Out of step with the American people, right wing religionists looked past GOP corruption. Next they'll probably be going local.
Top shelf conservative Christian evangelicals, GOP political leaders, and a host of right wing pundits, columnists, and radio and television talk show hosts have just about finished hashing out the whys and wherefores of Election 2006's "thumpin." Much post-election talk has centered on both the actions of the so-called "values voters," and what the election results might means for the future of the Christian right.
Some conservatives have moon-walked away from their defeated GOP brethren faster than Michael Jackson in his prime. Focus on the Family's Dr. James Dobson has argued -- in a post-election statement and on a Thanksgiving Eve appearance with CNN's Larry King -- that it wasn't that conservative social issues were rejected by the voters, it was that the GOP didn't push the conservative social agenda hard enough.
Meanwhile, direct-mail guru Richard Viguerie, and former Republican congressman and current MSNBC talk shot host Joe Scarborough, appear to have gotten what they had been touting for months -- a repudiation of the GOP. They hope, however, that this will lead to a revitalization of the conservative movement.
Unlike 2004, when the term "value voters" became de rigeur amongst the chattering classes, this time around evangelical voters -- unable to deliver tipping point power -- appear to have become just another -- albeit still important -- voting block.

Joel Rosenberg, the Christian bestselling author and close friend to Israeli officials, wants the Bush Administration to deal robustly with Iran's nuclear program
In a blog post from Jerusalem dated November 13, Joel Rosenberg, the bestselling Christian novelist, wrote: "The buzz here in the last few days is that Israel is seriously considering a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites." Given Israel's less than sterling performance against Hezbollah this summer, Rosenberg is not convinced that Israel "has the capacity -- or the will -- at the moment to neutralize the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat."
However, with "a new Hitler rising in Iran," it is up to President Bush -- who met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Washington on November 13 -- to deal with the Iranian threat: "If President Bush believes Iran needs to be neutralized (and I believe he does), and he is convinced that military action is the only way (I don't believe he is there right now), then the U.S. should take the lead."
After all, wrote Rosenberg "If anyone is going to stop Iran from threatening the world with nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, it has to be soon, perhaps no later than the end of 2007. After all, 2008 is an American election year. 2009 will be the start of a new administration. By then it may be too late. The thermonuclear genie may be out of the bottle."

The controversial public relations outfit has been awarded yet another Pentagon contract. This time, it's up to $20 million for monitoring the media.
Since the inception of the Iraq war, and even during the run-up to the invasion, the Bush Administration aimed to control the news about, and from Iraq. Early on, embedded reporters told stories about the toppling of the statue of Saddam and the heroism of individual soldiers as the military quickly seized Baghdad. Over the course of the subsequent three-plus-year occupation, several hundred million dollars have been spent on an assortment of media projects that were specifically designed to sell "good" news about the occupation. Perhaps the most notorious U.S. effort involved a U.S. public relations company that was contracted to pay for positive news stories -- written by U.S. military personnel -- to be placed in Iraqi publications.
In late-September, the Pentagon once again turned toward that company, and inked a two-year contract with the Lincoln Group, which "put together a unit of 12-18 communicators to support military PR efforts in Iraq and throughout the Middle East from media training to pitching stories and providing content for government-backed news sites," ODwyerspr.com reported.
According to ODwyerpr.com -- an information service produced by the highly respected industry publication O'Dwyers PR Daily -- the "contract with the Multi-National Force-Iraq is valued at more than $6 million per year, although contracting documents indicated that additional efforts could be "ordered" from the Pennsylvania Avenue firm for up to $20 million."

Christian evangelical leaders start rallying the troops for 'the biggest battle we have faced for our core beliefs' says the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins
In an election-eve communication, the Reverend Donald Wildmon, the founder and chairman of the American Family Association, sent an email to his supporters urging them to get out and vote "for the sake of our children and grandchildren." The email continued, "It is not merely control of Congress that will be decided ... but also control of the federal courts who are assuming more and more influence over the core values that you and I care about most."
Many who identify as Christian conservatives may have taken warnings from Rev. Wildmon and other conservative Christian evangelical leaders to heart and showed up at the polls. But this time around, in some races religious voters played an important role in electing Democratic candidates.
According to the New York Times, exit polling found that 24 percent (up from 23 percent in 2004) of the voters identified themselves as born-again Christians. "And," the New York Times reported, "70 percent of those white evangelical and born-again Christians voted for Republican Congressional candidates nationally, also little changed from the 72 percent who voted for such candidates in 2004."
There was a shift in Ohio, though, where Ted Strickland, a Methodist Minister won the governor's race, and in Pennsylvania, where Bob Casey Jr., attracted Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants.

Americans United lawsuit seeks to block taxpayer money from being used by faith-based organizations to promote marriage
In 2005, the Vancouver, Washington-based Northwest Marriage Institute, a fundamentalist Christian organization, received two federal grants worth $97,750; a $50,000 Compassion Capital Fund grant came from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a $47,750 sub-grant came from the Institute for Youth Development, an intermediary organization that distributes "faith-based" funds for HHS.
On Tuesday, September 12, Americans United for Separation of Church and State (Americans United) filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Tacoma, Wash., -- on behalf of 13 state residents -- against HHS, seeking to block taxpayer funding of the Northwest Marriage Institute program because it consists of "Bible-based" marriage education.
An American United press release declared that "The lawsuit against HHS, the Institute for Youth Development and the Northwest Marriage Institute has important national implications because the Bush administration is promoting massive federal funding for marriage programs."
"This program trains people in how to make their marriages conform to one narrow interpretation of faith," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. "The federal government has no business forcing the taxpayer to subsidize that."

After admitting "some guilt" in accusations of purchasing gay sex and using amphetamines, Ted Haggard, megachurch pastor, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, and adviser to George W. Bush, resigns
Pastor Ted Haggard got a November Surprise: Only a few days before Colorado voters were to head to the polls to vote on two ballot initiatives involving gay marriage, Mike Jones, a former gay escort claimed that he had a three-year sexual relationship with Haggard, the founder and senior leader of the 14,000 member Colorado Springs, Colorado-based New Life Church, the state's largest megachurch. Haggard also served as president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE - website) whose 30-million members come from more than 45,000 churches across America. Over the past few years, Haggard has been a regular advisor to the Bush administration.
Within 48 hours of Jones' revelations and despite receiving a vote of confidence from Dr. James C. Dobson, Haggard resigned his post at the NAE, and "voluntarily" took an administrative leave of absence from his church. On Friday morning a church spokesman admitted to a Colorado Springs television station that there was "some guilt" on Haggard's part, while an independent voice identification expert is set to declare voice mails left on Jones' answering service were "perfect matches" on nine of 12 words.

Despite a record of past scams and other controversial business deals, Neil Bush is now benefiting directly from President's Bush's No Child Left Behind Act and his father's international network
Two years ago, when Neil Bush and his mother, the former first lady Barbara Bush, were featured guests at a $1,000-a-table fundraiser for the Western Heights School District in Oklahoma City, proceeds from the event were specifically earmarked for the purchase of products from Neil's company, Ignite! Learning. Late last year, when Neil's mom agreed to make a contribution to a Hurricane Katrina relief foundation for those victims that had relocated to Texas, she stipulated that her donation had to be used by local schools to acquire Ignite products.
It must have been a long time ago that Neil Bush, the son of Bush 41 and the younger brother of Bush 43, discovered that the key to unlocking the entrepreneurial vault was to take full advantage of the Family. While entrepreneurial nepotism is as American as apple pie and Thomas Kinkade paintings, the Bush Family has honed it into a science.
Over the past two decades, while Neil Bush has made impressive amounts of money in all sorts of interesting business deals, he has always seemed like the kid who was caught red-handed throwing chalk at the teacher, got sent to the principal and yet returned to the classroom unscathed.
These days, with the help of the Saudi Royal Family, a former junk bond dealer, a Russian mobster, the Rev. Sum Myung Moon, and mom and dad, family string-pulling is again paying off.

Perry, the Houston-based homebuilder and the primary funder behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is pumping millions into this year's congressional races
 In New Mexico, according to Federal Election Commission records, Americans for Honesty on Issues has spent $165,000 in support of the campaign of Republican Rep. Heather Wilson, who is hoping to hold onto her seat against her Democratic challenger, Attorney General Patricia Madrid. In Iowa, the same group has purchased $159,572 in ads against Democrat Bruce Braley, who is running against Republican Mike Whalen. In Kentucky, Americans for Honesty is sponsoring ads targeting Democratic Party candidate Ken Lucas, who is running for a House seat against Republican Rep. Geoff Davis.
The money for these, and several other congressional races, comes from Bob Perry, the Houston, Texas-based homebuilder who heads Perry Homes and who gained national notoriety when he funded the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" ad campaign that questioned Democratic Party nominee John Kerry's Vietnam War record during the 2004 presidential campaign.
A Los Angeles Times article dated August 15, 2004, pointed out the Perry guarded his privacy, lived fairly modestly considering his wealth, and willingly donated huge sums of money to the Republican Party. Interestingly enough, although he has given millions to many political candidates "the vast majority of those people have never laid eyes on him," Court Koenning, executive director of the Republican Party in Harris County, told the Los Angeles Times.

A new book from administration insider confirms faith-based initiative is little more than political-religious patronage system
 Oddly enough, the high point of President Bush's faith-based initiative may have come on the day it was announced, shortly after his inauguration in 2000. Bush, surrounded by a host of smiling religious leaders, triumphantly launched the White House Office on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives -- the centerpiece of the president's domestic agenda.
From that day until the present, the initiative has been mired in controversy: Many Republicans were dissatisfied with the appointment of John DiIulio, nominally a Democrat, to be the first head of the White House Office; a number of religious right leaders withheld their support for the initiative over concerns that organizations such as the Nation of Islam or the Church of Scientology might wind up receiving government money; and the Washington Post revealed that the White House had been holding secret meetings with the Salvation Army aimed at doing an end run around civil rights hiring laws.
Now, David Kuo, the former second-in-command of the White House Office and a true believer in the power of faith-based organizations to help the poor, has published a new book titled "Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction," which provides an insiders look at how the Bush White House politicized the initiative, sometime rejected applications for federal faith-based funds because they came from non-Christian applicants, mocked leaders of the Christian Right, and betrayed the very essence of the faith-based initiative's charge to help the poor.

Reaching for the national spotlight, conservative radio talk show host Melanie Morgan zeroes in on Cindy Sheehan
She still believes that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. She thinks that global warming is a liberal scare tactic. She has suggested that the editor of the New York Times be tried for treason. Now, she's taking on Cindy Sheehan.
If in your meanderings through assorted media you haven't yet encountered Melanie Morgan, hang in there, because you will very soon. Morgan who plies her trade as co-host of the "Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan Program" broadcast out of the San Francisco studios of KSFO-AM (560 AM), is delivering the mother of all hit jobs on Cindy Sheehan in a new book called "American Mourning: The Intimate Story of Two Families Joined by War, Torn by Beliefs," co-authored by conservative columnist Catherine Moy.
Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004, helped revive a near-dormant anti-Iraq war movement and brought the war in Iraq back into the media spotlight when she set up Camp Casey just down the road from President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch last summer.

Opponents of faith-based prison programs are enabling terrorists, says Watergate felon Charles Colson
Those opposed to faith-based prison projects are blind to the threat of terrorism in the "homeland" from former inmates who have converted to Islam while in America's prisons, Charles Colson charged in one of his recent BreakPoint commentaries.
Stung by a federal district court judge's recent decision that his InnerChange Freedom Initiative, a faith-based prison program operating in Iowa's prisons is unconstitutional, Colson, one of President Richard Nixon's key operatives during the Watergate years and currently the head of Prison Fellowship Ministries, is using a new report about the growing threat of Islamic terrorists being recruited in U.S. prisons to argue that support for his faith-based prison program is essential if terrorist attacks in this country are to be prevented.

Viguerie, a New Right founding father and king of conservative direct mail, is angry about the GOP's wayward leadership and he's calling on his troops to stand down
 While a host of conservative Christian evangelical leaders were trying to energize the Republican Party's grassroots base at their Value Voters Summit a few weeks back, Richard Viguerie was sending a different message to conservatives. While he isn't advocating a GOP defeat in November, Viguerie, one of the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement, recently told progressive radio talk show host Laura Flanders, that he has "lived long enough" so that he "no longer fear[s] defeat...Many times, if not most of the times, our best success has come after defeat."
Agreeing with Flanders' characterization of the Bush White House as corrupt and immoral, Viguerie maintained that Bush has "done very little in the way of governing as a conservative."
"The core difference between a conservative and a liberal Laura, it is the role of government in our lives." The president has made "no serious effort to abolish any significant government program," Viguerie said.
Viguerie's stance is not new. It is, however, getting a lot more play than it did two years ago when, in an interview on PBS's "Now" less than a week before the November 2004 election, Viguerie told then-co-host Bill Moyers that after Bush won, "somewhere around ... the morning after the election ... the war starts for the heart and soul" of the Republican Party. "It's gonna be a war," Viguerie said. A war "between the traditional conservatives, those who identify with Ronald Reagan, people like myself. And, the big government Republicans. And then also maybe the Neo-cons."

Kenneth Tomlinson: Ethically challenged maven of sleaze
The inspector general at the Department of State finds the ethically challenged Kenneth Tomlinson, the reappointed chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, has been improperly using his office to promote his own business interests and to dole out a large consulting contract to a friend.
Consider if you will, Kenneth L. Tomlinson, the Bush appointee to chair the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who was forced to resign after trying to politicize and Republicanize that agency. Earlier this month, the New York Times reported that Tomlinson, who has most recently been serving as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) -- "the federal board that oversees most government broadcasts to foreign countries" including Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, the Arab-language Alhurra, and Radio Martà -- barely survived an effort by fellow board members to remove him from that post. (BBG broadcasts are listened to by an estimated 100 million people worldwide.)
According to the Times, "a recent report [which has not yet been released] by the inspector general at the State Department... [found] that Tomlinson had used his office to run a horse-racing operation and that he had improperly put a friend on the payroll." The Associated Press pointed out that the investigation found that while with the BBG, Tomlinson "signed invoices worth about $245,000 for a friend [retired VOA employee Les Daniels] without the knowledge of other board members or staff."

Fifty years behind the pulpit and 30 years in the political spotlight has not slowed the Reverend Jerry Falwell
 After 50 years behind the pulpit at the Thomas Road Baptist Church, in Lynchburg, Virginia, and nearly 30 years in the political spotlight, the Rev. Jerry Falwell has a lot to be proud of. While he has never achieved the revered status of Rev. Billy Graham, and his books have not sold the millions of copies that Tim LaHaye's "Left Behind" series of apocalyptic novels or megachurch Pastor Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life," have, Falwell has been a major player in the changing political landscape over the past three decades. Now, though still a potent political figure, he has set about to solidify a permanent monument to his life's work; building a multi-million dollar endowment for his thoroughly Christian Liberty University.
In the late 1970s, Paul Weyrich, widely considered as the guru of the modern conservative movement, Terry Dolan, Richard Viguerie, the godfather of conservative direct mail, and Howard Phillips left Christian Voice and tapped televangelist Falwell to head up the Moral Majority. Over the years, as the Reverend became more influential politically, he became a favored guest on cable television's news programs.
From his pre-Moral Majority days when he preached against religious folk supporting the civil rights movement, to his support for President Ronald Reagan-backed contra movements in Central America and Africa, movements that were responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, to his invective against Nelson Mandela and South Africa's African National Congress and his support for the apartheid regime, Falwell has been a Republican Party stalwart and a dependable voice of reaction.

Review of Conservatives Without Conscience
By John W. Dean
Viking, New York, 2006
The title of John Dean's exegesis on the conservative movement in America is obviously meant to ring a few bells of recognition, being as it is an obvious play on Barry Goldwater's touchstone book, The Conscience of a Conservative. It's clear that Dean hopes to reclaim the good name of conservatism, and in exploring as he does the stark contrasts between modern movement conservatives and the ideals of movement founders like Goldwater, he does so admirably.
But the title rings another bell -- unintentionally, to be sure, but tellingly: it first brought to my mind Robert D. Hare's now-standard text on psychopaths, Without Conscience, which was first published in 1993 but remains in print. Dean's book, as it happens, makes no reference to Hare's work, but it does explore similar territory in examining the psychology not just of the movement's fear-driven followers -- people whose needs drive them to seek out authoritarian leaders -- but the conscienceless manipulators who are all too happy to lead them.

Under cloud of illegality "The Hammer" attempts to rehabilitate his image
In early-May, when former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) announced that he would be resigning from Congress the following month, he delivered a letter to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert advising him that he was moving on in order "to pursue new opportunities to engage in the important cultural and political battles of our day from an arena outside of the U.S. House of Representatives."
DeLay who had resigned his post as Majority Leader in September 2005 after a Texas grand jury indicted him on charges of campaign-finance violations tied to Texans for a Republican Majority, appears now to be reduced to sending silly e-mail to rally his troops on behalf of a conservative contestant on an ABC television reality show.
According to the Washington Post, "The Hammer," who had close ties to the disgraced and indicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, is no longer: designing some redistricting scam to guarantee GOP control of Texas' congressional delegation for ages to come; doling out hundreds of thousands in PAC money to Republican Party candidates; teaming up with Abramoff; or hustling votes in Congress for George W. Bush. Instead, he "is using his post-congressional clout to influence another election -- the viewer voting on ABC's ‘Dancing With the Stars 3,'" which features 11 celebrities and 11 actual dancers, and which had its season premiere earlier this week.
DeLay recently "sent out a mass mailing asking his friends to vote for Sara Evans [one of the program's celebrity contestants] because she "represents good American values."
At the same time, DeLay urged his supporters not to vote for television talk show host Jerry Springer, another celebrity participant.

ADL calls it "an outrageous and shoddy attempt by D. James Kennedy to trivialize the horrors of the Holocaust"
 The buzz before and after the broadcast of "Darwin's Deadly Legacy" -- on Christian cable networks and about 200 television stations around the country -- centered just as much on the film's assertion that Adolph Hitler grounded his genocidal actions on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, as it did on whether a prestigious scientist was duped into participating in the documentary, the ventures of D. James Kennedy, the powerful pastor of the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida-based Coral Ridge Ministries (CRM) which produced the film. Also in the spotlight is the growing split in the Jewish community over relations with conservative Christian evangelicals.
The documentary aired August 26-27 during Coral Ridge Ministries' "Coral Ridge Hour," accompanied by a book titled "Evolution's Fatal Fruit: How Darwin's Tree of Life Brought Death to Millions." The film "connects the dots between Charles Darwin and Adolph Hitler," a pre-broadcast CRM statement claimed. The statement boasted that "the program features 14 scholars, scientists and authors who outline the grim consequences of Darwin's theory of evolution and show how his theory fueled Hitler's ovens."
In a statement, Kennedy said: "To put it simply, no Darwin, no Hitler. Hitler tried to speed up evolution, to help it along, and millions suffered and died in unspeakable ways because of it."

Anti-immigrant group turns to Alan Keyes and his right wing groups to handle money and media
 In late April, Chris Simcox, the head of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC), the anti-immigration organization that thrust itself into the national spotlight last year when it set up citizen patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border, showed up in Bellingham, Washington to testify at a Washington Human Rights Commission hearing. According to a post by David Neiwert at Orcinus, Simcox, who seemed to have undergone an extreme makeover -- sans cosmetic surgery -- was "rather impressive: clean-cut, very straightforward seeming, very smooth. He seemed almost preppy with his new clean-shaven look and crew sweatshirt."
The old Simcox, "who liked to alternate between camos and jeans and sport an American-flag ballcap, spout endless conspiracy theories and quasi-racist fearmongering, and demonstrate his utter idiocy to anyone familiar with gun safety by holstering his pistol down the front of his jeans," was "it appears ... ancient history ... buried under the careful coaching of the D.C.-based public relations firm that Simcox hired," Neiwert noted. "They've done a pretty good job of making Simcox over completely."
Three months after cleaning up his act, it was no longer Simcox's makeover that was drawing interest. Several former Minuteman comrades have gone public with charges that Simcox has not been accountable for the money the organization had raised. In addition -- and apparently unbeknownst to many of its members -- the organization has taken to calling itself "a project" of the Declaration Alliance, a group controlled by Black conservative Alan Keyes.
And despite his recent appearance with the Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, where he assured the talk show host that everything was on the up-and-up financially, all is not well in the border-vigilante community.

Signers of Interfaith Stewardship Alliance report received $2.3 million from ExxonMobil
While last month's record-setting heat wave may have convinced televangelist Pat Robertson that Global Warming is a clear and present danger, a healthy number of conservative evangelicals, academics, theologians, and political leaders still have their doubts. In a sweltering summertime concurrence, both Robertson's conversion and a report from a group calling itself the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance (ISA) came while many Americans were escaping the heat wave by shuffling off to movie theaters to see Al Gore's critically acclaimed film "An Inconvenient Truth." Reaction to Gore's film -- which was scorched by the conservative media -- Robertson's second thoughts, and the ISA report are all indicative of how conservatives are responding to global warming.
A clearly distressed Robertson told his 700 Club audience that he now believed that global warming is real. Commenting on the heat wave that had been gripping the nation, Robertson said:
"I tell you stay in doors ladies and gentleman. Stay cool. Get fans or whatever. And the poor, they need emergency fans and ice to cool down -- the number of people dead. I have not been one who believed in the global warming. But I tell you, they are making a convert out of me as these blistering summers. They have broken heat records in a number of cities already this year and broken all-time records and it is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels. If we are contributing to the destruction of the planet we need to do manage about it."
While it might not be quite accurate to claim that Robertson has come kicking and screaming to his new stance, it should be recognized that he has given his 700 Club audience more than its fair share of anti-environmental screeds.

Jay Hein, an experienced conservative think tanker, will also be deputy assistant to the president
 Jay Hein, a long-term conservative think tanker, has been named by President Bush the new director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and a deputy assistant to the president. Hein, who takes over the faith-based office from Jim Towey, will advise the president on domestic policies such as immigration or responses to emergencies such as Hurricane Katrina, the Associate Press reported.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Hein "was not originally on the short list of people being considered" to head up the Office, "but when White House officials -- at the suggestion of former Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind. -- went to Hein for advice on candidates, they soon came to see him as more than an adviser."
"Jay has long been a leading voice for compassionate conservatism and a champion of faith and community-based organizations," Bush said in a statement issued on Friday, August 4. "By joining my administration, he will help ensure that these organizations receive a warm welcome as government's partner in serving our American neighbors in need."
