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.  

 

 

Truth

The last couple of weeks I have been asking myself, "What is truth?"  And I don't mean the inane little nit picky truth, like "Does this dress make me look fat?" or "Do these wrinkles make me look old?"  I mean, I could tell the truth and say, "No, that dress doesn't make you LOOK fat, you ARE fat!" and then spend the rest of the next couple of weeks in traction trying to think up a good lie to cover the truth of the matter of what I said.  Heck, even most police departments in all 50 states understand that if you're a man and your wife asks you a question like that, and you DON'T lie and say no and get knocked out, the only thing you have coming from them is a chuckle and the word "dumbass" muttered as they walk past shaking their heads.  

So, that's not the truth I'm looking for.  I'm talking about the truth you see every day with your own two eyes and hear with your own two ears.  Truth that the drive by MSM refuses to tell you.  The truth that our leaders in Washington, DC craft lies to bury most cleverly.  So, I'm going to resort back to Mr. Webster's Online Dictionary) and see what he says truth is:

Examples of TRUTH 

At some point you have to face the simple truth that we failed. 
Their explanation was simpler but came closer to the truth. 
The article explains the truth about global warming. 
A reporter soon discovered the truth.Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Her story contains a grain of truth but also lots of exaggeration.

I guess even Merriam Webster has been bitten in the butt by progressives by number 3 above.  I guess there's no truth in that little answer, so let's see what the Bible has to say about truth:

The Bible is the Word of Truth

Psalm 119:160 The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

Daniel 10:21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Ephesians 1:13-14 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

God Leads in Truth

Job 34:12 Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice.

Psalm 25:5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.

Psalm 43:3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!

Psalm 86:11 Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

Jesus Teaches Truth; Jesus Is Truth

"Let us rejoice in truth, whenever we see its lamp burning."

Matthew 22:16  And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances.  

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 

John 8:31-32  … So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 17:8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. (Jesus speaking)

Walking in and Speaking Truth

Psalm 15:1-2 O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;

Zechariah 8:16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;

Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Christian Quotes About Truth

“Today not only in philosophy but in politics, government, and individual morality, our generation sees solutions in terms of synthesis and not absolutes. When this happens, truth, as people have always thought of truth, has died.”  ~ Francis Schaeffer

“I believe that in the end the truth will conquer.” ~ John Wycliffe

“Let us rejoice in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.” ~ Albert Schweitzer

“Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.” ~ J. C. Ryle

“As a matter of honor, one man owes it to another to manifest the truth.” ~ Thomas Aquinas

This is a little bit better, but it requires that you have a belief in God and the Holy Trinity and are washed clean by the blood of Christ to be able to accept these truths as ultimate.  I wonder why God made it so nebulous, why there isn't a "one word-one phrase-cast-iron-definition-of-the-truth".   

Then it dawned on me:  This is what we get. 

We have spent the last 100 years telling God to bugger off.  We treat Him like He's a crazy old uncle with dementia that embarrasses us at family gatherings.  We tell Him things like, "The Old Testament is archaic and not relevant to today, that for someone to say the same throughout eternity is small-minded because they don't grow."  We drive him out of our public square by court and protests and legal actions, we out-and-out lie about the Constitution and say there is supposed to be a wall between church and state (by the way, if you read closely, and you have a mind sharper than Forrest Gump, you will see that it says "Congress shall establish NO religion", i.e. the government shall not form its own church, and that's because they were escaping England and the Anglican Church).  Every one of those founding fathers were Christians as well as the formers of the unique experiment of self-governance never before tried in the history of the world to that point.

So after all of this middle-fingering that we have given God, and all the idolatry that has taken His place, even after He sent His Son to die on the cross to save us all from our sins, we still choose to wallow in the destructiveness of our sinful nature and our lies that we carefully craft to manipulate the truth and make ourselves feel better, smarter, wiser, safer.  To look better in the eyes of our fellow man, or appeal to the masses so that power can be usurped by a few to enable demonic principles and damnable heresies to take hold and further subjugate all humanity to sin.

This is just my belief.  I base it on MY truth, the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testament.  It started with the fall of satan and 1/3 of the heavenly hosts.  Satan has been running loose in this world in what is called the "fourth dimension" or the "spiritual dimension" raising all kids of hell and creating all kinds of havoc.  Why is that?  Because he's arrogant, narcissistic, and up until that time, the greatest of all created beings that God the Father had created.  Then he tried to take God's place and he took a cosmic beat-down from God Himself.  Then God went on and created mankind, a creation far better than satan and all the heavenly angels because man was a creation meant to walk side-by-side with God to worship and to share eternity.  God's desire with man was to have a relationship that He couldn't have with the angels.  Satan brought original sin into the world and Eve was his first victim.  I blame Eve--but not really.  I think of Eve as Edith Bunker.  Not very worldly, not very bright, but well-intentioned.  Eve was all of those things, I think, including smoking red hot (sorry, Edith).  THAT's how I can manage to cut Adam a little slack for his stupidity in taking that first bite of fruit.  

This reminds me of an old joke.  Stop me if you've heard it.....
One day Adam and God were walking through the Garden of Eden and God noticed Adam was worried, almost troubled.  God said to him, "Adam, what troubles you my son?  Why the long face?"  Adam answered, "In all creation, there's two of everything, but only one of me."  God said, "You know, I've been thinking about that.  Doesn't seem right that you're all alone.  So I'll make you a deal, I'll give you your heart's desire of a partner, gorgeous long hair, shapely, committed and devoted only to your happiness and pleasure and she will never argue, never have a headache, and she will hang on your every word and desire."  Adam looked at God with a curious expression, then looked down, and after a while he looked back up at God and said those seven words that doomed us all:  "What have you got for a rib?" 

And the rest is all history.  

But I digress.  We are fed information and words all day long that have NOTHING to do with the TRUTH.  Truth is the subject of this essay, and I try to find truth in our daily lives, what we watch and hear and read, and you cannot find TRUTH.  What is the opposite of TRUTH?  LIES.
Take, for instance, the media.  It's incredible the lies they choose to perpetrate.  They show pictures of Trayvon Martin at 12 instead of the menacing gang banger photos from when he died, 6'2" and 170 lbs.  They try to make George Zimmerman out to be the bad guy because he tried to defend himself.  All 5'8" and about 150 lbs.  A man whose own self-defense instructor called him "soft".  But that doesn't matter.  We didn't buy the lies.  When that didn't work they tried to make him a racist, but he's 1/8 black and has a history of mentoring young black at risk children.  But that doesn't matter.  We didn't buy the lies.  They put an ignorant young woman on the stand who could not read cursive or speak discernible English, whose only concern that night was getting "drink and smoke" and the television pundits raved about how credible she was and what a great job she did on the stand.  Again, we didn't buy the lies.  What parallel universe are we living in that people utter lies and we see the truth? 

Obama and health care.  It's going to bankrupt this nation.  There is no fairness to it, it punishes people, and it's NOT about health care.  It's about controlling everything you do, eat, think, where you live, how much you weigh, medicines you take.  It fits into the Fabian Socialist (now known as Progressivism or liberalism) ideal of living with worth and value, getting rid of all the sick, lame, lazies, mentally retarded, racially inferior, and hopelessly inadequate people that they believe are a drain on society and make the world a worse place.  Obamacare is the Cadillac of lies, the creme de la creme of lies, and despite us knowing the truth, they keep rolling it out and ignore our protestations about the lies they are feeding us.  They don't like that we know the truth, so there will come a point where they won't be nice about it, they will do everything they can to force this lie on us.  Problem is, too many of us know the truth.  The TRUTH.

Now, here is where I wrap this up for you in an understandable package.  This is where you tie Fabian Socialism to untruths in government, in media, in pop culture.  Get the book and read it.  Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  How to take power by the ends justifying the means.  One of his "ten commandments" besides attack and denigrate your subject repeatedly everywhere you can until people believe the lie is make the narrative about the lie.  Continue to tell the lie by building your facts around the lie.  It doesn't matter that the facts DON'T match.  The American public has become lazy, self-centered, they go to work, they come home, they collapse in the chair, they worry about looking like the hotties on the commercials talking about losing weight with the prepackaged food, or are you cool enough if you're not drinking the 64 calorie beer that brings all the chicks to your table, or how to live like the most interesting man in the world.  When was the last time you went to a Sandals resort and saw the babes that you see in the commercials?  I don't know anyone married to women like that and probably neither do you.  Even after years of complaining by the feminazis about irresponsible female role models they still lie to us and choose to portray women as "this is how you should look so you can lead an exciting happy life standing next to a hunk of a man."

Organizations like NOW, NARAL, GLAAD, PETA, Green Peace, all these one percenter groups that disrupt and distort truth to fit the progressive agenda are nothing more than useful idiots.  They are used by the Fabian Socialists/Progressives to push the lie.  To help remold the world and society to what THEY want.  They don't care if you're the perfect height and perfect weight.  If you're not you will go before one of the aforementioned panels, and if you don't fit the mold they will take away your ability to earn and your ability to live with a pill.  Take this pill and go sit in a corner and die.  Remember the Occupy rallies of two years ago?  All those people with their self-imposed righteous indignation at the wrongs as they saw it were nothing more than useful tools being used by the government and all its socialists.  I'm pretty sure that if you could get ahold of one of those mindless apparitions that protested and crapped on cop cars, once you FINALLY got through their ignorant fogs and helped them see the truth would slap their hands to their foreheads and exclaim, "Really?  I crapped on a cop car and it didn't mean anything to the government?"  
 
This has been coming to America since the turn of the 20th century and it's not just Democrats, it's Republicans, too.  Teddy Roosevelt being one of the most famous.  An icon of American Freedom for the Rough Riders and his iconic statements like, "Talk softly and carry a big stick," right up to Mr. John "Tammy Faye" Boehner, Lindsay Graham, John McCain--both sides of the aisle are guilty.  Sadly, not even the Tea Party is immune to this as Marco Rubio has been sucked into their vortex.

In closing, I guess I'm stuck with, and I will cling to, and accept the only form of truth I know in my personal life, and that is the Holy Bible.  The unerring Word of God.  

Even the Word BIBLE is an acronym.  It means Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.  

God's owners manual for the human soul and daily living, and the only way to be able to see the forest through the trees or the righteous from the ass clowns is to immerse yourself fully in the scriptures.  It's a mirror to your face that will read YOU and not be you read IT.  It will shine truth in your face and convict you of every flaw, shortcoming, and lie you are living in your own life.  Lies are a disease.  Lies are a sin.  We all know that sin is death.  A good healthy dose of the Bible every day, from God's owners manual, is better than Ben Franklin's apple-a-day theory.  Don't believe the people who try to pound the alternative sources to truth.  Pick up your bible, any bible, and have truth give you a big wet kiss of reality.  

Start it with this:  John 1:1.  In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.  

God is the word and God is truth.  The Word being the important fact, as you will find throughout the Bible.  The living Word is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  He and He alone will sit in judgment of those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.  He and He alone holds the keys to and has conquered death, hell, and the grave.  And on the subject of hell, God did not create hell for you and I.  He created it for Satan and for the angels that fell with him and turned their back on heavenly perfection.  He does not condemn us to hell.  He never would, He never will.  Sadly, WE CONDEMN OURSELVES TO HELL through unrepentant sin, denying God (you listening, athiests?), and refusing to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, come to earth in human form to save the world from its sin, past, present, and future through His blood atonement on Calvary's cross.  He paid the price for all of us.  Even if you were the only person on the planet, He still would have gone to the cross for YOU.  But for everyone who dies in their sin, your destination is hell.  I don't care if you don't believe in heaven and hell because they both exist and you're going to one or the other.  The choice is YOURS.  Always has been, always will be.  

And that is called free agency.  The greatest truth that the Lord has given us, the right to choose the truth, to accept Him, to live by His precepts, and his examples while on earth, THIS is the true meaning of TRUTH.  Anything else is a lie.  Anything else is vanity.  It's as simple as that, and it's as complicated as that, because the twin to truth, is faith, and without faith, you can never truly understand or walk in the truth.

Now, go get saved, because now you know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Precious speaks and the beat downs go on.............

Seems things have changed a little bit.  All over the country we have blacks demonstrating "Justice for Trayvon".  In LA last night you had idiots using peaceful protests as a reason to start anarchist attacks, same with Baltimore, Oakland, even Portland, bless their hearts.  I wonder if these "truth and justice" seekers had an opportunity to watch Limey left wing darling of CNN, Piers Morgan, last night.  Seems Piers had the oh, so eloquent Precious (Rachel Jeanteal) on.  Turns out, darling little Trayvon, besides being a gangsta wannabe, pot-smoking, gun-toting racist, was also a homophobe.  In an interview given, Precious admitted in her conversation with Trayvon over the cell phone prior to the attack, they both believed George was a homosexual trying to get to Trayvon or his little brother who was staying at his father's girlfriend's house, and that Trayvon needed to lead Zimmerman off the trail to the house.  Then, at some point in time, after Precious calling him a "crazy ass cracker" on the cell phone, and with Precious advising Trayvon to not let him get to the house, Trayvon attacked Zimmerman.  Now here's where this really pisses me off:  Had roles been reversed, had Zimmerman, a hispanic male, turned around and attacked Trayvon Martin, you'd have had EVERYONE on the left from GLAAD to the NAACP to PETA setting fire to everything in sight, but I bet you won't hear anything from GLAAD about Trayvon Martin's homophobic tendencies.  Bet you won't hear anything from the NAACP or Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton about Trayvon committing hate crimes.  Seems the ghetto always gets the pass when it comes to attacking homosexuals or whites.  There have been a rash of black on white attacks this week, including one elderly couple in Oklahoma married 60+ years with the woman dying from her injuries and her husband gravely injured, yet the drive by media is silent and doing all it can to bury these stories, which just confirms my assertion that when liberals and minorities commit crimes against other liberals minorities, i.e., a black man attacks an "alleged" homosexual (which Zimmerman is not but Precious planted the seed) the media is silent and shoves the story to the farthest pages next to the obits.  But if a conservative commits a crime or is even attacked by a minority or progressive liberals, it's ALWAYS the conservative victim's fault. 

What about the elderly couple in Oklahoma?  Were they a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or were they targeted by a thuggish scum who happened to be black and wanted to vent his "righteous anger" by attacking them and knew he'd get a pass in the media because of his color?  There is NO way this country will ever, EVER, have a meaningful discussion on race relations until the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel, are Elijah Cummings all are silenced and relegated to the ash heap of skewed history.  They, by their very, words, are just as racist as the Clan or any White Supremacist group and are as responsible for inciting all of this as any of the aforementioned Clan or White Supremacist groups were for stirring whites against blacks.  How were they responsible you'd ask?  By promoting a policy of victimization, a policy that tells blacks that white America will never give them a chance, and they and they alone are the caretakers of the Emancipation Proclamation.  In their opinion, they and they alone are the ONLY voice of reason and logic that the black community should listen to.  Forget the fact that while a large portion of black males cannot get work, let alone find work, while the aforementioned race baiters live high on the hog with $1,000 suits, fancy cars, multiple homes, and security details to protect them from imagined threats, all the while signing up black person after black person on the welfare and government assistance rolls and telling them that that's the best they can do and you need only depend on on the government for your very existence.  Their welfare state is the modern day equivalent of slavery.  The are chained to a check.  They are not released to dream, to create, to be the George Washington Carter or Frederick Douglas of their generation.  This has GOT to stop.  This will destroy the nation, and for what?  For a few black phonies to get rich off the blood, sweat, and tears of their brothers and sisters enslaved in public housing, ghettos, the inner city reservations, just like the Native Americans have found:  Kill the culture and the members of their race.  This has GOT to stop, for the sake of the next Ben Carson, JC Watts, Herman Cain, Allan West.  These are the leaders the black community needs to look up to, not gangsta rappin' thugs chanting about bitches and ho's and downing 40's.  Bling ain't bulletproof but I bet the left doesn't really care to investigate Piers' interview deeper.  After all, Precious didn't even want to testify at trial.  Now we know why.  I am a conservative and I believe in the equality of the black man, NOT the victimization and enslavement by money and a power-hungry few who step over the broken bodies of their own race to achieve it.

Dr. King would be so proud. 

A Good Day To Be An American - Justice for George

It should be noted that tonight, depending on whether you believe in the rule of law and truth, tonight is a victory for America and for George Zimmerman.  Tonight is also a victory over racist demagoguery.  The jury six FEMALES, and not all white, found Zimmerman not guilty of what I might dare say is over-inflated charges, deliberate media leaks so that he could be tried in the media by the prosecution because of SUCH a weak, WEAK case.  Yes, a 17 year old is dead.  A 17 year old BLACK kid.  He's dead because he conducted himself like the hoodlum he was.  You can cherry pick all you want but the critical facts come down to one thing:  The four minute gap between the last time "Precious" talked to Treyvon and the gun shot.  It was during those four minutes, according to eye-witness account that Treyvon was trying to beat the life out of George Zimmerman.  The only mistake Treyvon made was being seen and being heard doing such.  Zimmerman did what he had to do, what I would have done.  I don't give a crap about the color of your skin.  If I'm being attacked and I think I'm going to be injured with great bodily harm, I'm going to kill you to stop you, and that's the bottom line. 

As for the parents of Martin, I will give them credit for being sedate in their shows of grief.  I will give them credit for not standing up and being the racial charlatans that Sharpton and Jackson and their personal attorney, Mr. Crump, are.  Maybe if mom and dad would have been more active in little Treyvon's life, more interested in who he was running with, more interested in who he was getting arrested with, more interested in taking away the computer he photographed himself in various gang poses, more interested in what was being fed into his brain in his iPod or mp3 player, and instructed as to how to be good citizen of the United States, he would have known that using racist slang and attacking someone because he violated his jungle sensibilities would not have been the way to go.  He acted in an extremely predatory and racist manner.  I'm not going to say he got what he deserved, but George Zimmerman today received justice.  The only justice for the criminal intent of beating someone to death because you're being questioned about "What are you doing in my neighborhood?" is prison. 

As for the Racist-in-Chief in the White House, once again you have managed to get your foot in your mouth with your head planted firmly up your ass.  Remember Cambridge, Massachusetts?  You, sir, need to learn when to keep your mouth shut and what to focus on instead of your constant side-show antics.  You know, I think we ought to call you Side Show Bob instead of the President of the United States because you are a clown at everything you do.  Ineptitude and wrong-headed thinking permeate you to the core and for you to stand in front of a national audience and say, "If I had a son he would be Treyvon Martin not only makes you a racist for choosing sides in a losing battle, but what does that say about your respect for women and your own daughters, as so much of the gang-banger culture refers to women as sex toys, bitches, and ho's. 

Now for the TRUE race mongers.  Jesse Jackson.  You, sir, are a disgrace.  Dr. King would have cut ties with you long ago.  You are nothing more than a reverse racist thug showing up wherever you think you may get a sound bite.  You'd even show up at the opening of an envelope if you thought it would get you some air time.  And if it was a white envelope that caused someone of color a paper cut, you and your rainbow coalition would probably show up on the front door of the manufacturer demanding money and one hundred jobs for some of your constituents that won't even get out of bed to find a real job.  You, sir, are a disgusting individual and unfortunately, your son has chosen the same path.  The apple has not fallen far from the tree.  You don't give a crap about Treyvon Martin or his family.  You don't care about blacks or civil rights.  By your very public behavior, you show yourself to be a money grubbing media hog.

Al Sharpton.  I thought you learned your lesson after Tawana Brawley?  You follow a close second to Jesse Jackson in all categories but one:  Only James Brown can pull the hairdo off that you think you can wear.  You are a lame and laughable individual.

For the media, especially on the left:  You people played this into a battle between the races.  You started out by calling George Zimmerman white when he comes from multiple minority genetics.  The civil war and slavery ended 150 years ago.  It was the left and Democratic party of which 99% of you belong that started Jim Crow laws and wanted slavery and all forms of segregation to stay in place in American society.  And then YOU feign disgust and "Oh, my God, America is a racist country!" any chance you get, any time a black man becomes a victim of his own stupidity.  Here is a news tip I doubt you will follow because you haven't for the past 15 years:  73% of the murders in Chicago involved black victims.  Of that 73%, 91% was perpetrated by black felons.  That according to the FBI.  And Chicago has the toughest handgun laws in the nation.  But this isn't about handguns.  This is about a large white media choosing to turn their backs on black-on-black and black-on-society crimes.   Until the end of time, you will go out of your way to decry Timothy McVeigh and for that I agree with you.  Timothy McVeigh not only broke the faith as a fellow soldier to protect and defend our Constitution, of which I totally agree.  He was a disgusting criminal fiend of the worst order.  Yet you will turn your back on terrorist organizations, like the Black Panthers, and the New Black Panthers.  You give them a pass for the crimes THEY commit.  You give them a pass for the disgusting and criminal acts they want to perpetrate against American society.  You are no longer the watchdogs that you were supposed to be.  you are not criminal accomplices and should never again be listened to for truth or honesty.

As for the Department of Justice, Mr. Holder, once again, sir, we as Americans, we are not cowards when it comes to race.  YOU are the coward and your yellow stripe runs a mile wide down your back.  You send your little DOJ storm troopers down to try and stir racial hatred and discontent and you hold the match to riotous behavior.  You cannot hide your true intentions to disarms this nation any way you can.  You have a history of picking and choosing which laws you will enforce and obey.  Luckily, the prosecutors in their news conference said that as far as they were concerned this wasn't about the Second Amendment but you will find a way to twist it into that, won't you, Eric?  By the way, how's Fast and Furious working out for you, or your gun running from Libya to Syria that got four brave Americans murdered?  I am sure on many levels, for you and for your buddy, the Coward in Chief, this cannot be a happy day.  I hope it sticks with you until the day you find yourself standing next to Barry in the unemployment lines in the ash heap of history going down as one of THE most corrupt, soul-less AG's in the history of the United States. 

America, celebrate.  The justice system prevailed.  Six brave souls, women all, took the prosecutions lack of evidence and the defense's overwhelming credibility, applied the law correctly, and came back with a just and righteous verdict.  Unfortunately, there may be no peace of justice for George Zimmerman.  We'll see. 

Why can't we close our border?

Today I want to start off with an update of my last entry. Recently in Seattle, Washington, a gay rights parade was held.  They were dressed in all their finery running around acting like perverts when a bunch of them noticed a small gathering of silently praying Christians carrying signs and clutching their Bibles, not saying a single word to provoke anyone.  Simply exercising their First Amendment God-given right to freedom of assembly and freedom to worship.  Suddenly some of the more satanically possessed parade supporters attacked and pummeled and beat down those praying on the sidelines.  How is it that these people with their perverted practice can try and beg in such plaintive and teary voices for acceptance, "We're just like you!  We just want to love who we love!" yet turn and viciously attack, like dogs, the people who possess and know the Truth?  Personally, I'm sick and tired of this crap.  Gay's don't want equal rights.  Gay's don't want any such thing as the right to marry.  It's all a ruse, an act, designed to hide the true intention, to destroy traditional family and to alter what it means to be married.  On that same day, I saw on Fox News that the German chancellory passed a law that legitimized beastiality, and now beastiality clubs are in the works all over Germany.  Here in America GEICO, has in its ad campaign a female dropping her human boyfriend for a pig, really, a pig, that has GEICO insurance.  England recently saw a man that so loved his dog that he MARRIED his dog in a legal ceremony.  

C'mon people, it's time to wake up.  All the Supreme Court did was open the floodgates to every known form of debauchery known to man.  We have gays marrying that cannot reproduce so they must recruit, we have people having sexual relations with animals under the protection of the government, where does this stop?  We now have cybersex and sex robots being made in America and Japan.  When does NAMBLA appear before the Supreme Court to argue their rights to have sex with little boys in their "gentle and natural raising of young boys into sensitive and thoughtful young men" mindset?  Sin is a reproach to a nation as the scriptures say in 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "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 will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Friends, we are going down the path of the old Roman Empire.  When I said there was nothing new under the sun as far as sin goes, that's what I meant.  It was practiced in the Roman Empire, in Sodom and Gomorrah.  It's been said AIDS was caused by the green monkeys of Africa and African males having sex with the monkeys and then on to humans.  That is if you believe the movie "And The Band Played On".   My point is--if this is how AIDS was spread, what kind of horrific diseases can be loosed on the world through open and widespread beastiality and promiscuity and rampant perverted sexual practices?  

This whole issue makes me very angry but I know it shouldn't.  These things were prophesied long ago, even before the New Testament was written.  The reason by Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuality in the New Testament is because is because it didn't occur openly.  It was DEEP DEEP DEEP in the darkest closets because this was a Semitic society.  Side note:  Arabs and Jews are both Semites.  They both trace their lineages back to Abraham.  Abraham was chosen by God to be the father of His chosen people through Isaac and also the father of another great race through Ishmael, the Arabs.  In the time of Jesus, both Arabs and Jews had zero tolerance for any kind of homosexuality or beastiality.  You were stoned to death and I'm not talking about good pot.  You had baseball-sized stones pelted against your head till dead.  It required The Apostle Paul in the book of Romans to take on the topic of why God says homosexuality is an abomination and that's because he was talking to a gentile audience.  Romans wasn't written for the Jews.  It was written for the gentiles.  Hebrews was written for the Jews.  Sorry this is only meant to be an update, but God seemed to lay on my heart to say more about my previous blog entry, that it was somehow incomplete, and also to show just how fast this tidal wave of an abomination is about to wash over this entire planet, not just America.  For those of you who believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Living God, be of good cheer, he will be with us all.  Let not your hearts be troubled, he will not forsake us nor leave us.  He is in control to the glory of His name.  

Now on the immigration and SB 744.

The senate passed it on June 28, right before the July 4 recess, and on a Friday when no one pays attention to such things.  The zombie-like Gang of 8, who were empowered to solve this problem, have once again failed to craft meaningful immigration reform and have left us with what we already have.  Thanks to Bob Corker, a "conservative" in name only, just to get the democrats to side with him, he tossed in an amendment giving  Janet Napolitano, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, the authority to veto or even put off building the fence as it sees fit.  Way to go, Bob.  That's living up to your Tea Party values.  You and Rubio sold us out.  All that talk about securing the border first before anyone gets a chance at citizenship was just a load, wasn't it.  Just a baby buttload of diaper rash.  Thanks, fellas.  You have managed to become truly corrupted, just like the rest of our elected officials, probably in record time.  

The senate version basically doesn't secure the borders, it's going to give legal work status to millions of illegals.  According to the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, it's going to drive unemployment close to 10% for close to a decade and drive wages down for American workers for about the same time.  This opens us up for more destruction like the Boston Marathon bombing and sooner or later, will make Oklahoma City and 9/11 look like preschool because there are some seriously bad characters coming across the border that originated in the Middle East, ALL THE TIME.  You can find the prayer rugs, the qurans left behind.  Border patrol is doing their best to seize Iranian munitions stamped with the Iranian flag and written in Farsi on a daily basis.  America is lied to by her media organizations that are supposed to be the watchdogs of what the government does.  So, if you want to make a difference now while we still have a chance, contact every member of the house that represents you and tell them when SB 744 makes its way to the House, strike it dead and get together and remember, you people have the RIGHT, you have the ABILITY to threaten these guys with their jobs.  Tell them as I do, "You represent me.  I pay your wages.  Forget about K Street, forget about social justice and income redistribution and do what's right for the United States by the Constitution or wind up on the unemployment lines."  Also, if we would just do this, we can put an end to the stupidity of a congress that does no longer fear the populace.  

Second, if you pray, get on your knees and pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 (above) that we as a nation will turn from our wicked and sinful ways, that we will not only invite God back into our homes but into every aspect of our lives, including political, that we will remember His Commandments and turn from our sins.  If we do this and call upon His name He will heal us.  He will return us to greatness.  Just as he did in ancient Israel.  Read the book of Judges and Chronicles.  You will see what God has done every time Israel fell into idolatry and faced judgment, how they got it together and smashed the idols of their fathers and called upon God to forgive them and he restored them.  He will do no less for us than he did for Israel.  Hollywood won't help us, academia can't save us, and the government just wishes to enslave us.  That leaves us one place to turn and His address is Heaven.  

This nation is awash in idolatry.  Look at all the things in our culture that speak "idol", beginning with American Idol, or sports figures who are idolized,  or reality stars, musicians and performers, movie stars.  Remember the 10 Commandments.  "I am the Lord thy God, thou shall not have any graven images before me".  For those that don't know what a graven image is, it's an idol or a false God, a replacement for God.  And no idolator or anyone who practices idolatry or divinity or divination will inherit the kingdom of God.  You get a one way ticket to hell.  And the thing that pains Him the most?  Hell was not created for you or me.  Hell is very real and was created for Satan and one-third of the angels that fell with him but because we choose to follow sin in all of its forms we deserve hell when we die, if we die in those sins.  

So again, as I will every time I write, I'm going to ask you to take a good hard look at where you stand with God.  Make no mistake, irregardless of what you think, there is a heaven and there is a hell.  Just as there are no words to describe the beauty and majesty and sheer delight of heaven, no words can fully convey the utter despair and horror and torment of an eternity in hell.  Jesus so much wanted to make sure that no one died and went to hell that He spoke about avoiding it far greater than he spoke about the rewards of heaven.  So examine your hearts, and then make your choice.  Forget being called a square or uncool or unhip.  You have a mind of your own, I beg you to PLEASE use it to do what's right for you and no one else, because you have no idea how much peace you will gain in your life from knowing that your eternal destiny is in heaven in the loving arms of a righteous savior and THAT is how I have gotten through all that I have gone through in the last half-dozen years or so.  I know that He loves me, He is in control, and that happened the minute I gave my life over to Him over 20 years ago.  It took a decade and a half for Him to prep me for this last many years of trials and also to bring along the one person in my life, who has stood by me unfailingly, my wife.  If you don't have someone in your life like her, God will do to you like he did to me, he will bring someone to you that will stand by you (reminds me of that Pretenders song they're using on the Progressive commercials now).  It puts a lump in my throat when I think about Jesus singing that song to me.  I know it doesn't pass for a hymn but He always manages to use something that crosses my life to uplift and remind me of His life.  So, God bless you all and until next time, tell those cowards in Washington, DC not to vote for that farce of an immigration bill.

Stand up and be AMERICANS, once again.
