THE POWER OF POLITICAL OLIGARCHIES and PARTIES…


The American Oligarchy, Swamp, Deep State, or whatever you want to call it is incredibly powerful, far-reaching, and deeply entwined in everything government.  It may be beyond dismantling, short of a full-blown revolution and a total restructuring of our system of government.  I do not want a revolution.  I want a return to our Constitutional System of Representative Government identified in the term “Republic.”  I want what we were established to be.  I want a return to the governance, vision, and oversight desired and designed by the Founding Fathers.  I want what is repulsive to the Oligarchs, Woke Crowd, the Politically Correct, Globalist, and Statist of today’s politicized America.

If you were able to interview all Americans, you would discover that interspersed in our great republic people who have experienced the tyranny of despotic rulers, first-hand.  They fled those nations to seek a better life in a Free Country where Republicanism was the Constitutionally mandated form of government.  They would express, I am certain, their horror at the direction of today’s America and the would-be Oligarchs.

I have spoken to some who lived under the tyrannical regimes of various communist nations and they are bewildered at the insanity and in their words, the stupidity of many Americans today.  They are shocked and even angered as they watch the oblivious, self-absorbed, puerile wannabe autocrats in the political establishment drive their agenda to impose one-party dictatorial rule.  They know the dysfunctionality of that approach as well as the dangers.  They wonder how we, who have enjoyed the greatest of freedoms would so willingly relinquish our freedoms for freebies.  They wonder, but we are where we are, and it is on the edge of the precipice of destruction.

I, along with many far more informed, have watched the coup in our educational system and the multi-generations indoctrinated and, in a measure, brain-washed by the liberal diatribe and rhetoric.  History reveals the fallacy of the growing number of self-styled intellectuals and social elites thinking their brand of Socialism, Totalitarianism, and Globalism will be different from Europe’s failed attempts.  Their narcissistic gullibility and driving need to feel superior to us common folks make them easily manipulated by the unseen powers offering power, prestige, and control. 

I ran across something that George Orwell wrote five years before the publication of his seminal work “1984”.  He wrote, “There is this fact that the intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people.  On the whole, the English intelligentsia have opposed Hitler, but at the price of accepting Stalin.  Most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systemic falsification of history, etc. as long as they feel it is on ‘our’ side.”  Isn’t that interesting and insightful?

The belief that the ‘end justifies the means’ is in full flower in the Democratic Party and much of the Political Establishment of today.  They are supposedly knowledgeable and wise, but demonstrate a severe lack of educated enlightenment regarding history.  They believe they are superior to the average citizen and that we are too feeble-minded and ill-equipped to govern ourselves or make individual decisions for our families.  They fear people who think, and they appear completely incapable of generating an original thought and parrot the diatribe of Leftists dating back to the Fabian Socialists of well over 100 years prior.

The latest push of the Democratic Party and those of the Establishment on both sides of the political aisle is a “One Party Political System.”  The rulers want to rule, and we are deemed to be their serfs and should be grateful for the crumbs from their table.  History is replete with examples of nations that embraced “One Party Rule” and the abject failure and harm to the citizenry.

If we examine history, we find examples in Germany, Italy, modern Russia, and China.  Those should provide adequate warning to cause every freedom-loving person to stand firm against this proposed path of politics.  The unmistakable devastation physically and financially of WW I opened the door for the despots to arise.  History reveals that WW II swung wide the door for China to embrace Mao Zedong’s solidification of his ruling party’s supremacy and squashing all opposition.  What he did is what Big Tech and the Democrats are striving for today. 

It is more than a little disconcerting that in modern America, a nation not reeling from the chaos and destruction of a World War is willingly embracing the advances of the Oligarchs and Totalitarians.  America is the only country in the annals of mankind to sanction as an inalienable right the unrestricted right of the populace to ‘keep and bear arms’ as a bulwark against an oppressive centralized government.  Our Founders and Framers understood history and knew that power vested in the hands of a few could morph into totalitarianism.  They insisted that we have the right to defend ourselves.

I don’t know if the runaway train of destruction being advanced by the Socialist, Totalitarian Oligarchs of the Left will meet opposition sufficient to stop it or not.  I know that before long, under the current administration and the revealed agenda everyone will suffer.  Everyone that is, except the elitists who are in power and in bed with those in power.  Those in the loop may escape the devastation but the average citizen no matter their political position will soon face the crunch of the lunacy.  Will that be sufficient to cause an uprising?  I do not know but I do know the pain is going to be felt by most very soon.

The walls and National Guard in Washington, the open borders, the war on fossil fuels, the political correctness of the woke crowd, and the so-called ‘equality acts’ that are anything but designed for equality for all are beyond dangerous.  The only way they can enact their agenda is to transform American into a one-party system politically.  That is either through fraud, gerrymandering, manipulation, increasing the voting base via illegal immigrants, or collusion between the two major party establishments. 

It is necessary that we the people, become engaged, unified, and mobilized to not just win battles but permanently dispatch the megalomaniacs seeking total control.  If we do not resist their push to transform America into a One-Party Oligarchy, we will witness the loss of ALL our Freedoms and Liberties not just some of them.  We must become involved on the local level, the regional level, the state level, and the national level.  This is not a top-down fight but a bottom-up one.  We have to stop allowing the media and politicians to elicit knee-jerk emotional responses from us and consider the long-term overall issues, dangers, and needs of the nation.  Policies that are destructive long-term must be resisted and politicians advancing them must be dispatched.

If we are not willing to fight and even die for our Freedom and our Republic, we will lose it.  The Spirit of 1776 must be rekindled.  The Spirit of Obedience to God and Morality must be restored. I am not calling for armed insurrection or revolt, but I am calling for everyone to become committed to the cause of restoring America and keeping her the Free Constitutional Republic we were given in the late 1700s.  If we are not willing to risk, it all to save the Republic posterity will live under the tyrannical despotism of a One-Party All-Powerful Central Government.  I cannot live with rendering my children and grandchildren to suffer that fate.  Therefore, I stand for Liberty, and with the spirit of Patrick Henry and our Founders I say, “Give me liberty, or I might as well die.”

God bless you and God bless America!

AMERICA’S ILLNESS IS IT TERMINAL?


Yes, I said terminal illness, and that will not be received well by some, but it is what I see and hear in my heart of hearts.  The terminality of which I speak does not mean that America cannot be healed and revived.  Rather, it means that America cannot and will not survive if we continue the path we are on. 

I have spoken for many years on some things that could cause America to exit the stage of World Superpower and become more of a follower nation than a leader.  Again, I am bullish on America and patriotic to my core, so don’t assume that I am folding my tent and washing my hands of this Republic.  I will fight for her as long as I draw breath.  That is an absolute!  Yet, I see the signs of terminal illness in our nation. 

When a nation abandons God’s Word, His Righteousness, and Holiness you get what we are seeing in America today.  The sacrifices to our modern Baal in abortion reveal a moral breakdown that produces death, not life.  The political correctness, the woke mentality, the cancel culture, the insistence on ethnic wars, and the assault on the Bible, Christianity, the home, and marriage reflects a mental, moral, and spiritual condition that can only lead to decline, declension, and judgment.

The endorsement by this administration regarding biological males competing in women’s sports is not an example of inclusiveness but the expulsion of reason and sanity.  It is an affront to the Bible and God Himself.  It is reflective of a condition of heart and mind that dates back to the fall of Lucifer from Heaven and the repeated failures of man throughout history. 

We are witnessing a purge in our military and the prime targets seems to be skin color and political ideology.  No, it is not an assault on minorities but a demand that all white males acknowledge the fallacious and fictitious white privilege.  The push in the business world, education, the military, and even in the church for those whose skin pigmentation identifies them as Caucasian to fall on their faces in repentance at the altar of Woke-ness and Political Correctness.  It includes the idea of reparation for some sin of someone in the past by anyone resembling those who committed those sins.  That speaks of an illness that can only lead to destruction thereby qualifying to be deemed terminal.

Who do I blame for the condition that exists?  I do not lay the blame at the feet of the politicians, although they are blameworthy.  The pursuit of their ideological agendas and the quest for power is inherent in the beast.  It is who they are, so we should not be surprised when they violate the constitution and our wishes in the pursuit of their inclusion in the pinnacle of power.

I do not blame the activist, although they are worthy of their share of the blame.  However, like the politicians, they are blinded by their rabid ideological positions and driven to destroy everything that does not align with their belief.  It seems they truly believe they are right and everyone else is wrong and therefore have a mandate to vilify and destroy everything and everyone who opposes them.  I do not justify their antics or activities, but insist they are not the reason for our condition.

I do not blame the anti-religious, the atheist, the agnostics, and those who do not follow, believe or accept the precepts of the Bible.  They are assuredly part of the problem and share the blame, but they are not the reason for our decline.  They have perpetuated it and enhanced it, but they are a symptom, not the root cause.

Who do I blame?  I blame the followers of the Bible, the preachers, the prophets, and those who identify as Christians.  Yes, that includes me, for I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, believe the Bible IS the word of God and inspired, and have preached the gospel for over 50 years.  How, is it our fault that we are in the condition we are in?  How can I blame the followers of the Judeo-Christian faith for our terminal condition?

I say it because we slumbered and took the easy road when we should have been watchmen on the walls and sounding the alarm.  We allowed the educational system to be hijacked by ideological activists. Those who were not advocates of moral rightness, the constitution, our American system of Republican Representative Government, and the Free Market.  We allowed politicians to strip us of our liberties, infringe upon our inalienable rights, and impose restrictions on matters of morality and religion beyond their legal, moral, and constitutional boundaries.  We sat in silence, fat, happy, unaffected, and lazy and they stole our nation.

We adopted the mistaken idea that our Founders and the Framers of the American Constitution wanted everything of God, Religion, and the Church removed from Government.  The phrase, ‘separation of church and state’ became the guide, and many preachers and churches were either silenced either by belief or intimidation and the foxes were allowed to guard and ravage the hen house – America! 

We became complacent and some were more concerned with the identity of the ‘Man of Sin’ (Antichrist) than the ‘Sin of Man’, (Condition of Hearts).  Some adopted the view that faith was personal, and our lives were compartmentalized.  We have our religious lives, our home lives, our business lives, and our political lives.  I’ve said many times, “We are not cats, we do not have nine lives – WE HAVE A LIFE!  All the facets of our lives reflect who we are.

America is in a dire state today and if we continue in the direction we are headed we will soon see an economic collapse that will remove America from the world stage as a superpower.  With over $28 Trillion in debt not to mention the unsecured debt in the $100s of Trillions, our condition is terminal.  This administration has suggested stimulus checks for people on death row without family.  That is beyond nonsensical, it is diabolical.  Money does not grow on trees and we are insanely spending money we do not have to fix a problem that spending has caused.

The draconian and tyrannical actions of some political figures during the pandemic have revealed the fragile nature of our freedoms.  The alarming silence and willing compliance of the public reveal the fruit of the labors of decades in brainwashing and reeducating the masses.  That suggests the existence of a disease or condition that is terminal.  I hesitate to go to great length but feel I must mention a few things that could easily render America an afterthought on the world stage.

If we were to have a massive war and with the current purge and revamping of our military, we might not survive an assault.  An EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) would render America or any nation defenseless in a great measure.  The aforementioned economic collapse would render us incapable of contending or competing on the world stage and propel us to the back burner on the stove of world economics and power. 

The Scottish historian and professor Alexander Tytler wrote in 1787: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse [generous gifts] from the public treasury.  From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two hundred years.  These nations have progressed through this sequence:  Bondage to Spiritual Faith > Spiritual Faith to Great Courage> Courage to Liberty > Liberty to Abundance > Abundance to Complacency > Complacency to Apathy > Apathy to Dependence > and Dependence back into Bondage.” 

Another, I would be remiss if I did not include some predictions that came in various forms in letters and writings to Jefferson and others:  “Your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians not from without but from within your own institutions.” 

A moral collapse demands divine judgment and judgment is not always direct as with Sodom and Gomorrah it can be indirect.  That would be the removal of God’s protective hand and allowing the hordes to impose their will on society and render the nation powerless and ineffective.  I believe we are headed in that direction if we are not already there.

I also believe that America can be revived and although we may not be a major player in the end times as a superpower we can be a superpower spiritually and impact the world for the Kingdom of God and thereby see multitudes preserved and rescued from earthly and eternal destruction. 

The views I have expressed are mine and I believe they are birthed from what I am hearing in my spirit.  I have much more to say but have gone too long now.  I pray that you will join me and multitudes like me in intercessory prayer.  Believers and lovers of Freedom let’s accept our responsibility for the condition, repent, and become involved in restoration not just in politics and name-calling.

God bless you and God bless America!

WHAT DO THE HEADLINES TELL US?


Sometimes, just looking at the headlines on various media sites or over the news networks is telling.  I have told people that one of the ways you can know what is happening in the realm of the spirit is to watch the movies coming out of Hollywood.  The devil is keenly attuned to what God is doing, probably more than most Christians.  The media, politicians, Hollywood, academia, and the activists are all driven by something that, if their diatribe is deciphered will reveal the real battle behind the scenes.

Some may turn me off at this juncture because I just became too mystical or too spiritually motivated in my comments.  Some Christians do not believe in the spirit realm and when talk of satan’s influence or demons is inserted into the conversation, they exit stage left.  I do not see a demon under every bush and do not believe that the devil is controlling all that is happening in this world.  His influence is present, and it behooves us to be aware of his tactics and deceptions.

I want to make a statement before I launch into the headlines I have observed over the past few days and weeks.  My declaration:  we are focused on the wrong things and therefore cannot hope to achieve the desired objective.  If one begins wrong, they will end wrong most of the time.  If the foundation is faulty, the building is unstable.  If the basic premise is flawed, then the targeted objective is unlikely to be achieved.  I believe that Christians, Patriots, and Lovers of Freedom in America are putting our eggs in the wrong basket.

That demands a bit more explanation.  We have largely focused on our divisions and differences politically.  We have done that religiously, socially, relationally, and in many areas of life.  Drawing the line in the sand and daring the other side to cross that line or knock the chip from our shoulders will never achieve the desired restoration of America that most of us long for.  It will expand the chasm of division and corrupt our vision, objective, mission, and hearts. 

I believe that the focus needed is GOD!  Yes, I said, God! I believe that our republic was founded on biblical principles. I believe it was founded with the desire to produce a republic as described in our Independence Declaration. It was founded with an awareness and acknowledgment of His Person, Power, and Providence. 

If America was established on godly and moral principles, not political power, and control, then if we make political power and control the objective we err.  We have been in a cyclical condition for decades politically and that will continue if we do not return to our foundational ideals and embrace the words of John Adams, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Let me give you a brief list of some headlines that caught my eye and then express what I believe they reveal. 

  • Mom Tells School Board Why Critical Race Theory is Racist and Will Destroy America.
  • COVID-19 Vaccines Are Causing Heart Problems in Healthy Young Men.
  • Trump Was Right:  Study Shows Hydroxychloroquine Boosted Ventilated COVID Patient’s Survival by 200%.
  • After Inflation Earnings of Americans Have Declined in Every Month of the Biden Presidency.
  • Failed Bidenomics Threatens to Return Us to Jimmy Carter’s 1970s.
  • The Collective Insanity That’s Rapidly Erasing America.
  • To Survive, Republicans Must Become the Party of Liberty.
  • LEAKED CABLE:  Hillary Clinton Privately Warned France that Wuhan P4 Lab May Lead to Bioweapon Research.
  • ‘Pride’ Night at the Old Ballpark.
  • The Marxist Assault on America’s ‘Woke’ Military.
  • It’s Outright War on Conservatives.
  • I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar, Just not at the Olympics.

Some will read that list and say, “Disjointed and Unconnected.”  Some will question, “What’s the point?”  Those observations are not totally invalid, but I believe they are linked and provide a point worthy of consideration as to the condition of America.  The condition of this nation politically, morally, societally, economically, and spiritually.  That is why I say we are focused wrong. 

We are seeing the massive push of the Cancel Culture, Political Correctness, and the theoretical inclusiveness of the Woke Generation.  But there are sparks of encouragement here and there that Americans from many sectors are awakening to the dangers and pushing back.  I believe that we are seeing the beginnings of the rebirth of the Spirit of 1776 in America.  However, if we make the political our starting point and fight fire with fire hurling insult for insult, we will fail to achieve that revival and restoration.

The draconian efforts of politicians during the COVID-19 pandemic that has led to the demand that everyone become vaccinated as our only cure is opening the door to some glaring realities of the danger of rushing to produce a cure.  The data regarding COVID does not support the requirement for enforced shutdowns, mandated vaccines, and the other impositions that have transpired. 

The elimination of potential beneficial drugs and treatments because Donald Trump endorsed them is beyond insane and even diabolical.  I don’t care who endorsed a treatment, if the data indicates it is even limitedly effective, it is worthy of inclusion in the list of treatment options.  I believe those headlines indicate that there is a behind-the-scenes plan to achieve some of the Agenda 21 Population Control Objectives and Control through this virus or bioweapon, whichever it is. 

The economic policies, the inclusion of Marxist practices in our military, the forced acceptance of varied and even deviant sexual choices is revealing of the dangerous moral position of the Republic.  They also reveal the ineptitude of the politicians to effectively deal with problems without segregating America into camps and sects, pitting Americans against Americans.  Is that part of the plan to divide and conquer?  You have to answer that for yourself, but this American believes the answer is yes.

You cannot read the headlines of today or list to the news media presentations without realizing that our traditional, biblical, and moral foundations have been weakened if not eradicated.  When the courts, congress, and even some churches will not openly and affirmatively disavow the gender lunacy we place our children in danger.  We place the fabric of our society in danger and almost guarantee the unraveling of the basic fabric that has made us, arguably, the greatest nation on earth.

If you do not embrace the racial activism of the Left, the sexual preference agenda of the progressives, and the slaughter of the unborn, you are deemed the enemy.  Skin color does not make one a threat, but the attitude of the heart could. 

If we are going to see America restored, I believe we must return to our moral, spiritual, constitutional, and biblical values, principles, and positions.  We are flawed vessels and our republic has made mistakes but dismantling everything that made us great and produced the prosperity and freedom we have enjoyed is insane.  If we are going to see America return to being the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave and have any hope of becoming a nation where there is Liberty and Justice for All we must also become ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

God bless you and God bless America!

HOW CONCERNED SHOULD WE BE ABOUT?



Concerned about what, Roy?  About the Leftists Critical Race Theory indoctrination and implementation?  About the Cancel Culture?  About the agenda of the Leftists who want to restructure the American Constitutional Republic into an Oligarchy, Tyranny, or Authoritarian Totalitarian System of Government?  How concerned?  DEEPLY!

The Leftists Marxist radicals are pushing the incredibly racist pedagogy known as ‘Critical Race Theory’ and have literally destroyed the quality of education in public schools.  They have effectively done that in places like New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, and other bastions of toxic liberal thought and ideology.  Let me suggest that no city, no school system, and no state are immune or safe from this creeping cloud of destruction.  The ultimate goal is CONTROL, and that is not possible without the successful brainwashing of generations of Americans.  We are in the third or fourth generation of that effort.  The fruit is visible in American politics, entertainment, sports, and education.

They have, as always, are using benign-sounding names to cover their tracks.  One of those is ‘Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education’ (CR-S).  This is being implemented and Teachers’ unions and state education departments are buying into it and promoting it.  The result is blocking parental input into the education of our children and thereby relegating them to the indoctrination of the ideologues.  The result will not be pretty, but it is already dark and getting darker.

When I hear of departments of education implementing ‘equity audits’, ‘cultural proficiency training’, and ‘culturally responsive education programs’ I cringe.  This has been used before in despotic regimes of history and is not front and center in American education.  While the wheels of change turned, we rested on our laurels with a ho-hum attitude.  In a sense, we did this to ourselves by not being involved and informed.

In New York City the guidelines are brazenly clear, and they are devotedly seeking to develop a system of education that effectively destroys all moral and cultural values of family and faith.  Their guidelines state that they are targeting what they call, “A complex system of biases and structural inequities.”  They claim that those are ‘deeply rooted in our country’s history, culture, and institutions.’  They insist that our present system routinely confers advantages and disadvantages based on linguistic background, gender, skin color, and other distasteful characteristics.  They insist that these must be identified, understood, challenged, and fundamentally transformed.  That phrase again, ‘fundamental transformation.’

The pretext is to promote diversity, but it is designed to force parents and students to accept a curriculum deemed to be anti-racist.  That covers the entire spectrum of education from English to Math.  They insist that our current mathematics courses are embedded in white privilege and are racially biased.  They allow no discussion or dissent and parents with children in those systems must comply.

The quality of education is going in the tanks across the nation.  It took a nose-dive as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions but was already being diminished because of the diabolical desires of the Leftists. 

When you couple the implementation of the CRT to the Cancel Culture you provide a seedbed for anarchy and delusion that provides a super-highway for the Leftists to advance their agenda.  The Cancel Culture has its tentacles in some of our major corporations. They are using their economic and political clout to enforce some very radical cultural standards.  Disney is one such corporation that is fully on board with the Leftist agenda and the fundamental transformation of America.

The Leftists want no debate regarding CRT or the Cancel Culture.  It, like Climate Change, is supposedly ‘settled science’ and therefore those of us who disagree are to be muted if not eradicated.  Part of the problem with corporations is economics. They truly believe that the rabid Leftists will negatively impact their acceptance and thereby their profits, so the rest of us be damned. 

Corporations are convinced, I am convinced, that the often violent social media mobs present a legitimate and serious threat to their bottom lines.  Therefore, they are willing to censor, silence, cancel, and reject any dissent to the politically correct Leftists Marxists ideology and agenda.  Conservatives, Constitutionalists, and Evangelicals need not apply to many of the corporations.  If you have ever posted anything contradicting the Leftist’s rhetoric you are to be permanently black-balled.

The insanity of refusing to allow honest and open debate is contrary to everything that America was formed to be.  It is a direct violation of the spirit and intent of our Founding Fathers, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.  It is contrary to the teachings of the Bible and flies in the face of reason and logic.  Truth is capable of withstanding critical analysis, but falsehood cannot survive light being shined upon it. 

We are going to see more and more of this in the days to come and the longer we are in the clutches of people like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, et al we are in deep trouble.  The longer we allow the Leftists who are proponents of canceling our true history and indoctrinating or brainwashing our youth we will move farther and farther away from Americanism and Freedom.

It is time that we develop alternative media outlets to counter the cancel culture and the CRT.  It is time that those of us who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible return with a whole heart to God and His principles and precepts.  It is time that we become true intercessors and bombard heaven with prayer, praying the Promises of God and shunning the very appearance of evil.  There is no place for ‘secret service’ Christians, we must run to the battlefront and become those who stand in the gap and make up the hedge.

America, we can recover but it will take a move of God! It will require a willingness to die for Freedom from those who love Liberty!  I am not saying we have to die, but we have to be so committed to liberty that we, as did the Revolutionaries in our beginning, become willing to risk everything even life for Freedom!  Will you join us?

God bless you and God bless America!

THE 14TH AMENDMENT DOES NOT GIVE BLANKET BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP…


With the New President’s agenda to legalize and make citizens of the presumed 11 Million Illegals now in the USA, I feel the need to address this again.  I keep hearing people on the Left and the Right insist that if a person is born on U.S. soil, they are automatically a citizen.  THAT IS WRONG!  Before you insist that I am wrong and throw something at your computer screen let me delve into this again for the umpteenth time.

The Democrats railed against President Trump when he declared that he would issue an Executive Order ending “birthright citizenship.”  They called him everything but a human being and made him worse than Lucifer and a reincarnation of Genghis Khan.  Now that President Biden is about to take the opposite path and attempt to bypass both Congress and the Constitution and provide amnesty, that is deemed justified and praiseworthy.  I consider it both unconstitutional and dangerous.

Many on both the Left and the Right fail to comprehend the actual wording and the intent of this amendment.  It, like many things, has morphed into something other than the original intent.  I offer my two cents hoping to bring some clarity to the argument. If I achieve that after numerous attempts, it will be nothing short of a miracle, but I feel compelled to place myself on the chopping block again for the sake of the Republic and the Constitution.

Illegal Immigration and Amnesty are not secondary issues in today’s political climate.  The anti-Trump Bret Baier of Fox News during the 2016 presidential election made it clear that he and many do not understand the intent of the authors of the Amendment nor the Founders of the Republic regarding citizenship.  This issue is, in many respects an economic issue.  It is assuredly a national security issue.  It is unquestionably a national sovereignty issue and is a moral and social issue. 

At one time I thought that if a person was born in the United States. I thought that they were automatically afforded citizenship by the Constitution of these United States.  As a student of history in college and over the past 50 plus years I have discovered the writings of the authors of the 14th Amendment and their view of what that amendment was designed to do.

The 14th Amendment, as per Senator Jacob M. Howard of Michigan in 1866 wrote, “…every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States.  This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.” 

Please note the words “subject to the jurisdiction” do not simply mean being in the country physically but means “not owing allegiance” to any other foreign nation.  It is not just the physical jurisdiction but the complete jurisdiction of the United States of America.  Illegals cannot make that claim for they are ILLEGAL! 

In 1866 Senator Edward Cowan wrote, “A foreigner in the United States has a right to the protection of the laws; but is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word…”  The words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” were intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete.  

The Native Americans were not initially included as citizens, although born here, because it was not perceived that their allegiance was not completely to the United States but to their own tribal councils.  Regarding illegal aliens here in the United States unlawfully, their native country has a claim of allegiance, of the child as well as the parents.  Therefore, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired and precludes automatic citizenship.  The proper interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.

In the “Slaughter-House Cases” the Supreme Court confirmed this restricted interpretation of citizenship.   In 1884 Elk v. Wilkins, the phrase, “subject to its jurisdiction” was interpreted to include “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens of foreign states born with the United States.”  In Elk, the American Indian claimant was considered NOT an American citizen because the law required him to be “not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.” 

The Courts essentially declared that the status of the parents determines the citizenship of the child.  To qualify children for “birthright citizenship”, based on the 14th Amendment, parents MUST owe, “direct and immediate allegiance” to the United States and be “completely subject” to its jurisdiction.  Simply, they must be citizens of the United States of America.

The argument that simply being born here automatically affords “birthright citizenship” in the United States is to ignore the wording and intent of the Amendment.  One cannot simply self-immigrate ILLEGALLY and then claim jurisdiction because they are here.  They are citizens of another country and subject to the jurisdiction of that country.  They become subject to our laws but that does not give them citizenship.  

The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, was primarily directed at extending citizenship to the freed slaves.  The Amendment’s wording was derived from the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which provided that “all person born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power” should be considered citizens.  The Amendment was intended to give citizenship ONLY to those who owed their allegiance to the United States and were subject to its complete jurisdiction.  Senator Lyman Trumbull, R-IL, a key figure in its adoption stated, “subject to the jurisdiction” meant not owing allegiance to any other country.

American Indians did not become citizens UNTIL Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.  There would have been no need to pass such legislation if the 14th Amendment extended citizenship to all people born in America, no matter what the circumstances of their birth, and no matter the legal status of their parents.  I pray that everyone, including the Supreme Court Justices, always consider that fact and realize based on the wording and the declarations of the framers the original intent.  Birthright Citizenship is not part of our Constitution, politicians have made it so not the document itself.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 defined citizens of the United States as, “all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding American Indians not taxed.”  The question of American Indians Senator Howard argued, “…have always been in our legislation and jurisprudence, as quasi-foreign nations”. Senator Lyman Trumbull (D-IL) agreed with Senator Howard stating, “…it would be a violation of our treaty obligations… to extend our laws over these Indian tribes with whom we have treaties saying we would not do so.”  Trumbull insisted that the Indian tribes were not subject to our jurisdiction in the sense of owing allegiance solely to the United States.  He stated, “…it is ONLY those persons who come completely within our jurisdiction, who are subject to our laws that we think of making citizens.”

The clincher or fly in the ointment in this is that Section 5 of the 14th Amendment reads:  “Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”  That includes Section 1 deemed the “citizenship clause”.  Would Congress pass legislation granting “birthright citizenship” to the children of illegal aliens?  Do wild bears live in the woods?  If they follow the arguments of the authors of the clauses and amendment, they would not but if they follow present-day political correctness they would.  What do you think would be the case if the Democrats and RINO’s control the White House and/or Congress?  You get the Gold Star it would be Amnesty and Anchor Baby Citizenship automatically.

Back in 2016, I was traveling to East Texas for a Nursing Home Program with my brother and heard a Republican candidate for a political office in my State speaking.  He was, as they all do, proclaiming his great conservatism and the subject of immigration came up.  He made the following statements saying he supported:

  • Removing the Citizenship Birthright of children of Illegals.
  • Making the ‘guest workers’ have a biometric ID card.
  • Ending the bi-lingual ballots for voting

The host lauded him for his conservatism on those points then he said with regard to Immigration Reform.  He supported the Republican Immigration Reform Plan which, as he stated it was: “Giving those of the 12 million or so ILLEGALS Green Cards, making them Guest Workers but without a pathway to citizenship.”  He reasoned that we could not deport 12 million illegals and because we could not catch them all. Therefore, in his mine it made no sense to have ICE or the Border Patrol looking for them.  He said that not taking this step would be a de-facto amnesty.  He argued that focusing on the illegals would detract from securing the border and rather than securing the border, reducing the number of immigrants who can come, and enforcing the current laws on immigration that because we could not catch them all the law should not be enforced. 

To his credit, the host challenged that, and I was yelling at my radio – REALLY?  My question was if we have bank robbers and can’t catch them all, do we cease enforcing the law?  If we cannot catch all those driving under the influence, does that mean that we should not enforce the law?  What law do we have where we make it a requirement that 100% are apprehended to make the law valid? 

This candidate further argued that most of the 12 Million Illegals do not want to be citizens just work and that by making them legal we would suddenly have an enormous influx of tax revenue pouring into the coffers.  Really?  If they know that the law is not going to be enforced and do not want to vote or be citizens then what would motivate them to identify themselves and make them liable for taxes, etc.?

I do not believe that illegals should get free tuition to go to college.  I do not believe that they should receive free health care, food stamps, or any other entitlement.  I also say to the employers who knowingly employ illegals you are also a lawbreaker and should face the brunt of the law.  This is an issue concerning those who were born here or brought here at a very young age by parents illegally but do not see how that mandates that we just give what would become nothing more than blanket amnesty to those that have broken our laws and thumbed their noses at our constitution. 

Immigration is just one of the many issues we are facing and securing our borders must become one of our top priorities.  We have the resources to accomplish that and it is my view that enforcement of the law reduces the number of those breaking the law over the long haul.  It certainly gives pause to some who weigh the consequences.  Those for whom consequences are inconsequential will do what they do regardless, and no reform will change that.  Criminals who have utter disregard for the law will not magically change.

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

ACCORDING TO THE AOC/BIDEN CONSORTIUM, I Am a Denier and a Member of the Flat Earth Society…


I am not ashamed to state that I am among the many who do not believe that man is causing climate change, at least not to any degree of significance.  I believe that God knew what He was doing and knew what we would be doing when He created this orb upon which we live and the environment surrounding it.  I do not believe the Earth is as fragile as the Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Disruption Activists are shouting.  I do not believe that the most serious threat to the world is Climate Change, certainly not of the man-made variety.  I believe there are far more serious matters facing the world, the planet, and the people living on it now. 

Former President Obama fired every scientist who disagreed with his view.  The Leftists and Activists for Climate Change openly call those of us who do not buy the company line on Global Warming, Climate Change, or whatever they are calling it these days, deniers and deem us, ignoramuses.  The matter is not settled science.   The data used is like much data used by the government and activist groups, skewed to suit their argument.  It frequently omits pertinent data that would counter or call into question their assertion or hypothesis.  They are advancing a theory not a fact and I am not sold.  Therefore, I fall into the category of being a denier, in their view.  I am most assuredly am skeptical of their research.  My views are formulated through my interpretation of the Bible and the research I have been able to conduct. 

I read an article recently by a Nobel Prize Winner who will assuredly garner the ire of the activist and be placed high on the activist’s list of enemies to be destroyed.  Nobel laureate Ivar Giaever openly rejected Mr. Obama’s and the activists’ assertions that man-made global warming is causing climate change.  I happen to agree with Mr. Giaever, you may disagree and that is your prerogative.  Mr. Giaever has been a naturalized citizen of the United States since 1964. He has been in America for more than half a century.  He was born in Norway and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973.  Amazingly, he endorsed Mr. Obama in 2008 but then offered public criticism of Mr. Obama’s stance on man-made global warming and climate change.  That made him persona non grata to the Leftists.

I also agree with Mr. Giaever that global warming has its roots in two people: Al Gore and former UN Head Pachauri.  They advanced the curve to measure global warming.  In this formula, they take the average temperature of the world for an entire year measuring it to a fraction of a degree.  Let me suggest that if we consider the data from 1880 to 2015, the temperature increased from 288 K [degrees Kelvin] to 288.8 K or 0.3%. That suggests that the temperature for the past 135 years has been incredibly stable.  Isn’t that interesting?

That kind of statistical data suggests that global warming is a money-driven pursuit.  It has its roots in the agenda of the United Nations Initiatives which seeks to CONTROL people and uses this as a tool to achieve their end.  The hysteria and paranoia that our planet is on the brink of destruction and mankind on the brink of extinction due to man-made global warming are dangerous, destructive, and diabolical.  I have seen reports of murder-suicides over this issue by people becoming so deranged they cannot function believing that life, as we know it due to climate change, is over. 

Al Gore and others have become multi-millionaires due to this diatribe and hype.  I believe, as Mr. Giaever and many scientists that it is a non-issue and if we leave it alone the cyclical nature of the climate will take care of itself.  We go from hot to cold, from one extreme to the other and over time it balances out.  The recent storms in Texas and much of America reveals the cyclical nature of our weather.  We have extreme cold, extreme flooding, extreme heat, and extreme drought from year to year.  Yet, somehow the planet magically survives and thrives. Imagine that!

I would like to ask the scientist and activists who are using this issue to create hysteria, “What is the optimal temperature for the earth?”  The push to outlaw bovine flatulence and carbon dioxide emissions is beyond ludicrous, it is inane and insane.  Plants need CO2 to grow and we need plants to maintain our atmosphere.  If we could somehow stop CO2 emissions, we would destroy the planet in short order.  Is that the objective?  The objective like most things pushed by the powers that be is CONTROL not CONCERN for health and safety.

I would remind everyone that during the past 100 plus years, the temperature has only risen 0.8 degrees.   I do not believe that things have become so dire we must seek shelter to survive atmospherically.  Statistically, we live better, have better work, and better health today than 100 years ago.  Therefore, it is reasonable to say that with the 0.8-degree rise in temperatures we have not produced a negative effect.  Yet, if we listen to the alarmist, we will find ourselves paralyzed by fear and in a state of panic.  After all, if the temperature goes up another 0.8 degrees we will surely die! 

You may find my assertions repulsive and uninformed, but I find them refreshing and have renewed my confidence in God and His creation.  I have lived through winters in Texas where there were sub-zero temperatures (2021 is the most recent) and winters where it hardly reached freezing and then the cycle repeated itself.  The same with summers where the temperatures soared to well over 100 degrees and then summers so mild, we wondered if we were living in Texas and the cycle repeats itself. 

I believe that God is still in control! I am all for conservation and being good stewards of the planet, however, I do not believe it to be as fickle as the alarmist would have us believe and recognize that the political elements of this movement are about CONTROL, not CLIMATE! 

I do not trust the government or those who seek to control us through their legislative efforts and executive fiats.  I am reminded of James Madison’s article in The Federalist Papers, No. 51, published February 6, 1788.  He said: “It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.”

Therein is the problem, men are not angels, and those seeking to control us use fear, paranoia, and seize upon every crisis to advance their agenda and increase their power and control.  I believe in and trust God not the government.  I believe that God created a planet well capable of sustaining life until Jesus returns, and He creates the New Heaven and New Earth.  I stand on the words of Genesis 8:22, “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, and day and night Shall not cease.”  Amplified.

            God, bless you and God bless America!

MEANINGLESS OATHS OF OFFICE – Doom Any Republic…


If the Oath of Office all elected officials are required to take is meaningless, the Republic is doomed.  I took an oath when I entered the military back in the mid-1960s and I have never gone back on that pledge.  I took it as a solemn promise to my nation and that promise is still valid in my heart today.

The Military Enlistment Oath we took was read by a superior officer and we repeated it.  I solemnly swore or affirmed that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic.  I did not think then that I might see a day when the enemies posing the greatest threat were domestic.  I pledged to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution and promised to obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  We concluded with “So Help Me God.”  I felt I was promising my country and my God that I would faithfully perform the assigned duties in defending America.  That was serious to me then, and serious to me now.  I was raised to believe that a man’s word was his bond.

John Keats ended his Ode to a Grecian Urn with, “Truth is beauty, and beauty is truth – that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”  Those were lines from an early 19th-century poet and may seem inconsequential, but they provide a window to view our postmodern relationship with the truth.  Today’s politicians are so loose with the truth, they would not know it if it were to bite them in the butt.

Politicians contain the same sentiments as that we were required to take entering the military.  Regardless of the office, they all PROMISE (Swear or Affirm) that they will support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.  That does not mean treat it like yesterday’s newspaper or toilet paper.  It means to understand it, adhere to it, and obey it.  It means to be governed by its guiding principles and not go beyond its limits. 

If the Oath of Office conveys any idea, it is that of patriotism, constitutionalism, law-abiding, and honesty.  Those words seem empty when applied to most modern politicians for they seem to be polar opposites of those values.  The words of John Henry Newman describe today’s politicians and much of our society perfectly.  He said, “A peculiar thing about humans is that they cannot accept something intellectually until they accept it emotionally.”  Many are unable to see the lies because they are emotionally invested in the lie or the ideology behind the lie.

There are those in our society who value truth and view it as something outside themselves, independent of their thoughts and feelings and is the goal to which they aspire.  It seems that truth is viewed as something to be envisioned but never possessed.  Why?  Because there is no commitment to practicing the virtues of truth.  To them, it is only a dream, idea, or theory.  Others see truth as something malleable, plastic, and utilitarian.  They believe that their truth is superior to any other truth and becomes THE TRUTH everyone must embrace.

As Christians, if we take an oath before God, we do so with a consciousness of the Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent Creator observing our words and actions.  If we fail to fulfill our promise or oath to Him there are eternal consequences.  No, I am not saying, God won’t forgive us if we fail. He will, but if we vow a vow to God, He expects us to keep our word.  He keeps His!  We should do all we do as unto the LORD and that means if we make a commitment to others, we should consider it a commitment to God.  Our Word is Our Bond!

In today’s society, especially in the realm of politics, I must ask, “Does experience or what we see in today’s world tell us that dishonesty is punished?”  I believe that the answer in politics is NO!  We watched the weaponizing of the FBI and other Intelligence Agencies and the blatant lies and distortions advanced by John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and a myriad of other Leftists with ZERO PUNISHMENT.  The Media has ignored their violations and desertion from honesty but if there is a question or opportunity to paint a Republican or Conservative in a bad light it is 24/7/365 coverage. 

We have been lied to for years, if not decades, by the media and politicians and yet we keep drinking at their wells and sending the violators back to Washington to continue their dirty deeds.  Do we even care about the Oaths of Office required by politicians?  Do we even know what the Constitutional Requirements and Limits are?  I will not answer that question, but you know what I think.

The Oath of Office and Promise to protect and defend the Constitution implies the willingness to preserve it as well.  In the secular or any other world, truth has no value if its absence has no cost.  If you can play loose with the truth, violate the oath of office, bypass, and subvert the Constitutional directives and it cost you nothing, then the Oath is meaningless, and the Republic is doomed.  Are we there?

The Romantic movement of yesteryear and the political correctness, woke-ness, and cancel culture has opened Pandora’s box making individuals and their emotions the judge of what is true.  Truth is truth, no matter how we feel about it or what we desire.  Sadly, those of us on the opposite end of that spectrum and those are committed to protecting, defending, and preserving the Constitution of the United States have not developed an effective response.  I say that to remind each of us that it is imperative that we return to our moral moorings as a nation and return to God.  We must make Truth universal and transcendent and affix a cost to violation of that objective.  Unless we do so we will never find common ground and move forward as a culture. 

Politicians today seem to believe they are above the law and superior to the masses.  We, in their view, are useful tools to obtain and advance their agenda.  If we cease to be of service to them, they seek to silence, marginalize, or eliminate us by any means possible.  They believe that our Promises are to be kept but theirs are fluid and they take the Oath of Office only as a formality not as a reality or commitment.  It is time that we save the Republic and Fire them All.

God bless you and God bless America!

CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL, or PROGRESSIVE???


I have been asked, “Are you a conservative, liberal, or progressive?”  I said, “In a strict non-political sense I probably am all three, but in a political sense I am a constitutional conservative.”  Those asking did not particularly like my qualifier.  The question has frequently caused me to do some introspection and examination of the political climate and thinking in America.  Definitions are often fluid and adapted to accommodate a particular point of view of desire at any given time, so I am careful when I attempt to define the three terms in my title. 

I have heard people on the political right argue that the election of Donald Trump in November 2016, would obliterate conservativism.  I contended and contend that Mr. Trump’s election did not destroy conservativism but made it stronger.  If conservatism is destroyed or being destroyed, that destruction began long before Mr. Trump’s entrance into the political arena as a candidate. 

I would argue that the demise of our Constitutional Republican form of Government has been in the works for over 100 years.  I also contend that some key elements have helped propel us toward Progressivism and destruction.  I believe that those took place during the early part of the last century with the passage and ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments to our American Constitution. 

Some suggest that in a very strict and literal sense, conservatism is opposition to drastic change and embraces caution and prudence, two things that politicians seem to be devoid of.  Conservativism, depending on what country you live in and the particular subject matter embodies varied and frequently very different definitions. 

If we debate the differences between American conservativism and progressivism, we can find some glaring differences.  It is my view, that American Progressives, at their core, reject the vision our founding fathers had for America and that which the framers of the constitution fought so diligently to provide.  They reject the idea that the Constitution is a safeguard for personal freedom and liberty.  They desire an All-Powerful Government in which it is powerful enough to and capable of ‘fundamentally transforming’ America by controlling Americans and our institutions. 

They have evolved from simply wanting Socialized Medicine in America to wanting an America that has socialized medicine, no borders, transgender bathrooms, censorship, mind-control, and government-mandated business practices.  They, like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, believe that America must be ‘fundamentally transformed’ because America was NEVER great or good.  They see the constitution as a hindrance rather than a safeguard and therein is a major difference in Liberals and Progressives as compared to Conservatives. 

Back to my point of the 16th and 17th Amendments is a major factor in the advancement of the Progressive Political Ideology and the demise of our Constitutional Republican Form of Government.  The Sixteenth Amendment opened a door that has allowed the bureaucracy of the federal government to grow into such a behemoth that it is insatiable and uncontrollable.  This amendment states: “The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” 

Daniel Webster and John Marshall comprehended the terribleness of taxation.  Mr. Webster argued against it in the case of McCulloch v Maryland.  He said, “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy.”  That warning and revelation went unheeded as this amendment was adopted on February 3, 1913. Both the 16th & 17th amendments were ratified in 1913 and they mark the beginning of the end of limited federal government.

In contrast to the bloody revolutions of progressives in other nations, the American progressives have largely resisted the pleas of such men as Bill Ayers who have called for a bloody revolution to overthrow the system of government they hate.  The American Progressives have heretofore taken the political approach of slow erosion.  That slow erosion has now become a runaway freight train traveling at breakneck speed down the path of destruction that includes violence in 2021. They have advanced the idea of a Living Constitution which allows them to modify, misinterpret, misconstrue, and misapply the words of that document as presented by the framers. 

Conservativism is, in a real sense, rooted in the idea and desire of restoring the Founders’ and Framers’ idea of America in which our inalienable rights are protected and defended.  It is based upon the pillars that our liberty must be preserved in the United States of America and by the government. 

We desire Limited Government, fiduciary integrity, and government frugality, and a government in which we are afforded all our constitutional and God-given rights and privileges without infringement by the federal government.  Government is not the provider of those rights and we should always warily remember the words normally attributed to Thomas Jefferson, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.”

If we allow the water of liberalism and progressivism to continue dripping on the rock of our constitution it will eventually erode it to the point that it is impotent.  We dare not let that happen and if we make our focus and fight personalities rather than preserving America, we will facilitate the attack.  I pray that we reject that tendency and temptation and RISE TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA!

The Biden Administration represents and reflects the Obama agenda on steroids.  The tyrannical use of Executive Orders and the steamrolling by the Democrat-controlled Congress to force-feed us their toxic brand of liberalism is destructive.  I am not sure what we can do short of a revolution, but I pray that we will find the ability and courage to put pressure on our elected officials to stand for America, the American people, and the Constitution.  I pray that we will, as a people, return to the LORD and those who are believers will make 2 Chronicles 7:14 the cornerstone of their daily lives.  I trust God not the government and as I view the situation, I am convinced that ONLY GOD can change this and preserve America.  However, we must be willing to stand in the Gap and make up the hedge.

God, bless you and God bless America!

KICK ME TO THE CURB IF…


I believe in Freedom of Speech for everyone!  Not just those I agree with.  I believe that all of our inalienable rights come from God, not the government!  I believe that everyone has the right to think what they please and express it.  I would hope they find it within themselves to do so civilly, non-personally, and peacefully.  If they do not, then they may find themselves violating the constitution and thereby the laws of the land.

Now to my title, “Kick me to the curb if…”  If what?  Thank you for asking.  In Amos 3:3, we read the declaration, “Can two walk together, except they are agreed?”  That could be a rhetorical question but let me answer it this way before I get to the if of my title.  Can two people walk together?  In Hebrew, the word for walk is ‘yalak’ which conveys the idea of literal walking as well as working and fellowship or pursue the same purposes.  The word together is the Hebrew ‘yachad’ which means united and is from a root word that means to become one.

In that light, the answer is No!  If there is no agreement in purpose, principle, and ideology, two cannot walk together.  However, I believe that the Bible teaches, and life is filled with examples of two people, not in agreement on many things being able to work together up to a point.  So, in that sense, the answer is Yes!

Now to my title statement and the if contained therein.  What is the if that ‘if that transpires’ I suggest or invite you to kick me to the curb or withdraw from me?  The if, cannot be defined in one statement but requires a very extensive list of things political, religious, social, economic, etc.  However, I will only focus on the political but everything I say and do is directly connected to my core convictions of faith.  Therefore, there is and will be overlapping between the political and religious.

If you support Abortion and Abortion on Demand, we have no basis of agreement from which to work or walk together.  I believe that life begins in the womb!  No, I believe that Life begins in the heart of God but as soon as that baby is conceived the purposes of God are set in motion and any violation of that plan is wrong.  I believe that life, all life, is valuable to God and therefore should be to us.  I believe that killing an innocent unborn baby is as reprehensible as any murder.  It is genocide and infanticide and that is foreign to my faith and therefore my politics.  If you believe that abortion is acceptable then you might want to kick me to the curb, because I believe it is murder. 

If you support Gay Marriage and believe that ministers and churches should be forced to perform those ceremonies with no regard for their core religious convictions, we have very little area to find common ground.  Let me make a statement that some may find compromising or confusing, but it is how I see things at this juncture of my life.  If two people of the same sex want to get married in a civil ceremony, they can or should be able to.  I believe their sexual preference and practice are violations of God’s moral and natural law. 

I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.  If you believe that ministers and churches should be legally forced to perform ceremonies for same-sex couples, then you might want to kick me to the curb, because I believe that is a violation of biblical truth and the Constitution.  You have the right to believe what you believe and what you do in your own home in privacy is a matter between you, your conscience, and God but if you drag me into it, you have violated my rights and we have no common ground.

If you support gun control, gun bans, or gun confiscation stripping legal law-abiding citizens of their constitutional and biblical right of self-defense we are on opposite sides of the issue and have no common ground.  The 2nd Amendment was not written to protect hunting or with hunting in mind.  It had nothing to do with deer but the right and obligation of citizens to defend their homes and families and to give the citizens a means to defend against a rogue tyrannical attempt of the government. 

If you insist on calling the AR-15 an assault rifle, when it is nothing of the sort, we have no common ground.  A military assault rifle has the capability and capacity to be either one bullet at a time or fully automatic.  The AR15s that citizens can legally own do not have that capacity. 

The statistical data does not support the need to ban long guns and the constitution prohibits banning all guns.  We have imposed laws that restrict and limit the ability to own a fully automatic weapon.  Your diatribe, rhetoric, and paranoia will only lead to more crime, more gun violence, and render citizens targets from abuse.  If that is your position, as is held by politicians such as Robert Frances O’Rourke the would-be next governor of Texas, we have no agreement. 

If you believe that it is justifiable to punish people for success and tax citizens into oblivion in order to provide entitlements and freebies for many who are unwilling to work, we have no common ground.  I begrudge no person anything they have earned or inherited.  If you were fortunate or misfortunate enough to have inherited a fortune that is your lot in life.  It is not mine and you owe me nothing. 

However, if I have earned it, developed it, and amassed it, or inherited it, I want no one and no government taking it.  They have no right to even one nickel of it without my consent and without proper representation for that money taken.  If you support the toxic liberal view of taxation, then you might as well kick me to the curb we have no path to walk together.

If you support allowing people who are not legally qualified to vote to cast a ballot in our elections, then we are polar opposites on that spectrum.  A deceased person is not a legitimate voter.  A person that is not a legal citizen is not a legitimate voter.  A person that is underage, a felon, or otherwise disqualified from voting is not a legitimate voter.

A person should be able to vote if they meet the qualifications such as identification and citizenship.  They should be able to vote in their state or precinct ONCE not dozens of times in various precincts or states.  If you find that acceptable then we have no common ground to walk together.

If you believe, as Joe Biden stated, that ANTIFA is just an idea and that the riots, looting, mayhem, and destruction over the past months if not years by BLM and other activist groups is justified, we have no agreement.  If you support the censorship being practiced by Big Tech, we have no common ground.  If you support the repeated attempts to make everything that disagrees with the Liberal Ideological position hate speech and banned, then we have no common ground. 

If you believe that America should coddle despots and terrorists hoping to appease them, then we have no common ground.  If you believe that pastors should be forced to submit their sermons to some government oversight board for approval before preaching, then feel free to kick me to the curb, we are in total disagreement. If you believe that being white is a mortal sin, then kick this Caucasian to the curb.  I will not apologize for my ethnicity.  God decided it and I celebrate who I am, and you should celebrate who you are.

If you believe that citizens must live under a mandate to satisfy the unverified claims of the Climate Change alarmists, then we have no common ground.  If you believe that America should adopt the United Nations Agenda 21 plan and embrace the Sustainable Development ideology, then we have no place for agreement. 

I believe that God created a very sturdy and viable planet and He knew all that we could and would do.  We should be good stewards of the environment, but it is not fickle as the alarmist would have us believe.  Fossil fuels are not the enemy but a blessing from God.

If you believe those things, I do not wish to strip you of the right to believe those things and will discuss them with you so long as that is done civilly, without personal insults and name-calling.  If you resort to insults and call for my destruction physically, emotionally, politically, and economically, we have no basis for agreement.  If you truly want to find common ground, we can discuss the matter but if you want me to cede to your views we cannot continue. 

As long as I have breath, I will stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom!  I will defend your right to enjoy your inalienable rights and not seek to censor you.  I will seek to defeat you at the voting booth and fight for legislation that protects and defends our inalienable rights.  I am willing to allow you to live your life and ask that you to allow me to live mine without having to fight a war to achieve that objective.  I have only scratched the surface and there are dozens of other things I could and probably should include.

God bless you and God bless America!

I AM FED UP BEING FED UP WITH THE LUNACY…


Yes, I said it! Now let me explain what I am talking about and attempt to explain my fears, concerns, suspicions, and reasons for making that statement.  I have read and heard via various mediums that President Joe Biden fully embraces the fallacious Critical Race Theory.  That is one of his many failures and shortcomings, but 2021 America is filled with things that do not make sense.

The fallacious idea that America is systemically racist is deeply rooted in the misguided arguments that the white majority is subconsciously racist.  Of course, those on the Left and the Woke Crowd who are white are magically exempted.  It is only conservatives and Christians who do not embrace the views of toxic liberalism that are deemed white supremacists.  Since I am both a Christian white male and do not support the Left’s toxic ideology and agenda, I guess that means I am a white supremacist and racist.  I contest that view and declare that I am neither!

I do not feel guilty that I am white male or Caucasian.  I did not choose that, God did, and I do not believe God makes mistakes.  Therefore, I contend that no person, regardless of their ethnicity should be ashamed of their ethnicity or feel guilt for being whatever skin color they are.  God chose my nationality, my parents, and knew me before I was conceived in the womb.  He has a plan for my life, and it is my task to both discover that plan and follow it.  It is my assignment to be obedient to His will and part of that is embracing who I am and demonstrating His love to everyone.  That is no small undertaking.

The Left, including Joe Biden, believe they can eliminate what they call subconscious racism via Executive Order and Legislation.  If there is subconscious racism, it is a heart issue and the only one who can change the heart is God not the government.  It is axiomatic that government cannot eliminate subconscious racism.  On the other hand, it is demonstratable that the government can be incredibly effective in fomenting racism and discord.  History is replete with examples, too numerous to list. 

Sadly, the Democrats and Joe Biden are committed to pressing this flawed theory to the limit and thereby destroy American Constitutionalism and strip from us our Freedoms and Liberties in the name of equality.  Evil in the human heart has never been eradicated by, laws and legislation nor will it ever be!  There is no Utopia on earth, even though groups like BLM, Antifa, the Socialists of the New Democratic Party, and the Oligarchs in Washington attempt to sell that idea or ideal.  It does not nor can it exist!  The Kool-aid is flowing freely, and multitudes are drinking it like a life-giving elixir that will cure all ills.

Government Reprogramming is not a conspiracy theory, it is real.  They have voiced their support of it and if allowed will seek implementation in various forms.  In 1963 Anthony Burgess broached this subject in his novel “A Clockwork Orange.”  If you have not read it, it is a story about an incorrigible criminal who was redeemed using science.  The experiment, in the novel a would be the life case failed miserably. 

His story is a mirror of what the Leftists in America are desirous of pursuing.  They deliberately obfuscate the horror of government reprogramming.  America we are headed down a path that has no U-turns and the dead-end is a precipice that plunges into nothingness and ends in destruction.

In a 2012 essay, Burgess explained what he had tried to express in his fictional novel.  He said, “I had read somewhere that it would be a good idea to liquidate the criminal impulse through aversion therapy; I was appalled…. What I was trying to say was that it is better to be bad of one’s own free will than to be good through scientific brainwashing…. I have been derided and rebuked for expressing my fears of the power of the modern state—whether it be Russia, China, or what we may term Anglo-America—to reduce the freedom of the individual…. The behaviorist approach to man, of which Professor Skinner is a great exponent, sees him moved to various kinds of action by aversive and non-aversive inducements. Given the right positive inducements… we shall all become better citizens, submissive to a state that has the good of the community at heart. We must, so the argument goes, not fear the conditioning. We need to be conditioned in order to save the environment and the race. But it must be conditioning of the right sort….”

The objective supposedly was to secure equal opportunity for everyone.  What I cannot fathom is how people seem incapable of grasping the reality that you do not abolish evil, racism, or any of the other diagnosed ills in America by legislative or executive edict.  The only thing that cures hate, dispels racism and counters evil is LOVE, namely God’s LOVE!  Fear never overcomes hate but engenders and expands it.  Fear breeds distrust and distrust relegates solutions to the shadows.  Love, on the other hand, enables one to find the good and trust others rather than assuming the worst in every situation.

In the COVID-19 pandemic paranoia and panic resulted in what could be called a ‘dark church’ transfer of authority to the secular state and stripped citizens of their rights and power to decide.  I was and still am amazed at how quickly, broadly, and easily Americans yielded their liberties to Big Brother and like docile sheep placed their trust or compliance in the government and its experts.  I am amazed because many if not most Americans are familiar with George Orwell’s book but fail to see the connection.

Burgess acknowledged that the title of his novel was derived from “…an old Cockney slang phrase, implying a queerness or madness so extreme as to subvert nature, since what notion could be more bizarre than that of a clockwork orange.”  Millions of Americans are lining up to willing be absorbed into the dead machine of a Totalitarian government.  Burgess reflected on the reality that when the governing machine becomes impersonal and inhumane.  It takes our money for purposes and ventures we do not desire nor approve.  It treats us as abstracts, controls an army, supports a state police force whose function is not always protective. 

The modern government has too much power and it is not unwarranted for people to fear it.  We have and are enduring prenatal and infantile conditioning that has made the slaves content in their discontent and imprisonment.  They are seeking to scientifically reprogram and recondition us to being the beings they desire.  They are shaping the thinking through non-thinking. A condition produced in the educational system. It is a mind conditioned to be predisposed to obedience to the edicts of the government. That mind or person is easily shaped and controlled.  If we are not there, we are headed in that direction and only one or two generations dying off will make it a fully realized reality.

Joe Biden has contended that he has a “mandate to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.”  What mandate?  He and they do not give us a clear definition of what the term means or how they plan to eradicate it.  He said, “Again, I’m not promising we can end it tomorrow, but I promise you we’re going to continue to make progress to eliminate systemic racism, and every branch of the White House and the federal government is going to be part of that effort….”  No, Joe, not tomorrow or in any cumulative tomorrows.  You cannot do it for two reasons.  One, it does not exist and two, legislation could never achieve it.

America, we have a political party in power who believe they have the right, mandate, and authority to ‘fundamentally transform’ America into a nation of their liking where only their ideological views are acceptable.  Truth, facts, and reality are inconsequential to them.  They have a flawed view, a flawed theory, and a quest for total control.  If we survive this administration, I will be surprised but we must never stop attempting to restore America to the Republic our Founders created.

God bless you and God bless America!
