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.  

 

 

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.
