“No amount of riches can atone for poverty of character.”

 Matt 5:33-37: 33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (NIV)

Matt 5:33-37: (from THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language © 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson. All rights reserved.) “And don’t say anything you don’t mean. This counsel is embedded deep in our traditions. 34 You only make things worse when you lay down a smoke screen of pious talk, saying, ‘I’ll pray for you,’ and never doing it, or saying, ‘God be with you,’ and not meaning it. You don’t make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. 37 Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.”

We are living in a time where “character” seems to be on life support. The standards I grew up on have long since seen their death in our society. Social graces I was raised with have been trampled to death by a single generation, and I am ashamed, and proud, to admit that I am a part of that generation – The Baby Boomers.

I am proud of all the men and women who came through that time governed by the Christian world view, shaped by the involved upbringing of The Great Generation, well groomed in the Social graces that showed respect for everyone, and actually said things like;

• “Yes Sir”,
• “No Sir”,
• “Pardon Me”,
• “I’m sorry”,
• “I was wrong”,
• “Please”,
• “Thank You”
• Actually cared about what someone else has to say.

Most of our generation is these kinds of people. We served in Viet Nam; we served in the Peace Corp and are members of American Society that actually cares about doing what is right.

I am greatly ashamed of the minority of our generation who became the “Hippies” and extreme Left Wing activist demonstrating at home while the Patriots of our generation where fighting and dying in Viet Nam. These are the people who were indoctrinated by the Far Left, Socialist, and Communist supporting professors of colleges like Berkley. Adding to the shame of their conduct, they have become Extreme Left State and Federal politicians who are responsible for the destruction of our public schools, the rise to tyrannical power of the Unions, the creation of laws that are diametrically opposed to all the our Founders stood for, fought for and died for.

These extreme Left Hippies;

• Are the ones that deliberately lied to the Supreme Court on Roe verses Wade to get an extreme Liberal Court to create law from the bench so that over 55 million American citizens could be legally slaughtered in the womb.
• They are the ones that want to disarm Americans so that tyranny can rise to;
  • Oppress our citizens
  • Destroy the Constitution and create a Western European style Socialistic government
  • Control our free market place and elevate their Union accomplices to greater oppressive power
  • Oppress Evangelical Christians limiting what is preached, taught and lived
  • They are the ones who produced the “Self-Appointed” Professional “Pot Stirrers” whose only job is to;
    • make their constituents focus on historical wrongs, making them believe that such hatred still exists today
    • Keep them convinced that the Far Left are the only ones that care about them and that Conservatives want to make them slaves again.
    • Keep them poor so that they are dependent on the Left for their existence.
    • They have created great hatred for those that work hard and earn their living, or for anyone who has more than they do, and especially those who have amassed wealth through building a business and employ others.
    • These Pot Stirrers are directly responsible for creating the Class Warfare that is building to fever pitch.
    • These people are responsible for our “Touchy-Feely” social atmosphere so that anything can offend anyone at any moment and most people have all the feelings on their “sleeve”. Being offended has become a standard way of opposing anyone that does not agree with you.
    • These Hippies are also the ones that have created the Homosexual Political Army whose design is to force homosexuality down our throats forcing all of America to accept a chosen lifestyle as normal and acceptable.
    • They are also responsible for establishing that Political atmosphere that says, “If you don’t agree with me, than you are;
      • a racist,
      • homophobe,
      • hater,
      • social outcast who wants everyone to drink dirty water,
      • have women go into back alleys to have abortions using a coal hanger,
      • starve poor children,
      • take Social Security away from Seniors,
      • reintroduce Slavery,
      • pollute our air,
      • make the rich richer.

The States, like California, are on the brink of bankruptcy, because of these Hippies. Everything that is wrong about our Federal Government is because of these Hippies and their ideology. They are the ones that are working hard to disarm Americans. They stand for oppression, massive governmental control of American citizens and total control of the marketplace. They believe in a One World Government and control. Can you say “Antichrist”?

Sadly, the greater portion of my “Baby Boomer” generation has gone to sleep, or have become apathetic and uninvolved. Making matters worse are my fellow Evangelical Christians who have stopped being “Salt and Light” in our putrefying and darkening society. Therefore, evil in all of its forms are running amuck and growing in power in ever-increasing proportions. Only a genuine Holy Spirit Revival wakening the church to its responsibility to be the influence in our society and government that the Lord Jesus Christ designed His church to be will change the course of America.

Can I count on your commitment?

Finally, a quote from Thomas Jefferson;

 “God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.”
