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.

Glenn did not tell the half of it!
I watched the Glenn Beck show last night in eager anticipation of something that would make my head explode. His documentary “Revolutionary Holocaust : Live Free or Die” did not tell the half of how many Communism killed in the 20th century.
In fairness, I have to say he did a good job and hit the bullseye on the target he was aiming for. He had four main points:
- Nazi facism was based on left wing socialist philosophy
- Communism and socialism killed millions of people
- Che was a really horrible person that would have killed most of the people that wear his t-shirts and belt buckles and bikinis today
- Progressives revere Mao and Che and work for president Obama
Nazi is a contraction of National Socialism. Progressives try to foist off Hitler as a right wing movement to bash Conservatives. Nothing could be further from the truth. Glenn did a good job of exposing this lie. He connected the eugenics movement that Hitler acted out with the left wing intelligentsia of the day. Glenn glossed over the other people, besides 6 million Jews, that Hitler tried to exterminate, such as the Romany (aka gypsies), homosexuals and dwarfish, mongoloid and other ” physically defective” people. He also did not talk about how popular abortion was in Nazi Germany, just like the Progressives push here at every chance. He did talk about how Hitler supported socialized medicine, the welfare state and centralized control of businesses like they are pushing here today.
Glenn told about the horrible famine in the Ukraine forced by Stalin where seven million or more died. He skipped from there to some of the incredibly brutal mass murders that Mao did. Sure, Mao killed more than 70 million Chinese, but Stalin killed a lot more than “only” seven million Ukrainians. Glenn totally missed all the “purges” that Stalin did, where he gathered people, basically at random” that he considered enemies. He shipped probably twenty million people to his work camps (gulags) in Siberia and elsewhere. These political prisoners were worked to death in massive projects like moving riverbeds with shovels and wheelbarrows. It is estimated that Stalin killed over twenty five millions, not just the seven million Ukrainians.
You can hear about what mass murderers such as Stalin and Mao did in detail in documentaries on the History Channel, among other sources. Glenn only scratched the surface when it comes to the atrocities committed by followers of Marxist philosophy.
Do we really want a president who wants to “fundamentally transform America” into a socialist country run by dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao?
True power does not come from the barrel of a gun. It comes in the ballot box. Pray and repent of your apathy that allowed this problem to come up. Register and vote later this year. Get involved in politics. Get to know the candidates to make sure they hold to the conservative, small government principles you hold dear. Then vote them in and vote out the bums, the republican progressives and democrat progressives, that have created the mess America is in today.
Progressivism is totally un-American, despite the cheerful way Hillary talked about it. Progressives at all levels of government need to be rooted out and replaced. We can take our country back.

Science and Religion… are they the same?
For those who are paying attention, have you noticed a pattern lately?
It seems that those cartoons I grew up on, where a certain villain wanted to take over the world, were prognostications. In this case, though, there isn’t any one particular “person” who is doing this.
However, there does seem to be a concerted effort, everywhere, to harness the political will of the world in one entity. And with that, control everything you and I do. I am continually astounded at how fast things are happening.
There are hints appearing daily, and all seem to be small pieces to a larger puzzle. Starting with the engineered recession in 2008, leading to TARP. Then came G-20 and global socialism, followed by single-payer health care, cap and trade, and now climategate. The latest revelation is from a scientist stepping forward declaring a concerted push of what really is a religion. This scientist, a hurricane expert, rips anthropogenic global warming saying, “There has been an unrelenting quarter century of one-sided indoctrination.”
You can also find a push for worldwide population control. Now other countries have joined China’s call for a one child policy! The ultimate goal is controlling every aspect of your life! Perhaps, the boogieman is real, and he is pulling the strings. Your life and your freedom is at stake!
Who is this boogieman? Well, funny thing, in Islam, part of the purification ritual is to rinse your nose out in the morning and before prayer, this is called Ablution. This is because Islam teaches that Satan dwells up in the nose overnight!
Yea, I do believe Satan is real… and I also believe he is the mastermind!
Consider this… Lazy, duped American voters choose ”progressive” politicians because of the promise of goodies from a “benevolent” government. It is fitting, that they choose their own SLAVEMASTERS and willingly indenture themselves! What is more shocking is that they have purchased their own shackles, by supporting progressive environmentalist and animal rights groups with their own hard earned treasure in the name of benevolence.
It is ironic, and perhaps, just. But amidst all of this I am saddened. Saddened, because in this, they have rejected their own freedom. Worse yet, they have willingly and blatantly rejected God’s provision of righteousness for themselves, Jesus! (John 3:16-21)
So I ask… Are you tired of the lies?
Have you reject eternal life all for more leisure and a season to sin?
Did you know… That work is also a gift from God? (Genesis 3:17)
Are you prepared for the certain future of a tyrannical one-world government?
Behold… He says He is coming quickly! (Revelation 3:20; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 22:7,12,20)
Repent, that is change your mind. Reject the lie (Genesis 3:4-5,) that you are your own god. Trust Jesus as your only salvation as you would trust a parachute as Paul says in Romans 3:21-26

Christmas… Should Christians Celebrate a Holiday that May Have Pagan Roots?
This is a question many Christians have asked themselves. In this sermon consider…
We are assembled this day to celebrate the nativity of the Son of God. The theme is one full of wonder, of instruction, and of comfort.
We celebrate in December and some have said that Christmas is indeed pagan. There have been many other sermons given through the years that question whether Jesus could have been born in the winter season. I never really gave it much thought. Until 25 or so years ago, my pastor at the time, Richard Schermerhorn, gave a sermon. In it, he made a clear case for Christ’s birth having occurred on or around the time of year we celebrate it.
This sermon, preached on Christmas Day in 1844 covers the pagan roots of the holiday and the difference between ”high church” (read liturgical) and ”low church” read informal celebrations. I also contains some timeless wisdom… especially since the exact arguments are tried today!
If we remember…
It commends Christ to us as a perfect Savior. As a Redeemer. We need one who can suffer in our stead; one who can make a satisfaction to divine justice; one who can be a “mediator between God and man,” [1 Timothy 2:5] “a days-man betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both,” [Job 9:33] This qualification the Son of God acquired by his assumption of flesh.
It is a great thing for us because He did assume flesh!
Read the entire sermon here: WallBuilders – Historical Writings – Sermon – Christmas – 1844
For me and my house… we commemorate the day to the Lord!

A Time for Choosing – 45 years later
A Time for Choosing
by Ronald Reagan
October 27, 1964
To a significant degree, Ronald Reagan’s election to the presidency stems from this speech, given on national television on behalf of, and sponsored by, Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign. The speech remains amazingly fresh as a statement of modern American conservative philosophy four decades after it was delivered.
Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn’t been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used “We’ve never had it so good.”
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn’t something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector’s share, and yet our government continues to spend $17 million a day more than the government takes in. We haven’t balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We have raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations in the world. We have $15 billion in gold in our treasury–we don’t own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are $27.3 billion, and we have just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.

All the words could be spoken today and would have context in our current political climate!
Progressivism… liberalism… communism… whatever its name, it is tyranny nonetheless. To stand against these takes real courage and stamina.
Rest in peace, President Reagan!

Center Right? How about them Angry White Guys??
Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina is not going to let the Republican party become the party of “angry white guys“! Oh, no! He thinks we need the Republicans to be a “Center Right” party.
Hey RNC!!! We do not need a party that is slightly more conservative than the Progressive, oops I mean, the Democratic party. We have seen what that looks like. For far too long our choices have been:
- Tax and spend, ignore the citizens, back the corporate contributers
- Tax and spend, ignore the citizens, back the radical fringe lunatics
We need the federal government to get out of the tax and spend business. Since the mid 60′s our government has been victim of the Cloward-Piven strategy. For the last 3 years or so, since the Progressive party has been in control of the House and Senate and now, the White House as well, Cloward-Piven or Crisis Management strategy, has been the official doctrine for running the government. This is the doctrine behind Rahm Emanuel saying “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Continue reading »
