If one wishes to understand the direction of the nation, one only has to look at the prayers that were offered during the inauguration. The prayers reflected the man who occupies the Oval Office who told the nation, “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers.”

Sunday, January 18 marked the beginning of the U.S. presidential inauguration. Kicking off the ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial was homosexual activist and false minister of the gospel “Vickie” Eugene Robinson, the apostate Episcopalian.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is demanding an explanation from Israel as to why the UN Headquarters in Gaza was shelled by Israeli artillery. Ban told the AP reporter Ibrahim Barzak, “I conveyed my strong protest and outrage to the defense minister and foreign minister and demanded a full explanation.” Barzak, known as a Palestinian propagandist rather than as an unbiased journalist, reported that a UN official speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press said that the U.N. compound in Gaza had only that morning become a makeshift shelter for hundreds of Gaza City residents seeking sanctuary from relentless Israeli shelling.”

It’s a jihad, or holy war, against Israel, says Osama bin Laden in a new video release from some cave somewhere. The issue is not, however, the formulation of a Palestinian state living side by side in peace with Israel. If that were the case, the Palestinians would have made sure that Gaza was a peaceful pristine example instead of raining missiles down on innocent Israeli civilians day in and day out for years.

Three cheers for the loyal opposition. There was, however, none. The senate chamber sat nearly empty at one of the most important hearings in the nation’s history. In fact, at one point, Republican senators occupied one of 12 chairs at the Senate confirmation hearing of soon-to-be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. By the end of the hearing only six senators were present. This is the very image of defeatism and irresponsibility. And that is the reason that America is drowning beneath the wave of socialism and facing an era where freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to pursue life and happiness will be swallowed up by the leviathan of federal government, history’s new handmaiden to the one world order.
