14th is not a free ride for illegals

I think the News Leader staff really missed the target on this one. There are two problems with stating the Constitution ensures education for all. The first, is the State Constitution is subject to the US Constitution and nowhere in the US Constitution are there any enumerated powers for a free public education. This idea is foreign to a Republican form of Government and would have never been accepted by any of the founders except maybe Benjamin Rush. The idea to tax one person to educate another’s child is not only socialism and redistribution of wealth but it is also welfare. Why should one citizen’s hard earned dollars be taken from them to educate a non US citizen? There are no grounds for this anywhere in our Constitution. The SCOTUS has repeatedly sided against citizen voted measures to protect our borders, resources and the like. I voted for Prop 187 and it won easily yet we’re told it is unconstitutional? The judges ignored the people of California and the state congress to enact its own laws. Why do we allow them to legislate from the bench like that. Your defense is the 14th amendment. It is a shame that the staff did not spend a little more time in research on that bag of worms.
The 14th Amendment was never legal nor was it ever considered Constitutional from the start. The Constitution clearly states that proposed amendments must be passed by two thirds of both houses of Congress. In December of 1865, those in control of Congress refused to allow the South’s elected Representatives and Senators to be seated. At that point, Congress itself was unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment was easily defeated when it was rejected by all but one of the southern States and all of the so-called “border” States. Iowa and Massachusetts had also failed to ratify it by the beginning of March, 1867. So thus, they had only 21 ratifications of the 28 needed. So your evidence as well as the basis for the SCOTUS decision is false, unfounded and unconstitutional. So why does Americans and Missourians continue to allow the government to plunder their finances to educate other peoples kids and now illegal immigrants as well. Rise up Missouri and let them know that their thievery will no longer be tolerated. If we wanted to live in a socialist society then we’d move to Russia. If Dr. Ridder thinks I am going to approve more taxes in April when he just might spend it on more illegals he is dead wrong. To Change your Government change your vote.

The Confederate flag belongs over their graves

Open Letter to Elected Officials:
Mr. Governor, Speaker, President Pro tempore, How long will you allow the fear and ignorance of a disorganized caucus destroy any attempt at improved race relations in Missouri. This bill is more about historical heritage and respect for veterans then it is about hate and racism. The only people making it about race and hatred are the ignorant and misinformed. Keeping the flag from its place will only spell doom for Missouri history and heritage. Here are several examples as to why history proves the Confederate flag is not about hate. Hopefully after reviewing the evidence you will restore the flag to its rightful place, flying over the graves of those who died for it.

HB 999 is stuck in the rules committee with no sign of going to the floor because some think the Confederate flag is racist. Why is St Andrews cross so offensive? Did the Confederate flag ever fly over slave ships? NO! Some say, well it was used by the KKK, yeah in Ohio and New York both Yankee states mind you. The Klan has always used the American Flag. Others have said, it stands for hate and slavery. If you believe thousands died in the South to protect slavery for the 3-6% who owned them you are indeed misinformed.. The South fought for independence from oppressive taxation. The North had implemented tariffs that were destroying Southern profits. The War was fought for states rights nothing more. The Confederate flag was a flag that stood for every ones rights. If it was so racist why did 160,000 blacks, Spanish, and Native Americans fight under it. If it stood for hate then why did a black representative from the Mississippi state legislature get out of bed sick to vote to build a Confederate monument? John F Harris a black Confederate veteran and elected official from Washington County Mississippi said this about his vote. “I want it known to all the world that my vote is given favor of the bill to erect a monument in honor of the Confederate dead”. It is time for people to stop the ignorance and make a genuine effort to work on race relations in Missouri and to return the flag to where it belongs , over the graves of the men who fought for it. Call Rep. Jetton and Sen. Gibbons and tell them to stop being cowards.

Secure our Borders

Open letter to our elected officials
Dear official, there is a epidemic taking place in the borders of our great state. An epidemic that will in the long run cost us more then any hurricane. It already cost taxpayers millions a year. Yet, as of this letter, you have done little to protect us from it. You managed to pass bills like hand fishing, yet this problem festers everyday. This problem is being ignored by both parties in Washington and here in Missouri. The problem is Illegal immigration. They steal our public education. They are being imprisoned in our overcrowded jails. They acquire fake ID’s and receive social entitlements that are designed to help our citizens. Yet, you sit upon a hill, silent. The people of Missouri demand action. The Constitution Party of Missouri calls for action. We call for the deportation of all illegals currently in our custody and that are found. We call on harsh penalties for any employer who employs illegals. We call on you to enforce your Constitutional oath to protect us from invasion. We will not forget your response on election day. Choose this day whom you will serve, the people or them

HB 1502 is an unwelcomed mandate

RE: Bill would protect all from bullying News Leader 2-17-06

HB 1502 is why no parent in their right mind should send their kids to the Government’s welfare schools. Rep. Lampe now wants Jefferson City to dictate your communities values and school policies. This bill would require all school districts to have one policy in-spite of what the local school board says. This is nothing more then a usurpation of power by people who do not share the same values as you. As long as you have kids, you will have bullying. This is an insult to the teachers. Lampe’s bill acts as if our teachers do nothing to protect their kids from bullying. This is a local issue that should be solved locally. As for Mr. Dressel and his groups obvious voice in this legislation, I say why are you insistent that we accept your abnormal lifestyle as normal. And tell me how a 6 year old can understand that they have an attraction towards the opposite sex? Maybe if we kept your groups agenda out of our schools we wouldn’t have any LGBT youth. Missouri you brought this upon yourself when you decided to push God out of your schools to let Dressel’ group in.

When You Pray

Just a little talk with thee
Last time I talked to you about one of the three acts of righteousness. I thought about it and decided to continue with that theme in this article as well. This time I’d like to talk about prayer. It is a expected task that is rarely practiced. If it is, it is usually a little rehearsed rhyme heard at church or a published one from a little book of prayers. I understand personally this struggle to pray. For years I felt like “why does God want to hear from me“? Then when I got married, it seemed to hit me. In a relationship, there has to be communication. If there is no communication, the relationship stagnates and becomes rough and even unbearable. In communicating, you have a chance to express your feelings, wants and desires. You also have a chance to be validated and to validate the other person. I want to say to you, God wants to talk to you. He wants to hear your desires, needs and hopes. He wants to pour His joy into your life. Prayer is not a magic formula like some may teach. Prayer is not making God into some pawn shop or cosmic genie like others may profess. No, prayer is a just a little talk with God. If one was to go into a Christian bookstore, they would find volumes of books on prayer. One lady has made millions on her series The Power of a Praying… These books are good resources to start a prayer life but ultimately one must develop a more personal prayer life. Jesus, in His sermon on the mount, gives the example we all need. But when you pray do not be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners praying so that they can be seen by men…But when you pray go into your inner room close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret…And when praying do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles, for they suppose they will be heard because of their many words. (Matthew 6:5-7). Also, later in verses 9-15 we see how Jesus wants us to pray. Notice again that it does not say if you pray, but more importantly, when you pray. Jesus commands that we have a prayer life with the Father. Also He says we must keep it personal and not make it an issue for all to see. There is a time and place for corporate prayer, but this is talking about your personal prayer life. You should be praying more often then just at church. Lastly, we see Jesus saying we need not to repeat ourselves. This would make prayer out to be some sort of magic spell as opposed to a personal talk with a loving Father. Some preachers would have you believe that everyday you need to remind God that he promised you this or that and you need to tell Him about it every time you pray. Do not be as the Gentiles, but keep it real. Follow Christ’s example and not man’s.
I got email from my cousin who, like so many in our family, have been called to a life of ministry. I believe it will help those who may have no clue as to how to pray, or where to start. Please enjoy and start a prayer life today.

A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.An empty chair sat beside his bed. The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you'?" said the father.The minister told him his name and then remarked, "I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up."
"Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?". Puzzled, the minister shut the door."I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my life I never knew how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head."
"I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old gentleman continued, "until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me: "Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with God. Here is what I suggest. Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see God on the chair. It's not spooky because He promised: 'I will be with you always'. Then just speak to Him in the same way you're doing with me right now.""So Preacher, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm careful though because if my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."
The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old gentleman to continue on his journey. Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil, and returned to the church.Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her Dad had died that afternoon.Did he die in peace?" he asked. "Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me how much he loved me, and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was one thing strange about his death. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?".
The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said: "I wish we could all go like that!".

Lord of the Bling

Lord of The Bling
As some of you may or may not know, bling is what today’s culture calls: wealth and material possessions. It comes from the hip-hop culture where rap stars flaunt large rings and large wads of cash to show the world that they are all that. What I would like to talk about this month is money. Not in a prosperity doctrine kind of way, but in a what does God expect us to do with all that bling sort of way. After all, he is the Lord of the bling. If you remember, or have been reading this paper long, you’d remember that I wrote about the church’s responsibility, as a whole, to take care of the poor and needy. This month, I want to address the individuals responsibility to give. First, I want to make clear this is not about tithes. Tithing is a principle Jesus did not address because the people were already practicing it without be prodded to. Instead, I want to talk about offerings. Not only does the Bible expect you to tithe, it also expects you to give above and beyond that!
In the book of Matthew, in the sixth chapter, the evangelist writes about the three acts of righteousness which are giving, prayer, and fasting. These are, of course, part of Jesus’ sermon on the mount. Jesus says, when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets…they have their reward in full. (Matthew 6:2 NASB) Notice first that it does not say if you give, but instead it says when you give. This was not a request, but a commandment from Christ himself. Christ expects us to give to the poor. Some may say my tax dollars pay for welfare, so I am helping the poor. How is forced taxation a true sign of giving? Giving is to be done cheerfully, not grudgingly. How many sing and jump when it is time to pay their taxes? Jesus knew we’d always have the poor.(Matthew 26:11) So he knew the importance of instructing the believers to see to their care. There is a difference between being poor and being lazy. The Bible says if a man does not work, he does not eat (2 Thess. 3:10). So if a person is able bodied but chooses not to work, they should not be a recipient of your giving. However, if they are a single mother working two jobs and barely meeting essential bills like lights, heat and food, then this is a chance to show the love of Christ. In today’s society, so many that call themselves poor are simply wanting to keep up with the Jones’s and the Smiths. They believe it is not fair that they cannot afford cell phones, cable TV, and more bling. So discernment will be needed to truly see the needy. I suggest you practice the other two acts of righteousness, prayer and fasting and ask God to show you where you may be used for His glory. Also, your church may have a benevolence fund, so ask your pastor. We have hope in knowing this, that when we follow His commandments, He will reward us. Until next month, continue to worship, not the fellowship of the bling, but the Lord of the bling.

The Constitution party of Missouri response to the State of the Union

E-Mail: info@constitutionparty.org
Website: www.constitutionpartymo.org
Springfield- February 2, 2006 Following the cursory grand entrance and perfunctory bravado, President George W. Bush reported to the citizenry his State of the Union address. After declaring the state of the Union as “strong,” Bush gave us further observations and let us in on his administration’s plans. The Constitution Party of Missouri is left concluding that the only thing reflecting strength is the federal government’s insatiable appetite for regulation of U.S. citizens, economic debt, and world dominance. With the Bush administration accruing the highest debt of any U.S. presidency in history, the President promised more money for welfare schools, AIDS at home and abroad, the winless military conflict in Iraq (~ $1 billion/day), “the oppressed,” medical care/research, etc. To top it off, the President vowed to “end tyranny in the world” while calling for the renewal of the Patriot Act. Catching our collected breath, let’s briefly examine these issues and their implications. Each of the President’s goals lacks not the votes from the two-headed one party system in D.C. What is lacking here is fidelity to the U.S. Constitution with its delegated and enumerated powers, to which every elected official in Washington has sworn to protect and defend. None of these acts, not to mention multitudinous others, find any ground or authority in the Constitution. Thus, truly patriotic Americans are left with a runaway federal government accountable to no fixed standard, only the wanton desires of office holders and their groping constituencies. Sadly, too many Americans love plunder and its pork, and devote themselves to “my government, right or wrong.” They covet their welfare schools, and most other ill-gotten gain from their benevolent “servants” in D.C.; that is statism. The vast majority of Christians are quite satisfied with W the celebrity who declares Islam a “noble race,” one that worships the same god as they according to the all wise President; that is polytheism and blasphemy. While the President is saddling up to ride into the sunset on his conquest to end tyranny in the world, let us remember that he and Congress continue to fund abortion on demand, more socialized medicine, leave our borders porous, send jobs to foreign lands, give more power to unelected foreign bureaucrats, give us irredeemable currency and inestimable debt, and a future that is deservedly bleak. The Constitution Party of Missouri calls on all Christians to pray for President Bush and Congress, but have none of their revolution. Moreover, we call on all Americans to reject pragmatism, “compassionate conservatism”, democracy as a panacea, and all other wayward notions. As our first President declared, “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair, the event is in the hand of God.”

Religious right is not the source of our woes

I just wanted to comment on N. Stark's letter on Patriots are found everywhere in today’s paper. I could not believe that he or she would spout obvious historical myths as if they were truths. I hope she reads this a provides sources because that letter was the biggest dose of hogwash I have read in a long time. Blaming the religious conservatives for our nations problems. What news are you watching. The religious conservative are being ignored. We continue to allow abortions. We teach monkey science to our kids. We, in spite of a winning vote, are moving towards allowing sodomite marriages. ACLU is stripping all acknowledgment of God from the public square. What are you God haters thinking. The religious right is powerless because it is lazy and to scared to buck political correctness. Pastors have no guts to stand for biblical truths in fear of losing tax exempt status. News flash Missouri. The religious Right is not your problem. It is the Neo-cons who play pretend to get the religious vote but are far from being faithful conservatives. Bush is the biggest example. He has a "form of Godliness but denies the power thereof". Praying makes you a Christians about as much as swimming makes you a dolphin. Do not blame the religious conservatives for your woes. They are not the real problem. The problem is corrupt lawmakers, and the ACLU.

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.
