Federal judge gets drop on Tombstone

Historic Tombstone, Ariz., long has been known as the “Town Too Tough To Die,” but that was before it encountered the Obama administration, which has refused permission for the town to repair the water system in the nearby Huachuca Mountains from which it has drawn H2O for more than a century.

That means the town is living on only a fraction of the water supplies to which it is accustomed, drawing only from several wells, some of which are poisoned by arsenic, town representatives say.Share on Facebook

Catholic University Drops Student Insurance – Says Costs Will Double Under Obamacare

Back in 2009 and 2010 Barack Obama repeatedly promised Americans,

“If you like your plan, you will be able to keep your plan.”

But after the bill was rammed through Congress and signed into law Barack Obama immediately started to backtrack.

Noam Chomsky: Sarah Palin Was Right About Obama

Probably the last person you’d expect to cite Sarah Palin favorably is Noam Chomsky. Yet in an interview with the Leftist news organization Democracy Now, Chomsky did precisely that, saying Palin was right to mock Obama for his lack of substance.

“I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin,” Chomsky said, “but when she was making fun of this ‘hopey changey stuff,’ she was right, there was nothing there.”

All about me: Obama ‘stealing Reagan’s glory’

Barack Obama has been accused of “vandalizing” the presidential biographies posted on the official White House website by injecting his own personal agenda into the details of what past leaders accomplished.

On the page with Ronald Reagan’s biography, for example, it states: “In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary.”

Cops accused of stealing citizens’ guns

A pair of California cities and the state’s Department of Justice are facing a federal lawsuit today because, plaintiffs claim, the police confiscated firearms during investigations but now refuse to return them – even after the subjects of the inquiries were cleared of any wrongdoing.

The Second Amendment Foundation, which has joined gun owners Douglas Churchill and Peter Lau in the lawsuit, say the cities are engaging in “deliberate theft of personal property.”

Critical Alert REPORT WHAT BIDEN SAID TO THE ISRAELI ARMY:

Dear Fellow Thunderbolt Members

This is one of the reasons this group was formed. We need your help to relay the critical information that was written in the op-ed currently running on Arutz Sheva, Israel National News. It’s called, “Hey, Joe, Say it ain’t so.”

Every day mainstream media and Fox News vet candidates and leaders, speaking about their past. In 2008, Army Radio of Israel quoted Joe Biden saying, “Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” and “sanctions would be futile against Iran.” Once the American Jewish constituency, liberal or not, and the GOP hear this, there’s going to be an uproar, which could initiate a call for action against Iran. Obama and Biden will have lost all credibility. That’s why we have to get this information out.

PLEASE CALL SEAN HANNITY’S SHOW:

Here the phone number for Sean Hannity on his radio show, 1-800-941-7326, 3-6 pm, EST, Monday through Friday. Call daily; there’s no time limit. He just has to air this information. When you call, say, “Sean, Did you know that Joe Biden told Israel, in 2008, when he was running for Vice President with Obama, ‘Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,’ and ‘sanctions would be futile against Iran.’” Sean, since you’re vetting everyone, you are the voice of the Conservative party. Can you also please report this on your late night show.

PLEASE POST THIS TO SEAN if you can’t call:

Here is Sean Hannity’s contact information http://www.hannity.com/contact.

Please write the following to Sean:

Sean did you know that Joe Biden told Israel, in 2008, when he was running for Vice President with Obama, “Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” and “sanctions would be futile against Iran.”

SEAN: HERE IS THE URL THAT REPORTED WHAT BIDEN SAID TO THE ISRAELI ARMY:

Here is the url Sean of the report http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Biden-Israel-Iran-WMD/2008/09/01/id  /325106

PLEASE WRITE YOUR OPINION ON ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS.

We need about 50 comments to bring attention to this gaff. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11646#.T7KLaOj OyNA

Hunters — Interesting slant on things

AMERICA’S HUNTERS — Pretty Amazing!
The world’s largest army… America ‘s hunters!
I had never thought about this…
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .
Allow me to restate that number: Over the last
several months, Wisconsin ‘s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

More men under arms than in Iran .

More than France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin , to hunt with
firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan ‘s 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states.
It’s millions more.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting…
it’s not just a way to fill the freezer.
It’s a matter of national security.

That’s why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.

Have A Great Day!
————————————-
Overall it’s true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don’t possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain…what army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens.

Democratic Party now the Communist Party of America

Democratic Party now the Communist Party of America

David L Lamon

How anyone in their right mind or let me be more specific and clarify; anyone that loves living in a free country and is allowed to become or be whatever they want that could support the Democratic Party is well beyond my comprehension. The typical response from die hard Democratic voters that go to church regularly and live relatively simple lives is my Democrat ain’t no communist and is against gay marriage and abortion. That may very well be but how does he vote in Washington? He follows the leadership’s party line or be thrown out of office and that is the fact of the matter. If he/she doesn’t vote the party line they will never see any legislation make it out of committee.

There are some RINOS that belong to this group as well. This party has turned into a communist party for years and now we learn how bold many of them are about their affiliation with the communist party. Recently over 80 members of the Democratic Party most of which are blacks (all members of the black caucus) were proven to be members of the several nation and international socialist organizations. If you are a black person in this country that covets freedom for yourself and your family this can no doubt give the black community a black-eye for keeping on reelecting these communist.

For the unlearned please look up the words Marxist, Socialist and Communist and compare and contrast what they mean. You will see they are one and the same so from now on call Obama what he and the Democratic Party are “Communist” who are overthrowing the constitution using such as internationally created laws, regulations and/or treaties Agenda 21 among others. The Democrats know full well they must eliminate property rights by individuals in order to succeed at establishing a tyrannical state such as the U.S.

An example would be the leftist liberals demand that no one in America has a right to own property. Amendment 5 of the Constitution says private property can’t be taken for public use without just compensation, and yet (without compensation) we see story after story where the government (unchecked or unregulated agencies run amuck) goes in someone’s backyard and finds a mud puddle and declares it a wetland or finds a plant, that they think might be extinct and seize the people’s property in the so-called interest of preserving natural resources, again without just compensation.

For example: To sum up the liberal’s feelings concerning property rights, Peter Berle (president of National Audubon Society; board member Sierra Club) a well-known (Democrat) liberal leader said, “We liberals reject the idea of private property.” Put that in your pipe and smoke it Democrats! Are you starting to see where your Party has gone?

Now consider this; a government that is anxious to give alms to as many people as possible is even more anxious to commandeer their earnings. Witness, through Federal, State, and local taxes, a man/woman pays 40% or better of their income in taxes. One might ask, “Why have we become a nation of such horrific lawlessness?”

One of the main reasons is when the state becomes the violator of liberty and property rather than its guarantor; it debases respect for all law. People in society develop an increasing disrespect and disregard for what the law demands. They view the law as the agent for immorality in the form of legalized plunder for the benefit of some at the expense of others, and this same disrespect and disregard sooner or later starts to creep into dealings between individuals (trickle-down theory). Society verges on the brink of lawlessness.

Stop and think, when individuals began to ask government to do things for them, rather than merely to secure rights and property, they began asking government to violate others rights and property for their benefit. I understand for the time being we are locked into a system that will take years to unwind but for us to remain a free country these socialist policies that have accrued since the creation of Social Security must come to an end. We have a choice live under tyranny or be free.

The results of all these socialist policies have led to this finding:

Free market capitalism demands that private owners be left alone to use their land as they choose. Only in a Socialist, Communist, or Dictatorship form of government can government arbitrarily take control of the use of private property.

In a study done by Dixie Lee Ray, he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:

From bondage to spiritual faith

From faith to great courage

From courage to liberty

From liberty to abundance

From abundance to complacency

From complacency to selfishness

From selfishness to apathy

From apathy to dependency

And from dependency back again into bondage

Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? A British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship.

“A country which leads the world in homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, divorce, abortion, violent crime, drug usage, alcoholism, and child abuse: a country which embraces its enemies (China through trade) while turning its back on its friends (Taiwan); and a country which turns its back on its spiritual, Christ-centered heritage while believing itself to still be the greatest – is ready for a major fall,” says Don McAlvany. It happened to Rome, Babylon, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and now America is on the verge of allowing it to happen.

With this comes a falling away from God and the result of this is as follows:
Duet: 47-51 “because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young (China). And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.
Jeremiah 51:14 surely I will fill you with men as with locust, and they shall lift up a battle cry against you.
Proverbs 5:10 lest aliens be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger.

We have been taken captive and most Americans still don’t see it! Read the curses listed here in Deut 28:43, 44 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you (China), but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

The citizens of America today take a back seat to illegal aliens and to those David Rockefeller set up (via NAFTA) to take our jobs from us and to finance our debt (China). He said every country should be governed like the Chinese.

Can anyone deny this has been and still is the result? Do we now owe as Tennessee Ernie Ford says our soul to the company store? We are now dependent on a communist country to finance our debt and illegal aliens have heavily infiltrated our country robbing it of valuable resources that include water and land, our monetary entitlements such health care, food stamps, free education, etc.

For crying out loud get a life and pay attention to what is happening to your freedoms. Illegal aliens have more rights than you do and you are citizens that go to work every day and pay your taxes. If you get out of line you pay the piper but an illegal alien comes in violation of our sovereign laws and gets rewarded with all the stuff I mentioned above. This ain’t right and you know it is not so do something about and fire every single incumbent in Washington and yes that means yours as well.

I Am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive’s Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker. That’s me!
I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don’t push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in
American products and buy them whenever I can.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary,
Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don’t work!

I’m in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn’t make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to
Anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and
Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don’t waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I’ve never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven’t burned any witches or been persecuted
By the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don’t like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and
Change your own country!

This is AMERICA …We like it the way it is and more so the way it was …so stop trying to
Change it to look like Russia or China , or some other socialist country!

If you were born here and don’t like it… You are free to move to any Socialist country that will
Have you. I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the Washington D.C., the seat
Of our biggest problems.

I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches,
Where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution?

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you’re breaking the law, regardless of
What color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.

And, no, I don’t mind having my face shown on my driver’s license. I think it’s good….
And I’m proud that ‘God’ is written on my money..

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don’t want you deciding who
Should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me
Into making ‘donations’ to their cause…. Get a job and do your part to support yourself and
Your family!

I believe that it doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents….

I believe ‘illegal’ is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I’m a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know…

We want our country back!

My Country…… I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution
& the War of 1812.
My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War.
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Civil War.
My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War.
My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I.
My father watched as his friends died in WW II.

I watched as my friends died in Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm.
My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Mexican Flag.
Everyone died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole,
other students took it down. Guess who was expelled…the students who took it down. California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo, because they wore
T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every
American needs to stand up for America .

We’ve bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I’m taking a stand.

I’m standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country,
and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know.
I will gladly not forward things of this order.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY !

ACLU wants God edited out of history!

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

5/10/2012

The ACLU is targeting yet another school system and demonstrating that our public schools are among the primary battlefields for anti-religious bigotry.

The protection of our public school students, educators, and administrators from organizations bent on silencing people of faith and rewriting our history has been a significant part of Liberty Counsel’s mission from the beginning. But now, with an increasing sense of urgency, America’s public schools are being manipulatively used to destroy the very communities they serve!

Please see my very important message below – Mat.

Carolyn,

The ACLU is committed to marginalizing America’s religious heritage by attempting to remove any expression of religion from the public square. They routinely attempt to bully public school administrations into rolling over for their radical agenda.

Our recent Giles County, Virginia, case is typical of their pattern of litigation.

As I shared earlier this week, the ACLU of Virginia sued the Giles County School Board to force them to remove a privately-sponsored historical display that includes the Ten Commandments as one of 29 framed documents, all of which played a role in developing our system of law and government.

The original display also contains the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and others – bringing the total number of framed documents to 29.

The ACLU has made it their mission to remove the Ten Commandments from the public high school in the small Appalachian town of Narrows, Virginia. They contend that the Ten Commandments stick out like a “sore thumb” among the framed documents depicting American law and government at Narrows High School.

Liberty Counsel is defending the Giles County School Board.

++Edit the Ten Commandments down to Six?

I knew when I walked into the Roanoke, VA, courtroom on Monday to face off against the ACLU that it was going to be a very challenging day.

During the three hour hearing, the Judge suggested that one way to resolve the ACLU’s case against the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in the public high school’s historical display would be to remove the first four Commandments (the ones that most directly reference God) – leaving only the last six. No ruling will occur on the case until after a mandatory mediation conference.

++“Revisionist history” on a rampage.

Whether the ACLU wants to recognize historical facts or not, the Ten Commandments played a significant role in the development of Western culture and the creation of our system of American law and government.

The Declaration of Independence mentions our “Creator,” and the Magna Carta and the Mayflower Compact both prominently mention “God” and His role in the minds of the men who built our nation’s foundation.

In fact, the vast majority of the founding documents refer to God’s role in inspiring our nation’s laws. One would have to re-write history to post foundational documents void of any mention of God. Even the approved Virginia history curriculum mentions the Ten Commandments and the role of Judeo-Christian thought in the development of American law and government.

Now, on an almost weekly basis, Liberty Counsel is called upon to aggressively defend the rights of students, teachers, administrators, and school systems as anti-religious organizations subvert our Constitution!

++Our “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” belongs in every school in America.

To be proactive in countering this disturbing trend, my Liberty Counsel team developed the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

This invaluable handbook is a resourceful guide based on decades of experience defending the rights of educators, students, administrators, and community members from the attacks of radical activists who want to squash freedom of religious expression in any public setting, including schools.

It is imperative that the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” be in the hands of anyone who is concerned about the direction our public schools are taking!

My goal is to get this Handbook into every one of America’s 100,000 public schools.

Through our earlier initiatives, we are well on our way to accomplishing this monumental task with a little over 40,000 schools already sponsored.

But we need your help to make this vital mission continue to happen.

We can deliver this valuable resource to 10,000 more public schools in New York, Tennessee, Colorado, Oregon, and Rhode Island in the next few weeks for a cost of $1.50 per school.

Can you sponsor 20 schools – or even 100 schools?

Click here to help us reach 10,000 more schools before the start of the 2012-2013 school year with the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

http://www.libertyaction.org/1345/offer.asp

++The crisis is escalating!

Today, millions of students are being told they must leave their faith outside the schoolhouse doors. They are walking into overt socialist indoctrination. Many will be summarily stripped of their civil rights, experience bullying and blatant ridicule, and suffer the censorship of their deeply-held religious convictions.

Right now, this war is being fought all the way down to the elementary level as pro-homosexual activism and anti-religion sentiment rapidly infiltrates our public schools.

For the sake of our children, grandchildren, and the very survival of the nation we love, we need to take proactive steps to stop this unconstitutional public school bullying!

++We must stand against attacks on public school students, teachers, administrators, and school systems!

Our case defending the Giles County Public Schools is just one of many we have undertaken, and there will doubtless be many more in the future.

This type of assault on First Amendment rights is becoming epidemic in America. Such vicious attacks are creating an unprecedented number of cases for Liberty Counsel as we defend persecuted educators and others free of charge.

As I’ve said before, the reality is that we are facing powerful adversaries on the battlefield for liberty. It is necessary that I ask for your help to continue fielding the best possible defense (and offense!) to counter these attacks.

Please consider how many schools you will sponsor to receive the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

We pray that one day this handbook will have a place in every backpack, every book bag, and every brief case that enters the dangerous environment so many of our public schools have become!

By clicking here, you will learn more about sponsoring the delivery of this handbook to one or more of our public schools – or how to obtain copies for yourself, your church, or civic organization:

http://www.libertyaction.org/1345/offer.asp

God Bless You,

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

P.S. The ACLU is once again bullying a public school system – and once again we are in defense of the school system’s right to display this privately sponsored display historical documents which include the Ten Commandments among one of 29 framed documents on law and government.

Please click here to sponsor 20 or more schools to receive the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.” Your help will put us half way toward meeting our goals before summer begins!

Musings on the week ending 5/12/2012

Government – “My political curiosity, exclusive of my anxious solicitude for the public welfare, leads me to ask who authorized them to speak the language of, We, the People, instead of We, the States? States are the characteristics, and the soul of the confederation. If the States be not the agents of this compact, it must be one of great consolidated National Government of the people of all the States.” Patrick Henry.
Politics – Now that Romney has sewed up the nomination, Republicans must agree on a unified, coherent platform: economic plan, jobs plan, budget plan, foreign policy, etc.
Politics – Voter Question: “How did that vote for Obama work out for you? Are you better off today than when Barack Obama was elected? Is he making the economy better or worse?
Labor Force Participation Rate – What change looks like… turning back the clock 30 years:
Politics – Barack Obama’s re-election campaign sputtered off to a start with a quick photo-op speech in Afghanistan followed by a half empty university stadium kickoff rally.
Politics – At this point in the campaign, President Jimmy Carter led Ronald Reagan by 15 points in a head-to-head match-up, and he went on to lose by almost 10 percentage points.
Politics – When history is written on Barack Obama, he will be remembered as a master marketeer, consummate campaigner, and an incompetent national leader out of his depth.
Politics – Occupy Wall Street is not a movement; it is an amalgam of clueless students, backed by professional protestors, and supported by dedicated communists and anarchists.
Media – Democrats and Hollywood have much in common, since they both live in their own world of make believe and reality is optional behind the camera or tele-prompter.
Media – Newspapers continue to hemorrhage readers with only political ads in the 2012 election to save them, but I expect many newspapers will disappear after the next election.
Politics – I expect that the 2012 Presidential election will be the most racist campaign, with baseless accusations used to distract voter attention from Obama’s record of failure.
Politics – Now that the Republican Party has settled on Mitt Romney, I expect that the TEA Party members will vote for him in November, but leave the Party to become Independents.
Principles – “Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed…so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger.” Patrick Henry.
Economy – When socialism is implemented and found financially unsustainable liberals are surprised that the required financial austerity is painful to repair the long term damage done.
Jobs – Since mid-2010 when the 99 week unemployment insurance expired, disability claims rose by 2.2 million reflecting less stringent screening procedures and more attractive benefits.
Marriage – Obama’s latest distraction from his economic record is support for same sex marriage once campaign bundlers refused to contribute until he went public with support.
Education – Obama’s campaign stops at campuses promises free stuff to buy votes, but does nothing to address the underlying root causes of runaway tuition inflation.
Feminism – Obama’s campaign cartoon chronicle “The Life of Julia” is a perfect description of Democrat’s cradle-to-grave women’s government dependence at every step of her life.
Environment – The Endangered Species Act has been a complete failure providing little additional protection to most listed species since its real goal is to impede development.
Welfare – The federal government started the “lifeline” program to provide phones to low income Americans, but expanding it use to cell phones has become another entitlement.
Debt – I expect that the country’s credit rating will again be downgraded after Congress debt ceiling discussions again fail to find sufficient spending cuts to halt deficit spending.
Deficit – I expect one or more states to declare bankruptcy by 2012 and seek assistance to recover from the bad economic decisions of the past under federal judicial protection.
Housing – I expect that it will take four or more years at the current rate for the backlog of foreclosures to finally clear, before we see any signs of life of a robust housing recovery.
Liberty – “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” Patrick Henry.
Defense – The START arms control treaty is beginning to unravel as Russia reacts to NATO missile defense plans and threatens “pre-emptive use of force” against future installations.
Europe – Elections in Greece, France, and Italy supposedly repudiated budget austerity, when in reality austerity is a myth since most governments enacted large stimulus packages.
Africa – I expect that Obama will create a “crisis” so he can inject American troops into an African country to demonstrate his “military leadership” in this Presidential election year.
Israel – I expect that Israel will be attacked by Hamas again in 2012 and the IDF will retaliate by invading and then annexing Gaza based on the concept of defensible borders.
Israel – I expect that Israel will suffer a nuclear attack from Islamist extremists by 2012, and Obama will stand aside and not help defend this longtime ally.
Asia – I expect that North Korea will attack South Korea and attempt to reunite Korea by the 2012, and Obama will be an unwitting accomplice as he abandons this ally in a time of war.

Hey, Joe, Say it ain’t so!

Hey, Joe, Say it ain’t so!

By Stanley Zir

There are many op-eds written that expose politicians’ duplicitous positions, but they are usually able to side-step the accusation even when they’re caught in the web of their own deceit. But there are times when information is revealed that is so earth-shattering, that they cannot evade the truth, and there’s no place to hide – and this is one of those times.

Last week, Joe Biden stood in front of the cameras with that smug smile and skewed grin and, without batting an eyelash, proceeded to tell us how much he and Obama have Israel’s back – more than any other administration, and what a tremendous relationship they have:

Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 5:00 PM

“ATLANTA (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says he’s frustrated by Jewish critics who say the White House is not committed to the security and preservation of Israel as a Jewish state.

Biden told conservative rabbis meeting in Atlanta that he personally is a Zionist, and believes that “no president since Harry Truman has done more for Israel’s security than Barack Obama.”

Biden also told the international Rabbinical Assembly that sanctions that go into effect this summer to deter Iran from developing nuclear weapons will devastate the Iranian economy.”

We all know that what he said about preserving Israel’s security was far from the truth, but he can keep up this ruse because there’s been nothing substantive to prove otherwise – until now.

Its time to drop the ultimate Biden Bomb on President Obama so there more speculation on whether they intend to bomb Iran.

This is what this great protector and friend of Israel said in 2008, when he was running for office with Obama, so hold on to your seats; we’re in for a ride.

Here’s how much our illustrious vice president supports and loves israel:

Monday, September 1, 2008, 12:28 PM

“Barack Obama’s presidential running-mate Joseph Biden told Israeli officials that they need to accept the idea Iran will acquire nuclear weapons.

Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, visiting Israel several years ago, told Israeli officials diplomacy and sanctions would be futile against Iran.

On Monday Israel’s Army Radio reported details of the comments Biden made when he met with ‘senior Israeli officials behind closed doors.’

Reportedly Biden told the officials he opposed ‘opening an additional military and diplomatic front’ against Iran.

‘Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,’ Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the Israelis.

Army Radio said that at that time Israeli officials were shocked by Biden’s comments.

Within Israel, a consensus across the political spectrum has developed on the Iran matter. Iran’s president Ahmnadinejad has stated that he will wipe Israel off the map, making clear his use weapons (sic) of mass destruction against the Jewish state.

Biden has been an ardent supporter of the state of Israel in the Senate. His Selection by Barack Obama was seen as an effort to shore up support with the U.S. Jewish community.

Obama has given mixed signals on the Iran threat. During the Democratic primary he argued for direct negotiations with Iran. He has avoided making any suggestion the U.S. should take military action against Iran.

Last Monday Obama said he would continue to use diplomatic means to stop Iran’s nuclear program.”

Hey, Joe, Would you be willing to appear on Sean Hannity’s late-night show and say “it ain’t so?”

Thank You,
Stanley Zir

Views on the News – 5/12/2012

There is a glaring disconnect between the conventional wisdom, which still maintains that Obama has a slight edge in the electoral-map math, and the fundamentals pointing to the probability of a decisive defeat for the President. This Presidential election is coming down to two immutable facts that have become increasingly clear as November draws closer: President Obama will be running for a second term under a stagnant economy, and his two most significant legislative accomplishments, health care reform and a job-goosing stimulus, remain deeply unpopular. It doesn’t take a professional pundit to recognize that’s a very tough ticket for reelection. Obama’s scores on the economy are worsening, even as voters still have mixed feelings on who’s to blame. The Battleground survey found Republicans leading Democrats by 2 points on the generic Congressional ballot. The other red flag for the President is the waning enthusiasm of his base—college-age voters, African-Americans, and Hispanics. The most recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed that fewer than half of voters (45%) ages 18-34 expressed a high interest in the election, down 17 points from the same time four years ago. Democrat enthusiasm overall is down 16 points from 2008, and it now lags behind the GOP. This is critical, because, for Obama, excitement is as important as persuasion. Actions speak louder than spin, and the moves of Obama’s campaign officials indicate they are awfully worried about their prospects. The most recent telltale sign is that they went up with an early, expensive $25 million ad buy in nine swing states, attempting to reintroduce the President in the best possible way. Obama’s campaign officials can’t utilize the time-tested “are you better than you were four years ago” message because it doesn’t ring true, so they have to argue things are getting a little better and the administration needs more time. It shows how limited the Obama playbook is this time around: mobilize the base, lambaste the opposition, and hope enough independents will hold their nose and vote for him. It’s hard to believe that Obama’s campaign is confident of victory and more likely, campaign officials are putting on an awfully good game face in light of what promises to be a very challenging reelection and a real possibility that the incumbent President and his Party will be swept from office in November.
(“Obama, the Underdog” by Josh Kraushaar dated May 8, 2012 published by National Journal at http://nationaljournal.com/columns/against-the-grain/obama-the-underdo g-20120508 )

In 2008, young voters were inspired by Barack Obama and helped elect him President, but Obama’s failure to live up to his promise (and his promises) has led to widespread disillusionment not only among the young, but with voters of all ages who were captivated by him four years ago. Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney now has the opportunity to claim the mantle of idealism that Obama has fumbled, and in so doing, Romney could capture a significant and potentially decisive share of the voters who handed Obama the Presidency last time out. Obama’s supposed idealism has been unmasked for its hollowness, shallowness and callowness. We were promised post-partisanship but have been subjected to hyper-partisanship instead. There are few groups that have been hurt more by the President’s policies than the idealistic young people who so fervently supported him. It is the young, after all, who will be used as the piggy bank to fund ObamaCare if it survives, and who will be burdened by the unconscionable levels of debt that this administration has run up. More than half of college graduates under 25 are now unemployed or underemployed; it is likely that many are losing the “hope” that drove them to the polls in 2008. It is now incumbent upon Romney to offer a hopeful, youthful, idealistic and optimistic vision of conservatism. It would be an effective way to expose and counter the cynicism masquerading as idealism that has been churning out of the Obama campaign machine. Conservatism can offer a home for the frustrated idealism of liberals who ultimately discover the logical contradictions of their beliefs. I’ve noticed that conservatives are more focused on what they’re for and liberals are more focused on who they’re for. A person is likely to define himself as a conservative, for example, because he stands for the free market, liberty, limited government and strong national defense. A person is likely to define himself as a liberal, on the other hand, because he’s for the middle class, the poor, working people, women, minorities, etc. That difference in approach explains why it is possible for conservative policies to be the best way to achieve liberal ideals. Liberals typically attack conservative policies on the basis of their supposed impacts on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society. Conservatives should not back down from defending their policies, and attacking liberal policies, on those very terms. Liberal policies are emasculating our private sector and bankrupting our public sector. This is impeding the creation of jobs in struggling communities, and will cripple the ability of government to provide a proper safety net in the future. The people who will be hurt most by Obamanomics are the very people that it is supposedly designed to help, because the rich will be fine in spite of Obamanomics; the poor will not. Romney understands the importance of seizing the mantle of idealism from our faltering President, and not merely running as a highly competent technocrat.
(“A hopeful, youthful, idealistic and optimistic conservatism” by David Cohen dated May 3, 2012 published by Daily Caller at http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/03/a-hopeful-youthful-idealistic-and-op timistic-conservatism/ )

You very seldom hear Obama talk about his record, which is especially noteworthy because like him or hate him, Obama has passed a lot of legislation, but nevertheless Obama is a failed President because his policies haven’t worked. If Obama had actually produced results, the country would look very different today:
· Obama promised to restart the economy with his trillion dollar stimulus spending and lower the unemployment rate, but instead unemployment has remained above 8% for more than 3 years now and the economic recovery remains stalled.
· Obama promised not to leave our children a debt they cannot repay, but instead out-of-control spending has accelerated and the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded.
· Obama spent more than 75 billion dollars to directly address the mortgage crisis, but Obama has accomplished very little of significance to help most homeowners over the long term or to prevent a future housing crisis.
· Obama touts General Motors as a success story, but taxpayers lost 14 billion dollars on the deal while GM received a special 45 billion dollar tax break.
· Obama spent hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to promote the Chevy Volt and said he had a goal of seeing a million electric cars in the U.S. by 2015, but a meager 7,700 Volts were sold last year, before production was halted this year.
· ObamaCare was supposed to reduce the deficit, give almost universal coverage, and everyone was supposed to be able to keep his own health care plan, but instead ObamaCare will add 700 billion dollars to the deficit over its first 10 years, 3-5 million people will lose their health care, and 30 million people still won’t have health coverage.
· Obama attacked Bush for high gas prices and promised alternative fuels as a viable alternative, but instead gasoline has doubled to $3.80 per gallon.
· Mexican criminals are supposed to be in jail today because of Operation Fast and Furious, but instead, the Obama Administration ended up putting guns in the hands of Mexican cartels while Eric Holder tries to cover up their incompetence.
· Obama promised to win in Afghanistan, but instead military advice on the conduct of the war was ignored and the only guarantee was when the U.S. would leave.
· Hillary Clinton tried to “reset” relations with the Russians, but instead Russia is helping Iran build nuclear weapons and threatening pre-emptive attacks.
For the first time in his political career Obama is being held accountable for his actions and the results are abysmal and lag far behind voters expectations.
(“10 Things That Would Be Happening Today If Obama’s Policies Were Working” by John Hawkins dated May 4, 2012 published by Town Hall at http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/05/04/10_things_that_w ould_be_happening_today_if_obamas_policies_were_working )

It is clear that the entire re-elect Obama operation likes its odds of winning a second term based on a strategy to defeat the man, Mitt Romney, rather than run on Obama’s record. The informal slogan is essentially “Be confident, but take nothing for granted.” Despite the dangers of high unemployment and gas prices, Mitt Romney faces four major barriers to winning the big prize.
· First, in the view of the Obamans, Romney is still a weak candidate. The belief is that Barack Obama has a better personality and better marketing. Obama’s team is sitting on a multimedia treasure trove of research and expects to launch powerful missiles at key moments throughout the campaign.
· Second, they maintain, their research suggests Romney has exactly one rhetorical path to victory, as a can-do businessman able to fix what’s broken. The key is to focus on dismantling Romney and prevent the election from becoming a referendum on the President’s economic tenure.
· Third, the Obama team argues, Romney has taken many positions to the right of public opinion. The President’s team plans to throw two years’ worth of provocative statements in Romney’s face, using sophisticated micro-targeting to impacted demographics.
· Fourth and finally, Presidential politics, in the end, is all about the Electoral College. The Obama campaign’s analysis, matching recent media number crunching, indicates that Romney has a paper-thin margin of error to get to the magical 270.
Nevertheless, the Obamans are quite aware of challenges bred by three years of incumbency. Among voters, disappointment has replaced hope; change has been as rare as good economic news. Those job and fuel numbers are especially toxic. Romney has the luxury of an open schedule. Although without the gilded mantle of the Presidency, he can spend every waking hour as a full-time candidate, while the President is required to do his day job. Obama’s team expects one-upmanship and fireworks when their magnetic, fired-up leader hits the road, including some planned spring and summer battleground bus trips, but lately Obama’s magnetism has faded and he no longer draws the crowds like he did in 2008 when he was all promise and no missed expectations.
(“Why the Obama Campaign Is So Confident About Beating Romney” by Mark Halperin dated May 7, 2012 published by Time at http://swampland.time.com/2012/05/07/the-view-from-one-prudential-plaz a-why-the-obama-campaign-is-so-confident/ )

The now-infamous “Cloward-Piven Strategy” outlined by Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in 1966 proposed a clear roadmap to socialism: get so many people addicted to government entitlements that the economic system collapses, and in the resulting chaos the populace will demand and vote for a new economic system in which everyone is supported by the state. Sounds logical (if nefarious), and President Obama seems hell-bent on bringing it to fruition in the United States. The problem for Obama’s inner socialist is that he’s also required for appearance’s sake to attempt a rescue of the American economy using Keynesian principles. This self-cancelling combo-strategy is the underlying cause of our economic stagnation. President Obama is simultaneously trying to rescue the economy using the Keynesian/Democratic model while at the same time also trying to destroy the economy through the Cloward-Piven Strategy. His two mutually contradictory plans cancel each other out, rendering all his efforts self-negating, and this explains why the American economy has stalled. This strategy should be called the Obama-Piven Strategy and is the reason why we remain mired in a deep recession. We are neither recovering, as the Keynesian model predicts, nor is capitalism collapsing, as the revolutionaries hope; the Obama-Piven strategy ensures that we remain in suspended animation between the two extremes. This explains what is happening in Europe. Voters in both France and Greece, two countries ruinously addicted to government entitlements, rejected the “austerity” model of debt-reduction and instead doubled down on unsustainable spending sprees. Exactly as Cloward and Piven had surmised, once you get 50+% of the population hooked on “free” government money, there’s no turning back, they will vote for socialists every time. Once enough voters are on the dole, regardless of your party’s ideology or what label it has, you will win elections if you promise to keep the free money flowing. This was Cloward-Piven’s point, and they turned out to be frighteningly correct. It seems that if they were left to their own devices, both France and Greece are willing to ignore reality and plunge headfirst into a completely unsustainable socialist model. The question is whether Obama’s policies over the last four years have addicted enough people to food stamps and Social Security disability payments and unemployment benefits and so many other entitlement programs that we as a nation will go the route of France and vote for the guy who promises to keep the drugs flowing, regardless of the consequences?
(“Cloward-Piven Strategy Working Perfectly – in Europe” by Zombie dated May 6, 2012 published by PJ Media at http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/05/06/cloward-piven-strategy-working-pe rfectly-in-europe/ )

The political left has no solutions to our most pressing problems: whether the issue is economic growth or runaway entitlement spending or non-performing public schools, left-of-center solutions were tried and found wanting here and abroad during the last century. Further, the only solutions that seem to work today are right-of-center, requiring privatization, individual empowerment and free markets. For Barack Obama the problem is even worse. If the election is about the economy or government regulation of the economy, or whether bigger government or smaller government is the solution to what ails the economy, the President is almost certain to lose. So leftist make up a problem whose only solution appears to be higher taxes and bigger government. That’s where inequality comes in because it’s a way to change the subject. It’s a way to find a scapegoat to blame (explicitly or implicitly) for the problems at hand. It’s a way to distract attention away from the fact that the President is not solving our problems (and even making them worse!) toward people who are not generally loved. It’s also a way to justify a more active role for government. Barack Obama has obviously learned from that experience: High gasoline prices are a political problem, so blame the oil companies; Families are hurting, so blame the rich; and People are not successful finding a job, so blame the most successful 1%. There is nothing new about any of this. The tactic of finding a scapegoat to blame for our problems and using the argument to justify more government power is as old as politics itself. Barack Obama is an expert at political distract and distort, but campaign theatrics will not be enough this election and his re-election is in jeopardy, with the economy continuing to suffer and America ‘s reputation destroyed abroad.
(“The Politics of Envy” by John C. Goodman dated May 5, 2012 published by Town Hall at http://townhall.com/columnists/johncgoodman/2012/05/05/the_politics_of _envy )

The core economic model of the American left is Keynesianism, which is less a viable economic path than it is an unrealistic pipe dream that stirs the collectivist’s blood, much like the notions of world peace and Utopia. Keynesianism is a model based upon how collectivists think the economy should operate, rather than how it actually operates. It is based on a pleasant hypothesis that a central government can stimulate demand and shorten economic downturns for stabilized prosperity, but unfortunately it doesn’t work in practice. The facts surrounding his economic policy are simply not useful for anything but arguing the same policy’s ineffectiveness. Keynesianism always fail when employed wholesale as an economic strategy. Obama’s stimulus was based on this Keynesian economic model, and it allocated expected future taxpayer money to achieve short-term stimulus. The Obama administration posited that future revenue should be used to stimulate consumerism and get employment back to where it should be, but clearly, that hasn’t happened. What has happened, however, is that the federal government share of GDP increased from 19% in 2008 to 24% by 2011, and this administration will have grown the federal budget by 16.5% by the time its first term ends, barring any new stimulus. This significantly increases taxpayer liability, which all but ensures the need for higher taxes. And higher taxes lead to depressed consumer demand, which does not stimulate the growth of capital in a free market, but instead it thwarts it. You may spend less, and you may save more, but spending patterns will be affected. They generally embrace a “zero elasticity view of the world.” They believe that “people will behave after taxes just as they behaved before taxes and the only effect of taxes is more revenue.” In other words, they think we are cogs in a government-run economic machine operated by bureaucratic tinkers working for a greater good, rather than individuals who operate within individual circumstances. That is why collectivists love Keynesianism and hate supply-side economics. Keynesian economics, like socialism, Marxism, and fascism, can work only in the absence of individualism. And this is simply not a realistic expectation unless individualism is forcefully repressed. Rather, human nature dictates that individualism will be expressed in a free society, and along with it will come varying levels of ambition and ability and, ultimately, success. Individualism is reality and it cannot be ignored simply because it is an inconvenient consideration and yet that is precisely what Keynesian economists do and that is precisely why many recognize that Keynesian economists fail.
(“Keynesianism and the Collectivist Dream” by William Sullivan dated May 3, 2012 published by American Thinker at http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/05/keynesianism_and_the_collectivi st_dream.html )

The nation faces an unprecedented tidal wave of tax hikes on January 1, 2013, aptly called “Taxmageddon,” costing nearly $500 billion the tax hike is so massive that accomplishing what many regarded as impossible: consensus that at least most of this tax hike must be prevented. The debate is really only about how much and when. At the same time, there is a growing consensus in favor of tax reform. There is a correct two-step sequencing to prevent all tax hikes now while working on and for tax reform in 2013. On January 1, 2013, among other unfortunate tax consequences:
· Income tax rates shoot up,
· The child credit is cut in half,
· The marriage penalty roars back,
· The capital gains tax rate goes up,
· The dividend tax rate soars,
· The payroll tax rate jumps two percentage points,
· The death tax is restored to its punitive past,
· The Alternative Minimum Tax relief expires, and
· A uniquely pernicious additional payroll tax hike from ObamaCare takes effect.
Collectively, this would by far be the largest tax hike in history. The effects on families and businesses would be devastating; the effects on the economy no less so. Congress can’t wait until after the election to act. Taxpayers deserve more respect from their elected officials than being left in doubt about facing a massive tax hike, and the economy also needs better tax certainty. True tax reform generally involves reducing the tax bias against saving and investment. While preventing “Taxmageddon” is not tax reform, failing to prevent “Taxmageddon” runs directly and substantially counter to fundamental tax reform. Congress should be aware that preventing the massive tax hikes of “Taxmageddon” and advancing tax reform are related but separate issues, and, by virtue of the calendar and electoral context, they should be addressed separately and in the proper order: First up should be preventing “Taxmageddon,” then, Congress should use the ensuing window of time to advance tax reform.
(“The 2012 Tax Policy Two-Step: Taxmageddon, Then Tax Reform” by J.D. Foster dated May 9, 2012 published by The Heritage Foundation at http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2012/05/2012-tax-policy-two-s tep-taxmageddon-then-tax-reform )

The President’s defense strategy creates a hollow force and worsens our readiness crisis because big cuts mean weakening the military’s ability to fulfill its constitutional duty to provide for the common defense. The President’s victory lap in Afghanistan on the anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of the Navy SEALs “an attempt to shore up his national security credentials, because he has spent the past three years gutting our military.” Barack Obama has exhibited a hostility to military preparedness even greater than that of Jimmy Carter, who left successor Ronald Reagan with a legacy of ships that couldn’t sail and planes the couldn’t fly for lack of parts and crew. Obama, who betrayed Poland and Czechoslovakia on missile defense and shut down key weapon systems like the F-22 Raptor, has vowed to veto any changes to the mandated cuts, including $650 billion from defense as called for by the Budget Control Act over the next decade. That cut comes on top of $460 billion in defense cuts already agreed to, a total of $1.1 trillion in defense cuts our commander in chief is OK with:
· Since Obama took office, over 50 major weapons programs of more than $300 billion have been cut or delayed.
· The House Armed Services Committee says the cumulative cuts will result in Army and Marine Corps losing 200,000 troops.
· The Navy will shrink from 300 ships to 238 vessels and would lose two carrier battle groups needed to project American power and influence.
· Strategic bombers will fall from 153 to 101.
· Air Force fighters would drop by more than half, from 3,602 aircraft to 1,512 planes.
These are real cuts, both in spending and in military capability. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned, “Very simply, (further cuts) would result in hollowing out the force,” alluding to reductions made in the aftermath of the Vietnam War that left Army units undermanned and ill-equipped and “It would terribly weaken our ability to respond to the threats in the world” and now we have Barack Hussein Obama, disarmer in chief.

If The Old Media Were Still Relevant

If The Old Media Were Still Relevant

By: J.J. Jackson

With Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, now all but assured the GOP’s nomination for the Presidency, the left has spent no time at all doing what they do best. What they do best is distract. With the nation teetering on the brink of disaster, an economy that has not produced any net jobs since the President won election, a bloated government spending trillions of dollars more than it brings in and liberalism basically crushing the American dream, the left is interested in is whether or not they can make Mr. Romney look substantially worse than the failure currently residing in the White House.

Kicking off their assault on Mitt Romney, this week the left dug deep into Romney’s past to dredge up recollections that he once picked on, call it bullied, a fellow student. And if that was not bad enough, add to the meme the slap in the face that the fellow student may have been gay. Seriously? That’s the narrative that is supposed to make Mitt Romney into Satan himself and so toxic that no one would ever dare vote for him? Forget the fact that the family of this former “victim” of Mitt Romney is dead and there appears to be no one in the family who can corroborate the claim [1].

Ok, I get it. The President’s record is so horrid that this is the tactic his minions have to adopt. But they are no doubt upset at how quickly their political opponents turned the issue around on them. Breitbart’s Big Journalism website, for example, quickly flipped the issue around and produced evidence by the President’s own hand that he once shoved a girl [2] because he was sick of being taunted about how he was her boyfriend. Yes, the future President assaulted a girl, I repeat, a girl, because he was afraid of getting cooties?

Now, as much as the old media was ready and willing to run with the story about Mitt Romney to show how evil and vile he is, they have not been so quick to divulge Obama’s previous brush with being a bully himself. So, since the old media apparently needs help being fair and balanced, I have prepared a cheat sheet for you guys and gals. What follows is a set of questions you can ask of President Obama during his next news conference. Feel free to use all of these:

“Mr. President – was your bullying of the girl you admitted to in your book based in any way on race? Sure she was black, but did you think she was not black enough?”
“Mr. President – rumor has it that the girl you admitted to bullying was a lesbian. Were you engaging in a hate crime when you shoved her?”
“Mr. President – do you find it easier to be a bully after you have smoked marijuana or snorted cocaine?”
“Mr. President – is your propensity to bully girls because you see them as inferior to you?”
“Mr. President – have you ever paid restitution for the emotional distress to the girl you bullied?”
“Mr. President – you said that the girl you shoved was ‘plump’. Are you saying that you bullied her because she was fat?”
“Mr. President – was your bullying of this girl named Coretta in any way related to her unwillingness to convert to Islam or to wear a hijab?”
“Mr. President – how many other girls have you beat up in your lifetime?”

Now, from my standpoint these questions are all meant in jest. They are however about as serious and relevant as anything the old media has come up with in regards to Mitt Romney this week. And if Mitt Romney is going to get grilled about things he is accused of doing in high school, silly things a lot of people do in high school, then we have to hold the President to that same standard.

Let me know, old media, when you decide to step up to the plate on this one.

The Six Commandments?

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

5/12/2012

Carolyn,

A few days ago, in preparing for an elite Hollywood fundraiser hosted by George Clooney, President Obama offered his endorsement of same-sex marriage. It was no surprise. Although the President has previously said that he supported marriage as the union of a man and a woman, his actions have consistently spoken differently.
Even though 32 states have passed legislation endorsing the legal definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman, President Obama said exactly what his leftist Hollywood supporters wanted to hear – and the money flowed into his reelection fund.

++The destruction of our culture is accelerating.

In the past three years, we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on our Christian values, our families, our rights of conscience and religious expression, our fundamental freedoms, our Constitution, our laws, and the separation of powers in our federal government.

And all of these changes are impacting our public education system. In fact, public schools that were designed to be a force for good in communities across the nation are now becoming engines of destruction of all that has made the United States of America an exceptional, blessed nation.

Just days ago, Liberty Counsel faced the ACLU in federal court over the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in a privately-sponsored display of a total of 29 documents impacting America’s law and government that was placed in a public high school. I argued on behalf of our client, the Giles County, Virginia, School Board. You can read the full story a little further in my message.

Amazingly, the judge sent the parties into mediation with the suggestion that we should consider omitting the first four Commandments – the ones he felt most strongly referenced God – and thus come to settlement and avoid further litigation!

So, now we are going to teach our young people about the influence on our law of the “Six Commandments”? That is historic revisionism raised to the power of blasphemy!

That’s why I am even more committed to getting our “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” into every public school in America – all 100,000 of them.

Over 40,000 of these invaluable Handbooks are already sponsored! We are almost half way toward reaching every public school in our nation with this powerful resource.

Right now we are preparing our next shipment to 10,000 public schools in New York, Tennessee, Colorado, Oregon, and Rhode Island for a cost of $1.50 per school.

Can you sponsor 20 schools – or even 100 schools? Click here now to help:

http://www.libertyaction.org/1345/offer.asp

I pray that you can see how important this initiative is. You can also click here to learn more about obtaining copies of the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” for yourself, your local schools, church groups, or civic organizations:

++The ACLU and other leftist groups want God out of our schools!

The “progressive” socialists know that the way to permanently alter the course of our nation is to infiltrate the minds of the upcoming generation. In just two generations, God has been systematically removed from our public schools. Now the battle is focused on historic revisionism – an all-out attempt to rewrite our nation’s history!

As crystal-clear proof, please take an additional moment to read an excerpt from my earlier message this week of how the ACLU is trying to remove God from our history…

+++++++++++++

The ACLU is committed to marginalizing America’s religious heritage by attempting to remove any expression of religion from the public square. They routinely attempt to bully public school administrations into rolling over for their radical agenda.

Our recent Giles County, Virginia, case is typical of their pattern of litigation.

As I shared earlier this week, the ACLU of Virginia sued the Giles County School Board to force them to remove a privately-sponsored historical display that includes the Ten Commandments as one of 29 framed documents, all of which played a role in developing our system of law and government.

The original display also contains the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and others – bringing the total number of framed documents to 29.

The ACLU has made it their mission to remove the Ten Commandments from the public high school in the small Appalachian town of Narrows, Virginia. They contend that the Ten Commandments stick out like a “sore thumb” among the framed documents depicting American law and government at Narrows High School.
Liberty Counsel is defending the Giles County School Board.

++Edit the Ten Commandments down to Six?

I knew when I walked into the Roanoke, VA, courtroom on Monday to face off against the ACLU that it was going to be a very challenging day.

During the three hour hearing, the Judge suggested that one way to resolve the ACLU’s case against the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in the public high school’s historical display would be to remove the first four Commandments (the ones he felt most directly reference God) – leaving only the last six. No ruling will occur on the case until after a mandatory mediation conference.

++“Revisionist history” on a rampage.

Whether the ACLU wants to recognize historical facts or not, the Ten Commandments played a significant role in the development of Western culture and the creation of our system of American law and government.

The Declaration of Independence mentions our “Creator,” and the Magna Carta and the Mayflower Compact both prominently mention “God” and His role in the minds of the men who built our nation’s foundation.

In fact, the vast majority of the founding documents refer to God’s role in inspiring our nation’s laws. One would have to re-write history to post foundational documents void of any mention of God. Even the approved Virginia history curriculum mentions the Ten Commandments and the role of Judeo-Christian thought in the development of American law and government.

++Our “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” belongs in every school in America.

Now, on an almost weekly basis, Liberty Counsel is called upon to aggressively defend the rights of students, teachers, administrators, and school systems as anti-religious organizations subvert our Constitution!

To be proactive in countering this disturbing trend, my Liberty Counsel team developed the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

This invaluable handbook is a resourceful guide based on decades of experience defending the rights of educators, students, administrators, and community members from the attacks of radical activists who want to squash freedom of religious expression in any public setting, including schools.

It is imperative that the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” be in the hands of anyone who is concerned about the direction our public schools are taking!

Click here to help us reach 10,000 more schools before the start of the 2012-2013 school year with the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

http://www.libertyaction.org/1345/offer.asp

++We must stand against attacks on public school students, teachers, administrators, and school systems!

Our case defending the Giles County Public Schools is just one of many we have undertaken, and there will doubtless be many more in the future.

This type of assault on First Amendment rights is becoming epidemic in America.

Please consider how many schools you will sponsor to receive the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools.”

We pray that one day this handbook will have a place in every backpack, every book bag, and every brief case that enters the dangerous environment so many of our public schools have become!

By clicking here, you will learn more about sponsoring the delivery of this handbook to one or more of our public schools – or how to obtain copies for yourself, your church, or civic organization:

God Bless You,

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

P.S. The ACLU is targeting yet another school system and demonstrating that our public schools are among the primary battlefields for anti-religious bigotry.

The protection of our public school students, educators, and administrators from organizations bent on silencing people of faith and rewriting our history has been a significant part of Liberty Counsel’s mission from the beginning. But now, with an increasing sense of urgency, America’s public schools are being manipulatively used to destroy the very communities they serve!

City rules church not ‘charitable’ enough

A city in Maine has decided to enforce thousands of dollars in property taxes on a congregation because, its assessment board ruled, the church doesn’t qualify as a charity.

Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Rockland, Maine, filed suit in the Knox County Superior Court last month over a legal loophole that allows the city to charge taxes on the church’s driveway and parking lot, while exempting other non-profit organizations from the same costs.

You Make the Call Is It

America a Country Overwhelmed

David L Lamon

I can and after you finish reading this excerpt from an article I think is particularly interesting as well as pertinent plus my follow-up you can too for it constructs the true meaning of “Yes We Can” from being informed so you too can make intelligent decisions. We so often hear today these words yes we can in the political world howbeit in deceptive fashion!

http://patriotupdate.com/22734/fed-clears-chinas-first-us-bank-takeove r

Excerpt from article: The Federal Reserve approved an application from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to buy a majority stake in the US subsidiary of Bank of East Asia.

The transaction will make ICBC the first Chinese state-controlled bank to acquire retail bank branches in the United States. (End of Quote)

One thing is for certain we have Imps of Satan running our government and most from behind the scene; Rockefeller/Soros to name a couple plus their cohorts in Council on Foreign Relations, Tri-lateral Commission, Bilderberger Group that includes many of our elected as members and the international banking community are selling us out to the enemy; the One World Government and that is why I call for a complete and total firing of all incumbents if that is even possible anymore. Let’s begin with some strong wording from God’s word and after reading what is below decide for yourself if it fits America.

Prophecy is being fulfilled for all to see believer and non-believer alike thus the Overthrow of America or the last obstacle to the establishing of a one world government in the works

Proverbs 5:10 lest aliens be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger.

We have been taken captive and most Americans still don’t see it! Read the curses listed here in Deut 28:43, 44 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He (China) shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. A news story broke just this week that Obama, Timothy Geithner, the Treasury Secretary have been meeting with China to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency in favor of the yuan through devaluation. (more on this in this article)

What could be the end of the matter?

In the book of Jeremiah that I portend is referring to America in the end time with the little recognized reference to the daughter of Babylon meaning future it states, Jeremiah 51:14 surely I will fill you with men as with locust, and they shall lift up a battle cry against you. Muslim brotherhood and other illegal aliens have infiltrated our borders because our government will not secure the passage ways. China has broken our security codes and unlocked the keys to our power grids and next our communication systems…

“The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women (vs. 30).” Another reason lies in the fact that terrorist saboteurs cause internal havoc in the nation. Our warfare capabilities rely heavily on computer technology and this new element of warfare called Cyber Warfare is in play in this verse of scripture the prophet is speaking of about America. Verse 32 declares, “the passages are stopped (communication systems)…and the men of war [military leaders] are affrighted [scared to death].”

Note: There are many references to this end time Babylon that doesn’t fit the Babylon of old at all such as across the sea from Israel plus many more. You can request my article America in Prophecy for further details for in it you will see the biblical references by Isaiah, Jeremiah and John the Revelator that fits only one nation in this end time and that is America.

Why is this happening?

Duet: 47-51 “because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, (China) as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young (forced abortion). And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

Has the gospel of Jesus Christ been so prostituted it is unrecognizable?

I think it is fair to say yes to that! We have every kind of religion man can imagine in America, yet there is only one God and only one word that doesn’t allow for man’s interpretation.

What has happened in America since our founding religiously speaking… 2 Timothy 4:3 for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
Romans 1:21 because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

End result of these vain imaginations as God judges America

2 Corinthians 10:5; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Note: In case you haven’t noticed the World Trade Center that was brought down by the terrorists name has been changed to One World Trade Center. Get the picture now on just how close we are to the kingdom of the anti-Christ prophesied in the bible with his false prophet and one world government? You know, they say as the U.S. economy goes so goes the rest of the world. After all, the U.S. is by far the largest monetary contributor to the U.N., IMF and World Bank plus is the world’s policeman with troops in over 120 countries.

Let’s consider a few obvious things going on in America; the U.N., IMF, One World Trade Center is right here in the U.S. and with the dollar being the world’s reserve currency; could it be the U.S. the lone superpower is the leader of the anti-Christ kingdom? Oh yea, doesn’t the world have to trade in their money for U.S. dollars when they buy oil; the energy that drives their economies? Throw in the fact the bible in speaking of the end time describes this end time anti-Christ kingdom in a way that the above seems to fit. Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. It seems like I remember someone saying, “If the shoe fits you must acquit”.

I know what is on some of your minds. America is the strongest Christian nation and has evangelized the world. Over 80% of Americans claim to be Christians and all that stuff that goes with it. True, America has more forms of Christianity than any nation the world has ever seen but the facts that define Christianity in the bible doesn’t change just because we have so many versions of it. The fact remains to be a Christian by definition means to be “Christ-like” and in my bible I don’t see but one version of Christ and everything he taught. He appears to be a God that changes not. Why, he even said himself, John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Paul followed this up with…1 Corinthians 12:3 wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Note: By definition in the bible of what constitutes calling Jesus and his word accursed… Galatians 1:8 but though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Even drunkards claim to be Christians and have their version of Christianity that recognizes Jesus is the lone Savior. If you don’t believe me go down any ally in America and find a drunkard; roll him over out of his slobber and ask him if he believes Jesus is the savior. He will and has replied, “Any fool knows that is the truth”. Yet, I find…1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat.

So what is the safe conclusion to all this as a believer striving to perfection? It has to be there is only one way and that way is…Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. This comes with a stern warning…Proverbs 24:21-22, my son, fear the Lord and the king; do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity will rise suddenly and who knows the ruin those two can bring? Revelation 22: 18, 19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words [logos] of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words [logos] of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

James 2:10 for whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Matthew 5:20 for I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

I wonder with all these different ways to get to heaven could it be that is why we are known the world over as the leader in…“A country which leads the world in homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, divorce, abortion, violent crime, drug usage, alcoholism, and child abuse: a country which embraces its enemies (China through trade) while turning its back on its friends (Taiwan); and a country which turns its back on its spiritual, Christ-centered heritage while believing itself to still be the greatest – is ready for a major fall,” says Don McAlvany. It happened to Rome, Babylon, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and now America is on the verge of allowing it to happen. Throw in the fact “W” and Obama both have stepped up to the plate in defense of religion by declaring there is more than one way to get to heaven than through Jesus Christ. Did I fail to mention both these men claim to be Christians? Oh well, let’s proceed!

David Rockefeller, Founder and Honorary Chairman of the Council of the Americas, Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, Founder and Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission. We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nation will accept the New World Order.

He also said, “Some even believe we (Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

Rockefeller is talking about a total collapse of our banking system, thus the economy and using terrorism to bring us to our knees and accept the New World Order that Henry Kissinger, Zbignew Brezinski and George Bush senior who told us we must accept in 144 speeches. Wasn’t Jimmy I will never lie to you Carter the president of the Council on Foreign Relation and wasn’t Brezinski his National Security Advisor? Didn’t they reside over an almost destroyed U.S. economy? Let’s see we had the highest inflation and interest rates ever in America under Carter and he punished the rich oil companies that passed these cost on to we the people, the consumers. It appears to me it is we the people that got punished with his deception.

Wasn’t Paul Volcker the Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Jimmy Carter who has resurfaced on the scene under Obama (the man who declared he was a citizen of the world) and wasn’t Paul Volcker who in a closed door meeting said he was going to break every Savings and Loan institution (home mortgage lender) in America? Oh yes, he indeed did plus was instrumental in leading the charge to monopolize the banking industry? Could it be they were trying their dead level best to purposely bring down America into submission to the New World Order?

I can think of only one reason for this and that is America is the last obstacle in place to prevent the one world government from taking over the entire world so America and its citizens must succumb. You see as long as there is a strong middle class brought about by a strong manufacturing based economy of which we no longer have thanks to Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich with NAFTA the one world communist government can’t surface successfully. Whew, I know you were wondering where Clinton fits in all this wasn’t you. But hey, today according to polls conducted with the American people he is considered one of the top five presidents of all time. Of course he was given credit for balancing the budget but I still don’t know what budget they were supposed to have balanced because we still were head over hills in debt after the fact.

In the middle of Clinton and Obama is “W” who redefined inflation using the term “core inflation” that eliminated oil and food from being considered in the inflation equation? Hum, how much of everything is tied to oil that feeds or supplies us with everything necessary to survive?

Let’s consider under Obama using the visage of fighting high interest rates and inflation is using another tactic. This time they are printing trillions of dollars not backed up by anything that will in the end bring about the destruction of the dollar through devaluation and probably force us to accept what has already been printed a one world currency. Imagine that! Do you still like the man? Oh well, let’s go on with some other quotes.

James Paul Warburg, member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Foreign Agent of the Rothschild Dynasty. Warburg was a major player in the Federal Reserve Act scam. We shall have world government whether or not you like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.

Former U.N. General Secretary Kofi Annon who said, “The hell with America, we (U.N.) are already in control.” (See Agenda 21, Kyoto Protocol, Global Warming deception)

Note: Presently the U.N.’s Agenda 21 bureaucrats are working tirelessly in over 600 cities and towns in America establishing what they refer to as “sustainable development”, which is code for deceiving the public to accept Agenda 21. And although not publicly stated means stripping the American citizens of property rights, which is a vital clog in the wheel of freedom that establishes a free nation. Many of these entities that have succumbed to these environmental whackos are now seeing the deception and trying to reverse course but are finding it most difficult because the EPA and Obama are threatening expensive lawsuits to keep them at bay.

After all, how can these cities and towns hope to challenge the power and wealth of the federal government with their meager resources plus the fact the courts are stacked with globalist judges? Consider the fact these same judges refuse to allow lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility. Also, consider the fact their justification is “we the people” don’t have standing but I am here to tell you the Declaration of Independence highly disputes this claim by these judges. Read it for yourself in its entirety.

Just a few excerpts

But first: The one world government establishment with the aid of the liberal democrats and republicans in high positions of authority are working tirelessly to dismantle the tenth amendment and I encourage every American to get into the constitution and study it so you can know its value to you and your family’s freedoms.

If these judges are allowed to declare “we the people” don’t have standing it smacks the Declaration of Independence right in the mouth making it of none effect should they be allowed to succeed. This would be to surrender the form of government we have chosen to live under; one deriving its powers from its own will and not from an overreaching international banking authority. In particular, these parts:

· Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed.

· Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.

· When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.

Note: Obama is now working to hand over to Russia some islands off the Alaska coast that is believed to be rich in oil and natural gas resources. He has also in the works taking over more of the United States land mass to put under the control of the federal government. He is fast dismantling our missile defense capabilities in order to appease the Russians.

Concerning the Council on Foreign Relations, Devvy Kidd in her book Why A Bankrupt America, said, “the CFR’s (Council on Foreign Relations) activities are treasonous to our U.S. Constitution.” They mean to put an end to the United States of America and make our nation part of their global government scheme. Phyllis Schlafly said, “Global treaties and conferences are a direct threat to every American citizen.

Note: Obama is now doing this handing over control of America to the international banking community through the U.N. by Presidential Directive bypassing the constitutional process that involves the senate’s approval. He has even publicly stated he does not need the congress. He is doing it this way because presently there are members of his own party that will not submit to his will of bringing America into a one world government. This means folks, there is still hope but it is up to us to make it known to the elected our demands.

Barry Goldwater had it figured out way back in 1971. “The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find a headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the major of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.”

If you listen closely to a liberal’s rhetoric, I’m afraid you’ll find many of our liberal friends are indeed willing, often anxious, to relinquish our freedom, the most precious gift ever bestowed upon a people, to an omnipotent government, and to allow this nation’s proud and honorable citizens to be transformed into servitude.

Warning for our generation not heeded: Baron M.A. Rothschild “Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.” The Federal Reserve Bank controls America’s economic policy and is not a part of the U.S. government as many suppose but a private for profit international banking institution.

We did not heed the warnings of past presidents about allowing banks to determine the economy/destiny of the United States.

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Abraham Lincoln quote: I have two great enemies, the southern army in front of me and the financial institutions, in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is the greatest enemy….. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.

In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson approved the Federal Reserve Act. A few years later, he reflected:

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world — no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

Hopefully now you can see why we must have leaders born of the water and spirit. Christians with the backbone to take on these devils and a nation of people that will repent of their evil and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Men as described…

Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Proverbs 29:2 when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Now maybe you can understand and believe what the Lord is telling us and why I have been writing below. If there was no hope then why would God send these warnings to us but on the other hand if we do not heed the warning things will continue to deteriorate rapidly. Rest assured God will make a way of escape for his children but that is the only limitation that will apply.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The Answer

Proverbs 5:7-14 do not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove your way far from her and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel one. Lest aliens be filled with your wealth and your labors go to the house of a foreigner. And you mourn at last, when your flesh and your body are consumed, and say: How I have hated instruction and my heart despised correction! I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Psalms 109:8 let his days be few; and let another take his office.

I will give you one head’s up and not a tails down, it is not the economy stupid; it is the moral decline of America that has brought us to the point we are today to the end of the slippery slope into oblivion.

America has become a country which leads the world in homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, divorce, abortion, violent crime, drug usage, alcoholism, and child abuse: a country which embraces its enemies (China through trade) while turning its back on its friends (Taiwan); and a country which turns its back on its spiritual, Christ-centered heritage while believing itself to still be the greatest is ready for a major fall, says Don McAlvany. It happened to Rome, Babylon, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and now America (us) is on the verge of allowing it to happen again.

The answer to the title of this article and a good conscious is… John 3:8 the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 10:4 and when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:27 my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

These concluding verses make the point John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. How it is a man/woman could hope to be known of God and know God unless he/she is born again of the spirit of God. The answer is to begin your spiritual journey as prescribed at the founding of the New Testament Church.

Acts 2:37-39 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. This verse for the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call means this can and will happen until the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is what the apostle meant in 1 Corinthians 13:10 when he said…but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Note: The above last verse makes the correction to a teaching that has prevailed in most churches in America that has taught this means the bible is “that which” is perfect. To further show the fallacy of this teaching consider this by asking yourself the question did Mary have a bible or the in the flesh Son of God? Why? Because by examination of the scripture the two words “that which” we find in the same context the angel said…Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And Luke added… Luke 1:35 and the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

How did all others know they had received the gift of the Holy Ghost?

Acts 10:45-46 and they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For/because they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

When the Lord comes to rapture his church he is not coming for corruptible flesh but the incorruptible, which is the recognized spirit of God in a person that was filled with God’s spirit at the event of the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 now this I say, brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

It is that… Ephesians 3:16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. 1 Peter 3:4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Conclusion

So, the answer for restoring America is find you a United Pentecostal Church or church of like apostolic faith where there is a spirit of worship conducive to the inviting of the spirit of God in their presence and in the spirit of a desperate heart filled with contrition and humbleness obey Acts 2:38 above, which is the foundation upon which the church was built. (See Matthew 16 for details) The fact is God will not go where he is not invited and will not respond positively to a stiff-necked people except with judgment although he is patient and longsuffering. But he will not always be this way, there is coming a time when the door is going to shut on the Gentile nations and a return to the Jew. (See Luke 21:24)

That is why we are taught in the bible to…Psalms 149:1-5 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds in order to get his spirit involved in their lives.

And why not, we do it at football games, concerts etc. don’t we? Is not God greater than all these? Can cheerleaders or football players have a say where you will spend eternity or is it God alone who judges where one will spend his/her eternity?

Only the desperate heart filled with repentance through a heart filled with contrition and humbleness is now and what it has always taken to move a man/woman from his/her sinful nature to a spirit of repentance; a person that comes to grip with the fact they finally recognize they have failed in their attempt to go it on their own spiritually speaking. David the scripture says was a man after God’s own heart tried this because after all God gave man the freedom to choose his own way or not and concluded he could not be pleasing to God and do it his way. How come it is a man doing it his own way will not work in pleasing God?

Isaiah 55:8 for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Romans 8:7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Galatians 5:17 for the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 1 Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. That is why with a contrite and humble spirit David repeatedly asked God to continually judge him and try his heart and reins.

But your escape from this confusion can be eliminated by…Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus and that can only happen by being filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, which includes…Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. That means yes a sincere fervent prayer life along with study of God’s word must be established to stay full of the Holy Ghost. This is indicative of what Jesus meant when he spoke to the church at Laodicea…Revelation 3:15-16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
