The Baptist Edition Part I
If the Baptist edition of Freedom Quotes offends you, then just move along.
We shall do well, both as citizens and as Christians, if we will hark back to the chief actors and lessons in the early and epoch-making struggles of this great western democracy, for the full establishment of civil and religious liberty - back to the days of Washington and Jefferson and Madison, and back to the days of our Baptist fathers, who have paid such a great price, through the long generations, that liberty, both religious and civil, might have free course and be glorified everywhere.
- George W. Truett
All who know much of the Baptist denomination must have regretted that so few are acquainted with its early history...it remains a matter of great surprise that our own congregations should be, for the most part, uninstructed in the past doings of our body.
- Charles H. Spurgeon
The Mennonites [Anabaptists] consider themselves as the descendants of the Waldenses....The mennonites are not entirely in error when they boast of their descent from the Waldenses, Petrobrussians, and other ancient sects....Before the rise of Luther and Calvin, there lay concealed in almost all the countries of Europe, who adhered tenaciously to the following doctrine which the Waldensians, Wycliffites, and the Hussites had maintained....
- John Lawrence Moshiem, German Reformed historian
I should not readily admit that there was a Baptist church as far back as 100 AD, although without doubt there were Baptist churches then, as all Christians were then Baptists.
- John Clark Ridpath, Methodist historian
There shall be no faith more certain and true, than is the Anabaptists, seeing there be none now, or have been before time fore ye space of these thousand and two hundred years, who have been more cruelly punished, or that have more stoutly, steadfastly, cheerfully take their punishment, yea or have offered themselves of their own accord to death, were it never so terrible or grievous. Yea in Saint Augustine his time, as he himself saith, there was a certain monstrous desire of death in them. [Rewritten using modern spellings]
- Stanisslaus Hosius, Roman Catholic theologian, president of the Council of Trent

European Parliament to ban Eurosceptic groups
By Bruno Waterfield/TELEGRAPH(UK)
Plans to eliminate Eurosceptics as an organised opposition within the European Parliament are expected to be agreed by a majority of MEPs this summer.
The European Union assembly’s political establishment is pushing through changes that will silence dissidents...Under the rule change, the largest and most pro-EU groups would tighten their grip on the Parliament’s political agenda and keep control of lavish funding. Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, claimed that the move goes hand in hand with the denial of popular votes on the new EU Treaty.

WASHINGTON'S CULTURE OF DECEPTION
By Chuck Baldwin/NewsWithViews.com
One thing I do believe to be true, however, is this: Unless the American people begin demanding that their civil magistrates uphold their oaths to the Constitution, and until the American people rid themselves of this blind loyalty to the two major political parties, we are going to be continually subjected to "Washington's Culture of Deception."

Iraqi Christians Warn of 'New Catastrophe for Humanity'
By Patrick Goodenough
CNSNews.com International Editor
Iraq's Assyrians are a non-Arab ethnic minority located mainly in northeastern Iraq, and adherents of Christian denominations including the Chaldean Catholic and Syriac Orthodox churches. A 1987 census recorded 1.4 million Christians in Iraq, but the numbers began to drop after the 1990 Gulf War, reaching around 800,000 before the U.S. invaded in March 2003.

Memorial Day, 2008: Remembering Our Foundations
By Virginia Armstrong, Ph.D.,
As America remembers those who have offered the ultimate sacrifice for all of us, we would do well to remind ourselves of the truths upon which our nation was founded-truths for which millions of Americans have suffered or died. No enemy has been more vicious in undermining these truths, our foundations, than runaway Humanist/Reconstructionist judges, made safe from harm in their cozy courtrooms by our troops fighting for the very truths Reconstructionists oppose. Here is a brief summary of three such truths as expressed by some of America's Founders and other leaders.

Instead of posting a lot of videos here on the Swamp Fox Files, I have created a video only blog to post all the Chuck Baldwin videos that I come across. You can view it by clicking here; it is called Baptists For Chuck Baldwin.
Here's a list and links of the videos I have up thus far:
Baldwin on the National Debt
Baldwin on the sanctity of life
If I were president, parts 1 & 2
Baldwin on immigration/border issues
Baldwin on military issues
Baldwin asked about 9/11
Baldwin answers questions about 'medical marijuana' and foreign policy
Why vote for Baldwin instead of the Democratic or Republican nominees?

MEMORIAL DAY 2008
On this Memorial Day of 2008, I won't spend any time politicizing the day, nor will I remind you of a myriad of causes and goals. I just ask that you remember, while it is nice to remember and thanks those who have served in our military to protect and defend us, that Memorial Day is not for the living. The Living have their days - Veterans Day, Independence Day, Armed Forces Day, etc. Only one day is set aside for those who never made it home - Memorial Day.
Remember those who died while serving, and for those who are still listed as POW/MIA.
Last year I wrote a tribute to the real meaning of Memorial Day. You can read it by clicking here.
