Accurate News from Honduras

by Leave a Comment

The following comes from a friend of mine living in Honduras. There is a lot of misinformation if you only watch the news. DH’s email helps clear up a lot. Keep my friends and the people of Honduras in your prayers, please.

Hi everyone,

Honduras really needs prayer as the very fabric of democracy in this nation is threatened right now. [Read more…] about Accurate News from Honduras

Dobson says he may endorse McCain (OneNewsNow.com)

Just when I thought Dr. Dobson had gotten all the Kool-Aid out of his system, I read this from ONN:

Conservative Christian leader James Dobson has softened his stance against Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, saying he could reverse his position and endorse the Arizona senator despite serious misgivings. “I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a pre-taped radio broadcast “…While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”

Dobson and other evangelical leaders unimpressed by McCain increasingly are taking a lesser-of-two-evils approach to the 2008 race. Dobson and his guest, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler, spend most of the pretaped Focus on the Family radio program criticizing Democratic candidate Barack Obama, getting to McCain at the very end.

All I can say is Don’t do it, Jim.  You’ll regret it.

For president: None of the above

WND’s Joe Farah, writes here:

But John McCain won’t get any help from me. He won’t get my vote. In fact, to be honest, if the Republican Party is ever going to recover itself and become the party it was under Ronald Reagan, it will happen faster if John McCain is beaten. It will happen faster if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton gets elected and implement the Big Brother, socialist agenda they both endorse.

We’re all going to experience it in the next four years. It’s simply a question of who is going to be force-feeding it to us. I’d rather it come from the Democrats, so the American people know whom to blame.

Bring it on. I’ll do my best to expose it. Maybe the American people will wake up and rediscover the meaning of freedom after tasting elitist, top-down, command-and-control, centralized socialism.
