A Good Choice . . .

More Conscience Violating by the Wicked Department of Health and Human Services

2012-02-02T18:49:00.000-05:00

The above letter was written by a local priest in response to the recent tyrannical actions taken by the DHHS to force people to support abortion, contraception, and sterilization. I agree wholeheartedly with this priest that this a problem. I agree that this is something that we really need to pray about and that without God we can do nothing, but with him nothing is impossible. But I don't recommend contacting your congressman. They won't listen. They will just tell you what you want to hear and pretend like they are going to do something. Instead what you need to do is to stop voting for them--and don't vote for these corrupt ex-congressman presidential candidates who (except for Ron Paul) voted to keep the DHHS well-funded. I am talking about Santorum and Gingrich.

Romney has also demonstrated that he is perfectly willing to force people to become dependent on the government for their healthcare so that they can be blackmailed into supporting abortion. And he has no intention of dismantling this current wicked "healthcare" system. Therefore he is just as reprehensible.

Ron Paul is the only one who does not vote for this garbage!

Rick Santorum's Voting Record

2012-01-26T20:46:00.000-05:00

This is a series of articles which gives voting record information about 2012 presidential candidates. Most of the references given are from thomas.loc.gov, an official government website which is part of the Library of Congress. Hopefully, this information will help you to make a decision about who you are going to vote for. Also included is a brief biography and information about endorsements made by the candidate. Today's candidate is Rick Santorum. Click here to read part 1.

Rick Santorum served in the U.S. House from 1990-1994 and Senate from 1994-2006. He was a Republican Deputy Whip. Santorum is Catholic.

Abortion

Santorum voted for the partial birth abortion ban. [1]

He voted for the Hyde Amendment to prevent most abortions from being federally funded. [2] But he voted [3-5] for at least three Department of Health and Human Services appropriations bills which allowed taxpayer money to be used to pay for some abortions (for example, in cases of rape and incest). These bills contained no provision that abortion providers (such as Planned Parenthood) could not also obtain these funds also for other purposes. [6-8]

Santorum did not cosponsor the Right to Life to Act [9-10] or the Life at Conception Act [11] or any other bill protecting or recognizing the personhood of the unborn from conception.

Education

Santorum voted to prohibit foreign students on F-1 visas from obtaining free public elementary or secondary education. [1] He voted to establish a pilot program to collect information relating to nonimmigrant foreign students. [2]

But Santorum voted for the blatantly unconstitutional No Child Left Behind Act, which increased federal funding and control over the public school system. [3]

He voted for the Goals 2000: Educate America Act (more unconstitutional federal meddling in the education system), “A bill to improve learning and teaching by providing a national framework for education reform; to promote the research, consensus building, and systemic changes needed to ensure equitable educational opportunities and high levels of educational achievement for all American students; to provide a framework for reauthorization of all Federal education programs; to promote the development and adoption of a voluntary national system of skill standards and certifications, and for other purposes.” [4]

Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech

Santorum did not cosponsor the Veterans' Memorials, Boy Scouts, Public Seals, and Other Public Expressions of Religion Protection Act of 2006, which would have prevented the ACLU and other similar groups from receiving lawyer’s fees from the taxpayers when they win cases having to do with supposed violations of the “Separation of Church and State”.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN03696:

Santorum’s (Worst) Endorsements

Rick Santorum endorsed and campaigned for Arlen Specter [1], one of the most God-hating Senators we have ever had. Pro-abortion [2], pro-gay rights [3] Specter spearheaded the effort to kill the nomination of strict constructionist Robert Bork to the Supreme Court when Reagan was President. [1] “He's with us on the issues that matter," said Santorum. [4] Specter has always been openly in favor of abortion funding (for example, he voted “no” on restricting UN funding for population control policies [2]). After Specter switched parties, he voted for Obamacare. [5]

Santorum has also endorsed and campaigned for partial birth abortion supporter Christie Todd Whitman. [6]

Santorum was also a campaign volunteer for Senator John Heinz. [7] Heinz was a liberal. He supported normalizing relations with Cuba during the Nixon administration. He also criticized the deployment new weapons as a tactic in arms limitations talks with the Soviet Union. He was also a supporter of many socialist programs in education, human welfare, health care and housing. He got caught accepting $6,000 in illegal corporate campaign money from Gulf Oil during his successful campaign for the U.S. Senate. [8] After Senator Heinz died, his wife Teresa, heiress of the H.J. Heinz (the catsup company) fortune married the Senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry. [9]

Did you know 400K people took part in Monday’s D.C. Pro-Life March for Life?

2012-01-25T19:42:00.000-05:00

I saw very little coverage of this growing annual event in the main stream media. However,I did watch online and saw a huge turnout. The weather was cold and rainy. The commitment of the Pro-Life supporters is phenomenal. The dying old mainstream mediarefuses to present honest accounts of any Pro-Life or Pro-Conservativecause(s). There is a distinct bias in the media against the right. In fact, themedia is one of the chief campaigners for the current occupier of the WhiteHouse.

Hopefully, Tonight Will Be President Obama’s Last SOTU Address!

2012-01-24T18:54:00.001-05:00

I googled this question, “Is this President Obama’s Last State of the UnionAddress?” The first response that I received was an RT.com article, “Obama's lastState of the Union?” In part the answer I received embedded in that article was,“

Pending the outcome of the presidential election inNovember, Tuesday night’s State of the Union address could very well be Barack Obama’s last.

Will President Obama bring up the federal budgettonight? This is really one of the key failure that the President shares withhis fellow Democrats in the Senate. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), made the following key criticism in his op ed,“Obamaneeds fiscal 'courage'”in the 1/24/2012 edition of the U.S.A.Today.

The President ignores thescandal plaguing the Democrat Senate. His State of the Union actually marks amilestone: 1,000 days since we last sawa budget plan form the Senate’s Democrat majority.

On their website the U.S. House Republican Study Committee(RSC) posted this video:

My congressman, who is the Chairman of the RSC , Jim Jordansuggested that Americans will be looking for answers to three big questions whenlistening to President Obama's SOTU and revved up campaign stump speech tonight:

1. Where are the jobs?

2. Why aren’t we using all the energyresources we have available?

3. How can we stop this crazy spendingand borrowing?

I, along with Representative Jordan and many otherAmericans, especially conservatives, think that the President is moreinterested in campaigning against House Republicans than in any bipartisan problem-solving.Will we merely hear more campaign rhetoric and empty, flimsy promises? Will there beanything substantive in the President’s TelePrompTed words? Will Valarie Jarrett and his speech writergive us anything for the good of the nation as a whole, or continue to provideassurances to the Democrat Party’s and President’s radical base and to giving sole support for his re-election effort?

The most important part of human life is theLord Jesus Christ. With Him we haveeternal life. Without Him there is only eternaldeath, permanent separation from God. AsJohn the Apostle has written:

And this is the recordthat God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he thathath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto youthat believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye haveeternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (I John5:11-13).

With Jesus we can do good works which glorifyGod. Paul wrote that God has beforeordained works for us to do.

For we are hisworkmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforeordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

One day we shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ (Romans 4:10c). For it is written:

As I live, saith theLord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account ofhimself to God (Romans 14:11-12).

For the good works we do we shall receiverewards. Among these are crowns:

1. The Crown of Righteousness II Timothy 4:8

2. The Crown of Life Revelation 2:10; James 1:12

3. The Crown of Glory I Peter 5:4

4. The Crown of Rejoicing I Thessalonians2:19

Would you like a Crown? First, you need to receive Jesus into yourheart. Then, we are to live in obedienceto Him. A sample prayer to receive Jesusis, “Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sin and come into my heart.”

The Tawdry ‘Religious’ Left

2012-01-21T16:56:00.001-05:00

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, here comes theirreligious left to ‘celebrate’ of allthings the heinous Roe v. Wade SCOTUS decision, touting the joys and wonders ofmurdering innocent babies!

76 people or organizations donated to place a banner ad(see below) on Cleveland.com website this morning. They have scheduled to placeadditional ads in major newspapers in Ohio including the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cincinnati Inquirer, and Columbus Dispatch in ‘honor’ of the 39thAnniversary of Roe v. Wade! That is downright despicable!

These so-called ‘religious’ people would fit in well inwartime Germany, wouldn’t they? Just yesterday was the 70th anniversary of theinfamous Vannsee Conference. Vannsee inBerlin, Germany is where in 1942 the infamous meeting of Nazi officials was heldwhich decided upon the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” According tothe Anti-Defamation League website “Many religious people in Germany at thattime either stood aside while their fellow human beings were beingmurdered for no other reason than they were unwanted and despised andinconvenient or they participated in this tragedy.” You can read about that Conference here:

30 years after the vile Vannsee Conference in Germanywas held, our own black-robed grim reapers in a courthouse in Washington, D.C. issueda capital punishing sentence to 54+ million innocent babies, black, white,Hispanics, Native Americans, female and male. These babies, too, were condemnedto death for being unwanted, despised, and inconvenient. And much of the American church and‘religious’ people not only stand by, but support and encourage this legalizedgenocide.

This ad is disgraceful, shameful and not at allrepresentative of the tenets of most faiths, especially that of our Judeo-Christianheritage.

Notice their wicked message, which is written with the blood of slaughtered millions of innocents. Hitler and the secular humanist religious of his day would have agreed. But I bet the babies wouldn't agree!

"We Believe Reproductive Freedom is a vital part of Religious Liberty and Human Dignity."

A picture perfect finish for South Carolina GOP Primary

2012-01-21T13:15:00.002-05:00

Rick Santorum – 31%
Newt Gingrich – 29%
Ron Paul – 21%
Romney – 19%

Wouldn’ta finish like the one imagined above in today's South Carolina Republican Primary just frost the Left,the Main Stream Media, Organizing forAmerica, and the GOP establishment?

AfterRomney'spoor performance in Monday's FoxNews debate, and with strong performances by both Gingrich and Santorum and thetypical steady Paul performance, inThursday's CNNdebate, the above scenario is very possible. South Carolina is a veryconservative state and hopefully the conservatives will all show up today andvote. However, above result is not the outcome that the Media and the Obama Campaign has orchestrated, but itis realistic.

WithSantorumand Gingrichfinishing one-two in South Carolina, along with Paul all finishing ahead of Romney,it would really put conservatives in a great position going into the FloridaPrimary. It would be an especially big blow to the moneyed candidacies of Willard Mitt Romneyand Dr. Ron Paul.Most of America does not want Romney,who is perceived to be weak and wishy-washy, just another John McCain, or worse.My top choice of the candidates that remain are: Santorum or a CTBNL (a conservative-to-be-named-later).Gingrich, Paul, and especially Romneyand Obama are all unacceptablecandidates for one reason or another.

America wants and needs a conservative in 2012 if she hasany hope to change our slide toward total European socialism and eventualoblivion. This South Carolina GOP Primary could be a turning point, a realtrend-setter.

Twin Evils: The Jewish Holocaust (L) and the American Holocaust (R)

The Jewish Holocaust

Dr.Juergen Buehler, Executive Directorof the International Christian EmbassyJerusalem (ICEJ), wrote the following item, which I read this morning inthe Capitol Hill Prayer Partners daily briefing that I received.

11 million. That was the number of Jews sentenced to death (during)a brief 90-minute lunch meeting at a beautiful lakeside villa near Berlin 70years ago. Over the course of the next two days the International ChristianEmbassy Jerusalem will be hosting a high-ranking delegation of German andAustrian Christian leaders for a series of events marking the 70th anniversaryof the Wannsee Conference, the infamous meeting of Nazi officials which decidedupon the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question."

Held on January 20, 1942 andattended by 15 high-ranking Nazi bureaucrats, the Wannsee Conference set inmotion the implementation of a plan to for the systematic, industrial murder ofall the Jews within Germany's reach in Europe and north-west Africa.

The fate of 11 million Jews,followed by a glass of Cognac.

It isimportant that we remember that the Nazi officials who deliberated at VillaWannsee over their ghastly plans for exterminating European Jewry were allwell-educated, with at least half of them holding doctorate degrees. Some werealso the sons of Protestant ministers, yet not one of them raised any moralobjections to this heinous plot…

German Christian leaders have come to Jerusalem to deliver acritical message to the world that the abhorrent evil of Nazism represented bythe Wannsee Conference must never be allowed to rise again…

The American Holocaust

Isn’t it ironic that the Jewish Holocaust of 70years ago was launched almost exactly 30 years before America’s own on-going Holocaust?One was started by an elite group of Nazi officials and bureaucrats in Germany.The other, more recent genocide was decreed in black-robed grim reapers in a courtroomin Washington, D.C. 30 years later.

As evil and heinous as the original Jewish holocaustwas, in terms of numbers, the murder of 11 million persons the Jewish Holocaust, it pales by comparison to the bloody American Atrocity of aborted lives (54 million or 5 times as many casualties as the Jewish Holocaust). InAmerica, one of our key founding documents clearly states that all persons havebeen endowed by the Creator with the rightto life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.However, we stand by while 54 million innocent babies (and counting) are viciouslymurdered. This bloodshed is the a direct result of the wicked, unethical, unnatural,inhumane ‘legalizing of abortion’ decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton madeby the so-called U.S. Supreme Court!

So during this weekend, it is good take time to rememberand to contemplate the great evil that man is capable of doing. It is also agood time to review what steps one can take to reverse this perverse situation.

Personal Plan of Action

We can join in on any of the planned March for Life or memorial servicestaking place this weekend across the nation.

We can join in on Family Research Council’s Pro LifeCon on Monday January 23, 2012 in Washington, D.C. or on theInternet.

We can educate ourselves of this critical issue.

We can offer financial or volunteer support toPro-Life organizations such as:

· AbortionNo Center for Bioethical Reform

· Americans Unitedfor Life

· Care-Net

· CreatedEqual

· ConcernedWomen for America

· HeartbeatInternational

· OhioProLife Action

· LifeDynamics

· Life LegalDefense Fund

· Missionaries to the Preborn

· NationalPro Life Alliance

· PersonhoodUSA

· PersonhoodOhio

· Pro LifeOhio

· Studentsfor Life

We can pray for an end of abortion in the USA by individuallyrepenting of our apathy and/or direct participation in this sinful practice.

We can work for, support elect 100% Pro-Lifecandidates this spring and this fall. Pro-life advocates and representativessuch as:

· RickSantorum for President

· Josh Mandel for U.S. Senator for Ohio

· Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate from Texas

· RichardMourdock for U.S. Senate from Indian

· David Lewis for U.S.Congress from Ohio

· KarenHarrington for U.S. Congress from Florida

We can lobby our current federal and state membersof Congress on behalf of a constituency-yet-to-be-born.

Roe v. Wade, 39 Years Later

2012-01-20T10:56:00.000-05:00

Every year,since the 1973 SCOTUS decision to legalize the murder of innocent children,there has been some formal recognition of this tradegy. Pro-Life proponents haveconducted annual March for Life events ever since 1973. Many churches willbe participating in National Sanctity of Human LifeSunday, wherespecial messages will be presented recognizing the great evil of abortion thathas been allowed to grow and fester in this nation.

This Sunday, January 22, 2012 isthe 39^th Anniversary of the infamous Roe versus Wade U.S. SupremeCourt decision. I saw the embedded video below today and was impressed with itstimely and informative message.

The videocaptures Allan Parker’s, attorneyand President of The Justice Foundation, reflections on the 39th anniversary ofRoe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and the Word of God. He discusses the history of Operation Outcry and his foundational scripture. He discusses the three major courtcases influenced by Operation Outcry women's testimony. He also discusses thefuture of Roe and where he thinks the Pro-Life Movement will be in 2013.

Please, Not Willard Mitt Romney in 2012!

2012-01-18T23:51:00.001-05:00

Enjoy this long, but funny and informative YouTube video on WillardMitt Romney, as I did. Mitt Romneyis soooooo unqualified to be President, only Barack Hussein Obama may be less qualified … Gov. Romney by far is the worst GOP candidate of the five remaining. He has absolutely no core convictions, except maybe that he'll do or say anything to become President of the United States.

Islam the three stages of Jihad, Part 2

2012-01-18T20:02:00.001-05:00

Putting IslamUnder the Microscope

I would encourage every American to educate himself orherself on this vital subject. The fact is that Islam is the enemy of theUnited States. Like Marxism and secular humanism that have crept into ourculture and taken over many of our institutions, including our education systemand has corrupted it beyond recognition, Islam is the second battlefront we face.It is one we must engage. Islam has begun to infiltrate our culture and to indoctrinateAmericans as to its real purpose and intent.

Watch and listen carefully to this video and read thetranscripts of the video as they are presented here. You will be betterequipped to confront the evil and to curtail its advance in this nation. Todaywe examine the first of the three stages of Jihad. You can see the first part of this series here.

Transcript2:40 –9:18 minute mark on thevideo:

BarackObama is quoted, “The partnership between America and Islammust be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t.”

STAGE ONE – STEALTH JIHAD

When Muslims arecompletely outnumbered and can’t possibly win in a physical confrontation withunbelievers, they’re commanded to promote peace with non-Muslims and to preacha message of tolerance.

For instance, when Mohammed and his followers were apersecuted minority in Mecca they criticized the beliefs of the polytheists,but they did so peacefully. The revelations Mohammed received during this time proclaimed a future judgment forunbelievers. Allah will one day punish those who rejected Mohammed, but in the meantime to each his own. Live and let live,co-exist.

A characteristic chapterfrom this period is

Qur’an 109 – Say: Ounbelievers! I do not serve that which you serve, nor do you serve Him whom Iserve: Nor am I going to serve that which you serve, nor are you going to serveHim whom I serve: You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.

Muslims in the West pointto passages like this, as evidence that Islam is inherently peaceful. But weknow from Muslim sources that while Mohammedwas calling for religious tolerance in Mecca, he was already planning toconquer the world in the name of Allah. He even tried to lure pagans to Islamby promising them victory over the non-Arabs. Let’s look at a passage. One daysome of his Mohammed’s tribesmenwent to his uncle Abu Talib because they wanted to arrange a truce with Mohammed.They wanted Mohammed to stopcriticizing their beliefs. Watch what happens.

At Tabari, Volume VI, p. 95– Abu Talib sent for the messenger of Allah, and when he came in he said,“Nephew here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked forjustice against you, that you should desist in reviling our gods and they willleave you to your god.” “Uncle,” he said, “shall I not summon them to somethingwhich is better for them than their gods?” “What do you summon them to do?” heasked…

He replied, “I summon themto utter a saying through which the Arabs will submit to them and they willrule over the non-Arabs.” Abu Jahl said from among the gathering, “What is it,by your father? We will give you it and ten like it?” He answered, “That youshould say, ‘There is no deity but Allah.”

Think about this for amoment. Mohammed is walking aroundMecca calling for peace and tolerance. But behind closed doors, he tells the guys,‘join me, and we’ll rule over the non-Arabs (Jews, Christians, Persians, etc.)These groups aren’t attacking Mohammedat all, and he is already planning to conquer them.

What does he need tosubjugate the non-Muslims? He needs an army. So he asks his tribe toconvert to Islam.

Now, how many times havewe seen Muslim groups in the world today, calling for tolerance in public,but saying something completely different in private? It goes back to Mohammed.

One of the key features ofStage One (Jihad) is TAQIYYA – CONCEALING ISLAM’S TRUE INTENTIONSIN ORDER TO PROTECT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. This was eventually madeexplicit in Surah 3:28.

Qur’an 3:28 – Let not thebelievers (in Islam) takedisbelievers as friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath noconnection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them,taking (as it were) security.

Muslims are not allowed tobe friends, unless they are outnumbered and they feel they are in danger from astronger adversary. That’s when Muslims are told to pretend to be friendly.One of Islam’s greatest scholars IbnKathir comments:

Ibn Kathir – “In this case,such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly but never inwardly.”

AbuDarda, one of Mohammed’s companions put it this way:

Abu Darda – “We smile in theface of some people althouh our hearts curse them.”

Another key feature ofstage one is ‘victim status.’ Muslims like to pretend that Mohammedand his followers were persecuted in Mecca simply because they wereMuslims. Total nonsense, they were persecuted for antagonizing the Meccans bymocking their beliefs. We read in

At-Tabari, Volume 6, pg. 93– The messenger of Allah proclaimed Allah’s message openly and declared Islampublically to his fellow tribesman. When he did so, they did not withdraw fromhim or reject him in anyway … until he spoke of their gods and denounced them.When he did this, they took exception to it and united in opposition andhostility to him, except for those of them whom Allah had protected from errorby means of Islam.

Notice that the pagans ofMecca had no problem with Mohammedpreaching Islam. They became angry when he began attacking their beliefs andthey had to put up with quite a bit. Listen to this description of what thepagans went through in their own words:

At-Tabari, volume 6, pg. 101– “We have never seen the like of what we have endured from this man. He hasderided our traditional values, abused our forefathers, reviled our religion,caused division among us, and insulted our gods. We have endured a great dealfrom him.”

Mohammedwas condemning their beliefs and their values. He was causing division in thecity. Not too extreme from a Western perspective. What’s interesting is thatwhen the people of Mecca responded in kind and mocked Islam. Muslims said, “Oh,they’re persecuting us. What evil people, attacking us because of our beliefs. Doublestandards, one of the goals of the stealth Jihad stage is to give Islam a privilegedstatus above other religions.

But Mohammed’s constant antagonism toward the Meccans did lead toactual persecution. And this persecution of the early Muslim community was thebest thing that ever happened to Islam. When people heard of poor defenselessMuslims were being mistreated, they rushed to Mohammed’s aid. The Christians as Abyssinia, the Jews of Medina andvarious pagan groups all agreed, at one time or another, to protect Muslimsfrom the mean bigoted Islamaphobes in Mecca.

Now keep in mind, Mohammed was already planning toconquer all of these people. But they did not know that, all they knew was thatMuslims were being persecuted and they wanted to help.

Once Mohammed and his followers had formed enough alliances and were nolonger at the mercy of the Meccans, the message of the Qur’an suddenly changed.

To be continued

Tomorrowwe will look at the second stage of Jihad – Defensive Jihad

Islam the three stages of Jihad, Part 1

2012-01-17T21:00:00.000-05:00

Putting Islam Underthe Microscope

Americans, unfortunately, are woefully ignorant aboutthe so-called ‘religion’ of Islam. First, it is not merely just another religionlike Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism. It is much more. Islam is apolitical, militaristic, and religious system. Second, the intent of Islamis to eventually rule, to subjugate the entire world. The video that will bethe focus of this series of articles is called, “Three Stages of Islam.” It was created by AnsweringMuslims.com. It is extremely insightfuland educational. It lays bare the purposes and the schemes of this cruel and insidiousfascist system. It is every bit as pernicious, threatening, and evil ascommunism.

I would encourage every American to educate himself orherself on this vital subject. The fact is that Islam is the enemy of theUnited States. Like Marxism and secular humanism that have crept into ourculture and taken over many of our institutions, including our education systemand has corrupted it beyond recognition, Islam is the second battlefront we face.It is one we must engage. Islam has begun to infiltrate our culture and toindoctrinate Americans as to its real purpose and intent.

Watch and listen carefully to this video and read thetranscripts of the video as they are presented here. You will be betterequipped to confront the evil and to curtail its advance in this nation. Todaywe look at an introduction to the three stages of Jihad.

Transcript0:00 – 2:40 minute mark on the video:

Islamcan be a little confusing. You meet a Muslim at the grocery store, the nicestperson in the world, cute kids, loves America. Later that day you turn ontelevision and wait a minute, some other Muslim just blew up the grocery store!

Whatis going on here? Who represents Islam, the peaceful Muslim buying tomatoes, orthe violent Muslim bombing tomatoes?

You’dlike an answer so you open up the Qur’an, you read in Surah 2:256: “There is no compulsion in religion.” Thatsounds peaceful and tolerant. I guess the peaceful Muslims are the truefollowers of Islam. Then you go to Surah9:29: “Fight those who do not believe inAllah.” That’s not nice, now it seems that the violent Muslims got itright.

Theevidence points in different directions. So, what are you supposed to believe?

Barack Obamaquote: “The partnership between Americaand Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t.”

Ifyou ever wondered why there are both peaceful and violent passages in theQur’an? If it has ever bothered you the Muslims DEMAND religious tolerance inthe West, while Christians and Jews cannot build Churches and Synagogues inSaudi Arabia. If you have never quite grasped why organizations like (theCouncil on American Islamic Relations) C.A.I.R. or (the Islamic Society ofNorth America) I.S.N.A. claim that Islam is a religion of peace, while theysupport terrorism behind the scenes. Welcome to the most important video you’llever watch. You can’t understand Islam in the world today without understandingone fact – JIHAD PROCEDESIN STAGES.

(Just)As the tiny tadpole grows into the bellowing bullfrog, or the lowly acornbecomes the mighty oak, or as adorable Parent Trap Lindsey Lohan transformsinto whatever she is now … So also the tolerant toddler of peaceful Islameventually goes through puberty, that’s when we find out about full blownJew-hating, church burning, wife beating, apostate killing, Akbar yellin’ Islamis really like in all its blood spattered glory.

Whetheryou look - at the life of Mohammed, or the early Muslim community, or theQur’an, or the hadith, or the Surah literature, or classical Muslimcommentaries, or modern Muslim scholarship, or the spread of Islam in the worldtoday - you’ll find the exact same pattern.

Thereare three stages in thecall of Jihad, depending on the status of Muslims in a society. Andif you understand those three stages, you’ll understand Islam, 14 centuries ofIslamic history, and the situation that we are in right now.

Tobe continued

Tomorrowwe will look at the first stage of Jihad – Stealth Jihad.

Senator Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) Choice Is Pro-Death Advocacy

2012-01-16T20:26:00.003-05:00

Sen. Sherrod Brown approves this message.

.
On his campaign site Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown has established a petition to get fellow pro-death supporters to contest thelife-saving Heartbeat Bill, which is presently stalled in the Ohio Senate. Itpassed last year in the Ohio House.

Here is the text from Brown’s website introducing hispetition. I will make some comments below in red:

We theundersigned strongly oppose the radical, anti-choice “HeartbeatBill.” This legislation would effectively outlaw abortion, even in cases ofrape or incest.

Theultimate goal of anti-choice activists pushing this bill is the completeeradication of reproductive rights. They’ve chosen Ohio as theirbattleground, and we pledge to stand and fight for the rights of womenat home and around the country.

It’s up to us to fight for choice — sign up below to join ourcampaign against this radical legislation!

Ironically, it is this Pro-Death United States Senator thatis radical, not those of us who support the protection ofhuman life.

Let’s look at how the liberal Senator describes thoseof us who want to protect human life:

· Weare radical – actually, I don’t think it is radical towant to protect the life of a fellow human being no matter how they may havebeen conceived. Rather, it is radical, extreme to want to protect the murder ofpre-born children! Abortion mills are reminiscent of Hitler’s concentrationcamps where innocent people were murdered by the millions.

· Weare anti-choice – yes, when the “choice” is to either takean innocent life or to protect an innocent life, the “choice” is clear. ProtectLife!

· Wewant to eliminate 'reproductive rights' and 'women’s rights' – what is wrong with asking or requiring an individual to takeresponsibility for their actions, to be accountable for their behavior? Whenhas personal responsibility become passé? It is scientific fact, theoutcome of a sex act sometimes results in conception. The participants in thatact should be responsible for their actions. It is not the baby’s fault thathis or her biological parents are irresponsible. This applies to everycircumstance including rape or incest.

What about the rights, the basic human rights of the baby, Senator? And why punish the innocentchild, who had no part in a rape, but was a natural result of the actions ofone wicked individual? Should not the person responsible for the rape be madeto pay for the medical bills and for the child’s care in and/or outside of prison?

Only a radical leftistlike Sherrod Brown would support the continued killing of innocent children.What kind of compassion is that? Do we want a man to continue to representOhioans who aggressively advocates for a mother’s 'right to murder her child,' andwho even provides for a petition to persuade others to do the same? I can think of nobetter reason to vote against such a person. Sherrod Brown, you must go, alongwith the most Pro-Death President in our history this coming November.

There are Three Types of Death, Part 4

2012-01-15T17:00:00.000-05:00

Is Death Inevitable?

The answer to that question is yes and no. How can that be? Read the following conclusion to the series on the three types of death.

Spiritual Death,Physical Death, Eternal Death, Conclusion

Death means separation; it does not mean the end of existence.

Spiritual Death is separation from God. This type of death happened when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The result is that all their offspring are born separated from God. They are spiritually dead even while alive physically.

Physical Death is the separation of the spirit from the body. The body decays back to dust from which it came but the spirit and soul exists on forever.

Eternal Death is in a burning Lake of Fire having first received a resurrected body. The person was judged by God (Jesus Christ) and their name not found written in the Book of Life.

HowTo Escape Eternal Death

If you would rather receive the free gift of God, which is eternal life, then you can by believing on Jesus Christ and by repenting of your sins. A sample payer is, “Lord Jesus Christ forgive me of my sins and come into my heart.”

What stand, if any, will John Boehner take in '12?

Ireceived a solicitation in the mail today from Speaker of the U.S. House John Boehner. He asked me to complete asurvey and to return it with some money for his re-election campaign. I didrespond. Based on what he did in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2011, Iwas very provoked. I sat down and wrote him this letter.

Which Boehner will it we see in 2012? Will it be the establishment country club Republican Boehner, or the principled Tea Party reforming Boehner?

January 14, 2012

Honorable John Boehner

c/o Friends of John Boehner

7908 Cincinnati-Dayton Rd

West Chester, Ohio 45069

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Thank you for your service to our nation.

I received your campaign material today, and I felt compelled to writeto you to express my grave concerns regarding your leadership in the U.S. Houseof Representatives last year.

First, I did complete your 2012 Speaker’s Survey; hopefully it willbe acted upon.

Second, I am extremely disappointed in the Republican leadership inCongress in 2011. The Tea Party Movement sent 80 new mostly conservatives tothe House and a few to the Senate. However, I perceive that they had to battleyou and Senator McConnell as much or more than they did the Democraticopposition in regard to pursuing conservative principles and policies.

The horrible, disgraceful debtdeal was the biggest failure of the GOP in the first half session of the112^th Congress. I am ashamed to be a Republican, but unfortunatelyright now I have nowhere else to turn. You completely caved to President Obamaand now the debt ceiling will be raised another $1.2 trillion with virtually noreal spending cuts or reduction to the deficitor debt to show for it. Why have yousettled for the status quo?

Thirdly, why isn’t there an approved budget? Why do you continue to fool around with Continuing Resolutions? Shouldn’t we bedemanding the Democrats submit a budget before agreeing to any more money beingappropriated? Close down the government until they do!

Fourthly, will you do anything about the unconstitutional recess appointmentsmade by thePresident? Will there be a Congressional investigation conducted when the Housereturns? It seems to me that the President is beginning to act as if there isno Congress …

Finally, why are we reducing employees’ Social Security andMedicare contributions when theseprograms are going broke? Why does Congress continue this farce?

In recent years I saw and heard you in person at several TEA Partyrallies and thought you were going to implement more fiscal restraint when youbecame Speaker. After all, the House holds the purse strings, does it not?

However, if your primary purpose, as it seems to me, is to continuethe status quo, to get re-elected, and to continue to compromise on the TEAParty Movement and conservative principles that put you in power, then I willno longer support you.

I urge you to stand up for the people of Ohio and America in 2012to really cut spending and reduce the size and scope of government in allareas. Please do something that will allow me to support you. Words andspeeches are no longer enough …

Sincerely,

Isincerely hope that the Speaker will hear this plea and begin to drink the TEA!

A Good News Story: Pam Didn’t Abort Her Baby Boy

2012-01-14T11:38:00.000-05:00

I saw the following story in the FridayDaily Brief of the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners.

Awoman named Pam . . . knows the painof considering abortion.

More than 24 years ago, she and her husband Bob were serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying fora fifth child. Pam contractedamoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found incontaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and was treated with strongantibiotics before they discovered she was pregnant.

Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety and told her that themedicines had caused irreversible damage to her baby. She refused the abortionand cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would beborn without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted. Pam said the doctors didn't think of itas a life, they thought of it as a mass of fetal tissue.

Whilepregnant, Pam nearly lost their babyfour times but refused to consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband: If you will giveus a son, we'll name him Timothy and we'll make him a preacher.

Pam ultimately spent the last twomonths of her pregnancy in bed and eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boyAugust 14, 1987. Pam's youngest sonis indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital visits, and serveswith his father's ministry in the Philippines. He also plays football. Pam's son is Tim Tebow.

TheUniversity of Florida's star quarterback became the first sophomore in historyto win college football's highest award, the Heisman Trophy. His current roleas quarterback of the Denver Broncos has provided an incredible platform for Christianwitness. As a result, he is being called The Mile-High Messiah.

Tim's notoriety and the family's inspiring story have given Pam numerousopportunities to speak on behalf of women's centers across the country. PamTebow believes that every little baby you save matters.

May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christbe with you always!

Breaking News!

The Lord is now using this young Denver Broncos quarterback to draw attentionto Himself!!

In last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tebow -- who is known forhis display of JOHN 3:16 when he plays, and who BOWS TO THE LORD duringeach game -- threw the winning pass in overtime of 316 yards! 316 -- there'sthat number, again!

TheNFL fans across the nation went crazy! Suddenly, everyone went to Google andtyped in: JOHN 3:16! What was this Bible verse that Tebow wears? Andwhat does it say??

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and onlySon, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Asthe sportscasters continued to analyze this amazing game, they discovered that Tebow also averaged 31.6 yardsper completion. And to top it off, the Neilsen rating for the last 15 minutesof that game was: 31.6 million viewers!

So, there's that number again: 3:16. Is God speaking from heaven? Does He love us,as the verse promises? And are MANY MULTITUDES now discovering His love througha football game?

It makes you really wonder how many other Tim Tebows, GeorgeWashingtons, Albert Einsteins, orHellen Kellers have been deniedlife, liberty or the pursuit of happiness all because of the hideous, inhumane,immoral, unethical, God-rejecting,but man-made ‘legal’ abortion ‘procedure.’

Petition Circulating Resumes and Lawsuits Begin!

2012-01-13T22:15:00.001-05:00

The Personhood Amendment has been certified and petition circulation has now resumed! And now we are being sued!

Personhood Ohio is being sued by Healthy Families Ohio (arm of Planned Parenthood) in the Ohio Supreme Court

Hello friends of Personhood Ohio,

Please pray that this suit will not hold up our efforts to protect every preborn Ohioan. This will probably give us a sledgehammer with the abortion industry in the press. We will make it plain that this suit proves that the Ohio Personhood Amendment is dangerous to the abortion industry. Pray that Ohioans will be offended that the abortion industry doesn’t want to let them even gather signatures for protect the preborn or to vote on the subject of abortion. (They even requested the Personhood Ohio pay for their attorney’s fees!).

With God, all things are possible – especially His will, and it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish (Matt. 18:14).

Rick Santorum is a Pro-Life Fraud

2012-01-12T23:51:00.001-05:00

Rick Santorum endorsedand campaigned for Arlen Specter, one of the most God-hating Senators we have ever had. Pro-abortion, pro-gay rights Specter spearheaded the effort to kill the Robert Bork nomination to the Supreme Court when Reagan was President. "He's with us on the issues that matter," said Santorum. Specter has always been openly in favor of abortion funding. After Specter switched parties, he voted for Obamacare. And while Santorum claims to be pro-life, he has voted at least 3 times for DHHS appropriations bills which supply Planned Parenthood with your tax dollars to murder babies. Santorum has also endorsed and campaigned for partial birth abortion supporter Christie Todd Whitman.

There have been many bills introduced into the Congress which seek to recognize the personhood of humans from conception. There are arguments among pro-lifers about which one is best. There are ones which use the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment along with Congress' power to enforce it. There are ones that use the Exceptions clause of Article III section 2 to strip abortion jurisdiction from the Supreme Court and the congressional power to create and regulate the lower courts. Others say that the only possible solution is a constitutional amendment. Many professing pro-life congressmen will only support the type of legislation that they think is best. But Rick Santorum has never sponsored or cosponsored ANY bill or resolution recognizing the personhood of the unborn.

Martin Luther King, "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam"

2012-01-12T19:59:00.002-05:00

We are in danger of losing America to the "triple evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militarism," warned Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is a great piece of history which is very relevant for today.

While I don't agree with the parts of the speech which seem to advocate a redistribution of wealth, I certainly agree that unprovoked war is a very foolish and wicked endeavor, which does economically hurt all of our citizens, including the poor. And the fact of the matter is, even with socialistic programs, the poor sometimes get the short end of the stick when the wealthy, such as war profiteers, unjustly get their hands on our tax dollars. The man who led the fight for the South Vietnamese chose Hitler to be his favorite historical character? And we supported him with our tax dollars! Sounds a lot like what is going on in the Middle East. We supported Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Saddam Hussein, Iran, Osama Bin Laden, etc. with our tax dollars at one time or another.

While King derides, to some extent, the concept of property rights, later on he supports God given rights. Of course, the right to own property is one of the rights that God has given us. Perhaps this was a response against people who said that laws against "white only" restaurants were a violation of their property rights. Certainly, this is a problem that Dr. King did not have the correct solution to--at least it was partially incorrect. (Of course the government itself should be legally prevented from making such discriminatory restrictions.) But the fact that our government and many of its citizens had engaged in such hate-motivated racist policies is the perfect argument that our involvement in the Vietman War was pure hypocrisy. How could we go over there to give the Vietnamese people freedom when blacks and whites could not even go to same schools here in America? We don't have much of this brand of racism today, but have something that far worse--abortion. It is the new racism. How can we fight for justice and freedom over in some other country, while we murder our own babies by the thousands every day in our own country. We need to heed Jesus' warning to remove the plank from our own eyes! Like Dr. King, I believe that if you really want peace and you really want to help the people over in the Middle East (both Jews and Muslims) you should be supporting missionaries who will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. Dr. King pointed out that it cost "$500,000 to kill each enemy soldier". When the government prints money like crazy to pay for these wars and all the social programs and bureaucracy, there is less money (purchasing power) in your pocket to be used for doing God's will. Dr. King called this a "giant, demonic, destructive, suction tube" (taking money, lives, and our moral integrity with it). All this hysteria over Islam has caused people to forget that God is all powerful and in control. He will protect us (if we obey His Word) because he is more powerful than Islam. Communist governments fell by the will of God, not because of bombs and bullets, and same thing can happen to Muslims. I agree with Dr. King that dissent is patriotic, not disloyalty. Dr. King pointed out that it is inconsistent to be in favor of using violent means of solving the problems in other nations, while condemning it as a means of solving our own. Think about it. Why bomb cities in the Middle East, but not abortion clinics? What's the difference? Dr. King proved that non-violent means can be effective.

Come home, America.

Late Night Takes on Debating and Campaigning for President

2012-01-11T22:47:00.000-05:00

Late Night Jokes

The double header weekend debates in New Hampshire andcurrent campaigns have done one thing. They have given the late night talk showhosts some good material.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

You know the differencebetween Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and Tim Tebow? When God tells Tim Tebow to run, he wins.

Mitt Romney says heunderstands the middle class, and that he knows it's not easy keeping a roofover your family's heads — as well as vacation roofs in San Diego, NewHampshire, and Park City, Utah.

In Saturday night'sRepublican debate, Jon Huntsman spokeChinese. Why Chinese? If you want to reach the American people, you’ve got tospeak Spanish.

Conan

Fidel Castrodeclared that a robot would do a better job as president than Barack Obama. After hearing this, Mitt Romney thanked Castro for his endorsement.

Mitt Romneyis saying his comments about liking to fire people were taken out of context.Yeah, what he actually said was he likes to set poor people on fire.

The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson

Mitt Romneyhad a huge lead going into the primary. It would’ve taken a miraculous, divinely-inspiredcomeback for anyone to defeat him. So let me be the first to saycongratulations, President Tim Tebow.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Newt Gingrichthinks he's the man for the job. He got an important endorsement from Sarah Palin's husband, Todd. He has the all-important“snowmobilers who wear sunglasses indoors” demographic.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

While campaigningyesterday, Jon Huntsman said he was“ready to rock and roll.” Not to be outdone, Mitt Romney said he was ready to “easy listen.”

These jokes are courtesy of NewsMax.com which periodically sendsout an email compilation of late night jokes, few of which are worth repeating. . . these were the exceptions.

Patrick Henry explains Barack Obama

2012-01-10T23:02:00.007-05:00

At a recent TEA Party meeting, I heard this quote made by one of the speakers, who had quoted an early American patriot. Although it was not used in the context of Barack Obama at that meeting, I think it is very apropos.

“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants (i.e. Obama) forge their chains. A vitiated (poor quality, below acceptable standard in quality of performance) state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” --- Patrick Henry, lawyer, patriot, and orator, symbol of the American struggle for liberty, 1736-1799

With the election of the current occupier of the White House in 2008, America got what the majority wanted, or thought they wanted. In another sense America got what we deserved. In 2012 we must once again remember God, if we want our liberty restored. We must absolutely reject a second term for the incumbent would-be tyrant.

Steve Jobs’ Faith and Politics

2012-01-09T22:47:00.011-05:00

I read an excellent article, “Information Age Icon,” by James Heiser, in the December 19, 2011 issue of The New American magazine. The article was a book review of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. Jobs was the co-founder and former C.E.O. of Apple, Inc.
.

Heiser said that the book “reveals a man driven by personal demons.” Apparently Jobs rejected Christianity and God because he could not reconcile why God would permit suffering such as starving children in Africa in the world. He spend years studying Buddhism. But he died still not sure that there was life after death. Here is a brief excerpt from the article and the book that sheds some insight into the man:
.

There is something that arouses pity when one witnesses such indecision remaining in a man who purportedly devoted so much of his life to seeking transcendent truth. Steve Jobs was profoundly insightful when he came to matters of combining worldly beauty and useful function, and was prepared to vociferously defend his vision for the future of technology; sadly, it appears that he remained of a far less fixed opinion when pondering matters of eternal significance.
.

Demand for Excellence
.

However, despite such a profound equivocation regarding matters of eternal significance, Jobs’ demand for excellence and precision in this world led the middle-aged political liberal to confront Barack Obama, a President who is arguably the most leftwing president in American history. In the fall of 2010, Jobs bluntly told Obama in a face-to-face meeting: “You’re headed for a one-term presidency.” As Isaacson explains:
.

He described how easy it was to build a factory in China, and said that it was almost impossible to do so these days in America, largely because of regulations and unnecessary costs.
.

Jobs also attacked America’s education system, saying that it was hopelessly antiquated and crippled by union work rules. Until the teachers’ unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform. Teachers should be treated as professionals, he said, not as industrial assembly-line workers. Principals should be able to hire and fire them based on how good they were.

There are Three Types of Death, Part 3

2012-01-08T08:51:00.008-05:00

This blog article is part three of my four-part series on the types of death faced by each human being. To see my previous articles in this series click here.

Spiritual Death, Physical Death, Eternal Death

The eternal death is when anyone who has not received the Lord Jesus Christ into their heart, and is when whose name is not found written in the Lord’s Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire, eternally separated from God.

Some will ask if there is a literal heaven or a literal hell or lake of fire? Yes, according to the Holy Bible. “The Lord looks down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek God” (Psalms 14:2). “And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man” (John 1:51). “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20).”

Is there a lake of fire or hell? Yes. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14, 15).

“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (I John 3:15, 16).

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:’” (Matthew 25:31-34, 41).

False teachers will deny the reality of the final judgment. The Bible teaches in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Unbelievers will stand at the Great White Throne Judgment because they have not believed on or received the Lord Jesus Christ, and their names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and they will have to face eternal death in the lake of Fire” (Revelation 20:11-15).

What if a person believed in God but not in The Lord Jesus Christ? “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5); “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (The Lord Jesus Christ), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (I John 5:7).

Do you want your name written in the Book of Life? Then pray this simple prayer, “God, I am sorry for my sin. I turn from my sin right now. I thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sin and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be my Lord, Savior, and Friend.”

MittvMitt.com: The story of two men trapped in one body

2012-01-07T10:00:00.003-05:00

If former Governor Mitt Romney becomes the GOP nominee for President, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the radical leftist dominated Democratic Party will have a field day attacking Mr. Romney as they did in the ad shown below. That is why should be defeated in the primaries and a real conservative be matched against the radical leftist who now occupies the White House.

Gun Owners of America Presidential Picks

My GOP Presidential Candidate Batting Lineup

2012-01-06T21:31:00.008-05:00

I know it’s football season, but the baseball analogy fits better for what I am about to say.

BATTING ORDER AS OF 01 06 2012

Mitt Romney, since he apparently won the-ever-so close Iowa Caucus, may now be considered the frontrunner going into the New Hampshire Primary. Will he also be knocked off that lofty perch like Pawlenty, Bachmann, Perry, Cain and Gingrich before him, when they on top?

The two debates this weekend will have a lot to say about Romney’s future, they’ll be a real test. The primary advantage the flip-flopping Romney has is his mega load of cash; it certainly isn’t his conservative credentials. After all, his credentials are as suspect as Barack Obama meeting the requirements and qualifications to be president.

The Left will desperately continue to fatten-up the double-minded Mitt Romney for the kill in November. They want to build him up just like they did that mad moderate maverick, John McCain, in 2008, only to turn around and viciously attack him (and his VP choice, as well) in the last presidential election.

In addition, the media intend to do their very best to vet any GOP candidate. While simultaneously, they’ll continue the cover-up of the Democratic incumbent. They will ratchet up the shill factor on behalf of Mr. Obama.

Here is my current GOP batting order of my personal preferences for the GOP Presidential nominee:

ACCEPTABLE

1 - ~~Michele Bachmann~~ ~~– well-rounded consistent conservative candidate. One of her credentials for me is that she is so disrespected and rejected by the main stream media as a Christian conservative woman~~.

2 – A Conservative*** to be named later

MARGINALLY ACCEPTABLE

3 - ~~Herman Cain~~ ~~– campaign suspended effective 12/3/2012~~

4 - Rick Santorum – strong on social issues, foreign policy may be too interventionist

5 - Rick Perry – seems to be mostly okay on fiscal, social, weak on immigration, lousy in the early debates

UNACCEPTABLE

6 - Newt Gingrich – like Romney talks a good line, but has acted opposite on many issues.Great in the debates.

7 - Ron Paul – strong fiscally, middle of the road socially, denies Islamic threat to America and the world, wants to legalize hardcore drugs

8 - Jon Huntsman - would make a good Democrat candidate

9 - Mitt Romney – an establishment stooge, will the real Romney please stand up? Ronald Reagan was the Gipper. Willard Romney is the Flipper! Romney would be Socialist-lite in comparison to the hardcore socialist/Markist 44^th President.

10 – Barack Obama - has proved these past three + years that he was the wrong person for the job. He now is a known entity, at least we have a record, which his lawyers can’t seal or keep from the public, although he and his media cronies will try to distort that record all the way until November.

*** I’m not sure who “the conservative to be named later” might be, but someone like Rep. Allen West would sure be a better candidate than most of the current crop.

CONCLUSION

Barack Obama is very vulnerable after the economic and social engineered destruction he has wreaked on this country, with his dangerous transformative ‘hope and change’ socialist policies and actions. The GOP should have had an easy win in the Presidential Election. However, with the candidates that remain in the race they are tying one hand behind their backs. Like Little Red Riding Hood, all you can say when you get down to it, is ‘what an awful group of candidates you have, Grand-Olde-Party!’ In addition, House Speaker John Boehner and his Senate sidekick Mitch McConnell didn’t help the cause by caving in time and again to the radical leftist controlled Democrats. The TEA Party put Boehner in power, but he forgot about us. Apparently he’ll remember us again in this Fall, but so will we!

All of the remaining Presidential candidates have flaws; the only thing that distinguishes them is the degree of severity of those flaws. All are far from ideal. Some are very far from ideal, making them unacceptable. If this current crop of crappy candidates is all there is, the GOP will have a battle wrestling the title from the World Lightweight President.

I plan to support the candidates above in the order presented. As the top candidates drop out I will continue to support the candidates until they reach the UNACCEPTABLE level. Then I’m not sure what I’ll do. In 2008 I refused to vote for the GOP nominee and voted for Alan Keyes, maybe this year it will have to be Allen West!

Taxes, Spending, and Budget Issues

She voted against the 2010 extension of the Bush tax cuts [1-3]. She has sponsored legislation to end federal inheritance taxes and end the Alternative Minimum Tax on individuals. [4] She voted for the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011. [5] This repealed the law which would have required you to file a 1099 every time you buy something for $600 or more from a small business. [6, 7]

Michele Bachmann voted “no” on Obama’s economic stimulus bills. [8, 9] She voted to end taxpayer funding of Presidential campaigns. [10] But she has not cosponsored the bill to cut congressional pay by 5%. [11] She has not cosponsored the bill that would require that unused portions of each congressman’s budget be used for deficit or debt reduction. [12] She has not cosponsored the bill (the End the Stimulus Advertisement Act) to ban the use of taxes for highway signs that indicate that a project is funded by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Obama’s Economic Stimulus Bill). [13]

She supports legislation to require that paying off the debt be given priority over all other obligations if the debt ceiling is reached. [14] She supports legislation which would require that unused money from the economic stimulus bill be used to pay off the National debt.

She always votes “no” on raising the debt ceiling. [17-19] She supports a balanced budget amendment. [20]

[1] I know that Michele Bachmann voted against this from word of mouth. The vote for this particular bill was done by voice vote and was not recorded in the archives of the Library of Congress because Congress passed a measure to suspend the rules regarding voting procedure for this bill. Below are a link to the text of the legislation and an alternative link which has the unofficial vote tally.

2012 is supposed to be the year the world ends. Have you seen the national debt? If the world doesn't end, we are so screwed.

It turns out the suspect in the arson fires is a German man who is upset about his mother's immigration status. Apparently his mom didn't know you could just walk over from Mexico.

Political analysts are saying that Mitt Romney is having trouble generating enthusiasm among Iowa voters. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you know you have a problem when people in Iowa find you dull.

The U.S. government is selling $30 billion worth of fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. Yeah, it’s part of a new initiative called, “Operation Regret This In Five Years.”

The People, the Government, the Bible, and the Mess We’re In Part 3

2012-01-04T19:49:00.000-05:00

WARNING: THIS BLOG POST IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. IT MAY BE PERCEIVED BY SOME AS ANTI-FEMINISTS, HOMOPHOBIC, ISLAMAPHOBIC, AND/OR BIGOTED. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE INTENT OF THIS ARTCLE. THE INTENT IS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.

This is the third of a three part series which I started on Monday.

Many people have said that 2012 is a pivotal year for our nation. I agree. There is no year more critical to America’s future, than 2012. This post offers a plan to correct America’s disrespect for Life, Marriage, and Education, and its blinded foolish acceptance of Debt and Islam, five key areas where America has regressed very badly … All of these five drifts, trends, or choices are in direct violation of the Constitution, natural and moral law.

AN ACTION PLAN

God Bless America. Do we want to continue to be blessed by Divine Providence? Then we must return to the basics. There are two parts to the plan. One is pointed at the American Christian church, and the other is directed to all Americans.

Christian Americans

As the body of Christ in America, Christians, Pastors, leaders, and the pew occupiers, have a unique and awesome responsibility. We are commanded to live by the two great commandments of scripture. These non-negotiable duties are summarized in the New Testament book of Matthew. You can consider these the first principles of a Christian’s life:

· To love God and to love our fellow man:

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

How do we do this? First and foremost. we must repent individually from our evil ways, our apathy, including taking responsibility for our past contribution with respect to the nations' mess in the five areas noted above.

In addition, Christians need to lead clean lives, exemplary lives, which honor God and show respect and love to our neighbors. How do we do this? We make it a priority to personally worship God, to pray for ourselves, our families, our neighbors, etc., and to incorporate the Bible into our lives through reading, studying, listening etc. We need to repent of our sins, our apathy, and lack of involvement in our civic responsibilities. We must turn to Divine Providence for guidance and direction.

We must also be good citizens as outlined below.

All Americans

As good citizens of the greatest country in the world we must be involved in our communities. We have the responsibility to defend and preserve our freedoms and rights. What are these freedoms and rights? They include:

· The first freedoms – freedom of religion, the free exercise of religion; the freedom of speech and the press; freedom to assemble peaceably, and freedom to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution), and

· The first rights – life, liberty, and property or pursuit of happiness… (outlined in our Declaration of Independence)

We must educate ourselves on the principles and issues upon which the nation was first created. We need to educate ourselves on the non-revisionist history of America.

Then we must become intimately involved in the political process and in our culture, working for and voting for strong conservative candidates in the primaries and in the general election. As our founding fathers did, we must willingly give our time, our talents and our treasure to this cause.

For the nation to survive beyond 2012 we must have a president other than the radical socialist liberal Barack Hussein Obama, or the socialist liberal lite Willard Mitt Romney.

Equally important, we must have more Rand Pauls and Mike Lees in the Senate and more Louie Gohmerts and Jim Jordans in the House.

In many ways the TEA Party Movement exemplifies the recognition of the need to return to the ideals, principles, and values of our Founding Fathers. Let’s all do our part in 2012 to take the TEA Party Movement to the next level and outdo what was done in 2009 and 2010.

The TEA Party ideology must ‘occupy’ the seats of power in Washington, D.C. We must reject and replace the RINO John Boehner-Mitch McConnel establishment status quo. They are as bad as the radical hope and change agenda of the liberal Marxist Barack Obama. Both of these political philosophies must be replaced.

Therefore like John Wycliffe before, we face these mighty giants who hate us and who want to repress the movement, freedom, and liberty and want to destroy our country. But like Wycliffe we must totally dedicate ourselves to doing what is right as he and many of America’s forefathers later did, despite the great obstacles that they faced.

Let’s take hold of the challenge and make 2012 the year of real hope and real change takes place in our lives and in how Washington, D.C. will be radically reconstituted in November!

The People, the Government, the Bible, and the Mess We’re In Part 2

2012-01-03T20:01:00.002-05:00

This blog post is the second of a series of articles which attempts to show the direct correlation and interrelationship between the principles and precepts found in the Judeo-Christian Bible and the American people and the American government. It also attempts to explain why we are in a state of crisis on so many fronts.

Without adherence to the sound foundation that our founding fathers established in America, since the earliest days of the New England settlements, we will continue to drift into mediocrity and eventual annihilation.

Today we will explore five areas – Debt, Marriage, Life, Islamism, and Education - in which we have deviated, nearly abandoning all sound reason, principles, morality, and philosophy.

DISTURBINGLY DESTRUCTIVE DEBT

First, we are horribly in debt over our heads as individuals and as a nation. This violates commonsense, sound economic policy, and more importantly God’s standard as clearly indicated below:

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” Romans 18:8

MALICIOUSLY MALIGNING MARRIAGE

Second, our national government and the far left elements of our society seek to disrespect, to denigrate, and to redefine marriage to mean something it is not. To do so disregards the clear mandate of God:

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder (separate). Mark 10:6-9

LOSING LOVE OF LIFE

Third, we have failed to uphold the basic tenant that all human life is sacred. Many who are in government, and those who are in positions of power throughout society, especially those who are on the political left, all seemingly reject the uniqueness and preciousness of life. Human life apparently is subservient to what the elite ‘enlightened’ feel is important – the air, trees, critters, their own power and control.

The majority of Americans believe that life is sacred from the moment of conception until natural death. However, despite this fact, our government, our courts, and our politicians choose to ignore what the majority knows is right, and reject God’s clear instruction regarding human personhood. What we have is a clear, wanton violation of His Law and nature’s law:

For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was (bones were) not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Psalm 139:13-15

IGNORNING ISLAMISM

The fourth area where we have failed to stick to standards that have stood our country so well for so long is that we are allowing the Islamic system to achieve a foothold in our culture. We ignore the distinct threat of Islam to the American democratic republic form of government.

You see Islam is not your typical religion. No, it is much more. From its inception it has been a system. That system consists of elements of political, militaristic, and cultural under a deceptive cloak or cover of religiosity. Like communism, it is at its core an insidious, evil force that wants to control, to dominate, and to subjugate the world.

Looking just at the religious aspect of Islam, there is much to support the assertion that it is a false religion. Islam claims that Jesus Christ was a mere prophet and not the Son of God, not God. Islam denies the deity and the redemptive work of Jesus. It rejects the claim of the Judeo-Christian Bible that Jesus died for mankind, enabling man to be reconciled to a Holy God.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

Since the earliest settlers of America and through our founding history we have been a Christian nation. We have continued to be a majority Christian nation, despite what the current occupier of the White House claims to the contrary. Our founding documents and our very governmental structure are based on proven biblical principles. We see an erosion of those principles, which are far worse than any environmental damage man may be doing to our planet.

ERRONEOUS EDUCATION

We have rejected the moral and religious education, which benefited previous generations. We have substituted a godless, pagan, secular humanistic philosophy for God’s philosophy. How is that working out for us?

Our education system is an abject failure, despite the exorbitant amounts of money we continuously pour into it, trying to quench the insatiable demand of the academic elite for more and more. The more money we give the education system the worse the results become. Instead of helping improve our education system, organizations like the ACLU, the NEA and AFT seek to advance their corrupt political agenda with no regard for true quality and virtuous education of our children.

What happened to this simple truth?

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

What happen to the standard of moral, wholesomeness, practical, excellence in education?

WHAT NOW?

These five areas exemplify what happens when a society rejects God and His clear guidelines for living. America has chosen to go away from, instead of going with God. That is the reason we see day by day the destructive consequences of taking that path.

Tomorrow we will look at an action plan that seeks to turn things around. Many people have said that 2012 is a pivotal year. There are none more critical to America’s future.

To be continued
