"Fearful
lest it be relegated to the position of an isolated sect, Christianity
seems to be making frenzied efforts at mimicry in order to escape being
devoured by its enemies--a reaction that seems defensive, but is in fact
self-destructive. In the hope of saving itself, it seems to be assuming
the colors of its environment, but the result is that it loses its
identity. . . ."

MEGAN'S
LAW
OFFENDERS
OUTED AT
GAY
PRIDE
PARADE,
BY THE
RECORD'S
OWN
CALIFORNIA
CORRESPONDENT!

Yes, it's true!
The RECORD's own
California
correspondent,
James Hartline,
made national
news last week
by exposing the
fact that two
registered child
molestors are
coordinators for
the upcoming San
Diego “gay
pride” event.
One of the child
molestors used
violence to
coerce his young
victim into a
sex act.
Hartline
discovered that
at least two of
the organizers
of the event are
dangerous sexual
deviants, by
matching up the
names listed in
the LGBT
official guide
for the event
against the
names appearing
on California’s
Megan’s law
website.
Hartline also
pointed out in
his newsletter
that young
people at the
San Diego event
“will be exposed
to a multitude
of pornographic
images and S&M
leather products
as they walk
around the gay
pride festival."
Governor
Schwarzenegger
praised the
upcoming “gay
pride” event in
the following
terms, the same
Liberal pap we
hear in
connection with
the debate over
gay rights in
Maine. Namely,
he said: “I am
pleased to
extend warm
greetings to all
who have
gathered for
this year's
Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and
Transgender
Pride
Celebrations.
California is
proud to host
events that
celebrate
diversity and
support active
civic
participation. I
applaud your
efforts to
foster ties
within your
community and to
promote cultural
and social
acceptance in
our Golden
State.” Which of
course begs the
question, social
acceptance of
what…violent sex
crimes against
minors?
The San Diego
Gay Pride
organization is
also the sponsor
of the recent
San Diego Gay
Youth Pride
event.
Michael Heath,
Executive
Director of the
Christian Civic
League recently
severely
criticized
Schwarzenegger’s
stand on these
issues, and
faulted
President Bush’s
statement that
he will not
consider a
person’s stand
on abortion and
gay marriage as
criteria for who
should be
appointed to the
Supreme Court.

RECESSIONAL - by
Rudyard Kipling
God of our
fathers, known
of old,
Lord of our
far-flung
battle-line,
Beneath whose
awful Hand we
hold
Dominion over
palm and pine -
Lord God of
Hosts, be with
us yet,
Lest we forget -
lest we forget!
The tumult and
the shouting
dies;
The Captains and
the Kings
depart:
Still stands
Thine ancient
sacrifice,
An humble and a
contrite heart.
Lord God of
Hosts, be with
us yet,
Lest we forget -
lest we forget!
Far-called, our
navies melt
away;
On dune and
headland sinks
the fire:
Lo, all our pomp
of yesterday
Is one with
Nineveh and
Tyre!
Judge of the
Nations, spare
us yet,
Lest we forget -
lest we forget!
If, drunk with
sight of power,
we loose
Wild tongues
that have not
Thee in awe,
Such boastings
as the Gentiles
use,
Lord God of
Hosts, be with
us yet,
Lest we forget -
lest we forget!
For heathen
heart that puts
her trust
In reeking tube
and iron shard,
All valiant dust
that builds on
dust,
And guarding,
calls not Thee
to guard,
For frantic
boast and
foolish word -
Thy mercy on Thy
People, Lord!
