Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Evangelical leaders discuss Obama's Christianity

A Southern Baptist leader says people who question whether President Barack Obama is a Christian and whether he was born in the United States are "irrational and a little unbalanced."

The Rev. Richard Land said on ABC's "This Week" that it's "just flat nuts" to believe the president is a Muslim or that he wasn't born in Hawaii. Land, who heads the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, said he considers Obama "a very typical 21st Century mainline Protestant."

The Rev. Franklin Graham, in a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," said the question is how you define who's a Christian. He said that for Obama, "going to church means he's a Christian." But Graham said he believes a Christian is one who has given his life to Jesus Christ and "is following him in faith." He added that only God knows if Obama is a Christian in that sense.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama and his family attended an Easter service at a Washington church founded in 1863 by freed slaves. The first family entered Shiloh Baptist Church to a round of applause and sat in a second row pew.

During Sunday's service, pastor Wallace Smith asked that no cameras be used, saying "this is a place of worship." He said the church prays for the first family every Sunday. His sermon was titled "The Resurrection Changes Everything."

Last Easter, the Obamas worshipped at a historically black Methodist church in a different part of the city. On Easter 2009, Obama visited St. John's Church across Lafayette Square from the White House.

What? No Easter Greeting?

Just when I thought the current team running the White House might have used up all its allotted mistakes comes word that President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.

Now, let’s forget for a moment that these greetings, which presidents issue on many holidays and commemorations of events, are largely perfunctory and symbolic gestures that nobody cares about.

Until there’s a problem with them.

Fox News first caught the blunder and put it into context that makes the omission insulting to Christians. The mistake is odd enough to call into question just what Obama’s priorities are.

By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

The White House  . . . did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president’s weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.

Obama, Fox notes, did head out to church yesterday and held an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House last week.

Obama is on a roll for religious holiday greeting screw ups. Fox News writes:

In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.

And as I noted last week, the president released a Passover greeting this month that compared the ancient Jewish exodus from Egypt to the Arab political awakening this year, which would be a beautiful thing if most Arabs didn’t seek Israel’s destruction.

The president is, of course, hosting the Easter Egg Roll at the White House today. But Easter isn’t really about rolling eggs on a manicured lawn, now is it?

You also notice he's not going to the royal wedding? He's going to the shuttle launch instead? To me that seesm like a pretty laim excuse to not go and rub elbows with the elites. Seems like he's dissing the possible future king of England. Consider that Diana died when she was involved in an Arabic family. And now Obama isn't going? And what was Kenya back in 1963? A British Protectorate. Hmm, the plot thickens. I think there is some significance to it.

Could it be that England already knows Obama's future in US politics and is now distancing?

Just seems strange he isn't going because he's going to see the shuttle, when he could have done that many times but hasn't. Instead he's gonna show up and be all buddy buddy with Sen. Giffords for photo ops. and officially put an end to the shuttle program.
