"As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the 'Son of Man.' "

Your passport wording will change this year:
The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says“

The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.

Only in the topsy-turvy world of left-wing political correctness could it be considered an ‘improvement’ for a birth-related document to provide less information about the circumstances of that birth,” Family Research Council president Tony Perkins wrote in a statement to Fox News Radio. “This is clearly designed to advance the causes of same-sex ‘marriage’ and homosexual parenting without statutory authority, and violates the spirit if not the letter of the Defense of Marriage Act.”
Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, agreed. “It’s part of an overall attempt at political correctness to diminish the distinction between men and women and to somehow suggest you don’t need both a father and a mother to raise a child successfully,” said Jeffress. “(This decision) was made to make homosexual couples feel more comfortable in rearing children.”

Another note of concern:
Set to premiere Monday, January 17 at 9:00 p.m. Central/Mountain, MTV’s new sex-and-drug dramaSkins promises to be one of the most explicit series on basic cable…and MTV is sparing no measure in promoting the show to teenagers. ► more

Although there is some 'good news' this week:
Sirius/XM satellite radio is one of the many features offered by Ford in its cars…but some programming, like Playboy Radio and Howard Stern’s sexually graphic talk show, is not appropriate for minors. Now, the auto maker is allowing parents to block explicit content from teens with its MyKey system. The new feature will debut later this year as standard equipment on the Ford Taurus and Ford Explorer and will eventually be available in most Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

This is merely the most recent demonstration of Ford’s responsible corporate behavior. The company has consistently sponsored family-friendly television programming, while avoiding offensive shows. In 2008, Ford not only refused to sponsor the CBS sex orgy show Swingtown – it actually warned its dealerships to avoid the program. Ford’s consistent application of high standards regarding the entertainment it sponsors placed them on the PTC’s list of Top Ten TV Advertisers in 2010. The PTC thanks Ford for its choices in favor of decent entertainment. ►more

We definitely are living in the last days. Are you ready to meet God? You will one way (at the Rapture of the Church) or the other (at the White Throne Judgment). Which will it be?

It sure looks like "a good day to fly."

Nazism and Islam: Two peas in a pod

Nazism and Islam share common values and, more importantly, a common enemy in the Jews, World War II-era Palestinian Arab leader Haj Amin al-Husseini is cited as telling his German benefactors in the latest survey of declassified US wartime documents.

Prepared by the UN National Archives, the report titled “Hitler’s Shadow” references thousands of declassified intelligence and diplomatic reports in detailing Husseini’s active cooperation with the Nazi leadership in its quest to rid the world of the Jewish people.

According to the report, Husseini was paid an enormous salary for fomenting hatred of the Jews in “Palestine” and for helping to recruit Muslims as Nazi soldiers. His contract with the Nazis also promised Husseini rulership over Palestine at the successful conclusion of the war.

One document cites Adolf Hitler as telling Husseini that Nazi Germany’s only aim in conquering Palestine was to eradicate the Jewish presence there. After that, the country would be Husseini’s to rule as he saw fit.
During a later recruitment trip to a Muslim-dominated part of Croatia, Husseini praised new Muslim recruits to the Nazi military, and stated that “the entire Muslim world ought to follow their example.”

Amazingly, or perhaps no so amazingly, as the war came to a close and it was clear the Nazis were going to lose, the British authorities in the Middle East were actually open to letting Husseini return and lead the Palestinian Arabs there.

One of the diplomatic cables has the British head of Mandatory Palestine’s Criminal Investigation Division telling the US assistant military attache in Cairo that Husseini could unite the regions Arabs and “cool off the Zionists. Of course, we can’t do it, but it might not be such a damn bad idea at that.”

The report concludes by noting that despite the mountain of evidence against him, the Allied powers allowed Husseini to flee to Syria after the war and did not pursue a criminal investigation. Husseini died in Beirut in 1974 as a hero among his people.

The international community’s lenient treatment of Husseini even though he had openly collaborated with modern history’s most brutal and criminal dictatorship was again repeated when the world decided to take the most blood-soaked terrorist in history, Yasser Arafat, and reward him by making him a head of state.

It sure looks like a “Good Day to Fly”.
