| with Brannon Howse
Brannon Howse: February 3 Topic One: Obama Gets His Civilian Military Force Under Way. During the campaign, Obama said, �We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we�ve set. We�ve got to have a civilian national security force that�s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.� Defense Department Directive 1404.10 establishes Civilian Expeditionary Workforce. Here come the brown shirts. Topic Two: H.R. 45 in the U.S. House would make it illegal to have a loaded firearm for self-defense and make all private sales of guns illegal. A variety of crimes by omission could get you 10 years in jail. Topic Three: Obama Administration considers pro-euthanasia British-style health care. Topic Four: The Choir is getting bigger. Australian PM calls for New World Order.

House Leader Tom DeLay’s ‘Biblical’ Agenda Draws Amens From Worldview Weekend Activists Who Are Seeking ‘Christian Dominion’ In America
By Rob Boston
For U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, the answer to all of life’s thorny questions and vexing moral dilemmas can be found only by embracing his fundamentalist version of Christianity.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the Texas Republican and House of Representatives majority whip told a Religious Right gathering April 12, “Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of ‘Where did I come from?’, ‘Why am I here?’, ‘Where am I going?’, ‘Does life have any meaningful purpose?’ Only Christianity offers a way to understand that physical and that moral border. Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world only Christianity.”
Speaking at a “Worldview Weekend” conference at the First Baptist Church in Pearland, Texas, DeLay told a crowd of about 300 that God had brought him to the U.S. Congress. As for his accomplishments, “The Lord deserves the credit, not me,” DeLay said.
With the Christian Coalition struggling and other groups jockeying for leadership of the Religious Right, many far-right fundamentalists are looking for a new vehicle for political activism. Some have turned to the Worldview Weekend, and in doing so have actually latched on to a group more extreme than the Coalition and other better-known Religious Right groups.
Most Religious Right leaders these days at least give lip service to religious pluralism. They talk of “Judeo-Christian” values and sometimes labor to bring traditionalist Catholics, conservative Mormons and others into the fold in the hope of achieving common political goals.
Not Worldview Weekend. These events are run by far-right fundamentalist Christians for far-right fundamentalist Christians. The whole point of the conference is to learn how fundamentalists can win greater political influence, overturn the separation of church and state and bring government under religious control. The goal is “dominion,” not a corner of a “big tent” or power sharing with non-believers. Worldview Weekend organizers and attendees don’t want a place at the table they want the whole table.
Although a relatively new entry on the Religious Right scene, Worldview Weekend, if its backers are to be believed, is gaining rapidly in popularity. While organizers in Pearland admitted that the turnout there was a disappointment, other cities, they said, have boasted much higher figures.
Brannon Howse, president of the American Family Policy Institute, the St. Paul-based group that runs the Worldview Weekend conferences, told attendees in Pearland that a recent event in Milwaukee attracted 1,000 attendees, and a seminar in Minneapolis drew nearly 2,000.
Kicking off the Pearland seminar, Howse told the crowd that the philosophy behind Worldview Weekend is that no realm of human activity is outside the scope of the Bible especially politics and civil government.
“We can have a biblical worldview for our government as well our civil government,” Howse said. “That’s what this is all about.”
