MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Radio host and bestselling author Gregg Jackson and a growing list of other conservative leaders, lawyers and activists are calling on Eagle Publishing to dismiss editor Jed Babbin and take immediate and decisive steps to restore the credibility of Human Events. Among the names widely known in social conservative and pro-life circles are Dr. Ted Baehr, President of Movieguide; Ambassador Alan Keyes, former Reagan appointee and presidential candidate; Dr. William Greene of RightMarch.com; Coach Dave Daubenmire, talk show host and author; and Brian Rohrbough, President of American Right to Life.
The editor of what was Ronald Reagan's favorite conservative weekly, Human Events, Babbin only recently admitted in an explosive radio interview that Mitt Romney illegally instituted same-sex "marriage" and $50 government-funded abortions. He now claims that Human Events faithfully reported these facts to their readers, but when asked to support that erroneous claim by citing specific articles in the four years since Romney's illegal orders went into effect, Babbin angrily professed not to remember and abruptly hung up, ending the interview.
Listen to Jackson's revealing 12-minute interview with Babbin here! Jackson/Babbin Interview
On numerous occasions, Jackson and others had gone to great lengths to share Romney's far left wing record with Babbin and other writers at Human Events such as Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh and John Gizzi, but they all chose to suppress Romney's radical record in Massachusetts and in doing so deceived countless conservative readers.
Also in this interview with Jackson, Babbin adamantly asserted:
* that the unalienable right to life is no more important or fundamental than the freedom of speech or the right to vote--a statement that is not merely illogical, but is an accidental admission that he is not pro-life in any meaningful sense
* that America's founding national charter, the Declaration of Independence, is not part of the Organic Law of the United States of America--despite the fact that the U.S. Code (section XXXVII - LXVII, "Organic Laws of the United States of America" ) says explicitly that it is, and despite the fact that the Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that it is (astonishingly, Babbin is a lawyer)
* that the candidate whom Human Events endorsed for President, Fred Thompson, whom Babbin claims is "solidly pro-life," had "no choice" as a lawyer other than to represent the nation's largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood
* that despite John McCain's support for taxpayer funding for both embryonic stem cell research and Planned Parenthood; despite his belief that babies in the womb do not possess a God-given unalienable right to life that no state may violate; and despite his opposition to a Human Life Amendment--the core plank of the Republican Party--McCain too is "solidly pro-life"
"For years conservatives trusted Human Events as a source of truth about what is happening in American politics," Jackson said. "Babbin's embarrassing and revealing statements in this very revealing interview are only the most recent indication of an ongoing purge of real conservatives and their replacement by social liberals posing as the heirs of the Reagan revolution," Jackson continued.
"As people listen to this interview, we expect awareness of the sad state of Human Events to spread through the grassroots just as the facts about Mitt Romney did, despite a concerted effort by Human Events and many supposed 'conservatives' to suppress it," said John Haskins of www.UndergroundJournal.net. "Eagle Publishing may well be too scornful of the intelligence of their own readers and too stubborn to dismiss Jed Babbin as the counterfeit conservative he revealed himself to be. But they face a continued loss of credibility which can only lead, ultimately, to the death of the publication."

Reagan picked Bush? How about, Bush blackmailed his way onto the ticket, and his people's way onto the President's White House staff, which they took over with a lot of insider-political moves and proceeded to try to paint Reagan into a corner on policy five times a week?
That would be more like it.
No, Mitt Romney did not defend the institution of marriage. He did nothing. He led no legislative effort, he issued no call for the justifiable impeachment of the two members of the three-member Supreme Judicial Court who voted with the Chief Justice, and in fact he did nothing but sit on his hands and issue a few press-release mumbles.
He was put on the spot by the SJC, and he refused to fight. He refused to mobilize Massachusetts's hordes of Italian and Irish Catholic voters, he refused to attack the SJC for overreaching, he refused to lead in the legislature to write a new law correcting the solecism of the SJC, and submitting it to a plebiscite for even greater political authority.
He could have done plenty but he did zip. Bottom line.
So you are with the Reagan-was-a-useful-idiot crowd and it was really Bush who ran things?
Silence both or neither?
Would you like to separate out your loaded questions and try again?
No, I don't beat my wife.
Oh, and unload your questions, too -- I don't do those.
It's just do you - or don't you?
I used double standard in my first response and it appears to be that;
something we spend a good deal of time accusing democrats of.
I'm out of this now, lest I become tempted to resort to tools of debate like 'sparky' or 'hotshot'...
You're not serious about the issue, you're just brawling on behalf of a RiNO you like.
Go away, punk.
