CRITICAL ALERT! Mid-Term Elections A Fight For Survival and Freedom…


BLOG POST 1 -

I am cognizant that there are those who hear me and others like me and dismiss us as Alarmist, Fear Mongers, and Doom and Gloom purveyors.  I get that because in times past we have weathered some significant storms politically in America.  Yes, we somewhat endured 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama and times of Democrat control of both Houses of Congress.  However, with each occurrence, with each cycle in which the Liberal Leftist were in power, there was a little more erosion of our founding principles and the pillars of our Republic weakened noticeably.

The problem now is not that we could be facing another cycle in which power changes hands for a time.  The problem is that we have inched along on the trail of “fundamental transformation” to the point that the Face of the Democratic Party is now Democratic Socialism.  They are no longer hiding their agenda.  They are no longer trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes regarding their desire to “fundamentally transform” the Free Market Capitalism of our Republic into Redistribute the Wealth Socialism.  The national party is no longer pretending to be defenders of our inalienable rights because they do not believe we have any.

Individual candidates are still conducting their charade and speaking out of both sides of their mouths, such as the liberal Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Texas Robert Francis O’Rourke.  He and many of them are trying to tell voters they are Pro-Second Amendment Rights while voting and endorsing agendas and platforms that are Anti-Second Amendment.  The National Democratic Party does not recognize the sovereignty of God not the rights of individual states afforded under the Tenth Amendment of our Constitution.  It specifically declares, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” 

The Tenth Amendment reflects the understanding and desire of our Founders and the Framers to ensure that the Federal Government never became the all-powerful behemoth it is today.  With each period of Democrat rule. States and individuals have lost more and more of our privileges, rights, and liberties.  There are things that I oppose but if the individual State’s voters and legislature deem it to be the path they choose, I not only acknowledge that right but support their right to take that stance.  If it is beyond my ability to live with, I have the choice of running for office, becoming an advocate for change, or moving to a State whose laws are more harmonious with my views.  I have no right for insurrection, sedition, inciting of riots, or attempting to overthrow the legitimate government.

The Democrats, on a National level, have promised to Dump Trump at all costs if they return to power.  Their liberal leftist base will accept nothing less than impeachment and it seems with the more recent calls for physical violence they would embrace assignation.  That horrifies me.  Our religious liberty literally hangs in the balance with the open push and vicious assault lead by the Democrats to force everyone to comply or die (so to speak) with the edicts and demands of their version of tolerance.  Your religious convictions are immaterial to them and they fail to grasp the reality that your rights end where mine being and vice versa.  My right to life in the pursuit of my religious convictions cannot be trampled by your desire to live a lifestyle I find contrary to my faith.  You have the right but not the right to force me to participate in or facilitate your choice.

The demand of the Democrats for Medicare for all is an impossible dream with a price tag unaffordable by any mathematical or economic evaluation.  If you were to suspend ALL government programs and funnel ever dime of that into Medicare for all you would still need more money.  Where would that money come from?  It would require taxes so exorbitant that no small business could survive, and no average or middle-class individual could pay.  We are talking TRILLIONS of Dollars, not millions or billions but TRILLIONS.  Their plan over the next ten years would raise the national debt by about $36 TRILLION Dollars.  That would equate to about $3.6 TRILLION each year.  Who pays that?  Where does that kind of money come from?  The Democrats cannot and will not answer that question because they do not know, other than from you and me.  Taking it from the wealthy is not the answer and they know it.

Your right to Free Speech would become extinct like the dinosaur and their Politically Correct Dictionary would be imposed on everyone.  Your ability to think for yourself and express and disapproval would be classified as ‘hate speech’ and I suspect their push would include jail time or worse for all offenders.  Certain classes of people such as White Men of European descent would become prime targets.  The foundational principle of our judicial system, “Innocent Until Proven Guilty” would become “Guilty Until Proven Innocent” and thereby destroy our society.

Yes, I am painting a dire picture, but I believe that what I have painted is mild compared to what would happen if the Democrats return to power.  Our borders would become so porous that the sovereignty of the United States of America would be only a memory, not a reality.  Our laws would have no hope of being fairly, and uniformly applied and governmental agencies and bureaucracies would become weapons of the liberal agenda.  The lack of accountability in politicians of all stripes has brought us to the point of extinction as the Free Constitutional Republic.  This is a critical time in our history and America needs her patriots more than at any other time in modern history.

Dismiss my warnings, ignore the danger signs, and sit this one out and we will all pay a price too high.  Embrace my warnings and even if you do not fully believe the situation to be as dire as I suggest, VOTE and help ensure that it never becomes that chaotic state of anarchy that I see looming on the horizon.  Please Vote in November or in your early voting period.  Please!

God bless you and God bless America!

DOES MY VOTE COUNT???


BLOG POST 2 - Vote

Let me answer with a question, “Does Your Life Count?”  If you are a living breathing human being and a member of the human race, it most assuredly does!  Both your life and your vote.  Your vote may not seem to count because the candidate may win handily and would have won had you, as a lone individual not voted.  The candidate you support may lose handily and would have lost regardless of whether or not you voted.  That does not mean your vote is unimportant.  That may sound illogical to many and I’ve had this discussion before, sometimes with success in enlightenment and sometimes in abject failure because the other person’s mind was a sealed as a waterproof vault buried deep within the ground.  Their stance was, “Don’t confuse me with the facts, my minds made up.” 

We have a Constitutional process for electing members of Congress and the President of these United States of America.  In Presidential elections, we have a process that involves a two-part method for determining who will serve for the next four years as President.  It involves the popular vote in each state and then the electoral college vote in which the electors usually vote according to the determination of the popular vote of each state.  Some states are winner take all and some are proportional and in the proportional states, the individual vote becomes clearly important in the minds of virtually everyone.  In state and local elections, we have state constitutions that determine the statewide process and in local elections, the charters or constitutions of those entities determine the process.

Voting, in America, is a right and a privilege!  In my mind and in the minds of our Framers and Founders appeared to believe the importance of voting.  That would make it a civic if not moral duty because we are supposed to be a self-governing nation, not an oligarchy, tyranny, monarchy, or any other system.  Our is supposed to be a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”  I compare it to a business.  How so, Roy?  In a corporation or business that is publicly traded and owned by the employees and private citizens if those holding shares of ownership disregard their privilege of voting in corporate elections they cede their ownership to the managers.  By that I mean, if we simply take what we can get, in the way of dividends but pay no attention to how the corporation or company conducts business we are takers (which many investors are) and not owners.  In a sense, we are selling our shares for the quarterly or annual dividends we are paid.  That, I would argue, does not argue that does not absolve us of any wrong done by that company or corporation morally although we are safe legally.

In our American government, it is incumbent upon us, the legal citizens of this nation, to involve ourselves in the affairs of government.  Often it seems that the only possible means through which that can transpire is in our exercising our right to cast our ballots on election day.  We can and should go beyond that and pay attention, communicate with our Representatives and Senators as well as the President.  According to our American Constitution, we have the right to express ourselves, worship according to the dictates of our hearts, expect a fair and prompt trial by a jury of our peers, self-defense, and many other things.  We have the right to choose who represents us in various offices in our government and in that right and privilege comes responsibilities.

It is our responsibility to be informed.  Although the government should be responsible and accountable in dispensing genuine information it is not solely their responsibility to disclose everything to us.  They should, but they do not and as an owner of our federal government, as a citizen, I must seek to know.  If I fail to participate in the process I maintain the right to complain but I have no moral standing to do so.  I have abdicated my privilege and responsibility and allowed others to determine the direction of the nation although my voice and vote are absent.

In a family unit, everything is not done in a purely democratic process.  The Majority does not rule and should not. The parents have authority, power, and responsibility regarding raising their children.  In government, if we are uninformed we are unarmed and unable to properly address our grievances.  If we do not vote we express that we either do not care, government is unimportant to us, or we are willing to be a docile sheep led wherever those in power desire to lead.  Some, feel so hopeless and helpless they have cast off all hope and therefore do not vote.   That is tragic!

In today’s many protests by the leftist activist, I see a smidgen of expression that People Care!  Please don’t misunderstand, I am fully cognizant that many of those protesting are clueless as to what they are truly protesting.  Some are paid protesters and simply following the diatribe, rhetoric, and directive of those organizing and coordinating the protests.  Some of them, hold deep views on some things, but with no real understanding of our governmental process.  Many of them know little of the Constitution or our Political Process.  They have their hands out and believe the Socialist and Activist arguments that “Life is supposed to be Fair and Equal.”  They believe that the Rich are evil, and it is important to “stick it to the man.”  They represent one segment of society and one would think that if they were truly as concerned as the demonstrations suggest they would vote, but often they do not and do not care to do so.  They are not the only ones who do not vote.  Many follow the mentality, “Let the Politicians take care of Politics.”  I continue to argue that is exactly how we got in this mess!

I may not agree with how you vote but I encourage you to vote.  It is not only your privilege, but it is also, in my mind, your civic and moral duty because it expresses your voice in the process.  It is an expression of your preference as to the direction that we take.  It is part of your responsibility as a citizen owner of government.  If your input determined your paycheck, would you participate?  If you input determined your access to health care, would you vote?  If your participation determined your right and ability for self-defense, would you vote?  If your input determined your ability to live Free, Pursue your Dream, and enjoy your Liberty, would you vote?  Well, guess what, IT DOES!

No, your individual vote may or may not change an election, but it is your investment in the process and your acknowledgment of your responsibility as a citizen owner of our government.  I cannot imagine a person having a share of a business and not having any interest in how that business is run, the direction it is taking, the frugality of the managers, and the bottom line.  However, there are millions who do just that when it comes to government and voting.   In November we have the clear choice between Socialism, Globalism, Liberalism, Higher Taxes, Bigger Government and More Debut or Free Market Enterprise, Constitutionalism, Liberty, and Freedom and an opportunity to reduce the size and scope of government.  The ultimate question is “What Do You Prefer?”

God bless you and God bless America!

NOT YOUR DADDY’S DEMOCRATS…


BLOG POST 1 - Daddy's Democrats 1

I grew up in rural East Texas and most of the people I knew called themselves Democrats.  However, that group of people wanted the federal government to stay out of their business, complained about high taxes, believed in the sanctity of marriage, considered military service honorable, and would have been appalled at the idea of allowing illegals free entry into this country.  Many of them thought that the Republicans caused the Great Depression and did not understand the common man.  However, they did not believe it was okay to destroy public or private property if someone got elected that was not of their political party or personal ideological views.  They revered the Union and believed that our Founding Fathers and the Framers of the Constitution produced a system of government, with checks and balances, that was to be respected and preserved.  I never heard any of them saying, “The President needs to be shot.”  That kind of language and mentality was foreign to them.

As time advanced and Dwight D. Eisenhower became the Republican nominee for President, Adlai Stevenson was the Democrat offering and many of those in my community voted Republican for the first time in their lives.  My father, a man that was far less interested in political party than political agendas voted for Eisenhower and never again voted Democrat in a Presidential election.  He found that his views and those of the national Democrats were not harmonious and without ever calling himself one, he became a Republican.  He felt that the Republicans were more concerned about the country and in that the common man than were the Democrats.  He voted for some Democrats on a more local and State level but by and large his vote and that of my mother was mostly Republican because of their Christian views and conservative beliefs.  Even those in our community that never voted Republican were vocally opposed to those they viewed as draft dodgers and protested in the streets.  They had been soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines in WWI, WWII, and Korea.  They were Democrats but so dramatically different than today’s Democrats they would not have been able to embrace what is happening today.

This President, Donald J. Trump, has been vilified like virtually no president in our modern history and possibly ever.  He is blamed for everything and given credit for nothing.  Even now, once Mr. Obama staked his claim on the economic success brought about by President Trump, the MSM has joined his chorus and the economic explosion of today is Obama’s economy, at least to them.  Most of us know that ludicrousness of that assertion and know that the economy did not take off in a positive direction until Obama’s regulations and restrictions, as well as his taxes, were dealt with.  It has been proven time and again that lower taxes produce job growth and increased revenue for the people and the government.  Yet, the mantra of the Democrats is Lower Taxes only benefit the rich and those dastardly rich, the society of which most of them are members, are evil beasts.

The Democrats, the Media, Hollywood, the Agitators, and Activist hate Donald J. Trump with a vengeance like I have never witnessed.  They appear willing to do anything and I mean any and everything possible to remove him from office and destroy him and his family.  I recently asked a Democrat, “Is it possible that your party is willing to harm people simply to damage Trump?”  This person was angered by my question and demanded that I explain.  I was grateful for the open door to attempt to elucidate and expand on my question.

In Puerto Rico, one year after Hurricane Maria there has been the discovery of hundreds of thousands of bottles of water meant for the victims of that storm.  Boxes upon boxes of unboxed bottles of drinking water covered with a blue tarp were uncovered.  Why?  The Mayor of San Juan repeatedly shouted to whatever camera and microphone she could find that President Trump was evil and incompetent.  Is it possible that she and they withheld this water from the victims seeking to do damage to Donald Trump?  I can only conclude the answer is yes.  If anyone is so incompetent they let this much water sit unused or so diabolical and vengeful they would withhold it from the victims, they are a danger to themselves and society.

But, alas, that is the theme of the Democrats today, it seems.  Maxine Waters has become increasingly vocal calling for disruption and even harm to all supporters of the President.  She continues to vow to ‘get him.’  I am convinced that had a Republican said that and continued to call for violence and chaos while threatening Barack Obama, that Republican would have been ostracized from the congressional halls and would likely be under indictment and in jail if not worse.  Yet, the Democrats are not censoring her, Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Al Sharpton, or the Leftists in the media or Hollywood who are calling for harm to the president and his family.  Is This Really Happening?  Is This Really the State of the Democratic Party today?

How about PJ Media contributor and Fox News guest Denise McAllister who recently sent out a powerful tweet denouncing the abortion movement.  Within days she was being threatened with rape and murder as pro-abortion supporters came after her with a vengeance.  Her tweet: “At the root of #abortion hysteria is women’s unhinged desire for irresponsible sex. Sex is their god. Abortion is their sacrament. It’s abhorrent as women have flung themselves from the heights of being the world’s civilizing force to the muck and mire of dehumanizing depravity. 7:26 AM – Sep 6, 2018” brought death threats.  The proponents of abortion praised those attacking her and no one, it seems, on the Left called for civility or blasted the wrongness of those threats.  Is That Really Where We Are Today?  Is This the New Face of Politics in America?

BLOG POST 1 - Daddy's Democrats

We have a clear choice in November between a party and candidates who justify this kind of behavior and one that wants to make America great and safe for everyone.  Sadly, too few of the Republicans running for office and the Establishment GOP are articulating the differences and enabling the public to understand the gravity of our choices and the value of voting in the midterms.  I like what President Trump said regarding the Immigration battle.  He said, “This election is a choice between Democrats who want to abolish ICE, and Republicans, who want to abolish MS-13.”  It really is that clear a choice.  Remember how Schumer and Pelosi defended MS-13?  You may not because the Democrat propaganda arms, the Media didn’t tell you what they said.

We cannot depend on honesty from the pollsters or the media.  We must fight the apathy that they are attempting to engender and inspire.  We must realize that if we stay home, it virtually becomes a vote for the Leftist in a backdoor manner.  I know that I often sound like a broken record, but we must talk to our family, friends, and neighbors and by word of mouth and volunteering to transport people to the polls if possible.  Voting in this election is not optional, it is necessary!

I will predict that if the Republicans hold the House and Senate the rioting and demonstrations we saw after President Trump’s election will pale in comparison.  The Left has become a Party of Violence and it will escalate.  However, let me also insert that I believe that even if the Democrats win in November there will be more riots, demonstrations, and protests of violent nature.  Why?  Because those engaged in the protests are being fueled by outside forces who want to destroy America and many of the protesters now believe that by doing their damage and destruction they are heard and get what they want, and they want more!

God bless you and God bless America!

 

 

OUR DEMOCRACY (Republic) HANGS IN THE BALANCE THIS ELECTION…


BLOG POST 3 - Democracy

First, let me reiterate that we ARE NOT A PURE DEMOCRACY but a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.  That being said, there are some very serious things hanging in the balance this mid-term and our system of government is at the head of that list.  The Democrats are chanting that if Republicans win “Democracy as We Know It Is Over!”  What is Democracy as they know it?  It is assuredly not Democracy as the rest of us know it!  They accuse the Republicans of being ‘fear mongers’ and yet they are fanning the flames of ‘fear’ and ‘hate’ like I have never witnessed before.  You would think if you listen to them, that Republicans or more specifically white men will be gunning down those of other ethnicities, women will be repeatedly raped by those dastardly Republicans, no one will be able to get health care coverage, and millions will die!  WOW!  If that were true, I’d be chanting Vote Democrat, but IT IS A BOLD-FACED LIE and they know it.  It is a fabrication, an unsubstantiated allegation, and an accusation that is not only unprovable but a complete distortion of the truth.

However, if the Democrats are successful in regaining control of the House and the Senate there are some things that are in serious danger.  They want to strip us of our ‘Religious Liberties’ if we stand on biblical principles and say what God and the Bible say about abortion, homosexuality, and many other things.  The Democratic National Committee has made it perfectly clear they want no part of Christianity that stands for Life and biblical principles that are contrary to their political agenda.  They have rejected God and the Bible in the National Convention and their belief is that they have the right to impose their views on everyone.  If you are a homosexual, to the Democrats, your rights transcend the rights of Conservatives and Christians that hold core convictions opposite your chosen lifestyle.  Actually, they do not truly see you that way and only seek to manipulate you.  I can understand why many homosexuals vote Democrat but not all because some of them look beyond their personal lifestyle preferences into the issue of economics and liberties.  They understand that if we are to remain the Constitutional Republic we must protect the rights of all people, not select groups.

The Democrats are on record with an insistence that we allow abortion for any reason and at any time during the pregnancy.  I am not suggesting that if you vote Republican in November Roe v Wade will be repealed.  I seriously doubt that it will any time soon, largely because of Chief Justice John Roberts willingness to stand with the left on many issues and as he attempts to protect his legacy.  However, I will say that the Democrats regain power, we will see a greater push for euthanasia and certain types of genocide will become even more pronounced.  It will possibly become a criminal offense of a medical doctor refuses an abortion.  People and businesses will be in danger if they take a biblical stance and refuse to participate in things that violate their convictions such as same-sex weddings.  Churches and pastors will be in the cross-hairs of the Leftists and any allegation or accusations will result in them being investigated, possibly prosecuted, and their reputations damaged to the point of their lives and ministries being destroyed.  If you believe in the biblical and constitutional right of self-defense that will be in serious jeopardy.  You right of property will be in danger and the real possibility of governmental confiscation will arise.  THOSE ARE ALL THREATENED!

The Democrats, largely, want to rewrite the Constitution and do away with our system by which we elect the president.  They want to go to a plurality of the popular vote rather than the electoral college.  The danger in that is easily identified because it would relegate the election to the two large states on the East and West Coast, California and New York.  The rest of the country would have virtually no voice in the election, unlike today.  Small states would become irrelevant and politicians would totally ignore them.  We would no longer have a system of government where there is equal representation of all the states based on population.  If the Democrats are unsuccessful in repealing and doing away with the electoral college they will seek to overload the states will illegal aliens, systematically placed so as to guarantee that the electoral vote of the states will be slanted toward the liberal leftist socialist Democrats.

The only way we stem the tide of liberalism, leftism, Socialism, globalism is to prevent the Democrats from regaining control of Congress or the White House.  For us to have any hope of reducing the size of the federal government we must STOP THE LEFTISTS.  For us to have any draining the swamp we must STOP THE LEFTISTS.  For us to have any hope of keeping our Inalienable Rights such as “Freedom of Speech, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and Freedom of Religion, etc.” we must STOP THE LEFTISTS.  If we believe that ‘Unless speech is free for everyone it is free for no one’ we must stop them! The Framers and Founders of our Republic took great strides to guarantee that we would always remain the Constitutional Republic with freedom from overregulation and control of the government.  They wanted us to BE FREE!  What is being proposed by the Leftists is not freedom but a type of slavery, because we become totally dependent on the government for our rights and life.  THAT IS ANATHEMA to the intent of the Framers and Founders!

What is my point?  Simply this, WE MUST VOTE in November!  If we believe in America as the Free Constitutional Republic and our Inalienable Rights WE MUST VOTE in November!  But, it is not enough to vote we must VOTE NO on the Leftists and the toxicity of liberalism and DEFEAT THEM.  How do we do that?  The only way that I see, at this point, is to VOTE FOR the Republican candidate.  Will that totally solve our problems? NO, but it will give us a window of opportunity to reclaim the country, drain the swamp, dismantle the deep state, and replace the RINOs with Constitutionalists who believe in the Original Intent of the Constitution.  Beyond that, we must EDUCATE, INFORM, and ARTICULATE our views, political ideology, and persuade people to VOTE.  Not as the Democrats who want their people to vote early and often, we must vote legally and STOP THE ASSAULT on America!

God bless you and God bless America!

WHO YOU GONNA VOTE FER???


BLOG POST 2 - Blog Post

No that is not a typo, but a real question that was asked by some recently regarding the U.S. Senate Race in Texas.  I didn’t hesitate to announce my intentions to vote solidly for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and against candidate Robert (Beto) O’Rourke.  The person was taken aback, it seemed, and asked, WHY?  I was grateful he gave me the opportunity to detail my reasons and as it turned out it was far more than he wanted to hear.  At one point, there was the argument, “Well” he said, “Cruz isn’t an American citizen, he’s a Cuban and then they said, I mean Canada-ian.”  My sense of discernment kicked in and I perceived that my belly laugh was not a pleasing sight to him and could see the veins protruding on his neck as I continued to detail my reasons, over his talking point objections.  It was funny and a bit fun, but it was disturbing at the same time because I was reminded of how effectively the MSM has been able to negatively characterized Republicans, Conservatives, and Constitutionalist.  Far too many, simply accept what is offered by CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and the many other liberal arms of the Democratic Party.  They believe that if it is in the newspapers on television it must be true.  I even had one person say, “Well, they can’t put it on the news if it isn’t true, it’s the law!”  Again, my falling on the floor doubling up in laughter did not set well, but some statements demand an appropriate reaction.

Some, even some of the Leftists, have recognized Ted Cruz as a genuine Conservative. They have identified him as a movement conservative, a religious conservative, a constitutional conservative with libertarian leanings.  He might be all those, but one thing I know is that he is incredibly intelligent and can articulate points on virtually any argument with knowledge, data, facts, and reason.  Some do not like his detailed explanations and feel that he is talking down to them because they either do not want to listen carefully, think thoughtfully, or are uninformed and want the Cliff Notes version answer to any question.  His personality is not that of a polished politician and his deficiencies in the area of charisma have hurt him and may now be hurting him in this contest with a very liberal leftist progressive Democrat who wants to identify as Hispanic but is not.  Who does that remind you of?  Pocahontas comes to mind.  No, not the wife of Captain John Smith of Pilgrim lore but a more recent Senator. 

Ted Cruz supports free trade, desires to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and implement a single tax for all citizens.  Well, so do I and believe that if people actually thought about what that would mean would be onboard with those positions.  I suggest you ask Mr. O’Rourke how he feels about the IRS, a Flat Tax, or Free Trade. You will undoubtedly watch him dance around the question and attempt to spin it his way, but he is not in favor or reduced taxes, doing away with the IRS or anything of the sort. He supports the Democrat Plan of HIGHER TAXES.  Ted Cruz is in favor of downsizing the federal government, reducing regulations, and getting government off our backs.  Sounds, reasonable to me, how about you?  He is Pro-Life, opposed to Obamacare, and wants legitimate Immigration Reform while supporting the securing of our borders.  Mr. O’Rourke opposes most if not all those issues.  He is for Obamacare, wants Immigration Reform that allows the Dreamers and millions of others to become citizens, and is in favor of Sanctuary States and Cities.  That is not what we need or want in Texas!  Ted Cruz favors the 2nd Amendment while Mr. O’Rourke wants some measure of ‘gun control’ which would lead to a ‘gun ban’ and a revision of our Second Amendment Rights.  Ted Cruz is in favor of school choice and does not drink at the fountain of Climate Change, Global Warming, or Climate Disruption, whatever they are calling it these days.   He opposes the United Nations Agenda 21 Plan of Sustainable Development which is nothing more than population control and total control of the citizens.  I oppose that as well.  He could probably be characterized as being somewhere between, Rand Paul’s non-interventionist position and that of the late John McCain of active interventionism.

In November we are faced, in Texas, and around the nation, with the choice of allowing the Liberal Leftists Brand of Toxic Liberalism largely based in the Democratic Party to regain power or STOP THEM!  Yes, that is exactly how I view the elections.  I wish that I could say, ‘Elect Republicans and See Our Nation’s Constitutional Position Restored’ but that is still down the road.  However, if we fail to defeat the Democrats in November the fork in the road we are now facing will become a major thoroughfare of Liberalism.  What we have thought was a ‘runaway train’ toward the destruction of our Republic as a Constitutional form of Government will become a ‘rocket ship’ traveling at light speed.  YES, I am sounding an alarm and NO, I am not the little boy crying wolf, IT IS REAL!  You may or may not believe the warning, but that does not change the reality or the impending destruction and devastation if we fail in the effort to Keep Power Away from the Leftist in November.

In Texas, I call upon all my fellow Texans to vote NO on BETO and VOTE YES on Ted Cruz.  I ask that you send Lupe Valdez to the sidelines and prevent her from turning Texas into a Sanctuary State with Open Borders, Higher Taxes, whatever else she proposes from her Leftist Position.  Mr. O’Rourke has claimed to be invested in and involved with no PAC but amazingly his campaign co-hosted a Washington, D.C. fundraiser with at political action committee.  WAIT A MINUTE!  Mr. O’Rourke, you claimed your support is ONLY from private citizens and in small amounts.  Secondly, why would you be raising funds in Washington, DC if that is true?  There are strong indications that millions of dollars are flooding into his campaign coffers that have direct and indirect connections to the infamous hater of America, George Soros.  Mr. O’Rourke, you have campaigned advancing the claim that ALL PACs are corrupt and now you join hands with a PAC, how can you justify that?  Like all liberal leftists and most politicians, you spin the spin with double-speak and a political dance that might win you 1st Place on the TV Show about Dancing.  I don’t recall its name!  Mr. O’Rourke has even accepted money from J-Street, a PAC that supports a two-state solution in Israel and has hosted fundraisers for Mr. O’Rourke.  Mr. O’Rourke has demonstrated, while in Congress and in El Paso a willingness to do things that are opposite of the views of most Texans and are dangerous for the Republic.  It is my understanding that Mr. O’Rourke’s campaign requested that the VFW, Post 4006 in Navasota, Texas take down the America Flag during his rally there.  WHAT?  If you can support that I doubt that we could have any productive, rational, or civil conversation.

YES, this is an article directed at the Senate Race in Texas, but it is about more than Texas, it is as the Democratic Chairman Perez declared, “This Democracy, we know it is on the ballot and it will mean the end of Democracy if the Republicans win.”  I can agree with part of his statement, “Our Republican Form of Government is on the ballot.”  My argument is that if the Democrats win it will be a serious if not a fatal blow to our Republic.  WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN!  I truly believe that this is these mid-term elections are the most important we have ever faced.  Each successive election may well be, but this is NOW, and WE MUST ACT NOW!  I call upon every Freedom Loving American Patriot to VOTE!

God bless you and God bless America!

THE FACE and STATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY…


BLOG POST 1 - Democrats 1

I realize that if any Democrats read this, I will likely be a bane to them and someone they would like to inflict severe pain and misery upon.  I wondered for eight years what America could have possibly been thinking in electing Barack Obama not once but twice.  The first time, I could somewhat understand the FEAR and even DESIRE of some, to project to the world they were not racist and to demonstrate an inclusiveness and openness that, in their minds, would be lauded as almost saintly.  I had some tell me, before the first election, “I cannot vote against the first black president without being called a racist.”  My argument has always been that politics, in today’s world, is not about race but ideology and agenda.  That fell on deaf ears because many of them worked in places of employment where the political climate was toxic and any suggestion of not voting for Obama would result in ostracization and create a very hostile work environment.  So, rather than risk their livelihood, the either quietly voted Republican and pretended to vote Democrat or they caved and voted for someone who stood for something they did not believe in or desire.  THAT IS TRAGIC!

I’ve heard the word “Transference” and “Projectionism” bandied about as explanations of Obama’s most recent political rants against Donald Trump and either directly or indirectly the millions who voted for him.  Transference is defined as the ability to take your faults and ascribe them to others.  Projectionism is much the same and either or both fit the latest Obama diatribe and rhetoric.  I had to laugh when I heard part of his speech and listened as he “attacked” or “accused” President Trump for fomenting paranoia and division.  I then grew angry, not so much at Mr. Obama, because I’ve learned that is who he is, but toward the millions who believe his maniacal raving.  Have we reached the point in our American Society that we allow HATE to transcend REASON?  Well, probably not reached but exposed what has largely been there all along. 

To Hillary Clinton, those of us who opposed her, and the Leftist Agenda were DEPLORABLE.  Her insinuation and inference were that we were all a bunch of ignorant red-neck hillbillies not having sense enough to come in out of the rain.  Her complete lack of ability to grasp the reality that some of us might not agree with their self-perceived greatness and saintliness.  It would appear, that THINKING might be a crime in the minds of those embracing the toxicity of liberalism and now Socialism that is the face of their party.  In her mind, Obama’s mind, and the minds of the MSM, and the National Democrats because we dissent we are the problem.  We, to them, are the cause of division, we are resentful and vengeful, we are paranoid and in need of being housed in padded cells.  Clearly, to them, we must be deranged or severely mentally challenged else we would buy their Snake Oil and Dance to their Drummer.

One of the many incidents in which former President Obama spoke without the facts, a charge he has leveled at President Trump, was in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Remember Harvard Professor Harry Louis Gates and the police incident at his home?  The police were investigation reported burglaries in the area and responded as any rational law enforcement representative would only to have Gates become belligerent and immediately leveling the charge of racism.  Obama jumped on that bandwagon and deemed it a problem of Systemic Police Racism against blacks in America.  No facts, just hyperbole.  He did the same in the Travon Martin case, and in Ferguson, Missouri and encouraged the false narrative of Black Lives Matter and in many ways encouraged violence and chaos.

Mr. Obama has openly trashed our military, law enforcement, and those who want a Secure Border, and a strong national security with an immigration policy that screens potential terrorist such as those following fundamental Islam.  In his mind, accepting Islam is simply religious tolerance but woe be unto the Christian baker who refuses to bake a cake for a same-sex marriage because it violates his religious convictions.  He has frequently attempted to tie the Crusades to everything and thereby justify the offenses of Islamic Terrorism and the hatred in the hearts of some blacks regarding the history of slavery in America.  By and large, the national Democrats parrot his words because that is their ideological mindset.

The brazen attempt to rewrite history regarding his administration’s failure in Benghazi and to do a little CYA for both Obama and Hillary he insists that Benghazi was more of a conspiracy theory than body bags.  MR. OBAMA, wild conspiracy theories do not produce body bags and Benghazi did.  I was encouraged when Kris “Tanto” Paronto, one of the heroes who witnessed, first hand, the slaughter of his friends and comrades in arms die came forth immediately.  Kris tweeted that the words of the former president were disgusting, and he was right.  He tweeted: “Benghazi is a conspiracy @BarackObama?! How bout we do this, let’s put your cowardly ass on the top of a roof with 6 of your buddies & shoot rpg’s & Ak47’s at you while terrorists lob 81mm mortars killing 2 of your buddies all while waiting for US support that you never sent.”  He used language I avoid but the sentiments of one who was there are understandable and praiseworthy.  The facts have long supported Mr. Paronto’s assertions and arguments about the help that Hillary and Obama refused to send.  WHY?  I wish we could get a complete and truthful answer from them, but we never will.

Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party have long asserted that there was no “magic wand” to jumpstart the economy and now that it has been jumpstarted seek to claim that Obama laid the foundation for it to happen.  NO, Mr. O and all you Leftists, the economy was put into high-gear by some basic economic principles and removal of some of the stifling restrictions and regulations imposed by the Obama administration.  It was pretty simple, and many of us had been calling for just that for years.  No magic wand, just simple and reasonable government action.  Now, I ask the Democrats, “since President Trump has shown you how to do it will you move from your New Socialism Position?”  The answer is NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!  They appear more willing to go into extinction than move to the center or the right.

We have people like Maxine Waters doubling down on her call for violence and disruption vowing that SHE WILL GET HIM, meaning President Trump.  If anyone on the Right had made that claim or proposed that pathway they would have been ridden out of town on a rail or might be in jail.  Former Special Prosecutor, Ken Starr acknowledged that he had considered perjury charges against Hillary Clinton during the Bill Clinton investigation for her outlandish and obviously false testimony.  She had no fear of lying to the prosecutor because she knew that her back was covered by the Democrats in Congress and should Bill be removed from office by Al Gore who would then become president and she was covered.  The history of the Democrats has been to do whatever it takes to win and eliminate anyone who stands in your way.

The voter fraud that has been exposed is, in my view, the tip of the iceberg and it is largely committed by those on the Donkey side of the ledger.  America we are faced with a crisis in America and if we allow the Corruption of the Liberal Leftist Socialist Democrats to reclaim power, we will have signed off on the destruction of our Constitutional Republic.  CAN YOU DO THAT?  That is the question for November.  I realize that some will contend, “We will make it just fine, it will only be another bump in the road.”  I warn IT WILL NOT!  The dangers for the Republic are greater than we have ever experienced.  SO, PLEASE, please, please get out the Vote and Vote to Stop the Leftists in November!

God bless you and God bless America!

WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT???


BLOG POST 1 - What Is New

It is exactly as I suspected and deeply disheartening.  What are you referring to Roy?  The political diatribe and vitriol over the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, allegations, accusations, along with the vile statements from various sources.  This American is disgusted with the state of politics in America and can now understand how some would define politics as “poli” meaning many and “tics” meaning blood-sucking parasites.  We seem to have reached a new low in American politics and hopefully, people (voters) on both sides of the aisle will share my disdain for what is happening.

I am in 100% agreement that if a person makes a claim of sexual assault they should be heard.  Is there a degree to which this should be regulated?  Of course, like any other charge, there needs to be corroborating evidence, credible evidence, to determine the extent and duration of the investigation.  It cannot become “he said – she said” without any other substantiation.  That would effectively destroy our entire political and judicial system if not destroy our social order.  If there are false allegations made those must be dealt with using the appropriate leverage of the law to guarantee that a person making an allegation (of any kind) understands the penalty for making false claims.

I was disturbed by the circus in the Senate Judiciary and saw things that disturbed me from all sides.  I saw tactics used by the Democrats that attempted to uses uncorroborated and unsubstantiated claims as fact and that, in my view, is a direct violation of our judicial system and code of moral sanity.  None of us, not you, no me, not anyone would want unsubstantiated allegations to be allowed to destroy our lives.  Sadly, if an event actually transpired and there are no witnesses to corroborate or evidence to substantiate our claims we cannot expect the justice system to just take our word over the word of another.  Reverse that and place yourself on the receiving end of an allegation and I believe you will agree.

What is equally if not more disturbing is the vitriolic language and assertions by those on the Left in the time leading up to the testimonies of both Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford.  The door has been swung wide for full-blown violence and rioting in the streets and that is more than tragic it is a clear and present danger that threatens us all.  Alyssa Milano said on MSNBC that “sexual abuse has been institutionalized in America.”  She went further and justified the arguments that a woman’s declaration of truth must be accepted saying that women have had a hard time and if now men have a hard time because of unsupported allegations, they just need to deal with it.  THAT IS LUDICROUS!  No one, a woman or a man should have to follow that prescription.

Sunny Hostin of the View demanded, “Since when is a woman’s truth not enough?”  What Ms. Hostin is a ‘woman’s truth’?  Are we talking about corroborated allegations or simply making a claim and because it was a woman it must be accepted and believed?  If it is the latter that is beyond disgusting and dangerous.  Whoopi chimed in and demanded that “women must be believed.”  They must IF and that is the key IF what they are claiming is substantiated.  If a woman makes a charge against a man and there is evidence to support that claim that man MUST be dealt with to the full extent of the law, regardless of who he is.  I have no issue with that, but I do have an issue with simply taking a woman or a man’s word at face value allowing a ‘he said – she said’ situation to be anything more than that.

This has been taken to the next level by Georgetown Professor, Christine Fair (nothing fair about her).  She is an associate professor at the university’s School of Foreign Service and tweeted: “Look at the chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement.”  No, she was not talking about Bill Clinton or any of the Democrats.  She continued, “All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminist laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to the swine? Yes.”   THAT IS HORRIFIC and smacks of INSANITY and assuredly a level of hate that cannot be bridged in a civil society.  HOW LOW HAVE WE SUNK?

Planned Parenthood has threatened any Senator who votes to approve or confirm Judge Kavanaugh saying, “We’re coming for you.”   There was a tweet from that organization that read: “Roses are red violets are blue Vote NO on #Kavanaugh or else we’re coming for you.” This is an organization that has been determined to be more than an abortion mill and one that has harvested body parts of those aborted infants.  This is an organization that receives government funds and they are threatening elected officials.  THEIR FUNDS MUST END TODAY!

It seems that allegations or claims of sexual abuse, rape, harassment against Democrats are swept under the rug as with Keith Ellison where there are doctor’s reports and what appears to be substantial evidence, but the Minneapolis Police are punting to allow the DNC to investigate.  WHAT?  Since when did the DNC become a Law Enforcement Agency?  The Democrats including Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein would not even read the deposition of Juanita Broaddrick regarding being raped by Bill Clinton.  John Kerry insisted that the Chappaquiddick incident with Ted Kennedy was okay because in Kerry’s words, “He owned up.”  WHAT?  That was apparently an insinuation that if Kavanaugh were to admit his guilt, even if he is not guilty, all would be forgiven.  NO, IT WOULD NOT!  Also, the Kennedy scandal is not okay, but it was swept under the rug because of who he was.  THAT IS TRAGIC! 

I don’t want anyone on the Left or Right stooping to vitriolic language in this or any other incident.  If we do not find a way to address issues appropriately, with a least a modicum of decency and civility we are in deep trouble in our Republic.  It is okay to disagree, but disagreement does not give license to engage in violence and character assignation.  You may like cherry pie and I prefer pecan that does not mean we have to square off for fisticuffs or a duel at twenty-paces.  I know some wonderful people who vote Democrat.  We disagree deeply on some moral, social, political, economic, and spiritual grounds but they, in my view, want America to prosper.  Some of them have voiced their deep concern about the level of vitriol in today’s politics.  Will it change their vote, probably not because of some deep-seated beliefs about Republicans?  Some of them are troubled over abortion, border security and other issues but still pull the lever and vote for the Democrat.  People find a way to justify their actions and until we reach a place that we honestly examine every word, thought, and deed we will continue to be divided even when deep down we agree.  THAT IS A TRAGEDY of the highest order.

The past few months and years have placed the agenda of the Left on display and I pray that, although the Republicans are far from perfect, we will not allow the Left to regain power in Congress.  I also pray that the Republicans will not view this as a mandate to do anything but fulfill their promises rather than simply a means of solidifying their positions of power and their personal purses.  I am deeply concerned for America! 

God bless you and God bless America!

 

PREACHERS AND POLITICS???


BLOG POST 5 - Preachers

I write this possibly for my benefit alone, but hopefully, it will be of some benefit to others.  Over the past few years, I have been actively engaged in the political discussion as I have watched what I believe is a determined attempt to shift our Republic toward Socialism and Globalism.  I see it as a direct assault on our American Constitution, our inalienable rights including Freedom of Speech, the Right of Self Defense, and even our right to worship freely without governmental restraint or interference.  Some take exception to my being as vocal as I am, and I’ve been told more than once, “Preachers have no business being involved in politics, just preach Christ and leave the politics to the politicians.”  I always respond, “That’s how we got in the mess, leaving politics to politicians.”

I have had preacher friends that I’ve known for many years disassociate with me on Social Media and although most have never told me why I have wondered.  As I have contemplated their possible reasons, I can only conclude that surely it is not my devotionals and biblical posts, for those views are consistent with what I know they have preached and hopefully still preach.  Could it be the humor I have used?  I do not believe they are offended at my use of cartoons and jokes to bring smiles to people’s faces and try to help people make it through the difficult times of life.  However, I have had Christians tell me that I needed to stop telling jokes and be more serious.  After I reviewed the things that I do and post on various Social Media sites I have concluded that the only logical explanation is my involvement in the political discussion.  I know some believe me to be too vocal and others believe that I am mandated by the Bible to NEVER speak negatively about our leaders.  I respect their beliefs but believe that I am mandated by the Bible to warn when I see danger and to identify things in government that violate the very tenets of Scripture and morality.  If you disagree, that is your choice.

As I review history, I find that dating back to the Revolutionary War, preachers in America have been involved in politics and even war.  The Black Robed Regiment of the Revolutionary War identified by the British as BRR for the clergy who took courageous patriotic stances for Freedom.  Those pastors stood boldly in their pulpits and preached LIFE through the Word of God and identified Life as touching everything including the political. They fearlessly spoke of everything from a biblical perspective and encouraged their parishioners to become involved.  From the Revolutionary War to modern day we have had members of the clergy deeply involved and invested in those wars.  Were they wrong to be involved?  Should they have ignored the political, moral, social, economic, and spiritual threats facing the nation and the world and restrained themselves by silence on political matters?  I hope you do not say, YES but are grateful for the courageous members of the clergy who gave themselves to the cause of Life, Liberty, and the opportunity for people to pursue Happiness.

I write this not as in indictment against anyone and will pose my questions in the first person.  If you find it objectionable that I and other ministers are vocal on politics and believe we should be silent, that is your right.  I respect that right.  However, if my involvement offends you because you believe I should not be involved would it be acceptable for me to be offended that you are not?  If I am unkind or cruel in something I say and that is brought to my attention, I take it to prayer and if I was truly unkind or cruel I repent and seek forgiveness of both God and those offended.  However, to simply charge me with bigotry, racism, hate, vitriol, xenophobia, homophobia, or any other phobia because you disagree will not result in me recanting my position.  I know my heart and know that I am none of those things and my purpose is not to inflame or divide but to preserve the Republic and our Freedoms.  I recognize the incredibly wonderful way the gospel of our Lord Jesus can be sent around the world from a Free America.  I realize how much more difficult it would be if we were to succumb to the intent and agenda of those who would ‘fundamentally transform’ America, restricting our Freedom of Speech, and placing restrictions on Christians and ministers to preach, teach, and live according to their faith.

I am concerned for America.  I am concerned that we who are members of the clergy have allowed ourselves to be censored and silenced when we should have been vocal.  We have allowed the educational system which is largely controlled by the government to shape the views of our children.  The fruit of several generations of that abdication by parents and the church has produced a Progressive, Liberal, mindset that embraces Socialism, Abortion, and Self dangerously.  I am no longer a pastor in a local congregation but believe that any influence I might have on others I must cautiously and carefully guard and seek to lead in right paths.  My first love is God and in loving God I want to see people (all people) FREE.  I use the platforms available to me to proclaim TRUTH.  You may believe that I am wrong in what I believe and that is your right.  I try to formulate my opinions based on the Whole of Scripture and the Teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I still preach and teach the gospel message to churches whenever possible and as the door opens.  I still witness and share my faith with those in the public, in homes, hospitals, etc.  I still pray for the Lost and the Harvest to have laborers sent into it and pray that none be lost.  That is a passion of my heart to see the believers equipped for the work of ministry and the lost come to salvation.  THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE!

Yet, in doing what I believe God has called me to do, I must WATCH and PRAY.  I believe I am mandated by Scripture and the Lord to “Sound the Alarm” when I see danger.  In that calling, there is of necessity the calling out of wrong politics and policies. I do not compare myself to the disciples of the New Testament who stood before religious and political authorities and declared, “Whom shall we obey, God or man?” but I believe that I am under the same directive.  Therefore, if my being vocal on politics is not something you can tolerate I understand.  I ask that you pray for me in the ministry I have been given and I will pray for you in yours.  I love God, America, my Family, and my Freedom.  I love you!

God bless you and God bless America!

WHAT DO THE LEFTIST DO WHEN???


BLOG POST 4 - Uh Oh

I realize that what I am asking and will say, may irritate some, not go far enough for others, and may place a target on my back, but I feel compelled to address this issue.  When what?  In this case what I’m referring to is the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh by President Trump to become the newest justice on the Supreme Court.  His confirmation hearings went through the Judiciary Committee and prior to the public interrogation many Democrats have refused to meet with him deeming him UNQUALIFIED.  However, their ‘gold standard’ for all nominees has been the endorsement or rating by the American Bar Association (ABA).  Their dilemma is, the ABA has given Judge Brett Kavanaugh their highest possible rating calling him “Well Qualified.”  What do they do with that?  Before you move past that rating you must realize that the ABA is a ‘left-wing organization’, frequently taking the liberal side of issues including the 2nd Amendment, LGBT’s agenda, national sovereignty, immigration, and more.  Basically, it has been and is an extension of Democrat Policies, Ideologies, and Agendas.  That is problematic for the Democrats in Congress.  Their own organization or an organization that they depend on in promoting their policies and agendas has stamped a man they hate as WELL QUALIFIED.

Former Presidents, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama virtually NEVER nominated anyone the ABA did not endorse or rate as QUALIFIED or WELL QUALIFIED.  Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) are on record as declaring that the ABA ratings are “the Gold Standard by which judicial candidates are judged.”  NOW, WHAT?  Are they now going to disregard the ABA’s ratings and continue their assault on Judge Kavanaugh simply because he was appointed by their mortal enemy?  The ABA has often given conservatives a lower rating than their records indicates is justified simply because of politics.  With that in mind, this is almost shocking that the ABA would give Judge Kavanaugh their highest rating, WELL QUALIFIED. 

I have no doubt they will continue their NEGATIVE approach to this nominee because he is deemed a threat to their agenda and ascension to power.  They are attempting to use their resistance to his confirmation to fan the flames of hate and engender excitement in their base.  They want to use this nomination process as a means to GET OUT THE VOTE in November.  CNN’s broadcast some days ago, “At This Hour” hosted Demand Justice Executive Director and former Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Secretary Brian Fallon.  In that interview, Mr. Fallon declared that any Democrat that voted for the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, “is risking suppressing the historic level of enthusiasm we’re seeing right now from Democratic voters.”  He went on to say that, “Brett Kavanaugh is the most unpopular nominee in the last 35 years.”  Who might have been the most unpopular before Kavanaugh, in their minds?  Think about that for a moment.

The troubling allegations and accusations resulted in a second hearing where Judge Kavanaugh and one of his accusers Dr. Ford were on display for the world to see as the politics played out.  I wish I could say that this was devoted to the discovery of truth but when one side or the other could say BEFORE hearing either’s under-oath testimony they believed or disbelieved one or the other.  That suggested to me that TRUTH was not the objective but POLITICS.  I came away from the grueling and painful event with an even more deeply rooted belief that was exactly the intent.  The demand for a one-week delay and an FBI investigation into the allegations was granted and immediately the Democrats began to cry ARBITRARY and UNFAIR.  They got what they asked but it was not sufficient suggesting that this is likely less about truth than delay.  Now that the FBI has virtually concluded its investigation everyone awaits their report, and should it give no corroborating evidence to suggest guilt on the part of Judge Kavanaugh, what then?  Many on the left declared even before his being named they would not support Trump’s pick. Can that be deemed anything other than politics?  It is about Roe v Wade, the Second-Amendment, and other liberties.  I desire an Originalist, a Judge that will rule based on the Original Intent and the wording of the Constitution, not one that is a political activist and seeks to legislate from the bench and rewrite or erase portions of our American Constitution.

Turn back the pages of time and history to Ronald Reagan’s nominating to the Supreme Court a judge who was sitting on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where Kavanaugh now sits.  Do you remember who that was?  It was Judge Robert Bork and surely you remember the vilification that ensued over his nomination and the victory by the Democrats led by the infamous Senator Ted Kennedy.  Kennedy argued that Bork could not be confirmed because he was “outside the mainstream.”  That was completely illogical and insidious, but the demagogic attack was launched.  President Reagan had carried 49 of the 50 States and Bork’s views were embraced by President Reagan, so how in the name of sanity could Bork’s views be outside the mainstream?  Senator Kennedy argued that Judge Bork’s willingness to fire Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox was “sufficient by itself” to DISQUALIFY him.

It is déjà vu all over again and the Democrats now focus on Judge Kavanaugh’s views on the firing of special prosecutors.  It makes no difference if the prosecutors are rogue agents of unconstitutional agendas.  His views, to many of us, would make him squarely within the mainstream, but to the Leftist and those following the views of Toxic Liberalism and Anti-Americanism, HE MUST GO.  They argue as they did with Judge Bork that if Kavanaugh is confirmed, women will be relegated to ‘back alley abortions’, and that blacks will once again be ‘enslaved’ by rogue police and racist Republicans.  They argue that women, gays, and virtually everyone in the Leftist mainstream will be endangered and seek to fan the flames of hate, mistrust, and discord.

Judge Bork’s defeat was a “watershed event in judicial politics.”  It defeated a conservative realignment of the Supreme Court and in his place, we got Justice Anthony Kennedy who became the Swing Vote that too often voted with the liberal left.  Some have argued that Bork was defeated by a party-line vote but remember six Republicans voted with them.  The question this time is how many Democrats, if any, will cross over and vote for Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation should the FBI report offer nothing of significance?  The next question is how many Republicans will side with the Democrats and bring us another fiasco such as we witnessed with Judge Robert Bork?  I will watch both carefully and pray that the Republicans, I pray that you will STAND FIRM and that some Democrats will examine their hearts and heed the desire of 60% of Americans who desire that the Judge is confirmed if there is nothing damning in the FBI’s report.

The Supreme Court is an incredibly important part of the direction America will take in the foreseeable future.  I ask that each of you PRAY earnestly, WORK diligently, and CONTACT your Senators and let them know how you feel about this nominee and vote. The Constitutional Republic may well be hanging by that vote, so it is critically important.  I would hope that the Senators and all Americans will realize that unless the FBI provides damning corroboration against Judge Kavanaugh this is a “He said, She said” situation and in America, we MUST remain “innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.”  Would you now want the same for yourselves, your husband or wife, son or daughter, father or mother?  Of course, you would, so it is important that we, as much as is possible, lay aside politics and look at qualifications.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

 

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE THE UNPLEASABLE…


BLOG POST 1 - Never Satisfied

There was a saying that I heard often when I grew up regarding someone that was never satisfied, “They’d complain if they were hung with a new rope.”  Not exactly a desirable position and I do believe that I’d complain regardless of the newness of the rope.  But, the point was, some people are never satisfied no matter what happens.  If they don’t have they want they want more and if they have what they demand, they want more or something different.  If you agree with them and agree to their demands they demand more.  The Bible tells us in Proverbs 27:20, “Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.”  Also, in Proverbs 20:15b-19, “There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say ‘Enough!’: the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’”  Israel was not satisfied in the wilderness, even though God gave them manna, sent in quails, and provided water from the rock.  Time and again, they revealed that no matter what they had, it was never going to be enough.  That is the condition of too many in today’s world, and especially true among those following the ideology of Toxic Liberalism.

There is nothing that President Donald Trump could do short of dying that would please them and I suspect that even then they’d complain that it was not painful enough or not soon enough.  I am convinced that the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full body of Democrats in Washington will not be satisfied with an FBI investigation regardless of its revelation or lack thereof regarding Brett Kavanaugh.  Immediately upon the Senate Republicans and the President agreeing to conduct a supplemental investigation on Judge Kavanaugh following the guidelines requested, they complained.  It was not too limited, but it was what they asked.  They immediately demanded that any new allegations should be investigated which would open the door for the endless accusers to come forward regardless of how baseless and uncorroborated their stories might be.  An investigation was not their purpose.  Finding out the truth was not their purpose.  If it were, I could applaud their demands and give them the benefit of the doubt as to their motivations.  But, we are now seeing that is not the case.  They have already determined their idea of truth and which version they are willing to accept.  Anything short of the FBI referring the investigation to the Maryland authorities for investigation, indictment, and trial will not satisfy them and even that might not.

I do not know if Dr. Ford was assaulted when she was 15, 16, 17 or any other year.  I don’t know and neither does anyone else but Dr. Ford.  I can tell you something happened to me but that does not make it a factual reality.  I might tell it enough to believe it, but that does not make it a factual reality.  Judge Kavanaugh could have had a memory lapse and honestly not remember the incident, but when Dr. Ford’s close friend says she does not know Judge Kavanaugh and has no memory of being at a party with him, that is powerful and even more powerful than the Judge’s two male friends who also deny the event or any memory of the event.  Most of Judge Kavanaugh’s friends have denied knowing Dr. Ford as a teenager or she was so unremarkable to them they do not remember her.  After listening to her, I came away with the thought, that her story had some believability to it, although the other evidence suggests that if she was attacked it likely was not Brett Kavanaugh.  The insistence that her telling her therapist about the incident validates it and shows no political motive would be powerful were it not for her husband’s previous statement that in 2012 she brought it up because she knew that Mitt Romney had Brett Kavanaugh on his list of potential nominees for the Supreme Court.  That is a bit troubling.  I would have to ask why the concern for the SCOTUS and not the appellate courts?  Was this strictly because of the fear of how he might rule on Roe v Wade?  I don’t know and neither does anyone else, except Dr. Ford.

But, the Democrats demanded an FBI investigation of these charges and a week delay.  Charges that would not be considered by most law enforcement agencies because of the lack of dates, times, locations, and other corroborating information.  However, in a move to satisfy the Republicans that are on the fence and the Democrats who are in states where Trump won heavily, the GOP agreed to the limited scope and time investigation.  That does not and will never satisfy the Democrats.  This seems to be more of a shot across the bow to warn the President and the Republicans in the Senate that even if they hold serve in the mid-terms they can expect this type of assault on ANY NOMINEE.  What is their desire, “Cede Power to Us” and we will take it from here?  If the Republicans in the Senate cave to their demands or the President is swayed to take a much more modified approach the backlash in November and beyond for the Republicans will be catastrophic.  You can’t satisfy those who are not satisfiable!  That would be like trying to make a non-aggression pact with the devil and believing he would back off.  A sheep cannot vote with wolves about what to have for lunch and not expect to be lunch.

I will continue to pray for our government, Judge Kavanaugh and his family as well as Dr. Ford and her family.  I pray for our government that sanity will rule, the constitution will be observed, and that the toxicity of leftist liberalism will not prevail.  I pray for Judge Kavanaugh that God helps him and his family in this time of difficulty.  If he has something to hide I pray that he finds the courage and determination to confess his sins and if he has not that God will vindicate him.  I pray for Dr. Ford and her family and help her in this time of trouble.  If she was truly sexually abused I pray for healing.  If she is mistaken about who the perpetrator was she will be somehow enlightened and with true courage acknowledger her mistake.  I am asking the LORD to pull back the covers and expose what needs to be exposed. 

 I find it remarkable that Hillary Clinton would have the audacity to demand that any woman making such a claim be heard.  They should, but her memory must be incredibly short based on her history regarding the women that accused Bill Clinton.  I find it remarkable that the Democrats are not demanding an immediate FBI investigation into the sexual allegations and abuse claims made against several Democrats in the House and Senate.  If truth were the motive for Washington, D.C. we might never get anything else done but dealing with the various investigations.  If every allegation regardless of its merits, credibility, and corroboration is to receive a public hearing we are finished as a Republic.  I am not saying that charges of sexual harassment or abuse are not to be heard, they are!  I am not saying we should not carefully listen to the women or men who bring such charges, we should!  I am saying that the process for handling these allegations should be done discretely and confidentially using the tools available to Congress.  If the Kavanaugh situation were not a political ploy that is exactly what would have happened.  It did not and even if it was not a last-ditch effort to derail is appears that way and Perception is Reality to many people.

I only hope that all my fellow Americans take this to heart in November and realize that some people will never be satisfied with anything.  I pray that we will understand that you cannot cave to bullying, you cannot give in to the demands of the unsatisfiable.  I pray that America will realize that the direction and purpose desired by those following the toxic ideology of liberalism, socialism, and globalism will destroy America and do not believe they only want a few minor restrictions to our liberties, THEY WANT THEM ALL!  

God bless you and God bless America!
