1) The race for the White House is on. Consider the options. http://townhall.com/columnists/patbuchanan/2016/07/28/philadelphia-vs-cleveland-divided-we-stand-n2199514?
2) Take a quick look at
this short item. It is a reminder of what we all need to keep close to
our minds and hearts. Quote: "Many in our audience express dismay about
people not being able to discuss hot-button issues – politics,
religion, race, sexuality – without it devolving into anger and
name-calling. Why is it that people can’t have a disagreement without taking things so damn personally?" http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/why-can%E2%80%99t-people-disagree-without-taking-things-so-damn-personally?
3) This
item discusses the root cause of so much of the troubles our nation
faces. Quote: "Too many Americans feel that their minimal participation
in the political process is all that is required and that voting in the
right candidate is all that is needed to set the country on the right
course. This is a process that repeats over and over again; one
political party holds the reigns for four to eight years and then the
other party promises to fix all of the problems created during that
period. The people, for the most part, tend to just follow along, not
really taking any active part in the process until just months before
the election. Of course, this is something that the political elite
anticipate and capitalize on, an ignorant, uninformed population." And,
"It is the personal belief of this author that there is a deliberate
creation of hopelessness among the population in order to sway opinions
and attitudes in the favor of the elite. People are either paying no
attention at all, blissful of the potential danger their apathy creates,
or their minds are preoccupied with problems that others tell them they
should be concerned about. Others are aware that the system is a
complete sham and that we are being manipulated to the ends of a power
hungry oligarchy that seeks to completely dominate all aspects of human
being. We are the conspiracy theorists and our opinions are usually
completely disregarded. Whatever the case may be one thing holds true;
most Americans, because we are so busy with our day to day lives trying
to survive, have completely forgot that the government of the United
States belongs to and answers to us. We have forgotten that the
maintenance of liberty requires personal responsibility and that holding
political representatives accountable is our duty, and if we wish to
pass onto our children a better, more secure nation, we must guard
liberty with a jealous fervor." http://freedomoutpost.com/the-acceptance-of-a-corrupted-morality-is-the-real-problem-we-face/
4)
This is a heads up we all need to consider as we ponder our votes for
the November elections. We definitely do not want to take the path
Venezuela has traveled. Here is the results of an independent
agency explaining why. Quote: "The tragedy unfolding in Venezuela is a
result of eroding economic freedom in that country over the past 40
years, according to a new publication released today by the Fraser
Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy
think-tank." http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2148927.htm
5) This is a prime example
of illogical thinking, a total absence of common sense, and absolutely
no acknowledgement of the facts of history. Progressive/Leftist's live
in awe of their idealistic utopian socialist dreams which always in
practice turn into terrible nightmares. Will they ever learn? Given
their history it seems unlikely. Quote: "One of life's enduring
mysteries is why the left -- against overwhelming evidence to the
contrary -- insists on more taxation, more government spending and more
government control over the private sector. Europe's socialism has, over
the last several decades, generated few private sector jobs and lags in
growth when compared to the United States with its comparatively
lighter hand of government. What does it take to show that, good
intentions aside, government bureaucrats cannot spend money as
efficiently and as effectively as the people who produce the money? The
most recent example is Venezuela. Hugo Chavez's handpicked successor now
presides over a country with food lines and soaring inflation, all
directly attributable to the pursuit of a socialist paradise where a
benevolent and enlightened government redistributes wealth from the
greedy few to the entitled many. It ... does ... not ... work." And,
"Full-blown socialism, as in Venezuela, or income redistribution, as in
America, is an assault on prosperity. The victims are those who can
least fend for themselves, the very people the left purports to care the
most about." http://townhall.com/columnists/larryelder/2016/06/30/the-embrace-of-socialism--despite-its-track-record-n2185478?
6) Democrats have really
good friends, very wealthy friends, wielding very influential impacts on
party politics. And the Democrats have listened to them and yielded to
their well funded wishes. Wishes which will make their financial
interests pay multiples in handsome returns if Hillary is
elected. Quote: "After spending more than $100 million to elect
Democratic politicians, and with more money on the way, Tom Steyer
basked in policy victories at the party’s convention this week as
delegates adopted a climate and energy platform that closely mirrors his
own positions. Steyer, a former hedge fund manager and strident
environmentalist, decried the influence of money in politics at events
in Philadelphia even as the party that he has spent millions supporting
backed proposals for green energy subsidies and carbon restrictions that
would benefit companies in which he has invested." Be aware that before
Steyer converted to environmentalism he made his money in fossil
fuels. He obviously saw another cash cow emerging with the left's
addiction to environmental programs, which to date have not done so
well. I call that hypocrisy. And, "According to Federal Election
Commission records, Steyer has steered more than $105 million to
independent expenditure groups and Democratic campaigns and party organs
since 2013. Steyer insists that massive influx of money had nothing to
do with the Democratic platform incorporating his specific policy goals.
“You absolutely cannot” buy policy changes with political
contributions, he told Bloomberg. However, in the case of the Democratic
platform, changes were made following Steyer’s large influx of
contributions that reflect some of his highest priority policy
positions. The Energy and Environment Legal Institute, a free market
group critical of Steyer, flagged at least seven instances where the
platform closely mirrored Steyer’s positions on energy and climate." http://freebeacon.com/issues/tom-steyers-very-good-week/?
If you buy his claim that you "cannot buy policy changes with political
contributions", I have a plot of land on Mars for sale at a really good
price. This type Money influence over Political Policies is far too
fascistic for my tastes. Besides it is an affront to the public who
"expects" government to look after the "people's" interests above crony
business interests having vast wealth but who want still more.
7) This is an example of
the government violating the First Amendment to the Constitution. Not
only that it also violates the full and historically established intent
of the founders. Remember this country was founded in large part by
people who fled the religious oppression of governments in Europe,
namely, the English government. Later it was Colonial church
leaders/pastors who preached against oppressive English government rule
and supported both the separation from England and the American
Revolution. Now our secular government is emulating the English model
and seeking to restart the whole historical cause of its original
founding. What a travesty. http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/holy-war-government-tries-to-control-church-sermons/
This is proof positive that secular humanists, liberals, progressives
and Democrats learn nothing from history. A major shift in American
governance was launched by Lyndon Johnson's active efforts to muzzle
church exposing illegal government actions and corrupt government
actors. If you doubt, check the history of his leadership while in the
Senate by imposing Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code on churches. It
supposedly grants them tax benefits as long as the do not criticize
government. It was a direct assault on the ability of churches and
preachers to call out the government corruption when it violates
decency, ethics, morality and the Constitution. You can learn more at: http://hushmony.org501c3-facts.htm
Far too many of todays pastors have been conditioned to behave in the
manner Johnson intended. Most are not critical of government and stay
out of politics. Imposing the 501c3 IRS rule is a violation of free
speech, religious conscience and the Constitution. The fact is that
churches are already exempt from federal taxes (501c3 is not necessary
to be tax free entities) and do not need to be muzzled by that
unconstitutional IRS rule. Preachers have every right and even an
obligation to ignore 501c3 and do their jobs. Inform the public as well
as tend their souls. The media certainly does not do its original job
of being America's watchdog. It, instead, now aids and abets illegal
and corrupt government, except when conservatives and Republicans are in
power. So churches need to step into that gap.
8) This proves that Obama
has absolutely no common sense, he never did. He does, however, have a
sense of how to destroy the fabric of laws in our country. Not only
does he act illegally, he encourages his administration to do so and he
invites both illegals and Muslim terrorists into our country. This is
what Obama's former top security advisor has to say. Quote: "Affiliates
of the Islamic State terror organization are already residing in the
United States, though exact numbers are unclear due to the Obama
administration’s efforts to downplay and hide information about this
threat from the American public, the former director of the U.S. Defense
Intelligence Agency told the Washington Free Beacon in a
wide-ranging interview. Gen. Michael Flynn, an adviser to Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump who served as a top intelligence
official under the Obama administration, warned that “they are here”
when asked by the Free Beacon to characterize the threat posed to Americans by undercover ISIS adherents." http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obamas-top-intel-general-isis-already-america/? It seems obvious to me that Obama has committed multiple acts of treason and deserves due punishment following a fair trial.
