HSLDA | Prosecutor to Homeschoolers: No Compromise--You're Going to Jail!

"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.”"

A mob of 3000 Muslims attacks Coptic Christians(2) (OneNewsNow.com)

"After a 21-year-old Coptic Christian in Farshoot, Egypt was accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Muslim girl, chaos broke loose. Last week a mob of nearly 3000 Muslims attacked police and Copts, planning to kidnap the man they claimed to be responsible for the assault.

Throughout the calamity, wooden crosses were burned, innocent victims were severely injured, and seven Coptic women were abducted. The Assyrian International News Agency says it seems evident that attacks were preplanned, and police did little to stop it. Not a single arrest was made."

Roseanne Barr: George W. Bush Stole All The Country's Money | NewsBusters.org

"Did you know that last year's banking crisis was all President George W. Bush's fault, and that when he left the White House in January, he 'walked out the door with all the money?'

You didn't? Well, that's what comedienne Roseanne Barr thinks.

Such was said by Barr at an ACORN event in Watts, California, nine months ago, in a video just discovered by The Fox Nation"

To Kos, Taliban's Real Crime Is Being Un-PC | NewsBusters.org

"Why does Kos say he hates the Taliban? Because they aided and abetted Osama Bin Laden in the murder of thousands of Americans? Nope. That they are actively engaged in killing American troops in Afghanistan? Guess again. No, the Taliban's real crime—the only complaint Kos mentions— is that . . . they're not PC. Not feminist. Not gay-friendly. Hell, they might even be opposed to stem cell research.

Oh, and for good measure, Kos calls conservative Republicans like Michelle Bachmann 'the American Taliban.' What was that about dissent being patriotic?"

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.

Female? Black? Gay? All three? Then you're more likely to become an MP under controversial new plans | Mail Online

"Controversial plans were unveiled yesterday to force political parties to make Parliament less white, male, middle-class and heterosexual.

Under proposals backed by Commons Speaker John Bercow, but labelled as 'insulting' by former Tory minister Ann Widdecombe, parties will be made to declare publicly how many women, ethnic minority, gay and disabled applicants they reject as potential Parliamentary candidates."

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.

High school performs 'gay' musical on Thanksgiving

"Students at a high school in Massachusetts are opening theater doors today for a free performance of scenes from their upcoming musical, a tale about a bisexual father torn between his family and his 'gay' lover."

Concord's public high school also caught the attention of MassResistance, when, on Palm Sunday in 2006, it hosted a performance of the Boston Gay Men's Chorus.

"Public school officials in Massachusetts," wrote a MassResistance email at the time, "seem to be looking for creative ways to push the homosexual agenda in the most offensive ways possible."

Religious leaders vow civil disobedience on anti-life issues - Washington Times

"More than 150 leaders across a spectrum of conservative Christianity on Friday released a 4,700-word document vowing civil disobedience if they are forced to take part in 'anti-life acts' or bless gay marriages."

"Throughout the centuries, Christianity has taught that civil disobedience is not only permitted, but sometimes required," says the document which cited civil rights icon Martin Luther King and his willingness to go to jail for his beliefs.

'Gay' blogger calls church-bomb threat a 'joke'

"'The First Amendment gives you the right of free speech but it does not grant the right to claim you have a bomb in your luggage at the airport, it doesn't give you the right to claim you have a bomb in a movie theater,' LaBarbera said. 'It doesn't protect saying you'll shut up these Christians up by strapping bombs [on] and blowing up churches.'"

Green views now the same as a religion after environmentalist wins claim that he was sacked because of his beliefs | Mail Online

"Green beliefs are as worthy of protection in the workplace as religious ones, a judge ruled yesterday in a landmark case.

Democrats stealing the votes and victory here...again?

GOP sweep: Big governor victories in Virginia, NJ - Yahoo! News

"In both states, the surveys also suggested the Democrats had difficulty turning out their base, including the large numbers of first-time minority and youth voters whom Obama attracted. The Virginia electorate was whiter in 2009 than it was in 2008, when blacks and Hispanics voted in droves to elect the country's first black president."

Again the media goes for the race card, saying things that if it were reversed would be called "racist" or 'bigoted" in their approach.

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."
