We are informed by many that we must be respectful and tolerant of the followers of Islam’s religious stance concerning cartoons or references to their prophet Muhammad.  Those who declare and demand that demand it selectively but have a significant double standard when it comes to respecting the beliefs of the followers of Christ.  I find that difficult to rationalize.

Muslim’s want Shira Law imposed on everyone and often the jihadist are painted as victims rather than purveyors of their brand of religious intolerance.  Anyone who speaks against the terrorism, abuse and murder at their hands are labeled as ‘haters’, ‘Islamaphobes’ or ‘racist’.  The same goes for anyone criticizing anyone of color especially the current president, Attorney General or any public figure who is non-white.  Yet, the left can attack Christian beliefs vehemently, call conservatives all kinds of vile names, slander their character and brand them evil.  The double standard is glaring and I cannot imagine anyone not seeing it so I must conclude that it is excused and deemed desirable to launch assaults on Christianity and Constitutional Conservatism.

We are supposed to be careful not to offend the Muslim’s regarding their prophet but it is open season on corporations or individuals who take a religious stance regarding abortion, same sex marriages, etc.  That is quite a double standard.  My immediate question in this is:  “If it is considered reprehensible, bigoted, homophobic and/or racist for Christians to stand against homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion, etc. why are the Muslims not also condemned for their opposition to homosexuality?”  In the Muslim world child abuse and physical abuse of women is acceptable but were that practiced by Christians it would be condemned.  It seems there is selective tolerance and condemnation practiced. 

I would argue that it is not about ‘equality’ or ‘tolerance’ but a political tool to gain Democrat control in Congress and the White House.  The media supports this narrative and agenda as do an alarming number of religious leaders and institutions.  In the world of Islam there is no uniformity in interpretation of their book nor is there in the world of Christianity.  However all Muslims agree in the demand of tolerating their beliefs without consent for other faiths to express their beliefs.  In Muslim countries it is illegal to proselytize and anyone preaching Christ or Judaism could and likely would be jailed or executed.

This administration finds it impossible or distasteful to identify ISIS or other Islamic jihadist and terrorist as Islamic but finds it easy and palatable to castigate Christians over the centuries old Crusades.  Islam is intolerant but demands that everyone be tolerant toward them much like the Progressives and Liberals want to exercise their freedom of speech but censor anyone with an opposing view.  The double standard is incredible.

            I may or may not agree with some actions by those who are defending and exercising their right of Freedom of Speech but I defend their right to exercise that right without fear of a terrorist assault as was in Garland, Texas or Charlie Hebdo in France.  It is one thing to picket, boycott or protest peaceably and quite another to launch an attack in a hail of bullets.  That should be condemned immediately and uniformly by all including those who claim to be Moderate Muslims.  If Islam is a religion of peace then where is the outcry against the violence, murder and mayhem?  If Islam is a religion based on love where is the demonstration of tolerance toward people who hold a differing religious point of view.

The vileness that comes from the jihadist, terrorist and activist on the left promoting things that are diametrically opposite of most Christians is reprehensible.  If anyone on the Right were to adopt the tactics used by the Islamic jihadist, terrorist and activist I would call it reprehensible as well.  The First Amendment belongs to everyone who is a legal American citizen.  Non-citizens in other countries of the world enjoy NO RIGHTS but expect to be afforded the rights, privileges and protection of our American Constitution.  That is a double standard and the left exercises it so long as is it politically expedient for their cause.

America it is time to wake up, stand up and speak up in support of the Constitution of these United States of America.  We must demand our country back.  God help us see the Republic restored.   May God bless you and God bless America!

It really doesn’t matter what we are talking about but when differing worldviews collide there are always casualties and frequently that includes the truly innocent.  We are living in a world where opposing worldviews politically, religiously, economically and socially are on collision courses and the fallout will be massive.

In the realm of religious beliefs we have opposing views with Islam on one side and every other religion in the world on the other.  War makes strange bedfellows it would seem but the two specifically in the cross-hairs of the fundamental followers of Islam are Christianity and Judaism.  We are seeing an ever rising tide of violence and brutality by Islamic jihadist toward both and the slaughter is reigning havoc and destruction on a host of people who are other than direct participants.  It is causing a level of distrust and animosity toward all Muslims by many because of fear due to what the jihadist are doing and if allowed to continue will eventually plunge the worldwide shooting war.  This, I believe, is predicted in the Bible and we are living in the generation observing it being walked out in real time and reality.

In the social realm of society we have opposing views on any number of things including same sex marriage, racial relations, abortion and many others that is triggering an outburst by what appears to often be small groups of well-organized activist having a social and economic impact on innocent bystanders.  Jobs are being lost due, lives traumatized so severely that some are having experiences that can only be likened to PTSD of our military.  (I do not want to disparage our troops but the trauma is real in this).  The sentiments on both sides of these issues is often deeply rooted and not easily quieted and anytime worlds collide people are hurt.  Again, I personally believe this is described in the Bible as characteristics of the Last Days that we are watching unfold before our eyes.

In the economic realm the opposing worlds of Free Market Capitalism and Marxist- Socialism with its redistribution mindset, jealousy toward success and quest for power and control the collision has been large but will become more pronounced in the days to come.  Groups such as the SEIU, this administration and various leftist activist groups are driving businesses from this country and out of business because of the regulations, demands, and costs.  Some want to put the blame on corporations and mom and pop businesses for wanting to make a profit and rail against the rich but if there were no corporations or small business people willing to invest and risk what would that do to the jobs market?  People that have no real interest in either side of this argument but simply want to work and earn a living are being damaged by the collision of these two worlds.  It is happening in real time and reality and those who have lost a job or find one comparable are among those being injured.

In the realm of politics the war between the two major parties is often more about control than upholding the Constitution or in the interest of the American people and who gets hurt when those two worlds collide?  Not the politicians but Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen.  That person who wants to live in a Free Society, earn a living, care for their own and basically be left alone are the ones who most frequently feel the pinch of the political wars.  Politicians are all about POWER and MONEY not about Public Service and People.  I can understand why some have become so turned off by the political jockeying of the differing political worlds and have checked out refusing to vote or participate in the discussion.  They consider both major parties and some lesser parties, just variations of each other and to a degree they are right. 

My concern is that if we check out on any of those fronts we are not exempted from the fallout of the collisions.  If we check out, our detachment can empower both sides of that collision leaving them with no real feedback from the public about what we see, feel, believe, desire and demand.  They will continue to pad their bank accounts, create their networks, entrench themselves in the power grid and the average citizen will pay the price.  If it only affected the generation in which it occurred I’d say, “Fine, you allowed it you pay the penalty.”  It does not and successive generations who were not part of the process and innocent will suffer the most and that is tragic.  That is one of the many reasons I cannot be SILENT and will pray earnestly and work diligently for a Restored Republic in America.

            God bless you and God bless America!

We could be talking about anything but I am specifically talking about the two previous presidential elections and the one upcoming.  A significant number of people told me in 2008 they were voting for Barack H. Obama because it would be HISTORIC.  They gushed over what that would say to the world about how America had evolved socially, racially and politically to have the first black president.  I asked some of those same people before the 2012 elections of they were going to vote for the first black president again and some of them were almost violent in their antagonism toward me while some acknowledged they would.  I had one person say, “The first time was historic the second time is lunacy.”  Yet, he was given two terms in the Oval Office.

The dismantling of our Healthcare or Health Insurance industry alone is tragic.  But when you factor in the dismantling, shredding, side-stepping of the constitution, the fundamental transformation of our nation, eradication of our borders, the purging of our military, the increase in government regulations, the scandals and Gestapo like tactics of various governmental agencies such as the IRS, EPA and others this HISTORIC event has been incredibly detrimental for America and our Republic.  It was Historic but just because something is historic does not make it good or even desirable.

Some of those same people who voted for Barack H. Obama in 2008 are now telling me they plan to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016 presuming she is the Democrat nominee because it would be HISTORIC.  Frankly, I have given up trying to talk to, educate or debate them for when one is that willfully out of touch logical and rational discussion is impossible.  HISTORIC?  Anyone that casts a ballot simply on the basis of gender or race is either racist, sexist or cretinous or all the above.

It would be HISTORIC for an earthquake of such epic proportions that the entire state of California crumbled into the sea but would that be good?  It would be HISTORIC for a hurricane of such size and power that the entire East Coast were destroyed but would that be good?  It would be HISTORIC for an EMT to be detonated in our atmosphere rendering the entire nation paralyzed electronically but would that be good?  Just because something is HISTORIC does not mean it is good and often it is the opposite.  It could be argued that it was HISTORIC for Hitler and the Nazi’s to commit the acts of the Holocaust but that does not mean it was good!  NO, just being historic does not equal being beneficial.

Politically, a Hillary presidency might be HISTORIC but would be more than Obama Part 2 it would be to ‘fast forward’ his agenda and prove to be even more destructive and detrimental for the American Experiment given us by the Founding Fathers.  I would like to see something HISTORIC transpire in the 2016 elections but not a Hillary presidency.  I have no problem with electing the first woman as president nor did I have a problem with the idea of a black man being president.  It is not what that is problematic for me it is who or whom.  If we take the pathway of voting to be HISTORIC then what is next?  Is it then incumbent upon us to elect the FIRST openly ‘gay’ president?  How about the FIRST openly ‘Muslim’ president?  (I did say openly).  That mindset is one that I pray dies away before the next elections but fear it will not.

How about this novel idea:  “Elect a president who actually loves America, honors the Constitution, will follow the Rule of Law, and considers National Security, Border Security and National Sovereignty important.”   THAT WOULD BE HISTORIC in our day!  Character and commitment to country were requirements in our past but in our present PC World seem to be viewed as detriments rather than benefits.  HISTORIC? 

Someone told me recently, “I want to be part of history.”  I must have had a stunned or amused look on my face based on their reaction and then said, “You are part of history.”  You may not be a major player in the facets of it but you are part of it.  I want to vote HISTORIC in 2016 and cast my ballot to elect a truly Conservative, Constitutional American who loves this nation, honors the Constitution and believes in the American Republic.

            May God be with you as you go through your day!

I had a fellow Christian ask, “Why do you hate Barack Obama so much?”  They were serious and I did not immediately dismiss the question but carefully examined my heart and weighed my response.  It is a serious allegation and one that I do not take lightly.  I refused to allow myself to become offended by the charge or question but rather to honestly examine my heart and answer the question.

I can honestly say that I DO NOT HATE the man Barack Obama.  I detest his policies, actions, ideology, politics and destructive actions toward America, our Freedom and the Constitution.  That I readily confess but I do not hate the individual.  I suspect that the driving force behind his actions goes beyond ideology and is spiritual in nature although not Christian.

It has been my observation over my few decades of existence on planet earth that a bully can only push so long before those being pushed push back.  I am concerned that this is the objective to push until some push back and open the door for a far more extensive use of Executive Orders to quell any civil disturbance that might ensue.  Over the past six years while in the White House he has repeatedly fanned the flames of division, hatred, racial discord, and anti-American sentiment.  He has taken actions that are certainly extra-constitutional if not outright unconstitutional, ignored the courts, congress and the voters.  He has exhibited all the characteristics of a tyrannical dictator who truly believes it is his destiny and right to RULE not govern but rule.

He has recently taken steps to grant amnesty to millions of illegals and now the mandate to all government personnel under his administration to cease calling ILLEGALS illegal and call them “Americans in Waiting.”  WHAT?  Before anyone tries to chastise me and declare that those from the other side of both borders are Americans (North Americans) might I suggest that neither, the Canadians or Mexicans consider themselves Americans but Canadians or Mexicans!  No one saying, American is thinking the generic North American but United States citizens.  So please do not approach the argument from the technicality of North America including Mexico, Canada and the U.S.A.  These ILLEGALS are not “Americans in Waiting” they are ILLEGALS and should be treated as such.  Mr. Obama has decreed that there will be ‘consequences’ for any ICE or government enforcement person who does not carry out his ILLEGAL Executive Order and carefully protect those ILLEGALS.

He proposed Executive Order to enact back door ‘gun control’ by targeting .5.56 M885 (.223) ammunition used by more than the AR15 rifle. He and they are calling it ‘armor piercing’ ammunition allowing sweeping classification and justifications to eliminate the ammunition rendering the rifles that use it useless.  He knows he cannot get Congress or the Court to give him legislation to ‘ban guns’ but since he has issued illegal order after illegal order with impunity why not take the next step?  Will his actions and that of the ATF be effective?  Although they have backed of briefly does not mean they have vacated the idea or plan.  I do not know with Congress being so weak-willed but I do not think Mr. Obama believes that millions of Americans will passively submit to the confiscation of our firearms and knows that there will likely be some type of confrontation sooner or later.  Is he trying to drive us to a civil war or something akin to the American Revolution?  I hope not but suspect that is exactly what he wants.  He has lived as Emperor for six years and those throughout the world he most admires are tyrants, dictators, despots and iron fisted rulers. 

The FCC under his direction and influence have moved forward to allow and enable the federal government to control the internet which will destroy freedom of the press and speech via that medium.  The Treasury will not explain a decision to make $3 Billion in Obamacare payments to the House Ways and Means Committee.  Where is all this leading?  If the direction continues there will be a push back from Americans.  Will the black community wake up and realize that he does not have their backs or will the seeds of hatred and bias prevent millions for awakening?  Will the Hispanics wake up and realize that they are nothing more than pawns that he and the leftist are using to dominate, control and rule?  If they along with the millions of so-called moderates and independents realize the game being played and the stakes America will see another revolt against a government gone rogue.  I AM NOT CALLING FOR WAR OR VIOLENCE.  I DO NOT WANT IT.  I am concerned that the Executive bullying will push America into a place where our police and military have to make difficult choices with regard to our Republic and Citizens.

We are living in some incredibly perilous and dangerous times and I will continue to pray for the souls of the individuals.  I will also work to expose their tactics, strategies and plans.  I love my God, my family, my freedom and my country and pray that Congress do their jobs, the courts do their jobs, the police and military do the right thing and America awakens from out of slumber.  If the sleeping giant of the multitudes ever awaken we will see a restored America but if they do not we are witnessing the demise of America as described in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

            God bless you and God bless America!

Seriously I need to find some to enable me to see the world through a Utopian paradigm as so many seem to, especially those on the far left and the Republican establishment.  I sometimes think I’m back in the 60’s and they have found the stash of psychedelic drugs that were in prevalent use in that era.  Although I did not use them I knew some who did and they would describe the Kaleidoscope world they saw saying, “It’s, cool man.”  Yeah right! 

I saw a poll some time back which declared Mitt Romney as the top choice of Republicans for president followed by Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.  Mitt Romney has since dropped out of consideration and Jeb Bush announced that after discussing with his family the type of leadership needed in America he was launching his pre-campaign campaign.  It is not that I just don’t want another Bush in the White House it is that I don’t want this Bush in the White House.  I do not want another liberal RINO at the top of the ticket and I most assuredly do not want any Republican that the uber-liberal Alan Colmes thinks is great.  If Mr. Colmes thinks Jeb Bush will be the next president and is okay with that the alarm bells begin ringing within my heart and head and I have to ask, “What is it about Jeb Bush that Mr. Colmes likes?”  Well, Mr. Bush is pro-Amnesty, pro-spending, pro-big government, and pro so many things that I am opposed to I pray that none of the top three in the polls are the nominee.  That being said, the Establishment Republicans will get their script from the media and leftist and promote someone unacceptable from a Constitutional or Conservative viewpoint.  Nothing new in that but where are those Utopian Glasses when I need them?

The liberals and many on the Republican side truly believe that if we grow government big enough, spend enough and have enough regulations, entitlement programs, and kowtow enough to our enemies America and our world will become a literal utopia.  Mr. Bush’s father was pro-world government, his brother while strong in national defense and support of the military was weak on many other fronts.  People are not going to beat their swords into plow shears and the weapons of war into pruning hooks UNTIL Jesus returns.  It is not going to happen by growing government, throwing money problems or negotiating some type of superficial settlement.  It is not going to happen by banning firearms or trying to play nice with terrorist and refusing to identify who and what they are.  It is not going to happen by waging shooting wars against anyone who disagrees with us.  Wars may be necessary or unavoidable from time to time but will never produce UTOPIA.

What we need is a true constitutional conservative at the top of the ticket who is capable of articulating what we believe not just what we are opposed to.  We do not need another milquetoast politician who has virtually zero concern for the constitution or the will of the people.  We need someone who embraces the views upon which our nation was founded, respects the rights of the people, defends the constitution and secures the borders. We need someone who will strengthen our national defense, reduce spending, advance a plan to reduce the deficit and shrink the overall size and scope of the federal government taking steps to return us to a Constitutional Republic.  But since that is not likely to happen with the current figures in power within both parties I need someone to hook me up with some Utopian Glasses so I can begin to sing ‘kum ba yah’ and fantasize about the Utopian world we are creating.

In our most recent mid-term elections we sent a clear message to Congress and the White House that we wanted CHANGE but not that which Obama was selling.  We were tired of the Republican wimpishness and wanted a demonstration of political fortitude to take a stand against Obamacare, Amnesty and the abuse of power by the White House.  We wanted and want our borders secured, our national defense strong, our constitution honored and our laws enforced.  We want reduced spending, intervention in the addiction the federal government has to money and power and separation of powers in the federal government.  But, since that does not seem to be a possibility someone give me a lead on where I can purchase a pair of Utopian glasses so I won’t see the dangers looming on the horizon and can bury my head in the sand along with the millions who are oblivious to the impending destruction.

In case you failed to tune in to the sarcasm, some of what I am saying is with ‘tongue in cheek’.  However most of my friends are intelligent thinking patriots who caught it immediately.  We need a Moses, not a Christian Bale Moses but a Bible Moses to step forward and lead us out of bondage.

            God help us is my cry!  God wake us up is my plea!  God restore us is my desire!  God bless you and God bless America!
