TFOT 092008

Guest: Tony Nassif
- Founder and President of the Cedars Cultural and Educational Foundation

Thinking It Through: TFOT Sept 6th guest was Dr. E. Calvin Beisner and the subject was 'Climate Change'. Dr. Beisner informed listeners that one of the underlying falsehoods in this agenda espoused by many environmentalist zealots is the need to limit the world's population. The word 'crowded'in Thomas Friedman's new book entitled 'Hot, Flat, and Crowded' gives credibility to Beisner's warning.

Interview: Recently the Iowa Supreme Court overturned the indecent-exposure conviction of one Ronnie James Isaac. Several women were awakened to a man 'repeating sexually explicit exclamations', moaning and knocking on windows. Police officers found Isaac outside the a window exposed and in a public act of perversion. The court overruled Isaac's conviction due to two words in the Iowa code, 'to another'. Supposedly, because there was no 'other' or no actual victim, Iowa's Supreme Court overturned Isaac's conviction. John Carlson's column in the DM Register summarizes the decision pretty well.

Nassif, author of 'Jesus, Politics and the Church' brings the correlation of our sexually deviant culture, the breakdown of the family and the rise in the molestation, abuse, and prostitution of America's children together. "We are straining gnats only to swallow camels," Nassif said of the recent ruling; explaining that the court held out over two words when the intent of the code was understood and allowed a much larger problem to exist - a sexual pervert who may likely strike again.

Nassif explained the sexual dangers awaiting too many children are no longer relegated to the big cities or inner cities, but are hurting everyday Iowans. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be molested before adulthood. Local headlines increasingly tell the story of children in Iowa being molested. Nassif says until we stop heresy in the church, return to Biblical principles and face our sins as a nation, we cannot expect these problems to be corrected. Nassif encouraged Iowans to correct the verbiage in the Iowa Code so the Supreme Court must follow the intent of the law; and said now is the time to ask candidates and incumbents how they will work to correct the ugly spiraling of our morals swirling down the drain.
