For Christian American readers of this blog:
I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them. We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.
The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!
A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:
"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."
Thanks Jack!
I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and backed up previous remarks about Joe Biden’s mental capacity, calling the vice president “a joke.”
“After not knowing what state he was in, not knowing what century he was in, in 24 hours, and making what I would consider to be an absolutely disgusting appeal to racial sentiment, I said I wonder if he’s got the mental capacity to be the president of the United States,” Giuliani said. “This guy is like one gaffe after the other, and he’s a joke on late-night television. I think they’ve also locked him in his room for the rest of the campaign.”
Biden’s comment about putting voters “back in chains” occurred during a campaign rally in Virginia.
On the Mitt Romney tax-return controversy, Giuliani defended the Republican presidential nominee and said “the Romneys have explained this.”
“I think the concern is, you put out 10, 20 years of taxes, that’s all we’re going to be doing for the next two month,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with Gov. Romney’s taxes.”
He described Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan as vice president as “gutsy.”
“By picking Paul Ryan, he decided . . . we’re going to have a debate on the issues.”
The selection of Ryan has shifted the debate to Medicare and whether Americans want the government making their healthcare decisions.
Lesson - Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the
front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking
their dog. - During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old
daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be
President some day. - Both of her parents - liberal Democrats - were standing
there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you
would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless
people." - Her parents beamed with pride! - "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to
wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. - "What do you mean?" she replied. - So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the
lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over
to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the
$50 to use toward food and a new house." - She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me
straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do
the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" - I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." - Her parents aren't speaking to me
anymore.
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at
the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of
the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is
always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government.. A democracy will continue to exist
up until the time that voters discover that they can vote
themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that
moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise
the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that
every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy,
(which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average
age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of
history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these
nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage
to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage
to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to
complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to
dependence; From dependence back into bondage." The Obituary
of the United States of America follows:
Born
1776, Died 2012 It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law
in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts
concerning the last Presidential election:
Number of States
won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29 Square miles of land
won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000 Population of counties
won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million Murder rate per 100,000
residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson
adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly
the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the
country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
low income tenements and living off various forms of
government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is
now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's
definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's
population already having reached the "governmental dependency"
phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty
million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then
we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
If
you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you
are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just
how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to
our freedom..
This is truly scary for our children and their
children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
