The Answer Is ALWAYS "Turn To God"

We have been living in a world increasingly chaotic, increasingly irresponsible, increasingly amoral, increasingly unlawful. We watch events unfold both within our country and our government, as well as in other countries, that we would never have thought possible 20 years ago. Countries around the globe, including our own, are facing dire consequences because of years of governmental intrusion, abuse and corruption.

We have seen our own government become increasingly tyrannical, increasingly fascist-like over the past two years. We witness illegal immigrants, and thus criminals, cross our border daily with no effective, no apparent, response. In fact the government wants to "legalize" these criminals. How is that possible in a Republic where the rule of law is paramount?

We witnessed yesterday a heinous act by a deranged individual, when he shot multiple persons including a nine year old girl, a Congresswoman and a Federal Judge. That act in itself, is despicable enough. But now we have media reports that even include Congresswoman Giffords' own father pointing fingers at the Tea Party.

The alleged shooter was not a member of the Tea Party. If you care to know the truth about him check this link.

But the point of this post is that regardless of how out of control our country is, or the world is, remember that God is always there to support us. So if you haven't, turn to Him. And remember that no person or circumstance can rob you of the presence of God. No one can take your belief from you. Only you have that power. You can choose to believe, or you can choose not to. Neither option can be proved in this world, other than by the acceptance (or not) of miracles.

I choose to believe. I have witnessed miracles in my own life, so I know God exists. That is comforting. And knowing that no matter how much "pain" in inflicted upon us in our lives, He is always there to support us. Many who are skeptical ask "if there is a God, why does he allow things like the Arizona shooting to occur?" And my answer is simple. Because there is also a satan. And while God is there to support us in all things, satan is there to tear us down just as often, and in as many ways, as possible. In our personal lives, in our government, in our world. And while God may not be able to prevent satan from acting, we have a choice in how we react to those things satan places in our paths. We can choose to stand with God and trust in Him, or we can turn away from God and try surviving on our own. The former allows God to work his plan to reward us at some point - in this world or the next. But the latter does not allow Him to work His plan, because we no longer have an open heart to Him.

We are living in trying times. Certainly more trying for some than for others, but historically, this period of world history will be discussed and studied by generations yet to come. And only if we turn to God, will that history turn out good. So join with me and stand with Him!

America: Democracy Or Republic? Or Worse?

These were forwarded to me from my friend Mike. I hope you enjoy them, and pass them on to everyone you know, especially all the younger people who may not know any of this... we are being transformed from a Republic into an Oligarchy!

If you think America is different today than it was when you were a kid, then take the time to to watch these videos. But, if you decide you don't have the time to watch these, when will you ever find the time to fight what has been lost, and what can be lost still? And remember, knowledge is power. Watch, perhaps you'll learn something you didn't already know...

And as you watch the fourth segment, ask yourself "are we on the road to becoming a fascist nation?"

This Should Get Pretty Interesting...

Issa, House GOP Preparing Major Investigations of Obama Administration - Newsmax, Tuesday, January 4, 2011
President Barack Obama and the Democrats will face a newly invigorated House Republican leadership this week with sweeping plans for congressional investigations into a wide range of issues.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who will become chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when the 112th Congress is sworn in Wednesday, told The Washington Post he plans to lead six major investigations in the first three months of the year. That will call for a grueling schedule, since congressional investigations often take months to bear fruit.

On Issa’s list:
• WikiLeaks' release of classified diplomatic cables

• Recalls at the Food and Drug Administration

• The role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the foreclosure crisis

• The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission's failure to identify the origins of the meltdown

• Alleged corruption in Afghanistan

Issa is sure to make waves, because he’ll have subpoena power to compel officials to appear before his committee. Among the administration officials he’ll be questioning soon is national security adviser Tom Donilon. Issa specifically wants to know whether the administration has a strategy to stop the dissemination of sensitive information on sites such asWikiLeaks.

"I've always been fond of the saying that when it comes to oversight and reform, the federal government does two things well: nothing and overreact," Issa told reporters Monday. "Too often, a problem is allowed to fester until it reaches a crisis point . . . and the American people are left asking the question: What went wrong and why?"
Issa also has asked business groups which Obama administration regulations to target, according to Politico. He sent a letter to 150-plus trade associations, private companies, and think tanks this week.

“As a trade organization comprised of members that must comply with the regulatory state, I ask for your assistance in identifying existing and proposed regulations that have negatively impacted job growth in your members’ industry,” the letter read. “Additionally, suggestions on reforming identified regulations and the rulemaking process would be appreciated.”

Other incoming Republican committee chairmen are planning investigations into the Justice Department's civil rights division, the radicalization of Muslims in the United States, homeland security grant money, and air cargo and port and chemical plant security, the Post reported.

The incoming chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King, said he plans to investigate the extent to which American Muslims are cooperating with law enforcement authorities in an effort to measure the radicalization of the U.S. Muslim community. The New York Republican also plans to probe homeland security issues.

"Different from Darrell Issa, I'm not expecting to find significant corruption in the departments," King told the Post. "To the extent there's disagreement, it will be philosophical disagreement and a question of leadership, whether or not the department is assertive enough."
Rep. Lamar Smith, head of the House Judiciary Committee, is planning investigations of the Justice Department, including allegations that the civil rights division is not enforcing voter rights laws fairly.

Since Democrats control the Senate, the White House, and federal agencies, Republicans can use House oversight hearings to slow down policies and practices they disapprove of.

"The ability to hold hearings is a tool to help shape public opinion, put pressure on the Senate and maybe allow you at the end of the day to get concessions from the administration," said former Republican congressman Vin Weber, a Washington lobbyist.

But, Weber added: "Speaker [John] Boehner is quietly insisting that the investigative process be focused on substantive matters and not become a political witch hunt."

Repealling Obamacare

Ok, so John Beohner says he's bringing this to the floor for a vote on January 12th. That's all well and good John, but don't be yanking our chain. If you're gonna get us in the game, make sure you're coaching to win!

Everyone is of the opinion that even if it gets past the house, which should be a no-brainer, it'll never get past the Senate. Oh, really?

Has everyone forgotten that there are 33-34 Senators up for re-election in 2012? And of that number, the majority are Democrats? Do you really think the American public will allow ANYONE who doesn't vote for repeal to be re-elected? I'm leaning on the side of "I DON'T THINK SO!"

So let's go folks, start calling your Senators today. Tell them you want them to vote in FAVOR of repeal. Let's put some pressure on these guys. We DO have the power, if we could only learn to use it effectively.

And so our comrade-in-chief will veto it. At least we will have the luxury of pointing out his apparent glee at twarting the will of the public (yet again) AND Congress! How will that play during the elections of 2012?

A Lot Of Us Are Already Here, And Still More Are Coming...

Stand With God, Stand For Liberty, Prepare To Fight For Both!

We Need Noble, Honorable, Visionary Actions From The 112th Congress

There is great anticipation and great expectation of the 112th Congress by the people of this great nation. But with that anticipation and expectation comes great responsibility. For on the shoulders of the 112th Congress will fall the task of proving to the American people that our system of government – a Republic supported by the foundation of the US Constitution – is indeed still viable.

With the growth of Federal Agencies and Departments, the increased dependency on “czars”, and the erosion of the powers of our Constitution over decades as the Federal Government has usurped power never authorized by our Constitution, your task may seem monumental. It will take great commitment, great energy, great wisdom, and great resolve to prove our governmental system still works, and the power does indeed rest with the individual states and/or the people – not the federal government.

The number one task before you is to immediately identify areas where quick spending reductions can be implemented. Then it will be incumbent upon the 112th Congress to tackle the three beasts that have been in the room for decades, beasts that should never have been created – Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare - as well as Obamacare. Those systems need to be reformed and/or repealed, and a system put in place to phase them out entirely over the shortest possible period of time.

Entitlement programs also need to be addressed, reformed, and reduced to minimal levels. They need to include incentives for individuals to abandon the program at the earliest opportunity, instead of the disincentives currently inherent in those systems and programs.

The people currently using those programs will welcome neither of those tasks, but we all know they are necessary if the country is to survive (and hopefully flourish again) long term.

Another area for review is the foreign aid currently given to other countries around the globe. Many of those countries are not our allies, and quite a few, while considered allies, rarely support our positions in the UN. Let’s eliminate aid to anyone who is not an ally of America, reduce aid to those who do not support our positions 75% of the time, and allow the people to give what aid they can/want individually instead of the government confiscating our money and redistributing it around the world. Let's see just how "liberal" our progressive brethren really are when they have to part with their own money.

Controlling spending will automatically influence the reduction of the Deficit. To further that goal, enact a Fair or Flat Tax system, eliminating hundreds of thousands of tax code regulations that few people understand, and which just helps to bloat the size of government and the scope of governmental authority. This will do more to stimulate the economy, short and long term, than any other single action could. It will bring stability to the corporate world and allow future growth decisions by companies to be made with certainty. So long-term planning will occur naturally.

These are just a few areas where we need immediate, decisive and perhaps drastic reform to strengthen America. I imagine there will be a fight within the Republican Party, as more conservative constitutionalists fight the established RINO's. And there will be a fight as well with the Democrats/Progressives, so I hope there is expansive honor, integrity and fortitude for the 112th to stand on the principles that created this great country.

Walk your path knowing that God is watching and will be there to support you. Trust in Him as our Founders did. I am praying for the entire 112th Congress, for we need good, noble, visionary actions from that body, and we are counting on you to lead us from the destructive path we’ve been on for the past 40 years. It is unfortunate that we have been sliding down a much steeper hill the past two years, and the climb back out of the quagmire in which we currently find ourselves will be steep.

Good luck, and God Bless!

"Shape Up And Start Acting Like An American."

This has been around for a while. And though I do not know this man, I am proud to call him Patriot, Hero, Friend to Liberty!

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out ! This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.



Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.  I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world," America is mean- spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle...

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

I Could Not Be More Disappointed With The 111th Congress, Even If I Wanted To

The American people demonstrated their disgust for the 111th Congress on November 2nd. The message we sent at the polls could not have been more clear. And yet, this tyrannical Congress has ignored the will of We the People, and continued working with contempt against us to forward their own big government/socialistic agenda, as if we had actually embraced and revered them in that election. Anyone in the 111th Congress who will not also be part of the 112th Congress, who voted during this lame-duck session, should be sent to jail. In my opinion, they have acted treasonously, and without the authority of the American people. No member of Congress who is voted out of office should have the power of a vote - ever. The people have already assessed their judgement and decision-making capabilities and found them to be lacking! And too much damage can occur, as we've witnessed these past few weeks.

So, how do we go about fixing the crap that's been passed? Write or call your new Senators and Representatives. Get them involved. We may not have much success with what's passed lately, but we can surely prevent it from happening again!

Stand With God, Stand For Liberty, Prepare To Fight For Both

EVERY Senator, And EVERY Congressman, Of The 111th Congress Should Be Ashamed!

They are ALL complicit in the destruction of this man. And they have ALL dishonored themselves! Who among them will be willing to say "we didn't honor our oath. We didn't ask for, nor require, concrete and definitive proof that Barack Obama was born in America." For had they done so, the question would have been answered long before this hero lost his career and his freedom.

Instead, this Congress, the 111th, and obama himself, have done everything possible to hide his official birth record from the American people. Now many people believe this is a non-issue, that surely he was born in America. Personally, I don't know one way or the other. But I do know this. If I were a man holding the career and freedom of another man in my hands, and had the where-with-all to prevent that persons demise, I would have the honor, the integrity, and the resolve to provide the means to that end. That little puke, obama, doesn't. How's that for a "commander-in-chief"? Pitiful example there mr. president. They never had much to begin with, but just how much respect do you think the military has for him now that he's destroyed one of their own?

Please keep Lt. Col. Lakin in your prayers! God Bless You Lt. Col. Lakin! Trust in Him, for perhaps He has a higher purpose for you...

The Problem Is Us (the government)... Tom Coburn, US Senator

Rotting from within. It's evident to many of us on the right; it may be evident to some on the left as well. But the right has the solution - the Constitution. Pure and simple. Easy. What's so hard to understand? The left's solution? More government programs that can not be controlled, more money thrown at the problem but not fixing it, more government control of our lives because we lost our ability for self-reliance. It's time for that solution to go the way of the circular file. It is demonstrably a failure. Let's burn it once and for all!

Islamolitics: Political Jihad In America

The political process in America has been hijacked by political jihadists. My opinion is based upon three facets of Islam and the Quran. They are all things you may not know about Islam, but which are also present in American politics. Why we have accepted them, and allowed them to flourish, is anyone's guess. But with the rise of the Tea Party Movement, it's now the opportune time to defend ourselves against Islamolitics. Here are the three things.

In Islam, there is a belief in Shari'a Law and Allah, there is no belief in God or God's laws. The same can be said for our government, particularly over the past 50 years. While America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and the "laws" of the 10 Commandments, we are no longer that nation. We have morphed from a country under the 'rule of law' to a country under the "rule of man'. How else can you justify murdering unborn children? How can you justify taking God out of our schools and public institutions? How can you justify the existence of social justice over equal justice for all? None of these can be found in "nature's law". Many laws these days are created because of a person's (or peoples) feelings - and not based upon principle, logic, common sense, integrity or God's Law.

In Islam, striving to institute worldwide Shari'a Law is a required duty. So it would seem that progressive Democrats and Republicans feel the required duty to institute laws, programs and regulations, create agencies, and appoint Judges and Czars, for the sole purpose of pushing their progressive agenda to control our lives, much like Shari'a Law does in the Islamic cultures.

And perhaps most noticeable is the political comparison to the Islamic concept of Taqiyya. In Islam, Taqiyya allows Muslims to lie at will, in fact it commands them to deceive all non-Muslims, in an effort to convert them to Islam. How often do we find our politicians lying to us? How many times to they misrepresent the truth? How often do they play semantics to push an idea or an agenda? How often do they fail to provide complete information relative to the scope of an issue so that we can make informed judgements and decisions? Does that happen weekly? Daily? Several times a day? In every public discussion in which a politician engages? Several time during that discussion? Like stars in the universe, the lies. omissions and half-truths from our politicians are too numerous to count.

Islam is at war with the world, and will be until Shari'a law is the law everywhere. And progressives are at war with the Constitution, and the very fabric of America, until they can break her down and "transform" her into something different.

And so, a political Jihad against America, her Judeo-Christian faith, her institutions, her values, her founders, and her ideals is likely to continue for decades (at least). Like an Islamist Holy Jihad, progressives will not stop of their own free will until they have reached their goal. Thus, it falls to us to stop them. We started that process this past November. But these political jihadists are not going away. They may retreat to regroup, and to develop a new, more comprehensive strategy. But if we are not vigilant, when they come back (which they will) in force, we will be ill prepared to meet that challenge.

God has given us the opportunity to regain our foothold in America's future. What we choose to do with that foothold will ultimately define the future of America. We can use that foothold to rest on our laurels, or we can use it to repair the foundation of America, to make that foundation stronger and able to withstand the onslaught that will surely come at some point in the future. It's to each of us to decide. I choose rebuild and repair!

So 'el presidente, obama', What's Your Plan NOW?

Let's see... you screwed around so long that Iran has established it's nuclear capabilities. You catered to Iran, and the ideals and policies of the Iranian regime, emboldening their perception of their importance on the world stage. You show them weakness, instead of bold leadership. How's that been working out there, chief?

Now we find there is intelligence that supports that Iran will place missiles in Venezuela (oh, remember your good friend Chavez? How was that book he gave you?), which can reach American soil. Hmmm, does Bay of Pigs sound at all familiar? Do you think you can escape this "crisis", should it emerge, through the same type of luck that Kennedy had? Given your track record for doing exactly the wrong thing, I'd say we don't stand a chance.
