God The Original Intent

“In essence I find that the foundation of modern conservatism is driven by a clinging to God in fear of the world, whereas the foundation of modern liberalism is a clinging to the world in fear of God; albeit, the true foundation should be one’s clinging to God in fear of God.”

― Chriss Jami (Christopher James Gilbert) Poet, essayist, and philosopher

“You have seen the most gracious speech—Most gracious! How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words! It discovers, to be sure, the most benevolent & humane feelings of its author. I have heard that he is his own minister —that he follows the dictates of his own heart. If so, why should we cast the odium of distressing mankind upon his minions & flatterers only. Guilt must lie at his door. Divine vengeance will fall on his head; for all-gracious Heaven cannot be an indifferent spectator of the virtuous struggles of this people.”

— Samuel Adams (1722–1803) Father of the American Revolution, Patriot and Statesman

Masking Totalitarianism – By Walter E. Williams – One of the oldest notions in the history of mankind is that some people are to give orders and others are to obey. The powerful elite believe that they have wisdom superior to the masses and that they’ve been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us.

Their agenda calls for an attack on the free market and what it implies — voluntary exchange. Tyrants do not trust that people acting voluntarily will do what the tyrant thinks they should do. Therefore, free markets are replaced with economic planning and regulation that is nothing less than the forcible superseding of other people’s plans by the powerful elite.

Because Americans still retain a large measure of liberty, tyrants must mask their agenda. –  Link to Website

“The contest, for ages, has been to rescue Liberty from the grasp of executive power. Whoever has engaged in her sacred cause, from the days of the downfall of those great aristocracies which had stood between the king and the people to the time of our own independence, has struggled for the accomplishment of that single object. On the long list of the champions of human freedom, there is not one name dimmed by the reproach of advocating the extension of executive authority; on the contrary, the uniform and steady purpose of all such champions has been to limit and restrain it. …

Through all this history of the contest for liberty, executive power has been regarded as a lion which must be caged. … it has been dreaded, uniformly, always dreaded, as the great source of its danger. And … who is he, from whose bosom all original infusion of American spirit has become so entirely evaporated and exhaled, that he shall put into the mouth of the President of the United States the doctrine that the defence of liberty naturally results to executive power, and is its peculiar duty? Who is he, that, generous and confiding towards power where it is most dangerous, and jealous only of those who can restrain it, — who is he, that, reversing the order of the state, and upheaving the base, would poise the pyramid of the political system upon its apex? Who is he, that, overlooking with contempt the guardianship of the representatives of the people, and with equal contempt the higher guardianship of the people themselves, — who is he that declares to us, through the President’s lips, that the security for freedom rests in executive authority? Who is he that belies the blood and libels the fame of his own ancestors, by declaring that they, with solemnity of form, and force of manner, have invoked the executive power to come to the protection of liberty? Who is he that thus charges them with the insanity, or the recklessness, of putting the lamb beneath the lion’s paw? No, Sir. No, Sir. Our security is in our watchfulness of executive power. It was the constitution of this department which was infinitely the most difficult part in the great work of creating our present government. To give to the executive department such power as should make it useful, and yet not such as should render it dangerous.”

— Daniel Webster (1782-1852) Author, Lawyer and Patriot

Lies and Hypocrisy Are Essential Components of Liberalism – Kurt Schlichter – Recent events once again demonstrate that there is no point arguing with liberals. Reason, facts, truth – these bourgeois concepts mean nothing to the adherents of progressivism. You are never going to change the mind of someone who believes in nothing except the imperative of his own absolute power. ….

Progressivism is not a coherent ideology so much as a purpose – to control every aspect of our lives. It is about consolidating progressive power. Nothing else matters. That includes the truth. …

You can’t negotiate with progressivism. You can’t reason with it. You can’t compromise with it. You have to destroy it, utterly, root and branch….

Arguing with progressives is a waste of time because they believe in nothing except that they should rule over us. Progressives don’t seek justice. They seek power. Treat them accordingly. –  Link to Website

Progressivism or “American” Progressivism

Progressivism or American Progressivism (in the 21st century) is both a religious philosophy and a social political movement, which fundamentally is a revolt against God, His Laws and Commandments, Christianity, and the traditional family. It operates under the label of progressive, democratic, liberal, left, or other names, but its doctrine is a denial of God and rejection of an absolute truth. Operating without fear of God and a biblical moral basis for right and wrong, its values are often without virtue, thus open to jealousy, envy, deceit, hypocrisy, malice, slander, and hate. Hate typically of those who profess their biblical beliefs publically. Without biblical moral standards to control conduct, the political movement is often authoritarian forcing social change in the moral order through legislation, through the courts in making law, and though force of government, rather than by popular vote or opinion.

The progressivism movement in pushing their anti-biblical revolutionary ideas often employs tactics such as lies, fear, and false choices, payoffs, character assassination of opponents, and election fraud. Their success in changing of the moral social structure in large part depends on citizens being uninformed of the truth and consequence of the change, ignorance of the Bible, and backing by a progressive media. In pushing for social change, progressives will sometimes partner with atheists, socialists, communists, Marxist, and Islamist, as they are at odds with or an enemy of Christianity. Education and media are assets employed as a long term way to force social change by changing people’s thinking in areas such as biblical norms and beliefs, moral absolutes, situational ethics, modernism, social justice, environmentalism, social progressivism, capitalism, and socialism and communism. The reeducation or generational propaganda, which often is emotional without a scientific or supportable basis, but over time, neutralizes opposing views especially of citizens who often inaccurately perceive that it is the belief of the majority their fellow citizens. Following a “herd mentality,” many become useful assists in pushing for the social change that they once opposed.

Liberalism or Modern American Liberalism

Liberalism or Modern American Liberalism is a religion substitute expressed as a political movement and social philosophy, advocating for freedom from tradition and authority. It rejects biblical authority and traditional Christian moral teachings. Its emphasis is on establishing a strong central government to control capitalism, control religious expression, to change religious beliefs away from God, and to construct a dependent welfare state. Thus the Constitution is often viewed as outdated document, an obstacle to social change due to its biblical underpinnings and religion of the Founders who created it.

“The founders of the United States of America … founded it on the principles ancient convent between the Hebrews and God. The only reason that we fear that right now we stare down into the abyss of doom. The only reason that deep in our hearts we question whether the United States of American will indeed continue, and will it indeed continue as the nation we know and love. The only reason that deep in our hearts we worry for its future is because deep in our hearts we know that this country had abandoned the faith of Abraham, Isaiah, and Jacob. This county has stepped out from beneath that convent, that guaranteed durability. Not just ancient Israel but all those who followed in those paths.”

― Rabbi Daniel Lapin  (1950-   ) Orthodox rabbi, talk show host and author

“To deliberately omit reference to God and the county’s Christian religious heritage that birthed liberty and freedom in to the world is not unpatriotic, it is a sin against God and a national crime. … God will at some point (in the not too distant future) hold the country and its people accountable for such foolishness, it is not without consequence.”

Spiritual Warfare: The Occult Has Demonic Influence – by Bishop Donald W. Montrose – By the “occult,” we are speaking of some supra-human or supernatural influence that is not from God. We commonly associate the occult with that which has demonic influence. In the United States today the occult has become much more popular than it was twenty years ago. Today, there is popular Satanic music, Satanic street gangs, an increase in Satanic worship, a more widespread use of the horoscope and study of the signs of the zodiac, and Satanic games that can be purchased. In spite of this, many people do not take the occult seriously. They laugh off the notion of the Power of Evil as actually being a part of the “real” world in which we live.

I do believe that demonic influence is very real and that it constitutes a dangerous threat to our spiritual well-being. What is written here is, at best, a brief summary of a reality that I have no desire to spend much time exploring. My purpose is simply to give you enough knowledge to be able to at least suspect the presence of the occult so that you can avoid it completely. –  Link to Website

“It will be conceded that every man’s first duty is to God; it will also be conceded, and with strong emphasis, that a Christian’s first duty is to God. It then follows, as a matter of course, that it is his duty to carry his Christian code of morals to the polls and vote them. Whenever he shall do that, he will not find himself voting for an unclean man, a dishonest man. Whenever a Christian votes, he votes against God or for Him, and he knows this quite well. God is an issue in every election; He is a candidate in the person of every clean nominee on every ticket; His purity and His approval are there, to be voted for or voted against, and no fealty to party can absolve His servant from his higher and more exacting fealty to Him; He takes precedence of party, duty to Him is above every claim of party.

If Christians should vote their duty to God at the polls, they would carry every election, and do it with ease. They would elect every clean candidate in the United States, and defeat every soiled one. Their prodigious power would be quickly realized and recognized, and afterward there would be no unclean candidates upon any ticket, and graft would cease. …

If the Christians of America could be persuaded to vote God and a clean ticket, it would bring about a moral revolution that would be incalculably beneficent. It would save the country.”

Is America Doomed? [Part III] – by Dave Miller, Ph.D. – … According to the Framers and Founders, the American republic cannot last any length of time when Christian morals do not characterize the people; no civil government of a republic can exist and last without the controlling influence of Christian principles; the government and civility in society will dissolve if the citizens become enemies of Christianity; ignorance of one’s duty to God and depravity will lead to slavery and ruin; without religion, foreign violence, domestic convulsion and ruin result; abandoning Christian virtue will result in submission to invaders; there can be no genuine freedom where religion and morality are lost; and we will then be ripe for destruction. …

If this pattern of eventual divine retribution has repeated itself many times over throughout world history, and if God is immutable, i.e., He does not change … We ought to expect God to react to America’s degradation in two ways: (1) unleash upon, or at least refrain from protecting, the country (or specific localities within the country) natural disasters (read the Old Testament book of Joel); or (2) allow hostile enemies to inflict casualties and suffering upon us (read Habakkuk). … Indeed, it is just a matter of time. Since America is committing national suicide by its morally insane behavior, turning its back on God, disaster is the inevitable result.

As the population of America continues its progressive entrenchment against God, the outcome is inevitable: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17, emp. added).

It is unfortunate there are many who fail to observe the numerous examples of God’s hand in the country’s history and their own lives. Most regrettable it is there are those who want to destroy God’s works, obscure them and re-write history. How foolish and dangerous for us all it is to fight the currents of destiny.”

“In another point of view, great injury results from an unstable government. The want of confidence in the public councils damps every useful undertaking, the success and profit of which may depend on a continuance of existing arrangements. What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce, when he knows not but that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed? What farmer or manufacturer will lay himself out for the encouragement given to any particular cultivation or establishment, when he can have no assurance, that his preparatory labors and advances will not render him a victim to an inconstant government? In a word, no great improvement or laudable enterprise can go forward, which requires the auspices of a steady system of national policy.

But the most deplorable effect of all, is that diminution of attachment and reverence, which steals into the hearts of the people, towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected, without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability.”

— James Madison (1751-1836) Father of the Constitution, 4th President of the United States

What is an AMERICAN Patriot? – by Gary Clark – One thing MOST Americans seem to consistently fail to understand is what a American PATRIOT really is. An American patriot is NOT somebody who supports his government. … The true definition of what an American patriot ACTUALLY IS can be determined only by examining what those men who signed the Declaration of Independence (and their followers) ACTUALLY DID. So, let’s learn what a true patriot is by taking a look at what those true patriots actually did. …

“Those who would call themselves American patriots need to stand ready to do the same things today that our forefathers did in 1775, and we’d better be ready to be called conspirators, traitors, seditionists and (today’s buzzword) terrorists by the government loyalists we oppose.”  –  Link to Website

The faithful must stand – Emile Proulx – (The Union Leader, 9-19-2013, Page A7) To the Editor: With the help of those in power, secularism continues to make inroads into our society in the attempt to apostatize our nation. They become more emboldened as courts unsoundly rule in their favor. People of faith are left wondering how this can happen in a nation where religious freedom is supposed to be paramount.

There are two reasons why: (1) complacency on the part of the faithful, and; (2) the ignorance or arrogance of those with influence who don’t believe God exists, convinced that those who follow God’s word are naive.

When in truth it’s naivety on their part to believe that you can legislate morality any more than you can legislate gravity.

Our country was built on the foundation of God’s word; our nation has prospered because our laws have been in conjuction with them. Disengagement from them in an attempt to achieve a perceived perfect society is a fool’s errand, doomed to fail. We of faith can no longer be complacent, but must stand for our beliefs. Remember that those in power come and go, but God’s word is constant.

That’s because He was, is and always will be. Secularism will succumb too, we just have to have faith. –  Link to Website

The First Amendment For Dummies! – By David Whitley – One of the greatest losses to individual freedom is the collective belief that the federal government is the all-powerful supreme level of government that rules over us and the states in which we live with dictatorial powers. This idea could not be further from the truth. Take for example our Bill of Rights and the First Amendment to the Constitution.

It reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. So brief and so plain. How can such simplicity be so corrupted?

The plain truth can be found in James Madison’s Federalist No. 45 regarding the distinction between the federal government’s “few and defined” powers and those numerous and indefinite held by the states and the people: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.”

The plainest way to read the First Amendment would be in six easy to understand sentences.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press.

Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble.

Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

And what we find when we are done reading is that there is one common threat to it all, Congress shall not do these things. It is clear that these personal liberties are reserved to the states themselves. To be decided by the people themselves, not the bureaucrats in Washington DC who love to play around with liberty, handcuffing the states, controlling the levers of power and ruling over the people. –  Link to Website

Our Lady of Covadonga – September 7 – Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira – In 711 the Muslim Arabs invaded the Iberian Peninsula. The Visigothic King Rodrigo died facing them in the Andalusian field of Guadalete in southern Spain. Taking a position of resistance against the rapid conquest and domination of the infidel, Don Pelayo led a group of valorous knights who had withdrawn to the northern mountains of the Asturias to recoup and fight. …

Then, Our Lady intervened: she directed the arrows of the Moors to return against themselves. She sent a storm that made the boulders and trees from the mountain fall on top of the enemy hosts. …  The lesson is that we should have a supernatural perspective to envisage our vocation and our fight. We must do whatever is necessary to win, even when it is impossible. Divine Providence does not ask us to be blind to reality. We must analyze the situation, and even when we see that it is impossible to win this or that battle, we must wage it anyway. We must desire what Divine Providence desires. –  Link to Website

Brainwashed, dumbed downed, Led astray, Education, Common Core, Main Stream Media – The Confused and Misguided Youth – by Dr. Ileana Johnson  –Dr. Thomas Sowell, Economics professor, economist, writer, and sage, encapsulated brilliantly what ails our youth. “The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.”

And the culprits are the American public education, an ever growing lack of religious education, and the indifferent parenting that does not question what children learn or do not learn in school. Young people in any generation tend to be naïve, idealistic, and gullible; it is easy to sell them anything because they confuse feelings with rational thought. They are told so often and so early in life that they are special that they form a distorted view of themselves. …

If young people had known true history and had learned from it, they would have understood that all socialist paradises around the globe were dismal economic failures and tyrannies that suppressed the human spirit, robbed people of their freedoms, and sent many to early graves for their anti-government beliefs. Under socialism/communism people were equal – equally miserable, equally poor, equally hungry, equally cold, equally mistreated, equally deprived, and equally imprisoned or killed for their thoughts.

Now that the economy is in such dire straits and college graduates unemployment is sky high, is it still Bush’s fault? Young people are living with their parents or moving back in with their parents, default on college loans, postpone marriage, having children, buying a home, buying a car, or living a comfortable American middle class life under capitalism.

Young college graduates have voted for their own demise with the ardor and dedication that only a young person can muster. Nobody is holding Presidents and Congress accountable for the “mess they’ve created.” …

Young people are told at nauseam by the alphabet soup channels that Americans who believe in balancing the budget and following our country’s Constitution are “extremists;” following the legal immigration laws of the land is “racist and bigoted;” questioning the government is outright treasonous. …

May I remind the lost generation that life is never fair, nothing is equal, and nothing is free, there is an opportunity cost for everything, somebody else is paying for your free lunch?  Next time you feel the need to march for a liberal cause that you joined for no apparent reason or logic other than that it is “cool” or popular with your age grou, put what you are doing in proper perspective, you might burn a bridge behind you which you may have to cross sometime in the future. –  Link to Website

What is the Purpose of Government? A Biblical Perspective on the Purpose of Government – by Stephenson Chea – … The founders’ prevailing view was summarized by Thomas Jefferson, who said, “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down for mischief by the chains of the constitution.” Today, many look to the government as an agency of mercy and benevolence. But that was not the view, decidedly not the view, of those who began this nation.

The 13th chapter of Paul’s epistle to the Romans, is the classical chapter on the role of government in our lives.

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. – (Romans 13:1-5)

Let’s see if you can guess who said these words: “Government is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” Well who said it? Who was it that uttered such words? Maybe you’re not familiar with the fellow, but his name was George Washington. –  Link to Website

Laurie said Graham “is a prophetic voice, and to me it’s like Isaiah or Jeremiah standing up and telling our nation what we need to do.”

We eat shellfish today without any moral problems, so why should we treat this sex law as morally binding? Haven’t we outgrown all of that Levitical law anyway?

Socio-economic factors may have a lot to do with why home schoolers do so much better. Virtually all have a mother and a father who are living together. Nearly two thirds of fathers and 62 percent of mothers have a bachelor’s degree or higher.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

— Proverbs 14:34 RSV

So it is hardly surprising that Washington and many of the founders had a respect for God’s laws, and commandments, a humble appreciation of His assistance. During the war George Washington issued many orders, but a number of them were directed at curbing the immoral behavior in the army, such as profane cursing, drunkenness, and gambling. Soldiers not engaged in military duty were always expected to attend Divine service. Washington also had to deal with homosexuals in the army and the immoral act of sodomy.  

“His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief [George Washington] approves the sentence; and, with abhorrence and detestation of such horrid and infamous crimes [sodomy], orders Lieut. Enskline to be drummed out of camp tomorrow morning, by all the drums and fifes in the army, never to return. The drums and fifes will attend for that purpose on the grand parade tomorrow morning at guard mounting.”

For Washington it was less about rules, discipline, and order in the military, it was that the action was morally wrong and offensive to God. As the country’s survival hung in the balance and the lives of his men and himself at risk during the war, he could ill afford to have the actions of his troops be offensive to God. He understood that one can not expect the blessings (and protection) of heaven if one is not worthy of it. He later stated in his First Inaugural Address, “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” – (Excerpt from the article titled, “GOD Rejects the National Cathedral’s Stand on Gay Marriage?”) – Link to Article

“You yourself may find it easy to live a virtuous life, without the assistance afforded by religion; you having a clear perception of the advantages of virtue, and the disadvantages of vice, and possessing a strength of resolution sufficient to enable you to resist common temptations. But think how great a portion of mankind consists of weak and ignorant men and women, and of inexperienced, inconsiderate youth of both sexes, who have need of the motives of religion to restrain them from vice, to support their virtue, and retain them in the practice of it till it becomes habitual, which is the great point for its security. And perhaps you are indebted to her originally, that is, to your religious education, for the habits of virtue upon which you now justly value yourself. You might easily display your excellent talents of reasoning upon a less hazardous subject, and thereby obtain a rank with our most distinguished authors. For among us it is not necessary, as among the Hottentots, that a youth, to be raised into the company of men, should prove his manhood by beating his mother. …”If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be if without it.’”

How are humans going to become extinct? – By Sean Coughlan – What are the greatest global threats to humanity?

These are “threats we have no track record of surviving”. Lack of controlLikening it to a dangerous weapon in the hands of a child, he says the advance of technology has overtaken our capacity to control the possible consequences. Experiments in areas such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology and machine intelligence are hurtling forward into the territory of the unintended and unpredictable.

Synthetic biology, where biology meets engineering, promises great medical benefits. But Dr Bostrom is concerned about unforeseen consequences in manipulating the boundaries of human biology.

“Do you get the feeling God is no longer watching over America?”

— Matthew “Matt” Drudge (1966 –    ) Editor of the web site the Drudge Report & Author

Editor’s Note – Yes Matt, once again you are very observant. You have a unique insight into culture, trends, and the media. I expect that is why your web site, “Matt Drudge,” is so popular. Your make great use of photos by the way, they often communicate more about the story than the story itself. It is your God given gift.

In response to your question, “Do you get the feeling God is no longer watching over America?” I would answer no, God is still watching over America. BUT, and it is the big American BUTT.

How would God handle a country that has broken the convent signed by their forefathers?

How would God handle a country that has rejected one of the greatest of all earthly blessings given to mankind, that of liberty. Secured by your Constitution which obligates following the laws of nature and natures God?

How would God handle a country that says it is legal to kill 54,000,000 children in the womb? Is that killing acceptable under God’s law? Is it acceptable under laws of man? Is it acceptable under laws that evil operates?

How would God handle a country that now rejects that citizens are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights?”

How would God handle a country whose government passes laws against religious liberty and liberty of conscience, forcing citizens to sin against God or break laws of government?

How would God handle a country that has made a mockery out of His convent of marriage?

How would God handle a country that has taken God out of the class room, founding documents, out of its country’s history, and the minds of its children, taught them good is evil and evil is good?

How would God handle a country that has indebted the next two generations into economic slavery and servitude?

How would God handle a country that is ungrateful for the many blessings it has received?

How would God handle a nation that (for the most part) has turned against God?

He would cease to be a merciful God if he did not punish nation sins. Therefore what I believe you are seeing slowly but surely is chastisement for our national sins. It is time for judgment; to follow will be atonement for those sins. God will not be mocked.

Like many in our own day, they had considered every possible cause but God. Of course, they were too sophisticated, even to pious, to blame him. …In other words, God himself didn’t hesitate to take the responsibility, saying, “I’m the reason you have experienced this terrible chain of horrific episodes – the storms – the drought – the scorching heat – the crop failures – the winds that blew everything away.

The man whom Pope blessed says he’s seeking liberation from demons – Angel, the Mexican father of two whom Francis laid his hands on in St Peter’s Square on May 19 talks about his 14 year struggle to be liberated from demons –  by Gerard O’connell – … Fr Rivas, a member of the Legionaries of Christ, described what happened that Sunday. He said: “The Pope greeted Angel, and he kissed the pontiff’s ring and in that instant fell into a trance. The Pope then laid his hands on his head and at that moment a terrible sound was heard (from him), like the roar of a lion. All those who were there heard it perfectly well. The Pope for sure heard it, and his bodyguards heard it as did a child who was at our side. But in spite of this horrific roar the Pope did not let himself be moved; he continued with his prayer, as if he had faced similar situations before.”  

Angel listened to what Fr Rivas told El Mundo, and nodded his assent. He said he felt better now, and said the prayer of Pope Francis made him feel much good.  Significantly, El Mundo’s correspondent noted that he came to the interview walking on his own two feet, whereas he was on a wheelchair when he met the Pope.  ….

A day after Angel was blessed by the Pope, Fr Amorth, 88, who has carried out 160,000 exorcisms  told El Mundo,  “ I have no doubt, he is possessed”.  The exorcist considers Angel’s possession to be a very special kind:  it’s a possession with a message. Not only is he possessed, but the devil who lives in him finds himself obliged by God to transmit a message.

Fr Amorth said, “Angel is a good man, he has been chosen by the Lord to give a message to the Mexican clergy and to tell the bishops that they have to do an act of reparation for the law on abortion that was approved in Mexico City in 2007, which was an insult to the Virgin.  Until they do not do this, Angel will not be liberated.” –  Link to Website

GE Trees May Be Even More Damaging to the Environment than GE Foods – By Dr. Mercola – Genetic engineering (GE) of our food supply amounts to a massive science experiment being performed on mankind, without consent or full disclosure.

“ALLAH OR JESUS” – by Rick Mathes – I attended my annual training session that’s required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.

The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn I directed my question to the Imam and asked: “Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that all of the Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?” There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation he replied, “Non-believers!”

Democratic Party lying about racist roots – Conservative rising star: ‘They’re co-opting history of the Republican Party’ – Democrats are lying about their past and overwhelmingly winning minority voters, and a prominent black conservative says they will keep winning until conservatives learn how to win the propaganda war and champion the story of slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass as an outreach to black voters.\

“Divine Providence has played a great part in our history. I have the feeling that God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose. It is not given to us to know fully what that purpose is, but I think we may be sure of one thing, and that is that our country is intended to do all it can, in cooperating with other nations to help created peace and preserve peace in the world. It is given to defend the spiritual values—the moral code—against the vast forces of evil that seek to destroy them.”

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,”

Schools push a curriculum of propaganda – By George F. Will –The real vocation of some people entrusted with delivering primary and secondary education is to validate this proposition: The three R’s — formerly reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic — now are racism, reproduction and recycling.

It evidently considers “instruction” synonymous with “propaganda,” which in the patois of progressivism is called “consciousness-raising.”  – Link to Website

Each of us has a responsibility to tell the truth, of course. But that is a responsibility to God. And leftists have told us as clearly and repeatedly that they don’t believe in God. Not in the God of Truth, anyway.

It isn’t the press’ job, but the people’s job to “stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us.” The fact that the electorate is gullible and mis-educated and lazy and unable to think for ourselves isn’t the fault of the brainwashed bubbleheads in the media. We 21st-century Americans have vastly more potential sources for news and information than did our forbears. Somehow they sorted out truth from error, at least most of the time.

We heard from the usual bigots who can’t imagine parents choosing a religious school for their children. … Listen to the gentleman who talks about the detractors as they try to protect, NOT the children, but an establishment that seeks to contain children rather than allow them to find the best education possible.

I recently saw the movie LINCOLN.  In that movie we see Democrats continually fight against ratifying the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.  The 13th Amendment abolished slavery.

The Democrats wanted to protect, not the slaves but the “Establishment” that kept them in slavery.  They managed to look past the human element and work towards protecting an establishment.

While “School Choice” may not be the same as “freeing the slaves”, many have dubbed this the “Civil Rights” issue of our time.  The question is: Will Democrats sit on the wrong side of history again?  Or will they have the courage to look past the “establishment” and see the faces of these children? –  Link to Website

Why Public Schools Should Teach the Bible Westerners cannot be considered literate without a basic knowledge of this foundational text. – The Wall Street Journal – by ROMA DOWNEY AND MARK BURNETT – Have you ever sensed in your own life that “the handwriting was on the wall”?

Have you ever laughed at something that came “out of the mouths of babes”? Or gone “the extra mile” for an opportunity that might vanish “in the twinkling of an eye”?

If you have, then you’ve been thinking of the Bible. These phrases are just “a drop in the bucket” (another biblical phrase) of the many things we say and do every day that have their origins in the most read, most influential book of all time.

“In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.

These may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.”

And number two, explain to them the real danger of socialist communist state welfare state, big brother government. If people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing ever can help the United States. You may kiss goodbye to your freedoms … all this freedom will evaporate in five seconds including your precious lives.”

ADS DURING AMERICA’S GREAT SUPER BOWL SPECTACLE: HOW FAR WILL THEY GO WITH THE OCCULT AND LUST? – … Mercedes Benz promises that this Super Bowl Sunday, “something sinister” is coming. Its teaser has a whirl of leaves entering a New Orleans restaurant as a song about the devil plays. … There has been a homosexual actor with a message in eye paint (“Feb 3 2013”) promoting the game for CBS as a mockery of those biblical message that Tim Tebow wore in his eye paint (before the league disemboweled him). …  Excuse the descriptions.  America is very ill. We all live on “Jersey Shores.” (Get ready for more Hurricane Sandys.) …  Meantime, Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl issue has a photo of two men kissing.

Public schools: vs. public education – One of the reasons New Hampshire has to continue debating school choice year after year is that self-proclaimed supporters of public education do not support public education. They support public schools. … The difference between the tax credit and what the state otherwise would pay for that student’s education remains with the state and can be used to enhance the funding of government schools.

That is not defunding the public schools. It is buying a good education at a state-accredited school at a fraction of the cost of providing it through a government school. Opposition to this beneficial arrangement is driven by legislators whose loyalty is to government schools and their employees, not to parents, students or taxpayers. –  Link to Website

The Chesterton Prophecies and America’s Fall From Within  – by Dave Hodges – The protagonist in The Flying Inn, Dalroy, proclaimed that great nations have frequently followed a similar pattern of progressive and complete self-destruction:

    The great nation declares victory over the barbarians.

    The great nation begins to enjoy the fruits of cheap labor by employing the barbarians that it had conquered.

    The barbarians become so enmeshed into the great nation, that an alliance with barbarians is formed (e.g., de facto amnesty including members of criminal organizations).  

    Assimilation is followed with the barbarians becoming a privileged class. Thus, the great nation is conquered.

Near the end of the book, almost every virtuous cultural tradition, of the great nation, comes under sharp criticism, while every cultural tradition emanating from the barbarians’ place of origin became praiseworthy.

‘Harbinger’ author pleads for return to God – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn  … stood at the podium for this year’s Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Inauguration Day. … “What we once knew to be immoral, we celebrate,” he said. “What we once knew to be right, we war against.” …

“The address at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast was another example. It was strange. that morning, in Washington, D.C., President Obama gave his vision for the next fours years and I gave the message of ‘The Harbinger,’ a call of prophetic warning.

“I spoke of America’s moral apostasy, and Obama spoke, for the first time in any inauguration, of advancing gay rights and of the Stonewall Uprising as a great American event we should honor.

He said the ancient kingdom known as Israel was founded on God’s word, and was blessed.

“But the people [Israelites] made a fatal mistake. They turned away from their God, removed Him from their lives, their culture, government, economy, public square, out of the instruction and lives of their children.”

“They made themselves strangers to the God of their fathers, and as God was driven out, their idols were brought in,” he said. Those were immorality, materialism, carnality. …  – Link to Website

“When yon become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind, that God commands you to choose for rulers, just men, who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government, depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty, and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good, so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness.it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws. Intriguing men can never be safely trusted.”

Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine – by Gary Kelly – … Christian conservatives can no longer look to Republicans, the “conservative” media, commentators, and pundits who appear to be only “preaching to the choir.” Christian conservatives must begin to confront family, neighbors, friends, preachers, and “Christian progressives” to “reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” in righteousness and justice as defined by the Word of God.

Christian conservatives must also keep in mind that progressives do not respect facts and history, but reject these truths using unjustified diversions that Stalin and Hitler would be proud of. Progressives, who have no valid definition of how boundaries are to be determined will lie, distort, omit facts, attack and falsely accuse conservatives by deflecting from specific issues and facts. This plan to be evasive and redirect blame in an attempt to discredit conservatives has been greatly successful, due in large part by the willing collaboration of the Marxist media. …

The left has also been successful in deceptively redefining words like “normal, bullying, morals, values, bigotry, hate, tolerance, safety, discrimination, and diversity,” all in an effort to criminalize Christianity in the hopes of silencing God’s elect completely. As Jesus declared: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that is truthful comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” (John 3:19-21) –  Link to Website

The U. S. Is Trapped in an “Age of Ignorance: N.Y. Rev. of Books – by Dartagnan Follow – Widespread ignorance bordering on idiocy is our new national goal. It’s no use pretending otherwise and telling us, as Thomas Friedman did in the Times a few days ago, that educated people are the nation’s most valuable resources. Sure, they are, but do we still want them? It doesn’t look to me as if we do. The ideal citizen of a politically corrupt state, such as the one we now have, is a gullible dolt unable to tell truth from bullshit. …

It took years of indifference and stupidity to make us as ignorant as we are today. Anyone who has taught college over the last forty years, as I have, can tell you how much less students coming out of high school know every year. At first it was shocking, but it no longer surprises any college instructor that the nice and eager young people enrolled in your classes have no ability to grasp most of the material being taught. –  Link to Website

“In every condition of life, and in forming your opinions on every subject, let it be an established principle in regulating your conduct, that nothing can be honorable, which is morally wrong. Men who disregard or disbelieve revelation, often err from the true standard of honor, by substituting public opinion, or false maxims, for the divine laws. The character of God, his holy attributes, and perfect law, constitute the only models and rules of excellence and true honor. Whatever deviates from these models and rules, must be wrong and dishonorable. Crime and vice are therefore not only repugnant to duty, and to human happiness, but are always derogatory to reputation. All vice implies defect and meanness in human character.”

— Noah Webster (1758-1843) Father of the Dictionary & American Patriot

Founding Fathers Quotes About Homosexual Sin – by Pastor Steven Andrew – Fearing God, and wanting the USA to be blessed by God and not cursed, our Founding Fathers made Christian laws for our nation. God says, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:22-32).

George Washington court martialed homosexuals. He forbid this sin in the military. Giving the order to drum out a soldier accused of sodomy, the greatest American said: “…the Commander in Chief… with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes [sodomy]…” … Noah Webster, the Schoolmaster of the Republic, wrote in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary that homosexual sin was against nature as God says in Romans 1. Noah Webster instructed Americans in the dictionary with: “Sodomy: A crime against nature.” … –  Link to Website

Pastor’s Letter – Welcome to Sodom. Yes, that is what Maryland has now become. Sodom with its neighbor Gomorrah was a city of antiquity whose disregard for the natural law of human love led to its destruction. That same disregard is now written into state law. The distinctive physical and life-cultivating complimentarity of woman and man has been dismissed as a basis for marriage. … Nothing changes for us, because God defines marriage. This has not changed. The purposeful union of man and woman was the crown of God creation. Anything else by that name mocks what God has created, and therefore mocks God. …

We cannot betray what God has created without betraying God. This means never placating or playing along

with a false notion, no matter how “well intention” some may be. It will not be easy. We do so at the risk of the ire and even legal sanctions this will invoke. Our beloved state is now a modern-day Sodom. We should not be surprised at the coming of confusion, conflict, and even catastrophe. We reap what we sow. May God have mercy on us.  –  Link to Website

“I have been credibly informed, that, some years before the Revolution, an eminent philosopher of this country, now deceased, declared to David Hume, that Christianity would be exterminated from the American colonies within a century from that time. The opinion has doubtless been often declared and extensively imbibed; and has probably furnisled our enemies their chief hopes of success. Where religion prevails, their system cannot succeed. Where religion prevails, Illuminatifm cannot make disciples, a French directory cannot govern, a nation cannot be made slaves, nor villains, nor atheists, nor beasts. To destroy us, therefore, in this dreadful sense, our enemies must sirst destroy our Sabbath, and seduce us from the house of God.

Religion and liberty are the meat and the drink of the body politic. Withdraw one of them, and it languishes, consumes, and dies. If indifference to either at any time becomes the prevailing character of a people, one half of their motives to vigorous defense is lost, and the hopes of their enemies are proportionally increased. Here, eminently, they are inseparable. Without religion we may possibly retain the freedom of savages, bears, and wolves; but not the freedom of New-England. If our religion were gone, our state of society would perisli with it; and nothing would Deleft, which would We worth desending- Our children us course, if not ourselves, would be prepared, as the ox for the slaughter, to become the victims of conquest, tyranny, and atheism.”

Planned Parenthood Sees Record High Abortions, Taxpayer Funding – by Steven Ertelt – The new report released by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) shows the abortion giant did a record 333,964 abortions* on unborn children during the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Those abortions were estimated to have generated $150 million dollars for the “nonprofit” organization.

While the number of abortions reached a record high, only 2,300 Planned Parenthood customers were referred to adoption agencies during the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Meanwhile, the annual report reveals PPFA generated nearly $1.2 billion in total income. –  Link to Website

* It was a self-evident truth that slavery was a violation God’s law and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration stated, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Abortion is the taking of a life, thus without life, it is impossible to have liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Using the words of warning given by George Mason at the Constitutional Convention, and Abraham Lincoln from the time of the Civil War, and simply substitute the word abortion (or any other national sin against God), for the word slavery, it is self evident what the nation faces today.

[Abortion] brings the judgment of Heaven on a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins by national calamities.

— George Mason (Founding Father)

The Almighty has His own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.” If we shall suppose that [abortion] in American is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to the country this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came. … Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

— Abraham Lincoln (16th President of the U.S.)
