Ronald Reagan
Tale til nationen den 23. december 1981 om juletiden og situationen i Polen
Ved juletid iklæder hvert hjem sig en særlig skønhed, en særlig varme, og det samme kan helt
sikkert siges om Det Hvide Hus, hvor så mange berømte amerikanere har tilbragt deres jul
igennem årene. Dette fine gamle hjem, folkets hus, har set så meget og været så stor en del af
alle vores liv og vores historie. Det har gjort os ydmyge, og det har været inspirerende for
Nancy og mig at tilbringe vores første jul på dette sted.
Vi har boet her som jeres lejere i næsten et år nu, og hvilket år det har været. Som nation har vi
været igennem temmelig meget - - øjeblikke med glæde, med tragedier, og med ægte bedrifter
og virkelige fremskridt – øjeblikke som, jeg tror, har bragt os alle nærmere hinanden.

G.K. Chesterton sagde engang ”at verden vil aldrig lide under mangel på vidundere, kun
forundringen over vidundere”
På denne særlige tid af året fornyer vi alle vores evne til forundring, ved at erindre historien om
den første jul i Betlehem for næsten 2000 år siden.
Nogle fejrer julen som fødselsdagen for en stor og god filosof og lærer. Andre af os tror på
guddommeligheden ved barnet født i Betlehem, at han var og er den lovede Fredsfyrste. Ja, vi
har stillet spørgsmål til, hvorfor han, der kunne udføre mirakler, valgte at komme iblandt os
som en hjælpeløs baby, men måske var det hans første mirakel, hans første store lektie- at vi
måtte lære at drage omsorg for hinanden.
I aften, i millionvis af amerikanske hjem, er gløden fra juletræet en reflektion af den kærlighed,
Jesus lærte os om. Ligesom hyrderne og de vise mænd fra denne første jul har vi amerikanere
altid forsøgt at følge et højere lys, en stjerne, om du vil. Ved ensomme lejrbål langs grænserne
til uudforskede områder, i de mørkeste dage under ”Den store depression”, igennem krig og
fred har de to tvillinge-ledestjerner af tro og frihed oplyst den amerikanske himmel. Til tider
har vores fodtrin måske nok vaklet, men med tillid til Guds hjælp er vi aldrig faret vild.
Lige tværs hen over vejen fra Det Hvide Hus står de to store symboler på denne juletid: En
Menorah, der symboliserer den jødiske Channukah festival, og det nationale juletræ, en smuk
blå gran fra Pennsylvania, der tårner sig op. Lige som det nationale juletræ er vores land en
levende og voksende organisme plantet i rig amerikansk jord. Kun vores hengivne omsorg kan

Labour: We must 'do God’ to fight anti-Christian persecution
Douglas Alexander, Labour's shadow foreign secretary, says politicians should speak out about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, and not be put off doing so for fear of causing offence
Picture: © Copyright 2013 Douglas Alexander MP. All Rights Reserved.
"The Labour Party has admitted that politicians should stop feeling a “sense of embarrassment” about discussing God.
Douglas Alexander, a senior frontbencher, suggested that public figures have allowed “political correctness” to prevent them talking about faith and the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
In a thinly-veiled attack on the Tony Blair era, when Alastair Campbell, the then communications director in Downing Street, said “we don’t do God”, Mr Alexander warned that people should have the courage to speak up for Christians without fear of causing offence.
Mr Alexander, the shadow foreign secretary, spoke out to voice his concerns about growing harassment and attacks suffered by Christians in the Middle East.
Writing in the Telegraph, he warns that the mounting persecution of Christians is a “story that goes largely untold”, describing those who have spoken out on the issue, including the Prince of Wales, as lone voices."

"First it was the airport at Bangui where we found some of the 35,000 who aid groups say are living (very) rough there among the hangars and planes.
A couple of days later we were in the Bangui monastery in the mud and human excrement – 15,000 at least there.
Today UNESCO said that there were 20,000 at the Don Bosco Catholic educational institute.
As we walked around with one of their staff he said casually there are at least 20 such sites around this town where Christians stay because they are terrified of the Muslim Seleka militia still going house to house by night looking for people to kill. Don Bosco is by far the best organised of these places.
They have speakers rigged up by locals so children can skip around and dance. So they can forget.
There’s a football pitch where the inevitable Arsenal-shirted lads are showing their fluid step-over skills in 35c of equatorial humidity (I could barely breathe) and what is it about the preponderance of Arsenal tops here anyway? "

Nelson Mandela's shining example and his political legacy of non-violence and the condemnation of all forms of racism will continue to inspire people around the world for many years to come."
Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, in a statement: "Barbara and I mourn the passing of one of the greatest believers in freedom we have had the privilege to know. As President, I watched in wonder as Nelson Mandela had the remarkable capacity to forgive his jailers following 26 years of wrongful imprisonment - setting a powerful example of redemption and grace for us all. He was a man of tremendous moral courage, who changed the course of history in his country."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement: "Nelson Mandela was of the most honorable figures of our time. He was the father of his people, a man of vision, a freedom fighter who rejected violence. He set a personal example for his people in the long years he spent in prison. He was never arrogant. He worked to mend the tears in South African society and with his character managed to prevent outbursts of racial hatred. He will be remembered as the father of new South Africa and as an outstanding moral leader."
Former U.S. President George W. Bush, in a statement: "President Mandela was one of the great forces for freedom and equality of our time. He bore his burdens with dignity and grace, and our world is better off because of his example. This good man will be missed, but his contributions will live on forever."
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny: "The name Mandela stirred our conscience and our hearts. It became synonymous with the pursuit of dignity and freedom across the globe. Today, a great light has been extinguished. The boy from the Transkei has finished his long walk. His journey transformed not just South Africa, but humanity itself. As we mark his passing, we give thanks for the gift of Nelson Mandela. We ask that his spirit continues to inspire, guide and enlighten us as we strive to bring freedom and dignity to the family of man, our brothers and sisters, across the world.""

OPINION
"Leonard Sax: Blame Parents, Not Kids, for Sexting
If mom and dad installed monitoring software on their middle-schoolers' phones, it would make a big difference.
By LEONARD SAX
Oct. 24, 2013 6:50 p.m. ET
Earlier this year I visited a school in turmoil. It began with two students: a sixth-grade girl who I'll call Emily, and her 14-year-old boyfriend, who I'll call Justin. Justin begged Emily to send him some photos. "Nothing raunchy," he said. Their parents would never know, he promised.
Emily did as he asked in the privacy of her bedroom. She pulled down her shirt to reveal the curve of her breast. (Like many other 12-year-old girls nowadays, she could easily pass for 15.)
Justin promised Emily that nobody else would ever see the photos, and it seems he meant to keep that promise. But Justin left his phone unattended at a party, and another boy, we'll call him Brett, picked up Justin's phone, scrolled through the photos, and saw the ones Emily had sent. Brett forwarded the photos of Emily from Justin's phone to his phone, and then posted the photos on Instagram, using an account with a fictitious name."

"If the U.S. does not commit to providing the weapons or other aid quickly, “we will go elsewhere,” Faily ( Iraqi Ambassador to the US) said. That means Iraq will step up diplomacy with nations like China or Russia that would be more than happy to increase their influence in Baghdad at U.S. expense."

"For Gud og fædreland: Geronimo EKIA"
”For Gud og fædreland
melder jeg at Geronimo er neutraliseret. Geronimo EKIA.”
Radiomelding
fra amerikansk SEAL-soldat, som tog del i operationen mod Bin Laden, til hans
militære øverstbefalende Admiral McRaven få minutter efter Bin Laden blev skudt
og dræbt. Sted: Bin Ladens Compund (hus) i
Abbottabad i Pakistan, 2. sal. Dato: 2. maj cirka en time efter midnat
lokal tid. Geronimo var kodeordet for Osama Bin Laden. EKIA betyder enemy
killed in action – fjende dræbt i kamp. Citatet er fra bogen ”En svær dag”. Forfatter:
Mark Owen. People’s Press. 2012. Engelsk originaltitel: ”No easy day”

Tale af præsident Obama om Osama Bin Laden

God aften. I aften kan jeg rapportere til det amerikanske folk og til verden, at De Forenede Stater har gennemført en operation, der dræbte Osama Bin Laden, lederen af al Qaeda og en terrorist, der var ansvarlig for drabene på tusindvis af uskyldige mænd, kvinder og børn.
Det er næsten 10 år siden, at en klar septemberdag blev formørket af det værste angreb på det amerikanske folk i vores historie. Billederne fra 9/11 er ætset ind i vores nationale hukommelse – kaprede fly, som skærer sig igennem en skyfri september himmel, tvillingetårnene, som kollapser ned på jorden, sort røg der stiger op fra Pentagon, vraget af Flight 93 i Shanksville i Pennsylvania, hvor modige borgeres handlinger reddede os fra endnu mere hjertesorg og ødelæggelse.
Og dog ved vi, at de værste billeder er dem, som verden ikke så. Den tomme stol ved middagsbordet. Børn, som blev tvunget til at vokse op uden deres mor eller deres far. Forældre som aldrig vil opleve følelsen af deres barns omfavnelse. Næsten 3000 borgere blev taget fra os og efterlod et gabende hul i vores hjerter. Den 11. september 2001 midt i vores sorg fandt det amerikanske folk sammen. Vi tilbød vores naboer en hjælpende hånd, og vi tilbød de sårede vores blod. Vi bekræftede på ny vores bånd til hinanden og vores kærlighed til fællesskabet i vores lokalsamfund og til vores land. På den dag – ligegyldigt hvor vi kom fra, hvilken Gud vi bad til eller hvilken race eller etnicitet vi tilhørte – var vi forenede som én amerikansk familie. ................

"According to the World Health Organization, “Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.”Female genital mutilation violates the rights of women to life, health and bodily integrity, non-discrimination, and the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. In addition, since the practice predominantly affects girls under 18, it also violates children’s rights to health, life, physical integrity, and non-discrimination."

For all the argument about that, America's biggest problem today is a consensus that is as broad as the Republic and as deep as the Grand Canyon, and the consensus is we should have a large, generous, omnipresent, omniprovident welfare state and not pay for it. Everyone's agreed on this. The costs should be fobbed off on future generations." Read the rest in:

God aften. I

Stater har gennemført en operation, der dræbte Osama Bin Laden, lederen af al
Qaeda og en terrorist, der var ansvarlig for drabene på tusindvis af uskyldige
mænd, kvinder og børn.
Det er
næsten 10 år siden, at en klar septemberdag blev formørket af det værste angreb
på det amerikanske folk i vores historie. Billederne fra 9/11 er ætset ind i
vores nationale hukommelse – kaprede fly, som skærer sig igennem en skyfri
september himmel, tvillingetårnene, som kollapser ned på jorden, sort røg der
stiger op fra Pentagon, vraget af Flight 93 i Shanksville i Pennsylvania, hvor
modige borgeres handlinger reddede os fra endnu mere hjertesorg og ødelæggelse.
Og dog ved
vi, at de værste billeder er dem, som verden ikke så. Den tomme stol ved
middagsbordet. Børn, som blev tvunget til at vokse op uden deres mor eller
deres far. Forældre som aldrig vil opleve følelsen af deres barns omfavnelse.
Næsten 3000 borgere blev taget fra os og efterlod et gabende hul i vores
hjerter. Den 11. september 2001 midt i vores sorg fandt det amerikanske folk
sammen. Vi tilbød vores naboer en hjælpende hånd, og vi tilbød de sårede vores
blod. Vi bekræftede på ny vores bånd til hinanden og vores kærlighed til fællesskabet
i vores lokalsamfund og til vores land. På den dag – ligegyldigt hvor vi kom
fra, hvilken Gud vi bad til eller hvilken race eller etnicitet vi tilhørte –
var vi forenede som én amerikansk familie.
Takket være
vores militær og fagfolkene i vores terrorisme-bekæmpelse har vi henover de
seneste 10 år gjort store fremskridt på den front. Vi har
forpurret terrorangreb og styrket beskyttelsen af vores hjemland. I Afghanistan
har vi fjernet Taliban regeringen, som havde forsynet Bin Laden med støtte og
et sikkert tilflugtssted. Og rundt omkring på kloden arbejdede vi sammen vores
venner og allierede for at fange eller dræbe snesevis af al Qaeda terrorister,
heriblandt flere, som var en del af 9/11 sammensværgelsen.
Men
alligevel undgik Osama bin Laden tilfangetagelse og undslap ind i Pakistan over
den afghanske grænse. I mellemtiden
fortsatte al Qaeda med at operere hen over og langs denne grænse og operere
gennem sine partnere rundt omkring i verden.
Så kort tid
efter jeg indtog dette embede, beordrede jeg Leon Panetta, lederen af CIA, til
at gøre drabet eller tilfangetagelsen af Bin Laden til topprioriteten i vores
krig mod al Qeada, selv mens vi fortsatte vores bredere indsats for at
forstyrre, afvikle og besejre hans netværk.

A JUST INTEGRATION SOLUTION: HOW EVANGELICALS AND IMMIGRANTS CAN PARTNER IN HEALING OUR NATION.
A JUST INTEGRATION SOLUTION: HOW EVANGELICALS AND IMMIGRANTS CAN
PARTNER IN HEALING OUR NATION.
BY Rev. Samuel Rodriguez
"On the other hand, immigrants must
understand that what makes one an
American is nothing less than an
allegiance and covenant with the
values of our Constitution, Declaration
of Independence and Bill of
Rights. Internalization and adherence to
those values obligates the immigrant to
embrace English as our language, focus
on our commonalities, and respect the
symbols of our Republic including the
American flag, while simultaneously
assimilating into the fullness of Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, the
American idea. "
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez
President of the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Conference
http://www.nhclc.org/files/nhclc/PS%20Article.pdf
"
CNN named Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, “The leader of the Hispanic Evangelical movement”. The Wall St. Journal identified him as one of America’s 7 most influential Hispanic Leaders, and the only religious leader on the list.

1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 6 He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. 7 And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.
8 In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy. "
