Death Threat Issued To Operation Rescue In Wake Of Obama Victory Wichita, KS - Operation Rescue has received a death threat through its web site yesterday from a pro-abortion supporter emboldened by Sen. Barack Obama's victory. The threat has been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "Even before the last votes were counted, we received this threat. It is an indication that the abortion forces are feeling emboldened and are thinking that, under an Obama administration, they will be able to harm pro-lifers and get away with it," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "When people like this devalue the lives of the pre-born, it is only natural that they would devalue and even despise the lives of others as well." The threat indicated that any act of "anti-abortion terror" would be "ANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS, who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifers." [Emphasis theirs.] The threat was issued...

By Jean M. Heimann We’re in the process of counting down the hours for this upcoming election. Most of us have been praying and fasting for some time now. We have also been working hard to spread the truth about both Obama and McCain and their positions, particularly on pro-life issues. While Obama is an extremist in the area of pro-life, strongly opposing every human life issue, McCain is pro-life on all of the issues, but one. Biden is also 100% pro-death, while Sarah Palin is 100% pro-life. What can we do in these final days to promote pro-life candidates in the November 4 elections? 1. Continue to pray and fast until the elections are over. 2. Take the day off on Election Day. Volunteer to help in a campaign for pro-life campaign making last minute phone calls or driving others to the polling places. 3. Remind others to vote. 4. Spend as much time as you are able to in Eucharistic Adoration on Election Day, without neglecting the duties of your vocation. Prior to voting, go to Con...

Obama told Joe the Plumber he believes in spreading the wealth. Examining his record and policies shows he will redistribute taxpayers' hard-earned money to his abortion cronies. In an economy where money is getting scarce, businesses are closing, people are losing their jobs, and the stock market is tanking, Obama wants to raise taxes. Our government is in deficit, but Obama will continue the flow of MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars to his abortion cronies.

Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) opposition to an Illinois state law protecting infants born alive after abortion procedures is coming back to haunt him. Illinois Senate recordings of State Senator Obama's concerns with SB 1663 - An act concerning abortion In 1999 a gruesome discovery was made that an Illinois hospital was shelving babies to die in a soiled utility room who had survived their abortions. The Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act was introduced in 2001 to provide legal protection to all born babies, wanted or not, including the right to medical care. Then-state Senator Barack Obama voted against Born Alive 4 times in 3 years and was the sole senator to speak against it on the Senate floor in 2001 and 2002. In 2002, the Federal version of Born Alive passed unanimously in the US Senate and by overwhelming voice vote in the House. The pro-abortion group NARAL even went neutral on the bill. But In 2003, Barack Obama voted against the identical version of Born Alive ...

Here's an ad from a very courageous Bishop, his excellency, Rene Gracida. The text of the ad is as follows: This is Bishop Rene H. Gracida, reminding all Catholics that they must vote in this election with an informed conscience. A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-abortion candidate. ~ Via Gloria Romanorum , H/T Esther.

Kansas Senator Sam Brownback is heading the national Catholics for McCain committee. During a Catholic luncheon at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, Brownback urged Catholics to get out the vote for the McCain-Palin ticket. Go here to view the video. H/T: Jay Anderson

Many polls are talked about in this election but Who do our Soldiers and Military support, John McCain or Barack Obama? Military Times has now taken out the guess work and given us a more clear picture of who our military overwhelmingly support. Sarah Palin: John McCain's Secret Weapon What has Obama done for his country? Pass laws that kill it's citizens, raise taxes, make deals with large corporations, criminals, and terrorists that benefit his own selfish motives and ambitions, and support the culture of death. Who do you want for your Commander - in - Chief?

Infant-sacrifice was a significant part of the cult of Baal, a Phoenician or Canaanite god. Infant children were sacrificed to Baal in order to secure prosperity. Baal was the god of prosperity because he controlled the weather, which is crucial in any agricultural economy. The burnt bones of infants sacrificed to Baal were buried in urns under stone markers. Many thousands of these have been discovered in the ruins of ancient Carthage and its outlying towns. It is estimated that in ancient Carthage the ritual killing of infant children in sacrifice to Baal averaged about two and a half children per day. In the United States, the sanctioned killing of infants that are sacrificed in deference to the Mammon promise of economic prosperity — numbers over 4,000 per day. The nations that worshipped Baal -- no longer exist because of its selfishness and cruelty to its own children. The United States wants to vote for a man that promises them economic prosperity, despite the fact that this man...

Many people today are angry with the recent bailout that took place in out country (myself included) and some are pointing fingers of blame in the wrong direction. For a truthful and objective explanation, please see my post Barack Obama, ACORN, and The Economic Crisis . However, I am channeling that anger into prayer and action – to get the truth out to the American people – especially those who have been ill-informed or deceived by the mainstream media. What can we expect if angry voters vote for the wrong candidate – Barack Obama? an increase in abortions due to loss of protection for the unborn an increase in infanticide an increase in euthanasia loss of our second amendment rights an increase in taxes an increase in same sex marriages a loss of religious tolerance – more acts of hatred and persecution toward Christians and other faiths lack of tolerance and respect for traditional marriages (between one man and one woman) the take-over of our country by terrorists whom Obama has c...

Excellent video which tells the truth about Barack Obama:

Via WorldNet Daily : In a dramatic move, Republican Sen. John McCain announced he is suspending his presidential campaign to focus on addressing the Wall Street crisis and called on Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama to do the same. McCain also asked that the debate scheduled for Friday in Oxford, Miss., focused on foreign policy, considered his strong suit, be postponed. The Arizona senator said he believes the $700 billion bailout bill in Congress will not pass and urged Obama to join him in working out a new deal before Monday. McCain said lawmakers need to show the kind of patriotism displayed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and "temporarily set politics aside." "If we do not act, every corner of this country will be impacted," he said. "We cannot allow this to happen." The Obama campaign, according to Fox News, issued a statement suggesting it actually made the first move to set politics aside to address the country's financial woes. More to come....

From Jay Leno: The stock market was up 400 points today, or as the Democrats call it - terrible news. Barack Obama said again today that he wants to raise taxes on the rich - that's provided by November anyone is still rich. That seems to be the theme: In a speech today, Joe Biden said that paying higher taxes is patriotic. The Republican strategy on Joe Biden? Let him keep talking. The Democratic-controlled Congress said they are going to adjourn for the rest of the year. They said regarding the financial crisis, no one knows what to do. Well, that's a ringing endorsement to re-elect them - "You're on your own! We're leaving." From Craig Ferguson: The Dow's going bananas . . . it's going up one day, down the next - it's like Sarah Palin's hair. Tough blow for Barack Obama. Yesterday, a key Democratic fundraiser switched sides. She said Obama was too elitist. She is none other than Lady Lynn Forest de Rothschild. She's worth a gaz...

For the first time in recent memory, leaders of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops have invited the two presidential candidates to meet with them before the election. Neither Republican John McCain nor Democrat Barack Obama have replied to the invitations offered last month, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the conference. A spokeswoman for the McCain campaign said the senator wants to accept, but does not yet know if such a meeting will fit into his schedule. A spokesman for the Obama campaign could not be reached for comment. Five bishops who lead policy committees -- delving into matters including abortion, education, migration, international affairs and communications -- want to discuss the candidates' views on social issues, said Bishop William Murphy of the Rockville Centre diocese in New York state. He is chairman of the bishops' domestic policy committee. The meetings, if they occur, will be private and off the record, he said. "This isn't born ...

Thirty-five years after Roe v. Wade struck down the abortion law of all 50 states, the life issues remain the most sharply contested in American public life. They are also signature issues of Catholic concern, not for any “sectarian” reason but because the life issues engage first principles of justice, principles that form the moral foundations of the free and virtuous society. That has been the case for decades. But things are different this year, in two respects. First, the biotech revolution is gaining momentum. Human-animal hybrids created for research purposes are now legal in Britain; “savior-siblings” artificially created to provide spare parts for a sick brother or sister are openly discussed throughout Europe; the pressure to provide public funding for such practices in the U.S. will inevitably intensify. Then there is what some consider the overriding strategic consideration in this election cycle: the real possibility that the next presidential term could produce a Supreme ...

I found this video over at Esther's and couldn't help but post it here. It's just too good to pass up! The Diddy Retort Does he need his own talk show or what? Oprah could use some competition!

"I predict that the outcome of the presidential election will depend not on the economy, not on the Iraq war, not on the price of gasoline or the issue of national health insurance, but on the issue of the right to abortion." ~ Ed Koch, Former mayor of New York City
