Bottom line, Jesus is the only answer to remove the stain of sin. But while politicians offer proposals for various issues, I think a post over on Ron’s blog notes a matter they don’t talk about much. And really, just talking about fatherless homes won’t prevent the death that will occur on the streets TONIGHT. There are proposals to literally get troops (national guard) on the streets of Chicago.

While I don’t see government as a vehicle for ministry, I think we agree government is to maintain some level of social order. And so it just seems in all their (presidential candidates) talking, that the politicians might have a concern for those who must live in thug infested communities. I mean they are visiting war commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I just wanted to quickly note the very real war within this nation, on streets politicians don’t walk.

Ron correctly mentions a culture of all out murder is in some communities in America. Jesus is the only hope, but it seems many don’t even speak about it. I mean they don’t speak about either the problem or the solution, neither is often mentioned. There’s talk about things that hurt a community, well a pack of thugs with guns does a pretty good job of destroying everything in their path. And they are doing it tonight, at a faster rate than most any other killer one can name.

This does not make sense. North Korea just turned over some documents relating to a claimed dismantling of their nuclear weapons program. And for being 6 months late with the information and playing the USA for fools in the past, Bush gives them a reward. Removes trade sanctions from this VERY COMMUNIST AND VERY CHRISTIAN PERSECUTING nation and removes them from the terrorist sponsor list, so quickly.

Check out this, House Republicans blast Bush for North Korea decision.

I respectfully disagree with our President’s decision. And if he could run for a 3rd term, I could never bring myself to vote for him.

Now it’s possible some Americans will not get some type of work, that is instead done by North Korea! Bush is even moving ahead of the UN sanctions that were put in place in 2006. When North Korea was doing nuclear weapons testing.

This is just insanity, but it’s the law. We might as well say it was a grant of US Citizenship!

One of the 5 on trial for 9/11 related crimes is none other than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, confessed architect of the 9/11 plot. That’s right folks, old KSM and all the rest of the enemies our troops were killed by and fought to apprehend now have rights under the US Constitution . Those behind 9/11 now have “rights”. This also means if Osama Bin Laden was captured and at Club Gitmo, he’d have “rights”. I guess now we have an “alleged” enemy, till proven an enemy in a civilian court!

This also means more of your tax dollars will be spent in the new legal red tape terrorists (now “alleged terrorists” given their new rights) will use in exercising their new rights.

update 7/3/2008 6:44PM: Turns out KSM and others who have ALREADY BEEN CHARGED are not part of the Supreme Court ruling. However if someone already charged like KSM loses their case, they could appeal and seek the same rights granted to Gitmo prisoners who have not yet been charged. And any new terrorist captured is covered by the ruling. So capture Osama bin Laden tonight and he’s got rights, yuck!

Check out the post over at Little Green Footballs titled Google Brushes off Lieberman’s Request to Remove Terrorist Content.

And remember Tens of Christian YouTube Accounts Suspended for Speaking Against the Cult of Muhammad (Islam).

There are lots of other video services out there. It would be a good idea to try using them and not rely on Google/YouTube alone.

Of course if your nation does not go around “building” Muslim nations, than your military does not encounter issues like these.

And while US military officials are out kissing Qurans, Christians in Iraq face continual persecution from Muslims and where is the protest?

• Persecution of Christians in Iraq.
• Iraqi Christians Seek Protection from Islamists
• CBS News report: Vicar: Dire Times For Iraq’s Christians

Who is in Iraq to protect the persecuted Christians? If you didn’t know, there are not many Christians still in the area. The so-called Religion of Peace Muslims have caused most of them to flee.

The Quran is a book of lies. If you want the truth, read the Bible with 66 books instead. Not that the solider should have done something that might stir up anger over shooting up a book of lies, but I just find these responses to such things to be interesting. Seeing our military in the service of Iraq’s Muslims, while the Christians are being persecuted by the Muslims there. And if a Muslim is harmed even while in prison, it results in Congressional hearings.

(As always, efforts to promote the cult of Muhammad are not allowed in comments here, 2 John 1:10-11.)

update 5/20/2008 10:26AM: US President George W. Bush has apologised to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki over the shooting of a Koran. Still no conversations noted of Bush speaking with al-Maliki about why Christians are facing more persecution in Iraq now than when Saddam ran the place. Shoot a Christian, all is quite, but shoot a Koran/Quran/(whatever you want to call the book of lies) and it’s an international incident. (All aspiring US Presidential candidates should be asked how they would handle this if they became President and similar occurred on their watch.)
