Wisconsin A Pawn

2011-02-21T05:59:00.000-08:00

Have you been asleep? Did you go back to sleep after the November elections? Did you miss the most lame, Lame Duck Session that we have ever had in December?

Well, the world appears to be on fire now and your little patch of earth will soon be scorched. You cannot run nor hide.

Let's look at what's happening in Wisconsin now. First though, back up and look at the last 2 years. We elected a closet socialist, who's soul purpose is to divide and concur. He and his administration of Czars openly take one person's wealth and give it to the those without. This is a recipe for disaster considering this nation has functioned as limited government and free markets for nearly 300 years just fine. Have we tipped the scales and are going the other way?

This administration is at the half-way point to the next Presidential vote. With the waxing they took with the overwhelming election of their opposition-GOP it's looking dim for the Dems-laugh, that's a joke!

Anyway, it is true that before the 2008 election vote, both sides have been at fault to keep their two party wheel turning. We have a different beast in our government now. This beast works with globalists in an effort to change the face of our country.

When I went to Washington, D.C. in September 2009 for the first major tea party, I rode on a bus with some who had come to this country that had fled the rule of Dictators and oppression where everything is dictated from the wealth to the food. They were concerned then that's what we were facing in the U.S. with Barack Obama as a dictatorial President. I really didn't know then if that were true but I do now. All you have to do is look around and do a a simple search online of historical reference to other oppressed nations with dictators.

The Obama Presidential campaign for 2012 is gearing up and it has started in Wisconsin. Organizing For America is the President's former campaign organization Take 2. They are using the Unions and the people of the Great State of Wisconsin as pawns. They are doing to divide the people. What these government employees have forgotten that they work because the private sector has been thriving. Here's a news flash though, Obama has choked off the private sector, spent money we don't have, forced healthcare upon us, changed the face of the free markets which aren't functioning properly making them puney and anemic. But back to Wisconsin, why are these Union people protesting to keep their benefits. WE THE TAX PAYER IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR ARE PAYING FOR YOU TO WORK.

Now, Watch the video of Herman Cain at the tea party protest on Saturday and listen at the Union protestors chanting in the background.

I wish the good souls siding with the Unions would realize that we need to wake-up and realize we are being used like a fiddle, a pawn if you will. Save the Republic and recognize what this is.

Rubio not backing off just PUSHING TEA PARTY MESSAGE HOME.

2011-01-25T07:09:00.000-08:00

Rubio is not backing off or in denial on his tea party message. Read his words. His point is when Washington D.C. bureaucrats create and join fascade "tea party" organizations in D.C., there is a measure of whether or not they actually mean it or will carry the message of WE THE PEOPLE.

If you've attended a tea party in your local community and you have listened to an elected leader speak, especially a sitting one from state or federally, you have had to question whether or not this person is sincere or whether or not their record actually reflects what you expected them to have accomplished.

Rubio is not distancing himself, he is not running for President or anything else. He is walking the walk carefully and only time will tell. This is a distraction from the drive by media on the heals of a President who is about to give his State of the Union speech. The focus should be on a failed President after only two years in office, forcing his agenda and regime on We the People. Nothing more, nothing less. Rubio is a threat to these and the games have begun. Politics is a blood bath.

READ HIS WORDS in the article below....GET THE FACTS !
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/01/marco-rubio-tea-party-senate-caucus-/1?csp=34

Excerpts:
[Rubio said he's worried the small-government, anti-tax movement will "lose its effectiveness" if it becomes a creature of Washington.]

["Why do we need something in addition to the steering committee (a group headed by conservative Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.)?" Rubio said. "My concern is that politicians all of a sudden start co-opting the mantle of Tea Party. If all of a sudden being in the Tea Party is not something that is happening in Main Street, but rather something that is happening in Washington, D.C., the Tea Party all of a sudden becomes some sort of movement run by politicians."]

It's About The SPENDING....Now, Trim The Fat !!

2011-01-16T04:51:00.000-08:00

It's about the S.P.E.N.D.I.N.G....stands for -stupid people enjoying nations deficit independence nearly gone.

Why is it that when one political party in this country is in power they over step their boundaries and when the other party is in power they work at cutting and reversing all that the previous political party did prior to their taking over?

That is the beauty of this wonderful system but what do you call it when both sides go too far and just don't get it anymore? I mean when the bureaucrats take us for a ride on a runaw ay train whether it be on spending, policy or power which leads to budget busting, takeovers, corruption, deficits and more. Arguably enough the other party does it's share of spending, policy making and power grabbing but WHY? Is it because that's the way things work? How about the adage it's our turn now so we are going to get our share? Or how about the phrase 'two sides same coin'? Is that what we are seeing?

What about the American Citizen? Have We the People been stepped on and forgotten? The decisions in Washington, D.C. as well as locally affect us all no matter the party or which side of the issue one chooses to be on but at some point We the People as well as the bureaucrats must realized as one nation that it is WE whom are affected. The quicker the better and it's only a matter of time.

How Much Does Congress Make?

2011-01-03T19:12:00.000-08:00

How much does Congress make?

"We keep hearing about the sacred cows of social security and defense but what about the percentage of the budget it takes to run the government? I'd like to see the percentages of salaries of Congress, their benefits, and retirement." — N. H. Jansen

Though they make up less than five percent of the roughly $4 trillion federal budget, the salaries and health and retirement benefits for members of Congress and other government employees have become a target of many of those looking to slash government costs.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with about 2 million civilian employees, excluding the postal service, the federal government is the nation's largest employer.

Islamic “values” are seeping into charter schools and via the Discovery Channel and Gulen movement

2010-12-29T17:10:00.000-08:00

Kevin Collins' Coach Is Right

By Suzanne Eovaldi, staff writer ( this is a special edition of Sunday’s with Suzanne)

Our school children are facing Muslim indoctrination with “The 99″ project which is set to air in January with a 13 episode series on the Discovery Channel for Kids. President Obama praised this media event for capturing young imaginations by “teaching tolerance for Islam” at his recent Washington, D.C. Presidential Summit speech.

This new series is using animated adventure heroes to depict the 99 attributes of Allah in what the London Times (1) is saying “the show’s mission is to instill old fashioned Islamic values” into our Christian children.
Kathy Bright of the Bright Media network has developed (2) The Shield Bearer project to counter the Islamization of our children by using new God centered action heroes. “The 99″ project describes two Muslim heroes as Jabbar The Powerful: from Saudi Arabia and Widad The Loving: from the Philippines, while calling Darr The Afflicter: the United States role model.

Obama's Secret Army Authorized in Health Care Bill

INFOWARS
Obama Just Got His Private Army
Nancy Matthis
American Daughter
March 27, 2010

Remember when Obama said he wanted a “national security force”? Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state.

Remember that first alarming glimpse of what that army might look like? Notice how much these “Hitler youth” type young men talk about health care!

Obama just got his private army…

…And no one seems to have noticed. It is buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill.

One would have thought that with the elections safely behind us and a new year in front of us that all would be right with the world. After all, many of the Tea Party candidates were elected, many "conservative" Republicans were enthroned, and many Democrats were tossed out like yesterday's bad news. But such is not the case. The recently ended lame duck session of Congress ended with a breath-taking agenda being passed because of the avarice -or cowardice - of the Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Harry Reid, who found as many Republican traitors as he needed to act as willing lackeys for the socialist agenda of the Reid, Pelosi, and Obama Unholy Trinity, couldn't be happier. He passed a stunning array of legislation in the most destructive lame duck sessions in history. From homosexualizing the military, to the giveaway of food sovereignty, to outright betrayal of our country in the passage of the START Treaty. Harry Reid deserves the Benedict Arnold Award for betrayal.

The Republicans should win the award for best supporting cast. Not one of these items could have been passed without the complicity of Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans.

Benedict Reid was able to pass S.510, which will destroy small farms in America, cedes food sovereignty of this nation to the DHS, the EPA, and the UN through international treaty, and bans food storage, vegetable stands, and seed storage for Americans. How anybody would be so stupid or traitorous to vote for such a bill is beyond me, but vote they did. Congratulations America … the UN now officially controls your food supplies. Just as an aside, there were no dissenting Republican votes on this bill. It was passed with a unanimous voice vote … so much for just a few bad apples amongst the Republicans in the Senate.

Meanwhile, our military capability has been dramatically reduced by the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Setting aside the moral, or rather the immoral, implications, which are grave in such a move, Rome found out that just before an empire collapses progressives make open homosexuality possibly in the military. But the presence of these individuals is both disruptive and morale breaking. Privacy is destroyed in the barracks, the showers, and even in combat. Now, add the courts and frivolous "I don't like the way the sergeant treats me" law suits in this litigious society and one cannot imagine that our military will even be able to function a few years from now.

In one final flying digit and insult to their countrymen, and especially those who had the temerity to stand up and say, “Enough!” liberal Republicans and Democrats coalesced and created a series of laws from which America may not recover.

Pathetic RINOs such as, Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts (newly elected with the help of the Tea Party), Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (re-elected as a write-in candidate), newly elected Mark Kirk of Illinois, and liberal retiring lame duck George Voinovich of Ohio (who took one last opportunity to betray his party and his country), newly re-elected Richard Burr of North Carolina, John Ensign of Nevada (who is up for election in 2012), Susan Harridan Collins of Maine (who is up for reelection in 2014), and Olympia Termagant Snowe of Maine (who is up for election in 2012) showed their true colors in the voting to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell during this lame duck session of congress.

Then there is the START Treaty. This bill should have been filibustered from the beginning. Never before has a treaty of this magnitude been passed during a lame duck session. This debilitating concordant was jammed through the Senate with practically no discussion or debate and no amendments. The provisions of the preamble of this treaty eliminate our defensive missile capability, hurt us numerically in short and mid range missiles, and put the Russians at a marked advantage on almost every front. Did it not occur to any of these cretins that the Russians said they would pull out of the agreement if one word of the treaty was changed because they had us right where they wanted us? Yet, the Democrats with the help of the RINO Senators, just blithely inflicted this treaty upon the American people. This begs the question: Are they just stupid or is there a darker side to this vote?

Voting with the Democrats were 13 Progressive Republican Senators. They included: Alexander (TN), Bennett (UT) - retiring, Brown (MA), Cochran (MS), Collins, ME), Gregg (NH) - retiring, Isakson (GA), Johanns (NE), Lugar (IN), Murkowski (AK), Snowe (ME), Voinovich (OH) - retiring.

I hope every Tea Party American remembers this list of traitors who sold America into treaty slavery in an unprecedented lame duck session voting with other progressives to cripple this nation. They should be recalled, excoriated, and replaced with real Americans. They are progressive seditionists who, while pretending to love their country, are voting for her demise with the creation of this treaty and repeal of DADT.

We'll see what the new Congress brings. But for me, if in about 120 days I don't see a remarkable change in the Republican establishment, I will begin working for a new political party that replaces the Republican sellouts with real Americans, patriots, and statesmen instead of the RINO political hacks that are so content to sell us down the river.

So, my Republican friends, if by May 1, 2011, you have not made major strides in undoing what has been done to us, you will find me doing all I can to replace your party with a party that really cares for America and is willing to put it all on the line to save this country. There are only two sides in this debate - the side of the constitution and the American people - or - the side of the progressive, globalist, socialists who are leading us to their mark of the beast New World Order.

One would have thought that with the elections safely behind us and a new year in front of us that all would be right with the world.

The Birth Of The Savior And The Birth Of America Are Linked

2010-12-24T08:13:00.000-08:00

By Chuck Baldwin

December 23, 2010

Archived column:

http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=2601

As we approach the celebration of Christ's birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:

"Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? . Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth. That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?"

Adams was exactly right: America's birth is directly linked to the birth of our Savior. In fact, the United States of America is the only nation established by Christian people, upon Biblical principles, and dedicated to the purpose of religious liberty. This truth is easily observed within America's earliest history.

America's forebears first established a written covenant with God as early as November 11, 1620, when they penned The Mayflower Compact.

It states in part:

"In the name of God, Amen. . Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."

The sentiments and statements of America's founders make it clear that this nation has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history. No other people have such a heritage.

One thing America's founders could not envision was--after they had paid so terrible a price to purchase our liberties--that the time would come when their posterity would be denied the basic freedoms to publicly express their reverence for God. Never could they have imagined that the day would come when citizens of the sovereign states (each with a State constitution protecting religious liberty) would be denied their right to pray in school, or place Nativity scenes on public property, or hang copies of the Ten Commandments on courthouse walls.

I am also confident that America's founders would be completely repulsed by the way the United States has jumped headlong into corporatism, socialism, and globalism. At the national level, Democrats and Republicans alike have created a central government so large that it would be unrecognizable to any Founding Father (even Alexander Hamilton or John Adams). In addition, both Big Business and Big Religion have sold our great country down the old proverbial river. Truly, our Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their

graves.

Therefore, at this Christmas season, let us remember well the founding

principles of these United States of America. Furthermore, let us renew with vigor the fight for freedom before our liberties and our heritage are gone altogether.

From my family to yours: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas To All From The Baker Family

2010-12-23T05:37:00.000-08:00

By: Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker

Tonight will be Christmas eve and it seems to me that the country is a little sadder, a little more reflective, a lot more realistic, and a little less hedonistic this year. I know that this sounds like a weird opening for a Christmas message, but I think this is a healthy thing. I think many of us are longing for a simpler, more honest time in America.

I really miss Christmas and long for the feeling of Christmas I had as a child. For so long we have made Christmas so glitzy and vulgar that we have missed the real joy of this season. It is sad, but it's a part of the identity loss we are suffering as a people. Maybe this year, this adversity we are going through, is not all bad. And while I sympathize with families out of work at this time of year, perhaps this is giving us pause to reflect on all we've had, all we've lost, and all we have stopped being.

Christmas during my childhood is one of my sweetest memories. Sure, we had the tree and the presents, and the trappings of Christmas. But what I remember is not the presents or the trees, but the hot chocolate made with real cocoa. I remember the Christmas cookies made with all the love of Christmas past. I remember practicing for the Christmas pageant that the church children put on every Christmas eve. I remember going to the small little house of my grandparents on Christmas day with all of my aunts and uncles and all of their kids. I remember the snowball fights, warming by the old stove, and the giggling conversations of children amerced in the innocence of yesteryear. The Christmas meal wasn't about just eating, it was about family, tradition, and remembering.

I can still see my long lost uncle from New York sitting there at the table with his brothers and sisters and watching the bond being reformed ... becoming family all over again. I remember the story telling and the good natured ribbing. I remember the presentation of the turkey and the home made noodles (weird Christmas tradition at the Baker's Christmas table) which I loved.

I can recall so vividly the color of the sky as evening set in on Christmas day. That was a time when all the world was right. By this time in the evening, all the kids were wet, cold and tired and ready for more hot chocolate and freshly baked homemade pie. And following the pie came games. The kids would be at the table in the basement playing board games and the adults would play cards at the huge dining room table, which would comfortably seat about 12 to 14 people. Grandma and Grandpa had eight children and a large table was a necessity.

I remember the drive home to our little town of Rochelle in northern Illinois near the Wisconsin border. There was one street over which the trees made a tunnel in the summer, but in the winter, on those Christmas night rides home, I remember the way the moon silhouetted those leafless trees. I remember the blue and purple tint to the moonlight that colored the snow and made everything look cold, but somehow peaceful.

But I also remember what we celebrated. I know that Christmas is not the real time of the birth of the Messiah, but then we didn't know that … we just knew that this was a special event. From my earliest remembrance we knew the story of the shepherds watching their flocks by night. We knew about Mary, the young mother tenderly caring for her child lying in swaddling clothes in a cold dark manger. We knew of the star of Bethlehem and the wise men. We knew of the glory of the angels filling the sky as even the heavens could not contain the power and the joyous rapture of this event.

Luke 2: 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12: And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Peace on earth good will toward men. And yet there is no peace on earth. This Christmas we have members of our armed forces braving the elements and facing Islamo extremism around the world; our politicians have betrayed us again and again in Washington D.C., and state capitals around the country. Our financial crisis threatens to destroy our economy and millions of our country men are jobless and scared. Justice evades our courts and arrogance rules in the White House.

But even in this midst of this turbulence and betrayal, we can look forward to a time when all of this will be replaced with a prophesied righteous government which will be established forever. And fortunately, we have the surety, the down payment of the promise posited with us at this Christmas season. Let me share with you the prophecy of that time of righteous government, which came as the spirit moved the prophet Isaiah, 700 hundred years before the birth of the Messiah.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

9:7: Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

There will come a time when all that we see: the violence, the corruption, and the brutality of humankind come to an end and there will come to this earth that which the very earth itself has cried out for ... peace. The peace of Christmas; the peace that was wrought when the King of kings chose to make himself the peace offering for all of us.

It is indeed astounding to think that the Creator of all things would humble Himself to the birth of a peasant that we might be made kings and priests; And from that rude, cold and dark manger the world would find life, and light, and finally the peace that passes all understanding and brings joyous hope to an otherwise sad and broken humanity. How great is our salvation? How great is our God? How sure is the hope of those whose God is the Lord?

This Christmas season, Katie and I wish for you memories of the innocence of Christmas past, the joy of the shepherds as they gathered at the manger celebrating the fulfillment of all their hopes and dreams throughout the generations of Israel and in your heart, we wish for you, peace ... the peace that comes from knowing that our Messiah is no longer a helpless babe in a manger but the Lion of Judah and our loving redeemer that came to this earth for all, but more importantly He came for you. Had there been no one else on this planet but you ... he still would have come, for you.

That, dear friends, is the message and meaning and the Peace of Christmas and it is that, we wish for you all.

Don't Ask Dont Tell - A Behind the Scenes Look

2010-12-19T15:10:00.000-08:00

Dr. Jake Baker
Sunday, December 19, 2010

Until now I have been silent on the “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” (DADT)debate. I guess I figured that sanity would prevail. Now we know that is not the case. As a continued act of betrayal, eight Senate Republicans stood with 53 democrats and 2 independents to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, a policy which has been in place since 1993.

The eight Republicans were: Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts (newly elected with the help of the Tea Party), Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (re-elected as a write-in candidate), newly elected Mark Kirk of Illinois, liberal retiring lame duck George Voinovich of Ohio took one last opportunity to betray his party, newly reelected Richard Burr of North Carolina, John Ensign of Nevada (who is up for election in 2012), Susan Collins of Maine (who is up for reelection in 2014) and Olympia Snowe of Maine (who is up for election in 2012).

I will go into the moral side of this discussion later, but let us address first the consequences and real agenda of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.  If you are foolish enough to believe that the anti-American, anti-military factions that are pushing this agenda are doing so because of their love and admiration for the homosexual community, you are dangerously naive, far too gullible to be in a position of leadership, or your family tree stopped forking a few generations back. This will do to the military what a computer virus does to a hard drive. More on this later, but let me start with where I stand on the issue.

I am not a "seek and destroy Christian zealot" who believes the government should reside in the bedroom of American homes. I don't believe that what goes on between a man and a woman is any of government's business. Nor is it the business of the community unless it affects the community. If you turn your home into a brothel, you are making my neighborhood unsafe for my family by bringing in a criminal element and potential sexual predators. You will have my full attention at that point in time.

Likewise, I am not interested at all in the private consensual behavior of the homosexual community. If you live in my neighborhood and I hear whispers about these "guys" who live in that house on the corner, I am forced dismiss such rumors because under the law that I honor, Biblical law, unless there are two eye witnesses, no charge cannot be brought against anyone for anything. However, the minute you start having raucous parties where public indecency is displayed, you have made your lifestyle my business. Further, when one begins parading up and down the city streets of major cities in America (see: San Francisco Gay Pride Parade) naked, flaunting one's sexuality, and demanding special rights, you and I will find ourselves on opposite sides of the sexual divide … no ifs ands or butts about it.

Likewise, when you join the military and demand special rights to accommodate your sexual lifestyle, you have crossed the line. If we, as a nation, have to make special provisions to accommodate your sexual proclivities, where does it end? Should we not then have special provisions for polygamists? How about people that love their animals in that "special way" … shouldn't they have special protection? If homosexuality is "natural human behavior," isn't bestiality as well? After all, didn't God make us all the way we are?
And, of course, everyone knows we need special protections for those who love little boys, like NAMBLA. They are so misunderstood and hated, but didn't God make them that way? Why should they be punished for "natural human behavior"?

And how about other groups like necrophilias? Do you have any idea how difficult a public relations task selling this life style is? It’s just so hard to find understanding for these poor folks. Their outlook is so grave that I believe Harry Reid should sponsor a bill yet today just for them. Who knows … in this lame duck congress (that for the bestiality folks), even a bill for necrophilias may not be dead on arrival, which would probably leave necrophilias with mixed emotions.

Back to Don't Ask Don't Tell. There are some good sides to having openly gay men in the barracks with straights. First, it might stimulate the economy. I mean, if we have a couple million soldiers all buying soap on a rope, it is bound to boost the economy of soap on a rope makers. And I think serving in a forward position with an openly gay man would have a tendency to keep one awake in the foxhole … or anywhere else for that matter. Awkward isn't it?   Being in forward position while fighting a rear guard action? But I digress. There are, in reality, serious health issues at stake.

A study of homosexual men shows that more than 75% of homosexual men admitted to having sex with more than 100 different males in their lifetime; approximately 15% claimed to have had 100-249 sex partners; 17% claimed 250-499 partners; 15% claimed 500-999 partners, and 28% claimed more than 1,000 lifetime sexual partners according to Wiki.answers.com.

Homosexuality seems to be a highly lustful lifestyle with the average homosexual having hundreds of sex partners during their lifetime. How is that going to play out in the barracks? Are the barracks going to become a hedonistic brothel filled with Caligulan scenes of sexual romp and lust? And if not, how about "tender moments" of hand holding and "cuddling" … is that going to be allowed in the barracks? And if such behavior is banned, how long will it be before the ACLU is suing the Army and the federal government on the grounds that the gay community is being singled out and discriminated against for only exercising "natural human behavior" already condoned by both the military and the federal government, when they revoked the DADT policy.

Then there is the privacy question. We do not allow men to live with women in the barracks. Experience has taught us that a separation of the sexes prevents a lot of potential problems, like inter-barracks relationship problems, interpersonal conflicts created by jealousy, breakups, pregnancy (which probably won't be an issue in this case), and other "natural human behavior".

Next is the problem of inappropriate sexual behavior. We avoid the potential problems which can be created when a few good men have been out partying for a few too many hours coming back to the barracks to join a vulnerable Private Jane Doe in the co-ed showers. But even the innocent appearance of an obviously amorous male in the co-ed shower area might well be, or at least should be, an affront to the modesty of the female soldiers or now after the repeal of DADT, male soldiers.

How are straight men going to respond when they walk from the shower to their bunk and the scene turns to a "B" flick lewd prison backdrop complete with catcalls and whistles? How will that affect training, discipline, and self confidence? Will the barracks become “us” against “them” ... straights against gays?

Perhaps homosexuals should be separated from the rest of the troops to avoid the possibility of sexual harassment. But that is akin to asking men and women to bunk together isn't it? So what does one do with openly gay individuals in the military?
As stated earlier, the homosexual lifestyle for over 75% of gay men is all about sexual encounters, hundreds of them. How does that affect hygiene in the military?

Over 70% of all AIDS diagnoses in Canada in adults over the age of 15 up to June 2004 were in homosexual men (13,019 out of 19,238). 60% of all positive HIV tests are found in homosexual men. This contrasts with just over 15% of all positive HIV tests which are due to heterosexual contact. (Public Health Agency of Canada. HIV and AIDS in Canada. November 2004).
Dramatic increases in syphilis in many large cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, but also in London and Manchester, UK are in the majority observed in homosexual men. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Trends in primary and secondary syphilis and HIV infections in men who have sex with men. MMWR 2004; 53: 575-8. and Nicoll A. Are trends in HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis worsening in Western Europe? BMJ 2002; 324:1324-7.)
According to "Gay author Gabriel Rotello the perspective of many gays that "Gay liberation was founded . . . on a 'sexual brotherhood of promiscuity,' and any abandonment of that promiscuity would amount to a 'communal betrayal of gargantuan proportions.'" This reinforces my point earlier concerning their demand for equal sexual rights and the glut of court cases that would result in any attempt to limit what to them is "Natural Human Behavior."

Finally, I know that its passé to remind anyone of moral standards, but morals are no small part of the argument. What liberals in America have forgotten is that those of us who hold Judeo Christian values are the norm and that dissenting voices, pushing homosexuality, are the contrarians.

We, as traditional Christian America, have rights too. The left does not have a right to inflict their religion of liberal one world humanistic theology on us. Their religion is humanism and their theology, which sees intellect as Divine Spark, is anathema to millions of Americans who hold a Judeo Christian understanding of life. The left tells us that we have no right to force our religion and morality on them, but they have no problem erasing over four centuries of Judeo Christian heritage and morality on this continent and imposing their vulgar religion of humanistic licentiousness on us.

Every belief system is religious by its very nature. It determines both the course and correction of a society.   History is replete with nations which have traded Christianity for the humanistic religion of the left and history is replete with the stories of failure, collapse and finally the replacement of freedom with the despotism of Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler.

So what will it be America the religion of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank, who has really gotten behind the repeal of DADT, or the religion of our Creator who saw our forefathers through the impossible victory over the invincible British Empire? Was their confidence in themselves or their military prowess? Hardly!

Their faith was this: “With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence."
Nor did our founders believe that humanism could lead a nation. "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

Will the law of the Creator, whose Triune God-head our fathers celebrated in the creation of a tripartite government, be our guide or will we desert that safe harbor for the humanistic worship of intellect and power preached Marx, Lenin, and the American Left?

Unfortunately, what most Americans don't realize is that the religion of George Soros and his ilk, and their minions like Barrack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, is the religion of power. Their goal is not to raise up America to a new enlightenment. Their agenda is to collapse America and level the playing field with the rest of the world. They believe that our power and influence is what stands in the way of their NWO. Their constant piling on of debt to the nation isn't about doing good for the poor, it is about caving in the economy causing panic and confusion, from which only they will be able to lead us to safety. The goal is always destruction that they might rebuild the world in their image of what it should be and under their wise leadership.

Finally, if they are to be successful in their quest to build this New World Order, the strategy has to include the control of every aspects of society. Among these are the economy, the media, education, government, the courts, and the military. One of the remaining two obstacles is the media the other is control of the military.

General degradation of the military can be accomplished through the appointment of socialist generals by a lackey of the NWO, which Mr. Obama (despite the constitutional restriction under Article 1 Section 8 which reserves to the states the appointment of general officers) has already done. The other is to generally degrade the capability of the military. That, my friends, is the real purpose of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. This move alone will do more to disrupt the military than any other single move that could have been made.

Sure, we have fought endless wars to tax our military, extended them beyond human endurance, and created impossible rules of engagement for them to follow. But, our soldiers are the best in the world. And despite these brutish tactics they have stood tall and exceeded even these draconian demands placed upon them. They are nothing short of heroic. But injecting the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell into the military is akin to inserting a computer virus into a hard drive. It begins chipping away at programs and the registry and then begins causing such chaos as to make the device unusable. For the military, that virus is Don't Ask Don't Tell.   Through disease, social disruption, breakdown of military order, legal chaos, and the destruction of morale, this may well do what no Fabian bureaucrat or no army in the world can do ... beat the American military.

So, now that our weak kneed politicians have gotten all mushy and politically correct on the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, think about the ramifications and the unintended consequences (or perhaps more properly, intended consequences) of what we are doing and the potentially catastrophic cause and effect this repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell will have on the defenses of America.

5 + 1 Steps to Saving America

2010-12-19T13:49:00.001-08:00

I remember when I attended Sunday School as a child that we were taught the 5 Steps to Salvation. I was just thinking on that and it occurred to me that there are 5+1 Steps to Saving America.

1. Hear the Gospel

First, we had to hear the message that we were in trouble and needed saved.

We've been preaching this message now for over twenty years and most recently Glenn Beck and others have taken to the pulpits to proclaim the gospel that "America, we're in trouble and in need of salvation."

2. Believe in One God

We have proven with documented quotes from the Founding Fathers in "Securing the Dream: America Again!" that they firmly believed we were to be a Christian nation. www.zootter.com/cryfreedom.htm

3. Repent of All Sin

I am convinced that if this is just a polical movement, we are doomed to failure. It must be a spiritual movement that results in political action.

We have preached this for over twenty years, and this message has not changed and is still true today.

So many of us have been caught up in the everyday routine of living ... or just surviving ... that we have not paid attention to what those buzzards in Washington were doing.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, REPENT!

4. Confess Jesus as Lord

Well, I certainly don't want to equate our Lord Jesus to the Constitution, BUT, Jesus was the Law Giver and He showed us how we should live, "Love one another." Our Constitution is the law of the land and it guides us in the ways we are to govern and to be governed.

Just as a Christian we must publically announce that "Jesus is Lord," we as Americans must take a solemn vow to: "Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

5. Be Immersed in Water

Wow, that's a good one ... had to think on this one just for a minute. As Christians, most of us have been immersed in the holy waters of baptism.

But, with the current war that is being waged in our nation, I think it is something much more "stinky" that we've been immersed in. STOP letting them dump all over you! Clean up your act and get bathed in the realization that we can still act before it's too late to take back our country.

HERE'S THE +

6. Live a life that is pleasing and under God's laws, loving one another, as Christ loved the church.

You know, folks, it does absolutely NO good to follow steps 1 - 5 if we don't apply Step 6. Even though we do not agree with those of liberal persuasions, we must still respond in love, as Christ loved the church. How else will we ever be able to "reason" with them and show them the right path? (I know the word reason - when used with liberals - is an oxymoron, but I had to put it in anyways!)

I know some of you are thinking, "Yeah, and Christ threw the thieves out of the temple!"

Well, you are right. It's time to throw those in Washington who think they have become gods - OUT! There should be a righteous indignation against those that have been stealing from us, our children, and our grandchildren.

That is why now, more than ever, we must no longer sit by and be idle and do nothing. Each and every one of us has talents and abilities that are god-given and we can do something. From our children to us little old grannies; to those who feel they can't speak out to those with wonderful oratorical skills; from those of us who in the past may have only occasionally voted to those who will run for office, all of us have something to offer to restore our once great nation!

Vote November 2nd for those who will defend and protect our constitution and who are of good character who will vow to lead by example for our nation's youth.

U.S. Oil Supplies

2010-12-19T13:38:00.001-08:00

By: Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker

Here's an interesting read: and some important and verifiable information: About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes brothers was the guest.

The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "More than all the Middle East put together."

Please read below: The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big! It was a revised report (which had not been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western two-thirds of North Dakota , westernSouth Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana .....

Check THIS out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable. At $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.

"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

It's a formation known as theWilliston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the "Big Oil'"companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves. We now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because the information is from 2006! U. S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of theRocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels.

On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this 'mother lode' of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen

and it's all right here in the Western United States. HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil!

Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East ... more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Do you think OPEC will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace ... it has to. Do you think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

Navigating the Intellectual Flotsam Of The Left

2010-12-19T13:33:00.000-08:00

by: Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker, Saturday, October 30, 2010

I am breaking my own rules and responding to this Neanderthal by "arguing with idiots," if you will. This is the typical leftist rant, class warfare, hillbilly tea partiers, etc. Politicus USA, in a post on October 20, 2010 by Sarah Jones, in an article titled, "Tea Party Oligarchy: Trust Fund Babies Are Good For Workers":

“Oh, didn’t they tell you? When they said 'grass roots movement' of the people, by the people…yada yada, they meant elitist oligarchs should be in power, either through ignorant puppets who don’t know better like Christine O’Donnell or the real live bona fide Oligarch types like we have here in John Raese of West Virginia (R-WV), cuz nothing says populism like inheriting somewhere around 79 million dollars….

“And liberty. Oh, sweet liberty of being born to the right parents like the founders intended. A nation built upon a system of oligarchs, don’t you dare tread on my trust fund you dirty ape and just in case, we have Sarah Palin the rude ingrate populist puppet to sell it all to you. Oligarchy first! Oh, land that I love….

“The Tea Party is running candidates who aren’t vetted and don’t know what they’re talking about when they puppet big corporate daddy lines or they’re just cuttin’ the puppets out and running the owners of said corporations. All of these things are being sold to you as populism. If you buy that, I’ve got some lovely land in Florida….Gold? A super hot book I wrote myself about myself?”

I'm trying to decide if you people are ill informed, naive, weak minded, or if you actually believe the drivel you write. When speaking of Republican money, you may not know that two-thirds of Wall Street CEOs are democrats. Let me quote the New York Times' article, Democrats Retain Edge in Campaign Spending," by Michael Luo and Griff Palmer, Published: October 26, 2010:"

“Lost in all of the attention paid to the heavy spending by Republican-oriented independent groups in this year’s midterm elections is that Democratic candidates have generally wielded a significant head-to-head financial advantage over their Republican opponents in individual competitive races.”

The fact is, the party of elitists is the Democratic party, whose leaders consist of the some of the richest politicians in the country, like the late Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Jane Harman, Jay Rockefeller, Mark Warner, Jared Polis, Frank Lautenberg, Dianne Feinstein, and Harry Teague. These Dems comprise 8 of the 10 richest senators and congressmen in D.C. Their combined wealth is approaching a billion dollars. Further, the Dems are funded by the largest unions in America. During this campaign cycle, the unions have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars. This, despite the fact the polls released this week, shows that union members preferred not to have their money spent this way.

I love the condescending attitude you leftists display mocking anyone who is not you. In your whitless diatribe you mock Christine O'Donnell and infer that she may not be a rocket scientist. I would much rather have her supposed naiveté, which in my estimation is honest patriotism, rather than the feigned intellectualism in D.C., than the scheming backroom, deal-cutting racketeers, which the dems proved themselves to be in the duplicitous handling of the health care package, which the public didn't want, doctors by better than a 2 to 1 margin decry, and economists say will cost trillions of dollars.

Perhaps some of you in the leftist brain trust can figure out how to pay for this latest round of Marxist palaver. Don't bother to come back with the “tax the rich” scheme. If you took every asset of all of the top 3% of the richest Americans, most of whom are democrats, you would affect the national debt by less than 1%. And taxing small business owners who declare more than $250K annual income will break the back of an Obama weakened economy and drive the nation to ruin quicker.

But, when you think about it, perhaps that's the real goal of leftists like you any. If you can collapse the economy and drive the system into the ground, you and your progressive ilk can step right in and lead us to a bright and shining new world order.

Personally, I've seen enough of New World Orders in my time. I have seen the result of Mr. Hitler's New World Order … seventy million dead and an entire race targeted for genocide; I’ve seen Mr. Stalin's New World Order … forty three million dead. And the communist revolution in China had its own special New World Order; which enlightened the world …in excess of one hundred million people murdered.

Then there was the progressive heroine, Margaret Sanger; a true bulwark and champion of American liberalism and founder of Planned Parenthood. Only problem is, she was a eugenicist, who believed that blacks should be eliminated because they were "breeding and swarming like rats in the streets." Today while blacks make up only 13% of the population, black children account for one-third of all abortions. While 40 million children have been killed in the womb, over 13 million of them have been black children. If any other nation on earth were to slaughter 13 million black children, we would be screaming genocide and sending in UN troops. Today, we give them government money to carry out this genocidal initiative championed by the left.

Then there is good liberal, Woodrow Wilson, another hero of you folks on the left. Only problem is, Wilson was open about his hatred for America. He too was a eugenicist, who thought blacks inferior. In fact, he re-segregated government workers, government offices, and the military.

Robert Byrd, the conscience of the Democratic Party and a former KKK leader, who on Fox News national broadcast, threw around the "N" word, like it was nothing. This, by the way, was not a baited interview. I saw the interview live and the tossing around of the "White N" and "Black N" phrases were in no way related to the conversation. The passages were a complete non-sequitur. What does that tell us about his hidden thoughts?

Might I suggest you, and the rest of the progressive lemmings, go meet some Tea Party folks before you stereotype them as “an assemblage of doltish hillbillies.” You will find that most are above average in intelligence, above average in education, and from all walks of life: independent business people, plumbers, physicists, educators, students, tradesmen, white collar workers, stay-at-home wives, career women, preachers and politicians. They are the face of America. They are not the bearded Marxists, so representative of you pseudo-intellectual elite, who are, in jolting candor, really the intellectually effete.

History has shown your ideology, while sounding high tone, is in fact tone deaf to life beyond the walls of the self-induced delusion of your bookish ivory towers, which are, in reality, an intellectual ghetto in which you subsist.

Socialism has never, and will never, worked. It is a moribund philosophy, with a built in death mechanism. Any political philosophy, which has as the basis of success taking by force, or force of law from one to reward the ineptitude or sloth of another, is doomed to fail. Driving the lazy, inept, or duplicitous to the trough, while telling them they deserve a place at that trough, is courting both moral and financial exhaustion. At some point there will be so many people at the trough that there is no one left to fill the trough. At some point you run out of other people's money. When the goal of socialism is finally achieved, and the stated goal of economic equality is achieved, history shows us that the equality created is intellectual, moral, and economic bankruptcy.

Please do us all a favor. Before you destroy our medical system, talk to the Brits, who are walking away from socialized medicine. They realize it is a complete failure. Study Romney care: it is bankrupting the state of Massachusetts. Before government decided to step in and treat us like we were helpless idiots, who couldn't survive without them, each of us, and all of us, took care of our own families, took care of our elderly, took care of the poor among us, and shunned the professional dead beats. Because we were personally involved, we knew that the neighbor down the road was a hard worker, who was just having a hard time, and we, as individuals, lent a helping hand.

Conversely, the guy living across the street, well, he was a drunk and lazy. He chose to pursue happiness in his way ... the bottle and sloth. He is free to pursue that happiness. And when he fails, and his relatives have to adopt his children, take care of his wife, and he is alone in his whiskey clouded world, he will have accomplished his pursuit. Perhaps then, and only then, can he make a choice to pursue happiness in another way.

In other words, those of us in the Tea Party are not a bunch of toothless, ignorant rubes, needing your beneficent guidance to make it through the day. We are not asking you to provide for us, think for us, help us, and certainly, don't try to control us, tax us, or attempt to live our lives for us. What we really need from all of you good, caring liberals on the left, is to be "left" alone.

But, because we understand that you are still concerned about the poor and the downtrodden, I have come up with what might be the perfect plan. About 15% of the population is living below the poverty line. By the way, this is the same number of poor we had at the start of the great society programs under Lyndon Johnson.

There are about 20% of Americans who admit to being liberals. For you guilt-ridden leftists, we need to create a special form, from the government, which will provide this service for all of you. On the form you will swear that you are a good liberal, concerned about the poor and downtrodden, and that you believe that these people should be taken care of by their fellow Americans. On the form you will have the opportunity to either have enough money taken from your paycheck every payday to support a poor person, or, if you prefer, government workers can actually deliver to your house a poor person. From that point on, you will be responsible for their care, feeding, hygiene, behavior, and outcome.

This takes all the cold bureaucratic treatment out of the equation and provides a one-on-one loving contact with your very own poor person, drunk, drug addict, or societal malcontent. It's akin to having a living Chia pet. Water them with your personal care, love, and concern, and watch them grow.

Similar programs could be conducted for illegal aliens. Just like the girl scouts, who ask, “How many boxes of cookies do you want this year?” the government can ask, “How many illegals will you take this year, Mr. Liberal? As you know, we now have 20 million of them, and only you can help us reach our goal of placing every one of them in their very own home!”

We can give this program high sounding name like, “The Human Chia-nome Project,” and each of you can save humanity … one person at a time.

Meanwhile, the rest of us, thanks to your personal involvement, can go to Washington D.C. and state capitals, and get rid of all of those failed social programs, dollar wasting boondoggles, and worthless, feel good government incursions, that are indebting our children to the third and fourth generations.

Isn't it amazing how much we can accomplish when we really sit down and communicate? Just look how angry my response to your intellectual flotsam was at the beginning of this response, and how conciliatory it is now. I really feel like we've connected on a spiritual level ... like we've brought light to your darkness.

I know I speak for all us when I say, “Thank you.”

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you are willing to put your empty-headed utopian dreams into practice. And just in case all of this doesn't go just exactly as planned, we'll just go ahead and build that wall down there on the border, make plans with Mexico to help their economy, so that they can support their own people, and tend to the unseating of the dogs inhabiting the seats of power in D.C., the governor's chairs in all of the states, and the leftist incompetents in counties and towns across America. Maybe we should do what we can to begin once again teaching our history, demanding constitutional government, working and contributing to campaigns that remove the corrupt and vulgar, thereby effectuating their replacement with the honorable and forthright.

When Global Warming Fails - Lizards Die ... End The Hate!

2010-12-19T13:19:00.000-08:00

By: Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker

About a year ago there was a news story about how the iguanas were dropping out of the trees in Florida, and so Jake jotted out this quick, sick and twisted humor piece. Maybe you will still get a laugh out of it ... maybe NOT!

When Global Warming Fails - Lizards Die: Those on the left say they care … but do they really? Their efforts have paid off and now the earth is cooling. As the earth cools temperatures get too cool for the iguanas and they become paralyzed and fall. But who cares for the Iguanas? End the Hate!

Cruelly, without recourse or warning ,these peaceful iguanas get cold and are falling from trees, limbs, plants, sides of houses and everywhere imaginable because of evil Americans and their efforts to end global warming. These iguanas are not native to the U.S.

They are undocumented iguanas, which means, they know the bitter sting of leaving their homeland, often in the dead of night, with nothing more than the scales on their back. And for what? So tourists will have a pet to show off at home?

But when they become too big or start doing iguana stuff ... all they hear is the cruel rushing of water as they are flushed down the toilet, or the rushing of air as they are chucked over the back fence.

It's time to stop the madness! As a nation we can do better ... we must do better. We must end the horror of these poor, forgotten and falling iguanas. It is time to ...

End the Hate!

All creatures deserve the right of decent medical care. So it's time. Today I am asking congress to provide $800 million dollars to save the iguana and increase global warming so that these poor iguanas may live.

Using undocumented workers in the south Florida area and local volunteers, I believe we can build nets to break the fall of these kidnapped and abused creatures.

Further, by utilizing thousands of local agencies, volunteers, and more undocumented workers, along with unemployed hookers (who can't find johns because of the cold), we can build thousands of little hammocks for the iguanas so when they awaken, they will know the comfort that our medical system should provide for all Americans ... even undocumented iguanas.

Don't be a hater - help us end the madness of falling iguanas - and - if you see someone actually tipping an iguana off his perch, please report that person to the nearest ASPCA office.

Iguana terror can be stopped ... but only if we end the hate.

To Donate

CALL: 1 (800) UGLY LIZARD

This message is brought to you by the ATSIB - Americans to Stop Iguana Abuse.

P.S. - This is NOT meant to be taken seriously, we checked 800-ugly-lizard and the number is a working number. Please do not call this number. These poor folks actually got calls the last time we sent out this nonsense.

The Ant & The Contact Lens - A True Story

2010-12-19T13:06:00.000-08:00

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. 'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.'

She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there.

She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.'

She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.'

Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?'

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!

The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, 'Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.'

I think it would do all of us some good to say, 'God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will.'

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him... I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

If you love GOD and all the marvelous things He has done for you, send this to as many people you know.

Tis the season to be hustled, falalalalalalalala ... or ... the Greatest Christmas Ever!

2010-12-19T13:03:00.000-08:00

By: Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker

Beckah was silent as they pulled away from the family's Christmas party. She had smiled and joked with family and friends, but her friend Linda, being the observant and wise sage she was, called Beckah aside and asked her why she wasn't eating. Beckah, responding like a brave soldier, said she was just a little under the weather. She knew that if she said anything that all, the frustration, fear, anger, and panic might came rolling out in one great weeping gush of tears, rage, sobbing, and convulsing panic.

She and her husband Jack had both been out of work for four months. The money was gone, the electric bill due, and the car payment was behind. They had sold everything they could, hocked jewelry, and dropped every unnecessary services they could. Jack had worked every odd job he can find, but it wasn't enough. It barely kept food on the table. By this time next month, the house would be in foreclosure, and in three months they would be out on the street. They had no family to move in with, no prospects, no jobs on the horizon, and the economy was still looking very grim. Meanwhile, government was still spending on everything but the economy. It was hopeless absolutely hopeless.

Finally home, Beckah just wanted to collapse. She went to her room drew a warm bath, sunk down in the tub, and cried. For the first time in years Beckah found herself praying ... really praying; the kind of praying she did when she first became a Christian. And while no jobs magically appeared on the horizon, after a good cry and a lot of prayer, there was a tiny speck of peace just knowing that she could still talk to God.

Ho, Ho, Ho! Tis the season to be hustled falalalalalalalala. Normally, this is the time of the year when everybody is standing around with their hands outstretched, from the department stores to the charities. Everybody is reminding you of all you deserve, all you should be thankful for, and "give."

Well, they are half right, that is, if your electricity isn't in danger of being turned off, your house payment has been made, and you have a job to go to every morning. If this is the current situation in which you find yourself, then you are indeed blessed because presently there are about 30 million of our fellow Americans who don't have anywhere to go when they wake up in the morning.

No! I am not going to hustle you for even one dime. I am not going to tell you to give to me, or this worthy charity, or that worthy charity. There are some great charities out there, but you should decide where your money goes. As for me ... I'm going to do something different this year. I'm going directly to the source of the need and cutting out the middle man.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to give to the Salvation Army and Wounded Warriors, but this year I am going to do something different. According to the National Retail Federation Americans spent $504 billion in 2009 during the Christmas holidays. Chances are that number will be about the same this year.

So this year I'm not going to go to Macy's, or Dillard's, or Radio Shack, or Penny's, or Sears, or any of the other stores for my Christmas shopping. This year I am going to wrap presents and give them to my family and friends. And inside those presents will be the story of a family that we helped in their name. The present might read like this:

Bob and Cathy, instead of a bottle of wine this year, please accept our gift of a Christmas meal for a mom and her three kids whose husband is serving in Afghanistan. She is "living" on about $18,000 per year. My gift to you is a gift to them. Knowing you as I do, I know you will be thrilled with this present.

To Family: As you open this present, I wanted you to know that Katie and I talked about it and decided this year that we were going to do things a little different. We knew some friends that were unemployed. They had no money, no hope, and nowhere to turn.

Because of their dire circumstances, this year we've decided to spend our entire Christmas budget on two families. So, let me tell you what our family got you for Christmas. We got you payments for family one. There was a shiny new house payment for Jack. And for Beckah, we lavished her with two car payments, and for the kids we got the very latest in utility payments so they could watch their television, and a full blown Christmas dinner. And here's the best part ... no assembly required.

And for our kids, we got Don and Cindy caught up on their house payment, paid the cell phone bill, in case an employer called someone could answer, and as a stocking stuffer we made them a wonderful Christmas dinner. Hope that all of this fits under the tree. I'll tell you, Katie and I have gotten pretty good at shopping because every one of these presents fits perfectly. There was not one exchange of any gift we got this year. They were all just the right size.

Now that's Christmas. Can you imagine if everyone, all three hundred plus million of us, would just take 25% of our Christmas spending and help an unemployed family what that would mean to them and to the economy? It would mean a $125 billion stimulus to the economy without spending one cent of tax money.

And churches, you can help too. With all the special offerings taken this time of year, and all the extra money you bring in, why not adopt a few families this year? You can't help everybody, so why not really help a few. But be careful, pick out only families that are worthy of such a blessing. Make sure the parents are good role models for their kids, that they are just down with the economy, and not "professionally" unemployed.

Come on businesses ... you can help. How about you tradesmen? This Christmas why not give the gift of a patched roof, or fixed plumbing, or a replaced window for a worthy family in your area?

And you department stores ... how about a free appliance for a needy family? And car dealers ... we haven't forgotten about you! Do you know what the gift of a good running car would mean for a young family struggling to get to the new job they finally found after 18-24 months of endless job interviews? It would mean the world to them.
Listen, you don't have to do the job alone. There are 340 million of us out here. This won't solve all of our problems. Long term we need to fix the economy with a constitutional budget, free enterprise, and honest dollars, but in the meanwhile, this will help.
It will help the people you share with; it will help the economy; it will help ease the family's burden; and, more than anything, it will help you. Those of us who still have somewhere to go when we wake up in the morning, it will help us remember how blessed we really are. It will help us remember who we are as a people. It will help us remember what America and Americans are really all about.

My countrymen, my friends, my fellow patriots, you are needed now more than ever to help us pull this country together. I know it is Christmas and nobody wants Mr. Scrooge lurking about casting humbug over their holiday cheer. However, I believe that we are under attack in so many ways that there is little hope of coming through this situation whole.

George Soros and his fellow traitors, both in and out of government, are attacking our monetary system and have involved the Chinese in their seditious plot. The dollar collapse may be inescapable. The dark heart of militant Islam has set its sights on America. The world is spinning madly out of control and there is little we can do about it. The system is about to reset. When it does, one of two systems will arise from the ashes of that ruin. It will either be the cold, hard, New World Order of an international oligarchy of thugs and tyrants, or ...

You and I will have laid the ground for rebuilding the American community again on those first principles, which include all of us caring and sharing with the rest of our family, friends and neighbors; not as a commune, but as individuals who care about each other and giving others a helping hand. This is not about government programs, this is about human kindness.

This year I hope you will consider the gift of Americans helping Americans. Nobody needs to know the family's name you help. For that matter, nobody even needs to know what you did unless you want to tell them. But by your kindness you may be the only lifeline to the desperate household of a neighbor or family member in our scared nation, and the only lifeline back to the America we once knew. We don't need government to take care of us. All we need is We ... us to take care of the U.S.
Remember ... there was no welfare office when Mary and Joseph showed up in Bethlehem. She did not seek free medical care from the government. Nor did she kill her baby because it was inconvenient. She brought into a world, darkened with sin and sadness, the light of all mankind.

This was prophesied 700 years before the birth of the Messiah back in the book of Isaiah.

Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7: Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
And Luke says in his classic Christmas description in Luke 2:
^1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
^2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
^3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
^4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
^5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
^6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
^7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
^8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
^9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
^10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ^11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
^12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
^13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
^14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
^15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
^16. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
^17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
¹⁸And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
¹⁹But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

This may not be, and, in fact, probably is not, the time of the real birth of the Savior, but this is when we celebrate His birth as a nation, so let's make the best of it. Let us truly celebrate Christmas with those around us this year with the gift of blessing others at Christmas. Really, how much stuff do you need? It's just stuff. Will it be remembered in July? Probably not. But if you make a car payment, or pay a utility bill for a struggling family, do you think that will be remembered in July? I would venture to say, that gift will be remembered twenty years from now and will be listed forever in eternity.

Let this be the year when we all say, "Bah humbug!" to advertisers, bankers, and the typical Christmas hustlers and give the gift that will be remembered in eternity, the gift of kindness ... perhaps the gift of economic survival for a military family, unemployed family, relative or friend in your life.

And while you're out running around and you stop to grab a bite to eat, look around for one of our brothers or sisters in arms, and quietly buy their meal. You don't have to tell them or say a word, just pay quietly and I guarantee you will feel more Christmas in that moment than in ten hours of shopping.

Finally, this year give yourself the greatest gift of all. Gather your family together round a crackling fire, bring out the hot chocolate sing a few Christmas songs, and as a family on your knees thank God that you are together, safe, warm, blessed beyond anything most of the world could ever comprehend. Build memories, faith and love amongst yourselves. None of us knows how many more of these Christmas' we will have.

So ... what will it be this year ... the usual Christmas Hustle or ...

The Greatest Christmas Ever?

We Just Don't Need All That "Damned" Cussing

2010-12-19T12:59:00.000-08:00

By Dr. Jeffrey "Jake" Baker
December 17, 2010
I have to tell you, I love Glenn Beck. His creative energy is undoubtedly the envy of "talkers" everywhere. He is a machine - he just never quits.
So, it was with great anticipation that I tuned in to watch his show on the 15th of December to hear him live from Wilmington, Ohio. The first show was really good. It was touching to see him offer the gift of hearing to that little boy. Wow, what a moment. To say I was moved would be an understatement.
Unfortunately, he was unable to broadcast the second show. Apparently, there were technical problems that killed the live stream to Insider Extreme members. No problem. I'll look at it on demand tomorrow, which is what their posting said would happen. However, the technical Grench stole that as well and the stream was delayed again. But then we heard the news from the Judge who was guest hosting for Glenn that the show would be aired Friday night. Great, I'll catch it then.
As Friday night rolled around we gathered around the TV to watch Glenn. The program was ok. It was not the "home run" the first live hour had been, but that is not the purpose of this opine. I am writing because I was disappointed with Glenn's language. I had to wonder where all that cussing came from.
After all, when something is billed as a Christmas show, one has a responsibility to make sure that the program and its language is appropriate for all ages. I know Glenn tries really hard to both share information and entertain the crowd. But to his credit, Glenn had already done his radio program, signed books, greeted people for hours, prepped his staff, done the first hour live, and then came out to a hot theater in a heavy Santa suit. He was probably exhausted, the rhythm just wasn't there, and old habits just appeared. That being said, I still believe that "cussin up a bluestreak" isn't the appropriate.
But again, to put this in perspective, Glenn Beck is probably the hardest working, most creative person in media. I enjoy Glenn Beck and will continue to enjoy his programs as much as ever.
And perhaps this is a good reminder to all of us that none of us is perfect save One. And maybe this is the perfect time of year to remember that. Maybe this is also the perfect time to remember that while Glenn is pretty good at telling us what is about to happen next, I know of another source that is even better than Glenn ... the Bible. Want to know just how good it is? Go to Isaiah, Chapter nine, beginning at verse six and continue through verse seven:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Seven hundred years before the birth of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah said that blessed event would come to pass. He prophesied that this Messiah would be from the house and lineage of David and that he would establish His justice forever. Isaiah said that the “zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
So while we enjoy and are informed and animated by Glenn's passion for the truth, we need to remember who we are, and whose we are; and that when it is all said and done, there is only one Truth. May the zeal of the LORD bring to pass in you not just the knowledge of the Savior's birth, but even in these difficult and turbulent times, the peace that comes with the understanding that soon righteous government will return to this earth.
It is indeed overwhelming to think that Yeshua, the Creator of all things would humble Himself to the birth of a peasant, that we might be kings and priests forever with Him; and that from that rude, cold, and dark manger the world would find life, light and finally peace that passes all understanding that brings joyous hope to an otherwise sad and broken humanity.
How great is our salvation … How great is our God … How sure is the hope of those whose God is the Lord!
