			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong>Warning: Explicit language</strong></p>
<p align="left">Obama/Soetoro/Dunham is a champion of infanticide &#8211; the killing of infants. While serving in the Illinois State Senate, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama, voted three times to allow infants who survive abortion must be left to lay there and die.</p>
<p align="left">Yes, he did vote against the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act. <a href="http://www.jillstanek.com/2008/02/links-to-barack-obamas-votes-on-illinois-born-alive-infant-protection-act/" target="_blank">Click here to see the bills and his comments supporting murder</a>.</p>
<p align="left">Would you stand there and allow a living, breathing infant to die if you were a doctor or nurse? How could anyone, doctor, nurse or just plain human stand by and allow an infant who has survived the horror of abortion &#8211; just let them die without trying to save that precious life? Soetoro did because his soul died a long time ago. And, how did Barry justify it?</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;<a href="http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/08/baipaobamamp3.html" target="_blank">Listen to audio</a> from Obama’s 2002 IL Senate floor debate wherein he argued that while babies might be aborted alive, it would be a “burden” to a mother&#8217;s “original decision” to assess and treat them.&#8221; In other words, the mother wished to kill the infant, so be it.</p>
<p align="left">54% of &#8220;Catholics&#8221; voted for Soetoro in 2008. They voted to elect an individual who denied three times the right of a living, breathing infant born of madness the right to live.</p>
<p align="left">Say, I wonder if those &#8220;Catholics&#8221; got the hope and change they voted into office even though they had no right to vote for an ineligible candidate? God will ask them someday.</p>
<p align="left">On May 9, 2012, the usurper camped out in the White House &#8220;made history&#8221; by once again spitting in God&#8217;s face. He endorsed the legal fiction called &#8220;same sex marriage.&#8221; Oh, boy, the headlines have been burning up the Internet:</p>
<p align="left">Drudge Report &#8211; just a sampling, May 10, 2012:</p>
<p align="left">AP: GAY STANCE SETS &#8216;WORLD PRECEDENT&#8217;&#8230;<br />
FLASHBACK 2009: Cheney endorses gay marriage&#8230;<br />
WASHPOST: &#8216;Wink and a nod&#8217; no longer enough&#8230;<br />

ELLEN: Obama &#8216;brave&#8217; for evolving&#8230;<br />

<p align="left">In December 2010, I wrote a column titled, <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd490.htm" target="_blank">The Queering of Our Military and God&#8217;s Wrath</a>. Of course, it drew vile, filthy emails damning me to Hell and death threats for bringing out the medical facts about sexual deviants, their terrible diseases and recurring health problems.</p>
<p align="left">Stop calling sexual deviants &#8220;gays&#8221;. There is nothing gay about bowel movement sex, males wearing diapers by the time they&#8217;re 40 (if they live that long) or dying of AIDS. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you play the word games of your enemy, you play right into their hands</span>. Men who engage in sodomy (sex in each other&#8217;s rectums and feces) are sodomites.</p>
<p align="left">Sexual deviants choose their immoral and dangerous sexual habits. Despite the massive propaganda eaten up by the &#8220;tolerant&#8221; out there, the so-called &#8220;gay&#8221; gene is a lie:</p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd502.htm" target="_blank">This is the Way God Made Me&#8221;- A Scientific Examination of Homosexuality and the &#8220;Gay Gene&#8221;</a></p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron4.html" target="_blank">Born WHAT Way? By Dr. Paul Cameron</a></p>
<p align="left">&#8220;With the above in mind, consider our society&#8217;s future in light of D. Minkowitz&#8217;s December 29, 1992 editorial in the national gay magazine, The Advocate:</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;I am increasingly impatient with the old chestnut that our movement for public acceptance has not increased and will not increase the number of gay men and lesbians in existence. &#8220;There are more of us than there used to be,&#8221; historian John D&#8217;Elmilio has written. Firmly believing this, I wanted to&#8230; argue the morality of teaching kids that gay is OK even if it means that some will join our ranks&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Indeed. Youth are often attracted to excitement and rebellion. The gay movement is growing.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Minkowitz also argued that the &#8216;born gay&#8217; claim is nothing more than a smokescreen: &#8220;most of the line about homosex[uality] being one&#8217;s nature, not a choice, was articulated as a response to brutal repression&#8230;. &#8216;We didn&#8217;t choose this, so don&#8217;t punish us for it!&#8217; One hundred years later, it&#8217;s time for us to abandon this defensive posture and walk upright on the earth. Maybe you didn&#8217;t choose to be gay &#8211; that&#8217;s fine. But I did.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Just like former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes a few years ago. Ms. Swoopes was previously married to her high school sweetheart; they had a son. In an interview following her &#8220;coming out.&#8221; This was the exchange:</p>
<p align="left">Interviewer: &#8220;You have said that you don&#8217;t believe you were born gay, which, as you said, may confuse many people. How do you believe you came to be gay?&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">SW: &#8220;I think there are a lot of people &#8212; gays and lesbians &#8212; who believe you are born that way. I think there also a lot of people who believe it&#8217;s a choice. And, for me, I believe it was a choice. I was at a point in my life where I had gone through a divorce and was not in a relationship, and the choice I made happened to be that I fell in love with another woman. It might confuse some people, and some people may not understand that, but I think in life, no matter what it is that you&#8217;re doing, you always have a choice and you make that choice and you have to live with that choice. And it just happened that, you know, my partner and I were really, really good friends, and the more we hung out, the more we did stuff together, my feelings grew stronger and stronger for her, and it got to a point to where I said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t fight this any more.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">How you &#8220;came to be gay?&#8221; I thought you were born that way. Ms. Swoopes made the choice of embracing sin because she wants to, not because she was born that way. Is she really a lesbian or a product of years of propaganda shoved down her throat in massive doses by the media and special interest groups? How about men and women in prisons who have turned queer? I watched a cable program where the female prisoners said they turned to other female prisoners for sex because of loneliness. The male prisoners did it with each other just for the sex, not because they were born that way. I guess they&#8217;re not &#8220;real&#8221; lesbians and sodomites.</p>
<p align="left">While this is a profound moral issue rotting our nation from the inside out, it&#8217;s also about science. There isn&#8217;t a scintilla of scientific evidence to prove any human is &#8220;born that way.&#8221; It&#8217;s all been debunked. The propaganda war regarding sexual deviants and same sex marriage should be focused on one thing: science. Not tolerance. Not acceptance. Not politically correct. Science. This is the one thing advocates and sexual deviants refuse to discuss because they cannot win the argument.</p>
<p align="left">You can&#8217;t simply decide one day to change your race to another race. We are all the way God made us. Sodomites and lesbians leave their destructive, preferred sexual preferences all the time. Actress Anne Heche used to have sex with Ellen DeGeneres. Ms. Heche then went on to marry a man, have a child. Unfortunately, she divorced. However, she now lives with a man, not a female. Was she a fake lesbian?</p>
<p align="left">As <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave280.htm" target="_blank">Coach Dave Daubenmire pointed out in his recent column</a>: &#8220;Americans are not permitted to “marry” anyone we want. I can&#8217;t marry my son. I can&#8217;t marry my daughter. If marriage is a “civil right” why are their any restraints on it? Homosexual-sodomy based marriages are special rights…not civil rights…affirmative sin. It is the morality, stupid. Most folks vote the economy, but the economy is a moral issue. Governments lie, steal, cheat, and covet. An amoral government will produce amoral laws. Amoral governments force moral people to follow immoral laws.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">The U.S. government, the U.S. military, hundreds of members of the morally bankrupt U.S. Congress, too many state legislators and the government indoctrination centers they call schools, are now the biggest advocates of spreading AIDS and the &#8220;lavender diseases&#8221; which plague sodomites.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Our&#8221; government and public schools are the biggest advocates in the world pushing to brain wash young boys into believing they are born to have sex in another man&#8217;s rectum. Little girls being force fed it&#8217;s normal for &#8220;two mommies&#8221; to slobber in each other&#8217;s vaginas and suck on their mammary glands like infants. (Don&#8217;t forget their &#8220;male&#8221; sex toys.)</p>
<p align="left">Public schools and major college campuses across the country have been washing the minds of school children for decades to embrace sexual deviancy as normal and healthy. They are nothing more than incubators for churning out dumbed down, compliant cattle. This country is drowning in politically correct madness.</p>
<p align="left">Now, the impostor president called Obama has jumped on the garbage truck to endorse such filth and sin. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/10/obama-raising-hollywood-money-on-heels-gay-marriage-endorsement/" target="_blank">Just in time to scoop up the big bucks</a>:</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;President Obama and his aides claim they&#8217;re just not sure how his endorsement of same-sex marriage will play politically. But his campaign is pushing awfully hard to make sure it plays well.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;The campaign, within hours of Obama&#8217;s interview in which he declared for the first time his support for gay marriage, blasted out a fundraising email to supporters. At dawn on Thursday, the campaign released a web video highlighting the president&#8217;s new-found stance and lambasting likely GOP opponent Mitt Romney&#8217;s opposition to gay marriage.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Now the president is preparing to head to a sold-out fundraiser Thursday evening at George Clooney&#8217;s home in Los Angeles &#8212; where he is sure to be embraced by well-heeled celebrity donors.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Hollywood is home to some of the most high-profile backers of gay marriage and the 150 donors who are paying $40,000 to attend Clooney&#8217;s dinner Thursday night will no doubt feel newly invigorated by Obama&#8217;s watershed announcement the day before.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Overall, the dinner is expected to raise close to $15 million &#8212; about $6 million from the guests and the rest from a campaign contest for small-dollar donors, the winners of which get to participate in the dinner. It is an unprecedented amount for a single event. And it means that in one single evening the Obama camp and the Democratic Party will collect more than Romney has amassed in his best single month of fundraising.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Let me again quote the late, great, magnificent writer, Taylor Caldwell, from her book, Dear and Glorious Physician: The Story of St. Luke, writing about the fall of the Roman Empire:</p>
<p align="left">Tiberius, the Caesar of the time, responded to this attack:</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;I am a soldier. I am surrounded by sycophants and liars, and in that Diodorus speaks truth. What is lavish and uncomprehending praise given out of self-seeking and fear?</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;What is flattery if lips that speak it only fawn, and in that fawning profit? The dull ear is servant to a duller tongue. As a I solider I prefer men of simple truth and without complexities who speak in honor and of patriotism. But where are men today in Rome?&#8221;&#8230;.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Let me tell you this,&#8221; said Tiberius, quietly. &#8220;Venal Caesars, power-mad Caesars, never seize power, never destroy law and their country. Their power is forced on them by an evil and despicable people, a selfish and cowardly people. Where are the guardians of the people&#8217;s liberty then? You are silent, you are slaves in spirit, you are thieves and cowards. But a people deserve their lawmakers.&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Rome!&#8221; he said. &#8220;Do I recognize this Rome of polyglot slaves, of Scythians, Britons, Gauls, barbarians, Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians, and the scum of a whole world? Where are the Romans? They have lost their identity. They have lost their tongues, their minds, their souls, their virility. What have I to do with such a Rome? I am not an honorable man! I am what my people have made me. I am their captive, not their Emperor. Here is no escaping the evil of a debased people.&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;I am here only to do the filthy will of a nation obstinately determined to commit suicide. If I break the law and the Constitution in their greedy behalf, they applaud me. If I have given up my hope of restoring the Treasury, they praise me for having their welfare at heart. Their welfare! Dogs and jackals!&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Despite all the howling denying Soetoro is a socialist, in fact, he is a communist. He was groomed to become one in Hawaii at an early age. He then spent 20 years in &#8220;church&#8221; under the tutelage of the infamous Rev. Wright learning &#8220;Black Liberation Theology&#8221;. A toxic doctrine:</p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.acton.org/pub/commentary/2008/04/02/marxist-roots-black-liberation-theology" target="_blank">The Marxist Roots of Black Liberation Theology</a></p>
<p align="left">&#8220;Black Liberation theologians James Cone and Cornel West have worked diligently to embed Marxist thought into the black church since the 1970s. For Cone, Marxism best addressed remedies to the condition of blacks as victims of white oppression. In For My People, Cone explains that &#8220;the Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism as a tool of social analysis can disclose the gap between appearance and reality, and thereby help Christians to see how things really are.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;In God of the Oppressed, Cone said that Marx&#8217;s chief contribution is &#8220;his disclosure of the ideological character of bourgeois thought, indicating the connections between the &#8216;ruling material force of society&#8217; and the &#8216;ruling intellectual&#8217; force.&#8221; Marx&#8217;s thought is useful and attractive to Cone because it allows black theologians to critique racism in America on the basis of power and revolution.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;For Cone, integrating Marx into black theology helps theologians see just how much social perceptions determine theological questions and conclusions. Moreover, these questions and answers are &#8220;largely a reflection of the material condition of a given society.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Soetoro claims he &#8220;evolved&#8221; into his position supporting the myth called marriage between sexual deviants. Big cash is what caused his &#8220;evolution&#8221;. But, spitting in God&#8217;s face and repudiating Christ will someday make all that cash meaningless in eternity.</p>
<p align="left">I will never recognize marriage between sexual deviants and neither should any church in this country that preaches the word of God. Nor should any business owner who finds sexual deviants offensive. If you are threatened with a lawsuit, argue science because it is the truth that debunks the myth of &#8220;born that way&#8221;. Just because politicians pass some immoral law, doesn&#8217;t mean I have to swim in the sewer with them. This has NOTHING to do with civil rights. <a href="http://www.devvy.com/pdf/masters.pdf" target="_blank">This is about seducing the American people into their own destruction</a>:</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;The Communists planned to create not only a new way of life, but new human beings. They sought to achieve not only the reconstruction of social and cultural institutions, but reconstruction of human beings. Communist totalitarianism has undergone tremendous growth over the past century only because it has “the support of a man of a new social and psychological type”—the “new communitarian (Communist) man.”&#8230;.&#8221;In his book, Soviet Civilization, Andrei Sinyavsky states that the “idea of the new man is the cornerstone of Soviet civilization.” The “new man” is in fact the indispensable, fundamental basis of all totalitarian societies. Totalitarianism requires the support, approval, and fearful veneration of the masses; if the “new men and women” had not been created, totalitarianism would not exist today. The Communists planned to create not only a new way of life, but new human beings. They sought to achieve not only the reconstruction of social and cultural institutions, but reconstruction of human beings. Communist totalitarianism has undergone tremendous growth over the past century only because it has “the support of a man of a new social and psychological type”—the “new communitarian (Communist) man.”</p>
<p>The relatively new mantra chanted by sexual deviants and their supporters is &#8220;social justice&#8221;. That is nothing but more communist propaganda. It bears repeating:</p>
<p align="left">Congressional Record&#8211;Appendix, pp. A34-A35, January 10, 1963, Current Communist Goals, U.S. House of Representatives</p>
<p align="left">25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.</p>
<p>26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as &#8220;normal, natural, healthy.&#8221;</p>
<p>27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with &#8220;social&#8221; religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a &#8220;religious crutch.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">The American people, out of fear in being called intolerant, have walked right into the jaws of the beast. This nation has forsaken all that God has bestowed upon our land in favor of moral rot passed off as &#8220;progressive&#8221;, &#8220;social&#8221; and other words meant to persuade individuals to turn their backs on what they know in their hearts Almighty God has told them is wrong. The created now think they are more powerful than the Creator. A big mistake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The principles of America’s founding amount to a remarkable and radical departure from government, as practiced for centuries prior to the American Revolution. To be sure, a tradition is tied to the theory and to the men responsible. We are, however, quite remarkable as a nation today, because the Founders were indeed radical in their definition of liberty and their uncompromising demand for freedom. The theory of America’s founding may be said to be embodied in the Declaration of Independence. If anyone reads it, he or she finds that it is stated rather clearly, not hard to understand unless you’re a modern day bureaucrat or store bought politician. What comes as shock and discouragement to many, is the realization that it is no longer the dominant theory in our government or in American politics. A new political theory arose during the Progressive Era, which came to dominate outright during the 1960s. Popular and powerful today, it has already changed our government and society and now threatens remaining liberty. But let action proceed first from understanding, and to understand what’s happened, we should review the theory of America’s founding. The material that follows will borrow heavily from work by Thomas G. West and Douglas A. Jeffrey, two eminent historians associated with the Claremont Institute (www.claremont.org) in California.</p>
<p>The ideas or principles that comprise the American theory of government are posited as self-evident truths in the Declaration. They are universal in their application and may be true for men everywhere and for all time, because they are based on the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” They are the proper building blocks for human reason in matters of politics. They are themselves inherent in human nature. To be governed accordingly, is to be governed as well as man can be. These conceptual building blocks for righteous government are: Equality, Natural Rights, Consent, Revolution, God and Honor. The Declaration’s statement of principles begins: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal . . . .” Of course, humans are entirely different from each other in terms of their gifts and attributes. The Founders, however, meant to observe that regardless of differences like looks, talents or strength, etc., human beings are all equal in the life and liberty they are born with and deserve to keep. This kind of equality confers on everyone responsibility as well. James Madison explains in <em>The Federalist</em> 54 that every human being, but no cow, is held morally accountable for violence committed against others, because every man is free to choose his behavior. Moreover, because of the innate temptation to abuse power (part of human nature), equality as the Founders understood it meant that no one should have inordinate power over others.</p>
<p>Men are therefore equal in their potential towards depravity and cruelty, if entrusted with too much power. Madison observed that men are not angels; if they were, there would be no need for government in the first place. As it is, government should not concentrate too much power in the hands of anyone or any group of people. Note that if you deny personal responsibility or pass it along to someone else or worse, to some drug or psychosis or whatever, you practically lose your basis for equality as understood by the Founders. People recategorize themselves with cows all the time, and that’s just not good horse sense. The Founders expected us to walk on two legs and to get up off all fours&#8211;to behave like responsible moral agents, because we are equal in that respect. Only in this way are the great mass of men, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, unfit to be saddled, booted and spurred by the favored few.</p>
<p>The Declaration continues that human beings are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” A right, according to the Founders, is a claim that a person may rightfully make against someone who would deprive him of what is his own. You own your clothes for instance, and you have a <em>right</em> to them. If someone takes them from you, you have a legitimate claim against that person. He or she owes them back&#8211;or rather, he or she has a <em>duty</em> not to take them in the first place. A <em>natural</em> right is a claim to what one rightfully owns by birth, or by way of one’s nature as a human being. Natural rights are unalienable, because they cannot be alienated or given away to someone else. A right from this point of view is a duty from another. If you have a right to liberty, I have a duty to respect that right. The Declaration specifically mentions three unalienable rights. No one may rightfully deny us these things. Note the third one mentioned above is the <em>pursuit</em> of happiness and not happiness itself. But the Declaration also says these three are “among” our natural rights, so there must be others. Additional natural rights may be gleaned from official documents and writings of the Founding era, and they include the rights of conscience and property, free speech and free press, freedom of religion, and others protected in what became our Constitution’s “Bill of Rights.”</p>
<p>The Founders would never have said that you have a right to decent housing, health care, recreation, or anything else before you have worked to get them. It is only after you have acquired your property in some legitimate way that your right to own property comes into play. That said, property rights can be seen as part of the right to liberty and the right to pursue happiness. There is also a natural right to work, and property comes into play here too. We own ourselves and our labor by human nature; ergo, we are free to work and to keep the fruits of our labor. The right to earn property, and to keep the property one earns is fundamental to the conception of Natural Rights shared by the Founders. Moreover, the right of religious liberty was not a right to exclude religion from public life. Indeed, the <em>right</em> to religious liberty flows from the <em>duty</em> that all human beings have towards their Creator. The most basic reason for freedom of religion understood by the Founders, was not to free man from obligation to God or religion, but to free him to perform his duties to God, without obnoxious coercion into modes of worship by fallible human beings in government.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me start with a story. A man who had survived the great Johnstown flood died and went to Heaven. And not long after, all of the inhabitants of Heaven were allowed to take center stage and tell everyone about the most significant event that had happened to them while on Earth. The man couldn’t wait to tell everyone about his surviving the great Johnstown flood. After a long wait in line, it was finally his turn. The man was so excited to tell everyone his story. But just as he was climbing the stairs to the platform, an angel leaned over to him and whispered, “Don’t forget; Noah is in the audience.”</p>
<p>I am reminded of that story when I read the Scriptural passage in Hebrews 12: “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.” The witnesses the Apostle speaks of are the great champions who have gone on before us, which are mentioned in chapter eleven. Included by implication in the great “Hall of Faith” of Hebrews 11 are the three young Hebrews: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (verse 34, “Quenched the violence of fire.”)</p>
<p>So, what was it that got these three young men included in this list that along with the likes of Abraham, Moses, and David? You’ll find their story in Daniel chapter three. In a nutshell, they refused to bow down to the image of the king. In other words, THEY DISOBEYED A CIVIL GOVERNMENT THAT HAD BECOME TYRANNICAL. And for refusing to submit to the king, they were thrown into a burning fiery furnace.</p>
<p>Come to think of it, many of the people named in the Hebrews 11 “Hall of Faith” got there because of civil disobedience. Speaking of Moses, the Scripture says, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king.” So, when did Moses forsake Egypt? When he killed the Egyptian taskmaster who was beating a Hebrew slave to death. That’s when!</p>
<p>Rahab is also mentioned in this Biblical “Hall of Faith.” Who was Rahab, and what did she do? She was a prostitute who lied to government soldiers and helped the Hebrew spies escape the city of Jericho. Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthae are also listed. Who are they, and what did they do? They were men who led armed rebellions against oppressive governments to which they had been subject.</p>
<p>Daniel is inferred in Hebrews 11 when it says, “Stopped the mouths of lions.” What did he do? He refused to submit to his civil government when commanded to not pray aloud (for only thirty days). And for refusing to submit to his government, he was cast into a den of hungry lions. Yes, God delivered Daniel from the lions and the three young Hebrews from the burning furnace of fire. But the point is, they each DISOBEYED civil government, and God brags on them for it in Hebrews 11.</p>
<p>So, what are all these “Romans 13-ers” going to say to Daniel, Moses, and Gideon when they get to Heaven? What are they going to say to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? What are they going to say to those men who “overthrew kingdoms” (Heb. 11:33), “waxed valiant in combat” (vs. 34), and “turned to flight . . . armies”? (Armies are government-sanctioned, government-supported, government-ordered entities–vs. 34.)</p>
<p>I cannot count the number of times I have heard some TV or radio preacher say something to the effect, “Well, I’m glad we were given freedom here in the United States, but our Founding Fathers were wrong to rebel against the British Crown. According to Romans 13, they should have submitted to King George.” Barf! Gag! Spit! What hypocrisy!</p>
<p>To all of the Romans 13 Pharisees out there, I say, if you are really going to believe and preach that garbage, at least be honest enough to stop celebrating Independence Day on July 4. It was the day when men became traitors to Great Britain and officially declared a revolutionary war. And stop flying the Stars and Stripes in your church auditoriums. It was the flag of rebellion. How dare you say America’s founders violated Romans 13 in one breath and with the next breath say you thank God for the freedom that was purchased AT THE SACRIFICE OF THE BLOOD OF THE MEN YOU SAY VIOLATED ROMANS 13! Pardon me, but I just cannot think of anything that is more hypocritical than that!</p>
<p>And remember this about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: it was AFTER they disobeyed their king and were thrown into the furnace of fire that they met the Son of God. It was King Nebuchadnezzar who said, “I see four men loose . . . the fourth is like the Son of God.” (Daniel 3:25)</p>
<p>Think about it: where did Moses meet the Lord? In the wilderness by a burning bush after he had defied Egyptian tyranny by killing an Egyptian taskmaster who was beating a Hebrew slave to death. Where did Gideon meet the Lord? In a threshing floor as he willowed his grain in defiance of evil civil authority. When did Stephen meet the Lord? When political and religious leaders were stoning him to death for refusing to submit to their iniquitous injunctions. And think of this, too: where did the Lord Jesus meet man? On a bloody Roman cross–being placed there by the civil and religious rulers of His day.</p>
<p>Most Christians today are looking to meet the Lord in a heated or air conditioned church sanctuary with padded pews and ornate windows, with an orchestra playing and a choir singing, and fried chicken waiting for them after the service. But that’s not where you’re going to find the Fourth Man.</p>
<p>When you resist the religious Pharisees who are trying to intimidate and coerce you into submitting to their legalism and tyranny, then you will see the Fourth Man. When you resist the power establishment that demands that you accept their politically correct philosophies and ideologies, then you will see the Fourth Man. When you refuse to be bought, bribed, or bullied by the “good old boy” network that seeks to control you, then you will see the Fourth Man. When you resist your family and friends who try to shame you into abandoning the principles of liberty and freedom that God, Himself, has planted in your heart, then you will see the Fourth Man. When you are threatened and persecuted and you say, “I must obey God rather than men,” then you will see the Fourth Man.</p>
<p>Do you really think you’re going to find the One who went to a bloody cross in a meadow of roses? The only roses He knew were the ones whose thorns were smashed on his skull. You won’t find him in a garden, unless it’s the Garden of Gethsemane. You’ll find the One who went to the Cross in the same place that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego found Him: in the Burning Fiery Furnace.</p>
<p>God said told us that when we pass through the floodwaters, and when we walk through the fire, we would find Him to be with us. (Isaiah 43:2)</p>
<p>Of course, let me be careful to say that real Christians are peacemakers. They desire to live a quiet and peaceable life with their neighbors, their civil authorities, and even with other nations. They readily recognize and respect lawful, God-ordained authority. But, at the same time, they will not surrender that which is holy and give it to swine! They absolutely will not become toadies for unlawful government that attempts to usurp the God-given authority and jurisdiction to which it has been divinely assigned!</p>
<p>I am often reminded of this quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “There are, I am sorry to say, many Temples in our midst in this country which are no better than brothels.”</p>
<p>Gandhi’s quote could be said of many so-called churches in America today, for they, too, have become little more than glorified brothels that pimp for the government. “Submit! Obey! Don’t resist!” they constantly preach. I wonder what they will say one day to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">“No nation ever did nor ever can retain its liberty after the loss of the sword and the purse.” &#8212; Patrick Henry</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The past few days the Internet has been burning up with these stories:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://www.infowars.com/yes-the-re-education-camp-manual-does-apply-domestically-to-u-s-citizens/" target="_blank">Yes, The Re-Education Camp Manual Does Apply Domestically to U.S. Citizens</a></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;A shocking U.S. Army manual that describes how political activists in prison camps will be indoctrinated by specially assigned psychological operations officers contains numerous clear references to the fact that the policies do apply domestically to U.S. citizens.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://www.infowars.com/joel-skousen-army-document-reveals-citizens-to-be-treated-as-enemy-combatants/" target="_blank">Joel Skousen: Army Document Reveals Citizens to be Treated as Enemy Combatants</a></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Why this would shock anyone who has been active in fighting the totalitarian thugs in Washington, DC, is beyond me. Let me once again cite this from many of my past columns that should have been a warning to wake up:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;1987: Then U.S. Attorney General William French Smith blew the whistle on a fairly low ranking Marine officer by the name of Oliver North. According to Smith, Lt. Col. Oliver North directly helped draft a plan in 1984 to impose martial law in the United States in the event of an emergency. This secret plan would suspend the U.S. Constitution and turn over control of the government to the little known agency at that time: FEMA. This plan would appoint military commanders to run state and local governments. Implementation of this plan would have been triggered by violent and wise spread internal dissent, disagreement with government policy or national opposition to any U.S. military invasion abroad. Essentially, it amounted to a complete and total suspension of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;Investigators who uncovered this plan believe that between 1983 &#8211; 1986, North&#8217;s office was the &#8216;central command center&#8217; for this informal secret structure which involved more than the illegal sale of arms to Iran and illegal funding of the underground war in Nicaragua under President Ronald Reagan. &#8220;Lifers&#8221; in the military were shocked, saying at the time that no Lt. Colonel is ever given the kind of power North was apparently given within this secret structure. So great was his authority, he could have the orbits of sophisticated satellites altered to follow Soviet ships around the world or launch high-flying spy aircraft on secret missions. Some even compared this whole operation as eerily similar to the one portrayed in the movie, Clear and Present Danger, starring Harrison Ford (1994).</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;North wasn&#8217;t alone in this secret structure. Others included Reagan&#8217;s closest advisers: U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, CIA Director William Casey and National Security Adviser William Clark. Congressional investigators at the time were shocked by how far along this secret structure and planning had progressed. Arthur Liman, who was the chief counsel of the Senate&#8217;s Iran-Contra committee stated in a memo that Oliver North was at the center of what he called a &#8220;secret government within a government.&#8221; Prior to those hearings, Liman wrote that a policy decision made at the highest levels during the Iran Contra scandal &#8220;&#8230;reveals the whole secret government within a government, operated from the Executive Office Building by a lieutenant colonel with its own army, air force, diplomatic agents, intelligence operatives and appropriations capacity.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Think Ronald Reagan didn&#8217;t know what North was doing?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Section 1-3 of that Army Training Manual cited in the first link above talks about military and civilian internees. If you read the entire <a href="http://info.publicintelligence.net/USArmy-InternmentResettlement.pdf" target="_blank">Contents section</a> it appears to be written for overseas operations. The designation CI (civilian internee) is used in the charts. No doubt we&#8217;ll hear all sorts of protestations by government lackeys this doesn&#8217;t apply to you and me. Anyone who believes anything coming out of Washington, DC, anymore is either in denial or a damn fool.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Then we have this one:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://www.beaconequity.com/we-are-preparing-for-massive-civil-war-says-dhs-informant-2012-05-03/#ixzz1u0R7H45o" target="_blank">&#8220;We are Preparing for Massive Civil War,” Says DHS Informant</a></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;In a riveting interview on TruNews Radio, Wednesday, private investigator Doug Hagmann said high-level, reliable sources told him the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is preparing for “massive civil war” in America. Folks, we&#8217;re getting ready for one massive economic collapse,” Hagmann told TruNews host Rick Wiles. “We have problems . . . The federal government is preparing for civil uprising,” he added, “so every time you hear about troop movements, every time you hear about movements of military equipment, the militarization of the police, the buying of the ammunition, all of this is . . . they (DHS) are preparing for a massive uprising. &#8220;Hagmann goes on to say that his sources tell him the concerns of the DHS stem from a collapse of the U.S. dollar and the hyperinflation a collapse in the value of the world&#8217;s primary reserve currency implies to a nation of 311 million Americans, who, for the significant portion of the population, is armed.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Can you believe Hagmann about his &#8220;high-level, reliable sources&#8221;? <a href="http://www.debbieschlussel.com/2284/northeast-intelligence-network-or-northeast-plagiarism-network/" target="_blank">Not according to Debbie Schussel</a>:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Northeast “Intelligence” Network or Northeast Plagiarism Network?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;The old adage says that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But actually, that&#8217;s not always true. In the world of writing and research, imitation is the most insincere form of armed robbery. But, at least in a real armed robbery, you usually see the guy with his gun and you know he is stealing from you. With plagiarists, they just steal your hard work behind your back. That was the case with the so-called Northeast Intelligence Network a/k/a NEIN a/k/a HomelandSecurityUS.com and its main operator, Douglas J. Hagmann, who on Monday, ripped off something I wrote–passing it off as the work of himself and his site&#8217;s “investigators,” who apparently don&#8217;t even exist. If the intelligence and terrorism expertise business is a matter of stealing the work of others and passing it off as your own, then I guess he&#8217;s good at it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I don&#8217;t know those individuals, but what I do know is none of this is new &#8211; except the Department of Fatherland Security. A draconian enforcement arm for the traitors working to destroy this republic, kissed and blessed by your incumbent in the Outlaw Congress and mine. When I say not new, the shadow government has been planning for civil unrest for a long time. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">As the economy continues to tank, millions more unemployed and millions more Americans see everything they&#8217;ve ever worked for blown away like a puff of smoke, the powers who really control our lives know things could get messy. No one in their right mind wants that, but between the agitators, who I believe are paid by the government, and the jackass fools in the Occupy Movement, very likely could set things off. That would set the government&#8217;s propaganda machine into overdrive with you and me as the target.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Read this essay I scanned and have linked to over and over trying to get people to see what was/is coming down the pipeline:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8216;Our civilian-military face-off&#8217; (<a href="http://www.devvy.com/pdf/military_face_off.pdf" target="_blank">Sacramento Bee, November 30, 1997</a>):</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;Bill of Rights No Obstacle for the [Marine] Corps. This piece exposed the mindset way back then that at some point due to: &#8220;&#8230;the rising potential for civil disobedience within the inner cities it is &#8216;inevitable&#8217; the U.S. military will be employed more often within American borders.&#8221; Read on: &#8220;The next real war we fight is likely to be on U.S. soil.&#8221; That huge essay goes on to talk about military operations against Americans right here at home &#8211; in your state, in your town.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">In 1999, another report, which I have and scanned, is titled Homegrown Extremists, International Association of Under Cover Officers. That report covers: Know Your Enemy &#8211; Who Are They? How did it get this way? Recruiting and evolution of extremists; public meetings, pro-life movement, churches. Conspiracy theories: The New World Order, the Federal Reserve and so forth. <a href="http://devvy.net/pdf/oct07/Homegrown_Extremists.pdf" target="_blank">You can read it all here</a>; the instructors are listed on page two.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I am fully aware that the Department of Fatherland Security has ordered more than 750 million rounds of ammunition over the past few years as well as other alphabet soup agencies.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I also continue to get the constant barrage of emails about gun grabbing efforts, how the IRS has the right to take away your guns and on and on and on.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Does anyone ever do anything about it? Sure: &#8220;Send your donation now to protect your Second Amendment rights!!!&#8221; That is the ever constant mantra from organizations that depend on the never ending fight to protect the Second Amendment. It&#8217;s their paycheck. There&#8217;s no money in the cure, only the treatment. Remember that.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><strong>The solution to all of this is still there and continues to be ignored while everyone keeps on whining.</strong></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Aw, gee, Devvy, we&#8217;re just trying to fight the gun grabbers in Washington. Well, hasn&#8217;t it occurred to folks by now that all that fighting ain&#8217;t fixing the problem?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The only solution is the constitutional militia. Not private militias, but the militia as stated in the Second Amendment &#8220;&#8230;being necessary to the security of a free State..&#8221;. As I have written before, there are a lot of private militia in this country doing great work. Dedicated Americans training to help law enforcement with natural disasters and things of that sort. However, it has to be your state legislature that writes the statute for your state and gets your governor to sign it into law and if vetoed, override the veto. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I don&#8217;t care how busy you are, so am I. Like millions of other fellow Americans, I have given up fun and leisure to learn the solutions, not more Band Aids. Reading is time consuming, but it&#8217;s how we all can learn the truth:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><strong>•</strong> <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin15.htm" target="_blank">The Constitutional Militia, Slavery, &amp; Contemporary &#8220;Gun Control&#8221;</a><br />
<strong>•</strong> <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin16.htm" target="_blank">&#8220;The Militia of The Several States&#8221; Guarantee the Second Amendment</a><br />
<strong>•</strong> <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin61.htm" target="_blank">True vs False Militia and Why the Difference Matters</a></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">To help everyone because of time constraints, I did put some of Dr. Edwin Vieria&#8217;s columns on the militia on a CD so you can listen in your car during your commute to work or travels. <a href="http://devvy.net/audio/daily_dose_constitutional_militia.html" target="_blank">You can download that CD here for free</a>; make copies and hand them out at gun shows, group meetings and to family and friends.</span></p>

Dr. Vieira presents his &#8220;visual Constitution&#8221; to make plainly clear what should and must be done for our nation to deal with these present and ever-increasing crisis.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">It is one of the most powerful tools I&#8217;ve ever seen and every Tea Party chapter, 9/12 groups and other patriotic groups should view. 4 DVD&#8217;s, 8 1/2 hours. It&#8217;s also THE one thing you need to send to your state representative because that is where the constitutional militia will be reconstituted. Not by the NRA. If money is tight, split the cost with like minded patriots, but get it. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">SB 1083 was in the hopper out in Arizona this year: &#8220;Would establish the Arizona State Guard, a volunteer military force under the control of the Governor, for the purpose of &#8220;securing the safety and protection of the lives and property of the citizens of this state.&#8221; Their legislature has gone out of session; <a href="http://www.azcdl.org/html/bill_tracking.html" target="_blank">the bill never made it</a>. If you live in Arizona, you might wish to <a href="http://www.azcdl.org/html/news.html" target="_blank">join up with the Arizona Citizens Defense League</a> &#8211; they are growing strong and they are active.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The only thing that is going to get state legislators to realize our very survival depends on reconstituting the constitutional militia is boots on the ground. Instead of wasting more time and money &#8220;fighting the gun grabbers&#8221;, every gun owner must understand that only massive heat directed at your state representative and senator is going to get this done. That means opening a dialogue with him/her. Try to get a meeting and sit down with your representative as a group. Even if your state legislature is out of session, go to your state representative&#8217;s web site. Many of them list their home phone. If not, call their local district office. Invite him/her to a breakfast or lunch or meeting. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Give your representative the CD with Edwin&#8217;s columns and ask he/she to listen to it and you&#8217;ll get back to them. Follow up is critical. <a href="http://www.heritageresearchinstitute.org/PurseSwordPage.htm" target="_blank">If you can, order a copy of the Purse and Sword</a>. Hand deliver it to your state representative and make it politely understood that if he/she wants to get reelected in November, this has to be a top priority for the 2013 session and you will hold them accountable.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">If you are armed with the facts and present them &#8211; not as an attempt to go to war with the General Government because it&#8217;s not &#8211; but from a constitutional perspective, it will go a long way towards erasing propaganda about the word militia.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The Second Amendment:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&#8220;<strong>A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State</strong>, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.&#8221;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">There was a reason the framers of the Constitution worded the Second Amendment as you see above. Until I began reading Dr. Edwin Vieria&#8217;s <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwinA.htm" target="_blank">scholarly and thoroughly researched columns</a>, I really did not understand the brilliance of that one sentence. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">A state cannot be free when the General Government continues to send their thugs inside the state terrorizing citizens over things like raw milk or &#8220;laws&#8221; that allegedly give them the &#8220;right&#8221; to arrest and detain citizens under the vile &#8220;Patriot&#8221; Act and subsequent draconian laws. Nor can the people of any state be free when local law enforcement turn into thugs who use tazers on handicapped folks, the elderly and stomping on your God-given rights just because they wear a badge. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Stress this fact to your state legislator: The legislatures can&#8217;t keep fighting every &#8220;law&#8221; that comes out of Washington, DC, further eroding our rights, liberty and freedom. Quit trying to climb a sand dune. The solution is right there.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I&#8217;m sick to death of my email box filing up with emails that Marxist Hillary Clinton and the communist UN are going to grab your guns &#8211; always followed by twenty exclamation marks. Treaties cannot over ride the U.S. Constitution. It&#8217;s up to the states to enforce that legal fact because the states created the General Government. If your state rep and senator doesn&#8217;t have the courage to stand up for your rights and your state, boot them out of office in November. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">No more expensive lawsuits to fight off one &#8220;law&#8221; after another either from the state or the Outlaw Congress from taking away your guns. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">At least some senators in Arizona&#8217;s legislature understand the problem, but it&#8217;s not enough. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Time is not on our side</span>. Are you one of the warrior class or just someone who keeps forwarding emails about the problem?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Are we going for the only solution or is everyone just going to continue wringing their hands? </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On February 5th of 2007, my mama passed away. Mother’s Day is still her day, but it has a different feel. There are some things about it I want to tell you. As an historian, I’ve read accounts of men dying on battlefields during World War II. Frequently they cried out for their mothers. While I’m sure there are still those cases, it is clear intuitively as well as empirically, they are more infrequent today. While anecdotal, the reason speaks volumes to what has happened to families and to relations between mothers and children, particularly between mothers and sons, female teachers and their pupils. At that time there was this great controversy about Don Imus and his “Imus in the Morning” radio show—and the broad cultural pollution of hurtful, degrading things said about women, whether or not they are mothers, whether or not they are African-American. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day fly in the face of that pollution and also the anecdotal trend I mentioned. Mother’s Day reminds me there is a difference, and special roles attendant to both genders. Maybe not in every individual case, and yes I know women make great soldiers and engineers; and men take care of babies too. Moreover, chivalry has its pitfalls, and women shouldn’t be overly revered. Like sports figures, mothers never asked to be role models or standard bearers for others’ moral compasses. They’ve proven they can be sexual predators, and even murderers (no longer murderesses) almost as well as men can. Although I confess to the prejudice, that men do those things better.</p>
<p>But ‘I am what I am by the grace of God,’ and whether this is a liberated Twenty-First century or the misogynist Nineteenth, according to feminist historians, I do and shall utterly reject the androgynous image of this crazy day in which we live; and I shall do so in honor of my sweet mama—even in honor of what she lacked and fell short of. At the end of the day, I love her. Perhaps it is only a biological device, no doubt transferable, that wracks me with grief and also with gratitude when I recall: how she sacrificed to give my brother and I everything she could as a single parent; and we, selfish little boys, took every advantage as if we deserved it, because Mama said we did. And all the while she did without so many things, so much of the time, in order to set us up higher than she could climb, or at least to give us that chance. There is absolutely no doubt that her life would have been better without us in many respects. It seems to me she gave her bloom to her sons instead. At the end of the day, however, she loved us and told us so. Therein lies a great mystery, and it is spiritual, not merely biological and most certainly not rational. I was just a kid in 1970 when “Love Story” starring Ryan O&#8217;Neal and Ali MacGraw came to the screen. It was a romantic tearjerker that I didn’t thoroughly get or appreciate at the time. The most confusing line in it seems to have become the most famous: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” I never figured the line out until February 5th, 2007.</p>
<p>My mama and I had a few issues. I left the nest abruptly when I joined the Army and went to West Point. The selfish little boy just got bigger and hardly looked back at all. The worst thing I did apparently was to get married, and I never understood how the perfect mother could turn into the stereotypically bad mother-in-law. For all my own faults, and there are many, she did not know that you cannot continue to be a wonderful mother and a terrible mother-in-law—for both are the same things at different stages. But I learned something from the death of my mother. Namely, that no matter what she’d done or not done; no matter the accumulated disappointments, missed opportunities for amends and longed for changes of hearts; no matter the inadequacies on all sides, the unwise choices, frailties and jealousies; no matter the outbursts of temper, meanness, emotionalism, impulsiveness and stupid will of a stubborn little girl who didn’t get what she wanted—and the little boy who didn’t either; no matter all this and more, overdrawn or not drawn well enough, I had it within me undisturbed, intact, holy and pure, <em>Love</em>. I loved her regardless, and I love her now. I love her in spite of it; and nothing in the world will ever outweigh, diminish, dilute, or cancel that love. It is so far above and beyond and of such purer stuff, than anyone or everyone saying they’re sorry. And so I cried, and cried and cried for my mother on this battlefield of life. And it occurs to me this kind of love is something God knows well and feels towards us. Oh for change of hearts and making amends before death parts!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The National Day of Prayer is an annual event passed by joint resolution of Congress in 1952 and signed into law by President Truman. Of course the tradition of calling for special days set aside for prayer goes back much further, indeed to the American Revolution and to the First Continental Congress in 1775. The National Day of Prayer is observed on the first Thursday of May each year. Because our nation continues to navigate through extremely challenging days, the National Day of Prayer Task Force chose “One Nation Under God” as this year’s theme. It is perhaps something to remember moreover, that this year is a pivotal election year. The inspiration for the 2012 theme is found in Psalm 33:12, which offers this important reminder: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord&#8230;”</p>
<p>Another verse worth referencing is Nahum 1:7 which states, “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Indeed, the Book of Nahum is interesting, in that, it is actually a warning to Israel about God’s wrath and the destruction of the wicked, and a prophecy about the downfall of the city of Nineveh. There may be some allusion here to these United States! But then there are the words “for such a time as this,” taken from the Book of Esther. It is in Esther we find a message of hope and also of deliverance, and one may at least pray there’s an allusion to us in that Book as well.</p>
<p>Esther was a beautiful Jewish maiden. She was orphaned and brought up by her cousin Mordecai, who held office and served Xerxes the king of Persia. After dethroning his very difficult wife Vashti, the king chose Esther to take her place as queen. Mordecai and Esther did not reveal their relationship, however, probably because they did not want her Jewish parentage to enter in and become a point of contention or prejudice. Meanwhile another officer named Haman hated Jews almost pathologically, so much that he actually presumed upon the king’s authority and ordered their persecution throughout the kingdom. It is upon that occasion that Mordecai approaches Esther and asks her to intervene on their people’s behalf. At first she does not appreciate her influence, and she does not quite know the limits of her position. She is cautious at least, even afraid to broach the king on this subject knowing how hot tempered he could be. She might be viewed as being difficult like Vashti. She might blow her political capital so to speak, her query dismissed as mere nuisance or worse as a bald imposition.</p>
<p>Mordecai nevertheless persuades her to find courage and to persevere, by reminding her of the gravity of the situation and of greater purpose beyond her mortal self. He references the unlikely series of events that brought her to the throne and suggests to Esther that she may have come into her position just “for such a time as this.” It is a peculiarity of the Book of Esther that the name of God does not once occur in it, but the reality of God is clearly present. Esther obtains permission from the king to arrange a banquet and to invite Haman. She petitions the king at the banquet to stop all the outrages being committed against Jews in the kingdom. When asked by the king who is responsible for the terrible things she describes, she fingers none other than Haman who is there present. In an amazing turnabout, Haman is hung on the very gallows he had built and prepared for Mordecai. Talk about poetic justice! As for the Jews, they “rested from their enemies” and were allowed to take revenge—their desperate situation having turned in an instant “from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day” (Esther 9:22).</p>
<p>Today these United States of America face a desperate situation economically and politically, and the nation is in dire need of prayer. The people need Mordecai’s encouragement, in order to weather unemployment and a rapidly approaching debt crisis, taxes and overregulation; they need to be reminded like Esther, of their exalted position in the Republic. Americans have enemies around the world to be sure. They also have enemies within and our own share of officers in the government who presume upon the authority of the people and who subvert the written Constitution and intent of the Founders. It behooves us to remember, however, that turnabouts come quickly. Exposing evildoers in public can have a dramatic effect as it did with ACORN, and one single election can reverse four years of very bad policy practically in an instant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been writing about vote fraud since 1993. Few Americans became interested in the cold reality that since the mid-1960s our elections have been rigged until the 2000 presidential election and the farce known as &#8216;hanging chads&#8217;. As regular readers of my columns know I belong to no party; I left the Republican Party in 1996 over vote fraud and the putrid world of dirty politics where the truth didn&#8217;t matter. It still doesn&#8217;t to party hacks whose only goal is to climb the political ladder of power.</p>
<p>The Florida recount energized Democrats; the howling was heard from coast to coast. Laughable when you consider the Democratic Party machine is more famous for vote fraud than Republicans. Both sides engage in it and that&#8217;s a fact.</p>
<p>The 2004 presidential &#8220;election&#8221; was another farce. An illusion to keep the herds believing their vote actually counted. It only counts when those who count the ballots put it in the desired win column. In 2008, Richard Hayes Phillips book, Witness To A Crime: A Citizens&#8217; Audit of an American Election, was published. That book is an absolute condemnation of vote fraud in the State of Ohio. Phillips, who I interviewed when I had my radio show, examined 126,00 ballots, 127 poll books and 141 voter signature books from 18 counties: &#8220;Thousands of ballots in heavily Democratic precincts were pre-punched for third-party candidates. Voting machines were rigged, tabulators were rigged, ballot boxes were stuffed, ballots were altered, ballots were sorted according to candidate, and ballots were destroyed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fair and impartial elections is our absolute right in this country regardless of what party you belong to or what candidate you support. For the destroyers and their minions, putting the same incumbents back into office to carry out the planned destruction of this republic is the only goal. The Department of InJustice under Eric Holder, a racist and as corrupt a political animal as they come, is going after many states in their attempt to stop voter registration fraud. The Democratic Party wants illegal aliens, felons and dead people voting. It&#8217;s the only way they can win. A dirty machine stealing our elections for their agenda.</p>
<p>Obama/Soetoro has no constitutional authority to run for the presidency. He didn&#8217;t in 2008, yet that malignant narcissist and pathological liar continues to camp out in the the people&#8217;s White House because of cowardice by judges and career politicians. Barry Soetoro, the last known legal name for Barack Hussein Obama, is already on the campaign trail and now &#8211; unless it is stopped &#8211; the mechanism is in place to fix the election in his favor &#8211; again.</p>
<p>Spanish Company Will “Count” American Votes Overseas In November</p>
<p>&#8220;When the Spanish online voting company SCYTL bought the largest vote processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa based corporation purchased by SCYTL in January, supplies the election software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26 states–900 total jurisdictions–across the nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;As the largest election results reporting company in the US, SOE provides reports right down to the precinct level. But before going anywhere else, those election returns are routed to individual, company servers where the people who run them “…get ‘first look’ at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.” In short, “this redirects results …to a centralized privately held server which is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global.”</p>
<p>&#8220;And although the votes will be cast in hometown, American precincts on Election Day, with the Barcelona-based SCYTL taking charge of the process, they will be routed and counted overseas&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;t has also been claimed that SCYTL CEO Pere Valles is a socialist who donated heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign and lived in Chicago during Obama’s time as Illinois State Senator. Unfortunately, given what is known about the character of Barack Obama, such rumors must be taken as serious threats to the integrity of the 2012 vote and the legitimate outcome of the election.</p>
<p>&#8220;Though much has been written about the threat of nationwide voting by illegals in November, it is still true that most election fraud is an “inside” job. And there now exists a purely electronic voting service which uses no physical ballots to which an electronic count can be matched should questions arise. Add to this the fact that the same company will have “first count” on all votes made in 14 US states and hundreds of jurisdictions in 12 others, and the stage is set for election fraud on a scale unimaginable just a decade ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>It gets worse:</p>
<p>&#8220;Because the CEO of SKYTL, Pere Valles, a socialist who donated heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign and lived in Chicago during Obama’s time as Illinois State Senator, will be counting our ballots. He used to be VP and Chief Financial officer of GlobalNET, a NASDAQ publicly traded telecommunications company headquartered in Chicago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why we should be concerned</p>
<p>&#8220;So what does this mean for all us non-European voters here in America?</p>
<p>&#8220;According to Michael Savage, “[T]his critical component to a free election, the transparent tabulation of votes, will not be handled by individual precincts but by a company over which we will have little control…The problem is that once the votes are merged, it will be impossible to go back and check their integrity at the local level. It is very likely that this is the final step in Barack Obama’s corruption of the voting process. It has the promise of enabling him and his cohorts to control the outcomes of federal elections with no accountability. On top of that it&#8217;s one more step toward a global government.”</p>
<p>&#8220;There are no Americans on the Board of Directors of Scytl—but CEO Pere Valles once lived and worked in Barack’s old stomping grounds, Chicago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bev Harris is truly a warrior when it comes to vote fraud in this country. Her web site, BlackBoxVoting, is dedicated to nothing but vote fraud and a lot of hard work goes into keeping us informed. Bev breaks it down even further:</p>
<p>&#8220;In a major step towards global centralization of election processes, the world&#8217;s dominant Internet voting company has purchased the USA’s dominant election results reporting company.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you view your local or state election results on the Internet, on portals which often appear to be owned by the county elections division, in over 525 US jurisdictions you are actually redirected to a private corporate site controlled by SOE software, which operates under the name ClarityElections.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;The good news is that this firm promptly reports precinct-level detail in downloadable spreadsheet format. As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news is that this centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing.</p>
<p>&#8220;As local election results funnel through SOE’s servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get “first look” at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 2004, many Americans were justifiably concerned when, days before the presidential election, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell redirected Ohio election night results through the Tennessee-based server for several national Republican Party operations.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is worse: This redirects results reporting to a centralized privately held server which is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global.</p>
<p>&#8220;A mitigation against fraud by SOE insiders has been the separation of voting machine systems from the SOE results reports. Because most US jurisdictions require posting evidence of results from each voting machine at the precinct, public citizens can organize to examine these results to compare with SOE results. Black Box Voting spearheaded a national citizen action to videotape / photograph these poll tapes in 2008.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the merger of SOE and SCYTL, that won&#8217;t work (if SCYTL’s voting system is used). When there are two truly independent sources of information, the public can perform its own “audit” by matching one number against the other.</p>
<p>&#8220;These two independent sources, however, will now be merged into one single source: an Internet voting system controlled by SCYTL, with a results reporting system also controlled by SCYTL.</p>
<p>&#8220;With SCYTL internet voting, there will be no ballots. No physical evidence. No chain of custody. No way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes, chain of custody, or the count.</p>
<p>&#8220;SCYTL is moving into or already running elections in: the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India and Australia.</p>
<p>&#8220;SCYTL is based in Barcelona; its funding comes from international venture capital funds including Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who in your state authorized SCTYL to count your vote? Your state legislature? Get on the phone and find out. Do YOU want our voting system to be controlled globally? This monstrous set up will make sure fraud is once again shoved in our faces while Soetoro and his global pals laugh in our face. SCYTL has also contracted with the Department of Defense, W. VA, NY, DC, AL and Florida for overseas ballots and military votes. This is truly one of the most brazen plans I&#8217;ve seen since I first began writing and speaking out about vote fraud stealing our elections.</p>
<p>Vote fraud has been allowed to flourish for decades because most candidates will not demand a hand recount of the ballots in front of the public. I&#8217;ve written about it over and over and over until I&#8217;m blue in the face. If Sharron Angle had audited the vote in Nevada, Harry Reid would not be in the U.S. Senate today. Of course, the entire U.S. Senate is serving under a law that does not exist. Candidates owe it to their supporters to audit the dang vote when they lose.</p>
<p>I am not exaggerating when I tell you that stinking communist in the White House will once again get elected even though no one has the right to vote for him because he does not meet constitutional requirements.</p>
<p>Unless boots on the ground in the millions demand answers and stop SCYTL from counting a single vote in this country and for our military. When this is published, I&#8217;m sending a copy to my state representative and a few others in our legislator who actually care about our voting process because Texas is on the list. If you&#8217;re a tea party group, 9/12 group or just an individual like me &#8211; get on the phone and demand answers from your state representative and your county clerk. Ask the county clerk about what type of machine will be used to steal your vote in November. Why waste your time and money supporting a candidate for president when we know the fix is already in for November?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Anyone who has been reading my columns for any length time knows that I am a staunch supporter (and, yes, friend) of Texas Congressman Ron Paul. I have written previously on why I believe Dr. Paul is the man that should be elected President of the United States in 2012. I’ve devoted several columns to promoting Ron Paul’s Presidential candidacy. <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin696.htm" target="_blank">Here was my latest</a>.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I am also on record as saying I believe that historians will recognize Ron Paul as being the greatest US Congressman in American history. Rep. Paul has been the voice of constitutional government and liberty on Capitol Hill for nearly two and a half decades. No one in Washington, D.C., has even come close to his leadership and courage.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">That said, the disconcerting element of the 2012 elections is that Dr. Paul has already made the announcement that he will not seek reelection to the US House of Representatives. That means, if Ron is not elected President, the American people will not have his voice in Washington, D.C., for the first time in over a generation. That thought is extremely troubling. Who would be the man to whom the mantle of constitutional leadership could be passed? The answer: the man who is running for Dr. Paul’s congressional seat, Steve Stockman. Like Ron Paul, Steve is a personal friend of mine, and, also like Ron Paul, Steve is a solid, courageous champion of constitutional government and liberty. How fitting it would be that a great man such as Steve Stockman would be elected to succeed the greatest congressman in US history.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Steve was first elected to the US House of Representatives back in that great freshman class of 1994 when a host of notable conservatives were swept into Congress, including people such as the late great Helen Chenoweth-Hage, the late Sonny Bono, Steve Largent, Joe Scarborough, Bob Barr, J.C. Watts, et al.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Steve is solidly on the right side of religious liberty issues, Second Amendment issues, life issues, illegal immigration issues, taxes and economics issues, the emerging police state issues, foreign interventionism issues, etc. In short, Steve Stockman is pro-Constitution, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Americanism, and pro-liberty. He is anti-illegal immigration, anti-Big Government, anti-police state, and anti-warfare state. He is solid everywhere that Ron Paul is solid.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">With this background, I am honored that Steve would invite me to speak at his “Conservative Action Conference” to be held this Saturday, April 28, 2012, at the Pasadena Convention Center and Municipal Fairgrounds just outside Houston, Texas. The rally starts at 9am Central time. I will be joining notable speakers such as Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, Congressman Bob McEwen, and several others.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">To get more information on this great rally, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/101330406665549/" target="_blank">click here</a>.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">If you live within driving distance of the Houston, Texas, area, I invite you to attend this terrific conference. And I also hope that you will come introduce yourself to me while you are there.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">As you can imagine, big-government toadies are salivating at the opportunity to put one of their big-government cronies in Ron Paul’s House seat. Dr. Paul has been a thorn in their side for over two decades. Every American who loves freedom, who believes in constitutional government, and who admires and appreciates Ron Paul needs to support Steve Stockman in every way that they can&#8211;including with their financial contributions.</span></p>

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Ladies and gentlemen, it is no hyperbole to say that our liberties are under intense attack. We simply no longer have the luxury of sitting back and letting somebody else fight for our freedoms. Not all of us can run for elected office, of course. But all of us can and should support those liberty-minded patriots who are running for elected office. Steve Stockman is one of these patriots. I am honored to join him for his “Conservative Action Conference” this Saturday near Houston, Texas. And I’m asking you to do anything you can to help Steve, whether you live in Texas or not. Ron Paul spoke for all of us who believe in freedom and constitutional government on Capitol Hill. Steve Stockman will do the same!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April 19, 1775, should be regarded as important a date to Americans as July 4, 1776. It’s a shame that we don’t celebrate it as enthusiastically as we do Independence Day. It’s even more shameful that many Americans don’t even remember what happened on this day back in 1775. For the record, historians call this day, “Patriot’s Day.” More specifically, it was the day that the shot was fired that was heard ’round the world. It was the day America’s War for Independence began.</p>
<p>Being warned of approaching British troops by Dr. Joseph Warren, Pastor Jonas Clark and his male congregants of the Church of Lexington (numbering 60-70) were the ones that stood with their muskets in front of the Crown’s troops (numbering over 800), who were on orders to seize a cache of arms which were stored at Concord and to arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock (who were known to be in the area, and who had actually taken refuge in Pastor Clark’s home).</p>
<p>According to eyewitnesses, the king’s troops opened fire on the militiamen almost without warning, immediately killing eight of Pastor Clark’s parishioners. In self defense, the Minutemen returned fire. These were the first shots of the Revolutionary War. This took place on Lexington Green, which was located directly beside the church-house where those men worshipped each Sunday. Adams and Hancock were not taken. They owed their lives to Pastor Clark and his brave Minutemen–albeit eight of those men gave their lives protecting Adams and Hancock.</p>
<p>According to Pastor Clark, these are the names of the eight men who died on Lexington Green: Robert Munroe, Jonas Parker, Samuel Hadley, Jonathan Harrington, Jr., Isaac Muzzy, Caleb Harrington, and John Brown, all of Lexington, and one Mr. Porter of Woburn.</p>
<p>By the time the British troops arrived at the Concord Bridge, hundreds of colonists had amassed a defense of the bridge. A horrific battle took place, and the British troops were routed and soon retreated back to Boston. America’s War for Independence had begun!</p>
<p>Yes, ladies and gentlemen, these two elements of American history are lost to the vast majority of historians today: 1) it was attempted gun confiscation by the British troops that ignited America’s War for Independence, and 2) it was a pastor and his flock that mostly comprised the “Minutemen” who fired the shots that started our great Revolution.</p>
<p>With that thought in mind, I want to devote today’s column to honoring the brave preachers of Colonial America–these “children of the Pilgrims,” as one Colonial pastor’s descendent put it.</p>
<p>It really wasn’t that long ago. However, with the way America’s clergymen act today, one would think that preachers such as James Caldwell, John Peter Muhlenberg, Joab Houghton, and Jonas Clark never existed. But they did exist; and without them, this country we call the United States of America that would not exist.</p>
<p>Caldwell was a Presbyterian; Muhlenberg was a Lutheran; Houghton was a Baptist; and no one really seems to know what denomination (if any) Jonas Clark claimed, although one historian referred to Clark as a Trinitarian and a Calvinist. But these men had one thing in common (besides their faith in Jesus Christ): they were all ardent patriots who participated in America’s War for Independence, and in the case of Jonas Clark, actually ignited it.</p>
<p>James Caldwell</p>
<p>James Caldwell was called “The Rebel High Priest” or “The Fighting Chaplain.” Caldwell is most famous for the “Give ’em Watts!” story.</p>
<p>During the Springfield (New Jersey) engagement, the colonial militia ran out of wadding for their muskets. Quickly, Caldwell galloped to the Presbyterian church, and returning with an armload of hymnals, threw them to the ground, and hollered, “Now, boys, give ’em Watts!” He was referring to the famous hymn writer, Isaac Watts, of course.</p>
<p>The British hated Caldwell so much, they murdered his wife, Hannah, in her own home, as she sat with her children on her bed. Later, a fellow American was bribed by the British to assassinate Pastor Caldwell–which is exactly what he did. Americans loyal to the Crown burned both his house and church. No less than three cities and two public schools in the State of New Jersey bear his name.</p>
<p>John Peter Muhlenberg</p>
<p>John Peter Muhlenberg was pastor of a Lutheran church in Woodstock, Virginia, when hostilities erupted between Great Britain and the American colonies. When news of Bunker Hill reached Virginia, Muhlenberg preached a sermon from Ecclesiastes 3 to his congregation He reminded his parishioners that there was a time to preach and a time to fight. He said that, for him, the time to preach was past and it was time to fight. He then threw off his vestments and stood before his congregants in the uniform of a Virginia colonel.</p>
<p>Muhlenberg later was promoted to brigadier-general in the Continental Army, and later, major general. He participated in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and Yorktown. He went on to serve in both the US House of Representatives and US Senate.</p>
<p>Joab Houghton</p>
<p>Joab Houghton was in the Hopewell (New Jersey) Baptist Meeting House at worship when he received the first information regarding the battles at Lexington and Concord. His great-grandson gives the following eloquent description of the way he treated the tidings:</p>
<p>“[M]ounting the great stone block in front of the meeting-house, he beckoned the people to stop. Men and women paused to hear, curious to know what so unusual a sequel to the service of the day could mean. At the first, words a silence, stern as death, fell over all. The Sabbath quiet of the hour and of the place was deepened into a terrible solemnity. He told them all the story of the cowardly murder at Lexington by the royal troops; the heroic vengeance following hard upon it; the retreat of Percy; the gathering of the children of the Pilgrims round the beleaguered hills of Boston; then pausing, and looking over the silent throng, he said slowly, ‘Men of New Jersey, the red coats are murdering our brethren of New England! Who follows me to Boston?’ And every man in that audience stepped out of line, and answered, ‘I!’ There was not a coward or a traitor in old Hopewell Baptist Meeting-House that day.” (Cathcart, William. Baptists and the American Revolution. Philadelphia: S.A. George, 1876, rev. 1976. Print.)</p>
<p>Jonas Clark</p>
<p>As I said at the beginning of this column, Jonas Clark was pastor of the Church of Lexington, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775, the day that British troops marched on Concord with orders to arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock, and to seize a cache of firearms. It was Pastor Clark’s male congregants who were the first ones to face-off against the British troops as they marched through Lexington. When you hear the story of the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington, remember those Minutemen were Pastor Jonas Clark and the men of his congregation.</p>
<p>On the One Year Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, Clark preached a sermon based upon his eyewitness testimony of the event. He called his sermon, “The Fate of Blood-Thirsty Oppressors and God’s Tender Care of His Distressed People.” His sermon has been republished by Nordskog Publishing under the title, “The Battle of Lexington, A Sermon and Eyewitness Narrative, Jonas Clark, Pastor, Church of Lexington.”</p>
<p>Order the book containing Clark’s sermon at:</p>

<p>Of course, these four brave preachers were not the only ones to participate in America’s fight for independence. There were Episcopalian ministers such as Dr. Samuel Provost of New York, Dr. John Croes of New Jersey, and Robert Smith of South Carolina. Presbyterian ministers such as Adam Boyd of North Carolina and James Armstrong of Maryland, along with many others, also took part.</p>
<p>So many Baptist preachers participated in America’s War for Independence that, at the conclusion of the war, President George Washington wrote a personal letter to the Baptist people saying, “I recollect with satisfaction that the religious societies of which you are a member have been, throughout America, uniformly and almost unanimously, the firm friends to civil liberty, and the preserving promoters of our glorious Revolution.” It also explains how Thomas Jefferson could write to a Baptist congregation and say, “We have acted together from the origin to the end of a memorable Revolution.” (McDaniel, George White. The People Called Baptists. The Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, 1918. Print.)</p>
<p>And although not every pastor was able to actively participate in our fight for independence, so many pastors throughout colonial America preached the principles of liberty and independence from their pulpits that the Crown created a moniker for them: The Black Regiment (referring to the long, black robes that so many colonial clergymen wore in the pulpit). Without question, the courageous preaching and example of colonial America’s patriot-pastors provided the colonists with the inspiration and resolve to resist the tyranny of the Crown and win America’s freedom and independence.</p>
<p>I invite readers to visit my Black Regiment web page to learn more about my attempt to resurrect America’s Black-Robed Regiment. Go to:</p>
<p><a href="http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?page_id=23">http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?page_id=23</a></p>
<p>This is the fighting heritage of America’s pastors and preachers. So, what has happened? What has happened to that fighting spirit that once existed, almost universally, throughout America’s Christian denominations? How have preachers become so timid, so shy, and so cowardly that they will stand apathetic and mute as America faces the destruction of its liberties? Where are the preachers to explain, expound, and extrapolate the principles of liberty from Holy Writ? Where are the pastors to preach the truth about Romans chapter 13?</p>
<p>Readers should know that my constitutional attorney son, Tim, and I have co-authored a blockbuster book dealing with Romans 13. The book is entitled, “Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission.” And it can be ordered at:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.romans13truth.com/">http://www.romans13truth.com/</a></p>
<p>Plus, I also delivered four messages dealing with Romans 13. The message series is entitled, “The True Meaning of Romans 13.” These four video messages have been recorded on one DVD and may be ordered at:</p>
<p><a href="http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/3146">http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/3146</a></p>
<p>I am absolutely convinced that one of the biggest reasons America is in the sad condition that it is in today is because the sermons Americans frequently hear from modern pulpits deal mostly with prosperity theology, entertainment evangelism, feelgoodism, emotionalism, and Aren’t-I-Wonderful ear tickling! This milquetoast preaching, along with a totally false “obey-the-government-no-matter-what” interpretation of Romans 13, have made it next to impossible to find Christian men with the courage and resolve to stand against the onslaught of socialism, corporatism, and, yes, fascism that is swallowing America whole.</p>
<p>America cut its spiritual teeth on the powerful preaching and exemplary examples of men such as James Caldwell, John Peter Muhlenberg, Joab Houghton, and, yes, Jonas Clark. We need them as much today as we did then–maybe more!</p>
