Liberty Counsel Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman 9/17/2013 How ironic that on this Constitution Day, Barack Obama and his leftist associates are focused on policies that will further subvert the Constitution!  Right now, they are skirting the constitutional requirement that the President prepare budgets for congressional review and approval.   With the current Continuing Resolution (CR) about to expire, we are entering the high drama that getting a CR passed brings to our nation’s political life.  Article I of the U.S. Constitution requires Congress to pass a federal budget. Despite the clear priority the Constitution gives to maintaining discipline in federal spending, the last time Congress enacted a budget was April 29, 2009! Further underscoring the crucial importance of fiscal control, the Congressional Budget Act requires the President to submit a budget to Congress by February 1 every year.  But now, we have fallen into the habitual use of Continuing Resolutions, with Congress ceding more and more power to the Executive Branch in order to get past another cliff-walking, bitterly partisan experience. The CR process is yet another front in the escalating war liberal “progressives” are waging on America’s core values and institutions.  Please read my Constitution Day message below – Mat.  Joseph,  Before starting this important message, please join the entire Liberty Counsel family of ministries in prayer for the families, co-laborers, friends, and associates of those cut down in yesterday’s brutal assault at the Washington, DC, Navy Yard.  Our nation has suffered yet another severe tragedy, and we pray that anti-liberty forces will not succeed at exploiting this event for anti-Second Amendment or other purposes. Sadly, the atmosphere in our nation has become so divisive that we must expect opportunists to attempt to make political gain out of even the tragic loss of twelve patriotic, faithful public servants. Whether we like it or not, war has been declared on our shared values.  For instance, our religious convictions and rights of conscience are routinely being attacked and people of conviction now stand perilously close to experiencing outright persecution.  You know the litany of moral losses our nation has endured at the hands of godless socialists… Marriage between one man and one woman has been marginalized. Parental rights are being actively undermined. We are being forced to pay for the killing of babies. Prayer is being sequestered in the public square.  Christians are being prosecuted for merely standing on their godly convictions. We are being told there are no “absolutes.” What was once right in our culture is now somehow wrong.  Radical cultural groups are shaping our national policy discourse, imposing their liberal agenda upon the society at large. This process is empowered by a powerful lobbying machine and emboldened by a President whose stated goal is to radically transform our nation.  President Obama and his administration have proven to be the most hostile executives in American history toward marriage, the family, and other revered values and institutions.   In fact, this administration’s radical social agenda and advocacy of anti-family and anti-marriage policies have led to a disgraceful mockery of what it means to be an American!   We must choose to fight this war together – or simply succumb to the “transformational” forces which seek to diminish and squelch our voices for life, liberty, and family. May God help us to boldly answer His call! ++Liberty Counsel is fighting at the epicenter of the battle for the soul of America. Liberty Counsel has the most weighty and challenging docket of lawsuits and other legal matters since our founding in 1989. As I’m sure you know, we have the most comprehensive lawsuit in the nation to rid the country of the scourge of ObamaCare. This case is the only one in the country that challenges the entire employer mandate for all employers.   ObamaCare represents a frontal attack on religious freedom. ObamaCare is a being used by this administration as a weapon to destroy the fundamental right of free conscience in this nation.  The Lord has placed us at the forefront of efforts to eliminate this immoral law from the statutes of our nation!  Liberty Counsel is also fighting against the implementation of California and New Jersey laws banning “change therapy,” which aim to stop any counseling to minors seeking to diminish or eliminate unwanted same-sex sexual attractions, behavior, or identity.  Under these bizarre “laws,” Christian counselors are prohibited from counseling against the homosexual lifestyle – even if the client sought help to break free! These outrageous edicts place parents and counselors on the wrong side of the law and are a gross infringement on parental rights.    I have time and space to address only a few of our leading cases, but we are currently pressing forward in scores of lawsuits, administrative actions, legislative initiatives, and other legal actions.  You can visitlibertycounsel.com to learn more about the breadth of our current legal activities. ++We are literally at war and only one side can win!  Joseph, whether we like it or not, war has been declared on our Christian values and the pillars of American society.  We fight these battles one at a time.  That’s how wars are won.  But the fact is, our war chest is under great pressure right now, especially as we confront enemies of liberty on so many vital fronts.  We need your financial help now more than ever to stand against the legal bullies pushing forward the Left’s radical agenda.  Please, Joseph, I encourage you to stand with us and send a special gift today as we take on the leftist organizations and individuals who fully intend to squash our inalienable rights as Americans and marginalize our values as Christians.   Every gift – whether large or small – helps us engage in these intensifying battles.  Please go here to help: http://www.libertyaction.org/1310/offer.asp Right now, our litigation docket is full to overflowing with crucially important cases. Please, click above to give a substantial gift to help Liberty Counsel win these battles.   Thank you in advance and may God richly bless you!  Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel Joseph, let me encourage you to make a special gift to help cover the growing cost of Liberty Counsel’s extensive litigation work and our ongoing principled stand in defense of our unalienable rights.   Please click here to help advance Liberty Counsel’s vital litigation efforts, including defending the Constitution on Constitution Day 2013:     http://www.libertyaction.org/1310/offer.asp For information on the multi-faceted work in which the Liberty Counsel family of ministries engages – or to make comments – please visit our enterprise website: www.libertycounsel.com +   +  +   +   +   +   +   +   +   +  +  +   +   +   +   +   +   +   + Note: Please do not "reply" directly to this e-mail message.

Highlights from this issue: Journalists blame the intelligence failures surrounding the Bush administration's case against Iraq ten years ago ("Bush's lies," according to Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson) as a key reason why President Obama failed to get support for a move against Syria, with ABC's Terry Moran arguing that Obama is a victim of the "catastrophic calamity" of the mistaken claims about Iraq's weapons program....

Tuesday September 17, 2013 at 5:15 PM EDT MRC Alert Special: Latest Notable Quotables     As a bonus for CyberAlert subscribers, below is the text of the September 16 edition of Notable Quotables, the MRC's bi-weekly compilation of the latest outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes in the liberal media. It was compiled by the MRC's Rich Noyes.     Highlights from this issue: Journalists blame the intelligence failures surrounding the Bush administration's case against Iraq ten years ago ("Bush's lies," according to Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson) as a key reason why President Obama failed to get support for a move against Syria, with ABC's Terry Moran arguing that Obama is a victim of the "catastrophic calamity" of the mistaken claims about Iraq's weapons program.     Meanwhile, CNN's Christiane Amanpour is ready with the new spin, calling the deal orchestrated by Russia's Putin to save Syria from attack an "amazing" success for Obama -- "the threat of force worked" -- even as MSNBCers tarred Republicans who (like many liberals) opposed military action against Syria as "Obama haters." And, in a piece about a CNN documentary about the famous U.S. flag raised above the World Trade Center site after September 11, 2001, a New York Times critic disdains that after 9/11 "flag-waving was sometimes a cousin to intolerance."     To read it online, posted with two videos, each with matching audio, go to: http://www.mrc.org/notable-quotables/blaming-bushs-lies-syria-fiasco-obamas-debacle-actually-amazing-success     Quotes marked with [VIDEO] have an accompanying video file that you can access by visiting the online version.     The three-page, fully-formatted, full-color PDF good for printing:http://www.mrc.org/sites/default/files/documents/Sept162013.pdf ------------------------------ Join us in Washington, D.C. on September 26 to celebrate the Media Research Center's 2013 Annual Gala and DisHonors Awards, where we roast the media for their obnoxious liberal bias. For details and ticket information: http://www.mrc.org/gala-and-dishonors-awards/gala-2013 ------------------------------     Now the quotes featured in the September 16 Notable Quotables, Vol. 26; No. 18: Let's Blame Bush's "Lies" for Obama's Syria Fiasco   Host Al Hunt: "Does the ghost of George W. Bush's Iraq War resolution hang over this Syria debate?"   Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson: "It surely does. You would hope that Bush's lies would keep him awake at 3:00 in the morning, but what they really do is haunt the country....Part of the resistance to doing anything in Syria, punishing this awful behavior, is what happened in Iraq when we were lied to about mushroom clouds and aluminum tubes and mobile weapons labs that didn't exist. Here we have concrete evidence, and people just can't fathom getting mired in another Iraq." — Exchange on Bloomberg's Political Capital, September 6. "Diane, there are two things that you hear a lot in this part of the world [the Middle East]. First, you recognize the catastrophic calamity to American credibility that the claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were. People don't believe this President or this administration when they talk about this attack on August 21, and they want to see and hear real evidence, not the claims of the Secretary of State or even the President." — ABC News chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran during live coverage following Obama's speech, September 10. "I don't want to re-litigate Iraq, but the blunt fact is that some of the questions that were asked —  Congressman [Juan] Vargas [D-CA] asked both [Secretary of State John] Kerry and [Defense Secretary Chuck] Hagel yesterday, ‘Are you lying? Because we were lied to about weapons of mass destruction.' There is such a credibility gap between the White House and Congress, the leftover, the hangover from the Iraq War." — Anchor Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports, September 5. Demands Rumsfeld "Take Responsibility" for Obama's Woes [VIDEO] "Looming over this debate time and time again has been the specter of Iraq. Most recently, the U.K. Parliament, many members, cited the failure of intelligence leading up to Iraq as the reason that they won't take action now in Syria, because they don't trust U.S. intelligence. Do you personally take any responsibility for that? Or feel any responsibility for that?" — Co-host Savannah Guthrie to former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on NBC's Today, September 4. Obama's Syria Debacle Actually an "Amazing" Success "It is an amazing thing what's happened, and I do believe very strongly that it is because finally diplomacy was enacted with the threat, the credible threat, of force behind it. And having talked to many, many people today, they believe that President Obama during the G20 made it very clear to President Putin that this time he was serious and there were going to be military consequences as limited and targeted as he describes. But nonetheless, the threat of force worked." — CNN's Christiane Amanpour on AC360 Later, September 10. "I think it's fair to say that the people at the White House are feeling a lot better tonight about where they are, than where they were two days ago when they faced an almost certain humiliation of having Congress turn down the President's request to use force. They have managed to finesse that, and have even managed to get Bashar al-Assad to say that he does have chemical weapons. He said before he didn't even have them." — Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer during live CBS News coverage in advance of President Obama's speech to the nation on Syria, September 10.  Relax: We'll Bomb from a "Cautious Anti-War Perspective" [VIDEO] "Barack Obama, as you know better than I do, was one of the leading Democratic politicians against the Iraq War. So if he says that this is different, that the evidence is there, that no one's disputing that chemicals were used, and that they have the evidence linking it to the Assad regime, does that persuade you since he has always come at this from a very cautious anti-war perspective?" — Andrea Mitchell interviewing anti-war Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports, August 30. On Syria, Chuck Sees Many More "Rational and Principled" Democrats "To me — and I'm as cynical as anybody when it comes to political motivation — and I think about half of the Republican opposition here is a political opposition, but I think a good 50 percent of it is not. I think about 75 percent of the opposition of the Democratic Party is rational and principled, and maybe about 25 percent of it is politics. I don't think it's as political as you think on this." — NBC News Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, September 8. GOP Must "Hate" Obama More than They Love War "How much of the Republican resistance to this action is rooted in their hatred for this President?...How much of the problem in the Republican caucus with this action is just distaste for the President?" — Co-host Krystal Ball on MSNBC's The Cycle, September 4. "Let me finish with this: I believe that this debate over Syria is offering a road map to the Republican nomination for President next time. The candidate who wishes to be the nominee will be the one who positions himself as directly as possible against President Obama. Why? You know. It's for the simple new definition of the Republican Party: it's the anti-Obama party. The more you hate Obama, the more you are deeply entrenched in the deepest bunker of the GOP." — Chris Matthews wrapping up MSNBC's Hardball, September 4. Tea Party = "Obstinate Brats" Who'll Doom GOP   "Here's a story about a little boy named Pierre, who stars in Maurice Sendak's classic children's tale. Pierre is an obstinate brat who sits backward in his chair, pours syrup on his hair, and screams, ‘I don't care!' at every kindhearted word from his parents. When a lion shows up and asks him if he'd like to die, Pierre ignores the obvious danger and blurts, ‘I don't care!'    "The lion eats him.   "With midterm elections on the horizon, the Republican Party should be hyper-attuned to its weak standing among nonwhites, women, and young people. Instead, its Pierre wing — hard-right purists — insists that the GOP's problem is a shortage of obstinacy....The most visible case is the Tea Party-backed campaign — supported by 17 senators and 77 members of Congress — to shut down the government rather than vote for a budget that funds ObamaCare...." — Fortune's Nina Easton writing in the magazine's September 16 issue. Ex-CNNer Slams "Oligarch" Bloomberg "Let's face it, when it comes to economic matters, he [outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg] is the representative of the oligarchs, and I choose that word on purpose. He is somebody that will come up with all these different rationalizations for the unsavory conduct of the people in his little club, the ‘one percenters' they have been called, or something like that....People who use the term ‘class warfare' are the very people who have conducted a class warfare against everybody but the super rich class." — Ex-CNN correspondent Bob Franken on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, September 8, complaining about Bloomberg's criticism of liberal mayoral candidate Bill De Blasio. Post-9/11 Flag-Waving "Sometimes a Cousin to Intolerance" "The CNN film [The Flag], based on a book by David Friend, focuses on the smudged American flag that three firefighters raised through the dust of the collapsed buildings at ground zero late in the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001. A photograph of the flag raising taken by Thomas E. Franklin of the New Jersey newspaper The Record became a heartening, patriotic symbol for many on an otherwise awful day....[But] the photographer rebelled at efforts to make him a celebrity, and so did the three firefighters. A plan to turn the photograph into a sculpture became a source of controversy. Nationwide, flag-waving was sometimes a cousin to intolerance." — From New York Times critic Neil Genzlinger's September 4 review of CNN's The Flag. Rush Limbaugh = "Racist Troll"   Clip of Rush Limbaugh: "You know, this operation of Bush had ‘shock and awe.' We are looking at ‘shuck and jive' here. That's what I'm going to name this — the Obama operation in Syria, ‘Operation Shuck and Jive,' because that's what this is." Host Al Sharpton: "‘Operation Shuck and Jive.' The inferences, the implication, the outright subtlety of what he's saying which is not so subtle to me. The dog whistling around something as serious as a military engagement...."   Salon's Joan Walsh: "You know, Rush Limbaugh is a racist troll, and he's proud of it. His audience expects this. He's always looking for a new low with this President, and he hit one today." — MSNBC's PoliticsNation, September 9. Sickened by "Degenerate Cowboy" Limbaugh's Book for Kids "Hey kids! Rush Limbaugh wrote a book that's just for you....Um. Oh. Seriously?" "I'm a little sick now." — Pair of tweets posted by CNN anchor Carol Costello, September 5, reacting to a Huffington Post story about Limbaugh's new book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. "[Limbaugh] has never shown any signs of being a serious or thoughtful or earnest guy. He is a degenerate rodeo clown — a toxic provocateur who, while undeniably entertaining for like-minded adults, should be kept as far away from kids as possible. Am I concerned that he's going to start raving about ‘sluts' or ‘feminazis' or slip the lyrics to ‘Barack the Magic Negro' into his kiddie lit? Of course not. But the guy is a proudly offensive adult showman. Having him pen books for kids is a little bit like having Howard Stern come in to lead your preschooler's circle time. It just shouldn't happen." — Newsweek/The Daily Beast's Michelle Cottle, September 10. Piers Takes Aim at Conservative Hosts "An idea @Dloesch @benfergusonshow > you guys stand at the end of a range and I'll get 100 blind people to fire away at targets around you." — September 12 tweet from CNN's Piers Morgan directed at conservative radio hosts Ben Ferguson and Dana Loesch. Sleazy Maher Won't Skip a Chance to Smear the Tea Party "Kudos to Barry for restoring constitution re war powers. Tea People shld luv it but of course wont cuz President Blackenstein did it" — August 31 tweet from HBO Real Time host Bill Maher, talking about Obama's decision to seek congressional authorization for military action against Syria.

Posted by National Director, Dee on September 17, 2013 at 11:13am in Tea Party View Discussions By Larry Klayman On Sept. 11, 2013, a dangerous and viral strain of Muslims invaded Washington, D.C., to march and declare victory over Christians and Jews and to otherwise thumb their noses at everyone who does not believe in allah. While only 30 or so had the "courage" to actually appear on the streets of D.C., having been surrounded by a horde of "Rolling Thunder" Harley Davidson motorcycle riders, and despite the fact that the Muslims secured a permit and the motorcyclists were denied one by Barack Hussein Obama's National Park Service, let us take a lesson from our Islamic "friends." It is time that we Christians, Jews, people of faith and all true patriots say enough is enough and ourselves, in a very real way, "Occupy Washington" to cleanse the nation of the half-Muslim, anti-white, socialist fraud in the White House before the nation goes under for the final count. Having done little to nothing about the growing list of "phony" Obama scandals, ranging from Benghazi-gate, to IRS-gate, to Navy SEAL Team VI-gate, to Fast and Furious-gate, to NSA-gate, to name just a few, it is clear that our elected representatives do not have the will or courage to remove the mullah-in-chief from office. Over the last five years, as we stand on the precipice of calamity by provoking a regional and potential global war with Obama's pro-Islamic desire to intervene to "save" his radical Muslim al-Qaida "freedom fighters" by bombing Syria, it is clear that the time to act is now. Impeachment is not an option, as Republicans, many of whom support Obama in this folly, are content to let this incompetent evil fraud continue in office until at least the run-up to the 2014 congressional elections. This was the same game Republicans played with previous Democratic presidential criminals Bill and Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2000 elections. Not wanting to remove Bill Clinton from office, lest Vice President Al Gore become an incumbent president with all the advantages of potential re-election, Republicans bailed out and refused to both impeach and convict "Slick Willy" of the scandals that really mattered: China-gate, File-gate and Travel-gate. So if the past is a prologue, which it is today even more than it was back in the late 1990s, the Grand Old Party is even more of a neutered, impotent elephant now. read more: http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/klayman/130916
