Cindy Sheehan is giving up the fight. She is backing away from the anti-war movement. The cause? Her discouragement over Dems turning against her when she started attacking them for not stopping the war. Read about it here.
Sheehan sees the USA as "a fascist corporate wasteland". It's so sad that she feels that way.
It's hard for me to get my head around that sentiment.

Bush Out Polls Congress
The Dem led Congress was supposed to be the change that Americans wanted, but new polling indicates otherwise. President Bush actually had a higher rating, 33 to 29 percent. Read about it here.

Spying on Global Warming
Dems just can't give it up. Now they want the spies to become weathermen and snoop on Global Warming.
Read about it here in the story titled "Lawmakers squabble over CIA's look at global warming" on TheRawStory.com.
Ridiculous.

Bush's Job Rating Better Than Most Believe
I've heard several numbers bantered around about the President's job rating. With somber faces the political analysts talk of rating in the teens or lower. I found that hard to believe so I checked at www.pollingreport.com. Bush's last job approval rating was 38%, which is up somewhat from earlier ratings. Check it out here.

Will Dem Troubles Help the GOP?
There are signs that a dark cloud is forming over the Democrats.
Democrat congressional candidates promised much before the 2006 elections, but so far they haven't been able to transform their agenda into law. Read the story about this in the Washington Post titled "Democrats' Momentum Is Stalling" here. This opens the door for Republican can start calling the Dems the "do nothing" party.
The Dem presidential race front runner, Hillary Clinton, just did a "flip-flop" on the Iraq war. Read the NewsMax.com story titled "Hillary Clinton: Iraq War Vote a Mistake" here. This change adds fuel to the charge that Democrats are weak on national defense.
John Edwards wants more taxes. Read the MSNBC story titled "Edwards says he’d consider tax hikes" here. This can only feed the voter's fear that a Dem President and Congress would not only repeal the Bush tax cuts, but go even further to raise taxes. This leaves an opening for the Republicans to once again tag the Dems as the "tax and spend party".
The big question will be if Republicans can translate Dem difficulties into Republican victories - in both the 2008 Presidential race and in their battle to re-gain control of Congress.

Rudy Giuliani on George Bush - "A Great President"
Rudy Giuliani defended President Bush while campaigning in Iowa Friday:
"He will be, I believe, a president who will be viewed by history for this one decision as being a great president...He decided in a flash to put our country on offense against terrorism."
Read the full story about it here.
While few would agree with Rudy today, I believe he is right. George Bush is a President with a backbone that was the right man for the times.
The question is, will Giuliani be the right man for the times for president as far as the Republican base is concerned? There is no doubt that he is seen as the strongest leader of the GOP candidates, but his views on abortion and gay marriage may keep him from the GOP nod. Ironically, these same views make Rudy the mostly likely candidate to win in the general election.
Rudy's answer to the concerns is that he will appoint conservative judges. How attractive that promise is to conservative Christians will be the key to the 2008 election.

First Landing in Virginia - The Founding of America
My wife and I watched a Christian Broadcasting Network presentation of a movie titled First Landing. It is the true story of the landing of English settlers on Cape Henry in Virginia Beach. The movie was produced by CBN and Regent University to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the event.
The colonists were on their way to establish the first permanent English colony, Jamestown. The movie is a story of Christian love and perseverance.
The main character of the movie is Reverend Robert Hunt, played by Guy Birtwhistle, who lead the first landing party. There is a moving scene where the colonists carry a wooden cross made in England and planted it on the shores of Cape Henry. Hunt prayed that the New World be dedicated to Jesus Christ and the spreading of the Gospel.
You can learn more about the movie, the establishment of the first colony and the role of Christianity in the beginnings of our country here.
My wife and I were moved by the movie. The cinematography and acting was excellent. The story was presented in fast paced short segments that will keep the viewer's interest.
However, after the program the following disclaimer rolled on the screen.
The preceding CBN telecast does not reflect the views of ABC Family.
We were horrified. Sadly that is true.
Our Christian heritage is being covered up and denied before our eyes. Most of the MSM reporting on the anniversary of the founding of Jamestown this week do not mention the stated purpose of the colonists, which was to spread the Gospel to the New World. Their purpose was God’s purpose.
I pray that our country is re-dedicated to Jesus Christ and the spreading of the Gospel and that the spirit of the Jamestown settlers be re-ignited throughput the land.
