As a conservative, I am beyond ftustrated at the inaction of the Republican party on various issues and the violations of the Constitution. Most of which are impeachable. Why is the minority leader of the US Senate and the Republican congress not doing anything about these? Senator McConnell was vocal in his oposition to Obamacare but won't vote to defund it. Congress won't even defund scared to be blamed for "shutting down government" but won't even consider SELECTIVE funding.

New Chevy Truck.......
I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday, for a look at the
new Silverado 1500 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test
drive. I wanted to sense that new "feel" before they become extinct.
The salesman (a black man wearing an Obama "change" lapel pin)
sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its
"wonderful”options. The seats were of particular interest. He
explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter
and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like
messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.
Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck.
I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would blow smoke
up your ass year-round.
I had to walk back to the dealership to retrieve my old pickup.
Damn guy had no sense of humor.
(CNSNews.com) – In a blunt warning to countries critical of the Egyptian military crackdown and considering suspending aid, longstanding U.S. ally Saudi Arabia suggested that the decisions they make now will have long-term consequences for their relationships in the Arab and Muslim world. Saudi Arabia has led the way in supporting the Egyptian military’s actions, first in removing the Muslim Brotherhood administration early last month and in its subsequent steps against supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi. -
Should United States be fearful?

That's the question "can we?" who knows,do you?
As I sit here day after day and read what a lot of your have wrote. Some is good and some is bad.Some words are clean and sound ,and some are very hard and mean.
The words are only words but my question is can we? Can we truly stand with each other doing a true time of head ache. I keep wondering why are the ones we put in office not really listing to us. When they do not listen we want to get read of them in words,but not in action.Our represented in Washington is being paid through our tax dollars,but my question is "are the tax dollars that is used to pay them coming from our state tax's" or federal tax's?" Because if they are coming out of our state tax's then why can we not get the state to stop paying them by submitting a petition. They were sent to Washington DC to be our voice,and not our boss. They were sent they to do I will not there on will. They should listen to us and not having us to listen to them,our word should be the final word not they
But my question is "can we" if you know then let me know.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Coptic Kristallnacht
Andrew Doran, writing at National Review, calls the current wave of anti-Coptic violence in Egypt a Coptic version of Kristallnacht:
The Muslim Brotherhood’s systematic and coordinated attacks against Christians in Egypt are reminiscent of Kristallnacht in Germany in 1938, when Nazi paramilitaries systematically vandalized Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues and murdered scores of Jews in a disturbing foreshadowing of the fate of European Jews over the next few years. It is no accident that many Jews, including Barry Rubin and Jeffrey Goldberg, have been quick to raise the alarums over the persecution of Christians: They recognize the dangerous signs. “They have hatred in their hearts,” says Thabet of the Brotherhood, echoing observations commonly made of the National Socialists in 20th-century Germany.
The Brotherhood has been going on an orgy of destruction in revenge for the ouster of Mohamed Morsi. The property damage includes 40 churches and an unknown number of homes, businesses and cars belonging to Christians. In some cases the sites are marked with red paint and later burned.
Today there is a story of a group of nuns being marched "through the battle-torn streets of Cairo ‘like prisoners of war’" And as the Egyptian military attempts to quell this violence the Brotherhood manages to make itself out as the victims of violence in the media.
There have been voices in the media and in the region warning about the threat presented by the rise of the Brotherhood, but the Obama administration long ago placed all of its chips on the transformative power of political engagement with extremists. At the moment that is looking like a foolish bet.
Finally, it's worth noting that the religious persecution of Christians, mostly at the hands of Muslims, is an ongoing problem which is rarely recognized by western media.
So, the Muslims are Nazi Germany and Christians are the Jews.
Are we going to do nothing to protect them before the Holocaust?
The last paragraph seems to sum it up.
We must support this plan !
This is not a partisan issue. Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish meaningful power—no matter who is elected. The only rational conclusion is this: unless some political force outside of Washington, D.C., intervenes, the federal government will continue to bankrupt this nation, embezzle the legitimate authority of the states, and destroy the liberty of the people. Rather than securing the blessings of liberty for future generations, Washington, D.C., is on a path that will enslave our children and grandchildren to the debts of the past. This is not merely bad policy. It is immoral. Collusion among decision-makers in Washington, D.C., has replaced these checks and balances, and the federal judiciary supports Congress and the White House in its ever-escalating attack upon the jurisdiction of the fifty states. We need to realize that the structure of decision-making matters. Who decides what the law shall be is even more important than what is decided. The protection of liberty requires a strict adherence to the principle that power is limited and delegated. http://conventionofstates.com/problem |
Media's Cruz Derangement Syndrome: 'Creepy,' 'Abrasive,' Born in Canada
The attack on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has begun. Fearful of Cruz as a prospective Republican presidential nominee in 2016, the media is now digging into his past, all the way back to birth. The Daily Beast ran a profile on Monday with this headline: “Ted Cruz at Princeton: Creepy, Sometimes Well Liked, and Exactly the Same.” The hit piece questions whether “master debater who wore a paisley bathrobe to creepily stroll by the women’s wing of the dorm [can] be the next president.”
The piece quotes one of Cruz’s former classmates, Craig Mazin, stating, “I remember very specifically that he had a book in Spanish and the title was Was Karl Marx a Satanist? And I thought, who is this person? Even in 1988, he was politically extreme in a way that was surprising to me.” The piece makes no mention of Mazin’s background – Mazin is a leftist Hollywood screenwriter responsible for American classics Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, and Identity Thief. The piece goes on to quote classmate Erik Leitch, stating, “It was my distinct impression that Ted had nothing to learn from anyone else. The only point of Ted talking to you was to convince you of the rightness of his views.” If Cruz had been a liberal at Princeton, that would have been considered ideological purity. He was a conservative, so he was just stubborn, says the Beast: “In addition to Mazin and Leitch, several fellow classmates who asked that their names not be used described the young Cruz with words like ‘abrasive,’ ‘intense,’ ‘strident,’ ‘crank,’ and ‘arrogant.’ Four independently offered the word ‘creepy,’ with some pointing to Cruz’s habit of donning a paisley bathrobe and walking to the opposite end of their dorm’s hallway where the female students lived.”
The Daily Beast even went so far as to dig up poker debts Cruz ran up when he was a teenager. “Cruz [was] disliked, and intensely so, by many of his classmates,” says The Daily Beast. “The time-capsule quality of Cruz’s politics is lost on no one who knew him at Princeton, none of whom could point to a political position that he held 25 years ago that he does not seem to still hold today. For some, that amounts to a laudably consistent belief system. For others, it reveals a man of calcified thinking, dangerously impervious to facts, reality, and a changing world.”
Meanwhile, the Dallas Morning News has gone full birther, running a piece titled “Canada-born Ted Cruz became a citizen of that country as well as US.” The piece explains, “Unless the Texas Republican senator formally renounces that citizenship, he will remain a citizen of both countries, legal experts say. That means he could assert the right to vote in Canada or even run for Parliament. On a lunch break from the U.S. Senate, he could head to the nearby embassy — the one flying a bright red maple leaf flag — pull out his Calgary, Alberta, birth certificate and obtain a passport….The circumstances of Cruz’s birth have fueled a simmering debate over his eligibility to run for president. Knowingly or not, dual citizenship is an apparent if inconvenient truth for the tea party firebrand, who shows every sign he’s angling for the White House.”
Cruz has quickly become a Tea Party leader and high-ranking Senate figure despite just entering Congress. He is widely perceived to be a top contender for the 2016 Republican nomination. The former solicitor general for the State of Texas, Cruz attended Princeton University, Harvard Law School, and clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
Ben Shapiro is Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News and author of the New York Times bestseller “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America” (Threshold Editions, January 8, 2013).
In college, he was a conservative nerd among a bunch of liberal nerds.
If there is a Dual citizenship issue, he has time to repair it since he hasn't even agreed to run for the 2016 presidency!
I guess they are intimidated by him.
Why wasn't the liberal media so full of vigor with our current president? To this day, there are questions on his citizenship. There are pictures of him smoking dope....no big deal I guess.

Democrat Party leaders are joining their basic support within the NAACP, and other radical left-wing politicians to protest all Conservative moves within NC. The same activities apply to these same Democrat Party leaders and their left-wing followings in other states across our nation.
Upwards of 70% to 80% of North Carolinians support ‘Voter ID’ as an effort to validate the entire electorate of open and honest elections; however, these radical Democrats, the NAACP, and other left-wingers are acting as if the GOP majority North Carolina General Assembly and Republican Gov. Pat McCrory have stolen their ‘candy’ of fraudulent elections.
‘Voter ID’ is required to visit many local County Court Houses, the Governors’ offices, (y)our Capitol Hill office buildings, and the White House. We must show some government issued ‘photo ID’ to drive a car, fly on a plane, cash a check, open a bank account, collect social security benefits, receive food stamps, collect welfare, rent a car, check into a hotel room, pickup pre-ordered entertainment tickets, and the list goes on.
‘Voter ID’ is provided free to all who do not have one. Why do these left-wingers reject legislation to protect (y)our ‘election system’; to protect ‘illegals’ from voting at all, and/or legally qualified voters from voting more than once in each election?
The same applies to a ‘pro-life’ movement within North Carolina as ObamaCare is being forced on Conservatives who support life and oppose abortion. Open ‘Christian’ Prayers in government and in (y)our public schools are denying Conservatives any Constitutional right to practice Christian values while ‘Islam and Sharia Law’, that is ‘conflicting’ to our Constitution based on Christian values, is entering our governments and communities.
The Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others continue to oppose our ‘passed’ May 2012 Constitutional Amendment was defined and endorsed by some 61% of the electorate in support of a “Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State”.
The fact is that of the 30 states that had elections on Constitution Amendments passed their elections; yet 5 SCOTUS members, including Chief Justice John Roberts, reversed the voters’ decisions. I reference Chief Justice John Roberts as it must be remembered that John Roberts called ‘ObamaCare’ a tax law, even though our Constitution requires all tax legislation to begin in the US House, which it did not. It started in the US Senate.
View our Constitution standards and belief, as based on Christian values clearly recognized and trusted in by our Founding Fathers http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=78. If you support our Constitution, you will find that our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they could see what is happening in America; how this same Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others are destroying (y)our freedoms.
President Obama and his administration, a majority of the Democrat Party, the NAACP, and other left-wingers oppose all. These groups, in becoming minorities, are having difficult enthusiasm in living outside a Democrat majority in the NC General Assembly and Governor’s office, as well as in other states. Why does President Obama and AG Eric Holder continue to attack the governments of Texas, Arizona, and many others protection of the Tenth Amendment? U.S. Constitution - Amendment 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Many states and local governments are rejecting the ‘out-of-control’ spending and ‘lawless’ Constitutional violations under President Obama, his ‘Department of Injustice’ led by Attorney General Eric Holder, and others within Obama’s administration.
Additionally and unfortunately, President Obama, a majority of the Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others appears to be reviving and stimulating ‘racism’ in our communities as they sponsor their own ‘Divided States of America’ over our ‘United States of America’. These individuals and groups are revitalizing the same regressive movements as the KKK of yesteryear.

How many legislators voted to pass Obama care based on false pretenses! All officers are oath and duty bound to the highest standards of honesty, truth, and integrity. Are there any who had read and understood the legislation when they voted for it? How many yes voters have completely read the bill, understand it and can explain the laws and recite a firm cost per year with truthful disclosure of who is going to pay for it. Is there an accounting and consensus on the legality of stripping hundreds of billions from MEDICARE Funds that are required for retiree SSI-MED benefits... as part and parcel of SSI trust fund covenants?
If any of the naked ignorance and deception discussed in the media over the past several years is remotely true, we are following the Pied Piper of fraud over the cliff and into a sea of destruction. It isn't enough to defund Obamacare, we have fraud in treasonous proportions to prosecute, and no one seems to have the guts to file charges!
The Military budget could be cut in half and the USA would still be totally safe! How is that possible ? Return to the idea of M A D mutual assured destruction ! We need to make every enemy know that attacking the United States will result in retaliation many time the scale of the attack on us, and we are the only nation ever to use nuclear weapons in war and we will do so again if we must !
We have boots on the ground in over 100 foreign nations and that is expensive and really does not create real safety here at home with our lack of border security ! Having over 10 nuclear powered Air Craft Carrier battle groups is also a waste of money when one nuclear sub with a nuclear Cruise missile could reap havoc with such a Battle group.
Every military engagement that the US has engaged in after WWII has been based on a flawed foreign policy and faulty thinking [Containing Communism] ! if Communism is a flawed economic system it would fail on it's own when competing with true free enterprise capitalism.
In fact entering WWI actually sewed the seed for WWII by the Treaty of Versailles which economically punished Germany economically and created the anger and hostility that fomented WWII.
Our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the many other places we have troops on the ground only insights those people to find ways to attack us, as Ron Paul suggest calling that "BLOWBACK" .
Why is it our responsibility to guard the 38th parallel in Korea or defend Taiwan if Red China should try and take the island back under their control ?
Communism is a failed economic system and it will fail under its own weight, all our military does today is feed the Military Industrial complex as D. D. Eisenhower warned us about.
IF we minded our own business and had the nuclear big stick and the will to use it do you really think we would ever have to use it? NOT LIKELY .
A change in our foreign policy where we brought all our troops home to U.S. soil and said we would not engage in low intensity conflicts around the world any more but if attacked we would simply send an ICBM to the capital of the nation from where the attack came regardless of whether the attack was civilian or military, and if it were a Muslim religious group that attacked our target would be Mecca with a 20 megaton nuke.
This may seen like a strange and insane idea but before the USA became a world power we said we would avoid foreign entanglements, What happened? Idealism ? Nope the war mongers and bankers who fund all wars on both sides for profit gained to much power.
So do you want to offer up your Sons and Daughters to serve as Cannon Fodder or will you set aside your nationalism and combative nature to give peace a chance instead of funding ever bigger war machines ?
Are we a Constitutional republic or have we morphed into an Empire seeking to rule the world
At least that is what the markets are letting known is the driver and that is certainly part of the story.
Traders see through the stories but pay attention to them as well as the larger picture. Here is the TLT, an ETF representing 20 to 30 year bonds; rising interest rates have been killing it price:
If, that linked article is right, 10-year rates are going to 3%, that could put mortgages and the 30-year up towards 5% -- without the FED moving the overnight rate (the only rate they really control). The market may see that as a way to keep Fed rates low longer (Bernanke threatened an increase on May -- see the result on the chart above). All rates are linked together from short to long - see the yield curve here. The "longer term rates" must stay above the "short term rates" for banks to stay profitable -- they make a lot of their money from the "carry" between the rate times, borrowing short and lending out long. Play with the graph on the right and move a vertical line (that appears when you click on it, or you can animate it with the button) across the time scale. Note the inverted curve (shorter rates higher than long term rates) at the 2000 stock market peak and the similarly flat curve at the 2007 stock market peak. Compare that to our current yield curve, held artificially low by the emergency (going on 6 years) federal policies, anchoring it at 0%. Normal economic cycling has been suspended by the 5-year emergency measures!
"So we want stocks to go up for years? Well hold down interest rates -- a crappy economy will help. So what if it cripples growth to a crawl? We will worry about that later. What a juvenile selfish approach to managing our economy!
Note the move to near 0% (bottom of the yield curve at the origin of the graph) overnight rates in 12/07, carrying through the present -- what makes that possible is the almost unlimited printing of money (TARP, QE1, QE2, Operation Twist), massively inflating the US money supply (To make matters worse, most foreign countries are in the same boat or even worse off!). While stocks may retrace in price somewhat, until that policy is rescinded (or at least there is an announcement of a time-table for rate adjustment (up), stocks should be buoyed at some intermediate level. If they start to drop very low, despite the extremely loose money policy, that would be a very very bad sign for the market as well as the economy.
TLT should bottom out around 90 to 100. If stock prices fall steeply, bond prices are likely to rise again.
“Who Is The god/God Of The Libertarian ?
“Who Is The god/God Of The Libertarian ?
For those that pay attention and or remember such things; during the Democratic Party National Convention of 2012, all of America got a real glimpse of what Democrats believe about God of the Bible. I said it in an article at that time, and I'll say it again... “ the whole world got a chance to see what the Democrats believe in and they proved themselves that they are nothing less than God of the Bible haters. Yep, the whole bunch of them are haters... there is not only no room in their political party for God, there is no room in their hearts for God either (http://blackroberegimentpastor.blogspot.com/2012/09/dont-stand-within-500-ft-of-any.html). Knowing where the Democrats plainly stand is important and as the 2014 “mid-term election season” gets under way, The Republican Party candidates also need to be looked at with the same lens as how Democrats were also looked at in 2012. No one should be given a “pass” so to speak when it comes to assuming that certain political party's are “safe” when it comes to acknowledging God as part of a national or local political platform.
Because there are different sub-groups, that is...different factions of the Republican Party, and with the rising popularity of Senator Rand Paul, I thought it best at this time to take a look at the many Libertarian's who also call themselves “Republicans” also and their relationship with god/God. In writing this article, my work here will no doubt be ostracized by some(many?). Libertarians, after all and being involved in so many past debates with them, (if you want to call them “debates, my character was attacked more than facts provided to me via Libertarian's), I have learned that even among Libertarian's, they often disagree with one-another when it comes to what their belief system entails anyway. In fact, it was difficult for me to pin-point any exact unified belief systems among Libertarians especially when it came to a specific belief system in god/God. What I did find however was that “Religion” seems to be a real hot topic when researching views of Libertarians. I was not really looking for “religious beliefs” however, or the acceptance of “religion” among Libertarians. Religion has nothing to do with a personal relationship with God of the Bible through His Son Jesus Christ. I was instead looking for some sort of general attitude among most or the majority of Libertarians in the way of how they looked at the God of the Bible in their personal lives and political views. I needed to do much research as I said previously, however there wasn't much to find when it came to their beliefs in God of the Bible. I did however find this statement from their “National Platform” website that gives us something to consider;
“ We favor the freedom to engage in or abstain from any religious activities that do not violate the rights of others.We oppose government actions which either aid or attack any religion. “ http://www.lp.org/platform
With the actions and words of the most notably and famous Libertarian, that is former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, that quoted statement above from the Libertarian Political Party website all makes sense. His attitude and statement towards “leaving Muslims alone” and in the past; advocating for the Islamic Center being built near the 911 Memorial in New York City all meshes well with the National Libertarian Party political platform. Congressman Paul's son, US Senator Rand Paul has more of a toned down rhetoric when it comes to acceptance of “Islam”(and many issues his father has shared on) into American Society, however Rand Paul's attitude towards Muslims in general is more of an attitude of “limited action” on matters of Islamic hatred towards America. For the unknowing and unaware, Muslims have a belief and hatred for the USA because they hold to the false belief that “America is a Christian Nation.” Attacks upon the USA is for that major reason(not because we are attacking Muslim nations as Ron Paul is famous for stating often publicly). I believe it is absolutely important to note that Libertarianism allows any person to hold to any religious belief as long as “it does not interfere with others and their beliefs.” Islam however is a religion which respects no other belief system(despite what others may tell you) and there are millions of Muslims world-wide who have among their agenda, to destroy the USA. You cannot negotiate with these Islamists for what their Qur’an tells them to do, that is kill you if you are an “infidel”(a non believer of Islam, Libertarians who are non-Muslims are included on the list to be killed). Asking a Muslim... “can't we all just get along?” just doesn't work for obvious reasons. Thus Libertarianism is an unrealistic political belief in a the reality of a religious view that wants to murder you(remember, we're talking about “religion” here).
Beyond the issue of Libertarians who hold to the ignorant belief that they can somehow have peace with Muslims simply by “leaving them alone”, we all need to take a very close look at the many Libertarians who also hold to “no“religious belief” as well. Atheism, being agnostic and “not believing in God of the Bible” is a large part of the Libertarian Party belief system. Bottom line, Libertarianism is, “whatever you believe, is O.K.” with them as long as you don't try to convince nor force others to believe as you believe. Therefore, god of “self” is the most seen and respected among Libertarians. It's not that Libertarian's object to the One and True Living God of the Bible, no, not necessarily--- It's more of an attitude and belief system whatever you believe is up to you, just don't try to spread it around with others.” Here, read this again....
“We favor the freedom to engage in or abstain from any religious activities that do not violate therights of others. “ http://www.lp.org/platform
Yes, all can participate in “religious activities” as long as it does “not violate the rights of others.” That word “violate” being used within the Libertarian Party Platform is very vague language and probably communicated in their national platform purposely. Those of us Bible believing Christians would never force anyone to believe as we do, however we are commanded by Jesus to go out to the world and proclaim His Gospel to all(Matthew 28:18-20). Could that be considered violating the “rights of others” by Libertarians ? You bet it would. We know that the isolationist attitude of many Libertarians, that is....“let me live my life how I want, when I want, where I want. and no one is allowed to tell me differently” runs against everything the Bible teaches us and quite frankly, someone much more intelligent than I once said “no man is an island” for a reason. Our world is an increasingly smaller place and Libertarian beliefs that we can all do as we please without impacting others is nothing short of a fallacy and unrealistic belief system.
"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be i nattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."—The Writings of Washington, pp. 342-343.
America was founded as a “Christian nation.” However, we are no longer as such. I know that there are many in the USA who call themselves “Christians” but they are far from who they say they are, many political Libertarians included. Jesus said “you shall know them by their fruit.” He wasn't speaking about apples and bananas. Libertarianism is a political belief that “all is good” as long as “you leave me alone.” Abortion, which is the murder of children is allowed by Libertarians. Homosexuality, which is an un natural sexual act and what brought about the destruction of the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah is also accepted by Liberals as well as Libertarians(according to their national platform). The Libertarian Political Party approval of abortion and homosexuality runs contrary to God's Word. It does not surprise me that during my research, I located a website regarding Libertarian beliefs and political policy put in place via Ralph Raico who wrote "Gay Rights: A Libertarian Approach" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Raico). Once again, beliefs that all go against the Bible. More than God of the Bible, it is clear to me, many Libertarians are primarily concerned with “self” rather than with anybody or anything else. In fact, “self” for those Libertarians who believe in that way have essentially made themselves “god” over God of the Bible. It is increasingly apparent to me as well as others that selfishness rues their lives. Don't think that Communism is the answer to Libertarianism. Be warned however, If you quote from the Bible regarding Christian responsibility to love and care for one-another, you will be libeled in being called a “Communist.” That false claim or something worse will be what an Libertarian extremist will hit you with when showing that Libertarianism without God squares with selfishness. The Christian Bible is clear, we are to care for “our neighbors” as well as ourselves. An Libertarian or someone else may ask you, “Who is my neighbor”? Great question, have them read Luke 10:25-37 ! I'll warn you though, you may not get an answer that your looking for. Perhaps according to many Libertarians, they and Lawyers, and Communists, they get an “Obama exemption” from these Bible verses ?
Libertarians are concerned regarding one major theme, that is of personally liberty issues. Personal liberty has it's strong roots in the beginning and molding as well as formation of our beloved nation. Anyone who would tell you otherwise is just plain lying to you. As you read many of our Founding Father's writings, you can plainly see what I am saying here is absolutely true. Although not all the Founding Fathers of the USA were Biblical Christians, the vast majority of them were. No one can with total honesty deny that truth. The problem with Libertarian beliefs(according to their national platform once again), is that they stray very far from not only the beliefs of those Founding Father's but the very documents that were written for us to use God of the Bible to build and maintain our nation. Libertarians are hopelessly trying to build a sort utopia where everyone lives as he or she pleases but in reality resembles what humanism rues to a nation. Reminding me of the old 60's Hippie phrase, “if it feels good, do it” comes to mind when it comes to many a Libertarian belief. That quote and attitude is what got this nation in trouble to begin with and why we are in the situation we're in now. Having no God(of the Bible) means no accountability towards anyone... not a wife, not to children, not towards your family, not your neighbor nor you community. If every American chooses to serve “whatever god/God or no God as he or she chooses”, we can only expect nothing less than this nation's own destruction via God's judging hand for rejecting Him and only Him as what our Founding Fathers believed. Only a fool and a person steep in the process of denial believes there is no accountability for your actions and there is no God or “you are god.” Everything, that's right...everything you say and do has impact on others whether you are honest about it or not.
"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate this conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would
be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia,
what a Paradise would this region be."~John Adams--Diary and Autobiography of John Adams, Vol. III, p. 9.
This Libertarian attitude which many Libertarian’s believe is that individual liberty means one can do what they will with their own body's. Just as I mentioned the evils of abortion and homosexuality earlier in this article, Marijuana and drug use is something many, many Libertarians have no problem with either. For many Libertarians, the belief system is... “as long as you don't force others to use drugs, you have the right to participate in the manner you see fit” This pervasive Libertarian attitude towards Marijuana and other drug use is especially popular among young adults today. As a matter of fact, “decriminalization of Marijuana use” via the Libertarian's Ron Paul is very big draw of younger adults to the Libertarian Party and it's political agenda. God disapproves of intoxication with any chemical use. I don't care what lies are produced from supposed medical journals telling you Marijuana is harmless, healthy or aides you in your health. It's been proven over and over and over again that THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol) breaks chromosomes, has between 20 to 70 times more carcinogens than tobacco, and I could go on and on. The bottom line is that God disapproves of Alcohol abuse and Drug use and are bad for you period( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1490047/ ).Your so called “personal liberty” and choice to pollute/poison your body and mind with alcohol and or drugs is as I have shared in this article and according to God's Word.... is nothing short of selfishness. That's right, your partaking in a selfish act. The Libertarian lie that your choices impact upon no one else is a lie also. I have personally counseled thousands and thousands of spouses, parents, children, family members, friends and others because of the decision for some to engage in alcohol abuse and or drug use. These so called “non existent” victims according to Libertarians all have the exact same reoccurring theme... that in how they were all negatively impacted by someone else's choice to partake in the selfish act of alcohol abuse and or drug use. I'll repeat myself again, God does not approve of alcohol abuse or any drug use. Libertarianism however largely removes God from the equation of personal liberty as was defined by our Founding Fathers and thus creates a larger societal problem, that being what every American wants; “rights” but totally ignores what goes along with those “God given rights”, that is, our “God given responsibilities” not only towards ourselves, but just as importantly, towards ourselves, but just as importantly, towards others.
"The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts."~ John Jay
As I shared in the beginning of this article, I know there will be so called self described “Libertarians” who will be bent on trying destroy everything I have said and proven in this article. In fact, there will be those “Paulinians” who pride themselves on arguing for the sake of arguing, no facts needed on their end, just lot's of truth-twisting, arguing and unnecessary vicious attacks including character assassinations. This behavior and attitude on their part is the fruit of their belief system. I've seen and heard it many times over. Only God Himself through His Spirit can change hardened hearts, my job is to tell the truth in love. Here's the bottom line for all of us... the real dilemma for Libertarians is; which god/God will they choose ? That question puts them in the same “boat” if you will with Liberals, RINO's, Tea Party Members, Socialists and others who reject the very God that gives us all personal freedoms and choices. All for the moment still have a choice, they can choose to lose that selfish and ill gotten attitude of personal liberty without God, or they can go on in their delusion that they themselves and their choices are their own and that the foolish belief that there won't ever be any negative consequence for themselves or others for making themselves “god” or making choices absent of God's best will all end in disaster.
"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be."~John Adams--Diary and Autobiography

This is my first blog post, as well as my first day with the command center. Getting started, I read a current event dealing with homosexuality. I am no where near socially liberal, anymore than I am a religious Zealot. I was shocked, however, to see conservative Americans, using slurs and language that actually give the left leaning media reason to point to us and call us bigots and homophobes. The homosexual agenda is disturbing to me, however someone's right to be gay and not be harassed about it is just as important. It has always been my understanding that the Tea Party Movement was led by Constitution lovers that believe, according to the Declaration of Independence, that all men/women are created equal. It was my belief that the Tea Party wants limited government, fiscal responsibility, and liberty for all. Can we allow this movement to be compromised by becoming a variable "cheater pipe" to secure the bolts of Conservative Christians that exclude all views but theirs? I am a believer, and my faith is important to me, but my nation is a "Republic". It is obvious that this nation was founded on Christian values, and to the core of average Americans, they are still important. They are still important to me, but in the media, we must not be ashamed of our faith, however, we can not try to shame non believers into believing. All this accomplishes is getting us branded as zealots, bigots, and homophobes. The liberal media is never going to accept us anymore than they are going to accept facts. Here is my overall point. Their only reason for having conservatives on their programs is to chomp at the bit waiting for us to say something that they can misconstrue, distort, and make us look foolish with. We the people must stay above the fray, being cultured, well spoken, and above reproach. If your anger for not feeling heard or represented has caused you to lash out on the forums with slurs, insults, and personal beliefs that may or may not be founded in fact, please examine your motives. I use this simple anagram to keep myself in check, and admittedly, sometimes I fall short as well, and wish to be held accountable if I do.

Do we want real results? Or do we just want a forum in which to vent? Our venting is not changing this country back to the self reliant, powerful, and respected nation we once were. We must lead by example and always provide the best example possible. Yes you do have freedom of speech, for now, but with every liberty, responsibility is assumed, because you are an American, and a cut above. Thank you!
Obama care is going to spend 67 million dollars to hire non regulated, non vetted or finger printed Obama care navigators the mission to get everyone registered. Our private information will be exposed and some of these people will take advantage and/or mis-use this private and confidential information. Groups like Move on or others will be given these millions to get you information and will not be checked because time is running out and Obama wants it down ASAP.
67 Million plus when we are sequestered!!!!!! Wow, what a waste and risk to the citizens.
Wow, climate change is upon us and our President still wants to spend billions fighting global warming, I mean climate change. NASA is redirected to research climate change and of course, MUSLIM outreach, the EPA will go around Congress and pursue climate change regulations, coal power plant regulations that will make energy cost skyrocket and fuel alternative fuel regulations that will force billions to be spent buying credits driving up costs further, NINE billion tax dollar subsidy spent on ethanol production which uses 45% of the world corn production driving up this food item and they use 1500 gallons of precious water for each gallon of ethanol produced. If Obama had his way we would pay other countries billions to buy carbon credit which would redistribute our wealth to others and make the brokers billions of dollars too. Al Gore owns part of these carbon credit brokers and even he recently admitted that ethanol production was not a good idea.
I think the made up carbon credit scheme is about power, control and wealth distribution. It is a stupid idea and makes no sense.
