Kentucky Church Bans Interracial Marriage

Wow, I thought we were past this garbage, but apparently not as a small Kentucky church has banned marriages and even some worship services for interracial couples. The Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church, located in Pike County, Kentucky voted as a response to a longtime member who is engaged to a man whose birthplace is in Zimbabwe.

Showing better sense are other local church leaders who were pretty quick to denounce the Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church's vote. "It's not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form," Randy Johnson, president of the Pike County Ministerial Association, told the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The small congregation, which usually hosts about 40 members each Sunday, held the vote after longtime member Stella Harville, brought her fiancé Ticha Chikuni to church with her in June. The couple performed a song together at the church in which Chikuni sang "I Surrender All," while Harville played the piano. Chikuni, 29, who works at Georgetown College, is black--and Harville, who was baptized at the church but is not an active member, is white. Dean Harville, Stella's father, said he was told by the church's former pastor Melvin Thompson that his daughter and her fiancé were not allowed to sing at the church again. However, Thompson recently stepped down and the church's new pastor, Stacy Stepp, said the couple was once again welcome to sing.

Stepp's decision prompted Thompson to put forth a recommendation saying that while all members are welcome at the church, it does not "condone" interracial marriage, and that any interracial couples would not be received as members or allowed to participate in worship services. The only exception? Funerals.

The Churches recommendation:

That the Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church does not condone interracial marriage. Parties of such marriages will not be received as members, nor will they be used in worship services and other church functions, with the exception being funerals. All are welcome to our public worship services. This recommendation is not intended to judge the salvation of anyone, but is intended to promote greater unity among the church body and the community we serve.

Members of the church held a vote on the recommendation with nine voting in favor and six voting against. The remainder of the church goers chose not to vote - which reminds me of the quoted, "The only things that allows Evil to Triumph is for Good Men to go nothing."

In the day and age of a large scale Governmental campaign (thanks liberals) to diminish the Christian faith and regulate the Christian foundation of this Country, the last thing we need are bigoted Christian Churches.

Federal Debt in Perspective

This was sent to Cowboys and attributed to an article from Global Research

To understand the U.S. financial position, just remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget.


Then is would look something like this in numbers the average American (including me) can understand:



Annual family income: $21,700

Money the family spent: $38,200

New debt on the credit card: $16,500

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710

The U.S. is trying to bring their budget under control. This year they implemented total budget cuts of $385. Assuming they don’t spend more than they raise in taxes, it will take them 370 years to pay back this debt.

The bi-partisan U.S. Super Committee is currently discussing proposals to cut spending by $12,000 over 10 years.

At $1,200 in saving per year and assuming they balance the budget, it will then take them a mere 119 year to pay back the debt.

That should clarify the position......what position is that?........SNAFU and FUBAR.

Weapons For Mexico

If you listening to Obama and his minions you would think that American gun dealers are responsible for arming the Mexican Cartels. We have all come to know that the biggest American source of weapons for the Cartels is the (run amok) Justice Department using their ATF assets to smuggle guns to Mexico. But we have long said that the biggest suppliers of weapons is from other world sources such as the old Warsaw Pact countries and other third world countries. Here is an article from Fox News articulating that:

Mexican authorities make record arms seizure, FOX News, November 28, 2011

Mexico City – A shipping container with 900 firearms hidden inside was seized by authorities in the Mexican Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas, the Navy Secretariat and the Attorney General's Office said in a joint statement.

The container arrived in Mexico from Turkey and was bound for Nicaragua.

The record arms seizure was made in an operation involving marines, AG's office personnel and customs service agents in Lazaro Cardenas, which is in the western state of Michoacan.

Authorities found 154 9 mm pistols, a 7.55 mm pistol and 756 12-gauge shotguns inside the container.

The container and its cargo were turned over to federal prosecutors, who will conduct the investigation.

The operation was part of a larger effort to crack down on arms trafficking and prevent drug traffickers and other organized crime groups from acquiring weapons, the AG's office and the Navy Secretariat said.
