Farewell To America.

 I have often heard it said, politics will always be politics and that will never change. I have friends who say to me why worry about politics? There is nothing you can really do and politicians,  are only going to vote in a manner that best assures there chances for reelection. I will admit, I can understand why many would feel this way. I look around and see a Justice Department that has departed from anything that even resembles justice. One can only wonder if the Terry family, will ever really know what led to the death of their son, a man whose only crime was that he dared to do his duty and he was murdered for it and the government is now actively seeking to bury the truth about Fast and Furious,  with Brian Terry. I think of the Supreme Court, who I feel has made a supreme mistake in judgement. Obama's health care law will raise taxes, increase  the nations unemployment, raise health insurance premiums and punish any American by imposing a tax on them  if they decide not to purchase health care.One thing is certain, consevatives now realize they can't count on any particular outcome  when a case is heard by the Supreme Court. President Bush, selected  Cheif Justice John Roberts, to seve on the Supreme Court, because  he thought Judge Roberts,  would rule as a conservative, it seems however that Justice Roberts, is more concerned with how the Supreme Court,  is percieved by those in goverment I guess the will of the people is at best a secondary concern.
  Two hundred and thirty six years ago we started an American revolution because of unfair taxzation Americans,  did not want taxzation without representation. The American people,  will now have to begin another American,  revolution and it should begin in the voting booth this November. Americans,  must now make a choice,  if most Americans,  choose to reelect Obama, then this will mean they choose for things to stay as they are and Obama, will continue to rule as a king as it is now Obama,  only considers the Supreme Court,  or Congress,  only when they help to further his personal agenda or the American people, can choose to elect Mitt Romney,  and work to repeal Obama's healthcare law and restore freedom and personal liberty for the nation. I very fimly believe that if President Obama, is reelected the American people,  can bid  farewell to America because this nation will no longer be in practice at least the free republic we have known for the past 236 years. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.

Repeal Or Ruin.

  The Supreme Court,  as ruled on Obama's health care law. I must admit, there is often a feeling of despair that I feel as an American. I felt this same feeling in 1973 when the Supreme Court, made there ruling on Row v Wade and abortion became a legal procedure in this country. Some have expressed to me that since that ruling in 1973 America's fate was already sealed. I will confess, I do wonder if God,  has decided he is finished with America, as a nation and he has turned America over to her own devices. America, has had no need for God,  for some time now, so one wonders why should God,  bless America?
  Now, it seems the Supreme Court,  has spoken, but the American people,  haven't not yet, that's what an election is for and th American people are faced with a very clear choice President Obama,  and choose higher taxes that will come along with the health care law or elect Mitt Romney, and  work to keep consevatives, in the House and Senate and real Obama's health care law. The truth is, the American people, will have the final word on the economic path America,  will take repeal Obama's healthcare law or risk economic ruin for this nation. The only question now is, what choice will the American people make? As always my friends, these thoughts remain just some words, to think on.

Country At A Crossroads.

  In the next few days, the nation's Supreme Court will make what is being called by many in the media a land mark decision. Some, have suggested that the out come on the Presidents health care law will be one of the most important decisions the Supreme Court has made since  Roe V Wade in 1973. There is no doubt that both political parties will try to spin what ever the final decision is on health care to their best political advantage. I sometimes  wonder if truth or right and wrong even matter any more since right or wrong is usually determined by which of the the nation's political parties has the greatest influence and truth is determined by that which is the most convenient at the moment. America,  is at a crossroads, if the Supreme Court decides that the President's health care law to be constitutional the government will gain an even tighter hold  on every Americans right to have individual freedom. America, is in danger of becoming like the nations of Europe. Socialism, has failed in Europe and it will fail here too. The Supreme Court will have the last word on government ran health care. America however is still at a crossroads and her final destiny will be determined by a judge much higher than any judge on the Supreme Court. America seems willing to embrace secularism and God,  seems to have no place in our nation's government in our nation's schools and even in many of our nation's churches. I pray God, has not already weighed America, in the balance for I am afraid America, will be found wanting but many have suggested the end of America as a nation has already been determined that they can already see the hand writing on the wall indeed some feel that America's best days as a nation, have already come and gone. Psalms 50 : 22 serves as a warning when a nation chooses to for get God,  the words of God's warning are chilling, they are as follows; "Now consider this, ye that forgot God. Lest I tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver." I pray America, will again choose to retain God in their knowledge because nothing can save America, if God decides her days as a nation are done.

Has America, Progressed beyond The Need For God?

  Someone has said,  that if God, seems far away, guess who moved. I know as a Christian, when I feel that the influence of God's presence  is not evident in my life more often than not it is I that have moved away from God, and not the other way around. I have noticed that many in America, today, particularly those who consider themselves liberal progressives seem to feel that the idea of God,  in a modern society is a bit out dated. I suppose those who view life from a liberal point of view feel that human reason has helped American society progress and so many modern and medical advancements have been made that America, as a nation is beyond the need for God. I have even heard many liberals say that the Bible,  as well as the nation's  constitution,  is out of date and the principals and values found in the Bible,  and the constitution,  do not reflect the modern world that men of reason live in today. Liberals seem to feel that the nation's founding fathers looked to the Bible and Christianity,  because they were naive and therefore misguided. I suppose most liberals,  would fall in line with the philosophy of Karl Marx, an atheists, who said that religion, was the opiate of the masses.I must say however,  I have never encountered an atheist in a fox hole and I noticed many in America,  found a great need for God's comfort and guidance following the tragedy of nine eleven. Many churches were full for about six months and then I guess human reason and liberal progressive thinking and modern order was restored and God,  was once again dismissed from public thought and  quietly tucked away  until such time as the American masses need him in American society again.
  I would remind the liberal progressives in this country that they may have changed their mind concerning the traditional Christian,  values that built this country but God,  has not changed his! The Bible says in Malachi 3:6 "For  I am the Lord, I change not."
  I recall my American History while America,  was still trying to shape a new government and thus form a more perfect union on July 28, 1787 at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia, Ben Franklin, quieted the delegates who had gathered there to ask if they might pray and ask God;s guidance as they  endeavoured to shape the new nation's government. Ben Franklin,  said the following words, " Gentleman, if a sparrow cannot fail without God's notice, is it probable an empire can rise without his aid?" Psalms 127:1 says, except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I believe Franklin felt that if America was to be established and prosper as a nation it was going to require divine guidance from God. The  American people need to remember the God,  of our fathers. I am convinced God,  has been speaking to America for along time now. He speaks, through an economy that is at times mere moments from total national and global collapse. He speaks through the other nations, as I write these words, at this moment Iran Israel, Syria, Egypt Libya, Afghanistan Iraq not to mention North Korea, are all on the verge and almost eager to begin what would  most certainly be World War III. Europe including England, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy seems mere moments from a full economic meltdown. America, struggles under the weight of  a national debt of nearly 16 trillion dollars, the housing market is a mess,  personal wealth has declined. The nation is rocked by fires that even now are burning out of control and the hurricane season as just begun. government, seeks to take more and more of American liberty away, in favor of government rule.  Children, have no respect for their elders, and seem to cause more and more chaos in our public schools.Many Christians,  in our churches today,  have abandoned the preaching of the gospel and speak only of tolerance and self awareness. Yes, I believe God,  is speaking to America, the question is, Are  Americans, listening. I would remind the American people, if God, seems far away, guess who moved. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words,  to think on.

Keeping The Faith.

  I have often heard the phase keep the faith. Usually, when one says, keep the faith what they mean is keep believing in a cause or a goal to this phase is used to express an unwavering  determination to never give up believing that what ever is being  strived  for will be accomplished. These words are familiar to Christians as well. II Timothy 4:7 Paul says " I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course I have kept the faith." When Paul,  wrote these words he was in prison in Rome and he was waiting for the day of his execution that had been ordered by Cesar. As I pondered these words I wondered, what was the faith that Paul kept and eventually died for? The faith that Paul kept  was his belief that Jesus, was the Christ the Son of God, whose perfect life without sin made him the perfect sacrifice for the remission of sin and the redemption of man kind. Yes,  this is what Paul had experienced on the road to Damascus. This is what Paul,  believed and preached to others. Paul kept the faith and he and the others leaders in the early church spread the Gospel of Christ to all of the known world at that time.
  I then turned my thoughts to this nation, America, was founded on faith.The Bible,  was the first school book. I remember seeing these words said by a teacher to young children learning the alphabet "A is for Adam, by Adam's fall, we sinned all." the Ten Commandments,  still hang in our nation's Supreme Court, and are the foundation of our nations laws, I then wondered , has America, kept the faith?
  According to Bill O' Reilly,  on the FOX program the O' Reilly Factor 31 percent of the people who are under thirty are not even sure there is a God. This is not that surprising when one considers the fact that the liberal progressive movement in this country has been gaining strength in this country over the last forty years. Think about it, You can't pray in school you can't even mention God,  on school property. Many of today's children only hear God's name when it is taken in vain in many of the TV programs they watch or  in much of the music they listen to. out side of a cuss  word, many kids today don't know who God,  is or who Jesus Christ,  is and many of or nation's youth don't even care! I fear there has been a steady deterioration  of the faith in America, .and I have to say some of the fault lies with too many  Christians, in the name of tolerance have remained too silent for too long I hope and pray it's not too late to change this condition in our nation
  I found these words in a sermon describing how faith can fade from one generation to another over time and I must say they certainly apply to America today see if you agree. To our forefathers faith, was an experience. To our fathers faith, was an inheritance. To many of us today faith, is a convenience. To our children faith is a nuisance. I fear many have no faith in God  at all how can we expect the next generation to keep the faith when many of today's youth have no concept of what in God,  is? I pray Christians,  will speak up and let the light of the Gospel of Christ,  shine and Christians,  had better speak up  soon! I believe the future of America,  as a nation is at stake. You know many in this nation often sing or close a speech with God,  bless America, sometimes,  when I consider how much God has been either forgotten or ignored in this county today, I wonder why should he bless America? As always my friends these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

A House Of Cards.

  Wow! what a difference four years can make. Have you taken a good look at the Obama Presidency  recently? In 2008 Obama,  ran on  platform of hope and change and most of the media and the press just loved him, now four years later Obama's new platform  is I sure hope things will change and soon. No matter what subject you want to discuss regarding President Obama right now, it seems he has problems. First, there is the economy, America has been downgraded and now five major banks have been down graded as well good luck getting a loan for anything for a while. Secondly, the unions once firmly committed to Obama, are not so thrilled with him now Governor Scott Walkers triumph over the union funded recall attempt has made the state of Wisconsin, a possible loss for Obama,  in  November's up coming election. Thirdly,   The growing scandal regarding the truth about what really went on behind the scenes in operation Fast and Furious has the potential to destroy Attorney General Holder's political career and such a blow would most certainly be a major embarrassment for the Obama Presidency. Fourthly, Europe remains on the verge of economic free fall and the stock market remains a roller coaster of economic uncertainty. fifthly, the nation's unemployment rate remains unchanged and there are signs  that it may even be about to go up and that's the kind of change Obama doesn't need! A sixth, problem Obama, has is  his health care bill once considered to be the greatest accomplishment of his administration is now in danger of being thrown out by the Supreme Court. A seventh problem for the President is the steady decline in his personal likabiity even many in his own party don't want to be associated with him and some among the Deocrats are not even planning to attend the Democratic Covention. Problem number eight for Obama, is the trouble he has with national security leaks from the White House one wonders if any of our  nations allies will want to ever trust our government with  secrets regarding national security again. Problem number nine for Obama is  numerous green job failures Solendra, and the Chevy Volt come to mind regarding the Chevy Volt it seems the car provides just enough of an electric  charge to set the car on fire! Finally, there is problem number ten Obama's campaign is running short on money in the month of May,  he spent more money than he brought in . He must have got his campaign confused with the nation's national debt! Yes sir, it must be real fun to be the President right now!
  The Truth is,  Obama's policies regarding the nations economy have not worked and his policies have placed America's future as a nation on very shaky ground. The American people are now realizing that what the thought was a real chance for hope and change was nothing more then a house of cards built on false promises that had no real foundation. The President, decided to gamble with the American peoples money and now the American  people are about to call in the bet. The President, speaks of giving everyone a fair deal and then deals off the bottom of the deck by shoving his health care bill through Congress,  with out even asking the American people what they thought about it. The President,  considers Hollywood liberals and various minorities to be his reelection  ace in the hole so he supports gay marriage and implements  his new policy dealing with second generation undocumented immigrants by executive fiat with out even consulting  Congress. The President,  is not a king, but he certainly is being a royal pain to deal with. The President complains that Congress,  always stacks the deck against him but it's not as though he's ever going to give the Republicans a fair deal. The President, it seems is unable to play the cards right no President gets to choose the cards they are delt but a Great President will deal with it instead of looking like a Joker,  not playing with a full deck! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Where Has All The Honor Gone?

  My daughter, is an honor student,The Christian school that I am blessed to be able to send her to, defines an honor student as  one who excels in all areas of academic learning as well as one who demonstrates a high quality of character in daily conduct. As important as performing well in academics may be, I think the second part of this particular definition is more important. Show me a child's grades and I'll show you what kind of student they are. Show me a students character by their daily conduct and I'll show you most likely, what kind of person they will become.
  Honor,  carries with it the idea,of  the desire and obligation to live by a certain set of principals and beliefs and demonstrate these principals and beliefs both in word and deed.Honor also carries with it the desire to treat  others fairly with dignity and respect. When others,  see that you treat them fairly with dignity and respect you will find that you are considered to be a person who conducts themselves with honor.Isn't that really what is meant by do unto others as you would have them do unto you and love thy neighbor as thy self is all about?
  I consider our President, he talks a lot about treating  everyone fairly, if he is truly believes in this basic principal then I wonder if he and Attorney General Holder, will demonstrate their belief in doing that which is fair by releasing the documents Congress, has been asking for now for the past eighteen months regarding operation Fast and Furious. Brian Terry,  died with honor in the performance of his duty. Now the question is will President Obama, and Attorney General Holder,  demonstrate that they too  are men of honor in the performance of their duties? The Terry family,  deserves nothing less than the governments full cooperation and the full disclosure of the truth regarding operation Fast and Furious. I have often heard Attorney General Holder and President Obama's words concerning operation Fast and Furious,  but it is there deeds that will tell me if they are men of honor. I along with the Terry Family, and the rest of the American,  people are waiting to know the answer to this question, As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
