Can America Endure Even More Obama Absurdities?

Obama Stopping For Directions Map To Recovery SC Can America Endure Even More Obama Absurdities?

The Tsarnaev brothers could have been deported the moment it was known that they returned to the country they sought asylum from (or when Tamerlan was arrested and convicted for domestic violence in 2009.) Neither brother was given the boot.

Fast forward to May 14, 2013, when the Romeike family of German homeschoolers are denied asylum by Barack Obama and his twiddling twin Eric Holder. The Sixth District Court of Appeals upholds the Obama Administrations decision.

Injustice, absurdity, incongruity, and perversity are just a few of the words that can be used to describe the nonsense of the aforementioned. Bombers are in, but good parents who are raising kids with world-class intelligence that soars above anything coming out of public schools are given the boot back to Germany.

The arguments that rage between liberals and conservatives were at one time only slight political disturbances that could be hashed out between men and women who loved America and would, after some debate, buckle down and do what was right for the country in the spirit of bipartisanship. That day is all but gone.

Now, the same government that wants to wrap up all the guns in the nation (and drop them into a place where oceanic reefs can start to grow on them) has successfully kept secret all the inner workings of the most deadly and stupid gunrunning scheme in U.S. history called ‘Fast and Furious.’ More than absurdity, that immense boondoggle cost Americans their lives.

Benghazi comes in next on the great three-ring line up, and culpability and responsibility are effectively being blown off by Obama and on down to the lowest echelons of our nation’s best prevaricators. The death toll for Americans has risen, not just in war or acts of terror, but by pure dumbfounding acts of absurdity.

As late as May 14, 2013, Press Secretary Jay Carney was found using the word “tragedy” to describe Benghazi. Perhaps a terrorist attack is a tragedy; but an order to ‘stand down’ after a call for help went out, coming from the Commander in Chief or any of his subordinates, is not a tragedy. It is an actionable decision that has repercussions and responsibilities firmly riveted all over it. Tragedy, no – absurdity, yes!

Looming, creeping but steadily approaching, is the stealthy but deadly snake in the grass we call ObamaCare.

One of the greatest teachings of the Bible is a theme that some of the best have used for centuries. It comes from the Apostle Paul and is found in the book of Romans.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8: 28)

Some people argue that this verse and the principle contained in it only work for those who “love God.” No one lives in an isolated world, and what happens to lovers of God affects the rest of the world (and the same is true of unbelievers.)

The point is that if the world (or more specifically those in this country) will not take heed to the moral decline that is all around us, there is one eye opener that believer and unbeliever alike cannot dismiss. When the pocketbook is hit hard enough, it can send shock all the way to the brain, if not the heart and soul of a people.

Mr. Obama’s endless excursions to the back green and Michele’s extravagant vacationing will all get a pass until the cupboard runs dry for the rest of America.

ObamaCare, failed green schemes, economic bailouts, and the general mishandling of the nation’s treasury will result in a reversal for our pop-culture prez quicker than any attack, scandal, or controversy. Not even the Teflon President can escape the principle of Romans 8: 28.

Until the great fiscal crash of our time arrives in full strength, we may have to endure yet more absurdities.

The militant wing of ObamaCare, the IRS, is already under pressure for its role in targeting conservative and Tea Party organizations. Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist Billy Graham, was targeted by IRS hawks, making it abundantly clear that Christian organizations are clearly seen as a threat to the liberal agenda. Obama is shocked by the scandal and knew nothing about it. Perhaps, but would he have cared – if he did know – in an election year?

The other military (under the Pentagon) has opened up to pink power while fending off those filthy-mouthed and dangerous Christian witnesses and gospel preachers.

Pot smoking in public is OK in two new states, so liberals can at least sleep and snack more, thus freeing up time for patriots and conservatives to save what little may be left of America.

Barack asked God to bless Planned Parenthood at the same time Kermit Gosnell was on trial for brutally murdering babies in Pennsylvania. Moral absurdity seems obvious here, but not to Barack Obama.

Absurdities make for exuberant and heightened conversation and debate; but when there is no money for bare essentials, the rap will dry up instantly. The ‘good’ according to Romans 8: 28 (an awakening of conscience) will then start to come forth like the squeezing of the lemon, so sour – but so necessary.

Obama: Abortion Foes Want The 50s

abortion is not health care Obama: Abortion Foes Want the 50s

 

The almost bone jarring contrast of Obama’s speech at Planned Parenthood freezes every normal sense of credulity in unbelief.  The story of one baby born alive in the Pennsylvanias’ Gosnell horror mill is that the child was swimming in a toilet trying to get out. It was pulled from the toilet only to have its spinal cord snipped while the mother was still in the room.

Yes, Mr. Obama – give us the 50s – any day.

The main stream media reported that Obama delayed his now famous (or infamous) speech at Planned Parenthood so he could visit and console the families of those who lost loved ones in the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion.

It seemed for a moment that the president had a heart and perhaps he could put some priorities in order. That is called PR or in a far more honest vein it is pure propaganda.

After hearing of the horrors and murders in Pennsylvania under Dr. Gosnell we may be better served to see the president skip both visits and instead visit the Gosnell clinic for a pause and a prayer – if the ghosts of those murdered there would allow it.

Had he visited the clinic on the day the baby was swimming in the toilet, would he have pulled it out and demanded its life be preserved? Would he in a moment of honest conscience stood with the helpless?

Mr. Obama has already answered that question. In the speech made at Planned Parenthood he clearly stated where he would stand. He said “You’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way.” Fox News April 26, 2013

Mr. Obama sees himself as leading the nation into the 21st century and justifies his abortion stand as protecting women’s health. We can only wonder if he skipped every biology class ever offered in high school and college. Being pregnant is not a health problem and living perfectly viable unborn human beings; in or out of the mother’s womb, don’t have any health problems, unless the will to live is now considered unhealthy.

Yes, we’ll take the 50s any day, when pregnancy was not a health problem and no president would be found fighting for the freedom to kill the unborn.

Much about the 50s was all that was ever right with America. Women didn’t think they were in a war with conservatives, but knew they were only in a war with over eager young men, who usually lost which in turn produced a situation where there was no need for an abortion. Yeah, we’ll take those days.

We will also take the 50s presidents who left a legacy for us rather than a stream of blood from our own offspring.

President Truman who took up after Franklin Roosevelt from 1950 to 1952 faced and reigned in the reckless power of the corrupt unions instead of coddling them to buy votes as Barack Obama has done. He also gave us the Truman Doctrine which served to halt the expansion of communism in Eastern Europe. Mr. Obama has brought more communistic socialism into a once free nation than any president in history.

From 1953 to 1961 we were graced with one of the best presidents in our history. Eisenhower knew the strategies and planning it would take to win the greatest war in history. Mr. Obama doesn’t understand the war on terror and can’t discern between an act of terrorism and ‘work place violence’ as the Fort Hood massacre resplendently illustrates.

Obama has given us failed green projects like Solyndra and bailouts while Eisenhower built the nations highway system, being used to this day.

Americans have rated Eisenhower among the top ten presidents of all time. Only liberals would dare to put Mr. Obama anywhere on the ratings scale.

Don’t make light of the 50s, but hang your head in shame for even suggesting that those days of yore can be legitimately compared to anything you have accomplished in almost five years in office.

The 50s is when the phrase from our Declaration of Independence actually had some meaning, namely “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”

Everything this administration has pursued ends in death and little or no happiness for anyone in this nation, let’s see.

Taxing the rich – death of free enterprise

Running guns to Mexico – death for border patrolmen

Dropping bombs from drones – death of non-combatant people including Americans Ignoring cries for help for embassies under attack – death for our ambassador and several brave U.S. Servicemen

The fight to abort perfectly healthy unborn children – death on a grand scale, 60 million and still counting!

Obamacare – death or at least the suggestion of it in assisted suicide counseling

Fighting the Canadian pipeline – death to ending our dependence on foreign oil from flighty nations and some of our worst enemies

Reckless spending – death to the fiscal wellbeing of the future generation and any hope of financial recovery.

Promotion of the gay agenda and same sex marriage – death to all morality, and the oldest God given convention since the beginning of time.

Yes, Mr. President the 50s looks pretty good standing next to you.

Share Your Faith To Become An ‘Enemy Of The Constitution?’

Flickr Creative Commons Greendyker No Christianity logo Share Your Faith to Become an ‘Enemy of the Constitution?’

Only days after Barack Obama coined the phrase ‘self-radicalized,’ along comes anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation with a bone-jarring proposition to make criminals and worse out of any military servicemen who share their faith in Christ with others in their ranks.

Adding a new category to the ever-burgeoning list of PC-generated phobias, now we may add the term ‘fundamentalist-phobia’ to help America become a nation of properly-parsing phenoms who fantasize that America is under attack by mere words and phrases.

With Korea threatening to nuke us, Iran threatening to nuke everyone, and anti-American sentiment on the rise everywhere else, it seems good to know we have finally identified the real enemy – the fundamentalist Christians who share their faith. If we hurry to criminalize, prosecute, and put them all in jail, the nation has a fighting chance. (No, I am not trying to get a job as a staff writer for Mad Magazine, and no humor is intended here.) This is America today!

In a Huffington Post article, Weinstein said, “Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.”

Atheist activism coupled with liberalism is being boosted and spurred by the policies of the White House these days, but the use of the word ‘weaponized’ has connotations of extremism written all over it.

What a twist. The moral guides of the scripture such as the clear teaching that homosexuality is sinful and perverted are now considered by secular liberals to be metaphorical or anachronistic at best. But the one reference to Christians being armed, which is metaphorical (Eph 6: 13-19), is now taken as literal. The deep confusion Godlessness creates has never been more apparent.

Weinstein’s radicalism has been noted and condemned by many people and organizations, and Citizen Link’s Judicial Analyst Bruce Hausknecht has said that the Congress should reject the extremism in these views. The Family Research Council has started a petition drive to ask Defense Sec. Chuck Hagel to refuse to engage Weinstein in military policy-making.

Weinstein said “This is a national security threat. What is happening…is spiritual rape and what the Pentagon needs to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.” Speaking generally, Feinstein used words like “rape”, “sedition,” and “treason”; but on a more personal level, he referred to Franklin Graham (son of Evangelist Billy Graham) in even lower terms. He said Graham “is a fundamentalist – a total enemy of the Constitution – an absolutely incredible Islamophobe.”

Obama’s handpicked advisor to Chuck Hagel seems to be a self-radicalized person rather than a good choice to be advising anyone at any level of government. Why are we no longer surprised by Obama appointees?

Be it the Pentagon, Hagel, or Weinstein, two things will become apparent to them all in short notice.

Firstly, if Feinstein can successfully push the Pentagon to adopt his obvious onslaught of the constitutional freedom of religion in the military, untold thousands will not be seeking to serve in the future.

Secondly, the new rules will be tested in several ways on a legal basis; also, those who have heard the great commission and take it seriously will be forced to obey it first. Long before there was a Commander in Chief or a Pentagon, believers were given this command; it is in effect to this day, to wit:

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Mt 28: 19, 20)

In the over 200-year long tradition of faith in the military, there have been many stories of brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen who depended on their faith in desperately dangerous moments and who also share that faith with others in the most critical moments of their lives. Will one angry atheist be allowed to dismiss and discontinue all of this on a liberally-based and perhaps demonically-inspired whim? It must not happen.

We can only speculate what the military would look like when combatants are found in extreme danger, rather than sharing their faith and praying; will they hold hands, cuddle, and maybe even kiss each other? Don’t worry; I’m not a self-radicalized person because I think this sounds as crazy as you do.

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has already begun an investigation into the statements issued by the DoD to clarify the meanings of their original statements.

Obama Applies PC Band-Aid To Boston Terrorism

Barack Obama speech 4 SC Obama Applies PC Band Aid to Boston Terrorism

April 15, 2013, Boston, Massachusetts: The Boston Marathon, one of the only six world marathon majors and the oldest marathon in the world, was interrupted by terrorist bombs exploding at the finish line.

Three people are reported dead, and between 130 and 144 people have been hurt, maimed, or seriously injured. Some spectators have lost limbs, and early reports said two brothers both have lost their legs.

After promising that the full resources of the government would be brought to bear on the bombings, including the FBI and Homeland Security, Mr. Obama called the terrorist act a tragedy.

Obama said, “Boston police, firefighters, and first responders as well as the National Guard responded heroically, and continue to do so as we speak. It’s a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on our behalf every single day, without regard to their own safety, in dangerous and difficult circumstances. And we salute all those who assisted in responding so quickly and professionally to this tragedy.”

The President was quick to say that “We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts.” The President’s cautionary note was ignored by CNN analyst Peter Bergen, who said “al-Qaida often uses hydrogen peroxide explosives – while another explosion might signal that a “right-wing extremist” was involved.”

Between the president’s use of the word ‘tragedy’ and Bergen’s use of the phrase “right wing extremist,” we see a leaning toward excusing any Muslim extremist before anything at all has been determined about who is responsible for planting the bombs in Boston.

In spite of the fact that every major act of terrorism around the world (even prior to 9/11) has been planned and conducted by Muslim extremists, it doesn’t keep the left and the democratically controlled media from taking their licks against the conservatives, even if it is only a suggestion. Apparently, CNN decided not to take the president’s warning to move slowly very seriously.

Reza Kahlili, a journalist and contributor to WND, has been warning that Muslim extremists have agreed to attack western targets, including sports gatherings. Kahlili has written several articles that explain the Muslim commitment to these attacks and has written a book entitled “A Time to Betray,” published by Simon Shuster.

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly has been the only news anchor so far to make note of the presidents use of the word ‘tragedy’ rather than labeling the despicable act as a clear act of terrorism. O’Reilly also said that the president should recognize that the slaughter of children and innocent people is an ‘act of war’ – not a tragedy.

The historian Tacitus proclaimed that Nero hid himself in a huge house in the center of Rome called the “Golden House” while Rome burned to the ground. He suggested that Nero later diverted the blame for the burning by blaming the Christians who were tortured into confessing to the crime.

Is history repeating itself? As the Commander in Chief emerges from the comfort of the White House to proclaim a horrible terrorist act a mere ‘tragedy,’ and well watched news sources suggest it was disgruntled Americans who may have been culpable, what’s next?

In Egypt and other Muslim nations, Christian churches have been bombed. Iran has arrested and tortured Christians (including Pastor Saeed Abedini, who is an American citizen); but as yet, no one has found churches or Christian ministries anywhere in the world planning terrorist attacks.

It is here we may want to ask if the mainstream media is living in a fairy tale world and if Barack Obama is the fairy godmother in charge of sugar coated words and delightful explanations.

What is reasonable and respectable at this juncture is prayers and condolences for the victims and families of the act of terror. Wimpy, wobbling wordings from the White House and irresponsible journalism given to politicking this attack are obscene and irresponsible.

America: 40 Years Preparing To Live Without God

Flickr Creative Commons Greendyker No Christianity logo America: 40 years Preparing to Live without God

For a generation, our academics, social activists, liberal politicians, and Tinsel Town tramps have been engaged in pushing God out of the national consciousness. They have made great strides and have only a few big hurdles left. One is same sex marriage; the other is – judgment.

Extreme, you say? Just look at these headlines ripped from the news cycle on just one single day. If these headlines don’t clinch it for you, wait a few days and look again; they are coming faster now than a tsunami.

  • Watch this unhinged bully stomp all over pro-life signs at Ohio State Catholic Gonzaga
  • University won’t allow Catholic students to form Catholic group
  • Inmates taped doing drugs, brandishing gun in New Orleans
  • Rapper is really sorry for lyrics about date rape that you interpreted as lyrics about date rape
  • Criminal justice professor arrested three times — in March — for drugs, child porn
  • Army Training Material on ‘Religious Extremism’ Lists Evangelical Christians, Catholics, and Some Jews alongside KKK, Al-Qaeda, and Hamas
  • Cringe-Inducing: MSNBC Host Uses Young Daughter to Push Gay Marriage, Asks Her If She’d ‘Marry a Girl’
  • Why I Want Picture of Jesus Removed from Public School
  • You’re a White Supremacist if You Oppose Abortion
  • FCC May Allow ‘Brief’ Nudity, More Cursing on Broadcast TV
  • Major general stripped of position over sexual allegations
  • Obama, The Narcissist-In-Chief, Mentions Himself 7 Times In 269 Word Passover Message

These headlines are not meant to make us feel sick – they are the evidence that we are sick.

We have decided that the empty space or the omissions in the Constitution are a good place to put in every sleazy idea we can come up with. The founders could not have seen this generation coming when they penned the greatest civil document in world history – the Constitution.

We have called the Bible a book full of contradictions and spurious authenticity while ignoring the flaming contradictions known as our own lives.

The church has wimped into apostasy and backtracking and doesn’t seem to notice that Jesus long ago warned that doing so would make us unfit for the kingdom, the calling, and the coming rewards. We are quickly becoming the salt that has lost its savor and is only good for the trash. (Mt 5: 13)

While the world is having a fit, the Christians have decided to have their own fit. “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Lk 9: 62)

Good theologians and expositors shy away from using such a metaphor when explaining the most essential meaning of scripture. There are some cases in which the meaning would be lost without some simile and metaphor.

Metaphorically speaking the lions, wolves, and leopards in the following verse are the headlines you have just read in one day’s news. This is what our backsliding nation is producing for itself:

“Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.” (Jer 5: 6)

Social dysfunction, moral depravity, and perversion is a seething cesspool of excretory waste that even after being re-branded as ‘political correctness’ is wafting its odorous stench across the nation like a wave of slow death.

It is not just the pot calling the kettle black but is now the pot denying that the luminous Holy Creator God who provided the iron ore, or the clay, to make the pot doesn’t even exist!

Funny thing about pots: whether iron or clay, they really ought not to strive with their maker.

“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?” (Isa 45: 9)

But alas, that is exactly what we are doing on a national scale. How will that end? According to Revelation, that book of warning about man’s last gasps at self-rule, it does not end well.

If you don’t like this answer, you can always resort to a liberal politician, a gay person, or a God-hating atheist for a more pleasing answer. Even this writer has to admit that lies do work pretty well – for a time. Sadly, time is running out.

“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.” (Re 2: 25-27)

Wise Up, Mr. O’Reilly

Bill OReilly SC Wise Up, Mr. OReilly

 

On Tuesday evening, Laura Ingraham was seen slouching back in her chair in an exhausted pose in response to Bill O’Reilly’s defense of the term ‘bible thumper.’ Ingraham, a regular substitute host anchor for O’Reilly, couldn’t get a word in edgewise; and when she did, it was only to state once again that the term may have offended or berated people who trust the bible.

Mr. O’Reilly is not helping the ratings, and he is not the first to knock some of the audiences off the grid. A recent announcement by Fox News’ president Roger Ailes to move Fox away from the right and back to center was the first hit to the ratings, and some sources have noted a 22 percent decline in audiences.

The second dark cloud forming in the wings is the Tea Party’s call to boycott Fox because they refuse to discuss serious matters like the Benghazi scandal and the findings of Sheriff Arpaio’s cold case posse on the fraudulent documents of President Obama. Lots of evidence and questions have been raised by the Sheriff, but not a peep has been heard by Fox and friends.

When Bill decided to call Christians who read their bibles and stand by them ‘thumpers,’ he crossed a line that even Ailes may not fully understand.

Get a proper definition, O’Reilly.

A Harvard education and a Catholic background may have insulated Mr. O’Reilly from hearing the term; but in protestant circles, it is a familiar term and not very appreciated. But we have only to check a few sources to see what the term means.

“Originating from typically southern US fundamentalist Christian sects given to evangelizing in a very outgoing, rambunctious way, often characterized by a religious bigot standing on a street corner, with or without foam around his mouth, shouting about how we should all turn to Christ, whilst vigorously thumping his soft covered bible for emphasis.” Urban Dictionary

“(U.S.) someone perceived as aggressively imposing their Christian beliefs upon others. The term derives from preachers thumping their hands down on the Bible to emphasize a point during a sermon. The term’s target domain is broad and can often extend to anyone engaged in a public show of religion, fundamentalist or not. The term is most commonly used in English-speaking countries” Wikipedia

“an overzealous advocate of Christian fundamentalism” Merriam-Webster

“Bible thumper is a slur used against particularly vocal Christians who constantly quote the Bible when discussing non-Biblical topics (often about science, but also about homophobia, porn, etc.). The term comes from old-timey circuit preachers who would emphatically thump a bible held aloft while making their points.” Rational Wiki

In today’s world, we don’t need a plane trip back to the ivy-covered halls of Harvard for a visit to her splendid libraries, but just a few clicks on Google to see if we are misusing a word or a common phrase. The word of the day, Mr. O’Reilly, is ‘Bible Thumper’; go look it up.

At least be true to your own religion, Bill!

Newly elected Pope Francis and his predecessor Ratzinger both stand against same sex marriages and see them as morally bankrupt, perverted, and a direct assault on family life throughout the world. Are they thumping their Catholic bibles or at the least their Catholic doctrine?

Pope Francis, in fact, has produced the loudest ‘thump’ heard ’round the world in his declaration that same-sex marriage is “a move of the father of lies” and “a total rejection of God’s laws.” Consistency is called for if you are going to proclaim you are a Catholic.

Thanks for the work on Megan’s Law; but long before it, there was God’s law. And if it were adhered to, and obeyed – there would be no need for Megan’s law. We need more ‘bible thumping’, Mr. O’Reilly – not less.

The magical mystery, higher reasoning argument does not exist.

When opinions, higher reasoning, and all the intellectual ramblings of man have come and gone, mankind will stand and face a judge who will use only one criterion to weigh each individual.

“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (Jn 12: 48)

Using some philosophical argument to answer the rise in perverted interests would be futile, but it would also be direct defiance to the word of God. It isn’t an argument men need; there are already endless arguments in the world and on the Factor. It is trust in a source that cannot be moved; it is adherence to the wisdom of the following:

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col 2: 8, 9)

If the Bible, the Pope, and every good gospel preacher and apolegeticist are thumping a message of rejection for same-sex marriage, should we look to the arguments of academics, politicians, and pundits to answer the most pressing question of our generation?

It is here where you need to see that what we want to see, coming from our ‘humble correspondent,’ is not the explanation of where the spin stops; but we want to see where the apology begins.

Barack Obama: A Case Of Identity Crisis

Obama Communist SC Barack Obama: A Case of Identity Crisis

Reprobation is a condition of moral confusion that the scriptures say will be pervasive in the last days of time as we know it. (Romans 1: 27-32) It is a result of spiritual deprivation that always accompanies moral decline according to every historical record of man. Nations rise and fall on the outcome of this powerful and recurring social and spiritual malady.

In this clouded nether region of convoluted thinking, identifying exactly who leaders are is part and parcel to the confusion entire generations have concerning their own identities. Teens are thought to rebel and act out largely because they are struggling to ascertain their own identities.

We are not sure if politicians are crooks or statesmen, Republicans or RINO’s. Is the cop a public servant or a mobster; is the teacher an educator or a molester? Is the sports hero a role model or a drug abuser? Our failure to properly identify people is often discovered far too late. Is it too late to discover who is leading us today, or who led us to the truth in the past? We are moving dangerously close to a simple “yes” on that question. Let’s see.

In a day when minds were less muddled, a day Jesus called a “green tree” (Lk 23: 31), the single most important question ever asked was laid upon the band of twelve men who followed him daily. It was the question of the hour, and it is still the single most important question of all time. It is a question of identity.

“When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” (Mt 16: 13)

His followers gave him a mixed answer that included the various opinions of the entire community. It was much like a blog response where every viewpoint is voiced, but none are definitive or completely authoritative. The disciples told Jesus that some of the people thought he was a prophet or the reincarnation of John the Baptist. Many of the people thought he was a fake and a charlatan and possibly demon-possessed. (Jn 8: 48)

Christ told them to get off the opinions of men and answer the question for themselves. In an answer as clear as the sky, the Apostle Peter answered the question in no uncertain terms for himself and those who followed Christ from day to day observing his speech and the many miracles he did.

“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Mt 16: 15, 16)

In this day of the – “dry tree,” (2 Ti 3: 1-7), identity confusion reigns but is most apparent in the strong varying views of just who our President really is. A list of seven possible identities barely covers the full range of identity questions for Barack Obama, but it is a start.

1. Is he a good old American prez or a communist? Many people think his economic policies, which tend to favor government care for all but little help for entrepreneurs and capitalists, is a clear sign that his proclivities are communistic. But none could speak with more authority than the former communists. Author Xavier Lerma, writing in Russia’s online version of Pravda, formerly the voice of communism in the old Soviet Union, compares Russian President Putin to Ronald Reagan while Obama is seen as an old line communist in policy and vision.

2. Is our president a family man or the first gay president? Newsweek emblazoned the artistically-produced likeness of Barack Obama (with a halo) on its cover with the caption “The First Gay President” in May of 2012. Gay blogger Andrew Sullivan wrote the cover story after Obama told the nation he supports gay marriage. Sullivan said Obama’s proclamation brought him to tears, even as those who understand the scriptural teaching on homosexuality were brought to tears for altogether different reasons.

3. World Net Daily’s introduction to the January Whistleblower edition said that the often-asked question about whether Obama is a Muslim has been “one of the most radioactive questions surrounding his presidency.” While no Muslim country has yet nailed Barack as a hardline Sunni or Shia Muslim, the hope he chooses to place in the Muslim Brotherhood movements in the Arab world indicate where his affections lie. If recent events in Benghazi are any reflection of Obama’s Muslim-ness, we are forced to conclude that in a showdown, American interests, her citizens, and her constitution may not count for much.

4. Is the President as genuine as a gold dollar on the bite, or is he an incredible fake? According to Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his posse, Mr. Obama is a total fraud. What was once a single issue known as the ‘birther’s question’ has burgeoned into a mystery of epic proportions. Now it’s missing school records, a fraudulent social security number, a forged selective service record, and a bevy of forensic experts claiming that the birth certificate is as phony as a three dollar bill. Just about anyone with an ounce of casual curiosity could hardly pass by all of these blaring inconsistencies without raising an eyebrow. And yet millions of voters did just that, only a few short months past.

In crowd-conscious America, what would be the easiest: to push a few conspiracy theorists off into a corner and label them all as paranoid kooks, or get over 62 million liberal-leaning voters to admit they have been willfully defrauded?

5. The question of whether Mr. Obama is a law-abiding citizen is now lost in a storm of impeachment threats, investigations, and accusations. Obama has kept lawmakers in the dark on everything from the ‘unified agenda’ to the facts about the gun-running circus called ‘Fast and Furious.’ A one-man government may look a lot better if it is run by a pop culture icon; but it is by any other name, just another dictatorship.

6. As an economist, Barack has broken all records. He has promised recovery and claimed to put America back to work even as the jobless rate soars and trillions of dollars of debt are rising like a tsunami threatening the very existence of the nation. His cavalier spending mentality almost succeeded but for the full resistance of the Republican-controlled house.

Laying another three trillion dollars on the nation was followed by whisking himself back to Hawaii to finish his vacation on the taxpayer’s dime. It is a dime estimated at 20 million dollars. Using taxpayer’s money to tour the globe, while raising taxes on citizens, goes far beyond an identity crisis. Is Mr. Obama an economist or a rank amateur with a Robin Hood syndrome bordering on the psychotic? You decide.

7. Many people around the nation have wondered if Mr. Obama is the dreaded but well prophesied antichrist. Not a week passes for this writer where I am not found addressing that question for someone. No, I don’t think he is the antichrist; but should I be wrong, I can safely say it is a bit too soon to tell.

Inasmuch as he has directly opposed the Word of God (supporting the gay agenda and abortion), he is according to the Apostle John, at the very least, an antichrist.

John said: “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1Jn 2: 18)

I would go on record for saying that if Mr. Obama is in office at the time antichrist is revealed, he will most likely welcome him into the world’s political arena as an innovator and statesman of extraordinary ability.

The Bible says the antichrist will be aided by a figure called the false prophet. He takes little or no credit for himself but instructs the world to give all allegiance and submission to his guide and mentor, the antichrist. I think it is far more likely that Obama could be this man. Outlandish? Not when you consider that identity crisis queen Oprah called Obama “The One” and actor Jamie Foxx called him “our Lord and Savior.” My estimation is both probable and far more honest.

America is in an identity crisis herself; and the only question remaining is – if we cease to be America, exactly what will we be?

Prophecy Has No Entertainment Value, But Piers Morgan Does

Piers Morgan SC Prophecy Has No Entertainment Value, but Piers Morgan Does

During an interview with mega-pastor Rick Warren on CNN, host Piers Morgan exclaimed that the Bible and the U.S. Constitution are ‘inherently flawed.’ Perhaps Morgan, like many liberals of the day, are tired of being told that it is they, along with the rest of humanity, which are inherently flawed with something the bible calls the sin nature. (Romans 3: 23)

No one escapes this moral malady, but many today would like to have it all be explained away by scientists, apostate ministers and priests and every yellow journalist that jubilantly justifies their jaundiced junk jibe through the media, and the internet. But according to the bible, the message will not go away until the very return of the Lord Jesus Christ in victory.

After adopting swelling titles and tagging their names with letters, the scientist, who can neither prove or disprove the existence of God, have broken out to become the high priests and ultimate authorities of all things.

God cannot fit into the three pound mass of gray matter that resides atop their shoulders, but they presume to gather all the secrets of the universe in this receptacle and proceed to divulge such things as the origin of species, the big bang theory and the ever expanding universe. With or without being able to prove their own conclusions they have authorized themselves quite beyond the doubting or disputations of the dumbed down minions, proselytes and victims of the Dewey system of modern education they haply lead.

It is unlikely that those who presume to tell us what happened eight billion years ago will have any idea when the prophesied arrival of the antichrist, that final world ruler empowered by the god of this world, will come on the scene. Most scientist of the day, have no idea what the last election in America really means, the future is a mythical mist in which man pulls himself up to the stars by shear technological genius, at the same time never once noting their ever descending trek into all that is perverted, wicked and Godless is far outpacing their technological advances.

Forget the idea that politics and religion don’t mix, politics can’t even get the attention of the scientist unless it is some fake farcical pseudo-scientific cause like the dangers of global warming. Some say were going toward a big freeze while others insist were about to get toasted.

Will a scientist warn the world that the moral deprivation of a nation or the world has heated up to the point of ignition? Don’t hold your breath, just go out and hug a tree, praise a wind generator or plug in your Chevy Volt while a generation with a head full of stars, goes to hell in a hand basket.

It is here where we see just why God chose prophets, preachers and his own kind of messengers to make such proclamations. It is also at this point that we are forced to reiterate the fact that God does not ask his messengers to prove anything; he has already proven it in the life, ministry, death and resurrection of his son Jesus Christ. All his messengers are told to do is, proclaim it. (Mt 28: 18f)

Jesus Christ has clearly shown mankind not only who he is, but that he loves mankind. Conversely the god of this world (Satan) has chosen to remain clandestine and unknown; it is the secret of his power to have mankind ignorant of his ways and his very existence. What is no secret is that he has no love for mankind, but he knows he is already judged and seeks to take as many unsuspecting men and women with him to his final destination.

The opposite picture is painted by Christ who wants his own to know of his existence and what he plans for us in the future. It is not stupidity, but the sin nature, wickedness and that old pillar called self that keeps man in darkness, Satan would not have it any other way. Christ said “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” (Jn 15: 15)

It is not the absence of a thousand points of light that brings man down, but the presence of two points of darkness. One is to be ignorant or unbelieving to the gospel of Christ which is God’s sole way of redeeming the souls of men. The other, especially in this late hour of time, is ignorance of the voluminous warnings of that part of scripture we call prophecy.

The promised return of the Lord Jesus Christ to bring judgment to the earth is no hidden doctrine, but is replete with signs, and pictures of a generation that will have reached its peak in wholesale worldwide apostasy and full blown sinfulness throughout the world. The apostate church will be seeking its ‘best life now’ and the world will be into its worst behaviors yet, all at the same time life will become cheap, love will be lost and faith in the God who created everything will be at an all-time low.

Making fun of such prophetic warnings has begun, but it is no surprise, it is itself, part of the prophecies. In reality prophecy has no entertainment value at all. There is nothing funny, amusing or attractive about it. Mocking prophecy is not new.

Ancients laughed at Noah as he dragged giant planks of gopher wood into the desert to build an ark. The newly delivered band of Israelites who escaped the oppression of Egypt wasted no time and began to dance and party in the long absence of Moses who was busy talking with God on Mt. Sinai. Big traditional celebrations accompanied the Jewish calendar with attendance from proselytes from around the world. As these times of mirth and celebration were going on, God’s prophets were stoned, jailed, thrown in mud pits and slain because they were warning that the temple and the temple system together could not substitute for being holy and dedicated to God.

King Solomon, who declared that there was no new thing under the sun must have contemplated the nature of fallen man and in some way he saw that even in the future, men would mock the prophetic, even as they partied themselves into a collective stupor. In 70 AD the party abruptly ended, and there has been no temple or partying since. Something far more serious than the events of 70 AD is nearing the history of mankind today.

Peter commenting on man’s persistence in making merry while dismissing the prophetic said, “That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” (2 Peter 2: 2-4)

It may seem entertaining to hear Piers Morgan attempting to void God’s word and the constitution in this day where nothing is sacred. It might almost seem funny to hear the gays have yanked every verse of the bible about the sin of homosexuality and produced their own, ‘Queen James” version, but there is nothing at all even remotely humorous in this warning. To wit:

“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.” (Rev 11: 18)

Prophetic warnings may seem weakened because of a few foolish ministers who decide to name dates against the warning of Christ who said no man will know the exact day or hour of his return. Likewise the passing of the new millennium or the much touted Mayan calendar may embolden the scoffers, but the prophetic remains on course. Not even Piers Morgan can do much about that.

Journalist Megan McArdle of the Daily Beast doesn’t think Morgan is funny at all. In a scathing article entitled, ‘Should Piers Morgan Be Deported?’ Dec 27, 2012 she said, “I mean, yes, it is a little bit funny to picture the President explaining why we’re not going to deport Piers Morgan: you can imagine the scene appearing in a dark comedy. But then it stops being funny because America is not supposed to be dark comedy; it’s our actual country.”

Along the same lines, as it pertains to the evil spirit that troubles this world, Satan, his minions and all those who follow him will one day be deported directly to hell. In the interim, all the evil and perversion that is done here is not funny because, after all, this is our actual world!

Christmas And Abortion – The Oil And Water Of Our Generation

Abortion Protestor SC Christmas and Abortion – The Oil and Water of Our Generation

In a few days, we will observe Christmas for 2012. For many Americans, this Christmas is just a bit sadder than previous years. The terrible event that took place in an elementary school in Connecticut has sobered the season; and surely no one who has heard of it has not been emotionally moved in some way.

A writer in Poland took a great deal of criticism when he likened the abortions in that country to the lost children in the Sandy Hook School. Long before I heard of the Polish writer’s remarks, I said this in my last article entitled “Sandy Hook Shooting: Let’s Dump the Psychological Doubletalk”:

Be it Sandy Hook or Roe v. Wade – is deciding that some human beings will not be allowed to take their first breath – any less horrid than deciding which ones should take their last?

Yes, I do believe that if we banned the doctor’s saline solutions, needles, forceps, and scalpels found in America’s abortion clinics, we would save more lives than banning guns. Sixty million lives lost to abortion since 1973 is the proof that my math is correct.

I never would believe that in my lifetime, I would have to compare one of the worst tragedies in our history to another equally horrible thing to make a point. But the point is made – and the point stands.

Taking away children is never OK with God, whether it is done by a crazed person in a school or a doctor in a sterile abortion clinic. Why can’t we see this?

God wants to give us children, not take them away. Our refusal to receive them as great gifts of life is the surest indication that our nation is in serious decline along with the rest of the world.

“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.” (Psalm 127: 3, 4)

God’s introduction of a child as a gift is clearly seen in his own birth and the attending proclamations accompanying it provided by angels, prophets, wise men, and humble shepherds.

The forces of evil have always tried to curb or completely stop the introduction of new life, but never more so than today.

The mighty Prophet Isaiah said “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa 9: 6)

Until that promised day when Christ will re-enter the history of man and assume the throne to rule over the nations, the message, the reminder, and the hope of mankind has been announced, not by the removal of children but by the introduction of one very special child.

Not just a child in a manger, he was God in the flesh. Not just another prophet, but the very Savior of the world. God introduced the very ‘way the truth and the life ‘ (John 14: 6) by giving this world a child, not by taking one away. When will we see this?

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given”

Sen. Rubio’s Earth Isn’t About Science; It’s About Silence

Marco Rubio Official SC Sen. Rubio’s Earth Isn’t about Science; it’s about Silence

Huff-Po and the pop-culture scoffers seem unnerved of late over Sen. Marco Rubio’s statement about the mystery of the age of the planet earth. He told GQ’s Michael Hainey that many theories have been put forth, and all of them might be worthy of a look see. GQ spends more time on deciding who will make the list of ‘men of the year’ and the plague of erectile dysfunction, so just when did they take up the deep scientific question of origins?

The criticism of Sen. Rubio’s statements is at best hyper-dismissiveness, wrapped in a thin veneer of intellectual pride posing as reason. It is not simply pop-science that the emerging creation science speaks to, but it is every assertion of science that is accepted without deeper or even other scrutiny. For any science to be legitimate, it must grow up as it were and be willing to undergo a greater scrutiny; today’s Darwinism is not in any way allowing an alternate view or considering the latest discoveries and pertinent data. In this, and the slights against Rubio, the word “dilettante” comes to mind.

Perhaps the readers of Huff and GQ have little time between school, cool, and deciding who is a fool to actually question the speculated 4.5 billion years scientists have announced as the right number of years to create and age the earth. Is scoffing now an element of empiricism? Have the heady taken up juvenile sliming to polish the rust spots in highly disputable scientific speculation? Creation Science has a lot to say about bloated, untested, un-witnessed speculation; but the Darwin train left the station long ago, and the evolutionists won’t be back to better reasoning for a long time.

It is nothing short of amazing that evolutionists need almost 5 billion years to explain or age one of the smallest planets in the universe, but only a three-second blast to create the whole universe at the unlikely event known as  the big bang. That the un-created gases should all come into the same neighborhood at the most propitious moment in history and react sounds more like someone had a serious bang to the head and a theory emerged. If these are the people laughing at the God believers, we might want to just ignore them rather than waste time in debate.

The greater likelihood is that the academically indoctrinated and dumbed-down cookie cutter punch-outs are moving preemptively against a brilliant and popular Senator who, after all, may be on the Republican list for a 2016 run at the White House. It isn’t about science; it’s about silence.

Keeping anything Rubio says silent is obviously the goal. Rubio clearly stated “I’m not a scientist”, but that is not what they care about. They didn’t need to ask him if he was a politician, a statesman, or a contender; that’s understood.

Not understanding either divinity or the power divinity holds is part and parcel to all secularism, whether it is brought on by indoctrination, indifference, or a need to stay within culturally accepted social parameters. It is what keeps the pseudo-scientists from explaining how the gases for the big bang came into being in a creator-less universe.

It is what keeps the self-assured from knowing how eyes, withered limbs, missing flesh (lepers), and other maladies that would require months or years to re-invigorate were replaced in seconds when Jesus Christ prayed over the diseased.

It is the absence of any explanation for the production of enough bread and seafood to feed 5,000 people coming from only a few loaves and fishes. No fishing vessels were sent out, and no bakeries were engaged; and the time to produce all these victuals was perhaps 15 minutes.

Nobody can remember when, where, or how long it took to create the world; but Jesus invoked the power of memory to witness the lightning speed of the power of God in the miracle of the loaves and fishes. To wit:

Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? (Mt 6: 19)

I have taken the time to remember and have long since formed this opinion, and I have no intention to run for any office in my lifetime. Those who think God could not and would not create our world in seven days or seven thousand years have yet once again underestimated the power of the almighty God. He could and would, if he chose, create this world in seven seconds.

The extra time may have been taken just to make sure all the goods and gifts of creation were here for us, the unbelieving, the un-thankful, and believer alike. Unlike the evolutionists, I am willing to admit that this is purely speculative; but my guess is as good as theirs!

It is almost impossible to explain to those who will not hear that man will always take the path of least resistance. Adding dignity and perhaps some credence to certain discoveries through science often is just manipulation of the facts and a lot of ‘just trust me’ coming from authorities.

We look at all the facts to determine if they are correct; but when a predisposition driven by human pride is in play, we accept conjecture and speculation from science. And the scientists become very authoritarian, priest-like inquisitors and judges who sit and decide against those who not only dare to think, but whose empirical findings are in conflict with the status quo.

People of faith are not allowed to question any part of scientific conclusion, and scientific authoritarians refuse to accept any part of the faith message. The scientists seem to have won at the very same time they have lost everything. Truth, subjective or objective, cannot always be empirically determined. Thus, when placed up against prophecy (the forth-telling of the will and counsel of God), science will always come up short.

This writer has always been amazed at the preponderance of speculation used by scientists today. No one dares to question them on the smallest matters, much less the very creation of the universe. Any speculation about what took place billions of years past would be missing any eye witnesses and untold decayed, deterioration, and non-existent proof for modern eyes to subject to repeatable observable scrutiny. It is the echo of God’s answer to Job that comes to mind:

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. (Job 38: 2, 3, 4)

How pompous that now science has presumed to determine not just who is intelligent but who has character, who is qualified to be a statesmen or a leader. My answer to this nonsense is simple: the scientists are now cleared to come down out of the clouds and come in for a landing.
