This opinion piece sets the
stage for all other items that follow. Quote: "All autocratic regimes
require a scapegoat in order to keep the populace in turmoil while they
go about seizing all the levers of power; this regime has done the same,
utilizing the so-called wealthy, conservatives, evangelical Christians,
and a clueless Republican Party as their focus of evil. The
totalitarian mindset of thought control by the American Left is
increasingly rearing its ugly head. It is not enough to win a political
battle, but those who disagree with them must be punished and forced to
wholeheartedly accept the party line or be financially destroyed and
publically humiliated." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/the_united_states_is_a_dying_country.html
This
item is disturbing yet important for all of us to read because it
speaks to the misguided people we have become. The item deals with the
current problems faced by Planned Parenthood regarding their profiting
from the selling of aborted baby body parts. Quote: "There
are many on the left who will not recognize inconvenient truths about
their own sacred cows; the cows are different on the right, but no less
sacred. The list is endless. The issue in this case, though, is
the dismemberment of human beings, and the profits made by flesh
brokers. The issue here is the rationalizations these killers and their
apologists are deploying to mask the horror of their deeds. This is what
our country permits. We abstract our consciences into numbness." http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/planned-parenthood-willful-blindness-abortion/
This black American gives the Democrats/progressives a lesson in history. http://www.westernjournalism.com/watch-libs-just-got-shredded-by-black-guy-who-gives-dems-a-must-see-lesson-on-slavery/?
But, that history lesson likely
falls on deaf ears. Read this and you will learn that the Democrats
support of radical black demands has painted them into a corner with the
potential to backfire. Quote: Speaking of the Black Lives Matter crowd
it has been noted that "...this is not some fringe group that can be expunged with no damage. Its leader has been a White House visitor. The
nascent Black Lives Matter movement cannot claim that these statements
were made by a few fringe members: the entire rant was orchestrated by
Black Lives Matter Founder Patrisee Cullors, who can be seen in the
video enthusiastically pumping her fist and shouting along with every
incendiary statement. Nor
is Black Lives Matter a fringe group; they have been embraced and given
fealty by the highest levels of the Democratic power structure. Cullors
told a British interviewer, “We’re going into halls of power now. Many
of us are meeting with mayors or meeting with local government. Some of
us have met with President Obama himself to talk about the demands.” Ms. Cullors’ name appears on White House visitor records." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/07/hillary_and_the_dems_have_a_blacklivesmatter_problem.html
A
relook at the clear thinking of Richard John Neuhaus. "Neuhaus foresaw
that progressives would exploit civil rights law to push a Rousseauian
project of liberation from traditional social bonds (or shackles, as
some would see them), even if such a project ran against the democratic
consensus. But perhaps most brilliantly of all, Neuhaus understood and
articulated the crisis of moral reasoning in the public square. He saw
that moral reasoning, while intrinsic to political argumentation, was
being robbed of the religious sources that originally gave rise to the
views so many Americans hold — and which are ultimately the preservers
of liberal democracy. Neuhaus may be more apt to our times than
even to his own. We should read him with great expectation that he might
help us see our politics with new eyes." http://townhall.com/columnists/danieldavis/2015/08/01/the-naked-public-square-a-book-review-30-years-later-n2033159/page/full
This is how the President treats
veterans. He sends them to war and then ignores them upon their
return, especially our wounded warriors. Illegal aliens deserve our tax
money more than our veterans. Quote: He supports "...a bill that
would SLASH veteran benefits by a staggering $6 billion…And give that
money to illegal aliens who are having a tough time “fitting in” with
American society." http://claimveteranbenefits.com/video/? A good use of OUR taxpayer money don't you think?
The ACLU will now choose which
civil rights it will seek to defend. So, civil rights no longer equally
apply to everyone. Progressive watchdogs will determine which
individuals/groups are deserving of civil rights and which are not. How
far the nation has fallen that once prided itself as being a nation of
laws. Today it is a nation top to bottom ruled by ever changing
feelings. http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/27/aclu-were-only-interested-in-protecting-some-civil-rights/
Can you believe this? Given all
the evidence that is now public knowledge, the President thinks he can
change people's minds with a new set of incredible and totally
unbelievable lies. His ability to deny any responsibility for any of
his messes is the stuff of legions. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/07/obama_denies_irs_deliberately_targeted_tea_party.html We know how the President treats US citizens. Just like he treats members of his Kenyan family. http://conservativetribune.com/brother-humiliates-obama/
This is an example of
Progressive/Democrat government oppression and violation of human
rights. Quote: "Governor Jerry Brown now goes down in history as the
first person to legalize a state-wide medical vaccine experiment on
blacks. He signed SB 277 into law today, reawakening the era of
Tuskegee's medical experiments against blacks while invoking the same
twisted justifications as Tuskegee: It's for "public health!" http://www.naturalnews.com/050252_SB_277_Jerry_Brown_medical_experiments.html?
The left has a long history of maintaining a "collective" world
view that assigns rights to selected groups rather that recognizing the
God given "individual" rights which apply equally to all humans.
Typical
mainstream media. Quote: "Media gushes over Bernie Sanders Rally." He
is an avowed socialist.. This should tell everyone where the liberal
Democrat's political philosophy lies. Failure to halt the past seven
years of social, political and economic chaos will come to no good for
the country. http://altfeed.com/media-gushes-over-bernie-sanders-rally/ Think Greece and you will get the picture. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-05/tsipras-turns-tables-on-europe-in-austerity-referendum-triumph?
Do Democrat politicians
have any common sense? The Social Security program is in financial
distress yet they want to expand it. The same for the Medicare
program. Social Security Disability funding runs out of money in
2016. President Obama says that's no problem. Just move the money from
Social Security to the Disability program. Problem solved, right????

Typical
liberal response to a real problem. Investigate the party who
discovers dirty deeds instead of renouncing those dirty deeds. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dems-call-for-investigation-into-group-behind-planned-parenthood-sting-videos_55afe354e4b07af29d573285?
Quote: "Tutored and mentored by David Rockefeller’s intellectual flunkey, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Barack Obama is close to winning his two gold stars for victory—and make no mistake about it, these were his two assignments from the First Globalist Family of Rockefeller: Obamacare and Obamatrade. Obamacare was and is a Rockefeller strategy for enforcing the pharmaceutical brand of medicine his ancestors pioneered early in the 20th century. The US Supreme Court has just papered over an obvious loophole and contradiction in the law, to keep Obamacare intact: “the state exchanges vs. federal exchanges.” No problem. No issue. Suddenly, for the Court, the “original intent” of the law is the prime consideration—whereas original intent has been derided, bombarded, crushed, and ignored when it comes to that little document called the US Constitution. Obama has also won vaunted, slam-dunk, “fast-track authority” on the three Globalist trade bills that will shortly arrive for Congressional approval, including the horrific TPP, which will grant Big Pharma more profits, as well as greater exemption in the matter of poisoning populations with their drugs." https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/obama-rockefellers-man-in-the-white-house-close-to-total-victory/
One of the left's many double standards. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/the_new_york_timess_antichristian_hypocrisy.html When government oversteps its Constitutional restraints things like this happen. http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/06/atlanta-fire-chief-fired-for-anti-gay-views-absolutely-wants-his-job-back/? Here's another ludicrous example. PC gone wild. http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/07/16/ca-dem-wants-husband-wife-banned-from-u-s-code/
A book we should all read and
share with others. If a ground swell of support by the people could
arise then maybe the nation could be saved. No matter what saving it
will be a huge undertaking and not without major pain. Quote: "Sadly,
the American public has become disconnected from its founding document,
the Constitution. Knowledge of civics is so deplorable that few people
can identify the three branches of government, let alone the
constitutional bases for them. Most Americans have never read the
Constitution. Even law students studying Constitutional Law learn mainly
about Supreme Court decisions interpreting
the Constitution—and arcane “theories” of interpretation— not the
actual text. This ignorance has permitted the Supreme Court (and elected
officials) to manipulate the Constitution, in the process allowing the
Leviathan state to expand beyond the narrow limits intended by the
Framers." http://spectator.org/articles/63183/new-federalist-papers
The title of this piece is
"Orthodox Christians Must Now Learn To Live as Exiles in Our Own
Country". That says it all. The Christian foundation of this country
has been replaced by secular humanists/elitists who hold no moral
standards whatever and they think that is a good thing. Quote: "It is
now clear that for this Court, extremism in the pursuit of the Sexual
Revolution’s goals is no vice. True, the majority opinion nodded and
smiled in the direction of the First Amendment, in an attempt to calm
the fears of those worried about religious liberty. But when a Supreme
Court majority is willing to invent rights out of nothing, it is
impossible to have faith that the First Amendment will offer any but the
barest protection to religious dissenters from gay rights orthodoxy."

Supreme Court Justice Alito says this about the court's 5 majority
decision. "Today’s decision usurps the constitutional right of the
people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding
of marriage. The decision will also have other important consequences.
It will be used to vilify Americans who are unwilling to assent to the
new orthodoxy. In the course of its opinion, the majority compares
traditional marriage laws to laws that denied equal treatment for
African-Americans and women. E.g., ante, at 11–13. The
implications of this analogy will be exploited by those who are
determined to stamp out every vestige of dissent." http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/alito-warns-defenders-traditional-marriage-now-risk-being-treated? This is what it has come to. Is anyone really proud to support a movement that exhibits this kind of behavior?http://americanspotlight.com/featured/gay-marchers-were-so-proud-of-harassing-christians-they-posted-video-online/
These are the people involved in
converting our Judeo/Christian heritage to a pagan amoral secular
humanists one. Their motives are selfish ones and bad for all of the
rest of us. http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/29/how-rich-corporate-elites-are-lobbying-lawmakers-to-crush-marriage-advocates/?
This is another view of the
Court's decision and one I believe will be the ultimate consequence of
their 5-4 decision. Think about it. Five people sitting on the Supreme
Court can DICTATE to a nation of over 310 million people what moral
standards we MUST hold. http://townhall.com/columnists/michaelbrown/2015/06/28/thank-you-justice-kennedy-n2018433/page/full
And this proposal provided by one member of Congress is intended to
blunt the blunder of the Court's faulty ruling. Time will tell what
will be the ultimate consequences. It is instructive to remember that
quite a number of past court decisions prove that its members are flawed
humans who too often act on personal opinions versus following the
clear language of the Constitution...keep in mind it was a past Supreme
Court at one time ruled that slavery was legal. Here is one well
considered discussion as to how the decision will play out. It is not
pretty. http://www.redstate.com/2015/06/27/obergefell-roadmap-drive-christianity-public-square/
What has been created is a night mare for Christians and a windfall
for lawyers and certain special interests. The collectivist left has
created a nation of special interests instead of a united nation of
equal citizens.
Regardless of whether or not you
agree with recent Supreme Court decisions, we all need to be concerned
about the "activism" of the Court. The way it is functioning it is
allowing a majority of only five justices to decide the direction of our
country of over 310 million people. That is a very dangerous
precedent. http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2015/06/30/supreme-court-disasters-n2018905/page/full
This piece illustrates the loonacy that comes with progressive
government officials selecting who has rights and who doesn't. http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/02/state-silences-bakers-who-refused-to-make-cake-for-lesbian-couple-fines-them-135k/?
Leftist/progressive demands and
government compliance has dire consequences. Here's proof that their
claims prior to the Supreme Court's ruling in their favor were just more
lies. They got what they wanted but still are not satisfied.
Quote: "For years conservatives and proponents of religious liberty in
America have warned that if same-sex marriage became legal, the left
would then pursue revoking the tax exempt status for religious
institutions, particularly Christian churches, around the country. Just
days after the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that gay marriage is a constitutional right, progressive activists like Mark Oppenheimer of the New York Times are calling for tax exempt statutes to be stripped." http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/06/29/it-begins-new-calls-to-strip-churches-of-tax-exempt-status-after-samesex-marriage-ruling-n2018688?
One of the tragedies of the gay
community's status is the children of such unions. Read this piece to
gain insights offered by those children. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/06/what_life_is_like_when_children_of_gay_couples_dont_matter.html
