WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! * Veritas Vos Liberabit * THE FEDERALIST(r) BRIEF The Internet's Conservative Journal of Record http://www.Federalist.com Date: 02 May 2000 Federalist #00-18.brf To retrieve today's Brief as printer-friendly text, link to: http://www.Federalist.com/current00-2.asp To support or sponsor The Federalist, link to: http://www.Federalist.com/support.asp ______--------********O********--------______ THIS WEEK'S FEATURE Thursday, May 4, 2000 (the first Thursday in May), is our National Day of Prayer, an event launched by the First Continental Congress in 1775 and recognized officially as a national day by Congress and Harry Truman in 1952. In 1988, the law was amended and signed by President Reagan, to set the annual observance to Thursday in May. The Federalist Editorial Board and staff invite you to join us, and millions of Americans, in prayer for our nation this week. "Prayer is power. Power to change the hearts of men and women and ultimately power to change our nation." --General Charles C. Krulak (USMC retired) ". . . I want to urge you to join millions across the country in setting aside the first Thursday of May as a special day of prayer, for ourselves, our families, and in our nation and in our world." --Dr. Billy Graham "When we unite ourselves in prayer, we can accomplish almost anything. I'm asking you to consider joining our prayer team. Be a team prayer. Please join us on the National Day of Prayer, the first Thursday in May." --Congressman Steve Largent Visit -- http://www.ndptf.org/ ______--------********O********--------______ INSIGHT "It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to owe their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord...." --Abraham Lincoln, 1863 ______--------********O********--------______ THE GOOD NEWS "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." (Romans 12:12) ______--------********O********--------______ FAITH & FAMILY "An anemic and powerless faith is what you might end up with if you increasingly align yourself with secular politics. Faith always loses in such an alliance. The goals of the world become the goals of the church." --Cal Thomas "More important than refutations of the particular sophistries that oppose us, however, is recognizing that the attack on marriage is an attack on the primal pattern of human life and is, accordingly, a breathtakingly cavalier and thoughtless project. It is the kind of irresponsible thing that we rightly associate with the worst attitudes of unreflective and inexperienced youth. The supporters of 'domestic partnership' know very well, in one sense, what they are doing. They know that they are attacking the privileged position of the marriage-based, two-parent family, and this apparently seems to them to be an eminently rational thing to do. So might the teen-ager who has taken the family car on a joy ride that ended in wreck and tragedy.... Sometimes refutation is not the best response. We need to recover our ability to look at such people and tell them, in charity, that they propose madness." --Alan Keyes ______--------********O********--------______ OPINION IN BRIEF "Americans ought to be able to tell the difference between a communist and libertarian, between a dissolute person and a moral person, between a responsible person and an irresponsible person. But to do that, Americans must have standards, and apparently government schools and the news media are working diligently to make sure that Americans don't develop any standards. ...[T]here is no secret about who is pushing the society without standards. It's all those people who would be in deep trouble if people had standards -- talentless bimbos, goofballs pretending to be artists, dissolute crooks serving in public office, amoral executives promoting obscenity as entertainment. In short, the incompetent, the amoral and the immoral." --Charley Reese ______--------********O********--------______ POLITICAL FUTURES "Clinton's claim that he had to save the Constitution from the Republicans' legislative agenda is merely the easiest way to talk about the president's spectacular megalomania. It's difficult to know where to begin in explaining why his continuation in office does not rise to the level of saving the Constitution. It would be easier to explain why Ted Bundy does not rise to the level of being a good date. ..Clinton is not simply an imperfect man with questionable theories about the Constitution. He thinks he is the Constitution." --Ann Coulter ______--------********O********--------______ FOR THE RECORD In 1999, there were more than 20,000 National Day of Prayer events across our country. ______--------********O********--------______ POLICY PAGES & POINTS OF INTEREST (NOTE: For our subscribers with WWW access, if the URL line breaks, please select, copy and paste the entire link address into your browser's target address field.)
