34 Women Killed, More Than 370 Wounded In Un-Biblical, Un-Constitutional, Unnecessary War Against Iraq “There’s no way to spin it: Allowing women to get shot to death, or blown up, or mutilated and disfigured in war — particularly in a voluntary war — is horrible. It’s unnecessary. It’s barbaric. And it is virtually without historical precedent. Until now, societies have not done it. Even the most primitive cultures don’t send mothers off to battle. But suddenly, with almost no public debate, we do. 04/29/06
On The Road: I Speak To The Ohio CP State Convention; Attend CP Meeting In Tampa, Florida The purpose of the Ohio C.P. – a solidly Christian Party — is, as they say: “To honor God and restore Constitutional government. We want to restore government to state and local control by shrinking the federal bureaucracy down to Constitutional size. We want to protect private property, privatize education, repeal all laws which infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms, cut state and federal spending drastically, restore state and national sovereignty, abolish the income tax, and safeguard American jobs by withdrawing from NAFTA and GATT!” 04/29/06
William Kristol Wonders (Seriously) What Harm Illegal Aliens Have Done When They Have Murdered Scores Of Americans Sixty-four Border Patrol agents have been assaulted in the past three months along a 260-mile stretch of the Arizona-Mexico border — the country’s busiest illegal entry point — as the U.S. government continues its fight for “operational control” of the region. As law-enforcement efforts have increased, so have the incidents of violence and the intensity of the attacks on the agents in the stretch known as the Tucson sector — which are averaging one assault every two days and are on pace to increase this year by 80 percent. 04/19/06
For Umpteenth Time Christian “Leaders” Hold Gripe Session Complaining That Republicans Ignore Their Issues For at least a quarter-of-a-century one foolish thing many so-called Christian/conservative “leaders” and their organizations have been doing is working enthusiastically for the election of a Republican President and Congress. Then, when Republicans are elected, they gripe about how the GOP is ignoring their issues. 04/14/06
Terri Schiavo To, Again, Be Murdered At Upcoming U. Of Pennsylvania Symposium Again, the purpose of the symposium is to take us to the next level of discussion about the socially-relevant issues related to end-of-life care in America today. To that end, the symposium is designed specifically as a forum to permit the expression of voices that have heretofore been relatively silent on these critically-important issues. Dr. Caplan’s opinions on the Terri Schiavo case have been well-reported in all major media outlets. 04/13/06
Far-Left Katie Couric Move To CBS, “60 Minutes” Bad News For Christians And Conservatives Couric is hostile to anything remotely resembling Christianity. An example of this particular animus is a recent appearance on the “Today” show of Thomas Monaghan and Paul Marinelli. Monaghan is a Roman Catholic who is the founder of Domino’s Pizza. Marinelli is president and CEO of Barron Collier Companies, the developers of Ave Maria University in Florida. 04/07/06
Judicial Tyranny Unlikely To Be Stopped As Long As Myth That Courts Make Law Is Believed Michael Anthony Peroutka’s “Courts Do Not Make Law” is, arguably, the most important article that has run on our Web page. If Christian/conservatives do not understand, believe and act on what he has written, there is very little hope that judicial tyranny in American can be stopped. Just how prevalent the myth that courts make law is was brought home to me in a recent interview I did with Rep. Roger Hunt, a conservative, Republican South Dakota State Legislator who strongly supports that State’s recently enacted ban on abortion. Here’s the way our conversation went: 04/03/06
Exclusive Interview: Terri Schiavo’s Brother Replies To Michael Schiavo’s Lies Which Continue To Murder Terri Attempted for many years, the murder of Terri Schiavo actually occurred on March 31, 2005, when she died - starved to death — following a court-ordered cut-off of her food and water which she was getting through a feeding tube. On NBC’s “Dateline” program recently, Terri’s ex-husband, Michael Schiavo, one of the murderers, was interviewed by NBC “Today” show co-host, Matt Lauer who did a good job pressing him on some important points. To respond to some of what Michael Schiavo said in this NBC interview, I interviewed Terri’s brother Bobby Schindler. I first played the audio of some of what Michael Schiavo said; then Bobby replied. Here’s our interview. 03/31/06
In New Book By Gingrich He Says God Rules But Does He Really Believe This? A: And therefore I think you come down to a core question of faith. Q: Yes. A: But, there’s also no requirement that that then leads directly to public policy you just described. Q: Well, my thinking was something like that if people are homosexuals, that tells us something about their character and we care about the character — A: I don’t agree with that. Q: Oh, I see. Why do you think God calls it an abomination if it says nothing about their character? A: I think there are many good and kind and decent people who may also be homosexuals. Q: Really? A: Yes. Q: My goodness. 03/30/06
A Truly Christian College Would Teach Biblical Defense Of The Faith Not “Debate” As A Game And what is one to make of O’Donnell’s statement that it would be “very hard” for him to work for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani? It would be just “very hard” for him to do this? That’s all? Just “very hard?” Why not impossible since Giuliani is not just “pro-choice” – which is bad enough. He is also for the legalization of partial-birth abortion, which is infanticide. He is for homosexual “rights.” And his wife divorced him because he committed adultery. 03/24/06
Missouri Rep. Sater Correct: America Founded By Christians As Christian Nation — And A Supreme Court Justice Once Agreed It’s truly astounding how simply telling the truth, and saying our country was founded by Bible-believing Christians, can be so “controversial” even among some who say they are Christians. And the realization that our country was indeed founded as a Christian nation must begin with the understanding that our founding began 150 or so years before the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. This is well-documented in writing by a former Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, David J. Brewer, titled “the United States As A Christian Nation” (John C. Winston Co.,, 1905). As Brewer notes: 03/17/06
A Cautionary Tale For Kristi Yamaoka And Jay Sekulow: Cheerleading Can Be Hazardous To Your Health Why did she keep on cheering when she was being carried out on a stretcher? She says: “Oh, well, for the most part it just—as soon as I heard the fight song playing, and as a cheerleader every time we hear that fight song playing we’re supposed to be dancing and cheering, and trying to get the crowd going, so I’m still a cheerleader, on a stretcher or not, so as soon as I heard that fight song I knew my job and I just started doing my thing.” 03/13/06
Head Of South Dakota Planned Parenthood Abortion Death Chamber Clueless Re: True View Of American Government The South Dakota Legislature – God bless them – has passed a law banning almost all abortions. And Kate Looby, head of the only Planned Parenthood abortion death chamber in that state, is, of course, outraged. I saw her on ABC’s “World News Tonight” (2/24/06) saying: “I’m always shocked that the South Dakota legislature is willing to defy the United States Supreme Court and to defy the United States Constitution.” 03/04/06
Attn: Judge Murdock: Your Church Says “All Catholics Are Obliged To Oppose The Legal Recognition Of Homosexual Unions” Sometimes I wonder if anybody’s religion means anything to them. I’m thinking specifically about Maryland Judge M. Brooke Murdock — a Roman Catholic — who has ruled in favor of homosexual “marriage.” Bush Supreme Court nominees John Roberts and Samuel Alito — both Roman Catholics — also repudiated their faith by saying it would have nothing to do with their judging. 03/01/06
Michael Moore Attacks Me As Liar But, Not Surprisingly, It Is Moore Who, Once Again, Is Not Being Honest I saw another one of these lunatics, this time on MSNBC. A guy named John Lofton. He went on and on about how my movie is all made up. The anchor on MSNBC never challenged him on his lies and never told the viewers who he really was – a right wing crazy who believes Bush is too liberal. He was once an advisor to Pat Buchanan’s Presidential campaign, and was a direct-mail writer for Jesse Helms. 02/28/06
Pro-Homosexual, Anti-Christian Judge Should Be Impeached Because She Ignores God And Mocks His Law Murdock: “This Court holds that Maryland’s statutory prohibition against same-sex marriage cannot withstand this constitutional challenge…because it discriminates, based on gender against a suspect class; and is not narrowly tailored to serve any compelling governmental interests.” 02/25/06
The Hon. Robert Duckworth True Profile In Christian Courage Who Takes His Oath Seriously, Opposes Homosexual “Marriage” I’m on the horns of a dilemma. The people are on the horns of a dilemma too because the have to wait until 2008 because the General Assembly lacked the spine to put it on the ballot this year and deal with it now. And rather than hibernate — leadership means just what it says: you have to lead especially on profound issues like this and if you don’t you must step down and if you don’t step down you get voted out. 02/24/06
Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore Calls On President Bush To Defend Religious Freedom of Military Chaplains I call upon you, as our President and Commander-in-Chief, to exercise that constitutional authority given you over our military forces to stop this unwarranted and unlawful attack on military chaplains. As we lead the world in our quest for freedom and liberty, we can ill afford to deny that freedom to valiant military chaplains dedicated to the service of our Country and the God upon Whom that Country was founded. 02/21/06
Bush Says No To Women In Land Combat; Yes To Women Flying Fighters, Choppers The Pentagon will miss Congress’ March 31 deadline for certifying that the Army’s reorganization of war-fighting brigades is abiding by its rule that women not serve in direct land combat or in support units that embed in those units, according to an internal memo. 02/21/06
Feminist Movement Betty Friedan Led Has Its Roots In The Occult, Necromancy, Demonic Spiritualism The “womens’ rights”/feminist/”pro-choice” movement began, of course, in disobedience to God in the Garden of Eden. But in her revealing book “Radical Spirits: Spiritualism And Women’s Rights In Nineteenth-Century America”(Beacon Press, 1989), Ann Brauden, an assistant professor of religion at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, documents the connection between this movement, in modern times, and the occult. 02/21/06
State-Of-Union Talk Shows State-Of-Bush Is That He Has No Idea True View Of American Law, Government Before President Bush’s State of the Union talk, the Republican National Committee suggested holding parties to hear this talk. But if you care about Biblical, Constitutional government, this address was nothing to celebrate. In fact, Mr. Bush’s State of the Union address revealed much more about his own state of mind and thinking rather than anything objectively true about our country. He said: “The only way to protect our people, the only way to secure the peace, the only way to control our destiny is by our leadership — so the United States of America will continue to lead.” 02/21/06
Bush v. Bush Q: Do you really think we can win this war on terror?…. 02/20/06
Sponsor Of Dobson-Backed Bill Admits It’s A “Compromise” That “Helps,” Among Others, Homosexuals Get Special Benefits Colorado State Senator Shawn Mitchell is the sponsor of SB 166 the bill Dr. Dobson has endorsed which gives special benefits to, among others, homosexuals living together. In the following interview, Mitchell tries hard to deny that his bill does what it does. And he tries hard not to say anything that would contradict what Dobson has said about this bill. Be that as it may, here’s the interview. You decide if he successfully obfuscated the issue. I don’t think he did. But, you tell us, please, what you think in our “Forum.” 02/20/06
Dr. Dobson — Regardless Of What He Thinks He Has Done — Has Endorsed Special Benefits For Homosexuals Living Together But, before I get to what it was that made Dr. Dobson so angry, I want to say that there is no doubt in my mind that he sincerely believes that he did not do what he did. But, he did do what he thinks he did not do. 02/20/06
Current Lobbyist Scandal In Washington Bitter Fruit Of Un-Biblical, Un-Constitutional Federal Government Well, surprise! Surprise! There’s a huge lobbying/bribery scandal in Washington DC involving super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff who, in our Nation’s capital, is now the focus of all evil in the universe. But, who could have predicted this? Who could have possibly predicted that if, over decades, you put out a gigantic trough full of trillions of dollars (the Federal budget) and all kinds of un-Biblical, un-Constitutional programs, that some of the thousands of pig-lobbyists would try to get some of this dough and power by any means necessary? 01/27/06
The Dumbest Questions Asked Of Alito? Leahy? Kohl? Biden? Finally, and by finally I do not mean this is an exhaustive and comprehensive list of Dumb Questions asked, there is the insufferable and egregious Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.). During one day of questioning, around the Noon hour, Biden prefaced his remarks by saying to Alito: “I understand, Judge, I am the only one standing between you and lunch. So I’ll try to make this painless.” 01/27/06
Teddy Kennedy Last Man On Earth Qualified To Question Ethics, Integrity Of Judicial Nominees There may be a more disgusting, nauseating spectacle than Teddy Kennedy sitting in judgment on a Supreme Court nominee’s ethics and integrity, but I’m not sure what this might be. But, there he was on national TV, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking his questions and making his points with all the skills of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Kennedy among other things: 01/25/06
Dumb Dogs, GOP Cheerleaders And Godless Judges: “Christian” Groups Lie Down, Slumber, Ignore Alito’s Pro-Abortion Record To their everlasting shame, supposedly Christian/conservative leaders, pro-life Senators, commentators and publications have failed miserably to tell the truth about Judge Samuel Alito’s pro-abortion voting record as a judge and what he said in his Senate confirmation testimony. 01/25/06
The Nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court: Jerry Falwell Didn’t Do His Homework Talk-show host John Lofton, who calls himself a “Recovering Republican,” came prepared for today’s conference call about this weekend’s “Justice Sunday III” event that will promote Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. 01/25/06
Deep, Deep, Deep Denial: ‘San Diego Tribune’ Cartoonist Sees Alito As Pro-Life — Because Bush Named Him! JL: Even allowing for artistic license and editorial cartoon exaggeration and caricature, your cartoon is ridiculous. Alito is not pro-life. He has voted pro-abortion several times as a lower court judge; he voted to uphold partial birth abortion, and a couple of other times he ruled to uphold Roe v. Wade. Where in the world did you get the idea he was pro-life? 01/25/06
‘Ginsburg Precedent’ Argument Proved That Senate GOP Truly Brain-Dead Re: Importance Of Supreme Court Nominees A recent example of what I’m talking about occurred on the “Fox News Sunday” TV show. Two of the guests were California Democrat Diane Feinstein and South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Unlike the supposedly conservative, pro-life Graham, Feinstein stood firm and defended her pro-death, pro-abortion view. 01/24/06

John Lofton on C-SPAN: A Transcript The following is a slightly edited transcript of a discussion that too place on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” December 24, 2005. 12/24/05
“The War on Christmas”: Secularist O’Reilly Poses As Defender Of The Faith But He Is Not So, to be certain we win the “war on Christmas” next year far earlier, here’s what I’m demanding for next year.
His Sowship He came to the English throne with great ease….He took a month to come from Edinburgh to London; and, by way of exercising his new power, hanged a pickpocket on the journey without any trial, and knighted everybody he could lay hold of. He made two hundred knights before he got to his palace in London, and seven hundred before he had been in it three months. He also shoveled sixty-two new peers into the House of Lords—and there was a pretty large sprinkling of Scotchmen among them, you may believe.
New Orleans Mayor Finally Gets One Right (God Is Angry With America) – Then He Apologizes And Takes It Back! Poor Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans. He finally gets one right – then he takes it back! In a recent press conference, he said: “Surely God is mad at America. He’s sending hurricane after hurricane after hurricane. And it’s destroying and putting stress on this country.” But, almost immediately, he apologized saying he was wrong to have said this.
