Hey guys, I just found out about this really really lame atempt to feed us socialism.
House bill H.R. 1592 and Senate bill S. 1105 are bills which call the practice of denouncing homosexuality from the pulpit a "hate crime."
So if your pastor, teacher, or even a mullah denounces homosexuality from the stand then they have committed a "hate crime."
Let's take this one step further, God in His word not only states that homosexuality is wrong, but that stealing is also.
What if all of the sudden, stealing becomes a lifestyle?
Our pastors, or teachers, in denouncing stealing or theft will be commiting a federal crime. Sound stupid?
Guess what! It is!
It is rediculous, however, it is also very, very serious.
The punishment for a hate crime;
note General Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (head Generals at the Pentagon), was fired because he publicly expressed moral opposition to homosexual behavior.
Now, A California lawsuit which is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court would make the use of the words "natural family," "marriage" and "union of a man and a woman" a "hate speech" crime in government workplaces.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled in favor of the plaintiffs!
So case law now states that if your parent works for the government, county, city, federal, state, whatever. If they state one of the above phrases, "natural family," then they will be fired.
Tough. But this is what this world is coming to.
The same things happened in Germany with the Nazis, and in Russia with the Socialists.
It all comes down to socialism.
Each day that passes brings us closer, and closer to a Socialist Republic.
Same with the gun laws.
What did the sociaolists and nazis do before they took over?
They enforced heavy gun control, and then took away the firearms.
The only people that can make a difference are.......you and me.

Blame Bush

Some of you guys might have seen this before,
but its so important that we remember what the President has done for our country.
Every day we hear negative report, after negative comment, after negative,
after negative, after negative, after......... you get the point. =)
Remember that many of the news stations are biased and distort the news to advance their own agendas.
God sent us each here for a special, individual, mission. Let's not forget that.
Please remember to pray for President Bush and his staff as they do their best to protect us.
Our prayers mean more than we know.
Happy Summer! =)

Wonder how the drive by media missed this?
This letter to the editor was in a morning paper. I liked it.

>>(Author unknown)>>>>
Quote:
In 2006, the U. S. Economy grew more than a 6 percent rate.
Blame President Bush.

In 2006, more than 4000 al-Qaida soldiers died because of U. S. Military effort.
Blame Bush.
Since Sept. 11, there have been no attacks by al-Qaida on U. S. Soil.
Blame Bush

In spite of Hurricane Katrina and the war in Iraq, the United States has had a growing economy averaging more than 4.8 percent.
Blame Bush.

Average real income increased by 8.8 percent in 2006,
mostly in the middle and lower income tax brackets.
Blame Bush.

Since Sept. 11, more than 80 percent
of the known al-Qaida top leaders have been killed or captured.
Blame Bush.

During the last four years, inflation has been less than 3 percent per year.
Blame Bush.

In 2006, the stock market reached its all-time high.
Blame Bush.

All of the above have been reported by Fox News or the Wall Street Journal.
You probably never read many of these facts in the mainstreammedia.
Can't blame Bush for that.

The United States is the finest country in the world and our military wonderful and highly trained.

It is performing at a very high standard and is all voluntary.
God bless the military and its mission.

It deserves our prayers and support as it fights to keep our land free of terrorists.
The military deserves our thanks. Too bad our politicians don't think so.

How to Capture A Hog

This is kinda lengthy, but the message is so important.
Feel free to comment. =)
-Skipper


From The Marion Star

I'm greatly concerned about the agenda of Nancy Pelosi and liberals/socialists in the new Congress.

The agenda contains items that will put the security of our country at risk; proposals that will take away the freedom of speech for conservative groups; bills that would give the UN more control over the sovereignty of our country; and promises of more financial handouts from the government.

In other words, the government can do a better job of leading our lives, than we can do ourselves.

I am reminded of the words of Ronald Reagan:

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

I can best explain my concern about the new congress's agenda,
by using this analogy given to me by a former student of mine.
Several years ago I was supervising a beginning teacher in a city school system.

One day during our end-of-the-day feedback conference, the young man gave a facial grimace and
began to rub his back.
I asked him if he had strained his back in the school lab.

After a long period of silence, he sat down at his desk and explained that he had immigrated to the United States because of political problems in his native country.

The discomfort in his back was caused by a bullet wound he had received while fighting the Communists who were trying to take over his country's government.
He was then a member of the underground nationalist force.

Then he asked me a surprising question: "Dr. Hedges, do you know how; to catch a wild hog?"
The question was completely out of context regarding the day's classroom and lab teaching.

I replied, "I'm not sure what you are talking about. Tell me."

First," he said, "you find out where the wild hogs are roaming and feeding,
and then you put some corn out in the field.

Soon they will come to eat the corn. You keep putting out the free corn.

More wild hogs keep coming to eat the corn." "
So what?" I said. "That's normal for any animal."

"Be patient. I will tell you what comes next," he said.
"After the hogs get used to your free corn, you put up a length of fence along one side of the feeding area. The hogs get used to it. You keep giving them the corn.

Then you put up another section of fence at right angles to the first.
You keep giving them the corn. The hogs get used to the second fence.

Then you put up another length of fence at right angles to the second section.
You now have a U-shaped fenced area.
The hogs get used to that section of the fence. You keep giving them free corn.

Then you put another section of fence with a gate in it, making a closed area except for the gate.
You keep giving them corn. Now, the hogs no longer are out in the fields, working to find their own food.
They keep coming into the area to eat the free corn. They get used to the fenced area with the open gate.

Then, one day you
slam shut the gate when the hogs are inside the fenced area.
The wild hogs are caught - they are your prisoners."

I understood then that the wild hogs were really the people of his native country,
and that the free corn was the enticements that the Communists were giving to the people. "
That's correct," the young man said.

"Now, the hogs will not get anything to eat unless you give them food.

You are in control.

They depend on you to feed them, or they will starve.

They can't get out into the fields and forests anymore to find their own food. They have probably forgotten how.

They are your servants, your prisoners. They must obey you.
Or else they starve.

"The hogs," he said,
"were so accustomed to having the free corn,
that they ignored the building of the fences that would eventually trap them.

When the gate slammed shut, it was too late for them to realize what they had been blind to.

The free corn was enticing, so effortless to obtain, but eventually the cause of their loss of freedom.
The fence had been built; the gate had been shut."

At this point in our conversation, the young teacher, in a voice shaking with emotion and with fists hitting the desktop, loudly exclaimed,

"This is what I see happening in America today!

People are being offered free corn by the government.

People are being blind to the fences being built around them by the liberals - the socialists - and that is what frightens me!

Just like it was happening in my homeland. The American people do not learn from history.

And history shows that socialism/communism does not work.

Take note of Russia. Has socialism been the best thing that ever happened to that country?
Absolutely not!

But socialism is what the American people are being fed, and they don't realize it.
All they can focus on is the 'free corn.'
They want more and more of the 'free' corn.

And this free corn is being fed to us little by little, and soon the gate will slam shut. I am very frightened, and also amazed, that the American people don't see what is being fed us, and for what purpose."

With that said the young man sat down at his desk and continued to rub his painful back.
And I was silent in my chair.
And afraid.
For I could visualize the supposedly "free corn" being fed to our nation's people,
and our growing addiction to the "free corn."
And I could see the gate being slammed shut.

We, the people of the United States of America , because of our ignorance of history, because of our addiction to the supposedly "free corn," could soon be prisoners of liberal socialism.

Along with this fighter for freedom from socialism/communism, I, too, wanted to slam my fists on the desktop and cry out in a loud voice for all to hear,
"Wake up, America! The fences are being built! Don't you see what is happening to us?"

In the agenda of the new Congress governed by the liberal Democrats, there is much "free corn" being promised the American people. In our greed for this "free corn," will we ignore the incremental building of the fences, and the inevitable shutting of the gate?

As I ponder the building of the fences now underway by the new Congress, I remember the old adage,
'There is always free cheese in a mousetrap."

It seems the only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.
