Instead of repeating and validating liberal talking points, (“The judge struck down the constitutional amendment.”…“The judge nixed the constitutional amendment.”…“The judge overturned the constitutional amendment.”…“Send $$$ to help us fight this outrageous ruling in court”…) our Christian and conservative pro-family, legal and religious leaders should in a unified voice instead make the following points:
Point#1: The past 3-decade strategy of electing more Republicans to appoint more “pro-life” and “pro-family” judges has been a total unmitigated failure.
• 60 % of federal judiciary (who gave us Roe, Lawrence, Goodridge) are GOP appointees including homosexual liberal activist San Francisco Judge Vaughn Walker who recently issued the totally unconstitutional and absurd opinion that limiting marriage to one man and one woman to be “unconstitutional” who was a Regan and Bush appointee.
• Not 1 single solitary U.S. Supreme Court Justice (including “conservative” and “pro-life” “strict constructionists” Alito, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy) has ever written or stated that babies in the womb are human persons who possess an inalienable right to life under the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Not one! We don’t need “1 more judge to overturn Roe.” We need 5 more!
The vast majority of GOP appointed judges are secular humanistic legal positivists who believe that the law is what the judges say it is.
Point #2: Judges can’t “strike down” or “overturn” any law, statute or constitutional amendment. The judiciary may opine on individual cases before them but their rulings are merely binding (if in accordance with the plain language of the Constitution) on the parties involved in the lawsuit. But a judge’s opinion can’t, in any way, change, alter or overturn any individual law, statute or constitutional amendment. Judges possess “neither the power of the sword nor the purse.” (Federalist 78) All legislative powers belong to the sovereign people of California. The only way that a constitutional amendment may be changed is by the people or via their elected representatives. Prop 8 is the Supreme Law of the Land and cannot be “overturned” by judicial fiat.
Point #3: Judge Walker’s unconstitutional opinion that homosexuals possess a constitutional right to marry is totally absurd and anti-Constitutional. And Judge Walker should be impeached immediately for violating his oath to uphold and defend the constitution.
Point #4: It doesn’t matter how the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules in this case since Walker’s opinion is null and void since it is so obviously anti-Constitutional.
Point #5: If Governor Schwarzenegger (again) illegally authorizes changes to and issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples without a legally binding, accompanying, enabling statute, he should be impeached for violating his oath to uphold and defend the constitution by enforcing a judge’s unconstitutional court opinion as if it were actual law.
Point #6: Homosexual “marriage” can never be “legal” (even if passed by the voters or legislators) since any law contrary to God’s Natural Law is no law at all. (To quote Dr. Martin Luther King). We as Christians will never acknowledge the “legality” of homosexual “marriage” (or killing innocent children in the womb for that matter) regardless if a majority of voters or some black robed judge says it’s ok.
Point #7: Governors Romney, Schwarzenegger, and Culver all violated their sworn oaths by unilaterally, illegally and unconstitutionally authorizing alterations to and issuance of marriage licenses to homosexual couples (falsely claiming “the judges made them do it” and should all be removed from office (w/ exception of Romney who is already out of office but who many believe can still be charged with perjury) and the marriage licenses declared null and void in each of those states (Mass, CA and Iowa).
Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men!” Acts 5:29
Post script: I originally neglected to make clear that not all conservative and Christian groups are guilty of perpetuating the toxic liberal lie that judges possess the authority to amend, alter and change laws and constitutions and the losing strategy of blindly electing more Republicans under the false hope that they will nomiate the “right” judges etc…There is at least one principled conservative organization who is the rare exception to the rule…America’s Independent Party. My sincere apologies for painting with too broad a brush.
Yesterday I posted a blog entitled, “Fake Celebrity ‘Christian’ and ‘Conservative’ pro-life and pro-family leaders have only themselves to blame for Obama’s tax subsidized abortions!”
One of the counterfeit “pro-family” “Christian” groups I cited was Jay Sekulow’s American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ.)
Minutes after I sent out the post to over 500 consevative and Christian pro-family and pro-life lawyers, leaders and pundits, I received an indignant request from Jay’s son, Jordan Sekulow to be “removed from the list.”
I don’t believe that I have to add to our subsequent exchange below.
I believe it is pretty self-explanatory…
As you read our exchange, ask yourself if you consider yourself to be a pro-life, pro-family constitutional Christian conservative if the Sekulow’s represent your core values and beliefs…
Jordan Sekulow
Remove me from the list Gregg
And by the way, we were against the Stupak compromise deal - very clearly, do some research Gregg - I know you have the time on your hands…
Me: No, Jordan.
You were copied for a reason. You are not on a “list.” And I won’t stop cc’ing you when I feel it is appropriate irregardless of your indignant and petulant requests.
I know this post I wrote must hit close to home since you worked for the man who unilaterally, illegally and unconstitutionally implemented sodomy-based “marriage” and signed into law $50 abortions (2 years AFTER his “pro-life conversion.”) Mitt Romney. His entire fully documented far left wing record is documented here. http://greggjackson.com/blog/?p=471 Anything not accurate in it, Jordan? How could you and your dad continue to support this man who signed the death warrants of thousands of babies in Massachusetts at $50 dollars each and claim to be a “pro-family Christian” as you and your dad claim?
And what reason do you have to be critical of ObamaCare’s subsidization of abortion given the fact that you are a proud supporter of the man who ushered in tax subsidized elective surgical abortions into law in his quasi-socialist healthcare plan, Mitt Romney?
P.S. As to your little snide comment about my having so much “time on my hands”: I actually don’t as I am keeping myself quite busy, you’ll be pleased to know, writing my next book on the counterfeit conservative and Christian movement in America and you and your father will have your own chapter dedicated to you so all grassroots Christians and conservatives can learn the truth about how you have lied and deceived millions (like when you both portrayed Mitt Romney as a pro-life, pro-family conservative for example) while you simultaneously enriched yourselves buying fancy homes and flying around the world on private jets, etc…So, between that and running my own business (not leaching off my father like some people) and raising a family, I am keeping pretty busy but appreciate your concern, Jordan. We can’t all be as fortunate as you, Jordan. After all, not everybody has a rich daddy like you do who can buy his son air time that he can use to rip off retired women on Social Security every day as you and your father do.
Jordan Sekulow: Remove from list or we’ll do our job. I’ve had enough of this, asked to be removed from this spam many times.
Anyone on this list 1) had a team in Pakistan defending christians against the death penalty 2) had bombs go off at rallies in Kenya because you’re fighting for the life of the unborn? 3) anyone ever been outside the US and seen the battles we’re facing against the pro-abortion establishment and radical islam?
Until you have, don’t criticize those who risk their lives on the front lines for these issues.
Remove me from the list or I take other steps.
Night all.
Me: You’ll “do your job” Jordan?
Yeah, I wish you would Jordan.
Really, I do.
I really wish you would stop lying and deceiving millions of Christians and conservatives by claiming to be “pro-family” “Christians” while portraying the Founding Father of sodomy-based “marriage” and the 50 dollar Romneybort as an authentic pro-family conservative. Will you start doing your job instead of compromising Biblical Truth and lying to millions of Christians?
You still have not answered my questions:
Why did you claim that you never supported the Stupak Amendment when a simple Google Search demonstrates that you and your dad did?
Your dad, Jay Sekulow said of the Stupak Amendment:
“The American Center for Law and Justice, a pro-life legal group, also applauded the vote.
“The passage of this pro-life amendment represents the only bright spot in an otherwise troubling government-run health care package put forth by House Speaker Pelosi,” ACLJ chief counsel Jay Sekulow told LifeNews.com.
“Sekulow gave kudos to Bart Stupak and Joseph Pitts “for their unrelenting efforts in protecting the unborn” but said, “Unfortunately, the leadership in the House has produced a disturbing and flawed health care package that not only fails to meet the needs of most Americans, but interjects an unprecedented level of government intrusion and bureaucracy into health care.”
You and your dad “opposed the Stupak Amendment, Jordan?” Seriously? That’s an outright lie. Do you have any clue what you are talking about?
And how can you criticize ObamaCare’s tax funded abortions when you still support the man who signed 50 dollar elective surgical abortions into law (Mitt Romney)?
Come on Jordan. Have the guts to debate and defend your position instead of threatening to sue or whatever it is you claim “you’ll do” when confronted with uncomfortable truths that reveal your duplicity and hypocrisy.
And by the way, anti-spam laws don’t apply to personal e-mails where you are cc’d. A simple google search would reveal that too.
Be a man and answer the questions asked honestly. Would think a public figure like yourself would not have a problem with that. Or will you only debate when you can control the mic?
Jordan Sekulow: Amendment. Yes. Compromise. No.
Political reality boys and girls - the pro-aborts outnumbered us and we wanted to do what we could to save some unborn lives. We have to work in the real world - you spend your time writing emails to people. Spend some time in the West Bank, Zimbabwe, Kenya (Christians being bombed at EACLJ rallies), and Pakistan
After that, you can comment.
Me: So you admit you knew that Mitt Romney signed $50 dollar abortions into law (2 years after his fake “pro-life conversion) when you went to work for him on his presidential campaign and endorse him for president? You mean it was your understanding Romney wasn’t a “pro-abort?”
And how would have supporting the man whose socialist healthcare plan that served as the model for ObamaCare (Mitt Romney) which subsidized elective surgical abortions on demand, “saved some lives, Jordan?”
Not really getting your warped rationale for working for and supporting the Founding Father of sodomy-based “marriage” and the $50 tax-payer funded abortion, for president of the United States, Mitt Romney…
And again, why did you lie when you said that neither you nor your father supported Stupak when you actually did?
Jordan Sekulow: We’ve been getting death threats, nails in our tires, war declared on us since I was a kid. Live in the trenches for a while boys - then comment
Me: Does “living in the trenches” include lying for pro-abort, pro-homosexual politicians like Romney? and does it include living in 3 mansions and flying around in your dad’s private jet? Sounds tough Jordan.
Jordan Sekulow: That jet has been on aclj tv shows since I was a little kid - never been hidden…As for Romney, Gregg it’s 2010 right? Move on to the next battle - don’t get stuck in the past my friend.
Me: No, Jordan. Romney is the leading GOP candidate in many polls and you and your father played a prominent role in elevating and validating his status. So, his candidacy and your support is still very germane.
So how can you reconcile your criticism of Obamacare’s funding for abortion when you supported the man who signed 50 dollar abortions into law, Mitt Romney?
And why did you falsely claim you and your dad never supported Stupak which would have funded abortions when a simple google search proves otherwise?
Jordan Sekulow: Remove me from the list Gregg. I don’t care about your debate between your friends. Remove me from the list - you spam, you know, remove me. It’s such a joke emailing any “sekulow” email you can to try and reach one of us.
Remove me from the list. I expect a reply by am tomorrow.
Me: Jordan, once again: you are not on any “list.”
I intentionally cc’d you since I cited your father on my recent blog post to provide you with an opportunity to respond.
I can understand why you have no further desire to communicate since you were unable to answer some very direct and I believe fair questions regarding your working and ongoing support for Mitt Romney (and hypocritical criticism of ObamaCare’s abortion subsidies) as well as your false statement made tonight that you (and your father) never supported Stupak when the record clearly reveals you did.
I guess your refusal to candidly discuss these issues is all anybody on this thread needs to know about your character and integrity…
If I have said anything untrue, please bring it to my attention and I will gladly correct the record…
Jordan Sekulow: I don’t want another email from you Gregg - you aren’t worth the time to debate with. If I receive another, I’ll move to other options.
Me: If I continue to press you about why you worked for and still support the Founding Father of sodomy “marriage” and the 50 dollar tax-payer funded abortion, Mitt Romney, for President of the United States, you will “move to other options” Jordan?
Give me a break…Grow up…
How about just answering the question as to why you and your dad (Jay Sekulow) still support the man (Mitt Romney) who…
• Illegally & unconstitutionally instituted sodomy “marriage.”
• Signed $50 tax-subsidized abortions into law (2 years AFTER his fake “pro-life conversion.”)
• Boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten.
• Opposes a ban on homosexual scoutmasters.
• Promised the homosexual Republican “Log Cabin Republicans” he wouldn’t oppose “gay marriage” in return for their endorsement.
• Instituted a quasi-socialist healthcare plan endorsed by Hillary Clinton, Teddy Kennedy and Planned Parenthood that destroyed the Massachusetts’ economy.
• Increased taxes and fees by close to a billion dollars which destroyed the Massachusetts’ economy and opposed the Bush Tax Cuts.
• Voted # 8 RINO by Human Events.
• Passed over Republican lawyers for three quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he faced and nominated 2 open homosexuals.
• Criticized Joint Chief’s of Staff, Peter Pace for saying that homosexual acts were “immoral.”
• Supports passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act which would force churches and other religious organizations to hire homosexuals and transvestites or face criminal fines and prosecution.
And if you can’t answer this simple question, perhaps your dad can. Surely he is never at a loss for words and can defend his continued support for Romney and past support for legislation (Stupak) that would have subsidized the deaths of 1000s of babies in the womb with tax-payer dollars…
Jordan Sekulow: You’re not uncovering anything - the support was public and in mainstream media. Gov Romney would and still could make a great candidate (My emphasis)
Remove me from the list - final email
Me: So Jordan you think that the man who compiled the radical far left wing record Romney did (below) would still make a “great candidate” in the future?
My bad, guy.
I thought you, your dad and ACLJ was actually pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-limited government.
My bad…
I am sure that millions of Christians will want to know this in a national press release. Thanks for the quote…Now we know where you and your dad stand.
Thanks Jordan…Appreciate your candor…
Jordan Sekulow: You use that line, - my quote - please
Don’t forget, we’ve recently spent time with Governor Palin and other leaders of the grassroots conservative movement
Off of the list by am - this is SPAM
Me: Ok, thanks Jordan.
I will quote you in a national press release as saying that in spite of the fact that Romney illegally instituted sodomy-based “marriage” unilaterally, unconstitutionally and illegally and signed $50 dollar elective surgical abortions on demand into law (2 years AFTER his supposed “pro-life conversion”), (which you have not even attempted to dispute) that you and ACLJ still think that Romney “would and still could make a great candidate.” I am sure that millions of Christians will want to know where you stand. Once again, thanks for your candor.
By the way, here are the SPAM laws and you will see that they don’t apply to our e-mail conversation we are having. So you can save your impotent threats…My lawyer friend shared this with me a few months back when another conterfeit conservative public figure like yourself threatened to sue me for e-mailing him about something he had said on the air…
As it turns out, Jordan, accusing somebody of doing something illegal to a number of 3rd parties without any true basis, as you have done, is libel.
Spam is a legal term with a legal meaning. Anti-Spam Laws concern “commercial messages,” “advertisement or solicitation,” etc. Anti-Spam Laws are to prevent Internet marketing - not freedom of speech.
Truth-telling is still permitted in America … at least for the short-term. Your toothless threat to tattletale is silly. It was probably too much of an inconvenience for you, but a 3-second Internet search on Anti-Spam Laws (see below) makes it clear that I am doing nothing “illegal.”
Unlike what I have written, however, falsely accusing someone of doing something illegal to a number of 3rd parties without any true basis, as you have done Jordan, is libel.
Is your only response to the substantive issues I have raised simply to whine about receiving “spam” e-mails?
Don Hank: Gregg,
If what you say is true, then the whole Sekulow empire is based on a hoax and these people are taking people’s money based on a fraud. I wonder if that is legal? Particularly now that we all are witnesses to the fact that Jordan KNOWS the facts about the Stupak legislation and about Mitt Romney. He certainly can’t say “oh, gosh, Judge, I had no idea I was using false information to make my father’s organization look like it was pro-life. I actually thought Mitt was a real pro-lifer.”
At any rate, it would be good to have a brief article on this, with links etc. However, I know your book will give the details.
This is despicable.
Don
Don Hank: Jordan,
If I recall correctly, I gave money to your rich father believing he was a good man who was sincerely supporting a pro-life platform, among other things. His support for Romney makes me really angry, and also ashamed of myself for being so naïve.
When you say “move on to the next battle,” it seems like you want all of us whom you have conned over the years to forgive and forget.
I can forgive, but if I forget, then I am being irresponsible, because I have a duty to warn others about this scam.
As for the money you took, you really owe a lot of people and should pay it back.

This is a must see video for anybody who considers themselves to be “pro-life” but who supports abortion regulations and other exceptions such as the current Stupak and Nelson Amendments.
The abortion compromisers/regulators such as National Right to Life, Priests for Life, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Family Research Council, American Center for Law and Justice and “pro-life” “conservative” pundits (Hannity, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Beck, Levin, Coulter, Hewitt, Bennett, Medved, Prager etc…) all support a flawed strategy of regulating abortion by suporting laws which end with “and then you can kill the baby” in spite of the FACT that God’s Enduring Law “Do Not Murder” contains no such “exceptions.”
There is only one way to end the silent genocide in our nation (3,000 plus babies a day murdered in the United States of America or 1.5 million plus babies murdered annually…50,000,000 over the past 25 years!):
Those who claim to be “pro-life” must never compromise by supporting any exceptions or abortions regulations or support any political candidates who do.
Compromise is a loser strategy because it is contrary to God’s unambiguous law, “Do Not Murder.”
And any law that is contrary to God’s law is no law at all.
“Child killing regulations just prune the abortion week and strengthens its root.” Jason Troyer of Colorado Right to Life
I admit that when I heard the news about your serial adultery a few weeks ago, I was completely surprised and saddened. I had always admired your phenomenal golf skills but also your deep affection for your parents, (especially your relationship with your “Pop”), and what appeared to be an authentic love for your wife and children.
The prevailing sentiment seems to be that you need to take time off and work on your marriage (or what ever remains of it). You have said in a statement that you will be taking an indefinite hiatus from golf to “focus (your) attention on being a better husband, father, and person.”
Admirable.
But as David and I can testify to, you will be wasting your time if you think you can, by your own power, salvage your marriage and your career.
As politically incorrect as this may be for us to say, we wish to share with you what the vast majority of your high-priced P.R. consultants and lawyers most likely never will. They will be telling that you can remake yourself and restore your marriage. One columnist even suggested you read John Eldredge’s “Wild at Heart.” May we suggest a different book?
This book will help you realize that there is nothing you can do to heal your wounds and the wounds you have inflicted, by your own power or strength to liberate yourself from what appears to be a severe compulsive sexual and drug addiction.
No doubt you feel deeply ashamed and humiliated. Your whole world has come crashing down around you. And it probably feels as though this nightmare will never end for you. There is a good reason for that feeling; shame brings a sense of hopelessness that man cannot overcome on his own.
However we are privileged to tell you that there is some really good news you may have never heard before. That good news is in the book we are recommending to you.
As dark and hopeless as things may appear, the Bible teaches that God is in the forgiveness and saving business. It’s His specialty.
You see, 2009 years ago, God’s son Jesus Christ (the promised Jewish Messiah), came to earth to live among man and to willingly die on a cross to pay the price for all of mankind’s’ sins (past, present and future) so that we could have a direct relationship with the living God and eternal life with Him.
Tiger, you have already acknowledged that you have sinned.
The Bible says that sin separates us from God but that by putting our faith and trust in Jesus and accepting His free gift of salvation we can instantly have new and eternal life, by allowing Jesus to take up residence in our hearts. The Bible promises that “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
You can have a fresh new start Tiger—a “mulligan” if you will—by merely acknowledging to God that you are a sinner and that your sin separates you from God and that you understand that God’s son Jesus Christ died willingly to pay the price for all of your sins and that by believing in Jesus and accepting Him into your heart that you can immediately be washed clean from all of your sins and live with Him forever in paradise.
Tiger, as much as we hope and pray you are convicted to invite Jesus into your heart and allow Him to put the pieces of your life back together (as He has done in ours), we understand that you may be somewhat apprehensive about giving up control of your life and taking that “leap of faith.”
If you are, our advice is to ask God in silent prayer to reveal Himself to you.
If you have an open heart and genuinely desire to know the truth, we have no doubt that God will reveal Himself to you in an unmistakable way so that you would know the truth and that the truth would set you free. He did that very thing to both of us.
Tiger, if you have a Bible please go find it right now and read John’s Gospel. If you don’t have one, get one. It is the single-most important thing you will ever do.
God is in the saving and reviving business, Tiger.
He’s seen cases like yours before.
And He’s fully equipped to deal with your situation.
As bleak as things appear, Tiger, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
God loves you Tiger. He’s crazy about you. He has given you an incredible talent and created you for His pleasure.
You have only done what many of us may have done in your position given the incredible temptations you face on a daily basis.
You are only human.
But God has provided a way out.
Because He loves you Tiger, He came in human flesh and died for you.
For all your sins…past, present and future.
Invite Him in your heart, Tiger, and receive the new and everlasting life only He can provide.
That is the best Christmas gift anybody could ever receive.
Receive it and experience true healing, forgiveness and the abundant life that only He can provide.
Prayerfully in Jesus’ name,

Gregg Jackson (www.greggjackson.com) is the nationally best selling author of “Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies” and former talk radio show host in Boston and Los Angeles.
David Jeffers is the author of “Understanding Evangelicals: A Guide to Jesusland” and the proprietor of Salt and Light Blog (www.saltandlightblog.com).
Former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, has conducted 100s of TV and radio interview over the last month following the launch of her new book “Going Rogue.” Yet, I am not aware that any self-styled conservatives in the media have asked Palin any of the following questions:
1. Governor Palin, you claim to be “pro-life” and personally oppose abortion at any stage of development including babies conceived as the result of rape or incest. Yet, you have also said that you believe that states should decide this issue (the “pro-choice-for-states position”). But since babies in the womb possess an inalienable (i.e. God given) Constitutional right to life, what is your rationale for stating that individual states possess the right to violate a baby’s inalienable right to life as guaranteed in our Founding National Charter and part of the Organic Law of the United States of America, The Declaration, and the Supreme Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution?
2. Since you have stated that you believe that babies in their mother’s wombs possess an inalienable right to life, why as governor of Alaska did you not enforce this inalienable right by issuing an executive order to close down all abortion clinics in your state? If you were ever to become president, would you enforce the inalienable right to life by issuing an executive order to close down all abortion “clinics” in the nation and prosecute anybody performing an abortion?
3. Governor Palin, you said of former pro-abortion Planned Parenthood board member, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Morgan Christen, “I have every confidence that Judge Christen has the experience, intellect, wisdom and character to be an outstanding Supreme Court justice.” Why, as somebody who claims to be a pro-life, constitutionalist, would you have appointed somebody to the bench who doesn’t believe that babies in the womb possess an inalienable right to life? And can somebody who believes it’s ok to kill babies possess the “intellect, wisdom and character to be an outstanding Supreme Court justice?” As a Christian who believes that God’s law (thou shalt not murder) supersedes man’s law, and that any law that is in violation of God’s law is no law at all (to quote Dr. Martin Luther King), why didn’t you reject Christen and instead nominate a judge who believes that babies possess an inalienable right to life?
4. Governor Palin, you vetoed legislation that would have banned certain government benefits for same-sex couples in Alaska claiming that your attorney general advised you that signing the bill would be “unconstitutional.” (based on a toothless and anti-constitutional 2005 court opinion). Since you are opposed to same-sex “marriage” and “civil-unions” and understand that a court opinion is not law, why did you veto a bill that many constitutional experts claimed was totally constitutional?
5. Governor Palin, you have stated that you opposed the Bush-Kennedy-McCain amnesty bill that was before congress and that you oppose amnesty in general for the 12-20 million illegal aliens in this country. Yet, when asked by a Spanish reporter on October 22, 2008, “to clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?” you responded: “I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.”
I’m confused. Should illegals who violate our federal immigration laws as their first official act in our country be deported or be given a “path to citizenship?”
6. Governor Palin, you claimed the other day on Rusty Humphrie’s radio show, when asked if you would make the Obama birth certificate issue an issue if you ran for president, “I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers.”
Why wouldn’t you “bother to make it an issue?” As a former governor and candidate for vice-president of the United States, don’t you have a sworn obligation to demand that the current occupant of the White House release his authenticated long form birth-certificate (showing what Hawaiian hospital he was born in, the doctor who delivered him, and the time he was born that he has spent over a million dollars in legal fees suppressing) to prove that he has fulfilled the Constitutional requirement that the president of the United States be a natural born citizen? Why have you never once asked Obama to publicly release his birth certificate that millions of Americans have for over a year demanded to see?
7. If Mitt Romney or some other social liberal RINO wins the GOP nomination, would you support him as you did when you agreed to be on the same ticket with McCain? And is it ever ok to support candidates, regardless of political affiliation, who support some level of abortion rights or special rights for homosexuals including civil unions, domestic partnership benefits, or even full fledge marriage?
8. What would you say, Governor Palin, to the person who believes you are a hypocrite for talking about family values when you have spent close to two years of time away from you family including your special needs new-born baby, working as governor of Alaska, running for vice-president and now with your nation-wide book tour?
9. Do you believe that in the first-of-the-nation caucus state, Iowa, if the conservative Republican Bob Vander Plaats is elected governor that he should stop the issuance of illegally altered and issued marriage licenses to homosexual couples as he has promised to do? And since marriage licenses continue to be issued illegally in Massachusetts to same-sex couples thanks to Mitt Romney who unilaterally, illegally and unconstitutionally instituted same-sex “marriage,” as president, would you issue an executive order stopping their illegal issuance, since as chief law enforcement officer, you would possess the authority and have the obligation to ensure that each state’s laws are in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and that each state have a republican form of government?
10. Why should people believe that you are a fiscal conservative, given the fact that you supported the 800 billion “bail-out” that was supported by Bush, McCain and Obama?
Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to about 500 conservative and pro-family Christian leaders (some of whom signed the “Manhattan Declaration” which was co-ordinated by GOP operative and Mitt Romney shill Mark DeMoss) you can read here
No response yet from any of these counterfeit Christian conservatives…
Mark Demoss, Tony Perkins, Jim Dobson:
In the “Manhattan Declaration” http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2009/11/manhattan-declaration58-a-call-of-christian-conscience you were involved in or signed you state that Christians should never compromise on life and marriage.
How do you reconcile this position with the fact that all of you gentlemen supported (and continue to support) or endorsed the man, Mitt Romney, for President, who illegally instituted sodomy-based “marriage,” boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten, and signed into law 50 dollar co-pay elective surgical abortions as a “healthcare benefit” as part of his socialist healthcare plan?
Mark, you endorsed Romney calling him “the most qualified person to run fro president in (your) life-time” in spite of the FACT you knew Romney illegally installed sodomy “marriage” and signed 50 dollar abortions into law as governor.
Tony, you have invited Romney to be a featured speaker at your FRC “Values Voter’s Summit” 4 years running and recently called him a “long-time friend to the pro-family movement” in spite of the fact that you have been made thoroughly aware on numerous occasions of Romney’s far left wing, anti-life and anti-family record.
Jim, you said Romney was a man “pro-family voters could support” in spite of the fact that you too knew about Romney’s unilateral, unconstitutional and illegal imposition of sodomy “marriage” and his 50 bucks-a-pop elective surgical abortions.
39Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41But give what is inside the dish [j] to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.
42″Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.
43″Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
44″Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it.”
And here was my response to an e-mailer who was in support of the Declaration:
Where were all these “Christian leaders” when Romney was illegally installing sodomy “marriage” and siging in $50 abortions into law in Massachussetts (3 years AFTER his supposed “pro-life conversion?”
Or when Romney boosted funding for homosexual “education” and adoption?
Where were they when Schwarzenegger illegally installed sodomy “marriage” here in California?
Or when Governor Culver did the exact same thing in Iowa?
Where were they when Terry Shiavo was starved to death (enabled by the Bush brothers) in Florida?
Where were these “Christian leaders” when Judge Moore was kicked off the court for posting the 10 Commandments?
Where were they when Professor Herb Titus was fired at Regent Law School?
Where were they when Dr. Keyes and other courageous pro-life leaders were hand-cuffed and thrown in jail at Notre Dame? Funny, I don’t remember seeing the courageous “pro-family” and “pro-life” “leaders” such as Dobson, Perkins, Minnery, Bopp, Bauer, Land, and Sekulow marching with Dr. Keyes.
Where have these so-called “leaders” in joining with the courageous Rev. Manning and demanding our usurper-in-chief Barry Soetoro release his supposed long-form birth certificate?
I will tell you were virtually every signer of this “Declaration” have been.
Silent.
Dead silent.
Many of them
And now they want to engage in “civil disobedience?”
Republicans Chris Christie defeated billionaire incumbant John Corzine for governor of New Jersey and Bob McDonnel looks as though he will beat Democrat Clare Deeds for governor of Virginia. Both states went strongly last year for Obama.
Almost without exception, every Republican and conservative pundit I have heard on TV tonight has credited these Republican victories to voters widespread opposition to Obama’s and the Democrat’s tax-and-spend socialist policies (ObamaCare, The “Stimulus,” TARP, Cap-and-Trade etc…). And while these Republicans who were elected to govern their states tonight may improve the economies in both states (a good thing), the real question that nobody in the entire conservative media has asked is:
While both Christie and McDonnell both claim to be pro-life (although neither even mentions the sanctity of human life on their web site’s “issues page”), will either Republican governor who was elected uphold their constitutional oath to protect and defend the inalienable right to life for every human being in the womb and enforce the right to life for every human being in the states of Virginia and New Jersey by immediately closing down every abortion mill in each state?

No one is asking that question because it’s a stupid question in light of how and why these people won. And to seriously call on these governors to close down every abortion provider immediately is absurd.
I’m pro-life. It’s a serious issue. Your analysis isn’t.
To which I responded:
Really Kit?
Asking a governor to uphold his sworn oath to protect and defend the constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land, and enforce the inalienable right to life, is “stupid?”
Why do you believe, as a self-styled “pro-lifer,” Kit, that governors don’t have the obligation to enforce the right to life from conception to natural death they have sworn an oath in front of God Almighty to enforce?
And, if killing babies is a violation of their inalienable right to life (which I am assuming you, as a pro-lifer, believe) which they possess once they become human beings (at the very moment of conception), why is it “stupid” for me to expect that the chief executive officer of the state responsible for upholding the state and federal constitution, actually close down the abortion mills where those babies are daily being murdered?
Still waiting for Kit to reply. Something tells me not to hold my breath…
For those of you still under the delusion that Fox News (Hannity, O’Reily, Beck) is the “conservative” alternative to the leftist pro-Obama MSM, you need to listen to Rick Wiles’ October 14th interview (4th from top) with Pator James David Manning here
