Prosperity Gospel: Did Christianity Cause the Crash?

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 02:40 PM PST

Prosperity Gospel America's mainstream religious denominations used to teach the faithful that they would be rewarded in the afterlife. But over the past generation, a different strain of Christian faith has proliferated—one that promises to make believers rich in the here and now.

Known as the prosperity gospel, and claiming tens of millions of adherents, it fosters risk-taking and intense material optimism. It pumped air into the housing bubble. And one year into the worst downturn since the Depression, it's still going strong.

Ethics Comm. Clears Another Senator

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 01:00 PM PST

The Senate Ethics Committee has cleared a Louisiana Democrat who steered a $2 million earmark to a company that had just donated tens of thousands of dollars to her campaign, marking the third time in the last few months that the panel dismisses a serious allegation against a member. 

It took nearly two years for the bipartisan U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics to absolve Senator Mary Landrieu for giving the Texas literacy firm the generous multi million-dollar federal allocation just four days after receiving $30,000 in campaign contributions from its executives and their relatives.

The earmark paid for a controversial children's reading program called Voyager Expanded Learning in District of Columbia public schools. Senator Landrieu supposedly got involved because the literacy program had been successful in her Louisiana jurisdiction and she just wanted to help students who were performing below standard in D.C.

A government watchdog group filed the complaint after reading a news report detailing the unscrupulous earmark and it took the ethics committee 22 months to respond. It its decision this week, the panel claims that it "carefully evaluated" the allegations, considers the matter to be "resolved" and "intends no further action." 

Senator Landrieu has long asserted that the complaint was "frivolous" and "wholly without merit." She simply did it for the good of the children in a state located hundreds of miles from the one she has represented in Congress for more than a decade. Appalled that three out of four D.C. fourth graders could not read at the most basic national standard, she secured the funding to help them, claiming: "Here stood our nation's capital setting the lowest of examples for the nation."

Truly touching isn't it? Like so many others before her, the veteran lawmaker benefitted from the ethic committee's addiction to exonerating offenders. In the last few months alone, two other members—Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad—have been cleared in high-profile cases. Both Democrats accepted heavily discounted mortgages from a bank (Countrywide) that folded. The unethical perk, which they referred to as a courtesy similar to frequent flyer miles, saved them tens of thousands of dollars. [...]

Major U.S. County Passes Illegal Alien Sanctuary Law

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 09:24 AM PST

A major U.S. county that has long offered illegal immigrants sanctuary and taxpayer-financed services formalized its policy this week by passing a law that prohibits public agencies and employees from asking a person's immigration status. 

With a 5-4 vote, lawmakers in Washington's King County approved the measure to officially make it an illegal immigrant sanctuary. The largely upscale Seattle-area county of about 2 million residents has long offered illegal aliens public services, including medical care at county-run clinics, and the sheriff's department has a don't-ask-don't-tell immigration policy. 

But lawmakers wanted bona fide legislation in the county books to prevent future administrations from violating the unwritten sanctuary policy. The councilman (Larry Gossett) who sponsored the sanctuary law said it's intended to discourage racial profiling and "ratchet down the fear level" when illegal immigrants seek public health services or deal with law enforcement officers. 

King County public clinics have offered illegal immigrants free medical care since 1992 and the county's Public Health Director says "denying access to care because of citizenship status is not good medicine…" A councilwoman (Julia Patterson) who voted for the sanctuary law insists she does not condone illegal immigration but says she supported the measure because she's in favor of "humane treatment and care" for the people in her community.

Hundreds of municipalities nationwide provide illegal immigrants with sanctuary and dozens have passed legislation to make it official. Among them are practically every city in California, New Haven Connecticut, Denver Colorado, Chicago Illinois, Cambridge Massachusetts, practically the entire state of New Jersey, Washington D.C. and all of Oregon, to name a few.

Judicial Watch has legally fought sanctuary policies nationwide, including Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, the District of Columbia and Phoenix. Click here to read about Judicial Watch's numerous investigations and court actions involving illegal [...]
