Introduction
For years I ranted and raved, mostly to my wife, friends,
and family, about what I determined to be wrong with the world. I call myself a Charismentalist. That means that I am a ‘Born Again’ Christian
fundamentalist, who believes the Lord is ultimately in charge of everything and
operates through the power of His Holy Spirit.
I also strongly relate to the fundamentals of the foundations of our
country. By this you can understand my
world view. In October of 2006 I began
to put my rants into the realm of the written word. This book encompasses those ‘rants’ from then
until June of 2010.

Dedication
To my wife, Ginger, who is not only the love of my life,
but also my editor in chief and co-conspirator in this undertaking. She, over the years, when I would go off on
my tangents, would calm me down by reminding me that there were things that had
to take place before the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

If you are a citizen of the United States
Many these days seem quick to condemn
the actions of our government and its officials. The major problem these days is that those
who condemn the loudest never present a reasonable solution or alternative
plan. If you condemn without presenting
an alternative or accuse with out presenting the facts to back up your
accusations the only thing you accomplish is looking like a fool. If you wish to be viewed as less significant
than a sugar ant or gnat then continue sounding like some of today’s
politicians. If what you are saying
contains no substance, then why are you saying it?
The problems we face today are as plain
as day. If you listen to what our
enemies, both external and internal are saying, you can’t help knowing what
they intend. It’s our families and basic
beliefs that are in jeopardy here. If
you are not willing to fight for them, then whom do you think will?
Read the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of The United States of America and you will see where you fit
into the scheme of things. Study the
history behind this country and you will understand the reasons for the
foundations of our country and you will see what needs to be done and how you
fit in. These are the reasons why we
have become the greatest and most prosperous country in the history of the
world.
It would be a real shame if our way of
life and future of our children were destroyed by our apathy. Don’t continue to let others do your thinking
for you. If you do nothing else, at
least write your elected officials and let them know how you feel, and then
vote.

Chapter 2
Judeo Christian America
Anyone who says that the United States of America
The proponents of the Judeo Christian ethic have not always
been perfect, nor are we now. The Muslim
extremists are getting away with what they are doing throughout the world,
while the “good” Muslims could put a stop to it if they stood together against
the extremists. The “good” Christians
stood by and did nothing as the inquisition took place, just as the “good”
Muslims are doing today. Both groups had
the same idea: the control of others in
pursuit of their religion.
The intolerance of our Judeo Christian principals prevalent
in our country today is for the most part, due, not to those who would
undermine those principals but rather to the apathy of those of us not willing
to put forth the effort to maintain our God given rights.
A conservative humanist is no better than a liberal
humanist, but simply has a differing bent.
Humanism is the force that is eroding the principals on which this
country was founded and is being done by replacing our founding fathers Godly
values with the humanistic values of those who have the audacity to believe
that those values thought up by humans should be paramount to the biblical
principals on which our nation was founded.
In other words, “love thy neighbor” is being replaced by rob thy
neighbor,
Those who believed that they knew better than God and our
founding fathers didn’t have a hammer to hold over us, until the 1940’s. A position
paper was presented to the
Supreme Court by a member of the ACLU

misquoting the words and intentions of Thomas Jefferson. Thus was established the doctrine of “separation
of church and state”. Our country,
and its relationship with God, was never intended to be separated. Even
cursory research into the
writings of our founding fathers establishes this fact. The very foundations of our country were
based on God and His
principals. Truthfully, without the principles of God in
our laws, there is no
reason to obey them. What God hath joined together, let no man put
asunder.

Chapter 3
What’s Up?
As I have gotten older, I don’t know if I have gotten
smarter, more intuitive, more insightful, more alert, more aware, or just
paranoid. The more I look at what is
going on in our country and around the world, the more fearful I become. I look at and listen to our politicians and
am amazed at their lack of understanding and realization of what is going on
around them. I find it hard to believe
that with their supposed knowledge and education that they are unable to
understand. I lean more and more these
days to the opinion that they are somehow controlled. By what, or whom, I do not know. Remember though, you are not paranoid if they
really are after you.
Aside from the above, I really do
believe that there are two immediate enemies of which we should be aware. Radical Islam attacks from without while anti
traditional American groups such as the ACLU attack from within. I consider this to be external as well as
internal terrorism. I can remember how
upset my grandfather used to get over what America
There are three books that I have
recently read that I can recommend wholeheartedly as follow up if you
wish. They are, “The Islamic Invasion”
by Robert Morey, “Jerusalem Countdown” by John Hagie, and “Indefensible” by Sam
Kastensmidt. “The Marketing of Evil” by
David Kupelian is another good book but is more difficult reading.
This
is not meant as hate speech but rather hope speech and also a warning as to
what we in the United States

Degree of Outlook
Conservative – One who believes that
the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence combined with
the explanative writings of the founding fathers should be used as the basis
for decisions on how our country operates.
Liberal - One who believes that the
Constitution is a “living document” that needs to be adjusted on a regular
basis to keep up with the changing social condition.
I have said for years that a liberal
is just a conservative without the ability to think logically. Liberals tend to make their decisions based
more on emotion than fact. This,
however, is a generalization – degree seems to be the real defining
factor. The scale below is my idea of
degree…

Just to let you know where I am
coming from –
I am a Christian
charismentalist with a constitutionalist view of politics along with some
liberalist social values.

I believe that
loyalty in the workplace has all but been destroyed by what I call the
centralization of big business. In
latter years, companies were smaller and had a more personal relationship
between employee and employer. As the
corporate institutions became larger and more diversified the personal contact
and caring gave way to more “business” related personnel decisions. The insuring lack of concern for employees in
turn gave rise to a lack of loyalty by the employees. In the 1950’s for instance, a man could earn
enough to support his family while his wife stayed at home and cared of the
children. It is my considered opinion
that if an employer chooses not to pay an employee (male or female) a wage and
benefit package substantial enough to allow the employee a reasonably
acceptable lifestyle for a family of four, they shouldn’t be in business at
all.
I am more and more
in favor these days of some form of socialized medicine. My reasoning for this is that the medical and
pharmaceutical industries have shown a complete lack of self-control in their
price structuring. Government
regulations on the other hand have made it necessary for those who can afford
care to pay enough to cover the costs of those who can’t. Insurance companies have become adversaries
to both the medical providers as well as their patients. Many of you may have noticed that much more
medical testing is being done as a CYA measure over and above that which is
done due to advances in medical procedure.
Prescription costs and medical visits have gone through the roof. Insurance companies have gained the upper
hand over doctors as to what treatments and remedies are allowable. Surely one government agency could run this
area better more efficiently and with less redundancy than all of the little
governing agencies (insurance companies) that have cropped up. Workman’s compensation has become a nightmare
for those who have had to become involved with it. What was intended to be a benefit has turned
into a horror story. An attorney
recently told me that since the insurance companies have been placed in charge
of the program the following holds true –
‘Workers compensation makes it so
difficult to get proper treatment that ninety percent of the people will give
up and go to their own resources for
proper care and that it costs the
workers compensation insurance companies
less to be sued by the remaining ten
percent than it would have cost to have given proper care to all.’ Granted there are fraudulent claims and they
should be dealt with harshly. That
doesn’t mean that all claimants should be treated as though they were frauds.

Marriage
is the union of a man and a woman for the purpose of establishing a
family. Since our gay population would
like to have, and deserve the same benefits as a married couple, lets figure
out what to call it and establish it.
Airplanes and cars are not the same but are both used for
transportation. Why can’t our esteemed
politicians come up with plan for a gay union and end all the useless fighting.
The
“establishment” clause in the Constitution does not set up a “wall of
separation between church and state”. It
takes a real stretch of the imagination to even hint that it does. It simply means that the government must
refrain from setting up a one denomination state run religion. Our founders were trying to avoid the “Church
of England” situation that we had fled from.
Many people these days seem to have trouble defining religion. Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Islam,
Buddhism, Church of England and Hindu are examples of religions.
Since
there can be no doubt in any educated persons mind that these United Stated
were set up as a Christian nation, based on Judeo – Christian
principals, what is all the
fuss. Christianity is not and never was,
nor will it ever be a religion. It is a
personal relationship with Jesus the Christ.
By the way, “Christ” is His title not His last name, anymore than “of Nazareth
It
is my opinion that a very strict interpretation of our founding documents
should be followed at all times.

Chapter 5
Eloi
“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” “Father, Father, why have you forsaken
me?”
Why must we suffer these fools? Jesus is Lord; even Mohammad said so:
Mohammad said that the old
and new testaments were the word of God.
Today Mohammad’s followers say that both the new and old testaments have
been corrupted and therefore can’t be trusted.
The old and new testaments can be proven to be the same today as when
Mohammad was alive. Islam today refers
to the council of about 400 years ago when the decisions about what should be
included in the bible and what should be left out was conducted. Mohammad lived years earlier.
Woe is unto him who knows the truth and
distorts it for his own advantage. If
Islam is truly a peaceful religion then they should shout it from the
rooftops. He who does nothing has chosen
his course by his silence.
The Old Testament has much
of the same violence toward the non-Hebrews as the Koran has toward
non-Muslims. The one true and living God
didn’t want his people corrupted any more than Mohammed wanted his followers
corrupted. The difference is Jesus. He covered the payment for those who would
trust in Him. There is no such out in
Islam.
If there were no God,
there would be no reason to follow any laws.
There is no way any man could live his life good enough to satisfy God
on his own. Without the Jesus loophole
all are lost. Hell is the resting place
for those who do not fulfill the purpose for which they were created.
Do not be deceived
brothers and sisters. The Moslems know
that if
you are truly in Christ you can never be converted
and therefore want you dead. Death is
the end of excuses and the beginning of eternity.

Chapter 6
Why do the little things
matter?
Why do the little things matter? They matter because it sets up a life
pattern. If you lay down with dogs you
get up with fleas. If you cheat in
school, steal office supplies, cheat on your wife and your taxes it hurts
everyone. For every action there is a
reaction.
About eighty five percent or better of the American people
are in the middle, or moderate. However,
the few percent of the far right and the far left are the ones that make the
most noise. The squeaky wheel gets the
most grease. It’s about time that the
vast majority started getting more active.
I know we are all involved in our own lives, making a living and raising
families. In the meantime the traditional American way of life is being eroded
away bit by bit.
Multiculturalism, will eventually give way to
internationalism. Do you really want the
United Nations to control your life?
I’ve heard everything from international industrialists to
“One Worlders”, among other conspiracy theories that may be behind the decline
of the civilized world. I think, in
reality, the real culprit is apathy. In
our United States
Has anyone read the Constitution, The Bill of Rights or the
Declaration of Independence lately? The
Federalist Papers are a good insight into the mindset of the people who wrote
them and why they wrote them. The
compromising has already been done. These
documents represent the finest minds of the founding fathers in conflict and
compromise until the final documents were birthed.
If you loose your freedom of speech, the right to keep and
bear arms, and your freedom of religion, what will you have? You will have a new right; the right to say
yes and do what your told.

There is a serious challenge to our American way of life
going on right now. Yes, our American
way of life is under attack. There are
many groups out there chipping away at and attempting to erode what “We the
People” are supposed to have. Regardless
as to weather they are just individual entities or a group of like minded
organizations, they are moving forward in their efforts to limit our rights and
further their agendas. It’s all about
control. They want to control you. A few
more laws, a few changes to the existing laws, a little more divisiveness and
pretty soon we won’t recognize where we live.
The founding documents of our country are the bulwark of
our freedoms, rights and traditions. As
it states in these documents, “We the People” were given these rights by our
creator, not by the laws of man. If our
adversaries can obscure this one fact, the laws of man can easily take our
rights and freedoms away
It
may be jealousy, envy, or just plain greed that prompts those from within and
around the globe to undermine our United States Rome
The
following lies are currently setting up to overtake our way of life and our
rights:
1. Global warming is caused by mankind.
2. Evil can be overcome by negotiation.
3. Open boarders make good neighbors.
4. Nationalism is a bad thing.
5. International law should usurp our
constitution.
6. The United States
7. The Constitution is a living document that
should be reviewed
and subject to change on a regular basis.
8. Your conscience is a bad thing.
11
If you really believe that man is not an animal then stop
acting like one. Just because you think
something is fun doesn’t mean it’s good for all of us. Productivity, self sacrifice, self reliance,
self restraint, looking out for the other guy and caring for our neighbors are
the foundations of our nation and our way of life.

Chapter 7
Religious beliefs of presidential candidates
There seems to be a lot of debate
lately about the religious beliefs of many of the presidential candidates. Christianity seems to be the crux of the
questioning. Mormonism also seems to be
a stumbling block in the current discussion.
Therefore, I decided to inject my opinions in hope of clearing the air.
Glen Beck has come out against Mike
Huckabee recently because Huckabee won’t come out directly and say that
Mormon’s are Christians. So what! Hey Glen, I can’t find any where in the
Constitution or Bill of Rights that we have a right not to be offended. Mormons are not Christians, Baptists are not
Christians, Methodists are not Christians – no group is a Christian. Since the only way to become a Christian is
to have a one on one personal relationship with Christ, no formed group can be
considered as a Christian group but would be rather as a group of
Christians. Since Mitt Romney is a
professed Mormon and Mike Huckabee is a professed Baptist the press and
commentators want to pit them against each other. I have heard the professions of Mitt Romney,
Mike Huckabee, and Glen Beck for that matter, and all three qualify (if they
believe what they profess) as Christians according to the Bible. As it has been said, “Denominations are
simply monuments to the dead saints who founded them”. The Bible says that if we fail to declare
that Jesus is Lord, the rocks will cry out to do so. Guess we’re not as important as we
think!
Why do people try to attach to
Christianity that which is not Christian?
Are we really that vane that we put ourselves on the same level as God
to set up rules for others to live by?
Man’s best friend is his dogma.
Let’s train our dogma not to poop in the house.
Ok, your right! Christians aren’t perfect, just
forgiven. However, there is a better
chance of their doing what is right than someone who believes that they are the
higher power.
Opinion number one – A man (or woman)
with faith in God is more
likely to be honest and keep
their word than some one who has no God.
13
Opinion number two – Since we were
undeniably founded as a faith based nation, a person of faith has a better
chance in understanding what we stand for.
Opinion number three – What we don’t
need is someone with no real faith foundation and no real understanding of whom
and what our countries fundamentals are.
Opinion number four – Read the books,
the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, the Federalist papers and the
oldest history book “His story, the Bible”.
Yep, I look at things from a Christian
perspective because I am one. I also
look at our country from an American constitutionalist perspective because I am
one.

Chapter 8
Hey seniors!
I
found the money. The social security
fund was not depleted over the years by congress. Instead of using our social security fund for
worthless governmental programs they looked to the future on our behalf. They did use an awful lot of money that they
should not have, however, they left our money at Fort Knox
Where is all the free stuff I
keep hearing about? I hear people
carping about the “entitlement” programs we old folks have but I can’t find
them. My wife and I for example are now
on Medicare. At present we are paying,
out of pocket, approximately the same amount as we did on group health
insurance. We paid into the social
security and Medicare programs throughout our lifetimes – we weren’t given a
choice or any say in the matter at all.
While paying into the system our social security retirement age for full
benefits was raised from sixty five to sixty five and ten months and sixty six
respectively, again without our consultation.
The rate of payroll deduction was raised time and again over the
years. In essence, we had to pay higher
rates and had to both work an extra year due to poor management by the
governmental agencies responsible for social security administration and some
years ago they decided that our retirement benefits should be taxed as income.
Social security retirement and Medicare are not entitlement
programs but debt owed to seniors by the government of the people of the United States of America
It’s about time that right thinking Americans run for
office and clean
15
up the mistakes of the
past. Line item veto would be a good
first step followed by term limits.
Selling off excess government assets would be a good second step. Putting a halt to silly and extravagant
government programs and subsidies is absolutely essential. The government employee’s retirement program
should be rolled over into the social security system. Those not subject to a system shouldn’t be
making the decisions about the system.
Anything determined to be frivolous or overdone such as beautification
of governmental assets or excessive use of office space should be
downsized. Government buildings and
offices don’t need to be the prettiest on the block; especially since we are
paying for them. Subsidies to industry
and farming should be cut to just the bare necessities. Service in our
government should be just that, service, not career paths. Salary scales should be viewed in
relationship to like salaries in the business world. Compensation should be based on what the
position is worth. (Sorry congress, I guess you’ll have to take a pay cut.)

Chapter 9
Why do you Vote?
Our founding fathers did not
look on Christianity as a religion but rather a way of life. That was the basis for the foundation of our
nation. Religions were the man made
groups that were set up to worship in many diverse ways. In plain talk, the first amendment to the
constitution prevents the federal government from setting up a form of or
restricting the forms by which we worship and fellowship.
In 1947 the ACLU joined the Ku Klux
Klan and Justice Black of the Supreme Court to erect a wall of separation
between church and state that never in our history existed. The ACLU submitted a friend of the court
brief in the KKK case claiming this wall of separation.
Those of you with differing beliefs
and non-belief are welcomed among us by the grace of God and our founding
documents. Keep in mind that our
founding documents state that our rights are granted by God and not man. What cannot be tolerated are those who would
undermine the basic tenets on which our country was founded. “God, in his providence has given unto us a
Christian nation and it behooves us as Christians to prefer and to select
Christians to rule over us.” John Jay –
First chief justice of the Supreme Court.
John Jay along with Hamilton and
Madison wrote the “federalist papers” which were used to explain to the states
why to ratify the constitution. They
knew what the constitution meant and explained it in these papers.
Why would it be better to have a Christian
leader? Because the
tendency
would be for them to have the basic Christian principals, beliefs and value
system. But ‘it ain’t necessarily
so!’ It’s just that the chances are
better. President Jimmy Carter is a good
example. He professes to be a Christian
yet he is obviously an anti-Semite. The
Bible says that Christians are grafted into the vine of Judaism and therefore
Christians are Jews. Again, the KKK has
it wrong, claiming to be a Christian group and yet hating the Jews (Of course
they hate a few others like the Catholics the
17
blacks,
and on and on.) despite the fact that Jesus was a Jew. Is there
anything
these people can’t get wrong?
Our Constitution defines what our rights are and
that they are granted by Providence
I saw a college professor on TV the other day that
stated that all of our founding fathers were atheists. Examples like this are rampant throughout our
educational system. Is it any wonder our
children are having trouble picking right from wrong? Islam wants to destroy Israel because Israel
Our courts are not functioning the same today as
they did for the first one hundred fifty years of our history. The founding fathers set up the court to be
controlled by the constitution not by precedent. Today they are even using precedent to
establish laws never intended by the founding fathers. By judicial fiat we are now enjoying the
inclusion of such things as the “Wall of Separation”, abortion on demand,
prayer removed from schools and changes in the marriage laws.
I don’t consider myself to be either a Republican or
a Democrat. I rather look on myself as
a traditional constitutionalist with a Christian point of understanding. As I
enter the voting booth, I think of what is best for the American way of
life. America America United States of America America

on earth because of the fine foundation on which we were established. Failure to understand why we are blessed is
the first step in loosing what we have.

Chapter 10
Hate Crimes
I don’t understand what all the fuss is concerning
Christians and hate crimes. Crimes are
committed against people, and Christians don’t hate people. As Christians we are instructed by the Bible
to love everyone, as we are all God’s creation.
We are instructed to hate sin, but not the sinner. Since God is willing to give salvation to
anyone who comes to Him through his Son, who are we to be involved in this hate
business? This would be against God’s
wishes. Preaching against any form of
sin, either of commission or omission, is our duty in order to enlighten the
world. Being against sin is not being
against God’s created creatures, but rather being against what would displease
God. Hating our fellow man is one of the things that disappoint God. The instruction is – ‘judge not, lest ye be
judged”. Anyone who knows anything about
our Lord and the Bible knows this to be true.
Where we run into trouble is with those who do not know the Lord and His
Bible. They judge us merely on their
lack of knowledge. Ignorance breeds
contempt. If those who judge us were as
sophisticated as they imagine, they would take the time to study to show
themselves approved, before trying to pass judgment on others.
I do understand that there are forces that are capable of
doing anything necessary in order to accomplish their goals. Often, as we have seen over the years, these
forces are against Christianity and its principals. It is easy, if you know the scriptures, to
know from whence they get their impetus.
Since there are only two forces active in the world, this is a no
brainier. There is a monumental
difference in these opposing forces that essentially breaks down to the
struggle between good and evil. We all
have our little peccadilloes of self-centeredness and foolishness by which we
conduct our lives. What is the basis and
foundation by which we judge ourselves?
From whence do we get the foundation by which we make our
decisions? The Bible is the instruction
book or owners manual for mankind. If we
don’t have the Bible as our foundation, where do we get the ability to make
quality decisions? The next time you
make a judgment call, stop and ponder the reasoning that went into the decision
making process. Without the biblical
basis for our laws we would all be running around willy-nilly/ to and fro, with
whatever feels right at the time.
Anarchy may feel good to the individual; however, it is never long
before anarchy leads to conflict. If we
20
all conducted our lives as we
pleased, we would not only interfere with others, but they in turn interfere
with us.
In my life, I do my utmost to follow the Lord of the
Bible. Nothing in the Bible has ever
been proven wrong, and archeology continues to verify its contents. To me, this is proof positive of the history
(His story). Many, over the years have
tried to disprove the Bible yet none has succeeded. The Lord of the bible has given us the right
of free will and free thought. We are
commanded to obey, yet we are not forced to obey. If we choose to go to hell in a hand basket,
we have been given that right. There are
always, however, consequences to disobedience.
Life is so much easier when we choose to submit to the Lord’s will. This doesn’t mean that we will always make
the right decisions, or that there won’t be bumps in the road. We have been
given the gift of free will. What we
need to determine is how we will use this gift.
Lucifer is the first one on record as making a poor decision and it cost
him his place in heaven. Adam and Eve
made a poor choice and it cost them paradise.
Not all of our decisions are this monumental. However, if He knows every hair on our
heads, then He knows our every decision.
You, in your lifetime, have probably made decisions that you can trace
to some form of loss. The choice is ours
– choose life!
Since hating others is without biblical authority and
justification, why would we hate? Hate
is a poor decision and sooner or later we will recognize it’s cost. Isn’t it better to love one another?

Chapter 11
IS THIS A CHRISTIAN NATION?
Is
this a Christian nation? Yes! The debate
is over. No one with the most basic
knowledge of the intentions of the founding fathers would ever challenge this
fact. Our nation’s leaders reaffirmed
this over and over, during the first hundred years. Other views are allowed to
exist in our midst because of the kindness of our Christian nation. We are guaranteed freedom of religion, not
freedom from religion. The founders
could not have imagined the attacks on Christianity to which we are presently
being exposed. Basic Judeo Christian
principals were a way of life. Presently
those principals are being challenged.
The
assault by the anti God, anti religion movements apparently don’t realize that
their right to do what they do is established, according to the founding
documents, by God. Quite naturally then,
if they are successful, they will loose what they are trying to accomplish. If
the Creator grants your rights and you don’t have a Creator, then you have no
rights. Study the cotton pickin’
paperwork!
If
you are one of those people, you are welcome to live here among us with the
views you hold. However, if you are one
of those who wish to take away our God given rights and our traditions, you are
welcome to leave and start your own country.
That is how we got started.
The
following in signage form has been posted around our nation and in some places
purposely placed to ridicule our traditions.

There

There

Religion

that
hardens hearts and

Chapter 12
The Government Is Not The United States
Here I am again, “a voice crying in
the wilderness”. At least that’s what it feels like. None is “so blind as he who will not
see”. The roots of our countries
problems started long ago and insidiously worked their way to the present dangers
we face. Yes, a lot depends on whose ox
is being gored.
In the beginning there were
dissenters, and over the years these dissenters have presented many faces. A percentage of our citizens wanted to remain
English. Today these dissenters have
gained the upper hand and their intention is to rebuild our country in their
image rather than abide by the dictates of our founding fathers.
As they’ve gained control of the ebb
and flow of the world’s money, controlling industry with scare tactics such as
global warming, and slowly chipping away at our individual freedoms, we are loosing
ground. There is already talk of a
multinational banking authority. The seeds of international law superseding our
own laws are being planted. Global
warming (although caused by fluctuations in solar radiation) is said to be
caused by man. While only a handful of
scientists still espouse this belief, unscrupulous politicians are using it in
an attempt to control various industries.
God forbid that we should listen to the thousands of scientists around
the world who say that man made global warming is simply not true. The planet has actually been getting cooler
since 1998.
The new stance of the United States
Remember, “It rains on the just and
the unjust all the same”. This could be
said to mean that what is imposed by the few covers us all. In other words we are all subject to each
other’s stupidity. Now we need to know
the difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the lack of the ability to use
knowledge.
Thomas Jefferson said, in essence,
that if the people with little to
23
loose ever found out how to vote themselves
that which belongs to others would cause the foundations on which this country
is based to shrivel and fall. This in my
opinion was why this country was set up as a republic rather then a
democracy. We, for instance, are not
guaranteed happiness, but rather the pursuit of happiness. We are not guaranteed success in business,
life or love, but rather have the right to try.
In our country, stupid politicians and other career government officials
apparently have decided that the pursuit of their happiness takes preeminence
over the welfare of our country, our citizens and our constitution. Many of these people have never had a real
job or have spent very little time in providing for themselves and their
families. Those who have been nurturing
at the fount of government plenty have, in their infinite wisdom, decided that
they know better than we how we should live our lives. This has been referred to as big
brother. As I have said in the past, our
country was founded on Judeo-Christian principals and removal of these
principals destroys the country.
I can’t imagine what life will be like
in our country in twenty years or so. I
probably won’t see all that much of what I fear come to pass as in all
probability I will be dead by then. I
really feel sorry for my children and grandchildren who will see the changes
and won’t live in the wonderful country in which I grew up. I know I sound pessimistic about the future,
but I judge what I see happening based on the changes I have already seen. Changes in the past have been slow and
insidious; whereas changes in the past ten to fifteen years have been occurring
exponentially. I, for example, was born
during World War II when we were truly “one nation under God”. Since the forties, and perhaps before, there
has been a concerted effort to remove all vestiges of the Christian God from
our consciousness. I lived in Baltimore
PETA is a good example of the evil,
which is rampant in today’s world. This
group values animal life more than human life.
Does this remind you of the Bible reference to those who worship the
creation rather than the creator? The
ACLU, under the guise of fighting for civil rights, has fought long and hard to
undermine the ideals of our country.
Those of us who have studied history
as well as His story realize that
24
the Bible is in essence a textbook on
life. On what do groups like the ACLU
and PETA base their moral judgments and reasons for being alive? Karl Marx said he was right, and he is
dead. Hitler said he was right, and he
is dead. Stalin said he was right, and
he is dead. Mohamed said he was right,
and he is dead. Buddha said he was
right, and he is dead. Jesus said he was
right and therein I rest my case. You
can base your life on the one true and living God, or some dead guy, or even
something you make up yourself. Therein lies the rub. The choice is up to you. Base your life on fact or fable; there are
consequences either way. The choice is
life or death – choose life.
My wife has greater wisdom than I
do. When I get all upset about what I
see happening, she reminds me that these things must take place before the Lord
can return. Isn’t it amazing how the
Lord provides for us in our hours of need?
We don’t like to see what is happening all around us, and yet it may all
be part of the plan. I can’t see where
the United States
Is it wrong of me to refer to those on
the far left as bastards just because they have no founding fathers? Apparently they have no moral fiber as
well. On April fifteenth of this year
there were about 750 gatherings across the nation to protest our out of control
government. They called them tea parties
in remembrance of the Boston
Because I believe in God, our
Constitution and other founding papers, love my country, served in the military,
own a gun, think that abortion is
25
wrong
under most circumstances, think that marriage is between one man and one woman,
I am now considered by some to be a right wing extremist. Who is it that thinks
that is what I am? Those who are so far
left in their thinking that they are blinded by anyone not also on the far
left. The category I really qualify for
is centrist. If you doubt this fact, you
need to reevaluate your own positions.
The vitriol in current political discourse is something that has to be
addressed. We can have different views
and we may not even understand the other’s position, but we don’t need to hate
each other.
In essence, what is happening in our country at the
present time is the silent majority is not being silent anymore. This worries both, those on the far right,
and the far left. This momentum of the
people may not succeed in producing anything that will save our nation, but by
God, I’m willing to help in the attempt.
26
Chapter 13
Who says Jesus is Lord?
The
angels do. The devil and all of his
minions do. The Bible says unequivocally
that Jesus is Lord. Everyone who has
passed on to a place other than heaven now knows. Everyone who has passed on and gone to heaven
knows. Our Father who art in heaven does
(this is My Son in whom I am well pleased).
The Holy Spirit is witness to this fact.
I do, and I know many born again folks who do also. Where do you stand?
It’s
easy to become born again into the kingdom of heaven. All you have to do is believe in your heart
that Jesus is Lord and has risen from the dead for the coverage of your
wrongdoings and then tell some other folks that you do believe (Romans 10:9-13)
and your are covered. The trick here is
the believing in your heart part. Only
the Holy Spirit can lead you to this understanding. Seek the Lord with all your heart and soul
and he will reveal Himself to you. You
can come to this realization either by the sky opening up with thunder and
lightning and great revelation or very matter of factly as I did by the yet
quiet voice of the Holy Spirit.
Before
I got married, my father in law, in essence, told me that I would be
responsible for my wife’s well being for the rest of her life. This is similar to Jesus for once we are grafted
into the family of God, He is held responsible for each of us for the rest of
our lives. The Father can only see us,
from that point on, through a veil of blood, which covers the wrongdoing, which
we have done and will continue to do throughout our lives. Becoming a Christian doesn’t by any means
make us perfect, just forgiven. There
are good Christians, not so good Christians, hypocritical Christians and those
who profess to be Christians that haven’t the faintest idea of what it means to
be a Christian
To
look all around and see all that God has created and believe that it is the
result of random luck or evolution is brain damage plain and simple. You wonder why the church (the body of
Christ) doesn’t seem relevant in your life – it’s because you are withdrawn
from it. The bible says that if we fail
to, the rocks will cry out the divinity of Christ. Do you suppose that there are those out there
that are dumber than a box of rocks?
27
In
Genesis 22:15 Abraham didn’t withhold his son, and the Lord provided the
sacrifice. In the same way, through the
line of Abraham, the Lord did not withhold His Son and approved of His Son’s
sacrifice to make it possible for us to obtain salvation through grace. Or would you rather work for it? Just remember in your efforts that the Bible
says; all have come short of the Glory of God.
None of us are perfect. We even
make mistakes in our everyday business and family lives. (Do you suppose that
God is a Presbyterian? They believe that
all things are predestined and things cannot be changed by man. God does know the beginning and the end you
know. He even knows what your final
decision is going to be.)
Ever
wonder where the bible came from? Yes it
was written by men over the centuries.
It first started as the passing down, generation to generation, by word
of mouth in the same way all of history was passed down. After that it was converted to the written
word. Since then it is somewhat easy to see that the writings have not changed
for at least thousands of years. How is
this possible? That also is easy to
see. Since the bible was written by holy
men under the influence of the Holy Spirit one could say that as in the writing
of the Ten Commandments, it was written by the finger of God. Over these many years there have been many
men who tried their best to prove the bible was wrong or at least
incorrect. Thus far the score is them
none and the bible 100%. Can any other
writings in the history of the world meet this challenge? As I see it, if you can’t put your trust in
the bible, what in the world is there to trust in?

Chapter 14
The Love Of God
I have recently been attending a church that reminds me of
the Jesus movement in the late sixties and early seventies. In those days we were centered on the love of
God, both from Him and toward Him. Even
in those days (and I suspect even today), many denominational churches when
confronted with a longhaired, sandal footed, hippie looking dude, would not let
him enter, even if His name was Jesus.
Jesus’ message is that God loves you and wants you in the family. Many denominational churches today have lost
the love factor. Thus, many people have
been hurt by church dogma. A pastor’s
wife once told me that a denomination is nothing but a monument to a dead
saint. The early church, I believe, was
much like the Jesus movement I mentioned above.
You could feel the Lord’s love and presence in the meetings. These Jesus freaks, as I remember, looked
like hippies as well as housewives, businessmen and soldiers. What they had in common was that they all had
the love of God inside of them.
There is no perfect church. There are no perfect Christians. Your walk with the Lord doesn’t have to be,
nor should it be the same as anyone else’s.
None is perfect, no not one (Romans 3:10 ). Judge not, lest you be judged (Matt.7:1). The kingdom of God kingdom of God kingdom of God kingdom of God

substance.
The Love of God is a wonderful and
glorious thing. God wants us to share
His love with others, not just love Him as He loves us. Love your wife, love your kids, and love your
neighbor (Mark 12:30-31). A Presbyterian
minister once said that the love of God is like a garden hose. You wouldn’t try to push the water back up
into the hose; you would spread it around so that things can grow. The flow won’t stop unless you turn off the
spigot. Can you feel the overflowing
Love of God in your church, or have time and man brought in things that pinch
off the flow? It’s not that God wants to
love you – He does love you. All you
have to do is realize it. Seek ye first
the kingdom of God
The pastor of the church I attended
was at a pastors’ meeting when one of the other attendees referred to his
church as an “introductory church”. This
apparently meant that our church had not yet matured. Could it be that this person had lost his
initial love and been overcome by churchliness.
There is a song that says “bring back the new again, I want to see
Jesus”. All churches should be
introductory churches. Their job is to
present the Gospel in a way that makes people want what the Lord has for them,
not bog people down in man made rules and regulations. There is enough of that in everyday
life.
Each person has a different
personality. Each person walks through
life at a different pace. Each Christian
has a different personality and pace.
God does not make cookie cutter Christians, and He doesn’t want you to
act that way. A person’s walk with the
Lord and growth in the Christian life may be far different from yours. Therefore, let your speech always be with
grace, seasoned with salt, that you my know how you should answer each one (
Col. 4:6 ) Christians are to be the salt
of the earth. Let the world savor life
through us, not be judged by us.
May the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Spirit. (Romans15:13)

Chapter 15
Traditional America
Traditional Americans
like my self are at a distinct disadvantage when dealing with today’s crop of
politicians. Our basic outlook is that
most people, regardless of political affiliation, are decent, honest and
trustworthy. That outlook causes us to
turn a blind eye to those who would purposely hurt our country, because we
can’t believe that anyone would be that rotten.
It’s time for us to wake up and smell the coffee. I recently heard the Democratic Party
described as a criminal organization posing as a political party. I personally
don’t lump all democrats into that group and additionally would say that many
republicans could be classified in the same manor. We seem to be overwhelmed these days with
rhetoric from both sides that is guiding us in the same direction. The “Political Class” seems to have taken off
in a direction diametrically opposed to what the majority of Americans want and
believe. You would think that over time,
the election process would weed out these scoundrels. I’m not big on conspiracy theories; however,
our election process does seem to be controlled by someone or something that
will only let certain people run for office.
Ever feel like you voted for the lesser of two evils? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a candidate that
you would really like to vote for; and you really knew who they were and what
they really believed?
What politicians say during elections used
to be known in religious circles as ‘evangelistically speaking’ (a lie to make
your story better). Wrong then and wrong
now. Politicians these days seem to be
more interested in maintaining their power base than serving the people. They forget that we don’t work for them; they
work for us.
Our founding fathers never thought that elected office
would be a career track, but rather a short-term way of being of service to the
country. What ever happened to the cry
for term limits? The current crop of
those in power such as President Obama and his group of Chicago
31
Democrats.
At this point I don’t know if, after this presidency is
over, their will be enough left of the real United States
Perhaps it’s time to bring God back into things. If the politicians knew they were going to
hell for what they are doing, they might change their ways.
If the end of the world, as we know it, is going to happen,
as many believe on December 21, 2012, what our government is doing to us now
won’t matter very much anyway. End of
the world, rapture, or whatever happens, I want to be on the right side. I, personally, am going to stay far away from
“hand baskets” while the rest of the country is going to hell in one.
The insidious movement to the left started long ago in the Wilson
How do we find out who and
what the people and organizations are who are responsible for what has happened
to our country? There must be some
on-going group directing things, or it couldn’t have been such an effective and
organized effort over so long a period of time.
As we all know, there are only two forces at work in the world – that of
good and evil. Since we also know who is
in charge of each of these forces we can see why things have
32
developed the way that they did. Over the years a concentrated effort has been
made to take God out of almost every aspect of our lives. So far, little step by little step, God has
been removed from our schools, church has been separated from the state and
attitudes toward Christian’s and their way of life are ridiculed in the arts
and the media. Guess what? This all had to happen before the Lord could
return. Have no doubt, He is coming
back. Elect Christian’s to political
office (like the founding fathers said to do), put God back in the schools
(where the founding fathers put Him) and in your everyday life. Maybe then we won’t be ashamed when the time
comes to look into the eyes of our redeemer.
What’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong. The choice is for life or death – chose
life.
The politicians work for us, not the other way around. The buffoon we have for a vice president once
said that he wasn’t elected to do the will of the people, but rather to use his
own good judgment. Apparently most of
our politicians now harbor this same opinion.
How dare they? They treat us
like we are sheep being led to the slaughter.
They treat our country like security doesn’t matter. They won’t secure our borders. They spend money and take on debt that our
grandchildren won’t be able to repay.
They live in more luxurious circumstances than the vast majority of our
citizens and have a package of perks that awe industry leaders. On top of that we pay them for the rest of
their lives. Surely there must be a
system of checks and balances in place that assures that these excesses are
punished, and the will of the people will prevail. Can anyone give me an example of one campaign
promise the President Obama has kept? He
ran on hope and change. So far all I can
see is change that has destroyed hope.
If you think I’m right, then God bless you. If you think I’m off my rocker, that’s all
right too. I’m open to discussion with both sides.
*I received the following
in an e-mail.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who
signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
33
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy.
He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. Remember: freedom is never free!

Chapter 16
Ole Tommy Jefferson
There seems to be some controversy over the
separation of church and state issue... Old Tommy Jefferson seems to be
the brunt of most of the misconceptions about it. IT IS NOWHERE IN THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATED OF AMERICA England US
Now when I say I love my wife - that doesn't mean I love all women in that way, although I do love all women in Christ. This does not mean that I am "interested" in other women. If, however, I was to write this fact to a Baptist church - I AM SURE that in 100 years or so the ACLU would take it to the Supreme Court and convince them that I was a “womanizer” in the same way they used old Tommy's letter to the Baptists. GET IT? Tommy never meant to take God out of the government- just to keep the government out of God's business.
In 1878, the Supreme Court in a case about polygamy used the phrase. The big disaster came in 1948 when the ACLU presented a friend of the court brief giving false info on the separation thing and a liberal judge put it in the record. The case was about the Klu Klux Klan being against the bussing of catholic students at the expense of the city. As you can see, once these sneaky folks get a toehold, it’s Katey bar the door. The bible warns us against being deceived by ourselves, others and the devil. I think that revisionist history qualifies as deception.
What got me into this was my son's reply to my "Traditional Americans" rant. He googled Thomas Jefferson on Wikipedia and found
35
false information about what Jefferson
meant by the separation thing. When I checked it out, I didn't see a
direct lie, however, like most liberals[1]
they lead you in a false direction on purpose - hoping you don't realize that
they are just being them selves. They can't help it. Most of these
people think with their emotions and facts mean little if any thing to
them. Just a suggestion - get your information from the horses mouth, not
the other end. There are plenty of writings available from the founding
fathers. “He cut and pasted pieces of
the New Testament together to compose a version that excluded any miracles by
Jesus, thereby focusing on "the pure principles which he taught" and
which has since been published as the "Jefferson Bible".”[2]
What Tommy really did was to cut and paste the New Testament to use
as a book to teach the "Indians" good moral principals to live
by. I sure hope that Tommy's burial vault has plenty of room for spinning.
36
Chapter 17
Once upon a time
Long, long ago and far, far away ------wait a moment; it wasn’t all that
long ago nor for that matter, all that far away. Millions upon millions of American citizens,
like me, were trained by our government to hurt people and break things in
order to defend and protect the constitution of our country from its enemies
both foreign and domestic. We took an
oath to that effect when we went into the service of our country and I don’t
remember our being absolved of that oath when we were mustered out of the
service. The key word to concentrate on
now would be domestic. Over and above
any threats from the outside world, there are dangerous things going on within
our boarders. Right now, today, as
somewhat to a lesser extent in the past there are forces at work in this
country diligently striving to dismantle all of the values we hold dear. Have you ever observed vultures tearing apart
a dead carcass? That is a good analogy
as to what those currently in power are attempting to do to our
constitution. You may not agree with me
but surely you will agree with what you see.
We have to keep in mind though, that there are those that are so blinded
in their hearts that they will not see.
What are the weapons that we have at
our disposal today in order to keep the oath we took? We can vote, we can pray, we can assemble, we
can demonstrate, and we can insist that our elected officials live up to the
oaths that they took. We can fight with
all legal means and diligence at our disposal, given to us by our
constitution. Our founding documents
state that God grants our rights and liberties, and that no men or governmental
decree can take them away. Our
constitution, as it was originally written, created our country unique in its
sovereignty. It does not need tuning up
or being overridden by international law.
Our country was created to be unique and exceptional as it would be One
Nation Under God.
“Now is the time for all good men to
come to the aid of their country”. It’s
time for the silent majority to raise our ugly heads and make our voices
heard. I started this off sounding like
a fairy tale because that’s what we’re being fed by those presently in
power…fairy tale after fairy tale. Ever
heard of bate and switch? How about
misdirection? How about “I’m mad as hell
and I’m not going to take it anymore”.
What we are up against is people
37
who harbor
disdain for anyone who disagrees with their efforts to redesign our
country. They are so self absorbed that
they can’t believe that anyone could see things differently than they do and
still be considered sane.
Keeping in mind that while we normally think in terms of liberal and
conservative, democrat or republican, globalists are a different category
altogether. They are so far left that
the real liberals don’t recognize them.
They have a plan that would interfere with their own rights as much as
ours. They have a problem seeing the forest for the trees. Their emotions get
in the way of reason. Perhaps I
shouldn’t lump all liberals into this same category because just as there are
moderate conservatives {traditionalists} such as myself, there are moderate
liberals. They are not all socialists
and Marxists. Those far left globalists
however seem to be very adept at pulling the wool over the eyes of a great many
of those who are less left. I have even
heard praise recently, by these people, for the National Socialist Party and
their success in overcoming an economic crisis in a European country in the
nineteen thirties. They either don’t
know history, or choose to ignore it, the same way they ignore the truth. Facts don’t seem to mean very much to these
people, which could be the reason they don’t mind bending the truth. Does Zig Heil mean anything to anyone?
I have been told that it’s all about the money; that it’s not ideology
behind what is going on but rather greed.
I know that the love of money is the root of all evil, but I have a hard
time believing that there are those that would destroy the greatest nation in
the history of the earth simply to enrich themselves. I would not judge some one as a traitor who
was being lead by their belief system, no matter how different than mine. However, one who was inspired simply by
filthy lucre would engender a somewhat stronger reaction. Our forefathers paid
too high a price, and our heroes since have paid too dearly for us to let our
freedoms be squandered. “The essential
principles of our Government... form the bright constellation which has gone
before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.
The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their
attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic
instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and
should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to
retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty
and safety."[3]
38
There is a vast difference between righteous indignation and unreasoned
anger. It is my opinion that those
presently in power are trying to make us ‘street rat crazy’ so that we may be
easily dismissed. We must think like Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther
King, Jr. when confronted by people like these.
Acorn, the unions and other groups are out there with the express
purpose of inciting us to riot. If we do
– they win.
Things
we should remember when inserting our selves into the public discourse.
{1} If I
speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a
resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. {2}. Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {3} It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered… {4} Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. {5} It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres. {6} Love never fails., {7} When I was a child, I
talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I
became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
{Some quotes from 1 Corinthians 13}
I once had
life explained to me by a professor of psychology. He said all things could be explained by
thinking in terms of little children arguing and fighting on the
playground. Let us put away our childish
ways and stand like adults against the tyranny we face. "If we ever
forget that we're One Nation under God, then we will be a nation gone
under."[4]
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form
of tyranny over the mind of man."[5]
If I
remember right, Readers Digest used to be written on a sixth grade level so
that most people could cope with reading it.
The congressional bills are written in such legalese and mumbo jumbo
that they are almost impossible to understand.
Think there might be a reason for this?
If we can’t get those whom we pay to know what is in the bills to read
them, where do we go from here? How dare
they vote on something they haven’t read and therefore don’t know what it
contains. Chimpanzees can do that and
they are a lot cheaper to maintain. “In
a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Therefore: 1. In time, every post
39
tends to be occupied by an
employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties. 2. Work is accomplished by
those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.”[6] Isn’t number one what we have in congress
today?
“If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle
under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care
nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will
inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get
re-elected. Shame on you. One of
the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say
anything derogatory about any group of people {except Christians} you are going to be screamed at by the media and
called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call
you
Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and
rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless, gonad less, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.”[7]

"To secure these [inalienable] rights [to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness], 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
abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect
their safety and happiness."[8]
Remember that from the heart the mouth speaks. We must keep our hearts in the love mode and
our fists open. The same God that created
you created the ones that are responsible for what is happening today. A civil discourse on our part will let the
Lord work on their hearts. At the same
time, they should know we are coming. You that would overturn our nation; we
are coming for you.
“In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is
not some right wing,
40
Christian afterthought. We declare this because Christians
founded this nation, on Judeo Christian principles and this is clearly
documented. “The God who gave us life
gave us liberty at the same time.”[9]

Chapter 18
What’s wrong America
Eric Massa, Democrat
representative, NY said “I will vote adamantly against the interests of my
district…..I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help
them.” This is a statement similar to
that made by our Vice President, Joseph Biden, during the Judge Bork
confirmation hearings. He stated that he
was not elected to do the will of the people, but rather to use his own good
judgment. He said his mail and phone calls were running 87% in favor of Judge
Bork, but he was going to vote against his confirmation.
Since what we are supposed to have is
a representative government (Think maybe that’s why it’s called the house of
representatives?), I use the above illustrations to show the contempt that some
of our representatives have for their constituents. If they truly have had an epiphany, they
should let us in on the wonderful revelation.
Barring that, they should either resign or be run out of office. What better examples could you have of
malfeasance in office, abuse of power, and self-righteousness, and down right
arrogance?
The seeds of revolution are
everywhere: disruption of town meetings, tea party gatherings, floods of phone
calls and e-mail to elected officials.
Average Americans have taken to the streets, not community organizers,
but real American citizens. What is the
response of those who are against the American people? Intimidation, physical and verbal assaults,
and a general belittling of these Americans in the media, as well as face to
face, with the elected officials and their thugs. Community organizer is an innocuous term for
people who use intimidation and violence to further their cause. They use the tactics of the union organizers
of old. They are at least partially
responsible for the financial trouble the country is in now. They used their tactics to intimidate banks
and other institutions to give below prime mortgages among other things.
What is wrong with us? Are there not a few good men and women who
will run for office and not be corrupted?
The sheer arrogance of those in office is truly overwhelming.
42
The present crop of those in power is
so arrogant and elitist that they truly believe they know how you should live
your life better than you do. Only they
know how to make us little sheep happy.
They, collectively, have robbed us repeatedly over the years by diverting
funds that should have been set aside for the future, and now we have to worry
that the programs we count on will even be solvent when we need them. We are partially responsible for their
superiority complex because we have treated them like celebrities. They have a better retirement plan than the
people they represent. They have a
better health plan than the people they represent. They have an income much higher than the
majority of the people they represent.
They have a package of perks that are the envy of most high-ranking
business executives. What does this all
amount to? I say it is equivalent to
robbery from the people of the United
States of America
I know all this sounds very negative,
and I am sorry if I have offended some of you good people. The good news is that we don’t have to pay
back the money that our government is borrowing and printing. That dubious honor will fall to our children
and grandchildren.
43
Chapter 19
A New Wall
Angry?
You bet I’m angry! Our parents
and grandparents worked hard all their lives because they wanted us to have a
better life than they did. Now our out
of control government is in the process of thwarting their efforts.
Just
as the myth of the wall of separation between church and state never existed in
the way it is being interpreted today, another wall is in the process of being
erected. The new wall is the separation
of the people and the state. Mister
Obama, Tear down that wall! You work
for the people; the people don’t work for you.
OK, lets get this out of the way right
now – Do I think that President Obama is the antichrist? No, I don’t think he is smart enough. The petulant child that is our president
could never lead the world. I think that
his handlers are expert at making it look like he is in charge much the same
way that Chicago United
States
The
world is now in the phase of biting the hand that feeds it. What in the world is going on? We are setting up a system where with Cap and
44
Trade,
even our farmers are going to be taxed out of existence. So much for the breadbasket of the
world. Our farmers in California
The battleground is set. It’s time to take up arms with the sword of
the spirit and vote. Either the election of November 2010 is going to be the
turning point, or the end of our great country.
I just pray that there will be people that I can vote for in good
conscience. People that will restore the
country rather than ruin it for all time.
We need to stop this stuff like healthcare reform that is nothing more
than a government power grab. Things like Cap and Trade, which is nothing more
than a taxation power grab based on really bad science.
It’s
time for each of us to stand up for America
If we want to live like a sheep the
government will gladly tell us where we can live, how large your fenced in area
is, what you can eat, when you can eat, and when the lights get turned
out. Progressives think they know better
how the rest of us should live our lives.
Anyone that doesn’t believe what they do, are looked upon as misguided
children. That is called “The conceit of
the self anointed.”[10]
They are more than willing to help you even if you don’t see the error of your
ways. Food, water, money, energy and
health care control your life, like it or not.
Do you want to control your own life or have the government do it for
you? Giving the government control over
these things will give it control over your life.
Modern progressives are the founders
of Eugenics, abortion on demand, several forms of segregation, removal of God
from our institutions, destruction of the sanctity of marriage, loss of
parental rights, destruction of
45
our
economy, limiters of the development of our natural resources and energy, and
limitations on our God given liberties, among other things. Now the administration has decided to attack
free speech. In an unprecedented move,
the white house had declared war on Fox News, apparently in an attempt to
control their content. I have lived long
enough, seen enough, and studied enough to know that Fox News is not a right
wing organization. Fox News is the
closest thing we have available to a centrist news outlet. The bulk of the news outlets have moved so
far left that Fox News looks right wing by comparison. I, except for the Internet, can’t find a
right wing news outlet. President
Kennedy would be considered right wing by today’s standards. Reporters, in times gone by, at least tried
to hide their bias when working. Today
in many cases their bias is often the story they report. In days gone by, reporters took pride in
reporting the facts, not promoting an agenda.
If a network were to develop that was as far right as most are left leaning,
they would be excoriated. It really is
comical to watch the left leaning media attack Fox News without presenting any
examples to back their charges, and then to watch Fox obliterate their
credibility with the facts. Even the
White House charges them with innuendo and falsehood, only to be confronted by
the facts on Fox. If you are watching
any network news outlet other than Fox you are not getting a clear picture of
what is happening to our country. If I
remember the figures correctly, seventy percent of the people in network news lean
to the left. What’s even worse is that
about eighty percent of those involved with higher education are the same.
What is wrong with the average
American? Do we all have our eyes
closed? Are we all so self-absorbed in
our every day lives that we would let our freedoms slip away without
noticing? Over the years many of our God
given freedoms have been eroded bit by bit.
Most people haven’t noticed the subtle changes over time. What better time than now to go back and read
our founding documents? These documents
state what our government cannot do as well as what it should do. The President is right that redistribution of
wealth is not addressed in these documents.
Redistribution of wealth would then have been, and today is,
unconstitutional. Most of all we need to
know what the limitations of the government are when it concerns our
rights. If our Constitution is really a
“living document” then I want to hear it breathe and see it move. Our Constitution is in reality an
absolute. There are those that refuse to
believe this fact because of their propensity toward their own agendas. Don’t fall
46
for
their twisted thinking. They are not
working for your betterment. If you can
quote chapter and verse from our founding documents you can win every challenge
to your rights. If you are ignorant of
what is in them you are subject to anyone’s whim and fancy. When it comes down to it, “Why would you want
to be politically correct when you can be right?”[11]
Why does the Bible tell us to respect
our elders? Perhaps it is because we
elders have been around longer, done more and seen more than those who at
present are age handicapped; or in today’s vernacular, been there - done
that. Why can’t our children learn from
our mistakes? I try to teach my children
what the country was founded on and what really matters in their lives. They were blessed to be born into a country
with a Christian foundation and a family with the same foundations. I know all
about the young and the restless. I was
a rebellious youngster myself. As the
Bible says though, over the years I came back to the foundations I was exposed
to and have become more steadfast in those ideals. The Christian principals that are the
foundation of our nation don’t make us all Christians; however, I believe that
we are obligated to recognize that these principals are the reason our country
has prospered.
Apparently, that which we feared most
has come upon us. The hippy movement of
the sixties has either been taken over or merged with the progressive
movement. That tiny movement (percentage
wise) of the sixties that infuriated most of us so much seems to have taken
over while most of us were busy living our lives. These people think with their emotions
instead of their minds. In their hearts
they think they can save you from yourself.
Several things have emerged that verify this is true.
1.
Banning of trans fats and the proposed extra taxes on sugar based sodas and
fruit drinks. Did anyone believe that
fast food outlets were health food stores?
2.
A twenty-dollar increase on the cost of a carton of cigarettes. How many years did our government subsidize
the tobacco industry?
3.
Government mandates on the size and mileage of cars. Will one of the smart cars hold your
family? Who wins in a crash, smart car
or pickup truck?
4.
Talk of carbon credits for families that will limit themselves to one
child. How many of you wouldn’t be here
today? Think about it, were you the
first born?
47
5. Bogus global warming scare to increase the
cost of energy. Only fools still believe
that man causes global warming. The
overwhelming evidence proves that carbon dioxide has little or no effect on
global temperatures and in fact it is essential to life. Global climate change is the new mantra since
for the past ten years the planet has been cooling. If you would like to be personally
responsible for bringing about the one world government as described in the
Bible, be in favor of “Cap and Trade” as well as “Global Climate Change”
legislation and treaties.
6.
Limitations on water usage for trumped up reasons. The elixir of life is needed to grow crops,
breed and raise live stock as well as taking care of our everyday needs.
I have attempted here to raise the
call to action. If you care at all about
the quality of life for yourselves and your children at least heed the call to
study and find out what is going on. At
a minimum find out what the country was founded on and why. If you don’t know what your rights are, you
won’t know when you loose them.
48
Chapter 20
Where Is The Shame?
We call them entitlements, yet what makes us entitled to
them? Did we earn the right to have them
like working people did with Social Security?
“We are stealing from our children and claim we are entitled to it”.[12] By what right are we entitled to the income
of our children? Apparently, those we
have elected to office have decided that they are entitled to reelection by
giving large entitlements to those who haven’t earned them.
‘We the people’ need to start rebelling against “this
system, which we has been imposed upon us”.[13] It is essential for those of us who call
ourselves Christian to admit our share of blame for what has happened to our
country. We didn’t stand by the
principals on which our country was founded.
We have allowed the enemy to remove God from His rightful Place of
authority over this country. We did not
believe that those evil ones who have appeared on the scene could possibly be
successful. It is a fact that in Nazi
Germany, the Jews were forbidden to celebrate Hanukkah. This was a precursor to the holocaust. In that same manner, today, there are those
who would separate church and state (despite constitutional restrictions
against the free exercise thereof) in our schools, government offices, parks
and other areas prohibiting the celebration of our heritage like Christmas and
Easter. “First
they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a
communist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak
out—because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did
not speak out—because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me—and there was no
one left to speak out for me.”[14]
“It’s
time to take the ‘do not disturb’ sign off of the church”.[15] We, as Christian’s are constantly under siege
from the enemy for our beliefs, our actions and for the principals upon which
our country was founded. Has there ever
been another nation on the face of this earth, which could be truly
49
called a Christian nation? If you are not under attack by the enemy you
need to consider whether it’s because you are too strong for him, or if you are
just so wishy washy that you are not worth his time. Middle
America , the silent majority or whatever you wish to call it.
needs to wake up.
Since
our schools were originally set up to teach the Bible and reading so that the Bible
could be read, we never dreamed that the Bible could be banned from our
schools. Higher education was
established to promote the development of the clergy. Why do you think that schools like Yale,
Harvard and Princeton were founded? The history books used today have been
rewritten to remove our nation’s relationship with God. Think I’m kidding? Get your children to bring home their books
(if they are allowed to do so) and read them.
Then compare them to the textbooks from years gone by. It’s about time, in this country, that we
realize that God is not the enemy but rather those who seek to remove Him from
the public forum. I realize that we are
probably living in the end times and that certain things have to happen before
the Lord can return, but we don’t have to be an active participant in that
which is wrong.
Correct me if I’m wrong in saying that the Bible has never been
proven factually wrong. Many have tried
to do so and thus far none has been able.
How then has the enemy been able to discredit the Bible and its
teachings? Archeology has for many years
been uncovering things which prove that the Bible is accurate despite those
things in the Bible that seem preposterous to some. Does the other side have anything
comparable? Yes, I know that it is by
faith that we are believing. Which are
you going to choose to believe? The
Bible, which was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, or some book
containing revionist history? The Bible
is His story, not our story. If you
don’t think so, let me see you create something from nothing, show me the
missing link, or die for my sins.
Time and value are only relevant to us – not God. A little boy asked God how long was a
second. God answered, “A million
years”. The boy asked how much was a
penny and God said “One million dollars”.
The boy asked God would you give me a penny and God said, “Just a
second” (I got this story from David Jeremiah).
Since with God, a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a
day, how many seconds do you think it took Him to fashion the earth? Does this compare in and way to that fellow
50
Darwin who they say recanted his theory toward
the end of his life?
Glenn Beck is not Chicken Little. He has been bringing out many facts about our
governments actions and intentions. He
even gave the white house a special phone number to call in order to correct
anything he was saying that was wrong.
So far, nary a call. You are not
Chicken Little if what you are saying is true.
You are not paranoid if someone really is after you. Well, the present government and those
associated with it really are after us.
They are doing everything they can to destroy our God and our
country. Note that I am not blaming the
democratic or republican parties, as it is the entire government that seems to
be at fault.
Our
ability to fend for ourselves is being looked on as negative. The socialists think that they can make
better decisions for our lives than we can.
I take that back! They don’t
think they can, they are self-assured that they can. Instead of letting the voters decide, they
are shoving their agenda forward despite the will of the people. Cap and trade
and socialized medicine, among others, are designed the take away the will of
the people. If they and get us dependent
enough and desperate enough to ask for their help they will win. They don’t
care that they are destroying the greatest nation on earth. It’s about time that we began to fight to get
God and individual responsibility back into our lives. If we don’t and it all slips away – the shame
is on us!
51
Chapter 21
First thoughts for 2010
1. ”We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is
Caesar’s. but under no circumstances
will we render to Caesar what is God’s”[16]
In the same manner, I will not render to the progressives those things that are
the foundations of our nation.
2. Christianity is under attack by Hollywood
3. Would you trust mankind, a relatively poor source, to supply
your needs, or wouldn’t it be better to trust the infinite God of the universe
with whom you have no choice but to trust with your eternal soul?[17] “Honor the Lord with your possessions (substance)
and with the first fruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled
with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”[18] “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good
measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over shall men give
unto your bosom.”[19]
Why
do you let the wicked prosper? This was
one of the questions that King David had for God. Our nation has, over the years, had its share
of the wicked. Never have I contended
that we were perfect. Robber barons,
political deviants, power hungry politicians and various unsundry and
52
unsavory moneygrubbers have
come and gone. We have however,
developed into the greatest nation in the history of the earth. We have fed more people, liberated more
people, and helped more people than any other nation in the history of the
world. “The rains fall on the just as
well as the unjust.”[20] In other words, into every life a little rain
must fall. Perhaps that which is not the
best sometimes makes us appreciate that which is better. You sometimes have to walk through the valley
to appreciate the mountaintop.
“We never learn to live until we learn to forgive. We never learn to forgive until we learn how
greatly we have been forgiven”.[21] “Freely ye have received, freely give.”[22]
4. With 65% of the people against the healthcare redistribution
of wealth plan and 30% in favor, we should vote in the same percentages. Since a political win of 60% percent is
considered a landslide, a defeat of 65% for all those who vote for it would
send a real message to Washington Wilson
administration was the beginning of progressivism in the United States Wilson Wilson
5. The recent sixty to forty votes in the senate were touted to
be a victory for healthcare. The
Democrat party was not able to obtain any Republican
53
votes, and had to bribe several of its own
members to get the 60 votes necessary.
These bribes were accomplished with our tax dollars. Isn’t it nice to know that our employees are
so confident in their job security that they will vote for things we don’t want
and even spend more of our hard earned tax dollars to have their way? Does the word corruption come to mind?
6. Common decency is also under attack. “In short, in Scott Brown we have an
irresponsible homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex nude model, tea bagging
supporter of violence against women and politicians with whom he disagrees.”[23] Scott Brown was running as a republican in
the senatorial race in Massachusetts
54
Chapter 22
Civil Disobedience
How civil must we be in our disobedience? Since it is treasonous to ignore the foundations
of our nation, is it morally right to obey those restrictions set up by those
who would usurp our ability to function the way our founders intended? To disobey those laws, set up by those who
would restrict our God given rights, is the duty of every American
citizen. This is known as protest. Generally speaking, we Americans have been
real wimps while our freedoms have been whittled away. “We hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty
55
The
following bracketed section was taken directly from the Declaration of
Independence, with only slight alterations and changing the names to protect
the innocent. Read this section and
consider its relevance to our present day political situation.
[The
history of the recent administrations is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these United
States
They have refused their
Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
They have insisted
that their legislators pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless
suspended in their operation till their Assent should be obtained; and when so
suspended, they have utterly neglected to attend to them.
They have refused to
pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the public forum,
a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
They
have called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and
distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of
fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
They
have dissolved Representative Houses to one party repeatedly, for opposing with
manly firmness their invasions on the rights of the people.
They have refused
for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected,
whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the
People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time
exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
They have endeavored
to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the
Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage
their legal migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations
of Lands.
They
have obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his recognition of
Laws for establishing Executive Powers.
They have made the
people dependent on their will alone for the stimulus package, and the amount
and payment of their salaries buy escalating the unemployment rate.
They have erected a
multitude of New Offices, and sent
56
hither swarms of Officers, known as czars to
harass our people.
They are attempting
to keep among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our
legislatures.
They have affected
to render the executive and legislative branches independent of and superior to
the will of the people.
They have combined
with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended
Legislation:
For quartering large
bodies of progressives among us:
For protecting them,
by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the
Inhabitants of these States:
For interfering with
our Trade with all parts of the world by devaluation of our dollar:
For imposing debt on
us without our Consent:
For depriving us in
many cases, of the benefit of military supervision of war criminals:
For transporting our
navy seals beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For planning to
abolish the free System of American Laws in a world court or United Nations
situation:
For taking away our
Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the
Forms of our Governments with fundamental change:
The progressives
would suspend our own Legislatures and declare themselves invested with power
to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
They are abdicating
Government here, by declaring us out of touch and waging domestic war against
us.
They are plundering
and destroying the lives of our people.
They are at this
time transporting large Armies of union workers and community organizers to
complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy administration of a civilized nation.
They have
constrained our legislators to vote for legislation, or be bribed to do so, to
their liking despite the will of the people:
They have excited
domestic insurrections amongst us, and
57
have endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of
our tea parties, the merciless political parties, in an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
They even tried to get out citizens to spy on each other for any
personal dissention.
In every stage of
these Oppressions We have demonstrated for Redress in the most humble terms:
Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince,
whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit
to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting
in attentions to our progressive brethren. We have warned them from time to
time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed
to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties
of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably
interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the
voice of justice and of consanguinity. Many have been “voting their own
conscience” rather than the will of their constituents. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity, which would be to vote against each and every one of them.
We, therefore, the
people of the United States of America, in General agreement, Assembled as it
were in the streets (tea parties), appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world
for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the
good People of this country, solemnly publish and declare, That these United
states are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent, that they are
Absolved from all Allegiance to the present administration, and that all
political connection between them and us, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Free and Independent citizens, we have full Power to levy War,
conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other
Acts and Things which Independent people may of right do by installing new
legislators. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on
the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.]
I challenge you to find very much difference between our present government
and the complaints about the King of England.
Today’s progressives are attempting to replace our constitutional law
with their ever evolving and transforming brand of laws. The courts are ruling based on precedent
rather than constitutional law. This
movement seems to transcend party lines as all political parties are infected
58
with these progressive ideals.
“Demon’s
would make pretty good church members.
They believe in Jesus, they believe in scripture, they saw the death
burial and resurrection of Christ, and know that the Church is the hope of the
world. But there is one problem. They will not submit to the Lordship of Jesus
Christ.”[27] Where do you stand? Are you walking through life with head
knowledge you have never acted on?
Regardless of your state of knowledge, there is one simple step that
makes it all come together. See Roman’s
10:9-13 in the ‘instruction book’[28]. In the same way our elected officials know of
the existence of our founding documents but seem not to be willing to submit to
their authority. Remember folks,
elections are coming up. It is our civic
duty to replace the current elected officials with some that will believe in
the American system.
Overall
we must remember that “Less with God’s blessing is worth a lot more than more
without it.”[29]
59
Chapter 23
Abortion
There is no need whatsoever for an abortion clinic to
exist. If there is a real medical need
for an abortion, it should be done in a hospital where they used to be
performed. Those medical personnel that
believe like I do would not have a problem under that system. Abortion on demand is murder straight
up. Abortion is a legitimate medical
procedure that, as far as I know, was never against the law. Abortion on demand is nothing more than
birth control used as a substitute due to laziness. There are many forms of birth control that
are much easier, cheaper and less complicated.
What about Choice? Do you really
want to go there? If there was no choice
in the causation of the pregnancy, it wasn’t sex, it was rape. Since rape is not in God’s plan, it must
therefore be considered to be from the only other power in the universe. There are those wonderful women that chose to
keep the child that is a product of rape which proves two things. 1. Good can result from evil plans if God’s
people choose to make the effort. 2. The
devil cannot create anything on his own, so he has to pervert that which the
Lord has established. Life is
established and begins at the moment of conception. There is no question left about this
fact. “Apart from God, there is no
meaning in life.”[30] Oops, is not, in my opinion, a reason to end
a viable life, and that is what abortion on demand really amounts to.

birth control. Another story I would like to relate involves
an abortion clinic in North Carolina
Healthcare workers, with a fervent belief that abortion on
demand is a crime or a sin, are told that they need to find other employment.
There really is a growing crisis in this country, and that is the lack of
sufficient supply of qualified personnel.
Taxpayers, regardless of their beliefs, are being told that they will be
funding abortion on demand. I believe
that these same healthcare workers and taxpayers would have no problem with
abortion being performed for instances such as rape, incest, miscarriage,
health of the mother, baby died in the womb and perhaps some other
circumstances - real, legitimate medical reasons.
Margaret Sanger, the hero of the Planned Parenthood
movement, is very seldom fully explained.
She was indeed concerned about the plight of those people who were being
saddled with an over abundance of children.
Birth control was needed very much, if only to keep the women
alive. When abortion on demand became
the law of the land, I was told by a close relative that it was a good idea
because whites would never do it, and it would keep down the population of the
blacks. Well as it turns out, that was
one of Margaret Sanger’s reasons as well.
Some of her other reasons were,
to limit the population of the poor and the retarded and physically
handicapped. Eugenics was also one of
her areas of concern. Hitler, and some
others, joined right in with her. Just
another example of how progressives will do anything to control lives.
Keep in mind the “...life, liberty and the pursuit...”[31] “…I set before you life and death, blessings
and curses. Now choose life….”[32]

Chapter 24
The Battles Are Engaged
What makes our country great is “ordinary people accomplishing
extraordinary things.”[33] Individual incentive and ingenuity has been
the driving engine of America
“Everyone has faith in something, which faith affects his
understanding of everything.
Rationalism, naturalism, materialism, secularism and atheism are all
based upon evolutionism“[34]
You have to do away with the creator to justify that kind of reasoning.
Atheism is thumbs down while humanism is middle finger up. Atheism says down with God while humanism
says up with man, ‘like it or not’. What
is your world and life view? Secularism
means only of this world and life as conceived without any relationship to the
eternity of God. What is really unconscionable
is that there are no limits to what these people will do to accomplish their
ends.
“The
classroom must and will become and arena of conflict, between the old and the
new, the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all it’s adjacent evils
and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent with it’s promise of a
world in which the never realized Christian ideal of Love thy neighbor will be finally
achieved. The teacher must become as
zealous as the most fundamental evangelist in propagating this faith to every
student. They may learn about God and
heaven in Sunday school but five days a week we have them right here in our
schools. I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged
and won in the public school classrooms by teachers who correctly perceive
their role as the proselytizers of a new faith, a religion of humanism. “[35] “We have an obligation to expose and attack
the world of religious miracles, magic, Bible worship, salvationism, heaven,
hell and all mythical deities.
62
We
should be particularly specific and energetic in attacking such quack
millennialists as Billy Graham and such embattled reactionaries as the Pope,
because they represent the two greatest anti-Humanist aggregates in our
society.”[36]
“Let us think of
education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of
us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into
benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.”[37] “Liberty without
learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain.”[38]
“Since the Supreme Court ruled that
Secular Humanism is a religious belief, aren’t secularists trying to force
their religious views on the rest of us by outlawing God from the public square?”[39] If Secular Humanism is a religion, as defined by the Supreme Court,
then they are teaching their religion in our schools where Christianity is not
allowed to be taught. Where is the
separation they say they believe in?
Saul Alinsky, on the dedication page
of his book ‘Rules for Radicals’, says that he dedicated the book to Lucifer,
the first one who rebelled against the establishment and won his own
kingdom. “Ridicule is man’s most potent
weapon. It is almost impossible to
counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates
the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”[40] Fear, anger, intimidation and violence, when
it suits their purpose, seem to be the battle cry of the progressives. Our job is to study their tactics in
preparation to go up against them.
General Patton told people that he beat Rommel because he read Rommel’s
book on battle strategy.
“Many believe that we are a 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.”[41] “(NAFTA)
63
is not a conventional trade agreement, but the
architecture of a new international system.”[42] President Obama’s call for fundamental change
is terrifying to those of us who understand the Constitution.
Builderberger’s, Illuminati, Council
on Foreign Relations, Skull and Bones, Mason’s, Rothschild’s, International
Monetary Fund, New World Order, among others, are names that have been bantered
about for years as conspiratorial organizations that are trying to take over
the world. Today we have to add the
progressive movement which has been at the forefront and perhaps involved
and/or connected to these other organizations.
One of our biggest problems today is
that we have so many areas where we are under attack. From without, it is Moslem fundamentalism,
internationalists, the world economic crisis and those other nations that don’t
hold our best interests at heart. From
within it seems to be some of our own people who would undermine our
constitution to achieve their ends.
Those who are against our Constitution and way of life will use any
means at their disposal. The will ruin
our economy, try to control every facet of our lives, do their best to
establish their revisionist version of our history, and even use our children
against us through their indoctrination in the school system. This can only be accomplished however, if we
are not diligent. If you look at the
freedoms we have lost over the last fifty years, you can see we haven’t been
all that diligent. We need to study the
foundations of our great nation and act on them in order to secure our future
the way our founders intended.

Chapter 25
Why Do I Rant?
I have been told that my rantings are too religious
and political. OK! And your point is? I write these things as a voice crying in the
wilderness about that which I am most concerned. My greatest concerns are the attacks upon our
Christian nation and even our Christianity are under from the anti God folks
and those would destroy our nation. I
understand that the Bible says that these bums will appear to win, at least for
a while. This same Bible also describes
the final outcome for these folks.
What is a sin? A sin is anything that separates you from
God. It is a testament to the
stubbornness of man that the experts estimate that only twenty percent of people
will be saved in the end. It’s not that
God doesn’t want to save you but rather your holier than Him attitude. The same attitude Lucifer had that got him
expelled from heaven. As I have stated
before, there is no cure for stupid.
The Lord, Jesus ‘The
Christ’, revealed Himself to me in 1967.
The Holy Spirit revealed Himself to me in 1978. Perhaps one day I will reveal the
circumstances of these two events.
Suffice it to say, once the truth has been revealed to you, there is no
turning to past thought processes.
Sometimes I get quirked over silly things. When people say that they found the Lord or
they found the Holy Spirit when they were there beside them all the while, I
have to wonder. He knew you from the
moment of your conception. "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb.”[44] Just one more instance of man taking credit for an act
of God. The Bible says that the rocks
will cry out to proclaim the lordship of Jesus and, the Lord will reveal
Himself to anyone who seeks Him.
The American people wanted change; however, Obama’s change
is turning out to be loose change. Loose
change in this instance is by definition the same as loose cannon. How is the hope and change thing working out
for you? We were obviously lied to during
the election process. We are continually
lied to and mislead by both sides of the isle.
The question is what are we going to do about it now? You can deny that you
65
were duped, claim that this is what you really
wanted, stick your head back in the sand, or recognize what is really going
on. We must realize that we are not just
one vote but rather we are “We the People”. “United we stand, divided we fall”[45]. This counteracts the opposition movement to
divide and rule.
Saul Alinsky was, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous
men in American history. He has been
referred to as he father of the modern progressive movement. Saul Alinsky, on the
dedication page of his book ‘Rules for Radicals’ stated that he dedicated the
book to Lucifer, the first one who rebelled against the establishment and won
his own kingdom. “Ridicule is man’s most
potent weapon. It is almost impossible
to counterattack ridicule. Also, it
infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”[46] “Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic
Radicals is the last book written by community organizer
Saul D. Alinsky before his death in 1972.
Published in 1971, it was Alinsky's attempt to impart his theory and methods of
organizing to the current generation of young activists, largely drawing upon
his own experiences.”[47]
In
an article in the New York Times Mr. Alinsky is quoted – “Don’t worry if they
call you names: The job of the organizer is to
maneuver and bait the establishment so that it will publicly attack him as a
“dangerous enemy.” ... Here again we find that it is power and fear that are
essential to the development of faith. This need is met by the establishment’s
use of the brand “dangerous,” for in that one word the establishment reveals
its fear of the organizer, its fear that he represents a threat to its
omnipotence. Now the organizer has his “birth certificate” and can begin. The first step: The organizer dedicated to changing
the life of a particular community must first rub raw the resentments of the
people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to
the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues,
rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not
concerned enough to act. “[48] “Saul Alinsky, the
66
organizers, most famously
the current president, could not have been more clear about which side he was
on. In his 1971 text, “Rules for Radicals,”…”[49]
Mr. Alinsky, who died in 1972, explains his purpose: “What follows is for those
who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be.
‘The Prince’ was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power.
‘Rules for Radicals’ is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” [50]
Several prominent national
leaders have been influenced by Alinsky's teachings, including Barack Obama,
Wade Rathke
and Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton's
senior honors thesis, written at Wellesley College,
was on Saul Alinsky. Wade Rathke is the co-founder of the Association of
Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and Service Employees International Union
(SEIU) Local 100. Andy Stern, the present President of the SEIU, said
that if he can’t get his way using the power of persuasion, he will use the
persuasion of power. Alinsky is often credited
with laying the foundation for the grassroots
political organizing that dominated the 1960s. Jack Newfield writing in the New York Magazine
included Alinsky among "the purest avatars of the
[populist] movement," along with Ralph Nader,
Cesar Chavez,
and Jessie Jackson.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”[51] “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is
a reproach to any nation.”[52]
As you may have noted, I labeled Alinsky as dangerous. I did this because I really do feel that he
and his followers are truly trying to take away all that we hold dear and
sacred. Our founding documents seem to
mean nothing to them. Our faith means
nothing to them. Our country, and all it
stands for, means nothing to them. What
they have failed to realize is that the American people are beginning to awaken
to their agendas. They do not, as we do,
love our country, our God and our families.
What they are starting to see is that the American people are a fiercely
independent and resilient people. It is
my belief that we will eventually regain our country, our freedoms and our
rights. My sincere hope is that we will
not have to
67
suffer too much at their
hands before our recovery. Our founding
fathers paid a very high price in starting this nation. I hope that we are willing to sacrifice as
much to reestablish what they gave to us.
I have included some web pages below so that you can find the ammunition
you need to further our cause.

Chapter 26
The Progressives
We win! You may not think so, but the progressives
have really messed up this time. They
have gotten the health care bill passed which is the first step in making us
completely dependent upon them. If they
are successful in their agenda, we will have nothing left. Therefore, the only ones left that have
money, or anything else of value, will be the political class. Since their plan is for the rich to be taxed
to pay for everything and they will be the only ones left to tax, they will
have to pay for our healthcare and everything else. I guess they really haven’t thought that far
ahead. “The trouble with socialism is you run out of other people’s money to
spend.”[53] We needed change
but the Obama administration was not the answer. They moved us in the direction
we were headed, not the direction in which we needed to go. Our government has been out of control for a
long time.
I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer refer to
the progressives as bastards.[54] I have realized that it is wrong to besmirch
the reputations of their parents, whom I am sure are ashamed of them. These people don’t recognize the authority of
the principles under which this nation was founded. From what I have seen in their efforts to get
the health care legislation passed, they have no principles.
We have a Star Spangled republic, not a muddy swamp of
socialism. The progressives think we have a
democracy. “Democracy..
while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit
suicide.”[55] “A democracy is
nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away
the rights of the other forty-nine.”[56] This is why we were set up as a republic by the founding fathers who knew the
difference. Our
founding fathers knew exactly why they were setting up our republic based on
Christian
69
principals. Patrick Henry said that this country was not
founded by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel
of Jesus Christ. John Jay, the first
chief justice of this nation said that this is a Christian nation. In 1892, the Supreme Court[57]
announced that this is a Christian nation.
This was after a review of thousands of founding documents, both federal
and from the various states. “Freedom
prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.”[58]
I could go on and on with quote after
quote from those who matter, establishing beyond any reasonable doubt that this
is truly a Christian nation. What is in
question now is how long it will remain so.
The separation of church and state is found in the constitution of the
extinct USSR – article 52;
not in the United States
‘Social Justice’ to the progressive doesn’t mean helping
the poor. Their definition is the
“Forced redistribution of wealth with hostility towards individual property,
under the guise of charity and/or justice.”[59] Moral issues mean different things to
progressives because their morals are different than most of us. Their morals are not centered in God but
rather a humanist view of right and wrong.
The progressive attempt to eliminate God from our lives is the plan to
get our moral and religious values replaced by theirs. “There are 2500 verses in the King James
Bible about poor people. One time in
seminary we cut out of the Bible every reference to poor people, every single
one; it took us a long, long time, when we were done that Bible was in shreds.
It was falling apart; it was literally in holes….a Bible full of holes. I would take it out and say brothers and
sisters this is the American Bible, it’s full of holes.”[60] It is my opinion that it is Rev. Jim
Wallace’s theology that is full of holes.
The Bible says that many
70
will come in the name of
Jesus and attempt to deceive us. I
think that Jeremiah Wright and Jim Wallace are prime examples of
deceivers. Jesus taught voluntary
giving, not forced giving. When a
government takes something from one group, to give to another, it’s not
charity, its theft. Forced
redistribution is not the same as charitable giving. When the government takes over charities the
people loose control over where the resources are distributed. A man’s best friend is his dogma, and their
dogma is going to bite us in the butt.
No where in the Bible does it call for the government to take care of
the poor, rather it calls for Christians to help the poor. Jesus said that the poor would always be with
us. I guess that means that charity
toward those in need is an ongoing request of the Lord.
Violence, intimidation, personal
attacks, slurs and bomb throwing are not the answer. These are the things that the enemy wants to
goad us into doing. We should not stoop
to their tactics. Glenn Beck says that ‘the progressives are trying to
prod us into violence’. If they can get
us to act like they did in the sixties, they will have succeeded. Americans are a decent, moral and religious
people. I think that it will be hard for
them to accomplish this goal; however, there are always those radicals in every
group to say nothing of their planting people among us who will do outrageous
things to forward their agenda. We have the strongest weapon in our vote. I get sick and tired of those who say ‘you
can’t blame me, I didn’t vote’. Yes I
can; you neglected your responsibility as a citizen. “All
tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain
silent.”[61] “2010 is not just a choice between Republicans
and Democrats. 2010 is not just a choice between liberals and conservatives.
2010 is a referendum on the very identity of our nation.”[62]
The thing to keep in mind is what would
Jesus do? Hitler said that if
you
say something often enough and loud enough, that most of the people will
believe it. We are surrounded by lies,
deception and slight of hand. The Bible and the founding documents are often
misquoted or misrepresented by the deceivers.
“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to
71
maintain
what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest
man.”[63] Study
history and the Bible to see the truth and overcome what is being fed to us.
72
Chapter 27
Freedom
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from
extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be
fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”[64] “I believe there
are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual
and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden
usurpations.”[65] I was born in a free country and I will die
in a free country, even if I have to die in my attempts to keep it free. I had a man tell me that since 1950 we have
lost forty percent of our freedoms. I do
not intend to pass on to my children and grandchildren a country less free than
I was given.
The
progressives have been with us since this country was founded; however, it
wasn’t until recently that they seem to have gotten the upper hand. They have tried to fundamentally change our
country in the past but were thwarted in their efforts by right thinking
Americans. The thwarting in today’s
political situation has just recently gotten started. “A little rebellion now and then...is a
medicine necessary for the sound health of government.”[66] “If the freedom of speech
is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”[67] A step in this
direction is being taken with the ‘Freedom of Information’ act, or whatever
name they are using now. “Advertisements
contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.”[68] The ‘mainstream press’ is replete in their
efforts to silence the opposition views by not reporting the real and complete
news. They look on us as sheep that need
to be led.
If you believe in your heart
that there are those who know better how you
73
should live your life, then
you are the problem. Our founding
fathers knew how our country should be governed in order to be successful. What has happened in the last two hundred
years that we have lost track of our roots?
“A wise and frugal government, which shall
leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and
shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the
sum of good government.”[69] “Concentrated
power has always been the enemy of liberty.”[70] We managed to survive the Wilson
There is a difference between manly and macho. A man knows who and what he is and that he
doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone.
Macho is the act of trying to prove to yourself and/or the rest of the
world that you are a man. It therefore
takes quite a bit to provoke a man to anger.
Those founded in the fundamentals of our country are usually manly. You have to push them quite a way before they
rise up to fight; such as in the ‘Tea party’ movement. You can kill us, but you cannot defeat
us. The vitriol that has come from the
progressives because of Americans standing up for their constitution is truly
mind boggling. When some one calls you a
racist, bigot, homophobe or other politically sensitive and incendiary name,
please answer in the following manner – ‘and this is coming from someone who
crawled out of the scum pond of progressivism?’
These names are being used by the progressives against those in the tea
party movement in an attempt to belittle the movement and to dismiss the
movement as radical and unimportant. The
tea party movement is very close to how our country came into being.
The sour grapes folks are now in charge of the
government. Call it socialist,
progressive or Marxist, they are the folks that lost the battle in the sixties.
“Facts are stubborn
things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of
our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence”.[71] We know
that many of our elected officials,
74
regardless of party, are liars. Of this, there is no doubt. What is so embarrassing about it is the
blatantness with which they lie; and how easily they are caught in their
lies. They don’t even apologize when
they are proven to be lying. Overseas we
are looked on with distain because of our government’s forays into
untruthfulness. In the past, other
nations respected and feared us, but today they laugh at us. What freedoms we have left are in jeopardy if
the world thinks we are weak.
In the past I have told you about Saul Alinsky.[72] I stated that I thought that Alinsky was one
of the most dangerous men in history.[73] Now I introduce you to another conspirator in
the progressive movement. “First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew
Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven (today Piven is an honorary chair
for the Democratic Socialists of America), the
"Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by
overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus
pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”[74] These are just examples of the people in the
past that would fundamentally change the United States of America
75
Chapter 28
Who Are We?
Nigger, spic, kike, honky, fag, wop, mick, wasp, kraut, Jap,
chink, gook, - let’s see, did I leave anyone out? I wouldn’t want to offend anyone by
omission. I have known people who seem to
hate everyone. “Prejudice is a distinction we make about people that God
doesn’t make.”[75] I can truly say that after having lived for
sixty seven years, and having been exposed to this kind of hate and even worse,
I truly don’t hate anybody. “Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His
sight; Jesus loves the little children of the world.”[76] If you, as I do, believe that the Bible is
the word of the one true and living God, you would also know that we are all of
one bloodline. We are all the same
family regardless of our differences.
Kind of gives you a different perspective on discrimination, doesn’t it?
Since we are all basically the same,
our only real differences are our ideas.
There are those that I disagree
with and am disappointed with. Those who
tell lies and make statements and/or decisions which affect my life and that of
my family, without knowing or caring what they are doing, anger me. There are those
that will stand for the Bible and our nation the way it was founded, and those
that would tear down the nation and its relationship with God that most of us
are so fond of. Some people are too lazy
to study so they are easily led. “My
people perish for lack of knowledge.”[77] Our nation is in the process of perishing due
to many peoples lack of knowledge concerning the founding of the country.
Throughout history, there have been those, because of greed and hunger for
power that seek to control the lives of others. Our country has never been free of these
people, which is why for so long they have been plotting in the
background. Only recently have they
gained the powerful positions in such abundance. I am content in the belief system I have. I believe in God, family and country in that
order. I am absolutely convinced that the Bible is true because it was written
under the
76
influence of the Holy
Spirit. Some people say it is not
trustworthy because it was written by men.
These people seem to have no real concept of the Holy Spirit and if I
remember correctly, Jesus was a man when He was here.
Many people need to determine
the basis of their unbelief. “Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and
the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.”[78] The farther away we get from God, the worse
off we are. "If we ever forget that we're One
Nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."[79]
“’In God We Trust’ is our national motto. This is not
some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women - on Christian principles - founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.”[80]
some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women - on Christian principles - founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.”[80]
When I was a child, I was taught that curse words were used
by people who didn’t know how to properly express themselves. Prejudicial words as far as I am concerned,
are in the same category as curse words.
Although I still find myself falling into this category at times, it
still offends my heart. What I find
truly offensive are those people who purposely and maliciously accuse someone
of being a racist for political purposes.
This is a common tactic of the progressive movement. ‘White boy’ was shouted by a protester during
a speech by Michael Johns at a Tea Party meeting. As far as I know, there has only been one person
beaten up at a tea party meeting. A
black Tea Party attendee was attacked and beaten by SEIU[81]
thugs using the ‘N’ word because he was handing out free flags. “I have heard over
and over again that the law abiding members of the Tea Party movement are
racist and hate mongers. The progressives have done everything they can
to discredit this movement within the parameters of Saul Alinsky's ‘Rules for Radicals,’ by clothing health care reform
"with moral garments." If the Tea Party movement is racist then
why can't the accusers provide audio or video substantiating this claim?”[82]
If
you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you have to act. Arm
77
yourself because that is what you will have to do
spiritually; if you are on the side of truth, justice and the American
way. Put on the full armor of God. Carry the sword of the Spirit in your
heart. Our best political weapon is the
vote. “The vote is the most powerful
instrument ever devised by man
for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls
which imprison men because they are different from other men.”[83] “Bad officials are elected by good citizens
who do not vote.”[84] “If America
Only if we are
aware of whom we are, will we set foot in the right direction to restore this
country to its rightful place in the world.
Study, doubt everything you hear or read until you have verified its
truthfulness. Once you are armed with
the confidence of your convictions, get out there and vote.

Chapter 29
Social Justice
Social justice is a catch phrase for
the progressive movement. What they mean
by social justice is redistribution of wealth.
The true definition of social justice, as given in the Bible is, he who
will not work should not eat and he who cannot work should be given help. Guess whose wealth they want to
redistribute? Yours! With 47% of our people paying no income tax
and 20% getting back more than they pay in, isn’t this what is already taking
place? If you paid income tax last year,
you paid for the 47% who didn’t. “A
truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor
lies in honest toil.”[86] “Let us not seek
the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us
not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility
for the future.”[87]
When you voted
in the last election, did you vote for governmental ownership of the auto
industry, the banking industry, the insurance industry, abandonment of long
standing international commitments, or reduction of our nuclear status? I know that I didn’t. I do believe that the other side was headed
in the same direction but would have done it slower. “A world without nuclear
weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.”[88] I can’t find anywhere in the Constitution that the
government should be involved in private business. How dare any of our elected and appointed
government officials as well as bureaucrats ignore the founding principles of
our nation? Shame on them! Shame!
Shame! Shame! The main purpose of our federal government is
to protect us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. At present we are snuggling up to our enemies
and rejecting our historical friends, such as Israel Israel
79
direction.”[90]
Our rights, given to us by God, have been being eroded away by several
administrations. Our domestic enemies
seem to be in positions of power in the government. The fox is in the hen house and is in the
process of swallowing all of the chickens.
I have said in the past that our most powerful weapon was
the vote. I have come to realize that I
was wrong. The most powerful weapon we
have is prayer. The most powerful thing
we can do is pray. "But I tell you
who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse
you, pray for those who mistreat
you.”[91] We still retain the right to vote them out
of office. Praying does not relieve us
of our responsibility to vote. “You will never
know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you
will make good use of it.”[92]
Progressivism, Socialism, and Marxism, as far as I can
determine, all basically have the same general philosophy. They are all anti God, anti personal
responsibility and support dependence on the state.. If the government is restricting our
religious rights, they are treading on illegal ground. There is no doubt that the United States
“A nation will not long survive when it begins to think of
its government, not as a watch dog to be fed, but a cow to be milked.”[93]
“What we hear today is that the purpose of the government is benevolence. Now that is a very pious word and it would
seem that no one could speak against it and yet that is not the biblical
teaching concerning government. The
Bible is filled with benevolence, but it is not state benevolence that is being
spoken of, it is individual benevolence.
Since government has nothing of its own, if it is going to give
something to somebody else it must first take it from another party and
therefore it enters into the realm of plunder.
80
Socialism really is legalized
plunder.”[94] Marx
said “If you think you’ve misunderstood me that I want your private property,
you haven’t misunderstood, that’s exactly what I want, I want the abolition of
private property.”[95]
Engles said “We want to sweep away everything that claims to be supernatural
and superhuman…for that reason we have once and for all declared war on
religion and religious ideas…”[96]
On the other hand our founding fathers believed that “Freedom
prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.”[97]
The determination as to if one is a patriot or a
revolutionary is determined by the observer.
Although Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Riley among others, are
accused of being bigots, hate mongers and racists it is my opinion that they
art patriots. Put what they say to the
test of truthfulness and determine for yourself. Don’t swallow the pap you are being fed by the
other side. “Patriotism
is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves
it.”[98]

Chapter 30
A Moral Dilemma
The problem with our Christian nation
is that it’s not very Christian anymore.
You are not a Christian simply because you say that you are. Our
government says that 78.5% of our population professes to be some form of
Christian[99]. If you have not declared that Jesus is Lord
and established a personal relationship with Him, you are not a Christian. Many
of our founding fathers thought that a relationship with the Christ should be a
prerequisite to holding office in this country.
Today, in order to be elected, you have to be in fear of the church and
state separators. If you also don’t
believe in the devil and hell, you need to get your head around the basis of
your unbelief. The reason that the devil
is one step ahead of you is because he can operate in the shadows. “The god of this age has blinded
the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of
the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”[100] “If
you don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you don’t stand a chance
against the devil.”[101] There
are only two forces at work in the world.
They are the forces of good and evil.
They each acknowledge the existence of the other. How do you expect to survive if you deny the
existence of that which surrounds you?
The devil is a liar, he comes to steal, kill and destroy. “Any good that you do will not get you into
Heaven, and any bad that you do won’t keep you out of Heaven. The only thing that will get you into Heaven
is the Grace of God, and the only thing that will keep you out of Heaven is
your refusal to put your faith in Jesus Christ.”[102] “We are all born
ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”[103]
One of
the problems with Christian families is that we teach our kids to believe in
Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Jesus. Then they have a hard time believing that
anything we tell them is true. It
82
doesn’t
help that our education system has taken Christianity out of the picture. In Acts 19:15, the evil spirit answered them,
"Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" Isn’t it about time you checked out Romans
10:9? That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. The absolute truth is that this
country was founded as a Christian nation under the inspiration of Providence
Our President, in the days before the election, made a
pretense of being Christian, apparently for political advantage. His pastor said that he was a politician who
would say anything to get elected.
“There is a remarkable consistency in what Barack Obama has done over
the years, despite inconsistencies in what he says”.[104] “Of the
twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them
collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States
I have been watching the History Channel series “America
Progressives are socialists. The Nazi’s (National Socialist Party) were,
and are Socialists. Some progressives
have been hiding under in the
cloak of Liberalism. I am
sick and tired of those who are conservative
being called Nazi’s, since the conservative
movement is espousing smaller
83
government and more
individual freedom, which is far from socialism. The Bible does not teach socialism. Jesus was not a socialist. Sharing, or giving unto others voluntarily,
by personal choice, is a lot different from having it taken from you and
redistributed. The eighth commandment
establishes the right to ownership of private property. Giving the coat off
your back is a self generated charity.
If the government takes from one and gives to another, it is in
violation of all that is Holy, and wholly American.
84
Chapter 31
American?
“A man's
country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it
is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.”[108]
"To the distinguished
Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more
distinguished Character of Christian. The signal Instances of providential
Goodness which we have experienced and which have now almost crowned our labors
with complete Success, demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns
of Gratitude and Piety to the Supreme Author of all Good."[109]

authorities, you have to protect yourself.

Chapter 32
Satan
Many people have been taught that Satan is red, has horns,
a tail and carries a pitchfork.
Wrong! The Satan of this world is
good looking and appealing. He dresses
like you do, with jeans, Dockers and a Che Guevara tee shirt. Sometimes he wears an Armani suit and
Florsheims. Suffice it to say that he
will meet you where he thinks you are most vulnerable. You, I am sure, have heard the phrase ‘silver
tongued devil’. Who do you think
invented crooked politicians?
Apparently there are people who don’t believe that
Satin exists. There are even many
Christians that don’t either believe in Satan or simply don’t understand his
place in this world. It seems better for
some folks to simply bury their head in the sand rather than admit that there
are things they have no control over.
There is One who does have control; however, you have to know Him. The who, and the why, will be explained.
According to the History book, Lucifer was not satisfied to
be just one of the top angels[113]. There was an ensuing power struggle between
Lucifer and God. As you might have
guessed, God won and Lucifer and those who chose his side were expelled from
heaven. Today’s demons are the angels
that chose the wrong side. Since Satan
is now dealing with sour grapes and only has a limited time to have his place
of authority on earth, he has to move quickly to do whatever he can to try to
upset God’s plans. Satan’s job, as he
sees it, is to keep you from knowing the Lord’s plan of salvation through Jesus
the Christ. “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”[114] He is out to steal, kill and destroy. “He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
87
liar, and the
father of it.”[115] You and your children’s souls are what he is after. Be sober and vigilant because Satan goes
around like a roaring lion looking for anyone he can devour[116]. You must see that you can no longer live as
the world does, in the vanity of their own minds.[117] “They are darkened in their understanding and
separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to
the hardening of their hearts”[118]. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the
man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”[119] “We cannot live in sin here below and then
expect to live in heaven above.”[120]
“Satan's power is over all the nations of the earth. That could be very
frightening when we realize he can influence men in such a way that they are
not even aware that they are being influenced toward evil. His power is so
extensive that he is over all the nations of the earth. Jesus calls him the ruler
of this world (John 14:30).
He affects people's attitudes by moving our reasoning processes toward
satisfaction of the self. He gives disinformation and stirs up our spirit.
Here is what is so perverse about this: It is not evil for one to
take care of him self. What is evil is to make the satisfaction of the self
more important than God or others. We are to serve God before all else (the
great commandment), and the second is like it—we are on an equal par with
others physically. Nowhere are we given the right or privilege by God to make
ourselves greater than or more important than God or other human beings.”[121]
There is a difference between Christianity and ‘in the name
of Christ’. I say this because of the
influence that Satan has over the world and
88
therefore over mankind. I can’t find instructions for the inquisition
anywhere in the Bible, although it was carried on in the name of Christ. I have said for years that the trouble with
Christianity is the Christians and that is because of the worldly or satanic
influence the Devil has over mankind.
Some people say that the ’Church’ is filled with hypocrites, which is
why they choose not to attend church.
Satan has captured a lot of souls with this lie. There is no perfect church! If there were a perfect church, it wouldn’t
be when we arrived because you and I are not perfect. The population of hypocrites is no larger in
church than it is in the unchurched world.
We simply stand out more because we are not living what we profess. Unfortunately we all have hypocrisy in our
lives. Churches are built by men and men
are not perfect. “A denomination is nothing more than a monument to a dead
saint.”[122]
The whole idea behind the Church is to be a place to
gather, learn about the Christ, and further your knowledge about Christianity,
worship and fellowship with other Christians.
Judging others, discrimination, haughtiness, flaunting your personal
power and or riches and gossip are all ways the devil infiltrates the
Church. Church is a place for being
uplifted and sharing. Good works are
those things that are done because you have been inspired by God, not to earn
salvation. As you can imagine, Satan
hates the church. He would do anything
to keep you out of it. Where two or more
are gathered in Christ’s name is church.
“Give no place to the devil.”[123] The church should be a sanctuary from Satan
so try not to bring him in with you.

Chapter 33
Light Bulbs
As we might expect, our governmental officials don’t
seem to care about its citizens when it comes to lighting, both in public
buildings and in our homes. There are
forms of lighting that adversely affect many Americans. It is the goal, however, to make it mandatory
for us to use this form of lighting.
People with migraine headaches, tension headaches, post concussion
syndrome (brain injury), epilepsy, photophobia (according to Wikipedia there
are over 340 conditions that can cause photophobia) and other conditions can
have mild to severe reactions from fluorescent lighting. The problems caused by
this type of lighting, such as loss of muscle control, nausea, vertigo,
weakness, eye strain, eye discomfort, migraine headaches, and seizures don’t
seem to matter. There are millions of
Americans that are adversely affected by fluorescent lighting. We need to take a hard look at ways to
accommodate those people that it affects.
“Fluorescent lights are gas filled
tubes. The gas gets excited by electric pulses and emits light. The item
responsible for exciting the gas is called a ballast. Ballasts emit pulses of electricity. These
pulses turn the light on and off quite fast. The rate of these pulses is quite
high, high enough that you don’t see it. But that doesn’t mean you don’t notice
it. Some people have sensitivity to
this flicker. They perceive the variations in intensity of the light source and
it messes up their system.”[124] Those who are affected by flicker must
forgo visits to the buildings where this type of lighting is in use. Now, the current thinking is that the old
incandescent light bulbs should be taken off the market. Then only the harmful lighting would be
available. Whatever happened to the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990? Disability is defined by the ADA
“On September 25, 2008,
President George W. Bush
signed into law
90
the ADA Amendments Act
of 2008 (ADAAA). This was intended to give broader protections for
disabled workers and "turn back the clock" on court rulings which
Congress deemed too restrictive. The ADAAA includes a list of major life
activities. Effective January 1, 2009, the ADAAA broadened the interpretations
and added to the ADA examples of "major life activities" including,
but not limited to, "caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing,
hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking,
breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and
working" as well as the operation of several specified ‘major bodily
functions.’ ”[125] In my opinion, the use of florescent lighting
and the subsequent attempts at banning incandescent lighting constitutes discrimination, abuse and exclusionary
practice.
“I know there may have been
concerns that the ADA
Under
Title III of the ADA, no individual may be discriminated against on the basis
of disability with regards to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, or
accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns,
leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation. "Public accommodations" include most
places of lodging (such as inns and hotels), recreation, transportation,
education, and dining, along with stores, care providers, and places of public
displays, among other things.
Jesus is the light of the world[127]
and as we all know, He never changes. He
is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
That tells me the light of God does not flicker.
91
Chapter 34
The separation of church and state, if
that is how you want to phrase it, is in actuality, a one way street. The first amendment says that the government
cannot interfere with our religious practices.
It also says that the federal government can’t set up a state
church. For some time now our government
has been putting more and more restrictions on our churches. To participate in a faith based program the
church must follow government dictates.
To have the tax exemptions to which churches are entitled, you must
limit what you say from the pulpit.
Apparently what the Word of God says can be determined by progressives,
when they are in power, to be hate speech.
There is a simple answer to this – DON’T TAKE THE MONEY! Render to Cesar’s what Cesar’s is, and to God
what is God’s. The Church belongs to
God, not Caesar. Believers, you are the
Church, and if also an American citizen, your rights are given by God, not the
government. Isn’t it about time you
started standing up for your rights and freedoms? Since we have the freedom of speech and free
exercise of religion, the only way these rights can be limited is if we allow
it to happen. It doesn’t matter if you
are a believer in God or are an atheist, if our first amendment rights are
limited, we all loose.
I haven’t heard the expression
‘apostate church’ used in years but I am convinced that what is happening too
many of our churches today qualifies under that heading. We are told in the Bible that there will be
many to come in the name of Christ, and if not for the Holy Spirit, even the
‘elect’ could be misled. Since we know
that there is only one Christ, we know to be vigilantly looking for these
imposters. Are we so lazy or frightened
that we won’t confront what we know to be wrong? If your church is not teaching Jesus as
Savior, a personal relationship with the Christ and that the Bible is the
inerrant word of God; it’s not a Christian church. As I have said before, Jesus is an absolutist
and so am I. The current thinking, that
everything is relative, is simply a lie of the Devil.
As has been documented ad infinitum,
we started out as a Christian nation.
Mostly because of this fact, we prospered and grew and the Lord blessed
our efforts. A creeping disease within
our nation has been growing
92
and today seems
to be out of control. Just recently our
president announced that we were not a Christian nation. How did we become this corrupt? How did it come about that we accept Satan’s
values over that of the Lord? Did we
forget that sin is anything that separates us from God? Did we forget that our declaration of Independence declares our dependence on God (Providence
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man puts forth, that shall he also receive back.”[128]
“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.”[129] This is our God and The God of our
nation. How long are we going to stand
for the few who, knowing it or not, are working to remove His blessing from us. If we
keep going in the same direction the following is true - "The future ain't
what it used to be"[130].
Because of my relationship with Christ, I have a certain
world view and outlook on life. It is
not my place to condemn you for your beliefs if they are different from mine,
but rather to join with you to further our nation as our founding documents
suggest. This is one of the main tenants
of our Christian nation. I don’t care
what your situation is; you could have a better and more fulfilling life if you
had a relationship with the one true and living God. It is not my duty however, to force you into
that relationship. Conversely, it is not
our governments place to interfere with that relationship.
Recently, our leadership has started to distance our
country from the state of Israel Israel was restored as a nation, have been a
supporter and protector of Israel Israel and curse those who curse Israel Jerusalem
