Sat, 10 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1077 Hey!, it's coming up, May 11. Mark your calendar. Do not forget! Mother's Day? Nope. It's "Pluralism Sunday"! The "Center For Progressive Christianity" has announced that on May 11: "Christian churches around the world will celebrate 'Pluralism Sunday' in worship - in recognition that other religions may be as good for others as their faith is good for them. The worship services will include speakers from other faiths, John Lofton Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1076 In some remarks in the White House East Room on the "National Day Of Prayer" (5/1/08) President Bush, whose father has said his son reads the entire Bible twice a year, has said that to be an American" means, religiously, well - nothing - which explains a lot about why we are under God's wrath. To applause, he told his audience: John Lofton Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1074 Well, the idea was to praise Phil Donahue because not long ago he demolished Bill O'Reilly in a discussion about the Iraq War. Phil actually invoked our Constitution. He was great. And I did this. I praised Phil. But, then, early on, the "religion" issue came up. I said something that indicated I might be critical of the "separate church/state" idea and that I might actually believe there is a God. Phil picked up on this and reacted like a vampire confronted with a cross, like a werewolf who woke up wearing a garlic necklace and with a silver bullet on the table next to him. Phil -- well -- just listen. Comments invited. And do, please, remember to pray for his salvation and the salvation of his household.

What would go through your head and heart if the local police stormed into your apartment while you and your friends were praying, dragged the leaders off to prison, and gave the rest of you a few shocks with electric cattle prods? Welcome to being Christian in China. John Lofton Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1073 A press release informs me that the Governors of all 50 States and the Virgin Islands have issued Proclamations for the National Day of Prayer. Some of the activities on that day will include: Private pilots flying over all 50 state capitols as part of something called Prayerflight. Also, each state's constitution and its acknowledgement of God's guidance will be read aloud. "It is our goal to unify our nation from the air and land, by each state praying for return to gratitude and dedication to God," says Michael Harnishfeger, Prayerflight founder.

I am alluding here to the new book "A Natural History Of Rape: Biological Bases Of Sexual Coercion" (MIT Press) by Dr. Randy Thornhill, Regent's professor at the University of New Mexico, and Dr. Craig T. Palmer, an anthropology instructor at the University of Colorado.

As far back as the tenth century, a wooden span across the Vltava River is mentioned. But, maybe even more incredibly, we have learned that this bridge - this very structure - dates from July 9, 1357 John Lofton Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1071 Will be a repeat of our TAV Show 153: If Texas, Other Governments, Really Want To Stop "Child Abuse" They Should Prosecute All Abortions As Murder And Punish Women Who Have Abortions John Lofton Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1067 I've been kicked off the "Free Republic" web site. No more posting allowed. The problem? The results of my brain scan. It revealed I had one -- a definite no-no if you're posting among the "FReepers." John Lofton Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1066 That, while physicians have long been united in condemning the procuring of abortion at every period of gestation, except as necessary for preserving the life of either mother or child, it has become the duty of this Association, in view of the prevalence and increasing frequency of the crime publicly to enter an earnest and solemn protest against such unwarrantable destruction of human life. John Lofton Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1065 n his most recent "700 Club" remarks criticizing the pro-Tibet protesters, Robertson said, regarding his own trips to Red China and how he was received, "Every time I've been there, it's been warmer and warmer and warmer and more friendly...." But, of course, the Chinese roll out the red carpet for Robertson. He's one of their most important "useful idiots." John Lofton Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1062 The 40th and final day of the 2008 session of the Georgia General Assembly has come to a close - and I committed the unpardonable sin. I forgot the duct tape. So much junk was brought to the floor for a vote on the last day that the back of my head blew off.* Here are just a few of the issues that the House Republican leadership believed were so vital to Georgia's future that they had us in session until near midnight. John Lofton Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1049 His presentation begins at roughly 52:00 and continues to the announcing of the vote to appeal the ruling of the chair at roughly 1:19. Praise God that there is at least one Godly man such as Bobby to make such an address!

BUCKLEY: Viewers of this program are familiar with the occasional inversion in routine in which the host becomes the object, the guests the examiners. John Lofton Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1033 Discuss this article John Lofton Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=1015 Are bombing, maiming, destroying property, killing, and genocide compatible with biblical Christianity? Patrick Henry College apparently thinks so. The war in Iraq is all of the above, yet this Christian college not only offers Army ROTC, it also offers its students as cannon fodder to the U.S. military. John Lofton Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=988 Yeah, I said it! It's OK with me if we're in Iraq 50 or 100 years * I would here, now, say 1000 years! John Lofton Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=971 RUDY GIULIANI, shown here with Pat Robertson, says, re: his adultery, that he's 'not perfect.' But do you have to be 'perfect' to not cheat on your wife? John Lofton Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=963 The religious significance of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is well known. But, what is not so well known is the sense in which Christ's birth is "the most important single political event in history," as Dr. R.J. Rushdoony has observed and documented in many of his books. For example, in his book "The Foundations Of Social Order: Studies In The Creeds And Councils Of The Early Church" (1968), Dr. Rushdoony, referring to the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.), calls this an event that "handed Statism its major defeat in man's history" because it established God as "the true sovereign and the true source of law." He notes: "Western liberty began when the claim of the State to be man's savior was denied. The State then, according to Scripture, was made the ministry of justice. But, wherever Christ ceases to be man's Savior, there liberty perishes as the State again asserts its messianic claims. Man is in trouble, and history is the record of his attempt to find salvation. Man needs a savior, and the question is simply one of choice: Christ or the State? No man can choose one without denying the other, and all attempts at compromise are a delusion. John Lofton Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=693 So the question for us is, “What are the rules of General Equity that we learn about voting, to which we must conform?” First, we must understand that we cannot vote for any man whom God has not chosen.[9] We know who God has chosen by measuring the candidate against God’s voter’s guide. We may lawfully only vote for such candidates who love God, are able, faithful, and hate covetousness. The Principles Governing the Election of Kings does not really alter the charge, but qualifies it. A Magistrate who hates covetousness would not amass wealth to himself, would not horde wives, and would not build an army for the purposes of invading foreign nations. Scott T.
