Insurrection? What Insurrection?

 A year has passed since so-called insurrection at the nation's capitol.  I say "so-called" because none of the "insurrectionists" had weapons. If it were a real insurrection, there would have been much much more bloodshed, instead of just one woman protestor.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven. There is video of the Capitol Police opening doors and letting the protestors in with the caveat, "Don't break anything." Those who have been arrested have not been charged with insurrection, only with trespassing misdemeanors. 

There are reports that T ordered the national guard and the DC police chief agreed but was overruled by the DC mayor and by NP. NP, as SOTH, oversees the Capitol Police and her responses are at best confusing, and at worst, traitor-like. 

It is obvious to many, if not most, that the media guided this red flag event. Even today, my local station, was reporting on the "Deadly Insurrection" as if protestors had killed police or politicians.  People need to realize that if the majority of those there were actually T supporters, they were then 2A supporters as well, and they did not show up armed. Can we all agree that real insurrection would be truly bloody? 

Something is rotten in DC. Always has been; always will. 

God help us all.

Chaos in the Capitol

(Writing this as it is currently happening in DC)

Just my observation, but I think what we are seeing in Washington is the base group of Americans who are fed up with being lied to and ignored for the past 12 years. And remember, not everyone who wears a MAGA hat is a MAGA subscriber. Stories have been swirling for days of how agitators were going to go along side the peaceful protestors to cause trouble. If this was Antifa or BLM instead of MAGA, the Capitol would be on fire by now.

I've been watching a live stream for the past hour or so of the protestors on the steps of the Capitol. They are chanting "USA" and waving flags. Obviously, I don't know everything about everything that is going on, and my observation could be off.

I've read FB posts from Trump Haters denouncing everything about this. I get that. 99.9% of the protestors are peacefully protesting. I think they genuinely believe the election was rigged for Biden to win. There certainly seems to be enough documented discrepancies to come to that conclusion.

Don't get me wrong. I think there are lots and lots of things wrong with Trump. There is no politician who is perfect. (For sure) 

 

I'm sick of "politics as usual," that is, that people in power can get away with crimes just because they are in power. Take a look at the Clintons. Conservatives are tired of the GOP having no spine. I think people are starting to realize that they are the other side of the same political coin as the DNC. I'd love to see the end of both parties, or, at the very least, term limits. That would take care of a lot of the corruption.

I don't put my trust in a politician or a man-made institution. I trust God. At the same time, I understand the frustration believing the election was not just.

Third Party Voting

Are you  fed up with the two party system? Do you feel that voting for either party is essentially the same and are considering voting for a third party? According to ballotpedia.org "As of August 31, 2020, there are 1,186 candidates who filed to run, including:

• 323 Democratic candidates
• 163 Republican candidates
• 65 Libertarian candidates
• 23 Green candidates"

They layout their case that there are only four "notable" candidates and parties:

Biden (D)

Trump (R)

Jorgensen (L)

Hawkins (G)

For many people, it comes down to issues. For some, it comes down to the character of the candidate. We can debate all we want, but the reality is, a third party vote is essentially wasted.  I wish it wasn't, but it is. The third party votes by conservatives fed up with their party only subtracts from the more conservative of the two. Third party votes by moderates fed up with their party, only subtracts from the more moderate of the two.

In reality, the decision for most people is between Trump and Biden.

For me, and most Americans who don’t actually hate a candidate, we have a few months to determine for ourselves, who is the better man for the job.

On the one hand, there is the incumbent who has an ego like Nebuchadnezzar. He’s definitely not a politician but seems to care about his country.

On the other hand, the challenger is a career politician who has some genuine cognitive issues. His character flaws are as blatant as the incumbent’s but his concern for our country seems to be along party lines.

Does character matter? Absolutely! Do issues matter? You better believe it!  What about voting your conscience? Sure, if you want your vote to ensure the one you dislike the most wins. Isn't that a cop out? Not if you look at reality and know that either Biden or Trump is going to win. There is no way for a third party candidate to win, at least not in THIS election.

Reality says it’s going to be one of the characters from the two party system. Voting your conscience for a third party candidate is only good in your opinion.

One of these years, I would love to have a candidate that I truly supported rather than voting against someone. I suppose I will support Trump, but I certainly don't like everything about him. And I certainly wish he would have someone monitor his Tweets...

Nevertheless, I urge you to look back at a post I made a few years ago,  My Grandmother Was a Life-Long Democrat.  Of course, vote your conscience. But don't waste your vote!

And, no matter who is president, don't forget to pray for them and for our country!

God Bless America!

My Grandmother Was A Life-long Democrat

My maternal grandmother was a life-long Democrat.

She would always give me the party line: Republicans are for the rich; Democrats are for the common man.

In the fifteen to twenty years prior to her death, she really razzed me for ditching the Democrats. Her relatives would pull funny pranks on her like getting a picture of George Bush and having it faked autographed to his "biggest fan."

She was of, what I would call, the "old Democratic party." Back before they changed.

A few years before she passed away in 2012, after Obama had been president for a couple years, she called me and said she desperately needed to speak with me. While we didn't see eye to eye in politics, we held the same moral values.

She said that she felt the Democratic party had changed to the point that she no longer felt comfortable calling herself a Democrat. She said they no longer were for the common man, but seemed to be trying to tear America down.

She asked this question, "Without becoming a Republican, what else can I be?"

I knew this was something very serious, as for as long as I could remember, she said she would always be a Democrat.

So, we talked about her choices. We talked about becoming a Libertarian. She didn't like that so much because it sounded too much like becoming a Liberal.  We talked about her becoming an Independent. She didn't really like that because there aren't too many Independent candidates in Oklahoma and many of the local elections are settled in the primaries.

In the end, she finally asked me about the Republican party.  As I explained things the best I knew how, she exclaimed, "Well that's not what I thought they were at all!" She went on to say that they sounded more like she believed than she was led to believe.

She didn't make it to the next presidential election. As her health rapidly declined, I don't think she was ever able to register in a different party.

But I know that this life-long Democrat left the Democratic Party over values.

Let's face it; the Democratic Party today isn't the Democratic Party it was even 25 years ago. In recent DNC events, they tried to remove God from their platform and actually booed when the moderator fudged to get it back in.

In the 2016 election, they completely rigged the system against Bernie Sanders, then reportedly paid him off for his trouble.

In the past two years, they have doubled down against the traditional values in America, seemingly for the sole purpose of getting votes to remain in power.

They are willing to kill babies at the time of their birth.

They think the government should pay for sex-change operations.

They think the borders should be left wide open.

They have openly called for the confiscation of guns.

The list goes on.

Here's the deal. I'm not advocating anyone necessarily becoming a Republican, but please, for the love of God and country, walk away from the Democrats. Wake up and see what they are doing to our country.

No political party is perfect, for it is man's institution. And good grief, the Republicans have their own problems! To be honest, I wish we had something called the Patriot's Party that was the real deal alternative to the the big 2.

Most of the local elections where I live seldom have any third party candidates, and often, they only have Republican candidates, so, I'll stay put where I am for a while. I'd almost become a Libertarian, except for their views on abortion and marijuana.

But it says a lot to me, when a woman in her 90's, is seeking to find something different because in good conscience, she could not longer be a Democrat.

Sharing Opinions

Remember what it was like to be able to express an opinion without being lambasted for it? Me neither.

Well. I'm a conservative. I am pro-life. I support traditional marriage, only. I am pro-2nd Amendment. I believe in God and trust in Jesus. I think we need to build a southern-border wall. I think we need to be very very careful with any refugees we allow into our country. I am cautiously optimistic about Trump. I don't like cauliflower. I tired of the hypocrisy of Hollywood. AND the Democrats. And the Republicans. I cannot stand to be around cigarette smoke. I do not like Halloween. I do not like the commercialization/secularization of Christmas. I believe the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of the Living God. I could live without professional sports of any kind. I love my wife. I think Islam is an ideology more than a religion. I am a Sooner. I think our time on earth is drawing to a close.

There ya go. That's not all of who I am. That is only a few OPINIONS. Don't like it? Tough. De-friend me or block me or whatever. Or, you could just be tolerant of me, like I'm supposed to be of you. I'm tired of playing games.

Trump or Clinton?

Egads!

It's like some horror movie gone terribly wrong.

There's even clowns roaming around scaring people.

Is this the end?

Well, not quite, but we're getting mighty close, in my opinion.

This is the most important election so far. In the history of America. Yeah, I said it.

I know. Lot's of people are saying it, too, but I actually mean it and believe it.

First of all, let me say that I'm getting really, really tired of my vote for president being a protest vote. Oh! How I'd love to have a candidate that I actually supported! But it ain't happening this year. Again.

Second, let me say that those who compare third party candidates to Abraham Lincoln are just being plain silly, or are deluding themselves. Gary Johnson is no Abraham Lincoln. I worked with Abraham Lincoln. I know Abraham Lincoln. I was there when.... wait. Wrong candidate.  Nevermind about that. Johnson is a miniature version of Clinton.

For all the young people who can't stand the thought of Trump being president because they don't like him as a person, let me tell you a little bit about Hillary, (although I shouldn't have to). Actually, I'm not gonna just tell you; you need to research some things, too. So here:  google.com

• Fired from Watergate
• Whitewater
• Looting the White House
• Vince Foster
• Chinagate
• Filegate
• Travelgate
• Sniper fire in bosnia
• Cash Cows
• Saul Alinsky
• Thomas Alfred Taylor
• The Clinton Foundation
• Peter Franklin Paul
• Emailgate

 and last but certainly not least, and perhaps the most infamous, treasonous reason:

• Benghazi (where the "H" is silent)

And don't forget her mysterious health issues that they emphasize is not an issue....

But the biggest issue I have about HRC, besides her integrity, loyalty, health and abilities, is the fact that the next president will most likely appoint up to four new Supreme Court Justices in their first term. With Hillary and her ideology, this scares the snot out of me!

Now, to be fair, Trump isn't without his problems, too.  But they pale in comparison to HRC. He calls people names and is rude. He lost nearly a billion dollars twenty years ago. But come on people! He had a billion dollars TO LOSE!

He is brash. He says what's on his mind without thinking (or so it appears).

So, let's now take a look at those who would be just a "heartbeat away" from the Oval Office: Mike Pense and Tim Kaine. (I wish it was Pense running instead of Trump). In any case, Kaine is simply a mini-me for Hillary and Pense appears to me to be the real deal. Plus, if there is any way possible, Kaine is more rude than Trump!

So it comes down to this in my opinion: Hillary would make Obama look like a good president. If you voted for Obama just because of his race, I hope you learned your lesson. Please don't vote for Hillary just because of her sex.

Hillary; you just can't trust her.
Trump; at least he doesn't want to destroy America.

The Myth of Marriage Equality

The Homosexual Agenda has seen unprecedented advancement under the current liberal Democratic administration.  This is not a good thing.

Every media outlet has been subverted by messages of "equality"; here in Oklahoma, specifically "marriage equality" because so-called "gay marriage" is illegal here and the Agenda wants to do something about it.

There is currently a media campaign by Freedom Oklahoma pushing for the normalization of gay marriage in Oklahoma.

First of all, there is no such thing as marriage equality or marriage freedom. Homosexuals are simply looking for special rights.

Homosexuals promote a myth that they are being denied the right to marry whom they choose that is supposedly granted to non-gay people. It is a myth because non-gay people do not have the "right" to choose who they want to marry. They are prohibited by laws, conventions, tradition, religion, and common sense from marrying under-aged persons, married people, dead people, multiple people, animals and inanimate objects. And yes, people of the same sex.

I have long maintained that to permit same-sex marriage is to create a slippery slope into total moral depravity. That was proven to be fact immediately after the US Supreme Court ruled on gay marriage. Both pedophilia and bestiality groups demanded marriage rights for themselves.

Second of all, yes, I understand it isn't quite the same, but what would public outcry be if some group wanted to normalize something else and started a media campaign to do it? Say, meth makers. Or prostitution. Or marijuana? Gay marriage is currently illegal in Oklahoma. Other than financial gain, why do media outlets advertise for something that is illegal?  Fear of being called a homophobe?

Third of all, why do people who do not want a traditional relationship want traditional marriage?  I don't get that one at all.

Now, before you start labeling me bigot or homophobe, just keep your intolerant comments to yourself. There is no hate in my heart, except for the hate of the sin of disobedience. I do not hate gay people.  I'm not trying to keep anyone from doing anything that is legal or permissible. Without apology I am opposing the advancement of something that is counter-intuitive and  detrimental to the moral well-being of my culture.

I maintain that homosexuals do not want equal rights; they want special rights.

Serendipitous Ruminations

There have been several thoughts banging around in this empty head of mine; I need to get them in print. Here they are in no particular order:

• Any attempt to gain revenue by normalizing or legalizing a vice has proved counter-productive in the State of Oklahoma. First it was "Liquor by the drink", then para-mutual horse racing, then Indian casinos, then the lottery. They are looking at legalizing marijuana. What's next legalized prostitution?
• I visited the Jewish Art Museum in Tulsa yesterday. In their holocaust exhibition, they noted that Henry Ford was antisemitic and for a time, place antisemitic literature in the glove box of each new car he sold.
• The birth certificate that the White House presented as Obama's ORIGINAL birth certificate doesn't look anything like my original birth certificate. (He was born two years before me) It does, however, look like a copy of my birth certificate that I got back in the 1980's. We are being lied to.
• I am appalled at the attempt to normalize homosexuality.  Anyone who stands against this abomination is labeled as a homophobe or a bigot.  I have felt more hate directed at me for my views on homosexuality (which are in line with the Bible) than for any of my other opinions. For those who tout tolerance, they aren't very tolerant of me.
• The gun control issue isn't about guns; it's about control. The cities with the highest homicide rates are those with the strictest gun control. I really think they are afraid that they might lose their tyrannical power by allowing us to maintain our 2nd Amendment right. Wait a minute! Isn't that what the 2nd Amendment is all about?
• If it wasn't so pitiful and sad, I would find it hysterically amusing that homosexual "couples", especially lesbian couples, must have one partner who assumes the male role and one who assumes the female role. I've seen numerous "wedding" pictures where one of the women is dressed as a man and the other in a bridal dress. 
• Islam is NOT a religion of peace. It is a religion of hate and violence. Allah is not the same as the One true God of the Bible. It embodies the spirit of the antichrist. 
• I find it interesting that Hollywood's portrayal of lesbians is very very different from reality. Hollywood shows two slim, hot women who are extremely feminine and sensual; Walmart and the news show two obese decidedly butch and unattractive women. Then again, Hollywood has never been good at portraying reality.
• National Democratic politicians scream "racism" at every opportunity, but their own policies and programs are extremely racist, especially against African Americans. Their support of Planned Parenthood has killed more African Americans than the KKK could have ever imagined.
• I don't trust anyone in the current administration. Something is afoot.
• GENERALLY, churches with the words Liberty, Grace, Free, or Abundant are filled with anything but grace. It OFTEN denotes extreme legalism.
• I'll bet that the missing Malaysian Airlines plane is in Pakistan.
• One of the things that irk me most is church people who do something wrong, get caught, then lie about it, usually implicating someone else (often the preacher). Pride is so evil.
• Smokers are generally, some of the most selfish people you will ever meet. There is nothing worse than an angry militant smoker who demands their right to smoke, no matter the place or present company. They don't recognize that their addiction truly makes a slave of them to nicotine. And there is no way to hide it. You can't smoke at home or in the car and then cover it up with perfume; that doesn't work.
• I believe the Return of Jesus is eminent. Possibly by the end of next year.  Are you ready?

Debt, Default & Doom

I believe that what's happening in Washington is no mistake. In fact, I believe God is allowing it to happen to hasten the introduction of the anti-Christ.

An upside-down American flag is a sign of distress.

In order for the anti-Christ to rise to power, the world must be in absolute chaos and looking for a "savior".  The economic destruction of the United States would set the stage for the world chaos that the anti-Christ needs.

For the past several years, powers have been in force to ruin America. We have seen debt rise to more than double the previous 230 plus years of our existence.

Our debt is owned by foreign governments.

Our fall would mean their fall as well.

The current president has no desire to see America succeed. In fact, he has been at work to undermine and undo the very essence of our culture.

He ran on a platform of transparency and cooperation. Neither has been true in his administration.

In fact, he has been the most divisive president in US history; and he has the media in his back pocket. He/they have made us believe the fight is between Republicans and Democrats or even liberals and conservatives.

IT IS NOT!!

The fight is between patriots and socialists!  On a deeper level, the fight is not even between people, but between the forces of darkness jockeying for positions of power.

I believe that we are about to be living in a post-American world, as least from the point of view of what America used to be.

The USA will soon stand for the "United Socialists of America".

I hope I'm wrong.

May God have mercy on us all.

Maranatha, Lord Jesus!

Gabby Giffords Is a Hypocrite

I feel bad for Gabby Giffords being shot in the head. I don't wish violence on anyone.

But yesterday's emotional demonstration for the Senate only highlighted how much of a hypocrite Gabby Giffords is.

She said, in regard to supporting more gun control, "Too many children are dying. Too many children!"

Evidently, she is supports more gun control because it has directly effected her, but ignores the FACT that more children are killed by abortion EACH DAY than are killed in America in an ENTIRE YEAR.

If Gabby Giffords truly had the welfare of children in mind, she wouldn't be wasting her time testifying against guns, she would be testifying against abortion!

According to the website http://www.ontheissues.org/house/gabby_giffords.htm  here is Former Representative Giffords stand on abortion:

• Abortions should always be legally available. (Nov 2000)
• Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Jan 2007)
• Provide emergency contraception at military facilities. (Apr 2007)
• Ensure access to and funding for contraception. (Feb 2007)
• Focus on preventing pregnancy, plus emergency contraception. (Jan 2009)
• Endorsed by EMILY's list for pro-choice Democratic women. (Sep 2010)

There is really no other explanation for this disparity than to conclude that Gabby Giffords is a hypocrite when it comes to protecting children.

Perhaps she has been duped into testifying in favor of gun control. Perhaps the liberal left has convinced her that people don't have the right to "bear arms" but do have the right to kill unborn children.

Her plea in front of the Senate Hearing yesterday was a pathetic publicity stunt by those who wish to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights.

Remember, the gun control debate isn't about protecting children or reducing crime; it's about control. You must ask yourself why Congress keeps exempting themselves from any new gun legislation; why do they want an unarmed citizenry?

The Emotion of Gun Control

Gun Control. 

The very words evoke emotion. Most of the emotion is anger. Anger by those for gun control and anger by those against gun control.

I understand the emotion of those who desire more gun control. After watching media reports of mass shootings, often correctly called massacres, there is great emotion to control what happened.

Unfortunately, emotion gets in the way of rational thought and media attention promotes irrational thinking.

We've heard the old adage, "guns don't kill people; people kill people."  Well, as hard as it is for gun control evangelists to understand or believe, this old adage is actually true.

I have been a gun owner since I was twelve years old. My guns have only killed rabbits, squirrels, birds, and a few unfortunate tin cans that happened to be laying around.  Never have my guns been pointed at anyone and never once have they killed anyone. 

Well, that may not be entirely true. I inherited a 10 gauge shotgun (which doesn't work any longer) which has the family history of possibly having killed a horse thief prior to the American Civil War, but there is no way to substantiate that claim.

Nevertheless, as an American, I am guaranteed the right to own firearms. The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution provides every citizen with this right. The British host of  CNN's Piers Morgan Live, Piers Morgan, incorrectly claimed on his Twitter account: “The 2nd amendment was devised with muskets in mind, not high-powered handguns & assault rifles. Fact.”

This kind of thought is dangerous to the well being of Americans and the survivability of the US Constitution.  Oh yeah, it was all a result of a revolt against tyrannic rulers from England, Maybe that's why Morgan thinks it should only be muskets and seeks to undermine our Constitution.

Gun control advocates want to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines.

Again, more emotion. Gun control advocates want to do something, but they just don't know WHAT to do. So instead of thoughtful resolution, they go after emotional issues.

Gun control isn't really about controlling guns; it's about controlling people.

Who is really behind the gun control movement? Yes, you have all kinds of liberals who have jumped on the band wagon, but who is driving the wagon?

I believe it to be those who wish to destroy America as we know it. Those who desire a dis-armed population that they can control, or dispose of, without resistance.  History has shown this an effective population control method of other countries.

In America, we have the 2nd Amendment to protect Americans from those who would attempt to control us like Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.

Unfortunately, many well-meaning people have bought into the idea that if you control who has guns, you can control crime and prevent massacres.

Ask those who died in the Murrah Federal Building or the World Trade Center how many guns were used in those massacres.

And don't forget about Chicago. Chicago has the toughest gun control laws in  America and the highest homicide rate in America?

Coincidence?  I don't think so.

4 More Years

Never has 3 little words been so hard to type.

For the past 4 years, the man in the Oval Office has blamed his predecessor for the current American economic situation.

For the past 4 years, George W Bush has been vilified as an incompetent evil leader who led America down a dark path.

For the past 4 years, the man in the Oval Office has refused to take any responsibility for the current economy, despite the fact that it has been on a crash course for the past 3 years.

Poor President Obama. What a mess he has inherited in his second term!  Who is he going to blame now?

There are many, many things that concern me. Not the least of which is the state of the election.  I don't understand how many precincts can have over 100% of voter registration having voted in their precincts?  Or how some precincts can have NO votes for Romney?

I have been accused of being bitter. I don't think bitter is the right word. Frustrated, perhaps. Angry, definitely.  Concerned, without a doubt.

The next 4 years could very possibly destroy America as we know it. Obama is a narcissist that has a past that he pays millions to hide and an agenda that has slowly been unfolding during the first term. We'll see the "more flexibility" come to full fruition during the next four years.

In the movie The Matrix, Morpheus offered Neo the choice between a red pill or a blue pill. The blue pill would allow him to continue to live in ignorant blissful illusion. The red pill meant facing the uncomfortable painful reality.

How fitting that Democrats and Republicans are also represented by red and blue. It appears that, (if the election is legally valid) that more Americans prefer to live under the ignorant blissful illusion of the benevolent reign of BHO, rather than facing the painful reality that all is not well.

As of the writing of this post, more than 30 petitions have been filed on the White House website requesting peaceful secession from the USA. While these are not binding, they certainly send a message that there are still quite a few Americans who have decided on the red pill.

The red pill is, indeed, a bitter pill to swallow.

The blue pill, however, goes down just like Koolaid....

A Message to Obama Supporters

Dear Obama Supporters,

As the election draws near, I'd like to take the opportunity to mention a few things.

1. If you voted for Obama in '08 to prove you weren't a racist, please vote for someone else in '12 to prove you aren't an idiot.

2. If you voted for Obama in '08 because you truly believed his message of "Hope and Change", please take a careful look at what he promised and what he delivered. His record speaks for itself.

3. If you voted for Obama in '08 because you are a "died in the wool Democrat" and you vote the party line no matter what, please take a moment to consider the changes your party has gone through in the past 30 or so years. It ain't your father's party anymore. Their platform supports abortion, supports gay marriage, and removed God from their official party line. While they returned "God" to their platform, Democrats booed the action from the Convention floor.

4. If you support Obama in '12 because you cannot bring yourself to vote for a Mormon, consider that Obama was raised a Muslim and has never renounced Islam. He calls himself a Christian, but  doesn't attend church, and all but elevates Islam above everything else. He bows to foreign kings (bows even lower to Arab kings). While Romney may be Mormon, his values are in line with traditional American values. To put it bluntly, neither candidate is a Christian. You'll never find a candidate that lines up 100% with your personal values; vote for the one that most closely resembles your convictions.

5. If you support Obama in '12 because you think he deserves a chance to finish what he started, Obama, himself, said in '08, "If I can't fix this economy in my first term, I don't deserve a second term."  By his own admission, he doesn't deserve to be president.

The course that Obama has set for America is not a prosperous, healthy course; it is a course for destruction. He has accumulated more debt than all the previous presidents COMBINED. He is slowly eroding the core values of America. He has the values that are anti-Christ/Christian. He refuses to tell us who paid for his college. He refuses to reveal anything about his past, except what is carefully orchestrated. In short, how, honestly, can you trust this man for ANOTHER four years when he won't have to worry about being re-elected?

Who Is this Man who Calls Himself Obama?

And why is he still in the White House?

• Barack Hussein Obama

• Barry Soetero

• Larry Sinclair

• SSN 042-68-4425

• Columbia University records

•  Forged Birth Certificate

•  Undisclosed passport

What's REALLY going on here?

Even if you are an Obama fan, surely you have to ask yourself why there haven't been satisfactory disclosure of some of these questions.

Why does the mainstream media ignore these questions and call everyone who asks them disparaging names, discrediting them in the process?

Why does the nation allow this man to continue to live in the White House?

Pulling Out the "Hate" Card (and the "Victim Mentality"

I think the "Hate Card" has become the new "Race Card." You know, conveniently declaring everything else someone says is "Hate Speech" because you disagree with them and can't come up with any other good answer.

I've had the "Hate Card" pulled out twice on me in the past 24 hours on Facebook.

Interestingly, it had to do with religion and politics.

People who run out of things to say and end up saying, "You're just so full of hate" have essentially given up. They've fallen into a "Victim Mentality" that they aren't able to argue so they'll just insult the person instead.

How very sad.

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I hate you!

Just the same, just because I lose an argument to you doesn't mean that I'm gonna hate you or say that you are full of hate speech or insult you!

I find it so interesting that simply standing up for God's word brings so much ire from people who say they follow Jesus.

Let's face it: abortion is anti-biblical, anti-God, and anti-Jesus; homosexuality is anti-biblical, anti-God, and anti-Jesus.

How can it be hate to declare what God says???

God loves us SO MUCH that He sent Jesus to deliver us from abortion, homosexuality, immorality, porn, gossip, murder, hatred, divorce, gluttony, addiction, promiscuity, gambling, drunkenness, grudges, (and a host of other sins).

Does God love the person who has an abortion, practices homosexuality, practices immorality, watches porn, engages in gossip, commits murder, harbors hatred, gets a divorce, etc?  Of course He does! He does not discriminate in His love for the sinner.

HOWEVER, He detests the sin! He abhors it. He cannot and will not tolerate it. In fact, He calls EVERY PERSON to repentance.

Ahhhh... repentance.  Therein lies the rub.

Everyone wants to be forgiven and go to Heaven, but no one wants to do what God wants you to do.

I remember when I was 10 or 12 years old and put my hand down on a sand bur. (It's a thorny bur with barbs that is painful going in and horrific coming out).   It was right in the palm of my hand and was very deep.  I cried out in pain and my mother came to my aide. She told me to show her the bur, but I didn't want to because I knew that she would want to pull it out.  I didn't want her to. She did anyway and it HURT!!!  I called her "mean."  If she hadn't done it, it would probably still be in my hand all these years later.

Was my mother mean? No. She did it out of love. Did I want her to do it? No. Am I glad she did?  Of course.

Now, it's obvious that I'm not your mother. And I don't want to be. You're most likely an adult, if you are reading this post. Or at least an adolescent.  You should have the skills to extrapolate the meaning of this post and use it in your own life.

It doesn't give me a feeling of superior morality to think "I'm right and you're wrong."  I'll be the very first one to admit I'm not even CLOSE to perfect.

Some have even called me "judgmental." I've mentioned that I'm like a speed limit sign. I don't make the laws or write the tickets; I just tell you what the speed limit is so that you DON'T get a ticket....

Truth should NOT BE the new "Hate Speech."

A Phone Call to Trinity United Church of Christ

Back in 2008, when Candidate Obama was running for POTUS, and people began to say that he was a Muslim, I called the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago to ask them about Obama.

I specifically asked, "Is Barack Obama a Christian?"

At the time, I was satisfied with the answer, mainly because I wanted to believe he truly was a Christian.

Yet, now, I am upset with myself for accepting their answer without further inquiry.  They answered (and I quote) "Barack Obama is a member of this church."

How stupid can I be?  That koolaid tasted good then, but has since left a bitter taste in my mouth.

A Thousand Years of Darkenss - Book Review

I received my autographed copy from the author in a web contest. He claims he wrote from "today's headlines." He said that in 2011, but the problem is, much of what is going on in 2012 is also in the book!

Sasser's fast-paced action keeps the reader's attention. The reader can readily identify with many of the characters.  The interjection of "press releases" and quotes intensifies the suspense.

Billed as "fiction", it is an accurate portrayal of what the current administration's second term could be like, if re-elected. It should be required reading for all starry-eyed young liberals, and for all who tow the party line. I would recommend this book to every American patriot before it gets banned as subversive!

Childish Name-calling

Over the course of the last couple of years, I have been called some ugly names by some of my real-life friends, my Facebook friends, and certainly from sniper attack trolls on this blog.

Names have included "hater" "jerk" "homophobe" "@sshole" "racist" "idiot" "without compassion" "moron", et al. I've been accused of promoting "hate speech" (when quoting Scripture from the Bible). I've even been accused of not being "Christian-like" when I say that the Bible says something is sin!

It (generally only) happens when I have stood up for God's Truth and traditional values. Some have disagreed with me without insulting me personally; I'm good with that (and that happens ALL THE TIME, esp regarding politics).

Some took offense by what was said and de-friended me; oh well.

Of course, others have flamed me with anonymous comments on this blog.

Call me what you will; it only reaffirms my convictions!

The Unraveling of America

Well, it's been a wonderful experiment, but it's just about over now. Many great things has happened in it's 235 year run.

Numerous advances in medicine and science amazed the world and brought good things to mankind.

However, the basic principles of freedom have slowly been eroded or corrupted or abused to undermine the very intention of the founding fathers.

Slowly but surely, good has become evil and evil, good.  Lies have become truth and truth, hate.  Those who speak truth have been labeled as bigots, intolerant, or haters.

The words of those who established this experiment have been twisted and used, in essence, against them.

But, the end is near. Hardly any person elected to oversee this experiment remembers what the experiment was all about. They have become self-interest seekers and "for profit" politicians.  It almost begs that a grand conspiracy is underway; not necessarily the crazy idea of those who are paranoid.  The leader even appears to be hell-bent on hastening the end of the experiment.

The very fiber of this experiment is unraveling.

It would be  easy to blame it on liberalism, or atheistic leadership, or even a more devious entity.

But it is our fault.

Under the guise of Freedom of Religion, we let "them" remove God and prayer from our schools, government, and finally our own lives, and are allowing the substitution of false religions, false gods and idolatry to rule.

Under the guise of Freedom of Speech, we've allowed profanity, pornography, and propaganda rule the airways which continually erode senses of morality and decency.

Under the guise of Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, we've granted the homosexual agenda free access to our children and a pseudo-legitimate status that will only increase until it  becomes the norm, instead of the ab-norm is has always been.

We have elected ungodly leaders. We have adopted an ungodly attitude of tolerance and political correctness.  We have brought this on ourselves.

It will only get worse because, now, I believe, God is judging America for our choices.

Instead of actually following the national motto, "In God We Trust", we have replaced the trust of God with money, power, and pleasure.

God is jealous and will not tolerate the worship of others and will not share His glory with anyone or anything.

We have a choice to make. We can gripe and complain and maintain status quo and accept God's punishment, or we can change and conform to God's will and accept God's punishment.

How stupid of us to get punished and not be paying attention enough to change.

God is in control.

Still Blaming Bush???

US DEBT - Over $16 trillion by the end of 2012. Look when it was spent.
1789 thru 2008 (219 years) - $9 trillion
2009 thru 2012 (4 years) - $7 trillion

Can someone explain how 2009-2012 is the fault of Reagan, Bush, the Tea Party or Fox News? Anyone?
