The Sanctity of Life

Marjorie Margolies

This is Sanctity of Life month. That was the title of the Sermon this morning at TLBC. Go to the website and listen to the audio of the message. We don't always agree with Catholic dogma but when they stand for the Sanctity of Life, we believe that is a correct position and we were surprised to hear what one of their traditionally pro-life schools has done.

While thousands of pro-life Americans prepare to attend the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., the Jesuit University of Scranton, located in Pennsylvania, makes very different preparations.

Former Congresswoman and avowed abortion advocate Marjorie Margolies has been invited to give the keynote speech at the University of Scranton’s Ready to Run: Campaign Training for Women program. The event is scheduled on January 28, according to the university’s web site.

On January 13, the bishop of Scranton, the Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera, issued a formal statement and asked that the invitation be withdrawn. But his request was rebuffed by university officials.

"Any president whose actions so consistently refute his own words must have deep contempt for the intelligence of the American public."

The obama administration told U.S. owned Hawker Beechcraft earlier this week they are being excluded from bidding on the US Air Force contract for a light attack aircraft. That leaves Brazilian owned Embraer as the likely recipient of the lucrative deal. I found this one hard to believe so I did a little research. It was tough because this was completely ignored by the main stream media. The information is out there on several conservative sites. Please see the two articles linked below.

This is a double slap in the face of the United States. At a time when jobs, the economy, and security are the most critical priorities for our country, the Obama administration decides to send a defense contract to a foreign owned company.
This has to be the stupidest thing this administration has done to date. This is not just a dumb decision, it is a perfect example of why this president is such a poor leader. He talks about wanting jobs. He says we need to force companies to repatriate billions of dollars that Americans keep overseas. He wants to raise taxes so he can spend billions on stimulus that does nothing to stimulate anything.
And when it’s time to act, he sends our tax dollars overseas at the expense of American jobs and income for an American company. This is nothing more than a Chicago-style political pay back; but this time it is at the expense of our national security.

How much more damage will obama be allowed to do in the next 14 months? One of the lead stories in the media this week blasted congress for insider trading. If this contract goes to Embraer it will be a huge pay off to another George Soros company.
When will the 4th estate do it’s constitutionally protected job and expose the real obama to the American people?

Keep your eye on Waukesha, Wisconsin... Their biggest employer just moved out.

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis., to Beijing.

In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year. but paid no taxes - the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the united States.

So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE CEO Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.

If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does.

Soon, you all will understand that Obama has an agenda, this agenda is to remove the last super power from the world. He is getting very close.

Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.

Let us this day celebrate not only the diversity that we have in America but the power of individualism and the rule of law by constitutionally limited government as opposed to the progression of elitists pushing a new socialism in our land. LJK

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

We are doomed...

SNOW! Attendance was down today in our worship services at The Lords Baptist Church in Tacoma, WA. but it was a good day. Feel free to visit our church website and or our Face Book page. The sermon today was Prayer Part 2: "Fundamentals of Prayer" and here is a link to the audio.

=====

GRANTED - there is enough that has gone on in our nation politically to prove that we have been pretty stupid - but let us take a break from politics for a moment. WE are doomed. Putting politics aside, ponder THESE questions:

We are doomed …..

EVER WONDER where we are headed...
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why you don't ever see the headline: "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?

Why Doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why you have to click on "Start" to stop Windows XP?

Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?

Why the man who invests all your money is called a "Broker"?

Why there isn't mouse flavored cat food?

Who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavor?

Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?

Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box?

Why sheep don't shrink when it rains?

Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe?

AND...

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Myer hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping". (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap". (And that would be how???)

On some frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost". (But, it's just a suggestion).

On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down". (Well......duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating". (And you thought????...)

On packaging for a K-Mart iron: "Do not iron clothes on body". (But wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication". (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness". (And...I'm taking this because???)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only".(As opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use".(Now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Nobby's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts". (Talk about a news flash!)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts".
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for this one:
On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly".

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals". (Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...
We all need to smile every once in a while...

Standing With Israel

2012-01-14T12:52:00.000-08:00

We Must Stand With Israel

Gen 12:1-3
CHAPTER 12

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(KJV)

The simple truth is that Barack Obama has carved out a special, shameful unpopularity for himself as the most anti-Israel president ever – and he is dragging the Democrat party down this road. We need to make sure Congress keeps it in mind – and that "it shows" in their support of Israel during these trying and dangerous days.

Non-negotiated Palestinian "statehood" IS a huge provocation certain to ignite untold violence. Such a "state" concocted by UN fiat would initiate terror attacks in Jerusalem or on other vital Israeli territory, and Israel's enemies would brand her necessary defensive actions "aggression" against a UN member state. Under a "Uniting for Peace" General Assembly Resolution vote, blue-helmeted "peacekeepers" could be deployed to invade Israel's sovereign lands.

In fact, United States troops, under the new-world-order command of the United Nations, could be ordered to invade Israel!

SAY NO!
Send a FAX or at least clip and paste the petition and send it to your Senators and Congressman.

TELL CONGRESS: WE WILL NOT STAND BY AS
OBAMA DELIVERS ISRAEL TO HER ENEMIES!

As observed by foreign affairs expert Caroline Glick, Obama is
• The first U.S. President ever to denounce Jewish property rights in Jerusalem
• The first U.S. president ever to require Israel to deny Jews property rights in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria as a precondition for peace talks with the Palestinians
• The first U.S. president ever to adopt the position that Israel must surrender its right to defensible borders in the framework of a peace treaty
• The first U.S. President ever to make Israeli acceptance of this position to surrender its right to defensible borders a precondition for negotiations
• The first U.S. president ever to accept Hamas as a legitimate actor in Palestinian politicshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
• The first U.S. president ever to make American support for Israel at the UN conditional on Israeli concessions to the Palestinians
Unilaterally defined Palestinian "statehood" is a rogue resolution, operating outside the context of a peace treaty with Israel. Such proposal is an overt violation of prior UN Resolution 242, which requires a negotiated settlement between Israel and Palestinian representatives before any UN action may be considered on a Palestinian state. It explicitly repudiates the Oslo Accords. Yet Obama allows the Palestinians to gather support for this travesty, snickers at calling Netanyahu a liar while posturing as an ally of Israel – and leaves Israel twisting in the wind. Is this any way to treat an ally?

TELL CONGRESS: OVERRIDE OBAMA & STAND WITH ISRAEL!

Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate MUST unite in defense of Israel! The REAL political conversion for Ed Koch is most telling, resting on one cold, hard fact. As he describes, "I have not recovered from my shock when I learned from a Gallup poll conducted in February 2010 that 48 percent of Democrats supported Israel and 70 percent of Republicans did. Those figures are permanently seared in my mind."

Ed Koch, ex-mayor, life-long Democrat, is a decent man for whom respect for truth and love of America and Israel trump the prevailing vulgar political calculations that are destroying his old party, leading our country to ruin, and imperiling the only democracy in the Middle East as Obama pursues policies that bring the region closer and closer to catastrophic, perhaps even nuclear war.

There is a 52% liberal majority of the Democrat party that no longer stands foursquare with Israel – and under the "leadership" of Obama, the betrayal of Israel is becoming party policy.

IT MUST NOT BECOME AMERICA'S POLICY. AMERICA STANDS WITH ISRAEL.
TELL CONGRESS: STAND WITH ISRAEL!

Keep Faith,

=====
Washington State Senate canceled BUDGET meetings to deal with the same-sex-marriage issue. WHAT? This is definitely NOT the right priorities at this time...

“Queers and Lesbians may live as they choose, but they don’t have the right to redefine marriage for all of us."

• Marriage is between a husband and wife. The people of this state do not want marriage to be anything but that. We do not want government or judges changing the biblical definition for us - ever.
• We need an amendment to settle the gay marriage issue nation wide, so that we do not have continual interstate “in your face” conflict in the future over this issue.
• Marriage is about bringing together men and women so children can have mothers and fathers.
• Do we want to teach the next generation that one-half of humanity—either mothers or fathers—are dispensable and unimportant? Children are confused enough right now with sexual messages. Do not confuse them further.

=====
TEN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON “GAY” MARRIAGE.
1. Are you a bigot? “Why do you want to take away people’s rights?”
“Isn’t it wrong to discriminate?”
A: “People like me believe mothers and fathers both matter to kids. Sixty percent of African-Americans oppose same-sex marriage. They are not bigots for believing marriage is the union of a husband and wife. It is not taking away anyone’s rights. It’s common sense.”

2. Isn’t the ban on gay marriage like bans on interracial marriage?
A: “Bans on interracial marriage were about keeping two races apart so that one race could oppress the other. Marriage is about bringing two sexes together, so that children get the love of their own mom and a dad, and women are not stuck with the enormous disadvantages of parenting alone. Having a parent of two different races is just not the same as being deprived of your mother—or your father.”

3. Why do we need a constitutional amendment? “Isn’t DOMA enough?”
A: “DOMA helps but it is being ignored by some and lawsuits like the one that imposed gay marriage in Massachusetts now threaten marriage in at least 12 other states so far. These are attempts to end run around the rules by activist judges or grandstanding San-Francisco-style politicians. The Highest Authority in Creation has spoken on this topic and it is settled. We must affirm this nationally.”

4. What’s the harm from SSM? “How can Adam and Steve hurt your marriage?”
A: “Who gets harmed? The people of this state who lose the right to view marriage as the union of husband and wife, that’s who. Religious groups like Catholic Charities or the Salvation Army will suffer unless they endorse a bogus definition of marriage. Public schools will teach young children contrary to the teaching of their Christian parents. When the idea that children need moms and dads is discredited, the job of parents and faith communities trying to transmit a marriage culture to their children will be a lot harder. The people of this state will lose the right to keep marriage as the union of a husband and wife. That’s not right.”

5. Why do you want to interfere with love?
A: “Love is a great thing. But marriage isn’t just any kind of love; it’s the special love of a husband and wife for each other and their children.”

6. What about benefits? Don’t gay couples and their kids need the benefits and protections of marriage?”
A: “It is biologically impossible for queers to have kids. If health care or medical proxies aren’t working, let’s fix that problem but don’t mess with marriage. The issue isn’t benefits, it is marriage. Local folks can decide benefits. This is about the meaning of marriage, our most basic social institution for protecting children.”

7. Isn’t divorce the real threat to marriage?
A: “High rates of divorce are one more reason we should be strengthening marriage, not conducting radical social experiments on it.”

8. Are you saying gays cannot be good parents?
A: “Two men might both be a father figure; but neither can be a mom. The ideal for children is to have the love of their own mom and dad. No same-sex couple can provide that.”

9. What about older or infertile couples? If they can marry, why not same-sex couples?
A: “Every man and woman who marries is capable of giving any child they create (or adopt) a mother and a father. No same-sex couple can do this.”

10. Are you saying I cannot have Gay Pride?
A: “Raising children needs proper settings and that ‘pride of place’ goes to the family, based on the marriage of a man and a woman. Policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself.”

Top 5 reasons for change in 2012

The Top 5 Reasons Obama Must Be Removed as Commander-in-Chief
By Stella Paul

Obama recently signed a mysterious new law that proclaims all American soil is a "battleground," thereby allowing the president to indefinitely detain any American citizen without charges. Critics fear Obama will use his fun new unconstitutional powers to make his political enemies disappear, but that may not be necessary.

The way things are going, most patriotic Americans will soon be six feet under, felled by apoplectic strokes brought on by reading the latest outrage committed by our "Commander in Chief." He may not have a limit to what he'll inflict; but our collective blood pressure may have a limit to what we can bear.

With each passing hour, the question becomes not if America can survive a second term, but whether we can survive another day. It's not just the $15 trillion in debt, the Muslim Brotherhood in the catbird seat, and our bleeding open border. It's the never-ending deliberate assaults against our safety and security laughingly committed by the cold-eyed man with the nuclear code.

Here are the top 5 reasons Obama must be removed as Commander-in-Chief. Please read them while seated.

ONE - LightSquared: If we had an actual media, you should be able to wake up an average fourth grader at 3 AM and ask, "Who's General William Shelton?" and the fourth grader would chirpily recite: "He's the Air Force Commander who was pressured by the White House to change his testimony about LightSquared."

The facts are not in dispute. A four-star general has testified to Congress that he was pressured by the White House to alter his testimony to make it friendlier to a broadband company backed by a major Democratic donor.

The problem with LightSquared's new wireless project is that it could disrupt all military communications and GPS. But what worth has the entire capacity of the military's communication system against the pleadings of LightSquared's biggest investor, Philip Falcone, who shovels cash to Obama?

TWO - Fast and Furious: No matter how many times you hear the facts they never get less sickening or bizarre. The United States Department of Justice deliberately ran thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels, which then used them to commit at least 11 violent crimes in the US and 200 violent crimes in Mexico. A Fast and Furious gun was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and possibly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata.

ATF Agent Vince Cefalu was fired for whistleblowing about this surreal horror show. Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself to Congress, pretending he knew nothing about it. And newly released emails confirm that the motivation for supplying weapons to Mexico's most violent criminals was to use the ensuing chaos to enact stricter gun control laws here.

Not content to unleash murder and mayhem, the Department of Justice also went into the money-laundering racket, washing clean millions of dollars for Mexico's drug cartels. Your tax dollars at work! And while this evil madness was raging, Obama conducted a hysterical campaign against Sarah Palin for using an image of a target on her website.

THREE - Giving Top-Secret Technology to Our Enemies: Last week brought word that Obama is planning to share U.S. missile defense secrets with Russia, over the strenuous objections of security officials who say it could devastate the effectiveness of our entire defense system. They also fear Russia will share our secrets with China, Iran and North Korea.

Remember how Obama's Mommy and Daddy met in Russian class? If only they could see their little boy now.

Obama also gave a freebie of our most classified intelligence to Iran, refusing all three options to destroy a downed U.S. drone. Instead, he let the mullahs paw their way through our most sensitive high-tech secrets. Not to worry -- he did politely ask them to give it back.

FOUR - Waging War Against Libya Without Congressional Approval: Obama's handlers dreamed up a catchy new doctrine called Responsibility to Protect (R2P), and they were itching to try it out. So Obama gave them a nice, peppy little war to conduct in Libya. Why not take out the mad transvestite, Qadaffi? Nobody likes him, anyway.

Flagrantly flouting the War Powers Resolution, Obama spent a billion dollars to wage an unconstitutional war. The grand result is Al Qaeda's flag waving over Benghazi and 20,000 anti-aircraft missiles missing, which will probably wind up blasting towards us.

FIVE - Hollowing Out Our Military: This week we learn that Obama is slashing the defense budget, planning to lay off 14% off our troops, reduce our nuclear arsenal, shelve key weapon systems and explicitly cripple our ability to wage ground wars. What hath Saul Alinsky wrought!

Already, Obama has strait-jacketed the military in political correctness, forbidding discussion of the nature of radical Islam and sanitizing the jihad-crazed murder of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood into "workplace violence." But that was not enough for our Commander-in-Chief.

Our troops are so heroic that even in straitjackets, they can win. And if there's one thing Obama will not tolerate it's American victory.

From George Washington to Barack Obama - it's been quite a ride.

2012 Rules from God

2012-01-08T18:16:00.000-08:00

We thank the Lord for His blessing upon us at The Lords Baptist Church in Tacoma, WA. He has been SO good to us!

Seven Rules from God for 2012

1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart."
I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!... To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!.. For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers
"Do not worry about anything;
Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6

God answers Knee-Mail.

44 weeks to the Nov 6, 2012 general election

We all need spread the word in earnest that it’s time for a new president.

If one needs any facts just look what happened this week

Four recess appointments when the Congress was not in session.

This represents a total disregard for the Constitution, separation of powers, and the Justice Department ruling during the Clinton Administration that ruled recess appointments could only be made after the Senate has been recessed for 3 days.

In fact the Dodd Frank legislation that President Obama signed, specifically states the director of the new Consumer Protection Agency must be confirmed by the Senate.

One would expect this type of governance from a banana republic dictator who when they do not get their way will run rough shod over the law. Where in the heck did we get this guy?

I hadn't thought about this - but where are Obama's past girlfriends? Surely he had at least one? No past girl friends popping up anywhere? Strange - strange to the point of being downright weird!

OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace, or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! Our media vets these things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, for years that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity.

We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton-we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of what we know... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him

Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.

Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.

When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada - other than what was in this so-called biography! And experts who study writing styles etc. claim it was not O's own words or typical of his speech patterns, etc.

Does this make you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.

This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie titled, The Manchurian Candidate?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.

George Stephanopoulos, ABC Newssaid the same thing during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him. Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records? Do you like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable - even though no one can?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but not one remembers him. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at Columbia , who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia ... EVER!

Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that.. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him." At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.

How can this be?

NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.

Some other interesting questions.

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?

According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama - but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.. WHAT!?
The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived. No wonder all his records are sealed!

Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school... before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and speaking pizzazz. It's one of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen. This is not right on many levels! It makes one wonder how we have been sooooo easily lead.....!

• Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
• Total budget cuts: $385

Simple isn't it?

Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:

Let's say, you come home from work and find there
has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your
home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do?

Raise the ceilings, or pump out the sewage?

Your choice is coming in November 2012.

Stop Agenda 21

2012-01-03T13:51:00.000-08:00

The UN is ruthlessly advancing a new plan that will make America a HOSTAGE to the United Nations. It is AGENDA 21.

Here is what it can do...

Wipe private property off the face of the earth.
Force you and your family to live in a UN approved home.
Confiscate private farms and farmland.
Snatch away private landholdings.
Ban individual ownership of cars.

I'll give you some background information that is critical to understanding how this anti-freedom scheme came about.
In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) was held in Rio de Janeiro to discuss global initiatives. 172 governments attended and 108 sent their heads of state. And about 2,400 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) showed up for the "GLOBAL FORUM."

This group of POWERFUL world leaders and environmentalists spent their time discussing typical green movement hogwash. Back in 1992, most people dismissed this conference as a green rant fest.

However, that was a huge mistake...
...Because the politicians came up with a plan for a centrally ruled global society. They called that plan Agenda 21. The plan's contract would make governments around the world a SLAVE to the every wish and whim of the United Nations.

UN Agenda 21 would also dictate...
Where we live
What we eat
How and what we learn
Where and when we can move (if at all)
Here's how the UN describes it:

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level."

It's already happening right now.
Obama, who has vowed to "fundamentally transform America," is pushing to implement this freedom-grabbing plan UNDER THE RADAR.

On June 9, 2011 he signed EXECUTIVE ORDER 13575 and established the White House Rural Council (WHRC). This new administrative body is responsible for federally coordinating and implementing sustainable and green development locally.
Here is an excerpt from EO 13575:

Section 1. Policy- Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead.

"Sustainable" became a buzzword at the UN's 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil (where Agenda 21 was created). Sustainable = Agenda 21
Mike Opelka of The Blaze reports:

"Warning bells should have been sounding all across rural America when the phrase "sustainable rural communities" came up. As we know from researching the UN plan for Sustainable Development known as Agenda 21, these are code words for the true fundamental transformation America."

UN Agenda 21 is a transnational attempt to erode property rights, destroy freedom and make America submissive to foreign bureaucrats.

We don't have much time to waste before this TOTALITARIAN TREATY BECOMES LAW OF THE LAND!

THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE CAN AFFORD TO LOSE

1. Tell The Senate To REJECT Attempts To Submit America To The UN and REJECT All Attempts To Implement UN Agenda 21!

2. Send this Alert to EVERYONE you know and every like-minded friend on your personal email list who wants to STOP the UN from encroaching on your God-given rights! We need to get HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of faxes delivered to EACH AND EVERY Senator. It's time the Senate gets the message - LOUD & CLEAR!

3. Keep calling your Senators today, toll free numbers include 1-877-851-6437 and 1-866-220-0044, or call 1-202-225-3121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE! Demand the Senate STOP Agenda 21 DEAD IN ITS TRACKS.

4. CALL the White House, 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414 expressing your disdain and ABSOLUTE REJECTION of the UN plan. Tell Obama that you DO NOT SUPPORT destroying personal property rights, confiscating private land and banning private ownership of cars.

5. Print this copy and pass it around where normal working class Americans gather who care about the future of our country. Polling data reveals that Americans treasure their Constitutional rights and personal freedoms. They DO NOT want to be controlled by and CONCEDE to foreign leaders.

From the Desk of:
Brent Bozell, President
Media Research Center

December 30, 2011

Read below about the threat that we face in 2012

Dear Patriot,

Join MRC for free at this link:
http://mrcaction.org/fight-liberal-media-bias?

Our staff has painstakingly documented and analyzed how the leftist press have been systematically savaging every potential conservative standard bearer who has emerged on the national stage.

We all know how they ruthlessly attacked Sarah Palin.

Donald Trump is no conservative, but the media thought he was and crushed him the minute he looked like a threat to Barack Obama and his socialist agenda.

Then it was Michele Bachmann. Texas Governor Rick Perry. Herman Cain. And of course, Newt Gingrich.

The moment his national approval ratings around the country jumped, the liberal media pounced, looking for any and every piece of dirt they could find on him.

In some cases, members of the liberal media didn’t even try to hide their mission to destroy Newt.

As was detailed in the December 7, 2011 MRC “BiasAlert,” former Newsweek editor Howard Fineman trashed Newt Gingrich as a mad bomber, smearing,

“...Newt's main appeal and his main skill is as a guy who knows exactly where to put the explosive device to blow up the bridge."

An even more outrageous example comes from Noel Sheppard writing in MRC’s newsbusters.org. Noel exposed how Aaron Blake of The Washington Post’s “The Fix,” a political blog, sent out a mass tweet asking for,

“outlandish/incorrect predictions and quotes from Newt Gingrich.”

This same tactic was used by the Post against Sarah Palin in June.

The bottom line is this: The majority of the leftist press are no longer hiding their bias or even pretending to be objective.

Anyone or anything deemed a threat to the media’s socialist agenda has been -- and will continue to be throughout 2012 -- smashed, ridiculed, smeared and demonized by the leftist press.

Think also about how they continue to demonize the Tea Party movement as “right-wing extremists,” “racists,” “hostage-takers,” “terrorists,” and “spoiled teenagers”...

... compared to how they lavished praise on the anti-capitalist anarchists that made up the phony and (contrary to media portrayal) tiny “Occupy Wall Street” rabble.

Most of all, think about how the likes of Chris Matthews, The New York Times and NPR have helped the liberals frame the 2012 election agenda as a battle between “the haves” and “have nots.”

Honestly, in all my years in grassroots activism, I have NEVER seen the media play the “Class Warfare Card” so openly, aggressively and shamefully!

Case in point?

As was also detailed in that December 7 MRC “BiasAlert,” former Associated Press writer Ron Fournier praised Barack Obama's call for higher taxes as,

“...one of his best, a searing and historically poignant account of the greatest challenge of the American experiment: How do we give every citizen, rich or poor, a path to the good life?"

Yes, according to Ron Fournier and most of his liberal media colleagues, the only way to create jobs and expand economic opportunity is to raise taxes, handcuff the free enterprise system and punish hard-working successful Americans.

If you agree, then you are deemed one of the “adults in the room.”

If not, then you are “anti-middle class,” “anti-worker,” “anti-America,” “anti-minority” and a “right-wing, greedy, Tea Party extremist” who hates Barack Obama more than you love your country.

In essence, that is how Chris Matthews, George Stephanopoulos, Christiane Amanpour and the leftist press plan on framing the 2012 elections.

Us against them. Rich against poor. Black against white.

It is despicable –- and the time has truly come to say enough is enough.

I am sure you agree.

In Wednesday's message, I detailed how we plan to answer these distortions and attacks, but I can’t do it without the generous support of conservative Americans.

Stand with us to put the leftist press directly on notice that the American people will not allow them to smear conservatives, distort the facts or elevate the socialist agenda in order to predetermine this year’s election results.

I believe 2012 is going to be a make-or-break year for our nation’s liberty, security and prosperity.

This effort will cost nearly $4 million dollars, and we’re counting on our MRC Action team to contribute $50,000 towards this massive effort.

So please, respond and respond generously today.
CLICK HERE to help with a generous financial contribution.

Sincerely,

L. Brent Bozell III
Founder and President

P.S. The liberal media’s attacks on Tea Party and conservative leaders, candidates and principles in the coming days, weeks and months ahead are going to be worse than we have EVER seen before in the United States. These attacks will become more and more hateful, dishonest, vicious and relentless as the year goes on. We hold in our hands the tools to counter and neutralize these attacks. DONATE PLEASE

So What....

Kagan says YOU don't have what it takes

She says, "So What If My Actions Are Lawless... What Are You Gonna Do, Impeach Me?"

Elena Kagan's lawlessness is so clear that even her fellow liberals, like Eric Segall, a liberal law professor at Georgia State University, are no longer denying it.

Segall recently wrote in Slate Magazine:"Doing the right thing is easy when nothing important is at stake. Doing the right thing is much harder when there is a lot to lose. Elena Kagan is a loyal Democrat who owes her Supreme Court appointment to President Barack Obama. She is poised to review the constitutionality of Obama’s health care statute, which, if invalidated, might do serious damage to his re-election campaign as well as the Democratic Party. ... Elena Kagan should recuse herself from hearing challenges to the act."

But Kagan's not interested in doing the right thing. Why should she be? After all, NOT doing the right thing is also easy when no one stands up to you. That must change right now. Our elected leaders must draw a line in the sand. If they don't, the Regime, will only become more brazen in its lawlessness with each passing day.

It's time to force the issue. It's time to put a stop to this lawlessness and start doing the right thing here and now by calling for the immediate impeachment of Elena Kagan.

Happy New Year

2011-12-29T13:53:00.000-08:00

We had a good season of prayer last night at our mid-week prayer meeting and there was a sweet Spirit in our worship services last Lord's Day. Please visit our Face Book page and listen in to some of the audios available there. CLICK

45 weeks to the Nov 6, 2012 general election

I hope you all are looking forward to a great New Year.

2012 can be our year as we move our state and country back on the right course.

We will win by working together, helping our candidates, identifying like-minded voters and getting out the vote. Happy New Year!

===================================
Let me tell you a story I think will anger you.

Owen and Eunice Johns live in Great Britain. They are the kind of people you really want your kids to grow up to be like. They're the kind of people you wish you had for neighbors. They're the kind of people you wish your church was full of.

While they raised four children of their own, the Johns understood that pure and undefiled religion before God is looking after orphans and widows in their need. So they answered the call. They became foster parents to 15 children. Many of their adopted children were older kids-teenagers-who have the most difficult time finding a "forever family."

You may be wondering where is the bad part of this happy story.

Well, recently the Johns were told by the government in Great Britain that they were no longer qualified to be foster parents to children who had no home.

As in most places around the world, Great Britain has a shortage of homes willing to take children who cannot live with their own parents. There are 10,000 children waiting to be placed.

What did they do that disqualified them from being able to provide care to orphans? Were they beating the children in their care? Were children complaining that they were being neglected while living with the Johns? No.

The reason the British government says the Johns can no longer be foster parents is that they are unwilling to tell the children in their care that homosexuality is a morally equivalent lifestyle to heterosexuality. According to the British high court, "traditional Christian views about sexuality are harmful to children."

I'm sure you are as outraged by this as I am. But the point here is not simply to be outraged. We need to understand why the Johns story matters to all of us here in Washington state.

You see, Washington State is seriously considering legislation to redefine marriage. If we allow this legislation to pass in Washington, that will not mean the end for the quest for "sexual freedom."

In truth, the debate over same-sex "marriage" has never really been about marriage. The debate over marriage is simply a small part of a larger effort to eradicate from the public square the idea that there is a difference between homosexual and heterosexual relationships.

That is why the Johns are no longer able to be foster parents. They did not mistreat anyone. They were simply unwilling to surrender their beliefs.

The goal of normalizing homosexuality throughout culture cannot be accomplished if there is not a corresponding marginalization of biblical views about sexuality and restrictions on expressing those ideas. That is why our freedoms are at stake.

We need help making sure that this movement doesn't advance any further in Washington State. Will you help preserve religious freedom in Washington by making your most generous, tax-deductible, year-end gift today? DONATE

The battle will rage hot and heavy in Washington State this next year. Pray for us. If you live in another State, BEWARE! This issue is going to slip up on you too one of these days if it has not already....

Irena Sendler

2011-12-19T00:40:00.000-08:00

Good services today again at TLBC. Had another first time visitor. My Sermon was on "The Prophecy of the Incarnation." Listen Here

You may not have heard about the death of a 98-year-old lady named Irena Sendler.

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive...
She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German). Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she also carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids). She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs and arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the families. Most, of course, had been gassed.

Those kids she helped were placed into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007 Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize....

She LOST.

Al Gore won for doing a slide show on Global Warming.
(Snopes verifies this as true)

What a statement about modern day values in this world.

Fire Holder AND his Boss.

2011-12-14T16:58:00.000-08:00

Send this to your elected officials in Washington D.C.

Dear Representative,

Please convince me that YOU are not part of the problem.

Our elected officials sit in their elite salons and parlors in Washington and plot and scheme. If you were a fly on the wall, it would come as no great shock to hear one of them actually laugh and proclaim, cigar and drink in hand: "Of course Obama SHOULD be impeached, but let's not upset the apple cart. Life is good for us here in Washington. Let's just keep talking tough, do nothing, and the idiotic citizens in flyover country will put us back into office anyway."

NOW HEAR THIS ... that's NOT going to happen!

Meanwhile, Obama continues to usurp the authority of the legislature and the judiciary, he continues to compromise our national sovereignty. He tries to divide us by race and class. He undermines our Judeo-Christian heritage whenever the opportunity presents itself and he repeatedly violates Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, which requires that he “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

Fire Holder AND his Boss...

It's high time we give Obama what he's been asking for, and yet, our Republican leaders refuse to do what must be done for the good of the country... they refuse to hold this 21st century dictator to account... they refuse to stop the rampant lawlessness of the Obama Regime. They refuse to IMPEACH BARACK OBAMA. It's time for them to know that upsetting the apple cart is REQUIRED and failure to heed that demand will have career destroying consequences.

Give some Love

2011-12-11T20:14:00.000-08:00

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,

Who won't anymore...

And who always will..

So, don't worry about people from your past,

there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future..

Give some love to everyone you don't want to lose in 2012,

Including me, if that's what is in your heart.

Social Injustice

2011-12-05T15:46:00.000-08:00

On Friday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Carter national security advisor ranted, "The United States is becoming rapidly one of the most socially unjust societies in the world." NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell declared: "I agree with just about everything that Dr. Brzezinski has said..."

Mitchell sets aside Patriots for Freedom in favor of Pundits for Socialism, lamenting, "The disparities between rich and poor in this country. " She noted, "You see the exaggerated forms of it…with the Tea Party, (objecting to Obama-care a couple of years ago) and then, the emergence of the Occupy movement. That's a real movement. There is real passion and anger there."

Socially Unjust? Good grief, Andrea, gag us with a spoon. The USA is one nation that is exceptional in the world for saying her legal citizens, until recently, have constitutionally protected God given rights like LIFE, LIBERTY, and so on. The Godly founders of America designed a constitutionally limited government that we the people were to control. They never intended for the government to control the people and mandate how we may or may not pursue happiness according to divine law. If a citizen chooses to help the poor, that is between him and God and is not a concern of government. Where do people get off now days slandering America like they do? The United States of America has been a more benevolent nation to a lost and dying world than any other country in history. God bless America!

2012 - Put me in charge...

2011-11-27T23:39:00.000-08:00

THANKSGIVING Preached TLBC 11-27-11.

ELECTION 2012 IS COMING!!!

Did you notice whom Obama threatened when he was not getting his way on raising the debt ceiling? Now… Let this sink in really well -

He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens.

He did not threaten to take benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates in prison.

He did not offer to fire some of the unnecessary federal bureaucrats he hired.

He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting.

He did not threaten to cut the pay of senators and representatives or their staff.

He did not threaten to cut funds from welfare fraud recipients or abusers of food stamp programs or money to anything that involves his base of voters or financial supporters.

He did not threaten to stop any foreign aid to unfriendly Islamic or historically communistic countries.

The list could go on and on, but – GET THIS - he actually threatened not to pay disability, social security, and military retirees.

Why are we letting this person and his cronies destroy our country?

His type of change is killing us. He needs to go away and only our votes can make that happen. Do not forget about his tactics when it is election time.

Young Texas girl figures it out...

It appears that there are some people out there that are figuring it out.
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she’s
worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just
common sense in her opinion. This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX
Nov 18, 2010

Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash
for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want
steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test recipients
for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If
you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and
piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?

You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your
"home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own
place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or
you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of
trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We
will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo
and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of
the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before
you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider
that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing
absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least
attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system
rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that
is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will
voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare
check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Class warfare

2011-11-11T15:06:00.000-08:00

Thank you to all the veterans that have served our country and are serving today. Unfortunately, modern politicians have created another war that has put veterans at odds with one another within our great land. It is a political mind game that pits one class against another and it is not productive at all but they are perfecting it with the aid of a Marxist minded media.

Class warfare at its best.

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff, can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

The folks who are paying for the free stuff, want to cut back on the free stuff, but the folks getting the free stuff,
want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

The elite officials who are forcing some people to Pay for the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff, have been convinced, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, that they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? One class of voters figured out how to get free stuff by electing elite officials who promised to give free stuff in exchange for electing them. The elite then force another class of people to pay for the free stuff. This continues until the getting people are so many that the paying people cannot support them anymore.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. The elite are now borrowing money from foreign countries to help pay for the free stuff.

We have a chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it. Watch this 3 minute video here to see why.

Remind your Senators

2011-11-03T12:54:00.000-07:00

Time for another reminder to go out to your Senators to defend the "defense of Marriage Act." Access your Legislators via the tool over on the right hand side of this page.

Here is a suggested letter that you can clip and paste for sending to them.

Dear Senator:

The institution of marriage is under attack.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will meet THURSDAY, Nov. 3 to mark up the "Respect for Marriage Act," as announced by committee chairman, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT).

Efforts to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) are in full swing. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced the badly named "Respect for Marriage Act of 2011" with the stated purpose, "To repeal the Defense of Marriage Act."

But marriage, as defined in DOMA, is vital to the social
wellbeing of our nation. I urge you to vote against
Dianne Feinstein's so-called "Respect for Marriage
Act of 2011."

++The battle over DOMA is absolutely crucial!

President Obama supports the repeal of the
Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the federal law which
defines a marriage as between one man and one woman.

By refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA), President Obama and his Attorney General are
fueling a dramatic increase in pro-homosexual activism,
including this latest slap in the face of DOMA!

If passed into law, this new attack on marriage will further embolden the
homosexual community to take more ground while they have a sympathetic president and Senate. Believe me, their mission will not stop with this can of worms!

Please stand with America and defend traditional family values.

Remember the Family

2011-10-26T17:15:00.000-07:00

Are you aware that officials at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently tried to stop a pastor from praying in Jesus’ name at a ceremony at the Houston National Cemetery?

After more research about this, it turns out, VA officials were also:

* Forbidding the mention of God at funerals for veterans.

* Requiring families to submit prayers for approval by the government.

* Instructing the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) that they may not present the option of prayer to families.

* Instructing a private funeral home in Houston, Texas not to present the option of prayer to families.

up on the right you can find your Senators contact information. There is presently a bill being promoted in the Senate that is very deceptively titled. I've been alerted to this by Tony Perkins, President of FRCAction, a Legislative Affiliate of Family Research Council. They are seeking donations [http://www.frcaction.org] and have a petition that can be sent to your Senator in support of the traditional definition of marriage.

The bill they warn us about is called the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) but it is in fact just the opposite. If passed, it will do away with the Defense of Marriage Act DOMA that was passed in 1996 defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman for the purposes of federal agencies and federal laws and it guarantees the right of States to decide their own marriage laws independently of the Federal laws and the laws of other States. Please clip and paste the note below and send it to your two Senators.

Dear Senator,

As one of your constituents, I wish to register my strong opposition to the deceptively titled "Respect for Marriage Act," S. 598, which if passed will overturn the Defense of Marriage Act Congress passed in response to the majority of American's desire to protect marriage and in opposition to so-called "same-sex marriage." The majority of Americans are still opposed to redefining the institution of marriage. Normal marriage is still the bedrock foundation of a healthy society. Government promotion of counterfeit "marriages" is still bad policy. Therefore, please do not ignore the historical evidence for marriage and the public opinion opposed to redefining it. PLEASE reject the RMA. Thank you.

RESPECTFULLY,

Aloha!

Well, Marion and I had a wonderful two weeks in Kauai. We loved it. It was good however to be back in the worship services of a true New Testament congregation of the Lord Jesus Christ last Lord's Day. See TLBC website HERE.

We are having our monthly First Friday Fellowship tomorrow night. It is listed on Facebook as the "FFF" event. Elder Jim Turner is our scheduled speaker. If you have a Facebook page, do a search for our church page there too @ The Lord's Baptist Church.

Peaceful rage?

2011-09-08T16:59:00.000-07:00

September 17th is Constitution Day. It is supposed to be a day dedicated to the reading and teaching of our founding documents. On the same day, a group of leftists is planning on a "Days of Rage - Occupy Wall Street" where they will engage in non-violent civil disobedience (sure) to shut down our nation's financial center. Should we believe someone claiming to be "non-violent" when they have "rage" in their title?

If you think the economy is teetering on the brink now, wait until the anarchists have a few days of rioting on Wall Street. We'll see how well prepared New York's finest are to deal with this latest threat.

They have the complete support of every Marxist and Jihadist organization in the world. We have a pdf in our files section for more information.

YOU LIE !!

2011-08-19T11:08:00.000-07:00

"There are also those who claim that our [ObamaCare] reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false." -- Barack Obama

HE LIED. Yes, Barack Obama lied when he told the American people that his takeover of our health care system would not benefit illegal aliens... In fact, his administration just confirmed it a few short days ago.

Remember when Obama admonished and scolded patriotic Americans in 2009 during a televised speech to a joint session of Congress and claimed that ObamaCare would not benefit illegal aliens? Remember when Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) called him on that false statement and shouted "You Lie" from the House floor? Of course, Wilson's colleagues, including some in the GOP leadership, twisted Wilson's arm and FORCED HIM TO APOLOGIZE... FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.

Oh yes, Wilson, it turns out, was telling the truth. The Department of Health and Human Services just announced that it will be funneling millions in cold hard ObamaCare cash to "community health centers" that service "migrant and seasonal farm workers." And since a disproportionately large number of those workers are undocumented, Rep. Wilson rightly pointed out recently, "It is inevitable that they will serve illegal aliens."

Folks, we have some unfinished business. Republican leaders promised us that if the American people gave them the majority in the House of Representatives, they would repeal or defund ObamaCare. And it's time to hold them to that promise.

Perhaps they're thinking (or hoping) that the American people have forgotten the promise... But today, we're going to force them to keep their word. Today, we're going to force them, kicking and screaming if we must, to defund ObamaCare.

Use the LINK below to send your urgent and personalized Blast Faxes to the Republican Leadership of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Or alternatively, you can send your urgent and personalized Blast Faxes to each and every Republican Member of the House and Senate... that's over 280 Blast Faxes.

Tell them, in no uncertain terms, that you oppose the Obama Administration's efforts to provide taxpayer-subsidized health care to illegal aliens through ObamaCare. Furthermore, tell them to keep the promise they made to the American people to defund and repeal ObamaCare.

Wal-Mart vs. the Morons

2011-08-09T12:50:00.000-07:00

Something to THINK About.

1.
Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour
of every day.

2.
This works out to $20,928 every minute!

3.
Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to
St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4.
Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger +
Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined...

5.
Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's
largest private employer, and most employees speak English.

6.
Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7.
Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and
Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8.
During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains
sought bankruptcy.

9.
Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store
in the world.

10.
Wal-Mart has approx. 3,900 stores in the USA of
which 2,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than
it had five years ago...

11.
This year 7.2 billion different purchasing
experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores.
(Earth's population is
approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12.
90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of
a Wal-Mart.

13.
Wal-Mart has gross sales that total more than the
total revenue of all the countries in the world,
except 6.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am
really laying the ground work for suggesting that
MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart
to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans;
Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To the President and all 535 voting members
of the Legislature, both parties.

It is now official -
you are ALL corrupt FAILURES:

a.
The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775.
You have had 234 years to get it right
and it is broke.

b.
Social Security was established in 1935.
You have had 74 years to get it right
and it is broke.

c.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938.
You have had 71 years to get it right

You have had 44 years to get it right
and they are broke.

f.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970.

budget of $24 billion a year
and we import more oil than ever before.
You had 32 years to get it right
and it is an abysmal failure.

!!!You have FAILED !!!
In every "government service" you have shoved
down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS
TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED
WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ??

YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN THE
AUTO INDUSTRY.... THE BANKING SYSTEM?????

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGGHEAD
BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND
HIRE WAL-MART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???

WAL-MART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS...
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT THAT
IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?

Holder Has to GO!

2011-08-05T11:54:00.000-07:00

I'm sending you this e-mail after just returning from Capitol Hill and the hearings investigating the crimes committed during BATFE's Operation "Fast and Furious."

Attorney General Eric Holder is stonewalling all efforts to get to the truth.

His minions have directed Federal employees with knowledge about this illegal gun pipeline to the Mexican cartels to refuse to cooperate with Congressional investigators.

I've said all along that Holder is either lying or he's incompetent, and that either way, he can't be trusted with the powers of his office or the sanctity of our freedoms. That's why I wrote you and asked you to sign NRA's Petition to Fire Eric Holder.

If you haven't had the chance to sign NRA's National Petition to Fire Eric Holder, I urge you to do it today by CLICKING HERE NOW.

Your signed Petition will help NRA blow the lid off this conspiracy and cover-up, and hold Eric Holder and other administration officials responsible for the crimes they committed while trying to advance President Obama's gun control agenda.

In Congress, the anti-gunners are cynically pointing to the Fast and Furious scandal and saying that if gun control laws were stronger, then the Obama Administration and BATFE would never have needed to break the law!!!
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Using this twisted logic, they're calling for reviving the Clinton gun bans, outlawing gun shows, restricting "ammunition clips," rationing the number of guns you can buy, and requiring the registration of long gun sales.

So now, NRA has two battles on our hands... A battle to tell the American people the truth about Operation Fast and Furious, and a battle to fight off these new legislative assaults on our freedoms. DONATE

The Administration's refusal to fully cooperate with Congressional oversight is a true Constitutional crisis. If NRA members don't fight this battle and restore respect for accountability and the rule of law, no one else will.

Thank you for signing NRA's Petition to Fire Eric Holder. Thank you for your generous contribution. Thank you for standing with NRA during America's -- and Freedom's -- time of need.

Yours in Liberty,
Wayne LaPierre
Executive Vice President

A "Modern" King James Bible

2011-07-29T17:07:00.000-07:00

Should we create a "modern" King James Bible?

It's amazing to see what publishers are removing from modern Bibles!Author David W. Daniels is frequently asked whether or not we should "update" the King James Bible to remove "archaic" words found in it. People often are feeling pressured by their friends who harass them over their use of the King James, saying, "any Bible but that one!" Reproduced here is his answer to one such questioner:

I have considered the possibility of creating a "modern" King James Bible. But there are a number of questions that instantly stand before me:

1. Which words should I "update"? That is a very delicate question and means I should have a grasp of which words are "modern" and which are truly "archaic." But as Laurence M. Vance demonstrated in his Archaic Words and the Authorized Version (Revised 1999), quite a few of the words of the King James Bible are found in regular publications and in even modern Bible versions – just not in the places they are found in the King James! So can we truly call them words we must update?

2. How would I properly teach the 2nd person singular pronouns, since Modern English doesn't have pronouns or word-endings that indicate singular vs. plural for the 2nd person? They weren't even using that vocabulary in common speech when the King James was translated. That was done to preserve something that virtually every other language still had available—something that made sense out of some otherwise contradictory-looking scriptures, such as John 3:7 and Exodus 16:28.

3. When would I stop, once I started changing the holy words of scripture? At what point would I begin to realize I had changed the historical meanings of the words that God preserved so carefully? It is a great temptation to find a new "nuance" that no one else has ever found. I know this temptation. I had it before I came to realize the KJV was God's preserved words in English. I was already at work on my own translation on the New Testament, starting in Romans – and boy, did I EVER make some huge mistakes! I don't know that anyone can be trusted with that temptation, and I want to push it far from me.

4. Why would I change what from the beginning is only about an 8,000-word base vocabulary? (As a former Kindergarten teacher, I can tell you that's the average vocabulary of a 5 ½ year old.) I started teaching my kids and having them read the King James Bible at four years of age, and they have had no problems with it at all. They also are the most knowledgeable in their classes at church. That's their reading, blessed by God, being instructed by regular Bible-reading, not by me teaching them college-level courses. My friend's son, who had horrible speech problems, was given a King James to read at about 4-5 years (after my friend became convicted of God's preservation of His words in the KJV). And now he has improved so much that his teachers were asking my friend, "How did you do it?!" And my friend answered, "I have him read with us from the King James Bible!" What can they say? The evidence is right before them.

That's not all of the questions, but it is some of the very persuasive ones. In short, I'm quite scared to death of messing with God's holy words. That is why I wrote the King James Bible Companion, instead of trying to change a word. I want to bring my vocabulary UP, not the people's vocabulary DOWN.

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot
of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a
look back every now and then to make sure it's
still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot
easier'n puttin' it back.

felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up
until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Support Israel

2011-07-19T13:40:00.000-07:00

SIGN NEW PETITION! Sign to support PRO-ISRAEL HRes. 297 and 271 which defends Israel's right to defend her borders, and rejecting President Obama's call for a return to the indefensible 1967 borders. We will auto-fax 535 Congressmen. We've already delivered 62,000 petitions for Israel. Can you help us reach 100,000?

U.N. Security Council preparing to seize Jerusalem from Israel on July 11th, 26th.

The "Quartet" of USA, Russia, EU, and UN has scheduled July 11th in DC, and the United Nations Security Council has scheduled July 26th in New York, for open "debate" about whether or not they will seize Israeli land in September, and divide Jerusalem by establishing a Palestinian state, without negotiation or approval from Israel.

Haaretz newspaper reported Wednesday, "The UN Security Council plans to discuss in July [on the 26th] the possibility of Palestine becoming a United Nations member state, the Security Council president said on Tuesday. The Arab League has said it would request UN membership for a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital at the UN General Assembly in September."

Only the U.N. Security Council (seen right-->) can vote to recognize new nations, and move borders. It is composed of 15 member nations among which only 5 have veto authority: USA, Britain, France, China, and Russia.

"An upcoming Quartet meeting [is] a possible indicator on the situation," reported Haaretz. "The Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators...are expected to meet July 11th. The meeting, expected to take place in Washington, will come amid a U.S. push to revive peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians."

The fact any debate will occur on 11 or 26 July confirms a big U.N. vote will occur in September, and if President Obama's U.N. delegation fails to veto, Israel will forfeit half its land and Jerusalem will become the Muslim capitol of the new state of Palestine.

President Obama has recently signaled that the U.S. may not veto such a land-grab, as Abbas said last week on Lebanese TV, quote: "President Obama says he wants to see an independent Palestinian state by September." No wonder Abbas met with PLO leaders and decided to seize the moment, and East Jerusalem with it.

Israel would likely not recognize such a vote, and refuse to forfeit their land. Palestinians will declare independence and start a war in September, with the whole world against Israel. Except us. We must awaken the U.S. Congress to defend Israel now.

SELECT HERE TO SIGN new PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS, NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND, AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS. (WE WILL AUTO-FAX CONGRESS!)

A pro-Israel U.S. Congressman has introduced a brand new law to de-fund the United Nations if they dare to seize Israeli land, or if President Obama fails to veto any Palestinian land-grab of Jerusalem without permission from Israel.

Pro-Israel Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH, pictured right-->) who chairs the Subcommittee for mid-East relations, introduced H.R. 297, which says the United States should withhold "contributions to the regularly assessed biennial budget of the United Nations â€¦ if the General Assembly adopts a resolution in favor of recognizing a state of Palestine outside of or prior to a final status agreement negotiated between, and acceptable to, the State of Israel and the Palestinians."

The Washington Times confirms the U.N. plans an illegal vote to unilaterally recognize Palestine in September. "A unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood would be an illegal act that would violate the letter and the spirit of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). Those binding resolutions called for a negotiated settlement of the dispute with Israel with 'secure and recognized boundaries.'"

The Times also reports America supplies 22 percent of the U.N. budget, so de-funding would get their attention. "The United States cannot prevent this ill-advised move - it circumvents America's Security Council veto by design - but U.S. leaders can let it be known that the U.N. would incur more than just a political cost." The United Jersualem Foundation warns: "A unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood by the United Nations General Assembly would cause incalculable harm to peace and stability in the Middle East."

I just updated our petition words, to INCLUDE support for the new H.R. 297, but so far ZERO Congressman have co-sponsored Chabot's important bill. Please call your Congressman and both Senators at 202-224-3121, and say "please co-sponsor H.Res 297 to protect Israel's current borders, and defund the U.N. if President Obama refuses to veto their Jerusalem land-grab." Also please call every member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East here. Then fax our new petition words to all 535 Congressmen instantly here. Israel needs our support today...

SELECT HERE TO SIGN new PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS, NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND, AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS. (WE WILL AUTO-FAX CONGRESS!)

The Associated Press just reported "The West Bank Palestinian leadership formally decided Monday to press ahead with efforts in September to win U.N. recognition of a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem." Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met with members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (the same P.L.O. historically linked with violent terrorists of Hamas) and decided they will unilaterally seek United Nations permission to seize Israeli land without negotiation or consideration of Israeli sovereignty.

"Leading members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbasâ€™ Fatah movement met Sunday and later said in a statement that the goal is to bring a state of Palestine into the family of nations of the world....Only the U.N. Security Council can add a nation to the world body, and the U.S. government has repeatedly expressed its opposition to the move, signaling it will veto such a resolution," said one AP reporter.

However, President Obama has recently signaled the opposite, that the U.S. may not veto such a land-grab, as Abbas said last week on Lebanese TV, quote: "President Obama says he wants to see an independent Palestinian state by September." No wonder Abbas met with PLO leaders and decided to seize the moment, and East Jerusalem with it. "Palestinian officials hope U.N. recognition would force Israel to make concessions when negotiations resume...The statement did not say what form of U.N. recognition the Palestinians are seeking or what steps they might take after such a nod from the world body," said AP.

[Jon's comment: They will declare independence and cause a war. Abbas and the PLO do not want concessions "during negotiations." They plan to declare independence and fight for their newly claimed land, with U.N. and Obama's approval. There is war coming in September. If Israel refuses to comply, Obama will not veto, the U.N. will grant land, and Muslims will attack Israeli territory to seize East Jerusalem and the 1967 borders.]

Let's do everything we can to wake up the U.S. Congress...

SELECT HERE TO SIGN new PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS, NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND, AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS. (WE WILL AUTO-FAX CONGRESS!)

President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority said on Lebanese TV last week, quote: "President Obama says he wants to see an independent Palestinian state by September."

This confirms the likelihood Obama will direct America's U.N. representatives to NOT VETO the upcoming U.N. vote to seize Israeli land and establish an independent Palestine state, without any concern or negotiation for Israeli sovereignty.

Haaretz newspaper in Israel confirmed a unilateral vote will be forced upon Israel by the U.N. this September. "Israel's new ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor urged Jewish American leaders on Monday to form a clear and operational plan ahead of the United Nations vote in September regarding unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state," the report said.

If Obama does not veto this, it would immediately cause a violent war against Israel. Prosor also said that "regardless of the outcome of the UN vote, a Palestinian state will not be created and added that the UN is not authorized to dictate borders between countries." He stressed that "a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state will bring about another cycle of violence that will only lead to a dead end."

Obama could stop the coming war, simply by vetoing any U.N. resolution. "I don't know if the US has another option, but if it does, we will not go to the UN," Abbas told Lebanese TV. [In other words, Obama holds power to stop their unilateral demands, but he won't.]

Abbas, who claims 116 of the 195 member states of the UN General Assembly are willing to recognize a Palestinian state, has stressed that his government would go through with the declaration if negotiations with Israel remain deadlocked. Israel hopes for 30 nations against, but America is the only among them who could veto the U.N. land grab.

"Unilateral moves are not constructive," Prosor said after his first day on the job, emphasizing that there was still time to act before the vote.

A Poem Worth Reading

He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For old Joe has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.

He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician's salary
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier--
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his likes again.

For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."

Pass On The Patriotism!
YOU can make a difference!

YOU will take amnesty and LIKE it....

2011-07-07T14:10:00.000-07:00

Never mind the Constitutional requirement that the President must be a natural-born citizen of the United States...

... According to Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), one of the reported 200 undocumented aliens who packed a Congressional Committee room just days before the Independence Day recess may be a future Commander-in-Chief.

You read that right. During a Senate hearing held last week on his so-called DREAM Act, a bill to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants that the American people have rejected time and again, Durbin asked for all the illegal aliens sitting in the room to stand up and be recognized.

It soon became apparent that Durbin had "salted" the audience with hundreds of undocumented immigrants who would be granted citizenship under his legislation. Durbin then stated: “When I look around this room, I see America’s future, our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our congressmen, our senators, and maybe our president.”

When did breaking the laws of the United States become okay? When did it become acceptable for a member of the leadership in the United States Senate to reject the rule of law and recklessly ignore the plain language of the Constitution that he took an oath to support and defend?

One thing is certain... Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration have put on a full court press to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. And if Durbin’s legislative efforts fail, Barack Obama has shown recently that he has no problem making it happen via executive fiat
(Read more below to learn how).

And it is up to the American people to stop this amnesty train in its tracks... right here and right now. CLICK HERE

Obama: Where are his girl friends?????

Strange that none have popped up!!!!
Strange to the point of being down right WEIRD!

OK... this is past the 'birthers' questions.... this is just plain old
common sense, no political agendas for either side.

Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American
citizens, who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe
and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or
Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring
for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing
fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, and this is a personal thing...but it's niggled at me for ages
that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his
charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during
his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity....

We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship
and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurysms are no
secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton--we all know about their heart
problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or
"What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of this.... no classmates,
not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.

I just don't know about this fellow.

Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.

Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging
that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.

When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president
gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library. What has
he released?

And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?????

Does this make you wonder?

Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they
knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ? Not one person
has ever come forward from his past.

VERY, VERY STRANGE… This should really be a cause for great concern. To
those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced
shadow man.

Did you see a picture called The Manchurian Candidate?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to
school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the
clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something
about us.

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008
campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in
their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches
on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia --the
class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.

While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college
class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his
records?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia
University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there,
but none remembered him. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama,
a political science major at Columbia , who also graduated in 1983. In
2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that
knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew
Barack Obama at Columbia ... EVER!

Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83
political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer
than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."

At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to
be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five
years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class
notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows
everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama
consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia ,
provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or
friends while at Columbia ...

NOTE: Root graduated as valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983
as a political science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein
Obama states he was.

Some other interesting questions…

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?

It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one
Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.

WHAT!?

The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he
is never reported to have lived.

No wonder all his records are sealed!

Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to
know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the
scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm,
poise, and speaking pizzazz.

July 4th Conference

Pro-Family Public Advocate

2011-06-29T12:57:00.000-07:00

Dear Pro-Family American,

In the past, the radical homosexuals have attempted to kill me, even threatening and stalking my family. However, all that did was make me more determined than ever to fight them.

And with your help, I did.

Together, you and I have really rocked the Homosexual Lobby. We’ve held off so much of their agenda for so many years. You see your support is really the most important part of my efforts.

But now they want to take you out of the fight.

I’ve received letters from three different government agencies ordering me to stop sending mail to members like you.

One letter from a Post Office bureaucrat actually declared my correspondence with Public Advocate members to be obscene!

You see, in their sick world radical homosexuals can desecrate churches, spread their filth across the internet, and run naked through the very halls of Congress.

But when I try to tell people about it, my letters are labeled obscene by those who serve the homosexuals’ purposes.

And if they can find a judge who agrees with them, the legal consequences could be severe. Even if we win, the legal fees could destroy your Public Advocate.

That’s why I’m desperate for you to send a contribution of $50 or even $100 today. I need your help right away, so I ask you to send whatever you can afford today.

A second letter from deep within the bowels of the Tennessee bureaucracy threatened me with up to six months in prison and fines of up to $5,000 per letter for sending mail to our own members in Tennessee.

Another legal filing demanded I “cease and desist” from Public Advocate’s most effective lobbying campaign.

The outrageous charge? That Public Advocate is somehow impersonating an agency of the federal government.

You and I know their claims are ludicrous, but fighting back cost me tens of thousands of dollars at the time and now the Homosexual Lobby is stronger than ever.

With the Obama White House and Senate Democrats indebted to the Homosexual Lobby -- and Republicans betraying the family, the odds are already stacked against us. I cannot afford to cut contact with a single Public Advocate member.

And the radical homosexuals know it. If they can keep you from being informed about what they are up to in Washington, they will have a much better chance of passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights or the Homosexual Classrooms Act.

The Homosexual Lobby’s goal is to stop me from telling people what they’re up to. They would be giddy to learn that you’ve been kicked out of the fight.

Any day this could turn into a legal battle for your right to stay involved in Public Advocate’s fight for decency.

I’ve already been worried there won’t be enough money to fight effectively this year, without unexpected legal expenses.

All across America -- from California to New Hampshire -- Public Advocate is being called on to take a stand against the radical homosexuals.

With a costly legal battle on the horizon, Public Advocate might not have the resources to fight at all.

If they silence Public Advocate and pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights or the Homosexual Classrooms Act, they will have succeeded in normalizing their perverse lifestyle.

Perhaps because of the hard economic times, contributions have dropped sharply recently -- I hope it’s that, I’d hate to think supporters like you are giving up at this crucial time.

Please click here to help me. There’s simply no margin for error this year. If you and I don’t stand firm, we will lose.

The Homosexual Lobby will finally pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights AND the Homosexual Classrooms Act, establishing a whole set of special laws and privileges for homosexuals.

* These special laws will force schools, churches, day care centers, and nursing homes to employ confessed and admitted homosexuals including infected AIDS carriers and make it illegal to ever fire them.

* Millions of tax dollars will be given to radical homosexual front groups to “keep the money flowing.”

* Private and even religious schools will be forced to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment.”

In fact, it’s begun already.

Perhaps you’ve heard the stories of police protecting homosexual mobs as they harass church congregations and threaten the families that want to protect their children from homosexual depravity.

Radical Homosexual’s have even begun storming churches and harassing worshippers.

After all you and I have been through, the thought of losing now is unbearable. That’s why I will not let them intimidate me.

The fight is too important to let the enemy scare me off, no matter how many assaults, attempts on my life and threatening letters I get I will not give in.

When you and I beat them in Congress, they attacked me personally.

And when that failed, they attacked my family. Thank God, that attack failed too.

Now the enemy is trying to cripple me by dictating when and how I can talk to members like you.

You see, as long as you are standing with me, the radical homosexuals cannot win.

And they know it.

That’s what this attack is all about -- cutting you and I off from one another -- severing Public Advocate’s ability to mobilize the pro-family movement.

If they can stop me from contacting my members when they make their power grab, then Congress will never see the tens of thousands of petitions Public Advocate members normally send in.

If they succeed in that, they win. Period. End of story. There will be no one else to stop them.

You and I are the only ones who can make sure this latest attack fails as well.

Won’t you please send back the enclosed reply memo today, along with the most generous contribution you can afford?

Don’t let them stop us now.

Help me stay in the fight. Please.

Benjamin Franklin once said that “Unless we all hang together, assuredly we shall all hang separately.” Those words have never been truer than they are today.

If you and I work together, we can beat the radical homosexuals in Congress again this year.

If we don’t, they will pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights or the Homosexual Classrooms Act, probably both. Using those bills to silence our voices and normalize homosexuality, they will force homosexual “marriage,” homosexual adoption and other elements of the radical Homosexual Agenda on our society.

And once they’ve done that, they’ll have free access to our day care centers, elementary schools and everywhere else our children used to be safe.

I’m counting on your support --

I need to hear from you right away. Please send back the enclosed reply memo today.

Sincerely,

Eugene Delgaudio
President

P.S. I need your help to fight off those legal battles and be ready for the true fight in Congress. CLICK HERE

10 Commandments in court

2011-06-27T10:39:00.000-07:00

*THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE COURTS *

Is it reasonable that courts have become more and more hostile to
posting the Ten Commandments in courthouses across the country?

Even though it is universally agreed that the Ten Commandments are the
primary foundation of public law…and even though these basic
principles of law are emblazoned on the Supreme Court Building itself,
secular authorities are fanatical about removing any reference to our
Judeo-Christian heritage from public view.

The most rational response I’ve heard defending the courts’
hostility came from that noted legal scholar, Larry the cable guy. He
put his finger directly on the problem when he said, “The reason we
can’t have the 10 commandments posted in the courthouse is that you
can’t post ‘Thou shalt not steal’ or ‘Thou shalt not commit
adultery’ or ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness’ in a building
full of lawyers, judges and politicians…that creates a hostile
working environment.”

Thank goodness we have the media to tell us who is smart and who is not....

Oh yeah, and what about fascism....

The Left would call President Bush a fascist incessantly, so much so that most Patchouli-smelling libs even created calendar reminders in their Outlook for the occasion.

Mirakel: It's now 1:55 p.m. We're supposed to be calling that warmonger Bush a fascist and criminal of the universe in 5 minutes. Celeste: Wow, time flies when you're having fun. You can start without me. I'm putting a Co-Exist bumper sticker on my Chevy Volt.

The thing is that President Bush never demanded that grocery manufacturers alter their ingredients or else face stern penalties, including banishment from the airwaves. You read that correctly. Under the rubric of combating childhood obesity, The Federal Trade Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are ordering food producers to retool the amount of sugar, sodium, and fats in their products, particularly those marketed to children. If not, come 2016, the violating manufacturers are forbidden from advertising on television, in video games, or in any other venue that children are drawn to.

Now that's fascism—a government body telling a private operation how they will run shop, even down to the particulars of food ingredients!

Flag Day

2011-06-14T11:27:00.000-07:00

Our American Flag
by Ellen Bailey

Our flag is one with colors ever so bright
A symbol of good and all that’s right
It is a beacon for those who are oppressed
Who long to live in the land of the blessed

It represents a dream to those from afar
That things can be much better than they are
They look upon our flag as an emblem of hope
When from their oppression they would elope

Our flag stands for freedom and basic human rights
It serves to rally when we must fight
It was conceived in battle when our country was young
And many have defended it since our freedom was won

It represents a place where dreams can come true
Where men and women can live life as they chose
Without fear of some maniacal regime
That stands ready to crush their dream

Our flag stands for liberty and justice for all
It stands for a country ruled by law
And when in a parade I see it pass by
I cannot hide my patriotic pride

=====
With the GOP presidential debate in New Hampshire, all eyes are focusing on the 2012 presidential race, but as we've been telling you, that election has a very important milestone coming on July 12th. That's the date that Barack Obama's campaign team and MoveOn.org hope to seize control of the Wisconsin State Legislature through six RECALL campaigns against Republicans.

Democrats have announced that if they win these RECALL campaigns they will then move to RECALL Republican Governor Scott Walker next. If they succeed they will likely tip the scales of whether Barack Obama wins Wisconsin in the 2012 race, or if the Republican nominee will win.

Today we learned of an act of political courage from one of the Republicans being targeted in the RECALL campaigns. Democrats and MoveOn.org operatives tried to smear Republican Alberta Darling by linking her to GOP House Rep. Paul Ryan - using the scare tactics that they used to win the 26th Congressional District in New York recently.

And do you know what Republican Alberta Darling did when they tried this smear? Did she sell out her principles or Paul Ryan? NO! Instead she made us all proud. Here's what she had to say:

"They were trying to tie me to Ryan and thought that would be a negative for me,” she says. “I’m standing with Ryan — anytime, anywhere.”

“Go Paul Ryan!” Darling adds. “He’s absolutely a hero!”

We need to reward this act of political courage, friends, and stand by Alberta Darling's side and all of the Republicans who are having to fight off Barack Obama's political machine and the fundraising efforts by MoveOn.org to steal control of the state of Wisconsin and put it into the hands of radical leftists.

Please make a contribution of $25, $50 or $100 or, if you can afford it, a more generous contribution of $250, $500, $1,000 or more so we can fund these efforts against Barack Obama and MoveOn.org. To support our efforts - CLICK HERE TO DONATE

PRE-DECLINED

2011-06-12T20:17:00.000-07:00

For updates on our services at TLBC today please see our website at TLBC or go to our Facebook Page HERE.

Grassfire Nation has made special arrangements for every
member of Congress -- AND PRESIDENT OBAMA -- to receive a
special message telling them they CANNOT BORROW ANY MORE
MONEY ON YOUR BEHALF!

We worked with a design team to create the "Pre-Declined"
credit card and we want to ship it to your members of Congress
telling them they are "Pre-Declined."

This card looks and feels just like those "pre-approved"
credit card mailers that fill up your mailbox -- except
this card is stamped PRE-DECLINED! Go here to see:

OUR GOAL IS TO SHIP EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS AT LEAST 50
PRE-DECLINED CREDIT CARDS WITH THE FIRST SHIPMENT SLATED
FOR LATER THIS MONTH. WE ALSO WANT PRESIDENT OBAMA TO RECEIVE
THOUSANDS OF PRE-DECLINED CARDS.

AS OF TODAY, WE ARE FAR SHORT OF THIS GOAL.

Will you step forward and help us meet this
important goal? Go here now:

Government spending is out of control. According to the latest
government figures, your household's portion of
the real federal debt is a staggering $534,000.

That's because the published debt ($14 trillion) is just a
fraction of the REAL obligations of the U.S. government --
which USA Today reports in $61.6 trillion. That total
includes all the unfunded obligations from the many federal
entitlement programs -- and that number will undoubtedly
skyrocket when ObamaCare is rolled out.

And now the politicians are greasing the skids to further
expand the debt by raising the debt ceiling.

+ + Obama added to notification list

Please note that we just added Barack Obama to the official
notification list for the "Pre-Declined" credit cards. The
White House does not usually accept hand-deliveries, so we
originally left Obama off the list. But in our meetings this
morning, we realized we simply had to find a way to get the
"Pre-Declined" cards delivered to the White House.

My staff has found a way and I'm thrilled to report that every
"Pre-Declined" order will include a shipment to Obama.
Please go here now to have the "Pre-Declined" credit card
sent to Obama, your congressmen, and other members of Congress.

Thanks for taking a stand!

Move ON...

2011-06-06T10:53:00.000-07:00

Don't you wish the Socialist crowd would indeed - move on?

Those dirty tricksters on the Left who work for MoveOn.org and George Soros were in the news this morning on Fox News Channel. Maybe you saw the report - they got a lower court judge to invalidate Governor Scott Walker's budget reform act.

Hopefully the Supreme Court will reverse the decision. But no matter what happens we have a very urgent problem on our hands that we must respond to! MoveOn.org and Barack Obama's political hacks have qualified RECALL campaigns against SIX (6) Republican Senators in Wisconsin.

If they win just three of those campaigns they will take control of the Wisconsin State Legislature away from Republicans and be able to block every single piece of legislation from Gov. Scott Walker - and then they will move to RECALL Gov. Scott Walker next. They said so this weekend at the Wisconsin Democrat Party Convention.

Here's the worst part for us, fellow patriots. They are raising huge amounts of money and have outraised us by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fellow patriots - if those leftists at MoveOn.org can raise more than $450,00 for their efforts to smear conservatives and try to boot them from office, then we must all pull together to raise the money to fight back!

Please contribute to our effort to fight back. I hope you can make a contribution of $25, $50 or $100 or, if you can afford it, a more generous contribution of $250, $500, $1,000 or more so we can fund these efforts.

To support our efforts - CLICK HERE TO DONATE

We're looking for 1,200 people to contribute $100 or more by the end of this weekend. Please, do your part to help!

I want us to raise $100,000 within this week to fight back against these RECALL campaigns. I will have our staff send an update on Friday letting you know the progress we've made. Please, please, please - help us reach this goal and ensure that these RECALL campaigns are defeated - CLICK HERE TO DONATE

DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS FOR OBAMA OFFICIALS

URGENT UPDATE: NEW EVIDENCE COMES OUT OF OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS' INVOLVEMENT IN PLAN TO EFFECTUALLY REWRITE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. SOROS-FUNDED EFFORT TO FORCE AMERICA INTO ACCEPTING A MARXIST MANIFESTO BY 2012 UNDERWAY IN OBAMA FACTION, LED BY KEY EXECUTIVE BRANCH APPOINTEES.

DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS TO STOP
THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICA – SELECT HERE!

Just days after Marxist Free Market Saboteur Steve Lerner's plans for mass May Day national economic disruptions have become known via secretly caught exposure of a taped meeting with other extremists, now new evidence implicates the Obama White House in sedition. Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein; his wife Samantha Power, Senior Director of the National Security Council; and Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder are key players in a related plot to dismantle and destroy America's Constitutional republic.

In April 2005, Sunstein opened a conference at Yale Law School sponsored by George Soros' Open Society Institute entitled, "The Constitution in 2020." The event was designed as a forum to craft the agenda and assign the tasks for changing the nature and interpretation of the Constitution into a fully "progressive" Marxist Manifesto by the year 2020. Sunstein was a natural fit for the conference, as his 2004 book, "The Second Bill of Rights: FDR'S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever" proposed a radical new document to replace America's traditional Bill of Rights.

The conference was co-sponsored by the American Constitution Society, another hard Left Marxist organization which seeks to rewrite the Constitution. Attorney General Eric Holder not only previously served on the ACS Board of Directors, but is keynote speaker for their 2011 Convention.

The Obama faction onslaught against America is coming from all sides. A union thug with White House connections plots to crash the American economy while high ranking Obama officials seek to subvert the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We MUST compel Congress to open investigations and HALT the Obama wrecking crew that is daily dismantling America!

New audio has just been released which outlines a very real plan to collapse the American economy — including crashing the stock market and "bring down the banks" — in an effort to finally and irrevocably bring about the fundamental change, radical change, Obama promised. The sinister plan is set to take place the first week of May… and evidence suggests the plan may go all the way to the White House.

Steve Lerner

Steve Lerner is well known in union thug circles as the guy who uses intimidation to ensure success. March 19, 2011 Steve Lerner met with Abby Scher of Brooklyn College CUNY, Gerardo Dominguez of the Mexican Americans Workers Association, John Atols of ACORN and a number of other openly Marxist activists. Surrounded by fellow radicals , Mr. Lerner, unaware he was being recorded, felt comfortable enough to lay out his step by step plan to "put a boot in the wheel" of the American economy – crashing the stock market and orchestrating a complete banking collapse – in an effort to force Marxism upon the masses. Full audio with transcripts of Lerner's plot can be found on You Tube, at The Blaze website where this story broke, and all over the Internet.

Lerner identifies this as a union-driven plan, presumably crafted by his cronies at the SEIU, and he calls for the aid of community organizers. But evidence suggests Lerner may already have the assistance of the Community Organizer in Chief – Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama SEIU Speech

White House visitor logs show that Stephen Lerner has visited the White House repeatedly over the last two years. At least one of these visits was arranged by the office of then White House Political Director Patrick Gaspard – one of Lerner's previous SEIU colleagues and former leader of one of the most notoriously militant SEUI chapters. Gaspard, not coincidentally, is a close Obama advisor who is now the Executive Director of the Democratic National Party and a key player on Obama's 2012 election team.

Obama made clear in a now infamous 2008 campaign rally that SEIU's agenda is his agenda. Obama led a SEIU member chant after recalling how he started his early "organizing career" with SEIU troops on the ground, and went on to declare, "Just imagine what we can do together. Just imagine a President whose life's work is your (SEIU's) work"! It seems we no longer need to imagine. The present occupant of the Oval Office has brought sedition to the presidency — the highest office in the land. Barack Obama's own front group "Organizing for America" helped stage the recent Wisconsin "Days of Rage" protests that were notable for union-led violence, death threats and radical acts of intimidation, and now it appears he and his administration may be connected to a far-left coalition actively plotting to collapse the American economy.

DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS TO STOP
THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICA – SELECT HERE!

My friends, Stephen Lerner's closed-attendance discussion at The Left Forum was not some simple academic and theoretical discussion of what revolutionary resistance might look like. It was a high-level presentation of a very real, well thought out plan that is underway for economic terrorism, and a recruitment call to leftwing radical leaders of other organizations to join in it. Stephen Lerner's terrorist plans, and actions of incitement and enlistment are outright sedition, all potentially prosecutable offenses.

In normal circumstances, we could count on the Department of Justice to investigate and uphold the rule of law. But alas, as we have seen with Eric Holder's refusal to prosecute colleagues, supporters and friends of Obama, including the election fraud and racist thuggery at the hands of the New Black Panthers, the once venerable DOJ is a rogue agency in a rogue administration, and can no longer be trusted to do its duty. Why have not the murky, possibly orchestrated causes behind the terrible economic crisis of the 2008 national fiscal collapse been investigated and disclosed to the nation? No, we must instead call upon this 112th Congress, and demand an immediate investigation of Stephen Lerner, and all of those who participated in his conspiratorial call to anarchy, sedition and economic terrorism on March 19. That investigation must include disclosure of all the participants and plotters lurking behind the scenes who are actively working to disrupt and destroy America — even if that road leads us directly to the White House.

Obama

This is no longer a matter of speculation. The Marxist plan to smash our commercial republic is alive and active within the corridors of power in America as never before. Their plans to launch their latest assault on these United States is scheduled for, of course, May Day — May 1, 2011 — and has been sounded to their foot soldiers as a very real and potentially calamitous call to harm our nation. We were warned when Obama first appeared on the national scene that he was at the least an academic Marxist surrounded by radicals, and a menace to the security, sovereignty and prosperity of the nation. Now there is evidence in abundance to confirm that judgment. We MUST force Congress to act NOW – before the evil forces that mean to destroy America are able to implement their plans. The very survival of our country is at stake if we do not take seriously the threat within. We implore you, fax Congress TODAY.

Don't let them push it through.

STOP OBAMACARE IMPLEMENTATION NOW!

UPDATE: With just days left in the existing Continuing Resolution, Speaker John Boehner is once again capitulating to the demands of Harry Reid & Barack Obama. Congress must be told in no uncertain terms – STOP OBAMACARE!

Reps. Michele Bachmann & Steve King are pressing Congress to do its' duty by stopping the UNCONSTITUTIONAL and BUDGET-BUSTING implementation of ObamaCare and revoking the $105.5 billion in "start- up" funds allocated by Nancy Pelosi's treacherous 111th Congress.

I am Ambassador Alan Keyes of the political action group, Patriot PAC, and I am asking for YOUR help to ensure Congress HEARS AND OBEYS the expressed Will of the People!

HELP PUSH THE BACHMANN-KING AMENDMENT! — SELECT HERE

Rep. Steve King and Michele Bachmann are standing true to their oath of office and Constitutional conservative principles, and demanding Congress do its sworn duty — DEFUND OBAMACARE. Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, this has been an uphill battle, filled with resistance from old guard, "go along to get along" Republicans, who seem more afraid of Harry Reid's name calling, than of the Will and Constitutional Sovereignty of the People.

The fact is, ObamaCare has already been given $105,464,000,000.00 to begin UNCONSTITUTIONAL implementation. Unless that money is cut off now, irrevocably and unequivocally, ObamaCare will be here to stay.

Rep. King has already attempted to insert language into previous bills that would stop this funding. But every time, the old guard Republicans, (like Speaker Boehner), have thwarted the effort to retract the ObamaCare seed money. Rep. Michele Bachmann is to be commended for taking up the cause and bringing this issue more commandingly to the public eye. Now it is up to US to fully engage the fight and flood Congress with demands to STOP ALL OBAMACARE FUNDS NOW!

Below is a copy of the Bachmann/King letter. I strongly encourage you to join me in ENDORSING THIS LETTER, and faxing a copy to Congress with your signature alongside that of Rep. Steve King and Michele Bachmann. Congress must be told in no uncertain terms that we will not tolerate back door funding and implementation of the devious, destructive and grossly unconstitutional ObamaCare scheme.

HELP PUSH THE BACHMANN-KING AMENDMENT! — SELECT HERE

Dear Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and Chairman Rogers,

We very much appreciate your leadership in bringing H.R. 2 to the floor, which resulted in a unanimous Republican vote to repeal ObamaCare. This was an essential step in achieving our universal Republican goal to bring about the final, 100 percent repeal of this law. No strategy to accomplish this goal could succeed without this House vote.

From the moment legislation to repeal ObamaCare was first introduced, it has been widely discussed that a successful repeal strategy would center on first winning a Republican majority in the House, then holding a clean, up or down vote on repeal, and then prohibiting funding for the implementation or enforcement of ObamaCare. We must ensure that this strategy remains on track and on schedule.

The success of our effort to shut off funding for ObamaCare will hinge on the leverage points of this first session of the 112th Congress — namely the CR, which expires on March 18th, and the vote on raising the debt ceiling. We recognize the work to defund ObamaCare began with the inclusion of language in H.R. 1 to restrict annual appropriations from being used to implement the law. However, we also recognize that even this language, if enacted, leaves on the table $105.5 billion in automatically appropriated funds for the law's implementation. We cannot successfully defund ObamaCare without shutting off these automatically appropriated funds.

While some have argued that our defunding efforts in the CR should be limited only to those annual funds actually provided by the CR, we disagree. If we do not stand our ground on the CR, leverage it as the "must pass bill" that it is, and use it to stop the $105.5 billion in automatically appropriated funds, ObamaCare will be implemented on our watch. We will also have conceded a significant amount of ground on this issue and will find it difficult, if not impossible, to regain the strategic advantage in future legislative vehicles.

Consequently, we ask that the following language, or more effective language, be added to the FY11 CR to cut off both the annual and automatic appropriations for ObamaCare's implementation: "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the funds made available by this or any previous Act with respect to any fiscal year may be used to carry out the provisions of Public Law 111-148, Public Law 111-152, or any amendment made by either such Public Law."

It is essential that the above language be included in the CR. We, the undersigned, will not vote in support of a continuing resolution that is void of this crucial funding prohibition.

Sincerely,

Steve King Michele Bachmann

Last weekend, Marion and I attended an all day seminar on food preparation and preservation. It was OUTSTANDING. It was put on by some of our new friends in the Tacoma 912 Group here in town. Hours and hours and hours went into the preparation for this class and you can get a copy of the binder with all of the information in the class if you wish. I HIGHLY recommend it. Be prepared. Know how to survive if there is a natural or "man made" catastrophe in your neighborhood. The stores only have about three days of supplies on the shelf. What will happen if things are not under control by then? The material in this class tells how to safely and properly prepare and preserve enough for your family to survive without depending on someone else. There is a limited number of binders available (at cost)for $25.00. Let me know if you are interested and I can tie you in with the folks that put it together.

Last Monday Marion and I attended an all day seminar up in Bellevue, WA. sponsored by the "Family Policy Institute of Washington" on "Politics According to the Bible". It was also very good and I thank Pastor Perry Ames for telling me about it. The theme went very well with the monthly Bible Study we are having along these same lines.

Friday we attended the funeral of the son of a dear old friend of ours. It was difficult. Parents always feel that we should not have to attend the funeral of our children. It was good to see brother Art in our worship services today and we are continuing to pray for him as he grieves the loss of his son.

Saturday was "Community Clean up Day" and we got a lot accomplished around the old homestead here. We took two truck loads of junk to the dump and donation station that was set up near by and made at least a little dent in getting things in better order around here.

Good services in the House of the Lord today. See sermon outlines and hear the audio by going to our TLBC website. click here

Same old STINK

2011-05-21T21:53:00.000-07:00

The Daily Caller has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rate review rules, which it finalized on Thursday, exempt “Medigap” policy providers, like the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), from oversight when such providers increase payment rates for their supplemental insurance plans.

Insurance providers who aren’t exempt from Obamacare’s rate review rules are required to publicly release and explain some health care payment rate increases.

The AARP is the nation’s biggest seller of Medigap policies, or supplemental healthcare plans that add onto what Medicare won’t cover for seniors. The senior citizens interest group advocated for Obamacare to include an attack on Medigap policies’ biggest competitor, Medicare Advantage.

Though the White House and HHS dismiss allegations of political favoritism when it comes to who’s getting exceptions from the new health care regulations – such as in the recent uproar over the disproportionate number of Obamacare waivers that went to companies in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district — Obamacare critics say the mere appearance of the administration helping friends is disturbing.

2 more hits against bill of rights in California

2011-05-17T16:38:00.000-07:00

A double-whammy came down today against gun rights advocates in California. First, the California Assembly voted to prohibit the open carry of unloaded handguns. Current law had allowed unloaded weapons to be carried openly in public.

"You are disarming our citizens" while doing little to disarm criminals, said Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber.

"It is not just the right to keep, it is the right to bear arms," said Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks.

California Democrats had seized upon the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the bill's introduction. Unable to pass a bill last year that accomplished the same goal, they brought a similar measure to the Assembly days after the Giffords tragedy in Arizona.

The second blow came (where else?) in a U.S. district coutroom, where a judge claimed that "there is no constitutional right to carry a handgun in public" - something that came as a surprise to Second Amendment lawyer Alan Gura, who litigated the case on the side of gun rights advocates.

Judge Morrison England, a Bush appointee, handed down the decision. The real irony, though? Judge England argued that, because California law allowed the open carry of unloaded weapons meant that gun rights advocates' concern for individual safety could be superceded. I wonder what he would have said if he knew, on this very day, that Democrats in the Assembly would be eliminating his rationale to overrule Californians' Second Amendment rights?

there they go again

Barack Obama and his allies in Congress are now resorting to extortion when it comes to granting Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Their latest ploy? Give us Amnesty and then we'll "talk" about constraining our out-of-control spending.

Seriously... We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.

According to the Washington Examiner: "[Senator Dick] Durbin told Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) on Fox Sunday News program that if the GOP passed the DREAM Act, Democrats would be more willing to talk about reducing the country’s spending habit."

Durbin added that when it comes to granting Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, "we're not giving up" because NOT pushing the so-called DREAM Act down the throats of the American people "isn't what the American people want us to do. It isn't the American way."

And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chimed in on the DREAM Act as well and said that it's time to "rise up" and that the DREAM Act is "good for everybody.”

No Harry, it really isn’t. The American people have rejected it time and again. Yet, you still continue on and on about it like a broken record.

The DREAM Act is still bad for America, no matter how many times Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Dick Durbin try to ram it down our throats.

How Many Times Must We Fight This Battle?

The DREAM Act, like just about every other piece of legislation proposed by the radical left, is nothing less than snake oil.

On the surface, it sounds so caring... so good. Liberals preach to us that the DREAM Act is all about “helping people” and “providing a safety net.”

Harry Reid tells us that his DREAM Act is simply a means for the children of illegal aliens to further their education.

He admonishes us that it's simply not right to "punish" children for the "sins" of their parents.

But, as you should already know, what Harry Reid says and what is actually written in his legislation are often two entirely different things. And by now, we shouldn't have to tell you what's wrong with Harry Reid's so-called DREAM Act. You already know that it's a NIGHTMARE.

In short, Harry Reid's DREAM Act is just one more stealth attempt (in a long line of stealth attempts) to trick the American people into granting Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

It's an insult to hard-working Americans who play by the rules and submit themselves to the law and it's a slap in the face to the tens-of-thousands of people who come to our shores LEGALLY each and every year.

Harry Reid's DREAM Act can be stopped... it must be stopped... and only you can stop it by taking action now.

The DREAM Act Is Not Really Just for Children... IT GRANTS AMNESTY TO ADULTS.

If past versions of Harry Reid’s DREAM Act are any litmus to gauge what pro-amnesty advocates have in store for us, then buckle your seatbelts... we're in for a bumpy ride.

DREAM Act proponents pitch it as a means to legitimize the immigration status of the children of illegal aliens and grant those children residency and a path to citizenship as long as they attend college or enter the armed forces.

But the reality is this: The DREAM Act is not really for children... IT WOULD GRANT AMNESTY TO MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIEN ADULTS AS WELL.

Previous incarnations of the DREAM Act specifically stipulated that anyone under the age of 35, who has resided illegally in the United States for at least five years, was eligible for amnesty under the Act.

DREAM also stipulated that the applicant only need be "admitted" to an institution of higher learning.

And, moreover, once an application was submitted, the applicant was given six years of permanent residence in the United States.

But, here's the big loophole that no one wanted to discuss back then. The version of the DREAM Act that Reid and Durbin pushed last fall did not actually require an amnesty applicant to produce valid evidence that he or she met the above criteria.

In other words... any applicant, under the age of 35, who had resided in this country for five years simply needed to enroll for a course at the local community college and bingo... they were in.

Of course, if the applicant had just crossed the border a few days prior... or if the applicant was actually over the age of 35... or if the applicant didn't want to go through the hassle of actually attending classes at the local community college.... that wasn't a problem... the applicant simply had to lie.

No one was going to check.

But wait... there's more. As previously stated, the last incarnation of the DREAM Act was a backdoor Amnesty for an even greater number of illegal aliens.

Mark Krikorian, writing in National Review Online, put the issue in perspective: "And for those who say the DREAM Act would be a small amnesty, for just a handful of 'kids,' the Migration Policy Institute, a pro-amnesty outfit, has estimated that 2.1 million illegal immigrants could benefit from it."

But the estimate of 2.1 million was just the tip of the iceberg, because once you awarded these "kids" a path to citizenship, welfare benefits and in-state tuition (legal aliens, by the way typically pay out-of-state tuition), we would have also given them the "right" to sponsor large numbers of their family members.

Essentially, the DREAM Act was (and still is) a back-door amnesty for just about every illegal alien presently in the United States and the millions who are just waiting to sneak across the border.

The DREAM Act Stinks To High Heaven

Using children as unwitting pawns in a devious game of political chess proves once again how low Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and the pro-amnesty lobby are willing to sink to get their way.

The American people have rejected the DREAM Act on a number of occasions over the last several years. One would at least think that Reid and Durbin would have the decency to put their garbage on ice.

But true to form, these liberals never give up. Like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going and going and going, oblivious to the fact that the American people have already said “NO” to amnesty.

Of course, is that not how they always behave? When Reid tried to ram his DREAM Act down our throats during last fall's lame duck session of Congress, Arizona Republican Rep. Jeff Flake said that “it was written as if the election in November never happened.”

Rush Limbaugh said: "They know exactly what they're doing, they're not tone deaf. They didn't miss anything. These people are bitter. They are bitter at having been defeated, and this is their revenge."

Limbaugh added: "They don't care about the country. This is all about them. It is all about the last gasp opportunity they have to infect and poison this country with their ideology and their ideas. They are destroying and hijacking this country right in front of our eyes. ... They don't care, folks, they don't care about the country, and they don't care about you."

And it would appear that they're still bitter. It's time to spike the DREAM Act once and for all.

Food Prep

Last Thursday I attended a meeting and saw a video moderated by David Barton and published by wallbuilders.com on the subject of our American Heritage and the Founding Fathers. I wish everyone in America could view this video. It documents with the "original Documents" that our Founding Fathers were devout men of God and outspoken Christians contrary to what we are spoon fed by modern revisionist historians.

Yesterday Marion and I attend an all day seminar on food preparation and preparedness for possible natural or man made catastrophes. It was put on by some of the folks (see pictures) in the Tacoma 912 Group here I am a member.

Good services today at TLBC. Sermon outlines and audio are available on our church website.

Tomorrow, Lord willing, we will attend a Pastor's Conference up in Bellevue, Washington dealing with modern politics and the Biblical World View.

National Day of Prayer

2011-05-05T08:45:00.000-07:00

Today is the 2011 National Day of Prayer.

Prior to the founding of our nation, the Continental Congress issued a proclamation recommending a "day of publick [sic] humiliation, fasting, and prayer" be observed on July 20, 1775.

During the Quasi-War with France, President John Adams declared May 9, 1798, a "day of solemn humility, fasting and prayer."

On March 30, 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation expressing the idea "that the awful calamity of civil war [sic] which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins" and designated April 30, 1863 as a day of "national humiliation, fasting and prayer" in hopes that God would respond by restoring our "now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace. It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all of history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."

More recently, Billy Graham is attributed with the introduction of a national day of prayer, suggesting it in a multi-week crusade at the nation's capitol. Members of the House and Senate introduced a joint resolution for an annual National Day of Prayer "on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at church, in groups and as individuals." On April 17, 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed the bill.

In his 1983 declaration, President Ronald Reagan said, "From General Washington's struggle at Valley Forge to the present, this Nation fervently sought and received divine guidance as it pursued the course of history. This occasion provides our Nation an opportunity to further recognize the source of our blessings, and to seek His help for the challenges we face today and in the future."

A great source of inspiration for any student of history, you will be uplifted and challenged by reading Prayers and Presidents: Inspiring Faith from Leaders of the Past by WILLIAM J. FEDERER.

In this book, you will find a chapter on every president, from George Washington to George W. Bush, with excerpts from Proclamations, Addresses to Congress, Executive Orders and Personal Correspondence and Memoirs.

For example:

"Went to church and fasted all day."-GEORGE WASHINGTON, Diary Entry, June 1, 1774, day British blockaded Boston's harbor.

From George Washington's orders for troops to attend divine services to Harry S. Truman's annual day of prayer, America's leaders of the past have a tradition of faith, especially in times of crises!

"Appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions..."-THOMAS JEFFERSON, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

"That the citizens of these States, abstaining on that day from their customary worldly occupations...acknowledge before God the manifold sins and transgressions...as individuals and as a nation, beseeching Him...through the Redeemer of the World, freely to remit all our offenses, and to incline us by His Holy Spirit to that sincere repentance and reformation."-JOHN ADAMS, Day of Fasting declared during a threatened war with France, March 23, 1798

"In the present time of public calamity and war a day may be recommended to be observed by the people of the United States as a day of...humble adoration to the Great Sovereign of the Universe, of confessing their sins and transgressions, and of strengthening their vows of repentance."-JAMES MADISON, Day of Fasting, November 16, 1814, after British burned the Capital

"In a time of war humbly and devoutly to acknowledge our dependence on Almighty God and to implore His aid and protection...I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby...exhort my fellow-citizens...to pray Almighty God that He may forgive our sins."-WOODROW WILSON, Day of Fasting May 11, 1918, during World War I

"Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion and our civilization...Help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice."-FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, June 6, 1944, D-Day Prayer on Allied Invasion of Normandy, France

"America needs God more than God needs America. If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."-RONALD REAGAN, August 23, 1984, at Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, Dallas, Texas

Well, - as much as I have been disappointed and discouraged with Barack Obama for the past couple of years, I have to admit - I REALLY ENJOYED his speech tonight as he announced that American forces have taken down and killed the number one terrorist in the world, Osama Bin Laden. I confess that there was a great feeling of satisfaction in my soul when I heard the news. I watched Hiraldo and others expressing jubilance at the news and wanted to do the same and then I thought of the following text...

Prov 24:17-22
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? (KJV)

The Green thing

2011-04-25T08:04:00.000-07:00

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should
bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the
environment.

The woman apologized to him and explained,
"We didn't have the green thing back in my day."

The clerk responded, "That's our problem today.
The former generation did not care enough to save our environment."

It is true, that generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Back then, they returned their milk bottles,
soda bottles and beer bottles to the store.
The store sent them back to the plant to be washed
and sterilized and refilled,
so it could use the same bottles over and over.
So they really were recycled.

But they didn't have the green thing back in that day.

In her day, they walked up stairs,
because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and
didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine
every time they had to go two blocks.

But she was right. They didn't have the green thing in her day.

Back then, they washed the baby's diapers
because they didn't have the throw-away kind.
They dried clothes on a line,
not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -
wind and solar power really did dry the clothes.
Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters,
not always brand-new clothing.

But that old lady is right, they didn't have the green thing back in her day.

Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house -
not a TV in every room.
And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief,
not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because
they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you.
When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail,
they used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it,
not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline
just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power.
They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club
to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

But they didn't have the green thing back then.

They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty
instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time
they had a drink of water.
They refilled their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen,
and they replaced the razor blades in a razor
instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But they didn't have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus
and kids rode their bikes to school or walked
instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.
They had one electrical outlet in a room,
not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.
And they didn't need a computerized gadget
to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space
in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks
were just because they didn't have the green thing back then?

TAX Day

2011-04-15T18:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I drove down to the Capital today to participate in the Tax Day Tea Part Freedom Rally. The 2009 Rally was AMAZING. Last year It was about half as good. This year it was rainy, cold and gray but the core members of several Patriot Groups were there. Similar meetings were held around the state in various other cities so the attendance in Olympia wasn't as impressive as usual. But the leftists must be getting worried because there were some paid protesters that were bussed in to disrupt the speakers and chant "We Want Health Care". I took a few snapshots.

Prayin in America is .... OK!

A federal appeals court has ruled that the National Day of Prayer is legitimate, ordering that a lawsuit claiming the event is unconstitutional be dismissed.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation had filed the suit and U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb had ruled the federal government's observation of prayer unconstitutional, in spite of numerous U.S. Supreme Court rulings protecting religious invocations. That ruling was taken to the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago where, as Liberty Institute attorney Jeff Mateer explains, the panel ruled Thursday that the atheist organization does not have legal standing to bring a challenge to the President's proclamation declaring a National Day of Prayer.

What the 7th Circuit [also] held was that in order for a plaintiff to bring a lawsuit challenging a law, they have to have sustained a real legal injury. They must have been harmed in some way. And the Foundation, was found to not be suffering.

Mateer also says the decision goes beyond the National Day of Prayer and the presidential proclamation. "What this decision means is that communities throughout our country that have National Day of Prayer ceremonies -- that those are perfectly constitutional, that they can proceed," says the attorney.

Liberty Institue says it "applaud[s] the Seventh Circuit's dismissal of this desperate attempt to erase our country's rich history of calling for prayer," labeling it another indication of attempts to "censor religious expression in the public arena."

This year's solemn event is May 5.

What a good writer can do...

It just all depends on how you look at some things..

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree.. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle.

Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:

"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks!

Another Anti-gun bill...

2011-04-14T19:57:00.000-07:00

-------

If passed, Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy’s Magazine Ban Bill would outlaw the sale or transfer of firearm magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds.

Already own a handgun, rifle or shotgun with a magazine that holds more than ten rounds?

You’re “legal” for now. But you can’t ever sell it, give it away or pass it down to your kids.

In fact, Congresswoman McCarthy’s bill would turn widows into instant FELONS if their late husbands possessed a 12-round magazine!

http://www.nagr.org/HR308Petition.aspx?pid=1&r=5

Of course, all this is bad enough. But it’s not even close to the end of it.

News reports are that President Obama recently met with House Republicans where he likely made whatever promises he had to in order to pass H.R. 308 with as little publicity as possible.

His goal is simply to “get the camel’s nose under the tent.”

Then, once H.R. 308 goes to the Senate, the White House is preparing to launch an all-out WAR on our Second Amendment freedoms!

That's why I need you to sign this petition IMMEDIATELY.

http://www.nagr.org/HR308Petition.aspx?pid=1&r=5

If we don't stop him now, we risk losing even more of our rights.

In fact, once the bill reaches the Senate floor, my inside sources are telling me dozens of amendments are already in the works, including:

*** Mandatory waiting periods, and expensive, drawn-out “psychological screenings” designed to force ALL law-abiding citizens to get government approval before purchasing a firearm;

*** A TOTAL ban on all private sales under the guise of “closing the gun-show loophole”;

*** A new so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban, targeting ALL semi-automatic rifles and shotguns -- which, unlike the Clinton ban, will NEVER expire;

*** A National Concealed Carry “Standard” -- designed to make it even more difficult for law-abiding citizens to carry a gun to protect themselves and their families from murderers like Jared Loughner.
Don’t get tricked by this one -- this “standard” is nothing more than the feds forcing states to slow down the approval of concealed carry permits, and make the remaining permits null-and-void in most areas!

And with the full backing of the White House and the anti-gun media, you and I can’t take anything for granted.

After all, just their efforts alone will be difficult enough to overcome.

But what if -- God forbid -- there’s another criminal rampage?

You and I both know President Obama and his anti-gun pals will rush to exploit it.

That’s why you and I must strangle this monster in its crib NOW before it’s too late.

Congress by passed again

2011-04-13T13:36:00.000-07:00

Citizens, we thought the DREAM Act was nothing to worry about - at least not yet considering that it FAILED to pass Congress this past winter. But it looks like our voices and the will of Congress no longer matters. The DREAM Act is in effect.

The Obama administration has declared the entire country a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano confessed earlier this month that the Obama administration will not deport illegal-alien students who would have fallen under the protected of the failed DREAM Act, the amnesty program for illegal aliens under the guise of immigration reform.

At a webinar and roundtable on border issues sponsored by a leftist think tank, she said, “I will say, and can say, that you know what? They are not, that group, if they truly meet all those criteria, and we see very few of them actually in the immigration system, if they truly meet those [criteria], they’re not the priority.”

In other words, the DREAM Act is now determining deportation even though Congress did not pass it.

Once again Patriots, we see the Obama Administration’s true immigration agenda shining through: pushing amnesty down our throats whether we’ve lawfully rejected that agenda or not. Demand proper representation: click here

Government Shutdown

2011-04-06T10:20:00.001-07:00

=====

Democrats willing to hurt the country for votes.

Republican leadership marched into the White House today and told President Obama the American people are fed up with wasteful spending, and they demanded REAL CUTS. The White House did not agree; they do not want to obey the will of the American people, they want a government shutdown - because they think they can blame it on Republicans and gain votes in the next election.

President Obama and Democrats are REFUSING to deal with reality and fix our budget...they WANT a government shutdown, so they can blame Republicans and try to keep Obama in the White House for four more years!

Republican leadership is standing firm against the big-spending Democrats right now, because of us...all of our efforts have strengthened their resolve - but they need our continued support.

Republicans are about to encounter a mass of resistance by Democrats and their media allies, because the government will be shut down Friday. We need your immediate help to FAX EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS and tell them we expect meaningful spending cuts, and we can accept a government shutdown if it means real change is possible with the federal budget. Make sure Congress knows we will hold big spending Democrats responsible for not passing a budget in 2010, and for stonewalling the efforts of Republicans to get our fiscal house in order.

Please send your Blast Faxes to Congress right now, as we expose the Democrat agenda and keep pressure on Congress to spend our tax dollars responsibly.

Democrats have been dragging their heels on a budget, because they think they can blame Republicans for a shutdown - just like they did in 1995. Republicans want to throw out all the wasteful spending Democrats have jammed in, and regrettably, Democrats would rather hurt the country than come to the table, willing to make sacrifices.

Democrats are incapable of explaining to Americans why they oppose incremental spending cuts that total $2 billion a week. They cannot defend their spending increases because they know they are wrong!

Under Barack Obama, government spending has increased 21.4%

Under Barack Obama, welfare spending has increased 54%

Under Barack Obama, the number of unemployed Americans is 13.9 MILLION

Barack Obama and his Democrat cronies could have passed a budget when they had complete control of both houses of Congress. They didn't need one Republican vote to do so, but they didn't - because their budget was full of pork that they knew the American people would not accept.

After they took a licking in the November, 2010 midterm elections, Democrats had to scramble to ram through last-minute, ridiculous legislation before Republicans came in and took over the House. That took their focus off the country's fiscal crisis and enabled them to pass the buck to the next Congress.

After failing to come to a deal with the President on Tuesday, Boehner said "the House will not be put in a box and forced to choose between two options that are bad for the country." Those two options are a government shutdown and inadequate spending cuts.

Democrats would rather fund NPR ... and Planned Parenthood ... and Cowboy Poetry Festivals. The Republicans need our support - and the every Member of Congress needs to know that if they ignore the will of the people and continue spending our country into oblivion, they will be OUT OF A JOB.

A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate found over $200 billion in federal spending that could easily be trimmed. The GAO report identifies 34 areas where duplicate programs in the federal government are operated across agencies and bureaucracies, and 47 other areas where money could easily be saved.

WHY HASN'T CONGRESS MADE THESE CUTS?
... BECAUSE DEMOCRATS WON'T LET IT HAPPEN! click here

Conservative Unity in America

2011-04-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

One of the leaders in the Tacoma912 group posted this on the forum and I thought it was pretty good and want to pass it on to others that might not have seen it otherwise.

=====

The Tea Party Grass Roots Movement is now over 2 years old. There are Tea Party Groups, 9/12er’s, Libertarians, and numerous other variations all vying for attention. We have all heard the backbiting and sniping from one group about another, the refusal to work together on an event, the suspicious agendas being pushed by some national organizations, and on and on. We tend to have our own ideas on how to achieve “victory”, and discount any that don't conform to that model. We can't afford this splintering of the movement. We have to unite for events and causes that matter to all of us, while maintaining our independent groups with our own agendas and events

If there is one over-riding theme that binds all of us engaged in the “Tea Party” movement, it should be the restoration of our Constitutional Republic. Anything that moves us toward that goal should be embraced. Anything that distracts us from that goal, or worse, moves us away from that goal, should be called out, identified, and summarily pushed aside as we work to save our nation.

Our movement is still in the early stages. Many of us know that ours is a necessary effort that must be undertaken if our nation is to survive.

Where this goes is up to us.

We suffer a wealth of diverse ideas and motivations in the grass roots. Some groups focus on activism, some on education, spiritual or historical perspectives. There are the groups whose primary focus in on reducing the size of government, while others want to work within the current political structure, but just tweak it a little in their direction. Some have been in this struggle for years, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Obama regime for galvanizing us with their arrogant excesses.

It took many decades to arrive at where we are now. The opposition, through incremental changes over the years, has slowly eroded the foundations of our system. They used the term “chipping away” with the knowledge that radical change is automatically resisted by the populace, instead implementing their agenda one small step at a time. Many of us knew of these changes, but felt powerless to stop them. Besides, we were too busy with our jobs, families, entertainment, and pursuits to get involved. We let the political class run this fight and wondered why our side kept losing.

We have all heard from the discouraged naysayers; they went to a rally, voiced their opinion, but nothing changed, or it didn’t change fast enough. To prevail, we must get past our inclination towards instant gratification. We think like the 30 minute TV shows we grew up with, everything could be solved within a short time span. Impatience is our primary enemy, wanting it all solved NOW. Learn to happily accept the victories we can get, as long as it moves us closer to our goal. This may take longer than many of our lifetimes to achieve, because this began long before many of us were born.

Just as the opposition would have been pushed off the cliff had they tried their move too early, we have to understand that there is an entire generation that has been educated to think like serfs. Their only source of information is their friends, pop culture, and occasional snippet of news from the main stream media. They will reject our message with barely a second thought. They think of government as their main provider of all things good.

We have no chance of reaching them because it doesn't fit the template they have grown up with. We are now considered to be the “radicals” threatening their way of life. As parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors, we have to find methods that work best for each of us to reach out to those around us. With love, gentleness, and patient argument, we each have to wake up just enough people to “see the light” to make a huge difference in the elected representatives of our various local governments.

We must look past any differences we may have in our methods, our teachings, and our basic philosophies, and be reminded of what we are really here to do. When I joined the military, I took an oath to “..uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;…”. Even though I am no longer active military, my oath does not have an expiration date.

We must unite, as conservative Americans, to work together towards the goal of reclaiming our Constitutional Representative Republic. We all basically want the same thing. In our individual groups, we gather with people who understand the wonderful country we live in. We work at the grassroots level to bring change from below. When circumstances require it, we must stand together and show the world our unified front.

Our trip last week down to Roseville, California went well even though it was very nasty weather in the mountains on the trip down. The Bible Conference at Landmark Baptist Church in Roseville was excellent. The theme was "Rejoice in the Lord" and we did that. I preached on "Dealing with the Joy Robbers"

Our First Friday Fellowship Meeting on April Fools went well and we enjoyed hearing Elder Ted Tweet from Decatur, Alabama preach a message on the Lost man's need of the Gospel.

Saturday we walked in the MS Walk over in Kitsap County and visited with Mom, and family. Our Sunday services at TLBC went well.

Is America a Muslim Nation?

Someone sent me the following email. I don't know if this is true or not but given Obama's track record with Islam, it is believable. Personally, I don't even care for the Catholic stamps that they put out at certain times of the year. Another friend told me this is a hoax. I can't see why anyone would go to the trouble to fabricate a phony Muslim stamp but I guess it takes all kinds ...

EMAIL:

Apparently they think that putting hearts and butterflies on the new stamp will make most people not realize that the rest is Arabic and probably not something we want to support.

New Stamp - the second one!!!

USPS New 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday.
If there is only ONE thing you forward today... let it be this!

President Obama
has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44-Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.

REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.

All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"

Pass this along to every Patriotic American that you know and get the word out!
Honor the United States of America !

Obama is not the main problem in America

2011-03-22T23:28:00.000-07:00

A quote out of the Czech Republic kinda sums it up:

"The danger to America is not Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to
limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to
have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more
serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming
the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of
fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama,
who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude
of fools such as those who made him their president."

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute.

The substitute wanted to know what to play.

' Here's a copy of the service,' he said impatiently. 'But, you'll have

to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.'

During the service, the minister paused and said, 'Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up'.

At that moment, the substitute organist played 'The Star Spangled Banner.'

And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Jane Russell was Pro-Life

2011-03-03T14:03:00.000-08:00

SANTA MARIA, California, March 1, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Several decades after an abortion left Jane Russell unable to bear children and spurred her to become an outspoken pro-lifer and adoption advocate, the silver screen beauty died yesterday at the age of 89. In lieu of flowers, the family of the born-again Christian actress is asking for donations in her honor to Care Net, a pro-life pregnancy resource center network.

Jane Russell, the brunette bombshell of the films The Tall Men and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, whose image became a popular pinup for World War II servicemen, passed away of respiratory failure at her Santa Maria home Monday.

Leading a wild lifestyle early on, Russell later became, in her words, “a teetotal, mean-spirited, right-wing, narrow-minded, conservative Christian bigot” - but not before an illegal abortion caused her to lose her fertility.

The experience, which she says nearly killed her, led her to become outspoken about abortion, denying that any circumstance - rape or incest included - justified taking the life of an unborn child.

“People should never, ever have an abortion. Don’t talk to me about it being a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body. The choice is between life and death,” Russell declared in one quotation widely attributed to her.

In another quotation cited by IMDB.com, Russell said that when she found herself pregnant at 18, “The only solution was to find a quack and get an abortion. I had a botched abortion and it was terrible. Afterwards my own doctor said, ‘What butcher did this to you?’ I had to be taken to hospital. I was so ill I nearly died. I’ve never known pain like it.”

Even decades after the procedure was made legal in America, loss of fertility remains a common side effect of abortions: post-abortive women telling their stories through Silent No More Awareness frequently testify to losing the ability to bear children as a consequence of their abortions.

Her struggle conceiving led Russell to adopt three children and to found the World Adoption International Fund in 1955. She also started the ‘Hollywood Christian Group,’ a weekly Bible study she hosted at her house for Christians in the film industry. Russell, who divorced once and was married two more times, is survived by her three children, six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

After confirming her death on Monday, her family suggested that donations be made in her name to Care Net Pregnancy & Resource Center at 121 W. Battles, Santa Maria, CA, as well as CASA of Santa Barbara County, a group that helps abused children find a court advocate.

Care Net, which oversees a nationwide network of 1,100 pregnancy centers, specializes in helping women facing unplanned pregnancies by providing practical help as well as emotional support.

The Governor of California is jogging with
his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's
dog, then bites the Governor.

1. The Governor starts to
intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi" and then realizes he should
stop because the coyote is only
doing what is natural.

2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the
coyote
and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for
relocating it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet
collects the dead dog and
bills the State $200 testing it for
diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends
$3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite
wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6
months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the
area is now free of
dangerous animals.

6. The Governor
spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a
"coyote awareness program" for
residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2
million to study how to better
treat rabies and how to permanently
eradicate the disease throughout the
world.

8. The
Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the
attack. The
State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with
additional special
training re: the nature of coyotes.

9. PETA protests the
coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit
against the
State.

North Dakota :

The Governor of North Dakota is jogging
with his dog along a nature
trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks his
dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued
pistol and
keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45
ACP hollow point
cartridge.

2. The Buzzards eat the
dead coyote.

And that, my friends, is why California is broke

======================

A great man was born 279 years ago.

George Washington was a freedom fighter, a leader, and one of our greatest Presidents. But, much of General Washington's greatness was marked not by what he did, but by what he chose not to do.

He could have been a King.

Instead, he stood for Liberty and stepped aside after eight years, allowing our young Republic to grow into the greatest nation in Human history.

2012 offers our movement a tremendous opportunity. Our nation is beset with crippling debt, an out of control federal government, and a foreign policy that weakens our national defense and isolates us from the world.

But with hard work and determination, we can change course and turn our country back toward Liberty and all of its rewards.

Quite frankly, we need to elect a President in 2012 who will do a lot less: less meddling in the economy, less spending, less warrantless ransacking, less bailing out of Wall Street, less inflating, and less foreign aid and overseas intervention.

We need a President who will respect our Constitution, not someone who simply pays lip service to our traditions.

Because I want a President who does so much less, a lot of people ask me if this means I want a weak President.

My answer is "No!" I want a strong President - a President like George Washington.

I want a President strong enough NOT to take power he should not have.

The REINS Act - Let's DO it !!

2011-02-17T20:40:00.000-08:00

After two years of President Obama installing his own handpicked bureaucrats in EVERY federal agency, I'm afraid we're about to witness an assault on our liberties like few we've ever seen.

With congressional statists in disarray, Obama now plans to use the Executive Branch to ram through sweeping changes in policy to control speech, wreck private enterprise, install vast parts of Cap and Tax, and more.

But a little known law could stop Obama cold in his tracks - if Representatives and Senators have the GUTS to use it.

That's why it's vital you complete the petition to your Representative and Senators before it's too late.

CLICK HERE

As you'll see, the petition urges your Representative and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on the REINS Act to STOP out of control government bureaucrats from ramming their agenda down the throats of the American people.

How important is this?

Just weeks ago, the Federal Communications Commission set the stage for a complete government takeover of the internet.

Then, the so-called "Environmental Protection Agency" announced its intention to start regulating carbon dioxide emissions - the first step toward IMPOSING a full-blown "Cap and Tax" scheme without so much as a congressional vote.

And unless you and I act IMMEDIATELY, I'm afraid there could be much more to come, including:

*** The so-called "Fairness Doctrine," a shameless FCC attempt to SHUT DOWN free speech, guaranteeing the only opinions you hear and see are "government-approved";

*** Card Check Instant Union Organizing, where the NLRB would strip workers of the right to vote in a secret ballot election, subjecting hardworking men and women to threats, intimidation, and worse from union militants;

*** MANDATED naked body scans, not only required by "Homeland Security" for American citizens to board an airplane, but just to go to a mall, see a sporting event, or travel by bus or train, as well;

*** Death panels, handing "Health and Human Services'" unaccountable government bureaucrats the power to deny care - resulting in what amounts to life and death power over you and your loved ones;

*** 401(k) seizure, allowing the IRS and the Social Security Administration to CONFISCATE Americans' private retirement accounts to help the federal government pay its bills.
And all that might only be the beginning!

The truth is, for decades, presidents of BOTH parties and their federal agencies have abused their power to "rule by decree" - bypassing Congress and SHREDDING the U.S. Constitution - to impose their agenda.

In fact, just during his two years in office, President Obama's administration has issued TWO HUNDRED new regulations and Executive Orders - all with price tags of well over $100 million EACH.

CLICK HERE

Now, especially after the "shellacking" that was the 2010 elections, the statists are looking even more to federal agencies to ram their agenda down the throats of the American people.

That's why you and I must act now to "REIN IN" Big Government before it's too late.

If passed, the REINS Act would prohibit presidents and out of control government agencies from imposing sweeping new regulations on American citizens without a congressional vote.

That means the FCC, the EPA, and Homeland Security can make all the "recommendations" they want, but they'll mean nothing unless passed by Congress.

In short, these massive and bloated unconstitutional bureaucracies would be literally stripped of their power - paving the way for their outright ELIMINATION.

But it won't be easy. The statists know passage of the REINS Act would effectively END any hope of "remaking America" with unelected and unaccountable government bureaucrats.

And after our incredible success at pushing AUDIT THE FED, they won't be caught off guard again.

That's why you and I MUST fight back harder than ever.

Over the next few weeks, I'm planning to massively turn up the heat on Members of Congress to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on the REINS Act.

Using direct mail and email - in addition to internet, radio, and newspaper advertising - my goal is to recruit and mobilize a grassroots army to force roll call votes in both houses of Congress.

In fact, I'm hoping to contact up to twelve million Americans just in the initial push!

Then - once votes are scheduled - I'm planning to launch yet another mail and TV ad campaign, targeting key Representatives and Senators to urge them to pass the REINS Act.

The good news is, no Representative, Senator - or President - wants to face reelection having gone on record AGAINST a bill to stop unaccountable Washington, D.C. bureaucrats from running our lives.

So just forcing a vote on the REINS Act puts you and me in a win/win situation.

CLICK HERE

Not only will statist politicians who oppose the REINS Act pay the political price at the ballot box when faced with reelection . . .

. . . But, recognizing how much of their power is at stake, federal bureaucrats may start to think twice before imposing their radical agenda on the rest of us!

Now, this fight won't be easy, so I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

First, won't you complete the enclosed petition to your Representative and Senators, urging them to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on the REINS Act?

And then, if you can, I hope you'll agree to chip in a contribution of $10, $25, $50 - or whatever you can afford.

Larry, should you and I succeed in passing the REINS Act, we'll strike a major blow against Big Government.

Bloated and unconstitutional federal bureaucracies will see much of their power stripped - paving the way for their outright ELIMINATION.

And if we don't act, all of our victories could go up in smoke as we see the statists' full agenda IMPOSED on American citizens without so much as a congressional vote.

So, please complete the petition and chip in a contribution of $10, $25, $50 - or whatever you can afford - IMMEDIATELY!

In Liberty,

John Tate

President

P.S. After the shellacking they took in the 2010 elections, the statists are now scheming to use presidential "Executive Orders" and draconian federal regulations to impose their radical agenda.

That's why you and I must fight for passage of the REINS Act, which would stop the imposition of sweeping new regulations on American citizens without congressional approval.

Planned LIFE !!!!

By now I am sure that you have seen the news reports or the very disturbing videos shot undercover by the pro-life group Live Action in several Planned Parenthood facilities. In multiple videos we see different Planned Parenthood employees:

— offering to facilitate the “health” needs of girls as young as 14 who are being sexually trafficked;

— offering to assist in arranging abortions for underage girls;

— advising on how to bypass legal age requirements for various “health” services;

— giving a pimp pointers on how quickly he can get underage girls back on the “street” after an abortion; and

— providing tips on how to obtain insurance through public health assistance or taxpayer funded programs for abortions.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli called the videos “shocking.” U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) called Planned Parenthood’s “duplicity and potential criminality” an outrage. Pence also stated:

The time to deny any and all funding to Planned Parenthood is now. In the wake of yet another scandal involving Planned Parenthood, I urge Congress to move the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to the floor for immediate consideration.

Take a Stand Now by Signing our Petition! Click HERE

The implications of Planned Parenthood’s apparent support of these terrible activities should shake all pro-life American taxpayers to our very core. That’s why I believe that every CitizenLink team member should sign our “Remember the Family” petition, which urges Congress to defund Planned Parenthood and stand for other pro-family measures. Please go here to sign if you haven’t already.

Last Week

2011-02-01T11:25:00.000-08:00

We had a glorious week last week with a guest speaker holding services with us at TLBC nightly in celebration of our 31st Anniversary as a New Testament Congregation. Brother Mike Prater and his wife Mary Jane visited us from Granite Bay, California. Elder Prater preached several fine sermons. We are working on DVD copies of the services and there are AUDIO links to the two sermons he preached in our last Lord's Day services. Click Here

We pray for the turmoil in Egypt to be resolved according to the will of God. It is encouraging to see some common sense shown by the latest Federal Court verdict regarding the unconstitutional health care reform bill that was crammed through last year against the will of "We the People".

I am sending another letter to my Senators and Congressman on the Illegal Immigration issue (for what good it will do). They seldom listen to my input. If you are as concerned as I am about this issue please feel free to clip and past the following and sent it to your two Senators and your Congressman too.

Dear Senator and Representative,

Now is the time to pass legislation to correct the precedents that have blighted our nation with the "anchor baby" and "birth tourism" welcome mat that invites illegality and is cheapening the sanctity of U.S. citizenship.

We have witnessed the unconstitutional failure to provide a secure border under the "leadership" of present political elitists that resulted in a sharp rise in violence and the deaths of both American civilians and U.S. Border Agents by drug smugglers, international criminal cartels, and illegal immigrant gangs.

This "open borders" Administration may well prove to be one of the most blatant violators of U.S. immigration law to ever occupy high public office.
We must plug the hole and stop turning a blind eye to the illegal usurpers of U.S. Citizenship. If someone wants a part of the American "DREAM" we should not reward the breaking of our immigration laws. Illegals should be sent home so they can go to the end of the line and wait their turn like those who enter our country properly. This is a basic principle that most people learn before they are six years old.

Friday I went over to accompany my Mom and Sister to the Group Health Neurologist Dr. appointment. It went well. My annual physical with my family Dr. also went pretty good. We are still waiting on the blood work to come back from the LAB. Saturday my brother-in-law and I attended an all day Seminal up at the Double Tree Inn at SeaTac put on by the Evergreen Freedom Foundation. It had to do with training on how to communicate effectively with your elected officials. It was a good day. They have a BLOG too and you can check them out by going HERE.

We had a good day at TLBC today. Brother Turner did not teach the Sunday school lesson. He was still recovering from the surgeries that he had removing melanoma cancer. We thank the Lord for answered prayer on this and that the Dr. gave a good report after the two operations. I taught on "Landmark Truth". The morning sermon was on "What is the Gospel?" and the afternoon service was on "The Defilement around Noah". To see the study outlines and hear the AUDIO clips click HERE.

The First Friday Fellowship went well last
Friday night. We opened the AP Box and read
the answered prayers that were in it for the
year 2010. We had over 131 AP's in the Box.

I finished the study of the Book of Revelation
today in our Sunday school hour at TLBC and preached
on how the Ephesus Body was a local New Testament
Congregation in the AM Services. The outlines are
available as usual on our TLBC website and now we have

Arizona governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner

The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team,
Robert Sarver, opposes AZ's new immigration laws.
Arizona 's Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following
statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:

"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes
of people were sneaking into games without paying?
What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are,
but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to
ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs,
thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore,
what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who
sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if,
on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured,
the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"
- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer

The world's largest abortion provider hit a new low
during the Christmas season – it was recently reported,
Planned Parenthood was selling Christmas gift
certificates for abortion as part of their end-of-year
fund raising drive. These appalling "gifts" are just
another example of Planned Parenthood's long history
of shameful marketing practices and cheapening of
human life.

Dear Patriot,

On Sunday evening, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell conjured up a backroom deal to revive the so-called “Food Safety Modernization Act” – passing it by unanimous consent after it was thought dead.

Even though dozens of Republican senators opposed the bill only a few weeks ago, not one member – not even Tom Coburn, who led the opposition to the regulatory boondoggle – dared speak up to oppose the FDA’s food takeover.

Liberty is never more in danger than when legislators are looking to cut a quick deal, and last night was another harsh reminder of this fact.

It only required one senator to speak up and object to further empowering Barack Obama’s radical regulatory agenda to bury the bill for the rest of this Congress. Harry Reid and his statist allies were out of time and could not afford yet another drawn-out legislative fight.

Contact your senators and urge them to pass a clean, short-term CR and then go home! The 111th Congress no longer represents the will of the American people. To continue to cut backroom deals that steal more of our liberty while empowering Big Government is nothing more than a slap in the face to the electorate.

C4L must continue to remain vigilant during the rest of this Lame Duck. Tell your senators to oppose any further backroom deal making between Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell.

Also, contact Mitch McConnell today at (202) 224-2541 and tell him what you think of this last minute surrender.

The Food “Safety” bill will now return to the House for a final vote. Please contact your representative and urge them to oppose H.R. 2751, the so-called “Food Safety Modernization Act,” as amended.

In Liberty,

John Tate

Golden Telephone

2010-12-19T16:32:00.000-08:00

God blessed us again in our worship services at TLBC today. For an AUDIO copy of the Sunday school lesson and the morning and afternoon services see the front page here. The outlines are also available on the church website if you want to follow along while listening to the AUDIO.

==========

A man in Kansas decided to write a book about Churches around the country.
He started by flying to New York and started working west from there.

Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute."

Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God.

The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Chicago , Dallas , St. Louis , Milwaukee , and around the United States , he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Washington State. Upon entering a cathedral he saw the usual golden telephone but THIS time, the sign read "Calls: 35 cents."

Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor. He said, "I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only .35 cents a call. Why?"

The preacher, replied : "Son, you're in Washington now, home of Mount Rainier, Puget Sound , the Olympic Peninsula, Starbucks, smoked salmon and the most beautiful nature this side of heaven. You're in God's Country - It's a local call."

WALL STREET JOURNAL: A federal judge ruled Monday that a central plank of the health law violates the Constitution, dealing the biggest setback yet to the Obama administration’s signature legislative accomplishment. In a 42-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said the law’s requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty “exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power.”

Carrot, egg and coffee.

2010-12-12T23:07:00.000-08:00

Preached today on "Staying in shape for Service" and taught "Babylon Revisited" in Sunday school. Outlines and AUDIO are available on front page of TLBC website. HERE

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee....You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and
how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going
to make it and wanted to give up; she was tired of fighting and
struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water
and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the
first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the
last she placed ground coffee beans.. She let them sit and boil
without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the
carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and
placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it
in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'

'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.
She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the
daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell,
she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter
then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same
adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after
being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its
liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water,
its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were
in the boiling water, they had changed the water..

'Which are you?' she asked her daughter.
'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a carrot, egg or a coffee bean?

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong,
but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and
lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with
the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup,
a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened
and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I
bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot
water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water
gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like
the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and
change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest
and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another
level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, egg or a
coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials
to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough
hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes
their way. The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past.

When you were born,
you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

We thank the Lord for another good day in the house of God. My Sunday school lesson was on "Mystery Babylon the Great", moring sermon was "Sinking Sand" and the afternoon study was on "Ruth's Rest'. It was good to have Steve Bell and Jason Works visiting in the services today.

This Story touched my heart...

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his
80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in
a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be
over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him
looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another
patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I
talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his
sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's
appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to
eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.

He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a
victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be
upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was,
that she had not recognized him for five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even
though she doesn't know who you are?'

He smiled as he patted my hand and said,

'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and
thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, But how to dance in the
rain.' We are all getting Older. Tomorrow may be our turn.

Enjoy life now -it has an expiration date!

Lame Duck

2010-12-02T14:38:00.000-08:00

All those new representatives and senators you and I saw elected on November 2 won't be sworn in until JANUARY.

Until then, President Obama and his statist pals in BOTH parties will be free to use the "lame duck" session of Congress to RAM through the rest of their Big Government agenda.

So you and I MUST be ready for anything.

I'm afraid we could see an unprecedented "lame duck" onslaught. You see, there's not much time.

Knowing their game could be up as soon as the new Congress is sworn in, they will move FAST.

But that gives you and me a fighting chance.

You see, the statists are banking on you and me just "sitting this one out."

They're hoping our "guard is down" since the election has come and gone.

Well, what the statists don't understand about Patriots like you, is that we NEVER let our guard down.

So if we can let them know the R3VOLUTION has only just begun, they won't know what hit them.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your petition to Congress and chip in a generous contribution of $10, $25, or maybe even $50, as well.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you hard-hitting TV, radio, and newspaper ads, along with a last-minute phone mobilization program, won't be cheap.

But they could be the difference between victory -- and DEFEAT.

After all you and I have gone through -- and considering the stakes in these fights -- I can't stomach the thought of losing more of our freedoms in a "lame duck" session of Congress.

They're banking on us letting our guard down.

Let's prove them DEAD WRONG! CLICK HERE

"My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."

- Barack Obama

WHAT A DISTORTION.
THAT TRANSPARENCY NEVER HAPPENED.

In fact, Mr. Obama has, reportedly, spent approximately $2 MILLION to hide his background from the public, including his:

* Kindergarten records
* Punahou school records
* Occidental College records
* Columbia University records
* Harvard Law School records
* Passport
* Medical records
* Files from his years as an Illinois state senator
* Illinois State Bar Association records
* Baptismal records
* Adoption records, and...

WHAT ELSE IS HE HIDING?

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP... every single State must demand a long-form birth certificate from Barack Hussein Obama! We need to STOP this charade and scam from happening, again, this time in the 2012 Presidential election!

That's what I said: STATE-BY-STATE!

Please SELECT HERE to assist the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) in this "Battle Royale" to FORCE Barack Obama to PROVE his eligibility to serve as President and as Commander-in-Chief of our military in each and every state. FAX every State Governor and every State Attorney General to make sure that they REQUIRE absolute PROOF! Our legal staff is working tirelessly to EXPOSE this unbelievable scam! Please send a DONATION to USJF as we go up against Mr. Obama's $2 MILLION "Dream Team" of lawyers that he has hired to "protect" his privacy!

If he has spent so much on attorneys, you KNOW that he is hiding a lot!

That's why we have committed all of the resources of USJF to start what we expect will be a National Movement that will require every candidate for president, and/or vice president, to produce their long form hospital birth certificate to the Secretary of State of each State to prove their eligibility to run!

Texas State Representative Leo Berman has already filed a bill in his state that would require candidates for president or vice president to show their birth certificates to the Texas Secretary of State before being allowed to be put on the ballot. This legally-binding effort could become effective as early as next year, if adopted and signed into law. The storm clouds of "eligibility" continue to loom on the horizon for Mr. Obama.

Here are the latest poll findings:

60% of Americans now have questions about the place of birth for Mr. Obama.

OVER ONE-HALF OF AMERICANS QUESTION HIS ELIGIBILITY!

Yet, in a very casual way, Mr. Obama states: "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." That is precisely what he told NBC's Brian Williams.

Of course he can't---because he does not have that long-form birth certificate.

Mr. Obama's own paternal step-grandmother said that she was present at Mr. Obama's, which took place in Mombasa in what is now Kenya.

With your help, State leaders will be poised to DEMAND Mr. Obama's eligibility by requiring proper documentation.

Let's go to our own United States Constitution:

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President..." (Article 2, Section 1 of U. S. Constitution).

We must never abandon the U. S. Constitution. Yet, Mr. Obama, like many in Congress and in the courts, as well as in the media, have turned "the other cheek" when it comes to Mr. Obama's eligibility. CLICK HERE

Fight back

2010-12-02T12:39:00.000-08:00

Dear American Patriot,

You want ObamaCare repealed.

So do I.

But the fact is, even with the huge anti-ObamaCare gains in Congress -- even with Republicans in charge of the House -- repealing this disastrous legislation just isn't possible.

Barack Obama still wields the veto pen, and you and I don't have the votes to override a veto.

But there is another solution.

You see, the House of Representatives insists all spending bills originate within its chambers.

That gives the new Majority Leader John Boehner a lot of power -- and gives you and I the opportunity to defund ObamaCare -- we can't repeal it, but Republicans in the House can refuse to fund it.

That's why I've drafted up an official Petition to Defund ObamaCare.

Will you sign it right away? CLICK HERE
