"Obama is in a lifeboat beneath a sinking ship, and he won't get back on the bridge, because he's afraid he'll go down with the ship," Savage told his "Savage Nation" audience today.

OBAMA'S COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS HIT RUSH

The pressure continues to build on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to release his tax records, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh says the former Massachusetts governor should have a ready response whenever asked about the matter.


"Some answers ought to just roll off your tongue. Some answers ought to now just be automatic coming out of the oral cavity," Limbaugh said today. "But Mitt appeared to be stumbling and unsure of some things when this income-tax challenge came up [in Monday's debate in South Carolina]. What Romney should have said: 'OK, I'll release my income tax as soon as Obama releases his college transcripts.'"

Anticipating a potentially damaging interview with one of Newt Gingrich's former wives ahead of the South Carolina primary, the Gingrich campaign issued an open letter on Wednesday night to "ABC News leadership,'' the network that conducted the interview, in preparation for a Thursday night broadcast.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: 'I WOULD HOLD IT UNTIL AFTER THE POLLS CLOSE'

We are only 2 days out from the South Carolina primary and there is a high risk from the Drudge Report description of an explosive interview of unfair poisoning of those going to the polls.  There simply is not enough time for a candidate to respond to the explosive report and fairness also includes fairness to the candidate. 

This is not to say that news should be suppressed (it should not) but news should also not be used to ambush. Thus...in light of the close time to the South Carolina primary...if I were ABC, I would hold this interview until after the polls close on Saturday (or I would have showed it a week ago.)

MITT ROMNEY SENT MILLIONS TO MORMON CULT

Underscoring the prominent, if little discussed role that Mitt Romney played as a Mormon leader, the private equity giant once run by the GOP presidential frontrunner carved his church a slice of several of its most lucrative business deals, securities records show, providing it with millions of dollars worth of stock in some of Bain Capital's most well-known holdings.


Romney has always been a major donor to the Mormon cult, which requires that members "tithe," or give 10 percent of their income to the church. His family charity, called the Tyler Foundation, has given more than $4 million to the church in the past five years, including $1.8 million in 2008 and $600,000 in 2009. But because Romney, whose fortune has been estimated at $250 million, has never released his personal tax returns, the full extent of his giving has never been public.

ENCOURAGE YOUR PASTOR TO PREACH A CREATIONIST SERMON  

ON DARWIN DAY, FEBRUARY  12, 2012

Darwin Day is coming up on Sunday, February 12th, as the pagans celebrate the birthday of Charles Darwin, the man who rejected God and invented the false theory of evolution.


The San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association wants to urge you to contact your pastor and suggest that he might prayerfully consider preaching a creationist message on Darwin Day as well as distributing creationist church bulletin inserts that proclaim the Biblical truth. (Check out links to possible sermon outlines).

Christians understand that man is God's crowning glory to creation, made with a divine purpose in mind. The pagans believe that man is nothing more than an animal, or worse yet, just a bunch of chemicals and chemical reactions.

Sadly, too many Christians, who should know better, have themselves rejected the clear teaching of Scripture. They have tried to put some lipstick on Darwin's evolution pig by proclaiming a belief in "theistic evolution." In other words, they contend that (a) there is a God and (b) that God created the earth and all living things through macro-evolution.

To be honest, that is a lie straight from the pit of hell!

Shockingly, some Christians believe that God created through theistic evolution.

Werner Gitt, in an article entitled 10 Dangers of Theistic Evolution, explains:

"The atheistic formula for evolution is:

"Evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods.

"In the theistic evolutionary view, God is added:

"Theistic evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods + God.

"In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy. This leads to 10 dangers for Christians including both the denial of central Biblical teachings and the fact that the Biblical basis of Jesus' work of redemption is mythologized."

The creation account in Genesis is not a fairy tale. It is both historically and scientifically accurate. It's time that Christ-followers take a stand against the teachings and celebration of Charles Darwin.

In anticipation of the Sunday, February 12th celebration and virtual idol worship of Charles Darwin in this post-Christian world, why not use the occasion of his birthday to educate, equip and empower Christians with the truth?

  

Whether you teach Sunday School, lead a Bible study, pastor a church or just desire to share the truth with your friends and family, the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association has provided some helpful resources to make a difference!

  

It's time to draw a line in the sand. No longer will we allow the Darwinian evolutionists to turn unbelievers, much less the body of Christ, away from the truth of the Bible and ultimately away from God.  

 

ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:

1.  Learn more about the vision that the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association's vision to redeem Darwin Day on Sunday, February 12th for God, the Creator.

2.  Print out and hand out a "Darwin Day flyer" which highlights the evils which evolutionist Charles Darwin inspired. You could use it as a church bulletin insert or as the foundation for a church bulletin insert.

3. Check out a 9-page, tongue-in-cheek presentation entitled "Thank you, Charles Darwin". This may be used for a single presentation or printed as additional flyers.

4. Look at a more in-depth statement chronicling the tragic results of Darwin's ideas.

5. Empower your pastor to take a stand for the truth of God's creation in the pulpit on Sunday, February 12th. Forward this e-mail to him with a personal note from you, urging him to use one of the four helpful sermon outlines as a starting place in his preparation. (Don't hesitate to follow-up with a polite phone call to make sure he received this forwarded email).

* Evolution, an Empty Philosophy 

* The Bible and Theistic Evolution"

* The Case for Creation 

* Creation and Evolution

6. Call Scott Lane of the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association at 210.599.7240 or e-mail [email protected] in order for one of their speakers to deliver a FREE, hour-long presentation -- complete with colorful Power Point slides -- on such topics as:

* Introduction to Creation Theories
* Darwin and Radiometric Dating
* Fossils, Physics, and Genetics
* Young Earth Evidences
* Biology and Missing Links
* God and Dinosaurs
* Creation and the Courts

It was made public Tuesday on the social media website Buzzfeed, although it appears to have been accessible online for two months.
