Christian Historian David Barton to Speak in OKC on Tuesday

Noted Christian historian David Barton, president of WallBuilders in Aledo, Texas, will be speaking tomorrow night, Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University, in the Hardeman Auditorium, inside the Garvey Center.

Barton, who has been well-known within evangelical Christian circles for decades, is now gaining nationwide exposure because of his role as a American history teacher and consultant to popular radio broadcaster and FOX News personality Glenn Beck.

Ticket prices for Tuesday's presentation by Barton are a suggested $50 per person, $75 for a couple, or $100 for an unlimited number of family members. Organizers, however, are willing to accept a lower contribution to attend if tight finances are a concern for some Oklahoma families.

Restoring Honor 8-28 Rally is Tomorrow

Well, Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally, scheduled for August 28 in Washington, D.C., at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, is almost here!

Hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans, Liberty lovers, and Tea Party activists, including numerous Oklahomans, are now headed to the nation's capital on buses chartered from all across this great land. They'll hear some inspiring speakers, including broadcaster Glenn Beck, civil rights activist and niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Dr. Alveda King, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, among many others.

Not going to the Rally you say?

Not to worry. It's still unclear whether or not C-SPAN on cable TV will be able to broadcast the live event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CDT. You may be able to see it there. However, we've just learned you can watch a live stream of the Restoring Honor Rally on Facebook on your computer beginning Saturday morning. Just do a search on Facebook for Restoring Honor Rally and then click on the live upstream tab.

May God bless this wonderful event, the United States of America, and all the untold millions of people gathered for it everywhere!

Does the NYC Mosque Symbolize Tolerance or Conquest?

Recently, we posted an entry about the new federal health care mandate enacted by Congress and the Obama Administration. We said current events, like the controversy over the proposed mosque in NYC, are, unfortunately, taking our national focus away from the disastrous health care bill.

That said, it doesn't mean the proposed NYC mosque near Ground Zero isn't an important issue, as this article by historian William J. Federer clearly points out. It's a column containing a history lesson that all Americans should contemplate.

As Federer suggests we should rightly question, is the proposed mosque to be built in NYC (which already has 140 mosques in the area) simply an admirable expression of American religious freedom and tolerance or, in the worldwide Muslim mind, of the Islamic conquest of America?
