Another First Amendment violation story recently hit the news with little outcry from the public. As our personal freedoms become more eroded by the day, people remain passive on the issue and ignore it as if it means nothing.
Regardless of your social beliefs, you should find the treatment of David and Jason Benham by HGTV troubling. I understand that some disagree with their Christian beliefs but that is certainly not the point nor is it the issue. The issue is that they lost their show on HGTV not because of what they did but what they believed.
While rapists, wife beaters, cheaters and crooks run rife in many of the professional sports leagues (and in Congress), we don’t kick those players out or ban the sport from TV. Instead, we continue to watch the game despite the immorality which takes place in them.
So what is the media now saying? The only thing worse than being a rapist, wife beater, cheater and crook is being a Christian or having conservative beliefs? This is absurd.
We are now finding censorship going to a whole new level. Will conservative checks now be done for every profession? If you attended a mass in which the pastor or priest demonized abortion, could you be out of a job. Will going to church like in the early Christian Roman days get you arrested?
We are heading to this point. My great grandfather was the first Martino to come to the USA in the early 20th century. He left Italy after he and his other 3 brothers were arrested for attending a democratic rally. His 3 brothers died in jail, and he came here to start a better life—in a place where freedom of speech was guaranteed by law.
Where has that guarantee gone? Now, we must censor our private lives to conform to the public norms? Are we living in Nazi Germany or some new 21st century fascist country?
We are quickly headed down the slippery slope of demagogy. Let us not slip too far before we can no longer get up.

Commentary by: Gordon King
America is on a downfall, a downward spiral in terms of morals and values. The once cherished beliefs and patriotism which built this nation are now thought of as evil and demoralizing. “Political Correctness” is the term of the day. Acceptance and tolerance of everything imaginable is now being accepted as the new moral standard in America.
Rejection of this view-point labels you as an outsider, a trouble maker, and Un-American. We shall see in the near future, as we are now beginning to see, the intolerant views and attitudes towards such people. For example Christian Americans. If you are a Christian American and hold to your beliefs, then you shall be persecuted for your faith. You are labeled as a trouble maker, a rebel, and a danger to the government and society at large.
There is a danger in this other than the obvious, that Christians will be persecuted. The other danger is the judgment of America. America is quickly heading into the abyss. The depths of which we have never known. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? They did not escape God’s punishment upon them, neither shall we.
As a country founded on the principles of God Almighty, with God leading the pack, America has been a truly blessed nation. But, as time has gone by, as sin has increased, as our government has not only pushed God aside, but has pushed Him out of political and public life, we are setting ourselves up for disaster. It would have been better for us not to have placed our trust and faith in Him in the first place, then to have pushed Him away as we have done.
My question is: “Have we passed the point of no return?” Is God so angered with us that his judgment upon us is inevitable? My opinion is that we have not reached that point yet. There is still time to change. To accept God back into our government, and our society. To repent of our sins and beg God for His mercy and forgiveness upon us. This is the only way. We must accept our creator and trust in Him and Him alone. But our time is short. We are falling quickly with no end in sight.
If my people, which are called by my Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
( II Chronicles 7:14 KJV 1611 AV )!!
We must all ask our Father in heaven to forgive us, repent of our sins and the sins of our nation, and accept Him as the one and only God of our lives and country. We must pray for our political leaders and countrymen and women who have pushed God out of their lives. We must pray for the softening of their hearts, for their enlightenment of the truth, and for their salvation through Jesus Christ. It is the only way my friends, the only way!
God Bless!

Poll: Is the United States headed towards a Civil War?
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death This is the complete text of Patrick Henry's speech at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23, 1775. No man, Mr. President, thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony.
The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free — if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending — if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained — we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! |

Mr. Steven Slazinik
IRS Criminal Investigation Unit
Phoenix, AZ 85012
Dear Steve:
Enclosed for your review is documentation regarding tax fraud that I believe occurred in 1991. The best case scenario is that the individual filed his tax return but failed to pay required employer & employee social security taxes. Worst case scenario the individual failed to file a tax return for 1990.
I believe the fraud penalty would apply since the individual was a recent graduate of Harvard Law School and as expert on constitutional law would have “had knowledge of its falsity and intended that it be acted upon or accepted as the truth”.
FRAUD OVERVIEW
Tom Draper reported in GQ Magazine’s November 2009 issue (www.gq.com) that President Obama signed a six-figure contract with Poseidon Press on November 28, 1990. The exact amount was reported as $150,000 by Christopher Andersen in his book Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage. According to Jack Cahill, Barack Obama was advanced $75,000 for the book. It’s not unusual in the publishing business to receive one-third to one-half of the contract value upfront. However, a $75,000 advance would have required a recent law school graduate strapped with heavy student debt to pay the IRS $25,000 four and ½ months later. I have been a CPA for 34 years and I’m Certified in Financial Forensics. In 1988 I was hired by the Arizona House of Representative in the Senate Impeachment Trial of Governor Evan Mecham. My forensic analysis of an improper $80,000 loan from a political fund to a private car dealership justified the Impeachment of Governor Mecham.
HISTORY OF INCOMPETENT TAX PREPARATION
In the fall of 2012 I reviewed the tax returns of both presidential candidates. During my analysis of President Obama’s 2001 Individual Tax Return, I found 10 math errors. The errors were simple arithmetic errors and confirmed a high level of tax incompetency. President Obama’s 2001 tax return wasn’t signed by a paid preparer. I verified that the Obama’s prepared three different drafts of their 2001 tax return. The first draft calculated an income tax liability of $79,000. This would have required taxable income of $271,000. In contrast, President Obama’s website shows 2001 taxable income of $250,000. President Obama ended up paying income tax on $21,000 of phantom income that resulted in sending Uncle Sam an extra +$7,300. Based on the fact that Barack Obama used bits and pieces from three different 2001 tax drafts, made 10 errors, overpaid his taxes by $7,300 by claiming $21,000 of phantom income, President Obama lacked the necessary competency to correctly prepare his taxes.
I believe President Obama committed tax fraud in 1991 by mishandling a $75,000 book advance he received from Poseidon Press in November of 1990. I have calculated two tax scenarios: 1) failed to pay social security taxes and owes IRS $43,000 or 2) failed to report $75,000 currently owes the US Treasury in excess of $130,000. Failure to file and pay income taxes is a federal felony
There are two methods to verify that Barack Obama committed tax fraud. Congress has given the Whistleblower Office the authority to hire experts for our expertise in order to expedite the fraud investigation. I will agree to waive my hourly billing rate of $225.00. I estimate that the fraud investigation of President Obama can be completed in 1 minute!
Stand by. Worse is to come. There is no bottom of filth for leftists. We need to fight back and for the long run as in 50, 75 or 100 years, just like the left has.
Start with your local school board elections. No more "Heather Has Two Mommies". No more Christian songs twisted into praise Barack songs. No more 14 year old girls forced to deep kiss each other as "an exercise in sensitivity."
Preachers, practise what you preach. Start going to jail for your beliefs. You rank and file Christians too. Look what your Savior endured!
NO guns save in self defense!

Open letter to the San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro:
Mr. Mayor you need to wake-up and see the reality, we are on a dangerous path primarily because of overbearing public-employee unions. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20140428-719143.html
Our future depends on fiscal responsibility and our ability to maintain our city operating cost low to enable to pay our debt as soon as possible and be able to pay for future essential city projects that will be of benefit to the people of San Antonio. Mr. Mayor you and the city council, must review city employees wage and benefit and re-negotiate severance package. Since 2005 when city manager Sheryl Sculley was hire, our long term liability (Debt) went from 1,613,274 to 2,593,223. 14.3% of our city budget goes to pay for this deb payment and our cost of public safety (Police and Fire Dept.) is 66.5% (657,190,952) of the city budget; those two items eats most of our budget, while on education we contribute less that the half of the cost.
Mr. Mayor your economic impact invisibility must end. Policymakers and city administrators must recognize the economic value of a good city planning to deal with transportation, water supply clean environment, mobility and the cost of living of the people of San Antonio and take that into account in their decision-making. Otherwise, we can forget about improving our “quality of life.” And deal with the results of your incompetence and possible bankruptcy. You need to take some time and learn about the demise of some cities in our country due to incompetence, vision and common sense .
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/municipalities-declared-bankruptcy/
http://www.governing.com/gov-data/municipal-cities-counties-bankruptcies-and-defaults.html
The Solution is clear, stop the debt trap, this whole culture to get what we want with money that we don’t have and not pay for it until tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow must end. http://cacs.org/ca/article/85
The immediate solution is: Stop the unions from leading San Antonio to an imminent bankruptcy. Most city police and fire dept. employees are over pay including the city manager Sheryl Sculley and city employees. However, longer-term structural opportunities must also be addressed plan and execute it by implementing a system analyzes of continue improvements and effectiveness by reducing waste.
1- Untenable pension contracts need to end and benefits reduced, end defined benefit pension plans for public union workers; to avoid an imminent bankruptcy and secure the employment of city employees.
2- End any future collective bargaining for public union workers. Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin has proven that can be done.
3- Institute our Texas right-to-work laws.
4- Implement a system of merit pay for teachers
5- More competition from accredited online schools to drive education costs way down
6- Support local run schools for improving education.
7- End student loan programs that only benefit administrators and educators, not the students.
8- Enforce our 30 days register your vehicle in Texas. We have thousands that move to Texas and do not register their vehicle in Texas.
9- One question we must ask. Where is the money? 2013 Texas Lottery sales of $4.376 billion resulted in a total contribution of $1.214 billion to the state of Texas.
Mr. Mayor, It’s time to stop overpaying for all city and government-sponsored services including but not limited to police, fire, prison-workers, and education. The vicious, self-serving grip of unions and their political supporters that have on this nation has to end. Texas is a right to work state; our economic should be promoted under a comp set of our Christian principles, values, dignity and hard work.

The coming of the new era.
Americans are in complete denial, most they can't believe that Obama and many of the senators and congressmen are part of the organization that want to destroy the USA. The whole issue is the control and slavery of humanity. The strategy is to use human rights, civil right and economy prosperity for everyone. That is why most people are buying this propaganda. They brainwashed most Americans using this type of propaganda that promoted social justice; but the reality is the opposite. All started with Reagan he was the promoter of free trade and that policy was the beginning of the end of the economy prosperity of the USA and the world. The true is that free trade is the globalization and control of the world economy with only one purpose to create a concentration of wealth capable to own and control the natural resources of the world, the production and distribution of goods by the slavery of humanity. From the 1970 the present time, we have experience a continuous increase of poverty in American and the world, the middle class is disappearing and the elite rich get richer and in control of Washington. I don't want you to believe me, do your own research, seek the truth, use your common sense and be an activist to reclaim your freedom that, is you right and duty; do it for God and our country. God has blessed American the land of the free. Our hope of salvation are the people of faith, the believers of Christ and Jehovah the stewards of God’s creation; they will not let this corrupt system of government to slave God’s people, for the grace of God we are free, that is God’s will and we will not compromise, our faith and courage come from God and his purpose is to save humanity through us his people; this is a manifestation of love and trust on us from God all mighty.
On God I trust and our salvation is through Jesus our Lord.
With quiet dignity a hooded figure revealed himself from the protective ring of trees. Mounting a small hillock he faced the sea of expectant faces. A measured sweep of his hands pulled back the hood to reveal a wizened face framed by a long white beard. For a long moment not a sound was heard or movement evident in the crowd.
The robed figure examined the myriad of faces before him with watery blue eyes that shone with intelligence and understanding. What he saw before him was hope. Hope on faces that only hours before had expressed only despair and fear. Their faces were still haggard but fire now dwelled in eyes that had previously only contained the spent ashes of surrender. His grey cloak marked his as one of the Wise Ones; dedicated to preserving knowledge from the past so that humanity would not have to relive it. Tonight he would be reading a selection from The Chronicles of Chaos. The hushed gathering listened with an intense reverence as the old one began to read from the ancient scroll.
“At the beginning of the Twenty First century a new religion rose to great acclaim and with much fervor. Its followers worshipped an all-powerful god named Political Correctness and a host of minor deities including Diversity, Tolerance, Sensitivity and Inclusion. Its priests were called Professors and they were charged with passing on its teachings to the youth and guarding its most holy of secrets. Collectively, this priesthood was called Academia and they resided in their own communities called Universities. Sustained by the public treasury their power grew and their prestige spread like a swarm of locusts upon the earth.
The elite of the every generation would be turned over to the Professors to be indoctrinated into the new religion. It was at the Universities that the young were taught to despise the old ways and to reject the teachings of their parents. The old traditions, cultures, holidays, religious practices, and beliefs were reviled, trampled and belittled so that they could be replaced in the minds of the young with the new teachings of the new religion. After their period of indoctrination and training the new prostheletizers of Political Correctness would be sent forth to spread its doctrine far and wide.
The fearsome deities of Political Correctness were bloodthirsty and constantly demanded sacrifices to sate their Perpetual Outrage. The lives, careers, reputations and power of countless individuals were sacrificed to appease the ever angry gods and eventually all but a brave or foolish few were forced to acknowledge their supremacy. Their power and influence was everywhere and all feared to say what they truly thought or felt for fear of the great retribution of their fanatical followers. A single word uttered in carelessness or a stray thought out of context was enough for one to be summoned to judgment before those charged with satisfying the never-ending lusts of Political Correctness.
The minor deities also were a dark and foreboding force that had to be appeased. Many were followers of the feminine Right to Choose cult and untold millions of the unborn were sacrificed in an orgy of infanticide on the blood splattered altar of Convenience. The deviant and the perverse demanded, and eventually received, the sacrifice of the once sacred institution of marriage to appease the demands of Equality. And the followers of the high priest Gore and the god Gaea demanded the rejection and reversal of the evil Industrialization. No longer would the Creator be worshipped but only the Creation and isms of Political Correctness. So it was said, and so it was done.
With the growth of the religion of Political Correctness came the persecution of the followers of the One True religion. He who born of a virgin, nailed on a cross and known as the Messiah, Savior and King by his followers was banned from the schools and the public square. Increasingly, his followers were forced to cower behind their church doors as their dwindling leaders were toppled by scandal, arrested and punished for hate speech, or cowed by the new religion. Many of this priestly class of the Old Religion became converts of Political Correctness and even taught its doctrine in their houses of worship.
There are those who believe that the religion of Political Correctness was derived from the horrendous worship of the dark god Marxism whose victims had numbered in the hundreds of millions before he was cast out of the great temple of ideology and his followers mocked and discredited. But their last adherents had been among the Professors and many believed the worship of Multiculturalism, Diversity and Tolerance was merely the disguised worship of Marxism, resurfacing in another form. We may never know the truth.”
The Wise One stopped reading and lowered the scroll in his hand. “Let us never forget what happened, and may we never repeat it. In the end the righteous were cast down and evil was called good and good was called evil. Every knee was forced to bow and every tongue confess that there was no longer right or wrong, only different, and that the right to not be offended was the greatest right of all.”
He looked up at the crowd and said, "that is all for tonight, we will read more from The Chronicles tomorrow.”
Reverently he rolled the scroll back up and put it carefully into its resting place. Tomorrow the sun would rise again, and with it would come hope that man might once again know logic and common sense, tradition and virtue, morals and values, self-control and self-restraint. Perhaps once again man would realize that he was not merely a slave or an animal or a mindless drone but a builder of great civilizations and capable of great deeds… Only time would tell if it was too late to reverse the cataclysmic results of the Before or if the faint hope for the scattered remnant that remained in the After could ever be fulfilled. Only the Wise Ones, the Sages of Old, still said there was a chance for humanity to redeem itself. Maybe, but just maybe, that would be enough. The Wise One motioned for the crowd to rise to its feet and together they solemnly chanted the mantra of hope that bound them together and showed the way for the future:
“Learn from the Past or we are doomed to repeat it.”
“Learn from the Past or we are doomed to repeat it.”
“Learn from the Past or we are doomed to repeat it.”
members from massachusetts, what are you doing ,backing that fool mark fisher for governor, the members in nevada backed the wrong candidate thats why we still have harry reid.I sometime think most of you must be rino's,because who you back
Wowzers!!!!!!! I do like Mychal Massie and what he says and what he stands for. He's certainly no slouch for the use of proper vocabulary and he can get his point across quite adequately without the use of any type of profanity which I know that some people tend to have to use in order to get their point across.
I would presume that he is a very well educated man and he certainly sounds like an honest individual. Three cheers to Mychal Massie and I hope that if the likes of Dr. Ben Carson or Mr. Kaine or Col. West should run for office and get in, that they would appoint Mr. Massie in a position such as the White House News Correspondent or something that is up in that category.
Thanks for sharing.

A great summation of the truth about Obama. Take your time and absorb this man's account.
While chalaque obama is destroying companies providing electric power to us, he is rewarding lobbyists and his well connected friends, who are engaged in the same businesses he is shutting down.

COINCIDENCE OR NOT???
Canadian Oil
Hmm... this is 'interesting'.
Kind of adds a little 'dimension' to the topic-, like "the Rest of the Story".
Kind of tarnishes the 'environmental' platform!
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad owns all of the rail lines in the US connecting to western Canada, and they haul 80%+ of the crude from Canada to the Midwest and Texas, or charge other Short Line railroads a fee to use their tracks.
BNSF charges $30 per barrel to haul the oil, where the Keystone would cost $10 by the State Department’s own estimates.
BNSF is owned by Berkshire-Hathaway whose chairman is Warren Buffet.
In the last 2 election cycles, Buffet gave extensively to democrat causes and candidates, including $40K+ to Obama in 2012. He also bundled and hosted numerous fundraisers for Obama.
If anyone here believes the pipeline isn't being blocked by Obama on Buffet’s behalf, you're nuts.
B-H could stand to lose $2B+ a year if the pipeline goes in, and Buffett makes the same amount every year it's delayed.
This is crony capitalism at its finest, and what is making people mad at our government and capitalist system.
