Obama’s Former Faith Adviser: ‘I, Frankly, Am Glad American Civil Religion is Dying’

Shaun Casey, the religious affairs adviser to presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008, said at a discussion on Tuesday about  “God and Politics” that the demise of religious society in the United States is a good thing.

“I, frankly, am glad American civil religion is dying,” said Casey, who is an associate professor of Christian Ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.

Obama Redoubles Efforts to Force Liberalism on Religious Congregations

Less than a week after the Supreme Court said - in a 9-0 ruling - that government can't tell religious organizations who they must hire and fire, the Obama administration has retaliated with a mandate that religious organizations violate their conscience on matters of sex and reproduction, in order to serve the Holy Writ of the Left: Roe v. Wade.

Pelosi hints, then denies she has Gingrich secrets

Does House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi know some dark secrets about GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich?

Gingrich said Wednesday that the House Democratic leader should come out with it or shut up.

OBAMA HAS HEATED ARGUMENT WITH AZ GOV

President Obama arrived in Phoenix at 3:15 pm local time, finding the chilly weather of Iowa giving way to sunny skies and temperatures in the high 60s.

He stepped off Air Force One at 3:28 pm and was greeted by Gov. Jan Brewer. She handed him a handwritten letter in an envelope and they spoke intensely for a few minutes. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.

MR OBAMA PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE TO CHARITY!

I think that I will explode if I hear this fair share mantra from the Obama campaign all the way to November.

It is like a gong to me because he and his fellow progressives are lacking Charity.

You don't have to look to far to realize that the Democrats who want to secularize America are the least charitable in giving of their fortune each year.

The further they get away from God the more narcissistic and greedy they get.

They want to take what you have earned out of your pocket and let the State distribute it.

Take a look at this: WHO'S GREEDY? Obama Gave 1% to Charity, Romney Gave 15%
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.

One year Biden gave only $369… $369.00. Just Three hundred sixty nine dollars. A fraction of one percent.
 

In 1997, Vice President, Al Gore and Tipper gave $353!!!

No wonder these guys are pushing socialism down our throats.

This is why they see the need to redistribute your wealth to the State because know the poor surely can't count on progressives to help.

This country is the most benevolent nation on the planet. The America people are the first to respond to natural disasters and man caused disasters.

These people in this administration are purpose driven to secularize and dismantle all things that are the foundation of this great nation … Christianity!

Mr Obama if you will give your fair share to charity the State won't need to do that.

Let Americans be moved  in love to help their neighbor … Nobody does it better!
 

Warren Buffett's Secretary Likely Makes Between $200,000 And $500,000/Year

Gingrich Threatens to Skip Debates if Audiences Can’t Participate

Newt Gingrich insists his fans will not be silenced.

Mr. Gingrich, a former House speaker, on Tuesday morning threatened not participate in any future debates with audiences that have been instructed to be silent. That was the case on Monday, when Brian Williams of NBC News asked the audience of about 500 people who assembled for a debate in Tampa to hold their applause until the commercial breaks.

Palin to Christie: Don’t get your panties in a wad over Gingrich’s victory in South Carolina

Obligatory, for many reasons. One: Our resident Palin fans will relish every second. Two: It makes for a sweet undercard to tonight’s main event. Three: It’s part of a longstanding low-grade feud between Christie and Palin that began when he tweaked her on Jimmy Fallon’s show and has continued in fits and starts ever since. If it’s ever going to go from simmering to a full boil, this ought to do it. Four: Palin hitting Christie for playing into the media’s hands perfectly captures the Gingrich/Romney dynamic right now. Despite his own diversions from conservative orthodoxy over the years, Newt has become the de facto “true conservative” in the race partly because he’s running against the Ultimate RINO and partly because he’s good at flaming the bete noires of the base — the media, the GOP establishment, etc. To some extent he’s following the Palin playbook while Romney, as a supposedly electable centrist blue-state governor, is trying to follow Christie’s path to success. Gingrich isn’t as charismatic a populist as Palin, though, and Romney isn’t remotely as charismatic an establishmentarian as Christie. In a way, they’re running a watered-down version of what would have been a much more entertaining (and even nastier) race.

Gen. David Petraeus: ‘The troops can’t quit’

 “It’s ‘open the envelope time,’ ” Gen. David Petraeus told his security team as his SUV approached the White House on June 21, 2011, for his final meeting with President Obama on the drawdown of forces from Afghanistan. Petraeus had returned to Washington from his command in Kabul for consultations with Obama on the drawdown, and for a Senate committee hearing on his nomination to become the next director of the CIA. On the way from the Pentagon, retired Army general Jack Keane, a mentor and former vice chief of staff of the Army, e-mailed Petraeus with rumors of what he was hearing: The White House was going to recommend 10,000 troops depart by the end of 2011, with the remaining 23,000 surge forces out by the summer of 2012, a far more drastic timetable for withdrawal than Petraeus had recommended.

Obama Defends Roe v. Wade As Way for ‘Our Daughters’ to Have Same Chance As Sons to ‘Fulfill Their Dreams’

Newt Gingrich Tells David Gregory 'Nobody in the Elite Media Wants to Cover' Obama's Alinsky Roots

Newt Beats CNN: WashPost Lines Up Journalists to Slam John King's Opening Gotcha Question

It's not often that Newt Gingrich looks like a winner in The Washington Post. But on Saturday, Post media reporter Paul Farhi lined up a set of liberal media veterans and journalism professors to attack CNN reporter John King for walking into a Gingrich buzzsaw by opening the debate with his second wife's "open marriage" assertion at Thursday night's CNN debate.

“Gingrich was clearly waiting for the question, clearly was prepared to pounce,” said W. Joseph Campbell, a communications professor and media historian at American University. “King seemed taken off guard. He looked a little sickened. And he did himself no favors by lamely pointing out that it wasn’t CNN but another network that dug out the Gingrich-infidelity story. That allowed Gingrich to pounce again.”

A New Definition of Autism Could Exclude Many Now Diagnosed, Expert Says

When an expert on autism argued that a new definition of the disorder being prepared by the American Psychiatric Association could restrict the number of patients currently diagnosed as autistic, he set off a firestorm of criticism and debate.

Earlier Thursday, at a medical conference in Iceland, Fred Volkmar, a renowned autism expert and the director of the Yale Child Study Center, had presented a few glimpses of his newest piece of research. Not yet published, his study purports to show that a new set of diagnostic criteria for autism, currently being developed by an expert panel appointed by the American Psychiatric Association, could result in a highly restrictive definition of the disorder, excluding a major portion of those who are currently considered autistic.

The Mormon PC Mentality and Evangelicals

By Tony DiGirolamo

Well, as long as Gov. Mitt Romney hesitates to release his taxes the speculation grows.

I think this has a lot to do with the Mormon church and also how many millions above the tithe will be revealed and also the ties to business.

But hey, It's all speculation and worse as the mind conjures up bigger than life scenarios. The big secret is that there are many evangelicals that are not going to vote for a Mormon. That being said, the Democrats know this and that's why the want him to be the nominee.

Gingrich Slams CNN's King: 'I Am Appalled That You Would Begin a Presidential Debate With a Topic Like That'
