GOP Senator supports leftist judge nominee (OneNewsNow.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Some congressional Republicans are threatening a filibuster to block confirmation of a federal appeals court nominee because of his religious rulings. But they won't get the support of Indiana GOP Senator, Richard Lugar.

In 2005, Judge David Hamilton ruled that the Indiana House of Representatives could not open its sessions with prayers that mentioned Jesus Christ or used terms like "savior."

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions noted that Hamilton was willing, however, to allow a Muslim cleric to offer invocations that mention Allah.

Senator Hamilton is the very epitome of what it means to be a RINO (republican-in-name-only), or liberal-lite. He is one who seeks to destroy not only what we stand for in America, but all that we have accomplished in the last 222 years with a foundation upon our Judeo-Christian heritage. Of course, the last 46 years of those 222 years have not brought us very much good due to a Supreme Court that has taken less of a constitutional approach to defining law and by going more with the flow of pop culture...In other words, concocting "law."

In that case, we need a return to our original system of a limited government as the Framers of our Constitution intended. The only one who has access to our personal lives as to regulating what we can and cannot do in a moral sense is Almighty God, and no Supreme Court judge or otherwise has any authority to overstep this.

God bless, and thank you for reading!

Wise Saying Worth Heeding Part II

'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.' - Thomas Jefferson

Thanks for visiting Conservatives United!

What Is The Conservative Cause?

Just what is the Conservative Cause? This is a question most often asked by newcomers to the party. They wonder as to the specifics, because both conservatives and liberals have causes.

Most common hot-button issues on the table are abortion and marriage. When you come down to the differences of each parties stated beliefs on these two issues, its pretty clear that there is something wrong, wrong enough to create a divide in this country so great that it has split it right down the middle. Of course, the divide didn't start taking place until we knowingly, as a Nation, and as a majority God-fearing people, handed over our young people and their future to the Courts, the ACLU and atheists in 1963, and from that time forward test scores have declined, violent crimes have risen, abortion and S.T.D's have risen, and so now we have a disobedient nation.

Is there any possibility of reconciling the two sides (Conservative and Liberal) differences?

I am afraid to say that that is not a possibility at this time. Maybe, possibly in the future. I don't know what the future holds. Only God knows that, and if He decides that the many differences and brokenness in our nation be mended then that is my prayer.

The primary reason that the two sides cannot be reconciled is precisely not because there are two different sets of political belief, but because there are two opposing forces guiding each group's thinking. Take for example the two hot-button issues that I mentioned. What would lead one to come to believe that unborn children should be murdered in their mothers wombs? Conversely, on the opposite end of the spectrum, What would lead one to believe that children who've been conceived should receive life, love, affection and the care that is due them?

See?

Now, there will always be excuses made in order to justify the given mindset of the individual defending their beliefs. But here's where we mustn't make the mistake of being concentrated on that individuals opinion, which is a mistake that is all too often made. Don't do this mistake! I repeat DO NOT do this mistake! Because they are not the source of their thinking. Man is not the source of any particular philosophy, opinion, or beliefs held. There is a spiritual power behind each individuals particular beliefs. Each individual will be on one side or the other. Sometimes you will meet someone who is split in their beliefs, because, on the one hand, they are trying to listen to what the bad, or man is telling them and they want to follow this naturally occurring disobedient nature that is inherent to them through the Adamic nature, and on the other hand, God is still dealing with their heart to try and keep them in His will. Provided that they will reject the evil that is in their heart.

One thing to remember when it comes to opposing opinions as it relates to political matters, is that, liberals have had control of this nation getting close to the century mark whether people wish to believe it or not, and even though Conservatives controlled Congress and the Presidency nearly twenty years. All of that time, liberals have had control of this country, through all of those Conservative majorities and Presidencies Liberals have controlled America. That's not something to be proud about, if you ask me! But let me just say this, a majority of the liberals long before 1963 were not the same majority that they are today. Many, many years before 1963, let's say 1780-90, go back 180 years or so, or even further from that date, and you will find a consensus among Congressional people who believed in practically the same manner as those Conservatives who represent us today.

There are a number of reasons that Liberals veered off into negative territory, but a hand full and one primary reason can explain the biggest part of the problem. One of the first things that happened where we went wrong was in 1800 when the government abandoned the Tenth Amendment (The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people) and placed more power into the hands of the Federal judiciary. This led to despotic judges ruling from the bench on the basis of mere ideology, or selfish intent than from a basis in truth and authority. In other words, they were and continue to rule with authority that doesn't belong to them. That's one of the more major disasters that have taken place, and that remains with us today.

The truly disastrous mistake for America was when the people stopped seeing a need to defend God's Word against the lies of atheist communists, and it is immaterial as to what particular date it occurred. It was a mistake, and one that should never have happened. Allowing organizations like the ACLU to become national and bring atheistic nationalism to our nation gaining a foothold into policy making is another mistake. But above all, the lack of defending God's Word has been the tragedy on the part of the American people.

So, what do we mean when we say, the Conservative Cause?

Well, to put it in simple terms, the Conservative Cause is about defending and giving freedom, and recognizing that the government is not only limited in their authority because of the Constitution (basically the Tenth Amendment) but by Almighty God. And that goes on an individual basis for everyone, everyone is limited in their abilities to choose leaders if they wish to remain a free and prosperous citizenry, realizing that their sustenance and Providence is from Almighty God Above, not from the mortal-mind-and-flesh of man.

Conservatives believe in low taxes, so that individuals can provide for their families needs, and give God what is due Him in the tithing of our ten percent. When the goverment takes more than ten percent of our income (which came about through the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, and which gives the government unlimited taxing authority, and thus, not respecting the income of individuals), they are officially setting Caesar (themselves) up as God. And that's not the way it goes, my friends!

That's one of the primary ways you can find out how someone who identifies as an "Independent" believes, by carefully listening to, or reading what they have to say about income taxes. Most of the time, if they are in favor of a federal income tax, they are in favor of redistribution of that wealth to people and programs that do not pay any taxes and do not benefit the work ethic, or create jobs. The longer this continues the larger and more power the government becomes, because you have increasingly less individuals who are responsible for their upkeep and so on, they are, or have become dependent upon the government for their every need. You see, communism, when all power is vested into the State, does not benefit any citizen, only the elite, who has control of the citizenry benefits, because they can manipulate and render powerless those under their feet to lower class status. Depriving the proletariat of the necessites of life, and thus, becoming slaves. Even worse, look what happened to those under Stalin, or Hitler, or Mussolini, and host of others. There is an astonishing amount of information to the leisure of the reader out there that one can use to their benefit in order to inform themselves and arm themselves with the necessary knowledge to make wise decisions when it comes time to vote - this goes for a number of different areas and levels. On the local/town, State, and Federal levels - mainly on the Federal level though. Those are the folks that represent us as individual States. The danger being when we place too much trust in the Federal government when not first coming to a realization of who is over the Federal government. In regards to that, here is what must be realized before all else is considered...

The same God that is over us as the citizenry, the voters, whichever we want to call ourselves, simply however, we are humanity with a Creator, is the same God over the federal government. So any decision we make must be according to God's Word, not as dictated by the State, but under our own free-choice, and the government must defend likewise, the same.

So, the Conservative Cause should go as follows...

1. God is all Sovereign

2. Man's authority is delegated to him by God.

3. A return to, and defense of God's Word.

4. Choose leaders that are God-fearing and recognize His Supreme Sovereignty.

5. Educate others on the need for quality in leadership and limited authority at the Federal level.

6. Emphasis the dangers of atheism in our public schools, and what it has done to create disorder and chaos in our society and will ultimately lead to anarchy if not exposed and disposed.

7. The need for lower taxes.

8. Less welfare programs.

9. Less spending.

10. All education should be under the sole governance of the States, making it a private individual, parental choice, and not the Federal government's. So we can get it out of the hands of atheists.

11. Strip organizations like the ACLU of their funding.

12. Keep healthcare as a private industry. Not a government bureaucracy.

13. Bring home the bacon! Yes, let's start incentivizing the work ethic, ladies and gentlemen! Let's raise people up, instead of keeping them in the government's welfare slums.

God bless!

Hitler Jugend and Obama Jugend

History, which I am pretty much illiterate on, as I am on most subects. My education went in one ear and out the other...I just didn't have the patience to sit and study, combined with my very timid nature in social settings; making it very difficult for me to learn, but I made it to gain a high school diploma. It is a miracle that I am sitting her typing this today.

Anyhow, I wonder how many world history books in today's era of education inform students about Hitler's despotic history of indoctrinating youth? I've been doing some research and I came across this interesting piece of information - Hitler Youth, or HitlerJugend for German speak. Hitler Youth was a form of education implemented by Hitler himself, training young children to become Nazis...in many instances, it was "education" more in the line of indoctrination, training children to hate those that Hitler hated, which, for the most part, were the Jews.

I also wonder how many people in America today understand that President-elect Obama's policy of education is similar in nature? While it may not be exactly the same as Hitler's education policy, I firmly believe that we, as America, are headed a step closer to the same thing of that day, in Obama's policy of education. It's not that difficult to fully understand the reality of this when you take a look at Obama's intentions. For instance, he is opposed to school vouchers, which means he is opposed to school choice, and if he is opposed to school vouchers, then I suspect he is against private schools and homeschooling - He wants the public school system to reign supreme, which is used as a strong-arm for the Atheist/Communists to indoctrinate and coerce children to accept the atheist agenda, which the students will later use to harbor hatred in their hearts for Christians.

While this may not seem to be a big problem - be warned, it is a very large problem, as more children attend public education than do private and home-schoolers. How does it become such a big problem? Well, if you decipher it, with there being a larger percentage of children attending public education, this translates into a larger number of people favoring the destructive forces of atheism when they go vote, and this election was a prime example as those who are freedom-loving individuals lost this election, not to mention all true Christians lost this election. Whereas, this election would have turned out differently if Christians would have defended education against the ACLU.

So, the future of America depends on how much effort the Christian people put into stopping the Communist indoctrination in our public system of "education".

Good Advice

Catching Wild Pigs

A chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students
in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one
young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if
his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told
him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting
communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his
country's government and install a new communist government.

In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange
question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The
young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable
place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin
to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every
day,you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you
put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat
again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a
gate in The last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to
come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the
whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and
around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the
free corn They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the
woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees
happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps
spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental
income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy
subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our
freedoms - just a little at a time.

One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also,
a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do
it yourself.

Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a
problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send
this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way
of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the
gate slams shut!

In this 'very important' election year, listen closely to what the
candidates are promising you -

Just maybe you will be able to tell who is about to slam the gate on
America .

'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough
to take away everything you have.' - Thomas Jefferson

I had received this in an email, and it sums up pretty well what is at stake in this year's election...So, take your pick: Success and prosperity, or, complete government dependence and eventual collapse?

Some Very Good Reading...

I had received this book about the first week of April and I've been reading it in my spare time...usually during the evenings. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in the truth about the sincerety of our Founding Fathers, as they based everything they done through faith in the Creator. In addition, it shows just how different our times are compared to those days, the contrast is as night and day....Of course, they lived in the light during those days, whereas, most people are living in darkness these days. People really need the Lord.

At any rate, it's a wonderful book, I encourage you to purchase it if you haven't already, you can find it here

Well, I guess it's back to some more reading!

See you next time!

Secular America Today; Compared To Our Christian Past

Christian Nation vs. Secularist Nation.

The most deplorable aspect of this assault of the secular theory of civil government on our Christian institutions, however, is the fact that so many professing Christians have been led to join the ranks of the assailants. It seems almost incredible that men who accept the moral laws of the Christian religion, and who desire to honor Christ as King, can so far ignore our history as a nation founded on Christian truth, and be so blind to the teachings of sound political science, and the inevitable logic of secularism, as to strike hands with the aggressive movement that cannot rest until it accomplishes the utter de-Christianization of our institutions.

What happened?

It is true that government cannot teach morality or the merits of Christianity, the problem being - without a sound belief in the doctrine and teachings of the Bible, government has no place to rest upon for its foundation, in other words, government without Biblical laws is weak government; thereby, creating room for division. It is impossible to govern without Christianity, because it is Christianity from which the law was derived...The reason for this, is because there were some 2,000 years of Biblical laws before the Founders backing there judgment holding government together, and they knew that if that's what got them to where they were, then it is a must that they follow the same path, lest they be destroyed before they ever even made a start for America. One way, the best way we can look at it, is through the words of some of the very first Founding documents...

Some call him the "Father" of our Nation, George Washington ... He can be accredited for more than just our first President though...more to the point, he knew that unless there was a strong connection between government and God's Word, there was no way we could stand, as well as Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, just to name a few..and again, this proves that we were founded on Christianity, because all of the Founders, not just a few, but all of them, knew there was a power source much greater than themselves, and that the only way government could survive was through a dedication to that, and one Supreme Court ruling is indeniable truth of these historical facts...

It is more than just interesting to note that whenever the founding fathers wrote about "religion", they almost always were referring to "Christianity". Nearly a hundred years later, in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Church of the Holy Trinity vs. U.S.(1892) cited 87 historical precedents in its conclusion that, "Our laws and institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise. In this sense and to this extent, our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." (italics mine) Although we hear much today about "the separation of church and state" , you will not find that phrase or that intent in the U.S. constitution. In fact, in an 1811 U.S. Supreme Court case (People vs.Ruggles) the court declared against a man for profaning Jesus Christ and the Bible, ruling that "whatever strikes at the root of Christianity tends manifestly to the dissolution of civil government.

Did you take notice what the Judge said there, Our Laws and institutions ... must be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise, because anything that would sever the connection between government and Christianity would be disasterous, because it would lead to mass moral degeneration...mor aptly termed - 'Chaos.'

Ben Franklin ... Once, when breakdown in the constitutional debates seemed imminent, he cooled the passions and restored the perspective of the delegates: 'Our different sentiments on almost every question,' he said, '...is methinks a meloncholy proof of the imperfection of human understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political sidom, since we have been running about in search of it...I have lived,sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice,is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assurde, Sir, in the sacrted writings, that 'except the Lord building the house, they labour in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance despair of establishing governments by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war, and conquest. ' I therefore beg leave to move-- that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business...' "

To this day, every morning Congress has prayer before they take session. Above the Chief Justice's chair, hangs a copy of the Ten Commandments.

On to John Adams...

February 22, 1756, puts it in perspective. "Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law-book, and every member would be obliged, in conscience, to temperence and frugality and industry; to justice and kindness and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love and reverence towards Almighty God. In this commonwealth, no man would impair his healht by gluttony, drunkenness, or lust; no man would sacrifice his most precious time to cards or any other trifling and mean amusement; no man would steal, or lie, in any way defraud his neigbor, but would live in peace and good will with all men; no man would blaspheme hi Maker or profane hi worship; but a rational and manly, a sincere and unafected piety and devotion would reign in all hearts. What a utopia; what a paradise would this region be!

Our Nation has to take a step back now, and see where they messed up in their thinking, When was it? Well, according to my age, it would be waaay back, as early as 1920 at the Founding of the ACLU, a Socialist organization whose main purpose is to abolish Christianity from the public square.
Christian Freedom has steadily declined since that day in 1920 to the present day. The ACLU has conived and sought every avenue at their disposal in which to undermine and thwart Christianity's influence on society, and one of their main strong points is through our Supreme Courts as an easy shot in their pursuits... such as in the Cross on the beach in Virginia case(PDF files).

Political activism has been an even worse assault on our Christian heritage by the ACLU, as they lobby for politicians running for office who suit their anti-Christian, hatemongering views, a live-wire for the destruction of America. Take for example Hillary R. Clinton, Barack H. Obama, Ted Kennedy, Jack (John) Murtha, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, Robert C. Byrd, Barbara Boxer, Charles (Chuck) Schumer, John D. Rockefeller .... All advocates for the ACLU lawyers who seek to banish Christianity by way of law.

So, in actuality, it is the ACLU which is anti-government, simply because they are anti-Christian, anyone who is against Christianity is against government, against America. Just as the founder of the ACLU's own words, I am for Socialism, I am against America. And those were his own words. The ACLU has taken their position against America through their interpretation of "Seperation of Church and State." How? By using the State to do the very thing that the First Amendment strictly forbids, which says in the first half of the first amendment - or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... And what is the State doing whenever they demand by the State that we remove symbols and demand that we stop preaching to the lost? They are violating our First amendment rights when they file lawsuits saying that "we cannot" erect crosses by the roadside ... and these lawsuits aren't even half the freedoms that the ACLU has stolen from us, and will continue to steal as long as Christians allow them too.

Wait! Maybe that's the problem ... Maybe it's because the majority of Americans as a whole could not care less about what the ACLU does, or how much freedom they take away ... You reckon that's it? Maybe the American people are moving away from the moral worth that the Bible has to keep America together. Maybe it's because America has accepted the lie of "tolerance" that the left advocates for.

Friends, my Christian brothers and sisters, we can't allow the ACLU to keep spreading their propaganda, and destroying America the way they're doing. We can't allow the ACLU and their cohorts the Liberal Left-wing in this country deceive people through their lie of tolerance and diversity, because tolerance for deviant lifestyles will only lead the State further depress freedom of speech. That is their primary goal, is to silence Christians, and then the State can do whatever they please, and the Sodomites can live however they want, abortions on demand. No law. Inescapable moral chaos!

Should freedom mean that people can do whatever they want without any restraint, without any responsibility to their fellow citizens....or even the government?

We have so-called "Christians" proclaiming the Divinity of Jesus as King, but yet, they don't want to serve Him, they don't want to proclaim the freedom that we have through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We go to Church to know the will of God for our lives, and to learn about what Jesus taught us we should do...we go to school to learn to read, write, do math, speak english, know history, do geometry, an assortment of different things we learn, the problem is, modern day skeptics or Secularists, by and large Atheists decided that the Founders were "wrong" and that after 500 years they've got it "right." The difference being, the Founders accomplished more through prayer, and a Bible class, than the Atheists will ever dream about doing, an Atheist, he can sit and spin the subject all day long, when the Founders already had the answer to their problems. You see, friends, Atheists will always have new answers, they'll never be consistent, and they'll never be right ... until ... they acknowledge the Divine Providence of Almighty God.

Closing

To Christian Conservatives: We need to speak out for the true freedom of our fellow Christians, or they're going to be taken away--The Scripture says in Proverbs 31:8 - Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Namely the little innocent children in the womb, and for each other.

God bless!

Very Good To Know ... LAUS DEO!

LAUS DEO.. A WONDERFUL BIT OF HISTORY..

I realize that some, if not all of you, know the information contained here, but it is good that we are all reminded of it on occasion.

One detail that is never mentioned is that in Washington , DC there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. With all the uproar about removing the ten commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not aware of this amazing historical information.

On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington , DC , are displayed two words: Laus Deo.

No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.


Once you know Laus Deo's history , you will want to share this with everyone you know. These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States of America .

Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.

So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say "Praise be to God!"

Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo. "Praise be to God!"

From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles l'Enfant .. a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north. The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.


A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was not, is not, in the Constitution. So, read on. How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.

Within the monument itself are 898 steps and 50 landings. As one climbs the steps and pauses at the landings the memorial stones share a message.

On the 12th Landing is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore ;
on the 20th is a memorial presented by some Chinese Christians;
on the 24th a presentation made by Sunday School children from New York and Philadelphia quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6. Praise be to God!

When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy "One Nation, Under God."

I am awed by Washington 's prayer for America Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!

"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Laus Deo!

It is hoped you will send this to every child you know; to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find offense, because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school. With that, be not ashamed, or afraid, but have pity on those who will never see this because someone failed to send it on.

Top Hezbollah Terrorist Leader Killed

One of the world's most wanted Terrorists, Imad Mughniyeh, was killed in a car bombing in Syria. He is know for the attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon, and brutal kidnappings of Westerners. The Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, and their top ally, Iran, blamed Israel on Wednesday for the assassination. Israel denied involvement, but officials made no effort to conceal their approval of his death.

What a blessing to the good people Israel this must have been. As they constantly have to worry about their begrudging neighbor, Palestine.

Mughniyeh was on the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists. The U.S. had previously offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction. He was also indicted in America for his role in planning the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner when a U.S. Navy driver was killed.

While Mughniyeh's death comes as a relief, his brutal past as a terrorist also comes as a grievous reminder of what we face in the overall future War on Terrorism. And is all the more reason we need a President who will see to it that the job of Security that America needs so desperately, is kept intact. It's not Obama, friends, don't fool yourself, because he's not willing to confront these issues that are most important to keep America safe.

Think about this over the next few months leading up to November.

What Does It Take To Be President...Or...(POTUS)?

Over the course of more than five-hundred years since our Nation's founding, Presidents have come and gone ... some have led honorably, and some, not so "honorably," according to what each person(s) ideals and standards were during the period of time, and under what President held power in their respective generations...and too, the particular circumstances that helped to guide their decision making as to who they wanted to lead the Nation at that particular time. For some it was Abraham Lincoln. Why Abraham Lincoln?

In 1858, at the close of the Illinois Republican convention, when he was nominated to oppose Stephen Douglas in the coming election for U.S. Senator, Abraham Linclon gave his famous speech - "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Lincoln strongly criticized Douglas for the role he played in the gains that the slave states had acheived since the Compromise in 1850. In particular - The Nabraska-Kansas Act - which was a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. These were territorial disputes, and for the advancing of the railroad, and also, on the debating of whether to continue slavery, which was a customary practice in that day, for a prolonged period of time...and, as we shall see, this is why Abraham Lincoln, not merely for his own personal gain in becoming Senator, but had the God-fearing honesty, decency and dignity, to step to the forefront, and lead us out of this sadistic debaucher three years later, when he took his oath of office in 1861, and with it, would come much heartache and tears - Th worst and bloodiest battle in all of American history - The Civil War. On March 4, 1861 - Abraham Lincoln gave his first inaugral speech, pleading with the South to remain with the Union, he did not want to take action militarily against the South for fear of pushing other states out of the Union. He sought to find middle ground. 18 months later, on September 22, 1862, The battle, the single most bloody day of the war, gave Lincoln the opportunity to make the greatest speech in all of American history - The Emancipation Proclamation which gave blessed freedom to slaves in all the states in rebellion. These are some of his words -

And, by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts of state are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.

What a wonderful day it must have been, for millions upon millions, with tears of despair, replaced with tears of hope and effervescent joy, overflowing.
What kind of President was Abraham Lincoln? With his re-elction, in his second inaugral address, he provides us with the answer to that question...here's a few paragraphs from that address-

American Slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now will to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope--fervently do we pray--that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth plied 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." With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

What kind of man was Lincoln? A God-fearing Christian man! One of the most common arguments you hear coming from modern Secular skeptics these days is that, Christianity and the bible "support" slavery. What does the bible say? Were they treated like slaves were in the 1800s? Leviticus gives us some incite...Leviticus 25:53 - He is to be treated as a man hired from year to year; you must see to it that his owner does not rule over him ruthlessly. Hmmmm...Let's see, they got paid, were given plenty to eat, a place to sleep, they went to church (as was required by God), so forth and so on. Doesn't sound to me like cruelty or mis-treatment, but of servants of their own free will, willing to work, so they could survive, Unike today, with government spending on special treatment and entitlement programs, which translates into tyranny by judges.

Abraham Lincoln provided us with perhaps, the perfect role model for all Presidents, for all time to come, because he stood for? For freedom, and he realized that all of man's rights are from God, and that any civil body politic enacting any civil law that went against what God's Law says, isn't law, is tyranny, and must be overthrown. That's why slavery was defeated, it was the free and civil, God-fearing men and women, like Abraham Lincoln who believed in, and stood for freedom, who defied all odds for the freedom of America.The same goes for today, in far distant lands, many people and walks of life have zero freedoms to the desires atheist Communists, Iran is one of them, whose leaders are radical extremist oppressing their people so longing for freedom...but through the bravery and trust in Almighty God, they will see their freedom some sweet day, and the chords of tyranny will be broken!

Can America maintain freedom? With another Presidential election fast approaching, we must make a new decision for the future, just like Abraham Lincoln did a hundred and forty-seven years ago to ensure our future!

Who can meet the standards of POTUS today?

Beginning Muslim Lineage

I'm sure many have pondered the question; since Christianity and Islam can be traced back together, where did each get their beginnings? Of which, I hope to shed a little light on.

When most hear of Christianity, they reference with The Holy Bible and Jesus Christ; Who came to redeem mankind froma world of sin; and the future torment that would surely follow had it not been for His Loving grace at the Cross of Calvary.

That's a touch of Christianity. Today, we're going to focus on Islam.

Anyone who has ever heard of Islam, you're probably familiar with a certain name, being that of Muhammad, the "prophet" of "Allah", and beginnings of the religion Islam.

Where does Muhammad trace back to?

Muhammad's line can be traced from the book of Genesis, as we shall find. Every Nation of people on this earth are descendants of Abraham's two sons, each born to a different mother. One to Hagar, a maidservant to Sarai later named Sarah, and they called Hagar's son, Ishmael. The other son, born to Abrahams wife Sarah, and they called Sarah's son, Isaac.

The account begins with Ishmael in Genesis 16 --

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The Lord has kept me from having children. Abram, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said. So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she know she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. Then Sarai siad to Abram, "You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me. "your servant is in your hands." Abram said, "Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her. The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to shur. And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?" "I am running away from my mistress Sarai." She answered. Then the angel of the Lord told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the Lord also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers. She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me." That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.

Ok, so this is the starting point for which the two lines of people had their beginnings. The first line beginning with Hagar. Now, if you noticed, in verse 12 of Genesis 16 God says that, "Ishmael will be against everyone and everyone against him, which means that the line of Ishmael's people will be warring people all their lives.

Why is this? God explains this and His plan. Further in chapter 17. When He delivers news to Abram now Abraham, that Sarai soon to be Sarah will bear a child.

Genesis 17:19-21

Then God said, "Yes, but but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for this descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you; I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. but my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.

As the account continues, Sarah becomes afraid and in disbleief at what God had revealed to her, due to her old age, so she laughed and He returned to her and questioned her and she lied, "I didnot laugh," but He said, "Yes, you did laugh."

So, Ishmael is born to Hagar. Isaac born to Sarah. And ... as God had told Hagar, her son Ishmael and his offspring would live in hostility toward everyone is later confirmed, 137 years later...at Ishmael's death.

Genesis 25:17-18

Altogether, Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. he breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people. His descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur. Near the border of Egypt, as yu go toward Egypt, as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.

And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.

And they still do to this day. There's your Muslim roots, friends. The lineage of Ishmael.

Why the two different lineages?
Why does the covenant fall on Isaac and not on Ishmael too?

The most likely reason - to give us exemplaries down through the generations as to how to live our lives according to what God's Word teaches through Isaac's lineage, and through Ishmael's line to show us the difference.

Despite the continuing war and rumors of war; it will continue to the end as it always has.

The difference is clear!

I'm going to continue to research this, so this will probably be one in a series of posts on this topic.

A work in progress.

So, be in prayer with me, as God will continue His blessings of wisdom, that we may better do His will.

God bless!

Update: Ok, I've just found out something new, and make a slight correction: Ishmael is considered 'offspring' of Abraham, instead of a son, since he was born through a sinful relationship. It is Isaac who is considered the only rightful heir which all Christians are the lineage of.
