Dear Readers:

2005 was a year that will never be forgotton. Stories emerged that i hope will never happen again. From the very beginning, 2005 was a bad start. The Terri Schiavo coverage went on for days before she wrongfully finally died of starvation. Then near the end of the year were the unforgettable hurricanes Katrina and Rita that devastated Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Let’s not forget all of the political agendas derived by the American left during these hard time and not to mention the war on Christmas.

I feel that 2006 may be a better year and it will be up to you and I to make it a better year and a better world to live in. We are an influence to others no matter if we want to be or not. People view us by the way that we act and speak and to some, we may be the only Bible they will ever see. I have heard this saying many times by a former pastor’s son, but it is true. We are to set the example for others. If we expect change in this world we have to first change ourselves in order to reflect on others. Keep that in mind, pray to God everyday, read your Bible, and as Hulk Hogan says, “eat your veggies” and God will see to it that we are taken care of.

Remember that God said he would give us everything we need, not everything we want. We are also to attend to the needs of others. After Katrina was over, we witnessed an outpouring of love and affection by people of faith in America. Churches opened their doors to people who were hungry and homeless. This in itself led to salvation for some. It goes to show that a little kindness goes a long way. if we keep that in mind ad show that kindness and reflect positively on others, then 2006 may well be a very good year for everyone.

Organized Crime in the labor Market

IWW - Organized Crime in the Labor Market

By Thomas E. Brewton

Liberals have long sentimentalized the IWW as a rollicking, happy-go-lucky
bunch who merely bargained for justice in the form of better wages and working
conditions.  In fact, however, the IWW was nothing more than labor gangsterism,
aimed officially at destroying our Constitutional government.

-------------------

For a couple of reasons it’s useful to examine the policies and tactics of the
IWW, a labor organization from the first half of the 20th century:

First, the policies espoused by the IWW still are part of the doctrine that
finds favor with today’s liberal-Progressives.  John Steinbeck’s novels, for
instance, depict IWW members, anarchists, and socialists as heroes struggling
against the criminality of capitalism.  It’s an interesting coincidence that in
the movie version of Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath” the workman hero was played
by Henry Fonda, the father of Hanoi Jane Fonda.

Second, the IWW set the pattern for the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the CIO,
the mass industrial union organized by Communist Party members Victor and
Walter Reuther. Their confrontational tactics, modeled on those of the IWW,
were actively supported in the 1930s by Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and
still by liberal-Progressives on both sides of the political aisle.  In
retrospect, the excesses of industrial unionism amounted to eating their seed
corn.  Unsustainably high labor costs imposed by union tactics since the 1930s
threaten bankruptcies today at General Motors and Ford.  The IWW pattern of
militancy temporarily improved the status of union members, but it was at the
expense of today’s workers, who must face the cold forces of economic reality
from the rest of the world.

Third, the avowed aims of the IWW to take over the government and reshape it into a Soviet people’s republic has to a dangerous extent been realized by today’s non-industrial unions, the teachers and government workers unions.  In that regard, see Labor Unions: Socialism’s Shock Troops and the City Journal article by Steven Malanga, The Real Engine of Blue America.

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), known also as the Wobblies, came
into existence in 1905, because its founders believed that other labor unions
were not sufficiently radical.  Initially there was close cooperation between
the Socialist Party and the IWW.  Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist Party candidate
for President, spoke at the original organizational meeting. But even the
Socialists were too tame for the IWW.

In 1908, the preamble to the IWW constitution was amended to read:
“The working class and the employing class have nothing in common.  There can
be no peace as long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working
people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things
of life.

“Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world
organize as a class, take possession of the earth and the machinery of
production, and abolish the wage system.....

“It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. 
The army of production must be organized, not only for the everyday struggle
with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have
been overthrown.  By organizing industrially, we are forming the structure of
the new society within the shell of the old.”

Methods to be used for overthrowing the existing Constitutional government were
described in an IWW pamphlet written by Vincent St. John:

“As a revolutionary organization the Industrial Workers of the World aims to
use any and all tactics that will get the results sought with the least
expenditure of time and energy.  The tactics are determined solely by the power
of the organization to make good in their use.  The question of ‘right’ and
‘wrong’ does not concern us.…

“Where strikes are used, it aims to paralyze all branches of the industry
involved.… Failing to force concessions from the employers by the strike,
work is resumed and ‘sabotage’ is used to force the employers to concede the
demands of the workers..… Interference by the government is resented by open
violation of government orders, going to jail en masse, causing expense to the
taxpayers, which is but another name for the employing class.  In short the I.W.
W. advocates the use of ‘militant direct action’ to the full extent of our
powers to make good.”

Sabotage was defined by other writers as slowing production rates, deliberately
turning out substandard products, breaking machines, spoiling products, and
generally disrupting a factory.

Such amoral tactics are essentially the same approach employed by the Mafia,
with the exception that the Mafia just wants your money, but has no designs to
seize revolutionary control of the United States government.

Grover H. Perry amplified the foregoing in “The Revolutionary I.W.W.” published
by the IWW Publishing Bureau:

“.… We are going to do away with capitalism by taking possession of the land
and the machinery of production.  We don’t intend to buy them, either.  The
capitalist class took them because it had the power to control the muscle and
brain of the working class in industry.  Organized, we, the working class, will
have the power.  With that power we will take back that which has been stolen
from us.  We will demand more and more wages from our employers.  We will
demand and enforce shorter and shorter hours.  As we gain these demands we are
diminishing the profits of the bosses.  We are taking away his power.  We are
gaining that power for ourselves...… The Industrial Workers of the World are
laying the foundation of a new government.  This government will have for it
legislative halls the mills, the workshops, and factories.  It legislators will
be the men in the mills, the workshops, and factories.  Its enactments will be
those pertaining to the welfare of the workers..… Classes will disappear, and
in their place will be only useful members of society Ð the workers.”

To capitalize on the American public’s initially favorable impression of the
Russian revolution, the I.W.W. claimed to be the sole representatives in the
United States of those principles and tactics which had proved so successful in
Russia.

In an article in the March 1919 issue of “One Big Union Monthly,” John Gabriel
Saltis wrote: “The I.W.W. contains the identical potentialities of the
Soviet… The I.W.W. is the American soviet.”

In part, this posting is in response to critical emails from Alan Johnstone of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Jon Bekken, Editor, “The Industrial Worker,” Industrial Workers of the World.  Both objected to my passing mention of the IWW in Truth, in which, seeking to illuminate the pseudo-Christianity of the early 20th century Social Gospel, I wrote:  “[Dr. Harry F. Ward of Union Theological Seminary in New York ] also was chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which actively defended the terrorist tactics of the radical IWW labor organization, whose members murdered more than a dozen employees and executives of industrial companies they sought to intimidate with demands for labor seizure of management control.”

Mr. Bekken’s email stated “No historian of the IWW has ever found that the
union engaged in terrorist tactics. A number of IWW members have been tried on
murder charges, it is true, though none were ever charged with killing
“executives.” In most cases these were victims of employer lynch mobs who were
charged with defending themselves against their attackers. In one case, the
owner of a small restaurant was killed when he brandished a gun against a
picketing IWW member, threatening to kill him. There is of course the case of
Joe Hill, now universally acknowledged to have been a frame-up.

“Any fair-minded student of history must conclude that it has been the IWW that
was the victim of terrorism, not the other way around. It is I think telling
that your essay cites not a single verifiable fact in support of its wild
smear.”

My response is that, no doubt, no IWW historian ever has found anything to
criticize about the IWW.  But the IWW’s own words, quoted above, make
ridiculous Mr. Bekken’s assertion that the IWW never engaged in terrorist
tactics.

A few examples to the contrary:

--Idaho’s Governor from 1896 to 1900, Frank Steunenberg, adhering to state law,
used the militia to defeat a strike against the Bunker Hill Mines Company. 
Subsequently he was killed by a bomb planted at his home.  IWW leader William
“Big Bill” Haywood was indicted and tried for conspiracy to murder, but, owing
to the extreme difficulty in proving such conspiracy cases, he was acquitted.

The general understanding, nonetheless, was that the assassination was by an
IWW member in retaliation for Governor Steunenberg’s strike-breaking, because
of the “eye for an eye” policy avowed by the IWW.

-- For example, in 1909 during the IWW strike against the Pressed Steel Car
Company of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, IWW leaders warned the Pennsylvania
state constabulary that for every IWW man injured or killed one of the
constabulary members would be murdered.  The IWW delivered on that threat by
murdering half a dozen members of the state constabulary.

--In 1916, in Everett, Washington, IWW members organized a strike in the lumber-
shipping port activities.  The local sheriff, seeking to disband the strikers
in accordance with existing law, ran into the same violent street tactics by
armed IWW members that had occurred in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.  In the
armed assault by the IWW a deputy sheriff and a lumber company official were
murdered and 24 non-union members were wounded.

--In 1914 Salt Lake City former policeman John Morrison and his son Arling were
shot dead by gunmen as they were closing their small grocery store for the
night.  Before being shot to death, Arling managed to fire the store’s pistol
at the intruders.

A younger son, who was in the rear of the store when the gunmen burst into the
store, heard one of them shout, “We’ve got you now.” It was noted in the
subsequent trial that Morrison had quit the police force because of threats
from IWW members whose activities he had confronted while enforcing the law. 

An hour and a half after the murders, Dr. Frank McHugh was awakened at his home
by IWW member Joe Hill, who had a gunshot wound in his chest.  As he was being
treated, a revolver slipped from his pocket to the floor.  Hearing about the
Morrison murders the next day, Dr. McHugh alerted the police.  Joe Hill was
arrested, convicted, and executed for the murders.

The IWW, of course, argues that every charge against its members was a frame-up
and that its members were all innocent victims.  Looking at the record,
however, and the exact congruence with the IWW’s proclaimed policy of using any
available force, without regard to right or wrong, to bring capitalism to its
knees, it’s difficult to accept that characterization.

The Terri Schiavo Struggle Continues ...

Terri Schiavo - The Most Unforgettable News Story of 2005

By

Rob Hood

I thought long and hard about the events that took place over the course of 2005. There were some very good things that happened this year and some very tragic ones as well. Among the top stories covered this year was the war in Iraq, the Michael Jackson trial, Louis Farrakhan’s million man March as covered by the mainstream media, and other stories as well that centered on the White House suspected scandals that either lead to or may lead to indictments.

I nominated the Terri Schiavo case as the most unforgettable story of the year. While talk radio hosts like Bill Bennett, Sean Hannity, and others gave this story full coverage for almost two weeks, the mainstream media took very little notice at all. Sure they reported on it but only for about five to ten minutes at the end of the regularly scheduled newscast. They treated it like it was nothing.

This was a case that deserved further investigation and surely should have required the judge involved to be fired from his position on the bench and let the feds intervene on an unsolved case. This judge was clearly involved if not partly responsible for the death of Terri Schiavo. He would not even let the case be re-investigated. He would not even open his mind to the idea. What kind of sick judge was this? I heard he was even banned from his church in Florida which was good enough for him. He should have been banned from the judicial bench altogether.

This was a plain and simple case of murder. Terri Schiavo knew everything that was going on and could not express it into words because her husband refused to let her go through physical therapy and the hospital was just as responsible. Just take a look at the testimony from different nurses who would take care of her. They knew the situation and were threatened if they went forward with their testimony. That in itself is something the administration should have been fired and imprisoned over. How do we who supported the Schiavo family find the defendants (murderers)? GUILTY with a capital G! They got away with murder plain and simple. Why Governor Jeb Bush did not authorize deadly force from National Guard troops to intervene I will never know. He certainly had the authority and most certainly had the capability, the support, and the reason for doing so. Some may think that this would have been a drastic measure but what else can be done when the judge, the hospital, and the rest of leftist America is shouting death to Terri like they are an American version of HAMAS? The only logical thing to do is take the bull by the horns and get the job done by any means that it takes to do it.

This was indeed the most unforgettable story of 2005 and I have vowed to bring it up on March 30 of every year until the day I die to commemorate a great and innocent American life that was taken for selfish and silly if not evil reasons.  God bless the Schiavo family and may they find peace from their loss.

Helping Hoawrd

The following is from a email that I recieved from the Howard Kaloogian campaign and I would like to share its contents to let you know what is going on in the world of politics:

Friends:

As you know, there is an extremely important high-profile campaign going on to
fill a vacant seat in Congress (the seat that had been held by Republican Randy
“Duke” Cunningham, who recently resigned).

This is a national battle between not just the Republicans and Democrats but
between those who believe in pursuing a path of victory in the war on terrorism
and those who believe America should surrender and apologize to those we’ve
somehow offended.

It has just now been reported that the very liberal, anti-war Democrat
candidate for this seat, Francine Busby, has now collected more than $500,000 -
with much of the money coming from Democrat operatives from around the
country.

Democrat National Committee Chairman, Howard Dean, and House Democrat Leader,
Nancy Pelosi, have both steered money into this campaign and anti-war activists
from around the nation are now pouring money into Busby’s campaign.  They want
to embarrass Republicans, President George W. Bush, and they want to weaken the
war effort by turning a seat that had been held by a celebrated Air Force
veteran (Cunningham) into one held by a strident opponent of Operation Iraqi
Freedom.

When I agreed to enter the race to provide a pro-American, pro-troop,
Republican alternative to Democrat Busby, I promised I would work hard to
counter every effort by the anti-war crowd and Democrat activists who would be
fighting for this seat.

Thus far I’ve done that.  But, now, I need to work harder - and with your help
I need to narrow the gap between our campaign fundraising and the $500,000 that
the Busby campaign has collected.

I have 36 hours until the campaign reporting period ends for this quarter.  We
must get as close as possible to anti-war candidate Busby’s $500,000 in
campaign funds raised.  We cannot surrender and give up - for these are the

tactics of the ‘cut and run’ crowd.

We need at least 100 supporters to contribute $120 or more to help us narrow
the gap.  And we have only 36 hours to do so.

If you can only contribute $30, or $60 - or even less, you would have my
deepest gratitude.

And if enough of you can contribute $500, $1,000 or $2,100 (the maximum allowed
by law per individual - $4,200 per married couple) then I know we will have the
funding it takes to win this election.

You can contribute online at our campaign website:

http://www.KaloogianForCongress.com

Thank you so very much for your support.

Graciously yours,

Howard Kaloogian

Border Security Not so secure

Mexicans Hire Bush Advisor to Stop US Border, Illegal Immigration Reforms

December 30, 2005 05:30 PM EST

by Nathan Tabor and Jim Kouri -

In a move that has many proponents of tough US border security and illegal immigration reforms scratching their heads in puzzlement, Mexican President Vincente Fox recently retained the services of a well-known Republican strategist to help stop the rising tide of public outcry over poor border security and rampant illegal immigration.

President Fox reportedly rehired the public relations man and GOP political consultant who is credited with helping Fox win the presidency in 2000. Fox wants Rob Allyn to curtail what he perceives as a growing anti-immigration political juggernaut, especially when it comes to illegal aliens from Mexico.

When the House of Representatives passed a key bill that would provide an additional 700 miles of border fencing on the US-Mexican border, and would make illegally entering the US a felony, Fox denounced the measure as shameful. His foreign minister called it stupid and underhanded.

The Mexican government’s comments about US policy appears to have backfired, with many Americans demanding Mexico butt out of American politics and policy.

“Most Americans don’t buy the argument about illegals helping the US economy. Illegal workers depress wages, deplete available social and healthcare services, and creates crime problems,” says homeland security expert Sid Francis.

“If the Mexicans want sympathy from US citizens, calling them stupid and underhanded isn’t going to do it.”

The immigration bill, scheduled for February in the US Senate, falls short of giving President Bush and President Fox their desired “guest worker” program that will benefit Mexicans almost exclusively.

Fox, who will not seek reelection in 2006, does wish to leave a legacy that provides easier access to the United States, so he’s turned to a GOP insider to help him. The conventional wisdom is that the Republican Party is tougher on national security and homeland security, so they are the leaders to whom he must plead his cause.

So Fox called on GOP strategist Rob Allyn, the man who assisted George W. Bush in beating Governor Ann Richards for the State House in Texas. When Vincente Fox, then governor of Guanajuato state, began his campaign for the Mexican presidency, Allyn joined Fox’s presidential campaign, with the stipulation that Allyn’s role remain secret.

According to the Los Angeles Times, for three years, Allyn worked clandestinely, helping craft Fox’s message of change, as well as his TV commercials, his polling and his wardrobe. Allyn made dozens of trips to Mexico, traveling under one of three pseudonyms.

After the July election, Allyn told the Dallas Morning News he hid his work for Fox because he didn’t want to be a political liability. Mexicans are sensitive to foreign interference, especially involving the United States.

Some Beltway insiders believe that Allyn, who also worked on the Bush presidential campaigns, may have been urged to help Vincente Fox with immigration public relations work by the White House.

According to Rob Allyn, he will attempt to sway public opinion away from tougher border security measures and increased penalties for surreptitiously entering the US. His strategy is likely intended to change the debate regarding illegal immigration. Calls for tighter illegal immigration measures are growing louder in the United States as Mexican and Central American workers multiply yearly.

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez, whose vitriolic statements have made him very unpopular with conservative Republicans, said Allyn’s message should be that Mexicans have sunk roots deep in their US neighborhoods and that they contribute more through their work, taxes and families than they take away in public services. However, studies conducted by several non-profit organizations casts doubt on that argument.

Going Back to our roots in 2006

2006:  A Year to Get Back to the Republican Party’s Roots

By Nathan Tabor

Now that 2005 is fading into history, the time is right for the Republican Party to make its New Year’s resolutions for 2006.  While the national news media may be calling upon the GOP to support an immediate pullout from Iraq and a relaxation to its staunch opposition to nationalized health care, it’s high time for the party of Lincoln to return to its roots. In fact, Republicans have an opportunity to change the course of history—but they can only do it if they go back to conservatism’s core beliefs.  Here’s a list of the resolutions GOP leaders should be making for 2006:

Spotlight the plight of the unborn—and do what it takes to protect them.  Some Republicans have completely abandoned unborn Americans.  Others claim to be pro-life, but don’t give that philosophy life through their actions.  The war on the unborn has taken 46.5 million American lives since 1973, when the initial assault was launched with Roe versus Wade, the mind-numbing U.S. Supreme Court ruling which legalized abortion.  It’s time for Republican leaders to take a strong stand to protect children within the womb.  National public opinion polls have consistently shown that a majority of Americans want limits on abortion.  Therefore, Republicans need to get past the media misconception that most voters support abortion on demand.  By declaring their intention to protect unborn children—whatever it takes—Republicans have an opportunity to radically improve the quality of life in the U.S. 

Protect the sanctity of marriage.  It should be no surprise that former Democratic President Bill Clinton is making headlines by sending a video of congratulations to singer Elton John for his “marriage” to his homosexual lover.  The Democratic Party is, quite simply, the party of gay marriage.  Given this fact of modern political life, the GOP is in the perfect position to protect the sanctity of marriage.  Republican leaders must spearhead initiatives to ban marriage between homosexuals.  Dr. Timothy J. Dailey of the Family Research Council has written, “By their own admission, gay activists are not simply interested in making it possible for homosexuals and lesbians to partake of conventional married life. Rather, they aim to change the essential character of marriage, removing precisely the aspects of fidelity and chastity that promote stability in the relationship and the home.” The push for gay marriage is, at its core, an attack on the traditional family.  For the sake of our children and our children’s children, the Republican Party must take concrete action to put a stop to gay marriage.

Make government smaller.  Conservative icon Ronald Reagan declared an end to big government in the 1980s, but it appears that some Republicans in the 21st century want to bring back big government in a big way.  President George W. Bush has issued a goal of halving the federal deficit by 2009.  If Republicans in Congress do what they can to achieve that goal, they would still be doing only the minimum of what’s really needed.  Big government—and the outrageous federal taxes that go with it—are a major drain on the nation’s economy, and the antithesis of good conservative money management.  As the nation’s 78 million Baby Boomers retire and begin to draw on Social Security and Medicare at the end of this decade, our budget troubles will only escalate.  The time to rein in federal spending is now—not a few years down the road.  Otherwise, we’ll be saddling our children with a debt that will threaten the financial stability of their families.

Achieving these three resolutions should be top priorities for Republicans in 2006. Otherwise, the GOP’s conservative credentials will be seriously threatened and there will be more political trouble ahead for Republicans.

The UN Wants to Do What?

By

Rob Hood

Well, I have been saying that The UN has lost what little confidence I had in it to begin with. The UN was formed primarily but not entirely as an organization designed to help keep world peace between nations and for world economic trading purposes, but has failed to be that today.

I received an email today from The Jerusalem Prayer team asking as an urgent request for people to sign a petition to ask President Bush to intervene in the UN attempt to divide Jerusalem – the Holy City for three different religions and cultures.

I, for one, stand with Israel on this and hope that the UN miserably fails to undo history and prophecy in a land that belongs to the Jews to start with. Israel belongs to the Jews, or God’s chosen people that is.

I want to share with you excerpts from the letter that I received from the Jerusalem Prayer team requesting assistance to escape the policies of the United Nations, European Union, the United States, and Russia:

“Dear Rob,

The EU, the UN, the U.S. and Russia will attempt to force Israel to divide Jerusalem.
This plan which thus far has cost Israel dearly, and cost the Palestinians nothing, does not protect Jerusalem from division; it only defers the decision on Jerusalem to the final stages of the negotiations.

The official policy of the EU states, “The EU opposes…actions aimed at changing the Palestinian character of East Jerusalem.” And, in fact, the EU has implicitly sided with the Palestinian Authority against Israel on the status of Jerusalem.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia has stated that there could be “no Middle East peace unless the eastern half of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, comes under Arab rule.”
Israel’s staunch ally, the United States, has actually never supported Israel’s biblical and historical claim to an undivided Jerusalem. The city is referred to as “disputed.”
Many of the Jewish people fear that in the rush to seal a peace deal with the Palestinians, a divided Jerusalem may not be too far in the future.

Add to this fear, the continued rantings of the new President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He recently sparked another round of international criticism when he declared that the Holocaust was a myth. This followed his pronouncement weeks earlier that Israel should be “wiped off the face of the map”, and that the State of Israel should be moved to Europe or Alaska. Iran’s continued nuclear proliferation is of great concern to the Western nations, and especially to Israel.

PLEASE SIGN our petition to President Bush today. Ask him not to continue the policies that encourage terrorist attacks against our staunchest Middle East ally, Israel.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Mike Evans “

This is indeed a plea for help. I sure want to help and if you want to help in any way, do so by contacting The Jerusalem Prayer team on their site at www.jerusalemprayerteam.org This campaign to diminish Israel has gone on since the very minute that it became a nation several hundred centuries ago and remains to be the enemy of everyone for some odd reason. Why is Israel the enemy? Dividing Jerusalem will only lead to bigger problems and more violence and a false sense of security, not peace.

The Miracles of Science?

The Prostitution of Science
By Thomas E. Brewton

When you hear the words “scientific authority,” check to be sure
your wallet is still there and hold onto it tightly.

------------------
Prostitution of science is using its good name for base purposes: 
falsifying data, and misinterpreting statistics to support a new
theory, with the objective of gaining personal fame and fortune.

Recent publicity about such debased conduct should have two
consequences: (1) people ought to become more skeptical about new
scientific pronouncements, and, as they do, (2) they ought to become
more aware that the supposedly sharp dichotomy between scientific
certainty and metaphysical inquiry is simply an illusion.

With regard to the second consequence, more in the social sciences
than in the physical sciences, atheistic liberals have characterized
their socialistic nostrums as pure thought based on materialistic
reality.  That strand of rationalism was called by Marxians
scientific socialism.  They look condescendingly upon religion,
morality, and philosophy as relics of earlier civilizations beyond
which humans have evolved to higher standards of certainty and
understanding.

To the contrary, science, in liberal-Progressive publications like
the New York Times, amounts to little more than the Fad of the
Month.  If a “scientific” thesis puts business or religion in a bad
light, it’s proclaimed on page one as truth incised in stone for all
eternity.  Wait six months or a year, however, and new studies will
contradict yesterday’s certainty.  But if the new study discredits
one of the Times’s editorial hobby horses, it will be ignored or
buried deep within the back pages.

Even a cursory review of “scientific breakthroughs” over recent
decades makes increasingly obvious that grounding one’s beliefs
exclusively in materialistic science is like building a house on
quicksand in the path of an onrushing hurricane.

An article by Brian Martin, published in the June 1992 issue of
“Prometheus” explains the tenuous nature of scientific research the
appears in the media as rock-solid, established “scientific fact.”
Mr. Martin writes:  “Ask most scientists about scientific fraud and
they will readily tell you what it is.  The most extreme cases are
obvious: manufacturing data and altering experimental results.  Then
there is plagiarism: using someone else’s text or data without
acknowledgement.  More difficult are the borderline cases: minor
fudging of data, reporting only the good results and not citing other
people’s work that should be given credit.  Because obvious fraud is
thought to be both rare and extremely serious, the normal idea is
that it warrants serious penalties.

“That is the usual picture, anyway, for public consumption. Probe a
bit more deeply into scientific activities, and you will find that
fraud is neither clear-cut nor rare....In the heads of scientists are
various half-formed ideas, long-held desires, prejudices, and the
vague recollections of articles read, seminars attended,
conversations with colleagues and discussions with collaborators.......

“One of the most common misrepresentations in scientific work is the
scientific paper itself. It presents a mythical reconstruction of
what actually happened. All of what are in retrospect mistaken ideas,
badly designed experiments and incorrect calculations are omitted. 
The paper presents the research as if it had been carefully thought
out, planned and executed according to a neat, rigorous process, for
example involving testing of a hypothesis. The misrepresentation of
the scientific paper is the most formal aspect of the
misrepresentation of science as an orderly process based on a clearly
defined method .”

With regard to the first consequence, let’s stipulate that most
scientists are not crooks.  But too many of them have uncalibrated
moral compasses, and we pay for it in ignorance and retardation of
true science, increased health risks, wasted public funds, lost jobs,
bankrupted companies that can no longer fund pensions, and new
products that never get to market for fear of litigation.

Prostitution of science runs mainly along three tracks:

1.  so-called expert scientific witnesses prepared to support any
bogus claim in court for a fee;

2.  researchers corrupted by lust for fame and fortune who falsify or
misinterpret research data;

3.  and ‘“scientists” so intent upon propagating the gospel of
secular materialism that they betray the most basic processes of
science and even work to prevent consideration of new and
contradictory evidence.

A few examples:

-- Newspapers reported within the past few days that South Korean
scientist Hwang Woo Suk allegedly falsified results of stem-cell
research once hailed as a major breakthrough.  Stem-cell research, of
course, is a matter of almost religious worshipfulness to liberal-
Progressives.

-- The Boston Globe, in its March 18, 2005 edition, reported:  “In
the worst case of scientific fakery to come to light in two decades,
a top obesity researcher who long worked at the University of Vermont
admitted yesterday that he fabricated data in 17 applications for
federal grants to make his work seem more promising, helping him win
nearly $3 million in government funding.”

-- The BBC, on June 4, 1998, reported that: “Doctors have warned that
medical researchers who fake evidence are risking lives.  A major new
report has concluded that fraud and fabrication is widespread
throughout medical research. The practice has potentially devastating
implications because doctors base treatment on published
research....The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) was set up
last year following mounting concern among editors of scientific
publications that research studies contained faked results.  It is
thought that increased pressure to achieve results to obtain scarce
funding resources has pushed many scientists into acting dishonestly. 
The COPE report cites 25 cases of scientific fraud.  In one case a[n
American] scientist who claimed to have transplanted black skin onto
a white mouse had in fact simply coloured the mouse with a felt-tip
pen.  A British Medical Association spokesman said that members of
the committee had been approached by a “phenomenal” number of people
revealing cases of fraud and misconduct, and that the problem was far
more widespread than was first thought.

-- The British Medical Journal issue of May 1999 reported: “Half of
the US biomedical researchers accused of scientific fraud and
subjected to formal investigations in recent years have been found
guilty of misconduct, a new review has found.  In the biggest review
of scientific fraud ever published, the US Office of Research
Integrity, has released data on nearly a thousand allegations
investigated over the five years from 1993 to 1997. The review
covered inquiries into allegations of misconduct into research funded
by the US Public Health Service, which has a budget of $15bn (£9bn).”

-- An article in the New York Times’s December 13, 2005, issue by
Gina Kolata is headlined: Environment and Cancer: The Links Are Elusive

Within the article, the reporter notes: “But pinning cancer on trace
levels of poisons in the environment or even in the workplace is
turning out to be a vexing task. There has been recent progress in
addressing the issue, but the answers that many people believe must
be out there remain elusive.… Researchers, for their part, say they
have not given up the quest. In their search for answers, they are
trying a variety of methods. They are looking for reliable ways to
detect environmental exposures and determine whether they are linked
to cancer risk. They are studying the bewildering array of factors
that can determine a chemical’s effects on individual people. And
they are looking at cancer statistics and asking whether there are
blips in cancer rates that may point to an environmental cause.”

In other words, scientists who believed passionately in
environmentalism and consequently blamed private businesses for most
of our problems, set out with a preconception and have spent decades
and billions of dollars looking for proof, rather like Monty Python’s
make-believe, comical quest for the Holy Grail.  So much for the
popular image that scientists dispassionately scrutinize raw data and
inductively reach logical conclusions.

-- Reporting on the massive asbestosis claims under the tort bar’s
class-action suits, the Wall Street Journal, in its November 5, 2005,
issue notes: “...asbestosis litigation, which had previously focused
on malignancies and other debilitating injuries, shifted radically
from the traditional model of an injured person seeking a lawyer to
an entrepreneurial model. Lawyers spent millions to sponsor mass
screenings of upwards of 750,000 industrial and construction workers. 
Of the 850,000 asbestos claimants that have so far brought suit
against over 8,400 different defendants, about 600,000 have been
recruited by these mass screenings....This all became clear when
10,000 of the 35,000 pending silica claims were centralized into a
federal multi-district litigation (MDL), presided over by U.S. 
District Court Judge Janis Jack, a Clinton appointee. During the
course of the MDL, one of the doctors recanted all 3,617 of his
diagnoses of silicosis, provoking Judge Jack to observe that “it’s
clear this . . . [diagnosing] business is fraudulent.”....Judge Jack
concluded that “the lawyers, doctors and screening companies” were
“all willing participants” in a “scheme [that] manufactured
[diagnoses] for money”—the equivalent of a finding of pervasive
fraud.....Asbestos litigation, meanwhile, prevented the creation of
500,000 jobs because of the diversion of capital in over 70 asbestos-
related bankruptcies.”

The next time you hear climatologists stating that “all the world’s
scientists” support the green-house gases hypothesis, or biologists
declaring that Darwinian evolution has been scientifically proved,
know that they are stating falsehoods, or, at best, no more than
their speculative hypotheses.

When only the crooks write the statue books, crime will cease to
exist.  When only global-warming theorists and Darwinians are
permitted to define “science,” no contradictory facts will be
admitted as science.  Don’t be surprised that they will fight to
prevent students from hearing the vast array of inconsistencies and
gaps that make their hypotheses improbable if not impossible.

The next time you see a court case report mentioning testimony from
“scientific experts,” scrutinize it with a large measure of
skepticism.  In too many cases, “scientists” are merely plying their
trade for their whoremasters, the tort bar.

Deabte, debate, debate. When will it end?

Why Are The Debates Still Going On?

By

Rob Hood

I don’t have any idea what is going on. Maybe someone can help me. I happened to be flipping through some channels on my TV last night and just happened to see an interview with Senator John Kerry on the Tavis Smiley Show.

It was like watching the debates all over again. It was the same thing we have been before the 2004 Presidential Election took place. It appears that liberal democrats are still angry because Bush won the election – again!

The comments that Kerry made were rather silly and outdated. He was still talking about leading a coalition into Iraq before the war. He stated that President Bush failed to lead a coalition into Iraq to disarm Saddam Hussein and remove him from power and that President Bush pushed aside our allies in the effort.

That could be no further from the truth. If you will take a look back into history, you can see that those so called allies who were supposed to be sanctioning Iraq to start with did not want to support us in the war against Iraq because they were not only not holding up their end of sanctions mandated from the ever corrupt United Nation deal after the first Gulf War, but were actually in the food for oil scandal WITH Saddam himself. We call these countries allies? How can they be our ally when they were actually helping our enemies? We do have true allies. God Bless Tony Blair, the UK, and the other nations that are helping in this war and shame on those who are hindering our efforts – even here in our own country!

These are the things that the liberal democrats like John Kerry cannot understand. He thinks that we can just go and “talk” to the terrorists and work out a deal. Sure we can. We can promise to leave them alone and the minute we turn our back, they will cut our head off! We cannot and must not negotiate with terrorists or with any leadership that harbors or supports them. Some say that Iraq was not a terrorist country and that Saddam had no ties to terrorism. No? Just ask Israel! They can tell the stories of Saddam paying $25,000 to every family who had a member to be a suicide bomber. Is that not terrorism? Is not gassing hundreds of thousands of your own people terrorism? Is not having torture and rape rooms and secret police terrorism? Is not having captured Christians and other people of different faiths skinned alive, burned alive, raped repeatedly, dipped in acid, and beaten to death not terrorism? Saddam had no ties to terrorism? That’s a cruel joke! The liberal democrats need to wake up out of their fantasy world. Bill O’Rielly said it best today when he said “Liberals live in a world in which they wish existed instead of living in the world that actually does exist.” I agree with Bill O’Rielly. We need more common sense folks and less liberalism. End of discussion!

____________________________________________________________________

Truth

By Thomas E. Brewton

In American colleges and universities, truth is equated to a
phantasmic view of the world, in which socialism is the ultimate
revelation of truth and justice.  Harvard’s coat of arms bears the
motto “Veritas,” the Latin word for truth; Yale’s, “Lux et Veritas,”
light and truth.  Both institutions since the early 1900s have used
the word truth in the same sense and to the same ends as the Soviets
employed it in their propaganda journal “Pravda,” a Russian word
meaning truth.

Socialism that is taught as multi-culturalism and political
correctness in our colleges and universities today was planted and
cultivated more than a century ago.  The bitter fruit of this
industry is our liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats, who find
repugnant the ethos of 1776 upon which our nation was founded.

Liberal-Progressive anti-Americanism and opposition to national
defense are explicit in the doctrine espoused openly from the late
1800s through the Vietnam era.  Today’s liberal Democrats and liberal
Republicans, seeking political advantage even at the expense of
emboldening terrorists in Iraq and disheartening our troops, are
simply reading from the socialist scripts of 1916-17, the 1930s, and
the 1960s.

Even before the 1917 Russian Revolution, leading universities in the
United States had begun a transition from the Christian roots of our
nation into atheistic, secular materialism in their teaching of the
so-called social sciences.

Nominally-Christian theological seminaries were in the vanguard of
the movement toward socialism.  Rochester Theological Seminary’s
professor Walter Rauschenbusch, one of the best known socialist
spokesmen of his era, was a founder of the Social Gospel movement
late in the 19th century.  Social Gospel was nothing more nor less
than socialism masquerading as Christianity.

Social Gospel embraced the avowed aims of socialism, which sound
similar to the results that flow from the Bible’s commandment to love
one’s neighbor as he would wish to have his neighbor love him.  The
insurmountable problem is that socialism, and therefore Social
Gospel, is atheistic and materialistic, i.e., the antithesis of
Christianity and religious Judaism.

To believe that Social Gospel is true Christianity is to believe that
the Soviet dictatorship of the proletariat was truly democratic.

In “Christianizing the Social Order” (1912), Professor Rauschenbusch
wrote:

“The Socialists found the Church against them and thought God was
against them, too.  They have had to do God’s work without the sense
of God’s presence to hearten them.....Whatever the sins of individual
Socialists, and whatever the shortcomings of Socialist organizations,
they are tools in the hands of the Almighty.......Socialism is one of
the chief powers of the coming age......God will raise up Socialism
because the organized Church was too blind, or too slow, to realize
God’s ends.”

Two other prominent seminaries, among many others, were active
promoters of socialism.  Their spokesmen also were nationally known
figures: Dr. Harry F. Ward of Union Theological Seminary in New York
and Dr. Bernard Iddings-Bell of St. Stephens College in Annandale,
New York.

Dr. Ward wrote “The New Social Order,” to express sympathy for
Socialism and to laud the Bolshevik revolutionary movement in Russia,
which he regarded as a desirable replacement for the Russian Orthodox
Christian Church.  Dr. Ward also was chairman of the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU), which actively defended the terrorist tactics
of the radical IWW labor organization, whose members murdered more
than a dozen employees and executives of industrial companies they
sought to intimidate with demands for labor seizure of management
control.

Dr. Iddings-Bell in “Right and Wrong After the War,” in this case
World War I, advocated Sigmund Freud’s version of Marxian
materialism, in which human life is controlled by hunger and the sex
urge.  From this theory of secular and materialistic human nature, he
concluded that (1) private property should be abolished; (2) income
earned from investments, savings accounts, and rental property is
robbery; (3) the family as a social unit should be abandoned except
as a temporary arrangement for purely sexual relations.

In his sermon delivered on May 23, 1920, at the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine, Dr. Iddings-Bell gave his support to revolutionary labor
demands for abolishment of the wage system and control of industry by
communistic labor unions.

He declared that the New Social Order had arrived and that people
were obliged to accept it.  Among other things, that meant that
internationalism must replace American patriotism.

The American Federation of Teachers, in the May-June, 1918, issue of
its house journal the “American Teacher,” carried an article
expressing the revolutionary industrial theory that children should
be taught to demand “industrial democracy,” of which it said, “...it
is by the people who do the work that the hours of labor, the
conditions of employment and the definition of property is to be
made.  It is by them the captains of industry are to be chosen, and
chosen by the servants, not masters.”

The InterCollegiate Socialist Society was organized in New York in
1905.  Its monthly magazine, the “Socialist Review” and volumes of
socialistic pamphlets, were distributed to chapters in 87 colleges
and universities, including, of course, Harvard and Yale.  Its
influence was even greater than this alone suggests, because its
founders included prominent writers Upton Sinclair and Jack London,
whose novels became part of the required canon of American literature
in university curricula.  Their socialistic views still today are
being absorbed by callow students who assume that the writers’ status
in the literary canon confers authority for their views.

According to the InterCollegiate Socialist Society’s year book,
“...in 1915-1916 John Spargo, Rose Pastor Stokes and Harry W. Laidler
spoke in 120 colleges before over 30,000 students and 12,000 others. 
They addressed some eighty economic and other classes and spoke
before over a score of entire college bodies.”

Out of this milieu in 1919 came New York City’s New School for Social
Research, dedicated to teaching manifestations of socialism in all
academic disciplines.  Among its founders were historian Charles
Beard, economists Thorstein Veblen and James Harvey Robinson, and
philosopher John Dewey, all active and avowed socialists.
Meanwhile, in the prestigious Ivy League, Harvard set the trend in
motion and went farther than most universities toward full embrace of
socialism as revealed truth.  Given the nature of Marxian
materialism, economics was not surprisingly the discipline in which
socialism was particularly prominent in the 1920s and 1930s.  Harvard
was, in fact, the launching pad for Keynesian economics in the United
States.

John Maynard Keynes’s doctrines have filled many books.  The
relevant points can be stated as (1) the Depression was caused by
people saving too much and not spending enough on consumption items
to keep factory workers fully employed; (2) private business
(capitalism) was unable in the modern world to sustain full
employment at good wages; (3) therefore the government had to assume
the role formerly occupied by private business and fund economic
activity and research in order to restore full employment via running
Federal deficits, the first such outside of war times; (4) government
should raise taxes high enough to redistribute private wealth from
the rich to the poor, via government transfer payments (the welfare
state); (5) government departments should regulate all phases of
economic activity, because academically trained administrators were
smarter and better equipped to manage business than businessmen, who
exploited workers for their own profit.

Harvard’s economics department has sheltered some prominent
socialists and avowed communists.  One of the more notorious was
Harry Dexter White, a Rooseveltian New Dealer.  Being a professor at
Harvard opened the doors to major Federal appointments.  White was
closely involved in establishing the International Monetary Fund and
the World Bank, and was a friend of John Maynard Keynes, whose
socialistic economics doctrines he taught at Harvard.

There was just one small fly in the ointment.  After his death, the
FBI in 1950 positively identified him via the Venona project as a
Soviet spy operating under the code name ‘Jurist.’ This confirmed
testimony of Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers that White had
been involved in the Communist party underground in the 1930s and had
been an active Soviet spy during World War II.

Lauchlin Currie, another Harvard economics teacher of Keynesianism,
was appointed from the Harvard faculty to staff position in the 1930s
New Deal at the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board.  It was
Currie who drafted the 1935 Banking Act which brought the Federal
Reserve Board more directly under President Franklin Roosevelt’s
control.

After World War II, Currie was also identified by Elizabeth Bently
and Whittaker Chambers as a Soviet agent.  Rather than face trial
here, he sought refuge in Columbia, beyond U.S. repatriational
jurisdiction.

Yet another of the thirteen Harvard faculty members who spied for the
Soviets was Alger Hiss.  While at the State Department, he delivered
confidential information to his Soviet handlers, as Whittaker
Chambers testified and KGB files verified after the end of the Cold war.

Other prominent, or notorious, socialists who taught at Harvard or
graduated from that institution were Supreme Court Justice Felix
Frankfurter, Walter Lippmann (who later saw the error of his ways),
Roger N. Baldwin (founder of the ACLU), Stuart Chase (who coined the
term New Deal and urged President Roosevelt to run rough-shod over
the Constitution in order to abolish private property); Graham Wallas
(British socialist leader who coined the term Great Society, later
borrowed by President Lyndon Johnson); Bertrand Russell (a dean of
world socialism); and Harold Laski (Harvard faculty member and close
friend of socialist Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,
later professor of economics at London School of Economics, which was
dedicated to the teaching of socialism).  John Reed, a Harvard
graduate (1910) wrote for Max Eastman’s “The Masses” and, after the
1917 revolution, went to Soviet Russia, became a Bolshevik convert,
wrote “Ten Days That Shook The World,” died in Russia, and was
declared a hero of the Soviet Union.

In the decades between the two world wars, it was considered
respectable for an educated, liberal person to be a socialistic
adherent of the policies of British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald,
a Fabian socialist, or a follower of John Maynard Keynes’s economic
doctrines.  These are the liberals who, like Nelson Rockefeller, are
nominal Republicans or Democrats, but in fact are true-blue
socialists.  People of that persuasion in the inter-war decades
abhorred a communist party leader like Earl Browder or Joseph Stalin,
or National Socialist Fuhrer Adolph Hitler.  Yet all of these people
were reading from the same socialistic texts and pursuing the same
ends, even if by somewhat different means.

During the Cold War, Harvard’s swing all the way to the socialist
left was documented by The New York Times on May 16, 1960, when it
reported that “1,359 Harvard faculty members and officers urged
[President] Eisenhower, at the eve of the abortive Summit Conference,
to agree to stop testing nuclear weapons even without inspection or
control.” The Times article goes on to note that this was exactly
the position advocated by the Kremlin in its worldwide propaganda
campaign intended to disarm the United States.

By the end of World War II, “Lux et Veritas” (light and truth) had
been effectively snuffed out at Yale, as William F. Buckley, Jr. 
documented in detail in his 1951 “God and Man at Yale.” Faculty,
textbooks, and course materials had been thoroughly permeated by
socialism.

I Spy: Terrorists at Work by Nathan Tabor

To spy or not to spy? That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of unknown yet preventable terrorist attacks, and keep our precious civil liberties untarnished, or, take arms against a sea of possibilities, and by our own foreknowledge, oppose them?

Shakespeare’s famous soliloquy wasn’t talking about terrorism, but the world is today. The news has been full of stories about President Bush and his spying program, with most of the spin being against his actions. The left is calling for a censure, an investigation, at the very least their faces in the news showing seething indignation. How could he? How dare he invade the lives of innocent people, record them without their knowledge, and monitor their activities? How could this happen, in America?

Wake up world, America is at war. Not sure why we need to be reminded of this, but it’s a fact. We’ve been at war for four years now. Many American lives have been lost in fighting this war; many innocent American civilians have died in the attack that started this war. Real lives, real people, fighting to stop terrorism. These people give up their freedom, live in harsh conditions, and often do not come home. Ever. They make the ultimate sacrifice for us, for our country. We owe them the best protection we can possibly give, to ensure each soldier the best chance of success and safety as they perform their duties. We owe that to these Americans, fighting for us as we go about our daily lives.

We owe them.

And that means spying. Yes, spying. Recording those who have contacts with countries that harbor terrorists, monitoring groups or organizations that our government deems as a possible threat, and also detaining individuals who are deemed suspicious by our government. This is war, and this is what happens during a war. People die, innocent people get hurt and inconvenienced. To give up spying activities by our government is like tying a blindfold on a ground soldier, asking him to ‘guess’ where the enemy might be, and hopefully guess right. We have to do better than that.

This war is different than any other we have engaged in. We aren’t fighting a specific country, we’re fighting a sick idealism that paints Americans as an evil force. We do not have anyone to reason with here, we do not have a stage to bargain on, we only have the agenda of the Jihad- Americans must die. These people are more than willing to kill themselves trying to kill us. They act individually, they can strike anywhere at any time, as we have experienced. They are there, and they are waiting for us to let our guard down.

Civil liberties are important, you’ll get no argument here to the contrary. However, what good are civil liberties when our country is under constant threat of an unknown attack, when we can no longer feel safe going to the grocery store? Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge? Flying cross-country? Eating, drinking our food? Turning a blind eye to possible terrorist planning makes all of these activities high risk. We become prisoners, civil and liberated yet afraid to leave our homes.

Forewarned is forearmed. Spying gives us valuable knowledge about possible terrorist planning and activities. We can use that knowledge to protect American lives, and continue to fight against terrorism. To suggest we curtail spying to protect our civil liberties is nothing more than liberal propaganda that will, in the end, cost us more innocent American lives. There is nothing noble about that.

Paul Harvey says:

This is from an email that I received from a friend. It has some truth in it and I would like to share it:

Paul Harvey says:

I don’t believe in Santa Claus, but I’m not going to sue
somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I
don’t agree with Darwin, but I didn’t go out and hire a
lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory
of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be
endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer
before a football game.

So what’s the big deal? It’s not like somebody is up there
reading the entire book of Acts. They’re just talking to a
God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the
players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it’s a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country
founded on Christian principles. According to our very
own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody
chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem,
I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China,
I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn’t be offended.
It wouldn’t bother me one bit.
When in Rome .

But what about the atheists? is another argument.

What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We’re not going to
pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
that’s asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear
plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or
two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don’t think a short prayer at a football game is
going to shake the world’s foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other
cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
eating; to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
handful of people and their lawyers are telling us
to cease praying.

God, help us.
And if that last sentence offends you,
well … just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It’s time we
let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard
that the vast majority don’t care what they want. It
is time the majority rules! It’s time we tell them, you don’t
have to pray; you don’t have to say the pledge of allegiance;
you don’t have to believe in God or attend services that
honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your
right. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our
rights away. We are fighting back …
and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all … especially those who denounce
Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still
the greatest nation of all

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect
our right to pray and worship God.

May 2006 be the year the silent majority is heard
and we put God back as the foundation of our
families and institutions.

The Wall of Myth

This is from J. Grant Swank, a fellow Move Off Member:

You can also read it on American Daily by clicking here : http://www.americandaily.com/article/10858

MYTH: CHURCH & STATE WALL

By J. Grant Swank Jr. (12/22/05)

Liberals have run off with this phrase, prostituting it per usual.

The matter is simple. It’s this: America does not want a state church. England has a state church — the Anglican Church. America does not want one denomination considered The Nation’s Church.

On the other hand, America has a religious heritage. It’s not Muslim. It’s not Hindu. It’s not Shinto. It’s not animism. It’s not New Age. It’s not Paganism. It’s not Voodoo. It’s Judeo-Christian.

America, while not desiring a state church, does desire religion in life. That includes religious expression in everyday exchange. Because Judeo-Christian is America’s heritage, most citizens honor that heritage expressed and honored. Its expression then should not be thwarted. It should not be belittled. It should not be erased in the name of “separation of church and state.”

Unhampered religious expression is promised in the First Amendment.

Further, America, having a Judeo-Christian heritage and the right to present-tense expression, permits freedom of religious expression to other religions. Therefore, there are those of other religious persuasions who practice without fear their religions in America.

What the liberals want to do is redefine the phrase “separation of church and state” to exclude Judeo-Christian religious expression in America. They want not only “separation of church and state” defined on their terms but the exclusion of the Judeo-Christian religion and anything coming close to that particular religious expression—period.

Liberals believe that if they continue harping on the “separation of church and state” phrase, brainwashing the public with their prostituted definition, especially indoctrinating the next generation with their prostituted definition, then they will have won secularism for America’s future.

They, in other words, want not only separation but exclusion of religion — completely so. Note however that the chief religion they want excluded is Judeo-Christian.

They will even tolerate other religions, as they are presently doing with the Muslim infiltration, but it is Judeo-Christian that they want cleansed from America. In other words, it’s a religious cleansing they desire for this nation — the extinguishing specifically of the Judeo-Christian faith.

Therefore, if tolerating another religion such as Islam helps wipe out Judeo-Christianity, then so be it. Islam is far better a tolerance than the American heritage of Judeo-Christian. Therefore, there are school districts hiring Muslims to speak to teachers on how to give Muslim students honor and space. No such invitation, of course, has been extended to Judeo-Christian specialists speaking to public school educators on how to give Judeo-Christian adherents honor and space.

In a nearby high school, a prayer room was set aside for Muslim students. No such prayer room or any other respect has been presented those of the Judeo-Christian heritage.

Liberals, in other words, will do whatever it takes to obliterate America of its rightful Judeo-Christian heritage. This is accented every year particularly during the Christmas season. Any other so-called “religious expression” can come to the fore but the Christian particulars must be silenced at all costs. So we hear throughout the Christmas season, not Christian hymn carols, but “separation of church and state.”

Once again, liberals have taken language to serve their own twisted purposes. They took “homosexual” and made it “gay.” They took “pro-choice” and made it “protecting females.” They take “separation of church and state” and make it “wiping out America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.”

What those of the Judeo-Christian heritage must do — and far more concertedly than they have ever done in the past — is to make clear to the public what “separation of church and state” really means. This must be put in print in magazines and journals. It must be preached from pulpits. It must be taught in religion classes. It must be spelled out in letters to the editor.

Unfortunately, this simply has not been done. The church in particular has permitted the liberals to carry on with their prostitution of the phrase. I have been appalled over the years to note that the church specifically has not risen to expose the liberals’ misuse of that phrase. Therefore, the young have taken quickly to the liberals’ definition while the church has sat, in the main, silent, allowing the enemy to win out.

CBS and Christmas

December 21, 2005

CBS Is Wrong – Again!

By

Rob Hood

I hate to admit it by I was curious and had to know what was going on in the liberal world of CBS. That’s right. I decided to watch their special on “The Mystery of Christmas”.

Needless to say, the people whom they decided to interview made the whole show seem as if it were somewhat slanted toward the whole Christmas story. It was the same as any other liberal sponsored news program. They had interviews but as usual the conservatives were outnumbered. That’s the way that these news people usually work. There is no fair and balanced source on CBS. They try to be, but often fail miserably. They had three liberals and one conservative. That’s fair and balanced?

Even the title of the show is silly. The Mystery of Christmas? What mystery? Read the Bible! It’s all there! The people who were interviewed doubted whether Christ was even born of a virgin or not saying that his birth was by a natural mother and father. If they had read the prophecies of Isaiah, they would not have even had to dispute this. Isaiah prophesied that this child would be born of a virgin and even prophesied how he would die saying that not one of His bones would be broken.

That happened to be true. Usually when someone was crucified, the Roman soldiers would break the legs of the criminal on the cross to speed up their death. When the soldier approached Jesus he was already dead and a spear was cast into his side to make sure of his death just as the prophecy said almost a thousand years before.

What about the Magi or the wise men? Well, CBS might have been right about them not being Kings. They probably were astronomers wanting to observe the STAR that signified the whereabouts of the newborn King.  I can go along with that. I can even believe that Jesus was born in the spring of the year (March or April) and not December. What the liberals do not and simply refuse to understand is that we are not celebrating and specific time and date. We are celebrating an event. Have you ever planned a birthday party and the person having the birthday could not make it, so you had to postpone until another time? If so then you know that you did not celebrate the day and time, you celebrated the event of his or her birth. It’s the same in this situation.

You see, so many liberals cannot see Jesus for who He is because they have never accepted Creation told in the story of Genesis. It all started here when Adam and Eve sinned and were cast out of the Garden of Eden. They were banned! From then on, when mankind wanted to talk with God, they had to make atonement for their sins in the form of an animal sacrifice, usually the very best of their flock and most often a lamb or calf.

When Jesus came into the world, born of a virgin, he took the place of animal sacrifice to be the ultimate sacrifice for mankind. He took the place of our sins if only we would acknowledge that and confess our sins and repent and have faith that Jesus is who he said he was - the Holy and only Son of God.

These are the things we celebrate at Christmas. It’s more than a virgin birth. It includes the whole history of the universe. Creation itself is reflected in this event, but once again the liberal news media make light of the facts to fulfill their secular goals of socialism.

They hate to mention Jesus as divine and holy. Ask yourself this: Did Muhammad ever heal the sick? Did Buddha raise the dead? Do you ever hear the news media say anything negative towards any faith other than Christianity? No and you will not. The world is very hostile toward Christianity. Even Jesus said “You will be hated in all nations for my name’s sake”.

Take a good look at the Bible from beginning to end and you can fit the pieces of the puzzle together. They fit perfectly. I do believe that it is the perfect, God inspired, Holy, and infallible world of God no matter what CBS says. They are wrong again!

Christmas or Holidays?

This article is from Nathan Tabor of The Conservative Voice ( www.theconservativevoice.com )who is a fellwo Move Off member. ( www.moveoff.net )

Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays

By Nathan Tabor

What’s the real difference between wishing someone a “Merry Christmas” or
instead, saying “Happy Holidays?” Both are said in kindness, meant to wish
someone well during the same time of year.  It seems that the two should be
interchangable, that they both essentially mean the same thing.  Therefore,
when someone takes offense to being wished a “Merry Christmas”, it seems
like no big deal to just substitute “Happy Holidays” and be done with it.
It may seem like no big deal, but it is.

A Very Big Deal.

Christmas is not just any old holiday.  Christmas celebrates the birth of
Christ, and the teachings of good will and kindness towards one another that
Christ brought to this world.  We celebrate his birth not only to honor Him,
but to remind ourselves of how we strive to live our lives of faith.

The majority of Americans belong to a religion or faith that believes in the
teachings of Jesus. Why is the majority being asked to hide their faith for
the so called ‘comfort’ of a minority? Our country is based on majority
rule.  While it would be unreasonable to force all to be the religion of the
majority, it is equally unreasonable to ask the majority to deny their faith
because a select few are uncomfortable.  Yet, this is exactly what is
happening.

We deny our children the right to celebrate Christmas in their public
schools.  They are not allowed to sing Christmas carols, decorate Christmas
trees or even hand out candy canes with religious sentiments.  In fact, some
of our children have been punished, suspended or chastized for doing so.
What message does this send to our children?  It implies that there is
something wrong with expressing faith in Jesus.  It subtly pulls them away
from their faith, while at the same time promoting other minority faiths as
being somehow ‘better’ or more acceptable.  Our children are damaged by
these ridiculous practices, and it is time to put an end to the persecution
of Christianity in our public schools.  Christianity is the predominant
faith of our country, it should not be treated as it it was deviant or
radical or even subversive. Yet, it is.  Small wonder that our society is
moving farther away from religion and losing touch with the discipline and
moral code that religious practice offers.

It is also interesting to note that many non-christians celebrate
Christmas.  Has any Christian ever come out and condemned anyone for
participating in the holiday without believing in Christ?  Has any Christian
group ever come out and denied a religious presentation in a public school
by another religious group?  Of course not.  It is only Christianity which
is repeatedly shunned from school celebrations.  The liberal agenda is hard
at work, making sure Jesus stays out of his own holiday.

The fact is that the teachings of Christ are the basis for our legal system
and government. Thou shalt not kill, ( murder) covet thy neighbor’s wife,
(adultery) lie, steal, bear false witness, etc all come from the ten
commandments.  As a member of our society, we buy into these beliefs as true
and sound.  Therefore, we have a reason to celebrate Christmas even if we
aren’t Christian, as we are celebrating the fundamental cornerstones of our
society.

What we lose when we generalize the Christmas season with the ambiguous
“Happy Holidays” is the connection between Christ and Christmas.  That is
exactly what the liberals want us to do.  They want to level the playing
field and keep the minority in rule, instead of the rightful majority.
Liberalism is socialism, and if you look at socialism or socialist countries
you will find that they often do not allow religion.  They don’t want
anything to compete with the influence of the government over its people.
“Happy Holidays” is the first step in eradicating the most prominent
religion from our society.

What can we do about this?  We can remember to stand proud in our faith, and
not allow ourselves to be browbeaten by the minority liberal agenda.  We can
set a place for Christ at our Christmas table, and make sure that our
holiday is centered around the teachings of Jesus.  We can take the time to
renew our faith, and build upon the strength that our faith provides for us.
We can greet one another with a boisterous “Merry Christmas!” and know we
mean just that.

A Politcal Analysis for 2006.

What Will 2006 Bring? A Political Alanysis

By

Rob Hood

It is not long until we see a new year. While none of us can predict the future I think I can try to predict the political spectrum of events to unfold.

I know that the Judge Alito confirmation process will probably bring a heated battle between liberals, moderates, and conservatives over the issues of abortion, privacy, and religion in the public square, not to mention Second Amendment rights.

That, I believe, is a fair and accurate assumption to make considering what we already know how the left feels about this particular nominee. I personally cannot see why they are getting their feathers so ruffled over the issue. President Bush won the election fair and square in 2004 and has every right to pick who he wants. Then again, I would probably have acted somewhat the same if John Kerry had won the election and picked some one to the far left as a judicial nominee. It’s basic human nature to cheer for someone you have something in common with and jeer for the other side. That goes for life itself, not just politics.

I believe that we will see even more progress being made in Iraq in 2006 that we did in 2005. I feel that we probably can and will start pulling troops out sometime in 2006, but you have to realize that it takes time to train soldiers. It takes time for the U.S. military to train soldiers and obtain officers after training. It is a slow process and we must be patient.

I do not regret the fact that we did invade Iraq with the presumption that we would find weapons of mass destruction which could still happen. The weapons are probably buried deep in the sands across the Syrian border. I doubt whether Saddam was actually dumb enough not to hide them from us before we arrived. He may be a mean man, but he knows how to play politics better than anyone in Washington ever could. His style is deception and trickery.

In 2006 I hope we do see better progress in immigration reform, social security reform (if the liberals let us), and a better view of the war on terror. Perhaps we will even find and capture Osama Bin Laden himself. I hope we do. That would make my day to see Osama imprisoned and stripped of his anti-American, anti-Christian rhetoric.

Like I said before none of us knows the future and none of us knows if we will even be alive tomorrow or not. We are not guaranteed life, be we are granted freedom by a document that some of the greatest minds have ever drafted before. That document is the United States Constitution. I am proud to be an American and know that I have the right to free speech, the right to freedom of religion, and other personal freedoms that we all, liberal and conservative, take for granted sometimes.

We can make this nation and this world a better place in 2006 if we only try to get along and show respect for each other and for our founding fathers’ intentions of the drafted Constitution. We owe it to ourselves and the world to be the prime example of freedom and democracy in a world that is somewhat hostile to those ideals. Together we can make the difference!

Having Fun with the ACLU at Christmas.

Wanna have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a....… CHRISTMAS CARD!!!
As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, card to brighten up their
dark, sad, little world.

Make sure it says “Merry Christmas” on it.
Here’s the Address, just don’t be rude or crude. (It’s Not the Christian Way,
ya know.):

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations for a while because
they wouldn’t know if it were regular mail containing contributions.  So spend 37 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. 10 tons would be even better.

PS...even better, write “contribution enclosed” down in the corner, and
enclose one penny in with the card....so you aren’t “lying” to them.  Then they HAVE
to open it!!

Losing the war in the United States.

This is an article from Thomas Brewton of the View from 1776, who is a fellow Move Off Network member ( www.moveoff.net ):

We’ve Lost the War in New Orleans, DC, and Detroit

By Thomas E. Brewton

Looking at the U.S. troop death rate, from all causes, it’s clear that Iraq is
far safer than most of our major cities.

Two thousand plus deaths is not a small number, but it must be seen in
perspective.  The annualized death rate, from all causes, of American troops in
Iraq is a small fraction of the murder rates alone in most major U.S. cities.

Public support for the war in Iraq has declined, almost entirely because of the
daily pounding of American casualty statistics by the liberal news media.  When
the death total recently passed 2,000, we were treated to an eruption of
protest demonstrations, editorials, and speeches. 

Senators Ted Kennedy (the hero of Chappaquiddick) and John Kerry (who, in case
you have forgotten, served in Vietnam), along with Representative John Murtha
(who used to be claimed by Marines as one of them), have proclaimed that we’re
mired in a losing war in Iraq and/or that our troops must be withdrawn very
soon, if not immediately.

In no way to minimize the importance of every death, Iraqi and American, at the
hands of Islamic thugs, let’s put put the numbers into perspective.

In the 33 months since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, our average number
of troops in Iraq has been roughly 167,800.  That number is based upon
published reports that we had 130,000 troops initially and raised the total to
180,00 in November, 2003.

Using the average number of troops, we can calculate the annual death rate per
1,000 troops at 4.66.  Remember that number includes deaths from accidents,
roadside IEDs, direct enemy fire, and suicide bombers.  Moreover, the monthly
numbers of deaths have been declining since the start of the war, so the 33-
month average is higher than the latest monthly rates.

Let’s compare that rate to 2002 murder rates, the latest I can find on the
internet:

Murders per 1,000 population:

New Orleans--------53.1
Washington, DC---45.8
Detroit--------------42.0
New York City-------7.5
Seattle---------------4.5

U.S. troops, all causes:
Iraq------------------4.7

If we are to accept the logic of liberal-Progressive politicians and media
pundits, we must pull out of Iraq because we can’t win.  Using that same logic,
we should disband all of our big-city police forces, because murders keep
happening, at a far higher rate than the death toll in Iraq, no matter what the
police do.

GOD BLESS YOU

This is from the same unknown author. I received this in a forwarded email:

God still sits on the throne, the devil is a liar.

You may be going through a tough time right now but God
is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep
the faith.

My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God
to bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four people you want to be blessed and a copy back to me.
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts
we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let us
continue to pray for one another.

Here is the prayer:

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and email
buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of
Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to
their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Bless their homes,
families, finances, their goings and their comings In Jesus’
precious name.

Amen

I know, I picked more than four, so can you

GOD BLESS YOU!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is from an email with the author unknown:

MERRY CHRISTMAS

YOU CAN’T STEAL
MY CHRISTMAS

I don’t know who they are
Saying I can’t greet the crowd
The way that I want to
Can’t say CHRISTMAS out loud.

I walk into a business place
See things that I rather not see
But dare I not say CHRISTMAS
And ask for a “holiday” tree.

What happened to freedom of speech
And living in the land of the free
How can they take my CHRISTMAS money
But can’t say MERRY CHRISTMAS to me.

Men and women have given their lives
So we could still go free
I wonder how they would feel
At saying “HOLIDAY” TREE.

Come on AMERICA let’s wake up

Taking Christ out of Christmas is not the thing to do!

It¹s Not Polite to Use the ³C² Word in Public

By Nathan Tabor

There¹s an old saying that goes: if something looks like a duck, walks like
a duck, and talks like a duck, then it must be a duck.  But as the latest
campaign in the unwavering war against one of the most sacred days of the
year demonstrates, this simple litmus test might not always apply.

The cold wind blows as beautiful snowflakes fall to the ground; houses are
adorned with twinkling lights; on street corners everywhere fraternal and
church groups are selling freshly cut evergreen trees.  It looks like
Christmas.

Radio stations are eagerly deviating from their normal formats and breaking
most of the rules of modern, homogenized radio to play the ³sounds of the
season²‹either intermittently or 24/7.  I hear many of my favorites‹Joy to
the World, Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, Blue Christmas or Little Saint
Nick‹streaming through my car speakersŠclearly, it sounds like Christmas.

When you combine the music, weather and scenery with the tangible excitement
exemplified by little children waiting to tell the jolly fellow dressed in
red what¹s on their ³wish list,² it sure feels like Christmas.

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year.  It is a chance to
reflect upon the greatest gift God has granted each‹our life‹in the context
of the humble life Christ assumed when the Word became Flesh.  I treasure
the wonderful memories and good times that come from being with family and
friends.  This year is extra special for my wife and me because it is our
daughter¹s first Christmas.  Just thinking about this challenges me to
control my anticipation as much as waiting for Santa does most children.

But if you pay close attention to many of the ads on TV and radio, the
jingles played between songs, the wording of most greeting cards, and the
general attitude afforded this time of year, you can call this holiday many
things: but none dare call it Christmas.

We are all too familiar with the scenarios: atheist sues city over nativity
scene; ACLU says portrait of the Madonna (the Mother of God, not the singer)
covered in cow dung is protected speech, but elementary school Christmas
play is hate crime. and so it goes year after year.  It is absurd and
frustrating, but should not be too easily dismissed as a ³phase² we will get
past if we just ignore the problem.

There is good news and bad news in this battle.  The good news is that this
is not the most hostile society has been toward Christianity and its sacred
traditions.  The bad news is that we¹re on a collision course to letting the
past repeat itself.  The time to take a stand against future persecution is
now.

One of the aforementioned classic holiday tunes serves as the perfect
example of the ghost of Christmas persecution past and what will become the
ghost of Christmas persecution future if we don¹t soon wise up.  If you,
like me, have been tuned in to the local station playing all Christmas songs
all the time, you¹ve undoubtedly heard ³The 12 Days of Christmas² several
times by now.  Apparently, radio programmers didn¹t get the ³memo² about not
using the ³C-word² in public.

³The 12 Days of Christmas² is more than just a whimsical, well-rhymed song.
It was actually written during a period in England (1559-1829) when it was
illegal for Catholics to practice their faith.  It was designed as a
³catechism song,² with each verse delivering a coded message about the
fundamental tenets of the faith.  The idea was that Catholics could sing the
song without fear of retribution, but the memory aids built into it would
help the children learn the faith.

The ³true love² mentioned in the song represents God the Father, not an
earthly suitor, and the recipient (³me²) represents the baptized person. A
few other examples from the song include:  the partridge in a pear tree was
Christ on the cross; two turtle doves symbolized the Old and New Testaments;
four calling birds signified the four evangelists‹Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John; ten lords a-leaping stood for the Ten commandments; and the 12
drummers drumming denoted the 12 points of belief expressed in the Apostles
Creed.

It took an act of the English Parliament in 1829 to end the undue
persecution of Catholics in Britain, but as another saying goes, those who
are ignorant to history are bound to repeat it.  While it is true that a
key component of the Christian faith is to endure suffering, American
Christians would be foolish to turn a blind eye to harbingers of a new
period that outlaws the belief in Christ.

Less than 200 years have passed since the emancipation of Catholics in
England.  Now we live in a world where the worship of self and material
goods is celebrated; where those who seek to honor our country¹s
Judeo-Christian heritage are ridiculed at best and castigated at worst.  And
now, we are told that in the name of ³tolerance,² Christians and their
holidays simply can¹t be tolerated.

The fact is, you cannot have Christmas without Christ. That¹s not to say
that individuals cannot celebrate December 25 in some secularized way‹ that
is their prerogative if they so choose.  But it does not give others the
right to rob us of the true origin and nature of the celebration. So, Merry
Christmas to you all!

STOP THE ACLU

Nedd Kareiva has a great site all about the wiles of the ACLU. It is a great source of information for anyone wanting to know what the ACLU is up to. We all know how the ACLU is when it comes to Christianity in America and how they view the world as a secular place without consequences for actions taken. They often stand against the church on issues like abortion, same-sex marriage, and a list of other topics. STOP THE ACLU is the first stop on the road to exposing their agenda. I highly recommend this site to bookmark and come back to daily. The site is STOP THE ACLU at www.stoptheaclu.org.Also visit www.stoptheaclu.com for a great discussion of issues.

Kayne West 2006 ? ( By Nathan Tabor)

The Following is a message from Nathan Tabor of The Conservative Voice ( www.theconservativevoice.com ) :

Hope everyone is well and ready for Christmas!  Sorry for the lack of
columns lately.  I have been working on my :60 commentaries -
http://www.aconservativemoment.com—after just six weeks they are on over
250 stations through American Family Radio.

Here is my latest column -
http://www.theconservativevoice.com/press/Kanye_West_2006.doc

Conservatively yours,
Nathan Tabor

Kanye West 2006?

By Nathan Tabor

I have a confession to make.  I had not really paid attention to Kanye West
until I saw him on NBC this past September, speaking at the live televised
fundraiser for victims of hurricane Katrina.

Apparently he is a successful rap star, though I wouldn¹t know because I try
to avoid
songs with lyrics that use expletives that make me cringe and bring about
strange stares from people passing by in the streets.  If you are a fan of
his rap music, I think you should be concerned.  It seems that Mr. West is
embarking on another career, and it doesn¹t involve making music videos or
writing angry and violent songs.  Kanye is now looking to become a
politician and leave behind the gold diggers.  That¹s right, if you heard
his live comments bashing the care of black Katrina victims, you can easily
see how he is moving in that direction.

Kanye begins his monologue by saying “I hate the way they portray the US in
the media.” (This, of course, from the man who repeatedly uses racial
epitaphs in his music.) While it is unclear who ‘they’ and ‘us’ are
referring to, I think it is safe to say that he is trying to make himself
one with the population of people hurt by Katrina who happen to be black.
I¹m not sure how many black victims of Katrina there were wearing designer
rugby shirts and cashing six figure checks, but maybe he saw a few that I
didn¹t.

A good politician takes advantage of every opportunity, and Kanye certainly
tried to take advantage of his.  A live TV feed was all he needed to make
his personal views known to the world.  Interesting, that the same political
sentiments appear on his rap albums. Nothing like free publicity!  It may
have seemed that he had difficulty speaking, or had not planned his words
very carefully but don¹t be misled.  The stammering and declining
articulation resulted from him not being able to swear and curse as
frequently as he is accustomed to in his rap music.  I¹m sure Kayne was
aware that any expletive would risk ending the live broadcast, so he had to
be careful not to swear.

Speaking without profanity is now a challenge for Kanye, and we need to be
understanding of that as he hones his new career choice.  As with any
novice, there are some things that Kanye will need to do to improve his
chances of becoming a successful politician.

The first is easy: know what in God¹s name you are talking about.  There is
a fine line between being a politician and the local village idiot, a line
easily crossed when you just don¹t have a grasp of what is at hand.  Second,
if you¹re going to speak at a fundraiser for one of the biggest catastrophes
to hit our country, be sure to actually contribute to the fund raising
yourself.  There is almost no way to look more arrogant or self- centered
than to neglect to contribute, or to babble about how you¹re going to speak
to your business manager about contributing at a later time.  Yeah.  Right.
Third, try to remember that when people are starving or without food or
shelter and their lives are endangered, they truly couldn¹t care less about
how one picture is captioned as to another.  They want help, not an
unsolicited political monologue.

So, good luck to Kanye and his political aspirations. Better yet, Kanye,
don¹t give up your day job.

Sillyness Continued ...

December 16, 2005

It’s Still Happening : Liberalism has run Amuck!

By Rob Hood

Any liberal who says that there is not a war against Christianity needs to take a good, long look at reality. In The war on Christmas is not enough. The war against conservative ideals is not enough. The war against anything pure and decent is not enough.

No the liberals of the world, not just here in the U.S. , want a world in which there are no rules except their own., no religion except tolerance and diversity, no education except what they want to be heard to advance their political agenda through college campuses, and no common sense, just a bunch of non-sense.

I just finished reading a article on Lifesite ( www.lifesite.net ) that stated that yet another crazy charge against a Christian has been made. He supposedly spoke “hate speech” about a group of homosexuals and got jailed and fined $ 30,000. Of course this was in France, but just how close is the United States coming to this? The UN and EU are strongly pushing their One World Government and anti-Christ agenda on us. Thank God for John Bolton! At least he won’t back down from common sense.

Just who is the UN and EU and NATO for that matter to tell us how to run our state laws about religion and civil rights? Their job is international security and military matters, not to tell us how to run our country. That was settled on July 4, 1776 whether they like it or not!

The Bible plainly states that homosexuality is sin and an abomination before God. I realize that there are people reading this that are not Christian, but you have to understand that Christianity will never accept this lifestyle. NEVER! It is immoral and wrong! PERIOD! END OF DISCUSSION!

Sure we get called “homophobic” , whatever that is. We are not scared of gays, we just disagree with their lifestyle. Maybe they are Godophobic! We all know as Christians to love the sinner and hate the sin. That’s why we preach out against it to start with. We are not out to get them but want to tell them how they can have eternal life with Christ and leave the life of sin.

It all goes back to creation. Liberals hate the word creation because the basis of reality revolves around it. Everything surrounds creation. Liberals do not want to hear this because it destroys their theory of evolution which in turn destroys the reality of God and ultimately gives the a world to live in with no personal responsibility or accountability to a higher authority.  They know that if creation is taught, then everything from homosexuality to abortion is wrong before God. So what do they do? They eliminate God for their own pleasures.

You don’t think persecution is here in America? Try praying to Jesus in public. Try reading your Bible in a public place like work or School ( at break of course ). Try talking about creation and God to someone in a public place.  Try saying Christmas in public. Try doing a college paper or book report on something conservative and Christian.

All of these things could easily have taken place before 1965. Now if you do them you will most likely face a lawsuit by the ACLU. Let them bring a lawsuit. If they can sue God, I surely want to see that! Let them take Christ out of Christmas. Let them take down the Ten Commandments. Let them take prayer away from the schools. Let them strip freedom of speech from the Church. They’ll pay for it in the end. While we may not be able to do much about it here on earth, these people will face a just and righteous God face to face one day and He will ask why they did this. There will be no backing down or setting a date for a later time, or calling allies. It will be Judgment day!

We are about to celebrate the birth of a savior, that is, Jesus Christ and all the corporations can think about is big bucks and “holidays”. I don’t know when the exact day and time of Christ’s birth was. No one does. That is not relevant anyway. We picked this day to celebrate His birth whether he was born on December 25 or July 30.  The day does not matter as much as the event and we simply cannot get this to stick in the minds of anti-Christ liberals. How simple can it be?

Another thing I fail to understand is that the liberals wanted a convicted felon and murderer set free ( Tookie )while they let Terri Schiavo starve to death.  They want a murderer to live and yet have slaughtered over 42,000,000 million unborn lives.  In reality the liberals of the world have killed more innocent lives than they claim President Bush has if we were to stay in Iraq for the next 60,000 years. That’s right. I actually got out my calculator and calculated that at the rate soldiers have died in Iraq, it would take 60,000 years of this to catch up to deaths by abortion.  The average number of soldiers killed in Iraq since the start of the war is around 700 per year. Last year alone liberals killed over 200,000 unborn children and they have the audacity to say we that Bush is killing our children? Get real people! Get over it! Who is killing who? That’s right! Liberals are killing children 700 to one. For every soldier that has died in Iraq, 700 unborn children were aborted. It looks like to me that we have a much bigger problem at home than in Iraq when our own people are killing each other at a rate that those who hate us and want to destroy us cannot even do while being armed and organized.

If you ask me we have a bigger war with the liberals of the world than we do with those who we are currently fighting in Iraq. For all I know they may even be on the same side. It sure sounds like it sometimes.

The End is Near?

The New World Order - It is Approaching

by

Rob Hood

I just want to say a few words about the coming New World Order as described in the Book Of Revelations. It deals with the one world government and an anti-Christ that will rise to power near the end of the world.

No one know when the end will come. no one knows when Jesus will come back. the Bible states that not even the angels know, only the Father.

I have been reading some wonderful material that is, of course personal opinion based on fact, by an author by the name of Grant R. Jeffrey.

The First book I read of his concerned the war in Iraq and what could be next. Most of his books are facts taken from the world and written based upon the writings of prophecy in the Bible. of course, no one can predict the future ( except true prophets of God) but we can speculate and collect data and this author has done a marvelous job of presenting the facts about the anti-Christ and the New World Order.

I urge you to take a look at all of his writings at hi site. log on to www.grantjeffrey.com for more information. In the meantime, look for His return! The Lord that is!

Purity in an impure world

Book Review : Every Young Man’s Battle by Stephen Arterburn & Fred Stoeker

By

Rob Hood

I want to recommend a great book for anyone with a teenager who is trying to teach integrity, morality, and sexual purity to their children in a world filled with perverse logic and immoral behaviors.

We truly live in a world where we see the “Hollywood” version of life rather than reality. In this detailed book about a man who underwent a transformation from a life of sexual immorality to a life devoted to purity and God.

Sure sex is part of life and should be enjoyed in the marriage life, but too often today we see that the world is teaching our children about immoral acts and are teaching them that sex outside of marriage is o.k., but we all know that Jesus stated that if any man looks upon a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Every teenager raised in a Christian home should have a copy of this book. It deals not only with sexual temptation but how to overcome it through prayer and devotion to God. Abstinence is getting more popular nowadays and the Southern Baptist Convention has, for years, promoted their True Love Waits campaign that promotes sexual purity until a Biblical marriage relationship.

If you are trying to teach sexual purity and the consequences of not being sexually pure to a teenager, then this book is for you. I was amazed how open the authors were about their personal experiences which show great examples of Godliness and forgiveness from God.

This book won The Golden Medallion Book Award and I personally endorse and recommend it. More information can be found on this topic and book by logging on to New Life Ministries at www.newlife.com .

Message about abortion

From Nathan Tabor of the Conservative Voice ( www.theconservativevoice.com ) :

This is sick and pathetic.  Just think our tax dollars goes to fund this
organization.

Nathan

Planned Parenthood conceals rape of 11-year-old and brags about it on web
site

Washington, D.C. ‹ “People may be skeptical when pro-life groups accuse
Planned Parenthood of violating the law and protecting rapists,” said Jim
Sedlak, executive director of American Life League’s STOPP International.
“However, when Planned Parenthood itself seems to brag, on one of its
official web sites, about doing just
that, it is time law enforcement agencies in every state address the
situation.”

In the “Shared Stories” section of the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate web
site, the group published a letter in which a young girl praises Planned
Parenthood for not telling her parents that she was raped by her 17-year-old
boyfriend when she was just 11 years old. Neither the letter itself nor
Planned Parenthood made any mention of Planned Parenthood alerting law
enforcement to this sexual abuse of an
11-year-old child.

“Attorneys general in several states are trying to get records of young
Planned Parenthood clients to see how widespread this practice of protecting
rapists is at Planned Parenthood.” said Sedlak. “Planned Parenthood is
fighting each of these efforts using its high-priced lawyers.

“An in-depth expose done a few years ago by Life Dynamics Incorporated
seemed to show that more than 90 percent of Planned Parenthood and National
Abortion Federation clinics around the country routinely advise underage
girls how to avoid the mandatory reporting requirements of the various
states,” Sedlak said. “It is time that
authorities everywhere addressed this threat to our children. STOPP calls on
pro-lifers nationwide to do all they can to get local district attorneys to
investigate local Planned Parenthood offices.”

NOTE: The letter in question was posted on the Planned Parenthood Golden
Gate web site at: http://www.ppgg.org/action/stories.asp?ID=15

The Spirit !

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering “I was lost,
Now I’m found and forgiven.”

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner
Who received God’s good grace, somehow!

Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement. But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are “perfect” or “better than others” can be dispelled.

May your day be filled with many blessings

One day, a man went to visit a church.
He got there early, parked his car, and got out.
Another car pulled up and the driver got
out and said,"I always park there!
You took my place!” The visitor went inside for
Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down.
A young lady from the church
approached him and stated,
“That’s my seat! You took my place!”
The visitor was somewhat distressed
by this rude welcome, but said nothing.
After Sunday School, the visitor went
into the sanctuary and sat down.
Another member walked up to him and said,
“That’s where I always sit! You took my place!”
The visitor was even more troubled by this
treatment, but still He said nothing.
Later as the congregation was praying
for Christ to dwell among them,
the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change.
Horrible scars became visible on
his hands and on his sandaled feet.
Someone from the congregation
noticed him and called out, “What happened to you?”
The visitor replied, as his hat
became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye,
“I took your place.”

When you receive this, say a prayer.
That’s all you have to do.
There is nothing attached.
This is powerful.
Just send this to four people
and see what happens on the fourth day.
Maybe, just maybe, we can get the world
to start thinking of Who took our place.

The Grace of God !

A man dies and goes to heaven.

Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter says, “Here’s how it works.
You need 100 points to make it into heaven.
You tell me all the good things you’ve done,

and I give you a certain number of points for each item,
depending on how good it was.

When you reach 100 points, you get in.”


“Okay,” the man says,

“I was married to the same woman for 50 years


and never cheated on her, even in my heart.”

“That’s wonderful,” says St.Peter, “that’s worth three points!”

“Three points?” he says. “Well, I attended church all my life

and supported its ministry with my tithe and
service.”

“Terrific!” says St.Peter.  “That’s certainly worth a point.”

“One point!?!!”

“I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a
shelter for homeless veterans.”


“Fantastic, that’s good for two more
points,” he says.

“Two points!?!!  “Exasperated, the man cries.


“At this rate the only way I’ll get into heaven is by the grace of
God.”

“Bingo, 100 points!  Come on in!”

We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape.

God did it with a nail.
AMEN

Who is Hillary?

I thought I would mshare this email from a friend:

THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES!

From Paul Harvey...

Conveniently Forgotten Facts

Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther
named Alex Rackley needed to die.

Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied
to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him
for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.
When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member,
Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackley’s body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles
north of New Haven, Connecticut.

Perhaps at this point you’re curious as to what happened to these Black
Panthers?

In 1977, that’s only eight years later, only one of
the killers was still in jail.

The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to
get a scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none
other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an
Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn’t that something? As a
‘60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone’s head and a few
years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant
college dean! Only in America!

Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the
water for Mr. Rackley’s torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was
elected to a California School Board.

How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy?

Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two
people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two
people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with
demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during
their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.

Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn’t a college dean.
He isn’t a member of a California School Board. He is now head of
the United States Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division,
appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther
defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an
assistant college dean? No, neither!

The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law
student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as
the “smartest woman in the world.”

She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York----
our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And now, as Paul Harvey said;

“You know the rest of the story.”

A Great Article

This was in an email I read erlier today. it’s a great article:

By Debbie Daniel

I’m on a “Merry Christmas” mission and I’m in full throttle. My little yellow VW Beetle has turned into a Christmas billboard with Merry Christmas written across the back window. Yes, I’ve decided to trek off to work everyday on the public highways with a message that seems to offend people.

At stop lights, I even turn my music up a little louder, and to top it off, I sing along with it. Don’t I know that stopping at a red light to roll my windows down only to share the joy of Christmas carols on public streets is a No-No? Don’t I fear the Christmas Gestapo and those who would have me remove the written message from my car?

I’m sorry folks, but the only person I’m concerned about “offending” during this Christmas season is the Lord himself. LEAVE THAT MANGER ALONE! We’ve allowed the Baby Jesus to be kicked out of His lowly manger, and those offended by Christmas are still not happy.

I refuse to let this happen. I’m going to do my part to make sure “Merry Christmas” doesn’t become extinct. Because like it or not, if the believers in Christmas don’t take a stand now, it’s gone forever.

Listen folks, the Christian community has been underestimated before; we will have to show ourselves again.

I walked into a Wendy’s Restaurant the other day and was rather exuberant with my “Merry Christmas” greeting to the manager. He didn’t have much of a response and I said, “Where’s your Christmas spirit?” He said, “We’re not allowed to use the words “Merry Christmas” when greeting customers. We can only say “Happy Holiday.”

This morning I grabbed a quick breakfast at a Whataburger Restaurant. I noticed there wasn’t a single decoration in the store. I asked the manager why they weren’t decorated for Christmas. He told me the corporate headquarters decided not to send any decorations to any of their stores, and he didn’t know why.

After I heard about all the Macy’s and Federated Stores taking down their Merry Christmas signs, the Target stores not allowing the Salvation Army to “Ring the Christmas bells,” and the many incidents of children, choirs, and bands not allowed to play or sing Christmas carols, I realized it was happening right here in my own little Texas town.

How can this be? Not Texas!

We do, however, have a store, Hobby Lobby, that plays nothing but Christmas carols during the season. On Christmas Day they run a full page ad in our local newspaper. That ad is not to promote the store, but uses the entire page to tell the story of Jesus’ birth. Now that’s taking a stand. We need to thank them.

When I saw a news report the other evening of children being taught new words to a song we’ve sung for years - “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” - I was saddened to hear “We Wish You a Splendid Holiday.”

I know now that it’s just a matter of time that the “Merry Christmas” greetings will be gone. Look around your town. Notice the “Holiday” greetings and not “Christmas.” It’s happening right before our very eyes.

Start singing the songs; go down the streets of America singing to your heart’s content. Get some of those wash-off markers that these kids use to write on their car windows when they’re rooting for their hometown football team. It’s easy to do, and if a torrential rain washes it off, write it on there again.

We’ve got to get this message out. “Go Tell It On the Mountain . . . that Jesus Christ is Born.” Sing it, speak it, be a billboard for our Lord.

The story of this “Baby Jesus” alone has brought about more goodwill at this time of year than any other day we celebrate. How can we sit back and allow Him to be snuffed out of our lives?

Is it Jesus, or is it His followers that the “offended” don’t like? What kind of revulsion galvanizes one to campaign so vehemently against the mere mention of His name, the mere singing of a carol, or the mere visual of a sign that says “Merry Christmas?”

I can listen to my own boss at work use some of the vilest words and follow up with, “Excuse my French.” I may cringe inside at his damning of God’s name, but I tolerate it. So if you don’t like me wishing you a “Merry Christmas,” I’ll say, “Excuse my joy.” You may cringe that I celebrate the birth of Jesus, but just tolerate it.

I cannot be concerned that “Merry Christmas” offends you. If I’m not careful, the day will come when saying I’m a Christian will offend you.

I’m offended that you’re offended. How about that?

When we get to a point that we can no longer take part in a tradition we hold dear, we have no choice; we either defend that tradition or we give it up to those who say NO. That’s it . . . period. So, which will it be?

I’m not giving up my “Merry Christmas” joy to anyone. If I know of someone that celebrates another holiday during this time of year, I will be glad to wish them whatever holiday they want. Just tell me what it is and I’ll shout it to the world and wish you a grand celebration.

Just give me Christmas. To you merchants: Stop being so hypocritical and “filling your tills” on the back of Jesus! Who do you think is the symbol of giving at this time of year? It was the wise men bringing gifts to the newborn Christ-child.

You want your coffers full, but have ordered your employees to take down all the Merry Christmas signs. If that’s the case, I’ll buy gifts at a place that understands my joy.

If you’re worried about offending someone, you just did. The most recent Newsweek survey shows that 82% of Americans believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So, in trying not to offend a few, you’ve offended many.

It’s okay to jump into the “Merry Christmas” spirit when it fills your cash register, but let’s call it something else . . . and don’t stop giving . . . and don’t stop buying. . . we’ll just change the name and you’ll never know the difference.

I know the difference and I’m feeling it greatly. It’s hard not to be aware that townships across our country have actually banned the singing of Christmas carols because it might offend someone. And it’s not just the religious songs; it’s the secular ones too. No more “Jingle Bells” or “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” because they’re associated with Christmas. Boy, aren’t we getting sensitive?

If we’re not celebrating Christmas for the hope it gives with the birth of our Savior . . . there is no hope!

I noticed a few years ago that we changed the name of Abraham Lincoln’s and George Washington’s birthday so as to be all inclusive regarding the Presidents. Hark, if we should recognize anyone as exceptional. Now it’s called Presidents’ Day.

Well, if we’re going to be so all inclusive, next month I’ll have to refer to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as Civil Rights Leaders’ Day. We don’t want to exclude great Americans like Rosa Parks or Cesar Chavez, do we? And to think that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton might be left out.

We might need to change Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents’ Day to All Parents’ Day. Just lump them all together.

It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? So what’s the difference?

My freedom to celebrate Christmas in the tradition of the Christian religion is as much my right as it is your right to be offended by it. So what are we going to do? Did anyone hear me . . . what are we going to do?

Do we defend a person’s right to go forward with a time tested tradition (how about 2000 years?), or do we defend a person’s right to end it all because they’re offended? As long as we live in this great land and have the freedom to express ourselves and what we believe in, we will always offend someone.

If we try to make everything right for everyone, we won’t have anything for anyone.

May you always have Christmas in your heart!

Barring Jesus

The Public Library in Memphis, Tennessee has banned Jesus and the nativity scene from its premises. I cannot belive that. I’ll bet they let Satan in Huh?

Here is the story and link:

UPDATE : Saturday/ December 10, 2005

The Mayor of Memphis has let the nativity scene come back into the library due to overwhelming opposition of his stance on the issue. It does pay off to protest!

Nothing But the Blood

This is an email I want to share with you. Please share it with others:

( Author Unknown )

THE BLOOD

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at
her heart. She responded to God’s call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and
Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and
prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a
faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the
eye and heart of the pastor’s son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor’s son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.
As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor’s son stood to speak.

He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: “My fiancee’s past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?” The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
Psalm 55:23 My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this to four people you want to be blessed and a copy
back to me. This prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let’s continue to pray for one another.

Birthday

Here is an email that I received from a friend. Please tell others about it and pass it on:

Subject: Did You Remember My Birthday?

Remember My Birthday????!!!!!!

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don’t know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates.  The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn’t invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn’t remember to send me an invitation.
The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face......… and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn’t surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me.  Since I was not invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a great time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho!  He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying : “Santa Claus, Santa Claus”… as if the party were in his honor !

At 12 midnight all the people began to hug each other ; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and .… do you know .… no one hugged me.
Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation.  When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one ? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all you heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn’t invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.

I’m still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don’t answer the invitation, will be left outside.
Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom you care for…

I’ll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year…

See you soon .… I love you !

-Jesus-
