Timothy F. Johnson Announces His Run to Replace Current State Chairman

North Carolina Republican Party Vice Chairman Timothy F. Johnson announces his run to replace current State Chairman Tom Fetzer at the NCGOP State Executive Committee meeting on Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday, January 15th.

Mr. Fetzer announced at the North Carolina Republican Party's State Executive Committee meeting on Saturday, November 20th that he would be resigning effective January 15th due to his new family obligations. Fifty-five years old and married for the first time, October 2009, his wife recently gave birth to their son and he says he wants to spend more time with them since the historical victories in North Carolina and the re-election of US Senator Richard Burr. It is also widely rumored that Fetzer personally recruited and the Associated Press has reported that former Congressman Robin Hayes would be seeking the chairmanship in January.

Frederick Douglass Foundation Vice Chairman Dean Nelson said "Many of you know Tim, as the Founder and Chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation. Under his leadership, the Foundation has expanded to over 20 states with thousands of members and supporters who represent the diversity of America . The Frederick Douglass Foundation is at the forefront of showcasing the many positive contributions, achievements, history, values and principles of the Republican Party since the Party's inception in 1854 as the anti-slavery party. And under his leadership, FDF promoted the historical number of Black Republicans who ran for local, state and federal offices this year, which included and contributed to the successful election of Congressmen-Elect Allen West (FL-22) and Tim Scott (SC-1)."

In North Carolina, State Representative Pearl Burris-Floyd (NC-110) said "No Vice Chairman has covered North Carolina and promoted the Republican Party better than Dr. Tim Johnson. He is prepared to lead the NCGOP."

NC State Representative-Elect Glen Bradley (NC-49) said ""The battle for 2012 begins now, and North Carolina is particularly vulnerable to the Democrat machine - politics as usual is just not good enough to give us the victory. Tim's guidance along with the work by the Frederick Douglass Foundation was critical in winning the District 49 race for NC State House, by far the strongest Democratic district to flip in 2010. Because of Tim, we accomplished what was supposed to be impossible - a clear victory in every precinct of downtown Roanoke Rapids. This is the leadership we need as a party to prevail in 2012, and I am proud to support Tim Johnson for Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party."

NC Freedom Founder and Grassroots Activist, David DeGerolamo endorses Johnson for NCGOP Chairman and said "Dr. Johnson's perseverance to stand up for the people of North Carolina has earned him my complete support for his bid to be the next Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party"

Charlotte, NC Tea Party Organizer Matthew Ridenhour endorses his fellow veteran and said " I am excited to support Tim Johnson for NCGOP Chairman. I have known him for two years, and have seen first-hand his dedication to the grassroots, to expanding the Republican base, and to positioning the GOP for future elections. We made incredible gains in the NC House and NC Senate this year, and we will need strong leadership to ensure that we keep those gains. Tim Johnson is the leader we need."

What else is at stake? His election would be significant as the Republican Party seeks to rebrand the party's image, as a party of inclusion not exclusion. And while his election would not make him the first Black to serve as State Chairman in the United States, he would be the first in North Carolina's history, the first in the South since 1869, and the fourth Black ever. The three individuals who have served as State Chairmen previously are South Carolina's Former Congressman and Lieutenant Governor Alonzo Ransier (1869-1870), Maryland's Former State Senator Aris T. Allen (1977-1979)and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele (2000-2002)

An Open Letter of Support for Carl Paladino

2010-10-05T08:35:00.000-07:00

As we’ve seen recently, Gubernatorial Candidate Carl Paladino has come under fire recently. But let me say that Carl Paladino is the best candidate for governor that New York has had in my lifetime. He’s not a politician, concerned with what his opponents or critics will say about him. He’s a citizen legislator whose only focus is on the people he hopes to serve. Carl says what he thinks and believes - not what the New York Times wants him to say.

Carl is not afraid to show his utter disdain (one that we New York taxpayers share) for the Ruling Class in Albany and for the liberal media who are out to destroy him because he’s not from their Class. Unlike Andy Cuomo, Carl Paladino didn’t get to where he is by being born into the New York Ruling Class. He made his money the old fashioned way - he earned it. Andy Cuomo is a trust-fund kid who got to where he is because his father was governor.

What’s Cuomo done in the private sector? Nothing. Carl Paladino runs a development company. He’s actually created jobs and managed a payroll. He understands what businesses in New York need – less government. That’s why he’ll cut taxes, cut spending and get rid of nonsensical regulation that keep businesses struggling instead of hiring.

Andrew Cuomo is an attorney who makes money skimming off the booty he gets from taking from those who have and giving it to those too lazy to get up and get it for themselves. By definition, he’s a Marxist wealth redistributionist. Well, guess what? New York is running out of wealth, as those with any left are moving to states with lower tax rates and more common sense.

For the first time I can remember, New York has a chance to elect its own Ronald Reagan -a governor that actually makes the folks feel good about their state again - and I don’t mean by printing up some T-shirt that says I Love NY. Right now, everyone is wondering, “How the heck am I going to get out of this state? And if I don’t get out now, will I be stuck here, worse off?” It’s that bad. And the air of Cuomo’s inevitability being created by the liberal media and by the Albany Ruling Class is just making it worse. And as a black woman, I’m completely offended at the way the so-called “Black Leaders”- or “The Welfare State Grifters”- are attacking this man. Just because he emailed a joke about the President, whom fewer and fewer Americans can even stomach, doesn’t mean he’s a racist. It’s not racist to oppose a President just because he’s black. Just because he’s black does not mean the bar of required reverence is higher than for white presidents.

Just because the man said that he will set up training camps to train welfare mothers on how to get off welfare and improve their hygiene, people are calling a good man a racist. A racist is one of the worst things you can call a person. Yet it is thrown around without a care. It is slanderous, to be quite honest, and we should not let it stand. What about the complete man? What about the issues? I am not saying the implementation tactic suggested is the best idea or even a good idea, but at least it is an idea. It’s an alternative to those who are leaders in these communities who are constantly telling people to accept their poverty. This promotes a defeatist mentality by telling them it is the “rich white people’s fault” so they never take responsibility for themselves.

How anyone who supports and promotes government dependence and maintaining the status quo in the ghettoes can call anyone racist would be beyond me, if I didn’t know them like the back of my hand. It is just another publicity stunt by those playing plantation politics and racial profiling of Republicans to try and maintain some power. If these folks were serious about changing the lives of those in the “hood,” They would see his heart is in the right place and be calling Carl Paladino to offer their good ideas and advice on how to improve the economically disparaged and devastated. Instead, like puppets on a string, they are out their tearing apart a person who isn’t looking at color but just wants to better the lives of everyone! And last I checked, there were people of many races who receive welfare. Carl never even mentioned race. If one wanted to be as unfair as these “leaders” are being we could turn the tide on them, and accuse them of being racist because they implied that all welfare recipients are black.

The Welfare State Grifters are trying to smear conservative politics as racist. Sure, they’ve been doing that forever, but now they’ve got Obama ‘the wonder boy’ as their figure head. Disagreeing with him is racist. We, as a society that claims it wants to be colorblind, cannot let that stand. And those that would stoop so low as to create an environment where one feels ashamed to admit he’s not on board with Obama’s plan to turn America into a Socialist workers paradise on the highway to bankruptcy need to be defeated.

Liberals don’t make poverty any more fun. They just skim the money given to those willing to live in poverty in exchange for welfare and their vote. And the ferocity they are displaying towards Carl Paladino is the way they show their fear of this fine man. This is a man who is fun to be around. Can I imagine Cuomo being fun to be around? With all his hatred for me, and anger that I, a black conservative woman, even exists? Not a chance. He doesn’t understand America, New York or anything that I hold dear. He’s just another angry liberal Welfare State Grifter, a man too arrogant and pompous to be more concerned about the people in this state than he is about the maintenance and acquisition of his own power.

Carl Paladino is willing to take a pay cut to go and clean up the mess that our state government has created. And for that, I give him my full support.
Respectfully,

Chaplain Ayesha Kreutz

The Frederick Douglass Foundation of New York Kick off Event: Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave

2010-09-20T17:54:00.000-07:00

"Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave." Frederick Douglass

Minorities in America are leading in all of the WRONG areas: Incarceration rates 47%, Drop-out rates 44%, Abortion rate 38 %, and children born to fatherless homes 72%. Yet we make up only 14% of the population. We are better than that.

Knowing that every politician in your neighborhood is a Democrat, where things rarely seem to get better, how does it make sense to continue to just blame the Republicans for the mess?

Frederick Douglass said, "What is possible for me is possible for you."

We have the opportunity to do anything now, let us show the world we can.

As Americans it is time we re-evaluate our allegiance to the Democratic Party and reject Cronnie Capitalism. We must build on the rich heritage of Fredrick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr, Soujourner Truth, George W. Murray and many many more.

Our Goals must be to educate, enhance, and empower ourselves. There has always been much talk in the community about “our history” and who we are as a people, why don’t we actually remember, that until the 1960s, the Democratic Party was for whites only? There were no free black Democrats. Have you ever wondered why ALL blacks were Republicans, or why the first black politicians after the Civil War were all Republican? Hiram Rhodes Revels, for example, served in the 41st Congress between 1870 and 1871. It is tragic that most Americans born after 1950 have no idea about their rich heritage and history.

It was the Republican Party that abolished slavery, established voting rights for blacks, integrated our public schools and appointed qualified blacks to positions of authoritity.

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.”Frederick Douglass

To succeed and compete in todays world Blacks need to understand economics, and not the kind that our local politicians peddle to keep us poor. Supply and demand isn’t just a construct invented by white people to keep black people poor. It’s real, and it affects the prices, costs and availability of all products and services.

Lower taxes aren’t just for greedy rich whites who want to take money from poor black folks. They enable businesses, big and small, to form, grow and hire folks to work. Lowering taxes helps the free market enterprise drive the economy by producing jobs, allowing more unemployed people to leave the welfare rolls and enter the work force, and that’s the equivalent of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him the fish in exchange for your vote- like the Democrats do as they expect us to blindly vote for them as if we were a people without the mental capacity to think for ourselves or believe we deserve more than the leftovers of everyone else. More businesses and more jobs create competition but also more demand in the form of more workers with a paycheck to spend, and this results in reduced prices for goods and services.

The lies of the Democrat Party are what keeps minority neighborhoods poor, and for this reasons alone you have every reason to vote Republican.

Democrats have been winning the PR Campaign for far too long. It’s the Democrats who rewrite history and control the educational systems. It was the Democrats who told blacks that life will be better for you if you just start voting Democrat. They said they’d leave them alone and stop the violence and lynching’s. Remember, it the Democrat party was the party of the KKK. And remember, every soldier that fought the Civil War for the South against Republican President Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat. And now it is the Democratic PR machine that tells the black man it isn’t so. Furthermore, your Democrat betters conveniently erase from history great men such as black Republican pioneer Dr. Arthur Fletcher. He is known as the father of affirmative action, he served as secretary of labor under President Richard Nixon, and he headed the U.S. Civil Rights Commission under President George H.W. Bush. But because he was a Republican, nothing great is rarely spoken of this man.

For years now, the racist label has been attached to Republicans without any supporting evidence. Yet the charge has gone mostly unanswered. Few have publicly addressed the unearned condemnation, and generations of black folk live and die without ever knowing the truth.

Fredrick Douglass said “I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.”

Why have you never questioned or wondered? Well, now that you have a little piece of the puzzle you can. Start today and open up a whole new world of possibilities for yourself.

The Mosque Controversy by Thomas Sowell

2010-08-31T10:04:00.000-07:00

The proposed mosque near where the World Trade Center was attacked and destroyed, along with thousands of American lives, would be a 15-story middle finger to America.

It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious, so it is not surprising that the intelligentsia are out in force, decrying those who criticize this calculated insult.

What may surprise some people is that the American taxpayer is currently financing a trip to the Middle East by the imam who is pushing this project, so that he can raise the money to build it. The State Department is subsidizing his travel.

The big talking point is that this is an issue about “religious freedom” and that Muslims have a “right” to build a mosque where they choose. But those who oppose this project are not claiming that there is no legal right to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center.

If anybody did, it would be a matter for the courts to decide — and they would undoubtedly say that it is not illegal to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center attack.

The intelligentsia and others who are wrapping themselves in the Constitution are fighting a phony war against a straw man. Why create a false issue, except to evade the real issue?

Our betters are telling us that we need to be more “tolerant” and more “sensitive” to the feelings of Muslims. But if we are supposed to be sensitive to Muslims, why are Muslims not supposed to be sensitive to the feelings of millions of Americans, for whom 9/11 was the biggest national trauma since Pearl Harbor?

It would not be illegal for Japanese Americans to build a massive shinto shrine next to Pearl Harbor. But, in all these years, they have never sought to do it.

When Catholic authorities in Poland were planning to build an institution for nuns, years ago, and someone pointed out that it would be near the site of a concentration camp that carried out genocide, the Pope intervened to stop it.

He didn’t say that the Catholic Church had a legal right to build there, as it undoubtedly did. Instead, he respected the painful feelings of other people. And he certainly did not denounce those who called attention to the concentration camp.

There is no question that Muslims have a right to build a mosque where they chose to. The real question is why they chose that particular location, in a country that covers more than 3 million square miles.

If we all did everything that we have a legal right to do, we could not even survive as individuals, much less as a society. So the question is whether those who are planning a Ground Zero mosque want to be part of American society or just to see how much they can get away with in American society?

Can anyone in his right mind believe that this was intended to show solidarity with Americans, rather than solidarity with those who attacked America? Does anyone imagine that the Middle East nations, including Iran, from whom financial contributions will be solicited, want to promote reconciliation between Americans and Muslims?

That the President of the United States has joined the chorus of those calling the Ground Zero mosque a religious freedom issue tells us a lot about the moral dry rot that is undermining this country from within.

In this, as in other things, Barack Obama is not so much the cause of our decline but the culmination of it. He had many predecessors and many contemporaries who represent the same mindset and the same malaise.

There are people for whom moral preening has become a way of life. They are out in force denouncing critics of the Ground Zero mosque.

There are others for whom a citizen of the world affectation puts them one-up on those of us who are grateful to be Americans, and to enjoy a freedom that is all too rare in other countries around the world, even at this late date in human history.

They think the United States is somehow on trial, and needs to prove itself to others by bending over backwards. But bending over backwards does not win friends. It loses respect, including self-respect.

Where Did The “Races” Come From?

2010-08-12T07:43:00.001-07:00

Waiting in airports and long airplane rides have become a way of life for the ICR staff scientist. Imagine my appreciation when two black servicemen engaged me in a delightful conversation about creation the other day.

As it turned out, both men were dedicated Christians, but had no previous teaching on creation, although both knew evolution had to be wrong, based on the clear statements of Scripture.

Finally, they asked the question which they had always wanted to ask, but had never dared to: Where did the races come from?

Perhaps I was reading too much into their comments, but I felt like weeping (and still feel like weeping) as I recognized what generations of racial prejudice had done to these two men. From Darwin on down, evolutionists have preached that the Negro race was lower on the evolutionary scale, much closer to the apes than the Caucasian. As a matter of fact the whole concept of race is evolutionary, not Biblical, for”God hath made of one blood all nations of men” (Acts 17:26). All of mankind springs from our first parents, Adam and Eve, and then through Noah’s family. The Biblical distinction is between national groups, and especially languages, not skin color or other physical characteristics. These two men, and probably many blacks, had been bludgeoned by evolutionary dogma into questioning their own self-worth, wondering if their standing before God was equal to that of other ethnic groups.

Actually, the Biblical model regarding the origin of physical characteristics is easily the best historical and scientific explanation. Starting with Noah’s family, the creation model postulates a “racially mixed” population, with much biological potential for variation. As family groups were isolated by language barriers, environmental factors allowed particular traits already present to be expressed more frequently, while genes coded for other characteristics were not favored and were eventually suppressed.

Genetically speaking, the differences between the various races are extremely small. All are of the same species, are interfertile, and produce fertile offspring. The most noticeable difference is in skin color, but the fact is, we are all the same color; some people just have a little more of that color than others. Skin shade is due to the amount of a substance called melanin in the skin; the more melanin, the darker the skin. Racially mixed individuals can parent children who are all the way from quite dark to quite light, or anywhere in between. The predominant shade for freely interbreeding individuals would be brown.

While prejudice, persecution, and racial hatred follow directly from the application of evolutionary teaching, some have even proposed racism in the name of Christianity. The Christian must not allow himself or herself to think this way. The Lord Jesus certainly didn’t. He was likely neither white nor black, but somewhere in between. He died to provide all men the opportunity for eternal life (II Peter 3:9, for example). Indeed, heaven will be populated by “a great multitude . . .of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues (who will) stand before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes” (Revelation 7:9), all redeemed by His blood. In the end, all racism, as well as racial distinctions, will be abolished.

Here is The Letter I have been sending out

Dear Friends, Family and Supporters: Please invite others!

We are having a wonderful year at The Amanda Rose Belmont Center for Arts and Movement and Yahweh Ballet, and feeling God's will to do more for the world around us. God has presented a wonderful and challenging dance ministering opportunity to go to Canada on a five-day, pro-life, missions trip with The Life Ballet, a Pro-Life Show presented by The Yahweh Ballet, in which I have an important part. We have been asked to come to The Miracle Channel in Canada to film a show excerpt. While there, we will perform the show at area Canadian churches. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires much financial support. Each person needs to raise $1,500 by July 15 to attend! This is where your help comes in. 1, $5, $20, $100, $2,000, every little bit helps. We are also accepting donations of Gift Certificates, Services, Gift Cards, Crafts, books, Merchandise etc... to help with fundraising baskets we are putting together. If you would like to sponsor us or help by doing a fundraiser for the school/mission, you may reply by email, pledge card or by visiting www.yahwehballet.org directly.

The Life Ballet addresses a dire situation of babies being killed around the world every day. God has opened up a door for me to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people. This is not only my opportunity to be used by God by reaching out and spreading the Good news of God’s forgiveness and redemptive love, but yours as well. Even if we are able to save just one baby, one blood line or one soul, I think it is worth it. It is exciting that through The Life Ballet we can change hearts and minds and be part of touching lives For Jesus.

We need prayer and support. While I will be very grateful for any financial support you could offer, it comes in a distant second to my need for your prayer. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God's leading in ministry. We need prayer for the hearts of those who will be seeing the ballet; for me; for my fellow students; for the dance school; and for all our volunteers and directors. We need prayers that God will prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts as we minister through dance to the hearts of men and women affected by abortion. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish and will prayerfully consider supporting us. With your help, I am sure we can reach our goals!

In Christ,

Climate Change and the Death of Science

2010-05-10T19:59:00.000-07:00

Published October 31, 2009
I think Originally By E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D.

Mike Hulme, Phil Jones,Tim Nicholson

[Note: the following was written on October 31 and updated November 3, before the 'Climategate' CRU email scandal broke, and it is all the more pertinent in the light of those disclosures. The CRU emails show how science has been perverted into a political movement, and how scientists conspired to serve a 'post-normal' agenda where truth is trampled - exactly as the proponents of 'post-normal' science had anticipated. With the association between 'post-normal' science developed by Ravetz and its application in climate science by Hulme now widely exposed by this present post, Ravetz and Hulme jointly authored an article, published by the BBC on December 1, entitled 'Show Your Working': What 'ClimateGate' means in which they sought to promote post-normal science further by capitalizing on the public disgust at the corruption of 'normal' science. This is cynical because normal science was corrupted by covertly introducing post-normal activities in the first place.]

What has become of science? We thought that science was about the pursuit of truth. Then we became perplexed at how quickly scientists have prostituted themselves in the service of political agendas. We have seen the unedifying spectacle of scientists refusing to share their data, fiddling their results, and resorting to ad hominem attacks on those who have exposed their work to be fraudulent. We have seen the Royal Society becoming a shamelessly crude advocacy society. We have seen President Obama choosing notorious climate alarmists and liars to be his personal advisors. We have seen the peer review process and journal editors colluding to prevent publication of results that do not serve the politically-correct agenda, and scientists refusing to consider results that demolish their pet theories. What is going on here?

What is going on is that science is no longer what we thought it was. It is now a tool in the hands of socialists, and the smart money is flowing into the pockets of ‘scientists’ who will serve their agenda. Follow the money. Whilst traditional physics and chemistry departments are closing in British universities, and there is a shortage of science teachers, there is an abundance of cash being poured into departments that will serve socialist ends, and no shortage of acolytes desirous to use this as a route to power. Once there was modern science, which was hard work; now we have postmodern science, where the quest for real, absolute truth is outdated, and ‘science’ is a wax nose that can be twisted in any direction to underpin the latest lying narrative in the pursuit of power. Except they didn’t call it ‘postmodern’ science because then we might smell a rat. They called it PNS (post-normal science) and hoped we wouldn’t notice. It was thus named and explicated by Silvio O. Funtowicz and philosopher Jerome R. Ravetz, who in 1991 wrote the paper A New Scientific Methodology for Global Environmental Issues, followed in 1992 by The good, the true and the postmodern, and in 1993 by Science for the post-normal age, where they promoted the idea that

…a new type of science – ‘post-normal’ – is emerging…in contrast to traditional problem-solving strategies, including core science, applied science, and professional consultancy…Post-normal science can provide a path to the democratization of science, and also a response to the current tendencies to post-modernity.

The ‘response’ wasn’t to be a reaction against postmodernism, but an embracing of it, and going beyond it. And it has sinister ramifications.

We had already been warned about Ravetz in the 1987 work Changing Powers of the Political, which stated

From the perspective of Anglo-American liberalism it seems easy enough to…point out that the old predictions of the British Marxist J.D. Bernal about the triumph of basic research under socialism have proved hopelessly wrong, and that the demands of J.R. Ravetz of the University of Leeds that science be made instrumental and moral will destroy the enterprise whatever its short-term benefits.

Ravetz, who described himself as a peacenik intellectual, was a political radical who drew on neo-Marxism, and was a stalwart in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), anti-nuclear lobbies, and the Anti-Concorde Project. He is well known for arguing that the pursuit of truth in science is an obsolete and dangerous concept. He declared

…the puzzle-solving approach of ‘normal science’ is obsolete. This is a drastic cultural change for science, which many scientists will find difficult to accept. But there is no turning back; we can understand post-normal science as the extension of democracy appropriate to the conditions of our age.

For us, quality is a replacement for truth in our methodology. We argue that this is quite enough for doing science, and that truth is a category with symbolic importance, which itself is historically and culturally conditioned.

To pursue truth is to make a category mistake, so pursue the nebulous concept of ‘quality’ instead. So much for facts: scientists need to learn how to serve the craft of rhetoric. Even though it was concealed from those who constructed the models, the purpose of climate models was to provide the power of metaphor to political rhetoric:

…climate change models are a form of “seduction”…advocates of the models…recruit possible supporters, and then keep them on board when the inadequacy of the models becomes apparent. This is what is understood as “seduction”; but it should be observed that the process may well be directed even more to the modelers themselves, to maintain their own sense of worth in the face of disillusioning experience.

…but if they are not predictors, then what on earth are they? The models can be rescued only by being explained as having a metaphorical function, designed to teach us about ourselves and our perspectives under the guise of describing or predicting the future states of the planet…A general recognition of models as metaphors will not come easily. As metaphors, computer models are too subtle…for easy detection. And those who created them may well have been prevented…from being aware of their essential character.

In 1990 Ravetz published The Merger of Knowledge with Power, then in 2002 a paper The Challenge beyond Orthodox Science. Of the book by E.F. Pecci, Science and Human Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness, a book about parapsychology, psychokinesis and extrasensory perception, he says it “creates a bridge between modern physics and the realm of subtle energies…it opens the way to an expansion of our scientific conceptions to include those other energies that are increasingly important for our comprehension of the world around us.” In 2007, Ravetz, then at the University of Oxford, published a paper Post-Normal Science and the complexity of transitions towards sustainability saying that post-normal science needed to be taken to the next stage.

The theory of Post-Normal Science…needs to be renewed and enriched…The time is not ripe for a modification of PNS, and so the best move forward is to raise the issue of Sustainability. For that I sketch a theory of complex systems, with special attention to pathologies and failures. That provides the foundation for a use of ‘contradiction’ as a problem incapable of resolution in its own terms, and also of ‘characteristic contradiction’ that drives a system to a crisis. With those materials it is possible to state the characteristic contradiction of our modern industrial civilisation, and provide a diagram with heuristic power.

Heuristic power is the power to explain ‘factual novelties’. ‘Contradiction’ and ‘characteristic contradiction’ are Marxist speak. Heard about ‘sustainability’ recently? You bet! Ravetz gives the Greens the tools they need to do their dirty work. He gives them the philosophical blueprint to attack modern industrial civilization. Now, let’s be clear: post-normal science is one of the manipulative arts that Machiavelli would have been proud of.

We will take as classic examples and exponents of post-normal science the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, and Mike Hulme, the founding director of this Tyndall Centre, and Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Hulme makes it clear that the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is well and truly in the bag. Stuart Blackman interviewed Hulme back in May, 2009, and described him as “one of the UK’s most distinguished and high-profile climate scientists” and the Tyndall Centre as “an organisation so revered by environmentalists that it could be mistaken for the academic wing of the green movement”. The Tyndall Centre is deeply infiltrated by those serving the Green agenda, and produces work for advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the IPCC. It is funded by the British taxpayer, receiving grants from the three Research Councils NERC, EPSRC and ESRC. We read today on their website

Situations Vacant: Three Lecturers in Climate Change at Tyndall UEA
These new academic staff appointments at UEA have been created as a result of substantial new investments in the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. The posts offer excellent opportunities for continuing, or developing, internationally outstanding research careers.

Notice that these are not lecturers in climate science, but climate change. We will see below what these lecturers will be expected to espouse and teach. The fig leaf that this might have been science has now been dropped. As Mike Hulme has said

[The] chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, recently urged the media to focus on the “scientific rationale for action” rather than the political aspects of climate…I disagree…In the end, politics will always trump science…we need better politics, not better science.

So what actually is ‘Post-Normal Science’? Dr John Turnpenny of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, in his paper What is post-normal science? A critical review of its development, definitions and usages (“Post Normal Science – perspectives & prospects” June 26/27, 2009 at Oxford), had this to say:

The concept of post-normal science (PNS) has been developed as a potential approach to addressing wicked issues…As such, the ‘science’ in PNS is not limited to a conventional understanding of the word…

So let’s stop calling it science. For a fuller description of post-normal science we turn to the essay by Eva Kunseler, Towards a new paradigm of Science in scientific policy advising (headings and italics added):

Normal science
[Normal] Science is a logic inductive process leading to theory formulation, while all the way put through critical tests that have been deductively derived from the theory; Popper’s critical rationalist concept of science is an objective progression toward the truth…The term normal science refers to the routine work of scientists within a paradigm; slowly accumulating knowledge in accord with established theoretical assumptions…The paradigm is enlarged and frontiers of knowledge and techniques pushed forward.

The exercise of scholarly activities is defined by the dominance of the Mertonian CUDOS norms of science. They include:
(C)ommunalism – the common ownership of scientific discoveries, according to which scientists give up intellectual property rights in exchange for recognition and esteem;
(U)niversalism – according to which claims to truth are evaluated in terms of universal or value-free criteria;
(D)isinterestedness – according to which scientists are rewarded for acting in ways that appear to be selfless;
(O)rganized (S)kepticism – all ideas must be tested and are subject to structured community scrutiny.

Post-normal science
A new concept of science was introduced by Funtowicz and Ravetz during the 1990s…The concept of post-normal science goes beyond the traditional assumptions that science is both certain and value-free…The exercise of scholarly activities is defined by the dominance of goal orientation where scientific goals are controlled by political or societal actors…Scientists’ integrity lies not in disinterestedness but in their behaviour as stakeholders. Normal science made the world believe that scientists should and could provide certain, objective factual information…The guiding principle of normal science – the goal of achievement of factual knowledge - must be modified to fit the post-normal principle…For this purpose, post-normal scientists should be capable of establishing extended peer communities and allow for ‘extended facts’ from non-scientific experts…In post-normal science, the maintenance and enhancement of quality, rather than the establishment of factual knowledge, is the key task of scientists… Involved social actors must agree on the definition of perceptions, narratives, interpretation of models, data and indicators…scientists have to contribute to society by learning as quickly as possible about different perceptions…instead of seeking deep ultimate knowledge.

So this is not science as we know it. Science has to re-invent itself as a political tool, just as it was under Hitler and Stalin. Scientists must learn ‘as quickly as possible’ what will please the political elite, and serve it up. As one Richard Fernandez has written:

All in all, the notion of “post-normal science” seems like a complete contradiction in terms or a perversion of the standard definition of science as commonly understood. It appears to be an elaborate and dishonest attempt to pass off the preferences of a single group as some kind of pseudo-science. There’s a much simpler term for this dishonest phrase: politics. Post-normal science is nothing but a cheap and lying term for a political diktat; for the rule of the self-appointed over everyone else. Whatever truth “Global Warming” may contain it has surely been damaged by its association with this disreputable and vile concept which brazenly casts aside the need for any factual basis and declares in the most unambiguous terms that whatever values it chooses to promote constitutes a truth unimpeachable by reality and a set of values that none dare challenge.

Mike Hulme, founding director of the Tyndall Centre, and Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia (UEA), prepared climate scenarios and reports for the UK Government (including the UKCIP98 and UKCIP02 scenarios, and reviewer for UKCP09), the European Commission, UNEP, UNDP, WWF-International and the IPCC, and was co-ordinating Lead Author for the chapter on ‘Climate scenario development’ for the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC, as well as a contributing author for several other chapters. Hulme has been a champion and exponent of post-normal science for some years to serve his own socialist agenda, and this is what he has to say about post-normal science (some italics added):

Philosophers and practitioners of science have identified this particular mode of scientific activity as one that occurs…where values are embedded in the way science is done and spoken.

It has been labelled “post-normal” science. Climate change seems to fall in this category. Disputes in post-normal science focus…on the process of science – who gets funded, who evaluates quality, who has the ear of policy…The IPCC is a classic example of a post-normal scientific activity.

Within a capitalist world order, climate change is actually a convenient phenomenon to come along.

The largest academic conference that has yet been devoted to the subject of climate change finished yesterday [March 12, 2009] in Copenhagen…I attended the Conference, chaired a session…[The] statement drafted by the conference’s Scientific Writing Team…contained…a set of messages drafted largely before the conference started by the organizing committee…interpreting it for a political audience…And the conference chair herself, Professor Katherine Richardson, has described the messages as politically-motivated. All well and good.

The danger of a “normal” reading of science is that it assumes science can first find truth, then speak truth to power, and that truth-based policy will then follow…exchanges often reduce to ones about scientific truth rather than about values, perspectives and political preferences.

…‘self-evidently’ dangerous climate change will not emerge from a normal scientific process of truth-seeking…scientists – and politicians – must trade truth for influence. What matters about climate change is not whether we can predict the future with some desired level of certainty and accuracy.

Climate change is telling the story of an idea and how that idea is changing the way in which our societies think, feel, interpret and act. And therefore climate change is extending itself well beyond simply the description of change in physical properties in our world…

The function of climate change I suggest, is not as a lower-case environmental phenomenon to be solved…It really is not about stopping climate chaos. Instead, we need to see how we can use the idea of climate change – the matrix of ecological functions, power relationships, cultural discourses and materials flows that climate change reveals – to rethink how we take forward our political, social, economic and personal projects over the decades to come.

There is something about this idea that makes it very powerful for lots of different interest groups to latch on to, whether for political reasons, for commercial interests, social interests in the case of NGOs, and a whole lot of new social movements looking for counter culture trends.

Climate change has moved from being a predominantly physical phenomenon to being a social one…It is circulating anxiously in the worlds of domestic politics and international diplomacy, and with mobilising force in business, law, academia, development, welfare, religion, ethics, art and celebrity.

Climate change also teaches us to rethink what we really want for ourselves…mythical ways of thinking about climate change reflect back to us truths about the human condition…

The idea of climate change should be seen as an intellectual resource around which our collective and personal identifies and projects can form and take shape. We need to ask not what we can do for climate change, but to ask what climate change can do for us…Because the idea of climate change is so plastic, it can be deployed across many of our human projects and can serve many of our psychological, ethical, and spiritual needs.

…climate change has become an idea that now travels well beyond its origins in the natural sciences…climate change takes on new meanings and serves new purposes…climate change has become “the mother of all issues”, the key narrative within which all environmental politics – from global to local – is now framed…Rather than asking “how do we solve climate change?” we need to turn the question around and ask: “how does the idea of climate change alter the way we arrive at and achieve our personal aspirations…?”

We need to reveal the creative psychological, spiritual and ethical work that climate change can do and is doing for us…we open up a way of resituating culture and the human spirit…As a resource of the imagination, the idea of climate change can be deployed around our geographical, social and virtual worlds in creative ways…it can inspire new artistic creations in visual, written and dramatised media. The idea of climate change can provoke new ethical and theological thinking about our relationship with the future….We will continue to create and tell new stories about climate change and mobilise these stories in support of our projects. Whereas a modernist reading of climate may once have regarded it as merely a physical condition for human action, we must now come to terms with climate change operating simultaneously as an overlying, but more fluid, imaginative condition of human existence.

We always said that Climate Change was a belief system, and there you have it. It has abandoned the pretence of objective science. As Hulme reveals, it is a postmodern narrative and the IPCC is a “classic example of a post-normal scientific activity”. This is leading to ridiculous situations. In early November 2009, a certain Tim Nicholson was granted permission to take his former employer Grainger to a tribunal. Commenting on this, his lawyer states:

Essentially what the judgment says is that a belief in man-made climate change and the alleged resulting moral imperative is capable of being a philosophical belief and is therefore protected by the 2003 religion or belief regulations.

Nicholson said he had tried to set up a carbon management system for the company, but was unable to work out its carbon footprint because staff had refused to give him the necessary data. He accused the chief executive, Rupert Dickinson, of showing “contempt” for his beliefs by not minimizing carbon emissions. Commenting on this issue in The Guardian, Andrew Brown, clearly in favour of coercion, writes in an article entitled We’re doomed without a green religion:

The justification for burning heretics was perfectly simple: dissent threatened the survival of society…not to coerce, itself becomes immoral…Compulsion will be needed but compulsion alone won’t do it…They need to believe in what they are forced to do…and that will also mean its dark side: the pressure of conformism, the force of self-righteousness, huge moral weight attached to practically useless gestures like unplugging phone chargers. They need, in fact, something that does look a lot like religion…Should that happen, the denialists, who claim that it is all a religion, will for once be telling the truth…
Mike Hulme has recently published a book entitled Why We Disagree About Climate Change from which some of his quotes above are taken. I can do no better than quote extracts of the book review by Joseph Bast in American Thinker:

More than a few people will be tempted to buy this book based on the promise, implicit in its title, that it offers an examination of the ideas and motives of both sides in the global warming debate. But that is not what this book is about. Rather, it is the musings of a British socialist about how to use the global warming issue as a means of persuading “the masses” to give up their economic liberties. The fact that the author, Mike Hulme, is a scientist who helped write the influential reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and many other influential government agencies makes this book more disturbing than informative.

…socialists like Hulme can frame the global warming issue in such as way as to achieve seemingly unrelated goals such as sustainable development, income redistribution, population control, social justice, and many other items on the liberal/socialist wish-list.

It is troubling to read a prominent scientist who has so clearly lost sight of his cardinal duty — to be skeptical of all theories and always open to new data. It is particularly troubling when this same scientist endorses lying by others to advance his personal political agenda.

Read this book if you want insight into the mind of a scientist who has surrendered all moral authority to speak truthfully about global warming. Avoid it if you are looking for a book that explains why we disagree about climate change.

From what Hulme has admitted, the climate change debate is not about truth and physical reality, but a way of making it the “mother of all issues” in order to achieve socialist and Marxist aims, including de-capitalizing the West, and bringing about global governance by an elite. Hulme is delighted to be in the vanguard, and it is paying him handsomely. Critical to this is capture of the scientific institutions. Hulme says, we are all actors “in the unfolding story…alongside the personal gods of the heavens”. Climate change is a new lying narrative serving an agenda as old as the hills. Here is an account of the very first post-normal science experiment, pitting against ultimate truth a lying agenda and narrative with an ‘extended peer community’ and ‘extended facts’ in the pursuit of power:

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

The Patriot Post – Army Preps for Tea Party ‘Terrorists’

2010-04-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

By Mark Alexander
The Patriot Post
http://patriotpost.us/alexander/2010/04/29/army-preps-for-tea-party-terrorists/

“The duty imposed upon [the president] to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed, follows out the strong injunctions of his oath of office, that he will ‘preserve, protect, and defend the constitution.’ The great object of the executive department is to accomplish this purpose; and without it, be the form of government whatever it may, it will be utterly worthless for offence, or defence; for the redress of grievances, or the protection of rights; for the happiness, or good order, or safety of the people.” –Justice Joseph Story

A few months back, the commander in chief or our Armed Forces, that erstwhile community organizer Barack Hussein Obama, denigrated a large cross section of Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement — those who advocate for Essential Liberty and Rule of Law. http://patriotpost.us/alexander/2009/09/03/essential-liberty-part-1/

Obama identified them as malcontents, “waving their little tea bags.”

Since then, the Obama administration and their Leftmedia sycophants(http://patriotpost.us/alexander/2008/07/25/the-obamaphiles-baracks-leftmedia-sycophants/)have endeavored to characterize Tea Party attendees as rude, radical, racist, redneck, enemies of the state.

In fact, Americans who attend Tea Party rallies are from all walks of life, as noted in the Patriot Declaration, Patriots who are peacefully and constitutionally petitioning their government for redress.

As I noted in my tax-day essay, Tea Parties are “not a call for revolution but for restoration — a call to undertake whatever measures are dictated by prudence and necessity to restore constitutional Rule of Law.”

However, Obama’s words do have consequences.

This week, I was contacted by a number of military personnel, enlisted and officer ranks, who expressed concern about a military exercise underway at Ft. Knox, the U.S. Bullion Depository. As with most such exercises, the Ft. Knox alert occurred in stages, as if real time intelligence was being provided at various intervals.

The first intel advisory was issued on Friday, 23 April 2010, and identifies the terrorist threat adversaries as “Local Militia Groups / Anti-Government Protesters / TEA Party.”

You read that right: “TEA Party”!

The alert states that plans for the demonstration may have been interrupted by “Federal and local law enforcement” raids on a “White Supremacists Organization,” but “TEA Party organizers have stated that they will protest at the Gold Vault at a future date.”

Further, the intel advisory states, “Anti-Government – Health Care Protesters have stated that they would join the TEA Party as a sign of solidarity.”

In accordance with the exercise, Ft. Knox post security is placed on high alert because, “these groups are armed, have combative training and some are former Military Snipers. Some may have explosives training / experience,” and “a rally at their compound / training area is scheduled.”

Another intel update was issued on Monday, 26 April 2010, noting that the “rally at the Militia compound occurred,” and “Viable threats … have been made.” The intel on the rally notes, “Many members were extremely agitated at what they referred to as Government intervention and over taxation in their lives. Alcohol use ‘fanned the flames.’ Many military grade firearms were openly carried. An ad hoc ’shoot the government agent’ event was held with prizes (alcohol) given for the best shot placement.”

The report states further, “Components of bomb making are reported to have been on the site. Some members have criminal records relating to explosive and weapons violations.”

In response to the “immediate threat,” the exercise stipulates, “local detention centers are being made ready for mass arrests.” Both the “QRF I and QRF II” are placed on two hour recall, and the “5-15 CAV” was ordered to “draw weapons from holder and store in most available arms room,” and “coordinate with MASA for immediate ammunition draw; have equipment readied for immediate use, i.e. vehicles staged and loaded IAW 5-15 CAV SOP; LMR’s charged.”

QRF refers to Quick Reaction Force. QRF I is the 16th Cavalry Regiment. QRF II is the 194th Armored Brigade.

The 26 April order gives specific instructions for the 5-15 CAV (a 16th Cavalry battalion) to have weapons, ammo, vehicles and communications at ready, and it places the other 2,200 members of the units on two-hour recall. In other words, these orders are to gear up for defending Ft. Knox against Tea Party folks and their co-conspirators who oppose nationalization of our health care sector.

Now, for almost 30 years I have participated in the development and implementation of small and large scale military exercises within the U.S. and around the world.

Such exercises are critical to the readiness of our forces, and the standard for the real time intel reports in these drills requires thinly veiled references to assets of existing or collateral threat vectors such as communist regimes such as China and real terrorist networks such as al-Qa’ida, etc.

Perhaps the writers of such exercises today should focus on response plans for, say, an Islamic terrorist who attacks a post. (See Ft. Hood / Major Nidal Malik Hasan.)

The Ft. Knox exercise is not only amateurish in its construct, but also sets an ominous political precedent.

The military officers and enlisted personnel with whom I spoke are all dedicated uniformed Patriots who are loyal, first and foremost, to their oath to “support and defend” our Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Their concerns about this exercise mirrored my own. As one put it, the exercise “misrepresents freedom loving Americans as drunken, violent racists — the opponents of Obama’s policies have been made the enemy of the U.S. Army.”

They were equally concerned that command staff at Ft. Knox had signed off on this exercise, noting, “it has been issued and owned by field grade officers who lead our battalions and brigades,” which is to say many Lieutenant Colonels saw this order before it was implemented.

It’s not likely that Ft. Knox Commanding General James Milano or Deputy Commander Col. David Teeples, or even the regimental and brigade commanders for the 16th Cav and 194th AB, actually read the exercise scenario, but that doesn’t absolve responsibility for such an egregious example of political exploitation of U.S. forces.

One officer insisted, “The American people should require greater accountability of their commissioned officers, that they abide by their oath and never allow politically motivated propaganda like this exercise on any post or base again.”

Another observed, “Whether this is complacency by officers who do not see such orders as a problem, or worse, officers who recognize the problem but do not insist the orders are changed, this is a serious problem. We are discussing the training of American citizen soldiers in the use of potentially deadly force against a specific group of political dissenters. There is never a time in an officer’s career in which he does not have a duty to apply critical thought to the orders he is given and asked to give. It is my opinion that any officer that has allowed these orders to persist, to reach the level of junior officers and soldiers, has demonstrated a lack of judgment or apathy towards what his duty requires of him. Either way, we should demand more of the commissioned officers, who we as a nation empower to lead our sons and daughters into battle.”

Indeed, and at best, the blatant malfeasance on the part of the individuals who composed this exercise reflects poorly on the uniformed services.

The antidote to this patent misrepresentation of peaceable Patriots is to expose it with the Light of Truth. As our motto Veritas vos Liberabit affirms, the Truth shall set you Free!

Hi and Good Afternoon, I am Chaplain Ayesha Kreutz you know one of those angry racist tea partiers that the liberal media loves to hate.
In March of this year, during a victory interview the socialist congressman John Dingel from the late Great state of Michigan, home of recently nationalized Government Motors, had something very revealing to say about the health care bill and why it doesn’t get its claws fully in control of our flesh until 2014. He said: “The harsh fact of the matter is that when you are going to pass legislation that will cover 300 million American people in different ways. It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps to put the legislation together to control the people.” Did you get that?
He was saying that it will take some time to get the bureaucracies in place that will control the people.
I’m not sure what country he’s from or what country the president’s from, but I don’t remember the people of the United States crying out that they wanted the government to control them.
Do you want to be controlled by the government? Me neither. I don’t want to be controlled.

It actually seems to me that everything the Obama regime and his team of power-hungry Social Democrats does and plans to do in the future is about getting control of the people. As we all know, the Health care take over is nothing more a scheme to eliminate the insurance industry through regulation, then take it over by putting everyone on Medicare and Medicaid- the largest deniers of health care and then controlling every aspect of our lifestyle by threatening to withhold healthcare from those who don’t live properly. Me, I like salt and tasty foods and hey if you want to have a cigar and a glass of wine so be it. All I know is I don’t want to be controlled.

Another thing that’s on deck is the Cap and Tax bill, which will use junk science as an excuse to impose tens of thousands of taxes and regulations on energy exploration and consumption. If this passes, it will devastate us. Our dollar, already under pressure from the trillions of borrowing to fund the Obama Regime, will become even more devalued as the cost of oil is purposely increased. Oil, being a component in the cost of anything we buy or use will cause hyperinflation when its price skyrockets, and the value of the fixed incomes of our retired folks will decrease due to this resulting hyperinflation.

President Reagan often reminded us that it was Lenin who used to brag that government-caused inflation was the easiest way to increase taxes.

But that’s not enough for the Obama Regime. They want to accelerate this hyperinflation by using some global warming junk science to demand more taxes on these already high priced commodities. Increasing the cost of oil will only cause us to use less of it, and the result will be less travel, colder homes and an inevitable decrease in lifestyle. The Obama regime wants to control how much energy we use. Me, I don’t want to be controlled.

Speaking of man made global warming, what a joke. The Obama regime wants us to believe that farting cows and Carbon Dioxide causes the atmosphere to warm. It doesn’t. Water vapor in the atmosphere causes the air to hold heat and it doesn’t take a genius to know that. That’s why you hook a humidifier to your furnace and not something that pumps out Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. Instead it is one of the main ingredients in plant photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide, Water, sunlight and Chlorophyll yield Oxygen for us to breath and plant sugars for us to eat. It’s an absolute necessity in the cycle of life. Yet the liberals who run the government-run education system- if you can still call it that- want our children to fear and hate Carbon Dioxide as if it were Mother Nature’s kryptonite. It is all just another way to regulate and control everyone. They want us to believe Government is our God.
Me, I don’t want to worship government and I won’t be controlled.

Now I believe a good education creates exceptional citizens intelligent enough to live in a free country. Education is the ultimate eradication tool for poverty and financial illiteracy. Any government responsible for this government-run school system boondoggle should have too much shame to even suggest they should be in charge of our health care system. Think about it, we have put more money after more money after more money into this joke, and all we ever get is lower test scores and complaints about how class size needs to be smaller and that there isn’t enough money. How about this. Try something different. Test the teachers ability to teach, fire the ones that aren’t good and make class size larger, only keeping the most capable teachers, and return to the mentor system. Maybe children could then get an education.
As it stands, we get graduates who are functionally illiterate and who have to take remedial courses once they get to college. The unspoken secret is that they want graduates to be functionally illiterate because those who know how to read and actually do read, end up becoming conservatives. But Liberal illiterates are easier to control. Me I don’t want to be controlled.

On top of that the Obama regime has nationalized the college student loan system. As Senator Lamar Alexander noted, the government will borrow money from China for 2.8% interest, lend it to American students for 6.8% interest, and use the 4% difference to fund his healthcare takeover. This plays right into the previously passed Give Act HR 1388, which creates mandatory service for our youth who get student loans from the government, which is now the only way for them to get a student loan. His goal is to create a domestic peoples army of community agitators that work for the president directly. With both Health Care and Student loans nationalized, do not think for a second that Obama’s drive towards totalitarian Fascism slash communism isn’t breaking the speed of sound. He wants to control the beliefs and actions of students whose families aren’t fortunate enough to have the money to pay the ever-increasing costs of Big Education. Me, I don’t want to be controlled, and I don’t want my daughters being controlled either.

All of these things just equal Big Government and Deficit Spending So STOP SPENDING!

If we let this nonsense stand, and if we go quietly into America’s Sunset without fighting to stop this, the government will then legalize the illegal aliens, turn the United States into a one party welfare state, take our guns, slam us a with huge value added tax and control us absolutely.

That we are standing here athwart history yelling “STOP” is what Ronald Reagan would call Morning in America.

Lets each commit to finding a person, anyone, someone you know or a random stranger, and from now until November, educate them on the facts. Tell them about socialism and communism, and their common consequence of totalitarianism that they share. Totalitarianism is what it takes to make a socialist command economy work. But it only works until it collapses. This country does not want or need anymore bailouts or giveaway programs We want FREEDOM! And we will hold you all accountable and not vote for any person party or program that continues to tax us and enslave us. Me I am yelling STOP now. I’m sick of a big government that wants me to be controlled.

Let me leave you with one last thought. It comes from Patrick Henry. During the revolutionary days he said: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

Time for a New Generation of Black Americans

2010-02-23T13:53:00.000-08:00

By Starr Parker

Black History Month 2010 is not a great time for a party. Unemployment at almost 10%, and well over 16% among blacks, doesn’t make for much of a festive mood.

But if the mood is not festive, shouldn’t it be reflective?

Certainly, there’s reason for pride in black achievement in the forty plus years since the Civil Rights movement. We’ve now got a couple black billionaires and a black president. The percentage of blacks with college degrees is three times greater now than in 1970.

But black household income is still just 62% of white households. And the black poverty rate, at twice the national average, has hardly budged since the late 1960’s.

Blacks should be asking hard questions when, over this period of time, many immigrants from different backgrounds have come to this country with little and moved into the middle class in one generation.

The accumulation of considerable black political power – black mayors, governors, a 42 member Black Congressional Caucus, and now a black president - has made hardly a difference. It should be clear that black economic distress is not a political problem.

Studies show that it’s family and education that produces success in America. Income correlates with education and education correlates with family background.

Now consider that in 1970, 62% of black women were married compared to 33% today. In 1970, 74% of black men were married, compared to 44% today.

Or that in 1970, 5% of black mothers were never married compared to 41% today.

The Civil Rights movement was, of course, a religiously inspired and led movement. It made liberal use of the biblical imagery of the Exodus of the Israelite slaves from Egypt.

Taylor Branch called his trilogy about Dr. King and the movement he led “Parting of the Waters”, “Pillar of Fire”, and “At Canaan’s Edge.”

To the misfortune of blacks who put great hope in the redemptive powers of that movement, their leaders prematurely closed their bibles.

The story of the liberation of the Israelite slaves did not end with their release from their Egyptian taskmasters. That was the beginning. They then proceeded to the mountain in the wilderness to receive the law to take with them and live by in the Promised Land.

When it was clear that the former Egyptian slaves were not up to the task, they were condemned to wander for forty years in the wilderness so that a new generation would arise, enter the land, and build the nation.

Let’s recall that the law they received was about family (honor your parents), about property and ownership (thou shalt not steal), and about being concerned about building your own and not what your neighbor has (thou shalt not covet).

Rather than seeking redemption through this law, post-Civil Rights movement black leaders sought redemption in politics. The welfare state, entitlements, transfer payments, and the politics of differences and envy. Should we be surprised by the result?

The New York Times recently reported that from 2004 to 2008, the political and charitable arms of the Congressional Black Caucus raised more than $55 million from corporations and unions. According to the Times, most of these funds were “spent on elaborate conventions…a headquarters building, golf outings,…and an annual visit to a Mississippi casino resort.”

More was spent on the caterer for the Caucus’s Foundation annual dinner - $700,000 – than it gave out in scholarships.

It’s now over forty years since the Civil Right movement. Enough wandering in the wilderness.

It’s time for a new generation of black Americans to step forward. A generation to turn to the truths that will rebuild black lives, black families, and lead blacks to the freedom that Dr. King and all blacks have dreamed about.

Big Business, “Organized Crime”, and Real Prosperity

2009-09-25T15:34:00.000-07:00

I had a fellow state to me that Republicans are for big business and don’t care about the black community. He went on to spew forth how they (the government) should tax the rich and provide tax breaks to the people at the bottom. He seemed to blame the deficient economy and the state of the black community on capitalism and the Republicans. Thus, he voted Democrat.

When street thugs rob at gunpoint to pilfer possessions from another person it is another example of misguided hoodlums who feel that they cannot ---and will not--- compete for a share in our economy. They believe that they must deprive others of their material goods in order to gain an economic advantage. Armed robbers must continue to commit crimes because their income will only resume through swindle. Lacking the intellectual capital and patience to participate in the free market, they cheat and steal from those who possess wealth.

Time after time the media reports this kind of action and it is justified by shifting the blame to a legacy of slavery, racism, fiscal predicament, or capitalism.

Political speeches about taxing the rich and redistributing their wealth are no different than a robbery that hasn’t yet turned bad. When liberal socialists go after companies who make an honest living and attempt to redistribute their wealth (communism) they are stealing. If big business fails, there are no employees to provide with a tax break because they will lack employment.

As a Republican I understand that businesses manufacture a product that consumers purchase. Therefore, a fair exchange takes place. When those consumers turn around and accuse business owners of making too much money, this is nothing short of envy and wanting to “buy” the cake, eat it, and then want your money back. Also, such folks elect government officials who will penalize companies for being successful by taxing them severely; this is nothing short of criminal ---- professional stick-ups that results in loss of capital that translates into unemployment and higher prices.

Entrepreneurs did not become wealthy by swindling citizens out of money. Companies satisfied the consumer by providing a product or service. When General Motors mass produced the automobile, the Ford Model T, they provided a manufactured good that pleased the world. We bought it. The Fords got rich. In the process, GM created a middle class who put in the work. In 1913 Henry Ford paid his employees at a rate of $5.00 per day! The highest wage in manufacturing at that time! Profits were good until competition, coupled with collective bargaining agreements, entered the picture. Vehicles were priced too high and were less efficient than the competition.

Pathetically, now the government (under Democratic control) wants to borrow money from me (the taxpayer) to “invest” into companies “too big to fail”. Rather than provide me with a dividend (at least a discount), they want to sell me the product I help build. That’s like borrowing my car to burglarize my home only to turn and sell me my stuff back.

It doesn’t matter if Obama is president. The community (especially the black community) will still suffer because the problems are self inflicted. Those black folks who voted for Obama just because he’s black are racists and no different from the Southern Democrats who initiated the poll tax to keep white candidates in office and poor blacks from voting despite the possible economic advantage.

He will not “change” the 50 percent school drop-out rate among African-Americans, or the 70 percent illegitimacy rate regarding two parent households in black communities; and he will not transform the high murder rate (over 50 percent) committed by black males in this country.

If blacks do not save, there will be check cashing centers in predominantly black neighborhoods with a five dollar fee rather than commercial banks. There will be corner stores and clothing outlets rather than grocery stores and malls. If the police are too busy, Wal-Mart will never open a store within the city limits.

The same candidates who say that they will create jobs are promoting the very policies that cause businesses to lay off employees and slow production. The same candidates who are soft on crime are the same ones who “prevent” businesses from opening in certain communities.

Governments do not create jobs. Citizens generate employment by starting businesses constructing products that benefit society. They hire the labor to bring this innovation to pass. The government’s job is to supervise fair enterprise----not socialize. The proper role of supervision is to create an atmosphere for growth. This involves cutting taxes to free up reinvestment capital for business owners; improving public safely, and prohibiting business regulatory fees implemented to raise money.

Time will tell how many government robberies will bring about the fatal wound to our financial prudence. In other words: time will tell which straw will finally break the camel’s back.

From Sarah Palin - Concerning the "Death Panels"

2009-08-13T14:27:00.000-07:00

Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly, and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system these “unproductive” members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.

The President made light of these concerns. He said:

“Let me just be specific about some things that I’ve been hearing lately that we just need to dispose of here. The rumor that’s been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we’ve decided that we don’t, it’s too expensive to let her live anymore....It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc. So the intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they’re ready on their own terms. It wasn’t forcing anybody to do anything.” [1]

The provision that President Obama refers to is Section 1233 of HR 3200, entitled “Advance Care Planning Consultation.” [2] With all due respect, it’s misleading for the President to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients. The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context.

Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]

Now put this in context. These consultations are authorized whenever a Medicare recipient’s health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home, and they are part of a bill whose stated purpose is “to reduce the growth in health care spending.” [5] Is it any wonder that senior citizens might view such consultations as attempts to convince them to help reduce health care costs by accepting minimal end-of-life care? As Charles Lane notes in the Washington Post, Section 1233 “addresses compassionate goals in disconcerting proximity to fiscal ones.... If it’s all about obviating suffering, emotional or physical, what’s it doing in a measure to “bend the curve” on health-care costs?” [6]

As Lane also points out:

Though not mandatory, as some on the right have claimed, the consultations envisioned in Section 1233 aren’t quite “purely voluntary,” as Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-Mich.) asserts. To me, “purely voluntary” means “not unless the patient requests one.” Section 1233, however, lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive -- money -- to do so. Indeed, that’s an incentive to insist.

Patients may refuse without penalty, but many will bow to white-coated authority. Once they’re in the meeting, the bill does permit “formulation” of a plug-pulling order right then and there. So when Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) denies that Section 1233 would “place senior citizens in situations where they feel pressured to sign end-of-life directives that they would not otherwise sign,” I don’t think he’s being realistic. [7]

Even columnist Eugene Robinson, a self-described “true believer” who “will almost certainly support” “whatever reform package finally emerges”, agrees that “If the government says it has to control health-care costs and then offers to pay doctors to give advice about hospice care, citizens are not delusional to conclude that the goal is to reduce end-of-life spending.” [8]

So are these usually friendly pundits wrong? Is this all just a “rumor” to be “disposed of”, as President Obama says? Not according to Democratic New York State Senator Ruben Diaz, Chairman of the New York State Senate Aging Committee, who writes:

Section 1233 of House Resolution 3200 puts our senior citizens on a slippery slope and may diminish respect for the inherent dignity of each of their lives.... It is egregious to consider that any senior citizen ... should be placed in a situation where he or she would feel pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would, be required to be counseled about the supposed benefits of killing oneself, or be encouraged to sign any end of life directives that they would not otherwise sign. [9]

Of course, it’s not just this one provision that presents a problem. My original comments concerned statements made by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy advisor to President Obama and the brother of the President’s chief of staff. Dr. Emanuel has written that some medical services should not be guaranteed to those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens....An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.” [10] Dr. Emanuel has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which “produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.” [11]

President Obama can try to gloss over the effects of government authorized end-of-life consultations, but the views of one of his top health care advisors are clear enough. It’s all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform.

SCORE ONE FOR SARAH PALIN ON HEALTHCARE REFORM

August Recess Health Care Blitz - Many Town Hall Meetings Listed - Talking Points, Strategy, & Educational Backgrounder -

2009-08-05T23:11:00.000-07:00

STEP ONE: Identify Your Local Town Hall Meetings

Find events in your area. See Bottom (got tons of info from resistnet)

STEP TWO: Call your members of Congress
If a town hall meeting is listed, call your member(s) of Congress and let them know you will be attending. If there are no town hall meetings listed, call your Senators and Reps now and find out when they are holding town hall meetings. If they are not holding a town hall meeting, tell them you are disappointed and then request an appointment with the Member or a staffer at the office closest to you. (If they reject even that, then notify them of the time you will arrive!)

Contact numbers for Congress : http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/index.htm

STEP THREE: Post Town Hall events on your state group page
If you identify a town hall meeting or set up an appointment that is not listed , post that event please

STEP FOUR: ATTEND A MEETING AND DELIVER PETITIONS!

lets have every member of Congress to receive a set of “No to Socialized Health Care” petitions. See Resistnet if interested in more info on this

Here are Some Talking Points for when you attend events: - But PLEASE HAVE YOUR OWN, Wat concerns you most - maybe some of these will help stir your thoughts

1) I oppose the President's socialized healthcare plan.

2) Don’t take my health care hostage. I want to make the best choices concerning my healthcare.

3) Eighty-four percent of Americans say they don’t want Obamacare or any form of socialized healthcare.

4) I do not want the government to have more control and influence over my health care. That is why I reject the so called “public option” which is really socialized health care and will destroy private options.

5) Americans cannot afford the $1.5 trillion price tag of socialized health care during these difficult economic times. I flatly reject any health care proposal that increases costs or imposes new taxes on any American.

6) The keys to a consumer-centered health care system:
a. Competition
b. Market Incentives to Control Cost and Improve Services
c. Price, Quality, and Value

7) America’s healthcare system is in desperate need of substantial reform. Policy makers should take decisive steps to move today’s bureaucracy driven, heavily regulated third-party payment system to a new patient-centered system of consumer choice and real free-market competition.

8) Look at the evidence: the TennCare plan in Tennessee and the government run health care plans from Hawaii and Massachusetts were deeply flawed and have failed. Universal healthcare is a bad idea that will end up devastating our nation.

9) What is exactly covered under Obamacare? Please be specific.

10) Have you ever been treated in a Veteran’s hospital? Ask a veteran if they are happy with government run health programs, they wait months for substandard, low quality service. Our veterans and citizens deserve better.

Below is a list of Townhall Meetings being held in the coming weeks by your Members of Congress.

If we really want to argue a"fix" for health care we really need to fix the premise in which we discuss the issue.

2009-08-05T23:08:00.000-07:00

Just a couple of quick food for thoughts here. As some how I have less time to think lately than I used to :(. But still felt the need to get a quick thought out

As people address health care it always seems to come done to how the system is broken (which yes ok I will give you that point) but why is it broken. Everyone talks about The HMO's, insurers and the medical field getting rich (like being rich is a bad thing but that is another thing all together, kinda). On the Flip side conservatives argue about how the Obama care is population control (agreed) or will drive up costs and kill jobs and invade on privacy etc.. which are all valid but still not the heart of the problem. All these things are symptoms of what is broken. Though Health care has its problems in the USA and sure is inferior to what it used to be and what it could be it is also superior to most.

If we really want to argue or "fix" health care we really need to fix the premise in which we discuss the issue.
Well, it’s coming down to the wire, and with the far left (Nancy Pelosi and alikes) making deals with the Blue Dog democrats. Like saying that they will not force insurance companies to pay for abortions (like I believe that anyway) or doctors to perform them unless it is under extreme life and death situations for the mother (yeah until they finally do away with the conscience clause as they are trying to do). Never mind that is how they got abortion to pass saying it was for EXTREME cases and when the health of the mother was at stake, then later changing that wording to include the mental health of the mother, who says they wont change that too later on. This is all a slippery slope.

Any way back to the point. We conservatives and pro-liberty need to not be goated into false arguments and start communicating the real issue here.

It is simple, everyone says that the Free-Market Health care system is broken and we need a change we need the government to come in and fix the out of control costs. They tell us how the free market is the cause of people being denied care etc.. and that we need to do something to "fix" the system and that government intervention or state run universal health care is the answer.

The problem being in all this is we don't have a free market health care system. Everything from Wall Street to Health care always seems to boil down to Capitalism vs Socialism or worse a Marxist/Orwellian society. We must get back to the basics and remind people that over the years government has imposed over 2,000 mandates to insurance companies saying what they have to cover or what they cant cover or deny etc... and there are 133,000 pages of health care regulation in the U.S. Federal Register. Please tell me why you would consider that to be free market. Each time the government steps in to fix it has driven up prices not only to individuals but to the population as a whole. Every time the government interferes with the private sector they cause more red tape, more inefficacy and less control to doctors. Take a look at medicade and medicare we go on these programs when we have to not cause we want to and now they want to tell people they want to make everyone have to be on programs like this. If the government wants a state run health care then fine so be it. Let them make their Amtrak health care and run it and see who signs up.

When the USA had a market-based medical/health care system it was brilliant the best in the world and for those with or with out money. Over the last 40-50 years the government has inched its way into this part of the privet sector (as if you control health you can certainly more easily control the people, ask any dictator). Why should we have to beg our president to decided who lives and dies, who is convient or who is worthy of what treatment. That should not only be the doctors say but mine and my families. I would like for not only congress but proponents of State run government controlled health care to tell me how that system works? They act like every thing the government touches turns to gold when in fact everything they touch goes bankrupt (as they are not out for profit, nor should they be, but out for our tax dollars)

Something has to change, Agreed, I can admit like I think the majority can that something has to give but it certainly should not giving up more civil liberties, privacy and control to the government. I say re-frame the argument to the left. Let us go on the offensive as the Free-Market works every time. Profit not only is a great motivator but the best way to increase customer service. Basic economics 101.

I am, as is every conservative I know, very compassionate and want to see anyone in need taken care of and anyone who really needs care get it. But as the democrats would have us believe it is only them who care and only them who know what is best for me, you, the poor, the sick and the rich.

I honestly believe we need to start re-framing the debate, not just this one but most of the issues. We are constantly trying to debate on their false dilemma so it is imperative we not only educate ourselves on the issues and Legislation being offered but as well correct the debate, we want to solve for the problem not the symptoms. And the problem is government, government needs to get out of the way and let the free-market highlight it's many benefits and beauty. We have been the leaders of the free world almost since our inception as a country for a reason, our founding fathers believed in you as an individual not just as a business owner but as consumers as well. It has always been about We the people verses they the government and the elitist mentality that most of the rest of the world seems to subscribe to even to this day the world is riddled with dictators and communists and other oppressive regimes who control and dictate every aspect o peoples lives.

Not only must we be consistent and diligent to not let them suck us back into a false argument but as well once we get to the point that they can see reason and see how government is trying to suck us dry from the inside out we must also be able to offer a solution. The solution must be concise as well not just make government get out of the way. But to explain how the government has interfered over the years in the free market health care system that used to work so wonderfully. Nothing is perfect so we can always find things to fix or try to perfect in a system but when ever we find flaws in a system that need fixed we as a people need to remember that solutions never come from government.

Racism or Post-Discrimination Syndrome

2009-07-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

With the recent arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. by Cambridge police, there was an outcry of “racism” from some in the black community. These undertones were further stirred by some elites in the Democratic Party who specialize in fueling the accusations of racism for political reasons.

President Barack Obama referred to the arrest as “stupidly” for one sole reason —the skin color of the accused. Had this been a white person in Mr. Gates’ position, I doubt if the incident would have incurred so much attention.

Ethnic relations in America continue to suffer severe setbacks due to those who resurface accusations of cultural disparities. Undeniably, there exists racism, but we must admit that if we were all the same color, we would find something else to hate one another about.

Many in the black community suffer from what I call “post-discrimination syndrome.” While understanding that scores of African-Americans have and will be discriminated against, there needs to be a cognitive restructuring that would allow people to overcome the temptation to believe that others’ treatment of them are due strictly to bigotry. A magnified assumption of prejudice based on race prevents the subject from truly examining areas of life that would allow real success.

Rather than presuppose a reason for judgment, the African-American should observe other possible factors such as communication patterns, education, dress, experience, etc. that may shed light on areas previously excluded from one’s own examination. Continuous failure can be a result of one not identifying real factors that need change.

Every group of people who have immigrated to America understood that to capitalize off the existing arrangement in society would lead to some form of equity. Immigrants realized that becoming assets, they could contribute to —and in some cases— command change. The Irish opened their own businesses, became police officers, legislators and judges. Eventually, the “Irish need not apply” signs disappeared.

The early Republicans, in passing and implementing all the civil rights legislation, attempted to clear the way for black Americans to achieve victory as a free people —without the restraints of involuntary servitude and the Black Codes, a system of laws enacted by Democrats in the south that gave whites virtual police powers over freed blacks after the abolition of slavery.

Despite weighty unfairness, American blacks persisted in their economic agenda and built businesses and schools that would produce honorable mentions. Such achievements required a psychological reconstruction that included a drive to persevere amid a hostile arrangement; a plan that depended on making major contributions to the market whether in education or craft.

It would prove well worthy to examine the predicament before arriving at conclusions that unnecessarily divide America based on mere conjecture. America comprise of many ethnic peoples who covet her citizenship of free enterprise. Some folks would benefit sometimes by just keeping their mouths shut.

by Tommy Davis (July 2009)

I guess I cannot comment on my own post lol so

Chaplin AGREED 100% Extremely well said I must say i feel rather sad i did not write that LOL :D - and If I May I just also add though a second part to that. Though many are eager to simply accept that treatment of them is some how due to bigotry and or racism and or some sort of profiling when in fact it is more due to as you mentioned other factors - It is also worth mentioning that even if you are a victim of bigotry,racism, prejudiced, profiling etc... although profiling is in place for very legitimate reasons (it works), We as Christians first and foremost need to "go the extra mile" and be above retaliation/revenge. I like you Tommy and probably any other black, Jew, Christian, Irish etc.... have faced some sort of racism (more than once) or being the "token black" etc.... or stopped due to being in the "wrong neighborhood" what ever - YEP that is part of life but it is US, Individually which has to purpose how we handle the situation we can freak out and act a fool further propagating that Image or "profile" or we can turn the other cheek and act as Jesus or Dr. MLK Jr. suggested and did. We have to overcome by overcoming and then as Christians by letting "vengeance is mine says the Lord" If we as a people purposed to be insulted with integrity we would as a culture not be so far Indoctrinated into the African Colonial mind set. The Democratic party would not have been so infiltrate us as a people and mentally enslave generations of us to the point of where we are now. Having willingly given up our values and love of God and Country for the color of a mans skin who despises the very country built of the fundamentals of the Bible that has given us and other "minorities" such liberty. We now live in a country where a Black man is president and still we the people are going around NOT LETTING IT GO. Keeping the past alive verses remembering the past so it does not repeat itself. So Again I have to say that even if and when I am profiled or someone is racists towards me I have a choice how to act Like a trained dog or monkey or I can lift my chin and say I am above that - they must have me twisted with someone else and then maybe just maybe (and probably) the next time they see a black (or what ever other prejudice you can interject here) they will think twice about assuming who that person is. God says for everything there is a time and a season and that He has a purpose for all these things all we need to do is reflect who Jesus is and God is in charge of the rest. And the Beauty of the majority of Conservatives though is that even the Godless ones are united with us as the Constitution binds us and the constitution is based on God's Law. That is why the left wants to reconstruct our constitution and Barry calls it our fundamental flaw. GREAT ARTICLE CHAPLIN!!!!

Since when does anyone in Politics think this is ok? GROW UP

2009-06-29T06:57:00.000-07:00

Since when does anyone in Politics think this is ok?

"Partisan politics should never be more prominent than the Pledge of Allegiance. This may come across as a partisan story, but I can't deny the facts on this one. Republicans stood for the pledge, while every Democrat remained seated. Come on, guys...you're supposed to be senators!"

Normally I might get mad a bit or frustrated here and there but this actually just disgusts me and ticks me off. But hey what can you expect from a but of power hungry, agenda driven collectivists. This is just another example of why, I left the democratic party. These people are babies and so emotionally controlled that common sense, righteousness, truth and liberty are all just words meant for manipulation.

GROW UP!!!!!

Stop Embracing Poison - The Church and the Liquor store

2009-06-29T06:33:00.000-07:00

Another one not written by me but by one of my strong brothers Akindele Akinyemi and I had to pass it along

There are two poisons in our community that continues to plague us as Black people. The Church and the Liquor store.

If you drive down any main street in Detroit you will find churches and liquor stores. When people leave church on Sunday they go next door to the liquor store to buy a pack of cigarettes and rum.
Or whiskey.
Or beer.
Some buy weed right out of the liquor stores and gas stations.
You would think the church would give our people some spiritual insight on how to live. With the advent of welfare and other nonsense we have fallen into a trap of decadence.
Decades of it.

This is why the church in our communities need a urban revolution based on family, health and prosperity. Our Black men are dying younger and our Black women are becoming widows and single at an earlier stage in their lives. We are becoming less interested in marriage due to the distrust in our households. We trust the bottle more so than each other.

Building Urban Regional Power through urban conservatism is the key to our crisis in our community. Not social programs that create a handout or dependency mentality. Not the NAACP or other outdated civil rights organizations. Not the Black Nationalist community. All mentioned have had their turn to bat and all have struck out.

The Black Church in our community must seriously work to develop ways of ministering to young Black families who are trying to live God's law, or else it must stop preaching an all accepting, all liberating gospel and calling itself a church. The good news of the gospel is that God's love is for all people unconditionally.

For the last 400 years our people developed a wealth of mechanisms and structures for survival in spite of this society's commitment to our destruction. The church was one such structure. It was through the Christian church that the "business" of the Black community was conducted and implemented. The Black church provided a forum for dealing with the politics of our oppression (as well as the economic deficiencies brought on by racism) and a place for healing the despair and loneliness of a people denied respect for their human dignity. The church was the center from which real life sprang, presenting the good news that all people have been liberated by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our love for, and loyalty to, the All Living God guaranteed this freedom.

Today, some of our Black churches have fallen off and embrace foolishness like homosexuality and killing Black children through abortion. We accept the fact that our children are failing in public schools and instead of taking the time to open up our own institution we give them a "social" program to try to save them.

Urban conservative have banned together to try to find a way to cure the problem. We fully understand that it's easy to accept certain policies and hard to accept conservative principles. The same principles that we have been following forever since day one. Conservative principles are not a White or Black thing. It is a human thing that God has placed here for us to follow and obey. When we deviate from God's law our society goes to hell in a hand basket.

Young urban conservatives also must begin to step up in leadership roles in the church structure to guide young people back to Christ. We have our instructions and now is the time to take back our community by rejecting bad health and embracing a more conservative way of living.

Young Urban Conservatives must begin to elevate the plight of the Black man by doing the following:

Getting Black parents, Black families and the Black community properly involved in the education of Black male children.

Creating and maintaining nurturing, effective, supportive, child-centered, two-parent families.

Reconnecting Black fathers to their children.

Instilling strong educational and conservative values in young Black men.

Developing positive community structures, principles, morals and activities to help with the social development of young Black men.

Finding strong, positive role models for young Black men.

We are responsible for this transformation not the government. We are responsible for teaching our youth in the church and at home about sexuality, personal responsibility and education. The government is not responsible for this.

When we embrace Jesus Christ and not the State of Michigan as our Savior we will begin to build urban regional networks on conservative principles across the region.

Obama, the African Colonial

Obama, the African Colonial

By L.E. Ikenga

Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:

First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.

Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.

The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories. AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).

On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.

The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.

Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.

Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress". (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)

Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.

Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.

Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you:

Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to create chaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.
Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing. Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?
Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse. One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons. This speaks for itself.

America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

Getting your voice back and Refuting Liberal Guilt

2009-06-14T21:49:00.000-07:00

We really need to wake up in the USA and really purpose to get our voice back. We each have an individual voice, do not negotiate out of fear, do not be silent out of fear, use it. We are listening to a world based on self, The USA was founded on What? Do you remember? Does anyone remember?

We cannot afford to sit down and be silent or listen to tyrannical dictators to tell us what is “Right”. God Gave us each a conscience to tell us what is right, who to help and how to give etc. Listen to these words and let them speak to you

From Bill of Rights
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

From Our constitution
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure Domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

See people like Jimmy Carter prefer dictatorships, because "I only have to talk to one person"

People sit around and just casually let all these freedoms go, not realizing what's happening because they are taken away by demanding that we use certain things or not allowing us to use certain things spewing what is best for "The Greater Good" and All of this is done within the framework of liberal guilt. Well, it is time people start taking a hard look around and seeing where "The Greater Good" is taking us as a people, a country and as individuals. The State is taking your individuality and trying to make you feel guilty for it when it is the one thing that sets you apart from everyone else and gives you the opportunity to be any and everything you want to be, and for those of us who got a rough start well....good it will make every success all the sweeter and we will value life in a way others cannot, so excuses are bull-crap. We must each start taking that liberal guilt they try to push on us and say no way.

Pearl of Wisdom: "Silvio Berlusconi is a huge conservative, pro-American leader in Italy, and he beat a guy running as the Italian Obama by 11 points. Sarkozy and Merkel did too. This talk that we're hated in the world, the only place it appears to be true is the Arab world -- and Obama can fix that. He understands bitterness."

The Power of USA comes from our faith in GOD and that every single person on the face of the planet has been given a set of unalienable rights FREEDOM from GOD which should not be taken away.

War - how is that our fault. Why do so many blame those who only understand death as a way of change, not those who try to do best to avoid it, do they so easily forget War it is part of any history.
War is sometimes and unfortunately necessary because there are those out there who believe in bullying others and making others submissive to them and only thing they understand is being beat up. I know that is not a popular thought but it is true, just like in school and school yard bully who will not stop till everyone comes together against him/her to stop.

We in America are free thinkers and maybe we think highly of ourselves and take pride in who we are because we have reason to. Because we have a history of perseverance and freedoms that many, in most of the world will never see. Are you ready to give that up and keep apologizing for it? WHY? and Who is behind that. What about the other systems of the world and how they have tried since our inception to defeat us and yet envy us.

In the beginning of our history we were sought out to find out how we over came and how those enslaved and oppressed have now come along to rule and live side by side with all as equals. This is something to be proud of and fight for and die for and live for and shout from the mountain tops. Even in part with the election of Barack Hussain Obama, though he was not elected because of the content of his character it is still a testament to how far we have come as a nation so I can take away a bit of a smile (kind of), though we must never forget, it was the original intent of our foundign fathers that all men be created equal. Only those (the democratic party) fond of slavery kept slavery in tact after we were estabished as a free nation.

There are other amazing histories and they should be something to be proud of too, do we as Americans go around and try to make Germany or Japan or Poland feel guilty for success and overcoming communism or Hitler etc… each of us who have a history that has brought freedom, in any form, should celebrate it and be proud of it. Each unique but still a powerful voice to be cherished and respected. That is spirit of USA.

It is like hating someone because they are beautiful or hating someone because they are smart, why should someone apologize for these things. And why not celebrate your friends who are smarter than you or prettier or what have you. Why be angry and lose good friends because they have or have over come or were just born with it? What is the sense in that?

I am not fond of anger or envy. Life is about Love and forgiveness and understanding. There is nothing wrong with that except to those who love to control and keep people in fear and subservient so sure we can back down and sur-come to the pressure of a good image to china and Iran and Egypt and what have you or we can Stand up and be who the USA has always been FREEDOM FOR ALL!!!!!!!! Maybe we need to take the time to re-educate ourselves, our children, our neighbors, opur neighbors children and then the world to what Dictatorships, Facism, Communism and the alikes have brought to the world, like genocide.

Can we press abort

I Wonder about someone who would appoint a racist judge to the supreme court, appoint a tax cheat to head the federal reserve and appoint 35 lobbyists to his administration (especially when he said he wouldn't appoint ANY lobbyists during his campaign). hmmm? Crooked?

And Well I want to say that I Ayesha officially invite all the Obama worshipers to step outside of the Matrix and see what is really happening...or just go back to sleep

Ok yeah and I am the ignorant one....So who is supporting this guy and why?

The list goes on (feel free to add on if you want) but let me just get to my point
does anyone see a trend here

So who is supporting this guy and why? From a secular (liberal & non-God fearing) point of view ok I can say ok I can see it but as a Christian, what God and what Bible are you people reading. Our alliance should be with God and God alone not man or a man. If a person goes against the very Word that gives us life and breath should we not stand up and say hold on wait a minute? You are going down not only a wrong path but a dangerous path and one opposite of the Will of God. We are being judged as a nation, God says He will give us a "king" after the peoples own hearts, well is this our heart in America now? Is this what we stand for. A dumbed down education system where our population knows more about TV stars than our founding fathers and documents. Where people can quote a sitcom more than the Holy scriptures, where we cultivate a culture of death over life? Is this who we are now as a whole? Is this who you are? We are called to repent not only for ourselves but for our nation as a whole. Jeremiah warned of this in His time. What are we doing, how do we want our country to emerge from this? Are we still a Christian and Capitalistic nation bringing light to the world. Striving for the American dream and exceptionalism or are we digressing into whiners with an entitlement mentality so that Marxism, Fascism, Communism and the a likes can rule the day and us as people. The Bible warns of times like this and it is only us who can push back the end and reach out to the nations sending Gods Word to all People that ALL would be saved. We are at a point where failure is not an option.

Oh wait and lets not forget the Muslim Pirates or the Muslim/Islam convert who just opened fire and killed recruit at Military Recruiting Center; Police Cite Religious Motivation. Or Sotomayor the admitted Judicial Activist or the fact we are being made fun of by the UK, Putin, the Chi-coms and even the Russians as they tell us not to go down the ... Read Moreroad of socialism and Marxism and that we have a president with a Messiah complex yet on the most free country in the world Ignorance runs rampant and the masses sit around waiting for some stimulus...how about stimulate yourself with some information not spoon fed you by the mass agenda driven media, hows that for some stimulus,

Barack’s First One Hundred Days – A Biblical Perspective

2009-05-01T09:37:00.000-07:00

I didn't write this one but It was GREAT so i wanted to pass it along :// I have been posting too much on facebook and not here lately

BY Flip Benham April 29, 2009

“The kings of the earth did not believe, nor did any of the world’s people. That enemies and foes could enter the gates of Jerusalem. But it happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests who shed within her the blood of the righteous.” Lamentations 4:12-13.

President Barack Obama has proved, in his first one hundred days as President of the United States, that he is indeed, “Change that we can believe in.” It has become apparent for all who have eyes to see that America has changed from One God and One standard of Law (Jesus) to a pantheon of gods with no standard of law at all. This change did not happen overnight. It did not begin with the election of Barack Obama. It began long before in the Church of Jesus Christ. The salt lost its saltiness and, as it did, enemies of God began to rule in the gates.

This is not new. Jeremiah the prophet lamented over the fall of Jerusalem because she, who had been chosen by God and greatly blessed by God, had departed from Him long before, and now enemies had entered her gates and were ruling over her. The problem was not with her government. The pitiful estate of her God-hating government was the result of something far more insidious. The problem rested squarely upon the shoulders of her prophets and priests who “…shed within her the blood of the righteous.” This was the systemic problem.

The world was shocked that such a thing could happen to Jerusalem. That enemies and foes could enter her gates. It happened because the blood of the righteous (those who feared God and faithfully proclaimed His Word) was spilled in the very house of God. Yes, the temple of God in Jeremiah’s time had become a den of robbers. True prophets were hated as they called false prophets, priests, kings, and people to return to God. These were judgmental and divisive men. True prophets were considered enemies of both church and state.

When enemies and foes are ruling over God’s people it is a sign and a judgment from God Himself that we have forsaken Him. We have become the tail and not the head. Though His Name may be often on our lying lips as we spend time in the church of “What’s Happening Now,” our hearts are far from Him.

Barack Obama is a sign and a judgment from God that the enemies of God are now ruling in the gates of America. At every major front in the battle between two seeds (Genesis 3:15) President Obama has taken his stand with the lies of the devil. He is pro-death, pro-homosexual, pro-any religion but true Christianity, pro-euthanasia, pro-debt, ad nauseam. While most of America was remembering Jesus making His way to the cross this past Easter our President was making his way around the world prostrating Christianity to the level of all other religions. The kings of the earth and the world’s people could not believe what they were seeing!

When

He was in London at the G-20 summit he bowed to the waist before King Abdullah of the House of Saud. He did not bow like this before the Queen of England or anyone else. He bowed before Islam.

No sitting president has ever bowed like this. When he bowed, he did not bow alone. He bowed for all of us. As the Head of State and the Commander-in-Chief of America’s armed forces he prostrated Jesus, the God of our Pilgrim Forefathers and our Founding Fathers, to the false and murderous god of Islam. Can you believe it?

When in France, President Nikolas Sarkozy invited him to visit the beaches of Normandie to visit the graves where many U.S. soldiers lay buried. He chose not to do that, but he did have time to visit a mosque where he took off his shoes to honor Allah. He also apologized to all of Europe for America’s “arrogance and derisiveness.” Can you believe it?

When in Istanbul, Turkey, addressing the Parliament, he was introduced as Barack Hussein Obama. He noted, to the pleasure of all, “We (Americans) do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation, or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” Says who! Can you believe it?

He has forgotten, or has never been taught, that our Founding Father’s loved Jesus and quoted the Bible more than any other book. America’s history makes no sense apart from the God of the Bible. It wasn’t a mixture of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians that traversed the mighty Atlantic on the Mayflower to found this great nation. It was Christians seeking to advance the Gospel of Christ. Take the God of the Bible out of American history and you have a lie. Barack is lying about America and therefore lying about the God who made her great! Can you believe it?

He then said, “The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical… We seek broad engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.” Can you believe it?

The world has been at war with Islam since 622 A.D. We have been at war with Islam since Thomas Jefferson sent the United States Marines to the shores of Tripoli in 1804 to end Islamic piracy. Christianity has always been at war with the false and murderous god of Islam. It is a lie birthed in the pit of hell. It is the devil’s seed. It has unleashed hell on earth. Tell me one thing Islam has done to shape America or the world for the better.

Here is the end of it all. “But the children rebelled against me: they did not follow my decrees, they were not careful to keep my laws…So I said I would pour my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in the desert…I also turned them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts – the sacrifice of every firstborn (abortion) – that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 20: 21-26.

Now this Scripture presents change we can truly believe in. Are you filled with horror over the new and outrageous laws and statutes that we are being turned over to? Laws that call evil good and good evil. Are you filled with horror over the draining of American wealth? Watching it being transferred into the hands of our enemies. Are you filled with horror over the trashing of God (Jesus) who blessed America and made her great, free, and prosperous? Have we forgotten that the God of the Bible has more disaster than our federal government has relief?

It behooves us then to remember this one thing. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the lord…” Psalm 33:12. Don’t wait for little Barrack to bow his tiny little knee before Almighty God (Jesus). It may never happen. Bow yours and do what Jesus says. This will bring about the change America desperately needs.

Failure is not an option

2009-04-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

The tea party's have ended but that is just the beginning, this is no time to sleep or say ok back to work...NO we must press on.

We have so many fronts we must tackle for example the latest one with the Release of the Home land Security Report... (which there is a bit of pressure beign put on them over BUT NOT ENOUGH)

ALL you out there listen up and listen up good, this is craziness and even when Clinton did it he showed a bit more constraint. Barry is not hiding one iota of the fact he is a Fascist Marxist commie, with the mind set having said... our constitution being a fundamental flaw, the need to reinvent our foundation, do ... Read More away with failed capitalism, end term limits, Mandatory volunteering (especially to get college loans), Governmental take overs of Insurance companies, Banks and the Health care system and a Czar for almost everything you can think of from tHE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM (WHICH THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY HAS A monopoly on) and now this America better wake up and wake up NOW!

Failure is not an option, Just read Revelation, Isiah and Ezekiel and we can see the future, God is good...all the time!

If we don't wake up America and repent (those of us who are christian Hosea 4:6) death will be for everything for everyone. And sure I am in a win-win situation, I will be gone and right where I want to be at the feet of God but this is no time for selfishness, it is not scriptural. Right now God is Chastening us but if we don't get on our knees and return to "In God we trust" then God will Judge us and that which was written will come to pass sooner rather than later. If we judge our nation we can ease God's wrath but when God judges it is ALWAYS extreme just look at all of the old Testament.

We are seeing Marxism and Communism flaunted in front of us un-apologetically by this Admin.. We the informed the un-indoctrinated are responsible to educate the masses now, we are the last line of defense so this is no time for sissyness (lol, is that a word)
Stand up, Speak out and Hunker Down...giddy up. This is gettin out right Dangerous for real for real can you imagine an America where YOU are labeled a threat (and possibly a terrorist recruit) because you disagree with the current administration.....because you stand for protection of the unborn (a culture of life verse death).....or maybe just because you oppose too much government control or taxes....or how about just because you support a third party candidate? Well guess what!? It is coming quicker than I ever expected! it is hearNo doubt on Obama's or Napalitano's orders, the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence and Analysis Directorate has now created their own Gestapo/KGB element. The new "Extremism and Radicalization Branch" will start watching ANYONE who disagrees with Obama's ideology. We saw the start of this during his campaign and those who voted for Obama turned a blind eye (it is a slow fade when you give yourself away and we are being corralled like wild pigs..do you know how they catch wild pigs? if not look it up cause that is us)Interesting how they leaked their first report for media release (titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment") just before disgrunted Americans come out for nationwide "Tea Parties"Even more disturbing is that the new administration trying to normalize the venacular of an "extremist" or "radical" as ANYONE who opposes Obama and his administration!I am not an "extremist" because I love America, love life, protect the innocent, believe in the constitution and declaration of independence, no taxation with out representation, they even have categorized those of us who believe in the 1st, 2nd and 10th amendment as target and radical. OH really well people I really think it is about time we show them how normal we are and how radical they are.

Marxism is not an American value, Communism is not an American value. We fought slavery and socialism to be free from Britain and in the civil war, do we forget already... Well I say sure never forget 9/11, never forget pearl Harbor but also we cannot ever forget what it means to be American what it means to be Free and by golly that is what is happening. We are all about to be part of Uncle Sam's plantation.I find it particularly "shameful" that they singled out "Disgrunted Military Veterans" as those they need to watch more carefully!Every single person who is concerned about democracy, freedom and liberty should be hammering their Congressmen to DEMAND that Napalitano be forced to acknowledge what it means to be American. This is an outrage! And if your not Outraged your not Paying attention. There is a radical segment of our country that believes they and government needs absolute control and need to stifle any opposition to push through their agenda, this is reminiscent of many dictatorships only now it is happening in America. People died for your freedom don't let those deaths be in vain SPEAK OUT use the voice of Freedom God Gave you, now that is a choice worth having.

Just Give up, There is pretty much no use calling or trying. Why Bother?

2009-04-03T07:00:00.000-07:00

There is pretty much no use calling

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:9-10

There is no use trying……You know that is how the enemy wants us to think. What does it say in Corinthians – (Eph. 6:11)? know the wiles of the devil or in other words the methods of the devil, that is what the word Wiles means. He doesn’t have just one method he has many and this is one of them, Why not give up, you can’t win any way. Why not give up on that loved one or on trying it is hopeless, so go ahead just have that abortion. Don’t bother calling or writing your senators they are all a bunch of liberals in the tank for Obama any way. Why try, just quit, you can’t, don’t bother this is just one of the WIELS of the enemy, we know better don’t we. Know them and defeat them, overcoming them by the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11). Not only is nothing impossible for God (Luke 1:37) but as Pastor said this week we have to keep “rowing” even when the waves are pounding around us (matthew 14:22-33,Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21). Do we fight for something noble and good? Meditate on that which is good and heavenly (Philippians 4:8), Are we fixed on something that is right? If so then no matter what you win. (Rev. 17:14; 19:11-16)What side is God on, yes the side of souls and winning souls yes, but God is for goodness and righteousness – Agape (1 Corinthians 13) and sometimes when everyone around you is blind (Matthew 15:14) you have to take a step of faith and lead (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Even if it seems hopeless, pointless and in vain. God knows better, we only have to be His hands and feet extended. First and foremost through prayer, an effective prayer life is essential but then there is action required. Who is more wrong the one blindly following after darkness, those who call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20) or those of us who know what is good and what is not and just let others perish? We all get tired and faint, but isn’t that why we have Jesus and each other? That we would strengthen one another, as iron strengthens iron so we strengthen one to another(Proverbs 27:17). We are called to edify each other, sometimes we preach to the lost and other times to the choir but if no one is speaking how will anyone hear. In humbling our Spirit to Gods’ and moving as He is moving In taking the lead we are being servants and by serving we are leading so either way we are obeying and in obeying we are taking up His yoke and He says take up my yoke for my burden is light. Sure in the natural we grow tired and weary and faint as all the saints of old have but isn’t that when our effective prayer life kicks into high gear, where we just stop and sit and bask in His presence, we take a step back to be lifted as on eagles wings to be refreshed and refilled by His spirit. But to give up and let the world win, nah that is not in us,(Psa 25:2) for we are children of God. So take a moment, sit with the Lord today, no never mind, right now invite the Lord to come, just get up or get down and praise Him, (Eph 5:20, Psalm 34:1, Psa 8:1, Psalm 150, Genesis 29:35) put on some music and sing to Him a new song, Shout to the Lord, Lift your hands and praise Him, bow before him and give Him honor, stand before him and shout you are good Lord you are Good and your mercy endures forever, Dance before the Lord and delight yourself in Him, give him a clap offering, anything Just take a moment go to your prayer closet be refreshed and then sit and listen for that still soft voice and then go answer the call and do the next right thing. Psalms 37:4

1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: (and who does God call foolish? …Psalm 53. 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.) Ok yes this is a whole different study but that was in short, In very short

This is all for God’s Glory, not ours, we press on with our eye on the mark not for ourselves but For the Glory of God, to show the world who our God is that they too would be saved and have eternal life, even those who hate us and spitefully persecute us

Eph 3:13
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

We are partakers of Christ(Hbr 3:14), joint heirs with Christ so faint not saints press on and do your thing be confident and steadfast to the end. Finish the race. Know for what cause you fight and that in the end nothing we can say or do has effect only when the spirit of God moves on whom He chosen, when He chosen will there be a harvest, that He would get all the Glory but we still His instruments in His perfect Will.

Here are a few scriptures to help us all stand and be refreshed, Normally I just post the Scripture ref’s without the words but this time I will compromise that :D I will give partials, but it is up to you to go read the whole thing, before and after to have context :D and as well I only put a hand full here, there are so many more, diligently seek Him and you will be rewarded. Hbr 10:35 (read till 39 though it is awesome) ok fine 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:“ For yet a little while,And He[j] who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the[k]just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back ,My soul has no pleasure in him.” [But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

I hope this helps in what ever struggle you are facing today, because though my heart is heavy with Politics and the goodness of those who rule over us/me, I know as I was writing and studying this Word touched me even in my everyday life and the things I am struggling with on a personal level so Yeah come on saints, let us not forget who we serve and why. Because He first loved us, He called us out of darkness and into the light and His faithfulness is forever Psalms 136 (man I feel a second wind coming but will stop) and not only to us but to our posterity Psalms 100:5

Hebrews 12:1-5
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.

Luk 18:1
And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

1Pe 4:19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

1Cr 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

2Th 3:13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

1Pe 4:19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Psa 104:27
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.

Isa 40:30- 31
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

2Cr 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.

Mat 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(read all of chapters 2 and 3)
Rev 2:26
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Rev 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Pro 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.

And a couple other scriptures
Psa 119:15
1Ti 4:15

And as a last thought Called to
Genesis 12:1-9 (call of Abram); Exodus 3:1-6 (call of Moses); Judges 6:11-24 (call of Gideon); 1 Samuel 3:1-21 (call of Samuel); Isaiah 6:1-8 (call of Isaiah); Luke 1:26-56 (call of Mary); Matthew 4:18-22 (call of the disciples); Acts 9:1-19 (call of Paul); Acts 16:11-15 (call of Lydia) each of our stories are different and each of our gifts are different but God has still called you, who is He calling you to be? I don’t know I just know we are not the blind and thus as God moves so must we, we cannot just let people around us believe a lie and live in ignorance because we know the truth and so be it, can we?

Well hope that keeps you busy as you go get some refreshment : )

Talking Points:

#1--I OPPOSE the Obama budget and any budget that increases taxesduring these tough economic times (Obama's budget has anestimated $2 trillion in new taxes).

#2-- I OPPOSE the Obama budget because it increases our federaldebt by over $9 trillion. We must STOP the spending.

#3-- I OPPOSE the Obama budget and any budget that imposessocialized health care or the carbon tax. The budget shouldnot be used to launch these massive government programs.

#4-- I OPPOSE the Democrats' use of the "reconciliation process"to allow simple majority votes in the Senate to pass thesemassive expansions of government. I demand a real debateon these issues!taking just a few moments of your time to call your New Yorksenators and representative--demanding they refrain from supportinga budget that dramatically raises taxes and spending while imposingmassive new government programs.

This is not the kind of lasting legacy we need to leave for ourchildren and grandchildren--and our elected officials need tohear that!

or send an email or a fax something like this is fine

Dear

Stop the Spending, VOTE NO, this budget does not represent us the people, We understand that cuts will have to be made and times will be tough but in the end we will emerge a stronger, leaner more efficient country and look more like America.

The Budget should not be the launching pad for socialized medicine, it should be voted on separately and on its own merit. As well This budget has an est. 2 trillion dollars in new taxes, and though I am far from rich, it is just plain wrong. Federal government is stepping all over the tenth amendment and as states we should be rejecting it on that alone but this massive budget will increase the federal debt by over 9 trillion dollars. This is not the change we need in America.

I know you all didn’t exactly read the Recovery /stimulus act so I wanted to point out that this budget is fiscally irresponsible, we are being chastised by Putin and the Chinese about going down the socialist road, that is pretty bad. Us citizens are paying attention and taking names and with the mid-term 2010 elections coming we are not going to forget how each of you all voted. And among other things like besides what I have mentioned already President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have gone on a spending and debt spree that the country cannot afford.

Under the Obama budget, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the national debt will double over the next five years; and it will triple over the next 10 years to $17.3 trillion.Under the Obama budget, CBO projects that the national debt will soar over the next 10 years from 40 percent of GDP today to a shocking 82.4 percent. (Ronald Reagan left office with the national debt at 42 percent of GDP). The president's budget also states that total federal borrowing will grow by $2.7 trillion this year alone, an increase of 27 percent in one year!

Stand up and speak out, Vote No

Respectfully,

and for just a bit o extra info if you want/need it

Ten Tax Facts for Tax Day Tea Parties 03/31/2009 http://www.ipi.org/

President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have gone on a spending and debt spree that the country cannot afford. As a result, a spontaneous grassroots movement is emerging from every corner of the nation with a message for Congress and the president:

Stop spending us into an inevitable spiral of debt and higher taxes … now!To that end, groups of Americans will be meeting in towns and cities across the nation on April 15 for “Tax Day Tea Parties” (think Boston Tea Party, not biscuits and fine English china).

These “Ten Tax Facts” are our effort to make sure the American people are well- informed as they gather together to express their concern about the direction Washington is headed.

#1 .Under the Obama budget, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the national debt will double over the next five years; and it will triple over the next 10 years to $17.3 trillion.

#2. Under the Obama budget, CBO projects that the national debt will soar over the next 10 years from 40 percent of GDP today to a shocking 82.4 percent. (Ronald Reagan left office with the national debt at 42 percent of GDP).

#3. The president’s budget also states that total federal borrowing will grow by $2.7 trillion this year alone, an increase of 27 percent in one year!

#4. The budget President Obama proposes for this year increases federal spending by an incredible 34 percent over the previous year, with a total of $4 trillion in federal spending, the highest ever.

#5. The federal budget deficit (not the national debt) would reach $1.845 trillion this year, according to the CBO, the highest ever. That would be more than seven times Reagan’s largest budget deficit of $221 billion, which caused so much consternation among Reagan’s critics.

#6. The CBO estimates that this Obama budget deficit will total an astounding 13.1 percent of GDP, more than one-eighth of the entire U.S. economy, for the federal budget deficit alone! Under George Bush, the federal deficit for 2008 was 3.2 percent of GDP. The deficit for fiscal year 2007, in the last budget adopted when Congress was controlled by Republican majorities, was $162 billion, or 1.2 percent of GDP.

#7. The Obama budget also includes $1 trillion in tax increases on the upper 5 percent of income earners, mostly tax rate increases. But the top 5 percent of income earners already pays 60 percent of all income taxes.

#8. The Obama budget projects that revenues from the corporate income tax will more than double in 3 years, increasing, in fact, by more than 124 percent.

#9. Another $645 billion tax increase comes from President Obama’s anti-global warming cap and trade system, which is essentially an energy tax on the production and use of carbon energy, such as oil, natural gas, and coal.

#10. While the Obama administration claims to have cut $2 trillion from the budget over 10 years, fully $1.5 trillion of those “cuts” actually represents the troop drawdown in Iraq, which was already scheduled to occur under the Bush administration. Of the remaining $500 billion in budget “savings,” fully $311 billion is categorized as “interest savings” but is actually an additional tax increase on upper income earners.It’s not as if you can’t stimulate economic growth while at the same time cutting government spending. President Reagan did it. Reagan adopted budget cuts soon after he entered office equal to close to 5 percent of the federal budget at the time. Even with his defense buildup, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5 percent of GDP in 1983 to 21.3 percent in 1988 and 21.2 percent in 1989. That’s a 10 percent real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy. Reagan’s policies conquered inflation and started a 25-year period of economic growth, which would look awfully good today.

It has only been 60 Days, and let us see…..a partial list. Gun Ban list

2009-03-26T13:20:00.000-07:00

So we have the HR 1388 Bill (mandatory service, volunteering) http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92902

http://rightsoup.com/tucked-into-obamas-civil-service-bill-h-r-1388-no-protesting-allowed/

we have this Gun-ban list proposed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv3p2lLmjGk - http://www.gunlaws.com/gloa.htm

we have a mega super Budget:
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/bg2249.cfm -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94lW6Y4tBXs -

And does anyone remember the "Million Man March" and the purpose of it? you think anyone is connecting any dots, for real fore real?

Plus let us not forget The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner unprecedented powers to seize non-bank financial companies, investment firms and hedge funds. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/23/AR2009032302830.html

In another indication that China is growing increasingly concerned about holding huge dollar reserves, the head of its central bank has called for the eventual creation of a new international currency reserve to replace the dollar. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/24/world/asia/24china.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper

Harvard professor Laurence Tribe, who advised Obama during the campaign, believes the House AIG bonus bill is unconstitutional.

Then we have the long list of Pro-Abortionist on Obama's Cabinet http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/nov/08112505.html

and Obama's desire to over turn the conscience clause for doctors http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/27/conscience.rollback/

and the F.O.C.A Bill he so loves. http://www.fightfoca.com/

anyway here is proposed gun list ban

Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress) It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady's plan to introduce shortly. I have an outline of the Brady's current plans and targets of opportunity, It's horrific. They're going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They've made little mention of criminals. Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states' rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment. The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):
Rifles (or copies or duplicates):
M1 Carbine,
Sturm Ruger Mini-14,
AR-15,

hotguns (or copies or duplicates):Armscor 30 BG,SPAS 12 or LAW 12,Striker 12,Streetsweeper.

Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has:(i) a folding or telescoping stock,(ii) a threaded barrel,(iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see below),(iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud.Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can accept more than10 rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rim fire rifles).A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine, and has:(i) a second pistol grip,(ii) a threaded barrel,(iii) a barrel shroud or(iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, and(v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.A semiautomatic shotgun with:(i) a folding or telescoping stock,(ii) a pistol grip (see definition below),(iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds, and(iv) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will:Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any "semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General."Note that Obama's pick for this office, Eric Holder, wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a working firearm in your own home. In making this determination, the bill says, "there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event."In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military is not suitable for the public. The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn't have a sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose -- is that devious or what? And of course, "sporting purpose" is a rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent.Respectfully submitted, Alan Korwin, Author Gun Laws of Americahttp://www.gunlaws.com/gloa.htm

Some say God and Politics don’t mix. Even some Christians say It is not our business to be in Politics. I beg to differ.

I struggled with whether to actually put the scriptures in and not just the verses but ya know, I think we appreciate Knowledge more when we seek it ourselves. And God says His Word will not return to Him void, and since Jesus is the Word why not read it for yourself. Here are just a few scriptures on the matter.

Who lost their mind and became a Black Republican? Conservative, what does that mean anyway?

2009-03-03T07:53:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered what makes a black person be a Republican?

I used to wonder, when I was in my teens, what makes someone choose to be a “Republican”. I mean it sounds so nasty and mean why would any decent person be a republican and moreover how could any black person, or poor person ever be a republican; and with that, I purposed to find out why? Shoot, growing up the world never ever told me MLK jr or Sojourner Truth or any of my personal heroes were all conservatives, I had no idea until I endeavored on my own outside of the walls of indoctrination.

As a single mother and someone who lives pay check to pay check and a Christian I was curious a bit about this Barak guy but as a Black American I want to tell you something, I wanted him to be the one. I wanted him to be the real deal ya know. And I held out a long time for that to be the case. There is something people can’t truly get about this unless you are black. Now I am not trying to be flipped and I know there are many who really get the struggle of what it means to be a black person through the generations, I get that. But to truly understand the pride we feel as a black American to see a Black man up there running for office, man I was on that like white on rice :D, to endorse this guy Barak Obama. I was like hot dog ya know, so I read up on this guy, I read both his books, looked at his record in Illinois and the Senate and all these red flags started popping up. And I promptly ignored many of them, if not all of them, I mean he is black after all and I am mixed (Indian, Black and white). I really understood a lot of the things he was saying, I identified with him A lot. But I noticed some things I could not ignore as a Christian first and foremost and well that is what disturbs me most. How so many strong and staunch Christians have totally tanked for Obama, forsaking God and God’s Will for a man and the color of a man’s skin. Abortion, Israel, I am my brothers keeper, Justice, Morality, all these thing just became garbage in the blink of an eye because a man was standing up there, black. Most black Americans and any real Christian doesn’t think homosexuality is normal, nor believes in abortion and here we have a man standing up there telling us that not only is abortion ok but that infancide is ok. And with that I had to come back to reality and who I was, what I believe, I had choose and that is really what this is about. Who am I as a conservative I had to hold onto my values tight and not let my self get caught up in the emotions of the moment, for emotions often cloud the reality of truth. So have you ever wondered…….

Conservative: What does that mean? Who is the conservative and what do they believe anyway?

Being a Black conservative is something someone has to come out of the closet about. It is not for the faint of heart, ya know, but It should be. As a black American I was raised as a liberal and when I first started coming of age I professed the title Democrat like a good little black girl, just as I was always told I was, and I was fine with that. It made sense, fairness and equality for all, I mean who would not be down for that? And I was told Republicans well they were all about keeping me down so it made sense I would be a democrat. But you know I started thinking…., about how people were still poor and about how people in my community had this mentality that they could not succeed even if they tried their hardest so why bother and I was like see how the republican man is keeping us down, mentally enslaving us and I started reading and researching things, trying to make connection and show people that the man (republicans) were the cause of our still plight, and that they infested our neighborhoods with drugs to help oppress us even longer. Through that I started making connections and seeing some patterns that didn’t fit. The foundation of the Republican party was the anti-slavery movement, they were created for the expressed purpose to abolish slavery and with that came an assault against them, that continues till this day.

Points of conservatism

Principles, values, love & compassion with a cherry, morality is not circumstantial.
Conservatives are for personal responsibility, the sacredness of life, working hard, and being kind to others. That’s all it is about or has ever been about.

• To be a person who is accountable for his or her actions and takes care of
himself and those who are unable to care for themselves.
• We love this country and the people of this country.
• To believe in that which makes logical sense rather than that which is borne
out of emotion and is supposed to make me feel good
• It takes a village to raise a child, not the government.
• Being all you can be, Conservatives believe in YOU, that YES YOU CAN! I, We
are not a bunch of idiots who need “Big Brother” to run our lives and tell
us what is best, I will figure out for myself what is best for me and mine. So thanks but no thanks for now.
• The Smaller the Federal Government the Safer we are, Government is not my
mom or dad and certainly not God
• The General welfare not entitlement welfare
• We believe that the government has been set to watch over and lead the
country, not control everything anyone does
• A balanced budget, low taxes and small government
• A literal translation of the constitution, not letting the courts infer
meaning to it. (No Legislating from the bench)
• Freedom of religion, does not mean freedom from religion
• The belief in free speech, even if it's not politically correct and even if
it does offend people. That is part of Freedom.
• Helping others, I am my brothers keeper
• Giving, If I do, government doesn’t have to
• Personal responsibility
• Sacredness of life. It is LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without
LIFE nothing else has any meaning. Every life has a purpose, a destiny and a
right to exists.Every Life has value from the elderly, to the young, to the unborn.
• Being kind to others means doing unto others as you would have them do to
you- treat others respectfully with a good heart. These are the things which make up the conservative values and principles

There are some polar opposites

• Liberals believe in the power of the collective, collectivism
• Conservatives believe in the power of the individual, individualism

All other things are a spin off of these two truths

• Liberals Idea of compassion is how many people they can get on welfare
• Conservatives idea of compassion is how many people they can get off (or
free of) welfare

We love people. We believe in people. We recognize that we are all individuals. We don't see groups. Conservatives see America as a group of human beings, not blacks and whites, men and women, Asians and Arabs, we are not Jews and Christians or Hindus and Muslims we are simply people. We don't see people as groups we can exploit. We don’t see rich and poor. Class envy is pointless. We don’t see the problem but instead look at the potential. We don't think hey that person doesn't have what it takes, and that person does. We believe and want every person to be the best he or she wants to be and can be if certain things are just removed from their path like too much government, indoctrination, onerous taxes, regulations and the elitist mentality. Circumstances are not an excuse but an obstacle to overcome.

Our founding fathers were some of the most brilliant men ever assembled and divinely inspired. We revere our founding documents; We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity
We hold these words of Beauty as something to be cherished; The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty, Freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. And that creator is God, Jesus Christ.

We don't want to tell anybody how to live. That's up to you. We believe in limits and rules sure, it is like playing a baseball game, have you ever tried to play a baseball game with no rules? What would happen?

”We love the people of this country. And we want this to be the greatest country it can be, but we do understand, as people created and endowed by our creator, we're all individuals. We resist the effort to group us. We resist the effort to make us feel that we're all the same, that we're no different than anybody else. We're all different. There are no two things or people in this world who are created in a way that they end up with equal outcomes. That's up to them. They are created equal, given the chance.” Rush Limbaugh.

Martin Luther King Jr. understood it. He understood that there was this group of people who not only wanted to, but did judge a man by the content of his character and not the color of his skin. He strove to have that be the mainstream and not the minority of people, and yet till this day it is not the case. When I came into the presence of conservatives and would open my mouth and speak I noticed immediately wow these people are judging my words and my actions and my character not my skin color, they are not looking down on me with pity and sorrow like oh poor baby, you were born black and down trodden, but would say right on, right on. There was not this patronizing, condescending attitude like “Oh, come here let me help you” or “ let me explain to you” No it was hey God gave you a brain, so use it.

This whole school of thought that conservatives have is the exact opposite of what I grew up with. And well, when I finally understood what the conservative movement was saying and what it meant, I realized that I had been duped, I had been lied to and I had bought it hook line and sinker and that is a hard thing to swallow. Now that was not the end, I could have stayed in that lie and said ok that is that, I am where I am, and try to manipulate the truth. I had a choice to stay or make a break for it, and I choose to take the information I had and run with it, expand my mind and look beyond my own bigotry and say yeah I want that, I want to believe in me and not what government can do for me. And so I endeavored to understand it even more, I took the time to look through this school of thought with out blinders on and I realized why my people were still down, It was no longer a physical slavery, but in mental slavery, and it got me down right hot and fired up; The democratic party was who was promoting it and patronizing me. So yeah I love America, because in America I have a choice, I have freedom, I have liberty (for now) and I can demand justice. I have a voice and I can choose to use it, and you have an ear which to hear.

May you look out into the horizons and endeavor yourself beyond the limits of indoctrination.

Bush kept the economy strong? why is unemployment still falling? Where is the JUMP? Why are investors not investing?

2009-02-27T08:07:00.000-08:00

Bush kept the economy strong through the beginning recession handed to him from Clinton, 9/11, Katrina, 2 Wars, and Hurricane Gustav and was still able to keep our economy going and in positive growth.

It was the American peoples irresponsible spending and credit habits and The Fannie and Freddie Debacle that things got to the critical point of destruction.

So if Bush was able keep things a float through 4 Historic and major catastrophes our country has ever known, and that was Historic in itself. Why does the left continue to run around saying Bush did nothing?

Bush had some reckless spending habits but Obama is doing the same exact thing, if the left was helping to build the Bailout bill and were voting for and passing the bill (by a larger margin than the right). How was the bill not bi-partisan?
House:
Democrats: For 172 Against 63
Republicans: For 91 Against 108

Senate:
Democrats: For 38 Against 9
Republicans: For 33 Against 15
Independents: For 1 Against 1

Congressional Totals
Democrats For 210 Against 72
Republicans For 124 Against 133

If we were against it then and now it has become out of control why should we support it now?

Our economy is not getting better, and if we are making a Stimulus Bill to jump start the economy, and make jobs why is unemployment still falling? Where is the JUMP? Why are investors not investing? Why is consumer confidence still falling?

If the Bailout was to fix the Credit Crunch and the Fannie/Freddie Debacle to get lenders to start lending again, people to start buying cars again and all that jazz then why are we spending money on a Stimulus Bill that has now become a Recovery plan and down payment on nationalized health care?

We as a people had better wake up, it is essential we stop following around blindly and acting like we must go along with plans that go directly against the American Dream and Directly against the Will of God.

It is possible to have voted for a person and then say hey I made a mistake, or hey I don’t agree with this person 100%. There are times He proposes something I don’t agree with, I mean shoot there are times God suggests things I don’t agree with, now I try not to disobey God but I have no problem disobeying a man even one I respect. I voted for Clinton the first time and realized I made a mistake, I voted for Bush and realized he was not near the conservative I thought he was in some areas, and during those times of disagreement I made it known, I did not sit back and say oh well maybe he knows better or blame Clinton for a bad decision Bush made.

We are at an imperative moment in history and people better start swallowing their pride and quick or we will all fall, and fall hard.

Why is it that those making 85k a year qualify for State healthcare assistance and so do their children (and mind you their 30 year old children)
And if you make 60k a year you can qualify for H.E.A.P Well and they say Barry is no Socialist, hmmmmm

Then why Are the Chi-coms and Putin both warning us to not go down the socialist road? I mean the world depends on us because we are not Socialists or communist and they know that if it happens to us then hey 1500’s here we come.

"Survival of the fittest" not the richest

2009-02-09T06:44:00.000-08:00

The Bunker:

Who are we? Are we Americans? Are we not the greatest? Can we not do anything? Then what is this lie that if these banks and/or business's fail our nation will fail?

If one fails then another rises up!
To quote Darwin :) ..... "Survival of the fittest" not the richest and yet it seems we are all falling into this trap that only the rich are not allowed to fail. I know the likes of AIG has its hands in everything but if it is pensions we are worried about then use the "stimulus" to payoff those pensions and then let AIG fail :D

If they fail then someone else can and will just come along and start again. The next guy in line who thought I will never get a shot all of a sudden gets a shot.

We only fail as a nation when we, the masses start believing the lie, and start believing we can't unless government does!!! That is not Biblical and it is not what America was built upon.

So be a free thinker, Stand up, Rise up and Speak out for what you believe in but get ready to Hunker down as the daggers start flying your way as you voice yourself against the machine.

Write your congress men! Write your representative and talk to your neighbors In Love, in all humility and with only the truth. You can do it, I believe in you.

Bushonomics on steroids, Dig your way out of a hole

2009-02-09T06:33:00.000-08:00

Before President Bush took office

· The federal government took in $2 trillion in revenue in 2000. In 2009, the federal government is expected to take in $2.4 trillion.
· After eight years under President Bush, the federal government is taking in $400 billion more a year in revenue.
· So why did Congressional Budget Office project a $1.4 trillion deficit for the 2009 budget? Massive spending increases.
· As McClatchy reports "George W. Bush, despite all his recent bravado about being an apostle of small government and budget-slashing, is the biggest spending president since Lyndon B. Johnson.
In fact, he's arguably an even bigger spender than LBJ." McClatchy goes on to detail Bush's spending binge including an 18% increase in education spending, a doubling of agriculture spending, the 2003 Medicare expansion which was the "biggest single expansion in the programs history", and the $295 billion 2005 infrastructure bill.

1. So to recap, in 2000 the federal government spent just $1.8 trillion.
2. Now the CBO estimates that the feds will spend almost double that, $3.5 trillion, in 2009 (and that does not include Obama's Trillion Dollar Debt Plan)
3. Combining the increased $400 billion in revenue with the $1.7 trillion increase in spending, we see that the mountains of debt Obama is whining about inheriting all came from massive increases in federal spending.

It was borrowing and spending that got us into this mess.

When you find yourself in a hole shouldn’t you simple stop digging?

Are we Sheep or men? Do we follow the Obamanus Spendulus pass the pork package which is just Bushonomics on steroids or will we actually demand change?

Why wont the Democrats acknowledge Rush Limbaugh and yet will recognize Hamas and their right to exist? Working out a thought

2009-01-16T11:26:00.000-08:00

Reason with me, Working out this thought

Obama has said he is willing to meet with Iran Dictator without precondition etc… and yet wont have an interview with Rush or any other true conservative and ok not just Obama, that is unfair but 95% of democrats. None of them are willing to acknowledge or take on what conservatives believe or look them in the face and discuss and negotiate and yet they will with Hamas.

Does that make sense? What does this tell us about the nature of the left?

Let me see if I can convey what is in this brilliant little head of mine or should I make this several questions as not to overload. So please any ideas, concepts, just trying to work this thought out

Anger begets anger and thus a vicious circle right?

Israel and Hamas for example – How does that vicious cycle stop? Some say one side has to grow up and extend a hand in friendship etc…, right? But Hasn’t Israel done that repeatedly… and so then doesn’t it then come down to it takes tow, like a marriage I guess. If you reach your hand out to a rabid dog In peace and love or a rabid raccoon what ever where does that get you?

Ok bare with me still so now can we take that to the next step or even the step before (an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure right) in the USA Israel is like the Republicans And Hamas like the Democrats
Which is evident when you see what side each usually lands and also taking into consideration the irrationality of hate and name calling etc from the left (in general – as there is no such thing as an absolute)

So with that said and Knowing how Bush (watch the rabid dogs bark and start attacking, they wont be able to help it – foaming at the mouth) reached across the isle and worked hard to bring a new tone to the White house and how well he was received as he bent over backwards and took every liberty to try and work with them, doesn’t that more show the vicious cycle and that trying to reason with emotions and irrationality doesn’t work. The only way to win is to over power and just do what has to be done no questions asked and no looking back, Stand up and speak out?

Treasury Secretary-nominee Speak up America

2009-01-14T09:27:00.000-08:00

Speak up America

So now we are not only trying to appoint people we already know are shady (what kind of vetting process is really going on) but will he be confirmed. Sure no one is perfect and sure in the past people get confirmed and then a couple years down the road have to step down cause something comes up but here we have people we know are shady being put up as possible candidates. More over or on the flip side why confirm someone (lets forget about the appointment itself) as TREASURY SECRETARY that is either so ignorant they would make a common mistake, and not just once but 4 times over, or is plain shady.

“The U.S. Senate Finance Committee said on Tuesday that Treasury Secretary-nominee Timothy Geithner had recently paid back taxes and interest of $31,536 due in large part to a failure to pay self-employment taxes while he was working at the International Monetary Fund.”
Obama's transition team said it was a "common" mistake for IMF employees to miss some tax payments because the IMF, unlike most U.S. employers, does not automatically pay or deduct self-employment taxes on behalf of employees.
America what is going on? I have never in my life seen or read anything like what is happening in this day. America needs to really wake up and say lets not change for the worse but for the better. I thought hope was to hope for a better tomorrow not hope things just change period anything is better than what was?
Following are details of Geithner's tax errors:
TAX YEAR TOTAL TAX AND INTEREST
2001 $ 3,320
2002 $22,650
2003 $14,430
2004 $ 2,302
TOTAL $42,702
Yeah let’s welcome in the new Treasury Secretary of the USA. NOT!!!

Everyone keeps asking me how do I feel about Obama’s win?

2008-11-05T10:07:00.001-08:00

I keep wanting to push them away and be like dang who cares but instead I began to think on it and for now…….
I don't know how I feel it is such a mix of emotions. I am still taking it all in and filtering through my emotions to find that balance of logic and emotions. I felt overwhelming Sadness when I woke up, and sadness is not something I am used to feeling. I felt bad for my country and who we have become as a nation. But as I saw the faces of those I passed on the streets and bus stops I felt some hope. Hope for them, they had smiles and I see them every day and usually they are not smiling (unless I wave or stop and say hi with a smile) and I thought OK See it will be ok - Maybe this was for them, it is not about me but giving to them that have bought into the lie that they can't or that the America Dream is not for them and now they can say yes it is. I can. Maybe that is what I was missing through this whole thing. and I can pray I have been wrong, I beg to be wrong that I have been the ignorant one as they said that my blindness was my pride. That not everyone is like me, not everyone knows they can, and that Obama no matter if he runs us into a Socialist nation or not has infused a people with a new thought, I am my own destiny and they will be able to hold on to that and step into it with boldness. Never letting it go and never reverting back to the crutch they have held onto for the last 30 years. So the Obama win is bitter sweet but no matter God is on the throne and knows what is best for all, not dems or republicans or conservatives or liberals but all - God said I am no respecter of persons, and concerned only with the eternal soul so I will hold to that. I feel like maybe the words in His books were just words. I feel nervous but hopeful because in the end We are one nation united under God and Love overcomes fear. So if the hearts of the people is Love what is there to be afraid of. But I am afraid also that Socialism will gain a strong foot hold in our nation and destroy what we have built over the last 200 years. as though resistance is futile and we too will be assimilated. But that brings me to gratitude and makes me feel passion. To remember who I am as a conservative and that nothing can change anything except Love. So I feel today the same as I felt yesterday only hopefully today I feel more for my fellow man than I did yesterday. Father I am Clay in your hands.

I welcome the title ignorant and stupid.
May Obama be a GREAT PRESIDENT and prove me wrong.

Vote Black?

2008-11-01T15:55:00.000-07:00

by Elder G. Craige Lewis of EX Ministries

http://www.blackvoices.com/boards/news-and-sports/elections/election-hub/new-blog-by-g-craige-lewis-vote-black/2883/1?utc=true

The 2008 Hip Hop Awards came on the other day and it proved one thing to me. Some black folks will be dumb until Jesus comes back! How can anyone look at pimps, thugs, and gangsters as a good thing that needs to be celebrated? How did Hip Hop become the voice of our youth to the point that the black church is bending over backwards for it's acceptance? This is a shame. But one thing that they did on this show that really got me going was the push for a "black" vote in the election. Not knowing the issues at hand, but yet and still, they constantly pushed the young folks and Hip Hop fans to "vote black" this election.

How embarrassing! These folks undid everything that Dr. Martin Luther King dreamed of in one dumb hour! They took apart his dream and the civil rights movement by pointing to the black candidate as the mandatory vote of black people. This is sad. Martin Luther King said that he dreamed of the day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character! How can you say, "vote black" and not go against that dream? Just because an African man mixed with white is running does not mean he is the right choice or the only choice for black people. We are moving to the back of the bus again and we don't even see it. As far as straight politics goes, Blacks are the only race of people that are not bipartisan. We have been conditioned to be on one side and never split our vote. Other races and ethnic groups including, Hispanics, Catholics, and Jews put people on both sides of the ticket for leverage and a voice no matter how the pendulum swings. But blacks stay at the back of the bus and don't spread out so when we lose, we lose our voice and power. That's slave mentality.

Our freedom to vote is our right to vote that was fought for by many civil rights leaders in the past. This is the right to vote either way, republican or democrat, and most importantly, it is our right to NOT vote at all if we don't feel that either candidate deserves our support. We have corrupted the freedom of voting so much these days that people don't even know the issues at hand and they are just voting the color of their skin or what pop culture is dictating to them. I'm sorry folks, but we can't stay on this road. This is the road that leads to the accepting of the mark of the beast. This is the road that hides the truth and promotes the lie. This road will get you voting for economics rather than morality. And that's the road that will lead to the Antichrist! The bible said that in the end, you will not be able to buy or sell unless you pledge your allegiance to the beast! Buy or sell? That's economics. That's money! And if you are voting for economic reasons and not considering morality or your own convictions, then you are essentially doing exactly what the bible predicts will happen in the end. People will begin to vote in the man that will lead us to the Antichrist and the end. They will vote this man in based on economic issues and popularity. He will be voted in because of the financial crisis of the government and people will not even consider his true moral ethics. Black Christian leaders have totally abandoned the bible in this election. They have chosen culture over Christ and have accepted the 3 things that the Antichrist will implement in his rule. Abortion, Homosexuality, and the silencing of the truth! These things are on the table and being ignored because of the color of a man's skin?

Muhammad Ali faced the challenge of not fighting in an American war because it went against his religious convictions. He became an African American hero because of it. With that said, if you do not feel that either candidate in this race fits your conviction, then you are obligated to NOT vote at all. I know black people go crazy when you talk like this and they bring up all the slaves that died and the folks that fought for your right to vote. Yet in that same breath, they don't think of the millions that have died of AIDS through homosexual activity, the millions of lives that are not here because of abortion, nor do they consider the millions that are deceived because the church is silent on moral issues!

Sure many fought and died for the right to vote. But that fight was not just for a right to vote, but a right to chose to vote. After all, if we are forced to vote, we didn't have a right to not vote and thus we are still bound and not free. And if you don't have a choice that is comfortable or in line with your convictions, then what do you do? Pick the lesser of 2 evils? Or pick the black man because you are black? God forbid! I will not be guilty of ushering in the Antichrists policies because a man is of color! I am not practicing to receive the mark of the beast. And if you are voting against your own beliefs and bible for the sake of money, color, or party biases, then you have just passed the mark of the beast test. You have just proven that socialistic reasons supersede your spiritual convictions! And this is exactly what the Antichrist will do. He will exalt himself above God and make his immoral beliefs acceptable by all. And without question we see that Barack Obama has caused preachers and pastors, great and small, to follow him in spite of his Antichrist morals. Abortion, homosexuality, and the silencing of the church are on his ticket and yet black church folks don't care. The very things that are killing us as a people are the very things that we are in favor of. The scariest part is that this is just rehearsal for the coming rule of the Antichrist and the black church has lined up on the wrong side! I'm not saying that McCain is the answer, but I'm saying that if you are voting, your convictions as a believer in the bible should out weigh every thing else.

How did we get here? Why are we ignoring the obvious here? The money problems America is having is just a prelude to the coming of the one world government and the rule of the Antichrist. That's why his policies are being tested here in America. I'm not calling Obama the Antichrist, but I'm saying his policy is in line with the morality of the King of the East that will rise up and rule. Barack Obama plans to go into churches and demand that they accept the homosexual agenda. Michelle Obama even bragged at the gay and lesbian counsel of the Democratic National Convention about going into a black church and telling them to stop being homophobic and accept the gay agenda. You can hear it for yourself below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Kxi8eeo3U

Yet, the black church is so full of homosexual activity, it was a plan all along by the enemy to get these homosexual leaders of the black churches in power so that when this agenda comes through the White House, they would lead their flocks directly into it. God showed me 15 years ago that every major black pentecostal denomination would be lead by a homosexual before Jesus returns. And now, they are all in place and leading this nations black churches into the arms of the Antichrist by pushing an agenda that is not of God. Barack even hired a gay pastor to travel with him and Donnie McClurkin to black churches and was welcomed with open arms. What is this? Isn't AIDS the number 1 killer of black people? Isn't abortion black genocide with 1400 performed every day in the black community? Wasn't the black church once the pillar of our community and the moral guide for our youth? Now, all of these things are being undone and reversed because of the Antichrist agenda that is working behind the scenes. What a perfect setup!

Don't get me wrong. White people are as much to blame for the "vote black" mindset as blacks are. You see, if the white leaders of this nation had stood up for blacks in America and confessed their wrong treatment of us and repented openly about it, then healing could have taken place. They should have put our history in the white history books and they should have repented openly and made real atonement for the unjust treatment of our people a long time ago. You can't sweep 400 years of oppression under a rug and expect it to vanish. It's still there and it requires effort to correct more than just 1 month of the year. You see, racism is at the forefront of American politics now because it's been ignored and hidden for so many years. Don't get me wrong, I do feel that we have progressed some as a people, yet we have so many issues because we have not had proper healing from what happened to us. With that said, when the black man that was pushed to the back of the bus sees Obama, he sees justice. When the black woman that was called Nigger all her young life sees Obama, she sees justice. When the preachers that saw the White churches prosper and the black churches shunned see Obama, they see justice. White people that are reading this will never understand what it feels like to be discriminated against because of color. They don't know what it feels like to be called an animal or less than human and treated like a reject! But blacks have experienced that and it's caused us to want justice on a grand scale. And to many, Barack Obama represents progress, justice, and atonement for our people.

But, if his policy and his morality does not line up with the God we serve as true believers, then is it justice or is it a setup? Those of us that have been discriminated against and treated unfairly by whites because of our race need healing. And because this nation has not offered us a just version of healing or paid us just due, we are still hurting as a race of people. But isn't that what Jesus is all about? Wasn't he the savior of Israel when they were in bondage? Didn't he show himself mighty in their time of turmoil and unjust treatment? Isn't that when the power of God comes into play? Don't miss it people of God. Jesus, not Obama, is the real answer here and we must push him instead of a political system! We must stand on the word of God and not waver in this coming election. If you cast your vote for a man that is for the agenda of the Antichrist, you have just passed the mark of the beast test and proven that you will accept the mark, even if it goes against your convictions as a believer and your bible that you read. Come on saints of God, stand up. Don't let anyone sway you here. It's late in the hour and Jesus is taking notes on where you stand. Your vote is your stand. And it would be better to not vote at all than to cast a vote for the very agenda that the Antichrist will promote.

2008-10-30T09:32:00.001-07:00

Survey of the Issues Please choose A or B for each topic and sometimes C? or D?
Of coarse there are add ons and other angles just pick which is closeset to you. Other wise the survey would be even longer. Sorry cant please all the people all the time ://

Abortion:
A) It is not your body, get over it. Freedom of Choice.
B)Where is the babies choice. I thought we were to be a voice for the voiceless and defend the innocent. Protect and serve I thought that was in our constitution
Freedom of Choice. Let the Baby have a choice. Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness. With out life the other two are Mute.

Immigration:
A) Yes, that is how we all got here.
B) Ellis Island ring a bell
How he would handle relations with Iran:
A) Iran where is that, what is wrong with Iran
B) I thought we have been talking to them for like 30 years now I mean 60. Hmmm I guess history is relative
C) By talking to them.

The situation in Iraq:
A) Ask Iraq what they want.
B) Ok
C) Does innocent blood shed or genocide or 9/11 have any bearing to the situation or action implemented

Energy:
A) Find something we can make ourselves.
B) Ok to A, have at it, let me know when you get that done. Because you know there are no scientists in the USA or anywhere else in the world working on that one.
C) Let’s just keep depending on other countries and destroying their resources then we can worry about using ours

Free trade:
A) I like free stuff. Make goods others will buy.
B) Yep – agreed – the free market works every time
Social Security:
A) Keep your capitalist paws off of it. It is not yours.
B) Hmmmmm Social Security is everyone’s I thought. I thought what was mine was yours and what is yours is mine? Isn’t that the Social Security principle. Guess I need to go back to school.

Stem cell research:
A) Let's learn all we can to better ourselves.
B) Ok Adult stem cells have already proven effective and we have cures for diseases from adult stem cells so lets explore that and get all we can with it. Then we don’t have to cultivate human or whale fetuses for the purpose of destruction. Breed to feed doesn’t sound so compassionate to me.

Taxes:
A) We must pay the man if we want the man to care for US.
B) Uhhhh yeah nuff said there – You did fine on that one – Not what A said

Homeland security:
A) Yep, important
B) We have an Army don't we?

Economy:
A) Pay cuts for Politicians is out then. No reason to expect them to live on 40/50k a year like the average middle class family right? For the people by the people is no longer a legitimate freedom. Cutting programs that don’t work is out of the question also.
Cutting spending on programs that don’t need all the money they get that is also not reasonable, some programs actually have to go out looking for participants in order to meet quota and keep the existing funding, like you have to spend what you got last year in order to get the same amount or more the next year and when they are not going to spend all the money they buy anything in order to make the deadline, so actually doing something about that would not help budget problems.
Oh the list goes on but what ever, yeah raise taxes that is the best way to accomplish fiscal responsibility on our government.
B) Taxes raise money to pay off debts.

Health care:
A) Make mine free please. I have no money for insurance.
B) Canada or France or Germany – funny I mention that my Aunt lives in France and gets free health care from the government – She has cancer (I am serious) they say she might have 5 years left. She has been flying to the USA to get treatment for the last 2 years, her free health care is very bad so she spends money on plan tickets, travel and American doctors to try and help her, although she is on some experimental homeopathic thing in France that is hopeful (God is such a great scientist – having made everything and all) but still she is moving back here for some reason, I don’t get it with health care being free there and all. But yeah your right Free is good and government free is even better – Mmmmm government cheese is the best, I grew up on it
There is a fair system to help everyone who cannot afford insurance and we can and should help those who cannot help themselves – medicade, Medicare, Family health plus, those are all good programs but there are those who get left behind like those in that 15k to 30k range who are single with no kids or dependents, we need to focus on them right now and figure out how to get some affordability to them also they are the work engine of USA. Healthcare is not a right but as my brothers keeper lets try and be therefore each other. But if you have and choose to not get so you can have something else don’t get hot when your hurt and with out insurance. Although we will try to help out if we can anyway, slacker
C) What ever – good health was never promised to anyone – get a better job if you can’t afford health care that’s what I did

Gay rights:
A) Sure agreed- Polygamy, Lets lower age of consent to lets say 2 years old – there are millions of folks who will vote for this one, I like dogs and I want to do mine so bestiality too cause my dog loves me unconditionally so who has the right to tell me right from wrong not you I live in America and love is love. Besides I was born this way I have always liked animals and fantasized about being with one.
B) Rights have a foundation and the foundation is paved by love – Like a mother or father who loves their child.
C) How about everybody gets human rights?

Housing:
A) everyone had the right to own a home, and the government stuck it’s hands into the free market, government regulation forcing private business and creating a partial governmental housing lending institution which had to loan money to people who could not possibly pay it back, In order to be fair to everyone and guaranteed they would pay defaulted loans. Which increased true led to a huge market for sub-prime loans instead of just one or two investors the government took all the risk out of the game and now is making good on that guarantee they made.
B) A mess because some evil folks want to profit.

Environment:
A) God won't fix it... We have to
B) We are called to be good stewards of the Earth and that is all we can do. So who made the sun? How do we get up to the Sun and fix it? Scientist are working on a rocket though that will withstand that heat so yes agreed
C) Do not worship the Creation but the Creator. Arrogance and Pride is unbecoming of such intelligent creatures

Guns:
A) Hunting guns yes. Murdering guns no. (AK47)
B) When there were no guns there was no murdering. No death, No crazies.
And I thought the 2nd amendment was established to make sure we the people could always have a militia incase the federal government (like in socialist and communist countries) got to big for its britches and we the people needed to defend ourselves against it. So if the USA Army has tanks and AK47’s and we have 22 pistols and shotguns well Hmmmmm.

Christians, Spartans, Countrymen. A couple of concerns and questions

2008-10-16T12:58:00.000-07:00

A couple of concerns and questions

How is telling the truth a personal attack? I don’t understand how bringing up your associations and who you support is an attack, isn’t that just explaining about the person you are so we can see who we are voting for president. It is annoying, to hear Obama cry and whine. Why not refute what is being said. Did you give money to ACRON, Are you friends with terrorists, are you the highest receiver of money from ACORN, Why are you spending unprecedented money on media, ads? How are those personal attacks, are you honestly telling me if McCain was associates with David Duke it would be no big deal?

Don't my friends and mentors help shape who I am? doesn't my personal beliefs direct my passion?

Plus I don’t understand The pro-choice stance as a Christian I am having trouble with this one?

Christians, Spartans, Countrymen

We are not going to win this with out being real everyone. As everyone is so focused on Independents and such I wonder why? As though all blacks are a wash but I tell you, if we focus right if we work as a unit all is not lost. What about democrat Christians? Are they off limit? WHY?

LET’S SPARK UP SOME SPONTANEOUS THOUGHT

Issue 1:

“Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the
office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress. Yet there are Catholics and Evangelicals — even self-identified pro-life Catholics and Evangelicals — who aggressively promote Obama's candidacy and even declare him the preferred candidate from the pro-life point of view.”
Yet there are self identified Christians, Catholics, Buddhist and other pro-life believers who not only support but are aggressively promoting Obama’s, decaling him their preferred candidate (even from a pro-life point of view)

Is this what God’s people look like now? Well no wonder we are in the state we are in! What is going on here?

Does race and/or party affiliation trump God? The color of skin is that our choice?

I thought as Christians we served a big God! I thought we were to love God before anyone else, I thought we were called to be lights of the world, salt and light.

So What is going on?
Has Satan clouded the hearts of God’s people so much that we are going to vote for a man who undermines the very fabric of who we are as Christians?
Is it as for me and my house shall serve the Lord or is it oh yeah I will, I do but right after I vote for Obama! As for me and my house we shall serve man, Obama, skin color and my wisdom

What does your heart say about these issues?

The Bible

Education

Abortion

Marriage

Homosexuality

Israel

What does your Bible say about these issues? Do they match up? Does Obama?

What is your choice?

It feels good to be in truth

Matthew 6:24/Luke 13:16 You can not serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other

We are in the World but not of the world?

Romans 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise they became fools

Pro 3:5- 6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto thine own understanding but acknowledge him in all your ways and He shall direct your path!

What does GOD SAY?

What is going on here?

Who are we? Christians? Who are you? Let’s send a clear message of what God’s people believe!!!!! As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:12

ACORN

2008-10-15T13:01:00.000-07:00

I had to steal some quotes from RUSH they were so brilliant just for FYI

In Missouri, officials are buried in duplicate registration forms from ACORN; in Nevada, registrations for the Dallas Cowboys' starting lineup are among the fraudulent submissions. Other states are conducting similar investigations. Eight ACORN workers in Saint Louis recently pled guilty to fraud in the 2004 elections.

The ACORN thing is important along with a whole host of other issues but ACORN is crucial because it puts the lie to all of Obama’s airy hope rhetoric about change and social justice or injustice. ACORN is a 30-year-old organization, and for 30 years they have been listed as nonpartisan and they get government grants.

Tthe right to vote -- in honest and fair elections -- is the cornerstone of our republic; blood was shed for minorities' and women's voting rights in historic struggles that took decades to succeed.
There are investigations of ACORN going on in 13 states now.

I would think this would outrage people.
Even on the Left, I mean it is not about partisen stuff but they are making you look bad, and by defending the practices you are saying oh this is fine, instead of shouting up and saying hey yeah get them – I don’t want some organization like that being a reflection of who I am, I know if it were a Conservative/Republican/Christian organization I would be just as mad and upset as I am now only more because now they just gave me a bad name I have to overcome, along with everything else.

ACORN is a subdivision of the Democrat Party. Even in the original rescue plan, the bailout bill, how much was it for ACORN? There was some millions earmarked for ACORN, and of course somebody spotted it, raised hell about it, and they pulled it out of there.

This is not an attack or mudslinging this is real, Like many things but it is even more real because the fate of our country is at stake. And what about honor doesn’t that mean anything anymore? “Given the ties between Obama and ACORN and the money that his campaign has sent them and the job that he had with them in the past, Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he's willing to fight voter fraud”

In King County, Washington, to get a governor installed last cycle, Democrats were able to produce more votes than there were voters. In 1960, dead voters in Cook County, Illinois, gave Jack Kennedy his victory in the wee hours of the morning.

I thought about just pulling out pieces of facts I thought were important but then I was like nah Reading is good and I hate trying to retell something or only picking what I think is important

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/26/the-democratic-acorn-bailout/

Why should there be some type of outrage on the Left?
His website says: I have nothing to do with ACORN; I never had anything to do with them. I may have known some people there, but ACORN is just some group down the street in the neighborhood that had a sign out that said "ACORN." I don't know anything about ACORN. Let's go December 1st, 2007, Heartland Democrat Presidential Forum. Obama took questions from the moderator, Katherine Hughes. Katherine Hughes says, "If elected president would you agree in your first 100 days to meet with a delegation of representatives from these various community organizations, the Campaign for Community Values, and so forth, can they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?"

OBAMA: Yes. But let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. (cheering) We're going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda of the next presidency of the United States of America!

Come on people

The list goes on BTW and finding the actual convictions of ACORN members is not that hard to do, this is not something they have done only this election, it is just they are more bold about it I guess now. They keep getting caught and charged and even convicted but still the organization remains I guess they figure hey why not. Win no matter what, who cares about majority we what power.

"The liberals have the media, and that's what makes it look like this is a country so different from what it reality is. We're not Marxist, we're not socialist, and the majority of our people do not want to sit on their butts and let the government take care of them."

White Republicans

2008-09-26T08:43:00.000-07:00

As financial crisis looms for the American Economy and we wait for a solution to be passed by Congress there is still business to do. Now we have to keep pressure on the media and Democrats and even Conservatives to keep a “Bail Out” as conservative as possible. We also have to not lose focus on getting the truth out about who was at fault BUT….. We also can’t lose focus that there is an election to be won. So I wanted to just bring things back to the election a bit. A point that “white republicans” need to start touching on…if they have not already. The black vote, and the black democrat vote at that. So to help inspire you a bit I wanted to say go out find just one black democrat you can find (friend or foe – friend being a better choice heheh) and start talking about the elections. Ask them if they plan to vote, If so do they know for whom yet (lol)? And when they say Obama ask them why? Just as plain as plain can be, don’t hide or cower, don’t be afraid of being called a racist or bigot or any other choice name as to be honest just cause they are not saying it they more than likely already think it about you and yes even if you are their friend they think you cannot possibly understand. But that little question will open a door for you to break down some truths to them that we as blacks are not taught. First the basic principles of conservatism, this is not part of our culture not one lesson on it all we get is media agenda and propaganda from the time of birth and now America is plagued with a whole generation that has not a clue about the truth of history as it pertains to the Republican party. As well when speaking to a democrat black or white you have to keep things simple and break away from the thought they actually know the basics. The basics of economics or the political structure etc…. So pick a subject and only one subject.

Example lets say you ask said person “Hey do you plan on voting this year?” If they say no ask why and push for it but we will assume
They say: “Heck yeah”
You say: “Cool – do you know who yet?”
They look at you like your stupid and say “uhhh Yeah”
You say politely and with all humility “who?”
They say “Obama”
You say: “Obama? Why is that?”
Eyes wide they will probably look at you like what did you just ask me that – they say: “what do you mean”
You say: “I mean why are you picking Obama?” “What do you like about his policy” what ever

Some will come out and say cause he is black others because he is democrat some will bring up specific policy
But which ever it is have an answer – If they say cause he is a Democrat then ask them and what exactly do you mean by that – what is the difference between the two parties. Let them put them selves in a corner and then help them out of it. J Now with that said

Telling a black person that the Republican Party was created for the sole purpose to end slavery is something I would say 80% don’t know. Maybe even more but it is an ice breaker into hey I understand your struggle also here are a few names of Black Republicans to through at them that I am sure 95% do not know. And here are a few other facts to go in with and of course using all humility – As there is no way to undo 30 years of brainwashing, ignorance and indoctrination but If you can inspire thought and inspire someone to think for themselves then you have created a new path for them a path to hopefully enlightenment J - But be ready for the totally irrationally emotional response those will be prevalent as with most democrats when in a corner they name call and go into bizzaro mode, but even that is ok if you keep you cool let them ramble on and finish then bring it back to reality – there are several tactics to do this and do it well. But the most effective is going back to the basics and use allegories.

So some facts Blacks don’t know

Republican Party founded in 1854 as the anit-slavery party until today Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks.
It was Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black codes and Jim Crow laws. They fought passage of every civil rights law from the 1860’s and continued right into the 1960’s
Democrats started the KKK
Dr. Martin Luther King was a republican and was constantly fighting democrats (this will through the Democrat into a tizzy but the Black Democrat will perk up at this and be like really – No way – and perhaps though a fit as well – saying that was then this is now kinda stuff)
It was president Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957( He was a Republican) and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools he also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to US Supreme Court resulting in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of ed decision
Few VERY FEW black Americans know it was Republicans who founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities
the NAACP and affirmative action (as back in the day it was needed unlike now a days and where it has been grossly corrupted by democrats – AA was actually Nixon’s counter to when Democratic President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 kicked all the blacks out of federal government jobs) was established with Richard Nixon’s Philadelphia Plan crafted by black republican Art Fletcher.
John F Kennedy is lauded as a proponent civil rights leader but he voted against the 1957 civil rights act while senator as did Senator Al Gore Sr.
Kennedy as president was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King

Any way those are good starting points – Know them learn them and use them – don’t hide it is why so many of my brothers and sisters are so easily indoctrinated sometimes tough love is needed to peel the blinders off those who desperately need it and don’t even know it. If we can gain just a few to understand that will start a domino effect and maybe the next generation will not forget that the Democratic part is as it has always been the Party of the 4 S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism heheheehe (as stated by Frances Rice) – Man I might have to post this to my Blog now that I am writing it out

OK Some Prominent Black Republican names to throw out there and Just make the Democrats spin (Danger Will Robinson Danger…..LMBO)
Martin Luther King Jr.
Carter G. Woodson
Harriet Tubman
Frederick Douglass
Denzel Washington
Jackie Robinson
Lynn Swann
Sammy Davis Jr.
Mary McLeod Bethune
Colin Powel
Michael L. Williams
Alveda C. King
Alphonso Jackson
Rod Paige
Clarence Thomas
Michael S. Steel
J. Kenneth Blackwell
Don King
Edward William Brooke III
Joe Celestin
Booker T. Washington
Sojourner Truth
Hiram Rhodes Revels
AND THE LIST GOES ON

In Order to break the Democrats stranglehold on the black vote and free blacks from the mental slavery of the democrats’ economic plantation we must shed light of truth and not be afraid. We need to show that Democratic policies of socialism and dependency on government offer the pathway to poverty. We need to show that Republican policy and principles of we offer a hand up not just hand outs will give you the future that you dream of. There is nothing more satisfying than hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of your own business and home. This is the pathway to prosperity, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are not spreading some kind of disease. We are not the elitist, racists and “Uncle Tom’s” they make us out to be. We are Americans who believe We are all created equal endowed with inalienable rights from our creator. So go show some compassion and spread the light of truth because there is no time like the present and If we don’t do it now there may not be a beautiful free America much longer.

2 Questions Obama

2008-09-19T11:28:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama has said he is a constitutional scholar, right? I mean he has said that and he writes it in his book and resume, right? He taught law, he was head of the Harvard Law Review
Ok so we have established that so Obama has been running commercials in northern Virginia saying that McCain wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and the ad says which would prevent women from getting abortions. Now, the truth is that if that ever happened it would mean that the states would decide the issue, or even Congress for that matter. Reversing Roe v. Wade would not end abortions, to my great disappointment, but nevertheless that's the case. Shouldn’t Obama Know this? And if he does why is he out there running false ads? If he does not know this, how can he call himself a scholar, what kind of student could he have bee? And more over if he didn’t know before he runs the ads shouldn’t he check for accuracy before putting his stamp of approval on it? What kind of leadership does this show? I thought he said he was about change? I thought he wanted to bring integrity to the office?

One Other thing that I keep wondering about Obama, he keeps saying he has a solution to the “economic woes” we are seeing right now and that he has a clear plan to help alleviate the problems we are seeing. GREAT!!!!! What are they? Waiting……waiting…….waiting……Obama says he has a plan but will tell us once he is elected. WHAT??? Isn’t he part of the senate now? Isn’t he being paid to help us and his constituates now!!! Why do we have to wait for him to be elected? If he puts out his plan now and proposes a bill or anything for that matter that is a good policy that will give him a huge bounce, those who have reservations about his lack of experience and understanding will be able to say NOW LOOK there ya go see he does have good sense he is qualified and then if it is a good plan and it works well then WOW he would have his mojo back. But in stead it is like he is trying to hold us hostage with the answer, I will only tell if you vote for me. Vote for me and then I will help. How is that hope and change and compassion? I don’t get it

A little Obama if you dont mind

2008-08-20T13:30:00.000-07:00

This whole thing really fascinates me and I have really been trying to figure out how a guy who has like 200 days in the senate has gotten to be a Presidential Nominee and that is not to say that that in itself would be bad but as I listen to him I realize WOW I actually know more about how my government works and post jobs etc.... than he does. WHAT?? I am just some amateur lover of politics and my country - I guess America really is the land of Opportunity and anyone can run
For office and have a chance Man, woman, black, white, citizen immigrant we all have the same chance I LOVE AMERICA - but here in this case Come on people. I want to see a Black Man as President as much as the next person but I want more what is best for my country. And although neither main candidate is any good, what a sad state of affairs we are in that we have Democrat McCain and Liberal wet behind the ears Obama to choose from - I don’t know how we got here but I will say that Obama has no business as the Democratic Nominee - OK OK so just a couple of things before I go

I love information age – This is a great article simple and sweet – My point exactly.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/obama_party_loyalty_and_his_ow.html

and as a side note I honestly have to say (even though this is not my quote but still I say it too)

To me, it is striking how unqualified Obama is and how this whole thing came about within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say "no" to the black guy. Liberal policies are always end up strangling liberals. I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them. It's the reverse of it. They've ended up nominating and placing the top of their ticket somebody that's not qualified, who has not earned it. It's perfect affirmative action. And because all this guilt and the historic nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, "Wait a minute, do we really want to do this?" They do it, and then they start behaving in manners and ways that let us know that they know that they've goofed up with the choice. It actually has been somewhat fascinating to watch.

OH and here is another one on the subject

Obama's complete lack of substance and experience was impossible to conceal. He even caught himself. When he was asked about Clarence Thomas, "Well, I don't think he has the right exper..." He caught himself and said he wasn't qualified at the time he was elevated to that position -- and here's a guy who's been to Yale, a guy who's been to Holy Cross, who spent a year on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. He worked for Ashcroft as assistant attorney general in the state of Missouri, and Obama is what? A street agitator with 140 days in the Senate, and Obama claims that Clarence Thomas is unqualified?
That's another thing he got caught on, by the way, this bill that he voted against three times in Chicago that would allow the killing of babies born alive, babies that had been through an abortion and survived. Obama said he wanted to go ahead and let those babies be killed because that was the initial intent. He said he voted against it because none of the legislation had any kind of protections specifically aimed at Roe v. Wade. Well, one of the occasions, of the three occasions, did, had the specific request Obama wanted regarding Roe v. Wade and he still voted against it -- or for it, whichever. He voted for killing babies. Now, his answer on abortion was, they say, "nuanced." This is not nuance. "Nuance" implies brilliance and elitism, intellectualism. This wasn't nuance. That was avoidance. Obama was avoiding everything that he had to because he knew who the audience was, and because he can't be honest about what he really thinks and believes -- not seeking to be elected president of the United States. It's gotten down to the point now. Look at how tough a job poor old Caroline Kennedy has. You know, she's at the top of the list vetting Obama's veep choices. How difficult must it be for her to find somebody less qualified than Obama? Every resume she's looking at makes his look like a first grade report card! Seriously, folks. I mean, every resume she's looking at makes Obama look like a total beginner, a neophyte. It's gotta be a problem for them. Everybody is starting to whisper that if he has any prayer of winning, he's gotta choose Hillary. And if he chooses Hillary, he's going to have to have somebody taste his food every day and start his car for him every day

Trashing the Planet

Trashing the Planet
by John Loeffler World Affairs Editor
For decades the planet has been awash in doomsday environmental propaganda proclaiming the imminent demise of earth due to environmental calamity, which only drastic action (and large amounts of government money) can avert. As the avalanche of horror stories mounted - a mixture of truth and fiction - various legislative bodies passed laws and regulations based largely on the recommendations of extreme leftist environmental activists, whose prescription usually advocated some combination of the following:
1. A gradual elimination of capitalism and replacement of it with socialism;
2. Expansion of governmental control over private life and the diminishing of personal rights by a multiplication of mind-boggling environmental laws, regulations, and controls;
3. Gradual abolition of private property or private control over property;
4. Application of extreme financial and criminal penalties for "polluters"; and finally,
5. In its extreme form, removal of humans from large portions of the earth's surface and return of the environment to its pristine state. (The forest fires in the western U.S. last summer are an example of what happens when forests are left alone.) Humans are viewed on a par with the rest of creation, since they are all equally evolved.
While it is noble to protect the environment and rescue endangered species, the reality of radical environmentalism is far from that.
Idealism: Bad Science and Economics
In the past, environmental laws were frequently enacted while ignoring the fact that environmental issues do not exist in an idealistic vacuum - the laws themselves may have a negative impact on people, the economy and, yes, even the environment. Each new government policy ripples throughout a broad spectrum of other concerns as well.
Quite often, the "science" cited to support environmental causes later proves incorrect, but this is rarely ever publicly acknowledged, and the legislation that was originally passed doesn't get repealed or altered. New horror stories simply replace the old and the crisis rolls forward.
In the U.S. many property owners consider finding an endangered species on their property to be a disaster, when it should be a privilege to participate in helping preserve a species. In business, excessive clean water and clean air standards skyrocket the cost of manufactured items, affecting all consumers.
Ranchers, farmers and property owners have lost houses and land due to excessive and, oftentimes, unreasonable regulation. In some cases they were desperately trying to comply with laws or even improve the environment. Property has been seized, fines issued and, in some cases, jail time served. Contrary to the hype, the "polluters" are frequently not big businesses belching out tons of pollutants, but private property owners who just can't keep up with the blizzard of environmental do's and don'ts.
Radical Environmentalism Built on Junk Science
The effects of decades of unwise, unscientific environmentalism are now becoming evident. California's electricity crunch is just one example of radical environmentalism run amok in a socialistic state, a totally man-made crisis. Over the past two decades, environmental groups fought the construction of new nuclear power plants in California and even forced the shutdown of plants which were on-line but had not been on long enough to pay back the immense costs of construction, which was multiplied several times over due to a labyrinth of environmental regulations. As a result, power companies quit building plants.
As the state's population expanded, demands on power rose with no corresponding construction of generating facilities. Then the state "deregulated" (only in the most bizarre sense of the word) the power utilities, allowing wholesale prices to float but capping retail prices to consumers. They also prohibited power companies from engaging in long-term energy contracts, forcing them into daily energy bidding to outside power sources, which drove wholesale prices ridiculously up. Power companies were economically caught in an impossible situation and the power crisis was on...or off as the case may be.
While California looks to the Northwest to make up its energy shortfalls, environmentalists in that part of the country have been trying to tear down the hydroelectric dams on the rivers there, another example of returning nature to its pristine state no matter the cost.
So who got blamed for California's problem? The state government and radical environmentalists that created the situation? Of course not. It was the greedy power companies trying to make a filthy profit. This was consonant with the long-term rhetoric of environmentalism that business is bad but environmentalism is good.
Environmentalism Is Big Business
But environmentalism is mega-big business. It is popular to portray environmentalism as pitting big business (the polluters) against the small guy and helpless nature. But saving the earth, even when it doesn't need saving, is itself a big business growth industry.
In 1999, environmental organizations received $3.5 billion in contributions and work out of posh offices in big cities, a far cry from the dedicated granola-eating environmentalists of 30 years ago, who were close to the land and worked for free to "save the planet."
Environmental organizations engage in mass-mailing campaigns of unsupported horror stories and environmental claims. Some groups spend so much money on fund-raising that only a very small percentage ever goes to saving the environment.
According to Sacramento Bee journalist Ken Knudson:
Six national environmental groups spend so much on fund-raising and overhead they don't have enough left to meet the minimum benchmark for environmental spending - 60 percent of annual expenses - recommended by charity watchdog organizations. Eleven of the nation's 20 largest include fund-raising bills in their tally of money spent protecting the environment, but don't make that clear to members. 1
Environmentalism is no longer tied to science, but has now entered the realm of big politics and big money. Scientific facts are only utilized when they appear to support the latest political fad.
Few people have seen the radical environmental plans of the future and what it will cost them. In the U.S., the Wildlands Project is an active proposal to relocate Americans off about 50% of the landmass they currently occupy and return the land to its pristine state.
According to Matt Bennett of Citizens with Common Sense:
The Wildlands Project (TWP) is "the most ambitious and far-reaching attempt yet to reinvent the North American" continent...Wildlands will be core reserves of millions of acres connected by vast corridors following rivers and other migratory paths from west to east, from Central America and Mexico through the U.S. and Canada, using national forests and other government lands . 2
Other countries conforming to the terms of Agenda 21 and the Biodiversity Treaty of the Rio conference face a similar fate.
The Greening of Religion
Various Christian denominations are falling prey to efforts to recruit congregations into what is essentially a pantheistic belief system. The philosophy of radical environmentalism is based in the religious belief of pantheism, that god is in all and all is god; that earth is our mother (Gaia); that all living things have equal value and that mankind has overstepped its bounds, even being a cancer on the rest of nature. Socialism, they say, is the only form of government said to be capable of saving the planet, which must be returned to its pristine, prehuman state. Capitalism, above all, is bad.
A key player in introducing the pantheistic environmental movement into Christian churches is the Lucis Trust organization, originally called the Lucifer Publishing Company, founded by Theosophist Alice A. Bailey. Lucis Trust is a major consulting organization to the U.N.
According to Dr. Michael Coffman, Ph.D. of Environmental Perspectives:
...one of the mechanisms for ensnaring the Christian Church... comes through the Temple of Understanding, whose interfaith purpose is the "reintegration of the sacred into our lives" via "the world's religious traditions" and through "universal spiritual wisdom." The Temple is housed in the Episcopal Cathedral Church of the St. John the Divine in New York City, which is considered by many Christian researchers to be the new age center in the U.S. [emphasis ours]
Dr. Coffman goes on to say:
...the Temple cosponsored a number of international interfaith meetings leading to the creation in 1992 of the National Religious Partnership on the Environment, also housed in the Cathedral of the St. John the Divine. Billed as a "federation of major American faith communities," it is in fact a sanitized version of the new age Temple of Understanding packaged in a way that doesn't alarm Christians ...3
The Partnership has sent environmental literature to over 67,000 congregations and 100 million congregants calling for the Church to make the protection of the earth a central message of the Church. Although written in "Bible-eze," it nonetheless represents a deceptive interfaith attempt to shift the emphasis of the Church from the Gospel of Christ to one of protecting mother earth by creating guilt in Christians for not protecting God's creation...Church leaders are fair game for this kind of deception because they actually believe we are destroying the earth. Like most Americans, exaggerated or false reports of environmental destruction is the only thing they have been told .4
Stewardship vs. Radicalism
In all fairness, there have been serious environmental problems in the past. Much of this was a learning process as technology advanced. But while many problems are being or have been corrected, environmentalism has now gone beyond sane policy and is a mixture of radical idealism and big business/politics, yelling the "sky is falling!"
It is important to be good stewards of the environment that God created and we have indeed learned lessons from the past of what should and should not be done. But true stewardship demands that wisdom be based on sober science and sound economic policy. As God intended, such policy should encourage good stewardship rather than punish those who can't seem to comply with thousands of confusing, complex, arbitrary and constantly changing regulations. If California is any indication, left unchecked, radical environmentalism promises to trash the planet in the name of saving it.

Forgotten Heros

2006-10-26T19:24:00.000-07:00

There are so many forgotten black heroes in American history. I am not sure which is worse, that our public schools don't teach about them on a regular basis or that our culture would like to forget them too. I mean we talk about Grover Washington and Malcolm X and others, but what about those guys that are part of the fabric of America? We have been through so much as a people and not to take away from the atrocities, struggles and victories of other races which have faced similar persecutions, but we as blacks have so much to be proud of. We have overcome dark and appalling times. Being brought to America unwillingly, stolen by Muslim slave catchers in Africa and sold to Dutch trades coming to America in 1619 when the first slave arrived, and it is OK. Although the Constitution of the US was not written till 1787, ratified two years later, this is when our political history begins. Through this we have become the fiber of American Society. Without us America*s beginning economy probably would not have prospered so quickly. Morally we brought about reformation forcing people to really stand up for what they believed was right. Since the beginning of America our founding fathers (such as Samuel Adams, John Adams, Stephen Hopkins, Benjamin Rush and many more who signed the Declaration of Independence), were fighting for the rights of slaves (All men are created equal), having to fight the ignorant and the unjust, those scared of the unknown and those who were simply vicious and without conscience. True, it took a civil war to get it right and 200 years; but it shows not only the human spirit but the tenacity of our people and how the favor of God is with us. It was James A. Garfield our 20th President who was able to witness the final chapter in the deliverance of African Americans from slavery in America. Proclaiming, "With unquestionable devotion to the Union-with a patience and gentleness not born of fear-they have followed the light as God gave them to see light." Now I know it took so much longer and so much suffering to truly get respect from a whole nation, but it did come. Now we as a people need to claim that and have victory in our minds and fight the last type of slavery they can pawn off on you, slavery of the mind. Pitting us against each other, trying to make us believe we have not come far, that we are not part of America, that we cannot succeed without help, without government, without violence. We need to take back our neighborhoods and stop poisoning ourselves with drugs and the devils of this world: fear, mammon and ignorance. Ignorance being one of the most incontrolabel beasts. We have the favor of God so let's act like it and take what is ours! Let*s take a look and really see some of those heroes who have so changed our lives and brought freedom to so many blacks and whites alike. James Armistead: A spy who helped make possible the 1781 Yorktown victory.
Peter Salem: Hero of one battle was 1775 's Battle of Bunker Hill. A monument was erected to his memory in Massachusetts to commemorate his life and deeds.
Fredrick Douglas: Helped recruit the first black regiment to fight for the Union. Advised Abraham Lincoln. Received appointments from Republican Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and James A. Garfield. Was removed by Grover Cleveland (Dem) and reappointed by Benjamin Harrison (Republican). Douglas was taught the constitution was the pro slavery document and accepted this and later researched and recanted those statements. He said, "The Constitution is a glorious liberty document. Read its preamble, consider its purpose. Is slavery among them?"
The single "pro slavery" clause, the Three-fifths clause was a way to limit the power of slave owners of the south who would use the slaves as a person to strengthen slavery. The slave owners would count the slaves as regular inhabitants and by doing so increased the number of pro-slavery representatives to Congress. Therefore as a way to thwart this the Three-fifths clause came into effect. The founding fathers had to weigh this and take caution, but as long as the slave owners could use the slaves this way the abolishment of slavery would be nearly impossible; it increased slave-owner power too much. So the compromise the Pro abolishers and Slave owners came to was; they could count 65 of the slaves.
Rev. Absalom Jones: the first black Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America. Oh and the church was founded by Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and co-founder with Benjamin Franklin of the first abolition society in America.
Rev. Richard Allen: Famous black minister who preached at a large white mega church and started his Bethel Church which birtehd the AME denomination.
Prince Whipple & Oliver Cromwell: are depicted at the front of the boat in the famous picture of the 1776 crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night with George Washington.
John Rock: the first African American attorney to be introduced to Congress.
Reverend Charles: " C.L" Jackson: You find out who he was!
The names go on and on. These are but a few. I do want to go on as there is such a long and rich history here. *They* would love for you to never hear, that we would not only remain ignorant, but continue to fall for lies and deceit. But for now I am all out of room. Until next time my friends.

ACLU just some thoughts .......

2006-10-26T18:22:00.000-07:00

Ok where to start not sure really but here it goes

Founder OF THE American Civil Liberties Union is Roger Baldwin he siad
" I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimatley for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property , the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. " ( in a book written by Peggy Lamson)
Lets start wit I guess some of the guides of the ACLU and positons
1- All legal prohabitions on the distrabution of obscene material - including child pornography- are unconstatutional
2- Pornagraphic outlets can locte whereve they please - Near daycare centers, residential neighborhoods - churches NO mtter
3- Tax-funded libraries should not restrict access of children to pornography on the Internet
4-Parents should have no legal recousre when it comes to sheilding their children from exposure to hard core Pornography
5-The military cannot enforce even the most basic codes of conduct- such as disipline for disrespectful behavior towards a superior officer
6- Parets cannot limit their children's exposure to or participation in public school classes and assemblies, any topic, except Orthodox Hewish or Christian teachings - that violates the family's core religious and moral beliefs
7- Public schools cannot observe recognized reliogous , historical and culturla holidays such as Cristmas, Easter, Hnukka, diespite hundreds of years of American tradition
8- all legislative , military, and prison chaplaincy programs should be abolished
9- All crimianl and civil laws that prohibit polgamy and same sex marriage should b done away with

The ACLU also looks to force international law ( at least their selective view of) onthe American people with complete disregaurd for american sovereignty and the US Constitution - The Constituiton has become an unrecognizable "living, breathing document" with "emanations form penumbras" including bizzare interpretaions that has led to the deaths of more thatn 46 million of our nations children( causeing a whole ripple effecct of issues form a social security crisis to underage minors getting leagl abortions with their parents never needing to know a thing - leagally) The virant shield of protection the FIRST AMENDMENT was ment to provide for religious fredom, freedom that millions fled other countires to enjoy , has now become a sword to use against people of faith.

The ACLU has done this by making a a country of litigation and by bringing lawsuit after lawsuit usually threathing to bring often crippling expensive lawsuits even on claims it would aADMIT had little or no merit - They have been paving a foundation for their agenda for years . Teh have a $45 million budget and try to exhust the will, resources and stength of those who stand against them
Many times as well the ACLU picks fights with which they can win by default because no one witha real stake in the outcome showed up to leagaly confront their demands.
( esepciall y inthe past before we relized their tactics )

HOW ABOUT SOME QUOTES and stuff NOW
Founder OF THE American Civil Liberties Union is Roger Baldwin
he siad
" I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimatley for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property , the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. " ( in a book written by Peggy Lamson)

The ACLU was founded in 1920 By Roger Baldwin and agnostic socialist who demonstrated communist learnings - His two biggest infulences o heros as he said were Margaret Sanger ( a eugenist who founded Planned Parenthood - Eugenics was here goal for starting Planned Parent hood she said - is was practiced by the Nazis in Germany in pursuit of their goal of a "master race" by surpressing the birth rate of "inferiors" such as the poor, handicapped and racial minorities and in fact Hitler admired Sanger and Baldwin spke almost glowingly of her Her role in forming the foundations of the Baldwin ACLU is unquestionable ) and the other was Emma "Red Emma" Goldman or the " RED Queen of Anarchy" she conspired to kill Henry Clay Frick of Carnegie Steel and founded the anarchist Mother Earth magazine and eventually deported to Russia in 1919 - Goldmans friendship with Baldwin served as his introduction to her mentor Pince Peter Alexeevich Kropotkin a Russian revolutionary
One thing Baldwin leaned from Goldman s ell was how to mask his true agenda ans disguise it in a way to get the eleties on his side - This would be a straegy they would reaptedly use to gain access to funding from the wealthy ahile at the same time working to destroy many of the core values of the free enterprise system that led to teh creation of their wealt . Brilliant in so many ways really - h sorry off point -
Baldwins family were Uniterians " ~We Unitarians knew we were very advanced people and that the other churches were backward"
Former ACLU president Noram Dorsen expalined " Baldwin thought of the ACLU as a goup of elitist , of highly educated people , a few thousnad at most throughout the country who owuld be the vangaurd of a movement to protect idividual rights in theis society"
the mind set that the ACLU knows what is best for the great unwashed masses drives the ACLU disdain for the will of the people. This IS ALSO WHY OR WHAT IS BEHIND its use of the judiciary , rather that the ELECTORATE to implement its agends

Ok that is a start next I will give some case history ok

oh wait no let me first give you his wedding vows he wrote for his wedding - LOL
Then tonight or tommarrow i will tyr to finish up this ACLU thing there is so uch it is hard to know where to go
WEEDING VOWS
Here is waht Baldwin read to Doty at his " marrage"
To us who passionaley institution of marriage among us is a grim mockery of essential freedom. here we have the most inimate, most sacred , the most creative relaitonship shackled in the deadening grip of private property and essentially holding the woman subservietn to the man...... We dey without resevation the moral right of state or church to bind by the force of law a reltionship that canot be maintained by the power of love alone. We submit to the form of law only because it sems a matter of too little importance to reist or ignore........ The highest relationship between a man asn a womane is that which welcomes and understands eachothers loves. without a sense of pssession there can be no exclusions, no jealousises. the creative life demands many friendships, many loves shared together openly, honestly and joyously ( polyamory) My primary interest and joy is the great revolutionary struggle for human freedom today, so intense , so full of promise. I regard our union only as contributing to that cause, making us both serve it more passionately, the more devotedly
WEDDING VOWS writen for his special lady

Ok kids are tearin things up gotta go for now
