Group sues over order to stop feeding the homeless at Doheny State Beach - Los …: May 9, 6:21pm 1 review hunger, homeless •http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-...; From the page: "Members of a charity group threatened with arrest while trying to feed homeless people at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point have filed a federal lawsuit against state parks officials, claiming interference with their constitutional rights.

The faith-based organization Welcome INN provided meals in the park's picnic area on two consecutive evenings in February without incident, according to the legal complaint filed this week by attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union.

On the third night, a park ranger blocked volunteers from unloading food from their cars, telling the group it was engaging in "unlawful assembly," and threatening citation and arrest, the complaint states."

The Christian Century: May 9, 8:07am 1 review christianity •http://www.christiancentury.org/artic...; From the page: "What happens to a person when the Holy Spirit suddenly descends like a tongue of fire? The first clue we have is in Acts, where the Spirit came and what seemed empty was suddenly and surprisingly full. "The entire house in which they were" was filled with a noise like a driving wind, and those present "were all filled with the Holy Spirit." When the Spirit arrives, fullness is the order of the day."

Thirst Quencher (Jn. 7: 37-39, Acts 2:1-21, Ps, 104:24-34,35b): May 9, 8:06am 1 review christianity •http://www.religion-online.org/showar...; From the page: "At this writing, people are thirsty inside the Palestinian Authority compound in Ramallah. Theyā€re thirsty, too, in Bethlehem, where monks and nuns and men with guns are barricaded together in the Church of the Nativity. Thirsty too in the cities and towns of Israel, where people long to drink a cup of security instead of the bitter dregs of terror. If only, as in the post-resurrection appearances, Jesus would pass through the walls dividing the Palestinians and the Israelis and speak again the resurrection greeting: Peace be with you."

FBI withdraws digital librarys national security letter - Forbes.com: May 8, 6:33am 1 review terroism, constitutional-rights •http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/0...; From the page: "A nonprofit digital library has successfully fought an FBI attempt to seize information about one of its users, and is calling on other groups to challenge government agencies attempting to obtain online customer information without a judge's order."

The FBI thinks that it can do anything it wants to in the name of national security. This is nuts.

May 8, 5:58am: Controversy is never a good thing for a political campaign. It generates uncertainty and scares off voters. The American voter wants to hear soothing words from their politicians. They want to be told that they are doing a good job waving that flag and eating apple pie. Controversy rocks the boat. It raises red flags. The politician who generates controversy better have an enemy to blame for its cause. President Bush masterfully used Saddam Hussein. What an easy target. Bush presented the Iraqi leader as a threatening power and was reelected. The American public did not care if Bush misrepresented and distorted the facts. They were not even upset over his outright lies. They wanted to believe that Saddam could not be trusted and only George Bush and not that so-called decorated Vietnam veteran could save them.

Barack Obama's presidential campaign is awash in controversy and it will not help him get reelected. Unlike W's controversy, Obama did choose the topic for his campaign. He also does not have a convenient enemy to blame. Obama's controversy was generated by his former pastor the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright who called on God to damn America. Those are highly inflammatory words especially from a preacher. Pastors are suppose to ask for God's blessings. Pastors are suppose to offer words of hope. Pastors are suppose to comfort the people not incite animosity and a backlash of negativity.

Pastor Jeremiah Wright follows in his namesake, the prophet Jeremiah. The OT prophet brought a very controversial message to the nation of Israel. He told them that God was using the Babylonians to bring judgment against them. The people did not believe Jeremiah and paid the consequences. The subsequent conquest and exile was ugly.

Wright is closer to the truth about America than white Americans wants to admit. Since the end of World War II, the US has initiated intentional acts of violence to destabilize other political regimes in the name of national security. Those covert military operations were nothing short of terrorism. However, they were against atheistic commies so we justified them because God was on our side. Pastor Wright like the prophet Jeremiah is raising the possibility that America is no longer on God's side. Granted, he has done so with the most inflammatory rhetoric possible. We may find that rhetoric offensive but we should consider its message.

We may not agree with everything he says but we should still consider his message even with his offensive style. The US has a history of supporting governments that terroize its enemies. Our military has violated the Geneva convention with the support of the President in its treatment of enemy prisoners of war. We continue to allow corporations to maximize profits at the expense of the poor. Black men and women are still far more likely to be victims of hate crimes than whites. We may not like the message but in a neutral court of law, we would be found guilty as charged. The book of Jeremiah and the Old Testament prophets has more material that denounces the political practices and policies of this country.

Before the capital city was destroyed, Jeremiah spent some time in prison for preaching the truth. Pastor Jeremiah Wright will not spend time in prison but he has been branded as dangerous, and un-American. He has caused many voters to mistrust Barack Obama. That is too bad because his message, as uncomfortable as it is needs to be heard.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/05/AR2008050502064.…: May 6, 6:39pm 1 review politics, hunger, farming •http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/...; From the page: We are puzzled that Congress wants to increase overall farm bill spending by billions of dollars yet reduce by more than 90 percent the mandatory funding to feed hungry children. The program at issue saves lives and has a proven ability to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness in poor countries.

(I never thought that I would see George Mcgovern and Bob Dole co-sponsor a congressional bill. Clinton and Bush even support this one.

All About Pride: The Kanye Dilemma: May 6, 8:15am 1 review christianity •http://www.nationalpost.com/arts/stor...; Interesting articles on the 7 deadly sins. They include a counter -argument from the secular community to justify the attitude that the theologian would call sinful.
