What
is happening when Christians,
and even renewed ones at that,
would go for openly pro-abortion
candidates? What is happening
when Catholics, and those who
claim to be faithful ones, are
for pro-abortion candidates?
What is happening when faithful
members of CFC-FFL, supposedly
for family and life, are for
pro-abortion candidates? How
can such evil be tolerated,
even accepted, even embraced,
by such Christians, Catholics,
CFC-FFLs?
The
current US elections for President
and Vice-President is not just
about politics, or economics,
or women's rights. It is about
right and wrong, about goodness
and evil, about light and darkness.
For Christians, it is about
being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I
pray that all our brethren would
see clearly as to the spiritual
warfare that is happening in
the USA and in the whole world.
For Catholics, follow the clear
teaching of the Church. For
CFC-FFL, follow our clear call--renewing
the family and defending life.
God
bless.

Prominent
Orthodox Rabbi Extols Gov. Palin
By
Kathleen Gilbert
September
17, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- In response to recent claims
that Gov. Sarah Palin's strong
religious views may be "a
cause of concern" for the
Jewish community, noted Rabbi
Yehuda Levin has issued high
praise for Palin, saying that
anti-Semitic claims could not
be farther from the truth for
"this
phenomenal woman," whom
he calls "a gift from God"
to America.
"Sarah
Palin's caring about the security
of the residents of Israel is
certainly important to Jews,"
said Levin, "but to American
citizens, Jews and non-Jews,
her
domestic policy of morality,
decency, family values, fairness
in education where parents have
a choice of how and where to
educate their children, all
of this is great."
Rabbi Levin, who usually represents
the Union of Orthodox Rabbis
and the Rabbinical Alliance
of America, says he has issued
his video response simply as
a Jewish U.S. citizen.
Levin
blames liberal Jewish news media
for stoking irrelevant fears
about Palin. For example, Levin
cites the words of former New
York City mayor and pro-homosexual
Ed Koch, who said "Governor
Palin scares the hell out of
him."
If
by "hell" Koch is
referring to his zealous homosexual
activism, which Levin says is
"from a Torah Biblical
perspective a hellish agenda,"
then, Levin concludes, "It's
a good thing to scare that hell
out of Koch."
Levin
goes on to blast the recent
media claim that Gov. Palin's
pastor had "anti-Semitic"
fidelities, which claim has
been invoked by some to suggest
that Palin's own fidelity to
her Christian beliefs poses
a threat to the Jewish community.
Palin's pastor Larry Kroon had
invited David Brickner, the
executive director of Jews for
Jesus, to speak at Palin's parish.
Many Jews consider Jews for
Jesus a threat to the integrity
of the Jewish community because
of their proselytizing efforts.
But
Levin, who is himself hotly
opposed to Jews for Jesus, nonetheless
criticized those who consider
Palin's association comparable
to the relationship of Sen.
Obama to the extremism espoused
by his notoriously radical pastor,
Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
In
a separate video, Levin states,
"We don't expect Sarah
Palin sitting in an audience
where her pastor brought on
David Brickner - that she has
to know our Jewish theology
and she has to get out, or stomp
out, or make some sort of protest.
To compare that to Obama sitting
by Pastor Wright for twenty
years, and all the things he
said, is really ridiculous,
and it's just a sign of how
desperate the liberals are because
of the amazing success of the
Palin phenomenon."
In
reality, says Levin, the addition
of Sarah Palin to the presidential
ticket is good news for the
pious Jewish community, saying
that Sen. McCain's choice of
a running mate "was certainly
a gift from God," and comparing
Palin's courageous stand for
life to that of the holy women
in the Bible.
"This
phenomenal woman, pro-life,
pro-normal marriage ... a woman's
woman, somewhat of a reflection
of the Jewish midwives in the
book of Exodus, who stood up
to the evil Pharaoh, and despite
his anti-baby decree, they kept
the babies alive.
"You
go, Governor Palin! Keep championing
a
Godly agenda of a return to
millennia-old standards of decency."

"For
to me life is Christ, and death
is gain." (Phil 1:21)
