Wise Saying Worth Heeding Part XIII: Pray for America

Ronald Reagan once said,

"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

No more perfect time could that be realized than right now, when our leaders are moving us ever further toward total dependence on the government and away from our reliance upon God our Creator for our needs.

So I ask you, won't you pray for America, that the people of this nation would never forget that we are 'One Nation Under God.' That is how the founders of this country envisioned it when they drafted and signed the Constitution of this Republic.

God bless you, and thank you for reading today!

Proof of America's Education Deficit...

And when I say "deficit," I mean learning the truth.

I recently noticed that my newest thread The Culture caught the eye of some clueless liberal, in which he felt compelled to respond...his response is as follows:

Excuse me...did not successive waves of immigrants land upon these shores with "differing cultures and lifestyles," specifically to escape the kind of repression in their land(s) of origin which Jeremiah now seems to espouse as the dictatorial, ideal societal structure? Survival of the first as opposed to survival of the fittest, eh? Let's stir that ol' Melting Pot, Jer. So long as it only has "American" cheese in it, apparently.

"RalphyFan," so he calls himself, makes the assumption that the very first settlers who came to America were of "differing backgrounds, differing cultures." In that case, I suggest that he remand such wording to his teachers, and tell them to get it right this time.

I would remind RalphyFan that immigrants from England to America in the 1500s-1600s, while they had differing work and work ethics, they had different tasks to perform, but in all of these different tasks, there was one and only one entity at work in their hearts and minds as they carried these duties and tasks out building the greatest nation on earth, and that was Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all of the Universe on display. From family government (which is actually where government starts), to Church (which is also self-governing), to Education, to Civil government (which is comprised of the Federal all the way down to the legislatures and town councils). Alright...in order for the three main institutions to remain strong and in their proper place, they must operate according to, and receive guidance from Scripture (the Bible), because they are man and human institutions, thus, they have delegated authority, because man cannot act independent of his Creator, and that's why I always make the case that there can be no "neutrality" when it comes to governing, no matter what institution(s) it or they may be, because we are dependent upon the independent, Autonomous and unlimited governing authority of God, our Creator.

Just to make that clear: You cannot govern without reliance upon Almighty God, because reason itself is governed by Him. Thus, without God, there is no reason, purpose or meaning in governing bodies, or life in general for that matter. It becomes chaos, which I will explain later on in more detail.

Ok, we shall proceed to the next...

He goes on to enumerate all the things he feels make up "culture." I'll spare you the gory details but just state, for the record, that there is very little therein that most of us would look upon as "cultural." He waxes lyrical on transportation, machines, tools, communications - all very utilitarian elements. Nothing at all about the things that supposedly make us "human." You know. Art. Music. Drama. Literature. For Jeremiah, "culture" is limited to expedience.

Perhaps our good "friend" RalphyFan needs to ask himself a most pertinent question. What gives art, music, drama, and literature their meaning? What, ultimately, is the driving force behind the things he's listed?

When we look at today's "artistry, musicals, dramas, and literature" we can see that, in all of it, to some degree or another, it has been touched by atheism. To better illustrate what I mean, I went several years ago to an art exhibition shop, the showcases for those who wish to sell their work and make a profit off it...and what I found was most interesting ... I looked as I entered the place, and there before me was three large size posters which had a mixture of paint that looked as if it has just been thrown or slung onto the paper, with a splat here, a splash here, and a streak there ... and I wonder ... what on earth? And you know, it took me several years to finally understand what was driving the minds behind such unartistic tapestry. I could tell right from the start, that what was being depicted by the minds of these paintings was a sense of meaninglessness. Which is what atheism really does, it creates in the minds and hearts of individuals who've indulged in every pleasure and then come away totally empty of any true meaning, in essence, devoid of a conscience, and therefore, they could not comprehend the purpose of their existence.

Perhaps RalphyFan would also like to take a look at the invention that is the camera, photography is supposed to be a form of "art" is it not? The camera is an amazing little tool, it's almost as if you can make time stand still...but it, as I explained, is like all things, it can be used for negative or positive, good or bad, right or wrong. For example, look at the pornography industry...I wonder how many families and lives that this practice has destroyed or ended? I don't think it would be an understatement to say, more than too many. How 'bout enough, let's say...to destroy America? Indeed! Hardly what we might call "art."

Oh, heavens forfend! How shall we preserve our pure selves from this scourge of Exposure To Other People's Ideas?

RalphyFan needs to understand that we are not "pure at heart," but that we are contaminated with the Adamic Nature (or Sin), but within each of us is our God-breathed spirit, or conscience as it were, that let's us know when what is right is right, and when what is wrong, is wrong...and we choose how we use this God-given gift. The problem being, then, is when we take no consideration for restraint with the parameters of right and wrong, and there are limits...and suffice it to say, there comes a point, when we no longer wish to operate within those limits that God will remove His calling, our conscience, to the wreckless abandon that we have chosen. Only those who trust in the One and Only Name of Jesus Christ, and studying His Word will escape this tragic fate. So we have to ask the question when dealing with other peoples ideas...Do they stack up to what the Word of God says? If they don't, then the Bible is very clear on this as well, that we are to have no part with them, as the result of being unequally yoked with them would be sheer chaos.

Except, er, no. I could expound on how many of the Founders were Deists rather than Christians in the Jeremian sense, and how insistent they were that no religious test be imposed for citizenship or public office...but he would hold his breath until he turned blue while I did so, and that would be counterproductive for us both.

It looks as though RalphyFan needs to go back and reread my post in its full context, instead of cherry-picking and going with what his left-wing atheist professors have told him, eh? Ah, "Counterproductive," he says ... well, I must agree. For he is a very inexperienced fellow in the fields of common sense and truth.
Find the truth and the truth will set you free, free indeed.

Jer then zeroes in on his targets: Herbert Marcuse, Margaret Sanger, and Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Marcuse, the enemy of capitalism (which of course Christ would have supported wholesale: might even have endorsed Madoff's scheme...); Sanger, persona non grata for advocating OBSCENITY! Oh, the horror; and of course O'Hair, giving prayers and Bible readings the boot from public schools which are not, after all, Sunday Schools. (Expletive) those uppity women speaking their minds!

Yes, indeed they spoke their minds...but now they tell a different story, and if only RalphyFan could listen to their story...he might have a different outlook on things. All three of them died lonely souls, and all because they chose to use their limited authority to satisfy themselves and their worldly pleasures, and it robbed them of the only gift they would ever have, eternal life. Pity!

OK, Jer. Apart from that being the longest run-on sentence ever memorialized on this Series Of Tubes...so many illogical leaps you hurdle, here, I can barely keep up. Tolerating multicultural points of view (which I would just observe, seems to work quite well up here in Godless Canada) apparently equates to Tolerating The Gay, to assuming that one faith has an historic right to promote itself without check, while all others are to just put up and shut up...

Take the scenario then, that RalphyFan puts forward for us...he says, "tolerating multicultural points of view works well in Canada," instead of using logic and facts, we see RalphyFan resorting to mere reaction, because he has an agenda, or desired outcome in mind, and what might this outcome be? If you look at it on eye level with the atheist himself, you can see very clearly that the answer is for that subversion to radical egalitarian philosophy that liberals use in the forefront to their ultimate goal of a communist society...we see this taking place in a variety of places that encompasses the globe, most notably here in the U.S., in Canada, and in Europe...and Europe has gone so far now that they're on their way out. But more to the point, where does each culture fall into the line of multiculturalist society? We have to remember that the pecking order is different under the governance of multiculturalist society...man ultimately becomes the centerpiece for all philosophying, governing and most all decision making in general, and dictates that all systems of thought or governing are "equal," but when we look deeper, just underneath the surface we see that this isn't true, those of us who are the most tolerant so to speak, are the ones who then become targets by the government and other agencies of earthly authority, object of ridicule, hate and a conceited effort to place man on a pedestal "higher than God." Just recently a young man in Toronto, Ontario-Canada had written an article for one of the magazines there...he faced prison time, and tremendous fines along the way. Is this the multiculturism of which RalphyFan seems to be so proud? Why, it is the very "put up and shut up" of which he speaks.

Are we seeing a pattern of self-imposed victimization here?

Actually, it is RalphyFan who is being victimized, yet he cannot see it because he is content living within that victimization, when he could have true freedom. Yet, he chooses to reject a God which he does not know, while fashioning his own god out of this small materialistic world.

From there, Jer goes on to quote chapter and verse for why he feels the need to incessantly prosyletize, and on the evils of idolatry. I'll skip the rant for the good bits: Our Educational Institutions have played the largest role in destroying this nation politically and philosophically, and who are the most vociferous proponents of multiculturalism as you can imagine, because it leads to the mixing up of cultures which leads to a polytheistic nation, which means "a belief in many gods," forcing the idea that all cultures are "equal" to each other, when in Wester Culture we know that not all cultures are ethically equal.

Well, I would contend that there is a right way and there is a wrong way to proselytize, and I would much rather proselytize for the One who has the Only ability to bring true peace and happiness, that being Jesus Christ Our Lord. He is, in essence, the true and Living water, and that Well never goes dry or stagnates. In the physical part, we always wind up thirsty again, because it is just temporary, and we have to drink often in order to maintain our equilibrium, which helps to supply oxygen to the blood, always the joints to move more easily, carries waste out of our system. It's the same way with our spiritual life, we must soak up the Word daily in order to help maintain purity of mind and heart as the Word helps to remind us of our true purpose in life, to be, as near as possible, like Jesus Christ.

Dear me, that we should be a "polytheistic nation." Oh, wait! We already are! Hate to break it to you, Jer, but I went though K-12 with Jewish kids. Yeah. They took off Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. I bet you had a similar experience. Were you as outraged then as you are, now, online? Did their devotion to Yahweh over your Jesus (expletive) you off so much at the time? Noooo, I wonder if your ire isn't reserved for all that you perceive as totally "other" than your own beliefs. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, etc. If it doesn't touch upon Israel, it doesn't belong in "Wester" [sic.] culture.

Notice then the particular faith that RalphyFan wishes to level the bulk of his critique against...yep, you guessed it, none other than an atheist would, at Jesus and His followers. Why? It is for the fact that they recognizes the truth of Jesus' message, and they can't stand that with all passion. Suffice it to say, RalphFan goes off onto a hysterical rant about how he thinks I view other religions. It's evident that he has found pleasure in the material world of which he builds his worldview, yet he is empty inwardly. Devoid of a conscience. I don't know, maybe it's a waste of time to debate such farcical ramblings, but clearly, RalphyFan is a good example of dire situation that our world and especially our own world is in.

At the end of the day, Jer, you are one arrogant (expletive). Because you have the gall to try to dictate to others how they should live their lives according to your preferred beliefs. And, furthermore, to shunt the blame onto institutions that strive to be faith-blind, and deliver all kids a decent education rather than the Bible-thumping indoctrination you apparently would prefer.

You can sense the pain, can't you? Derelict, and without hope, he lashes out the only way a poor soul know how to spew hate and vitriol. However, he raises an interesting point ... he says "faith-blind," I'd say it's one thing to be faith-blind, but then it's quite another to be forced by the government to act as though you were "faith-blind." And in that, he is trying to defend the indefensible, trying to short-cut an All-Powerful Creator who deserves all praise and glory and honor.

I think it would be better to teach children in the admonition of the Scripture than it would be to lead them down a path like the one that the newest member of the Board of Education, Kevin Jennings wants them to go...as to promote these very immoral lifestyles that Kevin Jennings supports would lead to demonic forces overtaking the families of the children who are in the public schools, leading them into further into a life that would end their precious lives short of the mark to a sexually transmitted disease. So, it's false pretense to assume that our government run institutions of learning are delivering a "decent" education to children, and a very phony concept of what education is truly about.

Well, all for now. I may come back tomorrow and add or change some things. In the meantime, perhaps you would like to pay RalphFan a visit and let him now how you feel about some of his commentary on the subject at hand. I'm sure he would be glad to hear some of the noise from liberals, but equally the concern of those who do not share his views. You can find him here

Serfdom

From the POTUS, to Congress to the last links in our society, we have no moral guidance, hence everything is open to "Fed interpretation" of what is right for us. It's no longer about community standards or values, it's about "Politically Correct", "collectives" and what someone else believes we need.

We could have done much to prevent this day by just simply protecting school prayer and Bible reading in our schools, and maintaining that oft-quoted phrase from Scripture...Matthew 7:12 - "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

Too late, too late...

We've lost our country as we knew it and it's been a long time coming. Obama and his band of merry communists, radical anti-Americanism and Capitalist destroyers, are merely the final "irresistible force" for our final road...the road to serfdom.

God bless and protect all, as we watch our country crumble before our eyes!

Experience - It Qualifies!

This is now down to the wire on what it takes to be Commander in Chief, and likewise, co-Commander in Chief (Vice-President). Whichever candidate has the most experience is the candidate that is better qualified to lead. So, all in all, experience is the top priority when it comes to becoming a leader. With experience, however, comes the need to understanding the needs of the people ... one can have experience, but are the goals in mind what "works best", so to speak, and past proposals outlined in the candidates public forum will prove to us the outcome of their agenda and how well it benefited the people, or how it may have restricted or hurt the people, in essence.

So, here we are, Democrats and Republicans have voiced their opinions on who they've confirmed to secure the future of this great Nation. And the contenders are ...

On the Democratic side - Barack Obama(D) for President/Joe Biden(D) for Vice President
On the Republican side - John McCain(R) for President/Sarah Palin(R) for Vice President

Which one of these two camps is more qualified to lead?

Well, for arguments sake, let's put it this way ... Which of these two camps is going to use government intervention on the two basic issues facing our country, and how effective their past history in dealing with state/government policies that they've dealt with economically and socially.

We'll start with Barack Obama's history as a Senator. How long has he been a Senator? January 4, 2005 - Present. 3 years, and based on his voting record, he is recognized as the most liberal Democrat in the Senate at present. What makes him the most liberal? Well, if you know what the most liberal, which would is more well known as the extreme left-wing of the Democratic party means, you understand that government intervention to control peoples lives economically has the greatest impact on a wide scale basis, and more often than not, it is a negative impact by tax and spend, and the reason this has a negative impact, is because those who are working to pay and make a living for their families are the ones with a steady above average pay because many people depend on them and their services to sustain them, sort of a hand-in-hand thing, you might say, but these very people, that working hard to supply for their families are who the extreme left-wing look to when they want to help those whom they think are "worthy" of their help monetarily, and they have a list in which are government held programs designed and used to raise or lower the deductible on your income, but in this case, with the liberal Democrat economic policies it is usually raised to finance the programs they create for the purpose of redistributing the income you pay in to the government system. Overall, reducing the amount saved in case of a national emergency/crisis, but secondly, and most importantly of all, it hurts the people who make this country work, the people who work...to make it work, because instead of evenly distributing wealth throughout (unlike the Reaganomics style trickle down policies), it is all feeding unnecessary programs that aren't helping anybody except those who squander it for political power and greed and those who do not wish to make a living for themselves, in other words, it feeds corruption and discord among the masses, as all are bound by one (the government) to work and slave and feed from for their purposes. Here, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are alike in their want for more taxation which does not represent the views of the majority. This, my friends, is what we call Socialism, and it puts our state of existence in great danger, because it puts too much power into the hands of the government. It is authoritarianism, just as Hitler believed in putting everbody on a fixed income basis.

Speaking of discord, it is in the social/moral policies that our nation consists and rests upon, and it is in this area that the extreme left-wing of the Democratic party, chooses, deliberately and knowingly, to divorce themselves from reality (much the same as they do on economic policies), ignoring a 250 year old American foundation, guided by one book. Do you know what book that is? The Holy Bible. As far as the the moral area is concerned, there are two issues that are affecting our country in a profound way - Life and sexuality, which correspond into the two injustices that the extreme left-wing is trying to impose through the highest court that are inflicting great damage to our 'traditional' culture as a whole. What are they? Abortion and homosexuality. Now, regardless of what the stakes are, which are high, to say the least, if we are to keep our nation around much longer, how they've gained ground, as was mentioned, is through the Supreme Court, who interprets and changes the Constitution to serve their own purposes. What the Founders made the Constitution to be permanent law at it's completion served a people well, and was adequate to supply their needs, and it was grounded on the Bible, the Written Word of God. If the Founders were to come back right now, the would be wondering at the sight of such moral chaos and turmoil, "Where on earth is our Constitution???", "Why aren't the people adhering to it??" Yes, If only they (Our Founders) could see the injustice that the Democratic party has wrought on our blessed land! They would find classrooms filled with students learning how to perform sexual acts by their teachers, instead of God's Word. Completely ruining them, alienating them from their hope, the hope of this nation. They would find doctors performing an act of murder, taking little children from their mothers womb, crushing their little heads with a pair of steel forceps, and outside, a raging furnace their fragile little bodies are disposed of! God, help these folks, for they are in need of Your touch to their severely depraved mind and spirit!

To take the extreme left-wing ideology a bit further concerning the moral/social structure, the one vital area key to the family unit, is the marriage unit. Every Democratic Senator has taken the extreme left-wing libral ideology that marriage "should" be "re-defined" to include the false and radical autonomy of same-sex marriage.

Well, there you have the three main things affecting our nation morally and economically as a result of the Democratic side of the issues. Let us now take a look at the Republican/Conservative side of the issues, and how they may affectively implemented.

How do Sen. McCain and Sarah Palin stack up in the spectacle? As you will soon see, it is a whole lot simpler as those of us who know the system can testify to the overall conjectures that come out of the Democratic side, in contrast, their is no comparison, as the Conservative position or philosophy will put us on the road to true hope.

As far as experience is concerned, and as I noted way back at the beginning of the year when Hillary was still in the race, and is the same question that I will pose before you now - Choose between Hillary and Barack, who would you prefer to get the nomination? Hillary, who's been through the political process, or Barack, who has had little or no experience in the realm of dealing with policy making? It's a real simple question, and regardless of the fact that both are one and the same on the same destructive path in total rejection of reality; one has been around a while, has a few tricks up their sleeve and knows the political process well, and as for the other one...they don't and can't, until they've been through the process through and through. The same holds true for this election between the opposing contenders. So, I'm going to ask the question like this...

You have John McCain, who's been in it for 27 years, he has the right policies in mind for the American people militarily, economically, and most of all morally. Whereas, Barack Obama has had only 3 years of experience has voted very little and for the most part wasn't present during the creation of law, during most of his career as a Senator, if you can call him one (lol), yet, he holds this extreme left-wing ideology of socialism, and still lead with no experience .... Really?

So, who is it going to be? McCain with years of experience and a proven record, or Barack Obama who has no experience and a proven record of socialism by a few votes?

Conservative economics tell us that taxes should be lowered, and programs that waste your money should be ended, therefore, putting more money back into the hands that created it, and less into the pockets of those who would spend it otherwise, carelessly, and could go to programs already in existence that are necessary to the upbringing of children, teacher initiatives, and vouchers, an integral part of our future, so they can be prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.

On foreign policy, John McCain would lead us to necessary victories against our enemies abroad, no doubt, he understands the challenges we face in the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, as he withstood and watched from enemy battle lines watching innocent men, women, and children being slain for naught. Even as he, himself, endured the enemies brutal tactics of torture for 5 long years. Tell me this doesn't take a man with a true sense of courage...The safety of the American people will be top priorty under John McCain's plan. Make no mistake about it, Mr. McCain is who we define to be a true American and Patriot, to sacrifice all for all, and then return to continue sacrificing his time and talents to serving the people as a Senator. I say, Thank You! Mr. McCain and hopefully many more to come after November 4th. We must win!

Socially and morally, Mr. McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin are strong defenders of life in the womb, and for ending/over-turning Harry Blackmun's dark decision made in 1973, Roe v. Wade. Understanding fully that life begins at the moment of conception.

Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin will appoint judges who will uphold the standards set by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution, that marriage is defined between One man and One woman for life.

There you have it. The stakes are high, and too much is to lose to squander it all. So, to all, and for the sake of all, I beg of you ... Please do not waste this great opportunity to preserve what is left of our nation, America. The price that we would pay is unimaginable for making the mistake of voting into office a young, inexperienced, Socialist minded Democrat like Barack Obama into office.

Please vote for John McCain Nov. 4th. Do you level best to help others understand the dire necessity of voting this year, which, I believe is the most important in our Nation as a history with Terrorism on the horizon, and our schools being infiltrated with the destructive poison that is Darwinism.

God bless you all, and God bless America!

The Christian's Obligation

As a recent survey points out, Americans are divided evenly on the issue of homosexuality, and this is a sign that the acceptance of immorality in our society is becoming or has already become first place in peoples' hearts and minds. Why? You ask...For many reasons, attributed to the same group of ideologues called Liberal Democrats, just call them plainly - 'Democrats', because the whole of the Democrat party has become a whole sort of nastiness. The problem in a nutshell, is the Democrats have a most insane set of opinions, opinions that are anti-America and anti-Christian and anti-Family, of course, anti-Christian and anti-Family comprises most of their agenda. So, how did they create this mess? They took God and shoved Him out of our schools, good Christian people who taught good, wholesome values to our children...pushed out. "We hate ya. We don't want ya!" and you can see what has happened, can't you? The hate has pervaded the minds of our children...the children then grow up thinking they have an easy road ahead, and they say, "There's nothing to worry about, I can always depend on the government", and the government does, they hand them all the money they need to murder their little babies, to fund for diseases that they've gotten from being taught they can have sex any time they want too...the government's going to have to stop this funding and tell the people, say, "Hey, if you don't want to get a disease, or don't want to have a children, then don't have sex until you're ready to be committed to your husband or wife...but they won't, they'll just keep handing them the free dough, and the diseases will continue to spread, and babies will continue to be murdered on a daily basis.... and ...generation afer generation, America becomes weaker, and with scornful eyes other countries watch as America comes to Her demise. You know, America once looked to God, and peace filled the land with a harmony of working families going about their everyday happy lives...rejoicing and praising God for everything they had. Now, people just can't seem to get enough fame, money, riches, sex and material pleasure....and they don't want God anymore. Well, I'll tell you, God doesn't like what He sees, and He may get angry at America, unless people wake up! If you think these tornadoes and wildfires and earthquakes are bad...then you haven't seen anything compared to God's Awesome Mighty hand of power come to force!

We can avoid God's anger, if we'll only seek Him and ask Him for guidance.

Many churches (Church pastors, Youth leaders, Counsellors, and Congregations) are partly to blame as well, because too many church leaders are accepting the homosexual lifestyle as "normal" or "ok", and you have half the congregation for homosexuality and half against homosexuality.....this severely weakens the message and influence of the church, and it severely weakens society too. And that's what I mean, you see, that's why America is failing, because too many church leaders won't step to the plate with the courage to challenge their members morally.......In order to make a difference, you must be ROCK solid on what God's Word says......When God's Word says it's Wrong.....It's WRONG! And homosexuality is deathly WRONG!! And there's no earthly man that can change what God's Word says. PERIOD!

So, to all you churches out there, listen up....America's future is dependent upon you, and all Christians, everywhere, as God's messengers to get the message out, and put our foot down about the damage that homosexuals and homosexuality are doing to America! If you love America, and you love God, you will challenge and warn them about these dangers!

God bless!
