Will Washington’s Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?

Bill Clinton lowered the culture, moral tone and strength of the nation — and left America vulnerable to attack. When it came, George W. Bush stood up for America, albeit sometimes clumsily.

Barack Obama, however, has pulled off the ultimate switcheroo: He’s diminishing America from within — so far, successfully.

Scout’s honor

by mvm2    in Conservatism,Education,Patriotism

Many organizations that celebrate “duty to God and country”—words from the Scout oath—have either fallen on hard times or have abandoned such values. The Girl Scouts, for example, no longer requires members to believe in God, and it allows openly gay leaders.

James White, a Reformed apologist, made a video describing how he uses technology, including Apple iPad, for his debates and preaching. One of the apps he uses is Olive Tree’s BibleReader!

He explains how he’s used BibleReader in preaching, for sermon notes, and for study of Greek biblical text. His review of BibleReader begins at about 5:40. He also offers detailed descriptions of a wide range of other electronic devices and other useful apps for reading and Bible Study.

But oil spill disasters of equal or greater magnitude have occurred over the past century with little or no long-term consequences.

What Obama Doesn’t Understand About Zionism

Comments Off
by mvm2    in Israel,Obama

Obama couldn’t have been more wrong.

The roots of Jewish aspirations for a state — what we call Zionism — run much deeper in the cycle of history. The quest for Jewish statehood did not germinate in European persecution — not in the Holocaust, not in the Spanish Inquisition, not in the systematic slaughter of Jews during the Crusades.

To trace Zionist roots, one must rewind the historical tape to a non-European setting some four thousand years ago. The genesis of Zionism starts with the Book of Genesis.

There, in Chapter 12, is the first flicker of Zionism:

Now the Lord said unto Abram: “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the LAND that I will show thee. And I will make of thee a great NATION, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and BE THOU A BLESSING.”

What Would Saul Alinsky Do?

Comments Off
by mvm2    in Obama,Politcal,Socialism

Of course, shrewd Alinskyites like Obama will always have a plausible excuse for their deceitful tactics. In this case, they are alleging newly discovered facts. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he intends to reimpose the drilling moratorium based on information that wasn’t “fully developed” in May, when the six-month moratorium was imposed. Quite convenient.

Police in the heavily Arab Detroit suburb of Dearborn say they arrested four Christian missionaries for disorderly conduct at an Arab cultural festival… The “disorderly conduct” consisted of handing out copies of the Gospel of John outside the festival.

Is this America? Christian activists arrested in Dearborn just for showing up at Arab Festival

Comments Off
by mvm2    in Bible Centered,Conservatism,Freedom,Islam

I received this note from David Wood of Answering Muslims:

Muslims threatened to kill Nabeel and me if we showed up again at Arab Fest in Dearborn, so we went there yesterday. They didn’t kill us. Instead, police arrested us and we got to spend a night in jail (along with two others who were video recording us). Interesting city. I feel a documentary coming on. Title: “Welcome to Dearborn.”
Is it now illegal to preach Christianity in Dearborn, Michigan? Have Sharia rules been imposed there?

Is Obama’s BP Shakedown an Impeachable Offense?

Comments Off
by mvm2    in Constitution,Obama,Terrorism

As former counsel and trainer in political tactics for ACORN, President Obama used a well-known ACORN tactic, the shakedown, in getting BP to create the $20 billion escrow (slush!) fund without any law, legal controls, or binding rules to guide it on how, to whom, and how much those injured materially by the oil spill will be paid.

An Oil Spill Is Not a License to Suspend the Rule of Law

Comments Off
by mvm2    in Constitution,Freedom,Marxism,Obama,Redistribution of Wealth

However, none of these events or responsibilities gives the president the power to suspend the constitution, revoke the rule of law or demand payments from a company. In fact the $20 billion fund “demanded” of BP by the Obama administration does just that. To understand let’s review the facts around the fund.

The Democrat’s Sinister Plan to Retain Power

Comments Off

By Marion Valentine Friday, June 18, 2010
First of all I spent 9 years in Navy Intelligence, gathering information, connecting the dots, and predicting the next moves by the enemy.

This Administration has been shredding the Constitution since day one, and has accumulated more power to the Executive branch than any time in the history of our Country.

Fact:

This administration does not wish to do anything to protect our borders.
This administration advocates OPEN borders.
This administration has looted our financial resources.
This administration is hell bent on Nationalizing all businesses.
This administration has declared war on free market capitalism.
This administration has stolen the future of generations of Americans by running up unsustainable debt.
This administration has pulled off the largest land grab in history.
Take into consideration, open borders, a bankrupt country, Government control of finance, energy, health, and almost every other aspect of your daily life. Also consider the areas in America on Government controlled land where there are signs posted warning Americans not to enter because of the smuggling activities of ILLEGAL aliens. Now consider the over 13 million acre land grab by this administration.

This old intel guy connects the dots as follows:

24 Why isn’t Barack Obama still a member of the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why isn’t Michelle Obama still a member of the Illinois bar, after only about four years of practice, and where are all of the relevant documents?
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
