Right Wing Leftovers

  • Did you know there is a sports complex in one of Israel’s biggest settlements in the West Bank named for John Hagee?
  • For some reason, Richard Viguerie seems to think that the Justice Department’s prosecution of the Ted Stevens case under the Bush administration is evidence of a “alliance between leftwing Democratic politicians and corrupt bureaucrats and special interests.”
  • Alan Keyes will reportedly be speaking at Washington, DC’s “Tea Party” rally next week … and Fox News has been aggressively promoting them.
  • Phyllis Schlafly declares that her gay son is fully supportive of her right-wing agenda and likewise opposes gay marriage.
  • Because WorldNetDaily apparently doesn’t have enough nutcases writing columns for them, they’ve decided to bring Michael Savage on board as well.
  • Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association in Michigan, was greeted by hundreds of protesters when he arrived to speak at Central Michigan University last night.
  • More than 250,000 people have reportedly signed a petition sponsored by the Cardinal Newman Society calling on Notre Dame to withdraw its invitation to President Obama to speak at the May 17 commencement.
  • The Vatican has reportedly rejected at least three of President Obama’s candidates to serve as U.S. ambassador because they support abortion.
  • Finally,  Franklin Graham is beginning to sound more and more like Pat Robertson:
  • America was once a nation that honored and trusted God, albeit imperfectly. Many of today’s prestigious institutions of higher learning were founded by Christians, and precepts from Scripture were foundational for instruction. Presidents and national leaders embraced Christianity’s influence on civil matters, and God’s moral laws were encoded into our judicial system.

    That godly heritage has been abandoned and rejected, and I believe we are paying the price today. Greed isn’t good. The lack of personal integrity has massive consequences. We’ve built a culture of our own making that is on the verge of destruction.

    This is a time of testing for our country. Will we acknowledge our sin and turn back to God? Will we call on God for help in our hour of distress, or will we continue to further distance ourselves from His aid?

    God always leaves room for repentance. He is patient and long-suffering. But there comes a time when He finally allows us to reap what we’ve sown. That will be a bitter harvest, one that I pray we will not experience.
