Syria: The World and Israel's Tipping Point Into Chaos, or The Rise of the Antichrist and How I Learned to Love The Bomb

Good day, y'all.  

Yes, I realize my title for today's blog entry has a Blake Edwards feel to it.  You remember the movie Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Love The Bomb)?  

Today's blog is going to feel about as off-the-wall as that movie.  I am going to be using a lot of biblical references, as always, to reinforce my comments.  So, if you don't want to know what time it is, or just how close it is to the Church being called out of this world, go about your business, don't bother reading this, reinsert your head and give your colon a nice french kiss.  But, if you want to get truly excited, or terrified, as to where we stand and based on your relationship with Jesus Christ, read on and follow the bouncing ball........

Let's get to it.

September 5, 2013, 12:43 p.m. (the time I'm writing this--events are moving so fast I feel I need to document the time to keep up with things).  Even though the Syrian crisis has been going on for quite some time, I have been sitting back until now compiling my thoughts and waiting to see what Commander Chicken (Obama) and Captain Fantastic (John Kerry) are going to do.  

First, I want to point out something that not a lot of people have noticed:  John Kerry, for all his faults, and for being the consummate ignoramus progressive that he is, knows a lot of the same ignoramus progressives that are running the political game in the rest of the world.  He spoke somewhat eloquently at the UN about the gassing of innocents in Syria, and I think, over-spoke his bounds.  His boss, the Cowardly Lion, I'm sorry, Commander Chicken, had to put a choke chain on him and yank him down a little bit.  When he spoke a few days later, his speech sounded much more in line with the administration's thoughts and ideas.  I presume that it was because what he had said before in front of the UN didn't play well in the Oval Office.  Obama doesn't like it when you back him into a corner, that's HIS job, a corner which would force him to cut bait or get off the pot.  Hillary never dared do that and we got Benghazi over it.  John Kerry just had his first lesson in what a putrid little coward Obama is and how he doesn't have a clue as to how to govern or lead.   It's one thing to lead from behind.  Obama's like the proverbial South Vietnamese soldier my stepdad used to see in battle:  Always running the other way with a weapon that he only dropped once and never fired. 

If you think I despise this current president and administration, you're right, though despise is a harsh word.  I feel sorry for him.  He is pitiful.  He is by far worse than Jimmy Carter or John Tyler or William Henry Harrison combined.  What Obama lacks in positive character traits he more than makes up for in deceit, the ability to lie, while looking you and the world square in the face, and the audacity to believe that we buy into what he is selling.  Apparently he's letting his feelings show because this week, while in Europe, he complained about the things that people say about him over here. 

I would be remiss if I didn't give a good high and hearty hello to the NSA, NSC, CIA, FBI, and all the other alphabet agencies that are watching my every word and every move.  How you doin'?

A lot of theories have been tossed out about why we have to strike Syria.  Why we have to go in there and punish Assad for using chemical weapons.  While it is true that chemical weapons were deployed, a smoking gun has yet to come up that shows Assad's responsible.  Let's get one thing perfectly clear:  I can't stand Bashar Al Assad.  I think he's a chinless, gutless wonder.  A despicable tyrant whose very existence I deeply frown upon.  And that takes me back to my TOTAL disapproval of President Gerald Ford's Executive Order outlawing the act of ballistic removal of dictators and leaders hostile to world peace and our national interests.  I think the whole Assad family should have faced that policy head on.  Let's face it, Syria is nothing more than a puppet regime for Iran.  They get funding and munitions from Iran.  Iran smuggles their weapons of war and armies of terrorists into Lebanon and Israel.  Originally, Lebanon was a nation created as a place for Middle Eastern Christians to have a home and to escape the persecution of Islamic regimes in the rest of the Middle East.  

The Bible speaks a lot about Egypt, Syria, Israel, and Iran (Persia) in present day.  The preceeding is going to be some things that have already happened in present day and should still be fresh in your mind so that you will know that the Bible is totally accurate, 100% of the time.  With that in mind, let's take a look at Egypt.  

 To give context as to why the Obama administration took out Hosni Mubarak, it's because Obama has members of the Muslim Brotherhood in his cabinet and has made deals with the Muslim Brotherhood, which allowed them to somehow steal a democratic election, allegedly, in Egypt.  There is a civil war in Egypt between native Egyptians and the Muslim Brotherhood, who want an Islamic caliphate and who want to bring all of Egypt under Sharia Law.  The Egyptian people don't want that.  They want to be able to choose who or what to believe in or not to believe at all.  So, the common people started off with protests at Tahrir Square, again, in protest of Morsi's EXTREMELY militant Islamic positions.  When outright warfare erupted in the streets, the Egyptian military was forced to act because for the Egyptian military the number one responsibility is to the nation and the people of Egypt, to protect and defend them the same way our military does for us and our way of life.  Morsi was taken into custody, and just as it said in Isaiah 19, the nation has been cast into chaos.

From Isaiah 19, A Prophecy Against Egypt

19 A prophecy against Egypt:

See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.

² “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
 
³ The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing;
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists.
 
⁴ I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

The Egyptian military is currently waging a war against the Muslim Brotherhood and other Muslim fanatics, while Commander Chicken and Captain Fantastic parse words over whether it was a coup or not a coup. 

Just for the record, heck yes it was a coup, a good coup!  A righteous coup!  

Israel doesn't need a slobbering fanatic like Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood on their southern border.  Mubarak may have been a demon, but he was OUR demon, we created him, we funded him, and he kept the peace between Egypt and Israel.  I don't care whether you think it was right or wrong, that's just a fact of life.  

Use this as guidepost marker #1 as to the infallibility of the Bible and the Middle East.

Syria.  For this, we need to go all the way back into Libya before the elections of 2012.  The Arab Spring, which should be called what it is:  The Muslim Uprising, took down Khadafi.  The media, and for the most part, the American people, were lied to by Obama when he decided to send in weapons and fighter jets to attack government positions and to help the rebels.  What he didn't tell you was those rebels were loaded with Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda operatives.  

Khadafi was whacked.  I feel a little trepidation in this part of it because it only appeared on one or two websites and the story was not broken or used by any of the MSM or even Fox News, and this is about the cause of Benghazi. 

This story has a Part A and Part B

First off, let me wrap up Part A by saying the media and the country didn't really know of Obama's gun running in Libya.  He did a better job of covering it up than they did with Fast and Furious, so maybe this mutt can learn a new trick.  This part, if true, is so amazingly terrifying that anyone in our government even considering such an act of overt treason even chills me.   The story goes this way.

We all know what Hillary and Obama said caused the attack on the Benghazi Embassy and the CIA Annex:  A shoddy movie made by an Egyptian Coptic Christian living in America ridiculing Islam and Mohammad.  Problem is, that film has never seen the light of day.  It's not even finished.  That's all part of their coverup.  A massive one that includes the State Department, the Oval Office, and the DOJ.  As the story goes, Ambassador Stevens was to be kidnapped in Benghazi, that's why security was stripped down to the minimum, military was told to stand down, they wanted it to be a soft kidnapping, meaning no severe bloodshed or warfare jeopardizing more loss of life on either side.  Stevens was to be held as a bartering chip against the US to seek the release of the Blind Sheik who is in US custody for life for the 1993 World Trade Center Bombings.  The purpose of this little deal was to be an "October surprise" to go down just before the election.  You have to remember Mitt Romney was wiping Obama's butt in the debates, was quickly closing ground, and Obama faced a very serious and credible threat to his re-election prospects.  

In an effort to provide a distraction and pull off an October surprise that would make him look like a hero and help restore his stupifying lack of foreign policy prowess, they hatched they plan for the soft abduction of the US Ambassador.  For some unknown reason, I think it was because Darryl Issa and others in Congress were ratcheting up so much heat on Obama that he backed out of the whole deal.  I believe the Muslim Brotherhood was eyeball deep in this whole scenario and the slaughter of Benghazi started when they realized Obama and the US had double-crossed them.  That is why Stevens was tortured and sexually assaulted so violently as a show of their displeasure to Obama for being double crossed.

Now, on to Syria.

Syria is just a way to take the focus of every other scandal, including Benghazi, off the front page.  Syria doesn't mean anything to the US.  It's not in our national interest, the only thing that puts it even close to our national interest is the border they share with Israel.  So, here's how I see Syria shaping up based on what Commander Chicken and Captain Fantastic decide to do:

If Obama decides to "shoot" across Assad's bow, which I think is McHale's Navy at its best, and I base this on two things:  Commander Chicken has been running his mouth for so long about not needing Congress that Assad is now laughing, Putin's laughing, the Mullahs in Iran are laughing, and Obama is looking dumber than a Mad Magazine cover.  So he goes ahead and shoots.  Everything's already been moved while we've been stalling and telling the world what we MIGHT do.  Who knows where the merry-go-round of WMD's is now sitting.  If he does launch on Assad and it damages his regime enough to where it looks like he's going down, he's going to want to take a shot at somebody.  That chinless punk will throw everything he has left at Israel and he will use Hezbollah to do it.  If he launches on Israel, then it's all over for Damascus.  

Isaiah 17 
A prophecy against Damascus:   
See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

It won't take much of a shot from Israel to destroy Damascus as the Russians have a quasi-nuclear factory just on its outskirts.  This could also be a very good reason as to why Russia has pulled out its scientists and troops from the Damascus/Northern Syria area and put them back a safe distance.  The Bible doesn't say anything about Russia retaliating.  Strangely, it doesn't say anything about Iran (Persia) retaliating after Damascus is wiped out.  This is just conjecture on my part, but I think that while Damascus is being erased in the overnight hours, and while Iran is watching and seething over its puppet regime being destroyed, I am thinking Israel might be slipping one or two shots against Iran's nuclear program.  

I know a lot of you are thinking, "What about the rest of the Arab world?"

There is not a SINGLE ARAB NATION that wants to see Iran with a nuke.  Saudi Arabia has begged Commander Chicken over and over to do something, they've even back channeled tacit approval for Israeli jets to fly over their territory if it means taking out the site that is enriching plutonium so Iran can make a nuclear weapon.  All the other little nations of the Arabian peninsula are right behind Saudi Arabia.  So, that could be scenario A.   

But, in fairness, here's Scenario B:

*This one still needs a bit of developmental time, but a quick skeleton outline could be this:  

Damascus is accidentally wiped out by a nuclear device that Iranian Revolutionary Guards are trying to sneak out of Syria and return to Iran, giving Iran the shield of a nuclear weapon to hold over all the Middle East if they see Assad going down.  Or, if Assad should decide to start lobbing WMD's as he's going down.  But, Persia can't be destroyed because of Ezekiel 38-39.  She has to march with Russia and God has to destroy 5/6 of their amassed coalition.  Why is it 5/6 instead of the whole lot of them?  Because God wants 1/6 of them to go back to their village and towns and tell their tribesmen and people that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did this.  

Personally I think it's scenario A.

We are coming SO CLOSE to the Rapture of the Church, to being taken off this rock.  I believe there is NOTHING prophetically left.  My struggle is whether the Damascus scenario happens before or after the Rapture.  If it happens before the Rapture, we are going to know that it's time to grab our bags and look up and listen up for the loud blast of the shofar and the voice of the archangel and the Lamb of God coming for His Church.  For those of you that are interested, we are living at the end of the third chapter of Revelation.  The Rapture occurs in Chapter 4, verse 1.  For all I know, ANY time is the right time for Jesus to come.  It could even happen before I have a chance to post this.  

The other thing to remember, is that we war with principalities of the air, a spiritual warfare.  The Christian battle is not with men and machines, but with spirits and principalities in high places as told Ephesians 6:

The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

I want to take special effort to say that I PRAY for the safety of our country and our government and yes, even Commander Chicken.  I do not wish that any should perish.  I DO wish to see him brought up on charges of impeachment and his fate decided by Congress.  This man has done enough to warrant impeachment that at some point or another, SOMEONE has to come through with it.
 

That said, we do not have leadership either in the Oval Office or the halls of Congress that we can count on to do the right thing to protect us or keep us safe.   You've probably heard preachers say this before, but it's times like these where you truly understand what was meant by the full armor of God.  The Bible always has been and always will be accurate and correct, the rock on which to build your house.  I'm going to end with this:

A Prophecy Against Egypt

19 A prophecy against Egypt:

See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud
    and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
    and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.

² “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
    brother will fight against brother,
    neighbor against neighbor,
    city against city,
    kingdom against kingdom.
³ The Egyptians will lose heart,
    and I will bring their plans to nothing;
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
    the mediums and the spiritists.
⁴ I will hand the Egyptians over
    to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
    declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

⁵ The waters of the river will dry up,
    and the riverbed will be parched and dry.
⁶ The canals will stink;
    the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.
The reeds and rushes will wither,
⁷     also the plants along the Nile,
    at the mouth of the river.
Every sown field along the Nile
    will become parched, will blow away and be no more.
⁸ The fishermen will groan and lament,
    all who cast hooks into the Nile;
those who throw nets on the water
    will pine away.
⁹ Those who work with combed flax will despair,
    the weavers of fine linen will lose hope.
¹⁰ The workers in cloth will be dejected,
    and all the wage earners will be sick at heart.

This is coming to the whole world, not just Egypt.  This is the future of mankind, not just Egypt.  You can either take the hand of Christ and avoid this or you can take the hand of man and be devoured by this.  The choice is up to you and this is your either/or altar call.  All of this is RIGHT NOW in our face.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, grab onto the Savior's hand while  His hand is still reaching out to you because after the Rapture, it becomes almost impossible to find that hand still reaching out.  Billions will die before the King of Kings comes to establish his Kingdom here.  

John 16:2:  "They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

Remember to pray for the Coptic Christians and Muslims that are renouncing Islam and coming to Christ.  They are the martyrs under the alter spoken of in Revelation 6:9:

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.

Pray unceasingly for them and for anyone you know who isn't saved and may the peace of God be upon you all.

Maranatha!  

Shalom

PS--Next blog entry will be about the persecution of Christians in America.

Progress and the centralized government (or, how to be overwhelmed with technology that you don't notice on your way to tyranny)

In this entry, I'm going to attempt to tie biblical prophecy to our current system of government, which bears almost NO resemblance to what our founding fathers created and shares more features of despotism than freedom.  Also, how I believe the progressive movement is looking at its last gasps in the early part of the 21st century.  But, for those of you that LIKE socialism and being told what to do about everything from what you can transport yourself in to who and what kind of sex you can have, well then, go on with your bad self.  Take another bite of that maggot filled apple, as Mick Jagger said in that famous song, Shattered.  

We live in some very, VERY strange and challenging times.  Times that cause most ordinary people to be in extreme fear and distress.  Not that I'm special, I'm just your ordinary child of the living God, bought and paid for by Jesus' sacrifice at Calvary's cross, but I'm just not scared.  I think I'm more closely akin to that guy that sits on the edge of the tub and watches the drain water swirl around the drain, taking all those little dead skin cells and soap bubbles off to the sewer.  I actually think these days cause me to be somewhat bemused.  I'm not crazy.  The necrotizing fasciitis did not get to my brain, God knows enough drugs and chemicals have been pushed through my body the past two years, but those aren't the reason either.  

I think the reason is is that I'm an evangelical.  There it is, that terrifying word to liberals and idolators around the world.  Evangelical also means FUNDAMENTAL.  I believe the Bible is the true and unadulterated word of God, written by holy men as breathed upon them by the Holy Spirit.  I know how the story ends.  I've read the Book.  But even if I didn't read the whole Book, and all I read was the book of Revelation, I still know how the story ends.  It's the in-between Genesis and Revelation I would have missed out on by cheating.  

This nation, I believe, is where it's at right now because God is in control of ALL things.  He appoints kings and raises and collapses kingdoms.  

Daniel 2:21:  And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

Thankfully, He's given me the discernment and wisdom to see things as they truly are.  So, I have no reason to be afraid.  As a matter of fact, for me to live in fear would be to live in sin because He gives me a heart and spirit of boldness and not of fear.  If I were to fear it would be the same as telling Him, "You do not tell the truth, I do not believe in the words of Your book, you're just a doddering old fool sitting up in heaven having created a solar system loaded with galaxies and universes and letting it run amok on its own, like a pinball game."  As for big government, the system we seem to be ruled by now, along with Daniel 2:21, the Lord also gives us the government we ask for.  He gives us the leadership that we deserve.  A lot of you are probably going to flip out, curse me and tell me that I'm full of it or a hypocritical fraud, and that's alright.  That's your problem, not mine.  Your ignorance and lack of knowledge showing up.  But as it says in the scriptures:

Proverbs 14:34:  Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.


So if you look at all that's bad in our country and our government, one would have to say that as Americans, we are fairly sinful.  I can say that because America has a deep and rich Christian heritage.  I don't care what that idiot in the White House says, Muslims make up less than one percent of the population.  Christians make up 80-85% of the population of our nation.  Yet, who does he hang out with?  And who does he pray with?  Muslims.  


Europe and the Asian nations, but especially Europe, are so far removed from the gospel that God doesn't even hear them anymore.  They have spent CENTURIES giving the Lord the middle finger and perverting Christianity to where it's widely despised and hated.  Churches in Europe are closing like a black hole sucking in anti-matter in outer space, but I digress because I don't care about Europe.  That was just an illustration.
Six hundred years ago they fought the Crusades to keep the Muslims out and now they've let them right back in again with multiculturalism.  To those that don't know to study history and do not heed the warnings of history, history comes back around at you like a boomerang to smack you in the head.  

America has many parallels to Old Testament Israel.  Israel would agree to obey the covenants brought down by the prophets and they would live in peace and harmony, sin would be minimalized, and then after a few generations, they wouldn't listen to the wisdom of their fathers, and they got back into sin, chiefly idolatry.  They worshiped various gods like Baal and Molech, Molech being quite interesting because I believe he is a ancient form of the practice of abortion.  Molech is an Asyrian god, for lack of a better term, a fertility and good harvest god.  An ugly looking little creature, he looks sort of like a chimnea with a belly where the fire was lit.  At certain times of the year, live babies would be thrown into the fires to apparently satisfy the blood lust of Molech in order to grant good harvest and fertility of livestock and all that sort of garbage.  The bottom line is they murdered their babies in the fires to better their outcomes.

Here today in America, we have murdered over 60 million--60 MILLION--of our babies.  The greatest gift that God could ever give a person.  I can tell you as a father of a gorgeous, vivacious, smart, creative nine year old I could NEVER, EVER, no matter what my socio-economic position would be, never have considered aborting her, even though I was 41 when she was born.  She has filled an ache in my soul, she has tempered the feeling and the despair of loss that Lori and I have faced over the loss of 4-5 of our own children in miscarriages.  We were both one percenters of having a child, me having been a Type 1 diabetic since age 25 and Lori with her reproductive problems.  There should have been no chance and yet we have Alison.  She was born two years to the day after we lost twins.  So, for me, it's extremely painful and frustrating and enraging issue when I hear of these big nasty loud mouthed feminazi buffarillos that stomp their feet and demand the right to murder another human being in the name of "family planning" or "personal choice".  They say their body is their own.  You couldn't be further from the truth.  The truth is your body is rented, on loan from God, as a vessel for your soul to inhabit while you're here on earth.

1 Corinthians 6:19:  Do you not know that your body is the temple of The Spirit of Holiness who dwells within you, whom you have received from God, and you are not your own?


Because of rampant drug and alcohol abuse, our minds have become dulled to the difference between righteousness and sin.  We see movies and television shows where the heroes are morally and characteristically flawed.  They eventually do good while committing a whole lot of evil and sin to get there.  Hollywood wants to confuse and muddy the barrier of right and wrong for society to such an extent that the average person, without the benefit of true biblical fundamental convictions, throws up his hands and says, "To hell with it.  I'm tired of looking like an idiot and fighting a losing battle.  I'll just go with the flow and whatever works for you without hurting me is OK."  But what happens, that sort of poison creeps into the lexicon of our elected officials.  Look at Anthony Weiner, Elliott Spitzer, San Diego's Mayor Filner, Barney Frank, Mark Sanford, and every other disgraced public official who has walked away ashamed or in chains.  Sad thing is is that there's always one more willing to step into the gap.  One more who comes in with the notion of American idealism, the love of country and Constitution draped in the American flag as he takes his oath of office, proud to call himself a Constitution loving conservative or even independent who, inside of a year, becomes corrupted by the sleaze and easy money of K Street in Washington, DC, who concern themselves with what is not best for the country, but is what is best for their little block of constituents or lobbyist handlers and before you know it, we're in 2013 America.  

We have a president whose rise from obscurity to the top of the political food chain is only rivaled by John Kennedy.  But all comparisons die there.  Kennedy, even though he was a womanizer, did love this country and stood up to the Russians, something O could take a lesson from, because Putin has sure made him look like the ass clown of the world.  I mean, really, Barry, why even bother going to the G20.  Our foreign policy is a joke.  Only John Tyler and William Buchanan and Jimmy Carter had worse foreign policies and presidencies than this guy, and yet people want to anoint him as the Messiah. 


The point I am making (after my little rant) is we have sold ourselves down to a centralized government, whether it be through apathy, delusion, or as it says in Romans 1:28: 

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

The bottom line is is that it's OUR FAULT.  We are responsible.  The founding father's gave us a nation, a Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Declaration of Independence, everything we needed to make self-governance amongst the nations work and we have blown it.  We keep electing the same corrupt, disgraced figures over and over to congress and the senate.  Both side of the party line are guilty of defrauding the people and committing treason against the Constitution, the very document they swore to uphold, defend, and protect with hands carefully placed on a Bible.  The tip of the arrow was supposed to be the federal government.  The smallest government possible to do the 17 things the Constitution allows it to do.  The broadest point of the arrow was to be the people.  The state governance being in the middle.  It is up to the PEOPLE to elect moral and ethical men and women to both houses.  It is up to the people to be their own watchdogs rather than allowing the fourth estate, or what they say passes as journalism in American, to be the watchdogs of government.  They've corrupted themselves in the sewage of liberalism taught in the colleges and the progressive movement that has failed three times before in America.  Right now, we're in the fourth throes of progressive socialism in America attempting to take over.  If failed under Woodrow Wilson, FDR, again with the hippies and the Weather Underground, Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Piven, and all the radicals who have gone from saying don't trust anyone over 30 to being the very people they were telling us not to trust, except their brand is Fabian Socialism.  

The federal government has gone from bottom-up to top-down.  Every year thousands of laws are being passed by government agencies that dictate every aspect of your life.  They say, "Fear not!  For we have your best interests at heart.  You're just a Regular Joe.  You don't understand what we understand because we're smarter than you.  We have all the answers!  Just look at the Obama campaign.  Look at the fools in Detroit waiting for Obama-everything for their lives.  The man has bankrupted this nation by driving up the debt faster than the first 43 presidents combined.  He dictates what we will drive to how we will light our houses, heat our houses.  He gives billions in OUR TAX DOLLARS to crony capitalists who waste it on the Solyndras or the latest fad that we're told will be in our best interests.  The very enemies we have waged war against since 9/11 are the most common visitors to the White House and hold many top-level jobs in the administration. 

Last month, of the 269,000 alleged jobs created in America, 238,000 of them were part-time, less than 30 hours a week.   The pipeline from Canada that he's so against and the State Department is so for would create more jobs for Americans than anything he could think of or tried collectively of all that he's tried to do.  He screams about getting off foreign oil yet he won't do the one thing that will kill two birds with one stone.  Guess where the oil goes if it doesn't come to America?  China.  Like we need them getting more oil for their ever-growing economy and military industrial complex.  

The only thing this king who doesn't wear any clothes is good at is destroying America under the guise of creating a utopia for the greater good, but he destroys by class and by race.  The Racist in Chief, The Great Divider, he opens his mouth on campaign stumps and more jobs are lost.  But, we got him.  And we're stuck with him.  And my first thanks goes out to the 47% of Americans that would rather sit on their ass and collect their EBT cards than work to feed their families.  

2 Thessalonians 3:10:  For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."


Again, teaching another generation to put their hands OUT instead of putting their working hats ON.  It's worked so well in the inner city ghettos and housing projects.  Welfare anyone?

Second, the retards in the unions that think $15/hour is a good minimum wage--it's called minimum wage for a reason because minimum wage is meant for you to move up and develop skills--you're a big reason this country is swirling down the toilet.  Minimum wage is not meant for you to be comfortable where you're at.  It's not meant for you to build a career asking, "You want fries with that burger?"  Minimum wage was meant to be a springboard to a better life.  It's bad enough that we have millions of illegals in fast food that don't understand, "No onions, please!", but now we're going to pay people to make a career out of Sonic or McDonalds.  And our 15-18 year old kids that need to learn how to work in corporate America will have no chance at getting the jobs.  

Thirdly, and most prominently, I want to ask you 2-3 million American conservatives who sat out the election with their thumbs alternating between between their mouth and their butts because they didn't like Romney, "are you people out of your mind?  You have to be because this has been death by suicide 1) for the Republican party and 2) for conservativism.  You're not really conservatives.  You just didn't want a Mormon, a man with a track record for living within his means and building successful companies.  These were the Americans that acted like progressives in disguise, sabotaging our chances to end the nightmare of Obama.  But nooooooooooooo.  So to you people, I say, thanks a lot, you jackasses. 

I also think, in conclusion, that technology has a whole lot to do with where we're at today.  It took 1500 years of technological advances to get us to the automobiles in the 20th century.  It took 68 more years to put the first man on the moon and bring him back.  It took roughly 15 years for us to go from push button telephones to a brick we could carry anywhere and talk to anyone at any time.  We have video games that first came on the landscape in the late 70's, crude and rudimentary as they were, it was an incredible leap from board games and card games.  And now, less than 30 years later, we have video games so real they have had to give them a new name, an avatar that makes the controller and the game box an extension of our personality and our soul.  We play games with no moral consequence, stealing is glorified, gangster life is praised, corrupt sports heroes are franchised and idolized, again lending to the impossibility of knowing the truth as the truth.  Truth has taken on so many shades of gray the only reason it isn't white is because it's still too dirty.  

At first, technology in the 90's was doubling about every 18 months.  Technology in the 21st century is doubling at just over every 10 months.  We have computers in the Utah desert that can track every living breathing person on the planet's every breath and word, 24/7/365.  And we need it because the evil that's within that's spread of a policy of no borders has left us vulnerable to the evil that may reside in your next door neighbor's home.  Americans don't hold their head up anymore.  WE look at the ground when we walk, or play palm sized games, talking on palm sized telephones, and doing everything we can on mass transit to make sure we don't make eye contact because you don't know who the crazies are anymore.  Everyone just wants to get home to lock their doors and hunker down in a bunker mentality, failing to get to know anyone in your neighborhood, and that my friends is tyranny.  Whether it comes from the fist of one man or the sheep-like cowardice of a whole population.  It changes only when we do as the Bible says:

2 Chronicles 7:14:  if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.


This is TRUTH!!!!!!!!!  Straight from the mouth of the living God.  I promise you, if everybody in America, of good conscience, would just read and do as this passage says, you would see a third reformation in America to far exceed any spiritual reformation that's come to America before.  The first one being just after the American Revolution, the second in the late 19th-early 20th century.  It can be done, people.  We can cut the Obamas and the Weiners and the Spitzers and the Larry Flints off at the knees.  We can end their lifestyles of profitting off of man's carnal nature and the lies and deception.  But, it has to start with each and every one of us.  

People say one individual can't make a difference.  I say you're wrong.  Step one in making a difference, go to your knees tonight, go to your knees in contrition with no pride, no hubris, with a contrite and broken heart, tell God you're a sinner, tell Him that you know you've done wrong by His law and if you were sentenced today you'd be sentenced to hell.  Tell Him that His son Jesus Christ came here and took on human form so he could live in a world as humans lived experiencing the same pains and same temptations that we experienced.  That He was perfect and did not sin.  And because of that He, and He alone, was qualified to be crucified on a cross for the sins of all humanity, past, present, and future, so that we may not die in our sins, but go to heaven.  All you have to do is BELIEVE and confess with your mouth to God and you will be saved.  You will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life, you will spend eternity in heaven with your Savior and your friends and loved ones that have gone on before you.  And in this life, you will know truth from the lie, honesty from deception, and you will become a point of light that others will see and seek  YOU out to have what you have.  I promise you.  And if nothing else, at least you're not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic as she goes down.  

Shalom.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

Today I don't really have a set topic for my blog.  Today is more or less a day where I'm just going to pose a whole bunch of questions.  You don't have to write me back.  You don't have to tell me I'm a wacko or hate-filled.  Step into your heart of hearts, leaving political correctness and all other stupidity behind, and just between you and God, answer the following questions to yourselves:

1.  We all know the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial.  I personally believe it was a correct verdict.  Why have none of the race baitors like Sharpton and Jackson stepped up to condemn the three black thugs that nearly beat a white boy to death on a bus recently?  Why not?  They were Trayvon's age and size.  Where's the social and moral outrage against that?  Why is there a double standard in America?  If you're black you can act like an animal and get away with it.  Could this thug behavior be spurred on by the black rap, hip hop, and gansta rap artists that polluting our airwaves and kids' brains?  The vocals are animalistic and the dances look like depictions of animal husbandry.  But not a word.  Mary Magdalene was nearly stoned by a crowd for being a harlot, and she was dressed in robes, but today we have Lil Kim and Beyonce and all the others black female entertainers dressed like three dollar whores.  This week there was a photo of Jay Z wearing a t-shirt depicting a disgusting sexual act between satan and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The outrage?  Are you exempt from outrage when you're a HUGE contributor to President Obama's presidency?  Where does it say social justice allows you to behave any damn way you want just because a couple hundred years ago your ancestors came to this country in the chains of slavery?  Why does the life of a slave from the 1700 and 1800's somehow give today's blacks a pass on social and moral behavior?  I can guarantee you that a lot of black gentlemen and black ladies that were freed from the curse and indescribable horrors of slavery would look at today's descendants and shake their heads and chains in disgust.  When will the black community listen to the likes of Bill Cosby, Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, JC Watts, Allen West, Alan Keys, Larry Elder, Condoleeza Rice--voices of black pride and responsibility and commitment to honor and duty and the principles that made this country great and begin living with values and dignity and shout down the Sharptons and Jacksons and Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee?  

When will voices of outrage shout together when ANYONE is hurt by another human being regardless of the color or race of either party?  What's it going to take before 73% of black children are born into two parent families instead of one parent families?  Statistics clearly show that if you're a black baby born to an unwed mother, you have a 38.5% chance of growing up and living in poverty.  If you have a momma and a pappa, you have an 8% chance of living in poverty.  

I believe that the reason people responded to Zimmerman trial was because it shone a bright light into the truths of the mentality and true nature of black leadership in the black community and the hypocrisy of the loudest voices decrying "fairness" due to color.  The NAACP doesn't care about the lifting up of black people, only making sure that they know who to fear and why to fear them.  Jackson and Sharpton don't really care about the betterment of the black community in 21st century America.  They get power and riches from seeing to it that there is a racial divide they can hammer on, even though it's created by themselves.  When was the last time any of them marched on the south side of Chicago, a city with the most stringent gun laws in America and 93% of the homicide victims in 2011 were black?  Ninety-one percent of the perps of those homicides were black.  

Ponder everything I just stated and if you feel like calling me a racist then you're part of the problem.  If you're white, quit apologizing for something that ended in 1863.  If you're a Democrat or a liberal or a progressive, understand that you and yours are 90% to blame for the way life is in black America today.  Your social engineering experiment has failed MISERABLY.  It reminds me of the movie Trading Places.  Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy, told old white farts in the Chicago markets bet $1 when Randolph Duke (Bellamy) tries to emulate social engineering by turning Dan Ackroyd into a penniless criminal and taking Eddie Murphy from being a criminal to being a black executive.  All over a $1 wager.  Thankfully in the end, Ackroyd's and Murphy's characters teach the old fart Democratic racists that when two people, regardless of color, work together for good, everybody wins.  I just tossed that in here because it's the perfect illustration of what we have today.  By the way, I can already hear some of you thinking and even thought it's none of your business, I have had many black, hispanic, and asian friends in my lifetime.  I even had a black girlfriend when I was in the Army, a lovely girl from Ft. Dix, New Jersey.  Beautiful, hard working, intelligent, well-read, from a two parent family who parents demanded the best from all six of their kids.  We broke up not because of color or race but because she was heading to one base in New Jersey and I was heading to one in Kansas.  So don't call me a racist when all I'm doing is pointing out the obvious to those that wish to see it.  Those that don't wish to see the obvious will call me a racist.

2.  What if you worked for a company who hired a new CEO that came with all sorts of paper credentials but very little applicable experience, sounded intelligent and erudite, brought people together as an organizer, promised to make the company super-prosperous.  He promised that everyone would share in the wealth, he promised transparency and an open-door policy.  No orders or rules would be changed without first letting every employee read about it on the company website for three days before it was put into action.  

Sounds like a great guy?  

Then, after a few weeks, he became embroiled in one scandal after another.  These scandals gave the company a black eye.  Even cost the company some lives.  And what if, because of his plans and policies, the reliability of the company to pay its debts was downgraded and no more banks would loan to the company without guarantees of some sort of tangible repayment.  That means company assets to you and me.  And all during this time, unemployment in the company rose 15% from the time he took over until now.  Yet the investors granted him another term as CEO, only to watch him cripple the company's prestige and standing in the business world.  A once-respected two century old company brought down almost to ruin in less than five years of this person's job.  During this time, he became more heavy-handed and belligerent to critics, people who didn't like the way things were going.  So he hired outside investigation firms and directed HR to launch spy campaigns on the people that worked in the company behind their backs and without their knowledge, in violation of the company's stated rules of conduct and protocol.  What would you do?  Now, the easy thing is to say, "We'd run that SOB out on a rail!  We'd toss him out of his penthouse office and let him feel how bad it feels when you get to the bottom.

If you're willing to do that to save a large corporation, why are we not willing to do that to save the United States of America?  Why are we willing to sit there and watch this communist America-hating occupier of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue continue to sit there like Louis XIV along with Marie Antoinette?  Why has no one in Congress done what Congress is supposed to do and brought Articles of Impeachment against Barack Hussein Obama?  All of the scandals that he calls "phony" lead right back to his Oval Office.  You know it.  I know it.  Hell, the IRS scandal alone, which is nothing compared to what Richard Nixon tried to do with the IRS, is a perfect example of a high crime which is an impeachable offense.  Richard Nixon resigned rather than risk what Obama is doing.  As President, Obama is required to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?  He swore to it with his hand on a Bible (we assume).  It was on television.  We all saw it (and most of us cried).  It is a wonton illegal act for him to say he refuses to enforce certain laws he disagrees with.  That's not HIS perogative.  That's like saying, CEO of XYZ Company doesn't believe in the sexual harrassment policies of XYZ company, so rather than live by and enforce them, he chooses to put his hand up the skirt of every female in the company, from the intern in the blue dress clear up to the highest ranking female in HR.  Right there, that is an example of high crimes and misdemeanors.  He's lied to Congress, he's lied to the American people.  Lying to Congress gets you sent to prison.  Ask Duke Cunningham from California.  

I don't understand America.  I realize that you won't get the truth out of the drive-by mainstream media.  I understand that NBC is a lapdog to Obama.  I understand that the guy that owns NBC is a close personal friend and confident on economics and business matters in the United States.  But we have the Internet.  We have whistle blowers.  We have cable news, talk radio, social media, YouTube.  We have so many different ways to get information and truth out but America just sits there with it's thumb up its ass.  

What is wrong with you, America?  What is wrong?  Why this willingness to hand over your Constitutional rights, bought and paid for by the blood of patriots from the beginning of this country all the way up to Afghanistan and Iraq?  We talk about what we ought to do for the troops, and what we owe them is the truth.   You're crapping on the troops by not bringing this man down, or by not demanding special prosecutors for the various scandals that are coming at us.  When are YOU going to demand that your elected officials that you pay for get off their dead asses and do our bidding, which is their job?  Attack this imperial White House, restore the balance of power between the three branches of government, quit letting people tell you that if they defund Obamacare they defund the government.  

That's NOT TRUE.  

When are we going to demand the IRS be relegated to the ash heap of history and a flat tax imposed?  Now, I know some of you mathematically challenged, my PC word for "stupid", are going to think that Billy Bob in Lizard Lick is going to pay more in taxes than a Rockefeller in New York.  WRONG.  Billy Bob, if you make $35,000 a year, you're going to pay $3,500 in taxes.  Mr. Rockefeller, if you make $100,000,000 a year, you're going to pay $10,000,000 in taxes.  Close the loop holes that allow Rockefeller to take his money offshore and hide it to reduce his taxable amount.  Simplify tax credits.  Cut capital gains tax.  Get smart and simplify the tax codes to 10 pages MAX.  Why can't Americans scream and yell about that?  Why is it just the 1%, the freaks that want gay marriage and animal marriage and car marriage and every other disgusting thing, why do they get the play on the nightly news?  Why isn't the silent majority, as Nixon said, being listened to?  Because they're remaining silent.  Why are the Tea Parties being marginalized and being called racist?  Explain to me why a good idea gets buried under miles of piles of beaurocracy and something as heinous and destructive as Obamacare or the Dream Act become law inside of 30 days?  Obamacare has NOTHING to do with health care.  It's not going to open up the door for ONE person to get health insurance.  But look through the unbelievable stack of papers two ceilings high and you'll blow an o-ring with what rights of yours are being ripped apart by Obamacare. 

So here's your assignment:  Sit down some day, shut out the rest of the bs, tell little Johnny to put down the PlayStation because his ass is getting fat from sitting around and go outside and play like we used to, and then mom and dad, think about what you're prepared to do to straighten out this sinking ship known as America?  What are you prepared to do to keep your kids from being chained to China?  Do a gut check, figure out your solution, and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Call your elected officials and REMIND THEM who they work for and how fast the Tea Parties came to fruition and how they affected the 2010 elections.  Let's get term limits going pronto.  We're sick of the career politicians like Buttocks Pelosi, Tammy Faye Boehner, and Dingy Harry Reid. 

America, FIND YOUR BALLS and make yourselves heard.  Oh, and tell Hollywood and the entertainment industry to SHUT UP.  You're paid to entertain.  We don't care about your beliefs.  Springsteen, sing me a little ditty and make me want to buy your next album, instead of making me want to turn you off and make me laugh in your face.  Actors, you're paid to make us believe you're someone you're not.  Remember, John Wayne was John Wayne on camera and off camera and was an American icon, a representation of what truly make America great.  Matt Damon, Jason Bourne is a character with apparently more balls than you in real life because you're afraid of guns.  Just because you're afraid of guns doesn't mean you can end my Second Amendment right.  

Let's save what we have left before we have to start speaking Mandarin, and pray for the peace of Israel and Jerusalem daily.  Our support of Israel is the ONLY reason we still have the grace of God's hand resting upon us.  Remove that and we are finished. 

Now, America, get to work.

Compromise

Today I feel like I'm being led to chat about "compromise". 

Compromise is an ambiguous word to me.  It never gives a tipping point for when too much is enough or not enough.  So let's start by looking at Webster's definition of "compromise".

1a : settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions

b : something intermediate between or blending qualities of two different things

2: a concession to something derogatory or prejudicial <a compromise of principles

 

Let's talk about numbers 1b and 2 in the definition.   

 

Before my grandfather died in 1988 he warned me not to stand next to too many people that compromise.  He said, "A man that will compromise what he believes in is a man that will stand in the middle of a two lane highway straddling the yellow line.  Pretty soon you will go from the life you know to being a hood ornament on a Mack truck."

 

I think what he was trying to tell me was a) know what you believe; b) know why you believe it; and 3) be prepared to stand your ground and defend why you believe it.  

 

2 Timothy 4:2--Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.

 

That is a huge problem today.  Not everyone is willing to stand their ground for a myriad of reasons.  They are willing to go along with the societal and cultural winds that prevail whichever way they may blow, basically "yes men" to the tyrannical sycophants that scream about diversity.  

 

The one thing I've learned about diversity is if you're not willing to compromise what you believe to agree with someone who has a "diverse" belief, you're going to get seriously idealogically pummeled.  Some current examples are the homosexual agenda and "race relations".  As for me, because of my stiff beliefs and firm stance on most anything you want to talk about, I am used to being labeled a facist or a Bible thumper or a right-wing idealogue.  I am used to it and kind of accept it as being a badge of honor, particularly the "Jesus freak" thing.  The Bible even talks about compromise but in the scriptures, it's called the "double-minded man".

 

James 1:8--A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

 

So to amplify that or bring it into the modern context, I know that all of you can relate to what I'm about to say because we have all had it happen to us.  Here's the scenario:

 

You're working at a new job, you haven't been there long, you're doing everything you can to try and impress your bosses because you know it's tough to find a job and you just happen to be a person that gives 110% of yourself 110% of the time.  From out of nowhere you start getting other employees dropping little hints about you being really gung ho and you're going to burn out.  You need to learn to find your stride.  Basically, you're being told, "Knock it off!  You're making us look bad."

 

And then enters that most wrong of philosophies:  I'll just go along to get along.

 

And there you have it, compromise.  You've compromised what you believe in to be approved of by riff-raff that doesn't sign your paycheck and would rather suck the treasury dry.  

 

I am reminded of a great line from John Wayne in the movie McClintock.  When GW McClintock (John Wayne) is being begged for the third time by a young man for work (his real life son, Patrick Wayne) because his father had just died and he was left to support his momma and his sister, GW took pity and gave the kid a job.  The kid rewarded him by knocking him off his horse because he didn't like begging.  This is the A side of compromise.  The kid was pissed at himself but took it out on the Duke because he finally broke down and begged for the job and compromised his values as to what he felt a man was.  Rather than beat himself up over it, he took a bite at the hand that was about to feed him.  

 

The B side to this is the way John Wayne reacted.  He said, "Son, I don't give handouts, I hire men.  You give me a good day's work I'll give you a good day's wage.  Nothing more, nothing less.  And no compromises.  I don't owe you and you don't owe me.  We get from each other."  

 

To which both sides shook hands and the movie continued on.  But my point is, when you compromise your values, it makes you feel low inside, dirty.  I can't imagine the way a prostitute feels when she turns her first trick.  That's got to be a horrid feeling, selling your soul and your body to make a few bucks, whether it be to feed a habit or a child.  Don't get me wrong, starving a kid to stick to your values is pride.  What I'm saying is have faith.  If your values are good, and your morals are true, you will get something as a reward sooner than later and besides, we do have a social net to protect the most vulnerable, including children.  I've never seen a government agency turn down a parent wanting to feed their child.  Matter of fact, the government can't wait to drop every program on you possible to take care of your children.  They don't care if you are sincere or not, but more on this down the page.  Do not walk away from what you believe to be true and righteous.

That translates into today's world, particularly politics.  Way too much compromise going on in the halls of government.  Way too many pro-lifers settling for limits on abortion to 20 weeks to stop abortion-on-demand any time, any place.  Is the baby any more alive?  Did you save any more children with that?  If you're pro-life, pro-life means the MINUTE conception occurs as referenced by the Lord's statement:

Psalm 139:14--I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well; and

Jeremiah 1:5--"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

 

Now, if THAT doesn't tell you that your life began the moment of conception in plain, bold, capitalized letters, then there is nothing to save you.  You're going to compromise everything to be part of the in-crowd.  Problem is, the in-crowd is likely on its way to hell.  That's a super highway there.  Just as it says in the Bible, 

 

Matthew 7:13--"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

All in the name of COMPROMISE.

Here's are some of my favorite compromises:

1.  Well, that's the Old Testament!  You can't take that as truth because it's all allegorical (sound familiar, Bill O'Reilly?)!

 

John 1:1--In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 

2.  That was written thousands of years ago!  Man's changed since then!

 

Yeah, man may have changed.  His heart may be far from Christ, but according to Hebrews 13:8--Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

 

3.  "Well, it's legal and everyone else is doing it."  See scripture above.

 

I knew a pastor once and I asked him a question, just theoretically, because I didn't believe what I was about to ask him any more than I believed he did, but you get to talking with friends and debate and sometimes you get asked a question.  This question for me was, "Ok, so you live a clean life, you believe in Jesus and the Bible, and you even give your heart to the Bible and the things the Bible says you're to believe in.  What are you going to do when you die and you find out that it's all just a fairy tale--that none of it's real.  That you wasted all that prime party time and bedding all those hot chicks for something that was just a fairy tale?"

I remember the look that came across the pastor's face as he looked at me and grinned, and said, "I'd rather life the life you just described, forsaking all those earthly pleasures, being a good person, caring for my fellow man, and got to the next life and find out that the bible was no more than a Dr. Seuss book.  Really, what have I lost?   To live like there's no tomorrow with no judgment and no accountability only to die and find that Jesus is everything he said he was and more and by dying in my sins, I just confined myself to an eternity doing laps in the lake of fire?" 

John 8:24--"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

 

Back to government.

 

We have a president, or a so-called president, who is more of a mobster or bookie than a president.  He's trying to get Congress to compromise itself into irrelevancy, and they're doing a darned good job of it.  The one thing I am glad for about the president is he's stripping the mask of propriety off the faces of those who claim to be conservatives, but are really progressives.  These are the guys in the party leadership positions, or the "heir apparents", the guys that want to reach across the aisle to make a deal, you know, Tammy Faye Boehner and Dingy Harry Reid, shaking hands while reaching into the treasury for their districts to stuff tax payer money into their pork packages for their home districts.  How many "Bridges to Nowhere" do we need?  How many airports named in their honor that only land THEIR airplanes at tax payer expense?  Remember John Murtha?  

 

Compromise is the first step on the path to corruption.  Compromise is the drug that loosens the inhibition on moral clarity, that allows you to be like that girl at the party after the football game.  Give her enough beer and before too long she's surrendered her self-respect and dignity for popularity.  What we need are more of the Tea Party-type leaders like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy, John Barrasso, and Rand Paul.  These men are constitutional pitbulls.  These are men of integrity.  They haven't gone the way of Rubio and Christie and Flake and become polluted by the old guard and politics as usual.  These are guys that stand for the Constitution.  We need more of them.  We need even more in the Senate.  The senate is just a bunch of old douchebags sipping their Dewars and Jim Beam, making deals out of compromise that are driving the finishing nails in the coffin of the American experiment.  

 

It was John Adams, a man of LITTLE compromise, who said, "This form of government is meant for a moral and upright populace.  It is wholly inadequate for anything less."  

 

What he meant by that was, you cannot have a country like America, a political system of self-governance like America, if you are infected with the disease of compromise and other like-illnesses that not only infect the body politic but the very inhabitants of the country.

 

"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."  Ben Franklin.  

 

In other words, when you compromise self-reliance and hard work for filthy lucre and a lazy lifestyle, you wind up taking money from the government that isn't yours to take and the country collapses from within.

 

Here's another good example:

 

In 1965, just after doing the right thing and passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, LBJ turns around and kicks in the balls the very people the Civil Rights amendment was meant to help through compromise.  We call it the No American Left Behind Act.  He called it The Great Society.  For those of us that have to support it, we call it The Welfare State.  It started off good.  It started off on a Biblical principle:

 

James 1:27--Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. 

The idea being that we help our fellow man when he or she is down until they can get back up and do for themselves.  Welfare KEEPS him down and dependent on a government check.  Even satan can appear as an angel of light.  This was about the time that leftists and communists like Cloward and Piven and Saul Alinsky were screaming for the overthrow of the American way of life and to have a Communist state instead.  They knew that to do that, one of the first things to do was create a permanent generational underprivileged class dependent on the government for their very existence, from cradle-to-grave.  These people were demons twisting a biblical principle to create demonic outcomes in a country that I believe was given to the world as a shining example of how God meant for man to live:  Free from tyrrany, ruled by self-control and responsibility.  He also said:

2 Thessalonians 3:10--For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

 

This goes hand-in-hand with an old African tribal proverb:  Give a man a fish and he eats for today but is hungry tomorrow.  Teach a man to fish and he will never be hungry again.  

 

Amazing how this comes from Africa, but look at how disproportionately this segment of society or ethnicity has benefitted by cradle-to-grave welfare, but is it really a benefit?  I dare you go to the south side of Chicago, Washington, DC, East St. Louis, or any place there is an inner-city ghetto with government housing and government checks and government assistance and find anything benefitting or positive.  

 

Ronald Reagan said it best:  "The nine worst words you can hear are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"  You hear those words, you turn and run for your garlic necklaces, wooden stakes, and crosses.  The blood suckers are at the door.

 

So, here we have well-meaning people trying to do good by the less fortunate and all they've done is create a gilded cage class of humanity.  They are not free.  Trapped in Section 8 housing, they live by the rule of the jungle and not by the rule of law, they become baby mills to plump up the welfare check, and use the fact that they don't know who the baby daddy is as fodder for stand-up comics and their form of entertainment, gangsta rap and hip-hop.  This is modern slavery.  This is what the democratic party stands for.  The people that are willing to COMPROMISE your soul for votes, for power, for wealth, for control.  Make you dependent on the check so they don't have to become dependent on earning your vote.  You compromise a little and say, "I'll only be in Section 8 housing or on food stamps until things get a little bit better," but after a while, better never comes, and you have compromised yourself into the moral pigpen and you can't find the way out.  When the government comes along and says, "We made a mistake, we can't keep this up," the slaves scream and raise hell that we're going to starve to death and you're responsible for us and you hear things like, "I want my Obama money!"  "I want my Obama phone!"  "I want my Obama home!"  They are so desperate to hold on to what they perceive as theirs that they don't understand that it never really was theirs to begin with.  It was the inducement to go along with the experiment of social engineering.  It was a big compromise.  The soul of man in exchange for the intoxication of power. 

 

I imagine this is probably going to be my most unpopular blog ever.  I imagine there's a lot of you out there reading it that are probably going to call me a racist, you'll lump me in with all the other great hated conservatives of our current age but that's alright.  If you do, then that means YOU have compromised YOUR belief in diversity, the freedom of thought, the marketplace of ideas, for your radical stance.  And that's a compromise that very few people ever wake up from.  For those of you who have read this and are curious on how to live without making compromises and how to stand on the right side of the highway, or the fence, or the aisle, then I would recommend you do what I and millions of others have done.  Don't listen to Rick Warren and 70% of evangelicals that say there are other ways to John 14:6.  Listen to what the Bible says.  Listen to the words of Jesus.  Like I said before the Bible will read YOU, you won't read it.  It will convict your heart if you allow it.  

 

Read Psalm 51:

 

"Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2     Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.     3     For I know my transgressions,And my sin is ever before me.     4     Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge.     5     Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.     6     Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.     7     Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.     8     Make me to hear joy and gladness, let the bones which You have broken rejoice.      9     Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. 10     Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.     11     Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.     12     Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.     13     Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will be converted to You.  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;  Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.  15 O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise.  16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.  17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.  18 By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.  19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar."

 

Consider this your focusing point before coming to Jesus and asking His forgiveness of your sins, and allow Him to do the rest, not you.  Leave it all up to the Holy Spirit to change you, but be open to that change.

 

You cannot compromise with the Living God.  He doesn't play "Let's Make A Deal".  He says, "This IS the deal."  

 

God doesn't compromise because He is holy and righteous and wrote the law, and in all things of spiritual importance, neither should you compromise, but be conformed to His will for your life.  Then use the Holy Spirit to keep you from making bad compromises in other areas of your life.  Remember, a bad compromise is like sitting on a picket fence.  All you get are slivers in your butt and a huge proctologist bill.
