TOPIC: Radical Islam is Our Sworn Enemy; Why Doesn't Our Government See That Fact?

Article from ChristiansUnite.com

Colonel David Hunt told Fox News last week that our soldiers could have killed Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in 2005. However, they were stopped from taking any action by then Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld.
What were the reasons for this insane decision? We are told that it was to protect the fragile democracy of President Musharraf in Pakistan and to further President Bush's goal of establishing democracies. When will we realize these people do not want a democracy, they want a government controlled by Radical Islam?
Apparently President Bush thinks by insisting upon giving them a democratic form of government they will accept it. What President Bush doesn't seem to realize is that these people are not our friends, they are our sworn enemies. Why don't we understand that Radical Islam is the greatest threat America has ever faced since World War II? Why don't we understand the words of Jihad being spoken nearly every day by Iran's President Ahmadinejad? Why don't we realize that Radical Islam teaches its followers to lie to non-believers?
Don Swarthout, President of Christians Reviving America's Values (CRAVE) said, "The real question is, Why doesn't America realize these Radical Islamic countries are our sworn enemies and that we must be defeat them by a show of force? Force is the only thing they understand." Swarthout said, "America has to wake up very soon to the real threat these people pose to our nation. Our leaders talk about the amount of chatter heard today like it is nothing. They had better wake up to the fact that Al Qaeda and Radical Islam are very real threats to us." Swarthout concluded, "We have become so politically correct that we have lost track of how America should act. Those who teach tolerance are really teaching us not to express our true opinions. Whatever happened to our freedom of speech everyone is always hollering about? Where is the value in not saying anything when you strongly disagree with something?"

CRAVE is contacting our Senators and Congressman to ask who is keeping a watchful eye on all of the Radical Islamic groups. We strongly suggest that our readers do the same. You may call 202/225-3121 and they will connect you to your Congressman and Senator's offices in Washington D.C.

TOPIC: 56th National Day of Prayer
This year’s National Day of Prayer will be celebrated May 3rd.

From Shirley Dobson, NDP Chairman:
On Thursday, May 3rd, all across our nation in church events and public venues from coast to coast, hearts and hands will be joined together for the 56th Annual National Day of Prayer. This year’s theme, “America, Unite in Prayer,” comes from the promise the Lord gave us in II Chronicles 7:14:

“If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

We hope this message will not only serve as a catalyst to encourage God’s people to take prayer for our nation seriously, but that it will draw believers closer together as they intercede corporately on behalf of our country. I truly believe God is calling His people to be faithful for such a time as this. If you would like more information on how you might unite with your fellow citizens to intercede on behalf of this great nation, I invite you to visit our Web site at www.nationaldayofprayer.org.

Hear the Prayer for NDP 2007 from Honorary Chairman Chuck Swindoll. Watch a video message from Dr. Swindoll. For further reading: What Makes Prayer Work? Read the NDOP proclamation signed by President George W. Bush.

TOPIC: John Kerry Apologizes - FINALLY!
After ranting and raving, posturing and pontificating, John Kerry has finally apologized for his insulting remark towards American forces "stuck in Iraq".
His brief statement said, in part, "I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform and I personally apologize to any service member, family member or American who was offended.''
I sincerely hope that voters will remember this incident, along with the vicious rants by liberals; directed towards our President, our armed forces and the current administration.
