Living In/With Fear!

 

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1933, sage advice from one of the leading proponents of the Democratic Party. Why the mass hysteria and fear in the Democratic Party? You say what fear, what hysteria?  Take a close look at the agenda of the Democratic Party now in power. Why would there be a need to pass legislation that implements a federal “hate crimes” plan? H.R. 1913 focuses on stopping certain agendas not in agreement with the Socialist/Fascist Left now in power. This legislation will be target specific. This legislation will be directed to anyone that speaks or writes about homosexuality in a negative way that would condemn the practice called “abomination” in Leviticus 18:22 and “reprobate mind” in Romans 1:27-28. The plain truth of this matter is the homosexual community just doesn’t want to hear this type of condemning dialog.   They do not want to be told that their behavior is evil and unacceptable.   So they will do everything possible to avoid the label and stigma of their inordinate lifestyle.

In seeking extra protection the homosexual seeks to forestall eradication or persecution. The homosexual community has tried everything to make their abhorrent lifestyle acceptable to the human race. They had the APA change their definition and designation. They had the stigmatizing term GRID (Gay-related immune deficiency) changed to a more acceptable acronym AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome).  This illusion was to avoid any direct connection of origin concerning this terrible disease that infected homosexuals. They also had the laws changed regarding the illegality of sodomy and now because of the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court Lawrence v. Texas decision this behavior was taken into the legal forced compliance arena that now affords them (homosexuals) safety when they conduct their sexual liaisons.  Systematically the forced changes have degraded and denigrated the institution of marriage between one man and one woman. And all of this is because they fear being eradicated for their behavior. If according to them that this is acceptable behavior why all of the deceit and treacherous activity to protect themselves? They are living in and with fear, and well they should be! If history is any reference/indicator to this behavior, they will be wiped out in due time.

Another fear of the Socialist Fascist Left is an overthrow of their government. They want to stop the freedom of speech of Ministers and Talk Show Hosts that speak in opposition to their agenda. So, now they want to censor talk radio and this will include religious preachers that speak the real truth concerning plans for their totalitarian regime. This agenda is no different than Rome, Germany, and now the United States and eventually all countries of the world that will be brought under their governmental power. First they must shut up the opposition so they will implement media censorship that will include radio, newspapers, Internet news and blog sites et al. The First Amendment rights will be reinterpreted to mean other things such as the yelling of fire in a theatre will now be applied abstractly instead of literally. It will acquire a new intension that now means something entirely different. Instead of yelling fire (in a theatre) the new interpretation will be any oral presentation (s) that contain their idea of what hate speech now is, will be unacceptable. Well…sort of, because, the First Amendment has already been stretched to cover indecorous practices already. How can we interpret free speech as allowing the possession and viewing of pornography, nude art, and scatological presentations? Anyway, this is another fear that the left of the sane line lives with.

Another problem for true patriotic Americans will be the forced compliance of their gun law legislation. Perhaps they will create another crisis such as 911 to implement a gun seizure plan. This is not new in governments that will do anything to stay in power. Hitler used the same tactic and method to reduce or eliminate the possibility of being overthrown.  "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. 

You think this can’t happen, well you are sadly mistaken. Remember it was University intelligence and intelligent people that supported Hitler. Big business supported and financed Hitler. Propaganda was used for Hitler’s position acceleration and establishment. Propaganda was used against Hitler’s enemies. This current administration is engaging in a constant propaganda diatribe. So, in all actuality, there is nothing new under the sun. And, they are promulgating once again the Fascist/Socialist agenda of Hitler’s bygone and dead era!

Another JANET??? Another Waco?

 

Well, America must suffer under another Janet, as if Janet Reno wasn’t enough! It would appear that the left of the sane line such as socialists, fascists, and liberals in general, are targeting anything to the right of the sane line. One needs to remember just who and what these people represent.   Fascists were in vogue during the early part of the twentieth century. Two despot leaders that rose during this era with socialistic and fascist agendas were Hitler and Mussolini.  Similarly, Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said:

“The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.” (Barkai 1990, pp. 26–27) Mussolini distinguished fascism from liberal capitalism in his 1928 autobiography:

“The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity. The Fascist State with its corporative conception puts men and their possibilities into productive work and interprets for them the duties they have to fulfill.” (p. 280) So, where is America now headed? The socialists and fascists are now in power and the two shall become as one for the good of their cause and party. However, there are some inconvenient stumbling blocks that these left of the sane line must overcome. One is to gain control and remotion of all guns either by complete eradication and seizure or, have them locked up for use on specific occasions like hunting or target shooting, can we say  England’s gun control methods here?  By creating a quasi need for gun control (euphemism for complete seizure) the socialist/fascist party now in power will create the opportunity for this occurrence. Think Hitler here and here is a reminder of how that went down during his reign.

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. 

Janet Napolitano’s mindless diatribe concerning “Extremists” is only a portend for what lies ahead. When you verbally indict our military veterans current or past, and then stigmatize them with the extremist’s appellative/appellation, you are labeling them in the same way the Hitler did during his lunatic tenure as leader of Germany. Why is Napolitano concerned over the military aspect and labeling them as extremists? No rocket science needed here to answer that one. She is acting on behalf of the scared and threatened party she now is goose stepping to/for. Their problem (socialists/fascists) is getting into power and then keeping that power no matter what. They are afraid that their regime will be toppled and who better than trained military personnel to accomplish something like that? Hitler worried about being overthrown as aforementioned in his own words. 

It appears that Napolitano is putting into effect the agenda of the less than sane liberal left. What distraction will she create to impose their absolute control agendas? Will she find another Waco to burn to the ground? Will she invade the homes of private citizens and seize their guns? What about militia groups that she perceives as a threat, how will she justify her aggressive “extremist” delusions about them really wanting to take over America so we just had to stop them? Or…will she actually have the government agencies blow up another Murrah Building after she orders some “extremist” stronghold burnt to the ground just like the other Janet (Reno) did at Waco, Texas? It appears that the name Janet has a common mental denominator here. And for America and its’ people that is not good! Personally, they should get Janet Napolitano out of this office before she sets America on fire, not only with words but with Gestapo orchestrated manifestations.   Maybe she will even have the audacity to attack Chuck Norris and label him as an “extremist,” want to wish well on that one Janet!

Ordinances Forgotten…or; Ignored?

 

”Let every soul be subject to higher authorities, for there is no authority except from Elohim, but the existing authorities have been ordained by Yahweh. So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of Yahweh, and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves.” Romans 13:1-2

Why is it that supposed (quasi) Bible believing individuals really do not understand or even know what they believe or from whence comes their beliefs. Most will say that they believe what the Bible teaches, however, this is not always the case. Since President Obama was elected to the office of Presidency there has been a concerted movement to have him removed via lawsuits and or by fiat when the case arises to SCOTUS, if possible.  Now…if you truly believe what the Bible teaches how do leaders become such…by the will of men or by the decree of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe? “But Yahweh is the judge; He puts down one and sets up another.” Psalm 75:7.   So, how does this fit in the scheme of things concerning rulers of the countries of the world? Depending on what you believe concerning the selection and ordination of rulers is how you will react to any leader in any position.

One element that is sorely lacking is respect for the chosen leaders of the assorted countries in this current world and system of things. If you truly believe the Bible could you lift up your hand against Yahweh’s anointed? Meaning the one that He sets up to be the ruler of any given country at any time in history past, and present. My point is this! In all good conscience can one actually say they believe what the Bible teaches and treat rulers with disdain and disrespect? It comes to this…if you say you believe in the Bible’s teachings and you challenge, disparage, and maltreat the one that is elected to the office of the President of the United States, you are a lying hypocrite. One of the major…main reasons that I personally despise John McCain is because of the disrespect that he openly showed the past President George Bush. McCain is a supposed military man supposedly serving this country and vows/displays allegiance to America and the high office of the President…but does he? No, absolutely not! He revealed his true colors when he displayed a total attitude of disrespect to then President Bush.   And…President Bush was the Commander in Chief of the military! What does that say about the true morals and beliefs of John McCain? Plenty! Ever wonder why some leaders just go cuckoo? Read the following passage.

“And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be fed with the grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He gives it to whomever He desires.” Daniel 4:32  This leader in Daniel’s era was sent away to become as a beast without reason. From the office of King to the pastures of a beast, and an animal’s mind all because he failed to remember who does what in this earth. The resolution is in this, And at the end of days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to Heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His rule is from generation to generation.” Daniel 4:34 Yes, his understanding returned when he acknowledged the source of all powers whether that be in the Heaven’s above or on earth beneath.

Now I ask you, Farah, Keyes et al, do you really think you are doing the right thing in challenging the President’s elected position? I mean from the standpoint that you both (or so you say) believe what the Bible teaches? I will caution all of you to be very careful what you do with this man. How do you know if this man falls into the following or not? Romans 9:17 “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very thing I raised you up, so that I might display My power in you, and so that My name might be publicized in all the earth." (Ex. 9:16) If this man is one of the final leaders on this earth…you do believe that the Kingdom is soon to come don’t you? How then can you in all good conscience challenge (ATTACK) the President under the guise of ineligible by constitutional requirements. Where in Heaven’s Name were the Congress, the Senate, America when this man should have been vetted prior to even entering the race for President? I would if I were you rethink your entire position on this because you are going to find yourself in opposition to the true Kingmaker…Yahweh!

I will leave you with one more thought…one more warning from scripture…the words of Zechariah 12:3 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.” Every person that has tried to bring about the division of Jerusalem and who wants to controvert the Jewish people’s rights have failed because eventually they are taken to task as this passage says. Hillary Clinton will find herself on the wrong side of this Palestinian foolishness she is now perpetrating. In opposing the Jewish state by calling for a Palestinian statehood she is in effect siding with those who want Israel’s demise. And do you believe in Jerusalem…Israel and the punishment you will receive if you try to harm these people?

Trivial Matters!

 

The press and talk show hosts centered on the right or conservative wing of this country are focusing on trivial matters.   While this country is being scrapped/buried by those who function behind the scene…those who function in darkness…those who actually control the world. Trivial matters and trivial pursuits are given to blind journalists and blind talk show hosts. Matters of consequence are irrelevant because these media institutions continue to be caught up in petty grievances of personal derivation.  During the last election cycle an example of this could be seen with one of the more bombastic talk show hosts doing very little to ensure the GOP fielding the right candidate for the office of Presidency! Instead of upbraiding the GOP for selecting McCain, he basically retreated and accepted the matter and the rest is history. This talk show host et al should have used their audio media pulpit in bully fashion. They should have decried the GOP choice and made enough noise and concern to affect a change in candidacy. Again, this was relegated to the trivial matters area and almost all of these talk show hosts became less vocal (some became silent) and just fell in line with the rest of the GOP losers.

Now we can also see a dilemma in the coming evangelical collapse (http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0310/p09s01-coop.html). One of the major news providers on the Internet… World Net Daily… prides themselves on their Christian values. However, where are they on some of the more salient viable issues such as raising absolute hell about the stem cell decision made by the Obama administration?   Why are issues that affect this entire nation relegated to the trivial pursuit file while nonsense such as Obama’s qualification to be President is incessantly expounded on? This has now become a shutting the door when the horse is already out of the barn. This matter should have been vetted prior to Obama’s presidential quest, shouldn’t it? If there were questions concerning his eligibility to seek the office of President, why were they not interrogated prior to the process? Should not this matter be resolved prior and not post election? And, subsequently, why was this not an issue when Barrack Obama ran against Hillary Clinton? Do you mean to tell me that Hillary as bad as she wanted that office did not know and use this against Obama? Let’s not forget who the current perpetrators of the dirty tricks squad really are and from whence they originate!   The Clinton’s are masters at subterfuge and Saul Alinsky tactics for defaming and sullying anyone’s reputation if they so choose. One cannot believe that opportunity escaped the Clinton’s!

The quasi Evangelicals are basically cowards that do not want to rock the boat because they may lose their precious tax-exempt status…Section 501(c) (3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. If they lose their source of free unearned monies what will they do…? This brings to mind the true Savior’s words…” No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or he will cling to one, and he will despise the other. You are unable to serve Yahweh and mammon (money).  And being lovers of money, the Pharisees (Teachers/Ministers/Evangelicals) also heard all these things; and they derided Him.  And He said to them, you are those justifying yourselves before men, but Elohim knows your hearts; for the thing highly prized among men is a hateful thing before Yahweh.” Luke 16:14-15

So now there is a dilemma amongst the Evangelicals…cry out against sin as the Bible directs and lose their free money sources. Or; cry out against the abominations of this time such as stem cell research, abortion, unorthodox marriage relationships, and every evil work that stands in opposition to what the Bible really teaches!  This also applies to those quasi religious based (so they say or want you to believe) Internet news sites. What are the real priorities of our time…President Obama’s qualifications to be president constitutionally? Or are there weightier matters that press us as a nation and people. There are conscionable choices that should and must be made. Are trivial matters and trivial pursuits of any consequence in the overall scheme of the current events that threaten to destroy our nation?  The priorities must be realized and they must be interrogated for veracity and necessary attention.

Right now our nation is being turned into a Socialist country and it would not matter who was the president. If Hillary would have been elected the outcome would be the same. If a moderate Republican were elected…the outcome would be the same. Capitalism is a failure because they forgot who brought them to their positions of wealth. They have exploited the masses for their capital gains and forgot the workers who made them what they are. The exploitation was continued in third world and unmechanized nations such as China in bygone days. China was backward so the USA capitalists brought them up to date and used them for their own personal gain, again exploitation. And now they have no voice in the oval office and instead of trying to change and help the workers they took advantage of, they are now going to the government trough with their hands out begging for our tax money. What a mess we are in and all the while trivial matters take precedent over matters of national emergency. So, you talk show hosts keep ringing that vacuous bell of redundancy. And you writers/publishers keep on harping on matters that are insignificant to anyone but you while America is being destroyed within because the real matters are not brought forth as important, only the little things that personally annoy you are posited.  All priorities concerning the aforementioned should be reconsidered…as America needs real men and women to sound the cry of truth of what matters are really important, not the redundant trivial matters.

Should We Just Do Nothing?

The new President just manoeuvered and signed into effect a massive package that will affect us all. Was this the right thing to do? We have seen America, along with other countries, under great financial duress. Also, the jobs that Americans once occupied have been taken to other countries such as Mexico, China, and Asia et al. Whether you agree or disagree, something had to be done. Notwithstanding, the opposition party has no immediate answers or solutions forthcoming to date. The GOP pushes (forces) Capitalism coupled with tax reductions specifically designed to benefit the wealthy as their redemptive agenda for the current dilemma. The capital gains tax is always at the forefront of the quasi tax reductions sought after and virtually begged for by the capitalists. However, in the midst of this current economic crisis I personally have yet to hear or read about an alternative to the Democratic Party’s proposal. In other words what would be the GOP’s plan and course of action for America’s economic crisis? First, I want to make one thing clear before proceeding any farther, I am not in favor of the Democrats massive bail-out program. However, I would like to see (or hear) a viable proposal that would address the issues we as Americans now face! Is Capitalism the answer to our current quandary/predicament? What is capitalism?

cap•i•tal•ism [ káppit'l ìzz

Definition:


Free-market system: an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit.
(http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary)


Okay, if we use this definition as a reference, we will ascertain that capitalism is a system controlled by those who own the means of production and the goods distributed by these means. However, the question is; who makes these goods and how are they initially produced? If we take for instance an example of farming and the resultant ends of producing marketable products such as produce, we insert into the capitalism equation, workers. The quasi private ownership of factories companies’ et al that produces and distributes these goods relies on labor to capitalize on or, draw advantage from the efforts of these compensated workers. But, the compensation can be brought into question and often becomes exploitive in nature by under compensating these workers. The problem as I see it with Capitalism is exploitation! It appears that capitalism in order to compensate these owners of factories, businesses (large) and any means of profit realization will do anything to enlarge their bottom (or profit) line! And, that means they will go to any foreign country to accomplish this avaricious goal! Am I against making money? No! However, I am against how this money sometimes is made!

What is troubling with capitalism is exploitation, victimizing America’s people for their own gain and comfort. When capitalists acquire our goods, goods that were produced in America by American labor, and then ship these same goods to another country such as China, and then use the CHEAP labor of the Chinese people to turn these same goods into a marketable product that is then re-shipped back to America, and then sold back to our own people, that is exploitation and perfidiousness of unconscionable dimension! We buy back our own goods at a large profit for the so-called capitalist enterprise system of supply and demand! Allow me to elucidate! If these same goods/products are produced in America and then taken to our own factories, the workers will receive compensation for their work effort. For examples sake we will use the $15.00 per hour as a reference. If the worker receives this wage times 40 hours for the average work week, they will have earned $600.00 before taxes. And if this same worker has a benefits package coupled with this wage allocation, this benefit package will naturally increase the workers compensation. Now, if these same goods are shipped to another country where the worker(s) only receive slave wages such as $2.00 per day as a reference, we can see gross exploitation by comparison. The foreign worker will receive $10.00 per week with no benefit package at all! The cost of shipping the goods and returning them to America to be re-sold to us is cost effective to the capitalist enterprise or it would not even be considered by them!

So, if we incorporate (pun intended) this into today’s financial dilemma we have a real problem. The price of goods and services in America has reached disproportionate levels. Houses are priced beyond value, and wages are also not balanced with America’s pricing demands. Some receive inordinate wages for doing nothing while the laborer who mows their lawns and nannies their children get virtually nothing in return compensation for their labor. All the while the cost of living increases but wages are not commensurate with the cost increases. So, where do we go from here and who has the solution to this disparate system of pecuniary resources? One of the major problems is debt and interest on these debts. A seven year cycle was integrated into the Torah Law for a good and specific purpose. This cycle teaches the forgiveness of debt every seven years. What this also teaches is how to live within a certain financial confine. You learn to live within your means! Forgiveness of debt is the only solution for today’s financial crisis/dilemma! All debts must be eradicated and a fresh start given. Then the seven year cycle must be implemented. Teaching people to live within their budgets must be taught as economics 101 in schools so children can learn financial responsibility at an early age. This current crushing system will collapse the entire world if debt relief is not integrated into the financial equation as a solution, mark my words!

I Have…Had a Dream Too…But You Destroyed it!

 

Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream for the people, that everyone would be equal in the eyes of the Most High! The day that he dreamed about came true this past Presidential cycle. However, it remains to be seen if this is a true Dr. King dream or; a nightmare in the making!   I am referencing the new president Barack Obama with this thought. What he will do for or against the American dream is yet to be determined. We all want the best for our country and the good citizens therein, don’t we? The American dream contains success for diligent people willing to work hard for it but, is this dream realistic today? Can we work hard and have our own home, our own car? What about a retirement account free from scams, banking vandalism, and covert schemes? Can I retire and be free from debt because everything is paid for? Or; is this no longer possible? Have the dreams that one holds for their life and family now become unobtainable? Have they destroyed our dreams because of their (some people’s) avarice and insatiable desire for amassing great wealth at other people’s expense? 

Today the housing has been inflated beyond true value wherein no average person can conceivably afford one. The automobile market is about the same…who can afford an automobile at current prices. And, after a brief period the vehicle is no longer worth its initial value or asking price.  Everything goes up in price, but not wages. Workers are either making too much say some or very little say most. Minimum wages are not capable of sustaining a household of two adults and two children. And any dream (s) that the minimum wage earner might have is impossible to achieve.  Why is there such disparity and class division/distinction in America? It there a glass ceiling that cannot be penetrated by the hard working masses of America? Is there a restricted level that someone cannot arise above? Today I believe there is a stopping point for most sans any extended education such as a college degree, or; personal access to inordinate amounts of wealth.

What could be the long term solution for this discrimination against the working class people? Could the housing market create affordable homes? Could the car manufacturers build good yet inexpensive cars? Could the minimum wage be raised to the actual living standard that balances between accounts receivable (wages) and accounts payable/expendable (debts)? Yes, all of this is possible if the quasi establishment wants it to be so! I am not saying that Americans should be forced into shacks and the people’s car as per Germany during the WW2 era. How much of a house does the standard American family actually need? It appears that a four bedroom two bath home would be sufficient for most families in America today. Gone for the most part (sans illegal immigrants) are large families.

The average home size is another factor to consider. From 900-1200(60’s-80’s) square feet to over 2400 square feet today, the home size has accelerated in size. If the average family is 4 or even 5 per household, how much room does one family actually need? If you have ever spent any time in a third-world country you would simply be amazed at how little space in land and housing is available to them. The houses are small 3-4 rooms and the land is big enough to plant a small garden with some chickens-perhaps! So let’s look at necessity pricewise and repayment possibilities on a home loan. The median price of homes in December 2008 was around $242,000.00. So, loosely calculated the monthly mortgage payment could/would be around $1,800.00 all things included such as taxes, insurance etc. Now let’s extend that times 12 months, and this equals $21,000.00. Using mid-2009 minimum wage projections of $7.25 with some (a few) states having a slightly higher rate from $8.00 to $8.55 per hour rate, we arrive at approx. $15,060.00 based on 40 hours per week labor, and $18,850.00  at 50 hours per week. Now let’s factor in wages versus expenses, starting with mortgage payments.

At $1,800.00 (approx.) times 12 months for yearly house payment demand, the total comes to $21,000.00. We can end it right there, for to proceed any further is an exercise in futility. Wages based on 50 hours per week time 52 weeks equals $18,850.00 and house mortgage payments for one year are $21,000.00 leaving the average wage earner MINUS -$2,150.00. Now this figure does not include anything else and it is based on the average home value and the minimum wage today in America. Now do you see what I am saying that the American dream realistically is no longer attainable? The average or median wage as of August 2008 was $50,233.00.  Now we can take this figure and factor in car payments (usually times two per household) mortgage payment, utilities, food, transportation costs and several day to day necessary living expenses and still see a problem. More on this later…Can we still achieve the American dream or has that dream become shattered/destroyed by the avariciousness of several unscrupulous companies and the owners thereof..?

IS IT SOCIALISM NOW?

 

With the elections now history, one can only wonder what course will be taken.  People were dissatisfied with the current administration, so they opted for change.  But..?  Will the change be a positive, or will it be a negative for America and the world?  The party now coming into power, will be one you just might not like.  I just don't think the voting majority in true reality; know what they have actually done, all things considered.   

And old adage comes to mind, "be careful what you pray for, you just might get it."  With the attitude of change and betrayal you might think of Stephen's words in the book of Acts:  "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon Yahweh, and saying, Sovereign Yahshua, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Yahweh; charge them not with this transgression. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."   Acts 7:59-60

Perhaps the people stoned the Republican Party?   Perhaps they also do not know what they were doing either?  The price will be high for this action.  Putting the Republicans in the Minority could bring catastrophic results, if history is any indicator.  However, the loss incurred by the GOP was self-inflicted. If they were more selective on their candidacy and selection thereof, the election might have gone in their favor instead of against. Running John McCain (John McCooCoo, John McCrazy) was not a wise choice as is now evidenced. The party now in charge is comprised of many Socialists/Communists believers and inclinationists, because in all reality; there is no difference between either.  In times past you could tell the difference, but; with the socialistic infiltration of the Democratic Party, and now the GOP also, the change is or will be obvious.  

Few people remember the agenda employed by active abortion on demand proponents or the relentless pressure to promulgate the homosexual agenda either.  They wanted to make the Republican Party change their ideas on both of these issues, so; they infiltrated the Republican Party and the rest is historically apparent.  This agenda driven infiltration, occurred during the 1980's. The liberal moderate agenda pursued by many Republicans today, has certainly cast a shadow of doubt on their ability to govern. And so it was taken away from them. There is no real or actual Republican Party. The GOP has dissolved into a moderate mass of nothing, and is being led by liberal minded fools! And the consequences of that can be seen with blind eyes!

Now enter the Democratic Party!  What used to be their ideology and party agenda, has been compromised by the infiltration of Communist leaning (and practicing) personnel.  The Democratic Party as America once knew it, is ancient history.  With the socialist leanings of this party, one can only wonder when the pictures of Stalin, Lenin, or Karl Marx will make their appearance.  Time will tell. Remember that Saul Alinsky was one of Hillary (the Secretary of State now) Clinton’s mentors. And Alinsky was an unabashed Communist/Socialist who never apologized for his practices and beliefs.   It will be interesting to see who comes out of the closet now that the Democrats have the Presidency, the Senate, and the Congress. Because of this power consolidation that is now unchecked, we could be in some serious scat!

What really troubles me is the Liberal/Socialist/Communist agenda and standing on the abortion issue. Any country that murders its’ unborn or young is just asking for trouble and fire from Heaven. Also, the “Don’t ask don’t tell” Military issue and problem (for them) is really inconsequential; all things considered. The homosexual population overall is of relative insignificance because their actual numbers are vastly over-stated. However, when you have these types in high positions (think Barney Frank here) their voice becomes much louder.   They don’t want you to impose the straight heterosexual lifestyle on them! However, they force theirs on us by their constant demands; demands to be recognized and enjoy the same rights that were endowed by a wise Creator upon people who believe the sanctity of marriage should only be enjoyed by a man and woman coming together in conjugation!

President Obama is in a unique place in history. He appears at a time of crisis. He touts Abraham Lincoln as one of his childhood idols. However, if he is going to model himself after President Lincoln, well and good. President Lincoln was an honorable man who laid his life on the line believing that no man should be a slave, and that all men were created equal. But know this President Obama, President Abraham Lincoln was no Socialist! President Lincoln was no abortionist! And President Lincoln was no sodomite, and I most seriously doubt that he would endorse gay rights and activities. So, President Obama, if you are going to model/pattern yourself after this great man, then you should do what he would have done. And in doing this Mr. President, you too could lose your life also!   Perhaps just like him in your second term, déjà vu? Good people lay down their lives for what is right, and they never, ever, capitulate! There is a reason for you and this time! There is a reason for your adoration of President Lincoln, and now President Obama it is time for you to return this country to its greatness. Refuse the socialist agenda and its doomed governance! Rule this country as would President Abraham Lincoln!

Balancing the Budget and Cutting Costs!

 

With the disintegration of America’s financial resources, the governments state and federal must find ways to cut costs. The employment rate is around 7.2% and rising, while the current population of America stands at approximately (according to US Census Bureau Population Clock) 305,576,445. And, the World population is 6,752,489,013; and this figure is approaching seven billion people on planet earth. What can be understood by these statistical dynamics? First, the employment rate is almost 93%, and that is a good sign. The unemployment rate from 1929-1933 was 25%. However, the population during that era was around 122 million and Herbert Clark Hoover was President. By contrast the 1900 population census numbered only 76 million people.  And now the US has increased over four times since the 1900 census. So, what is the answer to reducing the operating costs at every level? The answer may not be palatable because some of the cost cutting measures may be considered too Draconian.

The first thing that must be done is to forgive the debt burden of every tax-paying citizen of the United States as long as they are legal citizens every seven years. The debt on anything of substantive value should not be financed beyond seven years. This means houses, cars, credit cards etc. How could anyone make payments that would be considered astronomical with reduced payment periods such as seven years you may be thinking? One thing of note; the houses, cars, along with other costly items, are grossly overpriced. This is now being seen in the housing “bubble” collapse. And, this will be seen in future goods devaluations. Right now there are many (thousands and thousands) new automobiles in dealership lots across America that is not being sold. What are the car manufacturers going to do with these and future models, let them just sit? The car prices along with most merchandise are grossly over-inflated, pricewise. Somehow the entire economy must be reduced to reasonable pricing, and that includes wages and benefit packages. But, will this happen? The financial control resides within a select elite circle of individuals worldwide. These financiers are recalcitrant obdurate mortals that reject the delineated precept, “At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent unto his neighbor” (Deuteronomy 15:1-2). And because of their continued refusal to release people from their debts every seven years, the financial institution (s) will ultimately completely crash. There will be nothing of value and that includes gold, silver and precious stones etc. This will be the worst time in the history of the world.

Another cost cutting measure is to reduce the current illegal immigrant population via deportations. If they are not legal; deport them! Oh, some might think that a massive legal immigration policy would be the adaptive measure to ensure that these illegal immigrants will not be deported. Is this the answer and or solution, no, emphatically no! And the why is easily explained with loss of jobs, low production of crops because of natural disasters that are increasing on a yearly basis. And that will leave masses of people without food and without jobs. So, a reduction of approximately 12 Million illegal immigrants would free up some of America’s resources such as jobs, health care, housing, welfare, and a plethora of other commodities and services received free by illegal immigrants that true Americans cannot even receive albeit native by birth and lineage. The illegal immigrants (each one) had a country of their own and decided to evacuate that country to come to America to receive what? A better life, a better education, a better health care system, better overall living conditions? Yes, but at what cost to America’s true people? Being perfectly honest brings one to hard decisions. America cannot support these illegal people and neither should they have too! America has implemented a system whereby immigrants can become legal. Any true American cannot be opposed to legal immigration, can they? One would hope not! However, the reality of it all must be considered!

It is going to be a sad moment in the history of America when the aforementioned illegal deportation takes place. And, this is not being said by yours truly here. No, a Higher Power has spoken concerning the future events of America and the world, but who will heed? I leave you with this prophecy to consider. “So I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of its place, in the wrath of Yahweh of Hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.    And it shall be as a gazelle driven away, and as a sheep no one gathers; each man shall look to his own people, and each one shall flee to his own land.  Everyone who is found shall be pierced through; yes, everyone who is swept away shall fall by the sword” (Isaiah 13:13-15 LITV). Yes, they shall flee to their own land, and if they are found they shall be pierced through. Consider; if the Military is sent to round up the illegal immigrants, what action would they take if necessary? And if the US Military cannot bring itself to follow directives, they will bring in soldiers from a foreign country (s) to accomplish the task. This prophecy will not remain unfulfilled!

Hatred and Envy Yields Libel and Slander!

"Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?" Proverbs 27:4

Why are some people filled with hatred and envy?  It seems that anyone who would become successful in life becomes a target of failures and ne’er-do-wells. In order to bring you down to their levels many hateful individuals will resort to any manoeuver including propaganda, libel, slander, and outright lies.  The terms for these evil overtures are, libel if printed, and slander if spoken.  Warren Buffet says it takes twenty years to build a good reputation and only five minutes to destroy it.  In this modern day of internet obfuscation and pseudo names, libelous statements can be posted with seeming impunity! Or; is this true?  No; because eventually these hateful envious people can be caught and prosecuted.  There is a line in the First Amendment to the Constitution that cannot be crossed.  Not everything said or published is protected under the free speech clause.  What is hatred and what kind of person(s) publish hateful libelous statements or make slanderous statements.  First, these kinds of people are considered to be low rent in stature, mostly losers and failures.  Maybe a definition would help to explain hatred and the mental state of hateful people?

 

1. "Hatred is clearly and most obviously an emotion, an intense emotion, that is, a passion. To better understand hatred, it is helpful to have some sophisticated understanding of human emotions—the irrational underpinnings of human behavior and the darker side of the human spirit.

 

2. Hatred is more than an emotion. It is also a psychological condition; a disorder of perception; a form of quasi- delusional thinking. Therefore, to understand the condition of hatred, one must understand the nature of a delusion, a symptom of severe mental disease. One must examine the meaning of the paranoid shift that is central to the thinking of a hating individual and a culture of hatred. This examination will lead us into the somewhat bizarre world of symptom formation.

 

3. Finally, hatred requires an attachment. Like love, it needs an object. The choice of an object—also like love—may be rational or irrational. Obsessive hatred is by definition irrational. The choice of the victim is more often dictated by the unconscious needs and the personal history of the hater than by the nature, or even the actions, of the hated."

 

HATRED: The Psychological Descent into Violence

WILLARD GAYLIN, M.D. (2003)

 

Notice point number two.  Hatred is a form of "a severe mental disease."  And, it usually needs an object to focus that hatred on!  And if that is someone of any success or of high moral standards (above their own), they will try and destroy the object (person(s)) of their hatred.  And they will use low level subversive tactics to propagate their vitriolic slander. And, they will post libelous statements under pseudonyms on any low level website forum(s) they can find that will allow it!  One should never believe everything you hear or read!  In legal processes, evidences are presented to condemn or to exonerate anyone accused of a crime.  However, in the minds of people filled with hatred and envy, it doesn't matter!  It is how they see it that matters in their demented little world! Here is what Plutarch, On ‘Envy and Hate’ has to say.

"[1] Envy and hatred are passions so like each other that they are often taken for the same. And generally, vice has (as it were) many hooks, whereby it gives unto those passions that hang thereto many opportunities to be twisted and entangled with one another; for as differing diseases of the body agree in many like causes and effects, so do the disturbances of the mind. He who is in prosperity is equally an occasion of grief to the envious and to the malicious man; therefore we look upon benevolence, which is a willing our neighbor’s good, as an opposite to both envy and hatred, and fancy these two to be the same because they have a contrary purpose to that of love. But their resemblances make them not so much one as their unlikeness makes them distinct. Therefore we endeavor to describe each of them apart, beginning at the original of either passion.

[2] Hatred proceeds from an opinion that the person we hate is evil, if not generally so, at least in particular to us. For they who think themselves injured are apt to hate the author of their wrong; yea, even those who are reputed injurious or malicious to others than ourselves we usually nauseate and abhor. But envy has only one sort of object, the felicity of others. Whence it becomes infinite, and, like an evil or diseased eye, is offended with everything that is bright. On the other hand, hatred is always determined by the subject it adheres to." (Plutarch circa 45 - 125 C.E.) Priest of the Delphic Oracle.

Many criminal acts are perpetrated because of hate and envy, murder being one of the primary crimes committed. And it becomes even worse if the crime is pre-meditated! And hatred and envy can be expanded by demented individuals to commit this heinous act! Consider the following passage from the Bible whence the precedent for the pre-meditated murder concept originates. "And if a man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes his life from him, so that he dies, and flees to one of these cities, then the elders of his city shall send and bring from him there, and give him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you." Deuteronomy 19:11-13. And, you had better believe that some people are so filled with hatred that they would actually murder the object(s) of their hatred and envy should the opportunity present itself! And they lay in wait lurking on the internet forums expressing their hate and evil desires for innocent people! Thus, the hatred and envy concept/emotion when played out to the fullest evil extent can and will bring death! "For he knew they delivered Him up through envy." Matthew 27:18 And thus it was said of a man known as the Messiah! This is where envy and hatred ultimately leads.

Things You Cannot Change!

 

“Yahweh, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” There are those setting about to change decrees and rulers because they don’t like them. Who do you suppose sets the things in order in the expanse of this universe? Who do you suppose sets up the nations leaders? Do you really think that you as an individual human being actually set in place the leaders of this country called America? Do you really believe that your vote at the last Presidential election was what caused the next President of the United States to be elected and set up as America’s new ruler? Or; do you really know how these positions come about or are allocated?  “…until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will.” Daniel 4:32.

This was spoken by a Heavenly Angel to a ruler called Nebuchadnezzar. It appears that he became arrogant in his position and failed to acknowledge who was actually in control and where his position and power of that position was derived from. He needed a lesson in humility so, he was temporarily disposed of his position and driven away from mankind and became as one of the beasts of the field. After a period called seven times (seven years) he finally looked up, gave the glory and praise to the Most High, and his senses was restored and he was given back the kingdom that he once ruled. For many of us that is the truth and we believe that the Most High rules and controls the human race. However, there are those who do not believe this and think their power and position comes from their own efforts and they are the ones who set themselves into positions of leadership and authority.  “Rulers and nobles rule by me, and all the judges of the earth.” Proverbs 8:16

It appears that there is a concerted effort orchestrated by individuals that think they can change what has occurred in the last election cycle. Mostly, these are arrogant and ignorant people whining over the GOP losses. Whose fault is this? Did the GOP put the right candidate into the race? Would the GOP candidate this cycle be selected by the Most High as His choice for President? Well, the answer to this can be found in the results. Who is now the President Elect? There is a plan set in motion by the higher authority that cannot be changed by anyone in the human race at this time.   No matter how hard you try, His will cannot be altered! Consider time and circumstance that accompanied each Presidential selection from George Washington to Barack Obama.   Do you believe or understand why each man was selected in his time? Was President Abraham Lincoln selected for his time and the subsequent troubles that accompanied his tenure in office? How about President Truman, do you believe that he was chosen for a time and hour? How did WW2 end? Who was partly responsible for the Japanese surrender? 

I must assure you that all events from the beginning of this great country America have been controlled by a power beyond our understanding, our comprehension!  Every sequence of events during America’s existence has been guarded and controlled by decisions that kept everything on a predetermined course. No matter what anyone tries to do to change the course of America’s fate or direction in the coming events, they will fail. Here is a prophecy that reveals America’s part in the destruction of the descendants of Esau. “And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for straw. And they shall burn among them and consume them. And no survivor shall be to the house of Esau, for Yahweh has spoken.” Obadiah 1:18.  Is this a coincidence that America and Great Britain took the lead in the Arab crisis of this current war? The descendants of Esau will become a waste and desolation, burned by fire at the hand of the descendants of Jacob (the twelve tribes) and the house of Joseph, which are also known as America and Great Britain! Do you suppose you can change this? Do you suppose that you can select and install the correct leaders for this coming event? No, there is absolutely nothing that you or I can do to change anything of this order and nature.

And grant me the serenity to change the things that I can, and; the wisdom to know the difference!

Constitution 101

 

“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” Job 38:2

“He that gives answer before he hears, It is folly and shame unto him.” Proverbs 18:13

Many commentators today speak errantly and without knowledge. They report the matter as it suits their agenda or goal.  Recently, there has been a push on to try the veracity of President Elect Obama’s citizenship requirements. Obama taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School. From the University’s own press release the following applies.

“UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.” (http://www.law.uchicago.edu/media/index.html)

What I am saying is simply (and it must be kept simple) this, someone that taught Constitutional Law would most certainly know what the Constitution says, wouldn’t they? And knowing what it says in Article II Section 1 would they believe themselves to be qualified for the office of the President of the United States of America? What does this portion of the Constitution actually say? The part in question is stated simply (and for the people challenging this (Barack’s eligibility) it must be kept simple…real simple).

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;… Article II Section 1.

What does this actually say? “Except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States.” The part that keeps turning up missing is the “OR a citizen…” The focus and accent is on the “natural born” part by the (quasi) as it were educated challengers to Obama’s citizenship. Let us examine the facts, shall we? From the State Department’s Website on Citizenship the following applies, providing it becomes necessary!

“Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship By a Child Born Abroad:

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.” (http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html).

Now let’s follow the timeline of Barack’s mother.

Born:

Stanley Ann Dunham

November 29, 1942

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, US

Moved to Hawaii:

1960 (18 years of age)

Married:

February 2, 1961 to Barack Obama Sr.

Gave Birth in Hawaii:

August 4, 1961, (age 18) to Barack Obama II

All of the aforementioned occurred within the United States of America as Hawaii was a state since 1959. We will examine more timeline information for clarity’s sake.

Ann Dunham Timeline:

1942

November 29, 1942: Ann Dunham is born Stanley Dunham in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Her parents are Stanley Armour Dunham and Madelyn Dunham. Her father names his daughter Stanley after himself because he wanted a son. When she's 18, Stanley, who doesn't like her boyish name, starts introducing herself as Ann.

1956

Ann Dunham is 13. Her family moves to Mercer Island, Washington, so Ann can attend a new high school that has recently opened. Ann spends 8th grade through high school on Mercer Island. Ann is deeply influenced by two of her teachers: Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman. Foubert, English teacher, and Wichterman, philosophy teacher, encouraged their students to challenge authority and societal norms. The reading list provided by them included: Atlas Shrugged, 1984, and The Communist Manifesto. Parents on Mercer Island were outraged and tried to have Foubert and Wichterman fired. During high school years Ann Dunham states she is an atheist and that she is not interested in getting married or having children.

1960

Ann Dunham is 18. Her family moves to Honolulu, Hawaii. Ann begins classes at the University of Hawaii.

- She meets Barack Obama Sr. in a Russian-language class. Barack Obama Sr. is a foreign student from Kenya, who has a magnetic personality. Barack Obama Sr. is very opinionated, talkative and passionate. The two start dating.

- Ann tells her parents about her African boyfriend and they invite him for dinner.

1961

 February 2, 1961: Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. get married in Maui in a discreet ceremony. Nobody is invited. At the time of the wedding Ann is already three months pregnant with Barack Obama Jr.

August 4, 1961: Barack Obama Jr. is born. Ann is eighteen. She drops out of college after one semester in the University of Hawaii.

1962

 When Barack Obama Jr. is 1, his father, Barack Obama sr., leaves the family and goes to Harvard to pursue a Ph.D. in economics.

- When Barack Obama Jr. is almost 2, Ann returns to college. Her parents help take care of baby Barack. Money is tight.

- Ann meets Lolo Soetoro at the University of Hawaii. Lolo is a foreign student from Indonesia.

1964

 Ann files for divorce from Barack Obama Sr. and he signs the papers.

Again; all of this occurs while Barack Obama’s mother is a United States citizen dwelling within the United Sates for more than twenty (20) years! And, according to the State Department’s website this also satisfies the requirements if the child was born elsewhere, such as outside of the United States. Either way Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States of America by law and by birth. This at the minimum satisfies the OR factor of Article II Section 1 clause on qualifications for candidacy of the office of President. 

It remains to be seen what will happen or where it will end, but it seems to be an effort in vain as the challenge to Obama’s citizenship was tossed from several courts already including review by SCOTUS Justice David Souter. However, as sore losers go, they want their pound of flesh. The current charge and whining is led by Alan Keyes, Senate and Presidential contender and loser to both offices, and World Net Daily, another sore loser website. It’s not about Constitution or about Constitutional Law or they would have challenged some serious violations of the Constitution by the Bush Administration et al. It is personal against Obama! They have tried everything they could to discredit the man and his candidacy. They tried to use subversive propaganda by desperately attaching an appellative to him such as “he is a Muslim.” They tried to paint him as a Chicago thug and connected to questionable people and hard dirty politics; Chicago style. However, to date, it has failed to work. And, I do not think the latest attempt will either. So, what’s left? If everything else fails they will either have him assassinated or try to have him assassinated! Remember who these people are, and write their names into an investigative file as suspect in collaboration to murder in cold blood President Barack Obama. And that will make our job much easier because we know who you are, and where you live! It will not go down like the JFK assassination; we won’t stand for it this time! So, keep track of those involved in this (quasi) Constitutional challenge, and then place them on the suspect or person (s) of interest list! Remember, hatred and envy is powerful motivators.

- When Barack Obama Jr. is almost 2, Ann returns to college. Her parents help take care of baby Barack. Money is tight.

- Ann meets Lolo Soetoro at the University of Hawaii. Lolo is a foreign student from Indonesia.

1964

 Ann files for divorce from Barack Obama Sr. and he signs the papers.

Again; all of this occurs while Barack Obama’s mother is a United States citizen dwelling within the United Sates for more than twenty (20) years! And, according to the State Department’s website this also satisfies the requirements if the child was born elsewhere, such as outside of the United States. Either way Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States of America by law and by birth. This at the minimum satisfies the OR factor of Article II Section 1 clause on qualifications for candidacy of the office of President. 

It remains to be seen what will happen or where it will end, but it seems to be an effort in vain as the challenge to Obama’s citizenship was tossed from several courts already including review by SCOTUS Justice David Souter. However, as sore losers go, they want their pound of flesh. The current charge and whining is led by Alan Keyes, Senate and Presidential contender and loser to both offices, and World Net Daily, another sore loser website. It’s not about Constitution or about Constitutional Law or they would have challenged some serious violations of the Constitution by the Bush Administration et al. It is personal against Obama! They have tried everything they could to discredit the man and his candidacy. They tried to use subversive propaganda by desperately attaching an appellative to him such as “he is a Muslim.” They tried to paint him as a Chicago thug and connected to questionable people and hard dirty politics; Chicago style. However, to date, it has failed to work. And, I do not think the latest attempt will either. So, what’s left? If everything else fails they will either have him assassinated or try to have him assassinated! Remember who these people are, and write their names into an investigative file as suspect in collaboration to murder in cold blood President Barack Obama. And that will make our job much easier because we know who you are, and where you live! It will not go down like the JFK assassination; we won’t stand for it this time! So, keep track of those involved in this (quasi) Constitutional challenge, and then place them on the suspect or person (s) of interest list! Remember, hatred and envy is powerful motivators.

The GOP Failure: Part Two!

 

“Righteousness exalts a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34

So; where did the GOP go wrong? Actually; where did they go right? The GOP takes the moral high ground but yet they have several office holders during the past eight years (and beyond) that proved to be moral reprobates, and the last two candidates, McCain and Palin are no exceptions to the continued immorality that pervades the quasi moralistic GOP! Don’t exposit morals when members of your party are amoral! In review from part 1 we ended on the amorality of the GOP. So, what about the last two candidates fielded by the GOP for the office of President and Vice-President, what are they doing? Well, McCain is in therapy for his loss (the GOP does not handle losses very well either) and Palin is taking Fifth Grade classes to catch up and be better prepared should the GOP be stupid enough to knock on her door again! For crying out loud GOP she’s a (quasi) beauty queen, and comparatively speaking where does that take you intellectually? Duh! Remember Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton? And these two were compared (accurately?) during the election cycle! Need I say more?

Now, to get back to point as to the loss suffered by the GOP in the Presidential race, some Senate seat races et al. The classic example and criminal mentality of Alaska, can be found in defeated (finally!) Ted Stevens. Stevens although convicted of seven felonies was almost re-elected by Alaska voters. The percentages were Begich 47.76 percent and Stevens 46.58 percent. That dear people is only 1.18%! A very narrow margin! So, Alaska voters (46.58% anyway) are willing to overlook the criminality of Ted Stevens, and that says a lot about the mentality of Alaska citizens. This of course was confirmed by the academic exposure of their Governor, you betcha Sarah Palin!   I think the constituency in Alaska vote with their other head, not the one that sits on their shoulders either. So, this is a major obstacle for the GOP, crooks and convicted felon (s) in their party. Remember that McCain was/is an adulterer by confession and also a traitor on record. You want this for your party’s representation? This was/is another problem for the GOP. 

What about Mark Foley? Foley the U.S. Representative from Florida engaged in sexually-explicit SMS text-messaging with 17-YO males, former pages. Can the GOP justify and sustain such conduct and still be a viable political party? And of recent memory is that old foot tapping/touching Ex-Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig. Is this the kind of conduct that best exemplifies the GOP? Can the GOP regain their lost political ground with this in the party? Personally, I am so disgusted by the behavior of elected officials at every level in the GOP that I could not vote for them in the last election. And, I have been a staunch Republican all of my political life beginning at the age I could first vote, 21! I could not even hold my nose this election cycle and vote for the likes of McCain et al. I most certainly could not vote for the other party either. I do like President-Elect Obama, however, I cannot concur with some of his political policies or ideologies. His selections for Cabinet positions go beyond reason. How can he tout change while bringing back Clinton posers and wannabes? Do we need a second dose of the Clinton travesty? I think not!    I will have more to say next time!

The GOP Failure: Part One!

“Righteousness exalts a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34

Well, the dust has settled in the Presidential Election 2008? And, not everyone is happy with the results. President Elect Obama could prove to be a surprise in spite of his stereotyping by the also-ran GOP and its’ stagnant candidates. Perhaps Obama will be a cross between President Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King with the best of each one residing within. One can only hope! Some of the early assessments have revealed a pragmatic individual with great discipline. These are not bad qualities, and not usually found in any true liberal. President Elect Obama is also considered to be highly intelligent, as is his wife. Both of these individuals are Law School graduates but neither was born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth with everything handed to them. Their lessons in life were hard, but remembered. As aforementioned, he (they) may surprise everyone and actually do a very good job considering the financial mess they inherited from the GOP et al. “First of all, then, I urge you to offer petitions, prayers, intercessions, and expressions of thanks for all people, for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all holiness and dignity.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Just where did the GOP fail? On several fronts the answers can be found to this question, the first being a broad and blatant deviation from the proven agenda of President Ronald W. Reagan. President Reagan basically reformatted the GOP into proven workable governance. His rule and correct political guidance if followed by succeeding GOP candidates would have insured GOP domination for generations to come. However, it was not too long afterward that President Reagan’s teachings and work was undone by his own chosen successor, George Bush forty-one. Bush forty-one did the unthinkable as per the Reagan formula for continued success; he raised taxes after promising not to do so! And he then lost the next election cycle to a Democrat candidate. However, the GOP continued to make serious mistakes in their politics and ideals for rulership as per the Newt Gingrich Congressional revolution of 1994, the “Contract with America.”

Under the leadership of Gingrich the campaign was run on ideas and values such as tax cuts, a bigger military, tough on crime and welfare. This campaign gained the GOP fifty-four seats to take control of Congress, ending forty years of Democratic rule. However, according to the Cook Political Report, this really wasn't quite as influential as the Republicans like to say it is. But these noble aspirations only went so far under the leadership of Newt Gingrich, why? It is said great men have feet of clay and Gingrich is no exception. “Gingrich, who ran for Congress in 1978 on the slogan, "Let Our Family Represent Your Family." (He was reportedly cheating on his first wife at the time). In 1995, an alleged mistress from that period, Anne Manning, told Vanity Fair's Gail Sheehy: "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" Gingrich obtained his first divorce in 1981, after forcing his wife, who had helped put him through graduate school, to haggle over the terms while in the hospital, as she recovered from uterine cancer surgery” (washingtonmonthly.com, 2006). “He that commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He that does it would destroy his own soul. Wounds and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.” Proverbs 6:32-33.

Well the media can always be blamed for the GOP’s failure, can’t they? Another reality check on the recent election came from well respected Fox News reporter Shepherd Smith. “Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, host of the highest-rated evening newscast on cable television, calls suggestions of a bias toward Barack Obama by the mainstream media "preposterous." His sentiment was aired out during a roundtable discussion on his network's "Strategy Room" program. During the discussion, comedian Nick DiPaolo said, "The mainstream media being so in the tank for Obama ...." "Oh, please. That's preposterous," interrupted Smith. "The mainstream media reflected what was happening in this nation. It did not drive it. The blogs didn't drive this movement. The media did not drive this movement. Barack Obama did not lose this election. It was his to lose. It was not John McCain's to win.

"The Republicans had no shot unless the Democrats gave it to them, and they didn't. And to blame the media is a copout and ridiculous. We are always here to be blamed for people like you who enjoy that activity. We always will be. When the Democrats lost last time, it was our fault. When the Republicans lost this time, it's our fault. It's not. The nation was changing. Barack Obama did not lose, therefore John McCain did, and that's it." DiPaolo responded, "The major media has been liberal since its inception. It's years and years of pounding." "How did George Bush win twice?" asked Smith. "I don't know," answered DiPaolo. "[Ex-Bush strategist] Karl Rove is a genius, I guess" (wnd.com, 2008). The media cannot be blamed for this election defeat.

So; where did the GOP go wrong? Actually; where did they go right? The GOP takes the moral high ground but yet they have several office holders during the past eight years (and beyond) that proved to be moral reprobates, and the last two candidates, McCain and Palin are no exceptions to the continued immorality that pervades the quasi moralistic GOP! Don’t exposit morals when members of your party are amoral! And incidentally, where were the Evangelicals this election cycle? Usually they support and endorse the GOP candidates (sometimes reluctantly) but, this time they were noticeably quiet. Perhaps they are fatigued by the immorality within the GOP? I’ll have more to say on this next time.
