What better way to control citizens of a country than to control the water supply?  What better way to control the countries of the world than to control the seas?  As we have been watching the nightmarish infiltration and takeover of the United States of America by evil, communist enemies within, I have dreaded seeing each step they take to impose their iron grip on the American people.  These criminal traitors in the current federal government are no longer even trying to pretend that they are not the America-killing, communist poison we know them to be.

We have two stories in our face this week that are seemingly unrelated, yet at the same time, they both represent the anti-American, anti-freedom, dictatorial advancement of tyranny.  A nation’s water supply is one thing, and the seas and oceans of the world are another.  Yet, both America’s drinking, agricultural, industrial and recreational water sources and the seas and oceans of the world stand in jeopardy of a complete takeover by the freedom-hating communists.

Of course, you may know that our own federal government long ago assumed control of the “navigable” waters of the United States under the guise of “protecting” clean water, when it has been about nothing but power and control from the start.  You may also know that after Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) took over the presidency, the little dictators in the Democrat Congress attempted to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to delete the word “navigable” from “waters of the United States” in order to seize control of basically all water in our country, right down to the mud puddle in your back yard.  That bill is pending on the Senate calendar as of December 2010.

WND’s Bob Unruh had a column published on Monday, which was a follow-up from a report he did last month.  The story is one that makes me see red—communist red.  In its deranged, power-mad lust to impose a total dictatorship on our country, the Obama administration is targeting the water rights of western states and is fighting the city of Tombstone, Arizona in Tombstone’s efforts to repair its water system which was severely damaged in last year’s forest fire and the mudslides resulting from severe flooding.  Because part of the city’s water infrastructure is on federally-grabbed land, the Obama administration is forbidding the use of heavy equipment in the repair of the damaged water collection and supply system, effectively preventing the city from having water.

The facts in this story are outrageous.  As Mr. Unruh reported back in April,

“Nick Dranias, head of the Joseph and Dorothy Donnelly Moller Center for Constitutional Government at the [Goldwater Institute], said the issue is far larger than just a dispute over whether trucks and tractors can be used to repair city-owned property inside a federal land preserve.

‘This is a case of egregious federal overreach,’ an institute report on the conflict said. ‘If the Forest Service can effectively seize Tombstone’s 130-year-old water rights during a state of emergency – rights that the service recognized as valid in 1916 – no state or local government will be safe from the feds.’

In the arid West, most cities and towns, including Cheyenne, Wyo., and the Denver metropolitan area, draw at least some of their water from collection systems on federal lands. In other parts of the nation, municipalities have their wells and other critical infrastructure sometimes on federal properties.

‘By denying Tombstone access to its water, the Forest Service is threatening to directly regulate Tombstone to death,’ the institute said” 

These communist vermin in the current administration should be locked up in prison for their treachery against the states, the Constitution, America’s sovereignty and more!  Everything they have done could not have been done any better by an invading, foreign enemy army!  These dirty-rotten, America-hating rats!

This is a detestable story, and it gets worse, as Mr. Unruh reported on Monday,

“Now, a letter contradicting longstanding federal practice asserts a claim to water in arid Western states, such as Utah, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, that supersedes all other authorities, including decisions by state water courts.

‘Federal water rights are entitled to a form of protection that is broader than what may be provided to similarly situated state law rights holders,’ states a letter from Julie Decker, the deputy state director in the U.S. Department of the Interior to the Arizona Department of Water Resources.

The letter was objecting to state plans to do a routine ‘Designation of Adequate Water Supply,’ which reviews water resources, rights and uses when changes are proposed.

Decker’s letter said water is not ‘legally’ available for some users who may want to develop property in the area, because ‘the expressed federal reserved water right created by Congress is senior to all junior water users who initiate uses after the date of the establishment of the reservation.’” 

This is simply astonishing.  Who will stop these power-mongering goons under Obama?  Who will stop the despicable Obama himself?!

Add to this terrible story the renewed push this week in the Democrat-controlled US Senate to pass the American sovereignty-destroying United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty, and you have a double-whammy of communist water-grabbing outrage.

You may be familiar with the awful Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), which is an unconstitutional surrendering to the detestable United Nations of our national, military and industrial authority to conduct our business on and under the seas and oceans of the world in the way we have until now—if the treaty is ratified.  If the treaty is ratified, 12 nautical miles from land is where the United Nation’s authority would begin.

Arlen Williams had an excellent piece on this subject published on Wednesday at RenewAmerica.com.  In his must-read column, he provides valuable information, quotes and links to help us understand what a monumentally bad and dangerous move this treaty would be.  We must take immediate action against it by bringing serious pressure to all Senators in Washington to reject this suicidal treaty, which, if ratified, would be one more giant leap toward global governance and loss of American national sovereignty.

It is essential that the Obama administration and Democrat-controlled Senate are defeated in November.  It is essential that we kick out of office as many commie dirt bags at the local, state and federal levels as we possibly can.  It is no exaggeration to say that the survival of our nation as founded, our Constitution and our freedoms depend on it.

The celebration clamoring of the radical homosexual Left has reached an ecstatic, fever pitch since last Wednesday when Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) made history with his shameful pronouncement that he believes people of the same sex should be able to get “married.”  Never mind that a marriage union between people of the same sex is impossible in every way.  Just the fact that he made this wicked declaration should be enough to make even the most strident Obama supporter say, “Huh?”  Well, in theory it should, but I do not underestimate the density of the mind of a “true believer” in Obama.

Never before in American history could we imagine a president saying such an atrocious thing, but I guess by now we should not be surprised at anything that comes out of Obama’s mouth.

Since he made that statement on the day after the residents of North Carolina voted to define true marriage in their state constitution, all over the Internet and even in a cover story in Newsweek magazine, Obama is being pictured adorned with rainbows.  The rainbow, one of the most beautiful and glorious things on God’s Earth, has been hijacked by the demonic forces of Hell in the radical homosexual movement to be used as a symbol for sodomy.  I am certain that the significance of the choice of the rainbow is lost on many people in that movement, but it is most certainly not lost on the demonic hordes that inspired the theft in the first place.

Let’s look at the circumstances in which the rainbow first appeared in our world.  In Genesis, chapter 6, we see God, having given man free will, was deeply saddened that man had turned completely to evil, even though the Lord knew this would be the case from before the dawn of time.  God determined to obliterate all life from the face of the Earth—everything that has breath.

Noah was the one man who found grace in God’s sight, the one man righteous before God, and so the Lord instructed Noah to build the ark.  God also told Noah to bring aboard pairs of every kind of animal and a larger number of pairs of certain clean (food) animals.  In all the pairs of animals (and of the pairs of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives), one was to be male and one female, his mate.  Noah was to bring the male and female of each species in order to ensure the future propagation of all the animals in the world.  If Noah had only brought male creatures, or only females, after those creatures died there would be no more animals on the face of the Earth.  There was no homosexuality in Noah’s ark.

Once Noah had his family and all the creatures aboard the ark, the Bible states in Genesis 7:11-12,

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”

Although we do not know for certain, there is no indication in previous verses that it had ever rained on Earth before this time.  The Bible indicates there were waters on the Earth—the sea—and there was a river that flowed out of the Garden of Eden and split into four major rivers, but there is no prior mention of rain.

After the forty days and nights of flooding rains and fountains, in which the water level was 22 ½ feet above the highest mountain peak on Earth, and after every living being on the face of the Earth had died, and only Noah and his family and the creatures in the ark remained alive, the waters on the Earth remained for one-hundred-fifty days.

Then the Lord sent the wind to blow away the waters and dry the world, and He stopped the fountains of the deep and the rain from heaven.  Noah left the ark and built an altar and made an animal sacrifice to the Lord, and then God made a covenant, as recorded in Genesis 9:9-17.  In the King James translation, the Lord calls the rainbow His “bow,” as He tells Noah and his family,

“9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”

At this point, I can already hear the materialistic declarations that the rainbow is merely a naturally occurring, scientific phenomenon.  I can hear the “logical” explanations of chromatic dispersions, light refraction and prismatic displays of sunlight in water droplets.  Yes, I can hear many people trying to explain away the plain truth of the origin of the rainbow.  But, the rainbow is the sign of a sacred covenant between God and the people and creatures on the face of the Earth, and no sodomite thieves will ever be able to change that truth.

Over the weekend, my husband told me about a WND column written by Pastor Ken Hutcherson—“The Hutch”—taking on the homosexual hijacking of the word “gay.”  I love The Hutch, who is a former NFL linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks and now a church pastor, and each year I look forward to his pre-Super Bowl appearance on Rush Limbaugh’s show to discuss his thoughts on the two teams.

As I did research and wrote today’s column, I read The Hutch’s article and was astonished that he mentioned my exact thoughts on the hijacking of the word “gay” and the image of the rainbow by the homosexual movement.  The Hutch nails it in his column, and in it he also linked to his WND column titled, “Let’s Take Back the Rainbow!”  It is another right-on-the-money piece, and in both of those articles, he says it better than I ever could.

His two current columns on these subjects are must-reads.  They are messages encouraging Christians to wake up, stand up and take back the true meaning of the word “gay,” and to take back the rainbow as the divine symbol of God’s great mercy and promise that it is. 

Unless I am quoting others, I do not use the word “gay” when referring to homosexuality, because it is a lie.  Homosexuals are not “gay;” they are sexual deviants caught up in a miserable behavior addiction which is very difficult to escape, though escape is possible.

I will close with a passage from The Hutch’s WND column, “Let’s Take Back the Rainbow,”

“So what is it going to take to wake up this sleeping beauty known as the Bride of Christ? Do we not see what is at stake? Don’t we understand that if our symbols can be hijacked, so too can everything else we hold dear? The rainbow is only one example of many where the church has passively sat by and allowed others to redraw lines on the playing field. Linguistic redistricting is a pet peeve of mine, so don’t even get me started about terms like ‘tolerance,’ ‘justice’ and ‘love.’ Those fish will be fried at a later date. But for now, I have a simple proposition: Let’s take the rainbow back.

Yes, let’s take back the rainbow for God. Let the homosexual community find a different religious symbol to commandeer. If they were feeling congenial, perhaps the Muslims would let them borrow their crescent moon. In these desperate economic times, maybe the Wiccans would rent the pentagram to them. I don’t really care. What I want is for the Christian community to wake up, wipe the sleep from their eyes, and realize that they are in a spiritual battle that isn’t going away and has no demilitarized zones. The rainbow is a symbol, but it’s meaning points to the very character of God. So Christians …use this God-given symbol for His glory. Using it won’t make you a homosexual. It won’t make you a New Ager. It won’t make leprechauns real. But it might allow you to get into conversations with people who need to meet the very One Who gave us His promise in the first place.

Is it time for another Telemachus, the monk who tried to stop the gladiator fights taking place in Rome? In the process, Telemachus was stoned to death on Jan. 1, A.D. 404. However, from that day on, there was never another gladiator fight in Rome.

Martin Luther King stood up to make the issue black and white. We as Christians have watered down the truth and are trying to make it purple and pink.

Is it time for us to change history? Let’s take back the rainbow!”

Amen, The Hutch!

With all the terrible, anti-America, anti-Constitution news that emanates daily from the current communist regime in Washington, it is quite refreshing and uplifting to see some good news for a change.  On Tuesday, a victory for marriage was won in North Carolina, with over sixty percent of voters approving a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and prohibiting state and local governments from recognizing unmarried couples.

The consensus continues.  Everywhere this issue is put to a vote by the people, marriage is upheld.  North Carolina brings the total to 31 states to have done this.  It is a small, but vocal, minority that demands a perverse, impossible definition of marriage be recognized.  But, that is no marriage at all.  Two men or two women could never form a marriage union.  True marriage is not a cultural fad, isolated in time or place.  This is a global truth which has been in place since the dawn of time, since God created man and gave him woman to be his helper and wife.

On Wednesday, the News Observer quoted Tami Fitzgerald, the chairman of the group Vote for Marriage, as she spoke at a victory celebration at the Hilton North Raleigh,

“‘Ladies and gentlemen, through God’s great mercy we have won an overwhelming victory tonight,’ she said.

The voters, she said, sent a clear and unmistakable desire to ‘protect marriage in our state, in our country.

‘As you all know, marriage was not invented by government. Our creator established it as the union of a man and a woman in an exclusive lifelong covenant and it has merely been recognized by government as the key to a strong and flourishing society.’” 

She is correct.  Mankind did not create marriage; God did.  And, what God has made and defined, man can never redefine.  Oh, he can certainly try, but all he will succeed in doing is perverting God’s sacred union of one man and one woman, but man cannot change what marriage is.  No matter how many rogue judges or devious and deviant politicians try to force a false definition of marriage on the people of America, it will never be true.  Homosexual “marriage” is not only a sham, but it is a danger to our nation.  It invites nothing but evil, as it mocks God’s very design for human sexuality and family relationships.  Nothing good can come of it.

Naturally, those on the radical Left are unhappy with this vote.  Even the Communist-in-Chief, Barack Obama (or whatever his name is), expressed his displeasure through a spokesmouth.  According to the San Francisco Chronicle,

“…Obama’s campaign says he’s ‘disappointed’ with North Carolina’s constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Obama campaign spokesman Cameron French said in a Tuesday statement that the ban on same-sex unions is ‘divisive and discriminatory.’ French says same-sex couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as straight couples.” 

The word “discriminatory,” from “discriminate,” has been vilified in our deranged, politically correct society.  Discrimination is necessary for discernment.  The main definition of discriminate is the act of making careful distinctions.  Being able to discern truth requires discriminating between truths and lies.  Of course, when it comes to marriage, it is an easy call to discriminate between a fake and the real deal.

So, yes, defending and affirming marriage is most certainly discriminatory, and when you have polar opposite forces, each demanding to be recognized, you have sharp division.  There can be no common ground between those who would counterfeit marriage and those who are fighting to defend marriage against a lying “definition” of it which is born in the demonic pit of Hell.

Mr. French declared that same-sex couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as “straight” couples.  Well, Mr. French, every American, including homosexuals, already has all the same rights, when it comes to marriage.  We all have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex who is not a close relative and who is beyond the age of consent.  This is not about granting new “rights” to anyone; it is instead a full-frontal assault on the institution of marriage and the family.

The communists know that when they destroy the family unit, they weaken and fracture the unity of the society.  The family is the bedrock of civilization, and a society of families united behind moral values is not easily divided and conquered by a power-hungry, communist state.  That is why we are seeing such a fevered propaganda campaign aimed at our school kids.  The radical Left is working overtime to program acceptance of homosexuality into the impressionable minds of our young people.

They are making disturbing headway, as so many kids nowadays see nothing wrong with homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.”  I shudder to think of the future of America when a large majority of the younger generations fully accepts the disintegration of marriage and family.  We are already too far down that dark road, and one day we will reap the deadly harvest of it.

In the meantime, we thank the Lord for this victory in North Carolina, and we pray for victories for marriage in November in other states like Minnesota and Maine that are putting this vital issue to the voters.  The demonic forces of homosexuality and their human minions will not cease their wicked fight for counterfeit marriage, and neither will we stand down in our defense of truth.

As the days grow ever darker, I keep reminding myself that those of us who belong to the Lord, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will have the final victory.  Despite the terrible Hell to be unleashed on the Earth, in the very end, we win.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

WND’s Chelsea Schilling is a brave lady.  She courageously took an assignment to go undercover on Facebook to expose the darkest, most sickening aspect of that social network:  prevalent child rape imagery and video.  The result of her gut-twisting investigation is a four-part series being published this week at WND.  Part one, titled, “Kids Raped, Sodomized on Facebook Pages,” was published on Sunday.

For the many millions of Facebook users, this is new information.  As Ms. Schilling reports, not many people are aware that this side of Facebook exists.  She is shining the light on this depraved, criminal enterprise, and it seems that the leaders of Facebook are not happy about it.

In her series overview column from Monday titled, “Let’s End Child Rape on Facebook,” she gives an introduction of her investigation.  She opens the column,

“Just one month ago, I embarked upon one of the most challenging and heart-wrenching journalism assignments of my young career: Infiltrating the wicked underworld of child pornography on Facebook.

On my journey, I uncovered the most explicit photographs and videos of child rape anyone could imagine, all available on the ubiquitous social networking website 901 million users have come to know and love. Most Facebook users have no idea that this social network – a U.S.-based company making an initial public offering expected to value the company as high as $100 billion – is home to an enormous collection of unreported child pornography and sexual violence.

During the investigation, I developed several alias Facebook profiles of women who appeared promiscuous, bisexual and overtly flirtatious. Then I combed profiles for common indicators of pedophile interests – such as the book ‘Lolita,’ the movie ‘Thirteen,’ fan groups for incest, PTHC (preteen hard-core pornography) and ‘Receiving nude pics.’

One by one, I ‘friended’ some of the most wicked and dangerous criminals on Facebook.

Once our ‘friendship’ was approved, I instantly had access to albums filled with child pornography. Graphic images and videos of children and sex abuse were reported to the FBI, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Facebook. (You can read more about that investigation here.)

The children posing provocatively and being raped in these photographs and videos were young, very young – almost all under the age of 12.”

We often read stories about law enforcement entities uncovering online child pornography rings after months of investigation, and yet right here on the mammoth social networking site of Facebook, it appears that child predators are wide-open for busting.  You would think the managers of Facebook would welcome this kind of exposure of the worst of people who take advantage of Facebook’s free services to spread their hellish images, but that does not seem to be the case.  As Ms. Schilling reports,

“Through my alias accounts, I made dozens of reports to Facebook. In some cases, I called and emailed the social network, but received no response.

In fact – after numerous child pornography reports to Facebook – the social network actually blocked my account due to ‘security reasons.’ In many cases, the photos I reported were months old and had been viewed and shared by dozens or even hundreds of pedophiles.

Facebook rewarded my diligence and conscientious reporting by shutting down my accounts immediately after I informed it of dozens of cases of child sexual abuse.”

This is simply stunning.  What kind of warped motivations could make the leaders of Facebook side with child rapists over a responsible, concerned citizen who is trying to alert Facebook to the child sex crimes being propagated on their network?  Is this about protecting profits for Facebook, or what?

The website Stop Child Porn on Facebook also reports that Facebook has been uncooperative with law enforcement officials who are trying to catch child rapists.

From the homepage,

“So, the question is this: If Facebook has the human and technological resources to topple governments and shift human history shouldn’t it be able to prevent sexually explicit and abusive images of children—some only newborns—from being placed on their system?

And why is it that law enforcement from State Police forces to the FBI report to us that Facebook is ‘most uncooperative’ when it comes to working with them to stop this criminality?

A $100 billion dollar IPO… and called uncooperative by law enforcement? Something is VERY wrong.”

I really cannot get my mind around why the leaders of Facebook would not be willing to help law enforcement patrol their network for the most detestable of predators.  This is not a “privacy” issue, because Facebook is a public place.  Regardless of whether or not your Facebook page is set to be viewed by everyone or only the people you allow, it is still not private.  Privacy online is an illusion, and these brazen pedophiles should know it.

If the reason for Facebook management’s lack of cooperation is that they are concerned about Facebook’s image, then that should be all the more reason for them to cooperate with law enforcement to purge their network of the most despicable people walking the planet—those who prey on children.  Or, would they rather be seen as protecting pedophiles at the expense of the hearts, minds and bodies of innocent children and babies?  Whatever the reason, it cannot be good.

I applaud Chelsea Schilling and WND, as well as those involved with the Stop Child Porn on Facebook campaign, in raising awareness of the prevalence of this detestable abuse of children on the Facebook network.  Hopefully Facebook management will feel the pressure and do the right thing to help bring to justice these animals who prey on children.

As our world spins ever faster into hellish chaos, these kinds of reprehensible crimes will continue to increase.  We were warned in the Bible of the heightened frenzy of evil in the last days, and I know we have not seen the worst of it yet.  Satan knows his time is short, and he is lashing out at all of God’s creation with a vengeance, especially our precious, innocent children.  We must never tire in fighting to expose these demon-inspired, demon-possessed predators of children.  

WND’s exposé of bold, child-raping perverts on Facebook should also be a cold wakeup call to parents of young kids and teenagers who use Facebook and other social networking websites.  These degenerate monsters troll Facebook for young victims.  Parents must be aware of their kids’ online activities and must teach them to be wise online, just as they are taught to be wise when dealing with strangers in public.  The Internet is a public place, and it can be dangerous.

I recommend you visit WND to read Ms. Schillings four-part series on Facebook’s ugly, dark side.  Then, we can help spread the word to others to insist that the leaders of Facebook be held accountable for allowing these terrible images and videos to continue being posted to their network.  Behind all of these images and videos are real children who are being violated in the most horrific ways.

We must pray for these children.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

We do not subscribe to our local newspaper, but I occasionally read one of the copies that comes to the radio station where I work.  This past Monday, I read the advice columns that used to be written by identical twin sisters, Pauline Phillips and Esther “Eppie” Lederer, known to us by their pen names as Abigail VanBuren—“Dear Abby”—and Ann Landers.

The columns are no longer written by these ladies.  Eppie Lederer—Ann Landers—passed away in 2002, and her column, now called “Annie’s Mailbox,” is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar who were two former editors of her column.  Pauline Phillips’ daughter, Jeanne Phillips, has been writing the “Dear Abby” column exclusively since her mother retired ten years ago, due to health problems.  Jeanne Phillips now owns the pen name, Abigail VanBuren.

I have noticed that for many years the writers of both columns are fully on-board the Left’s program of trying to cast homosexuality in a positive light.  The writers of both columns have nothing but pro-homosexual things to say to homosexuals and their co-workers, friends and family members who write in for advice.  The writers of both columns are in the camp that believes homosexuality is an innate characteristic, like skin color, even though the world of “science,” trying as hard as it can, has found no proof of this.

It was a letter in the “Dear Abby” column on Monday that compelled me to address this issue in today’s Christian Patriot Politicast (of which this column is a transcript).  A mother wrote a letter explaining that her son had revealed to her and her husband that he is a homosexual.  She said they love their son, as do their other sons and daughters, and then she writes,

“My husband and I are now struggling because we’re not sure how God really views gays and lesbians. To listen to some religious people, my son will go to hell. I can’t believe that God would create a person to be this way, then turn His back on him.

I tried reading the Bible, but the wording was hard to understand. I don’t want to talk to my pastor about it because, even though I have accepted my son for who he is, I still have trouble talking to people about it because I’m not sure how they’ll react. Do you believe a gay person will go to heaven? – SOMEWHERE IN THE U.S.A.” 

How sad it is that this woman has a pastor who should be able to help her, yet apparently she still has little understanding of the Bible.  This would be a great opportunity to explain God’s clear position on homosexuality and His powerful redemption of us sinners through His Son, Jesus, but that does not happen in the “Dear Abby” column.  Instead, here is what Jeanne Phillips wrote in reply,

“DEAR SOMEWHERE: I believe that entrance to heaven is based upon a person’s character, not his or her sexual orientation. Today, because of modern scientific studies, we know more about homosexuality than was known when the Bible was written, and that sexual orientation is not a ‘choice.’” 

Not a word of what she said is true.

Entrance to heaven—or salvation—is not based on our character.  It is based on God’s grace alone.  As Paul, through inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit, wrote in his letter to the Ephesians,

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” 

There is no amount of “good works” that we can do to ever “earn” our way into heaven.  Neither can our “character” ever be good enough to gain us entry into God’s Kingdom.  The world’s major, false religions—which include some so-called “Christian” ones—emphasize works to earn one’s place in heaven, which only serves to nullify Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross.  True Christianity is based, not on our pitiful “good works,” but on God’s grace alone.  As Paul wrote, we receive salvation by faith in God the Father through Jesus the Son, and even the very faith we have is given to us by God.  Every bit of it is God’s doing.

Then, Ms. Phillips says that due to modern science, we know more about homosexuality than was known when the Bible was written.  If this were not such a serious subject, I would laugh out loud at the lunacy of that statement.  It matters not a whit what Ms. Phillips believes about the Bible, because her belief—or unbelief, rather—will not change the truth of it.

The Bible was written by men who were guided by the Spirit of God—God wrote the Bible.  And God, Who made us, knows all there is to know.  He most certainly knows everything about homosexuality—more than a billion scientists could ever fathom, and He is quite clear on what He thinks of it.

In Leviticus, God details a number of different sexual sins and the penalties for them under the Old Covenant.  Of all the various sexual sins, homosexuality is the one sexual sin that God describes as an abomination.  In the first chapter of the book of Romans, the sin of homosexuality is listed together with “all ungodliness and wickedness of men” who hold the truth in contempt.

God’s plain thoughts on homosexuality are in direct conflict with the message of the radical homosexual Left.  Desperate to justify their wicked behavior, they claim they were “born that way.”  God says otherwise.  These conflicting messages cause confusion in the minds of people who do not have a working knowledge of the Bible.  The mother who wrote the letter to “Dear Abby” expressed that confusion when she said,

“I can’t believe that God would create a person to be this way, then turn His back on him.”

That is because God does not create anyone to be homosexual.  What an awful thing it would be for the Lord to command that we not behave in a homosexual manner and then create homosexual people!  There is no contradiction in God, and He never changes.  Ms. Phillips is dead wrong in her claim that homosexuals do not have a choice in the matter.

As for the mother’s question about whether homosexuals can get into heaven, the answer to that is the same as for any other people.  Those who accept God’s free gift of salvation through Jesus’ willing sacrifice on the cross will be saved.  Those who reject it will not.  Those who accept Christ and receive His Spirit will be able to resist sin’s tyrannical hold.  Through Christ living in us, we are able to be free from sin, and that includes the sin of homosexuality.  This does not mean it is easy.  Getting free from any sinful addiction—and homosexuality is a powerful addiction—is a hard process, but through the Lord it can be done.  The Lord loves homosexuals just as He loves all sinners, and He wants them to be free from their sins through Him.

Just because we get saved does not mean we are “perfect.”  Perfection will never happen in this world, and we will always struggle and stumble, but we continue to strive toward the goal of the Kingdom of Heaven set before us, confessing our sins to each other and to God, Who forgives us.  We will ever be fighting our flesh, which is sinful by nature, but we are no longer slaves to sin, because God gives us the strength to avoid sin as He helps us grow in Him by His Spirit living in us.

Meanwhile, I hope that mother who wrote the letter to “Dear Abby” gets a second opinion, one that actually contains the truth.

There is a lonely, barren place in what passes as the logic center of the brains of members of the communist Left.  Or, we could simply say that they are liars.  That is certainly true of leftist leaders—they are indeed liars, but many millions of followers of the Left are more likely just deceived.  That is A-OK with the power masters of the communist Left, because it is their aim to deceive.

I came across a promotional video for a campaign to abolish the word “illegal” when referring to people who are in our country illegally.  Yes, that is correct.  These leftists who are pushing for the dismantling of United States national sovereignty and promoting open borders are seeking to hijack the very language we use to describe criminal aliens.  Of course, that is nothing new.  For decades, these people have been manipulating the language to disguise their communist platform with euphemisms.

The video was produced by a group that calls itself Colorlines, which is itself a creation of the George Soros-funded Applied Research Center.  According to Discover the Networks, the Applied Research Center is a “racial justice” think tank that views the United States as having “structural racism” deeply “embedded in the fabric of society.”  Oh, sure!  That is why we have members of racial minorities in positions of power at the highest levels in all our institutions.  It must be all that “structural racism” that has placed Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, Condoleeza Rice as the former Secretary of State and Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) as President of the United States, and countless other examples.  Racism.  Yeah, right.

The 47-second Colorlines video is called “Drop the I-word,” and here is a transcript:

Announcer on the video is a young woman.  She does not appear on-screen; it is just her voice.  She says, “Calling a person ‘illegal’ takes away their humanity.  We can join our voices to ask media and government to drop the i-word now.  The i-word derails real conversation about immigration and human rights.” 

[Brief clips of media use of the word “illegals” on television]

Announcer, “It’s racially charged, legally inaccurate and morally wrong.”

Video of Neil Cavuto saying, “Hello!  You’re illegal!” 

Announcer, “And, as we have seen in the past, hateful language can be deadly.”

Video of Robert Smith, professor from Baruch College, saying, “‘Illegal’ functions like a racial epithet.  It’s a way of legitimizing violence against a particular group of people because of what they are.  That’s the definition of a ‘hate crime.’”

Announcer, “But we can stamp out the slur.  No human being is illegal.  Let’s drop the i-word.  Sign the pledge at drop the i-word dot com.”

Good grief!  Where do I begin?  This is really a pathetic piece of lying propaganda.

First of all, calling a person “illegal” does not take away his humanity; it simply describes the fact that he has broken the laws of the United States to enter our country illegally.  “Illegal” applies to any lawbreaker, and it does no good for a society to deny basic truths and try to pretend that “illegal” is not “illegal.”

The announcer then says that the word “illegal” derails real conversation about immigration and human rights.  What?!  Exactly what conversation does she want to have?  What is being “derailed”?  We correctly point out that certain people in America are illegal aliens who do not belong in our country, and that is a conversation-stopper?  I suppose it is if the conversation you want to have pretends that these people are not criminal aliens who have snuck into our country.

And, human rights?  What human rights are being denied to anyone by the United States?  What human rights do criminal aliens have in our country?  Criminal—Illegal—aliens have the right to be detained and deported.  If only we would honor those rights for them more often!

The announcer claims the term “illegal” is “… racially charged, legally inaccurate and morally wrong.”

An illegal alien can be from any nation, anywhere on Earth, but it just so happens that many, if not most, illegal aliens in our country are from countries south of the U.S.-Mexican border, but we have no need to substitute the word “illegal” for any foreign nationality.  And, for her to say that categorizing an illegal alien as “illegal” is “legally inaccurate” makes me wonder what, if anything, they are teaching our kids in schools nowadays.  She also does not seem to understand that correctly describing an illegal alien as “illegal” is not morally wrong—it is simply the truth.

Then the announcer drops another whopper, “And, as we have seen in the past, hateful language can be deadly.”

Hateful or not, Language can be deadly?  That is a new one on me.  No, wait.  I guess you could maybe argue that language is deadly, say, for someone in front of a firing squad when the guy says, “Fire!”  But, even then, his word itself did not—and could never—actually kill anyone; the bullets did.  So a command given (language) can result in death, yet these people are trying to equate a proper description of illegal aliens to words that lead to death.  I would say “give me a break,” but I know a break will not be forthcoming from people who make these kinds of ridiculous assertions.

So, then they bring in the “expert witness,” a professor at some college I’ve never heard of, and he really stretches the logic taffy to its breaking point as he claims that the word “illegal” functions as a racial epithet.  Boy-howdy!  The Left never gets tired of finding new ways to create “racism” where none exists.  His claim is ludicrous, but he was not done.  He went on to say that the “racial epithet” of “illegal” is a way to legitimize violence against these people.  Again, huh?!

I would ask what the heck he is talking about, but there is no need.  When it comes to the “logic” of the Left, there is no good answer.  He just throws those stupid statements out there as if all he says is simply a given, when anyone with only one eye half-open can clearly see the lies in his words.

Finally, he puts the icing on his fallacious argument cake by declaring that—by his above reasoning—describing someone as “illegal” is a so-called “hate crime.”  Does this guy really believe this bunk, or does he believe we are dumb enough to buy it?

The final message in the video is that, “No human being is illegal.”  This statement is either stunningly ignorant or deliberately deceptive—either way, it is not good.

This video, this piece of communist propaganda, is just one more fragment of the massive program of the Left.  All their lies are for the purpose of hiding their true agenda for our nation, an agenda that includes domination by global governance through the United Nations, the dissolving of our national sovereignty, complete centralized government control of the people and the abolition of our United States Constitution—just for starters!

The part played by illegal aliens includes helping to solidify the power of the Left through election fraud.  Illegal aliens who vote in our elections are not limited to one vote, and they each have the ability to cancel out many votes by legal American citizens.  The communist Left (which does include “RINO” Republicans, who are also members of the Left) has for years been actively flooding our nation with illegal aliens for the purpose of diluting the conservative vote and wreaking havoc on our social systems.

Since conservatives outnumber liberals in the United States, the Left desperately fights against any measures taken to ensure the integrity of our elections and to enforce our immigration laws.  They screech and wail against common-sense voter identification laws, because they rely on election fraud to help their side “win” office.  Voter ID laws are a good way to curb quite a bit of voter fraud that occurs.

The truly depressing prospect is that our elections may already be compromised to the point of no return.  I wrote about this back in mid-March.  We are facing the potential for massive election fraud this November—fraud that would favor Obama, whether the nation votes for him or not.

As we move further into these last days of our world, however long they may be, we must remember that in fighting the forces of darkness, whose foot soldiers are members of the communist Left, our most potent weapon is prayer.  We will continue to pray for our nation that God will have mercy on an undeserving people.  America collectively turned its back on the Lord in the 1960s, and as this nation has continued its godless march ever-deeper and ever-faster into depravity, we certainly do not deserve the Lord’s mercy.  But, the Lord is still merciful, and He may yet grant America a reprieve from this sickening, seemingly inexorable slide into the hellish, communist abyss.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

On Monday morning, my coffee was tainted, thanks to Drudge, by a story he posted in large letters at the top of his site.  It was a stomach-turning, New York Times piece from Sunday that crowed about the Dear Leader Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) unilaterally deciding that he is proudly using his Executive powers to bypass Congress.  Never mind that the Executive branch does not have the power to bypass Congress in matters unrelated to the limited confines of Executive authority, and even among the Executive powers, the President must have the consent of Congress in certain instances.

Of course, the Times story is not Drudge’s fault; he just linked to it, but since I do not bother reading the communist Left’s mouthpiece newspaper of record, I would not have otherwise seen the article.  The title of the column was “Shift on Executive Powers Let Obama Bypass Rivals (Congress).”  What shift, and by whom?  The last I checked, the United States Constitution has not been “shifted,” although it has certainly been ignored for decades, but especially by the current administration.

The Times piece opens by reporting that last fall Obama came up with a catchy slogan—“We Can’t Wait”—to support his dictatorial decision (no, the Times does not put it that way) to act without congressional consent.  The point was made that in the first two years of Obama’s occupation of the U.S. Presidency, he had a like-minded, Democrat Congress, so he did not “need” to do too much outside of congressional authority.

Now that the 2010 elections have ushered in a Republican House, Obama has chosen to disregard congressional authority and illegally take power for himself.  Obama harps on what he calls “obstructionism” by Republicans in Congress.  Here is one thing that is so irksome that I cannot imagine why more people do not say it:  America does not need more laws!  They call congressmen “lawmakers.”  Stop making laws!  This country is already so overregulated and over-lawed that we are to the point of a near-complete loss of freedom for the American people!  We really need law-reversers, not law-makers!

And, I will say to “obstructionist” Republicans in Congress:  Please obstruct more!  Obstruct this communist dictator in the White House!  Obstruct all his America-destroying plans!  Far too many of his and his handlers’ evil schemes have already been forced on this nation, and if he is not truly obstructed, he will be the one to put the final nail in the coffin of our economy, our freedoms and our Constitution!

Regardless, looking back at the NY Times piece, we see this paragraph,

“Mr. Obama has issued signing statements claiming a right to bypass a handful of constraints — rejecting as unconstitutional Congress’s attempt to prevent him from having White House ‘czars” on certain issues, for example. But for the most part, Mr. Obama’s increased unilateralism in domestic policy has relied on a different form of executive power than the sort that had led to heated debates during his predecessor’s administration: Mr. Bush’s frequent assertion of a right to override statutes on matters like surveillance and torture.”

There we go again with the phony “Bush engages in torture” routine—an attempt here to distract from Obama’s shameful shredding of the Constitution with a “different form of executive power.”

Notice the statement of Obama “rejecting as unconstitutional” Congress’ rightful attempts to prevent his appointments of radical leftist “czars” who are unaccountable to Congress.  Let us look to the United States Constitution in Article II, Section 2, at the relevant passage,

“He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law:  but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.” 

So, according to the NY Times piece, Obama has “determined” that the Constitution is unconstitutional.  The above passage clearly indicates that the President does not have the authority to appoint officials without the advice and consent of the Senate, unless Congress has determined to allow him to appoint certain “inferior Officers,” which it did not do in the case of Obama’s czars.

The Times piece noted that Obama has chosen not to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act and has also directed the Environmental Protection Agency to do an end-run around Congress by mandating a curb on “greenhouse gas” emissions.  Obama has no authority to do any of these things.  He has no authority to refuse to defend the laws of the United States.  He has no authority to implement a “cap and trade” program when Congress has already rejected it.  Obama also made recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess—something the Constitution specifically prohibits.

The Times piece continues,

“But those moves were isolated and cut against the administration’s broader political messaging strategy at the time: that Mr. Obama was trying to reach across the aisle to get things done. It was only after the summer, when negotiations over a deficit reduction deal broke down and House Republicans nearly failed to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, that Mr. Obama fully shifted course.” 

The administration’s “broader political messaging strategy”?  Obama has no desire to “reach across” any aisle.  He has no desire to work with his opponents; he only wants to defeat them.  It remains a true shame that House Republicans did not “fail” to raise the nation’s debt ceiling.  They caved to Washington pressure and raised it, against the strong demands of the American people not to do so.

In a sane world, this strategy by the Obama administration to portray Congressional Republicans as obstructionist would backfire.  The fact is that if the American people fully understood the diabolical nature of the actions of this administration and the former Democrat-controlled Congress, they would be demanding that Obama be obstructed to the point of impeachment.

We do not need Congress to make thousands of new laws each session!  We need them to abolish thousands of laws and regulations!  We are letting our government, law by law, regulation by regulation, enslave us under tyranny while the media and the Democrats and even RINO Republicans cry, “We need to get more things done in Washington!”  No.  We.  Don’t.  We need to get many, many things un-done in Washington!

I also wish our side would dispense with calling Obama’s a “failed presidency.”  He has not failed, but succeeded, in more America-killing, communist dictates than any previous president, and if he is reinstalled for a second term, his “success” will be dreadful for our country.

The New York Times piece makes sure to point out that Republicans should not criticize Obama’s insane power grabs, because Republican presidents have done it, too.  Yes, the 20^th century saw a staggering increase in both Republican and Democrat presidents stepping out of constitutional bounds, but no Republican or Democrat in American history has done the unconstitutional damage to this Republic and violated so many laws and limits on his power as Obama has.  None.

Who will stop this power-mad man in the White House?  Who in authority is unafraid to hold him accountable for his lawless actions?  Since I fear the fix is in on our national elections—through foot soldier Democrat vote fraudsters, remote voting machine hacks to undetectably change the results, and this new, international election results reporting firm, which removes local double-checks on vote totals—then it will literally take mercy and a miracle from the Lord to keep Obama from “winning” reelection, regardless of how disliked he is.  He could not win in an honest election.  I believe only God can stop Obama from getting a second term.

I’m praying for a miracle.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

The Word of God has warned us, so we are not surprised when people inspired by the forces of darkness screech and wail against God’s Truth.  Some of the most vicious, anti-Christian, anti-truth people in the world are the radical, homosexual activists, and among them, not many are as vile as Dan Savage.

Savage is a twisted, sex columnist who started the “It Gets Better Project,” a propaganda tool targeting kids, which pushes the homosexual lifestyle on them under the guise of an “anti-bullying” campaign.

From their website is this description,

“The It Gets Better Project was created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach – if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone — and it WILL get better.”

That is a damnable lie.  Numerous studies have shown that depression, drug abuse and suicide rates for homosexuals are much higher than among the normal population—yes, I said “normal”!  It is detestable to lie to young people, encouraging them to embrace homosexuality, claiming it will make them happy in the long run.

At the About.com website is a report from 2008 which states, in part,

“According to a new study, which analyzed 25 earlier studies regarding sexual orientation and mental health, homosexuals and bisexuals are about 50% more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to suffer from depression and abuse drugs.

The researchers also found that the risk of suicide jumped over 200% for those who had engaged in a homosexual lifestyle.”

The column goes on to quote the lead researcher on the study who blames bullying and lack of social acceptance for those increased problems among the homosexual population.

That is not the real reason.  When a person violates God’s natural order for human behavior, whether it is through sexual deviancy or any other sinful behavior which runs counter to God’s natural law, that person will invariably be miserable.  All manner of sinful behavior leaves the person who engages in it unhappy and unfulfilled—at the very least.  This is especially true of homosexuality, which God has described as abominable and detestable to Him.

Dan Savage, the vicious homosexual radical who has said the most despicable things about those who disagree with him, was giving a speech last Friday in Seattle.

As reported by Focus on the Family’s CitizenLink,

“A group of high school journalism students attending a conference called ‘Journalism on the Edge’ in Seattle over the weekend felt they were pushed over the edge by syndicated sex advice columnist Dan Savage.

Savage, the creator of the two-year-old It Gets Better Project, which encourages teens struggling with same-sex attractions to embrace homosexuality, was invited to give a keynote address last Friday at the JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention.

Students were expecting him to talk about bullying. But they also got an earful about birth control, sex, and Savage’s opinions on the Bible.

A 17-year-old from California who was attending with half a dozen other students from her high school yearbook staff, was one of several students to walk out in the middle of Savage’s speech.

‘The first thing he told the audience was, ‘I hope you’re all using birth control!’’ she recalled. Then ‘he said there are people using the Bible as an excuse for gay bullying, because it says in Leviticus and Romans that being gay is wrong. Right after that, he said we can ignore all the ‘B.S.’ in the Bible.’

‘I was thinking, ‘This is not going a good direction at all,’ Then he started going off about the Bible. He said somehow the Bible was pro-slavery. I’m really shy. I’m not really someone to, like, stir up anything. But all of a sudden I just blurted out, ‘That’s bull!’

As she and several other students walked out of the auditorium, Savage noticed them leaving and called them ‘pansies.’”

This freak is speaking to high school kids!  This man who is supposedly an anti-bullying crusader is perhaps the biggest bully out there.  For him to go before these kids and say these kinds of things, to call Bible-believing high school students “pansies” is sickening, but I suppose that is his goal—to sicken those who oppose his hellish message.

Savage certainly has a record of saying things that would make the ancient, smoking-grease-spot-residents of Sodom and Gomorrah proud.  Savage has invited former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain to perform oral sex on him.  He has wished all Republicans were “f-ing dead.”  He has said things about Rick Santorum that I cannot easily describe, because they are so heinous, and through all of it, Savage is lauded and uplifted by Hollywood celebrities and media minions of Hell.  Even Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) has lent his support for Savage’s “It Gets Better Project.”

Of all the reprehensible things Dan Savage says and does, the most sinister part of his sodomite crusade is his targeting of children.  Jesus has very strong words for those who would hurt children and cause them to stumble.

As Peter LaBarbera, President of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, points out,

“Savage is probably the leading activist today working to normalize homosexuality to children and young people – one of the most evil things any person can do (because sexual sin is destructive and our Creator calls homosexual behavior ‘detestable’).  Jesus hates the corruption of youth: ‘Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him [if] a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.’ (Mark 9:42).  Now Savage has his own show on MTV (‘Savage U,’ beginning April 3), which could become another huge platform to degrade kids’ morals.”

People who peddle perversion to our kids will one day pay a terrible, unimaginable price if they do not turn from their wicked ways and embrace the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus.

By preying on children, people like Dan Savage become the most despicable among us.  He offers children and young adults lies from Hell when he encourages them to embark on a homosexual lifestyle that he assures will make them happy.  He lies when he says that people who speak out against homosexuality are “bullies” and “bigots.”  As I have pointed out before, the “anti-bullying” campaign is nothing more than the latest platform of the radical homosexual Left to indoctrinate our school kids with their perverse agenda and to gain more young recruits into their dead-end, homosexual club.

People like Dan Savage are only offering Hell on a silver platter to vulnerable, impressionable kids, and one day he will be sorry for doing so.  But, thankfully there are many Jewish and Christian warriors who offer real help and real hope to people of all ages who may be dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction.  Groups like Jonah International, Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality (P.A.T.H), Exodus International and others provide truthful answers and support for those desiring to fight and overcome same-sex attraction.

Other ministries work to shed light on the radical homosexual movement’s activities and agenda in our nation.  Two tireless groups are Americans for Truth About Homosexuality and Mass Resistance.  To be able to operate and provide valuable resources and information, all of these groups rely on the generous financial support of concerned members in our communities.  We should keep them in mind when we donate to worthy causes.

Regardless of how venomous the radical, homosexual Left becomes, we will not stop telling the truth about the immoral, unhealthy, unnatural and self-destructive homosexual lifestyle.  We will not stop countering the lies of homosexual activists with the Truth of God’s healing redemption for those afflicted with unwanted homosexual desires.

God sent his only Son, Jesus, who willingly paid the complete price for all the sins of man.  Jesus now offers us the free gift of salvation, through His own payment, if we will only turn and accept it.  With that gift comes all manner of healing, real freedom, true wisdom and knowledge.  God’s Great Gift Offer is extended to everyone, and the forces of Hell will never prevail against it.

Very dark days are ahead, and it may seem like the Dan Savages of the world are victorious in their wickedness, but one terrible, awesome Day, all the lies of Hell and the enemies of God will be burned to a crisp at the coming of the Lord by the Word of His mouth.

Dan Savage, you have time—while you’re still alive—to avoid the fire, if you so choose.  Turn and accept forgiveness, freedom and salvation from God the Father through Jesus, Who loves you so much that he paid for your sins long before you were ever born.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

It was a creepy story, but not a surprising one, considering the profusion of computer hacking and surveillance that occurs in our world today.  If you are a regular listener to his nationally syndicated radio program, you may have heard Rush Limbaugh relate his experience driving in to work on Tuesday morning.  You may know that Rush is a huge fan of Apple products, and he buys the very latest Apple gadgets as soon as they are released.

So, he has his Apple iPhone with the snazzy, Buck Rogers-esque voice transcription software, which records spoken words and turns them into digital text.  It did not take waiting until the 25^th Century to have such marvelous technology, and this kind of thing is probably the very least of what is out there.  I have long believed that if you can imagine it, it has probably already been done, and I am certain that the average Joe Schmoe, like me, is completely clueless as to what our government and military are able to do.

On the way to work, Rush tried to use his voice transcription software to send a message to his wife, Kathryn.  As he reported on his show on Tuesday,

“I’m maybe a quarter of a mile from home on the way in to work, I attempt dictation, and nothing happens. I hit the microphone button and I get the three beeps and no connection. It’s not working. So I say, ‘Ah, damn it, the system’s down. Something’s wrong with the servers,’ but I keep trying. The third attempt… I was trying to respond to some stuff Kathryn had sent me. She needed an answer on some stuff. So I said whatever it was my answer was the third time, and what came back to me? This is what you’re not gonna believe. What showed up on my iPhone was ‘Obama’s minions are taking over and there’s nothing you can do about it,’ and I hadn’t said anything like that!”

Cue the Twilight Zone theme music.

Technology is a double-edged sword that can cut for good or for evil, and when you are dealing with a federal government that has been infested with communists at the highest levels, as we have today, then you have the scary prospect of those in power using technology for very evil purposes, indeed.  Of course, when it comes to computer hacking, there are an endless number of possible culprits.  It is just that we know the Obama administration would love nothing more than to silence the powerful voices of those like Rush Limbaugh who forcefully declare the naked truth about the tyrannical Obama and his fellow-traveling, commie hordes.  Naturally, the first thing we think here is that whoever did this is likely tied to the Obama administration, or at the very least, sympathetic to it.

Rush was rightly perplexed and disturbed by this mysterious invasion of his personal electronic space, and he tried to find an explanation, as he reported on his show,

“So I sent this story. I typed this story I just told you and I sent it to a bunch of computer people. I said, ‘What could possibly explain this?’ And the answers I got back ranged from, ‘You’ve been hacked,’ to, ‘Somebody got into your car,’ to, ‘Somebody’s tampered with the Bluetooth module.’

It was, ‘Somebody’s done something. They’re sending you a message that they can do it,’ or, ‘Your Bluetooth module is so totally defective that you need a new one,’ or, ‘There’s something wrong with the LTE hotspot.’ There was no answer that was satisfactory. This has never happened. But that first message that came back was: ‘Obama’s minions are taking over.’ As I say, I can’t prove this, because I didn’t keep the transcriptions. I deleted them. I don’t even know if I actually deleted them. I just didn’t send them. (They are not on the phone. I went and looked.)” 

Somebody’s done something, and they’re sending you a message.  That may be an understatement.  Not only is Rush getting a message, but the entire talk radio world and its millions of citizen listeners are also getting a message.  If “they” can do it to Rush, they can do it to any of us.  For that matter, if they can hack into super-secure Pentagon computers, which they have, then hacking the computers and smart phones of average Americans is likely as easy as walking through an open door.

Of course, we should realize that our own government has the ability to monitor the contents of our hard drives, each website we visit, and every single keystroke we type on our computers, our so-called “smart” phones—anything.  This is actually a timeless truth declared in Scripture: nothing is hidden that will not be revealed.  Now, when Jesus made that declaration, he was talking about words spoken in “secret” and thoughts hidden in the hearts of men, which are all in plain sight before God, but it is still a universal truth that applies in the modern cyber world, as well.

The disturbing thing here is that our online activities in our “private” emails or “private” social network pages, and even our offline Internet-connected-computer activities, are able to be laid bare by the cyber-snoops for the nefarious members of this communist regime in Washington or any other cyber-hacking entity.

To those of us with a fertile imagination, the possibilities are chilling.  What is to stop the regime’s hacker henchmen from literally putting words in our cyber mouths?  How could we ever prove that we did not say or do the things of which we could be falsely accused, such as issuing threats against the lives of government officials?  You saw how easily someone changed Rush’s spoken words into something not even remotely related to what he actually said.  Could this be a foreshadowing of one way in which American patriots will be falsely accused of being criminal enemies of the state to be imprisoned?

Ultimately, I suppose if “they” want to get us in that way, there is not a whole lot we can do to stop it, short of ceasing to use any electronics and computer devices.  Just because these possibilities exist does not mean we should be careless.  For instance, if you have traded in your old cellular telephone for one of the new phones that has Internet connectivity—the smart phones—you should treat that smart phone with the same security precautions you would for your home laptop or PC.

Not everyone considers this, but you should always password protect your smart phone.  Though not an assurance against hacking, it is better than nothing.  Another tip is to learn how to remotely scrub the data from your phone, in the event it is lost or stolen.  There are instructions for doing these things available on the Internet.

As I wrote this column on Wednesday while also listening to Rush, he finally made a brief mention of the Tuesday iPhone incident.  He said he has not yet heard back from Apple on what might have caused this.  The culprits in Rush’s phone hack will likely remain a mystery, but the message is chillingly clear:  we can get to you, no matter who you are.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.

Members of the anti-Christian, communist Left are obsessed with banishing the presence of Christian expression from all areas of the public square.  They are probably the most fervent in this crusade in the government-run public school classrooms, where teachers are persecuted for displaying even a hint of Christianity.

I have written before about a California teacher, Brad Johnson, who is fighting back against a tyrannical school district that ordered him to remove patriotic banners from his classroom walls—banners that simply included the name of God in their sayings.  These banners had long been hanging in his classroom, but the God-hating tyrants in his school district decided they could no longer abide even the written mention of the name of the Lord in that classroom.  How very like Satan that is!

Mr. Johnson’s appeal is still pending in the courts, and the Thomas More Law Center has vowed to take it to the Supreme Court, if necessary.

There is another American teacher being persecuted for his Christian faith.  This is a case out of Mount Vernon, Ohio.

As reported at the Rutherford Institute website, which is handling the case,

“The Rutherford Institute has appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of John Freshwater, a Christian teacher who was fired for keeping religious articles in his classroom and for using teaching methods that encourage public school students to think critically about the school’s science curriculum, particularly as it relates to evolution theories. Freshwater, a 24-year veteran in the classroom, was suspended by the Mount Vernon City School District Board of Education in 2008 and officially terminated in January 2011. The School Board justified its actions by accusing Freshwater of improperly injecting religion into the classroom by giving students ‘reason to doubt the accuracy and/or veracity of scientists, science textbooks and/or science in general.’ The Board also claimed that Freshwater failed to remove ‘all religious articles’ from his classroom, including a Bible.” 

Here we have the case of a Christian teacher encouraging his students to approach the unproven, unobserved theory of evolution with the skeptical eye it deserves.  The anti-Christian crusaders in our world are so viciously against any teachings that declare God is the Author of the universe and all that is in it that they will fiercely defend a terribly flimsy theory—or hypothesis, rather—that seeks to explain the origins of life in this amazing world in which we live.  The hypothesis of evolution—which is not even a plausible explanation, with its gaping, fossil record holes and fantasy mechanisms—is the best the godless among us have come up with, and they cling to it with a fanatical fervor.

The fact that this school district even cited Mr. Freshwater for having a Bible in his classroom is also chilling and disgusting.  We must remember that our God-given rights do not end just because we become teachers in the public school system.  There is no such thing as the fabled “separation of church and state” as the Left insists.  The only constitutional mandates are against the federal government establishing an official national religion in America, which it has never done, and interfering with Americans’ freedom to practice their faith, which it is doing more and more each year.

The bizarre beginning of this case was back in 2008, as reported in Mr. Freshwater’s Appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, filed last Friday by the Rutherford Institute,

“Despite objective evidence demonstrating Freshwater’s consistent excellence as an eighth-grade science teacher for over 20 years, and despite his immaculate employment record, Freshwater came under intense scrutiny following a 2008 incident in which a common classroom science experiment with a Tesla coil used safely by other teachers for over 20 years allegedly produced a cross-shaped mark on one student’s arm.

While the Referee who investigated this incident ultimately determined that ‘speculation and imagination had pushed reality aside,’… community hysteria resulting from rumors about Freshwater and the incident prompted the [School] Board to launch a full-scale inquisition into Freshwater’s teaching methods and performance.  This sweeping critique focused entirely on trace evidence of Freshwater’s religious faith which allegedly appeared in the classroom.  On January 10, 2011, the Board adopted a Resolution terminating Freshwater’s employment contract based upon a recommendation issued by Referee R. Lee Shepherd, Esq., on January 7, 2011 that Freshwater be terminated for ‘good and just cause.’”

The supposed “good and just cause” was Mr. Freshwater’s allowing his students to examine both sides of the evolution debate and teaching them to recognize issues in printed materials that could be questioned or debated, in other words, he was teaching his students critical thinking!  The godless School Board also found offense in the fact that some of Mr. Freshwater’s counterpoints to the hypothesis of evolution involved—GASP!—arguments for Creationism or Intelligent Design.  Oh, the horror!

According to the School Board, this “good and just cause” amounted to “Failure to Adhere to Established Curriculum.”  That sounds like something out of Nazi Germany!  Absolutely NO God talk allowed here, comrades!

Mr. Freshwater was also accused of “Disobedience of Orders,” because he was told to remove certain items from his classroom, which he did, but there was a patriotic poster featuring Colin Powell that he did not remove, but said he did not recall being told to remove it.  That poster was handed out to teachers by the school office and was displayed in other classrooms in the district besides his.  He also had a couple of school library books: one was a Bible, and one was titled “Jesus of Nazareth.”  Because he had these things in his classroom, he was accused of “defiance.”

This is an outrageous injustice, and this case is extremely important for the future freedoms of teachers and students alike.  As the President and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead, stated,

“Academic freedom was once the bedrock of American education. That is no longer the state of affairs, as this case makes clear.  … What we need today are more teachers and school administrators who understand that young people don’t need to be indoctrinated. Rather, they need to be taught how to think for themselves.”

The godless people who aggressively push the hypothesis of evolution in our public schools cannot tolerate opposing viewpoints, and if Mr. Freshwater ultimately loses this battle in the courts, all of America will have lost yet another chunk of our Christian liberty at the hands of anti-Christian tyrants.

As reported by the Rutherford Institute, two lower courts have already sided with the School Board against Mr. Freshwater, ignoring the First and Fourteenth Amendment violations by the school district.

The conclusion of Mr. Freshwater’s appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court states,

“The [School] Board’s actions constitute a violation of the First Amendment academic freedom rights of both Freshwater and of his students, of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause, and of Freshwater’s right to Equal Protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.  Because of its significant implications for academic freedom in public schools and the continued vitality of teachers’ First Amendment right to openly practice and discuss their religious faith, the case is one of monumental public concern.  As no reviewing court has yet examined these critical civil liberty components of this case, Freshwater prays that this Court will grant his petition and undertake that essential analysis.”

We should all be praying that Mr. Freshwater is given a victory over this anti-Christian, public school district.  Ultimately, we are all Mr. Freshwater, and if he loses, we all lose.

We should also pray for, and consider financially supporting, the Rutherford Institute, which is made up of front-line, legal warriors who provide free legal services to people who have had their constitutional rights threatened or violated.  From the Institute’s information page,

“The Institute’s mission is twofold: to provide legal services in the defense of religious and civil liberties and to educate the public on important issues affecting their constitutional freedoms.

Whether our attorneys are protecting the rights of parents whose children are strip-searched at school, standing up for a teacher fired for speaking about religion or defending the rights of individuals against illegal search and seizure, The Rutherford Institute offers assistance—and hope—to thousands.”
