Why didn't this make the news

On Saturday San Francisco, along with several other cities across the world, hosted rallies aimed at Stopping the U.S.-Israeli War on Hezbollah and Lebanon. The photographs seen in this post are representation of some of the anti-Israel and anti-American ideologies that we face in this day and age (please keep in mind that these attacks are coming from inside the United States). The criticisms are not only against Israel and America, but are also attacks on the religious viewpoints of many Christians and Jews.

So, the question that I have is this. With the media facing “outlandish” accusations, by conservatives, of being bias, where is the coverage of this weekends anti-American rallies? The media was overzealous in its response to the hate-filled protests of the Phelps family which we covered on our radio show and also on our website. So why didn’t they give an equal response to these hate-filled protests? Both protests are equally negitive and can be equally viewed as hate-filled messages. So why is there such a distinct difference in the amount (or lack of) media coverage between these too seemingly equal un-American events?

The answer is simple and very disturbing. It is evident by the lack of attention given to the anti-American events which took place this weekend that our media is neither fair nor impartial. They are biased and they are trying to push a specific agenda on the American people. This is both sad and disturbing, but it is also for many Christians prophecy being fulfilled.

Do you agree or disagree? Please tell us why.

Nothing But The Cross


WASHINGTON — The Senate approved without opposition Aug. 1 a bill intended to protect San Diego’s Mount Soledad cross as a memorial to military veterans.

Senators agreed by unanimous consent to grant to the federal government ownership of the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial, a 29-foot cross that stands atop an 800-foot mountain and has been a target of church-state separationists. The House of Representatives voted 349-74 for the same measure July 19.

President Bush is expected to sign it into law.


Do you think this cross should remain in place now that it is on federal property?
