Whatever happened to our beloved America? Part 1

Ted Cruz:

Republicans in Washington are Scared…Calls on The People to Help Defeat Obamacare


On Monday morning Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) pointed out the obvious about Republicans in Washington; they are scared of getting beat up by the Obama administration. Cruz’ words come at a time when Senate Republicans are blasting Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) proposal to defund Obamacare. So Senator Cruz, instead of retreating and simply blasting back at the Republicans, took to the Glenn Beck radio show and encouraged a grassroots effort to get behind Lee’s efforts and push elected officials to support the measure. “Liberty is never safer when politicians are terrified,”

An Apology (of Sorts)


The other day I became involved in an online exchange between a couple of Americans and an obvious supporter of Islam. It began with a picture I posted depicting a liberal hippy and a jihadist with their arms around each other while standing on top of a pile of dead bodies and the US flag. The liberal hippy holds a sign that says "Stop Fascist War on Terrorism," and the jihadist holds a rope attached to a burka-clad woman who is trying to reach out to a distant Statue of Liberty. Behind the two grinning men the world is burning.

A fellow posted below the picture "And shortly after, he cut his head off," and the Islamist apologist responded by downplaying the effect of terrorism on the world while accusing the US military of exterminating hundreds of thousands of people in the name of the 'war on terror'. The conversation continued as the Islamist cited reasons why Jihad was justified against the United States due to our brutal and savage invasion and interference in the affairs of Muslim countries. The exchange was lively to say the least, and in all fairness I have to commend all who participated for their steadfastness and dedication to their beliefs, even the Jihadist, although I wasn't drinking his Kool-Aid at all. If you like, you can read the entire debate here.

What really cranked my tractor was when the apologist justified the killing of civilians and other innocents on 9-11 by calling it 'blowback.' I responded by saying " 'Blowback' must be ok in Islam. Christians are told to turn the other cheek. Radical Christians kill abortion doctors. Radical Muslims are justified in killing infidels for a variety of reasons, not in the least being that infidels are merely not Muslim. 'Blowback' is justified in Islam because when you get down to the nuts and bolts, Islam is a violent religion. Yeah, we Americans have some pretty violent nut-jobs, but our religions and governments don't sanction stoning, decapitation, crucifixion and body dismemberment. Yeah, some of our states have the death penalty, but we almost always use that option only on those who do evil acts. Sharia law allows for death to those who oppose a man's honor. This isn't a matter of apples and oranges. It's a matter of fresh and rotten. God said "Vengeance is Mine," not "Vengeance is yours to do as you wish." With all due respect, Islam can stick 'blowback' where the moon don't shine. With all due respect."

I want to take this opportunity to apologize for saying 'Islam can stick blowback where the moon don't shine.' That was inappropriate and uncalled for, and violated about fourteen rules of debate and etiquette. I should have said 'RADICAL Islam can stick blowback where the moon don't shine.' I honestly do not have any ill will toward the average God-loving-daily-praying-five-pillars-following Muslim. I believe fervently that the majority of Muslims are not fully aware of the diabolical agenda of Jihadists, and do not understand the twisted logic these monsters have by following their interpretation of the Qur'an. Why do I believe this about the average Muslim? Because if they are anything like most Christians, they pick at the scriptures like chickens feed and attend services once a week more for socializing than sincere worship.

But this is where the similarities diverge. When lip-service Christians becomes devout, they begin a journey led by the Spirit of Christ which will transform them into Grace-worthy members of the body of Christ, praising and worshipping God while continuing to grow in understanding and love. When lip-service Muslims becomes devout, they begin to read more of the Qur'an and hadiths, including the darker side which condones violence against women, marriage to children, rape and sodomy, and forcing non-believers to convert or be killed. They begin to listen to the voices of purely evil radicalized Imams telling them it is their duty to kill as many non-believers as possible, and how wonderful paradise will be if they become a martyr in the process. They adopt an attitude of hatred, revenge and a total disregard for life.

I have Muslim friends. I also have Hindu, Buddhist and Atheist friends. I don't agree with their beliefs, I think they are as wrong as wrong can be. I believe that God assumed a human form in the name of Jesus and lived a sinless life and gave Himself up to be crucified as the ultimate sacrifice for all our sins, then rose from the dead three days later to defeat Satan and conquer death so that all who believe on Him should be cleansed by His blood and have eternal salvation. I believe Jesus when he said "I am the way, the truth, and the light; no one comes to the Father but through Me." I know that my redeemer lives. But I WILL NOT force others to my belief through threat of death. I WILL NOT slaughter those who don't follow my religion. I WILL NOT treat women like cattle. I WILL NOT condone murderous revenge against my enemy. I WILL NOT judge others, because then I'll be judged. I WILL love God with all my body, heart, mind and spirit, and love my neighbors as myself, even if they are Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim.


So while I apologize for my inappropriate comment, of which I am profoundly sorry, I remain steadfast in my belief that the justification for mass murder and terrorism because of 'blowback,' or revenge against military action done by the US military against agents of evil disguised as religion is decidedly WRONG. Personally, I think war stinks. I think most politicians and power hungry fanatics should be relocated to a deserted island. I think worshipping God should result in love for ALL my fellow beings. I think any religion that condones harming others should be moved to that same island. I think John Lennon was right when he said we should give peace a chance. I think God's Mercy and Grace abounds. I think we should get around to the business of loving one another and cut out all the hatred and divisiveness. I think it can happen. I think NOW is the best time for that to happen.

Bishops Urge Senate To Support The Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act Of 2013


WASHINGTON— Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty, and Bishop Denis J. Madden, auxiliary bishop of Baltimore and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, hailed the introduction of S. 1274 by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Roy Blunt and urged U.S. Senators to support passage of the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act of 2013. S. 1274 is similar to H.R. 592, which overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives on February 13, 2013.

In a July 29 letter, Archbishop Lori and Bishop Madden asked Senators to support the legislation, which would ensure the fair and equal treatment for houses of worship damaged in natural disasters by enabling them to seek aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The letter noted that S. 1274 "is consistent with Supreme Court jurisprudence, which recognizes the right of religious institutions to receive public financial aid in the context of a broad program administered on the basis of religion-neutral criteria."Archbishop Lori and Bishop Madden explained that houses of worship often play an "irreplaceable role in the recovery of a community" after a natural disaster.

"Discrimination that treats houses of worship as ineligible for federal assistance in the wake of a natural disaster, beyond being a legal violation, hurts the very communities most affected by the indiscriminate force of nature," said Archbishop Lori and Bishop Madden.

Is Obama Committing Treason?



I have been trying to remember a president that someone did not want to impeach. An effort was made to impeach Andrew Johnson but failed by one vote. Nixon resigned when he was informed that he would face impeachment for the Watergate scandal. Bill Clinton faced impeachment, but even Republicans did not want to vote for it, fearing the blowback and the prospect that Al Gore, his Vice President, would replace him.

Where Have All The Patriots Gone?




Our forefathers were men of principle. They were godly

men who believed in freedom above all else. In writing the Constitution, they enshrined in that document the sacred principle in which they believed. Among these principles, were the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order that these rights were maintained they understood that the country they were about to create should have a government with limited powers, a government that was fiscally responsible, and a government that believed in free markets. They believed in these things so deeply that they were willing to suffer anything, including death to make them a reality.

On Screaming


I'm sitting here this morning with a mountain within me of things to rail against; there is so much wrong with the world today that I literally don't know where to start. I want to scream at the US government for driving this country and the Constitution into complete and utter ruin. I want to scream at every last one of my fellow Americans, including myself, for giving the keys of our nation to all those morons in Washington DC. I want to scream at ourselves for not doing enough to save this, the greatest society since the dawn of mankind. I want to scream at all the hatred and killing and war and greed and evil that has enveloped the world like a wet towel, all in the name of religion and freedom and race and sexual orientation and pride and prejudice and fear and honor and all the other insane reasons to split us up from each other. I want to scream at all the good people who sit at home silently watching the news, knowing something has to be done but not doing it. I want to scream at all the outright lies and the half-truths and closed minds and open hands stretched out wanting things they feel entitled to. I want to scream for those who have no voice, for those who have screamed so much they've become hoarse, for the children of the world who are going to have a tougher life than we are now. I want to scream at the futility of screaming.

But screaming can only get me so far. I can scream until I'm blue in the face, and then I'll have a sore throat and a blue face. On Facebook today a Libertarian friend warned us all to 'gird our loins' to in the fight against the downfall of our nation, and another friend responded "No, Americans will roll over and do nothing, wide scale revolt (most likely necessarily armed) is now required in order to retore the U.S. constitution, however, there's simply too many sheeple and not enough common sense human beings left in the world, sorry, but the united states is over, we have too many sports fans . . . for anything to change." As I read those words I thought "He's probably right. It is too late. All I can do prepare for the worst and concentrate on caring for my own." But this is the type of attitude that will certainly bring my friend's prophesy true; this is the attitude that got us here to start with. So with what voice I have left in me, I bellow "NEVER GIVE UP!"

Matthew 7:12 gives us the words of Jesus saying "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." When you live this truth you are not giving up. Remember His words in Matthew 26:52: "He that lives by the sword will die by the sword." Take this to heart, not to judge others, but to remind yourself that what you put out is what you get back. Implement Christ's declaration of the two great commandments in Matthew 22:37-39: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." While you're in the book of Matthew, read chapters 5 through 7, or what is commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount. It contains guidelines for how to transform you life, how to ease the suffering of your troubled heart, how to make a change, how to not give up. Even if you are not a Christian, you will find the life, words and ministry of Jesus an excellent yardstick for being.

No, I can't go out today and change the mess those stinking politicians have made of our country. No, I can't go around shaking everyone by the shoulders and telling them to wake up and make a difference in their life. No, I can't repair the divisiveness that plagues society; I can't make haters stop hating. I can't end hunger and pain on the whole planet. No, I can't turn it all around and save the world. Not by myself. But I CAN try to live my life through Christ's example. I CAN share the Good News with those whose lives touch mine. I CAN transform my life from a screamer to a DO-er. I CAN let God's love flow through me, to use my unique talents for His will.


I can tell someone today that I love them. I can treat those who I interact with as I want them to treat me, and not expect them to reciprocate. I can calm a troubled heart when I come across it, even if it is my own. I can and I am and I will. This is the opposite of giving up. It is giving.

Report Card on American Education



During the 2011 legislative sessions, a number of blockbuster reforms were produced across a variety of education policy areas. That momentum continued in 2012 with major reforms impacting a variety of K-12 policy domains. In addition to major policy advances, a number of high-quality academic studies strongly supported the case for these crucial reforms. Importantly, with state education policy now beginning to accept a student-driven environment, it has freed education innovators to field-test stunningly novel digital learning techniques that have the potential to revolutionize learning not just in the United States, but around the world, say Matthew Ladner, the senior adviser of policy and research, and Dave Myslinski, the state policy director for Digital Learning Now!, at the Foundation for Excellence in Education.
