SCARBOROUGH DECRIES OBAMA’S AMNESTY – SAYS ADMINISTRATION ACTS LIKE A REGIME
Jun 19, 2012
by: Rick Scarborough
Regarding President Obama’s decision to unilaterally enact parts of the so-called DREAM Act by executive order, Vision America Action President Dr. Rick Scarborough recalled: “At a town hall meeting last March, the president said: ‘With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportation through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed…we’ve got three branches of government.’ But Mr. Obama increasingly acts if there was just one branch.”

Letter to the Editor Response to Pastor Ken Gurley
Sep 20, 2010
by: Rick Scarborough
I’m saddened that Pastor Ken Gurley misinterprets my message. In his posting of September 18, 2010, Pastor Gurley suggests that I’m calling on pastors to be politically active for the sake of politics – that I view preachers as just another constituency to be mobilized and activated to achieve my political goals. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am not – and let me be clear about this – calling on preachers to be involved in politics for the sake of politics – but for Jesus’ sake.

Palin Defeats Biden the Old Fashion Way
Oct 03, 2008
by: Richard Scarborough
OCTOBER 3, 20008-- Vision America Director Rick Scarborough is available for Talk Show interviews to discuss how Faith Voters are united in their view that Governor Sarah Palin clearly defeated Joe Biden in last night’s debate. The following is a statement from Rick Scarborough: “The gloves were off and the pundits stepped aside while the two Vice Presidential candidates took center stage for their only planned debate, and what a revelation Americans received. Instead of the Saturday Night Live version of Sarah Palin, what America saw was the Monday morning Sarah, an every day person who got fed up with politicians cramming money in their own pockets while spending their life getting re-elected saying whatever people want to hear, and decided to do something about it.

Montana Law Disdains the First Amendment
Aug 04, 2008
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – Today, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in a case that could further destroy the First Amendment’s protection of speech for pastors. In 2004, the Montana Commissioner of Political Practices investigated the Canyon Ferry Road Baptist Church after a homosexual activist group filed a complaint. The group claimed the church violated Montana law because it supported a proposed state marriage amendment without registering as a political committee. The commissioner agreed with the complaint and the church then decided to stand up for its rights and filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of the law.

I don’t think a conservative can ask more than that from a member of the mainstream media.â€

Califonia Decision Denying a Stay of Marriage Ruling Called a "Crime against Democracy"
Jun 04, 2008
Vision America President Dr. Rick Scarborough called today’s decision of the California Supreme Court – denying a motion for a stay of its infamous May 15 gay marriage decision – “a affront to democracy.†Said Scarborough, “I don’t know why they don’t just hang a sign outside the California Supreme Court building that says: “Until further notice, representative government hereby suspended by court order.†Scarborough added: “Two weeks ago, the California high court created a ‘right’ to homosexual marriage out of thin air. In so doing, the majority declared unconstitutional a 2000 referendum for a statue providing that marriage in California consists only of the union of a man and a woman.â€

Vision America President Dr. Rick Scarborough called the certification of the California Marriage Protection Act (a constitutional amendment) for the November ballot, “a victory for the family, democracy and sanity.†On May 15, the California Supreme Court imposed same-sex marriage on the largest state in the country. Unlike Massachusetts, the other “gay marriage†state, California has no waiting period or residency requirement for marriage. Homosexual couples will flock there for a ceremony and a piece of paper, and return home to challenge state marriage laws with ensuing chaos.

Barack Obama Distinguished by Lack of Experience and Inveterate Liberalism
Jun 04, 2008
Commenting on the fact that Sen. Barack Obama has now secured his party’s presidential nomination, Vision America President Dr. Rick Scarborough observed: “We don’t know a lot about Sen. Obama’s plans for America. On the campaign trail, he has mostly spoken in generalities. What we do know is that, if elected, he would be the least experienced man to occupy the White House in at least the last 100 years. We also know that by every conceivable measure, the charismatic Senator is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal.â€
