Gretchen Carlson Moved To Tears
As Huckabee Urges America: ‘Quit
Being Ashamed That We Believe In God’

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/17/2012 10:33:24 AM

Fox News Host Mike Huckabee moved Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson to tears on Monday in a discussion about God and religion in the wake of the mass murder in Connecticut on Friday. After saying that no one “should be surprised” by the attack because schools have become a place free of religion, Huckabee softened his tone. He said that Americans should no longer be ashamed of their belief in a higher power and turn to morality before the tragedy rather than after. (Snip) “I’m not suggesting by any stretch that if we had prayer in

Comments:
I might not always agree with Huckabee, but what he said this morning was absolutely correct. I have been fearful that some of the vile leftists will start complaining about all the references to God after this horrible tragedy.

Huckabee is correct on this one.

Yes, we should not be ashamed that we believe in God and I think the war on the Christian religion should stop. We need to affirm that we are a Christian nation and defend that nation by restricting Muslims to visitor status only.

However, this has nothing to do with the recent shootings. The gunman was insane, not disbelieving.

We are reaping what we have sown. We removed God from the conversation and every other endeavor, and there is nothing left to fill the void. Just sayin´

As a practicing Christian, I have not always agreed with the way Huckabee portrays himself in politics. But on this one I definitely agree. Christians need to ´man up´ and tell seculars to back off and stop attacking us for our faith. Jesus stood against evil for our sake. We can do no less now can we?

We are currently seeing the results of secular behaviour that has been a part of our national culture for decades.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Seen the new T-Shirt?

"Dear God, how could you allow such a thing to happen in our school? Signed: Concerned Student."

"Dear Concerned Student: I am not allowed in your school. Signed: God."

If the above offends you, good. That´s what I intended.

I´ll never understand why the majority (God fearing Believers) allow the small % of the population to force us to remove God and any references to God from the public forum. Since the atheists believe in nothing, why should they be offended. They worship nothing and one day they will be rewarded with nothing.

Tell the ACLU to leave, go away, vanish. They do nothing except foment trouble and strife...but perhaps that´s their charge.

Tell the churches and pastors that it is time to read God´s word and follow God´s word.....not just interpret the Bible to fit their own desires and the secular-progressive agenda. Some denominations have wandered away from biblical teachings and have instituted their own teachings. Time to stand up and be counted for something.

I believe that Gretchen´s father was a minister. Funny how we can defend the islamic center being built in the shadow of the Twin Towers but we cannot mention the word God without feeling embarrassed.

The remedy for safety from one another has always been and will always be the living of higher laws. Mankind always looks for the new solutions which usually restate the same old worldy solutions that do not work. When we become a moral society, then these problems will disappear. If we keep in the same direction, the consequences will follow.

Fear of God has prevented many a person from doing terrible harm. Judgement by fellow citizens helps to keep a society civil and encourages positive behavior. There will always be the tug of war between good and evil. Many today no longer know right from wrong. The "do it if it feels good," me generation is in position of power. All the "diversity" and "politically correct" BS has succeeded (as it was intended)in dividing our nation. After all...nobody wants to hurt anyone´s feelings, right? Presently we have an un_American lying, lawless,divisive President. Bad behavior and indecent acts,(ala Bill Clinton)are accepted by society,elected officials who will not or cannot work together for the good of their country, worship of self and celebrity,the devaluing of human life,the unwillingness to punish illegal immigrants yet we don´t encourage assimilation, destroying the American economy, devaluing marriage, marginalizing Christian religion,dissing the founders of this great nation and ignoring our beautiful Constitution. Our children see all this happening and yet are expected to grow up healthy in mind, body and soul. Is it any wonder they are confused about right and wrong and good and evil and bereft of moral covictions? America is indeed in decline as it is being destroyed from within. It´s so clear yet so many are in denial or simply don´t care. Governor Huckabee is correct in his assessment.

Mark 8:38 "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

How many see the significance of the actions today compared to when Jesus was born. Herod heard that a prophecy was to come true of a King (Jesus) being born. The Wise Men saw a star and followed it. They were summoned to Herod, asked to return when they found the King so Herod could worship Him too. Of course, he wanted to kill him. When they did not return, Herod had all male babies/children two years and under killed. Satan has again attacked our children, who will carry on God´s legacy for the human race.

Obama, in his speech, sought "again" to cause confusion/division amongst the people.

He thinks he is able to do what only God can do!

We need a heart trasfusion of God´s Love/Grace, His ability to draw US together in His Word that defines who we are, what we are capable of with His aid/intervention.

America is in need of God´s mercy, His true Love/Grace that gave His only-begotten Son so that we might one day enjoy His PEACE/LOVE/JOY!

pray for America! We are at a crossroad that will lead to freedom or tyranny!

God save the nation - US!

Yet more symptoms of a PC nation gone awry. Not PC to talk about mental illness, not PC to talk about God and religion.

But, oh, how the misty presidential tears and prayers flowed. When it was too late. How about before the fact, presidential role model? At those evaded prayer breakfasts every year? That we are not a Christian nation, yet, history dispoves your lying lips.

Well, someone brought a gun to the knife fight, president role model misty tears. You provoked a challenge, then hide behind a false Christianity because it was a great photo op.

I have always believed, and have taught both of my children, that faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to. On Friday, I couldn´t wait to hold my children and tell them how much I love them. They are 19 and supposedly independent but, they both just let me cry and hold them tight. They both knew that their mom needed them so very much that day. When tragedies of this magnitude happen, I HAVE to hang onto my faith. It´s sometimes all I have to get me through without running screaming into the street.

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript
