Why Do I Rant?

            I have been told that my ranting's 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.”[1]   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 diligently seeks Him.    

          The American people wanted change; however, President 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 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”[2].  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.”[3]  “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.”[4]  

          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. “[5]   “Saul Alinsky, the Chicago activist and writer whose street-smart tactics influenced generations of community 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,”…”[6] 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.” [7]

          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.”[8]   “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any nation.”[9] 

          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 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.

The Three Point Attack

           If I remember my facts right, Saudi Arabia has no income tax and free health care.  Their secret is oil.  Do our politicians have a secret also?  Since we seem to have much more oil than the Saudi’s, why aren’t we going after it?  Either those in power have a reason not to, or they are just plain stupid.  “Life is tough—it’s even tougher when you’re stupid.”[1]

          “Intelligence and information are not hereditary.  The son of a philosopher may be an ignoramus.  The wisest men must teach their children the simplest elements of knowledge, or allow them to grow up in ignorance of all that they themselves have learned.”[2]  Our children are being brainwashed in today’s school system.  Between the progressive indoctrination and the revisionist history, they are being taught that their parents did it wrong and that it’s their job to correct things.  From at least the sixties, until today, the perversion of the educational system has taken place. Parents have become less and less involved in their children’s schools, in my opinion, due to misplaced trust.   The teachers that taught us were trustworthy because they had been taught under the pre sixties system.   This is not to say that all teachers are like this.  On the contrary, there are many good and dedicated teachers.  However, there are enough that, along with the teacher’s unions and progressive administrators, our children and grandchildren are truly at risk. “The goal of a higher learning institution is to make a boy as much unlike his father as possible.”[3]

   “Young adults”[4] have a right to listen and learn from their elders.  Those from twenty to their forties have the right to work hard and raise their families.  Once this has been accomplished, it could be said that they have earned their voice by having paid their dues.  Those who have been there and done that are the elders that have earned their right to the respect of those who follow.  You don’t get respect without having “made you bones”.[5]

For some time now, those that have been delegated, by us, to manage our nation, have, to say the least, run amuck.  Their two main areas of attack seem to be in their attempts to bankrupt the nation and remove God from all facets of our lives.  The first nation on earth to be set up as a Christian nation resulted in the greatest nation in history. “Cathamethapiscabapterian”[6] is the basis of the religion of our founding.  This was the diverse Christian foundation of our nation.    Those we have elected have chosen to ignore the core principals on which we were founded, in order to fundamentally change the direction of our nation.  “The borrower is a slave to the lender, and the debtor to the creditor.”[7]  The Bible says basically the same thing.  Let’s see, it was said by one of our founding fathers and by the Father of our founding.  Perhaps we should pay attention!  Perhaps it is our fault that this has happened.  We didn’t pay enough attention to whom we were electing and what their basic beliefs were.  Some of them lied, and we believed them.  We didn’t research some of them enough to know what they stood for.  Shame on us! 

“It is the habit of skeptics to ignore all that has been settled and established in Christianity; and this because, as a rule, skeptical men are untaught and uninformed concerning the facts and truths which pertain to the Christian religion.  It is a subject they have never studied, and concerning which they have never been properly instructed.  They may have gone to church as a matter of form, and have heard about the gospel in a general and traditional way, but they have never examined and weighed the evidences in the case.  No man is fit to confute a doctrine which he is too indifferent to examine or comprehend.  But it would be hard to find many skeptical writers or speakers who have ever had even a fair look at the opposite side of the question, to say nothing of a practical experience of the gospel of salvation, without which all theories are but shells and husks. … Of course there is no disputing about taste; and if a man chooses to put away his history, his heritage, and his hopes, as a son and creature of Almighty God; and trace his genealogy to the monkey, the mollusk, the moner, and the mud, we must respect his rights, and allow him to exercise his preferences; but when he insists that we shall also trace our genealogic line through ancestral apes and patriarchal pollywogs, we respectfully decline the honor.  We prefer to look higher; and as there is still a little uncertainty among scientific men on the point, we propose to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt, and still look up to a Heavenly Father, instead of down to a little dot of mud-spawned moner, as the source of our existence….If such men could turn God out of His own world, they would feel quite at liberty to do as they liked.  And if, instead of believing that they are creatures of God, and so are amenable to His righteous and wholesome control, they can convince themselves that they are simply descended from some race of obscene and dirty little brutes, what is there to hinder them from imitating their ancestors to their hearts content? ”[8] 

“With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.

This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence…”[9]  It appears to me that we have lost this feeling of cohesion that the founding fathers felt and that those immigrants following them felt as they wanted to become Americans.  Keep in mind;  “what God has joined together, let no man put asunder”.[10]

Unlike our forefathers, today’s progressive movement seems to hold with the philosophy that the ends justify the means.  This has been espoused by some in the influential position of having the ear of the present administration such as Andy Stern, President of the SEIU, who says that if he can’t get his way using the power of persuasion, he will use the persuasion of power.  “This is one of those truths which, to a correct and unprejudiced mind, carries its own evidence along with it; and may be obscured, but cannot be made plainer by argument or reasoning. It rests upon axioms as simple as they are universal; the MEANS ought to be proportioned to the END; the persons, from whose agency the attainment of any END is expected, ought to possess the MEANS by which it is to be attained.”[11]   In other words, you can’t do as you darn well please simply because you desire a result of your liking.  Be warned, you are not paranoid if someone really is after you.  These progressives are exuberant true believers.  Progressivism is their religion and they want to proselytize you and your children. The green movement is one of their chief denominations.  "If we ever forget that we're ‘One Nation Under God’, then we will be a nation gone under."[12] Through finances, education and elimination of faith the progressives are gaining control of our lives.  Perhaps there is still time to save ourselves and our country.  Recognizing these problems is the first step.  Avoiding our being a part of these problems is the most important step.  Resist in any way you are able!

The Battles Are Engaged

What makes our country great is “ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things.”[1]  Individual incentive and ingenuity has been the driving engine of America’s freedom and economy since the country was founded.

“Everyone has faith in something, which faith affects his understanding of everything.  Rationalism, naturalism, materialism, secularism and atheism are all based upon evolutionism“[2] 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. “[3]    

“We have an obligation to expose and attack the world of religious miracles, magic, Bible worship, salvationism, heaven, hell and all mythical deities. 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.”[4]

“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.”[5]  “Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain.”[6]

“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?”[7]  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.”[8]  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.”[9]  “(NAFTA) is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system.”[10]  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. 

America represents the hated Christians to the Moslem fundamentalists.

Jews and Christians are the true target of these Moslem fanatics.  They recognize that the US is a Christian nation even if our president doesn’t.  America is the world’s most Christian nation.  Seventy eight percent of our population claim affiliation to the Christian religion.  “The USA religious break down is 51.3% protestant, 23.9% catholic, 1.7% Mormon, 1.6% other Christian, 0.7% Buddhist, 2.5% unspecified, 12.1% unafilliated, 4% none”.[11]

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.

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 and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,”[1].  We must, from now on, refuse to participate in the restriction of our freedoms.  Live free or die! “..when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,”[2] In order to do what we must, we need to learn the full extent of our rights and freedoms.  When we find ourselves secure in this knowledge, we then must refuse to participate in the restrictions to our liberties.  We may find that we run head long into the authorities as some hero’s of the past have done.  If we are serious about our rights, we must be willing to put up with the consequences of our actions.  “— 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.”[3]  Keep in mind that the Declaration of Independence says that our rights are given by God.  Only those who think they are above God will try to take them away.

 

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 Unites States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

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 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 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 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.”[4]  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’[5].  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.”[6]

First Thoughts For The New Decade

1. ”We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But under no circumstances will we render to Ceaser what is God’s” 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, the media and the progressives, as well as, among others, political correctness. Why do they pick on Christianity and Judaism? Is it because Judaism and Christianity represent the Lord of the universe, the creator of the world, and the Savior of our souls? Since we know whom the one true and living God is, we can understand why the opposition forces want His voice silenced. I have read the Bible and guess who wins? If those who would, could silence the body of Christ, they can have their way for a season, which they will, after the rapture of the church. By the way, the value of a Jewish man has finally been established. Hammas has determined that one Jewish man is worth 1,000 Palestinians. That is the price Hammas has set for the release of one Jewish soldier.

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? “Honor the Lord with your possessions (substance), and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom.”

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 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.” 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”. “Freely ye have received, freely give.”

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. Since the EPA has decided to be at the forefront of the Global warming scam, a new congress could defund the EPA. Taxes need to be lowered, not raised. There are several ways of doing this. Get our elected officials to get real and realize that they work for us. Tax the 50 percent of the population that don’t pay taxes which would give them ownership and appreciation of the tax system. Thomas Jefferson said that if the population ever finds that they can vote themselves what they want, all would be lost. The Wilson administration was the beginning of progressivism in the United States. That is when they first began coming out of the closet. It brought us such wonderful things as the progressive income tax, the Fed, incarceration without trial if you disagreed with them and the beginnings of what turned into the United Nations. The Wilson administration did more damage to our country than any other administration. This is the same Wilson administration in which his wife essentially ran the country and made the decisions when for many months President Wilson was incapacitated by a stroke.

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 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.” Scott Brown was running as a republican in the senatorial race in Massachusetts. Most of you won’t know that “tea bagging” is a nasty sexual practice. It seems that progressives know what it means while most decent people have never heard of the practice. The progressives, like Genie Gorafelo and Keith Oberman, use this phrase to refer to the tea party gatherings around the nation demonstrating against what is happening to our country. A personal attack like this is not unusual for the progressives. “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance- baffle them with Bullshit” is a phrase I heard many times in my years as a salesman. Now I realize that it was of progressive origin. I, on the other hand, always sell by the “KISS” method, which means to Keep It Simple Stupid. I don’t lie, I am always myself, I don’t make promises that I don’t intend to keep and follow up on everything that I say I will. Wouldn’t it be nice if the media and the politicians would do the same?
