I lost my father right after the new year, he suffered a stroke and then passed away less than 2 weeks later. This threw my world into a bit of a spin, and to add to it illness and deaths in the church i serve and my own son being hospitalized with flu symptoms...this blog has been the least of my worries. But after watching the administration of President B.O. continue to make a mockery of the White House and this Congress trample upon the Constitution, i think it is time to get going again.
I was more than willing to give this President and his cronies in Congress ever benefit of the doubt, and it only gives me more doubts. Between the tax cheats being nominated for cabinet posts and Barney Frank and company ripping the 1st and 14th Amendments out of the law of the land...i can no longer be silent. Beginning to day i will begin posting once again, many of these posts have also been posted on Facebook, but will get reposted here also.
For the time being i will remain here on Blogger, but will consider moving to another service, like Wordpress, in the future.
God bless America, and thank God for free speech!

Time Person of the Year
Well, it is official. Time Magazine has named Barack Hussein Obama their "Person of the Year" for 2008...or as i refer to it, a typical cover story for this pseudo-news rag.
Of course my math may be wrong, but i do believe that Barack Hussein Obama's face has gracefully graced the cover of one of his favorite PR publications at least 13 times as the focal point, and probably also was one of a collection of faces featured at least another 6 times in the last year. Every one of these covers presenting him as nothing short of incredible, of course; while the likes of John McCain or Sarah Palin were presented as the evil, scum of the earth politicos that those who practice yellow journalism make them out to be.
Time Magazine is just another proof of what Sean Hannity refers to the death of journalism in 2008. With more and more print publications going broke, we can only hope Time's time will come also.

Follow the leader
The basis of Marxist/Socialist theory is "FROM each according to his ability, to each according to his need"...or as Obama puts it, "spreading the wealth...is a good thing"

Obama and Ayers connection
The following is the "End of Day" report email from Gary Bauer and his Campaign For Working Families. Even though the lame stream media seems to want to sweep this under the rug along with the Obama campaign, i think it needs to be proclaimed loudly so that people can see who may have influence on a "President Obama".
Obama & Ayers
The McCain campaign released a new web ad today that targets Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers. The Obama campaign and the leftwing media are trying to convince you that this association is just a “distraction” from the serious issues. I believe this relationship – much more than a mere association – is a serious issue because it tells us a lot about who Barack Obama is, what he believes and the values and ideas that will influence how he governs as president if he is elected in 26 days.
Who Are The Weathermen?
To understand this controversy and William Ayers, you first need to know about the Weather Underground. The group formed in the 1960s after splintering with the radical leftwing organization Students for a Democratic Society. According to a recent Time Magazine report, “While SDS promoted nonviolent protests, the Weathermen aligned themselves with violent groups like the Black Panthers.” As Time noted, the founder of the Weathermen wrote, “There is no example of a peaceful road to fundamental social change.”
Throughout the early 1970s, the Weather Underground claimed responsibility for a series of bombings against government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and the State Department. As a result of their terrorist activities, the FBI launched a massive manhunt that drove many Weather Underground members into hiding.
How Was William Ayers Involved?
William Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground. In 1969, the Weathermen launched the “Days of Rage” in Chicago, in which a mob ran through several blocks of an affluent neighborhood attacking cars, homes, police officers and businesses. More than two dozen police officers were injured, six Weathermen were shot, and nearly 70 protesters were arrested.
In 1970, the Weatherman bombed the home of a New York judge who was presiding over the trial of a group of Black Panthers. That same year, a letter was sent to the Associated Press, signed by Bernardine Dohrn, promising more bombings. Dohrn was placed on the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted List” for her terrorist activities. While on the run from the authorities, Dorhn and Ayers married and spent years in hiding.
In 1980, Ayers and Dorhn, now with two children, came out of hiding and turned themselves in. Most of the charges against them had already been dropped because of what a court found to be unconstitutional surveillance. Dorhn, however, was sentenced to three years probation and fined.
Unbelievably, Ayers and Dorhn found a refuge in academia. William Ayers is a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, while Dorhn, formerly on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list, is an associate professor of law at Northwestern University.
What is the Ayers-Obama connection?
In debates and interviews, Obama has tried to dismiss his connection to William Ayers by saying that he is just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” But, in 1995 Obama launched his political career with a fundraiser at William Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s home.
That same year, Ayers founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and Barack Obama was chosen to be the foundation’s first board chairman. Ayers and Obama served together on the board of the Woods Fund from 1999-2002. They regularly appeared together on academic panel discussions.
Unrepentant
Clearly, Ayers is more than just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” In an interview this week with ABC’s Charlie Gibson, Obama said of Ayers, “This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois…” So we are left to assume that at some point, Ayers had a “road to Damascus conversion,” repudiated his terrorist past and radical ways, and has spent the rest of life doing good works.
The only problem with that story is that Ayers has never repudiated his past and seems to be proud of it. In September of 2001, Ayers was interviewed by the New York Times after he published his memoirs about his activities in the Weather Underground. When asked if he regretted his actions, Ayers offered this disgusting retort: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Obama and Ayers obviously worked together because they shared common values and beliefs, and as late as 2001 – when Obama was not eight years old, but 40 years old – Ayers remained unrepentant about his past.
It would be bad enough if Ayers were the only leftwing, fringe extremist in Obama’s background, but he is not. And the pattern of disturbing associations – what it says about the ideology and judgment Obama would take with him into the Oval Office – is a critical issue in this campaign.
Senator McCain and Governor Palin are right to bring it up, and the American people should seriously consider the Obama-Ayers relationship before they vote. You can view McCain campaign’s Ayers ad online at www.johnmccain.com.

Supporting those who protect us
A little long but worth watching.
And yes, Michelle Obama did ask about her little brochure, "Isn't it pretty?".
I'm more sure today of my vote than ever before.

From last night's debate
For the most part it was less than stellar with both candidates stretching the truth when necessary...most experts seeing it stretched way more to the left, as would be expected. But i think the high light for me was the following exchange took place between Tom Brokaw and the Jr. Senator from IL:
Tom Brokaw: “I’m just hired help here.”
Obama: “You’re doing a good job, Tom.”
Could this be the first admittance of the lame stream media being in the tank for Obama? Of course, this is not counting Chris Matthews having chills going up and down his leg as his messiah speaks and nearly anything coming out of the mouth of Keith Olbermann.

Oops, i did it again
Not exactly Britney, but it looks like Barack Hussein Obama is singing her song. Surprisingly to me though, this video came from BSNBC, which appears to be 95% in the tank for Obama...with the exception of Joe Scarborough, who brought this up.
A lot of people, including myself, have a LOT of doubts about Obama's qualifications for the White House and this gives us yet another reason to be very worried about a "President Obama". Do we really want a person who can't correctly make a vote in the legislature have his finger on the nuke button? Yeah...not so much.

The Real Face of Abortion
Gianna Jessen is a tremendous and a very courageous young lady who is also a survivor of a botched abortion. She should be dead, but God in His infinite grace and mercy has allowed this young lady to share her testimony of God's goodness and truth. She is truly the face of abortion, and the face that those who feel unborn children are nothing more than a "choice" and the "freedom of privacy" would like to keep hidden.
I was able to hear her share her story last year as well as use the beautiful singing voice that God has blessed her with in a worship service at First Baptist Church of Texarkana and i was blown away. I do hope this television ad does get plenty of air time between now and election day.

First of all, it is evident there aren't many who spend part of their time in Washington DC who do not have some dirt on their hands from this; which is why i showed the list as far as Sen. John McCain. Obviously he has accepted far less in 20 years than others on this list. Once again, this is just a partial list with a lot more names to add.
But you will also notice that the top 3 are from that democrat party demanding "change"...looks like they prefer cash though. Even more interesting ot me thoughb is #2 on the list though. Sen. Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL) ranked #2 on a list showing 20 years of contributions, yet he has only been in the US Senate for 4 years. Interesting...

Total $4,844,572 $3,017,797 $1,826,775
Includes contributions from PACs and individuals. 2008 cycle totals based on data released electronically by the Federal Election Commission on Sept. 2, 2008.
First of all, it is evident there aren't many who spend part of their time in Washington DC who do not have some dirt on their hands from this; which is why i showed the list as far as Sen. John McCain. Obviously he has accepted far less in 20 years than others on this list. Once again, this is just a partial list with a lot more names to add.
But you will also notice that the top 3 are from that democrat party demanding "change"...looks like they prefer cash though. Even more interesting ot me thoughb is #2 on the list though. Sen. Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL) ranked #2 on a list showing 20 years of contributions, yet he has only been in the US Senate for 4 years. Interesting...
Who is the partisan?
The Barack Hussein Obama campaign has gone above and beyond in recent days in their desperate attempt to portray Sen. John McCain as being nothing more than the rank and file Republican that would only tow the party line. Of course in doing this they have made their "messiah" out to be the non-partisan answer to our country's "ills" as they would define them. It would be interesting to note this article from The Washington Times:
"Whether looking at bills they have led on or bills they have signed onto, Mr. McCain has reached across the aisle far more frequently and with more members than Mr. Obama since the latter came to the Senate in 2005."
Now, i will give Obama a break here...in his short time in the US Senate, he has spent the vast majority of it either running for President or simply not voting, so it really is hard to really see where he stands on issues of bi-partisanship. But then again, that screams out that this guy has no business trying to get into the Oval Office if he takes no responsibility in his current job.
Regardless though, in the last 3 years a look at the voting record would show that Sen. John McCain has been a lot more likely to "reach across the aisle" with Democrats making up 55% of his political partnerships over the last Congresses and the Junior Senator from Illinois having Republican co-sponsorship on only 13% of his bills presented for a vote. Of course those Obama bipartisan bills, according to this article, deal with vital public policy matters like issuing a stamp in honor of Rosa Parks. I guess that is the "Change we can believe in" is actually extra change for a stamp.
The Washington Times breaks it down further by adding, "...Since 2005, Mr. McCain has led as chief sponsor of 82 bills, on which he had 120 Democratic co-sponsors out of 220 total, for an average of 55 percent. He worked with Democrats on 50 of his bills, and of those, 37 times Democrats outnumber Republicans as co-sponsors." The guy wasn't called a "Maverick" for nothing; and has even been accused of walking across the aisle more often than simply reaching across it. Now we are seeing why.
Then there is B. Hussein Obama. The Washington Times reports that he, "...sponsored 120 bills, of which Republicans co-sponsored just 26, and on only five bills did Republicans outnumber Democrats. Mr. Obama gained 522 total Democratic co-sponsors but only 75 Republicans, for an average of 13 percent of his co-sponsors."
This is supposed to be the answer to the divisiveness in our nation's political arena...moving way to the left? That may be right for San Francisco, but it is not right for America.

Was Jesus a community organizer?
Was Jesus a community organizer?
In recent weeks I have heard at least 3 people, which includes Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Former Algore campaign chair Donna Brazile, and pseudo actress/political agitator Susan Sarandon make the statement that “Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.” By this statement they are suggesting at least one of three things, if not all:
1. The role of Jesus being demeaned down to that of a local political activist,
2. Painting Gov. Sarah Palin as nothing more than an uncaring politician who would go as far as killing the Messiah, or…
3. Elevating Barack Obama to the level of the Savior
My first question is what is a community organizer. According to Wikipedia a community organizer is someone who does the work of bringing people who live in close proximity to each other “together to act in their common self-interest. Community organizers act as area-wide coordinators of programs for different agencies in an attempt to meet community needs for various services.” While I can see that this is a valuable tool in inner cities, small towns, or where ever people feel like the government has forgotten about them…to suggest that Jesus was nothing more than a community organizer is nothing short of heresy. Even more so when you consider that modern community organizing is the brain child of Saul Alinsky, the author of the book Rules for Radicals that he dedicated to Lucifer, who he called the “very first radical”
When I look at Scripture and search out the reason Jesus came, I seem to overlook this new idea of Jesus being a community organizer.
• In Luke 19:10 Jesus says, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (NASB)
• In 1 Peter 2:24 the Apostle writes about Jesus, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”
• And in 2 Corinthian 5:21 the Apostle Paul said of Jesus, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”
Did Jesus come to pay the price for the sins of sinful man, or did He come to organize a few members of society who political activists felt were overlooked? To lessen the mission of Christ to that of a political activist is not Biblical, wrong and teetering, if not crossing the line on heresy.
Let’s consider a little more of what Scripture says about Jesus…
• He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the final Amen
• He is the Ancient of Days, the Author of Life and the Author of Salvation
• He is the Bread of Life
• He is the Chief Cornerstone, Christ our Creator, Our Deliverer
• Our Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace
• He is God
• He is the Good Shepherd and the Great Shepherd
• He is the Great High Priest
• He is the Holy One, the Hope of Glory
• He is the Image of the Invisible God, the Great I Am
• He is the Judge of the living and the dead
• He is King of kings and Lord of lords, Majestic and Mighty
• And NO ONE COMPARES TO HIM!
• The Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and full of truth
• He is the Power of God
• He is the Resurrection and the Life
• He is the Supreme Sacrifice
• He is the Way, the Truth and the Life
And He cannot be reduced to a political activist seeking a “revolution” at the local government level!
I realize when it is all said and done this is nothing more than a political stunt to glorify one candidate and to put down another…but I refuse to have it done in the name of my Lord and Savior. Jesus is the one who paid the price for my sins, as well as those who are demeaning His name and His mission.
Was Jesus a community organizer? The Scripture gives us a very clear and a very certain NO!
But Jesus is the one who came and lived the life we could never live (sinless) and died the death we deserved to die (for our sins) so that by grace through faith alone we can be saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Do it again, Lord
Today marks the 7th year since the horrific attack on our great country by Muslim extremists who are dead set on destroying us and our way of life. Driven by hate they flew 2 planes into the World Trade Center Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon and then a 4th plane was forced down into a field in PA, no doubt headed for another target of great importance. The heroism we saw on that day and in the following days was awe inspiring. I still get chills when i remember all of our congressional leaders, both parties, singing "God bless America" on the steps of the US Capital...united, as Americans. Never before, and i pray that never again, have we been suckered punched in such a way by our enemies. It brought out the best in our country, and sadly in some ways, 7 years later we are once again seeing the worst at times as conspiracy theorists try to blame our own country for this.
I am thankful that we have not been attacked and have remained safe in spite of additional threats of terrorism over the last 7 years. I'm also thankful that Sen. John McCain used better judgement and requested that both he and Sen. Barack Obama refrain from politicking today so that the focus can be where it needs to be...the victims and the heroes of 9/11.
The following is a prayer written by Pastor Max Lucado just days after the 9/11 attacks, i thought i would share it since it speaks as loudly today as it did 7 short years ago.
We’re still hoping we’ll wake up. We’re still hoping we’ll open a sleepy eye and think, “What a horrible dream.”
But we won’t, will we, Father? What we saw was not a dream. Planes did gouge towers. Flames did consume our fortress. People did perish. It was no dream and, dear Father, we are sad.
There is a ballet dancer who will no longer dance and a doctor who will no longer heal. A church has lost her priest, a classroom is minus a teacher. Cora ran a food pantry. Paige was a counselor and Dana, dearest Father, Dana was only three years old. (Who held her in those final moments?)
We are sad, Father. For as the innocent are buried, our innocence is buried as well. We thought we were safe. Perhaps we should have known better. But we didn’t.
And so we come to you. We don’t ask you for help; we beg you for it. We don’t request it; we implore it. We know what you can do. We’ve read the accounts. We’ve pondered the stories and now we plead, “Do it again, Lord. Do it again.”
Remember Joseph? You rescued him from the pit. You can do the same for us. Do it again, Lord.
Remember the Hebrews in Egypt? You protected their children from the angel of death. We have children too, Lord. Do it again.
And Sarah? Remember her prayers? You heard them. Joshua? Remember his fears? You inspired him. The women at the tomb? You resurrected their hope. The doubts of Thomas? You took them away. Do it again, Lord. Do it again.
You changed Daniel from a captive into a king’s counselor. You took Peter the fisherman and made him Peter an apostle. Because of you, David went from leading sheep to leading armies. Do it again, Lord, for we need counselors today, Lord. We need apostles. We need leaders. Do it again, dear Lord.
Most of all, do again what you did at Calvary. What we saw here last Tuesday, you saw there that Friday. Innocence slaughtered. Goodness murdered. Mothers weeping. Evil dancing. Just as the smoke eclipsed our morning, so the darkness fell on your Son. Just as our towers were shattered, the very Tower of Eternity was pierced.
And by dusk, heaven’s sweetest song was silent, buried behind a rock.
But you did not waver, O Lord. You did not waver. After three days in a dark hole, you rolled the rock and rumbled the earth and turned the darkest Friday into the brightest Sunday. Do it again, Lord. Grant us a September Easter.
We thank you, dear Father, for these hours of unity. Christians are praying with Jews. Republicans are standing with Democrats. Skin colors have been covered by the ash of burning buildings. We thank you for these hours of unity.
And we thank you for these hours of prayer. The Enemy sought to bring us to our knees and succeeded. He had no idea, however, that we would kneel before you. And he has no idea what you can do.
Let your mercy be upon our President, Vice President, and their families. Grant to those who lead us wisdom beyond their years and experience. Have mercy upon the souls who have departed and the wounded who remain. Give us grace that we might forgive and faith that we might believe.
And look kindly upon your church. For two thousand years you’ve used her to heal a hurting world.
Do it again, Lord. Do it again.
Through Christ, Amen.

They think its funny
For the last 3 years i have been disgusted by the way the democrats have used Katrina as a political football trying to take advantage of this tragedy for their gain...especially since i was in Southeastern Louisiana during the storm and witnessed the failure of state and local leaders as well as the lack of personal responsibility. I was once again sickened this past week during the dem's coronation of their messiah Barack Hussein Obama when i heard Katrina referenced time and again; but the following video takes the cake:
I'm glad Don Fowler, former National Chairman of the DNC, found a category 5 hurricane heading straight for the Louisiana coast to be funny and worth joking about. Sadly this is probably the mindset of the vast majority of those who polluted the Pepsi Center and called for "change".
Sickening at worst, classless at best.

BHO says No-No
Barack Hussein Obama is grasping at straws this week and doing everything within his power...as well as in the power of his handlers (meaning those who picked Biden for his VP) to seem "mainstream". The last thing the junior Senator from Illinois and former community organizer wants people to know is just how far left he truly is and how out of touch he is with the average American due to his real political leanings. As a result the Obama camp is fighting to keep the following ad linking him to unrepentant terrorist William Ayers from airing:
Just what we need in the White House...someone who gets his advice and political cues from terrorists!

From Hugh Hewitt
A commentary on the Obama/Biden ticket from radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt
"[Barack] Obama represents the merger of two of the worst aspects of Democratic politics---'60s radicalism and corrupt Chicago machine politics. With the addition of Slow Joe Biden to the ticket, Obama has added to his unsteady candidacy an epic amount of Beltway cluelessness and arrogance unsupported by anything except frequent flier miles and Delaware's love for a chuckle-headed fellow with a big smile... I was worried that the Dems had pointed out to Obama that his serial gaffing had brought the campaign close to a break point and that he needed Hillary. I was worried he'd actually go find Anthony Zinni or Sam Nunn or someone of accomplishment and purposefulness in foreign affairs. [Jim] Webb would have been hell on the stump. [Tim] Kaine or [Evan] Bayh would have put different states into play. [Kathleen]Sebelius was a wild card. But Biden?... Put Biden's obvious flaws aside and ask yourself how in the world Obama decided to go with Biden, and you'll quickly realize that the Democratic nominee must have been impressed with Biden on the long campaign trail of 2007 and 2008---even though voters weren't and even though Biden has no accomplishments of note after 36 years in the Senate.
Biden talked a great game and dropped some very interesting place names---and this impressed Obama. Talking the talk has been the key to Obama's success, and in Slow Joe he found an older, far better traveled but equally prolix gas bag... For Obama, it is all about politics and words, elections and poses. Slow Joe is the perfect running mate on a perfect ticket for a party betting on wind to solve the energy crisis."

Vetting of a VP
A little internet research and it is amazing what you can find. It would appear someone on liberal messiah Barack Hussein Obama slipped up and allowed the list of questions Caroline Kennedy used in vetting potential VP candidates. As you will see, they are thorough, in depth and hit the heart of democrat policies.
A. What’s the longest time you have ever been able to stare directly into the sun?
B. Which is more comfortable for you, bowing or kneeling?
C. Do you have any firmly held convictions?
D. If you answered ‘Yes’ to question #3: Are you willing to forsake them for the honor of serving with President Obama?
E. Which sounds like a better first line in a speech?
*My fellow Americans…
*People of the World…
F. If a crying baby falls to the floor of an abortion clinic, but no law is there to protect it, does it make a sound?
G. Choose the correct ending to this sentence: “I want to be vice president to…
*fix America’s deep flaws, to atone for the sins of her past, and to help set a course away from our shameful history.”

The Liberal Messiah has Chosen...
It would appear that Osama Hussein Obama, the designated Messiah of the left has chosen a winner in the Lefty Veep-stakes and the winner (or loser) appears to be Joe Biden (D-DE), the 6 term Senator who has ran for and lost the Democrat presidential nomination on 3 different occasions.
I think this is going to be way too easy and way too much fun, especially considering some of the idiotic (borderline racist) comments Biden has made (or perhaps he just plagiarized them), and this dialogue from one of the hundred or so democrat debates from the primary season, this one hosted by ABC's De-Face The Nation host George Stephanopoulos:
STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, “Is he ready?” You said, “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the- job-training.”
BIDEN: I think that — I stand by the statement.
One more thing, if the message is "Change" why is he choosing someone who has been part of the problem in Washington for the last 30+ years????
