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

The Lie ~ Bible Prophecy Today
Self explanatory treatise on the lie.
While this one is specific on the lie perpetrated at the end of the age, my take is much broader. I consider the lie as anything that asserts itself above God, His risen Son and His indwelling Spirit.
This is the essence of all sin.

Expelled Movie – The Ruse
From the mouth of a “smart” “scientist,” he’s basically saying man comes from rocks!
And because of the seeming necessary need for a designer, a conclusion of the field of science known as intelligent design, there are scientists who now push for the idea of panspermia. Panspermia is a belief, yes belief, that life came from spores in space… or some other race made us.
It is my firm conviction, that atheism is a rejection of God and morality, and therefore an act of the will.
Paul described this very well in Romans 1:18-23:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
This is the rallying cry for the powers of darkness… “Where is your God?” Notice the voice in the “song?” Scary, huh?
Paul ended with a warning, sorta, Romans 1:28-33:
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Oh, the scoffers have arrived as in 2 Peter 3:3. And people are asking the question in 2 Peter 3:4. But Peter explains it further in 2 Peter 3:5-8, thus:
For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
He is not slow, but very patient!

Or is there some semblance of truth to this?
Hold on to your wallet, Mr. and Mrs. Smith… someone is about to empty it!

OlberGoebbels mocks Creationists
Really?
Lemme see… man, created in the image of God… seems plausible.
Yet we are expected to believe…
Millions of years of rain falling on the hot rock of a young Earth… minerals collecting… lightning sparking and *poof*… an amino acid…
The same process happening a lot of times… and *poof*… a single cell… a cell with complex machinery to fold proteins exactly as needed to replicate the cell…
And *poof* that cell makes other cells that differentiate themselves and what they will do to sustain life in a collective…
And *poof*…
Oops… my bad… sounds like politics today. Just because you say it does not mean it it true… and most likely, is not!

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?

Hitchens attacks Gore Vidal for being a ‘crackpot’
Christopher Hitchens ought to know how to spot a crackpot! Mr. Hitchens enjoys some sort of success by peddling the same vitriol and clap-trap he decries in others.
There is a small bit of a feud playing across the pond.
“It does seem like a kind of bizarre personal vendetta being carried out on the pages of Vanity Fair, replete with factual inaccuracies and not very much substance.”
“Factual inaccuracies and not very much substance” seems to be the stock and trade of Mr. Hitchens! And it is correct that Mr. Hitchens makes money from “the crank-revisionist and denialist history he is now peddling."
One man is a literary genius and the other a philosopher. These so-called intellectuals, read that as we’re smart – you are dumb, have tangled themselves into the tin-hat crowd.
Ask yourself, do these two men really encourage you to live a better life? I thought not. So do we really care when the intellectual elite fight amongst themselves?
Sorry I brought it up!
