News Leader sound off

If any of the friends or enemies from sound off would like to debate my beliefs please use this blog thread. I will not respond to anonymous comments. I will only engage in open debates. Thank you for your comments. I enjoy active debates as you mat have known.

News Leader wants to give them all a big hug

Re: Revoking birthright citizenship is not a solution
I really believe the News Leader staff missed the point on this one. How can we as a country continue to allow the wave of illegals to poor in on a daily basis. Mr. Tancredo is doing us all a huge favor if he gets this billed passed. The key to the whole thing is "if your parents are here illegally, then the welcome mat is pulled out". Legal immigrants is what this country is about. Not midnight dashes across the border to take American jobs and to drain American resources like healthcare and welfare. It cost taxpayers an estimated 75 billion dollars a year for free education, medical cost, and incarceration of illegals. Not for legal but illegal immigrants. Nearly 30% of those in our federal prison system are illegals. In Missouri alone it cost us 1.4 million to incarcerate these illegal immigirants. This law would curb this cancerous trend and keep America safe and jobs secure.

As for the Constitution argument well if your staff had did some more research you’d find that the 14th amendment was never leagally ratified and thus should not even be considered valid by real American’s. As to the Supreme Court case in 1898 that was a specific case and court opinions are not meant to be law but merely a judgement for the parties in the case. So the News Leader’s View is not and should not be seen as a good idea. What America needs now is to stop being the police for the world and start providing a good life to its citizens at home.

Stem Cells and Life

Can someone tell me why a "pro life " Governor would be in favor of creating a life just to destroy it. Can someone tell me why the Missouri Baptist would give him a platform in which to spew his rhetoric. We must tell these politicians that we will not be fooled. We know that this issue will drive a wedge that will not be easily healed. 06 will be remembered for its battle not for abortion rights or Gun rights but the simple right to keep mad scientist from farming life in the name of cures. We have already seen great results from adult stem cells so why do we need to kill babies to find cures. Sure lets kill a baby to make someone else's life easier. How is this a fair trade? It will only get worse. You must ask the candidates the tough question, are you for life or death?

Lampe is wrong on Education

Re: Good Schools equal better State
I could not disagree with the honorable representative more. If Rep. Lampe had her way we would spend millions more of our school dollars on these "support services". Our Children do not go to school to be psychoanalyzed or socialized. While the items she mentions such as cafeterias and libraries are important, they should in no way replace the in class instruction. Rep. Lampe, when we had dedicated teachers like your mother and one-room classes we had a world class education. However, today we have teachers who are grossly underpaid and instruction that borders on socialism. If we want a better educational system we must first get the federal government out of it by ending the Department of Education now. Second, we must end the governmental indoctrination that takes place and go back to teaching the core subjects like reading, writing, math and history. Lastly, parents must stop letting the government do their jobs and become more involved in their students education. The Governor, while being well meaning, is also going a little far in requiring local schools to follow a prescribed plan. I know the Governor to be well versed on early American history and I am sure he knows the founding fathers would be against such bullying by the government. Schools were always meant to be local entities. So madam representative get your social programs out of our schools and Mr. Governor please reconsider your bully tactics.

It Takes God to raise a Child

Springfield, I implore you that it does not take a village to raise a child. Our public schools have already been transformed into Government indoctrination centers, and now they want to get them even earlier. They hide all this in the guise of public good. What is good about the government raising your kids? If it is anything like the public schools they will probably tell them that there is no God but government and only it can supply all your needs. You were not created but evolved from primordial sludge. Homosexuality is normal and should be tolerated by all. The world owes you a living so wait for them to provide it. I could go on, but I am sure the point is made. This is suppose to keep kids out of trouble? I normally disagree with governor Blunt but he said it all at the Baptist Convention this week when he said Jesus Christ is our only hope. So I urge you to say no to big government and encourage the city to drop the Childhood development center and give it all to law enforcement.

Log Cabin wants gay unions

http://www.stltoday.com/blogs/news-politicalfix/2005/10/log-cabin-GOP-claims-sponsors-for-civil-unions-bill/comment-page-16/#comments

I just wanted to say a few thing about this to those who visit this site. I have been in some rather heated debate called backwoods and a hater. What I do not understand is why all these people seem to think they have a right to get special treatment under the law. Soon I will be arrested for the views I share here because they will be deemed hate speech. I do not hate gays, I hate their sin. Just as I hate my own sin. The difference is I repent and turn away, they seek justification of their sin so they can continue to do it. If this bill makes it to a committee, rest assure I will be up there fighting it with every fiber I have. I will protect the family unit that these people seem to want to destroy. They do not deserve to be discriminated against in jobs and such but they also do not deserve special laws to justify their choice. Marriage is ordained of God and should stay that way. I will not bow to the seeker sensitive pastors who say we shouldn't hurt their feelings. If I do not share the truth then it is my fault. I will not be liable for failing to share the gospel. Until next time

America the harlot

I was recently asked why my blogs are so confrontational. While I had no direct reason, I simply said I write what the Holy Spirits direct me too. This did not seem to sit well with this reader. The Bible calls us to make disciples of the nations. This is what I will do in every opinion I write. So this week I will do what I always do, challenge the saints with His word for them.

I have been saddened by the extreme apostasy that has taken place in our Nation. No longer is God allowed nor revered in America today. The churches have forsaken the Word of God for the psycho babble of man’s wisdom. We make covenants for purpose but deny the giver of our purpose. Hosea speaks very well to our Nation today. Hosea was asked by God to take a prostitute for his wife. Now imagine if your single pastor just told you the God wanted him to marry a prostitute, you’d flip your lid. Well if you read Hosea you’ll know that God had a reason and His will was done. I just want to share a glimpse at what God’s purpose was. In Hosea 4: 1-10 we see God’s rebuke on a Nation of harlotry. However, we see some hope and the solution in verse six. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being my priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God" You see we are dying as a Nation because we have the knowledge of the truth but do not live by the truth, and many have forgotten the laws of God. We live in the world and are tolerant rather then being offensive as is the nature of the Gospel we hold dear. America must stop tolerating the sins of our Nation and demand a reconciliation to God now! If you have read the end of Hosea, you know there is hope for us and America. You see the prophet delivers the good news that we have restoration with the father. If we turn away from our sins God will restore our lands and make us great again. The choice is ours. Do we accept the forgiveness provided by Jesus and repent, or do we keep on accepting the sins God has condemned and call them normal. This is One Man’s Opinion and I hope you share it. Until next time, God bless America as we turn to Him.

News Leader wants us to be socialist

Re: Charities can’t take all the burdens 9/28
I am very surprised on how much Americans and Missourians believe that they are entitled to a free lunch at the expense of others. So far, in Governor Blunt’s short tenure, this is the only thing I feel he has done right. He is completely right when he says government is not the answer. The question is better answered by saying it is not the government’s responsibility to be a safety net. We have hamstrung ourselves to become too reliant on government rather than pulling themselves out. Our Constitution does not give Congress the power to provide entitlements. President Cleveland once said, "I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and the duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering". Charity is everyone’s personal responsibility and not through forced taxation. We’d have no deficit, if we did not have so many entitlements. We should be weary of a government that wants to do everything. Even President Ford was right when he said, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have."

America At a "Cross"road

I was originally going to start a series on Christian citizenship, but with the recent hurricane and the death of the Chief Justice, I feel led to go a different direction. Days after the hurricane disaster people were asking did God do this? How could a merciful God allow such destruction? I now ask the question, how can a righteous judge not allow this to happen. You see God had already given us a warning with 9-11, yet we did nothing. Before 9-11 we had a slow cultural decline by allowing groups like the ACLU to strip any morality our country had. The 6o’s we lost prayer in schools and the Bible as a textbook. In the 70's we allowed doctors to murder babies in the name of convenience and privacy. In the 80's our country outlawed guns from taxpayers and now only outlaws have them. The 90' ushered in Outcome Based Education, Government entitlements, attacks on the Boy Scouts and traditional family values. Then we have today, where we are promoting gay marriage in the name of tolerance. There is also an attempt by some to remove God from the public square ( Judge Roy Moore, Hummansville, Republic Fish, etc). Are you really shocked that God would not remain silent. Am I saying God caused the destruction? No. Did he remove His divine protection? Absolutely! God is love but demands righteousness. The church has strayed away and has followed those who’ll itch their ears. Where have all the Pastors gone?

Paul claimed to know nothing more then Christ and Him crucified. John the Baptist preached repentance and even challenged powerful leaders and called sin, sin. Jesus during his earthly ministry challenged the religious to abandon their trivial routines and embrace God. The Church today is nothing more then carbon copies of the religious zealots of Jesus’ time. They go through the motions but have no fruits in their everyday life. We have beautiful church buildings but the insides are full of deadman’s bones. We need pastors who’ll preach life into those bones just as the Old Testament prophets in their time. We as a church have abandoned the gospel driven church for the purpose driven church. We have toned down the message in order to make it more "seeker sensitive". We can quote televangelist better then we can quote the Word of God. Yet we ask how can God allow such destruction. We as a Nation must humble ourselves and TURN from our wicked ways, then He’ll HEAL our lands. So, pastor, are you preaching Christ and repentance, or 30 days of purpose? So, church goer, are you sharing your faith, or are you happy that you made the cut. He is coming for a spotless bride, will He recognize you and your church when He comes, or will he spew you from His mouth for being lukewarm. I know this has been a hard message, but nonetheless it needs to be said. You can make a difference by being involved in your local church and community. If you feel I am wrong then let me hear from you.

Something for Nothing

Re: Taxpayers foot the bill for junior
Bobbie F. Cook had a valid point in Sunday’s News Leader. Why should taxpayers pay for education? The US Constitution does not say anything about the right to a free education. Did you know one of the planks of communism is taxing property for the common good. Did you also know that the founder of modern free education was the president of a socialist group and the founder of the Soviet Unions educational system. So, what is really happening is that America wants to become a socialistic or communistic country. Free healthcare for all is what they want. Everyone's entitled to education the politicians proclaim. Do not forget about food, we can't let those who won't work go hungry. America is being destroyed by those who think everyone is entitled. So, yes Mrs. Cook they are spoiled and so is America. We will be the next Rome if we do not change this pattern quickly. Republicans and Democrats alike want to keep your vote so they continue to poor taxpayer dollars into these programs. Sunday’s paper was filled with "sad stories" of those who felt they were entitled. I do not get cable TV, my kids are lucky if they have three "outfits", and we live in a less then desirable neighborhood, because we must live within our means. We are not entitled to live like the Jones, we make do with what God blesses us with. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. Charity at gunpoint is not charity it is called taxes.

God save our state

On September 6th our Missouri legislature will go back into session to take up some issues that should have passed the regular session. This event will cost Missourian’s hundred of thousands of dollars a day. Why, you should ask? Because our elected officials do not know the sanctity of human life and they do not know the US Constitution. The debate will be over a bill that makes it harder for a minor to cross state lines for an abortion and it also will make doctors have hospital privileges at a hospital at least within 50 miles. What you won’t see is a provision that says Missouri recognizes human life in uteruo or out. You see our Governor received promises of a very nice check from an institute that does Stem Cell Research using embryos. Suddenly Mr. Blunt is not as pro life as he once claimed.

That takes me back to my original claims. Since the Supreme court made the abortion law up in 1970's the debate has been when does life begin. If you say conception you are close. According to God he says "before you were in your mother’s womb I knew you". So, for God, life begins before conception. However lets take the standard conception argument. Conception is when the egg meets the sperm and the chromosomes from each combine to form life. So what do you call it when a doctor combines two sets of chromosomes in a petri dish? Conception! So, these "researchers" are creating a life just to destroy it. Mr. Blunt and many of the republicans in Jefferson City are not pro life as they claim. I challenge you to ask the tough questions to your elected representative and to those you will elect in 2006.

Now as to my claims that they do not know their US Constitution, that stems from needing to pass these laws at all. You see our Constitution states that you cannot deny no person life, liberty, or property without the due process of law. Missouri’s own laws recognize personhood at conception, so we are denying these babies their constitutional rights. Even if that was not the case, the Roe v Wade was a judgement for that case, not meant to become a new law to be applied to every state. This is contrary to our being a constitutional republic. The Tenth Amendment says whatever powers not given to the federal government is reserved for the states. So, in reality the federal government is overstepping their powers and are invading our state rights. This should anger you to call both Blunt’s, Talent, Bond or whoever your elected official is and tell them to stop killing babies now and too give the states back their constitutional powers.
Next week I hope to start a series called Christian Citizenship. I do not believe that many understand just how important it is to be an educated, informed, and active citizen in their government. I believe this comes from the public schools who have stopped teaching American values, to instead promote their social liberal agenda. So. until next week may God speak to you through His Word and the brethren. Thank You.

Back to Government indoctrination centers

As parents scramble to find just the right backpack and as they load up on crayons and paper this can mean only one thing. It is back to school time. The parents cheer and the children moan as they both know it is time for school. However, I am looking at back to school differently this year because I got smart and pulled my kids from school and started homeschooling. Let me tell you why.

The public school system has became nothing more then a governmental indoctrination center. Our kids, thanks to something called Outcome Based Education no longer learn that which is needed to be a productive and educated citizen. Instead they learn what is going to be on the standardized test so the school can score well and look good. Forget critical thinking skills, you won’t need those on the MAP test so don’t waste time teaching them. History and science those are not on the test either so instead learn how to fill out a job application in fourth grade. This would be funny if it did not really happen to my kids.

Ever since schools became public the government has used them to build social zombies instead of academic elites. Today our schools are creating nothing more then liberal socialist, better known as communist. The modern public school was created in the 1930's by John Dewey who was a president of a socialist group, and the founder of the schools in Russia as well. So it is no wonder today we have a Senator saying it takes a village to raise a child. America has bought into Hillary’s communist agenda. There is no greater influence on our kids then the school. Think about it, they spend thirty hours a week in school during thirteen of the most formidable years of their lives.

So, I ask you parent, is this what you want for your child? Are you proud to say you are raising a communist. Ask your kids about the constitutional convention or what Article three addresses in the constitution. Ask the younger kids what was the first thing they learned. Think about this, what is the first thing every kid learns at school? "Now boys and girls we need to share". So if you are happy with the governments indoctrination centers, then do not be surprised one day when their generation hands over our sovereignty to the United Nations in the name of Global unity. God save our children. Oh wait he can’t because our schools teach he doesn’t exist.

Taxpayers foot the bill for ACLU tirades

ACLU is Robing Taxpayers
I write this not to stir the pot of controversy, but to open the air of discussion, and to proclaim the truth that we should no longer be forced to pay the ACLU out of or taxes when they attack cities and individuals with frivolous lawsuits. You see what you may not know is that the ACLU take advantage of the Civil rights Act to earn monies from the tax payers of America. However, they try to come across as champions of the offended. I am offended, but why won’t they accept my cause. I am offended because the Supreme Court has raped the Constitution by legislating from the bench their personal agendas. I am offended because unborn babies are murdered without due process of law. Taxpayers are being stripped of their property without just compensation. The Ten Commandments are now subjugated to a geographical test before they can be posted to remind us of our legal and moral history. While Congress and the President sit and do nothing. So tell me Congressmen Blunt why did the Congress give up their Constitutional duty to Judges so that they could award attorney fees to ACLU? Tell me Senator Talent what it feels like to be the cause of the job loss of a Humansville educator? Tell me America do you like funding the tirades of ACLU who is on a mission to erase the very name of God and Christ from the American conscience? Did you know that the ACLU collected 500,000 dollars of your money to remove Roy Moore How about the 100,000 they got to kick out the Boy Scouts from schools? What the money they earned from the Republic fish case or Hummansville? Their clients pay nothing, it comes from you and I. Are you willing to foot the bill to erase God from America? If you are tired of paying the cost call your elected officials and tell them to pass HR 3319 which is the Freedom of Religious Expression Act which says win or loose you pay your own fees. So no more tax payer funds will be going to the ACLU when they decide to sue community schools like Humansville, so now the schools may be willing to fight because their attorney may do it pro bono. So join me in calling on Blunt, Talent and Bond to make this resolution to pass. When this passes schools can now allow students to rightly express their religous beliefs at school without fear of lawsuit because there would no longer be profit for the Anti-Christian litigation unit aka ACLU.

We are a Christian Nation

Re: Robert Ledger’s Signs good place for Ten Commandments in the Springfield News Leader July 17th, 2005

On Sunday I did as I always do quickly flip to the opinions page and read what is in the minds of Springfield. Being a Christian, Ledger’s article grabbed my attention. It started off as a great piece on a man who is trying to make a difference in his community. However, it went South when Mr. Ledger began to editorialize the actions of this man. Sure it is his job to do that after all he is the editor of the opinion page, but I must take issue with his comments.

His comments belittle the beliefs of Kemper and many Christians buy saying our great nation never was a Christian nation. While I agree today we are a Secular Humanist nation, in years past we were a great Christian nation. Ledger’s defense is that the First Amendment which he said says, "government will leave religious belief to the individual conscience". That is not what it says at all. It really says the Congress shall make no law establishing a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . Simple translation the government cannot create a national religion. James Madison the father of the Constitution wanted this as the First Amendment, "The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established". Patrick Henery said this about our founding as a nation,"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." I could go on but I do not have enough space to provide all the quotes that have been made to support the fact we were a Christian Nation before the Courts started making laws.

Which brings us back to the original point, the Ten Commandments and the Courts. John Adams our second president wrote Thomas Jefferson and said this, "the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount contain my religion" and Adams was always staunch about never separating ones faith from the actions of Government. Jefferson declared religion is: "Deemed in other countries incompatible for good government and yet proved by our experiences as its best support" Bottom line we need the Ten Commandments in the schoolhouse, the courthouse, and in all our lives. As long as there is an ACLU there will be a fight, and as long as your children continue to go to the government indoctrination centers aka public schools we will never remember the Nation we once were.

The Abortion litmus test is Unconstitutional

With a possibility of two vacancies in the SCOTUS, both side have brought out their big guns and are posturing their views in the public eye. Constitutionalist could solve this in one hour and it be exactly what the founders would do as well. The Child has rights and those rights such as LIFE, LIBERTY, PROPERTY cannot be taken without the due process of law(fifth Ad). The women's groups are posting on their websites pictures of women who died because they did not have access to safe abortions. They would have you believe that we'd have back alley coat hanger abortions like an epidemic. This is nothing more then a scare tactic used to get their way. Where is the pictures of the thousands of aborted babies? The judges used the 14th Ad as their Constitutional test. That is ironic seeing that this ad was never legally ratified, and was pushed through by a republican agenda under the guise of the Reconstruction Act. Read your History its true. Besides that the Founders new that their would be new issues so they used a catch all in the form of the 10th Ad, which left it up to the states as was expected. We are not a democracy, we are a republic. The Constitution is not a living moldable document. The founders did not want this so that is why they made the 10th. All issue after then 10th could have been and should have been solved by the states and not an unconstitutional and unneeded ad. We need and must have judges who will honor the 10th Ad. We also need judges who will respect the unborn's Constitutional rights and end the barbaric practice of Abortions

Greedy Christians are Faithless

Greedy Christians are Faithless
Now that the cuts to medicaid are final and more reform is on the horizon, now more then ever Christians need to do the right thing. As I have stated in the past it is not the Governments job to provide welfare. Back when people had the good sense to take care of each other there was no need for the handout. However, we live in a different era. Today, many want the handout and do not want to work for it. Shame on America! Second, the Christians see the need yet ignore it and live in their own little churchly paradise. The bible has something to say to these faithless Christians. In James 2:15-16 the Bible say "If a Brother or Sister is without clothing and in need of daily food and one says to them go in peace, be warmed and filled, and yet you do not give them what they need for their body. What use is that?" How many Christian see a need and say I’ll pray for you but do nothing? What good are you to God then? What have you done for Him lately?
Mike Yankoski a College kid who wanted understand what it was to be homeless decided to be homeless for five months. He wrote about in his book Under the Overpass. One story after another talks about how Christians would tell him that they would pray for him whenever he’d asked for food, but few ever offered to buy him food. Even street ministry teams would not invite him to church. However some did and he said he could see the love of Christ in them. Do you have the love of Christ in you?
Today, there are many Missourians in need. Some will loose their insurance and will now choose between food and medicine. You can and should provide for your neighbor. The Church pantry does not know you neighbor needs help, but you probably do. Wake up Christians! It is time to put your faith where your mouth is, and that’s in action

Biden shows Constitutional ignorance

America needs to be educated on the Constitution. In wake of the recent SCOTUS opening, now more then ever this nation needs to learn what the Constitution really says, especially Joe Biden-D. On Sunday during an interview he stated that the "circuit courts are different then the SCOTUS, they don't get to make new laws". The last time I checked it was the Congress not the judiciary that made the laws. This ignorant statement shows why we have a abortion, less property rights, and no respect for our heritage. No where is there a clause for the right to privacy as used by Pro-Death advocates . No where will you find a clause for the separation of church and state either. The next judge must adhere to the strict interpretation of this sacred document. So please America, go study and learn your Constitution before the 06 election and vote for candidates who'll actually follow it.

Decline of the American Empire

Supreme Court Removes Moral Benchmark
By Chris M Fluharty
Monday June 27th, 2005, the highest court in the land ignored years of tradition and heritage and voted 5-4 to remove two framed copies of the 10 Commandments from a Kentucky courthouse. This was not only a removal of a symbol, but the removal of America’s moral benchmark. No longer will societies laws be based on truth but rather a relative idea of truth. The Ten Commandments are more than just a religious enigma, they are also a standard by which our laws were formed and based. One does not have to be a Christian or a Jew to understand and respect the truths behind the Ten Commandments. Nearly every early civilization had some sort of code by which they should live, i.e. the Code of Hammurabi which is the earliest recorded set of laws. So why is America so fearful to have a reminder that we are to live by a standard?
The slow demise of America can be attributed to the Supreme Courts personal agenda to remove God and His standards from our society. In the 60's, it was school prayer in the name of tolerance. The 70's, it was the legalization of murder by allowing choice rather than constitutional rights for the unborn. This was done in the name of "so-called liberty". Who’s liberty? Today we have a constant bombardment from sue happy complainers who are enabled by so-called civil right attorneys such as the ACLU. Where will it stop?
If we as a nation do not stop this moral decline we will become the next Roman Empire. Take a look and see for yourself. In his seven volume set of books, The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon listed six reasons for the fall of the empire. First, there was a rapid increase of divorce. In America more than 1 out of 2 marriages end in divorce. Second, was high taxes and spending for free bread and circuses. Today one spends seven months working just to pay his taxes, and America has become a welfare state that is out of control. Third, was the obsession of sports and pleasure. The more brutal, the more exciting. Sports in America are a billion-dollar a year enterprise. And with events like the Ultimate Fighting Championship they have also become more brutal. Fourth, it was the building of great displays that portrayed the societies views on morals. Today Hollywood’s blockbusters are nothing more than hedonistic orgies and are teaching our kids that there are no rules. Fifth, was the decay of religion. Today, less than 50% of our Pastors have a biblical worldview. They preach on self-esteem and wealth but rarely do they preach on sin. Our pastors are silent because they themselves are clueless to their own decay. Lastly, Gibbon states that there was a spread of effeminacy. The homosexual movement in America is growing faster than you may think. Canada and Massachusetts have already allowed gay marriage. Many school curriculums now push the gay agenda as normal. Are we the next Rome? Will you allow this to continue?
Now that America has no moral benchmark, we are destined to decline at an even greater rate. Sin will no longer be allowed to be called sin. Soon, as in Canada, we will be jailed for saying anything they view as absolute truth. God’s laws are no longer accepted in America. The tyranny has began. Surely, we are in the last days.

Yet another rape by the S. Court

I am not surprised the left leaning Springfield News Leader would believe that the Supreme Court made the right decision. They did nothing more then create an open season on the property owner. By failing to do nothing and passing the buck, they allowed corrupt politicians to take a persons property for "public use" and this is unreasonable and unconstitutional. "Public use" is nothing more then code for screw you tax payer. If they think the state should decide this issue then why don’t they do that for every issue. For example shouldn’t a state decide if pre born murder is a local issue? If the government sees a chance to profit, they can and now will take your property, then sell it to private development in the name of increased tax revenue and say that it is "public use" because the public will benefit from the tax. We must elect leaders who will not let this happen. Our State Congress should go into special session to pass a bill that would stop this sort of political tyrnanny. This is yet again gross judicial negligence and a rape of our Constitution. Monday we will see if they keep this kind of thinking. Shouldn't a State also decide if they post the 10 Commandments. We shall see.

Dogs, flags, and much more

Springfield seems to have lost its direction. The City councils wants to reward some friends on the backs of communities. Dogs are attacking (pit Bulls) anyways. The NAACP is crying foul because the Confederate Battle Flag flew for a single day. How long will Springfield let this happen. How long will we keep Godless politicians in power? You must make your voice heard.

God and Government

I believe that there is a direct correlation between America's misconception of government and its perceived lack of need for a savior or the 10 commandments. Millions believe that we are a democracy which is a rule by people. The founders feared this and formed us into a Republic which is rule by law. These laws were based on the 10 commandments. In a democracy the people do what is right in their own eyes. In a republic they follow a set of laws formed by those chosen by the people. When we began to flush this idea of being a republic we also flushed the laws of God as well. Until we return to a republican form of government we will never recognize our need for God and his laws.

Welcome

I just started this blog to give myself and others a place to vent on issues that matter most to those of us that live here in Springfield. Every morning I read the News-Leader and at times want to scream at its content. You are only allowed one letter every thirty days and at times people say stupid things. Now I can rant here and it allows others to rant back for some possible debate. I hope others will find this helpful. Thank You and God Bless
