They call them the Great Distractors

What are the liberals up to these days? I can tell you what their game is, since they cannot win talking about real issues that we face in the U.S., they are playing the old "lib" game; I hope you're not falling for it.

What is the "lib's" game? Why, it's distraction from the important issues. When something major is being done behind closed doors, they have the liberal "news" media put out stories of scandalous behavior of "stars" or important people to keep us stirred up; thinking about the bogus issues and not the real ones that they are sneaking through.

Issues, like the current one over a question about contraception that was raised by ABC reporter George Stephanopoulos and addressed to presidential candidates at a debate. It was off the wall and had nothing to do with politics, just another distraction and it has been going on for a week or more. We need to stick to the important issues and ignore this ridiculous stuff that side tracks us from what is really going on.

I did radio news a couple of decades ago, and our criteria was to find out the facts about a story and give the facts without spinning them in any direction. These days, what we get is very little news and a lot of Hollywood and things that should never be mentioned by folks entrusted with
use of the air waves.

If we let Obama and his cronies continue in office, we will be sorry, sooner rather than later.

SAME OLD SAME OLD

It seems nothing ever changes on the Obama agenda, even during an election campaign. Our government is trying to shed all the provisions of our Constitution that pertain to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Are we so blind that we just let them lead us down the path to ruin?

In the United States Constitution, our founding fathers gave us guarantees of those three things and there is an attack upon all three. To this regime, life is no longer sacred; Liberty is becoming allusive and the pursuit of happiness is being impeded on all sides by rules, regulations and restraints.

Our present government is a job destroyer, a proactive killer of the unborn, and a usurper of our freedoms. Why would anyone want to keep such an oppressive group of people like this in office? If you think a second term will change things, or that Obama has changed, think again. He is acting more conservative until the election. If he gets re-elected, he will immediately go back to his socialist agenda and the last four years will be worse than the first four.

Do you want people murdered before they are able to defend themselves? To take another person's life for your own convenience is the height of selfishness. It is an attitude of a deranged mind.

This country is asleep. We will one day get a stark awakening (let's hope it's not too late to recover). It's a lot easier to hold on to the freedoms we have than to let them be taken away and have to fight a war to get them back. Voting is not a hard thing to do. Planning to vote takes a little preparation; finding out for whom or what you will cast your vote.

I have long said that the litmus test for a genuine Christian is if he or she votes for a candidate who is in favor of abortion. This tells the whole story. If life is not precious to you, you don't know the risen Savior.

The Christians of this country should decide the upcoming election. If we don't vote our conscience then we DESERVE whatever comes to us. If we don't vote at all, we still deserve what we get.

Prayer is also of utmost importance. God puts them in and God takes them out, so pray for righteousness in our government and watch Him work. Pray that anyone who tries to cheat in the election process will be found out and dealt with. This includes both sides.

I am praying for Godly change, back to the founding principles of this best of all countries.

IS AMERICA BEING PLAYED FOR THE FOOL AGAIN?

Gomer Pyle on the Andy Griffith show had a saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Are we about to be fooled again, or have we learned from the first time around?

The Obama organization played the voters for fools in the 2008 election by using all sorts of means to deceive and maneuver voters into choosing the liberals. Obama promised all sorts of things that never materialized, (that’s called lying) but he has brought a lot of “change;” just not what the American people wanted or expected.

There were reports of all kinds of voter fraud and intimidation during the 2008 election, but no one bothered to follow up, instead sweeping it all under the rug. “After all, he is the first “black” president of the United States.”

Although the Democrats frequently try to play the “race” card, this is not a race issue. It is a convoluted mess. There are questions that have never been addressed concerning Obama’s eligibility to be in office, from his birth to his czars. He obviously believes that he is above the law and constantly skirts the Constitution where possible. He is obviously a socialist; everything he does “smacks” of it.

Don’t the liberals get it? Socialism is a failed system, yet we have this whole group of so-called “progressives,” that are bent on transforming America into a socialist state. The “main-stream” media is in bed with them and eating out of their hands. I’ve never quite understood how so many “news” organizations are more faithful to the socialist cause than to God himself.

During the 2012 election we can expect to see liberals working closely with the “media” to shape or “spin” all the news to try to push the conservatives to the bottom of the heap. What are they hoping to achieve here? Do they all want to pay higher taxes; to have long waiting lines for goods, services and medical care; to lose all the money they have saved for retirement; to see the collapse of the greatest free country on the earth; to put America in poverty as a third-world country?

How about see everyone lose their Social Security which we have paid into for all our working years; and there is a shortage of funds to pay for it just because the government has been stealing from “the cookie jar?” This is money that belongs to those who paid it in, not voluntarily, but under government compulsion. They took it from us under false pretense and squandered it on things we the people disagree with.

Are we being played the fool?

I am not against having a president of any race. There is a black candidates running for president, who will likely get my vote in the primary election and in the general election if he gets that far. At this point, Herman Cain looks electable and I think he would be a fine president. My criterion is that a president must have good moral character. He must hold human life dear.

Barack Obama has no regard for the unborn. This tells me a lot about where his heart is. He indicated that he would be in agreement with aborting a child that was his own flesh and blood. “I don’t want my daughter to be punished with a baby!” A baby is not punishment, it is one of God’s greatest blessings. Someone to whom life is so cheap as to destroy it has no place in government leadership at all. He claims to be a Christian. In my opinion abortion has no place in the life of a child of God.

It’s time we put a stop to the murdering of unborn babies in this country. How can anyone think killing another human being is a good, or even an acceptable thing? Are we barbarians? How did America go this low?

It’s disgraceful that we have allowed the destruction of not just a few, but millions of Americans. One is too many. It is unconstitutional to do murder in America. As Americans we are entitled to “LIFE,” liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion violates the constitution just like murder (because that’s really what it is). After a trial, a murderer may be sentenced to death. A totally innocent unborn baby is being sentenced to death by abortion without a trial. That’s not due process under the law.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!

A baby is a human one minute before birth the same as it is one minute after. Why is aborting (killing) a baby just prior to being born acceptable, but one second after it is born is killing it is considered murder. Does it change from not being human to being fully human in a minute’s time? That’s insanity!

VOTING

As law abiding citizens, it is our duty to vote against anyone who is in favor of abortion. As a true believer in Jesus Christ, I could never in good conscience, vote for anyone who is pro-abortion, no matter what other attributes he (or she) may have. It’s time we (Christians) humbled ourselves and prayed, seeking the face of God for forgiveness of our sins and those of our nation, turning away from sin and despising it. This is probably the last hope for keeping this country together. God cannot bless continual disobedience, we must repent and turn back to Him and surrender our lives to Him that we may be saved and that America may survive.

Please don’t take your obligation to vote for upstanding, honest candidates in the 2012 election as an unimportant thing, we have sat on the sidelines way too long.

Political Deceit in the Capitol

I am appalled by what I am seeing from the left-wing leaders in Washington. President Obama goes on TV and says that the majority of the public is in favor of a tax hike to help keep the government afloat. Other polls indicate very much the opposite. The reason for this is that when you do a poll, you should ask questions in a factual way that doesn't sway the person who is being poll in any direction. It should always be objective and honest. The way pollsters get the results they want is to load the questions; to state them in such a way that they get the "right" answers. This is not objective polling.

The Network News departments are so loaded with liberals that every story must have a purpose that fits their agenda, and that agenda is to keep the democrats in power forever. You can see the bias and hear it in their voices. When they speak of right-wing politicians, there is a tone of sarcasm in their speech. When they talk about liberals and especially Obama, honey drips from their lips.

I had been watching ABC news every evening and got tired of it, so I switched to CBS. I like Scott Pelley, but he has to read whatever the news writers set before him, so there is the extreme liberal slant again. I'm tired of all of it now and prefer to have silence in my home during new time.

What do these people think we the American public are, a bunch of lamebrains? Well they will have another stark awaking at election time when we dump most of the liberals that are running and replace them with conservatives.

I do not consider myself a republican, rather a conservative. I am tired of big government taking away a large part of our hard earned income and giving it away to organizations that don't need it, or waste it, or worse yet, use it to abort unborn babies.

We really need a big change in Washington and in our local governments, back to the Christian principles that our founding fathers held to.

If we keep this president, we will have to have intervention from God to remain a sovereign nation. If we want more unemployment, increased taxation, socialized medical care, and all sorts of promises that are never fulfilled, then we will have to take the consequences that go with it.

Obama promised change and he is trying to change the United States into a third-world country.
He has used all sorts of scare tactics to try to get his way, such as threatening seniors and the military, that if the congress doesn't give in to increasing the debt limit, he will withhold their checks. How low! It sounds like children saying if you want play what I want to, I'll just go home.

Our country can be fixed if we stick with the conservatives and all work together to get things back under the control of people who want the best for America.

My opinion.

Obama Press = ABC

It should be against the law for a sitting president who boasts that he is going to raise a billion dollars for his re-election campaign to have access to major television audiences for FREE.

June 17 on "Good-morning America," ABC had a long interview with President Obama answering questions about Father's Day. What better way to make him "look" to be family friendly. None of the major TV networks will say anything against him, no matter how destructive he is to our nation.

During this period leading up to the election of 2012, we need to be very careful to not get pulled into believing that Obama is a pro-American president. Nothing could be further from the truth. If he has another four years, we are in deep trouble and may not be able to hold our country together. He has made shambles of our economy and we are so in debt as a nation that it will take decades to recover if we stop him NOW.

Obama has NO respect for our Constitution and its God-given values. He has no respect for the sanctity of human life. (As in LIFE, LIBERTY and the pursuit of Happiness. How can you have liberty and the pursuit of happiness without first having LIFE?) He made it very plain where he stands on abortion when he said if one of his daughters got pregnant out of wedlock, he didn't want her "punished" with a baby. This suggests that he would have his own unborn grandchild aborted if the circumstances deem it expedient.

Obama's agenda is to abort babies through the agency of "Planned Parenthood," and force what he wants down our throats; making us pay for things that we strongly oppose. At the same time, he is all for amnesty for illegal aliens; they will vote for him. It's all about getting re-elected so he can continue his Alinsky programs.

God help us to hold on to this fabulous country that we have been blessed with for so long. Help us to not be so complacent that we just sit around and let it go under.

One of my favorite presidents said: "If we ever forget that we are One Nation under God, then we will be a Nation gone under." - President Ronald Reagan

H1N1 FLU???

I was just wondering about something. Where did the H1N1 Flu get off to? In the Fall and Winter of 2009 it was the big problem that was going to affect everyone. Where is it now?

Now-a-days, the media is saying that research has proven that Flu shots do not cause Alzheimer’s. Does that make Flu shots a good idea?

How about all the high levels of mercury in Flu shots; is that no longer a problem for mercury poisoning? Is it o.k. for our children to receive high dosages of mercury just because Flu shots, as they say, do not cause Alzheimer’s? Personally, I think they’re whack-o.

Never let a good crisis go to waste!

That’s what some of the Democrat Party folks were saying when Obama was running for president. Could it be that they were creating their own “crisis?” I hope no one decides that we need another new crisis to exploit. What kind of sick thinking is that?

Do you remember Y2k? In 1999, many “experts” were saying that at the turn of the century to 2000 all the computers would cease to function or go berserk. The scenario included the power-grid going down and factories computers going wild. It was all a farce so someone could sell a lot of books.

I am an electronics engineer with over 50 years experience and I said from the beginning that it would not be a problem. After the first few days of 2000, there was hardly a mention of it. It went away just like H1N1.

Now, there is beginning to be a lot of the talk about the end of the world, focused on the Mayan Calendar. That’s because their calendar ends with the Winter solstice in December of 2012. More foolishness. Actually, that calendar starts over on that date. That’s the way they set it up. It has nothing to do with the end of the world, just the end of that cycle.

There are a lot of farces going around and many people get taken in by them every time. Those listed above and of course global warming, which has become global cooling.

“Scientists” are even saying that all the rainfall and snow is being caused by global warming. That defies logic. When we have all this cold weather and average it with all the hot weather last summer, it will be about the same ratio that always exists on the earth. Variations in weather and temperature are normal as the earth goes through its normal cycles. It’s nothing to be alarmed about. For my early thoughts on humans affecting the climate "global warming," go here:

Security

One of the basic components of life, just above survival in importance, is feeling secure. We seek security through relationships, jobs, insurance policies, promises, savings, things, etc.

Because our relationships on earth necessarily involve other people, we can always be “let down.” We can lose jobs, insurance policies can sometimes be bad investments, promises can be broken, and savings can be devalued. Things that we acquire are useful only in this life and are temporary at best. The security we experience from them is soon gone and we’re insecure again.

People who feel insecure have done all sorts of bazaar things, even to taking their own lives or the lives of others. There has to be a better way.

I have heard it said that “the one who dies with the most things wins.” Actually, the one who dies eternally secure wins.” There is only one way to be eternally secure and that is to trust Jesus Christ as your savior, surrendering everything you are and all you have to His care and trusting Him for your eternal well being.

The most important form of security is “eternal security,” and it is too often neglected. The time to become eternally secure is “NOW.” Waiting is a dangerous thing. We do not know how much longer we have to live, and accepting Jesus has to be done before we die if we hope to have eternal life with Him. People seem to be hesitant to take this step, but after they do, cares and worries vanish away and they have a much happier, more fulfilled life. The joy of knowing Jesus is worth more than all the treasures of this world.

NEW START TREATY

In today's news is a story that says that ten of the newly elected GOP Senators, in a letter to Harry Reid, are asking for a delay in the consideration of the "New Start Treaty" with Russia that our president has signed-on to.

This is what they wrote:

“Out of respect for our states’ voters, we believe it would be improper for the Senate to consider the New START Treaty or any other treaty in a lame duck session prior to January 3, 2011.”

The President is trying again to push this through as quick as he can, without the consent of the American people. If you rush things through, the people do not have time to hear about what they are doing until it is already done and too late to change it. This is the method that they use to destroy our way of life, just like they did with ObamaCare.

Just last evening I saw a screening of a film by Heritage Foundation about missile defense. There was also a discussion about this treaty. It would lock us into the same old restraining situation we were in with the Soviet Union, with a similar treaty, before it fell. We were locked into it for years, even after the Soviet Union fell. President Reagan got us out of it. This "New Start Treaty" would again put restraints on our ability to build out a defense system.

They are trying to prevent us from being able to set up a system of missiles that would intercept any missiles fired at us from our enemies and destroy them in space instead of having massive destruction of our country.

This is a continuation of the SDI type system that President Reagan started, with great opposition from the Democrats. These intercept missiles would not carry warheads, but would crash into the on-coming missile with great precision and destroy them. This has already been tested with great success.

We need to build this system. It will make our country much stronger against those who would attack us and keep the people safer in this nation and others as well. The cost of such a system would be less than the cost of recovering from any one single successful nuclear strike on this country. Such a system could save possibly millions of lives.

When we are strong, others know they can't take us out. There are those who would like to see America reduced to a third world country and are working to that end. Let's keep our country strong against aggression.

Thoughts from Above

Every once in a while some thought “drops” into my mind that to me seems the obvious and undeniable truth concerning creation. I had one of those moments today and would like to share it.

I thought of the fact that, according to our best scientists, there is no other planet in our universe that has an atmosphere for life to exist like it does here on earth. Not ONE is even close to it. Apparently there is NO life anywhere that compares to life on the earth.

Why does the universe exist anyway? It seems that no one can give a real answer to this question. I believe it exists, by design, for a habitation for life in which the “highest form” is human beings. If this is true, what would be its purpose? It is so obvious that earth was created. There is no natural thing here that is founded in chaos.

Have you ever read in the story of creation in Genesis how God declared everything He created to be “good.” This was stated with each stage of creation. There was no “random or natural” selection in that story. There is no real proof that there is such a thing as natural selection. That would require intelligence to come from something that has no intelligence. What is called natural selection is actually the design of the creator. Those who don’t want to believe in creation have to make up something to explain how it all got here; hence the terms “random mutations,” “natural selection,” etc.

Think about how the earth is made, with all the minerals necessary to sustain life; replete with air (with the perfect composition for animal and human life), sunshine (just hot enough for life and not hot enough to destroy living creatures), water (perfectly constructed to support life), adequate vegetation for food, trees and other plants for cover from varying climates. Most creatures have two eyes; all are designed with a way to take in nutrition and excrete waste matter to sustain life. Each is equipped with some way to deal with predators.

Why does this planet have an atmosphere suitable for animal and plant life? How did it get here? What’s its purpose?

For one to think that we are the result of random mutations or some cosmic accident is a sad thing. Those who believe this have no long-term hope. In other words, when their life on earth ends, they have NO hope of continued existence. No joy of looking forward to meeting their awesome creator. If they are wrong, what a sad day it will be when they have to face the one they have denied or ignored and the consequences that will be permanent.

Believing in God and surrendering to Him as creator and savior brings joy, peace, love, kindness and all other things that the human heart longs for. Those who do not believe, will never experience those things in their fullness.

It costs you a lot more to not believe than to live a life in harmony with your creator. I pray that you will consider the possibility that God is real, loves His creation and will reward those who accept His Son Jesus as their Savior and Lord with eternal life preceded by a joyous life here on earth.

WE DID IT!!

At least conservatives made some progress. We now control the House. When all the newly elected representatives are sworn in, in January 2011, perhaps we can see some slow-down in the actions of this renegade government. All the news media are slamming the "tea-party" members who got elected. They do this to their own peril. The people have spoken and they just don't want the policies of Obama to continue. Why can't he see that? I don't think he has a clue. He still thinks he's the king of this country.

Now let's see the CHANGE the American people want, not the Socialist agenda that the President has been enacting.

On the "religious" front, please go here to understand the fulfillment of prophecy that is real.
