The Anti-Tea Party Movement: Profiles in hypocrisy.

Posted by americana83 on July 10, 2009

The Main Stream Media love to call the Tea Parties an “Astroturf” movement, meaning that they aren’t an authentic movement of the people, that they are merely people drawn to conservative celebrities, whether they be Glenn Beck or Rush (though Rush has intentionally distanced himself from the movement citing that very reason.

Yet, this same MSM saw no problem at all with, nor did they call the Hope and Change campaign in 2008 “Astroturf” despite the celebrities that climbed on board.

Will-I-Am and other liberal elites exalt Obama in a song flavored with “praise and worship” styled music and lyrics.

“Obama Girl” uses her body and sexy poses with images of Obama to cultivate an aura of celebrity around Obama that is empty. Do you really thing “boring discussions of policy” could have created such undying love in a generation (my generation) with perpetual ADHD? The MSM gave her several awards for her fantastic piece of astroturf. (While it resulted in actual votes, I consider popularity built around sexy political images instead of policy and practicality to be fake aura) (Astroturf is used to cover over dirt and concrete concealing reality in a prefabricated illusion of lush greenness)

A more “distinguished: part of the astroturfing of Obama was the incessant pimping of the “historical” aspect of Obama’s election. This pimping was carried out by every MSM news outlet, and by most news papers, for which Obama’s race trumped his agenda and any other considerations (This included the “conservative” Columbus dispatch, which though it technically endorsed “McCain-Palin” trumpeted the “historic” aspect of the election in almost every article written, with references to race so constantly, they must have thought all their readers had Alzheimer’s and forgot the historic aspect within seconds of reading of it.

One could argue that celebrities like the black eyed peas’ Will-I-AM, and cyber celebs like “Obama Girl” helped to propel Obama’s campaign over the top, creating an aura of celebrity around Obama himself. The media and other celebrities were complicit in making the “historical” aspect of the election, namely Obama’s skin color, the main attraction, followed by his “hip youngness.”

The Tea Parties, by contrast, do not center around a cult of personality. While Obama Girl and company made it about Obama’s “hotness” or “making history” the Tea Parties are about ideas, the chief among them opposing socialism (rapidly expanding government spending and control) and hailing the restoration of the free market and individual liberties.

Movements need leaders, who understand what’s going on with the ability to explain why something needs to be done.

They call these things a product of Fox. That’s because Fox angered the other stations by actually covering the protests and rallies in a “fair and balanced” manner, without resorting to juvenile derision tactics employed by CNN and MSNBC. (Speaking of such who can forget the MSNBC anchor that got a thrill going down his leg when he heard Obama’s voice?)

The other attempt going on to discredit the movement is that its only “old white guys” protesting the “historic election.” They think everyone else is as superficial and race-based as themselves, and that the only reason anyone could possibly oppose Obama is because “he is a black man.” This tactic is also employed by ignorant youtube kitties which make videos like this one:

The author of the video has included this email address in the video’s intro. flugennock@sinkers.org since he has disabled comments and video replies, I would urge you to email him and tell him that he’s wrongly and grossly slandering average Americans of all walks of life.

Claiming the Tea Party attendees are Nazis and white power people. He missed the passionate latin American immigrant who spoke at the DC rally, as well as the diversity within the very audience he tried to paint as little hitlers. These people lie to make themselves feel better, and because they have nothing of substance to attack people standing up for the constitution, and against tyranny. So they call them “racists” and “tea baggers”

My photo collage of the attenders of the July 4th Washington DC tea party.

People of all colors issuing an open invitation for Janeane Garafolo to attend the July 4th Texas tea party and see who makes up the tea party movement.

Ironically, with a little creative editing of my own, one of Flugennock’s own comics can be turned on him…

DC Tea Party, Just the beginning!

Posted by americana83 on July 5, 2009

Photos here!

Approximately 2500 people from across the country rallied together in the shadow of the capital building this July 4th to send Washington a message: STOP with the deficit SPENDING! Countless broken promises and trillions of dollars of pork barrel spending litter the first months of the new administration. Change so far has been an unprecedented lack of transparency coupled with quickly ramming through unread and misunderstood bills which only serve to undermine freedom and grant the government ever more intrusive and unconstitutional control over the daily actions and decisions of Americans.

The Faces of the Tea Party movement

The way forward is clear: the people must wake up. An educated electorate is the enemy of tyranny. I’m not talking about Ivy League intellectualism, but an understanding of these things: The English language, The Bible, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.

The English langauge:

Politicians are are so good at bending words, and concealing true meanings, that they can say anything that sounds good. Knowing your words, means you can read for yourself and know your rights, and more importantly, the limits and restrictions placed on government power.

Tito compares Chavez and Obama policy, and reflects on his recent immigration to the USA

The Bible. Love it or not, most of the founding fathers had a great knowledge of the scriptures. Even those who may have been deists had a great respect for the system of morality put forth in the Good Book. It was on the 10 commandments of God that most of our laws were based. The founding fathers had a “firm reliance on Divine Providence” and it was the belief that Rights were “endowed by their Creator” that galvanized their resolve to stand up against tyranny.

The Speakers at the Tea Party made many good points and observations. I captured some, and once I get the videos formatted, will post them!

Thank you for visiting.

God bless America- Again!

Ebay Removes Birth Certificate

Posted by americana83 on June 27, 2009

It seems that Ebay has already removed the Birth Certificate. Shame on them. Did it violate their TOS to sell presidential memorabilia? Who knows, either way, the birth cert is gone.

Reading between the lines: A look at the ABC Obamacare Infomercial

Posted by americana83 on June 25, 2009

SOURCE: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/HealthCare/Story?id=7919991&page=1

“They’re wrong,” the president said, arguing that in a Health Insurance Exchange the public plan would be “one option among multiple options.”

The concern, Gibson articulated, is that such a plan wouldn’t be offered on a level playing field.

The president rebuffed that, arguing that “we can set up a public option where they’re collecting premiums just like any private insurer and doctors can collect rates,” but because the public plan will have lower administrative costs “we can keep them [private insurance companies] honest.”

Obama said he didn’t understand those advocates of the free market who constantly say the private sector can do things better and are yet worried about this plan.

“If that’s the case, no one will chose the public option,” the president said. He also suggested, however, that the private sector might not necessarily be better, point out that users of Medicare and Veterans Administration hospitals constantly rate “pretty high satisfaction.”

First problem: unlike private companies, the federal government has no incentive for efficiency. They can do nasty little things, like taxing employer provided healthcare, raising taxes in general, printing off more money. It is impossible to compete with the referee when he controls the rules of the game AND participates in the game itself. When is he ever going to call himself out?

Second problem: When the government is the healthcare provider, who do you go to when you have problems, or lawsuits? Keeping services separate from government allows for a course of action for grievances.

Third problem: The government will have lower administrative costs? LOL LOL LOL LOL. I am surprised he was able to keep a straight face while spouting that whopper! What government program runs with low overhead? And how can the government “keep them honest” when the government lies just as much, (if not much more!) as any private company?

The president criticized the Congressional Budget Office, which recently analyzed the cost of two Democratic Senate draft bills as costing between $1 and $1.6 trillion.

Yeah, he did, because it made people realize how much more insolvent it will make this country!- and he whined because they didn’t include all of his “maybes” that would make the system (in theory) less expensive. I guess the CBO is now on Obama’s Domestic Terrorist Watch List.

About a third of the costs will come from new revenue,” the president said, pushing his proposal to raise taxes on those making more than $200,000 a year through a change in the itemized deduction in the tax code.

New revenue is a code word for your money. This is a prime example of redistributing wealth, taking more money from the people. And you know that the promise used to be 250,000. Watch it go down…down…down… like almost every promise he’s made to date.

Gail Wilensky, a senior fellow at Project HOPE who ran Medicare during the administration of President George H.W. Bush, pushed the president for more specifics on how he expects to pay for the plan.

“This is not an easy problem,” the president acknowledged. “And it’s especially not an easy problem when the economy is going through a difficult phase.”

But the president suggested the stars were aligning for reform, citing efforts being made such as the pharmaceutical industry’s recent pledge to help defray the costs of prescription drugs for seniors, and argued that now was the time for reform.

The stars are aligning for reform? Ooh, so now astrology is determining the direction the government will take? I suppose 3.99 a minute is less expensive than the typical Washington way. So much for specifics. Like the stimulus plan, we won’t find out how miserable and messy it is until he rams it through in the cover of some crises or another. Because you never let a good crises go to waste, right?

In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer that aired today on “Good Morning America,” Obama indicated that there was a breaking point in the balance sheets where he would say that the cost of reforming the system is too great for the federal government to handle, but he did not put a price tag on it.

The breaking point would be riots in the streets, the uptick in unemployment as the employees of private insurance companies are added to health care professionals from closed hospitals and other private sector employers. But really the only breaking point is how much money he can get the Federal Reserve to loan him. I would estimate the actual breaking point would be once the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of America has been spent to the 10th or 11th generation.

Here’s a nice one, either we tax your healthcare benefits, or we tax charities by killing deductions. Mr. President, you think that’s a good alternative, you’re sick!

One option being considered on Capitol Hill is taxing health care benefits, which are currently tax exempt.

Today, a key Democratic senator indicated that may be inevitable.

“It is hard for me to see how you have a package that is paid for that doesn’t include reducing the tax subsidy for health care,” said Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, who is regarded among Democrats as something of a deficit hawk.

Conrad sees the potential for a significant source of revenue.

“Tax subsidies for health care. They’re huge. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year,” he said.

Obama said he opposes that approach, instead wanting to pay for the bill partly by reducing the tax deductions wealthier people can take when donating to charity.

Isn’t that reassuring. Tax donations, and you hurt charities, which means you hurt the poor, old and young. Tax health care, and you hurt middle America. Sick and twisted. He can call them tax subsidies, since of course the government’s right to tax everything is the supreme Law. What about foodstuffs?

Warning: Another flip-flop ahead, (Just like his “outrage” about McCain suggesting taxing health care benefits, which now the president has suggested).

As a candidate, then-Sen. Obama bashed his rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, for proposing that Americans be mandated to have health insurance.

“She’d have the government force you to buy health insurance,” he said Feb. 23, 2008. “I disagree with that approach. I believe that the reason Americans don’t have health care isn’t because no one’s forced them to buy it, it’s because no one’s made it affordable.”

But now the president is acknowledging that his thinking on the issue has “evolved” and he could support a law mandating that individuals purchase health care coverage, with fines for those who do not.

Obama stressed that there must be some kind of waiver for those who are simply unable to afford it.

“People have made some pretty compelling arguments to me that if we want to have a system that drives down costs for everybody, then we’ve got to have healthier people not opt out of the system,” the president told ABC News.

If they can’t opt out of it, then you are forcing them into something they do not want!  (You just want them in because they won’t use it). Hypocrite! Whatever happened to being “pro-choice”? The only choice you like is the one allowing people to slaughter babies for fun and profit, as your 100% NARAL rating attests too. Bet you wait awhile for the “Freedom of Choice” Act though.

With the health care debate ramping up, with Republicans assailing Democrats for the high price tag and a public option plan, Obama’s ratings on the subject slipped slightly in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Only 53 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of health care while 39 percent disapprove of it, up from 29 percent who disapproved in April, according to the poll.

Concluding the health care forum, Obama expressed optimism that reform is possible.

“If the American people get behind this, this is going to happen,” the president said.

And here we are, blaming republicans for Americans’ disapproval of Obamacare. No rational thinking person could honestly believe the government will “lower costs” and provide “quality care” and preserve “freedom of choice” while taxing private plans and charities and herding people onto Uncle Sam’s healthcare plantation. It doesn’t matter if the American peopple aren’t behind him. As he said to some congressman earlier:

“I won, I’ll trump you on that.”

Evolutionary Christianity: Can it stand?

Posted by americana83 on June 12, 2009

The problem created by an evolutionary view of origins is this: The Bible says that death came by sin (in Genesis), therefore we must assume that nothing could have died on earth prior to Adam’s sin, for which God cursed all creation.

However, if evolution is assumed to be true, then death is an essential component, for the scientists say that man came on the scene “only” a few million years ago. If the earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years, and life for 3.5 billion years, then that means death and bloodshed were around long before Man sinned, which means that sin cannot be the source of death: therefore the following:

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”
(Romans 5:12-18)

is false, and our salvation is based on a myth.

It also means that God called death and bloodshed “very good”

Therefore, if God’s first “good” creation was bloody and death-filled before man fell, then the new heaven and new earth promised in Revelation would be no better.

I submit that surrendering the authority of any Scripture to unconfirmed hypotheses has the potential to undermine the authority of all Scripture.

As a side note, there are actually some fascinating scientific facts contained in the Bible, and believing in a literal creation does not mean remaining ignorant of man’s hypothesis. (I was able to use my knowledge of both to present God’s word in a forum). If your interested, I will try to find the link. Also if you haven’t, check out http://www.answersingenesis.org

Obama’s LGBT proclamation

Posted by americana83 on June 4, 2009

In full here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/

“Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration — in both the White House and the Federal agencies — openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.”

Given Obama’s propensity to pick tax cheats, racists, radicals and those mired in all kinds of scandals I seriously doubt his definition of “best qualities” is even remotely close to mine or many Americans.’ It seems the President is particularly proud to appoint “the first this… or the first that, as if that is what makes a good public servant. Just one question, why make who a person goes to bed with a point of pride? Does that mean we can have Celibate and Virgin pride month? Man-Boy love month? Student-Teacher pride month? Also, who ever said sex had to be discussed in the workplace? Because I don’t talk about it to everyone, does that mean I’m a closeted virgin? Well, now I’ve guess I’m openly virgin, since I just told everyone who reads this blog. So you better not discriminate against me, or make fun of me. Or perhaps a better designation is “non-practicing heterosexual” (NPH) since I do plan on getting married one day.

Obama’s “GLBT” proclamation:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.

And now for a little bit of blasphemy: He has the audacity to do this in the name of the Lord:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

When the Lord said this:

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look…(Proverbs 6:16-17)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…(Leviticus 20:13)

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.(Romans 1:24-27)

Also, where in the constitution does he find the authority to celebrate who people go to bed with?

Disclaimer: Opposition to a lifestyle, action or political/social cause (LAoPSC) does not mean hatred of those who engage in aforementioned disapproved LAoPSC. Believing that 2 wrongs do not make a right; I hereby denounce, discourage and reject any and all violence perpetuated, committed or plotted by any individual, group, organization or entity against those who support LAoPSC.

Supreme Court Nominee: What, me racist?

Posted by americana83 on June 1, 2009

Barack Obama presented soaring rhetoric about race. It sounded nice. He invited a preacher to give his benediction which implied whites always do wrong…

Obama’s historic election was heralded as a climax to the racial struggle, a minority elected to the most powerful office in the world (not withstanding 2 Black Supreme Court justices and UN Secretary General Kofi Anin). That perhaps now we could all embrace 1 human race and move forward together. It was my one hope in Obama’s election, and he has been doing his hardest to undermine and destroy that hope, by injecting racialization and radicalism into every appointment he makes (the appointments made to neutralize political opponents excluded).

His Supreme Court appointee is all about race:

I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.

Sonia Sotomayor also sees nothing wrong with denying a pay raise based on a non-discriminatory written test because only whites and a Hispanic scored high enough to earn the raise. Obviously she puts priority on skin color and national origin. This is what we can expect from her should she succeed in being confirmed as the next Supreme Court Justice.

Further, according to the American Bar Association, she is a member of La Raza (National Council of La Raza, or NCLR).

Check here for an article on La Raza http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=13863

If La Raza was going “the people” as it claims here: http://www.nclr.org/section/translation/ It would have chosen “gentes.” The semantics about race and ethnicity do not change the fact that the group is supportive of race/ethnicity based causes like this:

Enter “la raza” into babelfish, an online translation service powered by the excellent Systran software and you get “the race.”

Try it: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt (Be sure to choose “Spanish to English”)

While they officially denounce separatist/racialist groups, they are more than willing to join forces with them for “common goals” like “education” as they state here:

http://www.nclr.org/section/separatist/

Sonia Sotomayor is wrong for America.

Find your senators here: www.senate.gov and urge them to oppose the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor as Supreme Court Justice.

Should Christians be involved politically?

Posted by americana83 on May 18, 2009

I have contemplated at various times the virtues and demerits of Christians being involved in politics. Politics is messy, and what reason do Christians have to be involved in it?

One verse that I’ve considered is rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s(Matthew 22:21) . In America, it is the civic duty to vote, not only that, but to make an informed vote. If one avoids baseless personal attacks, and uses the Bible as his compass for all things moral/social/political/spiritual, then he can render service to his voting age fellow believers and further the cause of wisdom and knowledge. Ignorance is not bliss.

Some active believers included King David, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (not to mention whole groups of prophets (like Moses) decrying spiritual/moral wickedness on throne, and calling out for repentance. Many people would place these men above us all saying that they were inspired by God. We have in our possession the word, deeds and actions of both sides. If God is the same yesterday, today and forever, then those things which resulted in judgment of kingdoms and nations then, will they still not result in condemnation today?Does the moral positioning and laws of a country matter?

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
(Proverbs 14:34)

God himself says that it is righteousness that exalts a nation, and that its sinful actions will bring it down. But, you say, God is in control, things will happen whether or not we do or say anything. Using that logic, one could refuse to witness, merely saying that, “God will save them whether I do anything or not.” The same could be said of any number of things:

working “God will get it done”

eating “God will feed me”

taking care of your children “God will feed them”

Just as there is a time and a place for us to engage in witnessing, working, eating, and taking care of children (those of us who have them), then surely there is a time and a place to stand up for righteousness in the public square.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:10)

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
(Matthew 5:13-16)

Silence is acceptance, a quiet admission that everything is ok. It is this that permitted slavery to so long stay in America, because godly men said nothing. It was silence that permitted the rise of evil men in Germany and the slaughter of many innocent Jewish people.

God created the principle of reaping and sewing. That which you sew sparingly shall be reaped in abundance. God has set up these laws, He does not always step in to bail us out of the consequences of our own action or inaction. It is not God that will be called to answer for the atrocities of man, but rather 2 groups: those who committed the national sins, and those who knew better, who felt the pressing of the Lord to stand up, who instead dead bolted their jaws shut and sat down.

Apathy is never a Christian virtue. We can be quiet, as sin is forged into the Law of the Land. We can do nothing as the freedoms recognized by the founding fathers as flowing from God are dammed up and their exercise forbidden by decree. Such inaction, compromise and “tolerance” will be commended by the powers that be, but the works of wood, hay and stubble that are based on it will be consumed by the fire at the judgment seat of Christ.

Every action a Christian takes in in love of God and people, messages delivered by the seemingly harsh prophets of old, were designed to bring repentance in the hearts of their recipients, to let them know “thus saith the Lord.”

In fact, Jonah, out of the hardness of his heart, wanted to withhold a harsh, condemning message from the people of Nineveh, because he knew God was a gracious God, and that if the people repented, then God would halt the judgment he intended to bring upon them! Hard messages must always be given for the right reasons, and they must be delivered in a way becoming a servant of God.

And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
(Jonah 3:1-10)

Now see Jonah’s response. He did not want to give the message to the people. And here’s why:

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
(Jonah 4:1-11)

Is there not a cause? Forsake apathy and rise up in Christian love and truth, and actively seek to restore God’s blessing on this country.

Council of Conservative Citizens: Conservatism that contradicts itself.

Posted by americana83 on May 11, 2009

I have been searching for the elusive conservative organization that stirs racist ideologies in with conservatism. I have found it in the form of the Council of Conservative Citizens.

This article will discuss the Council’s statement of principles, which like the most famous of deceits uttered in the garden of Eden, contains truth, albeit, mixed with several drops of arsenic, which, if propagated, will marginalize, racialize, and subvert true American beliefs and values. Each number in the following article corresponds to the number of the principle being discussed.

1. Partially true. The US was indeed founded on Christian principles. Religious tests for office are illegal, while it would be ideal, and indeed essential for the long term survival of a republic for all politicians to rule based on Christian values,  it would be impossible and illegal to demand that everyone adhere to the faith. That said, even the few Deists among the founding fathers stressed the value of Christian moral virtues.

2. Completely false. The United States became the United States by breaking from the European powers. While the founding fathers were Europeans, the succeeding generations of Americans are not, save those immigrants who continue to immigrate here. Europe is well advanced in its secularism and political correctness, and this is an anathema to many Americans. Contrary to their professed horror, for most of America’s history, we have had a non-European majority. Anyone born on this soil is American, not European, not African, not Asian, not South American. The continuation of such hyphenization is one of the main confusions of liberalism, and it will have the same affect on conservatism if it ever becomes accepted there. It is groups like this that seek the creation of racist policies under the guise of fighting illegal immigration. They would have no immigrants. The threat to America is *NOT* a “non-white” majority, but rather a proliferation of ignorance, moral relativism, socialism, and apathy.

3. True. Any lover of freedom will oppose the socialist utopia and anti-freedom agenda of groups like the United Nations.

4, 5. True. A limited, constitutional government is essential to freedom, and to ensure that the wages of hard work belong to the people who are doing the work, and not to support a massive bureaucracy.

6.  Some really strong truth mixed with a hell-inspired doctrine. Preserving the traditional family, opposing sexual perversions, opposing pornography, and preserving parental authority are very good and worthy goals. However, especially for a group claiming Christian heritage, there is absolutely no biblical (or scientific basis) for the separation of the “races.”

God’s Word says:  [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation (Acts 17-:26)

God defends Moses against racial antagonists (who’s racism was merely a mask for their animosity towards Moses): And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

(Numbers 12:1-2)And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
(Numbers 12:9-11)

7.True, with one notable exception: if this nation continues to have welfare programs, then those programs should be available to those who are here legally, regardless of whether or not they are natural born, or naturalized.

8. 2/3 true. Given that there is only one race (human), racial “integrity” makes no sense. The values and culture of America have been perpetuated by men and women from every corner of the world, who came here and embraced her. Likewise, people born here, and people of European descent have done much to destroy the culture and values of this country. To denigrate, or deny the American identity to a patriot because of skin color is sick and perverted, and contrary to the proposition that “all men are created equal”.

9. Mostly true. Foreign aid could be best conducted by private organizations that have a vested interest in, and love for, the peoples of the world. Government aid programs, usually funneled through the slow moving and bureaucracy-expense laiden United Nations, are wasted and distributed to and by the local tyrannical government, thereby helping a minimum of people. By allowing private/religious groups to engage in foreign aid, more efficient channels of distrubution can be found, and the cause of liberty can be strengthened worldwide.

10. Mostly true (see above about effective foreign aid). Also, this point contains a provision specifically designed to eliminate the special relationship between the USA and Israel. There are nations who’s security is in the best interest of Freedom, and Israel is one of those.

11. True, any nation should protect its interests and its people.

12. True, in most parts. Traditional education centering around reading, writing, arithmetic, the government and Constitution should form the basis of education. The study of current events, world history, and other languages and cultures should be available. No government funded school should be race-based. The Declaration of independence, and the Constitution’s rights and freedoms should be celebrated by all Americans, for it was these documents that sowed the seeds of the end of state-mandated racism, which was a gross violation of those founding principles.

13. Mostly true, however rehabilitation does have a place, and should be administered by private organizations. Not every criminal is hardened, and while justice should never be denied for dubious reasons, there is a place for mercy.

14. No arguments here.

Its amazing how a ‘little’ bit of racism can spoil a whole organization. What is even sadder is if this toxin is attributed to the Christian community or Conservative community at large. To do so is as much of a moral ill as the propagation of racism or any other sin.
