 AH> Our No. 1 moral value is still 'live and let live'

 AH> By Steve Chapman

 AH> November 9, 2004

 AH> CHICAGO - Across the political spectrum, experts agree that the
 AH> election of 2004 represents a sharp swing toward old-fashioned
 AH> Christian values, which conservatives cheer and liberals lament.

I think it represents a rejection of salvation and eternal life through
Jesus Christ in favour of "moral law", "natural law", "universal law", or
"noachide law".

 AH> "I have long advocated a stronger tie between politics and the
 AH> virtues," announced veteran conservative moralist Bill Bennett the
 AH> day after the election. "Last night it was evident that the
 AH> American people agree." James Dobson, founder of Focus on the
 AH> Family, said that because of the prayers of Christians, "God has
 AH> given us a reprieve" - but a brief one that the president must use
 AH> to implement a moral agenda.

I wonder what "moral agenda" James Dobson has in mind? Could his "moral
agenda" be to restore the observance of "moral law"? Could he believe
that the "Moral Law" is the law of the universe?

Let's google it, just a little bit....

Bingo!

WHAT DO JAMES DOBSON, THE CABBALLA, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAVE IN COMMON?

(snip)

On March 4, Christian radio stations nationwide aired an address to
the Council for National Policy by James Dobson, President of Focus on
the Family. Expressing his determination to do whatever is necessary
to restore the observance of "moral law," Dr. Dobson reasoned that,
since God created Wisdom before He created anything else, the Moral
Law is the law of the Universe. The identical appeal for nations to be
governed by "natural law" and "moral law" has historically been made
by the Orders of Freemasonry.

 AH> Liberal Northwestern University Professor Garry Wills is afraid
 AH> they're right in thinking we want a crusade to clean up our morals.
 AH> Americans, he writes, have come to resemble our extremist Muslim
 AH> enemies, with our "fundamentalist zeal, a rage at secularity,
 AH> religious intolerance, fear of and hatred for modernity." 

That is what a rejection of Jesus Christ in favour of Noachide Laws
will lead to.

 AH> Oh, please. Americans don't want the government policing individual
 AH> morality any more than they want the NFL to switch to touch
 AH> football. America is a "live and let live" country, and it's only
 AH> growing more so.

Maybe America would be better if the "NFL" actually -kicked- the ball,
instead of throwing it and pack-raping it, but it seems that while the
"conservatives" do purport to reject the nanny-state when it comes to
social welfare, they willingly embrace a noachide nanny-state where 
all aspects of morality are enforced.

 AH> Commentators made much of the fact that "moral values" ranked first
 AH> on the list of concerns that voters cited as most important to
 AH> them, surpassing the economy, terrorism and the war in Iraq. Four
 AH> out of five of these people voted for President Bush.

 AH> But "moral values" is a vague concept that may not mean the same
 AH> thing in Minneapolis as it does in Dallas or Baltimore.

 AH> Even if you assume that the people worried about moral values want
 AH> Mr. Dobson's brand of morality, the fact is only 22 percent of the
 AH> electorate rank it as their chief priority. No less than 78 percent
 AH> disagree, which is a landslide margin.

Anyone wanting to get a feel for the "moral values" these people are
pursuing can do the googling for themselves... it's not difficult to
bung in a few search terms & connect the dots.

Cheers, Steve..
