AMERICA – EVERY GENERATION IS RESPONSIBLE…


Blog Post - Responsible

It is the responsibility of every generation to refresh the tree of liberty!  That is especially true today for those of us who love liberty and a Constitutional Republic in America in contrast to the voices, forces and ideologies seeking to destroy it.  I am convinced that our founders based the Constitution, our system of government and judicial system on the presumption that those in leadership would work toward preserving the principles of Freedom.  I am not so naïve as to think they did not foresee the of potential tyrannical despotism.  I believe they attempted to place safeguards and sound warnings loudly enough that centuries later we would still hear them.

Our founders faced some serious problems in forming a new government for our fledgling nation and I believe did a remarkable job addressing those issues attempting to insert adequate safeguards against despotism.  Like most systems of government theory is not always practice and thus we have the problems our nation faces today.  Although some wanted to make the office of President a Monarchy the majority recognized the problem of placing too much power in the hands of one individual.  They also wanted a court system that was strong but not one that legislated from the bench so they sought to develop a system that gave the court strength but not extreme power.

Blog Post - Separation

 At the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 many were predisposed to developing a government that would provide ‘separation of powers’ where three branches were ‘co-equal’ in responsibility and power.  This was certainly not a new idea but one that had never successfully been established as it would be in America.  Its roots can be traced to the 4th Century with Aristotle, championed by John Locke, refined and expanded by Baron de Montesquieu.  The writings of those and others influenced many of our founders greatly as did the desire to safeguard against the monarchical system.  They wanted a strong executive held in check by a defined legislature balanced by a judiciary that reviewed matters from a constitutional basis.  That worked splendidly for decades but has been incredibly eroded over the past few decades and especially in the past few years. 

In our present condition we have an administration pushing the limits of presidential authority, a congress abdicating responsibility and a court where nine black robed persons virtually decide what is legal and what is not.  Instead of having a ‘balance of power’ where three branches are ‘co-equal’ providing checks and balances we have blurred lines and distortion.  Our founders warned us of the dangers of any of the three branches becoming too strong or weak and laid the ultimate responsibility at the feet of WE THE PEOPLE.  If every generation does not ‘refresh the tree of liberty’ we will find that we are truly ‘one generation’ away from losing our liberty.

Blog Post - Divider

When the president, attorney general and other major political figures encourage the disregard for our justice system from a purely racial perspective we invite disruption of the peace.  When they encourage people to disturb the Peace in violence and lawlessness rather than attempting to educate as to the process, the facts and maintain civil decorum it is an invitation to lawlessness.  When a president exercises power outside the constitutional scope of that office, ignores congress and disobeys the courts it is rightly called tyrannyWhen congress abdicates its responsibility to exercise the power of the purse, pass legislation and give oversight to the lawful exercise and observance of those laws we can rightly call them impotent.  When the courts render decisions that can only be understood as rewriting laws we can rightly accuse them of abuse of power.  We have each of those happening to greater or lesser degree in present day America.  I do not wonder what our founders would say for I believe they demonstrated that in the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Convention.

The president, attorney general and other major political figures have been calling for those of a particular ethnicity to create havoc because they perceive a wrong has transpired.  The flames of hatred and racism are being fanned by those in leadership and will result in incredible chaos if WE THE PEOPLE fail to unitedly make our voice heard.  We must all realize that while our system is not perfect the constitution must be respected.  I am not calling for watering the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots as did Jefferson but I am calling for watering the tree of liberty with our unified voice demanding a return to Constitutional Republicanism and lawfulness.

Blog Post - Divided House

America needs, no requires, our UNITED VOICE of support for liberty in contrast to the voices of hate.  America needs leaders who protect and defend the constitution even if it is not what they would prefer.  America needs leaders who will follow the law, working to change any and all bad laws and serve as representatives of the people not purveyors of power and position.

            My heart breaks for my America and I plead, God bless America and God bless you!

THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE…


Blog Post - Great Divide

Lately I have been doing some serious reflection on where we are, as a nation and a people, and I am deeply troubled.  We are a DIVIDED NATION and I do not mean we disagree I mean we are divided.  We are divided along racial lines more today than we were just a very few years ago even if Mr. Obama pretends things are better under him.  We are divided along political lines and there are divisions within the divisions often rendering us totally incapable of progress.  It is not disagreement that is the problem it is division.  Disagreement is or can be the springboard to discussion but division places a barrier preventing it.  I deal with some regularly who are so adamant in their views they reject any consideration of another point of view.  I have been attacked publicly, on Facebook and other Social Media because of my views.  I do not mind someone disagreeing with me but I do mind closed-mindedness that refuses to even hear what another has to say.

Where would we be or would we be had our founding fathers allowed their disagreements to become impassable divisions?  After the American Revolution there was much disagreement as to how the new nation should operate governmentally.  Some of the disagreements resulted in such heated discussions and divisions that friends parted ways never to be reconciled.  However, when they gathered in 1787 for the Constitutional Convention they refused to allow their disagreements to become divisions.  They proceeded to hammer out a document that would give them and us one of the most workable and meaningful systems of government man had or has witnessed.  I am so thankful that those men had such a deep love for the ideal of Freedom and Liberty that they refused to allow their personal preferences prevent them from finding a workable compromise and solution.  Today that is virtually absent in many, if not most, political circles.  Sometimes when I hear people speak I am reminded of the Apostle Paul’s words to the Corinthians when he chided them for their divisiveness and sectarianism.  They were dividing into sects within the Christian faith and allowing their views to divide them.  That was a pathway that would have been more than a little detrimental to the purpose of the church and Paul addressed it boldly.  Likewise in today’s world our divisions are the problem not our disagreements.

Blog Post - Constitutional Convention

In the Constitutional Convention they found a way to satisfy both sides of the “representation argument” by giving us a bicameral system with a Senate and House of Representatives.  The upper house would have equal representation by state and the lower house would represent the population.  There were some who wanted a very strong central government and some who wanted it to be almost a figurehead and they found a way to keep the States strong while giving the federal government enough power to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”  The Bill of Rights contained ten items without which there would have never ratification of the Constitution.  Among those was the Tenth Amendment, listed last but not least in importance that secured the rights of the states and the people and restricted the federal government from being an overreaching tyrannical entity, at least that was the intent.

Blog Post - Human Divide

 Today our divisions so separate us that some are blinded by racial hatred and are completely incapable or unwilling to even discuss the matter, at least not honestly.  Some are so loyal to a particular ideology they reject any ideas other than those that fit their preferences and resort to character assignation of those in opposition rather than engage in a meaningful discussion.  One of my mentors used to say when I or one of his prodigies would come up with a valid point or idea, “Well even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every once in a while.”  He did not mean it in a demeaning way but a reminder to each of us that we need to listen to the ideas of others.

I am troubled by the DIVIDED-NESS (my new word) of our nation and see it placing before us a crevice so wide and deep that should we continue on this path will lead us to such civil strife that blood will flow in the streets.  I am not calling for that, oppose that and pray that we never see that but it is a very real possibility with our current course and position of DIVIDED-NESS.  I sometimes wonder if I am contributing to the divide in my sounding the alarm and if I determine I am, I will change course.  My desire and purpose is not to divide but bring America back to her moral moorings and I see no hope of that without a unified effort across the various divisions to seek the best good for our nation.  I confess and profess the Christian faith and my cornerstone is God’s word and call for all who believe to make 1 Chronicles 7:14 a key component of your daily life.  “If My people , who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”   We need a healing in our land!

            God bless you and God please bless America again!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF IDIOCRACY… Ideological Terrorism!


Blog Post - Terrorism

I always desire to be as charitable as possible and give people the benefit of the doubt wherever I can all the while maintaining my reason and honest evaluation of the evidence arriving at truth.  If at the end of that journey I find there is no doubt then I must face and declare that and let the chips fall where they may.

I have seen the present occupant of the Oval Office of these United States called an ‘idiot’, ‘incompetent’, ill-advised’, ‘liar’, ‘diabolical’, ‘traitor’ and much more and he may be all those things but the more I piece together his words and actions the more I am convinced that his world is the ‘World of Idiocracy’ rooted in ‘Ideological Terrorism’.  It comes from a mind so filled with hatred and vitriol that he is driven to make America and the Western world pay for their perceived sins.  He comes by it somewhat honestly, if referring to how he was raised and educated as being an honest acquisition of his distorted truths.  I find that a bit difficult but leave it at that.

Blog Post - Mentors

From his presumed father Barack Sr., Frank Marshall Davis, his maternal grandparents, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Valerie Jarrett and a host of others he has an ingrained hatred for all things constitutional in the American Republic.  His real views continue to surface and did so in his recent act regarding Cuba and the Castro brothers.  He suspiciously or expectedly waited until Congress left town to reveal his ‘swap’ of murdering terrorists for an American convicted of espionage in Cuba.  He then proceeded to give Cuba his blessing receiving nothing in return.  Now Castro has declared victory over the United States and thanked Barack Obama for making that possible.  Mr. Obama’s spokesperson Josh Earnest contented that the release of our citizen was a humanitarian act on the part of Cuba that Mr. Obama had insisted upon and then as an act of goodwill we released their terrorist and made other concessions.  This is all supposed to benefit the Cuban people who have received no benefit from the propping up of other governments around the world including Russia.  Now that Russia’s economy is on the brink of collapse Cuba would be left with no sugar daddy to keep the Castro brothers fat and sassy but have no fear Obama is here to save the day.  Never mind that the Assistant Secretary of State told Senator Marco Rubio three times that nothing was changing in our Cuban relations because nothing had changed in Cuba but amazingly when Congress leaves town things change!

Mr. Obama’s presser regarding this unilateral act (without congress) revealed his heart regarding America and our founding once again. He said that we must leave colonialism and communism behind.  What exactly could he be talking about for the Castro brothers have no intention of leaving communism behind and who are the colonialist of which he speaks?  Naturally it must be the evil land grabbing Americans right?  Yeah we colonialized Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean, not!  No the Cuban people are living in abject poverty while the Castro brothers and their cronies live in wealth.  Mr. Obama said he was all for the ‘free transmission of information’.  I find that absolutely amazing since he is so free with information with Congress and the American people on the many scandals of his administration.  I guess ‘free transmission’ means the dissemination of what he wants us to see, hear, and read.  His ideology matches much of that of the despots in Cuba and other places whose views he seems to value more than that of America and Americans.  Mr. Obama even made the plight of the Cuban people with regard to the access to information our fault.  How wonderful he again trashes America and Americans when he and everyone else knows that tyrants rule in Cuba and will continue to do so longer now because of his actions.  What a Christmas gift to Castro not Cuba and another spear hurled at our constitution by this lawless one.

Blog Post - Terrorism Definition

Mr. Obama, in my view, is driven by the same kind of hatred that our enemies around the world and nothing short of total destruction for our Republic will suffice in their minds.  The Islamist want to bring Sharia to us and eradicate anyone who will not convert and Mr. Obama is so filled with racial and national antipathy that he and his wife fabricate incidents of oppression toward them and discredit all the good America has done and represents.  This man, in my view is an IDEOLOGICAL TERRORIST at war, in his heart, with our American constitution, founding principles and America!

That does not cover all I’d like to say but is all the time and space I can allot at this time.  I plead with everyone who prays to earnestly intercede for our nation and those who are charged with leading her.  I urge you to become informed, listen carefully hearing what is said and what is not said and invest your time and energy into the pursuit of a restored constitutional republic.  Mr. Obama is not our only problem but if we do not somehow prevent him from completely destroying America during the next two years the elections of 2016 will be meaningless.

            God bless you and God bless America!

THE BIRTH OF A NATION IN AMERICA….


Blog Post - Birth of A Nation

Some have said that the American Revolution was 169 years in the making and began long before 1776.  I tend to agree.  It was birthed in the hearts of the colonist long before 1700.  The independent spirit of those immigrating to the colonies, the distance from parliament and the king in England virtually guaranteed that direct rule was impractical if not impossible.  The idea of self-government arrived with the Pilgrims as is evidenced in the Mayflower Compact and the Quaker beliefs made equality in the community a norm.  The Great Awakening introduced new faiths on American shores where equality between laity and clergy was often practiced.  The newspapers of the colonies practiced freedom and the trend was to ignore English law and with the flood of people coming to the colonies with no loyalty to the crown rebellion and revolution were almost guaranteed.

Enlightenment called the ‘Age of Reason’ produced scientist like Isaac Newton and writers such as John Locke who fearlessly challenged the old order.  Locke championed the right of the people to change a government that did not protect the ‘natural rights’ of life, liberty and property. Jean-Jacques Rousseau declared that society should be ruled by the ‘general will’ and Baron de Montesquieu argued that power should never be concentrated in the hands of any lone individual.  He advocated separation of powers between executive, legislative and judicial branches as a safeguard for freedom and liberty.

Blog Post - God and Country

 In the 1730’s a revival swept through the colonies and men like Jonathan Edwards began to fear that the people were becoming too concerned with worldly matters and preached his infamous sermon, “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God.”  Other ministers became actively involved in politics and helped shape the push toward independence.  Then came the trial of John Peter Zenger, a New York printer of German descent who published the ‘New York Weekly Journal’ and accused the royal governor, William S. Cosby of rigging elections and allowing the French to explore the New York Harbor.  Zenger was arrested and accused of libel which in that day meant you opposed the government and truth’ meant nothing.  Andrew Hamilton of Philadelphia chose to defend Zenger and argued that this was not a case about a printer but the cause of liberty.  The judge ordered the jury to convict Zenger if they believed he printed the stories but in less than ten minutes they declared him NOT GUILTY. This was in a time when there was no First Amendment.

There is little doubt Mercantilism affected how the British dealt with the colonies and how they viewed them which helped to propel the colonist into a mindset of rebellion and desire for independence which would allow them self-rule.  In 1676 we had Bacon’s Rebellion when Nathaniel Bacon led a group of citizens in a search for justice against Governor Berkeley.  Similar events transpired in South Carolina and from 1765 to 1767 outlaws roamed the landscape terrorizing the farmers and a band of vigilantes known as regulators took the law into their own hands and removed the outlaws. There were land riots and the Paxton Boys marched on Philadelphia in 1764 to protest the Quaker’s friendly Native American policies.  The colonists were becoming experienced in rebellion and demonstrated a willingness to take up arms against what they deemed to be unfair governmental actions.  The famous cry:  “Don’t Tread On Me” was birthed in this era.

Blog Post - Don't Tread

Some have suggested that the French-Indian War actually became the cornerstone for the coming American Revolution as the colonist saw the barriers between regions lessened and the first signs of Nationalism birthed.  They learned that Americans could come together and defeat a common foe and in a few short years they would do so again giving birth to the United States of America a constitutional republic.  Many things contributed to the actual rebellion including the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, Boston Massacre, the Tea Acts, and the Intolerable Acts led to the First Continental Congress where the colonist still wanted peace but the right of representation.  All this failed and ultimately we came the Revolutionary War, the securing of Independence and the birth of the United States of America.

Time would never allow a complete historical review but suffice it to say that at the heart of American Independence is the unequivocal commitment to man’s natural rights as given by God to Life, Liberty, Property and the Pursuit of Happiness.  That brought about our birth as a nation and is the only thing that can preserve her.  If we fail to become involved and engaged we guarantee our failure.  The choice is yours – Liberty or Tyranny! 

            God bless you and God bless America!

DON’T YOU FEEL BETTER NOW???


Blog Post - Feel Better

The mid-term elections resulted in wresting control of the Senate from the Democrats with their leftist agenda, secured the House and was an open referendum on most if not all of Barack Obama’s policies so we get to move forward to fix this mess, right?  WRONG!  When Barack Obama was first elected and his party had control of both, Houses of Congress, the White House and it appeared the Supreme Court in their pockets the Republicans complained and he famously declared, “Elections have consequences.  You lost.”  So one would assume that since there was such a resounding rejection of this agenda the Republicans would be emboldened to do the will of the people and honor the constitution and the Democrats would assume the role of losers and tone back their assault on liberty but if you do you would be in for a rude awakening in 2015-16.

Almost immediately the leadership of the House and Senate along with some notable presidential hopefuls there was the conciliatory olive branch extended and they began talking and acting as though they lost the election.  The president, Democrats, and media began harping that what the American people wanted was compromise by the Republicans.  The voting public kicked out of office many who walked in ‘lock step’ with Barack Obama and his destructive policies and that was somehow an indication that they wanted the Republicans to ‘play nice’ or by the Democrat rules.  Are you kidding me? 

Blog Post - Thumbs Up Down 

People like Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney almost immediately began to insist that using the power of the purse, was a mistake and that the Republicans had to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill or it would be devastating in November 2016.  Hey guys what just happened?  The so-called government shutdown occurred in the closing days of 2013 with only about 15% of the government actually shut down while the rest continued as normal including every welfare check going out as scheduled and on time.  Barack Obama made an open display of acting outside his authority, irresponsibly if not illegally and immorally in closing some things that were not necessary and was joined by the chorus of Democrats, the media and some of the liberal Republicans (if you can call them that) attacking the Tea Party and any Constitutional conservative voice in Washington calling them terrorist and a blight on human-kind.  However, when the elections rolled around what happened?  The House and Senate were placed in the hands of the Republicans who were accused of SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.  Could it be that the people want the government reduced, spending reduced, the deficit reduced, the size and scope of the federal government R E D U C E D???   That would be rational to think that but not so with Mr. Obama, the Democrats and the Republican establishment.

Blog Post - Tyranny

We had Mr. Gruber admitting that THEY LIED about Obamacare and the immediate distancing of themselves from him claiming “I don’t know him”.  Oh well, covering a lie with a lie is the normal practice of those who lie as we have observed for six years now with this administration.  Mr. Obama considers himself above the law, without constitutional restrictions and the Supreme Court has suggested that a president’s use of executive orders can be deemed acceptable if Congress does not move to stop those actions.  Since the Republicans have no spine, the Democrats agree with his agenda and the media is his lap dog why would he hesitate to move on Amnesty, vilify the police forces around the nation, attack conservatives through unlawful use of government agencies, negotiate and cooperate with terrorist, and fan the flames of discord along racial lines?  WHY NOT?  After all he has become assured that there will be no move to impeach, no censor, no override of any veto, and no action of Congress to dry up the flow of cash or credit.  In simple terms, NO RESISTANCE by the opposition party!  NOPE, what we have is a lame duck president acting as a king and a party in power acting as though they lost the election.  That has to make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy in side.  So Merry Christmas from Congress and the White House America they get the gold mine we get the shaft.  There is hope only if WE THE PEOPLE form, such an alliance and protest via civil and legal means to get their attention and then in 2016, if necessary, send the lot of them packing.

WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION – – IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE ….


Blog Post - Not Rocket Science

Does it bother you as it does me when you hear reports, read statistics and do simple mathematical calculations regarding the announced unemployment rate, the workforce participation percentages and the numbers of work age people not working?  According to a September 2014 report there were over 92 million people 16 and older who do not participate in the workforce and that equals a 36 year low participation rate of 62.8%.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the civilian non-institutional population was 248,229,200 and there were only 155,959,000 of them participating in the workforce.  Let me take that a step further the report is that there are only 155 million who either have a job or have actively sought one over the previous four weeks.  How in the name of mathematical reason can the unemployment rate be hovering around 6%?  That is not possible using honest statistical calculations but that is what the White House tells us.  I believe the real numbers are in excess of 12-15% but will stay with those numbers to be charitable.

Blog Post - National Debt

When you add to this that the national debt has exceeded $18 TRILLION, an increase of 70% since Barack Obama took office in 2009.  The debt under his watch has increased astronomically under his watch, who as a U.S. Senator declared that it was ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘irresponsible’ to add $4 TRILLION to the debt in reference to George W. Bush’s administration.  This means that every man, woman and child in the United States now owes $56,250+ toward the national debt.  Yet we are told that our economy is coming back, the recession has long been over and Mr. Obama’s policies are working.  Unfortunately, a significant number, if not a majority, of Americans have found their income reduced and their net worth diminished with no real prospects of it getting better any time soon.

The welfare participation rate in America reflects at least 49.2% of the population receive government benefits in one or more government programs as reported by the Census Bureau in 2011 and that has grown since then so we are likely past the point of no return where over half of our citizens are receiving government benefits of some kind.  We have almost 27% of Americans receiving Medicaid and under Obamacare Americans earning less than 400% of the poverty level will qualify for a federal subsidy.  We know that over 47 million people are receiving food stamps.  The report from the Department of Agriculture is that we have 23,052,388 HOUSEHOLDS receiving food stamps over 700,000 more than 2012.  Does that sound like things are getting better?

 Blog Post - Economic Collapse

In today’s America it is no longer necessary for a person to work to eat, drive a car, have cable television, the internet, a cell or smart phone, and do most of the things that a few years ago would have been impossible without an income.  I completely understand that there are those who WOULD WORK but cannot find work.  I also know that there are some who only TOKENLY look for work and for one reason or another do not accept the jobs available.  I also know that there are those who have become PROFESSIONAL entitlementrapenurs (not a word) completely content to allow someone else to fund their lifestyle.

Now we are have open borders and legalizing millions of illegals to come or stay in this country which will add to the welfare rolls, increase healthcare costs and burden our educational systems and every sector of our society.  I must ask, for what reason?  It is to complete the objective of ‘fundamentally transforming’ America into something other than a robust self-sufficient, solvent constitutional republic and enslave the populace to the socialistic programs, ideology and policies of the leftist in this nation.  The Statist of both major parties have engineered and participated in the systematic dismantling of America.  Short of a full Constitutional Convention and a throwing out of our government I’m not sure there is a remedy.  Where will we go?  What will happen to our beloved nation?  At this point I am convinced that short of a miracle by God they have successfully trampled our constitution.  That being said, I will not cease to cry from the rooftops for a return to the principles upon which we were founded as is evidenced in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and the writings of our founding fathers as they sought to align this nation with godly moral principles and afford permanent freedom and liberty to the citizens.

            May God bless America again is my prayer!

I’D LIKE TO GIVE THE WORLD AN ENEMA….


Blog Post - Enema

Do I have your attention yet?  Much of the world and especially the political world is so full of stuff that an enema would eliminate it is a thought.  In political campaigns and jockeying for position much is done that used to be called ‘mudslinging’ but I’m not sure it is mud that is being slung so the enema is an entertaining thought.

I am fed up and disgusted with ‘political speak’ and the verbal defecation that transpires when politicians have opportunity to get before a camera or microphone.  I cannot tolerate the ‘race baiters’ spewing their poisonous diatribe, inciting riots and fanning the flames of racial discord.  The bald-faced or bold-faced lies that come from almost every sector of public life scream the need to have a clean out of the alimentary canal of the world for too much of it seems to be so full of it that anything short of a complete colon cleanse is a waste of time.

Blog Post - Integrity

There was a time when our nation was not only willing but insistent upon people being held accountable for their words and actions.  Politicians were not ‘professionals’ but ‘public servants’ and ‘temporary’ holders of office unlike today which has produced a condition that, in the human body would require an enema to relive the problem.  The values that were present at beginning and held true for almost two centuries provided the public with recourse to relieve the condition and we did so without the 24/7/365 media reporting or propagandizing some particular agenda.  We were not afraid to ‘speak the truth’ and call ‘a spade a spade’.  Oh I know I can’t say that for someone will undoubtedly try to make it a racial slur of some kind and frankly I just can’t be concerned about that kind of small-mindedness.  I would, ten thousand times over, rather have someone tell me the truth than to make some politically correct attempt at sugarcoating or spinning something to make it somehow supposedly less offense.  The truth may hurt my feelings temporarily but if I am honest and truly seeking to be the best I can be it will only be temporary and will prod me into corrective action.

I had someone tell me some time back, “The whole world has gone crazy.”  While I know that is an exaggeration it is far from being a complete exaggeration for much of it is bordering on insanity.  There are no more vicious groups than those following a religious ideology or pursuing a religious cause as is the case with the Islamic jihadist such as ISIS.  The man in the Oval Office, the media, politicians, and many religious leaders insist that Islam is a religion of peace and that we must be tolerant.  That would be fine were it not for their own book they call their scripture calling for the systematic execution and slaughter of those who do not convert to their religion and their total lack of tolerance for anyone else.  If I could give those calling for this action an enema to rid us of this putrid ordure I would.

Blog Post - Politicial Pros

Politicians selling their souls for position, power, profit, cries out for immediate action.  Racist of all stripes promoting their brand of toxin demands an enema as the only logical prescription.  Those in the corporate world who are completely at ease with price gouging, unscrupulous profiteering and the environmental lunatics offer no hope short of a strategically placed powerful suppository to begin the immediate and total cleansing.  Can we do that?  Not literally but it might be fun.   However we can do it through prayer, continual education of all those we can influence, keeping pressure on the elected officials, and becoming more deeply involved in the process publicly, privately, socially, corporately, and spiritually.  The task before us is monumental and can only be achieved if we are 100% committed to securing or restoring liberty and a constitutional republic.  That will be our administration of an enema to the world!  Care to join me?

            May God bless you and may God bless America!

CONSTITUTION? WHAT CONSTITUTION?


Blog Post - Constitution

The latest example of Imperial Decree has come from Barack H. Obama the ‘wanna be’ dictator/emperor of the United States of America in granting what amounts to immediate AMNESTY to millions of ILLEGALS.  He touts it as humanitarian, compassionate, caring for minorities and doing the right thing when it has nothing to do with people but about party and ideology.  It is another of a long list of attempts to make the United States a one party government with the Democrats at the helm.  He envisions himself as Emperor no matter how many times he has declares publicly that he is not and cannot violate the Constitution or our laws but repeatedly does both with impunity.  This is dangerous because the Supreme Court has acknowledged that while his Executive Orders or Actions are questionable constitutionally, if Congress does not object and resist then they become valid and precedent setting.  Congress, for the most part, has proven to be spineless and even complicit in the advancing of the ALL POWERFUL central government mentality.  The Democrats relishing the power they have enjoyed and the Republicans licking their chops thinking that one day it will be their turn while both parties totally ignore the Constitution, law, and will of the people.

Some have cited Cesar Chavez as a hero on IMMIGRATION and claiming he would be supportive of Mr. Obama and the Democrats unconstitutional decree but facts and history do not support that claim.  They omit Mr. Chavez’s rabid opposition to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, undocumented works and his use of the term ‘wetbacks’ (his language not mine) referring to the illegals.  His opposition was a cornerstone in his organizing farm workers’ into a union and declared publicly and frequently that ILLEGALS hindered the efforts in holding a strike and prevented the legal American farm workers from getting the wages they desired and deserved.  He even ordered union members to call the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) reporting ILLEGALS who were working in the fields so they could be deported.  Mr. Chavez said:  “For so many years we have been involved in agricultural strikes; organizing almost 30 years as a worker, as an organizer, and as president of the union—and for all these almost 30 years it is apparent that when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike, and, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking.”  Somehow that does not sound like a proponent of AMNESTY to me.

Blog Post - Chavez

An even closer look at the situation we find that the UFW during Chávez’s tenure was committed to restricting immigration. César Chávez and Dolores Huerta fought the Bracero Program that existed from 1942 to 1964. Their opposition stemmed from their belief that the program undermined U.S. workers and exploited the migrant workers. Their efforts contributed to Congress ending the Bracero Program in 1964.

On a few occasions, concerns that illegal migrant labor would undermine UFW strike campaigns led to a number of controversial events, which the UFW describes as anti-strikebreaking events, but which have also been interpreted as being anti-immigrant. In 1969, Chávez and members of the UFW marched through the Imperial and Coachella Valleys to the border of Mexico to protest growers’ use of illegal immigrants as strikebreakers.  Joining him on the march were both Reverend Ralph Abernathy and U.S. Senator Walter Mondale. In its early years, Chávez and the UFW went so far as to report illegal aliens who served as strikebreaking replacement workers, as well as those who refused to unionize, to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

 In 1973, the United Farm Workers set up a “wet line” along the United States-Mexico border to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the United States illegally and potentially undermining the UFW’s unionization efforts. During one such event in which Chávez was not involved, some UFW members, under the guidance of Chávez’s cousin Manuel, physically attacked the strikebreakers, after attempts to peacefully persuade the illegal aliens not to cross the border failed.

The polls of registered Latino voters indicate there IS NOT overwhelming support of AMNESTY with 40% opposing it outright.  We find that 56% oppose ILLEGALS receiving federal benefits including Obama-care.  The most important issues for Latino voters reflected that 62% felt the economy was number one followed by 57% healthcare, 45% education and a mere 31% immigration.  We find that 45% of the non-registered voters felt the same.  If you combine those numbers you find that Hispanics are split on AMNESTY not what the president, Democrats, media, and Latino Activists groups would have you believe.

Blog Post - Constitution 1

 Mr. Obama’s lawless act is not about helping minorities it harms legal immigrants and low skilled workers many of which are minorities rather than helping them.  Shelia Jackson-Lee may say that we are selfish for not wanting to give up our jobs to those ILLEGALS but I suggest that she lead by example and give up her Congressional seat to an Illegal.  Oh wait, she cannot and will not it only applies to the rest of us not her and her elitist compadres.

Someone told me they were excited and hopeful that America could be saved after the mid-term elections and I said, “Let me see the 2016 election and who is elected before I allow myself to become overly optimistic for I have seen the Republicans self-destruct before and am not overly optimistic that they will not do the same again.”  God help us and send us men and women who love Freedom, America, the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and have a moral mooring that is rooted and grounded in the principles described and detailed in our American Constitution.   What we have today is  overt lawlessness and the intended shredding of the constitution.  This administration does not believe the constitution applies to them.  Thus prompting my title question:  “Constitution?  What Constitution?”

            May God help us and may He guard and guide our footsteps in this great nation! 

BARACK OBAMA: Cause or Result of America’s Problem?


Blog Post - Cause & Effect

I readily acknowledge that his policies ‘are a problem’ and ‘causing’ extensive harm to our Republic and Constitutional government.  That, to me, goes without saying but has to be said because millions still disregard the facts and are unwilling to face reality leveling charges of ‘racism’ against anyone who opposes anything he does.  That charge is preposterous but will not die anytime soon for it has proven to be an effective tool in either intimidating or deceiving voters and swaying public opinion.

The conditions that allowed someone like Barack Obama to become president have been developing for a very long time.  Someone with his ideology would never have been elected in the first 150 years of our nation and not because he is half-black but because he is Anti-American and the love for country would have rejected him soundly.  However, with groups like the Fabian Socialist and other Anti-Capitalism, Anti-American and Pro-Socialist groups for the past 100+ years we have seen the slow erosion of the moral fiber of our nation and world to the place that Barack Obama could occupy the Oval Office and have the title of President of the United States of America.

Blog Post - False Premise

We have slowly evicted God or the mention of God from public institutions claiming ‘Separation of Church and State’ as our mandate.  That poses a problem for me as I examine history and should for you as well.  Was it the objective of our founders to eliminate God or the mention of God in public institutions and government?  If so, why did they adopt prayer as a key part of their activities in the process of writing the constitution?  Why did they find it acceptable to open Congressional sessions with prayer?  Why did they deem it appropriate to have the President take his oath with his hand on a Bible?  Why did they deem it proper and right to have the Bible taught in the public schools?

I think we would do well to consider the words and actions of our founders in determining their intent.  The first and governing maxim in the interpretation of a statute is to discover the meaning of those who made it.  — James Wilson, in Of the Study of Law in the United States.   If they did not consider it abominable for the Bible, prayer and religious instruction in schools and beyond why do we determine they were obsessed with evicting God and the Bible from public life?  It is because the diligence of the atheist, socialist, and others who want to ‘fundamentally transform’ America have tirelessly fought to accomplish this and we believers have too long remained passive buying their idea taking a few words from our founders out of context and applying them to this issue.  The founders wanted to prevent the government from establishing a national religion not prevent religion from influencing the lives and thereby influencing government. 

OUR SLOW STEADY DECLENSION: 

  • Development of an Entitlement Society.
  • Eroding of the Traditional Marriage and Family Values.
  • Providing or allowing Abortion on Demand.
  • Apathy of the citizenry.
  • Allowing the PC Police to intimidate and control.
  • Evicting God from public institutions and events.

   Blog Post - Washington          

These are just a snippet of what is happening on a much larger scale in our society and government.  In George Washington’s First Inauguration in 1789 we find in his address these words:  “I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my Country can inspire: since there is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity: Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” – – George Washington 1789 at the 1st Inauguration.

I suggest that our failure to regard ‘eternal rules of order and right’ ordained by God Himself has allowed us to descend into the abyss of moral decadence, reject moral absolutes, embrace the devaluation of life in abortion, and cede to those who want a total rejection of our Judeo-Christian moorings and replace them with moral relativism.  Barack Obama is not the ‘cause’ of our problem but his is ‘the result’ of our problem as is his ideology and that of the left politically.  I would contend that the propitious smiles of Heaven are no longer on us because of where we have allowed ourselves to be led.  Joshua said to the children of Israel as they were preparing to enter the Promised Land, “Choose you this day whom you will serve….As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.”   I am unashamedly Christian and treasure the connection to God in our founding as a nation and desire a return to those foundational principles in America.   You may disagree and that is your right and privilege.  However, if you desire a Free America then please do what you know to do and can to see our Constitutional Republic preserved or restored.

            God bless you and God bless America!

AMERICAN APOCALYPSE – I HOPE I AM WRONG….


Blog Post - Apocalypse

I realize that some will not get beyond my title but if you have ventured beyond the title please hear the conclusion of the whole matter before rendering a judgment.  I truly pray that I am wrong on all or part of what I am going to postulate.  If I am not then the dark days of tomorrow will be worse than most of us have imagined and will find millions unprepared making them like ships without a rudder opening our nation and world for ultimate evil and destruction.

Now that the mid-term elections are behind us the time to work has just begun in a very real sense.  The task is monumental and time is of the essence for we must work in our very short window of opportunity if we have any hope of prevailing and preserving the nation.  Thus the most significant part of my work and warfare is through prayer but it cannot end there it must begin there.

Blog Post - Are You Ready

I see several things coming to America which will impact the entire world and possibly alter it forever.  My brother expressed his concern that the reduction in gasoline prices is a conspiracy of both the OPEC and this administration to destroy our oil & gas industry.  We know that Barack Obama and his cohorts hate fossil fuels and private enterprise especially oil & gas and OPEC would suffer a major hit were our exploration allowed to continue and we become energy independent.  If this is true and a significant portion of our exploration for oil & gas ceases or diminishes we can expect to see escalating prices to the levels of Europe in just a few short months or years.  I hope we are wrong!

Based on what I have heard from some knowledgeable people and my own biblical studies I expect our economy beginning with the stock market to crumble in 2015 creating such chaos that as 2016 is ushered in we could be seeing a form, if not full scale martial law, the nationalization of much of our economy, and an invitation for the United Nations to have boots on the ground on our soil enforcing some edict of this president and the United Nations.  I do not know if that would result in a ‘civil war’ but it most assuredly could.  I hope I am wrong!

If I am right and there is a coming crash or collapse in our economy worse than before there are some things that should be considered as we, individually, seek to get our financial house in order:

  • Seek to have at least one vehicle paid for.
  • If possible get out of debt.
  • If you are in the stock market watch it carefully and if you see it moving negatively toward the fall of next year bail.
  • Hedge your investments with non-stock market items such as precious metals.
  • Do not take on new debt
  • Begin to consider having provisions to last for a few months and a way to grow your own vegetables.

 Blog Post - Surviving

 

            Survivalist mentality, maybe but common sense most assuredly and I realize that many cannot accomplish the things mentioned but do what you can.  On the spiritual front I suggest that you examine your relationship with God and surround yourself with like-minded people forming a network and support group.  On health, I would urge you to consider finding alternatives to the high priced prescription medications which will likely become impossible to purchase or find and prohibitive due to price.  I hope I am wrong!

            I expect another major terrorist attack and possible outbreaks of communicable disease that will over-tax our healthcare system to the point it collapses.  A terrorist attack due to our porous borders is not, in my mind, if but when.  ISIS has taken a fairly significant amount of enriched uranium in Iraq more than enough to produce dirty nukes and suitcase bombs that could be transported and brought across our borders undetected.  Iran is moving steadily ahead in the pursuit of nukes and North Korea has them.  If either were to launch an ICBM or missile from a ship or some South or Central America country to be detonated high in our atmosphere the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) would virtually shut down all electronics in America.

Blog Post - Preparation

           If any of these transpire the chaos, rioting, and looting that will follow will plunge our nation into a virtual state of war in which we see a Hunger Games or the TV series Revolution type atmosphere with marauding murdering bands would be a living terror for all citizens and at that point many who have desired the banning of firearms would pray for a weapon for defense.  I hope I am wrong!

This is just a snapshot of what I see coming or potentially coming to our nation within the next two years.  I will not declare that America is under the judgment of God but if we were it would be deserved.  We kicked God out of our schools and public institutions in complete contrast to the practice and views of those who wrote our Constitution.  How could we conclude something unconstitutional that was practiced as a normal and vital part of society by the founders?   The willingness as a society to allow ‘abortion on demand’ for the sake of convenience or because the child in the womb is of the wrong sex would warrant judgment.  I did not call that life in the womb a fetus but a baby because, in my view and understanding of the Bible, that is what it is.  If that causes you to disassociate with me so be it but I firmly believe that.  When a society begins the process of devaluing life it is headed toward self-destruction for one acceptance leads to a more egregious one until society implodes.  I pray that we return to our founding moorings.

I apologize for the length and pray that God bless you and God bless America again!
