ANN ARBOR, MI – In an unprecedented and astonishing development, the City of Dearborn, through its mayor and its official website, has personally attacked the four Christian missionaries arrested at the annual Arab International Festival on June 18, 2010. The Mayor’s intrusion into the case destroyed whatever semblance remained of an unbiased and professional law enforcement action following the illegal seizure of video cameras to prevent recording of the events surrounding the arrests.
One of the Christian missionaries, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, MD, tore apart the mayor’s five page statement attacking the missionaries. “Oh Really, Mayor O’Reilly?” [Click here to see video]
Dr. Qureshi was engaged in a peaceful dialogue with several Muslim youths. The other three missionaries were merely videotaping the conversation when the Dearborn police moved in, seized the cameras, and then made the arrests.
The four Christian missionaries were arraigned on criminal charges on Monday morning, July 12, in Dearborn’s 19th Judicial District Court. The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan is representing all of the Christian missionaries.

Louisiana AIP Affiliates Endorse Candidate Kristian Magar for LA 3rd District, US Congress

America's Independent Party of Louisiana
July 14, 2010
To the People of Louisiana,
America's Independent Party Affiliates in Louisiana enthusiastically endorse the 2010 candidacy of Kristian Magar for the United States House of Representatives for the People of our beautiful 3rd District in the State of Louisiana!
Kristian believes, as does our party, that the source of our claim to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” is our Creator, God, as stated in the Declaration of Independence and that the rights in our Constitution depend upon those same unalienable rights. Kristian also has the moral vision to recognize that with these rights we have a duty to protect and fight for them if we are to keep them alive and “secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity” as stated in the Preamble of the Constitution. Kristian, a devoted family man and hard working, successful oilfield business manager, heard the call to defend his country and is answering that call. As he states, he “is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, social and fiscal conservative candidate” and “not a career politician”.
Kristian understands the importance of the freedoms our Constitution gives, such as religious freedom and the right to bear arms. He understands that borders must be protected and our country defended. Kristian has served in the Louisiana Army National Guard where he became an officer and obtained an education in Army values, discipline, and leadership. He understands and has seen firsthand, while working abroad, that a socialized medical system is vastly inferior to what we have enjoyed in the US. He is strongly against any private industry becoming "nationalized".
Kristian believes that the most fundamental of our unalienable God-given rights is the right to Life, and that our government has failed in protecting this right for the millions of innocent children aborted in this country. He realizes the national scandal of legalized abortion and as he states, “we must honor God’s law if we seek his blessing” and that “government’s one true purpose … defined in the Declaration of Independence ... is simply to protect our rights”.
On party status, as stated on his website, "Kristian is running in the Republican primary, but he is an independent thinker who wants voters to evaluate his candidacy based on his positions on the issues as well as his principles and values." Kristian has affiliated with the AIP party. AIP endorses candidates based on principle, not on party.
On the coastal protection and restoration issue, Kristian has listened to State Representatives from the district and a levee board official and has developed a keen insight on the problem. As stated on his web site, “I do not believe that we should have to ask the federal government for permission to protect our coastline. As your representative I will work to remove the barriers of federal bureaucracy that hinders the swift development of coastal restoration projects.”
You can learn more about Kristian and his campaign at: http://www.kristianmagar.com/index.php.
For these reasons, and many more, we urge all Louisianians to lend their prayers, time, energy, financial resources, and VOTES to Kristian Magar and his campaign. Do your state, our nation, and our posterity a huge favor by doing your civic duty to help elect Kristian Magar as your US District 3 Representative.

Marriage, the Family, and Private Property: The Natural, Essential Basis for Our Civilization
LifeandLibertyReport.com
July 14, 2010
Tom Hoefling
"As long as Property exists, it will accumulate in Individuals and Families. As long as Marriage exists, Knowledge, Property and Influence will accumulate in Families." --John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, 1814
The natural family is the foundation of our civilization, with the God-given institution of marriage as its cornerstone. Take away those indispensable building blocks and the whole edifice falls down. Instead of civilization you’re left with an immoral, unorganized, unmotivated, unproductive, selfish, impoverished, starving, shivering, mob.
That’s why America’s founders stated as their ultimate purpose “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” That’s what our Constitution is all about. It’s the purpose of government. It’s what every individual who takes the oath of office, at every level and in every branch, swears to uphold and defend.
Conservatives sometimes mock the Left for their incessant mantra of “it’s for the children.” For very good reasons, of course. The Left is obviously not sincere. Their refrain is quite evidently phony, because the destructive socialist policies they push actually harm the children, the family, marriage, and the free economics of the household.
But, just because there are counterfeits that doesn’t mean there is not the real thing as well.
Everything we do really should be for the children, and our children’s children. In the earthly sense, when all is said and done, it’s all that really matters.
But in America today we have a political class that is trying with all its might to do the exact opposite. They are steadily chipping away at that foundation. By attacking the institution of marriage they are undermining the basis for our society, our form of government, our liberty, and our economy. And, through their support for the mass murder of thousands of children every day in the abortuaries, they’re even destroying Posterity itself.
We must drive any who will not keep their oaths to defend the unalienable right to life of every innocent person, from the moment of their creation, out of public office, at every level and in every branch.
We must utterly reject any politician who refuses to support and defend marriage and the natural family, or to tries to redefine it into something it has never been, nor can be in the natural order of things.
We must attack and eliminate every government policy that has any detrimental effect on the free exercise of the economy of the household and of private property.
Secure the foundations and most everything else will be easy, comparatively-speaking.
Or, as a people, we will have to face the dire implications of the unanswered scriptural question:
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
Go read Psalm 11, from which that verse is drawn. It’s as timely as today’s news.
And therein you will find the only answer for the salvation and survival of the country we love, the source of our national motto:
“In the LORD put I my trust…”

NAACP: "Hardcore White Supremacists" Behind Tea Party

America's Independent Tea Party Activists
Monday, July 12, 2010
Kristinn Taylor
The National Association for the Advancement for Colored People (NAACP) is accusing the Tea Party movement of being led by "hardcore white supremacists." The charge is made in an anti-Tea Party resolution to be voted on at the group's annual convention being held in Kansas City this week.
The Los Angeles Times reported on the incendiary race-baiting rhetoric being used by the NAACP to stoke racial tensions ahead of the November elections:
The NAACP is expected to approve a resolution at its annual convention condemning the "tea party" movement for harboring "racist elements that are a threat to our democracy," a spokeswoman for the civil rights organization said Monday.
The proposed resolution states that the "movement is not just about higher taxes and limited government but something that could evolve and become more dangerous," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell said. Delegates gathering in Kansas City, Mo., will consider the resolution as early as Tuesday.
...The proposed resolution asserts that "hardcore white supremacist organizations have participated in and occasionally lead tea party rallies." McDowell said the statement was based on academic research on the tea party movement and referred to a faction within the larger movement.
The Kansas City Star first reported on the proposed resolution last night.
Other parts of the resolution accuse the Tea Party movement of racism for criticizing Barack Obama and other politicans:
•Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and [Alleged] President Barack Obama specifically.”
•Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.
Two months ago, the NAACP verbally attacked Kenneth Gladney, a Black man assaulted by unions goons at a Tea Party protest in Missouri last year, as an "Uncle Tom."
Gateway Pundit reported on the racist NAACP comments:
Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissedote to on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.
The NAACP resolution being launched at the Tea Party comes just after the formation of the One Nation coalition of 170 leftist groups which includes the NAACP and other racist organizations like the National Council of La Raza.
The groups are banding together ahead of the November elections in an effort to thwart a perceived rout of the Democratic party and the leftist Obama agenda at the polls. With Blacks being the only major voter demographic holding strong for Obama with over ninety percent support, the left sees it as imperative to race-bait Blacks so they will turn out to vote in numbers like they did two years ago for Obama.
Otherwise, with support from the rest of the nation for Obama in the high 30s and many Black voters consigned to gerrymandered districts that favor Democrats, the left faces a historic defeat four months from now.-----

North Carolina Speaker Bans Prayer "In Jesus Name"

America's Independent Party of North Carolina
By Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt
July 11, 2010
Speaker Joe Hackney of the North Carolina State House has banned the word "Jesus" as illegal speech during public prayers offered by volunteer pastors before legislative meetings.
I just spoke personally with my friend Pastor Ron Baity, who confirmed a Fox News Report entitled "Pastor Yanked from Capitol Over 'Jesus' Prayer" which reports the Pastor was relieved of his duties as an honorary chaplain of the state house of representatives after he closed a prayer by invoking the name of Jesus.
"I got fired," said Ron Baity, pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. He had been invited to lead prayer for an entire week but his tenure was cut short when he refused to remove the name Jesus from his invocation.
Baity’s troubles began during the week of May 31. He said a House clerk asked to see his prayer. The invocation including prayers for our military, state lawmakers and a petition to God asking him to bless North Carolina.
"When I handed it to the lady, I watched her eyes and they immediately went right to the bottom of the page and the word Jesus," he told FOX News Radio. "She said 'We would prefer that you not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended.'"
When Baity protested that he himself would be offended if the government ordered him to deny Christ, she brought the matter to the attention of House Speaker Joe Hackney personally.
Speaker Hackney then decided Pastor Baity to disinvite Pastor Baity, that he could pray that day only, but would not be allowed to pray again in the future, and the pastor's services were terminated for the remainder of the week, because he prayed "in Jesus' Name."
