The First Despot, King George III, raped the rich colonies with high taxes, ignored their grievances, subverted their legal system and as a final stroke seized and destroyed the colonists’ caches of guns and other means of self-defense when it became apparent that the citizens could stand no more tyranny from the Crown. Even worse, 236 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, triggering the first American Revolution, the modern-day disciple of the king, demagogue President Barack Hussein Obama, has onerously raised taxes, engaged in class warfare, pitting the poor and middle class against the so-called rich, black against white, Latino against Anglo, gay against straight, and Muslim against Jew and Christian, in order to win re-election.

To insure that Obama’s mission to enslave the nation in his brand of Marxist ideology succeeds in the face of imminent rebellion by the informed masses, his government has armed itself to the teeth, unleashed black helicopters in our major cities to intimate the people and set up committees to determine who in its estimation is a “subversive” and may have to be eliminated with drone and other strikes on American citizens on U.S. soil. [See "Obama prepares to kill 2nd American Revolution"]. And, last but not least, to this end, Obama has also issued executive actions as the first step to removing the people’s Second Amendment right to bear arms to defend themselves against “his” government and its evil designs.

With the exception of a few, like Sen. Rand Paul, no one in the Republican opposition has the will or guts to oppose Obama’s dictatorial quest to remove our freedoms and civil liberties and potentially assassinate those American citizens who resist his and the rest of the government establishment’s claim of total “sovereignty” over us.

We the People, initially using all non-violent means, must ourselves rise up! But if in the end it means following the lead of our First Founding Father, Patrick Henry, we reserve our God-given rights to defend ourselves and to restore liberty to our shores.

As in colonial times leading to the birth of a free country, we will never surrender! Instead, must be prepared to use all legally righteous means to restore the country to greatness!

Give us liberty or give us death! God did not forsake our Founding Fathers, and He will not forsake us!

Perkins: What you’re doing is you’re redirecting money from a program that has negative consequences and redirecting some of it into one that has proven to have positive outcomes.

Hultgren: That’s right, yes. Like you said, this has changed dramatically under President Obama and his administration and Kathleen Sebelius. Basically they see it as a slush fund that they can use however they want to and they are putting it into some very dangerous and experimental education programs for younger and younger children. What this would do is money that is already there would put it into programs that we know work. You look at the track record for abstinence education, incredible success records, kids really want to make good choices and if we give them good information it will just help them make these good choices.

Santorum: Can you play this all out, you do it in the trilogy here, can you play this all out, you end up with the godlessness and that’s really what we’re seeing this administration now doing, something that is historic in America. I have never seen anything that is so insidious as the government regulations and the court cases that this administration is bringing, they are overtly hostile to people of faith.

Dobson: You’re absolutely right about that and I should’ve mentioned that my co-author in this book is Kurt Bruner who was the vice president of Focus on the Family for many years and he’s a young, brilliant writer and he and I are working together on this. As we pointed out one of the implications of these changes demographically is a changing view of morality. Views of infanticide will change and of suicide and of euthanasia and of abortion, all those things will change because as the population struggles to bring children into the world then there will be, we predict or project, that as there are abortion clinics all over the country, and we’ve got one two blocks from my house which I have to drive by every day, there will also be euthanasia clinics where people can do ‘the loving thing.’

…

Dobson: I don’t want to be pessimistic about everything and I do see a lot of pessimism but what I’m seeing now is disturbing. I’ve never seen a time when there was less common sense in government than appears to be there now. This is why, I don’t want to be self-serving to you or serving to you, but I supported you for president because you were the only person that had the guts to talk about the family and to talk about its implications and why it was important and why the government had to take a stand for families and make it possible for them to survive. Man I wish you had an opportunity to continue to do that and that’s why I joined you today.

You missed the fact that some homosexuals are producing pornography that depicts heterosexual men sodomizing women and making it look attractive enough that viewers will immitate what they see, so that heterosexuals (women) can begin coming down with anal cancer, anal incontinence, and other health issues that affect mostly homosexual men, in order for the medical community to develop and interest in finding a cure for these diseases

Quote# 93168

I could not believe what I saw tonight. It broke my heart. Most of you know that we live in a very rural area, and are blessed that it's mainly Christian. The towns surrounding us are not though, and one town in particular has grown quite big and is full of "liberal", "tolerant" people, if you get my drift. Unfortunately, that's the town both of my girls live in. Tonight we went to hear one of our granddaughters sing in the school's chorus program. The first part of it was great. They did a song I'd never heard before called Ezekiel's Wheel which was really neat. That right there should have tipped me off as they never sing Christian songs, even at Christmas! I looked at the program and was so appalled I didn't know what to say! The last song they sang,was a muslim worship song to the demon allah and they were singing it in Arabic! I just couldn't believe it....This just couldn't be happening...not here, not with my granddaughter singing! Bruce and I both wanted to get up and walk out. Actually, we wanted to rant and rave first, and then walk out. It wasn't easy, but we sat through the thing till it was over and then left. Bruce noticed that there were a number of people besides us that were not clapping and not happy about it either, so that's good at least. I felt dirty, like I needed a bath. Mostly though I felt horrified that a teacher would be teaching the kids to sing this song to the kids! The English translation was in the program and the teacher was just so very proud of herself. Well, if looks could have killed, she'd have been dead and I KNOW she saw me since we were in the second row and she kept looking right at me.

I prayed through the entire thing. But it's even worse then that. The teacher had the kids write about how music "made connections" for them, and different kids read what the wrote. That was fine. Till one girl read hers and I just wanted to cry. She has apparently had a pretty hard childhood and she told us that "music was her Savior". Those were her words at the end of her little speech and the S was capitalized when she said it. I prayed for her until the muslim song started, asking the Lord to stay by her and teach her what a Savior really was and to save her.

The whole night made me aware of something else I'd been feeling but hadn't put my finger on....there was like a darkness present in that school. Enough of it to just give you the creeps. It reminded me of what I'd been reading just before I had to get ready to go.

2 Timothy 3:1 —But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. *

The word translated "terrible" or in some versions, "perilous" is actually the same word used to describe the two violent men who were possessed by demons in Gadara in Matt. 8:28. That seems to suggest that the times we're living in aren't just "bad times" but are bad because they're being energized by demons. In other words, all the crime, the hate, the false teaching and all the other things we've been seeing, aren't just your regular run of the mill sin. Instead, demons are influencing people and events, giving sin more power then usual. So perhaps someone who hates someone else but under normal circumstances would have never even dreamed of killing them, because of the demonic influence and drive, they do wind up killing the person. I felt that was even behind the school presenting that worship song tonight too. I know Satan was loving it, that's for sure. All I could do though was pray. I did ask the Lord to forgive the children that didn't know what they'd done and to convict those that did so they wouldn't do it again.

When I looked around at the people though, many seemed so smug and proud of themselves for being so "tolerant" and "civilized". I realized that they didn't have any idea what was really happening. I felt like I was literally watching these people walk toward a cliff with their noses so far in the air that they didn't see the cliff right in front of them and they were about to fall off. I wanted to jump up and explain what was happening to them, but I knew they'd just laugh and think I was crazy, including some who call themselves "Christians". They had no idea that they'd just fed their children poison that could kill them if they didn't get the antidote. It just made the tribulation so very real to me and made me realize again just how close it is - only in a more personal way if you know what I mean. It also made me realize that Satan will have no trouble at all getting people to believe His lies then, because they already do. Satan wants to destroy them and their own parents and teachers are feeding them to him!

A Minnesota resident speaking before the House Civil Law Committee offered a shockingly inaccurate testimony in an attempt to thwart the approval of same-sex marriage in the state.

Mike Frey, a "concerned" father and husband, spoke in front of the committee on Tuesday and cited Minnesota's sodomy law, struck down in 2001, which defined sodomy as both anal and oral sex. He attempted to argue that gay sex poses a danger to citizens of the state because it results in the spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

He claimed that heterosexual sex could be safer because the vagina has a "barrier of cellular tissue that doesn't allow the sperm ... to penetrate the blood flow," but anal sex doesn't have such protections.

"When ejaculation occurs inside of a colon, it's highly absorbent material, the cells do not have a barrier for the sperm and those enzymes to enter into the blood flow," Frey said. "When the enzymes enter into the blood flow, and a continued, prolonged environment of that happens, these enzymes in the blood flow, it causes what we know as AIDS."

Frey's discussion of AIDS during a same-sex marriage hearing is striking because AIDS affects people of all genders, races and sexual orientations. The information shared by Frey is not only homophobic, it is also misleading.

If you could go back to 1973, would you participate in a march to save society from the scourge of abortion? Would you go to Washington to show the Supreme Court that you are one of a multitude of people who are demanding that they not use our constitution to create a great moral and civic wrong? If we lose the Perry case, or the companion Windsor v United States case challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the damage to the country will be severe. Soon, people of faith who believe in marriage as God designed it will be targeted for punishment. Then the government will use all its power to indoctrinate children into accepting this new view of marriage as a genderless institution that exists for the pleasure and satisfaction of adults. Over time, marriage will lose its meaning, and society will lose the one institution we have that is designed to connect parents to children.

It’s not the contraception, everybody thinks it’s about contraception, but what this court case [Eisenstadt v. Baird] said was young people have the right to engage in sex outside of marriage. Society never gave young people that right, functioning societies don’t do that, they stop it, they punish it, they corral people, they shame people, they do whatever. The institution for the expression of sexuality is marriage and all societies always shepherded young people there

[Survey questions about homosexuality sent out to Boy Scouts and their parents.]

Bob is 15 years old, and the only openly gay Scout in a Boy Scout troop. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for the troop leader to allow Bob to tent with a heterosexual boy on an overnight camping trip?

Tom started in the program as a Tiger Cub, and finished every requirement for the Eagle Scout Award at 16 years of age. At his board of review Tom reveals that he is gay. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for the review board to deny his Eagle Scout award based on that admission?

Johnny, a first grade boy, has joined Tiger Cubs with his friends. Johnny’s friends and their parents unanimously nominate Johnny’s mom, who is known by them to be lesbian, to be the den leader. Johnny’s pack is chartered to a church where the doctrine of that faith does not teach that homosexuality is wrong. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for his mother to serve as a den leader for his Cub Scout den?

A troop is chartered by an organization that does not believe homosexuality is wrong and allows gays to be ministers. The youth minister traditionally serves as the Scoutmaster for the troop. The congregation hires a youth minister who is gay. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for this youth minister to serve as the Scoutmaster?

David, a Boy Scout, believes that homosexuality is wrong. His troop is chartered to a church where the doctrine of that faith also teaches that homosexuality is wrong. Steve, an openly gay youth, applies to be a member in the troop and is denied membership. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for this troop to deny Steve membership in their troop?

A gay male troop leader, along with another adult leader, is taking a group of boys on a camping trip following the youth protection guidelines of two-deep leadership. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for the gay adult leader to take adolescent boys on an overnight camping trip?

The current Boy Scouts of America requirements, stated above, prohibit open homosexuals from being Scouts or adult Scout leaders. To what extent do you support or oppose this requirement?

Different organizations that charter Boy Scout troops have different positions on the morality of homosexuality. Do you support or oppose allowing charter organizations to follow their own beliefs when selecting Boy Scout members and adult leaders, if that means there will be different standards from one organization to the next?

What is your greatest concern if the policy remains in place and openly gay youth and adults are prohibited from joining Scouting?

What is your greatest concern if the policy is changed to allow charter organizations to make their own decisions to admit openly gay Scouts and leaders?

Do you believe the current policy prohibiting open homosexuals from being Scouts or adult Scout leaders is a core value of Scouting found in the Scout Oath and Law?

If the Boy Scouts of America makes a decision on this policy that disagrees with your own view, will you continue to participate in the Boy Scouts, or will you leave the organization?

The Republicans saying, "Obama is really reaching out", or "I really think we made some headway in solving this problem", etc.

Former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Dominic Lawson, in a review in the Sunday Times of Niall Ferguson's new book, ‘Civilisation: The West and the Rest’, carries a quote from a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in which he tries to account for the success of the West, to date.

He said: “One of the things we were asked to look into was what accounted for the success, in fact, the pre-eminence of the West all over the world.

“We studied everything we could from the historical, political, economic, and cultural perspective. At first, we thought it was because you had more powerful guns than we had.

“Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system.

“But in the past twenty years, we have realised that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity. That is why the West is so powerful.

“The Christian moral foundation of social and cultural life was what made possible the emergence of capitalism and then the successful transition to democratic politics. We don’t have any doubt about this.”

(a review of a book that claimed Christianity invented Freedom and Science that is so filled with errors its laughable)

The first paragraph alone is worth the price of this book. The paragraph clearly states the question that every educated person must frequently ask himself, but avoids discussing in public, i.e., why did other societies not advance as did the West? I have never seen an adequate treatment of this question.

Recently "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond claimed that geographic determinism is the dominant factor controlling cultural development. While one of the most interesting and entertaining books I have read in years, GG&S fails to convince, most notably in the case of China, the progress of which Diamond says was severly attenuated due to "Beaureaucratic" reasons. This is an insuffiecient answer. As Stark would say, the question needs to be asked, why did the beaureaucracy do this?

(As I have always wondered, why did the Chinese invent gunpowder, but not develop guns or cannon?, paper but not the printing press, books and a system of libraries?)

If readers can set aside our culturally sanctioned prejudices against Christianity and especially Catholicism, and approach the book with an open mind, they will be immediately captivated as I was from the first few sentences. Truly one of the most illuminating and rewarding books I have ever read.

I noticed the rather glaringly obvious lack of data relating to any dating procedures for the coal stratas of that large graphic we got presented here with the other day.
I have since here speculated that the explanation for the seemingly re-occuring peat bogs within the same flood scenario can be accounted for by a progressive displacing of both swamp contents as well as surrounding rock and soil forms. Whether this happened during the "rain" period or was a result of subsequent receeding waters would depend upon other research that I am in no position to either do or for that matter speculate on.
What would be an interesting indicator of a flood scenario which would be hard to explain by any other geological event would be if the coal seams at the lower levels of the strata column actually were found to be "younger" than the ones higher up. With an old earth layering model this would of course be impossible but logically explainable by the Flood.
Why you ask ?
Well if the flood waters displaced a bog the higher levels of the original bog would contain the younger material and would be the first to be buried and and be located at a lower level in the post Flood strata than would the older, deeper levels of the bog that would end up on top in the displaced strata.
If honesty at all levels prevailed the relative dating of the levels (even if it was considered innacurate) should give the definitive answer to the question of the Flood
To me it is a pity there appears not to be that degree of honesty

Geologists admit that coal is formed by flood conditions covering rain forest type plants then pressure and heat applied over time (not necessarilly long periods either as coal can be formed under lab conditions) So as we have massive coal deposits on this planet we can obviously account for massive flood conditions. It is interesting that confusion is added to the equation when it is assumd that as coal is at different depths in the various sediment layers following the Flood that each occurred at diffent time periods separated by millions of years -a conclusion based on a delusion as oviously bog type conditions could easily exist at different elevations before the Flood even if we didn't ajust for the earths tilt as a result of it.

It actually seems odd to me that the most prolithic defense against the evidence of a young earth by the use of the reveered C14 dating method is to reject the findings of the method, ridicule those who believe there is substance in the findings then maintain that there is no scientific way to measure the time of the formation of coal or oil.
This truly smells of a total sham to me

How corrupted do children have to get before adults will cry out and say: no more. I hear people saying, ‘well we don’t want to get into politics.’ Abolishing slavery, wasn’t that politics? Didn’t Christians like William Wilberforce rise up and fight in the political realm two centuries ago to do what was right? They were called extremists then too. But actually no, this is not only about politics. Homosexuality is ripping apart people’s lives and families. I can’t tell you how many sad tales I’ve heard from people who’ve seen the destructive effects of homosexual behavior in the life of a son, a daughter, a brother or a sister. The first battleground of ideas is one’s own mind. We need to equip our kids to stand firm in their convictions and know how to defend them.

I had the same experience as you where you say I was "thinking to shock" and she did not get it. I remember the day same *** marriage was passed in Iowa, I was subbing in a small town. I longed to find someone who was upset...but no one was to be found. I literally spent my breaks walking up and down the halls to find one who would "see" the truth, would stand for truth with me and lament this day, but no one was found. Many noted that they wouldn't do it, but if someone else wanted to, that was their choice. No one was strongly supportive, just resigned, thinking they were being kind, I think. I went to the principal who I thought would get it cause he seemed decent and so were his kids, but he just said, "its their choice, who am I to tell them what to do?"

I tried to argue that we teach them about gravity and they know enough not to walk off roofs of buildings. I thought we were training "good" American citizens who could make wise decisions. At least we could walk them thru the consequences of this deceived lifestyle He would not give me that purpose in teaching. After school I went to the superintendant, someone who arranges assemblies for veteran's Day, a "good" American sort, but he too noted that he had a teacher that he just couldn't judge that way. He just had to let her have her choice.

I tried to ask him whether it would be ok if his kids engaged in that lifestyle. Again, this resigned...not my choice. Does this remind me of a Psalm, what to do when the foundations are crumbling? (Not sure where this thought is found, but I think we keep waging the war and keep inquiring)

The Soldier

A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day the Captain wanted to humiliate him before the troops.

He called the young man and said: – Soldier, come here, take the key and go and park the Jeep in front.

The young soldier replied: – Sir, I cannot drive!

The Captain said: – But then ask your assistant, God! Show us that He exist.

The soldier takes the key and walks to the vehicle while he prays … He parks the Jeep PERFECTLY and exactly where the Captain instructed.

When he got back from the Jeep, he saw the other soldiers crying. They said: – We want to serve your God!

The astoned young soldier asked what was going on? The Captain told him to walk out with him, he opened the hood of the Jeep and showed the soldier that he removed the engine.

Without blinking an eye, the soldier said: You see, Sir, that’s My God!

We serve a supernatural God. God of the Impossible! He, Who gives life where it doesn’t exist, NOTHING is too big, or too difficult for Him!

LaBarbera: Yes, they don’t like it and it’s because it’s absurd. The whole concept is absurd. It’s not marriage. You know one angle that I’m going to be writing about Janet is if you’ve got homosexual so-called marriage legalized you’re going to end up teaching gay sex-ed, there is no way around it.

…

LaBarbera: I believe it was on NPR in Boston after homosexual so-called marriage was legalized there, or forced by the courts, one I believe it was a teacher who said she was emboldened to talk more frankly about homosexuality in the schools in Massachusetts. Think about it, if a teacher is so-called married, say a guy, a male teacher is married to another man, so-called because of course it’s not really marriage, he gets to talk about that marriage in the classroom just as a normal heterosexual married person could talk about — you know a man could talk about his wife.

(The female supreme court justices are so mean to Antonin Scalia, apparently)

Rios: I read an article that Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, at least this article was intimating that they are behaving in a – these are my words – sort of rudely on the bench, to Scalia and to others, interrupting, speaking inappropriately. Have you observed that? Do you know what I’m talking about and is that true?

Levey: Um, yeah. I mean, you know, Scalia can give it out as well as take it, but yeah, Sotomayor has gone over the line a number of times. Most recently in the Voting Rights Act case, which was just last week, where, you know, Scalia had the nerve to speak the truth and refer to the Voting Rights Act as “racial preferences,” which of course is what it’s become by guaranteeing that there be minority districts formed, minority congressional districts. And, you know, Sotomayor sort of lost it when Obama [sic] said that, interrupted and you know, basically made fun of Scalia’s comment. So yeah, I think they have the right to be aggressive up there, but Sotomayor has occasionally, at least, stepped over the line.

Rios: And on the Voting Rights Act and Scalia’s comments, you know, there were demonstrators at the Court last week, hundreds of them, demonstrating against Antonin Scalia. I don’t remember that happening. I don’t remember a Supreme Court justice – doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened – but I don’t remember it being a subject of public demonstrations.

Levey: No. Typically they will, you know, they’ll, protestors at the Supreme Court will focus on issues, not justices. But you know, that changed of late. There’s been in the last two years a lot of, you know, progressive groups have gone personally after Scalia and especially Thomas and his wife. But you know, we see that in so much of politics, that groups on the left like to, shall we say, personalize things.
