Democrats Are Full-of-Schiff!

Democrats Are Full-of-Schiff!

Forgive my play on works….or not.

I invite you to spend some time with me ridiculing the traitorous leftist democrats. They deserve an avalanche of our contemptuous abuse, at the very least,

Traitorous leftist revolutionaries have infiltrated our government. They strategize to lie, cheat, and commit treason in order to destroy any patriot who gets in the way of their dream: The dream of “transforming” our nation into a Socialist America of democrats. They deserve very punishing consequences.

Can you imagine how George Washington would deal with them?

“Separation of Church/State” Myth!

November 10, 2019

“Separation of Church/State” Myth!

The pithy, “Separation of Church and State” statement, used by leftists and atheist organizations to expunge religious activities from America’s schools and other public places, is no more than a twisted example of propaganda by a competing religion.

Leftist and atheists are devout believers in secular humanism, which elevates the power of human wisdom to a “God”-like status. Secular humanism is incompatible with the world’s metaphysical God centered religions.

Historically, secular humanism’s sociopolitical manifestations are socialist and communist states. In these forms of government, citizen’s beliefs in God, compete with the “worship” of the authority of the governing state. Therefore all competing religions are suppressed in tyrannical ways; often resulting in the imprisonment or execution of many members of that population.

Learn more about secular humanism here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism

Now learn about the true meaning of concept of “separation of church and state”, which is often distorted and used as a weapon to bludgeon religious activities and symbols from our schools and public places. President Thomas Jefferson, the author of that phrase, absolutely did not intend it to be used to abridge the free will of individuals or groups of individuals to practice their religions in public places, schools or government buildings.

America’s Constitution speaks very clearly to the issues surrounding religion in its First Amendment, where it states:

“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.”

It does not contain the phrase “separation of church and state”.

America’s First Amendment protects citizen’s religious rights by guaranteeing that no particular religion will be promoted by the government over others. It also insures that the government will not restrict, or abridge, individual citizen’s religious practices.

See for your self!

In order to protect the right of students to practice their religions on school property, Congress passed the Equal Access Act of 1984. The explanation that follows is quoted from the source that follows it.

The school has to provide equal access to all non-curricular clubs. If at least one or more curricular clubs exist the school has established a limited open forum and must provide equal access to all facilities used by one or more of the clubs such as: classrooms, copy machines, intercoms, club fairs, bulletin boards, school newspapers, yearbook pictures or any other benefit provided to a secular club.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WHAT IS A SECONDARY SCHOOL?

State law, not federal law, defines which grades are considered secondary schools. Grades 9-12 are always included. However, “It is unlikely that the Equal Access Act applies to so-called “middle” schools⁠.

WHAT IS A STUDENT-INITIATED CLUB?

The club has to be started and controlled by students not adults. Neither school employees nor outside people can initiate or maintain the club. Students can invite outside speakers but those speakers cannot be regulars or come more often than about once per month. However, students can meet as often as they want with a mentor outside of school who helps and instructs them how to successfully run a club. Students may choose their club leaders restricting certain leadership roles to their beliefs. “However, general membership probably cannot be limited⁠3.”

WHAT IS A NON-CURRICULAR CLUB?

The Supreme court stated that a non-curricular club is “any student group that does not directly relate to the body of courses offered by the school⁠4.” For example chess clubs, drama clubs and community service clubs, etc. fall into that category.

WHAT IS NON-INSTRUCTIONAL TIME?

“Non-instructional time⁠5” is any time when no instruction takes place. Such as in the morning before classroom instruction begins or in the afternoon when instruction is over. Lunches and free periods are also considered non-instructional time. Generally, if other clubs are meeting during certain times the christian club has the same privilege.

CAN THE SCHOOL DENY A CHRISTIAN CLUB IF THE SCHOOL HAS NOT CREATED A “LIMITED OPEN FORUM”?

Yes. Any club using the Equal Access Act can only be started if the school board has a policy to agree to have a limited open forum. If at least one other non curricular club exists in the school, the school has already created a limited open forum and needs to allow the christian club as well.

However a christian club can also be established in this case via the First Amendment Rights which does not need a limited open forum.

CAN A SCHOOL REGULATE WHEN AND WHERE THE CLUB MEETS?

The school has the authority to set a reasonable time and place. However it must not discriminate and must apply those guidelines to all clubs equally.

DO I NEED A TEACHER SPONSOR FOR THE CLUB?

The Equal Access Act does not mandate school sponsors. Therefore sponsorship is determined by individual school policies. If the school does require club sponsors it’s important to know that sponsors of other clubs are allowed to participate in the club. However the act stipulates that the sponsors of christian clubs can only attend in a non-participatory function. This is to prevent the appearance that the school is trying to establish religion thus violating the establishment clause.

CAN STUDENTS DISSEMINATE FLYERS ABOUT THEIR CLUB OR ANNOUNCE THE CLUB MEETING ON THE INTERCOM?

Yes, christian clubs have the same rights as other clubs to promote and invite other students to the club. This does not constitute an official sponsorship by the school which would violate the establishment clause. If schools want to avoid the appearance of a possible establishment violation they can add a disclaimer to the bottom of the flyer or at the end of the announcement stating that this activity is not officially endorsed by the school.

WHAT IF THE SCHOOL IS FEARFUL OF VIOLATING THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE?

Even though the Mergens case mentioned below ruled that a christian club cannot violate the establishment clause some school officials are still fearful. Especially when students exercise their right to send out flyers or make an announcement on the intercom. In that case the school can have the club add a disclaimer at the bottom of the flyer stating that this is not a school endorsed event. The same can be stated after the intercom announcement. This alleviates any fears school officials may have.

CAN OUTSIDE SPEAKERS OR COMMUNITY LEADERS SPEAK AT MEETINGS?

Non-students ”may not direct, conduct, control or regularly attend activities of student groups⁠.” Speakers may infrequently come to meetings if invited by the students and if the school does not prohibit such guests in other clubs. However, school administration is allowed to prohibit outside speakers in a christian club if they prohibit it in all non-curricular school clubs.⁠

The Equal Access Act of 1984 has three stipulations:

1. It cannot discriminate “on the basis of religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such meetings”
2. The club has to be student-initiated and student managed.
3. Schools are only allowed to restrict the club to maintain order and to protect the safety and well-being of students and faculty. However school officials do have the right to entirely shut down all non-curricular clubs. Prohibiting every single club including the football team would constitute closing the limited open forum and the Equal Access Act would no longer apply and require equal access to all clubs.

https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1077/equal-access-act-of-1984

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, the idea that religion must be removed from all public spaces appears to me to be in direct conflict with the equal access act of 1984. Similarly, all religious and political action groups should be allowed to conduct their peaceful parades and rallies on public property (i.e., owned and paid for by “the people”), this concept should also be applied to religious symbols and moral codes, in general, and also their holidays and other sacred times of the year.

It is essential that religious freedoms be strongly supported, cherished and revered in America.

My reading of the world history of declined sociocultures informs me that those that loose their benevolent and pro-social religions are at risk for failure. Yes, these are only “correlated” events, but correlated events can be causal events.

Ask your self, have you seen evidence of this chain of events unfolding within America in its recent history?

Why should America turn its back on its former religious freedoms and run the risk of ruination?

Jettison America’s Electoral College?

November 2, 2019

Jettison America’s Electoral College?

Someone recently sent me this article advocating the replacement of America’s Constitutional Electoral College with the popular vote. I hope you will give this article (appearing near the end of this commentary) your careful attention. Its author is a highly acclaimed Ph.D. academician who is a widely noted expert on such matters.

In sharp contrast, I am certainly no expert on this topic. However, I do have a carefully considered opinion that strongly supports the continuation of America’s Constitutional Electoral College.

My judgment is based upon the following observations and I invite you to think about this potentially existential issue.

Please consider the following:

1. Pure democracies are documented to self-destruct and be short lived.

Alexander Fraser Tytler > Quotes > Quotable Quote

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Of course, one might argue that America is not really a democracy. Instead, America is a Constitutional Republic, based upon democratic processes. Therefore, we may not be so affected by the ravages of human nature (the selfish quest for wealth, fame and power, etc.) as our Founding Fathers had feared.

I am now 77yrs. old. Having read American history carefully and personally experienced stunning damaging changes in our society. tI have sadly observed Mr. Tytler’s chronology of cultural decline unfolding upon us. Our Founding Fathers did their best to protect us from ourselves. Perhaps you will agree with me that we have been failing to do our part to achieve this elusive evolutionary goal.

The following is a quote from a Wikipedia article about John Keane’s thoughts aOf course, one might argue that America is not a democracy. bout about the fragility of democracies (now perhaps Constitutional Republics, also). In 2009, Keane wrote a book entitled, The life and Death of Democracy. The following paragraph is a quote taken from a review of Keane’s warning.

‘An important mainstay of Keane’s account of the history of democracy is the need to understand the inner fragility of democracy – in fact for the author that is a precondition for the survival of democracy. Democracy is by no means indestructible. By 1941, in fact as Keane points out, there were only 11 functioning democracies left in the world. In less than 50 years the work of many dictators and demagogues in the name of ‘the people’ had almost succeeded in wiping democracy from the pages of our history books. The present time is no different, Keane warns:’ “the enemies of democracy are on the rise, and even pundits and panjandrums half sympathetic to it are openly cynical about claims that it is a desirable way of life for all the people of the planet”.^[11]

For a full reading of this article see the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_and_Death_of_Democracy

2. Our Founding Fathers were very aware of the fragility of pure democracies and therefore created America’s Constitutional Republic in order to create checks and balance’s against tyranny among the powers of its components.

Our Founding Fathers also judged that in a Representative Republic (I.e., the Electoral College) would be less prone to out-come changing voter fraud.

It should be self-evident that, though imperfect as all nations and their cultures are, America emerged as the greatest nation to ever exist on earth. The temporal span of this amazing achievement is open to debate. But, America’s stunning record-setting achievements are not. They are a matter of historical fact.

A very significant part of the balance of power designed into America’s Constitution was the creation of the Electoral College. Our Founding Fathers designed it to mitigate the growth of electoral corruption and the moral weaknesses that destroy pure democracies. One major downfall of democracies is an increasingly corrupt political class creating a growing population dependent upon government “welfare entitlements”. These dependent citizens then produce a growing electorate that vote themselves more and more largess on the breaking backs of working citizens. To do this, the dependent class secures more largess by voting for corrupt and pandering politicians.

This process, as it proceeds, has been named Socialism, and its outcome is most often a catastrophic failure of the state with dictatorships, death and destruction as a consequence.

3. The following two short videos explain the advantages of the Electoral College to America and they document the genius of our Founding Fathers. These, and similar other resources, should have been taught to all of our citizens during their educational experiences.

Please now see this second short video on this topic.

https://www.prageru.com/video/do-you-understand-the-electoral-college/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwl8XtBRDAARIsAKfwtxDRymJWPzy7S0vN9PtEBKCKwWjvGMzYf216dxnVsijJimwMyDENiUgaAmN_EALw_wcB

Finally, carefully evaluate the following article that is critical of America’s Electoral College and supports its change to a simple popular vote; a pure democracy.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-biggest-argument-for-keeping-the-electoral-college-relies-on-a-myth-2019-09-10

4. Finally, it is for the reasons stated or displayed in items 1 thru 3 above, and the ones that now follow, that I urge America to resist all Leftist Democrat party Anti-Electoral College and Anti-American initiatives.

“Although the nationwide popular vote does not directly determine the winner of a presidential election, it does strongly correlate with who is the victor. In 53 of the 58 total elections held so far (about 91 percent), the winner of the national popular vote has also carried the Electoral College vote.” For more information see:

https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › United_States_presidential_election

Please note that the Anti-Electoral College Market Watch author provided data for only the five Presidential elections from 2000 to 2016, to try to prove his point.
To overturn the Electoral College will require two-thirds of the House and the Senate and ratification from three-fourths of states (i.e., 38 states.) It could be pursued through a constitutional convention. But that would require convening two-thirds of state legislatures with a favorable vote to terminate the Electoral College from 75% of them. By the Framer’s design, this is very hard to make happen and is not a possibility within our foreseeable future.
Only radical leftist democrats are calling for an end to the Electoral College. I judge that this is but one diversionary strategy they are using to keep voter focus off of their various hostile attacks upon our Constitution and obstructive legislative and Impeachment shenanigans that are focused upon President Trump, the Republicans; as well as virtually all conservative beliefs, values and practices in America.
The Anti-Electoral College initiative is just one of many assaults by corrupt leftist-democrat politicians to destroy America’s Founding Constitution and “transform America” to a socialist state.
Finally: In his 2019 #1 Best Selling book, “Guilty by Reason of Insanity: Why the Democrats Must Not Win”, David Limbaugh quotes history professor Allen Guelzo.

‘The Electoral College was designed by the framers deliberately, like the rest of the Constitution, to counteract the worst human impulses and protect the nation from the dangers inherent in democracy. The Electoral College is neither antiquated nor toxic; it is an underappreciated institution that helps preserve our constitutional system, and it deserves a full-throated defense…..This is, after all, a constitutional republic, and even the most casual reader of the Constitution cannot fail to notice that the Electoral College is the only method specified by that document for selecting the president of the United States. For all the reverence paid to the popular vote in presidential elections, the Constitution says not a word about holding a popular vote for the presidents.’ (P. 258)

I urge you to vote all corrupt politicians of any party and Radical Leftists out of office at every opportunity.

The Bible: About Socialism and Capitalism

October 25, 2019

The Bible: About Socialism and Capitalism

I urge all Americans to read Dr. Dobson’s and Minister Dr. Jack Graham’s thoughts about God, the Bible and Socialism Vs. America’s Constitutional Republic based upon Capitalism.

It is essential that the content of what follows be taught to our children, youth and young adults.

I wish God’s Blessings to you and your loved ones; and to all of America.

V. Thomas Mawhinney, Ph.D., 10/25/19

Dr. Dobson’s August Newsletter

Dr. Dobsons August 2019 Newsletter

Ladies and Gentlemen, I write you today to express my profound concern for our nation and for everything cherished by people of faith. “Love of country” as we have known it is in serious jeopardy. Those who are determined to “fundamentally change” America have forged a virulent and growing political movement that recognizes no allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. They think they have a better idea. People like that despise the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights—among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Indeed, the concept that our freedoms were a gift from the Creator is anathema to these revolutionaries. I am especially concerned about a generation of children who are being manipulated and warped day by day. These vulnerable boys and girls have no defense against activists and some liberal teachers who are propagandizing them. They see our kids as a way to guarantee their vision of a socialist future. Their goal is to recast America as a Marxist, atheistic, all-powerful form of government.

Is such a tragic day coming on this beloved country? Not if we and millions of other patriots can prevent it!

Several weeks ago, I watched a pastor on television who spoke of these concerns. He is my friend, Dr. Jack Graham, senior minister at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. I was so moved by his words that I asked for permission to share them with the constituents of the James Dobson Family Institute. Dr. Graham granted my request, and below is a partial transcript of his sermon, delivered to his worldwide audience in late June.

“What the Bible Teaches About Socialism and Capitalism”

Dr. Jack Graham

Let’s define our terms. Socialism is a political and economic system in which there is government ownership of the means of production and the primary focus of providing equality. Socialism favors large government and governmental control of social services and much more. In socialism, the government is all important and is involved in every aspect of the lives of those whom it rules.

Contrast this with capitalism. Ours is an economic system in which there is private ownership, private property, and private possession of goods. In capitalism, there is a limited role for the presence and force of government in individual lives. Economically and philosophically, capitalism and socialism are two forms of government between which we need to differentiate.

Americans have historically favored capitalism and the freedom it provides. Surprisingly, however, a shift appears to be occurring in public opinion, especially among the young.

A recent USA Today report said that 4 in 10 Americans embrace some form of socialism. A recent poll of millennials found that a majority, 58 percent, would rather live in a socialist nation than a capitalist nation. Some young people perceive capitalism and corporate America as being greedy and without compassion or concern for others. Yes, there is greed in this country, but there is greed whether it is in a socialistic system or a capitalistic system. It is in the heart of every human being.

What accounts for the changing attitudes among the young? Those under 30 years of age have not seen the devastating effects of Soviet-style repressive governments under socialism. It is the big bad brother, communism. We’re past the Cold War now, and a generation has arisen that either hasn’t been taught history, doesn’t read or understand it, or doesn’t care. They are listening to their liberal teachers, professors and politicians; and what they have been told sounds good. It appears compassionate and loving. But is it? I can say emphatically that it is not!

Socialism is fundamentally at odds with the Christian worldview because it seeks to suppress all people according to the dictates of the state. No one serious about their Christian faith can accept socialism, and here’s why. Socialism is totally secular and is predicated on atheism. That is a fact. Our faith in Jesus Christ is built on the Word of God, the revelation of Scripture, and the belief that God exists. We believe in the coming resurrection of Christ, and with that faith comes freedom to live an abundant life that is founded on liberty.

Contrast that with Karl Marx, the father of socialism. He considered religion of all types, specifically Christianity, to be what he called “an opiate of the people.” In other words, belief in God is a drug to be used to pacify the public. Marx was the originator of the horribly repressive Soviet style of government. He was also greatly influenced by Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. It purports to explain the existence of life on earth. Human beings, he said, are nothing more than advanced animals. If that is true, any one of us can be disposed of at the whim of the state.

But the Bible says in Genesis 1: 27-28, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.'”

The Creator later went on to tell Adam and Eve in Genesis, chapter 2, that they were to possess the land, the garden that was given to them and to till the soil. The first man, Adam, was a farmer, and he was given property to possess and property in which to produce goods. And that became foundational to the Judeo-Christian ethic. It is evident throughout the Old and New Testaments.

But the philosophical views of socialists such as Marx and his disciples assert that God does not exist. In fact, they believe the idea of God is harmful and must be forcefully removed from society when necessary. Atheism is at the very core of this political and economic system.
We are told by socialists today, “Well, hostility to faith is a thing of the past. That was old style socialism and communism. Today’s socialists are no longer trying to destroy religion. It has changed since the days of Karl Marx.”

That is their argument, but it is hollow. Socialist countries today still oppress and threaten people of faith, all faiths. Their leaders are determined to root out Christianity. This is why churches in China are detonated and Christians continue to be persecuted. China looked a little better for a while, but now it’s going backwards. That is also true in North Korea. It’s why the luggage of Western visitors is inspected for Bibles. It is why there is persecution, discrimination, and repression in socialist and communist countries. Pastors in Cuba and other Latin American countries are still persecuted. Likewise, evangelism in Soviet Russia is very limited today. This is still occurring under socialist dictatorships.

Despite this opposition to Christianity, support for socialism is spreading alarmingly in America. For example, their proponents are campaigning against Christian appointees to our federal judiciary, such as what occurred in the hearings to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Why? Because socialists are radically opposed to any outspoken Christian being placed in an influential position. Leftists make their views clear. They say, “If you’re going to profess your faith openly, we’re going to oppose your candidacy.”

These are but a few of the examples that I could give you. Can you name one socialist country—communist or otherwise—that is open to religious liberty? There is none. Opposition to God is at the very root of this system called socialism. It is agnostic, atheistic, and aggressive to believers in Jesus Christ.

Socialists also undermine the dignity of human life. We noted in Scripture that God created us in His own image. That image has been shattered by sin but restored by Christ. Believers in Him have been made holy by His death on the cross. We are not animals. We are God’s creation, and He provided for us a remedy for sin and depravity.

He has also given us liberty and the autonomy of life. As the Declaration of Independence states, freedom and liberty are gifts from God, not privileges granted to some by government. In socialism, the objective of government is to hold unrivaled power and control. The common people are just a part of the machine. Elites at the pinnacle of government live in palaces, while those who labor to earn a living get the dregs.

Just look at the example of modern Venezuela. It was a beautiful and magnificent country just a few years ago. It had one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. But under the hobnailed boot of socialist government, the Venezuelan people have been deprived, murdered, and allowed to starve. That is what happens when ordinary people are seen as nothing more than advanced animals. They have no legal protections and no guaranteed liberties. They are expendable and will live or die at the pleasure of the state.

The 20th century was the bloodiest century in the history of the world, primarily because of socialist dictators. Three million people were slaughtered under Lenin’s dictatorship in Soviet Russia. Twenty-five million died in World War I. Joseph Stalin murdered close to 60 million peasants, along with his opponents during his socialist reign. During the Nazi dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, more than 50 million people died around the world, including 6 million Jews, Gypsies, and Polish people. Forty-five million Chinese people were butchered under Mao Zedong’s communist dictatorship. Many of them were of the Christian faith. This is the record of brutal socialist dictators in the past 100 years.

America has blood on its hands too. More than 60 million babies in the U.S. have been murdered by abortionists. Planned Parenthood and the entire abortion movement were inspired by the racist and socialist Margaret Sanger. She taught that babies were expendable. If helpless babies can be eliminated at will, what does that mean for people of all ages? It cheapens human life. This is where a godless system of government leads—to misery, poverty, disease, and death.

The Bible teaches that every human being is a child of God, and therefore has great value to Him. Not only does socialism devalue human life, but it has been an economic disaster where it has gained hegemony. Compare the prosperity of West Germany during the Cold War to the socialistic deprivations of East Germany—or North Korea compared with South Korea. Socialism has been an economic bust wherever it has been tried. Do we really want to repeat the disastrous mistakes of history? Apparently some do, but America will never recover if our people make that foolish choice.

Congressman Gerald Smith made the following statement, which is now inscribed in the Congressional Record. He said in 1958, “You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give away that which it doesn’t first take from somebody else.”

When half of the citizens begin to realize that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half begins to understand that it does no good to work because someone else is going to get what they worked for, that, my friend, is the end of free enterprise.

The Scripture has much to tell us about work and its role in the divine plan. Second Thessalonians 3:10 states, “If a man won’t work, neither shall he eat.” Ecclesiastes 2:24 reads, “There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat, and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also I saw is from the hand of God.” Genesis 2:15 tells us what the Creator assigned Adam to do, as follows: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

Now, let me say, the Bible does not endorse any one political system. It does endorse freedom, and private ownership, and the value of work and a free market system that decentralizes economic power. By contrast, socialism suppresses the poor, steals from the rich, legislates theft, and encourages envy. It confiscates what people have sweated to earn and achieve and then distributes it to those who have not earned what they have been given. Socialism focuses on the government and the state. Capitalism elevates the status of mankind. That is what it comes down to.

Isn’t it good to celebrate our freedoms in America? We should reflect on what God has done in our country and thank Him for the foundational principles that have made America a great nation. In all these years, I don’t know that I have preached a message quite like this one today. But I delivered these perspectives on socialism because we must oppose the lie on which it is based. We’re experiencing a life-and-death struggle that will determine not only our future but the welfare of generations to come.

Let me summarize what I have shared with you. Socialism is fundamentally contradictory to the Christian worldview. It seeks to suppress all people, especially Christians, in favor of the state. And the way that it does that is by breaking down the institutions that God has established, particularly marriage and the family. When I see the breakdown of our culture, our society, and especially the family, it truly breaks my heart. There is a spiritual war going on all around us. It is a battle for the heart and soul of our nation. We are fighting for the sanctity of life, the sacredness of biblical marriage, sexual identity, religious freedom, and, yes, economic freedom that gives us the ability to prosper within a nation. Socialism opposes each of these cornerstones.

My prayer is that, as our forebears fought and died to secure the blessings of liberty, we must also rise to the challenge that faces us. Now it is our turn.

************************

I can’t tell you how passionately I feel about this message delivered from the pulpit of Dr. Jack Graham. It should be read (or heard) by every freedom-loving citizen in this country.

If you are among them, I hope you will remember these exhortations when you continue to hear the mainstream media promoting socialist revolution in the days ahead. I also urge you to support the voices who are warning against those who want to “fundamentally transform” democracy. What is so wrong with our constitutional form of government that it should be thrown on the ash heap of history? What we are facing here is a culture war that is driven by those who hate Christianity and the Church of Jesus Christ. If the far left is successful in capturing the hearts and minds of Americans, the entire world will descend into a spiritual darkness unlike anything that has ever been seen. Please make that a matter of fervent prayer during these next 14 months, and do pass this letter on to your friends and pastors.

I also ask you to please continue to support our ministry, among others, who are trying to defend righteousness in a nation under siege. There is no time to lose.

Socialism Is Ruining America

October 23, 2019

Socialism Is Ruining America

Yes, it is a fact, socialism IS ruining America!

How do I know it does…and it surly will continue to do so, if socialism is not stopped?

Just look at the world-wide failures of socialism and its costs in cultural disasters and death.

See for your self:

But, you may argue: “America is the strongest and richest nation in the world. These disasters will not happen here!”

**Wake-Up America! Socialist disasters are happening in America right now. Furthermore, they are obviously growing worse with each passing year.**

American cities run by liberal democrats implementing common socialist policies are poverty-stricken decaying cesspools of crime, homelessness, drugs, government debt and streets running with human urine and excrement.

Voters must quickly stop the cataclysmic spread of socialism in America. Or, the following short video will introduce you to your future and that of your loved ones.

Only fools will vote for radical-liberal democrats and outright leftists.

Those who withhold their votes in protest of Trump’s unattractive personality (or vote for a third party or a write-in candidate) are, in essence, “voting” for the radical-liberal, leftist socialists.

“Are Some Cultures Better Than Others”

“Are Some Cultures Better Than Others”

Please see the following short video by Prager U.

The fact is that some cultures are better than others, and so it is with America and its Western Culture.

See if you agree or disagree!

Why Not Socialism ? # 1

Why Not Socialism? # 1

Wake-Up America!

America’s Government funded and socialized public education system is not acculturating your children to our historical ways of life, economy and government.

As a result, increasing numbers of your children and youth have learned that socialism is the best form of economy and government on earth. Therefore America should become a socialist society.

The following series will demonstrate, with facts and examples, that socialism is awful and tends to progress to communism, which is even worse yet!

Thanks to Prager University for creating the videos that will be displayed in this series about the universal failure of socialism.

Please share this blog with everyone you know.

Then do your duty! Go to the polls and vote the socialists out of all levels of America’s government!

Impeach Trump!

October 6, 2019

Impeach Trump!

Yep, I am fighting fire with fire today. I just can’t help myself.

Hopefully I tricked some Democrats into visiting my conservative blog.

Now, I will think like the psychologist I am.

My bet is that once here, they will not be able to stop looking….kinda like moths-to-flames.

It appears that many Democrat party politicians, like all psychopaths, are unable to accurately see and critique themselves. Like psychopaths they are unable to learn from experiences. They do the same dumb self-defeating things over and over again, but what they do invariably hurts others.

Psychopaths are very socially skilled and they can fool many “normal” folks, often naive in the face of a psychopath’s abusive, heartless and frequently criminal ways. Eventually, after they have been repeatedly harmed, most will catch on and get away from that source of their pain and misery.

But, some never get free of the control of psychopaths…these long-term victims are normally themselves showing the damaging emotional problem of a Dependent Personality Disorder.

I fully understand that there are a few psychopaths within the Republican Party. These individuals are often labeled “Rinos”(Republicans in Name Only).

I am convinced that since the times of slavery in America, the Democrat Party has worked to subjugate its electorate using deception, out-right lies, trickery, and fraud; and by addicting their constituents to entitlements and “Free Stuff” paid for with all of our tax monies. All of this done, in perfect psychopathic style with little or no conscience pangs.

The Democrat Party, in recent history, has so embraced these scandalous attributes as to earn my title for them: The Psychopathic Democrat Party.

“Separation of Church/State” Myth!

The pithy, “Separation of Church and State” statement, used by leftists and atheist organizations to expunge religious activities from America’s schools and other public places, is no more than a twisted example of propaganda by a competing religion.

“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.”

It does not contain the phrase “separation of church and state”.

America’s First Amendment protects citizen’s religious rights by guaranteeing that no particular religion will be promoted by the government over others. It also insures that the government will not restrict, or abridge, individual citizen’s religious practices.

See for your self!

In order to protect the right of students to practice their religions on school property, Congress passed the Equal Access Act of 1984. The explanation that follows is quoted from the source that follows it.

​WHAT IS A SECONDARY SCHOOL?

WHAT IS A STUDENT-INITIATED CLUB?

WHAT IS A NON-CURRICULAR CLUB?

WHAT IS NON-INSTRUCTIONAL TIME?

CAN THE SCHOOL DENY A CHRISTIAN CLUB IF THE SCHOOL HAS NOT CREATED A “LIMITED OPEN FORUM”?

CAN A SCHOOL REGULATE WHEN AND WHERE THE CLUB MEETS?

DO I NEED A TEACHER SPONSOR FOR THE CLUB?

CAN STUDENTS DISSEMINATE FLYERS ABOUT THEIR CLUB OR ANNOUNCE THE CLUB MEETING ON THE INTERCOM?

WHAT IF THE SCHOOL IS FEARFUL OF VIOLATING THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE?

CAN OUTSIDE SPEAKERS OR COMMUNITY LEADERS SPEAK AT MEETINGS?

The Equal Access Act of 1984 has three stipulations:

It is essential that religious freedoms be strongly supported, cherished and revered in America.

My reading of the world history of declined sociocultures informs me that those that loose their benevolent and pro-social religions are at risk for failure. Yes, these are only “correlated” events, but correlated events can be causal events.

Ask your self, have you seen evidence of this chain of events unfolding within America in its recent history?

Why should America turn its back on its former religious freedoms and run the risk of ruination?

Jettison America’s Electoral College?

1. Pure democracies are documented to self-destruct and be short lived.

Alexander Fraser Tytler > Quotes > Quotable Quote

2. Our Founding Fathers were very aware of the fragility of pure democracies and therefore created America’s Constitutional Republic in order to create checks and balance’s against tyranny among the powers of its components.

Our Founding Fathers also judged that in a Representative Republic (I.e., the Electoral College) would be less prone to out-come changing voter fraud.

3. The following two short videos explain the advantages of the Electoral College to America and they document the genius of our Founding Fathers. These, and similar other resources, should have been taught to all of our citizens during their educational experiences.

Please now see this second short video on this topic.

Finally, carefully evaluate the following article that is critical of America’s Electoral College and supports its change to a simple popular vote; a pure democracy.

4. Finally, it is for the reasons stated or displayed in items 1 thru 3 above, and the ones that now follow, that I urge America to resist all Leftist Democrat party Anti-Electoral College and Anti-American initiatives.

I also invite you to follow my blog. See the upper right box on this page.
