Danger--America Becoming Statist: First Bush, Now Obama

Note: First the Security or Police State then the Nanny State. This is a must-read article, and hopefully an eye-opener to those still stuck in the "left" or "right" paradigm of thinking of partisan politics, both of which pick and chose which parts of the Constitution they want to dismantle for desired ends.

Put the Bush and Obama policies together, sprinkle in a couple more terrorist attacks, and one or two more state-caused financial calamities, and you have a recipe for . . .

* The blossoming of a Leviathan State

Dan Brown's New Book, Rep. Nick Rahall Talks about Freemasonry

A Sunday Message: Why People Hate the Christian Religion and the Bible

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come unto the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
-- Jesus to Nicodemus the Pharisee, who came to see him by night

Politically-Correct Hatred

It has become increasingly popular to speak with absolute contempt of religion, in particular Christianity, and the Bible (the most respected and distributed book of antiquity), especially in the context of public morality. Any historic laws or philosophers may be quoted from freely (no matter how unworthy of credit), but let anyone dare quote from this profound and historic Book and instantly the democratic mobs bristle and hurl abuse in hateful spite at the messenger. The present public controversies about homosexuality in particular have frequently accused Christians of "hating", as if those who accuse are lovers of professing Christians, or virtue and righteousness, in their calls for modern "justice", while casting down and trampling both the laws of nature and moral laws of God revealed in the Bible, abolishing virtually all historic mores of social decency. "Bible thumpers" has become the ridiculed great evil, and the good Book has become Verboten in a growing Social Fascism of Political-Correctness where "judge not" (as Jesus spoke, but also who commanded to "judge ye with righteous judgment") is misinterpreted and misapplied to condemn righteous standards by those who "call evil good, and good evil". Can't you feel the love of the condemning social revolutionaries against all those with any Christian profession or standards, who think that "judge not" does not apply to their camp of the New Sadducees of a politically-correct new Liberal Righteousness, who are not really tolerant in their own judgment, and seek even to persecute under color of their new laws and pending legislation?

But could it be, in part, a problem with modern Christianity that accounts for this too? Into this modern age it would be good to hear a just and forthright old sermon from a popular English preacher of yester-year, who spares neither Christian professors and pastors nor those who despise Christian truth, for which reasons it has become politically-correct and common to hate Christianity and the Bible, as if it had the "savor (or smell) of death" on it, instead of a "savor of life".

Manchin Stands Up For State's Rights vs. Federal Martial Law

Apparently in acting in capacity of the National Governor's Association, as second in leadership, Governor Manchin put his name to paper in defending States' Rights under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution to counter a usurping role of the Federal government and Pentagon during times of declared crisis.  This would also include governor's powers, versus federal, in response to a Swine Flu emergency:

Governors oppose DoD emergency powers

A bipartisan pair of governors is opposing a new Defense Department proposal to handle natural and terrorism-related disasters, contending that a murky chain of command could lead to more problems than solutions.

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas (R), chairman of the National Governors Association, and Vice Chairman Gov. Joe Manchin (D) of West Virginia penned a letter opposing the Pentagon proposal, which they said would hinder a state's effort to respond to a disaster.

Current law gives governors control over National Guard forces in their own states as well as any Guard units and Defense Department personnel imported from other states....

CATO--"Hate Crime" Laws Are Unconstitutional

"Hate crime" laws are "thought crime" laws, constitute "double jeopardy" (being tried twice for same crime), and violate the 1st and 14th (and also not mentioned, 10th) amendments of the Constitution, this scholar asserts. He also takes the ACLU to task since they ought to know better, and should lead the opposition.

The ADL (hypocrites who defame many) is behind "hate crimes" legislation, and is the powerful, private, special interest, propaganda agency to federal and local law enforcement (including FBI) and media, who are the sole self-appointed definers of public orthodoxy and what constitutes "hate" or "hate groups", even "terrorism" watch lists!

"Hate Crimes" laws could become the basis of a New American Inquisition, where a certain "orthodoxy" of thought, speech, religious or philosophical beliefs is upheld and requires punishment of all to the contrary.

Think about the danger of this! What about "liberty of conscience" and freedom of speech?

Blame the Fed and Government, not Free Markets: Author of 'Meltdown' Interviewed on 58 Live

Tom Woods does not mince words and puts the blame squarely on the Fed (Bernanke, Greenspan, et al) and the U.S. government (Congress) for the financial meltdown and the economic and banking crisis.

What is ironic is that Congressman Ron Paul's warnings and economic platform, ignored by the heavy-handed republican establishment during the primaries (and which no other republican candidate stood for), is now becoming popular and receiving the attention it deserves. Ron Paul in fact wrote the forward for Dr. Wood's book.

Listen to most of his interview here on this podcast, which took place on 58 Live (WCHS radio Charleston, WV) on April 1st. (Click on the box to begin the player).

“A must-read. Writing with remarkable clarity and occasional mordant humor, Thomas Woods makes a compelling argument for a radical turn to the free market as the only way to prevent meltdowns from recurring.”
-Barron’s

From the foreword by Ron Paul:

“We can probably expect an avalanche of books in the coming months that purport to tell us what happened to the economy and what we should do about it. They’ll be dead wrong, and most of the advice they provide will be dreadful. You can count on that.

“That’s why Meltdown is different. This book actually gets things right. It correctly identifies our problems, their causes, and what we should do about them. It treats the architects of this debacle not with the undeserved reverence they receive in Washington and on television, but with the critical eye that is so conspicuously missing from our supposedly independent thinkers in academia and the media.

________TAKE ACTION: Call Rep. Capito or your Representative______

Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve (HR 1207) now has 50 co-sponsors, and the numbers keep growing!

If you haven’t done so already, tell everyone you know to call and write their representative and ask that they support the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act H.R. 1207″.

If you called before and if your representative is not listed below, follow up and ask them to take a position either way so we know where they stand on the issue of bringing transparency to the Federal Reserve.
