Bush Administration Sides With NOW We were shocked when Solicitor General, Theodore Olson of the Bush administration said that demonstrators could be sued for blocking abortion mills and that, "The First Amendment is not an issue in this case." This was simply the pragmatic President Bush, in another attempt to "reach across the aisle," throwing Christians to the lions. Thank God for Justice Scalia, who made it very clear that this case was precisely about the infringement of the First Amendment by NOW, and that if NOW were correct in its premise, then Carrie Nation and Martin Luther King were racketeers. The other Justices agreed, so, "Why did the Bush administration side with NOW?" Evidently President Bush feels that by siding with NOW on this one, he will assuage the wrath of radical feminism, and get rid of the embarrassing pro-life Christians that are living out their faith in the streets. You can kill two birds with one stone - not a bad strategy given the pragmatism that runs this White House. We have become to this administration - expendable! It is sad that our "born-again" President is willing to support groups like the National Right to Life (they are willing to compromise anything for him), but for those who stand upon the principles of God's Word, he is willing to discard. It isn't just George Bush. This pattern of distancing itself from those who hold strong Christian views is endemic in the Republican Party. Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and others who have taken strong stands for our Lord are coming under the increasing scrutiny and wrath of Ari Fleischer. The Republican Party wants to pander to the homosexual community, treat all religions as the same, and talk pro-life but never act like it. This leveling of all truth to make it so there is no truth, will never be tolerated by real Christianity. Tom Delay, Congressman from Texas and a strong pro-life advocate, is supporting Senator Charles Schummer's bill to strip all pro-life Christians of their right to declare bankruptcy if sued by NOW, or someone in the abortion industry. In the opinion of Delay and many in the Republican Party, gentle Christians who give mother's a real choice at abortion mills should not be extended the same rights that belong to all U.S. citizens. Like the babies before us, we have now become expendable! This should come as a surprise to no one, and as a wake-up call for all who call on the Name.
