done anything. ... You'll have bio-fueled bombers and we'll be fighting wars over lithium for the batteries instead of oil for the engines,' he said to applause.

Woman accused of contempt for dinner blessing

"A Florida school district worker whose husband read a prayer at a private banquet has been cleared of contempt accusations brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The case arose after the Santa Rosa County School District in January agreed to eliminate all religious activity, including prayer, at school-sanctioned events.

However, district worker Michelle Winkler was at a private banquet held at a Naval base to honor non-instructional school district employees
and her husband read a brief blessing prior to the meal, according to reports of the case.

The ACLU alleged that subjected her to contempt charges.

Two other district employees also are facing charges for a similar but separate incident."

Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate said in Wednesday's decision that references to a dependence on 'Almighty God' in the law that created the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is akin to establishing a religion, which the government is prohibited from doing in the U.S. and Kentucky constitutions.

Fidel Castro says racist right-wingers fight Obama | Politics | Reuters

"President Barack Obama is trying to make positive changes in the United States, but is being fought at every turn by right-wingers who hate him because he is black, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Tuesday."

Isn't it amazing how race is the favorite run to accusation of the liberal/socialist world? They always want to run to it in order to hide what they're really up to, stop critics and investigations or calls for such into what they have done, are doing or are trying to do; or when they seek to harm the public image of their opponents of communism, socialism or progressive beliefs (which in the US we simply call liberalism).

Why isn't it an issue that a murdering, thieving, lying and spy-sending anti-American who tried to do harm to all of us Americans is one of the cheerleaders for Obama? Shouldn't this be a red flag in the first place? Since when do intelligent, well-rounded people give ear to such evil men of enemy countries?

"Former President Bill Clinton told an audience of liberal online activists Thursday evening that the nation has “entered a new era of progressive politics” that could last for decades if Democrats can pass ambitious measures such as health care reform and climate change.

In a nearly hour-long keynote address to the fourth annual Netroots Nation convention in Pittsburgh, a gathering of roughly 1,500 progressive bloggers and activists, Clinton said the nation—and public opinion—has dramatically changed in the 16 years since he took office. But he noted that President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress needed the support of the online community to achieve their agenda.

“We have entered a new era of progressive politics which, if we do it right, can last 30 or 40 years,” Clinton said. “America has rapidly moved to another place on a lot of these issues.”"

The government’s “children’s secretary” Ed Balls is behind the plan, which is aimed at problem, antisocial families. The idea is that, if a child has a more stable home life, he or she will be less likely to stray into crime and drugs."

Why does Obama support Zelaya? - Washington Times

"Manuel Zelaya wants to return to Honduras as president and then, of course, continue his efforts to be a big-time socialist dictator, a Hugo Chavez lookalike, and the surprising thing is that the Obama administration seems to want the very same thing.

It has, after all, supported this law-subverting macho-style child of privilege in his insistence on being reinstated to the office he held before being kicked out of it not in a military coup, not in some sort of illegal overthrow of a legitimate regime, but through the application of a specific law by a unanimous Honduran Supreme Court backed up by a virtually unanimous Honduran Congress.

The military did the deed, but this was not a military coup. The military was acting legally and under civilian control as it shipped Mr. Zelaya off to Costa Rica."

Some of the poor cheered him on, causing him to disregard Honduras' constitutional provision and enforcing laws that say presidents can serve one term and one term only, that amendment of this provision is prohibited and that any attempt by a president to serve a second term will result in his removal from office. Mr. Zelaya tried anyway with a planned, nonbinding referendum on the provision.

'Shut up Lou Dobbs' campaign hits stride

"The report said Klein wrote that CNN researchers found Hawaiian records were discarded in 2001 when the state's records system went electronic. Therefore, the report said, Obama's original long-form birth certificate no longer exists, and a computer-generated abbreviated version that has been promoted on the Internet is the official record.

'It seems to definitively answer the question,' Klein's e-mail said, according to the newspaper. 'Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead – because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.'"

J. Richard Cohen, chief of the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center, went even further. He wrote a letter to CNN suggesting, "Respectable news organizations should not employ reporters willing to peddle racist conspiracy theories and false propaganda. It's time for CNN to remove Mr. Dobbs from the airwaves."

Isn't it proof of dishonest behavior of men in power, and who run liberal media outlets, to use claims of "racism" and so-called "false propaganda" against those that question or disagree with their, or their political allies' ideas and actions? Why not just show the birth-certificate and stop all these games? What's he hiding?

Library Association Abandons Principle, Allows Censorship

"When an organization organizes an annual banned books week to celebrate 'the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular,' it is a little disturbing to see the same group cancel a panel discussion because one of the invited speakers is considered objectionable.

But that's how the American Library Association (ALA) handled pressure from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to silence an invited speaker for a panel discussion at its annual convention who has a perspective on Islam, jihad, and terrorism that CAIR doesn't like.

Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer, author of eight books on Islam and jihad, had been scheduled to appear July 12 on an ALA panel entitled 'Perspectives on Islam: Beyond the Stereotyping.' ALA canceled the panel after the other speakers decided to boycott the panel due to Spencer's participation. But rather than inviting others to replace them, or letting Spencer honor his commitment, the ALA capitulated and gave the critics what they wanted."

Newsmax.com - Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu

"It is helpful to recall that the Centers for Disease Control with the collusion of the media, constantly tell us that 36,000 people die from the flu each year, a figure that has been shown to be a lie. In this case, we are talking about 300 plus deaths for the entire world.

This virus continues to be an enigma for virologists. In the April 30, 2009 issue of Nature, a virologist was quoted as saying,“Where the h--l it got all these genes from we don’t know.” Extensive analysis of the virus found that it contained the original 1918 H1N1 flu virus, the avian flu virus (bird flu), and two new H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia.

DEBKAfile - Russia builds key naval HQ in Syria: Missile presence worries Israel

"A high-ranking Russian navy source reported July 21 that the Soviet-era naval maintenance base near Tartus in Syria is to be expanded and modernized to become 'fully operational.' DEBKAfile's military sources report that Russian is building the facility up as its main sea base for operations in four seas: The Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The upgrade of Russian port facilities at Tartus, its only foothold in the Mediterranean, will automatically enhance Moscow's strategic interests in Syria and Bashar Assad's regime.

The Russian source said that the 50 naval personnel and three berthing floats currently deployed at Tartus with accommodation for up a dozen warships will be beefed up with a new berthing float delivered by two tugboats from the Black Sea Fleet. DEBKAfile's sources disclose that those warships will include large vessels such as the nuclear-armed guided missile cruiser Peter the Great and the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, which called in at Tartus in January."

U.S. regulatory czar nominee wants Net 'Fairness Doctrine'

"It's hard to imagine President Obama nominating a more dangerous candidate for regulatory czar than Cass Sunstein," he says. "Not only is Sunstein an animal-rights radical, but he also seems to have a serious problem with our First Amendment rights. Sunstein has advocated everything from regulating the content of personal e-mail communications, to forcing nonprofit groups to publish information on their websites that is counter to their beliefs and mission. Of course, none of this should be surprising from a man who has said that 'limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government.' If it were up to Obama and Sunstein, everything we read online – right down to our personal e-mail communications – would have to be inspected and approved by the federal government."

'We will pass legislation this year,' Pelosi told reporters."

Former vice president Al Gore, a major climate change campaigner, is set to testify Friday.

The looming battle in Congress promises to be a tough one, with Republicans and some Democrats from coal- or oil-producing states warning of potentially catastrophic economic impacts from setting limits on emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

With no waiting for proof or a universal agreement, they rush to pass a bill that may very well crate "CATASTROPHIC ECONOMIC IMPACTS"? This is not wise at all! This is just another fear mongering of the the left to pass more anti-American laws!

Hackers stole data on Pentagon's newest fighter jet - CNN.com

"Thousands of confidential files on the U.S. military's most technologically advanced fighter aircraft have been compromised by unknown computer hackers over the past two years, according to senior defense officials."

In addition to files relating to the aircraft, hackers gained entry into the Air Force's air traffic control systems, according to the officials. Once they got in, the Internet hackers were able to see such information as the locations of U.S. military aircraft in flight.

Last month, a Pentagon annual report to Congress about China's military power said China has been making continued progress in developing cyber-warfare techniques.

The report noted that U.S. government computers were the target of "intrusions that appear to have originated" in China, although they were not confirmed to be from the Chinese military.

Killer 'green' bill to slaughter U.S. economy

With hearings in the House of Representatives on the Obama administration's energy and climate change agenda, credible opponents are voicing concern that a U.S. "green" policy may kill the economy, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports.

"Hackett attacked the Obama administration's cap-and-trade proposal that will be included in the bill to be before the House committee next week, calling the plan an indirect tax on individuals that would be as open to manipulation as the European model."

John Holdren, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy told the group that, "The energy challenge we face is actually a more difficult challenge than putting a man on the moon was."

"We have to do things that pervade our whole economy," Holdren insisted, "not just of this country but around the world, in order to get it done to the degree that is required."

Filmmaker: 'Obama, Abraham Lincoln born Muslim'

"A new Islamic film being promoted on the Internet boasts that not only was President Barack Obama born Muslim, so was Abraham Lincoln, who emancipated the slaves and commanded Union soldiers to confront the seceding South."

"The 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was born a Muslim.

According to the Quran, everybody is born a Muslim," he writes. "It is only by his own free will that a man chooses a different course for himself. In that Abraham Lincoln was not only a born Muslim but he chose to live by Islamic edicts like abolishing organized slavery; establishing equality of all human beings, democracy and accountability to God and man; core Islamic concepts as propounded in the Holy Quran."

"Such segregated Muslim communities are spreading throughout Europe at an alarming pace," Spencer writes.

He quoted Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, of the Muslim Brotherhood, who promised at a conference in Toledo, Ohio, "We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America. … Not through sword but through Da'wa (Islamic proselytizing]."

"If Western Europe does become Islamized, as demographic trends suggest, before too long America will be facing a world that is drastically different and more forbidding than today. And the same process of Islamization will proceed here – unless enough people wake up in time to head it off," Spencer's book warns.

House votes on 'hate crimes' bill

"The U.S. House Judiciary Committee will vote tomorrow on a 'hate crimes' bill that some say might allow federal officials to prosecute Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior."

"The federal government must have authority to be involved in investigating and prosecuting these crimes when state authorities cannot or will not do so."

"H.R. 1913 is a backdoor tool from the far left and radical homosexuals to shut down legitimate free speech from Christians and others who oppose their lifestyle," King said. "It is political payback from the new administration to the homosexual lobby, and could have radical ramifications."

But King noted that pastors in Europe and Canada have already been arrested for preaching against homosexuality based on similar legislation.

WND has also reported that the Obama administration has stated its dedication to strengthening "federal hate crimes legislation" and expanding "hate crimes protection."

King said Christians are acting like the proverbial frog in a slowly heating kettle that boils to death.

"They need to wake up and take action to oppose this threat to religious liberty."

Are you licensed to reload that ammo?

President Obama, who supported the handgun ban in Washington, D.C., before it was tossed by the Supreme Court, since his election has watched various proposals to ban "assault" weapons, require handgun owners to submit to mental health evaluations

"'If you reload your own ammo you may find yourself engaged in 'Illicit Manufacturing' of ammunition under an arms control treaty that President Obama started pushing last week in Mexico.'"

"The section … clearly identifies ammo reloaders that are not licensed by the government as 'Illicit Manufacturers' of ammunition.

"If ratified and the U.S. is found not to be in compliance with any provisions of the treaty – such as a provision that would outlaw reloading ammunition without a government license – President Obama would be empowered to implement regulations without congressional approval," he wrote.

"If the kind of 'change' that Obama wants is for the United States to take its marching orders from third world countries regarding our gun rights, we're in big trouble!"
