Unchecked Power Yielded by Megalomaniacs

Wow! The following article is certainly chilling... very chilling in fact! What makes it all the more important to read and pay attention to is the fact that the writer admits to being a recovering liberal!

The Shock of Barack
posted by null at American Thinker - 11 hours ago
I've been feeling funky since Black Sunday, the day of the health care debacle. As a therapist, I'm usually able to identify my feelings. But this one had left me stumped.


Excerpts:

It took a conversation with a conservative friend, Nancy, for me to pinpoint the feeling. Nancy told me that a Jewish co-worker, a staunch Obama supporter, was feeling "shell-shocked" by Obama's vilifying Israel.


Bingo. That's what it is: stunned, shell-shocked, traumatized.

[T]rauma means witnessing something that humans are not designed to see, a horror that is more than the self can absorb. The brutality of war, a gruesome crime scene, the sudden death of a loved one. Or the evil that unfolds through unchecked power yielded by megalomaniacs.

For me, trauma was that cloudless November day, years ago, when I exited an Oakland restaurant at noon and soon thereafter, lay prone on the concrete, bloody and broken.


Just moments before, I had looked into the eyes of a man who didn't know that I was human, or who knew but didn't care. I saw something sinister in him, but I ignored my gut. I was still steeped in liberal political correctness and didn't want to appear racially insensitive.


When I see what Obama is doing to this country, how he is treating its citizens, I'm reminded of the man who mugged me. I think that both are constitutionally incapable of seeing our humanity. And each day that Obama is in office, he communicates this same deadly message to the masses -- that opponents are not human.


This would explain the burgeoning of hate and even violence towards those who deign to disagree. And why Tea Party members and conservatives are being targeted, as well as entire countries like Israel.


And this would illuminate why Obama is unfazed while the economy crashes. And why he cavalierly demonizes Israel, putting millions of Israelis at risk. And it explains why Obama mocks conservatives who are legitimately worried about this administration's violating fundamental rights.



But how could Obama see us? Did anyone in his childhood ever see him?

Read it all here.

She concludes:

From what I have seen this last year, Obama shows no ability to walk in another person's shoes. This would require empathy and sensitivity, traits that are nowhere to be found.


Frankly, every time I see Obama, I catch a glimpse of the man who mugged me.


And that, to me, is the true danger and horror and shock of Barack.

In my mind, the sentence that ultimately describes all of the corruption, contempt, cheating, lying, bribing, threats, dishonesty, hatred, race-baiting, targeting, betrayal, attacks, abuses, looting of American taxpayers, contempt towards Israel, infliction of Marxism, appeasement of terrorists and rogue nations, and all the rest of the unconstitutional acts that are being wielded upon the American people by this despicable gangster government can be described in the 5 most descriptive words chosen from the article for the title of this post:

The Subject That Just Won't Go Away

This morning I heard (but didn't actually view the videotape) that Obama discussed the TEA Party movement. According to the report, one of the things that he stated about the movement is that many of the TEA Party participants, "do not believe that he (Obama) was born in America."

Why does he keep bringing this up? Isn't that a bit strange? If it has no merit (as I'm sure he's claiming), then why keep the issue in the news? Is it only to discredit the TEA Party movement and participants - in order to dismiss their legitimate concerns and grievances?

Must be.

Even though the Dems and the Media of Mass Deception still try and play the "race card" against all who stand firm against Obama dreadful policies - it just isn't working anymore! People aren't that stupid.

I thought that I had read absolutely everything about Obama's citizenship questions, but I have found a new article that is so comprehensive that even I discovered some new information!

I thought that the speculation about the photos on the cover of Obama's "Dreams of My Father" book was fascinating! Could what the writer shared be the truth?

One day, the truth will come out.

Unfortunately, the liar-in-chief is doing all that he and his Marxist criminal cronies can possibly do to ruin the United States of America.

I pray that it all comes crashing down - and soon!

Sentencing the Unborn to Death for Earmarks

Jesus Christ is THE wisest God-man who ever walked the face of the earth. Oops...correction! Jesus Christ is THE ONLY GOD-MAN who ever walked the face of the earth! (I have another correction to make regarding a recent post, but more on that a bit.)

When you read Jesus' words as recorded in the Bible (find a red-letter edition), a person cannot help but come to the realization that Jesus IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. Jesus himself declared, "no one comes to the Father but by me." Not a politically correct statement in today's world - but it's THE TRUTH! Jesus proved that he was, is, and forevermore will be. He existed within the Godhead before Creation, he became the God-man within His Creation, and died, rose from the dead, and is exalted in heaven for who He is - the Savior of the world!

This means that it has NOTHING to do with religion! It has EVERYTHING to do with a PERSON - and that Person is Jesus Christ! It has to do with a relationship; one that is made between sinners (a category in which we all belong) and the SAVIOR. What a person does with the Gospel message determines whether or not he/she can be considered "one of Jesus' own." That means that we belong to Him, at the moment of conversion, throughout our earthly lives, and into eternity.

When we are "one of His own" we CHOOSE to do what he commands of us. Jesus stated, "if you love me, keep my commandments." "Thou shall not kill" is one of those commandments!

Jesus never minced words. He flatly stated that those who refuse to repent, confess their sins at the foot of the Cross of Calvary, and accept Him as their Lord and Savior are LOST. They haven't been forgiven and cannot claim to be "one of His own." Jesus flatly stated in Scripture that those who would claim to have "prophesied in his name" will not get away with their lies. Jesus knows who are his own - and those who aren't will be told as such.

Look at what the Old Testament has to say about "evildoers":

Isa 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Read what Jesus had to say towards those who would falsely claim to be one of his:

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Luk 13:22 ¶ And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.


Luk 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,


Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.


Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Note NKJV:

NKJV - Luk 13:25 - NKJV
When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you, where you are from,'

Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.


Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.

Look at that last verse of Scripture once again. Harsh words for "workers of iniquity" aren't' they? They are being told to DEPART FROM THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE! What a terrible place to be - for all eternity.

Now, shifting gears a bit, recall a recent post where I questioned just what it was that caused Rep. Bart Stupak to change his vote on the health care bill? I wrote:

Either Stupak got duped... or, he was pressured and THREATENED by the ObaMAO THUGS to change his "NO" vote to a "yes."

Perhaps he was "pressured" but in a different way than I had previously understood it. Today, Gateway Pundit is reporting: ‘Stupak 11′ Request $3.4 Billion in Earmarks the Day After Their Pro-Abortion Obamacare Vote

This means that Stupak and 10 other so-called "pro-life" Democrats ended up giving up their protection of the unborn stance, and instead deliberately dropped their fight not to allow taxpayer funding to go to abortions. These people all have dirty, bloody, murderous hands in the sentencing of more of the unborn to death for WHAT? EARMARKS! MONEY!!!

How disgustingly unbelievable and devastating it is to find out that their greed for money in the form of earmarks persuaded these people to sentence more of the unborn in our nation to death - and they agreed to do it using THE TAX DOLLARS OF WE THE PEOPLE! Can you think of anything more despicable than this???

The Bible reveals what God in heaven thinks of this:

Isa 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Jesus reiterates:

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Luk 13:22 ¶ And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.


Luk 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,


Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.


Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:


Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.


Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.

These people sold their own souls - and the soul of our nation for earmark money. They should be SO ASHAMED!!!!

The Number Seven

The Number Seven

The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psalm 12:6

Recommended Reading
Psalm 12


As we study the Bible, we can't help noticing the number seven holds a unique place in God's economy. It is mentioned 735 times in Scripture, and it conveys the idea of perfection. It was on the seventh day God rested from the creation, and in so doing created our week. Noah took clean beasts by sevens into the ark. Jacob served seven years each for Leah and Rachel. Egypt had seven years of both plenty and famine. The candlestick in the Tabernacle had seven branches, and the Jewish feasts were observed seven days.

Jesus told us to forgive our brothers seventy times seven, and He spoke seven last words on the cross. In John's Gospel, He performed seven signs and uttered seven "I Am" statements. Revelation gives us seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven years of tribulation.

It is possible to over-interpret biblical numerology, but it's hard to miss the number seven. It tells us that God is perfect, His word is faultless, and He wants to bring fullness of blessings to our lives--seven days a week.

The number seven is stamped on the times and seasons of Scripture, marking the spiritual perfection of the Divine Prophecies.

Without the Consent of the Governed

Oftentimes, a really great blog post article is followed by some excellent comments. I think that this is the case when one reads the latest Post & Email article:

The Subversion of our government is occurring from within
WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED
by JB Williams, ©2010

Excerpt:

Obama’s Unconstitutional Health Care Treachery is just the beginning of a dark and sinister age in American history. Now that Obama & Co. have found the legislative mechanisms to subvert the Law of the Land on the federal health care grab, they intend to rush forward with the passage of “financial reform,” “energy reform,” and “Immigration reform,” none of which are any type of “reform.”

All of these measures are massive federal power and resource grabs, moving the vast resources of the United States from private sector control to public sector control. It is called socialism, by way of democratic process.

All of it will be done over the next few months without the consent of the governed, before the November election when leftists expect to lose their fifteen minutes of power in the voting booth. They plan to advance their anti-American agenda no matter how many stand opposed and in such a manner that it can never be reversed.

As I pointed out very clearly in my most recent column, for any federal law to be “constitutional,” it must meet this minimum standard…

It must be within the limited federal powers enumerated in the Constitution

It must enjoy the support of the vast majority of “the governed,” from which all federal powers are derived

It must not infringe upon the unalienable individual rights of any citizen

It must not infringe upon the rights of any state, protected by the Tenth Amendment

It must become law by way of legal legitimate legislative process

Obama’s Health Care treachery violates all five of these standards and as a result, it cannot be allowed to stand.

With all of the upcoming state lawsuit challenges to this bill, plus the fact that the Dems who voted for this awful legislation will most likely be booted out of the House and Senate in November, I can see that the new Congress with the new Republican Majority Leader, John Boehner, the implementation of this terrible legislation will come to a screeching halt through Congress' refusal to fund it.

The unconstitutionality has been clearly pointed out in the above excerpt from the article. What more needs to be said? I just can't imagine that the Supreme Court could EVER find the bill acceptable. They will most likely strike it down.

No matter which way it is done, WE THE PEOPLE will NOT let it stand! There is no need for any violence. Our VOTES will be the weapon of choice in November, 2010, and then again in the presidential election in 2012! Hey! Obama is already on record (via Robert Gibbs saying on video tape) that he doesn't care if he is a "one term president - OTP."

Hey peoples!! Let's make that revelation come true!!

The following two comments over at the Post & Email blog are priceless!

BRAVO! Well stated. The evidence of usurper, liar-in-chief, Barry Soetero aka Barack Obama pushing the envelope of his syncretistic Marxist/communist/socialist agenda is apparent for all to see. Examining from a wide angle lens of the advisers and czars to the president only ONE conclusion can be drawn, their unity AGAINST the values and moral integrity which formed this Republic. If it takes lying, bullying, backroom dealing, bribing, and circumventing the checks and balances of Constitutional process they will do it.

With great consternation and alarm, our Republic teeters on personal discipline to act and react with peaceful means. However, just like the sports scenario when the referee throws the flag of personal foul, almost always it is against the player who responded to the assault rather than the one who initiated it. The foul play has already been committed against the American people, as JB Williams effectively opines, the flag of violation will be thrown by whom? WE THE PEOPLE!

Jason Mattera is the author of a new book entitled Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation. He was recently filmed confronting Democratic members of Congress regarding important contents about what exactly is in the health care bill. He also confronts chief propagandist White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, about the fact that Obama stated that he thought (in the past) suppressing the filibuster was unconstitutional. He also confronts another Congressman about how 450 billion dollars of the Stimulus money went to phantom districts that don't even exist!

Rabid Left Creating and Baiting for Violence [Add-ons]

This morning, I have been busy replying to comments from a previous post and visiting other blogs reporting on the threats being hurled at both Dem and Republican Senators and House members.

As a TEA Party protester myself, who attended two separate TEA Party protests in Temecula, CA, [see here and here] I can verify what I had observed from the occupants of the cars that drove by the intersection. Those who were obvious Obama supporters often shouted obscenities and pointed their middle fingers at the protesters lined up along the streets. There was a small counter-protest (of Obama supporters) across the street from where my friend and I stood, but we didn't venture over there to see if there were any conflicts happening. I heard, second hand of course, that the corner where both TEA Party protesters and Obama supporters were standing engaged in heated discussions, but I did not hear nor see any physical violence happening. Since the Obama supporters were WAY outnumbered, the TEA Party protesters could have drowned them out completely. However, they did not send them away - giving them the free speech right to support Obama.

But things are very different today. The fact that ObaMAO HELLcare has passed and been signed into law, the Dems KNOW how doomed their party candidates will be in the upcoming 2010 election. Heck! Even Obama knows that he has to STILL go out and sell this awful bill (which is a huge step towards taking away individual freedoms from WE THE PEOPLE) to the public. The large percentage of voters who rejected this terrible legislation over the past 14 months are going to use it against the Dems in the 2010 election campaign.

People are discovering all of the bad stuff that is in the bill. They are learning the truth about all the lies and "talking points" that Dems tried to use to sell the bill to the public. But the majority of the public will not be fooled! They see the danger of this bill and how corruption, deceitfulness, arm-twisting, bribes, threats, and intimidation led to the passing of the bill. Appeasement (like Stupak falling for Obama's E.O.), and side-stepping of the issues (like Rep. Anthony Weiner did on O'Reilly last night - that the IRS is going to go after those who do not buy health insurance are going to reinforce the will of WE THE PEOPLE to vote these traitors to our Constitutional Republic OUT!!

There is SO MUCH that I could share in this post. But I will start with what Glenn Beck stated on his radio show both yesterday, today, and especially what he exposed on the chalkboards on his T.V. show yesterday. You NEED TO VIEW THE VIDEOS when they are available online! I will post a link to them when I find them.

A brief quote from Beck's show yesterday:

"They need you to be estranged from them. They need you to pick up a gun or a bomb. They need you to break the law. They need you to become them in the 1960s. They need you to do it. Because they know America does not support those kinds of people and they have become legitimate. They have dropped the radical pose for the radical ends, and they are making you the radical. Do not play into their game. They hold all of the cards. Do not do anything but get on your knees. As we turn to him, he will turn to us. This is his land. Let it play out his way. Do not pick up anything… except your soul. They need you to become radical."

Beck exposed the fact that the rabid, progressive leftist thugs will do ANYTHING to bait the TEA Party goers, conservative talk radio hosts, conservative speakers, Republicans, and anyone else who are actively speaking out against their Marxist agenda.

The following list contains just a few of the MANY examples.

It all started (for me, anyway) when blogger and commenter Kevin made the following accusations in this comment thread :

Kevin said...
Hi Christine,
What kind of hate is this guy talking about? Surely he must mean all the racist and homophobic statements yelled at the Democrats after the health care bill was passed (not to mention the spitting)? Or is he referring to at least ten members of congress who have received death threats?

Maybe he is referring to the fact that the de facto head of the new Republican Party (Rush Limbaugh) has called for wiping these people out? Jeez, talk about hate...Also, where in the bill is the statement about adding a certain amount to student loans? I haven't heard about this.

March 24, 2010 5:14:00 PM PDT

*******

My reply:

Kevin,

Where is your proof just who it was that yelled the alleged "racist and homophobic" statements? All of the videos produced so far do not show evidence of who it was. In fact, it could have been a progressive "plant" placed there - just at the moment in time when the Dems were ascending the Capitol steps in order to blame it on the TEA Party protesters.

We already know (for a fact) that Obama's SEIU thugs attacked and beat up a black man who was handing out "don't tread on me" flags at a TEA Party protest in the past.

"Wiping people out" means to wipe them out of Congress. C'mon Kevin! Aren't you being a bit disingenuous with that claim?

About the student loans. I heard about it on Neil Cavuto's "Your World." I cannot recall the person being interviewed. However, we now find out that there is a budget mistake in the student loan program placed in the health care bill (plus a few other errors) and it needs to go back to the House for another vote.

Take a look at the partisanship and who is the party of "no" during the Senate reconciliation process over at Nice Deb's blog.

Here's an excerpt from her post:

* Senator Gregg: Protect Medicare Savings
* Senator McCain: Remove Sweetheart Deals
* Senator Crapo: No Tax Hikes for Families Earning Under $250,000
* Senator Enzi: Strike the Employer Mandate
* Senator Barrasso: Requires Legislation Not Increase Premiums
* Senator Grassley: Requires President, Congress Enroll in Exchange
* Senator Alexander: Reduce Student Loan Interest Rate
* Senator LeMieux: Members On Medicaid
* Senator Coburn: Bars Sex Offenders from Receiving E.D. Drugs
* Senator Hutchison: State Opt Out
* Senator Hatch: Block Medicare Advantage Cuts
* Senator Collins: Waive Employer Mandate Tax
* Senator Thune: Strike CLASS Act
* Senator Cornyn: Remove New Taxes on Investments
* Senator Hatch: Protect Wounded Soldiers from Medical Device Tax
* Senator Inhofe: Protect Pediatrics and Disabled from Medical Device Tax
* Senator Crapo: Protect Cancer Patients from Medical Device Tax
* Senators Roberts, Inhofe, Brown, Crapo: Strike Medical Device Tax
* Senator Burr: Tricare and Veterans Health Programs
* Senator Roberts: Rationing
* Senator Roberts: Critical Access Hospitals
* Senator Vitter: Repeals Democrats’ Health Care Bill

Go here to read the details.

Sure was a lot of "tabling" by the Dems going on regarding Republican amendments to the bill.

[Note: Tabling
Parliamentary Procedure.
a.
Chiefly U.S. to lay aside (a proposal, resolution, etc.) for future discussion, usually with a view to postponing or shelving the matter indefinitely. - from Dictionary.com]

The Dems didn't want ANY changes to occur - and that's why they turned down most of them. At least one (maybe even two or three) could not be turned down, so the bill does have to return back to the House for a final vote.

The rejection of most of the amendments given by Republicans by the Senate Dems is very, very troubling. Especially the rejection of the viagra to convicted sex offenders amendment. Maybe that was one of the ones accepted? I would hope so.

[Update: Just heard via Rush Limbaugh's radio show that the amendment to keep taxpayer support of viagra being given to convicted sex offenders was rejected by the Dem Senate majority. WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY SAD AND TERRIBLE THING!! Rush suggests using this fact against the Dems in 2010 election commercials.]

And then there is this fact. The Media of Mass Deception is choosing to highlight threats towards Democrats from (allegedly) Republican operatives, but chooses NOT TO HIGHLIGHT THREATS TOWARDS REPUBLICANS FROM DEMOCRAT THUG OPERATIVES LIKE SEIU.

Maggie's Notebook has a good rundown of examples from the past, as well as recent threats (one of the most recent being a bullet shot through Republican Eric Cantor's home office) spewed by Progressive Dem operatives. Be sure to take note of clueless Dem Jim Clyburn - who claims that "Republicans are aiding terrorism."

Great essay! Great roundup of photos depicting the threats that the rabid left hurled towards President George W. Bush and others during the 8 years of his administration.

Could you imagine if TEA Party protesters held up signs (like the awful ones about Bush) found at Zomblog and Zombietime about Resident Obama??

These 1960's radicals (watch Glenn Beck's show from yesterday) are trying to bait the right, Republicans, and TEA Party Protesters into violence. Since they can't find it - who is to say that they aren't creating it (and baiting it) themselves and then placing the blame on others??

The other day I posted something to the affect that this health care bill was just a first step on the road to a single payer system and that it has taken years to get where we are and it will take years to finish the job too.

On WJR 760 AM radio with Paul W. Smith John Dingell confirmed that is what the plan has been all along. It may have been a slip of the tongue by an old man, but he let the cat out of the bag!

tdr,

When I read your comment at March 24, 2010 at 7:10 pm, I skipped down to comment back to you.

From what I understand, Glenn is launching a new way that we can fight back against this tide of Marxism this Saturday. He has also started a kind of "Beck's University" at his insider website. I haven't joined yet (think it's only $6.00 a month), but I plan to do so in order to learn what he is teaching at the event being launched this Saturday (in Florida? I think?).

I don't think that Beck is advocating that we don't defend ourselves with weapons (after all, he owns several and is licensed to carry a concealed weapon). What he is trying to get across is that VIOLENCE is NOT the answer!

I have just completed a blog post called:

Rabid Left Creating and Baiting for Violence

I think that Glenn sees what's "up the progressive left's sleeve" and how they are going to try and make the TEA Party movement into a "radical group" so that they can blame them for violent acts (which are often created and baited by the leftists, themselves). This is CLASSIC Saul Alinsky methods!

I think that Glenn is right that we need to inform those in the public who are oblivious to what is REALLY going on. Glenn's radio audience is estimated at 8 million and his t.v. show is estimated at 3 million. If each person shares this information and wakes up just ONE, or two, or three neighbors, friends, relatives, or acquaintances, then we would could reach an additional 11 million to 33 million people.

We cannot be silent! We MUST inform people about the dangers of losing our liberty and freedoms through ObaMAO's radical agenda.

Thanks for this great post. I continue to pray that the Kerchner lawsuit will prevail in a court of law and that a brave, true patriot judge will not cave to ObaMAO thuggery and threats.

Rep. McCotter: Obama's "Hope and Change" Has Degenerated into "Tax and Hate."

Representative McCotter on the democratic takeover of the health care industry:

YouTube Video Link: Rep. McCotter: Obama's "Hope and Change" Has Degenerated into "Tax and Hate."

“So this is what change looks like? I would remind the president that he is not the leader of a party or ideology. He is the leader of our country, one founded not to humiliate others but to inspire the world. As families lose their jobs, their homes and their dreams for their children; as our troops fight and sacrifice in foreign fields for our liberty and security, President Obama’s obsessive-compulsive pursuit of an abominable government takeover of health care has defied the public’s objections and spoiled this, the people's House, and further alienated Americans from their representative government. As President Obama’s campaign manager of hope and change has degenerated into tax and hate…”

A Verbal Shellacking of Wallis' "Social Justice" Agenda [video link added]

Whew! Glenn Beck certainly verbally whacked Jim Wallis and his "social justice" perversion of the Gospel on today's T.V. show! I'm sure that the videos of the show will be available to view later today or tomorrow.*** THIS is a show that you cannot miss! Glenn exposed the "social justice" movement agenda in liberal/progressive churches that has been previously camouflaged for what it really is - the socialistic march towards Marxism.

In a previous post, I wrote about how Glenn exposed the "social justice" terminology that was being used by the Marxists and radicals surrounding Obama at the White House. Today, Glenn excellently exposed how a perversion of the Gospel is being used to promote religious "social justice" in place of what Jesus genuinely meant when he preached during His three year ministry here on earth. The Bible is clear on this issue!

Perversion of the Bible is nothing new. It has been going on for thousands of years. There is "nothing new under the sun" as Solomon so wisely admonished in the book of Ecclesiastes. As Christians, we are to be on alert for such perversion, heresy and apostasy. The book of Jude gave us warnings about such attempts to skew true Christian faith through the guise of false religion. Such warnings are needed the closer we get to the end times. Jesus himself gave us instructions on what to do! See Mark 13.



Perhaps one of my first encounters with the "social justice" progressive movement was when I read and reviewed a book called UnChristian. At the time, I referred to such people as part of the "Emergent Church" movement. But what stands out to me now is the fact that the emergents usually criticize the Christians who believe in and follow God's Word and the Gospel of the Cross of Jesus Christ for salvation. I found it odd that they would allow, and agree with, the secular public who often attempt to disparage true Christian faith, beliefs, motives, and proper exegesis, hermeneutics, and interpretation of the Bible that has been passed down through centuries of scholarly Christian apologists, commentators, and writers.

Why is that?

If you read the link above, you will know why. Here is a short excerpt:

Why is there such a small percentage of those who hold a biblical worldview? We get our answer from Jesus himself when we read what Jesus said to the Father in his prayer:

Jhn 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


Jhn 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.


Jhn 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


Jhn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

I noticed that the authors talk about urging those who call themselves Christians towards "spiritual depth." I don't see them emphasizing the need for repentance and receiving the Holy Spirit of God indwelling the soul of the believer.

Back to Jim Wallis and the social justice movement.

It might help to read my previous post: Hunger and Thirst for RIGHTEOUSNESS

In a moment of honesty, I think that Wallis' title for the following post is true!

Social Justice is a perversion of the Gospel

Although the author (Wallis) claims that his "message is getting through to Glenn Beck," the exact opposite is happening! Glenn's message about Wallis' perversion of the Gospel is getting through to the American people! Especially genuine born again Christians! Remember, Jesus tells us unequivocally that the elect in Christ will not be fooled by false teachers, prophets or false Christs:

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

We are equipped through study of the Bible, Christ's Gospel, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we will not be deceived!

So far, I haven't seen a response posted at Wallis' blog God's Politics. I wonder if a response will be forthcoming? Or will that guy shrink away from Beck's counter challenge? In the former post (link above) Wallis actually challenged Beck to allow him to debate on his radio or T.V. show. Do you think that Wallis will still want to do that now that his agenda has been fully exposed? Hmmm....

Oh wait! I found a more recent commentary at Wallis' blog (via his sidebar)!

Glenn Beck Promises Week-long Focus on Jim Wallis and His ‘Social Justice Nonsense’

But that was written on March 18th. We shall see what happens after today's broadcast. Stay tuned, folks. It promises to be quite the back and forth fight.

There are LOTS of comments to read through at this new link. I skipped over to the latest ones and found the following, which sums up why I think that Beck is right about Wallis:

lilschmoo 1 day ago

The term “social justice” has it’s roots in marxism and communism and is not in the Bible. The word "justice" in Hebrew from Micah 6:8 means the following (strong's concordance):

1) judgment, justice, ordinance

a) judgment

1) act of deciding a case

2) place, court, seat of judgment

3) process, procedure, litigation (before judges)

4) case, cause (presented for judgment)

5) sentence, decision (of judgment)

6) execution (of judgment)

7) time (of judgment)

b) justice, right, rectitude (attributes of God or man)

c) ordinance

d) decision (in law)

e) right, privilege, due (legal)

f) proper, fitting, measure, fitness, custom, manner, plan

What Christians mean as justice: aka, helping the poor, oppressed, etc. is NOT what the term “social justice” at its inception means and this is the phrase that Mr. Beck was referring too. Social justice is an ideologue that subscribes to progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution. In other words: SOCIALISM. In that context, Mr. Beck was correct in saying what he said. Christians are not understanding that when the government says "social justice" it is not coming from a biblical understanding of God’s justice but rather a socialist agenda. God’s justice (which I am all for) and “social justice” are NOT the same.

Bingo!

Gingrich: This Will Not Stand

I do not always agree with what Newt Gingrich writes or everything he says during interviews on Fox News and conservative radio talk shows. I especially hated the fact that he chose to appear in a commercial on the farcical global warming hoax with Nancy PeLIARsi a few years ago.

With that said, I must admit that he is dead-straight-on and correct about everything he included in the following article from the Fox News Channel website.

NEWT GINGRICH: We Have Only Just Begun to Fight
By Newt Gingrich
- FOXNews.com

The American people will not allow a corrupt machine to dictate their future. Together we will pledge to repeal this health care bill and start over. This will not stand.

This will not stand.

No one should be confused about the outcome of Sunday's vote. This is not the end of the fight it is the beginning of the fight.

The American people spoke decisively against a big government, high tax, Washington knows best, pro-trial lawyer centralized bureaucratic health system.

In every recent poll the vast majority of Americans opposed this monstrosity.

Speaker Pelosi knew the country was against the bill. That is why she kept her members trapped in Washington and forced a vote on Sunday. She knew if she let the members go home their constituents would convince them to vote no.

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine combined the radicalism of Alinsky, the corruption of Springfield and the machine power politics of Chicago.

Sunday was a pressured, bought, intimidated vote worthy of Hugo Chavez but unworthy of the United States of America.

It is hard to imagine how much pressure they brought to bear on Congressman Stupak (D-Mich.) to get him to accept a cynical, phony, clearly illegal and unconstitutional executive order on abortion. The ruthlessness and inhumanity of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine was most clearly on display in their public humiliation of Stupak.

The real principles of the machine were articulated by Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings who was impeached and removed from the bench as a federal judge, before being elected to the House when he said, "There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."

It is hard for the American people to believe their leaders on the left are this bad.

They are.

The American people will not allow a corrupt machine to dictate their future.

Together we will pledge to repeal this bill and start over.

Together we will prove that this will not stand.

2010 and 2012 will be among the most important elections in American history. These elections will allow us to save America from a left-wing machine of unparalleled corruption arrogance and cynicism.

Sunday was one more step in the fight against a "Washington knows best" and "Washington should run everything" attitude.

Let us turn now to the Senate to continue this fight for real reform, for real self government, and for policies that create jobs, improve health outcomes, and increase freedom.

Newt Gingrich is the former Speaker of the House. He is a Fox News contributor and founder of the Center for Health Transformation. The Center for Health Transformation is a high-impact collaboration of private and public sector leaders committed to creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System that saves lives and saves money for all Americans. CHT is based on the following premise: Small changes or reactionary fixes to separate pieces of the current system have not and will not work. We need a system-wide transformation. Unlike other alliances, CHT unites stakeholders across the spectrum (providers, employers, vendors, trade associations, disease groups, think tanks) and government leaders at both the state and federal level to drive transformation according to a shared vision and key principles.

Fox Forum is on Twitter. Follow us @fxnopinion.


P.S. I cannot, at this time, completely endorse the CHT (Center for Health Transformation) until I do more research on the organization. It is mentioned here in the credits about Newt Gingrich to show that he is actively involved in a type of health transformation organization for the United States of America that is not based on socialism. From what I have heard (so far), the CHT doesn't appear to go against the wishes of We The People, the Constitution of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence, or what our Founders intended for our Constitutional Republic.

Or he was pressured and THREATENED by the ObaMAO THUGS to change his "NO" vote to a "yes." Take a look at this press release from the National Right To Life organization:



STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE COMMITTEE
ON ABORTION "DEAL" ON HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION


WASHINGTON -- (Sunday, March 21, 2010, 6 PM EDT) -- In response to today's announcement regarding an agreement between Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi.) and President Obama on the pending health care bill (H.R. 3590), the following statement was issued by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of right-to-life organizations in the 50 states:



The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) remains strongly opposed to the Senate-passed health bill (H.R. 3590). A lawmaker who votes for this bill is voting to require federal agencies to subsidize and administer health plans that will pay for elective abortion, and voting to undermine longstanding pro-life policies in other ways as well. Pro-life citizens nationwide know that this is a pro-abortion bill. Pro-life citizens know, and they will be reminded again and again, which lawmakers deserve their gratitude for voting against this pro-abortion legislation.



The executive order promised by President Obama was issued for political effect. It changes nothing. It does not correct any of the serious pro-abortion provisions in the bill. The president cannot amend a bill by issuing an order, and the federal courts will enforce what the law says.



To elaborate: The order does not truly correct any of the seven objectionable pro-abortion provisions described in NRLC's March 19 letter to the House of Representatives, which is posted here: www.nrlc.org/AHC/NRLCToHouseOnHealthBill.pdf

.

Regarding Community Health Centers (CHCs), NRLC has documented the problem created by H.R. 3590 here: www.nrlc.org/AHC/NRLCMemoCommHealth.html.
Prof. Robert Destro, a professor of law and former dean of the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America, and an expert on abortion-related litigation, has sent lawmakers a letter explaining why the bill opens the door to direct federal funding of abortion in Community Health Centers: www.nrlc.org/ahc/DestroLetterToStupakOnCommHealthCenters.pdf

.
Prof. Destro clearly explains why it is the statutory language that will govern.



Regarding the new program to provide tax credits to purchase private insurance, the executive order merely tinkers with the formalities of a bookkeeping scheme under which federal subsidies will pay for plans that cover elective abortion -- a break from the longstanding principles of the Hyde Amendment.



The order does nothing at all to mitigate the other abortion-related problems described in the NRLC letter, dealing with bill provisions that create dangerous regulatory mandate authorities, revise Indian health programs, and create pools of directly appropriated funds that are not covered by existing restrictions on funding of abortion. Nor can the order correct the omission from the pending legislation of the necessary conscience-protection language that had been included in House-passed health care legislation last November (the "Weldon language").



For additional information regarding the abortion-related components of the legislation, and NRLC's assessment of the gravity of these issues, please refer to the March 19 letter linked above, and other materials posted on the NRLC website at www.nrlc.org/AHC/Index.html.

I can't see how anybody, for any reason, would vote for this bill.

New Link: World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy

Since I am feeling under the weather today, my time at the computer is limited. But I've been watching what's going on about the health care bill on T.V. I feel bad for Bart Stupak and his family. Apparently, they have been unmercifully verbally attacked and harassed because of his "no" vote on the health care bill.

What is this?

Stalin's Russia??? Geez....

The family was forced to disconnect all of their phones. I hope that they have FBI or police protection, too. ObaMAO's Chicago style Al Capone thuggery type of a gangster government is highly disturbing and absolutely disgusting!

I went to the doctor this morning. He and all the nurses I spoke with at the office are all against ObaMAO's disastrous bill!

Late night breaking news!! Gateway Pundit reports: Breaking: We Are Just 11 Votes Shy From Killing Obamacare!

11 VOTES SHORT FROM KILLING THE BILL!

Say Your Prayers— Make Your Calls—Here’s the Contact List.
Don’t let up now!

We are 11 votes short from killing nationalized health care!
CNN reported:

Five more House Democrats said Tuesday that they will vote against Senate health care legislation, which puts opponents of reform just 11 votes shy of the 216 needed to prevent President Obama from scoring a major victory on his top domestic priority.

An ongoing CNN analysis shows that opposition in the House to the Senate health care plan has reached 205 members.

A total of 27 House Democrats, including nine who supported the House plan in November, have indicated that they would join a unified Republican caucus in opposing the Senate plan, which passed in that chamber December 24 with the minimum required 60 votes.

Nonetheless, House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson of Connecticut said Monday after a meeting with rank-and-file Democrats that “the votes are there” to pass the health care bill.

Among at least 27 Democrats who will vote against the bill is Rep. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, who confirmed his opposition Monday.

Harsh Reality of Dem Leader Corruption [Update]

The Code Red Rally in Washington D.C. was covered live at the Fox News Channel website. I got to see some of the speeches and watched as people walked towards the Capital building to confront their representatives in Congress, urging them to vote NO on the bill. The rallying cry at the event was KILL THE BILL!

Fox News Channel website - Andreas Tantaros article:Manipulation, Payoffs and Lies -- The Democrats' Endgame On Health Care

Excerpt:

This week will reveal the harsh reality of corruption in the Democratic leadership. All of the Democrat’s lip service on “change you can believe in” (Obama) and “cleaning up the swamp” (Pelosi) will be exposed as hollow and untrue.

Democrats have convinced themselves that it would be far worse to do nothing on health care than listen to the concerns of the public. And they have demonstrated they will stop at nothing to get some form of legislation passed – even using the House Rules Committee to draft a new rule that would make it possible for Speaker Pelosi to pass the bill without an actual vote!

This jaw-dropping abuse of power has appropriately been labeled the “Slaughter Strategy” after Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) the tactic’s chief architect and a close Pelosi ally. It would give members of the Democratic Caucus cover. Why, you ask? Because it would skip the step that would force our lawmakers to place an “aye” vote next to a radioactive, unpopular piece of legislation that they will have to defend until Election Day in the fall.

This type of manipulation of government process might be the most perverse we’ve seen to date.

Finish reading HERE

Update at 8:55 a.m. PT:

Just found the following blog post and it is one of the best!!

Redstate: If you try the Slaughter Rule, you will lose the country. Not in November. In March.

Read the entire post!

I especially liked reading the following portion regarding what consequences are likely to happen (if it passes):

What will happen in March?

Six things I can think of, the first three within days. I couldn’t say what order, because things will move pretty quickly. So I list them how my mind sorts them.

1. The Supreme Court will strike it down within days.
I don’t remember which of the 3 authors I cited said this (or maybe I heard it on the radio), so I don’t know who to cite. But every American has standing here, due to the exceedingly far reach of the Health Care Takeover bill. Somebody will sue. I predict GOP members of Congress will, and it will go straight to the Supreme Court. They will strike down the whole caboodle, and they will do it almost immediately. Probably 6-3, with Breyer and Kennedy voting with the originalists. Their ruling is very likely to include language extremely damning of the behavior of Democrats.

2. Numerous states will declare statutorily under the 10th Amendment that this law will be unenforceable within their borders.
I’m guessing 20 states. The move has been afoot for awhile anyway, and this blatant flouting of the Constitution will trigger the America-loving, freedom-loving instincts into bold (if rash) action. And while they’re at it, they’re going to say the same thing about everything emanating from the EPA.

3. There will be public anti-government outrage so great that it will boil into violence.
I do not condone this; it will be ugly and more than a little scary. Lest I give anybody fresh ideas, I will not expound upon it other than to say it will be directed, not generalized — directed at objects, property, and symbols of government, not at people. Although those who voted for this Slaughter Rule would be wise to perhaps hang around in Washington for awhile.

4. (Even more) new candidates opposing incumbent Democrats will come out of the woodwork.
Many already have, but many good ones have considered, then declined. Many of those will change their minds, even in blue states. And new ones will pop up like dandelions. And a whole bunch of them will win. The leftist partisan national media currently think Republicans might, juuuuuuuust MIGHT, get 40 seats and the House back. Idiots. It was already going to be 80 and 8. But after this stunt, it might be 120 and 14. This is what happens when the entire center turns on a party.

5. State AGs will bring charges against sitting Congressmen for whatever they can plausibly pin on them.
Sedition is the actual crime (IMHO), and that’s a federal charge. But no USA will touch this, since they work for the president. Because members of Congress cannot be recalled, citizens will be thirsting for vengeance. Very loudly. State AG’s will be chomping at the bits to exact SOME form of payback, encouraged (or pushed) by their citizenry. Things like corruption, conspiracy, bribery, racketeering, tax fraud, and so on, will be easy indictments. As the last few months have shown, congressional Democrats have been so thoroughly corrupt for so long, nobody will even have to trump up anything.

6. Republicans will shut down business in Congress until January 5.
Then it will REALLY get fun.

Democrats will lose the country days after they pull the Slaughter Rule. They’ll have their illegal law both flouted and overruled, their members will be subject to investigations and indictments, and not a single item of interest will be signed into law, nor will any appointment be approved, before January 5, when a hundred or more of them leave Washington for good.
