It is so amazing how predictable Democrats are. Proving Sean Hannity right once more, the so-called ‘hold-outs’ on health care have caved and are voting for the bill. The irony is that neither they nor anyone other than the few who put it together have any idea what is in the bill. Obama does not keep his word. The bill will not be posted, just passed.
Obama uses threats to keep Congress and other democrats in line. Here is a quote attributed to Obama:
“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.
The American people are also keeping score. This score will not be used to threaten individuals and their personal choices, but rather will determine the outcome of the elections in 2010 and 2012.
If the polls are correct, one more year for democrats in Congress and three years for democrats in the White House.
This is an open letter to Senator Yarmuth, D from Kentucky:
Dear Senator Yarmuth,
On Fox News, the night of December 16th you smilingly made a statement that when the stimulus bill was passed, the plans were not to spend the stimulus money right away. That part may be true. Then you said that we should remember that Democrats were not responsible for the “recession that almost crashed the economy.”
I beg to differ. In the election of 2006, the results were as follows:
House Democrats 258 Republicans 177 Independents 0
Senate Democrats 58 Republicans 40 Independents 2
How can you say that Democrats are not responsible? Do I need to include what legislation was passed by Congress since then? Certainly Republicans played a part in the economy, however, there is no way Democrats should be given a pass.
Please do the honorable thing and go back on Fox News and make this correction. It is the right thing to do!
Glenn Beck is so right about most of what he says. What he did on December 14 was priceless.
If you missed Nancy Pelosi and her tears about the Tea Party people inciting riots, then you probably wouldn’t be able to appreciate Beck’s masterpiece.
Another prerequisite for enjoying the Beck broadcast may be that you have attended a Tea Party. Only those who have taken time out of a busy working schedule to attend a party know how absurd Nancy’s rant really was.
Now imagine using Nancy’s dialogue and then switching to a video showing riots by the left in Copenhagen at regular and appropriate intervals and you will have the picture.
Today Glenn asked a question that should concern every American regardless of age, race, gender or political leanings. The question begs an answer and while this isn’t a direct quote the thought is here. ‘What is motivating the democrat leadership in Washington to pass a “bad” health care bill that will ruin many of them politically?’ The majority of the American people are against the bill. Health care is NOT in a crisis that we cannot wait until a decent bill is written, read, discussed and improved. For over 70% of Americans health care is not even an issue. There is a lot of evidence that the crisis is actually a manufactured one, so what is really going on?
I fear we are all beginning to realize what is going on with this administration, but is there any way to change directions? Democrats in congress appear to have decided they do not have to follow the will of the people, but rather follow the will of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. This means they no longer believe in democracy, but are in favor of totalitarianism.
This morning, Jeremy in the Zits comic strip sat on Santa’s lap with only one request – freedom.
Do you remember when Americans most often asked for ‘peace’? We took freedom for granted, did we not?
Americans have concerned themselves with and fought for freedom, but most often our concern has been for people in other lands. We have helped to free the continent of Europe and many nations from tyranny and dictatorships.
Today, we need an evaluation of our American dream and insight into what is happening at home, lest we lose that one thing worth fighting for and for which much American blood has been shed throughout our history.
It is no accident or chance happening that our nation has been blessed with many years of peace at home while enjoying freedom to live without tyranny.
Psalm 33:12 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
During this season as we remember and celebrate the birth of Christ we are comforted that the Angels on high proclaimed:
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13-15
The New International Version translates as follows:
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ”Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:13-14
Jesus words in the passage below, however, serve to remind us that while Christ came to eventually bring complete and everlasting peace, this peace will come with a price.
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.” Matthew 10: 34-36
Christians understand the “sword” of which Jesus spoke was His word:
For the word of God is quick , and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, …Hebrews 4:12
This Christmas season, as every Christmas, reminds us of the one who gave His own life a ransom that we might someday live in peace with no sin and sorrow entering our lives. Until that day, we must understand that peace always comes with a price, as does freedom.
For almost 1/2 of my adult life I have watched as Democrats tax and spend. It seems every generation has to learn about Democrat tactics the hard way. Republicans do far too much spending which results in a big turn out of young voters who (along with those who take government checks and want more) put Democrats in office. The lesson is then passed on to a new generation.
This administration has reached a level far beyond what any group has done before. When you combine unprincipled politicians with a majority in all branches of government we get what is now happening in Congress.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats plan to allow the government’s debt to swell by nearly $2 trillion as part of a bill next week to pay for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The amount pretty much equals the total of a year-end spending spree by lawmakers and is big enough to ensure that Congress doesn’t have to vote again on going further into debt until after the 2010 elections.
Unfortunately, another reason Democrats are sometimes elected in spite of their tax and spend policies is a ground roots movement that often seeks to elect an independent. When the conservative vote is split, Democrats take office. Bill Clinton was one example of this phenomenon.
Hopefully, with our entire system in danger of collasping, the year 2010 will end the present spending spree before the system has collasped.
As my little grandson used to say when he overheard parts of a conversation, “Ask question.”
Here is my question: If the deficit spending during the Bush administration led to a major victory for democrats in 2008, what do democrats think will happen in 2010?
How many have heard that this is happening: Government sponsored abortion being slipped through Congress?
Surely someone will wake up before the government takes over every aspect of our lives and ruins the economy in a way that cannot be corrected. Or is this what they want, the economy ruined and all power in the hands of politicians? Do the members of Congress not have a clue when it comes to understanding the constitution and the American people or are they deliberately sabotaging our country and our economy?
‘President’ Barack Hussein Obama has been sworn in as the 44th president of the US of A.
What do you know about him? How safe does he make you feel? Who do you believe him to be?
This is what we do know. He had little or no experience when he took this job. (Perhaps we should not expect so much). Many people saw him as a savior prior to the election. Also, prior to the election, others compared him to Hitler and to Castro. Some saw, and still believe him to be, a Muslim who hates the USA. Conservative talk show host and sometimes Fox News Network warned that Obama had unsavory friends, that he had no experience and that he has socialist, if not communist leanings. He has never run a paper route and certainly never run a business or government. Groups like ACORN and other PAC groups, along with Howard Dean and what was left of the democrat party either did not care about Obama’s background or his acquaintances. They actually believe that our country needs to be fundamentally changed and felt certain he would make changes.
Obama has worked to bring about change. In eleven months, he has supported a democrat Congress while they have taken over much of the banking industry. He has taken over large corporations and he promises to take over the news industry.
Regardless of who you think Obama to be, here is what I think.
It is my personal belief that Obama wants to be another Hugo Chavez. There are many problems with this, but one might note first and foremost that the USA is NOT Venezuela and that our population is not made up of poor, uneducated, and destitute citizens as was Venezuela. Still, to understand who Barack Obama is, you must understand Hugo Chavez.
Chavez champions the cause of the poor in Venezuela. He takes from the rich and gives to the poor. He is cozy with Fidel Castro and hates the USA.
His (Chavez) hatred for the United States government occasionally seems to approach the paranoid: he has accused them of being behind any number of plots to remove or assassinate him. This irrational hatred has driven him to pursue counter-productive strategies, such as supporting Colombian rebels, publicly denouncing Israel (resulting in hate crimes against Venezuelan Jews) and spending enormous sums on Russian-built weapons and aircraft.
The USA is NOT Venezuela, yet Obama seems to pattern his presidency after Chavez. A country like Venezuela seeks to raise it standards to come somewhere close to the USA. When Obama decides to take America where Venezuela is, it means a lowering of living standards for everyone except the rich politicians.
Watch carefully. If I am correct, Obama’s next steps may be similar to these step by Chavez.
Venezuelans rose up in 2007 in protest against his decision not to renew a broadcasting license for a private television station critical of the government. Later that year, they claimed that a constitutional reform attempt, which included a measure to allow the indefinite reelection of heads of state, was another ploy.
Even his supporters have complained that as he presides over the world stage he is ignoring the day-to-day issues that affect most Venezuelans, like muggings and the price of milk.
Although the health mission, called Barrio Adentro, for example, has brought free primary care to the poorest areas, many say state hospitals have been neglected and are in disarray – a situation that helps no one.
Who is Barack Obama? He is a man who wants to fundamentally change the USA even if that means bringing our living standard down. Does he hate the USA as much as Chavez hates us? What do you think?
Imagine a world where dissent is forbidden. Imagine a world where only one point of view is allowed. This may be where we are headed, but we are not there yet.
Darwin’s Dilemma is a video presentation that teaches how, according to geo-years, there was a rapid appearance of dozens of major complex animal types in the fossil record during what is called the Cambrian period. The interesting part, and what is lacking during this period, are the gradual transitional steps Charles Darwin wrote about.
The topic is certainly interesting. One might think that those who disagree with what is presented in the video would be all too eager to have it shown and use it as an opportunity to teach what they think are the errors found there. Not so, according to the Discovery Institute who say that…
The Darwin anniversary year is almost over, but Darwinists have been working overtime trying to censor free speech on evolution and intelligent design. Incredibly, they now are even trying to stop privately-sponsored events about intelligent design!
If you are interested in learning more about creation and deciding for yourself whether you believe Darwinism or Intelligent Design you might want to read Signature in the Cell.
While most people equate ID with creation, there are some differences and while creation requires an intelligent designer, ID does not require a Biblical explanation.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3
Throughout mankind’s history, scientist have reached differing conclusions while looking at the same or similar data and while studying life on planet earth. Many who have been ridiculed and mocked have later been found to be correct. The scientific community is seldom in complete agreement. One thing that has been helpful to mankind has been man’s willingness to listen to and consider other ideas and/or theories. Tolerance isn’t always practiced, however, in the world of scientific discovery certainly there should be room for dissent. When a group is unwilling to allow dissent, the big “elephant in the room” is the question, “Why not?”
The liberal democrats did not take very long to declare Mike Huckabee out of the running for 2012. They say they believe that his commuting the sentence of Maurice Clemmons rules out his chances for the presidency.
Mike is a stand-up guy. He is not afraid to talk to reporters and he takes tough questions. The two judges who helped put Maurice Clemmons on the streets, well I cannot say the same for them.
While watching a report on Fox recently I learned that scientist believe that within a few years people will be able to surf the internet without touching a keyboard or mouse. Those who are willing to have a chip implanted within the brain will simply think about where they want to go and the computer will respond. Sound impossible?
The explanation given was so simple that even a I am able to comprehend at least the general idea of what will happen. It seems that research has uncovered the fact that when we purposefully ‘think’ about doing a certain thing, a portion of our brain reacts the same as if we are actually performing the action.
Is this similar to what Jesus is describing here:
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28
Perhaps this brain activity isn’t what Jesus is referring to, but Jesus certainly knows all about man. Some will most likely say that this is a stretch to say that Jesus knew the power of our thought processes. I say that it isn’t a stretch at all. He created man and He:
had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. John 2: 25
He always knew and knows what we are and what we are capable of doing. Nothing takes Him by surprise:
… God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 1 John 3:20
