After reading this ask yourself the question: “Should another nation be determining what our laws are?”  “Should Christ haters be allowed to silence those who love Jesus?”

If you agree that we should continue to have our first amendment rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religious practice, contact your senators and kindly demand that they oppose SB 909.

ARE YOU ON THE ADL’S ‘HIT LIST’?

By Rev. Ted Pike
3 Mar 05

In 1993, the San Francisco District Attorney revealed that the Anti-Defamation League of B’Nai B’Rith illegally possessed more than 10,000 names and confidential information concerning right-wing Christians, conservatives and Moslems in America.

The ADL had used spies to penetrate secret police files, as well as creating their own lists of Christians. These Christians may have done nothing more than write a letter to the editor expressing a Christian, conservative viewpoint, or have criticized Israel.

Why had the ADL been keeping such secret files? What possible reason did they have for compiling the most detailed information on Christians and conservatives?

Long before Lenin, Mao Tse Tung, or Castro slaughtered and imprisoned millions of Christians in Russia, China, and Cuba, they compiled exhaustive lists of potential adversaries. When revolution finally came, they went down these lists, killing and imprisoning all opposition.

As the world saw so shockingly on Oct. 10th in Philadelphia, the ADL, acting through their national executive board member, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, descended in wrath upon 11 Christians, arresting and imprisoning them for “hate crimes” – crimes for which the ADL intended penalties of 47 years in prison and $90,000.00 fines each.

How many more of us are on the ADL “hit list” – possibly vulnerable to similar persecution?

My name was found among the 10,000 the police discovered when they raided the ADL’s San Francisco and Los Angeles offices.

Yours may be there, too.

In fact, your name may also be in Mossad headquarters in Israel. ADL spy Tom Gerard said that while he was collecting police records on unsuspecting Americans, Mossad agents were in close contact with him. Michael Gurvitz, researcher for the Los Angeles ADL office, also testified in trial that Mossad agents frequently passed through ADL headquarters, taking secret information to Israel.

Why do the ADL and Mossad work together so closely? It is because they are one. The ADL is the American arm of Mossad. ADL is the unregistered agent of a foreign power, Israel. All are part of B’Nai B’Rith International, the religious, educational, and fraternal parent of the ADL.

It is thanks to B’Nai B’Rith that anti-hate laws are now beginning to strangle free speech throughout the western world. ADL hate laws, now in place in 46 states, will continue to be made use of, as they were recently in Philadelphia, to persecute Christians. Those who love freedom must demand that they be repealed.

It seems that someone didn’t like this post.

Interestingly enough, though I did not post any commentary, I am labeled as “incredibly ignorant and bigoted.”

How is that so? This is an unjust, ad hominem attack.

This person has no idea who I am. Neither do they know, based upon this post much at all about me in any fashion. After all, I simply quoted the article.

Is the charge of ignorance one that has any basis in fact? Yes, it is. It is based in fact simply because no one knows everything.

On the other hand, I am not ignorant of the fact that the following shows a vast difference between homosexual and heterosexual behaviors, and it seems that the homosexual community takes great risks.

(See full article here)

As far as bigotry is concerned, I am not guilty as charged, either.

Here is the definition of a bigot:

American Heritage Dictionary – Cite This Source – Share This big·ot

I am indeed partial to my own group, religion, race (which is the human race), and politics. On the other hand, I am not intolerant of those who differ with me. It is the height of intolerance, however, for someone who is engaged in a lifestyle that is unhealthy for the person as well as the society in which they live to think that we should quietly sit by and say nothing of the detrimental effects of their choices upon society.

Oh, to be fair, the blogger said, “What does it matter that a priest somewhere calls homosexuality a sin?” It was also said, “Filing lawsuits, demanding that people publically retract what they’ve said and, worse of all, expecting people to undergo some sort of human rights ‘education’ is only going to feed the persecution complex that many of these people are harboring – in some cases, rightly so. Maybe you don’t think that freedom of speech laws should extend to controversial opinions you don’t agree with.”

Yet, at the same time, he attempts to silence us with the labels of “intolerance, bigotry, and ignorance.”

Finally, the blogger says, “Let their backwards beliefs speak for themselves and show the world that we’re not afraid of them.” Hmmmm…let’s see…….backwards? What is backwards is when men and women don’t understand basic anatomy and refuse to see that there is a difference between the sexes that is there for a reason. What is backwards is when people refuse to face the facts of the dangers of their lifestyle. It is even more backwards when such people then resort to name calling because they have no argument that is strong enough to support their belief. Do they not realize that it is extremely backwards to embrace a lifestyle which, if everyone in a society practiced it, would virtually eliminate that society either by lack of procreation or by the violence that is endemic to the homosexual community?

We cannot end without showing how truly tolerant we are. True Christians do not hate homosexuals, but desire to see them rescued from their lifestyle and sin.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1Cor 6:9-11 21^st Century KJV

Oklahoma House Representative Sally Kern is facing death threats due to the following statement:

“The very fact that I’m talking to you like this here today puts me in jeopardy,” she said in her speech. “So, so be it. I’m not anti, I’m not gay bashing, but according to God’s Word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it. They have more suicides … there’s more illness. Their life spans are shorter.”

“It’s not a lifestyle that is good for this nation. As a matter of fact, studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell for this country. I honestly think it’s the biggest threat that our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat,”

She has received 30,000 emails!  Thirty thousand!!!!!!!  Most of them were threatening…..many death threats.

So………this is what tolerance is all about?

I can tell that  Ms Kern is tolerant in the true sense of the word.

Read what she has to say:

“I’m not going to apologize for exercising my First Amendment right,” she told The Oklahoman.

She was equally supportive of the rights of homosexual activists to protest her remarks at the state capital.  “That’s great they came to the Capitol. This is a free country. They’re exercising their First Amendment right,” Kern told AP.

Where is the true tolerance?
