What Democrats Want, Day 62, Countdown to Oblivion? LAW AND ORDER (Part 1)


As of today, there are 62 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history. 
The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.
Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election scheduled for November 3, 2020.

What ever happened to law and order? Anyone examining the political and cultural landscape today, especially in the large metropolitan areas, would have to  agree that we are lacking law and order. Riots, looting, arson, vandalism, assaults and even murder exist essentially unchecked by local “authorities.” What is the solution to this lawlessness? Why does this lawlessness exist? What caused the lawlessness in the first place? 
Is America a Lawless Society?
The answer is “Yes.” We have the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to thank for much of the increased lawlessness. Why? The nation has become more and more pagan because instead of looking at our Founding Documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, we have conformed our “laws” to a changing and perverse culture. 
How did this happen? Through a string of wicked, unconstitutional rulings by  activist, agenda-driven judicial tyrants the fundamental transition of America has been “progressing”:
Ø  Prayer taken out of schools - Engel v. Vitale (1962)

Ø  Bible tossed out of the schools - Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)

Ø  Removing the 10 commandments out of the schools – Stone v. Graham (1980)

Ø  Making abortion “legal” -Roe v. Wade (1963) and Bolton v. Doe (1963)

Ø  Legalizing sodomy - Lawrence v. Texas (2003)

Ø  Legalizing same sex “marriage” - Obergefell v. Hodges (2015)

Ø  Protecting employees against discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity - Bostock v. Clayton County (2020)
In these rulings we have essentially tried to kicked God out of our schools and public square.  We have become barbaric when in 1973 abortion became legalized and continues relative unchecked and vehemently protected by the full force and might of the Democratic Party. We’ve also made gross sexual immoral behavior (LHBT) acceptable, protected and celebrated.
What is the Cause of Lawlessness?
As a nation have incrementally turned our collective backs on the Founder’s blueprint in establishing a new nation, separating from the tyrannical British Empire 250 years ago. 
Look at the words of the opening paragraph of our Declaration of Independence:
Ø  “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.”
The writers refer to two different sets of laws, nature’s and God’s. Here the reference to nature is to God’s creation. There are certain systems, order and processes that can be observed with the eye and studied by scientists and others which serve as the basis of the various sciences and areas of study, which is naturally occurring. Then there is certain and inevitable systems, processes, order and laws on a spiritual plane, which were established by God. These are found in the Bible. The Founders clearly understood the two sets of laws. They used them as a basis for breaking away from the British and starting a new nation under God.

Is the Tea Party is 'the most destructive political entity ever seen'


I try to visit and participate in the Cleveland.com Politics Forum as often as I can. Today I responded to this post by someone named TheHitman85:

The Tea Party is the most destructive political entity ever seen in this country. The Nullifier Party runs a distant second. Sad really. When will Boehner and the majority of moderate republicans dump these bozo's before a total dismantling of the party.

Here is how I responded:

Sorry, Hit, but the Democrat Party is the most destructive …
The Democrat Party has not passed a budget in nearly 4 years. They run up unsustainable deficits year after year. They demand more ‘revenue’ or taxes; yet refuse to deal with excessive, wasteful government spending.
The ‘destructive’ TEA Party demands that both the ‘moderate’ Republicans and the leftist Democrats balance the government budget.
They want entitlements reformed, including the repeal of an unsustainable new entitlement, ObamaCare. They want the American Health Care System reformed, not transformed into a socialized/state controlled enterprise.
They want their government to do the one duty it is supposed to do – national security – to recognize our enemies (Islam and Islamic Terrorists states and groups) and to treat them as such and not to kowtow and to continually appease them.
They want our porous borders secured. They want the laws of the land enforced.
They demand that the principles of the Declaration of Independence – God given rights of Life, Liberty and Property be preserved and protected.
They want God, the Bible and Judeo-Christian ethics and values restored to the public financed classroom instead of the secular humanistic religion that replaced it and now rules the day…
If this is destructive, call me a destroyer!

The Supreme Judge of the world



In the Declaration of Independence an appeal is made to the Supreme Judge of the world. Was the Supreme Judge of the world some figment of its drafters' imagination, which, in reality, does not exist, or is He someone who is real and does exist? Do you know?

Here is a direct quote from the Declaration of Independence itself:

“WE, THEREFORE, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare. That These United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States:”


In the Holy Bible we read that Abraham after feeding three strangers, who happen to be God and two angels, gets up and walks a short ways with them toward Sodom (Genesis 18:20-26).

“And the LORD said, ‘Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.’

“And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

“’Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the
Judge of all the earth do right?’

“And the LORD said, ‘If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.’


In this exchange we see that Abraham is addressing this person, Who is God, as the ‘Judge of all the earth.’ This I would take as being the same person as the signers of the Declaration of Independence are referring to as the Supreme Judge of the world.

We find in John 5:22-27 that Jesus is the Judge of the world.


“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”


The United States of America's very existence is from the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, don’t you think we should honor Him in our lives, nation, and state?

Indivisibility?

(The above display of an upside-down American flag is not a sign of disrespect, but of dire distress.)

http://www.jeffhead.com/liberty/flagdistress.htM

I have one thing in common with Michael Newdow, the ACLU and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. I hate the Pledge of Allegiance. But the reason why I hate it is very different than their reasons. The reason why I am writing this now is that in one of the town hall meeting videos on this blog, Tim Bishop responded to a question about the unconstitutionality of government-run healthcare (this is because of the 10th amendment) by quoting the part of the Pledge about our nation being “indivisible”. (This mentally impaired hack took this to mean that if one American needs healthcare, all Americans should pay for it.) The Pledge is not in the Constitution and never should be. It is not at all like the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, or the Federalist papers. And if we are really so "indivisible", then why are so many people so angry at their congressman these days?

The original Pledge was written by a Socialist named Francis Bellamy. He claimed to be a Christian, at least at first, but (according some sources) fell away from the church into a godless Socialism. The writing of the Pledge was just an assignment given to him by the magazine he worked for. The purpose was to boost sales. There was no “under God” in the original Pledge. The original accompanying salute to the flag (according to Wikipedia) “involved stretching the arm out towards the flag in a manner that resembled the later Nazi salute.” It had nothing to do with the founding of the Union of states or any of its laws. The Pledge was not written until 1892 and "under God" was not officially added until 1954.

Now let’s examine the text itself. The original wording was:

I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to* the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

(* 'to' added in October 1892).

I have no problem with “liberty and justice for all”, but these words had, by that time, been distorted, and much as they are today, mean different things to different people. But how can a Christian pledge allegiance to an inanimate object? Is this not idolatry?

Certainly I believe that we should have some sense of pride and patriotism for our country (at least Bellamy acknowledged the correct form of government of our country unlike our modern politicians who say “democracy”), but to pledge allegiance to it under any and all circumstances is dangerous. What better way to precede the daily brainwashing of children in the public school system than to force them to pledge their allegiance to an Obama-controlled, fascist government? If Michelle Obama can say, “for the first time in my life I’m proud of my country”, then maybe we should start saying that we are NOT proud of our country. How is it that it is improper flag etiquette to put the Christian flag above the United States flag when they are flown on the same pole? Why is it that there used to be such a to-do about a Constitutional amendment to put people in jail for burning a U.S. flag, but no one suggested criminalizing the burning of a Bible? Where are our priorities?

The original pledge, having been written after the Civil War, uses the word “indivisible” in a way that is a direct attack on state’s rights. The Declaration of Independence says:

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.



The institution of the Pledge into the schools may also have helped solidify blind loyalty to the United States in the Spanish-American War, which was a war in which we were the aggressor.


If you read the entire Declaration of Independence, you will see that many of the grievances which compelled the Founders to secede from British rule are the same grievances we have today (and most we had even before Obama’s alleged Presidency). We do have a right to secede, and as far as I’m concerned, the sooner the better. We need to stop believing in this idea that the United States must be preserved under any and all circumstances. That is idolatry. We are to put the Bible first. If secession is the only way to abolish this tyrannical system and to restore a republican form of government, that is what we should do. But like disobedient Israel, we may someday be ruled over by another nation and if it is God doing it to punish us, no amount of patriotism or "pulling together" is going to stop it.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Signed Letter

Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Statesmen-Patriots

It is interesting to note that Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown was one of the 41 Senators who signed that letter falsely accusing Rush Limbaugh of besmirching our soldiers in Iraq. Senator Reid sent the petty, lying letter to Rush Limbaugh's "boss" demanding he make Rush apologize for the prefabricated and misrepresented accusation about "phony soldiers". In my mind the only phony ponies are Senator Reid and his comrades-who-harm, those who signed the letter. Did Senator Brown also apologize for signing that letter? If not, he should.

What a far cry the politicians and poluticians of today are – especially the Democrats who stooped to sign such a nonsensical and untrue Declaration of Condemnation against the king of talk radio - compared to those great statesman and patriots, who in 1776, signed the Declaration of Independence from the tyrannical King of England. That is a long drop or fall from grace and status in 231 years. Senators Reid, Brown and the others deserve to be voted out of office at the first opportunity. Or maybe a “fairness doctrine” should be mandated on the speech of the congressional left, ya think?

Why does the Left hate America so much that they would continually condemn and hypocritically say they support the troops, yet they do all they can to undermine and even commit near treasonous acts to undermine the military and our attempt to win the victory in the war on terror? All I can concldue is that they want to estabish an America far different than our Founding Fathers shown in the above picture envisioned.

Rediscovering God in America

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) We arrived here in D.C. around 7:00 PM Wednesday evening for the Values Voters Washington Briefing that is being held Friday and Saturday. I was again amazed at the volume of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, that pulsated through the arteries of this city. The weather, too, seemed more like July 16th rather than October 16th.

We stopped at a couple of bookstores, which were within walking distance of the Washington Hilton. After the second bookstore stop, I found the book for which I was looking, Rediscovering God in America, Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future. I found the book at the Books*A*Million. I had recalled this particular title form a radio show I had heard several months ago. The book was written by Newt Gingrich. It is a walking tour of Washington, D.C. in which the former Representative points out the how America had honored God in the past and preserved this honor and respect in some of the great monuments around Washington.

After our group had a breakfast Question and Answer with Representative Duncan Hunter, we later spent a good four to five hours following the former Speaker of the House's guided tour book. The book recommended starting the tour at the National Archives. We did this. We saw the actual preserved Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What a privilege it was to be able to see this documents in person. Some of the ink, like some of the Founding Father's values have begun to fade, but they still are as meaningful as ever.

One gross error I noted was on one of the display signs in the exhibition hall, which described that our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were "natural rights." This is not how the Declaration of Independence stated the derivation of these rights. The Declaration says that the source of these rights are from God.


The Gingrich book guided next suggested visiting the Washington Monument, which we did. All of the free tickets to the monument had been given away by the time we arrived at the monument. We settled for getting close to the monument and in trying to notice the aluminum at the peak of the monument with the Latin inscription, "Praise God." These words are located on the eastern side of the peak. The morning sun rises reflecting first on these words every day.

We also walked to the two of the newer monuments, the World War II monument and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Both of these structures were essentially secular and make no mention of God. This truly is an insult to God, to whom participants in those wars at home and abroad had prayed. We saw the Jefferson Memorial from the Mall, but did not visit.

We did have an evening tour of the Capitol Building which was very rich in historical Christian history. Our tour guides for this live tour of the Capitol were Representative Steve Chabot (R-OH) and Rick Green from WallBuilders.org. They pointed out that the Capitol had been used for church services and prayer. Thomas Jefferson, in fact, allowed the Capitol to be used for Church services during his entire presidency. Likewise, he attended those services throughout his terms in office. This is the same person who supposedly is the author of the separation of church and state doctrine. If he was its author, he was its greatest violator.

What the book and the Capitol tour emphasized to me is that there is much history to learn, much education to be done for myself, the average American and the Christian. We are losing our heritage. We must restore and preserve our Christian heritage for ourselves, our fellow Americans and our posterity.
