Military might...or not

First off, you should know that I'm a fan of both military and cops. I'm usually on their side because I've seen first hand what it would be like without them. They are my heroes- and I fully support them. But currently our society and government are h.e.double toothpicks bent on pulling their ability to protect us.

Benjamin Franklin once said that "The cat with gloves catches no mice." If you think about it, that is a hugely profound statement in today's world. We can't protect America if our military or our police are so worried about political correctness that they basically have handcuffs on their own wrists.

I read a couple of days ago on the "Navy Times" website, that a new medal has been proposed. It's given to troops who "show restraint" and don't kill the enemy. Now, before you throw up, let's balance all this and give someone the benefit of the doubt- they are trying to mitigate the many times when someone has gone crazy on adrenalin and killed a whole room full of civilians. So technically I understand it.
Do I agree with it? Absolutely not!

It sends the wrong message. It sends confusion to the men and women who put their lives in jeopardy every day in the war zones. "Uh, should I shoot, or not shoot and maybe get a medal." "Should I kill that guy with the AK47 or should I see if I can talk him out of pulling the trigger." NO TIME,people, there is never that much time!

To survive on the streets, or survive in a war, they must make split second decisions. You don't have time to pick your nose, scratch your hiney, or go to the john before you make a decision. You have one second, maybe less, to decide whether that guy is going to blow you up. And generally speaking, people who hate you are going to choose to pull the trigger.

We have always had the best military in the world. Even when we were a fledgling nation, when our military were just a bunch of rag-tag neighbors with some muskets, they were the best. They fought with passion for their families and in spite of the odds against them won freedom for America. The military has continued that tradition in spite of the society that is constantly trying to beat them down. But this threat is insidious. Making them "nicer", making them more "sensitive" will not protect our country. It will weaken them from the inside out.

The Lord didn't bless the cowards who were scared of the people of Canaan. He only blessed the two men, Joshua and Caleb, who had the faith to fight. He didn't stand with the entire Israeli army who were afraid of Goliath- He stood with the skinny kid with the slingshot who had faith and courage to face the enemy. And the people of faith won. We must not allow faith to fall in America. We must not produce weak, double-minded troops. Our very lives depend on it!

Firm Foundations?

Ok, is anyone else out there ticked off that some kids in California were told to go change their clothes because of an American flag? And this morning Mexican gangs are threatening them because of their clothing choice. Excuse me, when are we going to stop allowing intimidation to run things?

My Dad taught me as a child to stand up to bullies, and not back down to peer pressure. Wow, just the opposite today.

We allow gangs, terrorists, and other assorted a.h.'s to run our lifestyle. We fold when muslims whine. We disavow our Christian heritage at the first sign of complaint. We have become a nation of cowards. Do you know...God hates cowards?

Benjamin Franklin once said this: "Those who give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

He was right. There are times to back down and times to stand up. Our flag is our banner-- and the gangs have no right to intimidate us out of wearing it. The principal of a high school has no right to stop the wearing of it. It's my flag and I will wear it, and those who don't like it, tough.

My forefathers fought in the Revolutionary War. They paid the price for this land. My forefathers also fought in the Civil War- they also paid a horrible price for this land.The gangs, the muslims, the bullies who think they are powerful are not worthy of our subservience. We need to rise up as Americans and put a stop to the intimidation.

Our foundations have become weak. In the book of Daniel (Bible, remember that one?), there is a dream of an image that had clay feet and it crumbled. We are there. America is not standing, it is crumbling due to lack of firm foundations. I'll ask you- can we get some strong mortar or will it fall over?

Arizona Cactus

When I was a kid, we crossed the border into Arizona and encountered some spectacular cactus. Tall saguaro (Sa wa roe)towers with lively blooms on the tips of their arms...as if the cacti carried bouquets of flowers for all to share. Today, all people can see are the thorns. They are missing the point.

The Arizona Support Our Law Enforcement
and Safe Neighborhoods Act(Senate Bill 1070)signed on
Friday, April 23, 2010, is NOT what the media would tell you it is. It is not what the army of left wingers purport it to be. They are raising a hissy fit over nothing!

Ignorance is a condition of the heart and mind. It isn't born of reality, it is born of opinion, judgment, and deception. And that type of self-centered behavior always leads to destruction!

Yesterday, May 4, 2010, someone sent an envelope of white powder to Governor Jan Brewer's office. Did the mainline media report it? Not really, you had to hunt for any information. Did anyone raise a hue and cry about her safety? No. Talk about a double standard. It's ignorance in the extreme.

Based on my own law enforcement experience, let's talk about the AZ law for a minute. There is nothing new in it. It changes NOTHING. It simply asks local law enforcement to pick up the task that the Fed gov should be enforcing. Its wording is THE SAME as the current federal laws.

What about this screaming tantrum about "racial profiling" and other garbage? ALL legislation throughout the United States has to conform to Supreme Court rulings such as Miranda v Arizona, and the rulings about "probable cause." ALL law enforcement agencies in America must subscribe to those precedents. When they do not, there is hell to pay- because their cases are all thrown out. No law enforcement officer can go around arresting people because he or she has a snit that day. They can't stop you unless you do something suspicious. They MUST have some logical reason based upon their training that causes them to be concerned. But you know what? If you cross the center line while driving down the road, you're going to get stopped. And tough if you don't like it.

The Arizona law legally stresses Supreme Court precedents. It does NOT countermand them, nor does it change the thread of legal issues contained in the Federal Statute.
To hear it spouted by the left, you'd think AZ passed a law to wipe out the Mexican population by force. GOOD GRIEF.


From 1980-1990's, there were a group of people who followed the soccer game trail called "hooligans." They specifically targeted the crowds at large events and started riots that claimed many lives. They weren't real fans, they were trouble-makers who desired destruction. The left-wing people who like to stir things up with those who really don't know the truth are the same. They are worse than hooligans. They take what is lovely and destroy it for all of us.

That's the problem with the left- they have more temper tantrums than muslims. Everyone is always offended. We live in a world where political correctness causes us to walk on eggshells. We can't enforce the current laws because someone will complain. It's a big pile of thorns. What happened to the lovely landscape of Arizona, the God-given beauty of its people of all races? It's buried in a pile of bull poop, slung by the people who like to rile everyone up into a frenzy.

Freedom of Religion? Where?

Well, they've finally done it. Federal judge Barbara Crabb has ruled that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. Where is she from, Mars? Obviously her knowledge of America's foundations is not only lacking but down right wrong.

As much as our President and his cronies have tried to delete Christianity from America, the purpose of the Constitution is very clear: freedom OF religion, not freedom "from" religion. Any read of our history that is correct shows a continual thread of Christianity. This current corn flake bowl of liberals is not only attempting to re-write history, but they have little resemblance whatsoever to any previous liberals or "progressives". By the way, when you hear someone say they are "progressive", you can substitute the word "regressive" and run like the wind away from them!

Woodrow Wilson was not the most popular President in our history, and his views were not what we could call "conservative." But in the front flap of a small HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible)Bible, there is a copy of a letter written to the American people which says in part: "The Bible is the word of life. I beg that you will read it and find this out for yourselves -- read, not little snatches here and there, but long passages that will really be the road to the heart of it...the more you read the more it will become plain to you what things are worth while and what are not, what things make men happy-- loyalty, right dealing, speaking the truth, readiness to give everything for that they think their duty, and most of all, the wish that they may have the approval of Christ, who gave everything for them..." It is signed by Woodrow Wilson on Presidential stationary.

Contrast these words to an administration which gives nothing for America but apology, and hostility to that very Word which President Wilson described as "life." Keep in mind that the further we get from God in our hearts, the crazier and more nasty people will become. They are already, as the Bible pronounces, those whose "love has grown cold."

Hear this, liberals, and hear this carefully. You may attempt to remove God from everything we do. You may attempt to force us to worship your golden image of man, or a false religion.You will fail. You may legislate the mention of God out of every workplace and government office- but you cannot legislate Him out of US. You cannot stop us from prayer even if you duct tape our mouths shut or kill us. You cannot keep us from the Lord. He's much much bigger than you are, and we know Him well. You can keep fueling the flames hotter, and He will appear in the furnace with us. You can make the lions around us roar louder, and He will let us cuddle up and sleep in peace around them without harm.

You may have the temporary ability to mess with us, but we are not crushed- because when we arise, He will arise with us and it is YOU that will be ashamed!

Stupak, Netanyahu,Threats and Other Dangers

Let me say this first: I have never claimed to be sane. I do claim to have a unique perspective. My past experiences reveal some information you may not be aware of for daily life, so listen up and listen carefully. My past includes a short stint in MENSA (3 years, so in case you want to call me a moron, guess again. Just sayin').

Everything you see with your eyes is not really what exists.The things we touch, see, feel are actually made up of things that we cannot see. Solid objects, for example, are not truly "solid"; they are made up of millions of moving atoms. They ram each other and share electrons with unimaginable speed. Their closely packed movement and shared electrons creates the illusion of solid matter.Look at a periodic table sometime and see that each element is a combination of different atoms that have "combined" in their movements.

Take water, for example. It looks real, it flows, we can touch it and feel it and drink it. But it is really hydrogen gas that has combined with oxygen gas.(H2O)In other words, their molecules have combined and formed something else.
Fire and Lightning are actually particles of energy that became ionized from their movement- stick your hand in that energy stream and you will get burned. Point is, what you see around you is not real- what you can't see is what causes what is visible!

Let me give you a graphic example: I once worked with a German lady who had been an "interpreter at Auschwitz" during WWII. At first we had great conversations and worked together well. One morning during one of those conversations, something I mentioned suddenly caused a black spirit to cover her face. It was visible, dark, and completely engulfed her body from the head down. From that moment on, hatred ran her. Whether I mentioned something about God's chosen people or Christians doesn't matter- a demonic force took control of her. For the next few months she went wild.She started drinking alcohol in the bathroom. She started tearing up criminal records and pitching them in the garbage. She tried to get me fired with lies. She told different lies to each employee. One day she went totally crazy and left work- she was found several hundred miles away in Canada, wandering the streets in a mental fog! We did not realize that her life as a Nazi interpreter had allowed her to live with a demon of hatred all those years. And it destroyed her.

So let's talk about what is happening in our government, our country right now. The vicious anger and hatred that is manifesting in the political arena is not just caused by out-of-control people. It is a manifestation of demonic forces unleashed in America. Example: Bart Stupak played into the hands of a judas spirit- or a spirit of betrayal. And, like Judas in real life, he has now stated he will not run for re-election. In short, he has seen his sin of "taking silver" for lives and is getting out of the arena. He is lost, in effect, from the job.

Another example: the threats against both Dems and Reps. We look at that and think it's all stupid people. Well, they may be stupid (I.Q.= -33). But they have allowed themselves to be run by demonic forces- in short, the spirits of hatred and murder. BOTH sides are falling into the trap. Satan's house is NOT divided, no matter what label is on it.Nancy Pelosi frequently falls into the trap by calling the conservatives names and treating Tea Party activists as evil. As Jesus once said, you are all children of your father, the Devil.

Our President and his Secretary of State recently treated the Prime Minister of Israel like trash. He was snubbed, yelled at, and basically run over by the Obama freight train. Big problem with that is that it comes from a Haman Spirit- or an anti-semitic demonic force that has been around since the beginning. It's a demon, plain and simple.

Mr. Netanyahu is a strong man of principle, and pushing him is a mistake. Israel is supposed to be an ally - we have been the ONLY two nations who together have been a formidable force of strength against tyranny in the Middle East. All of the others who call themselves our "allies" are compromised due to the Muslim influence. In the spiritual realm, God loves the Israeli people, they are His original chosen ones. Be nasty to them, you step into a realm of real danger. Our own President has acted directly against the Living God -- think about it, not a smart move.

Let me put it as plainly as possible: if the people of America do not STOP right now and turn around their attitudes and actions, we are going to collapse as a nation. If our leaders don't repent, Pandora's box will remain open and the tribulations will grow even worse. The only hope we have is a move of the Holy Spirit upon us to create a place of repentance and reversal of the animosity. Hit your knees, America,and stop allowing the rulers of darkness access to your hearts! The things you cannot see are attempting to destroy us.

Physics, Politics, and Consequences

Isaac Newton gave us a principle that said, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now I know that some scientists are trying to push the idea that Sir Isaac was some nutcase, a religious crackpot. But we still use his findings as the basis of our modern science. So let's apply the laws we've learned in science to what is happening in the political realm.

Debt is like heavy rocks. If you pile it too high on a platform made out of wood, eventually the platform will collapse. If you bury a person under those same rocks, they will die. Our government has piled so much debt on top of America's people, that we will never see the light of day. And it will suffocate the life out of us.It's a scientific guarantee.

Last week Congress passed Obamacare, as you are well aware. Now, understand, I have no objection to trying to reform the healthcare system- but reform it toward socialism I strongly disagree. I have friends in nations with socialized medicine who tell me they may have to wait two or more years for surgeries that we take for granted here. Their system is so clogged with people that it has become an assembly line of people. Pay for doctors is way down, so they fight to get anyone from anywhere with a medical degree, even if it is substandard.

And insurances:my current insurance policy went up by $111 this year alone. Why? Because of a major surgery I am now considered "high risk." And so they can charge me considerably more. I'm too young for Medicare. They offered me a different policy, but they offered me an extremely high deductible, which would have been deadly for me on a fixed income. Did this healthcare bill help me? Nope. Not now, not until maybe 2014. I still won't be eligible for Medicare until 2018. America probably won't exist by then, if some things don't change!

Walgreens cut off new Medicaid patients just prior to passage of this bill. They don't want to deal with the mess of red tape! Many major corporations are worried they will go under as the weight of new taxes hits them.

Americans are already buried under tons of monetary rocks. This may be our death nell, if we are unable to throw off the weight of the tyranny behind it. And make no mistake, this is tyranny.It is a form of slavery to the master that our leaders want to force on the American people. They want us to pay. They want us to fall. They have exempted themselves from the consequences. We are the fall guys here. The best hope we have is the voting booth.

I saw firsthand what "redistribution of wealth"really means in the 70's. It meant that leaders got the money, the people got poverty. It meant that leaders kept their power, the people had none. It meant that machine guns were trained on their own people, not only their enemies. Their people were literally trapped behind barbed wire fences with little material goods and little hope.If that's what you'd like for America, keep letting these folks run our nation.

I knew a woman who swam the Danube River to flee from her communist nation in order to get to America back in the 60's. She was lucky; she made it alive. But not without scars. They promised a "redistribution of wealth" to her nation too...what they got was communist control and deadly force that crushed her people.

It took President Reagan and a moderate Soviet leader to tear down the Berlin Wall. I don't see anyone with the wisdom to stop this runaway train in America. We have a popularity contest instead of a political system. We need to vote this November, and vote in the masses against the Marxist agenda.And I pray that someone with true wisdom will show up before November of 2012, or we are done for.The science proves it.

The Consequences of Bitterness

This morning's headlines contain the story of a blonde-haired mother who was once a straight A nursing student- now a hate-filled follower of Islamic extremists. How did she get there? Actually, it's an easy downhill slide. It starts with bitterness.

Bitterness is one of the worst things that can infiltrate a person's life. As soon as it takes root, it starts growing exponentially.

As we grow up, many things can happen to us in this difficult world. People can hurt us. People we trust can betray us. By the time we reach adulthood, we can choose to walk past such bad situations into a good life with joy, or we can live in the past and hunker down into bitterness. From there it's a build up of darkness that eventually overloads and starts an avalanche of problems. Forgiveness renders that bitterness unable to grow!

Hosea Ballou, one of our nation's founding personalities (1771-1852), once said that "A religion which requires persecution to sustain it is of the devil's propagation." If he were alive today, he would see that play out in the most destructive of philosophies: the idea that "infidels" should be killed.

Hatred is the blossom that blooms as bitterness grows. Soon it releases its pollen to others, and a whole field of evil is produced. It ALWAYS produces some sort of death in the person in which it resides. It is a self-punishing hell to those who choose to live in it. Their thoughts are consumed. Their ability to truly love is destroyed. Their actions become destructive to others. Their joy becomes perverted into hate. Life is no longer worth living, so whatever their mindset becomes plays out in a drama of evil actions. All because at some point in their lives, they chose to be bitter.It's not worth it, folks.

Television, movies, games, all teach our people to be bitter and angry- revenge and violence fill their minds. "Get even" is the cry of these media. We don't know what we have done. Religious people who blindly indoctrinate others without regard for life itself propogate such terror. In a world that is messy and harsh, we have shown children and adults alike how to grow a bitterness seed. And when confronted by someone (like a jihadist) with a method of revenge and anger against those they have chosen to hate, they move easily into a world of extremist thought and plot to blow people up. Or they find weapons and shoot innocent people in a school, business, or shopping mall.

There is only one answer- the forgiveness of Christ. Free yourself from the pain of bitterness, and let go of the past. It's not worth it. It's not worth destroying families and friends, nations and cities over the way you feel inside. Get free of it!
