Rev. Wildmon: Palin Is Right, Newt Being 'Crucified' !One of the nation's most influential Christian and family leaders, the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, says Sarah Palin is right, Newt Gingrich is being "crucified" by the Republican establishment and forces allied with Mitt Romney. ldmon, founder of the American Family Association, has strongly endorsed Gingrich for president, and this week has been urging fellow believers to vote in Florida's primary for the former House Speaker. Wildmon has spent decades on the front-lines of the battle to protect American families and says Gingrich is the best choice for Christian conservatives who want a president to stand against a rising tide of secularism and anti-Christian sentiment. On Thursday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin stated on the Fox Business channel: "Look at Newt Gingrich, what's going on with him via the establishment's attacks. They're trying to crucify this man and rewrite history and rewrite what it is that he has stood for all these years.” In an interview with Newsmax Friday, Wildmon told Newsmax “That’s very tough language. But I think it’s probably pretty accurate.” Wildmon said Gingrich is up against entrenched political forces who are “absolutely” trying to dictate who wins the GOP nomination. “The mainstream media and the established Republicans would rather have anybody than Newt,” Wildmon said. “This is what really worries them. [Thursday] they went on a rampage, got five or six well known people, former colleagues of his, criticizing him. They’re going after him. That’s going to be his biggest obstacle to overcome.” Asked why he didn’t endorse former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, as have several other Christian leaders, Wildmon replied: “You’re basically going to vote for the man you think can do the best job. I believe that Newt, of all the candidates, can do a better job of getting the country back to where it’s supposed to be.” Wildmon has also stated that Gingrich passes two key criteria: he's the only candidate who can defeat both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Rev. Wildmon is aware that some have criticized Gingrich for his personal life and "baggage." But Wildmon says he has met privately with Gingrich and believes he is a changed man and has accepted Christ as his savior. “I think it’s genuine and sincere,” Wildmon told Newsmax, “Only Newt and God know his heart. But by every visible aspect, I think it’s genuine.” Wildmon also expressed grave doubts about the strength of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s commitment to social issues that Christians care about. Wildmon asserted that Romney "will not be reliable. Romney is Obama-lite.” The conservative family advocate said the stakes in the 2012 election are huge. “If we lose this race,” he said, “if Mr. Obama gets a second term, or if Mr. Romney gets in, it’s the end of Western civilization as we know it.”
Wildmon added that he gives the former House Speaker a 50-50 chance of winning the nomination, due to the powerful establishment interests arrayed against him.

Today, January, 2012, we now know those Spanish projections were outrageously positive for the President’s green energy programs. The real results have been much, much worse according to the liberal Washington Post.
$5 Million for One
Obama Green-Tech Job
In 2007-2008, candidate Barack Obama threatened “to create 5 million new green-tech jobs.” Based upon green-energy experience in Spain where Europe’s strongest 1997 economy with only 4% unemployment became today’s second-weakest (Greece worst) with roughly 22% unemployment: green-tech is 150 years ahead of its time: just not practical. Based upon Spain’s example expect 5 million subsidized green jobs to eliminate 11 million real jobs created by American free markets. But only 10% of Spanish green jobs proved permanent meaning those 11 million real jobs would be lost for only 500,000 permanent green jobs paying $10-$14 per hour. Spain’s permanent green jobs cost $676,000 each.
Today, January, 2012, we now know that those projections were outrageously positive for the President’s green energy programs. The real results have been much, much worse according to the liberal Washington Post, of all surprising news sources: after Solyndra’s bankruptcy resulted in the loss of all 1,100 jobs at the heavily subsidized plant the scoreboard reads: a mere 3,545 (so-far) permanent green jobs created at a cost of nearly $19.5 billion or roughly $5 million per permanent green job created.
Green research continues but it’s probably a dead end. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which Obama hates (his EPA is now closing down coal-powered plants) still account for 82.1% of all American energy (coal 46%). Nuclear energy accounts for roughly 10.2%. Hydro-electric plants yield 2.8%, all renewable and clean, but environmentalist want to remove most to benefit fish spawning. The next largest renewable energy is about 2.7% from burning wood. All the rest of green energy put together still accounts for less than wood-burning. In 2013, a G.H.W. Bush-era uranium deal with Russia expires potentially driving nuclear electricity costs sky high. Russia’s not eager to renew; environmentalists strongly oppose nuclear energy.
Obama, of course,
1) has refused to approve the Keystone Pipeline
2) has refused to develop the Bakken Field oil fields in the Northern Missouri River Valley area. With them the United States has larger oil resources than Saudi Arabia. Thank God, some of that oil is beneath North Dakota Indian reservations. The Native Americans don't have to follow Obama's stupid drilling moratoriums and they aren't.
3) Still has a Gulf Drilling moratorium and a ban on Alaska's Anwar area
4) Refuses to expand natural gas use (we have the largest deposits in the world)
5) Refuses to consider use of marlstone a.k.a. "oil shale". The Colorado, Utah and Wyoming deposits would yield enough gasoline to provide the entire world's needs for 600 years at present consumption levels.
6) Refuses to quit his wasteful green-tech loan programs and will spend another $19.3 Billion in 2012 and 2013
7) Listens to his environmental contingent and they want dams removed and their hydro-electricity with them; and oppose all nuclear-powered electricity generation.

Can Newt help us get America back on track?-You Decide:
Posted on The Patriot Update-By Daniel Greystone-On January 28, 2012:
“Let me ask all Patriots this question “Who has gotten the United States into the financial trouble we are currently in?” We can place (most of the) blame on Barack Obama who has a philosophy of bigger government, excessive spending and uncontrolled entitlement programs. We can also place blame squarely on both houses of Congress. During the first two years of the Obama administration, 2008 and 2009, the Democrats continued their control of both Congressional houses; the Senate and the House of Representatives. In those two years alone, these politicians never submitted a budget but they DID pass every piece of legislation to grow the government bigger and bigger. The bottom line is that Congress, from 2006 to 2010, was a liberals ‘dream come true’ period of time because these Socialists had complete control of the Federal Budget. Without any sort of fiscal conscious they ran up our deficit by excessive spending and no regard for their constitutional duties. Never before in the history of the United States, has Congress been so blatant with how they managed our money and how reckless they were in passing laws like the Healthcare Reform Act called ‘Obamacare’ without fully vetting them with the American people.
Today, we are suffering the real consequences of this behavior with high unemployment rates, under reported employment, business stagnation, housing issues and poor consumer purchases. There are so many issues with America caused by Barack Obama and this Democratic leadership that it would take a book to explain it all. However, not all these problems are ONLY caused by Obama and these Liberal (Socialist) Democrats. In 2010, we elected to Congress many newcomers from the Tea Party to help reign in the Democratic majority that was “out of control” at the time. Their one goal was to stop the reckless spending and unconscionable passage of laws that is taking away our American Freedom. The question I have is “Have those Tea Party Officials been able to succinctly reign in our out-of-control spending?” The clear answer is No. So we have to ask ‘Why not?’ Why is Congress STILL out of control and why cannot they stop the reckless spending that is now OVER $15 TRILLION DOLLARS? Let us bookmark this first thought and digress to explain Congress back in the 1990’s for a minute.
Yesteryear in Congress:
Prior to the 1990’s the voting American public stood up and said “No More Taxes.” In fact, the first President Bush was not reelected because he did not listen to that generation of American voters. What these voters knew, that current voters have failed to realize, was if their personal taxes and corporate tax were raised more and more, this would reduce the amount of money anyone had to spend and it would stymie economic growth. So, before the end President Bush’s first term he could not resist raising taxes on Americans and because of this he was not reelected and was then out of office. It was this one single tax event that prevented him from being elected to two terms.
Around 1995, the leadership in the House of Representative changed and the Republicans took control. This is when Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House of Representatives. During his time as Speaker of the House, there were in fact, FOUR consecutive budgets that balanced our burgeoning federal deficit. There was a Democratic President at the time, Bill Clinton, and it was an uphill battle for Speaker Gingrich to get each budget approved and passed in the House. Then each budget had to go to the Senate and ultimately President Clinton had to sign it; which he did all four years. Has any Patriot ever asked this question “Was it easy to create a budget that balanced the burgeoning deficit and get the sum of Congress to pass it just so Clinton would sign it?” Does anyone think the Democrats walked in ‘lock-step’ with the Speaker of the House to get it done? Does anyone believe the Republicans walked ‘in synchronicity’ with Speaker Gingrich to get this accomplished? Just look at what is happening TODAY in Congress, 2010 through 2012 with the budget; compare this to how do YOU think Speaker Gingrich was able to get a balanced Federal Budget pushed though? Now let us bookmark this second thought for a minute so we can take a look at what is happening in the present.
Leadership and Supporters of Leadership:
There is a condition that a leader must prepare for because all leaders are labeled “a target” by the people who do not support them. Those people who do not agree with leadership often make the person in that position a target of ridicule, angst and non-support. They decisively talk behind their back and express their discontent of the job the leader is doing. They try to persuade others to believe in why they do not like or will not support the leader. They will do everything they can to get others to become disenchanted with that leader. It does not matter if this leader is at a local level within your community, church or school. This type of behavior goes all the way up to Congress and to the President. One can always say that ‘some people will follow a leader and there will always be others who will not.’
A very good leader will know how to get things done. So how can a leader depend upon others to get ‘it’ done if they do not support the leader? The answer to this is a ‘trade secret’ of leadership and in a future book this will be discussed at length. It is important to know there are many different styles of leadership that can be effective depending upon the environment, mission and goals. The question we have to ask is “What does it take for a leader to be effective so they can get America back on track? Now, let us bookmark this third thought for a minute so we can take a look at what is happening and what people are saying about the Congress of Yesteryear.
Reality of Leadership:
There are more and more attacks directly on Gingrich’s four years of leadership when he was Speaker of the House of Representatives. These people, who may have been in office at the time, are saying “even fellow Republicans did not want to work with him [Newt]; while he was Speaker.” One can bet this is coming from the Democratic Party primarily because they are absolutely terrified that Newt Gingrich will become the GOP Presidential Candidate. They are pulling out all the stops to do everything they can to get Mitt Romney to become our GOP candidate for President. There is another article I wrote that explains this in more detail about “Why the Democrats want Romney to be the GOP Presidential Candidate” and can be found at this link:
Do we believe Newt had it easy when he was Speaker of the House? Do we also believe everyone just willingly supported him as the Speaker for his balance budget initiatives? Sure, all the members in the House just went along with his budget cutting agenda; yes, all of them were just apathetic having to eliminate programs that may affect their own re-election back home, right? So, what do you think Newt did to get EVERYONE to buy-in and support the tightening of the federal budgets he led? Remember, what Newt did give us was a balanced budget for FOUR years and this resulted in unprecedented American growth and revenue!
You have to know the Democrats are so obsessed with preventing Newt from wining the GOP nomination that they will seize upon any and all bad information they can get on him. They are using every negative issue they can find against Newt right now. It is not beyond them to actually lie, cheat and manipulate any and all information to make Newt look bad. Obviously, they are choosing to blast Gingrich because they fear him the most; this is because he actually got something accomplished when he was Speaker and this SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT! Not only is Newt a true conservative, but he has been able to do “WHAT IT TAKES” to actually make changes happen in Congress! Was it easy for Newt? Did he make friends? Did he have to bend some arms? Did he have to compromise? Yes Newt did and I am sure he had to do these things and probably more to make the changes we idolize today. Was Newt Gingrich perfect? No. However, Newt Gingrich got the job done and EVERYONE benefited from it!
One thing I believe Speaker Gingrich did not do is “he did not do what the CURRENT Speaker of the House of Representatives has done. Nor did he do what Nancy Pelosi did while she was Speaker.” In 2010, 2011 and now in 2012, our House is in turmoil, it is not able to get consensus on passing laws and budgets and they have failed from preventing us going over 12 Trillion Dollars in debt; which is now $15 Trillion! So as far as leadership is concerned, we have the model of one Speaker, Newt Gingrich, that got the job done and everyone since then has been far worse for America and they have caused our current debt crisis and reduction of our Freedom.
Let us take a quick look at the job Speaker Pelosi did when she was the Speaker of the House. What she did resulted in spiraling out-of-control debt, crushing regulations and removal of plethora of our American FREEDOMS. In her day, they never even produced a budget much less pass one. The four years she was in control resulted in an unprecedented federal government growth and infiltration of socialists into our American government. Yes, she is an excellent role model for us to NOT ever elect again.
Next we have Speaker Boehner and the job he is now doing as Speaker of the House. He is not able to stand up for one single budget proposal and had four of them last year. He bends like a reed in a soft wind. Since he is not able to stand for anything, the House of Representatives is all tied up in gridlock with seemingly no leadership Yes, Boehner is also an excellent role model for us. His leadership model is to realize it is NOT easy to lead the House of Representatives into a concerted and focused effort.
Leadership in Summary:
So, based upon the leadership Mr. Gingrich exhibited while he was the leader of the House of Representatives, do we believe he should be shunned and he should be hanging his head low in utter disgrace as the Liberals would have you believe? Because of the way his critics are slamming Newt (about what he did back then) should this be preventing him from becoming our GOP candidate for President? Newt Gingrich talks about that period of time and what he did as if he is wearing a badge of HONOR! What he did is honorable. The Democrats want all of us to believe he should be ashamed of what he did. Speaker Gingrich has summed this up by stating “No one is our lifetime has done what [he] did; no one has balanced the Federal Budget four consecutive years in a row.” You are correct, Mr. Speaker.
Remember, all of these professed issues and complaints about Newt Gingrich are yet again showing everyone how desperate the Establishment is scared of Newt. They are terrified that if elected, he will actually CHANGE WASHINGTON. Also remember it is infinitely much easier for people to just sit on the sidelines and nit-pick what Newt did as Speaker of the House. Just know that as ‘The leader’ it was Newt who actually got something done. Newt was not just someone who got it done to benefit their own political party and friends, Newt got it done for every citizen in the United States of America. Thank You Mr. Gingrich!
Right now all of us American Patriots are trying to vet the qualifications of who will become our GOP Candidate, so please remember these three important things:
1. Leadership is not easy and it is very hard to become an effective leader
2. We have a choice of leaders and we need someone who has a record of successful change
3. We MUST break the current dead-lock in Congress and this will NOT make many friends
Now let us examine the bookmarks we created.
1. We have out of control spending because we do not have any leadership that can make us believe they are fiscally responsible. There is no one in Congress now that will stand by their core values because they are trying to appease others.
2. Being able to make changes in Washington is not for the foolhardy. It is not about winning friends but more about influencing people and this is what Gingrich did. Just realize it is extremely difficult to lead people especially when your goal is to make significant cuts in funding.
3. What will it take to get America back on track? It will take someone with bold ideas; it will take a leader who is not afraid to do what is best for the Republic FIRST and it will take real core-value leadership to make the process work for EVERYONE.
Patriots, I believe we can get America back on track with the correct leader. However, time is running out and we MUST select the best leader we can for the November 2012 election. However, between now and then, all of us will be hearing a lot about leadership so when you hear people talk about leadership, remember this “Leadership is a LOT like herding a bunch of cats; the ones with long tails are the ones that will get stepped upon and those are the ones that will be screaming. The ones which are screaming are the ones preventing us from getting it done!”

This book is a Limited Edition (1000 copies) reproduction of a 1930s work which chronicled the history surrounding the first English Bible printed in the United States of America—the Bible printed by Robert Aitken of Philadelphia. Original 1930s title included and reads, “An Original Leaf from the Bible of the Revolution and An Essay Concerning It by Robert R. Dearden Jr. and Douglas S. Watson.” This copy includes color facsimiles of Aitken’s title pages.

Dearden Jr. and Douglas Watson, The Coffee House in Philadelphia in Robert Aitken’s Time, Portrait of General Washington, A Note on the Typography of the Period by Edwin E. Grabhorn. History: No one had been legally allowed to print the Bible in America while it was still under the rule of Great Britain—this was the job of the king’s printers—but after its independence American printers could begin to produce their own copies of the Scriptures. Aitken is credited with being the first to do so, and he petitioned Congress for $10,000 with which to complete the project. Although the funds were approved, it appears that Aitken was never reimbursed for his work and he became poor. However, his daughter took up the printing trade as well, and became the first American woman to print the Bible—a Bible translated by Charles Thomson, Secretary to the United States Congress.

(An Historical Preface)Margaret T. Hills
Former Secretary for Research of The American Bible Society 1968 Arno PressThe War of the American Revolution had entered its third year. Since the fateful firing of the "first shot" on Lexington Green, the Continental Congress, sitting in Philadelphia, had been required to make many crucial decisions, both military and political. Now, in July 1777, a petition signed by three clergymen was placed before that dedicated body of colonial representatives calling for a determination of an entirely different nature.To the honourable Continental Congress of the United States of North America now sitting in Philadelphia.Honoured GentlemenWe the Ministers of the Gospel of Christ in the City of Philadelphia, whose names are under written, taking it into our serious consideration that in our present circumstances, books in general, and in particular, the holy Scriptures contained in the old and new Testaments are growing so scarce and dear, that we greatly fear that unless timely care be used to prevent it, we shall not have bibles for our schools and families, and for the publick worship of God in our churches.We therefore think it our duty to our country and to the churches of Christ to lay this danger before this honourable house, humbly requesting that under your care, and by your encouragement, a copy of the holy Bible may be printed, so as to be sold nearly as cheap as the common Bibles, formerly imported from Britain and Ireland, were sold.The number of purchasers is so great, that we doubt not but a large impression would soon be sold, But unless the sale of the whole edition belong to the printer, and he be bound under sufficient penalties, that no copy be sold by him, nor by any retailer under him, at a higher price than that allowed by this honourable house, we fear that the whole impression would soon be bought up, and sold again at an exorbitant price, which would frustrate your pious endeavours and fill the country with just complaints.We are persuaded that your care and seasonable interposition will remove the anxious fears of many pious and well disposed persons; would prevent the murmurs of the discontented; would save much money to the United States; would be the means of promoting Christian knowledge in our churches, and would transmit your names with additional honour to the latest posterity.Our sincere prayers shall ever be for your welfare and prosperity, and we beg leave with the greatest respect to subscribe our selvesHonoured Gentlemen
Your most obedient humble servants

William MarshalleReferred to a committee composed of John Adams, Daniel Roberdeau and Jonathan Bayard Smith, the petition was not reported upon until September 11th. On that day, General Washington was fighting the Battle of the Brandywine and General John Burgoyne was on his way toward Saratoga. Before long, Philadelphia would he occupied by the troops of General Sir William Howe and Congress itself would flee to Lancaster and then to York.In its report, the committee stated that it had "conferred fully with the printers, etc. in this city and are of the opinion, that the proper types for printing the Bible are not to be had in this country, and that the paper cannot be procured, but with such difficulties and subject to such casualties as render any dependence on it altogether improper . . ." It recommended, therefore, that Congress "order the committee of commerce to import 20,000 bibles from Holland, Scotland or elsewhere into the different ports of the states of the Union."When the motion carried by the narrowest of margins, seven to six, a subsequent motion was immediately passed ordering "that the consideration thereof be postponed to Saturday next." However, since nothing more is known concerning this resolution, it is doubted whether the beleaguered Congress ever took steps to effect its implementation.Isaiah Thomas, the first historian of American printing, reported that by 1775 there were fifty presses in the Colonies. Why then should the proposal of three Philadelphia clergymen receive such careful consideration from a Continental Congress harassed by the demands of a war whose tide had yet to be turned from overwhelming defeat to victory?Prior to the War of the Revolution, there had been no publication of the English Bible in the Colonies. All demands for Scriptures had to be met by importation from England and the Continent. It is true, of course, that there was a scarcity of the type and paper necessary for the successful publication of a book as large as the Bible. Most of the presses were used for the impression of documents, proclamations, pamphlets and papers. But there was a far more serious consideration that kept it from being printed by an American printer. It was, in fact, illegal for any printer in the Colonies to produce the English Bible.Publication of the Scriptures in any lands under the British crown was restricted; in order to insure accuracy in printing, to the Oxford and Cambridge University Presses and to one other printer licensed by the king. In Scotland, special licenses were required.There is, however, the fascinating story that an edition of the English Bible and several Testaments were printed in Boston about 1750. But no copy has ever been satisfactorily identified, for the paper and type would have been imported and, according to the story, a British imprint was employed.While the Royal License applied only to the publication of the text of the King James Bible, without comment, there seems to have been no restriction on annotated editions. But these publications were usually large and elaborate, filled with engravings. They were, consequently, expensive and had to be financed by subscription. Several such projects had been proposed in the Colonies but had foundered for lack of support.Also, inasmuch as the restriction did not apply to the printing of Bible translations, a complete translation by John Eliot, printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1663 for the Indians of that area, and three editions of the German Bible, printed by Christopher Saur and his sons in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1743, 1763 and I 776, were the only known publications of the Holy Bible in colonial America until the closing years of the War of the Revolution.In 1780, another motion pertaining to the printing of the Scriptures was made in Congress:Resolved: That it be recommended to such of the States who may think it convenient for them that they take proper measures to procure one or more new and correct editions of the old and new Testament to be printed and that such states regulate their printers by law so as to secure effectually the said books from being misprinted.Introduced by James McLene of Pennsylvania and seconded by John Hanson of Maryland, nothing more substantial is known to have developed from this recommendation than resulted from the clerical petition three years earlier. However, on January 21, 1781, it seemed at last to have been an opportune time for Robert Aitken to present the following memorial to Congress:To the Honourable The Congress
of the United States of America
The Memorial of Robert Aitken
of the City of Philadelphia, PrinterHumbly ShewethThat in every well regulated Government in Christendom The Sacred Books of the Old and New Testament, commonly called the Holy Bible, are printed and published under the Authority of the Sovereign Powers, in order to prevent the fatal confusion that would arise, and the alarming Injuries the Christian Faith might suffer from the Spurious and erroneous Editions of Divine Revelation. That your Memorialist has no doubt but this work is an Object worthy the attention of the Congress of the United States of America, who will not neglect spiritual security, while they are virtuously contending for temporal blessings. Under this persuasion your Memorialist begs leave to inform your Honours That he both begun and made considerable progress in a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools, But being cautious of suffering his copy of the Bible to Issue forth without the sanction of Congress, Humbly prays that your Honours would take this important matter into serious consideration & would be pleased to appoint one Member or Members of your Honourable Body to inspect his work so that the same may be published under the Authority of Congress. And further, your Memorialist prays, that he may be commissioned or otherwise appointed & Authorized to print and vend Editions of the Sacred Scriptures, in such manner and form as may best suit the wants and demands of the good people of these States, provided the same be in all things perfectly consonant to the Scriptures as heretofore Established and received amongst us.Robert Aitken was no stranger to the respected gentlemen of Congress. In January 1776, he began printing the journals of Congress, and when, in December of that year, the Continental Congress retreated to Baltimore, they sent an "express" to him requesting that he bring his press and utensils at public expense to Baltimore where he might locate and continue his engagement with Congress. But Aitken decided to remain in Philadelphia where he had settled after arriving from Scotland in 1769.Born in Dalkeith, near Edinburgh, in 1734 (or 1735), Aitken had learned the art of bookbinding and gone into the book business in Paisley. When he was about thirty-five years old, he left his wife and three children behind while he came to America to investigate the prospects of publishing and selling books here.Shortly after his arrival in Philadelphia, he advertised for sale, for ready money only, a long list of "the very best books" and ordered printed two books -- a Shorter Catechism and A Dialogue between Jockey and Maggy, or How to Court a Country Girl. These appeared with his imprint (but without printer identification) in 1770. Evidently satisfied with the outlook, he returned home to Scotland in November and by May 10, 1771, was back in Philadelphia with his wife, Janet, and two children, Jane and Robert, Jr., his third child having died while he was in America.Aitken set up shop in Philadelphia on Front Street, nearly opposite the London Coffee H6use, with stock he had purchased for fifty pounds. The list of stock as of June 11, 1771, is shown in his "Waste Book", a large folio (now with the Pennsylvania Historical Society) which covers his accounts from 1771 to 1802. The wide-ranging list includes, in addition to books and stationery items, yard goods, silver knee buckles, needle cases, a bird cage, six gilt school Bibles at five shillings, and twelve Pocket School Bibles at six shillings three pence. He thus established himself in Philadelphia as a bookseller and soon thereafter as a publisher and binder.In January 1775, he began publication of a sophisticated monthly, The Pennsylvania Magazine, with Thomas Paine as editor and a subscription list of six hundred. Each issue was a large octavo-size magazine of forty-eight pages, and it has been described as one of the most attractive of early American periodicals.It was in 1777 that Aitken decided to test the market with a New Testament, a small book of ~ pages, measuring five and a half by three and an eighth inches. Other editions of 1778 and 1779 are recorded but according to The English Bible in America, no copies are known to he in existence. Subsequently, other publishers in America followed his lead with their editions of New Testaments:- 1779 Isaac Collins, Trenton
- 1780 Thomas and Fleet, Boston
- Hall and Sellers, Philadelphia
- Francis Bailey, Philadelphia
- Isaac Collins, Trenton
- 1781 James Adams, Wilmington, Delaware
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:35 |
SEPARATE FROM EVIL
Can Christians walk with the secular progressive government mandates, rules & regulations of our American government, both at the state and federal levels and still be salt & light in society? Are we bound by Romans 13 to obey every rule, regulation and law of government,( Romans 13 does not hold that view, the higher power is God, then we the people, not government), no matter what evil it proposes? Should we embrace unbelievers and follow with their works?
The main purpose of God’s Word is to know him, ( John 6:35;8:12;10:7,9;10:11,14;11:25;14:6;15:1,5) get to understand him, (Ps. 119:11) walk with him (I John 2:6) and be like him in character and nature ( II Cor. 3:18).
God’s Word directs us in John 6:14-7:1 to separate from evil and not to get entangled with the sins of the world.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 7:1 (KJV)
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
We must expose evil works of darkness as this is God’s will for us:
Ephesians 5:6-17 (KJV)
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
We must distance ourselves from all the government evil, greed, and corruption throwing off the evil of the Obama Whitehouse being spewed upon this great God give nation. His evil efforts to convert us into a secular, godless Marxist society, standing in a new godless satanic Muslim religion, must be resisted and reversed if we intend to remain a Christian nation. As our pledge states,” One Nation, under God”, we Christians must stand and shout it from the house tops; “Jesus Christ Is King over this nation” just as our fore fathers established our Declaration, Constitution & Bill of Rights, under his head ship we too must hold up this standard and draw all men unto Jesus Christ.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Richard C Wilmot
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE THERE OWN GOD, IT CALLED BIG GOVERMNET AND WE ARE SMARTER THAN YOU LITTLE PEOPLE. GOD IS ON OUR SIDE, WE CAN NOT LOSE.
Dropout Cain has given endorsement to Gingrich. Dropout Perry has given endorsement to Gingrich. Sarah Palin says vote for Gingrich in Florida’s primary. What is it about Gingrich the Republican establishment doesn’t like? John McCain, the Republican establishment’s last pick was not for a bold change. George Walker Bush was not for a bold change, nor was his father. Mitt Romney is not for bold change. Newt Gingrich said it. “Bold new solutions.” It sent chills through the Republican establishment.
I remember Contract with America. The Democrats went ape. Speaker Gingrich was removed. Note the change of tone in Boehner after he became Speaker How much has Boehner accomplished in curbing spending since he became Speaker?
What could possibly be a “bold new solution?” Romney is desperately trying to discredit Gingrich.
Tea Party Express Touring Florida: DAY ONE
My colleague on three Tea Party Express national bus tours has been conservative rapper David Saucedo known as Politik. One of David's songs is titled, “That's The Tea Party”. Tea Party Express team members have adopted David's song title to describe traveling on the Tea Party Express. For Example: “Functioning on little to no sleep – that's the tea party”.
Well, here we go again. Tea Party Express called me 10pm Thursday to hit the road Friday at 2:30pm to begin a four day tour of Florida. Fellow team member and patriot, conservative radio talk show host, Andrea Shea King picked me up at a gas station off of I-95 to rendezvous with the Tea Party Express tour bus in Jacksonville. This life is too glamorous for words.
Our Jacksonville rally hosted by First Coast Party featured former Congressman, J.C. Watts. I did not know he was a Baptist minister until I heard his wonderful compelling speech today. Before he spoke, I met and chatted with Congressman Watts on the Tea Party Express bus. I complemented him for standing firm when he was attacked for being a black republican on the Chris Rock TV show. Congressman Watts said he refuses to fit into a suit someone else has prepared for him, nor will he succumb to group think. I was impressed. J.C. Watts is a great man of character.
Team members were moved by the passion of the Sciolaro family who drove from Kansas to attend our rally. They traveled to primaries volunteering for Rick Perry and were heartbroken when Perry dropped out. As per Perry's instructions, they have rallied around Newt.
The eldest daughter of the Sciolaro family was so frustrated with her college professors, she changed her major to Political Science. Mom, Vicki Sciolaro said she woke up this morning so discouraged about our country that she cried. But, she prayed and God gave her courage to push forward. Folks, the Sciolaro family are great patriots – passionate in their love for America and their commitment to save her. They ARE the tea party.
Newt Gingrich signs dominated at our Jacksonville, Fl rally.
So, that is it for now. I am on the bus headed to Winter Park, FL for our second of three rallies today. No time to stop for lunch – guess I will microwave a hot pocket; not a big fan of hot pockets.
Tea Party Still Alive & Well.
Hi Folks. Lloyd Marcus reporting in from the road with Tea Party Express. At our Winter Park, FL Tea Party Express bus tour rally, I met patriot Peggy Spencer. Peggy volunteers for Americans For Prosperity. She told me that our rally was her third tea party event this week. Peggy said the media would love to say the tea party is over, but it is not. She and her fellow patriots are very busy working for change behind the scenes.
My observation of the state of the Tea Party aligns with Peggy. As a movement, we have matured beyond being the naïve fearful-for-our-country babes we were two years ago. Tea partiers are first time candidates, authors, strategists, educators, film makers and more – each following their gifts, talents and passion to take back America.
While our Jacksonville rally was dominated by Gingrich signs, Santorum signs ruled this rally.
Liberty Counsel founder, Matt Staver gave the welcoming address at the Winter Park rally. Staver stressed the importance of making a “change” in the White House in November.
Attorney, teacher, author and speaker KrisAnne Hall joined the tour as a speaker at our Winter Park rally. KrisAnne was fired from her position as Florida Assistant State Attorney for speaking at a local Tea Party rally. KrisAnne is fired up and committed more than ever to the tea party. Our movement is alive and well.
This just in. This is a first. Attempting to leave Winter Park headed to our rally in West Palm Beach, the driver rear tires of our bus succumbed to a small Florida sink hole. We're stuck! We are waiting for a tow truck.
Gingrich Announces Cain Endorsement at Tea Party Express Rally.
Newt Gingrich announced at our West Palm Beach Tea Party Express rally that Herman Cain has endorsed him. The audience, mostly Gingrich supporters, were excited.
This was the first day of our four day Tea Party Express tour of Florida. We begin with a rally in Jacksonville, then Winter Park; Gingrich spoke at our third rally of the day in West Palm beach. On every tour, I enjoy meeting new patriots and hugging old brother and sister patriots at the rallies.
We have TV and WiFi on the tour bus. Today, while traveling on the bus, I responded to a hand full of negative emails. These doom and gloom people basically said both political parties are corrupt and I am an idiot for thinking the efforts of our Tea Party team will make a difference.
To them, I say, so what should we do? Should we park the Tea Party Express tour bus and go home? Do we simply surrender the country to Obama?
Well, I say NOT on my watch. Yes, both parties have negative issues. But, what part of four more years of Barack Hussein Obama will end America as we know it do you not understand? The stakes are far too high to stay home election day because both parties suck or because your candidate did not win the Republican nomination.
If my favorite candidate does not win the Republican nomination, I love my country far too much to have a temper tandem, stopping working to defeat Obama and stay home election day. Obama MUST be stopped. Obamacare MUST be repealed. If not, it is checkmate – the socialism, Marxist and Progressives will have won. Freedom, for which many have made the ultimate sacrifice, will be over. Government will have complete control of our lives. Good Lord people, THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ELECTION!
How could anyone who claims to love this country allow it to be destroyed simply because they did not “get their way” or they felt uncomfortable voting for an imperfect candidate?
This is MY country. I love her, warts and all. I will NOT stand by and allow her to be overrun by this evil administration. As God continues to give me grace, I will fight to defend and save her against all enemies foreign and domestic.
May God bless my nationwide tea party family. And may God bless Tea Party Express!

Is Newt the smart, brave and courageous patriot that can help us take America back?-You Decide:
Posted on Sunshine State News-By KENRIC WARD-On January 28, 2012:
“In throwing their support to Newt Gingrich, a group of Florida tea party leaders risk throwing away their clout and credibility, observers of the movement say.
“The Florida Tea Party Coalition With Newt” endorsed the former House speaker on Thursday, saying they would “help defeat Massachusetts Moderate Mitt Romney and then President Barack Obama.”
“It is clear to me and many others in the tea party movement that Newt is the Reagan conservative that America needs,” said Peter Lee, founder and director of the East Side Tea Party of Orlando.
Lee was joined by statewide tea leader Patricia Sullivan, who said, “I stand with Newt because I know he will stand up to the establishment and insist on fiscal reforms.”
In all, more than 30 Florida-based tea activists signed on to the coalition. The geographically diverse representatives ranged from the Panhandle to Broward County.
Separately, the TEA Party of Florida, the only political tea party registered with the state Division of Elections, endorsed Gingrich.
Chairman John Long said Gingrich “articulated direct and serious steps designed to reduce spending, cut our deficits, pay down our national debt, and return liberty to our citizens in doing so.”
But the endorsements may be too little and too late for the former House speaker, whose poll numbers in Florida have slumped amid two lackluster debate performances on Monday and Thursday.
Meanwhile, Gingrich continues to mystify and anger conservatives as he panders on illegal immigration and rationalizes his $1.6 million contract with Freddie Mac while adopting populist poses that resemble left-wing class warfare.
Still, some tea party leaders, fearing the growing inevitability of Romney as the GOP nominee, felt they had to take a stand before Tuesday’s Florida primary. Romney is perceived as the “establishment candidate” and widely distrusted by tea party groups, who have received little or no attention from the former Massachusetts governor.
Billie Tucker, leader of the First Coast Tea Party in Jacksonville, is not endorsing any candidates, but acknowledges Gingrich has strong appeal in the movement.
Gingrich won 43 percent of the 322 votes cast in a First Coast straw poll on Jan. 17. Ron Paul received 26 percent, Romney garnered 19 percent and Rick Santorum netted 10 percent.
Gingrich’s ties to the tea party movement are deep and long-lasting.
In March 2009, when tea parties were just beginning to be organized, the Georgian pledged to use his prodigious mailing list at American Solutions to publicize the inaugural Tax Day event.
He posted a link on every website he owned, sent emails to everyone in his database and produced a video while publicly announcing his support of the tea party movement—long before radio talkers like Glenn Beck jumped on the bandwagon.
Sullivan, who chairs a statewide tea group called the Tea Party Network, is repaying the favor by mobilizing her Lake County-based “Patriot Army” on Gingrich’s behalf.
“Once I decided to support Newt, I got to work and took a group of Patriot Army members to South Carolina where we walked precincts for three days, then waved signs at the polls,” Sullivan said.
Then she returned to Florida, where she set up a Gingrich rally at Mount Dora.
“Time for talk is over, we need to be about action. That is why I actively support the candidate I believe will stand up to the establishment and rein in spending,” she said.
Explaining the mechanics of the coalition endorsement, Sullivan said, “The leaders and members will share their views with their tea party and actively work to get out the vote for Newt.”
“I don’t believe another candidate has a coalition of tea party leaders willing to get out and work for their candidate, but I could be wrong.”
Sullivan, who previously supported Herman Cain, said the Tea Party Network is not involved in the endorsement.
Some say the tea endorsement is a risky move, coming after other tea party favorites—Cain, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry—each exited the race amid controversy or anemic polls.
“If Gingrich loses, the tea party is over,” predicted one veteran tea party activist from South Florida. “If he loses, what does that show you about the clout of the tea party?”
The activist, who spoke on condition of anonymity, cast his early ballot for Ron Paul this week. “He stands for what we stood for in 2009.”
A former executive with the Florida TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party doubts that the coalition backing will help Gingrich much.
“Far more influential was the endorsement of the reconstituted TEA Party of Florida. That tea party has a much-desired email list of over 100,000 opt-in participants. And, unlike the self-pronounced ‘tea party coalition,’ it has a track record of actually receiving votes for candidates,” said Doug Guetzloe, an Orlando-based political consultant who has returned to the Republican Party.
“The ‘coalition tea party’ backing is one of the last acts of an inflated collection of egos,” Guetzloe said. “Their endorsement will make no difference.”
Some tea activists steered clear of endorsing out of concern that they might run afoul of election laws or tax codes. Others simply disagree with Gingrich politically.
Gingrich’s infamous couch talk with Nancy Pelosi about “global warming” and his dismissal of Rep. Paul Ryan’s entitlement reforms as “right-wing social engineering” fly in the face of conservative orthodoxy.
Illustrating the fractious character of the tea movement, Steve Vernon, vice president of Tea Party Manatee, signed on to the Gingrich coalition, even though Rick Santorum won a straw poll conducted by his group before the South Carolina primary.
Vernon said he and others in his Gulf Coast tea party consider Santorum a “bigger government guy” who repeatedly voted for earmarks as a two-term Pennsylvania senator.
“Some say he can’t win,” Vernon added.
“We could have a totally different outcome this week. It’s still up in the air,” Vernon said, emphasizing that the Gingrich tea coalition is made up of individuals, and not binding on groups.
Several large tea organizations remain unaligned. In addition to Tucker’s First Coast Tea Party, sizable tea and patriot organizations in Naples, Englewood and Venice are absent from the coalition. The combined membership of these groups is estimated at 15,000.
Still, Tucker does not dispute or begrudge the coalition’s action.
“They have chosen to stand up for their guy and that is their decision,” she said.
Danita Kilcullen is less sanguine about the process. The chairwoman of Tea Party Fort Lauderdale said she is “appalled” at the endorsements for Gingrich.
“The tea party, of all people, should be aware of his globalist, progressive agenda. He would be my absolute last pick.”
Beyond that, Kilcullen said endorsements can create unnecessary “splits and hard feelings” within tea parties.
“Our group overwhelmingly supports Santorum, but it’s not right to endorse,” she said.
Tea Party Express, a national organization, is holding off on a presidential endorsement, but that could change before Tuesday.
“The movement is coalescing around Gingrich,” Amy Kremer, president of Tea Party Express, told Sunshine State News. She said former Rep. J.C. Watts would be standing in for Gingrich at the group’s rally in Jacksonville on Saturday.
Kevin Wagner, a political science professor at Florida Atlantic University, said Gingrich is a good fit on at least one level.
“Mitt Romney has never been popular with tea party groups, so it is fairly predictable that they would move toward the most viable non-Romney,” Wagner noted.
“With that said, Newt Gingrich has a confrontational style that taps into the anger that many tea party members have. He is a natural candidate on an emotional level, if not a policy one, for the tea party supporters.”

I. GINGRICH: THE SOB WE NEED: ‘Exclusive: Pamela Geller cheers Newt's understanding of Islamic threat!’
Posted on WND.com- By Pamela Geller-On January 24, 2012:
“Newt Gingrich’s victory in Saturday’s South Carolina primary means that we are still alive.
Gingrich really won the primary in the first five minutes of Friday night’s debate, when he challenged John King of CNN. King opened the debate trying to press forward the media’s campaign of destruction of Gingrich, using the 13-year-old slings and arrows of a still-bitter ex-wife. The best thing about the exchange was that Newt turned the tables with the speed and skill of a black belt and put the media on the defensive. It was brilliant, a defining moment. And the crowd cheered. People are fed up.
The country needs a tough fighter. There is a war on the American people; we are under attack from within, and the Republican establishment has been meek, cowed, defeated. Gingrich is fierce. We need a fighter to go toe-to-toe against the silver-tongued snake in the White House.
Longtime readers of my website AtlasShrugs.com know that I have not been a Gingrich fan, so he has had to have done and said extraordinary things and taken courageous positions during this GOP battle for me to support him for the GOP nomination.
And he has. Gingrich continues to persuade me with his arguments. I pricked up my ears a few months back, when Gingrich said that he would pursue the prosecutions of the unindicted co-conspirators (CAIR, MSA, MAS, ICNA, ISNA, etc.) named in the largest terrorist-funding trial, the Holy Land Foundation conviction. Is it any wonder that these Muslim Brotherhood groups are quaking in their jackboots? Hamas-tied CAIR just called him “one of the nation’s worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry.” It’s a badge of honor.
Gingrich has also enraged them by coming out against Islamic law (Shariah), the most repressive political ideology on the planet today. He said last week: “A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat; a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat.” He said he was “totally opposed” to the use of Shariah in American courts and support laws against it.
Also last week, Gingrich stated that the “rising Islamization of Turkey has been accompanied by a 1,400 percent increase in women being killed.” When someone in the enemedia asked if he would ever support a Muslim who ran for president, he said: “When you look at the application of Shariah in places like Iran, when you look at churches being burned in Nigeria and Egypt, and that the decline of Christians in Iraq from about 1,200,000 when the Americans arrived to about 500,000 today, I think it depends entirely on the person. If they are a modern person integrated in the modern world and they are prepared to recognize all religions, that’s one thing. On the other hand, if they’re Saudis, who demand that we respect them while they refuse to allow Christians to worship in Saudi Arabia, that’s something different.”
Gingrich even came out against the Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mosque, calling it a “deliberate and willful insult to the people of the United States who suffered an attack by people who are motivated by the same thing.”
And several weeks ago, Gingrich far exceeded all expectations when he spoke the truth about the fact that the “Palestinians” are an invented people, a fake nationality created by Yasser Arafat as a weapon to destroy Israel. The ensuing reaction from the Jew-hating left was visceral, but not unexpected. I was enormously disappointed, however, as the entire Republican field dumped on Gingrich for telling the truth about the Muslims in Gaza and the Jewish territories of Judea and Samaria.
Gingrich said what everyone knew: that the emperor has no clothes. But Romney, Santorum and conservative Washington insiders used Israel as their excuse for their failure to stand up for the truth when it was finally spoken. Instead of spontaneous, enthusiastic support for Gingrich’s exposing of the dirty lie, they sought to force the cat back into the bag. Shameful.
Yes, Gingrich has much to answer for. Yet while Newt has an inconsistent history, he seems a man of the time. He knows what America needs: He sees the threats from within and without, and he is pulling no punches. Romney is not strong enough for the coming battle. Newt may be an SOB, but he’s our SOB. And we need an SOB to defeat the snake in the White House.
Despite the influence of independents and Democrats who vote in these primaries, the Republican base does not want a RINO. Get out the vote. Volunteer, donate, knock on doors. If Hamas satellite organizations in the U.S. like CAIR are sweating bullets over a Newt candidacy, he would be best for freedom and country.
Also, a debate between Gingrich and President Barack Hussein “Uh Uh Uh” would be thoroughly delicious. And good for you.”

II. Chuck Norris Endorses Newt Gingrich for President!
Posted on WND.com-By CHUCK NORRIS-On January 20, 2012:
“Our republic as America’s founders created it is under assault from extremists outside our country and anti-constitutionalists inside our country. Combined with the flailing American economy and global markets, Western civilization remains on the brink, as experts and all the GOP presidential candidates agree.
President Obama has tried and failed miserably to fix our economy, deepening us and our posterity into more than $6 trillion in additional national debt – something he criticized former President Bush for as “unpatriotic” and “irresponsible.” Yet unemployment rates remain at higher levels than when Obama was elected, and the dollar is as unstable as the Middle East.
As important as it is, now is not the time to be mincing through minutiae and infighting via typical partisan battles. Rome is burning, and we need to appoint the best firemen possible to rush in and put out her fury. What’s critical at this point is to appoint a commander in chief who can clearly lead America to a more solvent and secure future.
No man or candidate is perfect. We all have skeletons in our closet. If buried bones became unforgivable bones of contention, the world would never know or will never know another Benjamin Franklin, King David and others like them. We must remember that we’re electing a president, not a pastor or pope. And with the mainstream media and a billion-dollar Obama campaign coffer on the president’s side, we need a veteran of political war who has already fought Goliath, because he will be facing Goliath’s bigger brother.
In the last few editions of my weekly column, I detailed “10 questions to find our next president” in no particular order of importance. I proposed that the name of the candidate that fills the majority of the answers deserved readers’ vote.
1. Who is most committed to follow and lead by the U.S. Constitution?
2. Who has the greatest leadership ability to rally, unify and mobilize citizens across political and societal spectrums?
3. Who has the best working comprehension of America?
4. Who has the best ability to influence a volatile world away from its brink of destruction?
5. Who has clear and present moral fortitude?
6. Who can best beat President Barack Obama (in and outside of debates)?
7. Who has the best abilities to lead Washington politics and politicians?
8. Who has the best plan and leadership ability to restore America’s economy?
9. Who is the most fiscally prudent?
10. Who has demonstrated the highest regard for human life?
For my wife, Gena, and I, we sincerely believe former Speaker Newt Gingrich is the answer to most of those questions and deserves our endorsement and vote.
We agree with our friend and governor of the great state of Texas, Rick Perry, when he suspended his campaign and endorsed Gingrich, that Newt “has the heart of a conservative reformer.” We believe Newt’s experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days. And he is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine.
I would only challenge and call Newt to fulfill the rallying strategy he outlined in South Carolina in November by utilizing the expertise and skill sets of the other GOP presidential candidates (even those who have bowed out) among his future administration. Newt explained:
I do approach this whole campaign, I think, differently from everybody else. We have a number of friends who are also running. We have no opponents except Barack Obama. I think that’s very important. I think [Abraham] Lincoln was very wise, as was captured in a book called “Team of Rivals,” in actually developing literally everybody who [was] his opponent ended up in the [presidential] Cabinet, because he needed all of them in order to be able to put together the political power during the crisis that we faced. I would say the same thing. I don’t know a single person currently running who wouldn’t be a very effective member of an administrative team who doesn’t have real talent and in some way would bring a unique strength. I don’t have any opponents on the Republican side.
Again, as Gov. Perry said during his “strategic retreat” (citing Gen. Sam Houston) from the GOP presidential race, “This mission is greater than any one man.”
I’m tired of watching our country being torn to shreds by those who think the answer is more government debt and control. I’m tired of being in bondage to a tax system that robs U.S. citizens like the king of England did before the Revolution. I’m tired of watching our sovereignty being sold by foreign loans and loose borders. And I will not sit back and merely watch this decay and degradation of the U.S. and then hand it over to my children and grandchildren to deal with.
That is why Gena and I have committed the rest of our lives to help Old Glory rise again to her heights of splendor. And that is why we are endorsing and standing with Newt Gingrich, because we believe he can lead all of us who have committed to the same.
If you’re ready to keep fighting the good fight and once and for all restore our republic, then I invite you to join my wife, Gena, and I by endorsing, rallying behind and voting for Newt Gingrich as GOP nominee and then president of the United States.”

Right ON!!
Posted on WND.com-By Joseph Farah, Editor and Chief Executive Officer, WND.com-On January 27, 2012:
“For four long years, compelling evidence has been available that challenges the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to occupy the White House.
But it was not until Thursday that the evidence – any of it – was heard in a single courtroom in America.
Not until very recently has any of it been examined by any official public proceeding or reviewed by any agency of government.
They say the wheels of justice grind slowly, but this is ridiculous.
The good news for the rule of law is what happened in a Georgia courtroom this week and what is happening in the office of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department in Arizona. Justice may yet prevail.
In the courtroom of Judge Michael Malihi of the Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings, sworn testimony was delivered rapid-fire over two hours to the effect that Obama is not qualified to have his name on the 2012 presidential ballot because his father was not a U.S. citizen, which precludes him from being a “natural-born citizen,” a clear, unambiguous requirement of the Constitution.
Find out everything Corsi has uncovered in “Where’s the Real Birth Certificate”.
Obama refused to honor a subpoena to attend the hearing, produce records answering the charges or even send legal representation to dispute the evidence. Instead, they sent a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp suggesting the judge was letting attorneys “run amok.”
In response, Kemp warned Obama and his counsel that if they chose not to participate in the proceedings, “you do so at your own peril.”
The judge is expected to rule in the case shortly. However, he has little choice but to issue a default judgment in favor of the challenge – potentially removing Obama from the ballot in Georgia in November.
That would be an astonishing development to the major media in this country that have collectively scoffed at and caricatured the notion that there is any doubt as to Obama’s eligibility.
And that’s not the only eligibility worry for Obama. Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse” has been investigating Obama’s eligibility for months and is expected to issue preliminary findings soon. This is the very first official law enforcement probe of the evidence.
Unlike the other major contestant in the 2008 election, John McCain, who faced a U.S. Senate investigation over his eligibility, no agency of government, no branch of government – local, state or federal – ever investigated Obama’s bona fides to be on the ballot or to serve in the White House, despite the fact that his own life story, as recounted in his autobiography, more than suggests he is not legally qualified.
Then, of course, there’s the matter of the much-debated birth certificate – first withheld by Obama for years, then produced just as a book titled “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” by two-time No. 1 New York Times bestselling author and WND senior staff writer Jerome Corsi hit the top of the bestseller charts weeks prior to its actual release.
Click here to read more about “Where’s the REAL Birth Certificate?”, the result of three years of exhaustive research, which establishes the case not only that Barack Obama isn’t legally qualified to be president, but that, aided by his media co-conspirators, he has conducted one of the most audacious cover-ups ever perpetrated at the highest level of American politics.
Again, overwhelming evidence points to that document’s fraudulence. But, even in the highly unlikely event that it is genuine and accurate, it represents further evidence of Obama’s ineligibility because it would represent documentation that his father was a non-citizen of the U.S.
http://whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf
All of these details have been meticulously and thoroughly reported only two places – here in the pages of WND over the last four years and in Corsi’s “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” and in an e-book sequel titled “Where’s the Real Birth Certificate?”
Meanwhile, for our trouble, we have been systematically vilified for providing the facts – a classic case of “killing the messenger.”
Thank the Lord there are still Americans somewhere in government who care more about justice and the rule of law than being popular in the media and “politically correct.”
I wonder what all those scoffers and mockers are going to say if and when Obama’s name does not appear on the ballot in Georgia and perhaps other states?
Will they report it? Will they label these actions “racist”? Will they continue to misrepresent the facts and the truth?
Things are about to get very interesting.

I. Media To Americans: ‘Nothing To See Here’: ‘Reports ignore first time Obama ineligibility evidence entered into court record!’
Posted on WND.com-By Jack Minor-On January 27, 2012:
“The mainstream media appears to have been put under a “cone of silence” about the first court proceeding to enter into the record evidence that Barack Obama is ineligible to be president based on the Constitution’s requirement that that office be occupied only by a “natural-born citizen.”
Georgia administrative law judge Michael Malihi on Thursday heard evidence from a variety of witnesses on why the president’s name should not appear on the Georgia state ballot for the 2012 election.
Earlier in the month, the judge had issued a subpoena for the president to appear before his court to answer challenges to his eligibility as a candidate.
Georgia law permits the secretary of state and “any elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate” in the state to challenge the qualifications of any candidate.
Michael Jablonski, attorney for Obama, attempted to have the subpoena quashed, arguing that taking the time to appear would “interrupt [Obama’s] duties as president of the United States.”
While Thursday’s hearing was taking place, Obama was speaking to a group of UPS workers in Las Vegas, one of the states where he hopes to gain a vote advantage in the November election.
Following the judge’s refusal to drop the subpoena, the president’s lawyers stated they would ignore the subpoena and not participate in the proceedings.
Later, appearing on the Rachel Maddow show, Mike Berlon, Georgia Democratic Party chairman, defended the president’s actions, saying the case was much ado about nothing.
“This has been thoroughly and richly litigated for a long time, and every court that has looked at it has determined that the president is a citizen,” he said.
But the facts don’t support Berlon’s statement, as this week’s hearing marks the first time that the evidence against the president’s eligibility has been entered into any court record. The dozens of previous cases that have been brought against the president have been dismissed on technicalities such as “standing.”
It is also the first time arguments have been made that the president is ineligible based on his own statements.
The presidency is unique among all of the constitutionally held offices in that it requires the person holding the position to be a “natural-born citizen,” not just a typical citizen of the U.S.
While the Constitution does not define the term “natural-born citizen,” many constitutional experts define it as the offspring of two citizen parents. The argument is supported by a U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1875, Minor v. Happersett.
The ruling, which is one of the few cases addressing the issue of natural-born citizenship as opposed to a naturalized citizen, states:
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Based on this standard, the birth certificate released by Obama proves he is not eligible as his father was a non-citizen who came from Kenya.
The hearing Thursday produced a wide range of evidence from experts testifying that the president’s birth certificate was a forgery to issues with his Social Security number, which does not match the president’s name in e-verify.
Regardless of political persuasion, a sitting U.S. president openly defying a court subpoena for a hearing at which evidence indicating he’s a usurper is entered into the record is newsworthy.
However, a look at mainstream media websites shows an almost total blackout.
CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC did not run any coverage on Thursday’s hearing, with the exception of some local affiliates in Atlanta. The Fox News Channel’s report was a day later.
WND contacted the news organizations asking for comment on why they did not believe the story was newsworthy, considering the precedents set in the hearing. At the time of this article’s publication, none chose to respond.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution was one of the few newspapers to cover the event; however, its coverage did not discuss the ramifications if the judge were to rule Obama ineligible to appear on the ballot.
The media blackout of the Georgia case is part of a continuing pattern of covering up serious discussion of the birth certificate issue.
During the court martial of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who refused to obey orders over concerns about the president’s eligibility, the media for the most part refused to cover the issue.
Stars and Stripes, Military.com, WND and a local reporter from Lakin’s home town were at the proceedings, however there was almost no representation by major media outlets.
Many retired officers who come out against the president’s eligibility, such as Maj. Gens. Jerry Curry and Paul Vallely, have also been ignored by media.
Media have also refused to report polls showing many Americans still have doubts about the president’s eligibility.
Just last month, a Democratic polling company’s survey indicated that a majority of Iowa caucus goers still did not believe the president was born in the United States.
Public Polling Policy released the results of a poll conducted Dec. 18, which showed that 52 percent of self-identified caucus goers either did not believe or were not sure the president was born in the U.S.
WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah also has been the subject of a media blackout over the issue.
Farah used to be a frequent guest on cable news shows, however once he made the decision to cover the constitutional issues of a president of the United States possibly being ineligible for the office, he became “persona non grata” on many of the same media outlets.”

Note: Americans are waking up!
Thanks to Dr. Orly Taitz, WND and others for their unwavering fortitude to continue the fight Americans across the country are starting to wake up to the fact that President Obama is constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of President, as substantiated by his newly released long-form Certificate of Live Birth, which shows that his father was in fact born in Kenya in 1936. At the time, Kenya was a British colony. Therefore Obama Senior was a British subject by birth (due to the fact that he was born within British-controlled territory). When President Obama was born in 1961, he acquired British nationality by descent, because his father was a British subject by birth. When Kenya gained its independence from Great Britain in 1963, President Obama became a citizen of the newly-formed nation.

The team that established and maintains this website is currently compiling election laws from all 50 states and in the near future will be providing forms, along with sample letters that registered voters can use to file a complaint.

Word of Caution: Although its great that many Americans are now beginning to wake up and are actively taking some action to have President Obama taken off the 2012 Presidential Election Ballots we need to keep in mind that those individuals with unlimited sources and/or resources, to include the deep pockets of anti-American George Soros, our own local and national elected officials and others, with the help of the MSM, who have spent years planning and successively perpetrating what I now believe could be the greatest fraud in American history are not going to go down without a fight and thus, as a result, I also believe that now more than ever we need to stick together as Americans (it's no longer Democrat or Republican) at this crucial time when our country and/or Republic needs us more than ever to see this thru. A Republic for which so many Americans have and continue to give their all to uphold and defend.
So the question is: Are you going to be part of the problem by continuing to keep your head in the sand hoping this issue goes away by itself or are you going to be part of the solution by stepping up to the plate and doing what ever it takes to uphold and defend our Republic before its too late?-You Decide.

The Department of Labor vs. America's Farm Kids
By Josiah Cantrall
America was built by farmers, and to this day, farming is a generational industry for many. So why are federal agencies, led by President Obama appointees, intent on taking steps that will undermine and ultimately destroy our nation's agricultural heartland?
It's no secret that liberals hold fatty, high-carbohydrate dairy and corn products directly responsible for our nation's obesity rates. They blame farting cows for a depleted ozone layer and consider farming streamlined animal abuse. Yet the government's attempt to effectively ban farm kids from working on their own farms goes beyond outrageous.
Under new standards being advocated by the Labor Department, youths under the age of eighteen would be prohibited from working in hay lofts, giving shots, caring for baby animals, and being in the vicinity of animals whose behavior may be "unpredictable." For the estimated 1.3 million youths living or working on farms, this means no longer being able to perform routine chores if the farm is set up as a corporation or a business partnership. Today, the vast majority of family farms are legally structured in this manner.
Citing agriculture's high fatality rate, uninformed liberal elites have taken it upon themselves to create an image of uneducated, backwards farmers who are too stupid to protect themselves and their children. In fact, the Labor Department believes that "[c]hildren employed in agriculture are some of the most vulnerable workers in America."
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
While America is busy engineering politically correct, "bubble-wrapped babies," farm kids are raised to endure adversity, work hard, and take responsibility.
Starting at very young ages, farm kids perform chores, fix machinery, and work with animals. I drove my first tractor when I was thirteen, and even then, I was behind the "learning curve." As a 130-pound high school freshman, I frequently wrestled 300-pound calves in order to perform routine chores like administering shots and tagging ears.
Was I a tough kid? Absolutely. We all were. We all are. My childhood was full of the strains, aches, and cuts liberal elites track as labor abuse statistics. Then and now, I view these temporary discomforts as evidence of a hard day's work.
Years beyond their peers in maturity and experience, farm kids are capable of handling adult responsibilities at a younger age. It's no surprise, then, that the majority of deaths and injuries occur to youth ages 16-19. Still, farm-related injuries among youths have declined 48% from 1998 to 2009.
On average, 113 youths under the age of twenty die annually from farm-related injuries. Dividing this number by America's 1.3 million farm kids results in a fatality rate of 8.7 deaths per 100,000 youths. However, 35% of these deaths are attributed to motor vehicles, ATVs, and drowning. Youth deaths are consequently 75%-85% lower than the 2009 adult fatality rate, which was 24.7 deaths per 100,000 workers.
In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control report that 716 bicyclists were killed in 2008, and a sample of 100 hospitals recorded that nearly 240,000 kids fourteen and younger were treated for bike-related accidents. In 2007, an additional 700-plus youths under the age of fourteen drowned.
Should we now ban kids from swimming and riding their bikes?
The University of Wisconsin attributes 63% of farm deaths to tractors and machinery -- tractor rollovers being the most common. If the Labor Department were actually concerned about farm safety, it could address this issue alone.
But it's never been about protecting people.
Bureaucrats hate the quintessential American culture of family farms. The independence-centered, "pull yourself up by your boot straps" emphasis on responsibility goes against everything they believe in. Simply put, people who think for themselves and work hard don't live off the government. And they certainly don't vote to keep liberals in power!
Farming is part of our identity. It is our way of life, our heritage, our patriotism, and the foundation of our generational values. Farming is the essence of our loyalty to our families and our God -- and there is nothing more sacred than that.
That's why unelected liberal elites don't want farm kids working on farms.
