Unbelievable Ignorance of Mentally Challenged Democrats
Since the democrats created this mortgage fiasco in the first place via Clinton, Franks, and Dodd with the prodding of the black caucus they now feel obligated to make scapegoats out of the rest of us. These leaders forced the Macs and Maes of the financial world to make loans to people they knew couldn’t afford them. By now most know people bought homes they couldn’t afford and weren’t even ask if they could afford them have defaulted and as a result the rest of us that live within our means meaning much sacrifice to keep our ever-loving heads above water are being forced to pay the notes. While they continue to live in penthouses many of us are still in the outhouses yet we are being told to have compassion on these that can’t afford these luxurious homes. Adding insult to injury, we are now not being asked but told we are going to bail out Bank of America for the bad home loans they made to illegal invaders and other such loans to lawbreakers. Just the fact they made loans to lawbreakers was enough to make me switch banks, now I have to pay for those bad loans. What gives people? I'll tell you one thing that gives. Hillary is offering these homes to foreigners or so I am told. America has gone to hell in a hand basket and no one seems to care but me. Woe is me the whole world is collapsing around me! What to do what to do? It has been reported several times some of these people that purchased these expensive homes had incomes of $19,000 per year or less and got sub-prime mortgages or variable rate interest loans of as much as $700,000. How can this be? I figured out one thing I think. The international financiers that control monetary matters in America and the rest of the world like Republicans better than democrats. Why, because when it comes to getting really dumb things accomplished they know they can depend on the democrats, hence the mortgage crisis. They simply play on the power sympathies. They know democrats are so desperate for power they will do anything to obtain it. Liberals never admit to mistakes but instead find a way to justify their actions and putting their folly on the backs of the taxpayers is always the action they take for their own "goofs". Never mind the fact Obama can’t find anyone to serve his socialist agenda but tax dodgers. Don’t get me wrong I believe in being my brother’s keeper but the democrats have taken this responsibility to a whole new level and out of the realm of what it truly means. But as the saying goes birds of a feather flock together. This reminds me of a story a person sent me and it fits perfectly into the mindset of democrats we now have running our country.
Little Red Hen
Who will help me plant my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the cow. "Not I," said the duck. "Not I," said the pig. "Not I," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself." She planted her crop and the wheat grew andripened. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen. "Not I," said the duck. "Out of my classification," said the pig. "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. "I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen. "That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see.They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share but the little red hen said,"No, I shall eat all five loaves." "Excess profits!" cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi) "Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer) "I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson) The pig just grunted in disdain. (Harry Reid) And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and aroundthe little red hen, shouting obscenities. Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, "You must notbe so greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said Barak the farmer. "That is what makes our free enterprisesystem so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants.But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers mustdivide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle." And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, whosmiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand." But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again bakedbread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free. And all theDemocrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared solong as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for. EPILOGUE Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight yearsrepeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything. IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?
It is becoming more obvious everyday liberal democrats have lived a deprived life and some have made it to positions of authority determined others don’t have to. They spend so much working on the self-esteem of people they totally destroy the meaning of the word especially the part the demands messing up and learning from it and pulling on the boot straps and going forward. This is how one attains lasting self-esteem. If one never learns from his/her mistakes and makes the necessary adjustments to right the wrong they stay muddled in the mire their whole lives and the only recourse is to blame somebody else for their failures. This is why we have such educational programs created such as Goals 2000 and such. Instead of correcting a child that said two plus two is five by telling him/her it is four these ignoramuses’ teach if that is what you want it to be then that is the right answer. They say there is a spirit behind everything that happens and I have to wonder what was God thinking when he created some of these evil mentally challenged spirits that chose to follow Satan over God or was it they had turned so bad he turned them over to a reprobate mind? Remember, according to liberal thinking it is always somebody else's fault and never the person that commits the murder, crime or whatever the circumstance dictates. To a liberal taking responsibility for one’s own actions puts that person in the class of bigots, hate mongers, and whatever else they dream up to demean acceptance of personal responsibility. The term “pass the buck” has shot its wad as far as I am concerned. This ideology is why America has fallen behind the rest of the world in so many areas and soon we will be no more than a third world country if “we the people” don’t fire every incumbent in Washington and take our country back. The only qualification for being a liberal is to be in all aspects as it pertains to life in general mentally challenged or “dumb and dumber”.

Should Christians Engage in Politics
Should Christians Engage Themselves in Politics
George Washington"Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics." This is only a sampling of what the founding fathers believed about Christian citizen’s involvement in politics.
Since Christians have been charged by God to be the watchmen over the souls of man the simple answer is yes. However in America today Christians have been made to believe they shouldn’t engage themselves in the political arena and most have bought into this lie. Jesus involved himself in the politics of his day on monetary matters as well as other things. Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers or manipulators of currency, and the seats of them that sold doves. Further study of this event reveals some unknowns to most. These businessmen with the approval of the political and religious establishment of that day were deceiving the common folk if you will into exchanging their money for worthless money hence the term moneychangers. Do we not see this exact same thing happening in America today in its various forms and being propagated by politicians in Washington who in our day and time could actually be described as the scribes and the international financiers the Pharisees? Remember this scripture is given us for an example to follow. Very seldom is the same action taken recorded repeatedly except for some in the gospels. He may have very well done this in other places as well. The scripture says he did so many things there was not room to write it all down. Common sense tells me it was unnecessary to record every instance where the same thing was accomplished. Can you imagine reading over and over everything Jesus did. What would be the purpose? Again, these examples provide the roadmap for the Christian to follow. Below are more examples of how the early church got knee-deep in the politics of their day but under much worse circumstances that we in America face as far as freedom to petition government is concerned. John Adams, said, "Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." Adams went further, declaring, "So great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectful members of society." What better way is there to be useful citizens than for those that name the name of Christ to stand guard over our freedoms from the federal and business level?
It is important to understand in a democracy such as ours because of the wisdom of our founding fathers setting up a check and balance system it is much easier for would be dictators to accomplish their agenda incrementally until the whole program is put in place such as the Real I.D. act that will eventually lead to receiving a chip in our hand or forehead or the installation of populist appealing red light cameras to stop wrecks and injury leading to surveillance cameras watching our every move as has happened in Europe and this card check legislation being crafted that will take away the freedom of workers to make their own choice as to whether they want the unions to dictate their every move. There are at least two ways to describe the same thing as far as how evil is accomplished in a democracy and I want to familiarize you with both. One is if you here the term “mission creep” and as the bible makes reference, a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Mission Creep means dictatorial policy is accomplished by these people little by little by installing bits and pieces toward an ultimate goal and in 99% of the cases I believe it is safe to say it is to increase one group’s power over another until they are brought into total subjection. Unchecked power corrupts the checks and balance system the constitution provides, which is what made America successful in the past. In other words, fascism has been stopped at the door because of the hurdles it has had to overcome in our great land but as we are seeing the roadblocks are being removed incrementally so most won’t notice until it is too late. This is why Christians are the bastions of freedom or should be and for that reason must continually pay attention to issues especially by those that man the pulpits. What we are witnessing with the Obama administration is the expedited way he and his cronies are installing fascist policy. Truth is they are moving so swiftly, it is hard to keep up with especially when the media doesn’t report the truth but instead is obviously behind him tooth and nail. In six weeks Obama and his socialist supporters in congress and special interest organizations have been working on making gun ownership illegal, redefining marriage, expanding abortion funding worldwide, calling for the doubling of foreign aid to include moving terrorist (falsely called Palestinians) onto our soil at taxpayer expense, passed a so-called stimulus bill that in truth was done to make permanent democratic control of government by creating a populace that is subservient to government and really has socialism written all over it, and is intent on shutting down opposition to his policies by rebirthing the “Fairness Doctrine”. This is all happening so fast by design it is hard to keep up with and you can look for much of this to be hidden in other legislation to keep the public from knowing it. This is the way things are done in Washington whether it be Republicans or Democrats. The latest method is to force votes before the bills are read. Another important thing we must pay serious attention to is the treaties the U.N. now feels it can get passed because they have their socialist in office and that means both houses of congress and the president. I might add here this is why the battle for the senate office in Minnesota is so important to the internationalist and the socialist Democrats to get this seat because it will consolidate the power making the needed 60 votes required by most senate action to avoid filibusters. But once again these laws will be enacted by being hidden in bills and once a treaty is signed into law it is almost impossible to get out of so we can’t expect a conservative replacement for running the affairs of government to overturn these treaties. I am emphatically telling you not to count on the Republicans with the exception of a few to stop this corrupting of principles we as a country have successfully lived by for over 200 years because they have proven where their loyalties are beholden to so far. To me it is like a huge veil or TARP of deception has been pulled over our eyes blinding us because of the fear Obama and his willing accomplices the Democrats has instilled in us. But I warn you of why it is important that you understand one of the reasons America is moving toward fascism today. It is because they have put aside the constitution as the rule of law or amended it through the use of unanswerable, un-elected bureaucrats to accommodate the globalist. Instilling fear has always been a successfully used tool of tyrannical men and as one of our great leaders of by gone days proclaimed, “One of the first goals of tyranny is to create fear in the population, fear so paralyzing that the public will accept any measure to allay it. Make the threat onerous enough and the people will relinquish everything”. End of quote! The government is always presenting us with a crisis, whether it is health care, terrorism, crime, environmental or whatever they dream up. We the people are left with two choices, be consumed with the crisis or let the government solve the threat of the day by limiting, constraining, or removing freedoms. We are almost at the point as Voltaire noted, “It is dangerous to be right when your government is wrong.” Former president Teddy Roosevelt saw through this deception: “Patriotism means to stand by the country; it does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.” I might add that Teddy’s philosophy followed that of founding father Thomas Jefferson when Shay's Rebellion of farmers broke out in Massachusetts in 1786, Jefferson wrote to James Madison, "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." End of quote! Contrary to what we are seeing today one could surmise Roosevelt didn’t see a president as a “Messiah”. I have to assume Obama likes this christening because he has yet to downplay this heralded status put upon him by the media or individuals such as Louis Farakken an extremist white folk hating Muslim. U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson put it simply: “It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” I think it is fair to say this justice’s comment is a far cry from what we hear from these “liberal lawmaking judges” today. “We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts, “said Abraham Lincoln, “not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Another of our great founding fathers (Thomas Jefferson) imparted a bit of wisdom to us when he said, “When the government fears the people, there is liberty, but when the people fear the government there is tyranny. Here is what the father of our country said. George Washington: Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. Either we live by our principles or we don't have any principles. They are defined by what they are against, more than what they are for. I'm for constitutionally limited government. I'm for freedom, which includes individual rights. I'm for self-government and the rights of Americans to own property, guns or anything else they want to own. I'm for personal responsibility and accountability to God. End of quote! In other words, finding excuses for not getting involved in theirs and the future well-being of their children’s economic and spiritual prosperity. Conservatives today are letting liberals define them and we must stop this now.
One of the things already in place is the existence of a “Master Search Warrant” and “Master Arrest Warrant,” the latter of which (authorized by the Attorney General) directs the FBI to: Arrest persons whom I deem dangerous to the public peace and safety. Again I asked, “What is a threat?” Could it be opposition to the homosexual agenda through the evil “Hate Crimes Law”? As it is currently crafted it would be criminal to even think bad thoughts about this abominable behavior as God calls it. I know the first response would be how are you going to prove someone had a bad thought about a homosexual? Don’t be deceived they don’t need proof, all they need is through the use of the taxpayer funded ACLU or American Communist Law Usurpers get it to the right judge and he will take care of it and knowing full well most people can’t afford the cost of appeals to higher courts. According to the above it is whatever any Attorney General deems a threat to be. Remember, it was Janet Reno who said, “The religious right is the greatest threat.” Someone please explain to me what happened to the Bill of Rights in the derivation of these onerous laws and directives. Who stole Articles 4, 5, and 6? Of course at present only the Navy and Marines can do this because they are not subject to USC Title 10 Posse Comitatus prohibitions against using federal military forces for domestic law enforcement. Could it be anything that would impede the forward progress of the One-World Government? The people at Waco or Ruby Ridge must be examples of what they consider a threat. Bill Clinton took this a giant leap forward by creating an order (Presidential Directive #25), which by the way is still in effect that says in a national emergency the U.N. would have the authority to come in and take over. Chew on that a little bit.
Judging from what I have seen thus far Obama is no doubt a master of deception so much so it is almost as though he is accomplishing his will upon America through inhuman means. Hum, I wonder if maybe the real battle we are fighting lies in Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. However, rest assured Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord if 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.. Romans 8:28 Furthermore, we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Obama’s latest tirade is “bring it on” a populist choice of words he knows will appeal to those either too ignorant or those who half pay attention, which I am convinced unfortunately is the majority of people to the issues of concern. He is referring to lobbyist dissatisfaction to his socialist policy. While I and most Americans agree the lobbyist must be brought under control because they are undermining the real power in America, the American people themselves, he can make statements like this because of his bedfellows Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House and Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader share his goal of creating a socialistic country. The internationalist confers with him either directly or through the State Department or Commerce Department and he and they confers with each other. At least for the very word’s sake consider this concerning Obama’s, Pelosi’s and Reid’s masterful deception tactics; 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 and no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. How does he accomplish this? He does it with masterful oratory skills and demeanor by using appealing words of deception meaning he is saying one thing he knows the public likes in a masterful way but with an entirely different application than what they have perceived as his meaning. He has already proven this in only six weeks of being in office. For instance, he said like the government, which has got to be a joke, tighten your belts and if one is intelligent enough based on his performance so far and what he has already done should realize the meaning of this is more oppressive taxation is coming our way. Only the astute observer will catch this. In other words, from what he has already proven in his agenda, he is intent on taking us down the road to fascism and at breakneck speed because he realizes the honeymoon will soon be over and he has to accomplish his agenda before the public gets wise to his deceptive policy. Saul Alinsky, his communist mentor along with fellow communist terrorist Ayers warned him to get this accomplished very fast to avoid backlash. So, Obama speaks it, Pelosi and Reid put into law with their authority to write law and most often without other legislators having been given the time to read the legislation and/or hiding it in other legislation. This is of course a disgrace but that is the way it is done nowadays whether its Republicans or Democrats in charge. Another method that flies under the radar is doing it through un-elected bureaucrats of federal agencies who for every law congress creates pump out 18 regulations (a way of circumventing the constitution) and all with the force of law that sometimes end up in the courts with little or no attention paid to it by the controlled media therefore the public rarely even knows it is going on. And considering their willing accomplices in the judiciary they most often get their way. Any way you slice this is run amuck federalism the constitution made no allowances for.
Early Christian Involvement in Politics
The Apostles and Christians were knee deep in involvement of the political climate of their day and some were killed because of their biblical stands against men of corrupt minds. A survey of all they did through scripture and such text as the Foxes book of Martyrs plus many more gives us the right to know the truth about Christian involvement in politics that will turn unto salvation for all that adhere to it. These men of corrupt minds were the same as we see today in America constantly changing the political climate of their day for their own gain, which always lead to moral decay. Paul challenged both the political and religious establishment of their day on issues and in this particular text of Acts 15 below about circumcision. In Acts chapters 25 and 26 we find the apostle Paul challenging the King himself. If a king is not a politician what is he? He also challenged them concerning immoral sex acts such as homosexuality (Romans 1) and this included the political viewpoints of the leaders of these countries. Today in America this same issue is being fought by the opposing political forces that be. The Democrats are pushing for same sex marriage and the right to kill innocent babies and the Republicans are against this and allowing homosexuals the right to adopt children. For example: Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. The apostle didn’t mince words with these leaders as the text above suggest. In other words, unlike many of us Christians today they put faith on their legs and took it to them. The frustration of these political and spiritual leaders (notice the text says rulers) grew so bad they accused Paul of Acts 17:6 and when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also. This is but one example of the role of the Christian in society today to challenge the political establishment when they go astray of righteous living as given by God’s word. The question that begs an answer is why should Christians engage themselves in the politics of the day? The answer to a good conscience is this we what we are really waging warfare against Ephesians 6:12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places and this includes men that rule over the lives of people. It was men Jesus and the apostles fought against that were under the influence of the imps of Satan. Is it not true the issue of homosexuality being challenged by the church is now being fought in the political landscape which includes the courts? If Christians were not opposed to this abomination there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Our society has become so secular minded through deceit there wouldn’t be enough opposition to withstand these wilds of the devil. Like it or not as long as a person/persons stand against immorality a political solution will inevitably follow. The answer to a good conscience is for all Christians to reach the unity of the spirit as we are admonished to do on these immoral issues and tear down the strongholds of these rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. If we do this then the battle becomes the Lords. Thus saith the LORD unto you, be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. Of course the main prerequisite is for Christians is to first examine themselves to see if they are of the faith. Second, do all of the above as laid out in Ephesians the sixth chapter and throw in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 for good measure and we will have assured victory. So as you can see from the above this idea that Christians should not engage themselves in politics is pure hogwash. Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that thou may be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. But I would have you to know O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Prayer from a sincere repentant heart will produce fruit. We are to as the scripture admonishes us to James 5:16 confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much and Romans 8:31 what shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? We must avoid; Matthew 15:7-19 you hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, this people draw nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand; it is not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, do you know that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Hebrews 4:12 for the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Because as I have already pointed out the battle we are fighting is against the principalities and powers of the air or on high, which makes it spiritual makes it impossible to separate the spiritual from the political. Let me say that again, it is impossible to be pleasing to God to attempt to separate the spiritual from the political. They are inevitably intertwined and as the last book of the bible teaches us the spiritual (false prophet) and political will have such a negative effect on human beings with the anti-Christ and the false church leadership joining forces and it will only be by God’s intervention that it be righted. I for one do not want the Lord to look upon me and say Isaiah 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. So with this thought in mind I think it is fairly safe to assume the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of moral crisis do nothing and many Republicans can count themselves dealt in. Ben Franklin "I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did." The apostle James confirms this reasoning with James 2:18 yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Even our first president George Washington knew better when he made the statement; "Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics." Benjamin Franklin said, "Whoever will introduce into public affairs (both social and political) the principles of Christianity will change the face of the world." This statement seems to contradict today’s version of separation and church doesn’t it?
I leave you with this thought: George Washington: Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. Either we live by our principles or we don't have any principles. Conservatives today are letting liberals define them. They are defined by what they are against, more than what they are for. I'm for constitutionally limited government. I'm for freedom, which includes individual rights. I'm for self-government and the rights of Americans to own property, guns or anything else they want to own. I'm for personal responsibility and accountability to God. How about you?

This is all happening so fast by design it is hard to keep up with and you can look for much of this to be hidden in other legislation to keep the public from knowing it. This is the way things are done in Washington whether it be Republicans or Democrats. The latest method is to force votes before the bills are read. Another important thing we must pay serious attention to is the treaties the U.N. now feels it can get passed because they have their socialist in office and that means both houses of congress and the president. I might add here this is why the battle for the senate office in Minnesota is so important to the internationalist and the socialist Democrats to get this seat because it will consolidate the power making the needed 60 votes required by most senate action to avoid filibusters. But once again these laws will be enacted by being hidden in bills and once a treaty is signed into law it is almost impossible to get out of so we can’t expect a conservative replacement for running the affairs of government to overturn these treaties. I am emphatically telling you not to count on the Republicans with the exception of a few to stop this corrupting of principles we as a country have successfully lived by for over 200 years because they have proven where their loyalties are beholden to so far. To me it is like a huge veil or TARP of deception has been pulled over our eyes blinding us because of the fear Obama and his willing accomplices the Democrats has instilled in us. But I warn you of why it is important that you understand one of the reasons America is moving toward fascism today. It is because they have put aside the constitution as the rule of law or amended it through the use of unanswerable, un-elected bureaucrats to accommodate the globalist. Instilling fear has always been a successfully used tool of tyrannical men and as one of our great leaders of by gone days proclaimed, “One of the first goals of tyranny is to create fear in the population, fear so paralyzing that the public will accept any measure to allay it. Make the threat onerous enough and the people will relinquish everything”. End of quote! The government is always presenting us with a crisis, whether it is health care, terrorism, crime, environmental or whatever they dream up. We the people are left with two choices, be consumed with the crisis or let the government solve the threat of the day by limiting, constraining, or removing freedoms. We are almost at the point as Voltaire noted, “It is dangerous to be right when your government is wrong.” Former president Teddy Roosevelt saw through this deception: “Patriotism means to stand by the country; it does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.” I might add that Teddy’s philosophy followed that of founding father Thomas Jefferson when Shay's Rebellion of farmers broke out in Massachusetts in 1786, Jefferson wrote to James Madison, "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." End of quote! Contrary to what we are seeing today one could surmise Roosevelt didn’t see a president as a “Messiah”. I have to assume Obama likes this christening because he has yet to downplay this heralded status put upon him by the media or individuals such as Louis Farakken an extremist white folk hating Muslim. U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson put it simply: “It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” I think it is fair to say this justice’s comment is a far cry from what we hear from these “liberal lawmaking judges” today. “We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts, “said Abraham Lincoln, “not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Another of our great founding fathers (Thomas Jefferson) imparted a bit of wisdom to us when he said, “When the government fears the people, there is liberty, but when the people fear the government there is tyranny. Here is what the father of our country said. George Washington: Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. Either we live by our principles or we don't have any principles. They are defined by what they are against, more than what they are for. I'm for constitutionally limited government. I'm for freedom, which includes individual rights. I'm for self-government and the rights of Americans to own property, guns or anything else they want to own. I'm for personal responsibility and accountability to God. End of quote! In other words, finding excuses for not getting involved in theirs and the future well-being of their children’s economic and spiritual prosperity. Conservatives today are letting liberals define them and we must stop this now.
One of the things already in place is the existence of a “Master Search Warrant” and “Master Arrest Warrant,” the latter of which (authorized by the Attorney General) directs the FBI to: Arrest persons whom I deem dangerous to the public peace and safety. Again I asked, “What is a threat?” Could it be opposition to the homosexual agenda through the evil “Hate Crimes Law”? As it is currently crafted it would be criminal to even think bad thoughts about this abominable behavior as God calls it. I know the first response would be how are you going to prove someone had a bad thought about a homosexual? Don’t be deceived they don’t need proof, all they need is through the use of the taxpayer funded ACLU or American Communist Law Usurpers get it to the right judge and he will take care of it and knowing full well most people can’t afford the cost of appeals to higher courts. According to the above it is whatever any Attorney General deems a threat to be. Remember, it was Janet Reno who said, “The religious right is the greatest threat.” Someone please explain to me what happened to the Bill of Rights in the derivation of these onerous laws and directives. Who stole Articles 4, 5, and 6? Of course at present only the Navy and Marines can do this because they are not subject to USC Title 10 Posse Comitatus prohibitions against using federal military forces for domestic law enforcement. Could it be anything that would impede the forward progress of the One-World Government? The people at Waco or Ruby Ridge must be examples of what they consider a threat. Bill Clinton took this a giant leap forward by creating an order (Presidential Directive #25), which by the way is still in effect that says in a national emergency the U.N. would have the authority to come in and take over. Chew on that a little bit.
Judging from what I have seen thus far Obama is no doubt a master of deception so much so it is almost as though he is accomplishing his will upon America through inhuman means. Hum, I wonder if maybe the real battle we are fighting lies in Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. However, rest assured Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord if 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.. Romans 8:28 Furthermore, we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Obama’s latest tirade is “bring it on” a populist choice of words he knows will appeal to those either too ignorant or those who half pay attention, which I am convinced unfortunately is the majority of people to the issues of concern. He is referring to lobbyist dissatisfaction to his socialist policy. While I and most Americans agree the lobbyist must be brought under control because they are undermining the real power in America, the American people themselves, he can make statements like this because of his bedfellows Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House and Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader share his goal of creating a socialistic country. The internationalist confers with him either directly or through the State Department or Commerce Department and he and they confers with each other. At least for the very word’s sake consider this concerning Obama’s, Pelosi’s and Reid’s masterful deception tactics; 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 and no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. How does he accomplish this? He does it with masterful oratory skills and demeanor by using appealing words of deception meaning he is saying one thing he knows the public likes in a masterful way but with an entirely different application than what they have perceived as his meaning. He has already proven this in only six weeks of being in office. For instance, he said like the government, which has got to be a joke, tighten your belts and if one is intelligent enough based on his performance so far and what he has already done should realize the meaning of this is more oppressive taxation is coming our way. Only the astute observer will catch this. In other words, from what he has already proven in his agenda, he is intent on taking us down the road to fascism and at breakneck speed because he realizes the honeymoon will soon be over and he has to accomplish his agenda before the public gets wise to his deceptive policy. Saul Alinsky, his communist mentor along with fellow communist terrorist Ayers warned him to get this accomplished very fast to avoid backlash. So, Obama speaks it, Pelosi and Reid put into law with their authority to write law and most often without other legislators having been given the time to read the legislation and/or hiding it in other legislation. This is of course a disgrace but that is the way it is done nowadays whether its Republicans or Democrats in charge. Another method that flies under the radar is doing it through un-elected bureaucrats of federal agencies who for every law congress creates pump out 18 regulations (a way of circumventing the constitution) and all with the force of law that sometimes end up in the courts with little or no attention paid to it by the controlled media therefore the public rarely even knows it is going on. And considering their willing accomplices in the judiciary they most often get their way. Any way you slice this is run amuck federalism the constitution made no allowances for.
Early Christian Involvement in Politics
The Apostles and Christians were knee deep in involvement of the political climate of their day and some were killed because of their biblical stands against men of corrupt minds. A survey of all they did through scripture and such text as the Foxes book of Martyrs plus many more gives us the right to know the truth about Christian involvement in politics that will turn unto salvation for all that adhere to it. These men of corrupt minds were the same as we see today in America constantly changing the political climate of their day for their own gain, which always lead to moral decay. Paul challenged both the political and religious establishment of their day on issues and in this particular text of Acts 15 below about circumcision. In Acts chapters 25 and 26 we find the apostle Paul challenging the King himself. If a king is not a politician what is he? He also challenged them concerning immoral sex acts such as homosexuality (Romans 1) and this included the political viewpoints of the leaders of these countries. Today in America this same issue is being fought by the opposing political forces that be. The Democrats are pushing for same sex marriage and the right to kill innocent babies and the Republicans are against this and allowing homosexuals the right to adopt children. For example: Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. The apostle didn’t mince words with these leaders as the text above suggest. In other words, unlike many of us Christians today they put faith on their legs and took it to them. The frustration of these political and spiritual leaders (notice the text says rulers) grew so bad they accused Paul of Acts 17:6 and when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also. This is but one example of the role of the Christian in society today to challenge the political establishment when they go astray of righteous living as given by God’s word. The question that begs an answer is why should Christians engage themselves in the politics of the day? The answer to a good conscience is this we what we are really waging warfare against Ephesians 6:12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places and this includes men that rule over the lives of people. It was men Jesus and the apostles fought against that were under the influence of the imps of Satan. Is it not true the issue of homosexuality being challenged by the church is now being fought in the political landscape which includes the courts? If Christians were not opposed to this abomination there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Our society has become so secular minded through deceit there wouldn’t be enough opposition to withstand these wilds of the devil. Like it or not as long as a person/persons stand against immorality a political solution will inevitably follow. The answer to a good conscience is for all Christians to reach the unity of the spirit as we are admonished to do on these immoral issues and tear down the strongholds of these rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. If we do this then the battle becomes the Lords. Thus saith the LORD unto you, be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. Of course the main prerequisite is for Christians is to first examine themselves to see if they are of the faith. Second, do all of the above as laid out in Ephesians the sixth chapter and throw in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 for good measure and we will have assured victory. So as you can see from the above this idea that Christians should not engage themselves in politics is pure hogwash. Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that thou may be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. But I would have you to know O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Prayer from a sincere repentant heart will produce fruit. We are to as the scripture admonishes us to James 5:16 confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much and Romans 8:31 what shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? We must avoid; Matthew 15:7-19 you hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, this people draw nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand; it is not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, do you know that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Hebrews 4:12 for the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Because as I have already pointed out the battle we are fighting is against the principalities and powers of the air or on high, which makes it spiritual makes it impossible to separate the spiritual from the political. Let me say that again, it is impossible to be pleasing to God to attempt to separate the spiritual from the political. They are inevitably intertwined and as the last book of the bible teaches us the spiritual (false prophet) and political will have such a negative effect on human beings with the anti-Christ and the false church leadership joining forces and it will only be by God’s intervention that it be righted. I for one do not want the Lord to look upon me and say Isaiah 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. So with this thought in mind I think it is fairly safe to assume the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of moral crisis do nothing and many Republicans can count themselves dealt in. Ben Franklin "I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did." The apostle James confirms this reasoning with James 2:18 yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Even our first president George Washington knew better when he made the statement; "Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics." Benjamin Franklin said, "Whoever will introduce into public affairs (both social and political) the principles of Christianity will change the face of the world." This statement seems to contradict today’s version of separation and church doesn’t it?
I leave you with this thought: George Washington: Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. Either we live by our principles or we don't have any principles. Conservatives today are letting liberals define them. They are defined by what they are against, more than what they are for. I'm for constitutionally limited government. I'm for freedom, which includes individual rights. I'm for self-government and the rights of Americans to own property, guns or anything else they want to own. I'm for personal responsibility and accountability to God. How about you?
