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
