Preparing to Vote Number 3


Continental Congress March 16, 1776, approved a day of fasting and prayer for the Colonies: “The Congress…..Desirous…to have people of all ranks and degrees duly impressed with a solemn sense of God’s superintending providence, and of their duty, devoutly to rely on his aid and direction.. Do earnestly recommend Friday, the 17th day of May be observed by the colonies as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer; that we may with united hearts, confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and, by sincere repentance and amendment of life, appease God’s righteous displeasure, and through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ obtain this pardon and forgiveness.”

Continental Congress July 1, 1776, heard John Adams declare his intentions to the delegates from the Thirteen Colonies: “Before God, I believe the hour has come. My judgment approves this measure and my whole heart is in it. All that I have, and all that I am, and all that I hope in the life. I am now ready here to stake upon it. And I leave off as I began, that live or die, survive or perish, I am for the Declaration. It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now, and Independence forever!”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

On July 20, 1775, General Washington issued the order: “The General orders this day to be religiously observed by the forces under his Command, exactly in manner directed by the Continental Congress. It is therefore strictly enjoined on all officers and soldiers to attend Divine service. And it is expected that all these who go to worship do take their arms, ammunition and accoutrements, and are prepared for immediate action, if called upon.”

On July 2, 1776, from his headquarters in New York, General Washington issued this order: “The time is now near at hand, which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die.”

Preparing to Vote Number 2


 At age 15, George Washington copied, in his own handwriting, 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. Among them were:

  • 108) When you speak of God, or His attributes, let it be seriously and with reverence. Honor and obey your natural parents although they may be poor.
  • 109) Let your recreations be manful not sinful.
  • 110) Labour to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.

When George Washington was leaving home to begin what would become a lifelong service for his country, he recorded the parting words of his mother, Mrs. Mary Washington:

Remember that God is our only sure trust. To Him, I commend you…My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer.

 The account of George Washington at the Battle of the Monongahela was included in student textbooks in America until 1934. During the French & Indian War, George Washington fought alongside of the British General Edward Braddock. On July 9, 1755, the British were on the way to Fort Duquesne, when the French surprised them in an ambush attack.

The British, who were not accustomed to fighting unless in an open field, were being annihilated. Washington rode back and forth across the battle delivering General Braddock’s orders. As the battle raged, every other officer on horseback, except Washington, was shot down. Even General Braddock was killed at which point the troops fled in confusion. After the battle, on July 18, 1755, Washington wrote to his brother, John, A. Washington:

 “But by the all-powerful dispensations of Provence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me.”

 (The next article jumps ahead 15 years, but is germane to the above article. I might add that at the time of the above battle, the Indians joined the French in fighting the English, while Washington joined the English.…..Benny)

 Fifteen years later, Washington and Dr. Craik, a close friend of his from his youth, were traveling through the same woods, near the Ohio river and Great Kanawha river. They were met by an old Indian chief, who addressed Washington through an interpreter:

“I am a chief and ruler over my tribes. My influence extends to the waters of the great lakes and to the far blue mountains.I have traveled a long and weary path that I might see the young warrior of the great battle. It was on the day when the white man’s blood mixed with the streams of our forests that I first beheld this chief {Washington}’

“I called to my young men and said, mark yon tall and daring warrior? He is not of the red-coat tribe.—he hath an Indian’s wisdom, and his warriors fight as we do—himself alone exposed. ‘Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss—‘twas all in vain, a power mightier far than we, shielded you.”

“Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you. I am old and soon shall be gathered to the great council fire of my fathers in the land of shades, but ere I go there is something bids me speak in the voice of prophecy.’

“Listen! The Great Spirit protects that man {pointing to Washington}, and guides his destinies—he will become the chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him as the founder of a mighty empire. I am come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle.”

The famous Indian warrior, who was in that battle, said,: “Washington was never born to be killed by a bullet! I had seventeen fair fires at him with my rifle, and after all could not bring him to the ground.”

I will not be endorsing any person during these articles. In looking to the future I want to step back into our past. I hope to nourish our love for the USA that will hopefully take you to the voting booth after bathing your choice in prayer. You may have forgotten some of this, maybe some of it will be new, but all will be fantastic reading. Trust me!! Please pray for our Nation and for me.

 

These articles that I will be presenting to you can be proven. After I have concluded these articles, I will provide any requests for information on my sources. Again I will not take any side in the present political debates in these articles. So….here we go. Please give me a week or more to convince you to check these out daily………….

Congress of Massachusetts, Provincial October 22, 1774 concurred with the declaration of its President, John Hancock:

“We think it is incumbent upon this people to humble themselves before God on account of their sins, for He hath been pleased in His righteous judgment to suffer a great calamity to befall us, as the present controversy between Great Britain and the Colonies, [And] also to implore the Divine Blessing upon us, that by the assistance of His grace, we may be enabled to reform whatever is amiss among us, that so God may be pleased to continue to us the blessings we enjoy, and remove the tokens of His displeasure, by causing harmony and union to be restored between Great Britain and these Colonies.”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

 

The First Prayer in Congress offered by Rev. Duche in Carpenter’s Hall, Philadelphia, on Sept. 7, 1774.

 

“Be Thou present O God of Wisdom and direct the counsel of this Honorable Assembly; enable them to settle all things on the best and surest foundations; that the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, Harmony and Peace may be effectually restored, and the Truth and Justice, Religion and Piety, prevail and flourish among the people.

Preserve the health of their bodies, and the vigor of their minds, temporal Blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting Glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Saviour, Amen

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Library of Congress, from the collected reports of the various patriots, recorded on a famous historical placard the effect of that first prayer upon Congress:

 

“Washington was kneeling there, and Henry, Rutledge, Lee, and Jay, and by their side there stood, bowed in reverence, the Puritan Patriots of New England, who at that moment had reason to believe that an armed soldiery was wasting their humble households. It was believed that Boston had been bombarded and destroyed.

 

They prayed fervently “for America, for Congress, for the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and especially for the town of Boston,” and who can realize the emotion with which they turned imploringly to Heaven for Divine interposition and—“It was enough” said Mr. Adams, “to melt a heart of stone. I saw the tears gush in to the eyes of the old, grave, Pacific Quakers of Philadelphia.”

Are You on The New America’s Hate List? (You probably are-Check and see)


 Written on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 by

You are on the current Hate List if you are:

White Male

Prolife

Heterosexual

Christian

Chick-fil-A customer (New on the list)

Patriot

Conservative

Tea Party Member (God forbid!)

Republican

Love the founding fathers

Believe in free enterprise

Believe in guns

Believe in freedom of speech (non liberal, of course)

(If you said yes to any of the above, you are in danger of being singled out as an enemy of modern American society. You are at risk. If you checked two or more update your passport. If you checked three or more you don’t want to know)

This is a new America. It is not the country I was born in. It is not the country it was four years ago. Almost none of the currently accepted principles of life, mores, or ethics, are the ones that built the country. This is tragic.

 This once great nation that had its roots firmly embedded in a biblical worldview is now rejecting the same at all levels. In order to enjoy the full benefits and respect of being an American, people must now, not tolerate, but embrace evil. They must openly accept homosexuality, abortion, pornography, and blasphemy. It’s “un-American” to do otherwise. You will suffer in some form if you don’t raise your PC quotient. From God’s point of view to succumb to this cultural pressure is sin[i].

Not only does our society think we should embrace the bad (pronounced “evil”) things, we must also not verbalize support for anything traditional. This includes marriage between a man and a woman, heterosexual lifestyle, not killing our babies, and holding off on sex until married (Now that’s a prehistoric idea).

It’s pretty scary to think that Dan Cathy, COO of Chick-fil-A fell under vicious attack simply because he believes the Bible and God’s definition of marriage. He basically stated that he feared for America, that we deserved God’s judgment, and that he supported traditional marriage.

This apparently is a crime against humanity according to many. Mr. Cathy’s sentiments were enough to start a war of the words and the worldviews. We are still engaged over the furor that these remarks brought out from the far left. It also launched an overwhelming response from the right, especially Christians.

The Chick-fil-a battle may turn out to be one of those “shots heard around the world.” It is already leading to other battle lines being drawn and the intensification of the rhetoric. It is unbelievable that mayors of some major cities, like San Francisco, would condemn a private company because its COO holds traditional beliefs.

Wednesday, August 1st was Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. Governor Mike Huckabee had proposed a special day to support Chick-fil-A and it quickly mushroomed into a national effort. Over 200,000 had signed the pledge on Facebook to participate on the 1st. The number of people who signed on was quite large in spite of the fact that the signup page mysteriously disappeared for twelve hours. Then, suddenly, “Poof” it reappeared.

When August 1st arrived the nation wide support of Chick-fil-A was no less than incredible. Preliminary reports are that the company broke all sales records that day. Here in Ellijay, Georgia, where I live, the cars were lined up around the block and you could barely get in the door. This continued all day. It is noteworthy that some other fast food franchises, such as some of the individually owned Wendy’s, joined in support of Chick-fil-A at least until corporate told them to stop.

Dan Cathy has stirred the pot even though I don’t think that was on his mind at all when he made his comments. People on all sides of the issues are now heavily engaged in this war of the worldviews and this is a good thing. At least people are getting involved, but it can explode into violence or chaos. This would not be good for anyone.

We, I truly believe, are in danger of God’s judgment. Why shouldn’t He judge us? As a culture can we really claim that we are good?  Do we honor Him or His Word? No.

I agree with Dan Cathy when he said, “…that we are a prideful and arrogant nation for having the audacity to think we can redefine marriage from something other than that between a man and a woman, and may God have mercy on us all.

[i] Sin, n. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. 1. The voluntary departure of a moral agent from a known rule of rectitude or duty, prescribed by God; any voluntary transgression of the divine law, or violation of a divine command; a wicked act; iniquity. Sin is either a positive act in which a known divine law is violated, or it is the voluntary neglect to obey a positive divine command, or a rule of duty clearly implied in such command. Sin comprehends not action only, but neglect of known duty, all evil thoughts purposes, words and desires, whatever is contrary to God’s commands or law. 1 John 3. Matt. 15. James 4. Sinner neither enjoy the pleasures of nor the peace of piety. Among divines, sin is original or actual. Actual sin, above defined, is the act of a moral agent in violating a known rule of duty. Original sin, as generally understood, is native depravity of heart to the divine will, that corruption of nature of deterioration of the moral character of man, which is supposed to be the effect of Adam’s apostasy; and which manifests itself in moral agents by positive act of disobedience to the divine will, or by the voluntary neglect to comply with the express commands of God, which require that we should love God with all the heart and soul and strength and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves. This native depravity or alienation of affections from God and his law, is supposed to be what the apostle calls the carnal mind or mindedness, which is enmity against God, and is therefore denominated sin or sinfulness. Unpardonable sin, or blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is supposed to be a malicious and obstinate rejection of Christ and the gospel plan of salvation, or a contemptuous resistance made to the influences and convictions of the Holy Spirit. Matt.12.

A Look Inside the Minds of the Left


I am perplexed with the mixture of the news today. The Left claiming they didn’t say what we heard them say, but actually what they said is not what they meant. Unfortunately, that has been the standard operating procedure for many years. They say something, get the feedback and then claim they are misquoted, misunderstood (because we are not bright enough to understand them) or taken out of context. Then they over talk anyone who tries to interview them about what they said, refusing to answer any direct questions. Of course, the Left has been interviewing that way all along, except on CNN and MSNBC.

What kind of thinking, and what kind of mindset, makes a group of people like the Left deliberately, with detailed planning, demonize anyone who disagrees with them? What goes on in a mind that would demonize a woman who uses a horse therapeutically treating the MS she is suffering to keep it under control? How dark are the recesses of the thinking are those that never own up to the things they say, especially when they use their distorted lies to hurt and destroy people who oppose them? How can any thinking person associate themselves with a group of people who claim to be the party of tolerance, when they are so intolerant of anyone who does not walk in lockstep with their ideology?

Have you noticed how the Left has surrounded itself with the minority groups of people who they have determined needs their helping hands? Groups like the Homosexual Lobby, Abortion Advocates, Anti-Death Penalty Lobby, the Poor Lobby and the Illegal Alien Lobby. They complain about the lobbyist of the Right, when they have far more lobbyist with self-appointed “Pot Stirring” leaders/antagonist. Each is marched out when they want to use them to beat the Right over the head with phony guilt, and then put them away for another day.

  • The Homosexual Community. Here is a group of people who have made deliberate life choices that are not harmonious with the rest of society. The Left works hard to force all of us to accept their choices, and accept their lifestyle, even to the point of normalizing their lifestyle.
  • The Poor. The Poor are still the Poor. There are just more of them. The Poor have risen generations of Poor thinking children with the mindset that they are OWED the dole they collect. They hate anyone who has earned their wealth, and have been brained washed that those that have,owe what they have to give to the have-nots.
  • Illegal Aliens. Five to six generations of people from all over the world have come here illegally under the encouragement of the Left. However, the only real reason they seem to care is that these illegals tend to vote illegally Democrat. Now the Left wants us to give them even more than what they have already taken illegally. What part of “illegal” does the Left not understand?

All I’m left with is more questions. They are a people who abuse and misuse the truth, calculates attacks on people designed to demonize them instead of just disagreeing with them. They deliberately, with great calculated planning, lie about anything, disavow anything they said, when it is determined not elevate them. They refuse to answer any question directly by an interviewer and will over-talk everyone to make sure their “talking-points” are broadcasted. This is an unscrupulous people with no conscious, no regrets, no honor and no regard for any other way of thought.

Does that sound familiar? How about the U.S.S.R., and any other like thinking governments?

THE MASK HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA


All the commentaries, all the pundit debates and all the “talking-Heads” spin has finally been unmasked to reveal the Left for what they are; Extreme Leftist Collectivist Socialist.

What we have said for a long time now has been exposed when President Obama went “off monitor”. Using his best “Black-Gospel-Preacher” style, while being stirred on by his audience of screaming followers, he didn’t stick to the script, spoke from the heart, and said;

  • Not anyone who started and developed a business did so without the aid of the government in one form or another.
    • In reality, no politicians would have the position they have without the people they are supposed to serve elect them to office. “How about giving back to the ones that put you there?”That aid came in the form of streets, highways, rail and other transportation/shipping avenues.
  • The business you invested time (many times sleepless nights and 40 plus hours a week), effort and your own money to build could not have happened without the government.
  • Because the government and the collective population of taxpayers provided all this so you could build your business, you need to give the collective more of your earnings and profits.
    • So does God. He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. Yet they are trying their best to exclude Him from society, drive Him out of all national discussions and revoke His will established in the creation of The United States of America.
  • In summary, “We the Leftist government, ruling over the collective, will take from you whatever we believe fair to give more ‘gimmies’ to the people who won’t work. As a result, we will have a permanent voting block greater than those who are working because we will have over 50% of the collective dependent on the government. Therefore, we will always stay in power and all other political parties can cease to exist.”

That is NOT what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they prayerfully created our government and wrote the Constitution;

  • They did not want the government to rule the people, but to be an extension of the citizens wills and desires.
  • They designed a government that SERVED the citizens and not the people serving government.
  • They designed the government to have as little effect on the citizens’ lives as possible.
  • They designed a government to provide the protection necessary against attack from foreign enemies.
  • They designed a government to serve the people by aiding them in their lives and commerce by building roads and transportation systems.
  • They designed a nation of laws to punish violence against society, the corrupt and swindlers. This served the citizens by setting up a structure that was comfortable for the pursuit of life, liberty and property.
  • They designed a Representative Republic (NOT a democracy) so the citizens could send to Washington, and their states, those who  would work on their behalf according to the will of those citizens.
  • They restricted the powers of the three parts of the government so that no one could make changes in our government and nation without the citizen’s approval.
  • They created a government the people would own, operate by representatives, and submit to the laws established, and the forces approved, to adjudicate those laws.
  • They designed a government that would NOT take from the people their liberty, freedom and property.

According to the perspective of the “Obama Gang”, the original intent and design of the government does not matter. They want to recreate the United States of America in their Collective Socialist mindsets and the hell with freedom they do not approve. Listening to them as they try to explain their positions tells you how stupid and incapable THEY THINK the citizens of the United States of America are. They are convinced they are smarter that everyone outside of their Collective and therefore, can do what they want, lie to you about their actions, and force you to obey.

Their demonic hunger for power has corrupted every aspect of the Left. If they continue to win every election, they will have the insurmountable control of all aspects of government and the supporting organizations as well. They will have taken over the nation without firing a shot, redesign the government that has nothing to do with the original Constitution, and we will have a Socialist pretend democracy like Western Europe.

Everyone I listen to agrees that this election is the most important of our nation’s history. We must continue to unmask the Left and let everyone see how horrible The Left  really is. I do not know that it will take another revolution. I do wonder how many patriots we do have that are willing to give their lives to regain the freedom our Founding Fathers fought to give us, in the event we do need to fight another revolution?

“What Did You Say President Obama?”


Have you noticed the arrogance meter has reached it’s critical mass and the Left is actually speaking so truth as “arrogance pot” overflows. Yesterday, President Obama said, complete with video coverage, what he considered a failing in his first term of office. The economy, unemployment and record spending were not at the top of the list. His confession was that he was not a better story-teller to the American people. “STORY-TELLER?” Along with his conviction that he is the Messiah, King and smartest man on the planet, he now thinks he can talk away the many failings of His Presidency by telling better stories.

His “Talking-Points Choir” has been out today claiming he was referring the President not explaining his programs better and how he believes they will benefit the American people. This is a running theme of the Left saying that we are not smart enough to understand the proposals and just have to wait until we see how it benefits us after it is in law, and affecting our lives.

Either they are convinced that we are the most ignorant people in the world, or as I said, the “arrogance-pot” has overflowed.

In 2008, Candidate Obama exclaimed that when your opponent has no plan or answers of their own, they resort to making you seem to be someone to run away from, instead of explaining why you should run to them. Now they are accusing Mitt Romney of being a felon with Bain Capital, cheating and doing something criminal because of off shore bank accounts (notice the man who advertised the advantages of off shore banking to his customers while he was the head of a major bank, is now advising the President). Once again the Left has pulled out it’s well used play book of making accusations without ever being able to prove the accusations. (See Ann Coulter’s latest column on “Fast and Furious is not a D.C. law firm” http://www.humanevents.com/author/ann-coulter/ )

Once again, I will say that we have to use whatever means available to us to make the Left prove their “claims, accusations or surveys quoted”. Until their feet are held to the fire, they will continue to go along deliberately lying to the American people, and in almost half of the nation, get away with their felonious conduct.

Say It Long Enough


I am among a growing number of people who are getting real tired of the Left spewing lies as the quote their daily required talking-points. No matter what the question, the Lefty Puppet will say what they are programmed. Of course the answer has nothing to do with the subject at hand, the question being asked or any form of sense. The Talking Points have to be repeated ad nauseam, no matter what.

Case in point: SCOTUS (Chief Justice Roberts) pulls the mask off the monster and identifies Obama-Care as a tax. That day, the Left ran around all the talk shows celebrating that SCOTUS found the Affordable Health Care Act constitutional, when in fact SCOTUS did not. However, the next day, and up to this point, they determined that all the American people, not just their mind numbed robots, forgot at the tax celebration, and now insist it is a penalty for not buying health insurance. No matter who is asking any questions about the ruling, the answers are the same canned pomposity. When challenged, they over talk the interviewer and continue their diatribe.

Next point: The new focus for the Left is Mitt Romney’s finances. The running theme is, “He is an evil rich guy who does not understand you, care for you and will take everything you have and give it to his buddies.” Of course they side step any discussion of Senator Kerry, Kennedy and other super rich Democrats such as George Soros. You also notice there is never mentioning how the Democrats never want to talk about how they vote themselves exclusions to any tax law they pass? Yes, the Republicans are just as guilty of the exclusions.

The hypocrisy is rampant in Washington. Right or left. We need to get back to the real issues; the economy, jobs, close our borders and repeal Obama-care. Mitt Romney needs to get busy focusing in on how he proposes to fix things, dictate the national conversation around that, and forget all this mud-slinging.

PROOF OF IGNORANCE DEBATE


The rhetoric of the Left during the President Reagan years is back. Today the Left fills the news airwaves with new, “Talking Points”. During the Reaganomics years, the primary talking points of the Left used the term, “trickle down economics.” Of course, the Left was wrong, because Reaganomics gave us great economic growth and stability through the President Clinton years. Now, the new slogans used include the terms, “No more trickledown economics, but Middle Out economics.” This is supposed to refer to economics that originate with the middle class and moving out into the marketplace benefiting everyone.

You really do not need an economic degree to see that does not work. The Left whines about billionaires and millionaires getting the tax breaks from what conservatives propose. What they fail to mention, is that the group of people conservatives want to protect and empower are the Small Business people, and the Self-Employed. These two groups of business people are responsible for a large majority of the business world in America. These are also the group affected the most with tax increases, regulations, and OBAMACARE. The Top 1% of income earners has the least amount of effect on the economy, and yet pays a large sum of the taxes collected every year.

The Left’s professional pundits and “Pot Stirrers” want their voting base to concentrate on anyone that generates wealth. According to them, such people are evil and want to keep the poor oppressed. However, their argument fails with the Independents who are the swing vote. They know that such an argument is ridicules and not worth a second thought. That begs the question, why do they keep up the same old attack, arguments and talking points? I believe they only want to “Stir the Pot” of their voter base hoping they will be motivated to get out and vote on Election Day.

The reality of the Free Market Economy is simple. Let the market drive itself, get out the way with overt regulations, and allow the market to correct itself and weed out the greedy, the Swindler, and the fraud. More people are hired, creating more taxpayers, producing more revenue into the Federal and State coffers. That enables American business to do what they do best, and the economy takes care of itself. Creating government jobs and “stimulating” the economy has never had long-term effects.

The Left has a serious problem ever admitting they are wrong and have made bad decisions. They have equally hard time admitting that any of their plans have failed and caused great national harm. For example; The Left will never admit that their strangle hold on American business has been the reason American business, especially manufacturing, has been moved to other countries. Any of these business people will tell you that staying here would have meant bankruptcy and the business closure. It is not because of greed, it is because of survival. In reality, the Left is directly responsible for driving American jobs away and into the economies of other countries. Remember the definition of insanity?

The faster we get these socialist loving people out of our government the sooner our country can recover, if it’s not too late.

ONE MORE TIME, WE ONLY LOOK THIS WAY


“Once again Mr. Holder, we only look this stupid. Turning over a single piece of paper summarizing the 14,000 documents in connection to the Fast and Furious investigation you are withholding is NOT actually complying with the subpoena. Please refer to President Obama’s words he spoke as a Senator with regard another investigation in 2007.”

“Mr. Carney, stop insulting the intelligence of the majority of the America people. No, the DOJ did NOT turn over 7,000 plus documents to the Congress. They turned over SUMMARIES.”

“Mr. Carney, turning documents over to an investigator is NOT the same as turning them over to Congress. Plus, the smirk on your face when you speak is a “neon-sign” that you are not telling the whole truth.”

I am fed up with all this game playing. I am tired of the Left blaming the Right for the exact same conduct the Left has done all their existence. Gone are the days of Statesmen (generic in origin and meaning for those Political Correct readers) who really worked hard at finding compromise so a bill could get passed. Today, the Left’s definition of compromise, reaching across the aisle or finding a concession, is to agree 100% with everything the Left says, wants and puts in writing. Anything else they label as playing politics, “the party of ‘NO’” or failing to cooperating with the President. Of course, when the Left acts like that they accuse the Right of being mean and call conservatives “haters.”

Are there enough independent thinking Americans left that can see through all this garbage and get off their apathy, vote their conscious and get these Socialist thinking people out of power?

This Is Why There Are No Jobs in America


The following story is a great use of the absurd to make a point.

This Is Why There Are No Jobs in America
By Porter Stansberry

I’d like to make you a business offer.

Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can’t turn me down, as you’ll come to understand in a moment…

Here’s the deal. You’re going to start a business or expand the one you’ve got now. It doesn’t really matter what you do or what you’re going to do. I’ll partner with you no matter what business you’re in – as long as it’s legal.

But I can’t give you any capital – you have to come up with that on your own. I won’t give you any labor – that’s definitely up to you. What I will do, however, is demand you follow all sorts of rules about what products and services you can offer, how much (and how often) you pay your employees, and where and when you’re allowed to operate your business. That’s my role in the affair – to tell you what to do.

Now in return for my rules, I’m going to take roughly half of whatever you make in the business each year. Half seems fair, doesn’t it? I think so. Of course, that’s half of your profits.

You’re also going to have to pay me about 12% of whatever you decide to pay your employees because you’ve got to cover my expenses for promulgating all of the rules about who you can employ, when, where, and how. Come on, you’re my partner. It’s only “fair.”

Now… after you’ve put your hard-earned savings at risk to start this business, and after you’ve worked hard at it for a few decades (paying me my 50% or a bit more along the way each year), you might decide you’d like to cash out – to finally live the good life.

Whether or not this is “fair” – some people never can afford to retire – is a different argument. As your partner, I’m happy for you to sell whenever you’d like… because our agreement says, if you sell, you have to pay me an additional 20% of whatever the capitalized value of the business is at that time.

I know… I know… you put up all the original capital. You took all the risks. You put in all of the labor. That’s all true. But I’ve done my part, too. I’ve collected 50% of the profits each year. And I’ve always come up with more rules for you to follow each year. Therefore, I deserve another, final 20% slice of the business.

Oh… and one more thing…

Even after you’ve sold the business and paid all of my fees… I’d recommend buying lots of life insurance. You see, even after you’ve been retired for years, when you die, you’ll have to pay me 50% of whatever your estate is worth.

After all, I’ve got lots of partners and not all of them are as successful as you and your family. We don’t think it’s “fair” for your kids to have such a big advantage. But if you buy enough life insurance, you can finance this expense for your children.

All in all, if you’re a very successful entrepreneur… if you’re one of the rare, lucky, and hard-working people who can create a new company, employ lots of people, and satisfy the public… you’ll end up paying me more than 75% of your income over your life. Thanks so much.

I’m sure you’ll think my offer is reasonable and happily partner with me… but it doesn’t really matter how you feel about it because if you ever try to stiff me – or cheat me on any of my fees or rules – I’ll break down your door in the middle of the night, threaten you and your family with heavy, automatic weapons, and throw you in jail.

That’s how civil society is supposed to work, right? This is Amerika, isn’t it?

That’s the offer Amerika gives its entrepreneurs. And the idiots in Washington wonder why there are no new jobs…

FORGOTTEN GOD


Jeremiah 2:11 NIV; “Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols.”

The answer to that question is a resounding, YES!” America long ago exchanged God, Who created this land for Himself, the freedom for His people to worship, and the spreading of the Gospel around the World, beginning with the Native American Indians. Once the founders passed away, the commitment to God, His Word and His Will, began to die as well.

Today we find a nation in utter chaos, financial ruin, political upheaval and a divided people. The forces determined to drive God completely out of the culture is gaining strength every year. Churches have become more social oriented than little no recognition of the urgency to have a Godly World View. Compromise has taken the place of commitment, having a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ is almost unheard of. The Prayer Alters in churches have given way for attendees to “dance in the Spirit”. Gone are the days of spending hours at the Prayer Alters in utter humility and repentance, seeking God until we have “prayed through.”

Children know more about famous secular people than they do about what God has to say about how to live a Godly, righteous life that is pleasing to Him. Based on real interviews of over 10,000 teenagers across America, all who claim to being a Christian, that they enjoy “anything-goes-sex”, alcohol, smoking and getting high. They actually believe they can have all they want of the World, and Jesus too.

Looking at the adults and it is easy to see where they get such ideas. Most who claim to be Christian, rarely, if ever, tithe, give to church needs, or witness to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Most have cable systems with all the movie channels playing all the filth offered for anyone desiring to consume. The children see the family “pocket book” come alive for “things” and vacations, but no Stewardship to honor God and His Kingdom.

Instead of being “salt and light”, the church has become so much like the world, it’s hard to see the difference. We live in a Society that has great interest in what anyone in the entertainment industry has to say about issues of the day, politics or religion. Ministers are mocked openly in television and movies, and in many shows, they are depicted as the villains. Righteousness and Holiness are made to look extreme and out of touch with the rest of the world, and being a Christian produces mistrust in most of society.

This is a sad commentary of America 2012. It is stated in 1 Peter 4:17-18; 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” NIV

THE RIGHT NEEDS A BACKBONE


When is the Right going to develop some real backbone, face the Left with real facts about our nation and economy, and do so with some vigor and conviction? We have only a few genuine Statesmen that have established themselves as Politicians who are not afraid of a confrontation. Some of them are Governor Christie of New Jersey, Senator Rubio of Florida, Governor Perry of Texas and Herman Cain. They represent a small minority of conservative politicians that can be trusted to go to battle over what is right, just and correct. 

However, they too get caught up with the agenda of the Left and do not face the real truth of why our country is such bad shape. For example, I get angry every time I hear someone blame President Bush for the economic mess we have. Here are the facts;

  • According to the Constitution, Congress is responsible for the budget and the spending. It is their decisions that influence the American economy, not the President.
  •  With the loss of the Congress and Senate in 2006 to the Democrats, Pelosi and her gang went to work shoving through their agenda. Yes, President Bush did cave in too much, but it was the actions of the Left that started the downfall of our economy.
  •  The Democrats’ took over all the committees such as Housing (Barney Frank) and the destruction of our economy, especially the Housing Market, began. The LEFT pushed through the relaxing of the qualifications to buy a home. The Left believed that someone barely getting by could take on a home loan on a marketing plan that made the payments cheap in the beginning, but outrageous over time. That is the group of people the Left is concerned about our tax dollars saving. They really don’t care about the family who legitimately entered a contract, lost their jobs because of the mess the Left made in only two years, and had to walk away.
  • Consistent with their normal operating procedure, they blamed President Bush for the problems and anyone who supports conservatism. 

If I could advise conservatives, I would recommend they stay focused on the real culprits’ of the economic mess, stay focused on the solution (in detail) and force the national conversation to be around these points only. Starting with the Romney campaign, let us urge all conservatives to take up this direct confrontation. No more, name calling, and no more “shots”, just focus on the solutions and keep the focus clear on the real contributors of the disaster.

CAN’T BE TRUSTED


More bad news today for the economy today. No matter how the Left tries to spin the news, the facts keep getting in the way. Therefore, they have pulled out their old-faithful weapons of discussion warfare;

  1. Do not let any opposition speak. Drown out any prospective that does not agree with the Left. Over-talk anyone in order to out get all the “talking-Points”.
  2. Blame, Blame, Blame the Right. Make everything that is bad their fault.
  3. Bring up President Bush ’43 as the fall guy for the failing of the economic disasters we are facing now.
  4. Deny everything anyone of the Left has said, claiming they are being misrepresented, or that they “misspoke”. 

Those the Left have sent out to the talk shows are well prepared to push the talking points no matter the question. A great example is what happened on Fox News Sunday. Mike Wallace tried to get a speak writer for President Obama to agree that President Obama needed to appoint a Special Prosecutor in the “fast and Furious” case like President Bush did with the Valerie Plame case. He was out right rude with Mike and refused to answer the question and went right back to his talking points. 

The Left has reached the point that they are going to stand by their rhetoric no matter the facts, no matter the reaction of the electorate and no matter the truth. All they are really doing is proving more and more that they cannot be trusted in anything they say.

MORE GIBBERISH FROM THE LEFT


Today was another example of the Left filling the news with gibberish, this dictating the conversation away from the miserable conditions of the market place and the economy. Here are a few examples;

1.) Now the Food Police wants to ban large tubs of popcorn at the movies. After the craze over the 64 ounce drinks, they thought it important to also control our lives with this restriction. With all the really important issues this country has to correct, they want us to concentrate on tubs of popcorn. What ever happened to self-responsibility? What are we asked to focus on the minors and take away the focus on the major issues facing this country? (Rhetorical question)

2.) This morning on the Meygn Kelley  show a pundit from the Left criticized Mitt Romney for not being specific on his claims that he has plans on how to fix the economy. WHAT DID YOU SAY? How specific was Candidate Obama on the 2008 campaign trail about “Hope and Change”? Has there ever been a campaign filled with more generalities? Has any candidate for President ever been so vague that he left it up to each individual to decide what his campaign rhetoric meant?

3.) Prior to President Obama’s speech in Ohio today, his campaign team released a message saying that the President would not be giving any specifics today on his plans, but would be “boxing” them, meaning, he would be generalist in his speech just like Mitt Romney was accused of being in his speech today in Ohio. “Hey Left, WE ARE NOT THE STUPID IDIOTS YOU MAKE US OUT TO BE!”

4.) It is now obvious that one of the campaign slogans President Obama is going to use this time is, “Everyone deserves a ‘Fair Shot’”. He usually quotes that after he makes a reference of the “rich” (still undefined who these rich people are) getting a tax break from President Bush (no longer running for anything). Still undefined is what he means by “Fair Shot”.

As far as I know, every one drawing breath in the United States has a “fair shot” at success. How you define success is not the subject, unless you are talking to one of the “OCCUPIERS” who measure success as entering the corporate world as a major executive making over $100,000 a year. Anyone starting out with that mindset, as well as many others that are unrealistic, will fail at their efforts. That is not the result of conservatives, or the “rich” making it impossible for someone to elevate their work, or economic status. It is just the way it is and always will be, unless we socialize everything.

However, the Left has made it more difficult for some. They are part of the Underclass the Left created as a guaranteed voting alliance. They consist of the poor, and anyone else receiving assistance from the Federal government (like many illegals that are “on the dole”). Trying to make something of yourself and going to work means, you lose the handout. For most, they would rather do nothing, collect the Welfare, and complain that they do not have more. As Stuart Barney said this morning, we are reaching the point in America where those you are not paying taxes exceed those that do pay taxes (we are at 50% now because of the unemployment crisis). Can you say “Bankruptcy”?

The conservative voice would have been silenced a long time ago, without FOX Cable and radio talk shows, The Left will continue to drown out our voice and work overtime to silence us completely. Please join in the fight to prohibit that from happening.

UNMASKING THE PROFESSIONAL POT STIRRERS


Image

Have you noticed that most all Professional Pot Stirrers* (PPS) are self-appointed? I cannot find any record that a group of people got together and had an election. Yet, with some groups, they have multiple “self-appointed” leaders and most of them have titles like Reverend (Jackson, Sharpton, et. all). Others, like unions, have “Bosses”. Some are elected, but only to serve the needs of the union.

Have you also noticed how the “Reverends” focus their efforts on keeping their “group” locked in the past? They refuse to let any of them focus on the now, or future, unless it is through the prism of past wrongs committed against them. Have you also noticed that they all use the same tactics of using anger and emotionalism as the primary motivators? The higher they can raise the “group’s” emotions, the more they maintain control. What would happen if suddenly the “group were to wake up and realize the way they have been manipulated, and see the damage they have suffered (poor remaining poor, their situation never gets better) because they have focused only on what their “leaders” have preached to them?

Have you ever wondered how the PPS* is paid for what they do? Who pays for their expenses as they travel to the next “story”? Who pays for their expenses as they stay there stirring the pot, condemning people who have not been tried in a court and suggesting violent behavior by their “group”?

Have you also noticed that the PPS* never suffers any accountability for their pot stirring when the “accused” is found to be innocent? Have you also noticed that when a PPS* incites a riot, and there is multi-million dollars in damage, they never suffer prosecution? Have you noticed how they never suffer anything? It is as if they are immune from all responsibility for what they do. Not bad for being “self-appointed”.

“I ONLY LOOK THIS WAY”


Have you reached the point of being tired of political types treating you like you’re stupid? I am hoping you are, and ready to get up off our apathy and start speaking up (but NOT like the ‘Occupiers’).

In the last couple of weeks I find myself screaming at the pundits, their spokesmen, and the professional pot stirrers, “Hey, I only look this way.” (For those of you needing an explanation, “I only look that stupid”, or, “I am not as stupid as I look.”). For example, there is a man running for District Attorney for the City of Los Angeles claiming that electing him will enable the children to have a fair chance. Sound familiar?

Another one is part of a campaign to raise tax dollars to fight cancer. One of the supposed doctors claim that this bill will keep 200,000 children from smoking cigarettes. And on they go making promises that sound very vague, without any detail, after the pattern of candidate Obama in 2008. Make a lot of promises, keep the promises extremely vague letting the electorate to decide in their own minds what you stand for and will carry out. That way when you fail, you just remind them that you did not make those exact promises, change the mantra, and continue campaigning.

Now you understand the primary reason for the title of this blog. I find myself constantly asking, “What did you say?” These politicians have learned that most of the electorate will NOT hold their feet to the fire about their promises. As a result, they have become so bold as to make statements and promises knowing that you won’t be challenged unless you go on O’Reilly.

Will you join me in putting these politicians’ feet to the fire by challenging them when we can? Attend the rallies. Write the letters. Share blogs like this and let us do all we can to educate the electorate around us making this November the most active in history.

New Rasmussen Survey


As I was watching Meygn Kelly this morning on FOX Cable, she reported on a new Rasmussen Survey that was prompted by something President Obama said. According to the President, government has made America great and always has. The survey asked if you agree, or do you feel the Free Market  system has made America great? The entire discussion made my hair hurt.

How about, “THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING AMERICA GREAT?” The government (OF, BY and FOR the PEOPLE) has a long history of getting in the way of greatness. The greedy part of the Free Market system has made America appear ugly to the rest of the world. We’ve remained strong because of the American people, especially those patriots whose work ethic, pride of country, spiritual strength and unwavering stand for the values that produce lawful, “good citizenship” and caring conduct. These are the core of America that is unaffected by politics and the extreme left main stream media. They are not looking for a handout, and in times of disaster are the first to give of what they can, as well as getting in there and helping their neighbors recover. You usually do not see them demonstrating, or “occupy” anything but their jobs, communities, family and church.

Hey Rasmussen. How about asking some different questions;

  • “Is America greater because of governments determination to re-engineer the American People?”
  • “Is America greater because it has supported those who are here illegally not to learn the language or become an active part of the American community with its customs and traditions?”
  • “Is America greater because of multiple presidential organizations doing nothing about our porous Southern Boarder, and their refusal to deport anyone who is here illegally?”
  • “Is America greater because of the political Lefts creation of the dependant Poor Underclass?”
  • “Is America greater since the political Lefts policies have encouraged almost half of the American population to get on some sort of government assistance, disability or Welfare?”
  • “Is America greater today with Trillions of dollars of debt?”

There are so many more, but time won’t allow me to list any more. They have heard from me, how about you?

Carefully Crafted Broadcast


During a review of some news cast, I was reminded of the carefully crafted fabrications issued by the Media Left, especially MSNBC. It was a supposed report on the Zimmerman-Trayvon story. The male news reader, complete with facial expressions, looked in the camera and said that Zimmerman “STALKED TRAYVON”, “HUNTED HIM DOWN” and “EXECUTED HIM”. Those were his exact words and phases. There is only one explanation possible for such irresponsible behavior. This was carefully crafted to “stir the pot” of their core constituents; hard-core leftist looking for an excuse to release their pent-up anger on those they perceive as enemies.

When you listen to any Left Wing person talk, you hear like words that are deliberately used to keep the pot of hatred stirred. There can’t be any other explanation. A stirred pot keeps boiling all the contents of the pot and what was past, perceived as an attack on them or their “rights”, or any disagreement they have with any group that disagrees with them. Think about every time Sharpton, Jackson, or any other like “self-appointed” official for the perceived “oppressed”, takes the microphone before a willing media outfit. They will use words of hate, as well as words designed to “stir the pot.”

I live in Southern California. I was watching as the jury came back with the acquittal in the Rodney King case. Immediately “Black Leaders” rushed to the cameras and microphones. One such woman, who later became a Congresswoman, started shouting, “NO JUSTICE NO PEACE”. That so stirred those around her that the riots began right at her feet. No, she was never charged.

Those that have great talent at “stirring the pot” are the ones who always escape any consequences. Like the New Black Panther Party putting out a murder contract on Zimmerman, with no arrest or prosecution. Are they exempt? As the pot continues to get stirred, the hatred continues to grow. Destruction, death and great loss is the only outcome.

Why are we allowing this to continue? Black Christian Church Leaders; why are you not speaking up? Where are the peacemakers?

More Political Listening Guidelines


Just in case you just arrived here from Mars (or other planetary locations), you will need some guidance on how to listen to the political garbage that is on every media type, and will be getting more intense. Of course, I am not writing to those ideologues that represent 40% of both political parties. I’m writing to the 20% free thinking, “No-Koolaid-Drinking”,  human beings that actually think for themselves, and then come to a conclusion to act upon.

Have you noticed people around you trying to have a discussion about anything, and you can’t understand what they are saying because they are talking over one another. Neither actually care what they other is saying, they just want those listening to only hear what they want you to hear. RUDE. You might be thinking, “How did our society ever get this rude?”

Answer?; Listen to any cable political show where pundits are trying to have a discussion. Generally speaking, the person(s) yelling the loudest, trying to drown out their opponents voice, are those that do not want anyone to hear their opponent’s side. Some truth might actually be spoken. Can’t have that. Civil people are those that are secure in their place. They are supported by facts that can be verified. Those that are doing the yelling are usually those that throw out percentages and numbers they can never support, and are never challenged to prove. Maybe someone could invent a button for our television that when pressed would force those speaking to present actual proof, supporting their claims.

Remember, just because someone makes a claim that sounds good, doesn’t mean they are correct. In ancient Middle East was a group of people known as the Berean’s. They where will known for NOT taking anything that someone claimed as fact until they checked it out completely. That is what we need to become. Hopefully, we can start dwindling the two ideology sides, a little at a time, to start doing the same thing.

Imaging. A Society that actually makes its politicians prove what they say.

COMPROMISE?!?!?!?!?!


Throughout he last 40 years we’ve heard that word a lot in Political America. Usually its used against another Political Party accusing them of being unrelenting in their ideological position making the passing of certain laws impossible.  After some investigation, and giving the opposition Political Party a chance to explain their position, the usual result is that the complaining Political Parties idea of compromise is a total and complete submission to their ideas and ideology.

So what does “compromise” mean? According to Wikipedia, “To compromise is to make a deal between different parties where each party gives up part of their demand. In arguments, compromise is a concept of finding agreement through communication, through a mutual acceptance of terms—often involving variations from an original goal or desire. Extremism is often considered as antonym to compromise, which, depending on context, may be associated with concepts of balance, tolerance. In the negative connotation, compromise may be referred to as capitulation, referring to a “surrender” of objectives, principles, or material, in the process of negotiating an agreement. In human relationships “compromise” is frequently said to be an agreement that no party is happy with, this is because the parties involved often feel that they either gave away too much or that they received too little.”

Years ago when I was in Corporate America, I learned a very valuable lesson about this subject. I cannot recall the man’s name I learned this from, so as to give appropriate recognition. He was a pastor and a member of the Pastoral Association in the city where he served. Other than getting together for lunch once a month, very little else was accomplished, even prayer together was hard. Dealing with pastors from other denominations and their theologies produced a conflict of agreement. As long as that was the situation, nothing could get accomplished for the Kingdom of God in their community. Finding compromise was as difficult as the definition stated above.

After much prayer he came up with an answer which he later shared in a management course I was taking. The answer?; Using a flip chart, he began asking the group to come up with the areas they had in common belief. Here is a list of what they agreed on in order;

  1. The Word of God is absolute and we are to pattern our lives after its teaching.
  2. Jesus is the Son of God born of a virgin.
  3. Jesus lived His life as an example of Godly living.
  4. Jesus had to die for the sins of the world in order to bring Mankind back to God.
  5. Jesus rose on the third day and is sitting at the right hand of God making intercession for His church.
  6. Jesus is coming again very soon to take His church to heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
  7. Jesus will return to Judge the Earth, with His church, for a thousands years. He will bind up Satan for those thousand years.
  8. At the end of a thousand years Satan will be released and the Battle of Armageddon will take place. Victorious, Jesus and His church will live eternally in the New Earth and Heaven, while Satan and his followers will be cast into Hell for eternity.

After starting this exercise, they all began to see how much they had in common, how much they were alike, and how much they shared in reaching the lost or the Lord Jesus Christ. They also discovered that they were not in competition with each other, yet didn’t know how to proceed from there. There remained another obstacle, dealing with some of the inflated egos in the group.

With that agreement established, and possessing a plan on dealing with the egos (which was the bases for the management training) forming a plan of action was not difficult.  Finding a common ground and humbling ourselves to the task at hand (and caring not for who will get the recognition), positive progress can be made.

There is an old adage, “Whatever you compromise to get, you will eventually loose.” We have all experienced that in our lives. We compromise our values and eventually we regret ever trusting the people we compromised with. Sometimes that compromise is used against us as a time when we were inconsistent with our testimony and then we are labeled a “Hypocrite”, or worse.

A great example is the historical record of the three Hebrew Children that refused to compromise and they did not burn. The Book of Daniel, the third chapter contains their story. After being taken captive and taken to Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were made to serve in the Court of King Nebuchadnezzar.

One day, King Nebuchadnezzar had a statue created in His image to be worshipped by all the people. He made a decree; when you hear the music playing, bow down and worship the image, and if you do not, you will be cast into the furnace. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship anything other than God Himself.

Accusers brought them to King Nebuchadnezzar to have them executed in the furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar gave them another chance to worship. Their response? Daniel 3:16-27; “16 ………….. “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.’

‘19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisors “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

They replied, “Certainly, O king.”

25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.” (NIV)

THEY DID NOT COMPROMISE AND THEY DID NOT BURN. You notice their primary stand was, “Even if rescue was not part of our covenenat with God, we STILL WILL NOT BOW DOWN OR SERVE YOUR GODS”. We need to find men and women who will take that stand in Washington D.C. Men and woman who can establish common ground in Washington, take that “common ground” and fix our national government. In that process, we MUST get rid of al the “Self-Enlarged” egos, and return the government to the people. While we are at it, we need to drive “Socialism” as far from our shores as possible, and those that lie, steal and connive in a determination to reform America into a European type Socialist State.

No it won’t be simple or easy, however, I believe with God’s help and guidance it can be done. Want to join me?

Excusses, Excusses. How About Some Real Honesty


You know when your really fed up with the politician rhetoric when candidates like Ron Paul and Herman Cain look real good. We’ve become so starved for someone honest enough to answer a question directly without going of on their own “speaking-points”. Just when you think you’ve found that person (Michelle are you listening), there they go off on their on tangent ignoring the question.

Jesus made a great point when He is quoted as saying in John 3 that men love darkness more than light because the light exposes their corruption and they’d rather die there than ever admit that they were wrong about anything. The problem has become, that they are dragging America in with the while those that are supposed to be the Light allow it to progress. I’m ready to declare a stop to such destruction. Enough is enough.

I suggest the following;

  1. Right or left, anyone who refuses to answer a question directly cannot be allowed to serve in any political office. You’re dishonest now, you’ll always be dishonest.

  2. Let’s vote GOD’S WILL every election from here on. That will require hours of prayer and fasting, making sure we understand what each candidate actually stands for, and has said, weed out all the rhetoric and listen to the Holy Spirit as we get out and vote.

  3. Each of us must be responsible for vetting each candidate. That will require a lot of research, prayer and fasting and a determination

  4. No voting can take place until each of us has prayed through to God’s answers. No excuses accepted.

  5. If at all possible, let’s send people like us to Washington who are NOT politicians but people who will get the job done, expose the corruption and do what is righteous before God.

I’m sure you can add to the list. I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback.
