Bob and Wes once again take up the pen on the eve of the election to shine the light of truth on not only Sen. John McCain’s deplorable prolife record but also on what appears to be the quiet coverup of some Christian writers and leaders.
According to Republicans for Choice — a pro-abortion organization that endorsed Sen. McCain in February 2008 and who had representatives present at the Republican Party Platform Hearing held in Minneapolis this August — Sen. McCain’s staff sought to weaken the platform plank on the sanctity of life by promoting more inclusive language that this pro-abortion group had proposed. And, while their efforts failed due to the fact that “many of the Delegates on that Committee were not McCain Delegates — they were Huckabee and Romney et al Delegates,”[19] the Republicans for Choice claimed McCain’s cooperation with them as a victory — touting it as the “first” time that a Republican presidential campaign had sought to advance their agenda during a GOP platform proceeding. A statement on the official Republicans for Choice website reads:
Today the sub-committee on the Platform on Crime/Values considered historic language, suggested by Republicans For Choice, that the Party work with those who disagree on the Plank on abortion both within the Party and across party lines to find real positive and pro-active solutions to reduce abortion. This is the first time any GOP Presidential campaign has worked with the pro-choice elements with whom they disagree to try and broaden the Party’s position on abortion. The McCain campaign did not control enough votes on the committee to stop them from stripping this historic language out of the Platform. But this is a step forward.[20]
Was Mr. Ertelt aware of this activity on the part of Sen. McCain’s staff to undermine the pro-life plank of the Republican Party Platform in August — evidence for which is prominently displayed on the Republicans for Choice website? If so, why the slippery response to our concerns on Sen. McCain’s long-stated desire to weaken the platform’s plank on life? Is Mr. Ertelt prepared to say that our concerns were unfounded? How could it be that this information — along with Sen. McCain’s acknowledgment that he acted “too hastily” in voting to save Terri Schiavo’s life — got overlooked?

May God have mercy on our nation.
Psalm 2
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Hi!
This is not related to this post but I have a question for you!
I was reading your entry on Liquid Calcium, and I was just wondering if your midwife said if there was a maximum dose in a day that you could take, or if there are any side effects. I brought it up to my midwives here in Ontario Canada, and they have not heard of using it in labour before. One of my midwives did her training in Texas and she had heard of using regular calcium but not liquid before.
Any more info you could give me on this would be great!
Thanks!

Hi Kim, I really enjoy your website. We also live in S. Texas and belong to a co-op and a mom sent this out today. Praise God …..He is in control!
Did y’all ever read the Zion Covenant series of books (set in Europe during the Nazi/WWII era) by Christian authors, Brock and Bodie Thoene? They were really good. Here is a letter from the woman on whose life the Thoene’s based the books. With the added link to the youtube video of American schoolkids singing Obama’s praises. Tomorrow’s the day. Please pray that God has mercy on our country and doesn’t allow pro-abortion socialist Barak Obama to win the presidency. Christian German Sends a Warning to Americans Hymn to Hitler by Lori Kalner In Germany , when Hitler came to power, it was a time of terrible financial depression. Money was worth nothing. In Germany people lost homes and jobs, just like in the American Depression in the 1930′s, which we have read about in Thoene’s Shiloh books.In those days, in my homeland, Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising “Change.” He blamed the “Zionists” around the world for all our problems. He told everyone it was greedy Zionist Bankers who had caused every problem we had. He promised when he was leader, the greedy Zionist bankers would be punished. The Zionists, he promised, would be wiped off the face of the earth.So Hitler was elected to power by only 1/3 of the popular vote.
A coalition of other political parties in parliament made him supreme
Leader. Then, when he was leader, he disgraced and expelled everyone in Parliament who did not go along with him.Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would. The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning Of the Hitler Youth movement.
It began with praise of the Fuhrer’s programs on the lips of
Innocent children. Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the play yard. Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school.My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at
School. The political hymns of children proclaimed Change was coming to our homeland and the Fuhrer was a leader we could trust.I will never forget my father’s face. Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was sung on the lips of little children.That evening before he said grace at the dinner table, he
placed his hands upon the heads of my brothers and me and
prayed the Living Word upon us from Jeremiah 1:4-5′Now the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”Soon the children’s songs praising the Fuhrer were heard
everywhere on the streets and over the radio: “With
Our Fuhrer to lead us, we can do it! We can change the world!”Soon after that Papa, a pastor, was turned away from
visiting elderly parishioners in hospitals. The people he
had come to bring comfort of God’s Word, were “no longer there.”Where had they vanished to while under nationalized health
care? It became an open secret. The elderly and sick began
to disappear from hospitals feet first as “mercy killing” became
the policy. Children with disabilities and those who had Downs syndrom were euthanized.People whispered, “Maybe it is better for them now. Put them
out of misery. They are no longer suffering. And, of course, their death is better for the treasury of our nation. Our taxes no longer
must be spent to care for such a burden.”And so murder was called mercy. The government took over private business. Industry and health care were “nationalized.” (NA-ZI means National Socialist Party) The Businesses of all Jews were seized. (Perhaps you remember our story in Berlin on Krystalnacht in the book Munich Signature)The world and God’s word were turned upside down. Hitler
promised the people economic Change? Not change. It was,
rather, Lucifer’s very ancient Delusion leading to Destruction.What began with the propaganda of children singing a catchy
tune ended in the deaths of millions of children. The reality of what came upon us is so horrible that you in this present generation cannot imagine it.Our suffering is too great to ever tell in a book or show in
a black and white newsreel.When I spoke to Bodie about some of these things, she wept
and said she could not bear to write them. Perhaps one day
she will, but I asked her, “who could bear to read our suffering?”Yet with my last breaths I warn every Christian and Jew now
in the name of the Lord, Unless your course of the church
in America is spiritually changed now, returning to the Lord, there are
new horrors yet to come.I trembled last night when I heard the voices of American
children raised in song, praising the name of Obama (http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=WtGrp5MbzAI&feature=related ) , the charismatic fellow who claims he is the American Messiah. Yet I have heard what this man Obama says about abortion and the “mercy killing” of tiny babies who are not wanted.There are so few of us left to warn you.I have heard that there are 69 million Catholics in America
and 70 million Evangelical Christians. Where are your
voices? Where is your outrage? Where is passion and your vote?Do you vote based on an abortionist’s empty promises and
economics? Or do you vote according to the Bible?Thus says the Lord about every living child still in the
womb.”Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you.”I have experienced the signs of the politics of Death in my
youth. I see them again now.Christians! Unless you stand up now, you will lose your
freedom of religion.In America priests and preachers have already lost their
freedom to speak openly from their pulpits of moral danger
in political candidates. They cannot legally instruct you of which
candidate holds fast to the precepts of scripture! American law forbids this freedom of speech to conservative pastors or they will lose their “tax exempt” status.And yet I have heard the words of Obama’s pastor damning
America ! I have heard the words of Obama damning and
mocking all of you in small towns because you “cling to your religion.”But I am a woman whose name is unknown. My life is recorded
as a work of fiction. I have no fear of reprisal when I speak truth to you from the pages of a book. (Though the Zion Covenant books
are mocked and condemned by the left in America .)I am an old woman and will soon go to be with my Lord. I
have no fear for myself, but for all of you and for your
children, I tremble. I tremble at the hymns to a political leader which
your children will sing at school. (Though even now a hymn or a prayer to God and our Lord Jesus is against the law in public school!)Your vote must put a stop to what will come upon America if
Barrack Obama is elected.I pray you will personally heed this warning for the sake of
your children and your grandchildren. Do not be deceived.
The Lord in Jeremiah 1:7-8 commands every believer to speak up!”Do not say, ‘I am only a youth,’ to all whom I send
you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall
speak. Do not be afraid of them for I am with you, declares the Lord!”
I am in Prayer for you, and for the Church! Lori Kalner http://www.thoenebo oks.com/index. asp
Love the new Picture! Too cute!
The new picture is adorable! I’m going to be so glad when this election is over (for many reasons) but also so we don’t have to hear any more about Chuck Baldwin and why you’re a horrible Christian if you don’t vote for him.
Beautiful picture full of character. Baby looks so teeny, tiny next to all those great big sisters and brother! How quickly they grow.
That picture is so cute, you have a beautiful family!
Hey Anna I’d say that was a less than charitable characterization.
If you feel convicted by something I’ve posted i can’t help that.
I think McCain’s record speaks for itself.
Monica,
that letter was very, very sad, and scary too, even though I don’t live in America. I am shocked that the new america presdient supports the murder of babies already born! and this is okay? americans voted for this? millions of votes in favour of obama?
do people just not know about this? or not care?
btw, i dont understand where the woman’s actual letter begins. is it from “when hitler came to power…….?”
I have to second being glad the election is over. I am saddened that so many Americans are so ill informed and blind. I fear what so much democratic control will bring but there is nothing to do but pray (which the oldest-11yod-and I spent the last night into the early morning doing. not for a particular candidate but that he would protect us from the choices of so many lost neighbors).
