Over the past several months, I have been told, many times, that ours is a CHRISTIAN nation…and that our Constitution most definitely reflects that as fact.

Nothing could be further from the truth but, many have told me, in no uncertain terms, that they can PROVE it and Wednesday was no exception.

Kevin Wright, who has resorted to telling lies regarding my stand on certain topics…such as that I approve of “the jailing of Christians, and the closing of Christian schools and Churches,” none of which even approaches the truth, and that I…”agree, that Christians should be dismissed from political office…” again, a lie in the bald-faced realm…made it quite clear that…”The US Constitution, is established by Jesus Christ. If you have a problem with that, leave. We do not need any more pretend patriots.”

Oh, really?

The IRS vs. the Church

The IRS targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups prior to the 2012 election was an unconscionable abuse of power for which accountability and punishment have been noticeably absent. But this was and is not the only use by the Obama administration of the power to tax to attempt to destroy its political opponents.

The IRS is also involved in targeting what President Obama has called “less than loving” Christians through the mandates of ObamaCare and its attack on the free exercise of religion through the attempted coercion of mandated health insurance coverage  This administration’s war on religion is also seen in the monitoring of Christian churches by the IRS in response to a lawsuit filed on December 27, 2012 by the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF)  concerning sermons that are considered by the political left  to be political speech by tax-exempt organization in alleged violation of federal law. These sermons, often criticizing ObamaCare’s encroachment on freedom of religion through its mandates among other issues, are considered electioneering by the atheist left.

President Obama’s and his administration ‘SCHEME ‘ of  FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA and its’ History as Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats transformed our Health Care system into ObamaCare.

 By Oscar Y. Harward

 “When broken down on party lines, the numbers shifted. 76 percent of polled Republicans oppose the standards, while 53 percent of Democrats support the Common Core.

 Of those contacted by Gallup, 17 percent said they knew a “great deal” about the controversial educational standards, while 30 percent said they knew a “fair amount.” 34 percent had “only a little” knowledge and 19 percent knew “nothing at all” about the Common Core.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/08/21/new-poll-spells-some-very-bad-news-for-common-core-supporters/

 “New history curriculum standards proposed for top high school students leave out such American icons as Benjamin Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr., paint colonists as bigots and gloss over the Greatest Generation's fight to save the world from Nazi Germany, according to conservative education activists who want the framework delayed — and perhaps scrapped altogether. 

An open letter circulated by conservative education activists is calling on The College Board to delay implementing new Advanced Placement U.S. History guidelines, saying a “rising tide of opposition” believes the curriculum will take the nation’s classrooms in a bad direction.”

 ““The framework ignores the rise of democratic institutions such as the House of Burgesses and New England town meetings,” reads an open letter to the College Board, which oversees Advanced Placement testing.  “It also omits the colonists’ growing commitment to religious freedom and the emergence of a pluralistic society that lacked an entrenched aristocracy.”

 Also skirted over: America’s role in fighting the Nazis during World War II.

 Instead, said Larry Krieger, a retired teacher and former test preparation expert, the guidelines feature “our nation’s founders portrayed as bigots who developed a belief in white superiority that was, in turn, derived from a strong belief in British racial and cultural superiority.”

 “And you’re not going to find Thomas Jefferson and the House of Burgesses and the cradle of democracy either,” Krieger told Fox. “You’re not going to find Benjamin Franklin and the birth of American entrepreneurialism.”” http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/07/historic-fail-greatest-americans-missing-from-proposed-curriculum/

“The U.S. Department of Education has used a $4.3 billion grant program and federal policy waivers to encourage states to adopt uniform education standards and testing. The Republican governor says that "effectively forces states down a path toward a national curriculum" in violation of the state sovereignty clause in the Constitution and federal laws that prohibit national control of education content.”

“However, Anna Hunderfund, superintendent of the Locust Valley school district, said the lawsuit reflects local frustration with what many consider government intrusion.

"The authority of local school boards has been undermined at the federal level in ways that were never intended," she said. "People are elected to reflect local values. Over-regulation at the expense of local government is very troublesome."” http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/bobby-jindal-louisiana-governor-sues-feds-over-common-core-1.9163943

 “The “10 Facts” resource explains how the Common Core is rushed, untested, and experimental, and how Common Core is (ultimately) concerned with textbooks and curriculum. It explains how Catholic schools are already outperforming public schools, and how Common Core may hinder students’ education and formation.

The final fact that all Catholics should know about the Common Core, the “10 Facts” resource states, is that “Our ‘common core’ is the Catholic faith.”” http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/3431/10-Facts-Every-Catholic-Should-Know-About-the-Common-Core.aspx

It’s everything you’d expect from All In With Chris Hayes, and so much less … less common sense, less intellectually honest, and less respectful of faith. Renowned Jesuit author Fr. James Martin looks at times like he’d accidentally wandered into a lunatic asylum during this segment, and after watching five minutes of Chris Hayes and Harvard’s Christopher Robichaud treat the now-cancelled “black mass” event like an actual religious practice rather than a hate-speech mockery of the Catholic Mass, Fr. Martin will not be alone in that confusion:

Martin offers a very close analogy when he suggests that Harvard wouldn’t have tolerated the burning of a Koran, even if wrapped in pseudo-religious practice. Muslims see that as a desecration of their religion, just as Catholics see the “black mass” — and given the nearly step-by-step mockery of Catholic liturgy in the latter, Catholics have a much better case to make. The entire point of this “service” is hatred towards Catholics in particular. Instead of addressing this point, though, both Hayes and Robichaud accuse Martin of spouting “false equivalencies” and start moaning over the power of “major religions” to keep the “marginalized” out of the debate.

POLL: Has the Obama Administration turned its back on Israel?

Father Martin is not some finger-wagging, down-shouter of a shepherd (all-pulpit-no-pasture and forever on the harangue), and because that is true, and because his easygoing manner is well-known, you would think that his sobriety, here — his stark refusal to budge on the subject of Satanism, and the offensiveness inherent to any Black Mass being “re-enacted” in the public — would make an unusually strong impression on the host, Chris Hayes, and other guest.

You might think it, but sadly, you’d be wrong. No one in this video clip is thinking, “gee, Martin is no lunatic, and his gravity is palpable, so maybe there’s more to this than I know…” Rather, Hayes seems incapable of fully masking his amused condescension toward Martin’s concerns, and is willfully choosing not to hear his words; the two men prefer to travel campus-comfortable tracks, ranging from the predictable to the bigoted to the silly, with a side-trip to pick up a straw man. …

Notice, Martin addresses the “Black Mass” situation on Harvard Extension’s own terms. That body characterized the insult as a “cultural” event and compared it to a re-enactment of a Shinto Tea Ceremony; Father Martin suggests that a similar “re-enactment” of an anti-semitic or racial horror, like a lynching or a cross-burning, would quite rightly be a denounced as having no place on any campus or indeed in any public place. Why, then, would the mockery of the Catholic Mass be an acceptable insensitivity?

The answer does not come. Instead Hayes and Harvard’s Christopher Robichaud tries to rebut with overarching smugness. Unable to admit “rem acu tetigisti”, Robichaud suggests that Martin is intellectually “sloppy” and risks credibility by rejecting the priest’s very accurate question as a “false equivalency”; his argument essentially boils down to this: “marginalized communities” deserve sensitivity protections and respect, but “big powerful religions” do not. I wonder if he’d be fine, then, with a public burning of the Koran, since Islam, claiming a billion members, is a “big powerful religion.”

He and Harvard would most certainly not be fine with that. They would chalk that up as oppression of a marginalized community too, although the true motives would almost certainly be a little more in line with their survival instincts.

The chief absurdity, though, comes from the religious-liberty equivalency argument Hayes and Robichaud make in regard to the Satanists and the “Pastafarians,” a juvenile and tiresome satirical group of atheists mocking religious practice in general. The event was not staged as a religious event but a cultural event, and in any case the controversy wasn’t about the rights of Satanists to do what they do on their own property. It was about Harvard’s decision to host and sponsor the event, directly and indirectly, while claiming to be opposed to hate speech, marginalization, etc etc etc. Religious freedom wasn’t the issue at all, but that was the dodge Hayes and Robichaud used.

PLEASE...PLEASE...Read this...read the WHOLE thing.

Read their words...Lenin, Stalin. 0-bummer, Killary.

If this doesn't get you off your butt and actively involved in saving America, all I have to say to you is SAYONARA!

I learned this almost 55 years ago from my Russian Professor, Dr Yuri Arbatsky, who defected from Russia after they broke all his fingers. He was, among many other things, a concert pianist.
He said the commie goal (patient, persistent, long-term) of CONTROL was a three-legged stool.
* Own The News Industry
* Kill Religion(GOD).... close the Churches
* Brainwash the children

Look for those ideas in the many quotes from Lenin, Stalin. 0-bummer, Killary in......American Thinker

Here are just a few........ PLEASE read them... ALL..... AMERICA NEEDS YOU NOW!

• "The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament."

• "We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?"
• "...We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."⁹
• "We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Tell me... who said those.

NOW ...get off your butts and get involved in SAVING AMERICA.

PLEASE SHARE THIS

This is what happens when you start acting like all religions have equal merit. We were, and considered ourselves, a Christian nation for close to two hundred years, and now we have rejected that label. This is the result.

From the Associated Press:

Group unveils Satan statue design for Oklahoma (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SATANIST_MONUMENT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-01-06-16-27-47)

“The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond,” temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said in a statement. “The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation.”

The group is proposing a 7-foot statue of Baphomet, a horned goat-headed figure sitting on a pentagram-adorned throne with two smiling children next to him, which it believes will “serve as a beacon calling for compassion and empathy among all living creatures.

They have released the following statement:

“By accepting our offer, the good people of Oklahoma City will have the opportunity to show that they espouse the basic freedoms spelled out in the Constitution.”

One has a hard time understanding Satan worshippers. What has he ever done to deserve gratitude, respect, or worship? If you believe in Satan, you must also believe there is a God. For one was created by the other, and then that creation rebelled. One represents all that is good, and one represents all that is evil. If you choose the latter, it shows what kind of person you really are.

One of my friends had this to say about the latest OMG moment in the culture wars.

“”Moral relativism is how Good is attacked by Evil. Take this example. Modern thinking would say that each religion deserves its place, as long as it’s privately funded. But is our society based on Satanic ideals? Is that the message we want to send?”"

And that is a good point. Once we start to believe that all religions have equal validity, then this is what you end up with. History tells that this nation was founded by Christians on Biblical principles. One may not like that, but the truth is the truth. The concept of ‘freedom of religion’ was specifically designed so we wouldn’t have one official church that everyone had to belong to as the case had been in Britain. But it in no way diminished or downplayed the role Christianity prominently played in society and the culture at large, both in and out of government.

It is the courts, not the people or the Constitution as originally written or understood, that have attempted to remove Christianity from its historical place and role in our nation. But such politically correct, liberal ideas have led us down this path to where it would be conceivable for such a hateful blasphemy to even be considered acceptable or legal to display next to the Ten Commandments.

Interestingly, the greatest champions of this proposal have turned out to be atheists. They claim to believe in neither, but their unrelenting hatred of all things Christian will drive them to champion the most bizarre of things and support every effort to undermine the concept of God, traditional morals and values, and fundamental right and wrong. See FB thread here. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=637464026296083&set=a.312760942099728.67384.100450643330760&type=1&theater

I do not believe in the lie of blind tolerance no matter what. I do instead believe in wise discernment. The people and Oklahoma have every right to display the Ten Commandments and just as much right to reject a statue of Satan. The Founding Fathers would have had no problem with that decision, and would have mocked us for being played the fool by those who think otherwise.

One nation under God . . . with the freedom to practice whatever your religion may be, as long as it was within our laws.  This is no doubt one of the many reasons that made America so great and one of the many reasons people from diverse religious backgrounds flock to our country.  We are richer, stronger and alot more interesting, due to our diverse cultures and religious backgrounds.  Yet ... when our forefathers set out to secure the implementation of religious freedom, it was certainly not with the intention to "replace" or dilute the very religion to which this country was founded - CHRISTIANITY !  Just as we American's / Christian's would respect the religion of any culture to which we visit, we would not try to replace or minimize the religion to which it was founded !  America has reached a crossroad, to the like's it has never experienced before. It's true upon our founding, that all immigrant's struggled to assimilate and coexist between their different religious beliefs but there's a very large difference between understanding "the need to coexist," having been given "the freedom of religion," vs. the "forced implementation or altering" of our own religion, simply to accommodate another !  SOMETHING IS DRASTICALLY WRONG HERE ... for most of us know that "religion is about tolerance," and not TAKE OVER !  Many of us understand that President Obama has displayed a certain allegiance to the Muslim religion.  America's instinctive tolerance has aloud much of this allegiance to go unquestioned or unverified as to its' continuing impact on our very own country.  IF WE DON'T BEGIN TO QUESTION, BEGIN TO VERIFY, HAVE YOUR FAMILY VERIFY, YOUR FRIENDS VERIFY, YOUR TEACHER'S VERIFY, YOUR POLITICIAN'S VERIFY, etc... etc... etc...  The very freedoms your family is enjoying right now, are very unlikely to be enjoyed by your grandchildren !  And sadly ... all they'll be able to do is look back at our generation and wonder why WE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN !  If you haven't seen or heard about this already, below is just another example of President Obama using taxpayer dollars TO PROMOTE THE MONOPOLY OF THE MUSLIM RELIGION INTO OUR COUNTRY.  The below stamp, President Obama had created to honor and celebrate the Muslim Holiday's. Don't want your taxpayer dollars used to promote the Muslim religion, you better hold on pretty tight ... THERE'S ALOT MORE COMING  . . .

A Little Knowledge Is a Dangerous

Allow me to begin by explaining a few things about myself.  I am most politically incorrect.  I hold a few things as tenets of my American citizenship.

One:    This is and was intended to be a Christian nation. 

Two:    Muslims and the muslim religion are something to be feared and distrusted.

Three:  This country was founded on the principles of freedom and individual  responsibility.

Four:    An ignorant electorate is a very dangerous thing.

Now let’s take a look at those tenets in order

This country was founded and by Christians.  Yes they wrote into that marvelous document we know as our Constitution.  Yes they wrote into the first ten amendments, better known as the Bill of Rights, and into the very first of them these words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …” but there is no way they intended that to be interpreted as the outlawing of governmentally sponsored and approved religious symbolism or practices on or near governmentally supported institutions. Thomas Jefferson ,our third president and author of the Declaration of Independence and founding father certainly knew of that amendment when he began holding church services in the White House after he was elected.  A tradition that lasted for fifty years..  Nor were they ignorant of them when they inscribed out money with “In GOD We Trust” and placing various references to God on many of our government buildings in Washington DC.  I am of the firm opinion that the Supreme Court was way out of bounds in declaring school prayer unconstitutional.

The Muslim religion has as one of their tenets that infidels that cannot be converted must be killed.  I cannot be converted.  I have reason to distrust and fear any and all Muslims.  AND I do.  This says nothing of the fact that the largest of the muslim sects- The Shiites - has formally declared a “jihad” against America which is tantamount to a declaration of war.

The first Amendment to the Constitution states in full “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”  I take that to mean I am allowed to write this blog and say what I choose or to give a speech on any topic and on any street corner of these United States without government interference.  Were you aware that a man and his wife were detained, in handcuffs, inside a national park, Liberty Park ironically, for the act of handing out pamphlets regarding the Constitution of this country?  It is true.  Look it up.

And the last point regarding an uninformed electorate.  One minor example I’ll give you is the recent “Overpass” rallies held by many Tea Party organizations around this nation.  The county I live in doesn’t have an overpass so the local Tea Party held theirs by the side of one of the major highways in the county.  That organization received this post on it’s Face Book page.  "Your display on Route 19 today is an embarrassment to the state. I hope those unfortunate enough to have seen it don't think the entire community shares your hatred for the President of the United States."  She is apparently unaware that one poll shows that fifty seven pct. of AMERICAN voters disapprove of that president and a growing faction (Hovering near the 50% level) believe he has committed crimes deserving of impeachment.  She is unaware that a majority of her fellow citizens in West (By God) Virginia feel that way.  Then there are the people who get their information about the state of this country only from the mainstream media.  Even true idiots don’t limit themselves to one source of information.  Gad woman, WAKE UP.

This one fact leads us to a very dangerous situation for Americans.  Obamacare is so feared by the informed public that even agencies of the federal government are protesting being covered by it.  Just as an aside I have a good friend in the corporate world whose insurance premium has already doubled and they are looking at more increases every few months.  All because of Obamacare.  My personal physician has opted out of the Medicare system because of it and now sees only privately insured or cash customers.  I am one of those people covered by Medicare so I don’t get to see a Dr. very often these days.  Just can’t afford it. I could go on about the liberal overreach and destruction of freedoms as well as the encroachment on our Constitution, but I will save that for another day.

That ends the rant for today.  If you want to comment or take exception to these words, my email address is here for your enjoyment.

Please read this and share it or send this on!

Abraham asked the Lord to spare 50 righteous people. God responded
to Abraham's plea "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city,
then I will spare all ....Genesis 18:16-33

The movie " Corpus Christi " is due to be released this June to August. A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theaters for a while. It's called " Corpus Christi " which means "The Body of Christ". It's revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference.

That's why I am sharing this with you. If you do send this around, we
just might be able to prevent this film from showing in Canada and America . Let's stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.

Where do we stand as Christians?

At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm sharing this to all I think
would appreciate it, too. Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. There is no petition to sign, no time limit, or minimum number of people to send this to.. It will take you less than 2 minutes! To copy and paste this and email it to as many people you know.

Some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need
is a lot of prayer and a lot of emails and sharing of this information

 JUST GET THE WORD OUT!

....Will God be able to find at least 50 righteous people who are willing
to express their concern and voice their opinion against this act of
blasphemy.

May 2, 2013 - An open letter to my Elected

STAFF MEMBERS - Please see that this missive gets to the desk and view of my Elected with Haste! Priority!

The Honorable Congressman Smith

The Honorable Senator Cornyn

The Honorable Senator Cruz

Gentlemen, Good morning!

Regretfully; this morning I am forced to write you on a matter affecting us all, but immediately affecting the men and women of our Military.

I am referring to the recent news release quoting the Department of Defense (DOD) stating they are going to begin Courts Martial actions on all Military members who are Christians and proselytize.

I might add at this point, from the terms and words used in the release (actual words from Mr. Mikey Weinstein) this act will likely result in immediate Criminal prosecution on treason and sedition charges against all members of the Chaplain Corps in all services - as well as the same for every Christian Military member who simply attends a Christian service on post, in the field or while in Uniform!

The normal act of Christian services on Sunday - in a Church or in the field - will cease. Hundreds of thousands of Military members will be falsely imprisoned, charged with treason and or sedition simply for being a Christian. Every Military members records (201 file) tell the reader what their religious affiliation is - and the Military member has no control over their records.

Please note Gentlemen; these actions criminalize Religion with Federal Felony Criminal charges of treason and sedition. They are a blatant and direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America!

Gentlemen - this act is unconscionable.  And the action by DOD of engaging an anti-Christian atheist extremist to develop this plan..... monstrous.

There were news releases in the past that Mr. Obama was filtering Military Leadership, terminating (firing, forcing to retire) those in Military Leadership who choose not to follow his plans - I now strongly suspect those reports were true - as we now have a situation previously unheard of and unthinkable to a Soldier, Marine, Sailor or Airman.

A situation previously unheard of in the history of our Nation.

I cannot fathom how this has occurred nor what the implications to morale will be - but I do not hold hope the morale will be high... I expect this will take morale of all our Military to the toilet.

Christianity is what our Nation was founded upon. Freedom of religion is what our Nation was founded upon!

This Nation, the leadership of the Nation and Congress have failed our Military.

Those who have sacrificed so much, some with their lives... sacrificed on the altar of Mr. Obama's politics.... and for what??????????????????????????

Honorable Sir's, all of Congress, even yourselves, have been guilty of REACTING instead of being PROACTIVE in addressing immediate issues we as a Nation have faced. If you look in retrospect at the past four years you will see this fact for yourself. I strongly believe it is time Congress realized this error and changed the way it does business - regardless of party.

All of you, as well as every member in Congress, have been deluged with snail-mail, e-mail, faxes and phone calls. I surmise that the telephone system at Congress crashing on a daily basis and your overwhelmed staff's should give you an idea just how serious constituents believe every issue is....

Many constituents who have contacted you have used the phrase "connect the dots"... and I believe Congress - as a whole - has failed to understand this concept and "connect the dots".

For Congress to become PROACTIVE - you have to learn to "connect the dots" and realize that everything Mr. Obama has done in the past four years was according to some plan he has - and from our viewpoint... we don't like where the obvious road that "plan" leads.

We expected you to "connect the dots"

If you follow the news to any degree - you will know there is a Federal Court case in progress in the Supreme Court of Alabama under the Honorably Judge Moore on the eligibility of Mr. Obama to hold the office of President of the United States of America.

In discovery in this case, the Democratic National Party has submitted an amicus brief in support of Mr. Obama.... there is one small but important fact with this brief.

Within the contents of the brief the Democrats submitted another copy of an alleged "long form birth certificate" for Mr. Obama - and it differs substantially from the long form birth certificate Mr. Obama posted on the White House website.

There now exist three (3) different "birth certificates" alleged to be valid and original - all substantially different from one another.

It appears Congress refusal to hear or consider Sheriff Arpaio's (Maricopa County, AZ) evidence that the birth certificate Mr. Obama presented on the White House website is a forged computer generated fraud was a very serious mistake.

Perhaps it is time for you to rectify your mistake and hear Sheriff Arpaio's evidence.......  

Gentlemen, we have had a "Constitutional Crisis" for almost five (5) years now because Congress has refused to hear evidence Mr. Obama was an usurper. Our Nation has been in decline, our National credit rating has been reduced our National debt has increased - more than the deficit of all past Presidents combined in the history of this Nation!

We have endured several attempts at shredding the Constitution of the United States by this administration, we have witnessed this administration building hundreds of high security prisons at taxpayer expense calling them "FEMA Relocation Camps"... We have witnessed this administration throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at countries labeled by domestic and foreign intelligence agencies as having ties to terrorist organizations, we have witnessed this administration gunrunning to the Mexican Cartel - then claiming executive privilege and denying Congress the evidence it seeks, we have witnessed this administration allowing a U.S. Ambassador to be murdered and potentially an international gun running scheme in Benghazi - all stonewalled by this administration when Citizens demanded investigation and Congress attempted said investigation...

We have witnessed this administration's "Department of Homeland Security" arming itself with billions of rounds of ammunition, equipping itself with up-armored Combat vehicles on U.S. soil....

We have witnessed Mr. Obama addressing a Planned Parenthood conference here in Texas asking "god" to "bless" the abortion and murder of the unborn... Please re-read what the Bible has to say on abortion.....

Now we have DOD attempting to criminalize the 1st Amendment rights of every member of the U.S. Military, their freedom of Religion and right to Worship GOD.

Don't you think it's time you and the rest of Congress learned to connect the dots?

My personal opinion is; ALL of Congress should "Clear the Deck", immediately stop everything they are currently working on and investigate the possibility in extreme depth of the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama.

My personal opinion and the opinion of millions of Americans is; We are facing the greatest National Security threat in the history of our Nation!

We are not "fringe" nor are we "extremist" - we are extremely concerned Americans.

We expect our Congress to "connect the dots" and act.

Respectfully,

Tea Party Command Center

By Oscar Y. Harward

What value is the Republican Party ‘Platform’ other than a ‘piece of paper’ when (y)our ‘GOP leadership’ is shaped and approved from the ‘grassroots’ of our Party, displayed as a roadmap for leaders to follow, but its’ precise and detailed values are ‘never applied’ or ‘required’?

Is it possible for the Republican Party ‘leadership’ to return our GOP and our nation back to include a ‘common-sense’ GOP Platform on ‘social issues’, or is the GOP going to continue downhill and into the sewer?

Will the GOP return to Christian values as our Founding Fathers established in our Constitution?  Many others are more than willing to follow the GOP as our Party will then expand.

When President Ronald Reagan said to ‘Build a big tent’, he explained the need to build the Republican Party with others who would support similar ‘social and fiscal’ issues some 80% of the time.  Support of the issues must be based on ‘differing’ issues; Liberal Democrat Party issues v. Conservative Republican Party issues.  President Reagan’s ‘win’ was to persuade others to accept his philosophy; and not for President Reagan, you and/or me to accept theirs.

The Republican Party Platform and its’ ‘leadership’ must subscribe to ‘Social, Fiscal, and National Security’ issues; in that order.  When the ‘Social’ issues become the forerunner, the other issue concerns follow in the ‘right’ path; not necessarily so in any other order.

If the GOP ‘leadership’ continues to degrade (y)our Republican Party based on ‘shameful’, ‘immoral’, and/or other ‘wasteful spending’ on fiscal issues, the Republican Party will die and ‘many others’ will move forward with another “Party” based on ‘moral, fiscal, and National Security’ issue values.

Our Republican Party does not need ‘Republicans In Name Only’ (RINO) or any other ‘Democrat look-alikes’ in our Party. 

‘Main-stream Medias’ and Liberal Democrats steer the ‘out-of-control’ spending while ‘RINO’ Republicans join the left-wing Democrats’ proposals in crossing the ‘political aisle’ to vote and accept more additional spending.  Secondly, these same legislators prepare and dominate lower social standards.  These ‘left-wing’ agendas are wrong.

It is this ‘left-wing’ representation that has and is leaving our ‘ever-growing’ National Debt approaching $17 Trillion.  At the same time, our Judiciary, our ‘public schools’, and our Liberal elected and appointed bureaucrats are ignoring and/or disobeying our Constitution, US Code, and our States’ General Statutes.  Active elected and appointed Democrats and ‘Democrat look-alikes’ masked as ‘RINO’ Republicans are guiding our declining communities with more unfeeling, senseless, and lawless activity.  Our nation is becoming a ‘nation of individuals’ as our freedoms slide away from a ‘system of laws’.

There is more to being a ‘sincere’ Republican Party candidate than putting an ‘R’ beside any individual’s name.  A ‘genuine’ Republican Party candidate will support at least 80% of our ‘social, fiscal, and National Security’ issues as defined in our Republican Party ‘Platform’.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) must save our Republican Party’s ‘donor dollars’ in providing support for responsible GOP candidates who will support the GOP Platform, and to save our USA.  (Y)our Republican Party ‘Platform’ is a roadmap; lead yourself, or follow others to greatness in America.  Help all ‘devoted’ true Republican Party candidates make it happen!

A Christian-owned chain of hobby shops is facing a bitter backlash after suing the Obama administration over new requirements to provide insured employees with contraceptive and abortion coverage.

Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby filed the suit Sept. 12 in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City, alleging that the ObamaCare mandate violates the religious beliefs of the company's owners. The suit followed similar suits by Catholic colleges and a Denver-based company whose owners also objected to the mandate on religious grounds. While a judge has not yet ruled on Hobby Lobby's suit, a Facebook page calling for a boycott of the company, which operates 500 stores in 41 states, has appeared online, and several other forums have featured posts urging customers to steer clear of Hobby Lobby.

“I’m boycotting Hobby Lobby!” reads the heading of one posting on image posting site Flickr. “Even if you're pro-life this kind of action stinks to high heaven! If things like this can be allowed then what's next?!,” the user added.

“They’re being told they have two choices. Either follow their faith and pay the government half-a-billion dollars or give up their beliefs."

- Lori Windham, attorney for Hobby Lobby

Others have taken to social media to protest against Hobby Lobby, with a “Boycott Hobby Lobby” page on Facebook.

“I've been to two Hobby Lobby parking lots today and they were fairly empty. I used to have trouble finding a parking spot!” read one posting from the administrator of the Boycott page. “I think the boycott is catching on! I do not think they are getting the reaction they hoped for.”

Hobby Lobby owner David Green is a devout Baptist who owns one of the world's largest collections of Biblical artifacts. The Barret Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents Green in his suit, argued that compliance with the offending portion of the health care law that the nature of their suit is “would force religiously-motivated business owners like plaintiffs to violate their faith under the threats of millions of dollars in fines.”

Lawyers argued that company employees are well aware of Green's views and their bearing on the company.

“The Green family’s business practices ... reflect their Christian faith in unmistakable and concrete ways,” the complaint states. The company employs full-time chaplains; close all store locations on Sundays and monitors all marketing and operations to make sure that it is consistent with their beliefs.

Failure to comply with the mandate could subject the company to as much as $1.3 million in daily fines, according to Barret Fund attorneys.

"They’re being told they have two choices: Either follow their faith and pay the government half a billion dollars or give up their beliefs," Lori Windham, an attorney from theBarret Fund, told Foxnews.com. "We believe that’s a choice no one should have to make.”

David Green could not be reached for comment, but in a recent USA Today Op-Ed, he blasted the Obama administration for imposing mandates he believes he cannot comply with.

“Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy," Green wrote. "Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right.”

The company does not object to providing coverage that includes birth control pills, but refuses to provide or pay for two specific abortion-inducing drugs such as the so-called "morning after" pill, because Green's "most deeply held religious belief" is that life beginning at conception, the family said in a statement released through its attorneys.

As for the boycott, the company's founders believe customers have the right to vote with their feet.

"The Green family respects every individual's right to free speech and hopes that others will respect their rights also, including the right to live and do business according to their religious beliefs.," the statement said.

Hobby Lobby is believed to be the first non-Catholic company to file an objection to the healthcare mandate. The Newland family, the devoutly Catholic owners of Denver-based Hercules Industries filed a similar suit this past summer and won a court injunction that ruled that they are not obligated to follow the mandate.

“I think the law and precedent set by this case is very strong for Hobby Lobby and the Green Family,” Windham said.

Obama’s Historic Presidency

http://noisyroom.net/blog/2012/06/14/obamas-historic-presidency/

By: AJ
Hat Tip: MJ

“Historic” may be an understatement when describing Barack Obama’s Presidency.  When we consider what Obama has done in his first term, it is easy to see that he has excelled in many areas that prior President’s have never thought to tread.  As we explore some of Obama’s historic achievements, his definition of “change” becomes clearer.

Unemployed College Graduates: For the first time in US history, there are more jobless people who attended college than those who didn’t; a historic Obama achievement.

Poverty: The US now has the highest poverty rate – ever!  All prior Presidents failed to plunge more families into poverty than Obama.  Imagine how many more families can slide into poverty if Obama gets a second term.  He’ll be able to beat his own historic record.

Food Stamps: Obama has broken all records when it comes to doling out food stamps.  Before Obama’s Presidency, $39 billion from taxpayers was spent for food stamp recipients.  In 2012, $81 billion is now spent on food stamps thanks to Obama’s historic increase in less than 4 years in office.  He’s done an outstanding job of implementing the Cloward & Piven strategy.

Unemployment Rate: If the labor force was the same size now as when Obama took office, unemployment is at 11%.  The historic decline of the US labor force during Obama’s Presidency has put us back to what it was in 1981.  If we include people who are underemployed in today’s labor force, the unemployment rate is actually 14%.  Even if we consider the BLS unemployment rate, which was 7.3% when Obama took office, we know he promised it wouldn’t hit 8%.  Well, it has remained above 8% throughout his Presidency and has remained high for the longest time-period in recorded history.  Obama has decreased private sector jobs and increased government jobs.  Since there are 7.7 million less working people since Obama took office, his current claim that he created over 4 million jobs is nothing short of a historic lie.

Economic Recovery: In 2008 under President Bush, TARP was a massive, and arguably deceptive spending bill designed to avert a professed financial collapse when the Carter-Clinton-Cuomo “Community Reinvestment Act” chickens finally came home to roost. Just months later when Obama took office in 2009, he doubled-down with his Omnibus bill (filled with 9000 earmarks, which he signed behind closed doors), the largest Stimulus spending bill in US history, plus other 2009 spending bills passed by the Democrat-controlled House and Senate totaling $4+ trillion.  Despite the most massive government spending in one year by any President – ever – Obama has managed to ensure the worst economic recovery – in history!  But wait… Obama’s historic achievement gets better… since the Harry Reid-controlled Senate has refused to pass a budget each year since Obama’s 2009 $4+ trillion spending bills, continuing resolutions have refunded all of those bills.  That’s right – all of Obama’s 2009 spending bills, including the failed 2009 Stimulus bill, get refunded each and every year (so we’ve had 4 Obama Stimulus’ since he took office).  Truly historic, isn’t it?

Household Net Worth: “The Federal Reserve said the median net worth of families plunged by 39 percent in just three years, from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. That puts Americans roughly on par with where they were in 1992.”  Obama’s historic achievement sealed the deal on setting American families back 20 years.  Just imagine how much farther back we’ll be if Obama is re-elected.

Gas Prices: The nationwide average was $1.84 per gallon of regular gas when Obama took office and it’s never looked back.  Obama said that under his plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket.  Obama is the first US President to fulfill such a promise with deliberate intent to cause significant, daily financial impact to all Americans.

Food Prices: Compare your family’s food expense to what you were paying less than 4 years ago and you’ll see the steep rise in food prices… not to mention the shrinking package sizes.  Obama has seized on the rising food prices by inspiring large cities throughout the nation to ban Americans from feeding the hungry and donating to food banks.  No President in the history of our nation has ever taken such a historic step.

Home Ownership: Obama’s historic success reversed 46 years of progress made by American families when home ownership hit its lowest level since 1965 on his watch and despite all his mortgage bailout gimmicks, slush funds and massive bailouts for government-owned-and-operated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Corporate Tax Rate: Thanks to Obama, the US enjoys the highest jobs-killing corporate income tax rate in the industrialized world! Businesses are handing over more of their hard-earned dollars to Obama than in any other industrialized country on the planet.  This is a historic achievement which enables businesses to feed Obama’s government leviathan rather than spend that money on salaries and benefits for new employees.

National Debt: Obama has spent more of our money than any head-of-state in the history of the world.  In less than 4 years, Obama succeeded in over-spending by over $5 trillion, causing our national debt to rise beyond our entire yearly US GDP. In other words, he spent all of the $2 to $3 trillion per year that taxpayers gave him, plus an additional $1.3 trillion each year, which caused an accumulated debt in excess of $5 trillion in less than 4 years.  [Note: National Debt was $10.6 trillion when Obama took office; it’s now nearly $16 trillion].  In addition, the amount of US Debt held by the Federal Reserve (a private banking cartel) increased by a historic 452% under Obama and now sits at $1.688 Trillion.

US Credit Rating: For the first time in the history of our nation, we lost our AAA credit rating.  No other US President has ever achieved this.  Obama’s accomplishment in this area is absolutely historic.

Industry Takeovers: Food, healthcare, banks, student loans, energy, land, homes, farms, cars, water, the internet, the media… and the list goes on.  Obama has taken over more private sector industries than any other President in history.  In addition to nationalizing numerous industries to put an end to our pesky free market system that’s made America the most generous, advanced and prosperous nation the world has ever known, Obama’s masterful assault extends to controlling what we, as individuals, must do and cannot do with regard to our own bodies, our faith, our families and all other aspects of our lives.  Obama’s historic achievement in this arena is unprecedented.

Small Businesses: Remember when Bush opened the door for Obama to take over the auto industry and dealerships were forced to close?  Obama hand-picked and dictated the closure of dealerships owned by people who leaned ‘right’ politically.  Also, from the start of his Presidency, to the outrageous assault against Gibson Guitars, to all the people Obama put out of business (fishermen, farmers, workers in the oil, coal and natural gas industry, retailers, restaurants, etc.), to the burdensome regulations from Cass Sunstein that prevent people from even starting a business, Obama has waged a historic war against small businesses and has done a spectacular job of de-industrializing America.  If re-elected, we won’t need to worry that our children can no longer put up a lemonade stand or have a bake sale; we’ll be worried about feeding our children.  Obama’s mission of transforming America into a third world country will be complete – something no US President in the history of our nation has ever even attempted.

Religion: Obama is carrying out the most intense and vicious attack against religion, in violation of the first amendment, than any President in the history of our nation.  As David Barton said, “The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.”

United Nations: Obama is the first US President ever to preside over the United Nations.  Our Constitution forbids it, but Obama wouldn’t be historic if he followed the laws of our land.

Russia: “Believing himself off the record, President Obama, then in Russia, leaned over to outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and said in reference to prospective negotiations on reduction of American missile defenses: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” In response, Medvedev replied in English, “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladmir,” meaning to incoming President (and de facto Russian dictator) Vladmir Putin.”

National Security Leaks: Obama’s White House is responsible for the most dangerous and numerous national security leaks of our time.  Costing Navy Seals and Special Ops Forces their lives, Obama released the identities of those who took out Osama Bin Laden.  Also, from the Stuxnet cyber warfare against Iran – to Obama’s kill list- to the 2009 release of CIA memos – to divulging Britain’s defense secrets to Russia – to revealing Israel’s defense secrets to Iran – to drone strikes – to releasing details about the newest underwear bomb device, Obama’s White House has been on a treasonous rampage by publicizing information that threatens national security and puts American lives and U.S. interests at risk.  What adds to the historic nature of these crimes is Congress’ inability to appoint a Special Council to investigate.  Obama has decided to have his Department of Injustice (Eric Holder) appoint special prosecutors to investigate the executive branch AND the legislature.  Really?  Unbelievable, isn’t it?  Perhaps Eric Holder will want Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to be the first legislator investigated since she publicly stated, “I’ve been on the Intelligence Committee for 11 years and I have never seen it worse, I can tell you that” regarding the Obama White House leaks.

Black Panthers: Obama’s injustice department dropped the charges against Defendants in the worst case of voter intimidation in our lifetime.  Obama’s historic mandate, carried out by Eric Holder ensures that the pursuit of justice is based solely on skin color.  Violating our anti-discrimination laws – in other words, letting criminals get away with their crimes based solely on the color of their skin – is truly historic and reverses everything we accomplished regarding Civil Rights that ensure all men are treated equally regardless of the color of their skin.

Fast and Furious: In 2009, Obama’s DOJ rolled out their new “Fast and Furious” gun program (after Obama and Hilary Clinton falsely claimed that 90% of the foreign guns found in Mexico come from the US).  Obama’s new program sent thousands of US guns to Mexican drug cartels, gangs and murderers who used them to kill Mexicans and Americans.  There are many historic aspects to what Obama did, not the least of which is that he and Eric Holder have yet to be held accountable for their crimes.  If you think Watergate was bad, it’s nothing compared to this.  The mainstream media silence is deafening – and also historic.

Beheading’s in America: Obama’s open-border policy is a historic success and the beheading’s that have been happening in Mexico are now occurring here on American soil.

Suing States: For the first time in history, this President is not only suing states that are trying to protect Americans from foreign enemies who cross our borders (i.e. states are trying to enforce the laws of our land that Obama refuses to enforce), but Obama has taken it to an unimaginable level.  He teamed up with dictators from other countries to jointly fight against US states that are trying to protect the American people.

Voting: Obama’s historic fight against states that are doing what they’ve always done in cleaning up their voter rolls before an election is unprecedented.  Removing dead people, felons and illegal’s from voter rolls will not be tolerated by Obama.  He’s also fighting states who want voters to show their ID… you know… like showing your ID to his TSA, FBI or at any of his government buildings if you want to enter; showing your ID in stores if you want to buy alcohol, write a check or use a credit card; showing your ID at public schools when you want to buy lunch, at universities or to police when they ask to see it.  Obama’s assault on states trying to ensure free and fair elections is an assault on all of us and marks another historic Obama achievement.

Golf Games: “President Obama is nearing his 100th round of golf — a significant milestone indeed. How many people outside of Florida’s retirement communities have time to play 100 rounds of golf?”

Fundraising: “All told, he has now attended 163 re-election fundraisers for his campaign and the Democratic Party – almost double the number George W. Bush attended in his entire first term (86) and more than any other president in history.”

Lavish Vacations: “The past few years have been a time for sacrifice for many, but not apparently for the Obama’s.”

President’s Work Schedule: Obama’s late-to-rise and partial work days are unprecedented.

There are other areas such as NASA, the NDAA, the war in Libya, the Muslim Brotherhood in our White House, Obama’s role in the Arab Spring, etc. which we’ll explore another time.  For now, when we consider just the items delineated in this article, there is no denying that Obama’s Presidency is historic and the impact he has had on our country is undeniable.

Although his campaign slogan is “Forward,” it is clear he is taking us backward.  Jobs, economic stability, national security, etc… he has taken us backward by decades, as reflected in home ownership at its lowest since 1965, the labor force at its lowest since 1981, poverty, food stamps and debt at their highest level in history…

If this is the kind of change you are happy with, don’t forget to vote for Obama in November… or don’t vote at all because that will help him win too.  But if this is not the kind of change you want, make sure you are registered, get to the polls on voting day and help us make sure that Obama does not get a “historic” second term.

Posted on Soros Files-By Cliff Kincaid-On January 30, 2012:

“My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also newsworthy about the sermon was that he cited The Washington Post in agreement—not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

What is happening is extraordinary and unprecedented. The Catholic Church is in open revolt against the Obama Administration, with Fr. Swink noting from the pulpit that priests across the archdiocese were joining the call on Sunday to rally Catholics to resistance against the U.S. Government. He said we are entering a time of religious persecution and that Catholics and others will have to make a final decision about which side they are on.

The issue is what the Catholic Bishops have called a “literally unconscionable” edict by the Obama Administration demanding that sterilization, abortifacients and contraception be included in virtually all health plans.

At a time when the media are full of reports about who is ahead and behind in the polls, and who will win the next Republican presidential primary, this incredible uprising in the Catholic Church is something that could not only overshadow the political campaign season, but also may have a major impact on the ultimate outcome – if Republicans know how to handle it. This matter goes beyond partisan politics to the growing perception of an unconstitutional Obama Administration assault on religious freedom. To hear the Catholic Bishops and Priests describe it, our constitutional republic and our freedoms hang in the balance.

The administration claims there is a religious exemption in the mandate, but the bishops say it is so narrow that it fails to cover the vast majority of faith-based organizations, including Catholic hospitals, universities and service organizations that help millions every year. “Ironically,” they say, “not even Jesus & his disciples would have qualified.”

The bishops go on, “Now that the Administration has refused to recognize the Constitutional conscience rights of organizations and individuals who oppose the mandate, the bishops are now urging Catholics and others of good will to fight this unprecedented attack on conscience rights and religious liberty.”

Obama is at war with the Catholic Church:

By Cliff Kincaid

Interestingly, The Washington Post, as Father Swink indicated, agrees with the bishops. The paper said, “In this circumstance, requiring a religiously affiliated employer to spend its own money in a way that violates its religious principles does not make an adequate accommodation for those deeply held views. Having recognized the principle of a religious exemption, the administration should have expanded it.”

So why would the administration pick a major fight with the Catholic Church? There are two main reasons. (1) The administration wants to please its progressive and feminist, secular pro-abortion base. (2) The administration believes Catholics are divided on the issue and will ignore their leaders and follow Obama.

Support for the latter explanation comes in the form of the Obama Administration’s efforts to co-opt the Catholic Church, primarily through appointing nominal Catholics to high-level positions in government and keeping funding going to the church for “social justice” causes. Another player in this effort is the hedge-fund billionaire George Soros, an atheist who nevertheless has found groups that are “Catholic in name only” to accept his financial largesse. These groups, including Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, are designed to give the impression that Catholics are less concerned about issues like stopping abortion and protecting the sanctity of traditional marriage than passing government health care.  The Obama/Soros gamble may be backfiring.

It’s true that the bishops went along with Obama’s health care scheme, even lobbying on its behalf. But now they seem to be realizing that the plan was a Trojan Horse designed to force population control measures on the people of the United States. It will be difficult for the bishops to continue working with the administration on other issues, like immigration. They have drawn a line in the sand. They cannot back down.

Father Larry Swink of Jesus The Divine Word Catholic Church in Huntingtown, Maryland, is not alone in his tough language. Pittsburgh Bishop David A. Zubik posted a letter on the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh’s website that said, “It is really hard to believe that it happened. It comes like a slap in the face. The Obama administration has just told the Catholics of the United States, ‘To Hell with you!’ There is no other way to put it.” He added, “This whole process of mandating these guidelines undermines the democratic process itself.  In this instance, the mandate declares pregnancy a disease, forces a culture of contraception and abortion on society, all while completely bypassing the legislative process.”

You know it’s serious when the bishops are talking about heaven and hell.

Indeed, Fr. Swink opened his discussion of what he described as the evil nature of the Obama Administration by reading from scripture about Jesus casting out demons. He saw the order on health care coverage as the start of religious persecution. The congregation joined him in calls of “Amen” when he challenged them to stand tall with the church.

You cannot expect the secular Washington Post to go along with such rhetoric. But even its liberal editorial writer saw the ramifications of the health care order, perhaps anticipating the confrontation that we now see developing. From the point of view of this liberal paper, the Obama Administration is not only undermining religious freedom but risking a major backlash to its overall “progressive” agenda and even a second term in office.

Some may see this battle as just another church-state dust-up that will be resolved through litigation. But when apocalyptic imagery is used, such as what I heard at my church on Sunday, one must wonder if there is an awakening on the part of the Catholic community and if there is something else going on here besides politics as usual. In short, is the Catholic Church beginning to finally recognize the real nature of the Obama Administration?

IMPORTANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

By Cliff Kincaid

The critical role of the Catholic Church in passing national health care reform legislation is coming under serious media scrutiny. But the story has taken a strange turn. It has now been revealed that George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator and well-known atheist, has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into “progressive” Catholic groups that are significant players in the national debates over health care and immigration.

On the surface, it would appear that Soros would be opposed to many positions of the Catholic Church. A major financial backer of the ACLU, Soros supports such causes as drug legalization, the rights of “sex workers” and felons, euthanasia, radical feminism, abortion rights, and homosexual rights. He does all of this in the name of promoting an “open society.”

But a review of the records of his Open Society Institute finds that a group calling itself Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) has received $200,000 over the last several years.

James Todd of the Pewsitter.com web site, which represents traditional Catholics, calls such groups “CINOs,” or Catholics In Name Only. He explains, “This group and several others have sprung up recently — I suspect purposely organized and funded  — to counterbalance the growing influence of the faithful Catholics AND to try to deceive and mislead the middle of the road Catholics that have determined the last 13 Presidential elections.”

An investigation also finds, however, that Soros money has gone into the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC), an organization established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops back in 1988. It has received at least $530,000 from the Open Society Institute.

The two issues merge in the fact that the Catholic Bishops are demanding that national health care legislation cover illegal aliens.

In a story headlined, “Religious Leaders Seek Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants,” the Los Angeles Times recently quoted Kathy Saile, director of domestic social development with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as saying that illegal immigrants should be included in any healthcare reform plan. Father Richard Estrada of Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Los Angeles was described as being part of a religious service and phone bank “to urge congressional leaders to include illegal immigrants in any healthcare reform plan.” His church has in the past offered sanctuary to illegal immigrants.

CACG played a role in House passage of H.R. 3962, the bill known as Pelosicare and boasts that it had joined with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Catholic Health Association, and “dozens of other Catholic and faith-based groups in celebrating this historic vote.”

The group’s blog even offered a “Health Care Reform Prayer,” asking for God’s help in passing federal legislation.

John Gehring, CACG media director, said that, “We have been primarily focused on highlighting the moral dimensions of this issue and articulating how Catholic social teaching addresses health care as a human right central to a just society. Along with other faith-based groups like PICO National Network, Faith in Public Life, Sojourners and others we brought citizens and faith leaders to Capitol Hill several weeks ago to meet with representatives and they emphasized the urgency for reform and specifically the critical issue of affordability. For example, Fr. Joseph Shad, S.J., a hospital chaplain at Mercy Hospital in Portland, Maine, came to Capitol Hill and met with representatives. He shared stories we have collected from citizens across the country as part of our project, Voices for Health Reform.”

On the passage of the Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962, CACG said, “As Catholics, we applaud the efforts of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Bart Stupak, and others who helped extend current restrictions on federal funding of abortion to health plans participating in the public [health] exchanges.”

But Judie Brown of the American Life League says the provision doesn’t go far enough and accuses the Bishops who lobbied for passage of wanting “mandatory, government-run health care for one and all more than it desires the protection of all vulnerable human beings’ right to life.”

The anti-abortion restrictions, Brown points out, still permit federal funding of abortions in some circumstances.

Meanwhile, Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute says that “Catholics should be outraged at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops” because while they succeeded in getting a pro-abortion provision dropped from the bill, they “abandoned the Church’s doctrine of subsidiarity by endorsing the rest of the Democrats’ plan to centralize power in Washington.” Cannon says his grandfather served as counsel to the Bishops.

But the Soros-funded Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has high-level connections of its own. The Treasurer-Secretary is Francis Xavier Doyle, a former top official of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the Executive director is Victoria Kovari, a former organizer for the Gamaliel Foundation, the same group that helped launch Barack Obama’s career as a community organizer in Chicago. The chairman is Alfred M. Rotondaro, a senior fellow at another Soros-funded group, the Center for American Progress.

Although CACG describes itself as “a lay Catholic organization that works to promote the common good and the broad spectrum of Catholic social teaching,”Frank Walker of the conservative Pewsitter website labels it a religious and political Trojan Horse designed to mislead Catholics and produce votes for the Democratic Party.

One purpose of the Soros money, Walker says, is to play down the importance of the issue of abortion to Catholics and even make abortion rights a “respectable” Catholic position.

Walker notes that, “The CACG is run and advised by powerful Democrats.  Their board, staff, and advisory committee include top fundraisers and strategists as well as major labor union representation.” He adds, “Catholic Church Leadership from the Sisters of Mercy, the Jesuit order, the government-funded Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services are also represented at CACG.  Catholic academia has a strong presence.”

Indeed, the CACG advisory council includes figures from the Service Employees Union (SEIU), AFL-CIO, Catholic University of America, Georgetown University, and Boston College.

In addition to health care reform, other big issues for CACG are “immigration reform” and “worker justice.” The latter links to a group promoting a bill, the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier for unions to gain members.

The SEIU representative on the CACG board is Tom Chabolla, who serves as assistant to SEIU President Andy Stern. Before joining SEIU, he was associate director of programs for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), the agency of the Bishops that funded ACORN to the tune of $7.3 million over the last decade. Funding of ACORN – but not to groups like Gamaliel – has been suspended by the Bishops.

Gamaliel says on its website that says, “Barack H. Obama, former Gamaliel organizer, is the 44^th president of the United States,” and that this makes the organizing community proud. It also has a story about Obama friend and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett speaking to a Gamaliel event in Washington, D.C. of 2500 activists. Jarrett is the official who said that “we” had recruited communist Van Jones to the White House. Another speaker was Melody Barnes, Obama’s Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Before coming to the White House, Barnes was the executive vice president for Policy at the Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP).  Van Jones also worked at CAP before going to the White House. CAP CEO and President John Podesta, who served as President Clinton’s chief of staff, is a major “progressive Catholic” and member of the ACORN advisory council who served as a professor at Georgetown University.

Interestingly, Tom Chabolla of the SEIU and formerly of the CCHD was on the dinner committee for the 33^rd Annual Hubert H. Humphrey Civil Rights Award Dinner, which was held on May 7, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

One of the award winners was none other than Van Jones.

On Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, Catholics across the country will be asked to support the CCHD with their financial offerings. Gamaliel is appealing for support, saying that it is “under attack from those with a partisan agenda to de-fund groups committed to organizing for social justice.” It says. “Many Gamaliel Foundation affiliates rely on funding from CCHD to serve their communities.”

But Gamaliel also relies on George Soros. His Open Society Institute provided $300,000 to the organization in 2008.”

As Islamic sects fight for control of the USA and the world, “WE THE PEOPLE” must decide what our founding fathers meant by “Freedom of Religion”. Could they have meant secular humanism “freedom from Religion” where anything goes or did they mean Islam the strictest cult^[1] known to man?

We continue to remove the Judeo-Christian  biblical laws that define our existence from court houses^[2] and embrace Sharia law[3]. How much longer before we look like London in flames or one of the Stone Age countries of Islam?

Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story wondered if we could survive as a nation if we did not teach our children about religion (Specifically the Christian Religion) and morality as restraints upon the liberal sensual desires of freemen, (secular humanists).

The central question of 2012 is how do “we the people” define Religion?

It now appears as only a matter of time until the United States of America, which Islam has “deemed amenable to take over action”, will be just another Islamic country. And as they say time is on their side.

God is clearly giving us a choice as a nation.

What sets America apart from the rest of the world? Why is the United States of America the most powerful nation in history? The answer to both questions is the same, God’s blessings. We began as a Christian Nation based on the Biblical concept of freedom of choice.

What do you believe?  See the attached document: A dispute over Religion  A%20dispute%20over%20Religion-1.doc

Where do we want to go as a country? I choose the way of the cross!

I love the song by Elvis: “One Pair of Hands”

It's not Elvis people. His name is Carroll Roberson. The song is beautiful regardless of who sings it.

Still it shows how easily  we can be misled by something that sounds so real so dear to our hearts.  Religion is like that, you must know what you believe put aside familial values and social traditions and become accountable for your own thoughts and actions for all will eventually stand before the judgment seat of God!.

Islam is portrayed as a religion of peace although it’s cult like mind control teaches from an early age that the individual has no freedom to make decisions that all things including his time of death have been determined by Allah.  Islamic teachings make no distinction between political and religious activity. There can be no separation of Church and State with Islam. The State is always subservient to Islamic religious leaders who have a plan to achieve a new world order the ultimate goal being a truly and fully, united Islamic world. (Sunni or Shia is the debate within Islam)

Islamic people are also breeding themselves into power around the world and in the USA. (see Farrakhan’s speech from New Orleans in 60’s) Mosques and Islamic schools of every sectarian type are being located by the thousands in the USA. They blend into the fabric of our nation, even reaching into our school texts books teaching Islam as taught by these 25 principles. Availability, compassion, co-operation, cleanliness, community spirit, dependability, diligence, discernment, enthusiasm, faith, forgiveness, generosity, gratefulness, humility, integrity, loyalty, obedience, orderliness, patience, responsibility, respect, self-control, sincerity, tolerance and truthfulness. Islamic history and culture must be taught in the USA “to bridge the gap of understanding between East and West if we ever hope to experience a future of peace and prosperity", it sounds great, until you become aware that this is by design a program, a well developed Iranian plan of action, to convert the people of America to Islam.

Every school, every city, every state, and every political institution in America now has a pro Islamic toe hold. The total number of Muslims in the USA is now in the millions, of which given the percentage of radicals in the total Muslim population around the world we can deduce that we have a potential of 300,000 radical jihadists within our borders.

Jihadists take the long view, and will work with anyone to undermine the U.S. and its allies. Remember, Shia Iran has allied with Sunni terrorists groups.

All Islamists know that western civilization is the primary impediment to their plans for a global caliphate. Jihadists feel it is better to bring western civilization, arm-in-arm with socialists and other radicals, and figure out who will rule once the dust settles.

In their view victory is assured only the U.S., Britain, and a handful of others truly stand in their way, which makes any subversive, radical leftist movement in those countries a useful short-term ally.  No Islamic state in the world allows the Bible or open preaching of the Christian religion within its borders. What does the future hold for radical leftist and socialist in an Islamic state?

A point of history to remember: Al Qaeda emerged from the victory of the mujahadeen over Communist Russia. In their view, the jihadists beat the communists once, so they think the next time around the less ferocious socialists, and secular humanists would be an easy adversary.

As a nation the very strength of our system is being used against us as our individual freedoms are being used by foreigners to change the system to their liking. We are loosing our identity; we are no longer a Christian nation but a Godless secular nation. Our Christian religion takes a back seat to everything. We are now in a post-Christian, post-Western cultural crisis which threatens the very heart of our culture. With open and vulnerable borders and populations divided by language, race and religion we have become politically weak and divided as a nation. A house divided cannot stand.

Islam must stop all political activity or be treated as a political organization or cult not a religion.

Radical Secular Humanism should be treated as a religion and not allowed to control the politics in the United States of America.

As a nation we need to come to terms with our past and plan for the future. While we still can, we should acknowledge that our legal and governmental structure is based on a Judeo-Christian world view and English should be our official language. If not, we will loose both and cease to be a distinct people, and a distinct nation. Our national existence is at stake here. As citizens of the United States of America we are like a family that quarrels and fights bitterly within until such time as the enemy is at the door except in this case we have already invited them into the house. How many of the unknown visitors, illegal immigrants and foreign religious establishments are predatory? How many are established and supported by foreign governments or radical groups? Is there a plan for jihad in America? How should the American family deal with the threat? If the visitors come with a sword in its hand, the family forgets its quarrels and fights as one against the people who want to possess its land.

The current war is much more subtle than that. In an atmosphere of political correctness and international civility, the USA is at a terrible disadvantage; the war is not threatening enough to distract us from our own struggles. The war is seen as over there, and we should get ourselves out.  However, when the Islamic visitors, or immigrants, come to our door they have their eyes on everything in the house, they are more like jewel thieves than vandals. There is no sword in their hand but a plan in the making a war of public diplomacy. They seek to change our current society into one reflecting the nature of their homeland. We cannot have an enemy within our borders left free to destroy us, whether slowly or quickly.

“We The People” must TAKE ACTION to support the sanctity of our national borders and the continued existence of the United States of America, her Constitution and Constitutional government, and the strengthening and restoration of what's left of Judeo-Christian Culture.

Likewise, “We The People” must oppose all international cross-border efforts by Islam, whose ultimate goal is one world Ummah, requiring the systematic destruction of all other religions.

“We The People” must TAKE ACTION to make this so called cultural bridge to close the gap of understanding between East and West a two way bridge. “We The People” fully expect that all Islamic organizations would translate US History, our constitution and declaration of Independence into there own languages and make provision for distribution of those documents into the areas of the world from which they came.

Fear must not be allowed to rule our decisions. I do not fear Islam and Islam should not fear the USA and Christianity.

Religion is good, religion is a sensitive topic, religion has no place in politics or contreversy. Their are about 21 different major religions so according to the "hard core beleivers" 20 of the religions are wrong. Beleive in whatever you wish, whatever makes you sleep good at night. One should not receive any special privledges for their religion nor should they be aloud to have holy wars. Most of our founding fathers were deist as I am. If you are not aware what that is, look it up. It is the only religion that makes sense. It is peaceful and If the deist community would grow the world would be a much more peaceful place.
