romney and ryan suggest re-electing the president will threaten the judeo-christian foundations of americaas you know, but isn't the truth that if we don't re-elect this president, then 50 million people will lose their health care, 23 million americans will lose the only assistance they have, and when they repeal dodd/frank, wall street just down the road from here will go back to the criminal and fraudulent practices of the past. that's the real apocalypse, isn't it? >> that is the real apocalypse and as an ordained christian minister for the last 30 years, i can tell you if what mitt romney and paul ryan represent are the judeo-christians, i have just now converted to islam. the reality is in america that we are part of a tradition that ought to be concerned about the least, the lost, the lonely, those who are vulnerable. are jesus said visit those who are in prison, deal with the widow, talk to those who are poor heal the lepers. it seems president obama has carried out an agenda of social justice entrenched in. >> you d. >> you dayow christian reason. this suggesting he's not part of

if we're talking about judeo-chjudeo judeo-christians.hat went on catholic bishops. they said this a not a moral document because it backs on the poor and the works class. >> in one letter they said this was akin to ayn rand and not christ. >> if anyone is going against the grain of judeo-christian values it's in fact paul ryan. >> indeed. there have been attempts to defend the president. one is bill clinton. take a listen to this. >> as you can see, i have given my voice in the service of my president. >> now, i have to ask you. that's a former president referring to the current incumbent as my president. >> yeah. >> does that say to you that bill clinton knows what this game is, he knows what these republicans have been doing, and he's standing up for the president. >> he's standing up for the president on a lot of levels. there was a lot of tension between. president obama and president clinton in the 2008 campaign. you remember mitt romney tried many times and so did paul ryan to drive a wedge between the president -- between the pres

those judeo-christian western civilization values that made us such a great nation in the first place. i think this paul ryan guy has gotten off the crazy end here. when you talk about obama, they call him the colonial kenyan or whatever nonsense. who is this barbarian? and the fact that ralph reed with his record, who's he to talk about this moral issue? what's going on here? >> that's right. i mean, you saw some of this rhetoric in the primary with rick perry saying that obama was a threat to christian values. you've seen this from newt gingrich going back to when he was up against bill clinton. somehow they're in with god and democrats aren't. i think what obama has done to counter this idea that he is somehow other is he's out there all the time. he's in our living rooms, out there with his family and his wife. seeming like the president and first lady next door. and in that way i think most people see this for what it is. they are trying to rally the baseball ryan on this call with evangelicals. so i think in some ways it does rally evangelicals but it also rallies progressives.

paul ryan says it is a path the president's path is one that compromises those values, those judeo christian values that made us a great nation in the first place. >> yeah. i mean i think if you're mitt romney right now, you're wondering what it's going to take. there's -- you're throwing a lot of stuff against the wall. i think it speaks to the lack of a consistent strategy and really prosecuting a consistent case against the president. they've just been all over the place in a lot of things and seeing that down to the wire. >> i think going to social issues, too, is interesting, because they've been losing on the economy. he i mean last friday's job numbers came in very good, four months of strong growth so that card is gone and sandy really gave the president a leg up. i mean it wasn't one that you would have wished for but showing there is a role for government, hey, we need to help each other, that strengthens the president's position. >> and maybe god is involved after all. maybe god sent that storm to let obama go up in christie. >> the storm narrative is becoming something that senio

i think that a lot of this hysteria about being naked stems from very very strict judeo christian bodily morals and norms that treat nudity and be uncovered and. on and on what held human form as simple and you know having the potential to lead to moral downfall i mean it really stems from the beginning of the hebrew bible in which sin was associated with nudity the out of a news story victoria because to say thank you so much for being with us thank you is a pleasure now everything you know about going on out here all is right. every year after thanksgiving the nation's wealthy elite still fat bellied from turkey and stuffing tune into their local news outlets and observe what has become an annual tradition of a love letting and frenzied consumerism we call it a lack friday but to those like the wal-mart heirs who together own more wealth than the bottom forty percent of our nation combined it might as well be called their very own hunger games it's their stories after all the play host to this one day battle waged by poor and working class people to get discounted appliances clothes an

it is a board that says judeo-christian values have no place in this world. it is a war this is no cultural is better than any other. no one said about his, no one model worth aspiring to. it is a war that encourages, fosters, harbors and empowers radical islam. it is a war whose casualty will ultimately be the western world. mark my words, our war is with these people as much as it is with those whose extremism altered the events of september 11. america is the one hope of the world, the only shield, the only protection. the one bloodline that we must make sure together no enemy can cross. it has the model. it has the values. it has to culture. it has the freedom, and it has the constitution. see, america is a conservative idea in a sea of socialism. american values our conservative values. america favors the individual. patriotism and e. pluribus unum the radical multicultural. israel to palestine, christianity to government, capitalism to markets, and where the rest of the world considers only government employees worthy of being armed, america was founded

conference call with the christian coalition and said obama was leading us down a path away from judeo christian religion, one of the most obscene comments i have heard. if they resort to that, face it. that is inexcusable. >> greg: did he accuse a candidate of killing somebody? >> bob: i don'tthe obama did that. >> kimberly: there goes bob's frontal lobe again. >> dana: suggesting revenge half of the country when obama said it friday. >> eric: joe biden said romney would put you back in chains. >> greg: i don't approve on either side. >> dana: we'll talk about the gallup poll in another segment. >> greg: now? >> dana: you don't have enough time. >> greg: why did you bring it up? >> dana: it's called a tease. >> greg: directly ahead, campaign carl cameron. we have a new strategy to win ohio. on election day, you'll hear what it is, upcoming! ♪ ♪ >> tomorrow, we begin a new tomorrow. tomorrow, we begin a better tomorrow. this nation will begin to change for the better tomorrow. ♪ you know that i know what real change looks like because you see me fight for it. i have the scars to prove it. the gr

it is evident the time for sacrifice with the judeo-christian values is near. with the notions of birth control sex education sterilization and gay-rights , looking at these we're reminded the signals of the change the way that we see first the most imperative -- important and the smoke does not impose a locomotive. and seems to be the championship they call for the lowering of of birthrate that is the first of national decline. also for the lowering of requirements for citizenship ago the definition is example of american exceptional was some. that we are the first of the world it has defined rights and obligations which doesn't have over indonesia or china and what rights does american enjoy and syria? what obligation to the french nation? it destroys our understanding of the term and weakens us as a citizen. since then according to greatest access of prosperity but history have been in decline this is inevitable and nothing lasts forever. one may be a healthy age to find the straight to reasonably consider the options this is designed to make a moral choice

chief of staffee wants chafee wants to ignore and build a more conclusive tradition where judeo-christianhilosophy is tamped down. that's the big picture. that's what it is all about. the seq. could you -- secular progressives want a new america and christians are not a part of it. last night we were able to talk with governor chafeee and i admire him for coming on because he knows i'm pretty fed up with his point of view. so, governor, a holiday tree? a holiday tree, really, governor? what's the tradition of a holiday tree? where does the holiday tree come from? >> well, last year when the subject came up about what we're going to do this time of year, i said just do what the previous governor did, we're not going to change anything. and that's what we did. somehow this has all erupted into some kind of controversy but i did what the previous governor did, call it a holiday tree. and the governor before him. this goes back to the 1990s. >> bill: all right, do you know the traditions of the tree and why it is used around the christmas season? do you know where that came from? >> i have he

capitalism works because there's a judeo-christian basis, because it says take care of people with integrityned in russia. >> sean: for example, if somebody is a virgin till they're married they're considered odd. people in greater numbers live together. >> right. >> sean: abortion on demand is settled, at least according to the polls -- you add gaymarriag. you're a pastor. those are things you disagree with, right? >> absolutely i disagree with. what i don't agree with is that the way to stop them is law. i tell you why. because by the time something gets into the water, it's already downstream. politics is always downstream from culture. when you start making a law to stop this, stop that, it's already in the culture. >> sean: you met president obama back in 2008. i know you don't like to get in politics. just say you don't want to answer if you don't want to answer. what do you think of him, how he's governed? >> i think

non-american who disdains judeo christian values and hands out three telephones, failed.ery lesson they have had to learn? >> one can only hope. this is what the republicans were hoping. they were hoping that folks would believe their tales about the president, but as we saw in poll after poll after poll, the president's job approval rating was low, his handling ofhelow, do you actually like this person personally, the president's approval numbers were through the roof. >> and do you trust this president? do you trust him? >> yes, yes, that was the other thing. know barack obama. they know what he for, where he wanted to take the country. the other problem for the republicans is they didn't come back wit aso, you know, what hat night was bound to happen. >> well, to jonathan's point, d happened? let's listen to the great charles krout hammer. >> i think the real story here is obama won but he has no mandate. he won by going very small, very negative. and we are left as a country exactly where we started but a little worse off. i think that the future of the party is quite

path that grows government, restricts freedom and liberty, and compromises those values, those judeo-christian values that made us such a great and exceptional nation in the first place. lee, what is mr. ryan really trying to say here? >> well, i think that i would flip it on them and ask them to maybe travel to new jersey, travel to new york, travel to connecticut where we had complete devastation last week with hurricane sandy and the folks that ran immediately into that problem to help, to save lives, to rebuild those communities, were public service workers. that was government at its best. that's what we do. i was in connecticut, al, a couple of days ago and i visited bridgeport, connecticut, where they had a lot of devastation, flooding. homes damaged, homes destroyed. and public service workers, the first responders, police, fire, public works department employees, they were there providing essential services to those citizens that have been affected. i would say to mitt romney and paul ryan, go to those areas and see what government workers do. see what government means in a time of cr

so i think in a nutshell he's saying the president threatens the nation's judeo-christian values.ow do you respond to that? >> this, of course, is coming from the ticket that wrote off 47% of the american electorate. like to call them a bunch of moochers -- >> not literally call them a bunch of moochers. >> but effectively. when he said they didn't want to take responsibility for their lives, and they were, you know -- it's also coming from the author of the republican budget, the catholic bishops said did not meet the moral criteria that they had set. a very harsh budget that provided big tax breaks for the wealthiest americans. people like romney, at the expense of the entire rest of the country. that's why the catholic bishops weighed in and actually commented. again, very unusual, on the ryan budget. which mitt romney has endorsed. >> real quick, there's a story in politico this morning that the house democrats are looking at maybe going from picking up five seats to possibly losing two seats. why do you think the president doesn't have coattails for house democrats? >> let's

they come from the judeo judeo-christian tradition and they are committed to human rights, human progress, rights of scbem minorities. we have a strategic bond because they stand on the front line against the islamic extremists and the terrorists in the same way that our country is vulnerable to those attacks and we have seen it. so our role as a global super power and as an ally to what i believe is our best ally in the region of israel, is that we should stand tall. we should defend israel and the court of world preponderance, whether it is in the u.n. or other international forums and insist that the real story come out. it is hamas that has been on the offensive. israel has practiced so much patience and reluctance to go into gaza, until these rockets, as you have indicated, have come into jerusalem and the escalation with rockets coming into tel aviv and other population centers there. we have an obligation. the president has an obligation, thus far, the white house has acted in a way that i believe the israelis can see that america stands by us. certainly, in the past, last couple o

in america because we have, we have had moral ethics judeo-christian ethics for many years treat the workers well. s, the society benefits. the company gives back to the society. neil: we'll take a quick break. you astutely avoided my question which i deeply admire how you did that. you did tip your hand with a comment about god and in games where you said i was at notre dame usc game where people were praying both sides would win. god didn't have an opinion on that. i thought that was very interesting. a lot of times i always ask, then why does god hate the new york mets. that is separate issue. we'll continue now with rick warren and get his view how we humanely come out of all this and still like each other. stick around neil: continuing now with pastor rick warren. rick, one of the arguments for the rich paying more in taxes, i want to talk to a man of god about this, that is expected of them. they profited and lived very well and they have to give something back. i always come back, and say, some are not paying any taxes at all, quite genuinely and comes now to a point where hal

accused the president of taking america on a dangerous path that restricts freedom and liberty and judeo-christianut that, too, didn't wash. in fact, in some states the president actually did better among white evangelicals than he did four years ago. and he also won more catholics than his republican challenger. and that should come as a relief to a nation that for decades has had to put up with politicians taking religion hostage for their own personal gain. because although the president himself sf a committed christian, it wasn't his faith that won this election.

not quite yet, but it's evident that the time for sacrifice for the sake of the country and the judeo-christian values is near. the left insistence regarding abortion, birth control, sex education, spiritual as asian, and their rights. looking at these we are reminded of the first visible signals are often mistaken for force. the most apparent. the smoke which we see first is the most intense. left similarly sense to be the champion of various causes. independent. calls for a lowering of the birthrate which is one of the first in a universal sign of national decline. see the call from the left for the lowering of abolition for requirements for citizenship. the traditional definitions of such are an egregious example of american exception was and which is to say arrogance that we are first citizens of the world. it applies in plight rights and obligations. but three, iran, china, or indonesia and what rights an american jew, gay, or woman enjoys and obligations we have to the french nation. to suggest we are citizens of the world destroys our understanding of the term and so weakens us. one migh

i mean, we are raised in a judeo-christian culture.ean, "thou shalt not kill," even for the atheists in our culture is a tenet you just do not violate unless you're, you know, crazy or a sociopath or something. and so all your young life, that's drilled into your head. and then suddenly, you know, you're 18 or 19 and they're saying, "go get 'em and kill for your country." and then you do that. and then you come back. and then it's like, "well, thou shalt not kill" again. well, believe me, that is a difficult thing to deal with. and i think what's even more difficult is that the only being that should actually take life is the one that gives life. and that's god. or the gods. and you take a young man and you put him in the role of a god where he is asked to take a life, that's something that no 19-year-old is able to handle you know, "is the infliction of death or pain on others part of it?" absolutely. because you've stepped into a role that ordinary people never taught you. >> you write in here the "lack of mature judgment" is what ma

i know we're multicultural and so on, but broadly, we're judeo-christian, we're european and african our heritage, right? we did the same thing in the cold war. deep fight -- close fight, hold it, fold it, deep fight, ideological battle with communism. but communism is a western philosophy -- tom gjelten: [affirmative] michael hayden: -- you know, written by a german in london. so we've got legitimacy talking about that. we have almost no legitimacy talking about the meeting of the koran or the hadith. the good news, jim, and i think you've suggested this in the last couple of years, is that the deep fight, such as it exists, has changed. it's not about the caliphate, it's about responsive, responsible governments, rule of law, voting procedures, and so on. we actually know something about that, and we actually have some legitimacy talking about that. and so i'm somewhat hopeful that this, all the turbulence it means for the kind of work phil and i used to do in terms of counterterrorism, for the deep look towards the horizon, opportunity. tom gjelten: okay, there's a clock over here

so if you start your political statements and equate judeo-christian heritage with american heritage, you're already telling half of the asians that you're not part of that heritage. little things like that that republicans need to think about. start with listening and not assuming and not assuming that you not only -- that you're correct, but also that the person who you're trying to talk with is somebody who automatically understands you. >> michael, very quickly on northeastern moderates. >> well, you know, some people yearn for the days of nelson rockefeller. those days are gone. you know, but at the same time pennsylvania's house dell delegation, i good believe, is g to be with the aid of creative redistricting both in this cycle and the last one is going to be 13 5 republican. so that says republicans are by no means extinct in the northeast. you've got ca combination of gentry liberals and so forth, large black populations that tilt those districts democratic. the, um, the, you know, those old professional areas, the high income voters. mitt romney did do better than john mccai

the're just trying to say judeo-christian ethic is what he once kept in the home.arack obama can prance around as "protestants" but his religion can really be found at the church he went in chicago. i do not think jesus would vote for anybody, but his teachings would lead him to vote for romney, not because he's better than anyone else, but because he follows the teachings of christ. and what i feel obama is doing. host: thank you for the call. guest: the degree to which people bring their religion to bear, i would just reiterate that many americans seem to make a distinction between too much intermingling of organized religion and organized politics. many people say would be inappropriate for clergy to endorse candidates from the pulpit. people are very uncomfortable with that kind of intermingling. at the same time, in a nation overwhelmingly comprised of believers, many people think it's appropriate for them to bring their religious values to bear in making public decisions. host: on the phone from massachusetts of the independent line. good morning. caller: and
