On Education Standards
This was an interesting read. I understand the slant of the New York Times, anything liberal is very good, but conservative ideas are shocking and abnormal.
The article seems to carry its intended slant toward dialectic.
The conservatives on the Texas Board of Education seem to be adding balance. Some ideas, like eschewing Thomas Jefferson and Latinos in history are just wrong.
However, it is the liberals who are on the wrong side on McCarthy, the origin of man, the Founding Fathers and especially, separation of church and state.
If you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it! We have been taught the separation of church and state protects the government from religion! It does not, it protects the church from intrusion by the government, read what it says in the first right in the first amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
You see, if they can weaken or change this basic right, all of the others can be modified to fit the needs of the state, also!
Our founding fathers were very smart, and they knew the Author of our rights was not any man, nor any institution established by man. Our rights are established by God Himself and cannot be taken from us.
It is the goal of the various “isms” vaunted about today to establish a secular government. One that does not recognize God, yet places government in that role. This was the exact opposite goal of the founders.
We are now reaping the fruits of progressivism foisted upon us in a public education system established by John Dewey. These fruits, although appearing beautiful and seemingly harmless, were designed to poison us over time.
Little by little, the ideas of Marx and other socialists, have been gobbled up by Americans in small pieces. They are offered to us under the names of psychology, sociology, evolution and economics. But now, when we find ourselves increasingly burdened by the shackles imposed upon us by these ideas, we yearn for liberty.
It is high time we throw out evil in all of its forms. We must start with the so-called experts who would readily have us shackled in irons under the guise of democracy. Democracy is NOT liberty. Liberty comes from God, Who transcends time and space!
The evil that hides behind a cloak of democracy, is the same evil that established itself in the mind of man in Genesis 3:4-5. It is evil to place the created thing on the throne of God.
Marxism, communism and socialism all place government as god. If then, your rights are established by this god, they can also be removed by this god. These “isms” use code words, one of the easiest to spot is democracy. Democracy is the tyranny of the majority. Democracy is the enemy of liberty.
There is one political party in the United States that has historically been on the wrong side of every moral issue. They have covered their lack of morality with platitudes designed to make all feel good. All the while, removing, in little bits, the very liberty given to you by your Creator.
Choose carefully, those you would have in authority over you. Do they intend to use that authority in service, or for servitude?

Dear Mr President
Dear Mr President,
America wants health care reform. What Americans do not want is a 2000+ page bill that takes complete control of the best health care system in the world.
Start over. Do it a piece at a time. We do not want this horrible bill that was written by union hacks and lobbyists. It is patently obvious that this bill is more about the growth of government leading toward a totalitarian state than it is about health care.
Actually, I look forward to you ramming this monstrosity down our throats. It will mean the end of progressivism in America for a long time. This fall we will vote in a congress that cares about America that will repeal your monstrosity and make America great again.
Do the country a favor. Resign, go back to Indonesia, disappear from politics. With any luck, within a few years, an American that is actually black will get into the White House.
Sincerely
Bradfoot

What is it About the Tea Party Movement?
Some of the sweetest words printed in any English language document are “Congress shall make no law…”
There is much debate whether the United States is a Christian nation or not. Frankly, I do not care. I know that among the founding fathers there were strong Christians. There were others who had a foundational knowledge of Christianity and a healthy respect for God.
The tyranny of King George forced these men to make a decision, one they did not make in haste. All knew the cost… it could be their lives and fortune. When they met at the First Constitutional Convention, it was Benjamin Franklin who suggested they open the meeting with prayer. This was no ordinary prayer, it lasted three hours! How many of us could sit through that?
When they crafted the Constitution, they knew firsthand the tyranny of a government of the elite. They also knew the great conflict to the other extreme, the God given liberty of the individual. The form of government they crafted was somewhere between these two extremes.
They also knew there must be a moral component to government, since government was bestowed upon men by God. They carefully chose words and crafted the Constitution of the United States. It would be this governing document to which ordinary men would give fealty. It was this document that created a nation governed by laws and not men. A nation founded on a document that constrains elitists from imposing their will upon us.
We come to a crossroads… They say that those who do not heed the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. We live in a time where those who find themselves in the service of government make every effort to destroy the Constitution. It is not just mere words on paper, but an ideal that nurtured humanity’s free spirit. This freedom created an atmosphere of creativity and accelerated ingenuity, and arguably the greatest nation on Earth!
It is these times we find ourselves at a crossroads similar to those that preceded the Civil War. The two party system then consisted of the Whigs, the materialistic party of westward expansion and fiscal responsibility. The other, who purposed continuation of slavery at all costs, was the Democratic Party.
In the Presidential election of 1856… the Democratic rallying cry was “Anybody but Pierce!” (Sound familiar?) After the election, the Whig party disintegrated, mainly over the morality of slavery. The fledgling Republican Party formed to fill the void.
It was in the next presidential election of 1860… the same pressures of tyranny that the founding fathers quenched had again made inroads into the governance of this nation. This time the tyranny came in the form of the morality of slavery. The controversy threatened to rip the heart from this nation. A young lawyer from Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, the fledgling Republican party candidate for president understood the foundation of the Constitution.
It was on 15 October 1858 at his last debate with Democratic Party candidate Steven Douglas that he said…
“It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings.”
This is the delicate balance the founding fathers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Does the Constitution constrain the elite from foisting their ideas upon individual men?
Abraham Lincoln knew the only answer was to abolish tyranny in all of its forms. He continued…
“It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, ‘You toil and work and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.’ No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.”
Yes, Lincoln knew tyranny. His supporters also knew tyranny. When there is no morality, then all things are permissible. It was this Republican Party that espoused the idea that everyone is entitled to the fruits of their own labor. Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
The Democratic Party and its leaders in the south, broke a national compact and stole states from the United States, creating the Confederate States of America. Lincoln’s only choice was to declare war to keep the Republic and further the moral truths imprinted upon our hearts by God Himself. Eventually right prevailed, and the Confederacy conceded defeat and the nation began reconstruction, but not with a massive loss of life!
As the nation began to heal, the Democratic Party continued to perpetuate the tyranny of elevating one man above another, the Republican Party furthered the moral fight by limiting; and ultimately extinguishing slavery.
It is today where we again find ourselves at a crossroads. We must ask, do Abraham Lincoln’s words transcend time and mean the same as they did then?
You betcha! That is precisely what guides the Tea Party today.
It is the Republican Party that recently has found itself a party of materialists devoid of a moral compass. Since, there already exists a party devoid of morality; it has been around since the inception of this great nation. It is because the Republican Party that wants to emulate the Democratic Party by seeking to deprive men of the fruits of their own labor and bestow them upon another who has not earned them.
This Tea Party movement is an assembly of regular individual Americans who believe as the founding fathers. They want to steer the governance of this country back to the foundation document, the Constitution. Some call the Tea Party a third party… it may well be, but so is the Republican Party. The Tea Party movement is helping to correct the course of the party of morality and thus correct the course of this nation. Those Republicans who choose otherwise should graciously step aside… but, it is the Tea Party that does not need the Republican Party.
Perhaps there is an older lesson in history that our founding fathers, and Abraham Lincoln knew about. It is a lesson God wanted the nation of Israel to learn. We would do well ourselves to heed the instruction given to us by the One Who created governance in the first place. Do we do it His way, as a nation who owes fealty to the law, or one who bows to a king?
Read it for yourself in 1 King 8:1-18…
“When Samuel became old, he made his sons judges over Israel. The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. Yet his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice.
Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.”
So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking for a king from him. He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”
Will we be like the Israelites who forsook God by crying for a king?

The Broward County Courthouse Debacle – A word from the mayor
I love politicians who profess to know math.
First, $37 per taxpayer in tax for debt repayment is going to expire. The benevolent mayor votes to expend $8 per taxpayer and declares a $26 per taxpayer savings!
Well… the was a vote for the courthouse, but there really wasn’t. Now they vote more taxes, when we were expecting a decrease… and they call it a decrease.
Yessiree… vote yea by not voting… tax the citizens of Broward County more and tell them you are saving them money!
Hold on to your wallet, citizens of Broward County, you are being fleeced again!
It is time to clean house of all career, government wonk, entrenched politicians by voting against them. From local levels all the way to the federal level, it is time to get real people who have held real private sector jobs to represent us.

The Pending Implosion Of Liberal Socialism
Here is another treatise on isms.
The left is bankrupt, there ideas empty, and there ideologies vapid. We are on the precipice of a worldwide collapse of economies.
There is a mass move to suck money from the world’s producers and lavish it upon the uber-rich, all the while extolling their so-called policies of taxing the rich. It is an empty game, and has been proven for decades.
Yet these elitists (read smarter than you) have retreated to colleges, where there ideas have not languished in mothballs. They have been used to indoctrinate an entire generation or two in communism. Some were smart enough to resist, however, most who have attended college in the last 15 years have bought the liberal swill and believe it to work.
They have trusted in the words of their teachers, they have trusted in “science.” But, what they have not done, is to check it out for themselves to see if what they were taught is real.
Well, check them out for yourselves… today’s “flourishing” communist economies, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela.
Any up for relocating tomorrow?

Haiti Update
Date: Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 1:14 PM
Subject: Haiti Update
Friends:
This email was forwarded to me by two Active Duty Air Force Colonels
(Trezza & Eickhoff)
that ran Aeromedical Evacuation Units and Air Force Hospitals in
Europe for many years.
Why am I not surprised! If they had you AE/Readiness guys running the
show things would have been different.
Sent to me by a friend who is a Sgt. Major in the Army
To All,
I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.
Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact.
Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead, the city smells like a charnel house.
The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetents or outright anti American. Most are French or french speakers, worthless every one of them.
While 1800 rescuers were ready willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID ( another organization full of little OBamites and communists that openly speak against Americana ) These two organizations exemplified their parochialism by:
USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami , yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.
Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.
Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn’t release a drop of it to the rescuers.
No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.
No latrine facilities, less digging a hole. If you set up a crapper everyone was trying to use it.
I watched a 25 year old Obamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird colonel in the air force, because he countermanded her orders, whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern. ” You don’t know what your president wants! The military isn’t in charge here we are!”
If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don’t waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.
If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans. Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society.
Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn’t need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc. That’s not just my opinion, that is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. “the French run, the UN treat us the same as when we were a colony”, at least Papa Doc ran the country.
Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US AIRWAY’s home from Phoenix . They slapped me with a 590 dollar baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn’t give us a discount or she would lose her job..
Pass that on to the flying public.
Nick

State of the Onion
POTUS gave his State of the Onion address last night. It went something like this:
blah blah blah Bush’s fault blah blah lecture blah health care is what America wants blah blah I am arrogant and do not listen blah blah we need to drill offshore and build more nukes blah blah mare bailouts blah blah bigger government blah blah repeal DADT and let gays serve openly blah blah you people need to listen to me because I know what you need and will do it to you and your great grand children’s grand children blah blah blah.
About the only thing that surprised me was his call for offshore drilling and building more nuclear plants. We need nukes to get off the middle east oil addiction, but it will be ten to fifteen years before any new nuke plants go online. Federal regulation is the main thing responsible for the long lead time for this. The radical environmentalist fringe is also good at keeping this completely carbon free energy source form becoming reality. Not that I care about the man made climate change hoax, even though BO proclaimed it was still reality in his speech.
Offshore drilling is all well and good, but what we really need to tap into is the reserves on the coastal region of ANWR. No, not in those pretty flower filled meadows the environmentalists show in their propaganda. The part of ANWR that looks just like Prudhoe bay, which coincidentally is just a few miles down the shore, where the oil pipeline head is. By the way, the pipeline is nowhere near capacity, so any new oil would be welcome.
Another place we need to be drilling is the Bakken oil formation in North Dakota and Montana. Tapping this formation alone could make us independent of the middle east oil fields controlled by violent repressive regimes that think human rights means sharia law and believe women are simply cattle.
Except for the energy blurb he gave that will be stomped on by the enviro groups the left includes in their power base, the speech was another example of how the Progressives that have taken over the Democratic party simply refuse to listen to what Americans want: small government in Washington that does not suck the life blood from the country.
That is obviously something that has to be done by American citizens demanding candidates that truly feel their pain and believe that the federal government has to be scaled back in a massive way. A second goal that is just as important is to root out the Progressive influence in education, the courts and the media that has worked for years to change history, deny God and dumb down the populace.
Do you truly believe America can and should be great again? Pray a lot. Get involved in politics. Join the local tea party movement. Consider running for government. If you cannot run, work to elect candidates that share your values and want to fix the problem that Ronald Reagan talked about in his first inaugural address:
government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
That is more true today than it was in 1981.
