This July 4th: Are You an Individualist or an Internationalist?

First, read 1776: A letter from husband to wife.

Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing
Light and Glory.

I highly recommend:

The Light and the Glory, 1492-1793
(God’s Plan for America)

And:

The Light and the Glory for Children:
Discovering God’s Plan for America
from Christopher Columbus to George Washington

As we prepare to celebrate our Declaration of Independence, which “ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty”, are you a God-honoring Individualist or an Internationalist?

Here’s how a godless Internationalist thinks:

Every child in America who enters school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with an allegiance toward our elected officials, toward our founding fathers, toward our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government that we have. Patriotism, nationalism, and sovereignty, all that proves that children are sick because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all of those things, and is truly the international child of the future.

- Chester Pierce, “Educating For The New World Order”

Internationalists are also known as collectivists.  Take this quiz and see if you can Guess Which Collectivist Said It?

I am an individualist, and I believe that patriotism, nationalism, and sovereignty are all good things, not things that “are sick because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all of those things”.

I reject the Secular Progressive Humanist movement, and all it represents.

I embrace the same Creator that many of our Founding Fathers embraced, and the unalienable rights we have been endowed by our Creator:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Those who can’t handle the truth, try to silence those who speak it.

My high school son has been attending a science field trip at a university. ALL speakers on global warming and how we’re doomed etc… Until yesterday. A prof formally from the oil industry spoke about all the new gas advances, cleaning techniques, our oil we can’t touch, how rich we would be if we had been using that instead of mid east oil etc… The head honcho borrowed a piece of paper, wrote him a note and the speaker said “I guess I need to stop now” and they got out 1/2 hr early for lunch. lol! Wonder if the poor guy still has a job?

And that scenario has happened over, and over, and over, and over again.

Those who can’t handle the truth,
try to silence those who speak it.

The proven oil reserves of this country are have over three times the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. The only reason that we are not 100% energy independent, and even an oil EXPORTER, is because the Democratic Socialist Communists are in control and won’t allow it.

DRILL HERE!
DRILL NOW!

Separation of Church and State

You won’t find the words “separation”, “church”, or “state” in the 1st Amendment to our United States Constitution.

But you will find them in Article 124 of the 1936 Constitution of the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics):

…the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state…

Read My Lips: Take 2

In 1988 when George H. W. Bush was running for President he used that ever so famous line “Read My Lips: No New Taxes.” This line, written by the elegant Peggy Noonan, has become a buzzphrase connected to the word “Liar.” He raised taxes and lost re-election.

It’s time for Read My Lips: Take 2

Leo Donofrio’s Recent Posts

For most of April and all of May, Leo Donofrio was silent on his blog. But he has returned in June with some excellent posts:

The purpose of this post was to drive traffic to Leo’s posts.
I’ve unexpectedly received traffic from Leo’s blog (my links must have generated pingback comments in his posts). For people who are interested in what I have had to say about Obama’s eligiblilty, I, like Leo, believe that our founders intended “Natural born Citizen” to be defined as it was defined by Vattel, and by that definition Obama himself has made it clear that he is not qualified.  But even for those who think that birth location alone (without regard to citizenship of parents) is all that is required to be a “Natural born Citizen”, consider this…

The only “birth document” that the Obama campaign ever produced was pronounced a forgery by document experts, and never “validated” by the state of Hawaii.

No official birth document for Barack Obama has ever been released by the state of Hawaii.

Hawaiian officials have never put out an official statement saying that Obama was born in Hawaii.

In each of the 50 states, the Secretary of State took Nancy Pelosi’s word (!) that Barack Obama was legally qualified under the Constitution of the United States to hold the office of President and Commander-in-Chief.

The Associated Press lied.

Annenberg Political Fact Check lied.

Members of Congress “outsourced” the responsibility of validating Soetoro/Obama’s eligibility, and accepted the lies told by the Associated Press and Annenberg Political Fact Check.

I included the actual text of a letter I received from one of my Senators in this post.

Obama Tells Muslims and Atheists What They Want to Hear

Barack Hussein Obama has long been known for telling people what they want to hear. At Harvard Law,

People had a way of hearing what they wanted in Mr. Obama’s words. … According to Mr. Ogletree, students on each side of the debate thought he was endorsing their side. “Everyone was nodding, Oh, he agrees with me”.

Now, Obama is telling Muslims, atheists, and even those Christians who are Biblically illiterate, what they want to hear, so that all of those groups are nodding, “Oh, he agrees with me.”

“It’s A-OK in Hollywood to attack The One…

…so long as you’re attacking from the left.“  (H/T HotAir)

The YouTube video will be directly embedded in comment below.  Look also for a response to the attacks on Bush.

“Establishment” Vs. “Endorsement”

The words “establishment” and “endorsement” have very different meanings.

If I “establish” a restaurant that is totally different than if I “endorse” a restaurant.

If I “establish” a restaurant, I create it, I own it, and I operate it.

If I “endorse” a restaurant, I am just a customer who likes it enough to tell someone else about it.

The first Amendment prevents Congress from making any law respecting an “establishment” of religion. Our Government is not allowed to create, own, or operate a religion (as was previously done by the Government in England with the Church of England).

The first Amendment does NOT prevent Congress from making any law respecting an “endorsement” of religion. Our Congress has always “endorsed” Christianity, from the moment of the opening prayer at the very first session of Congress.

When the President gives the State of the Union address, do you know what is above his head, LITERALLY CARVED IN STONE?

“In God We Trust”.

And do you know whose image is carved in stone on the opposite wall? 

Moses.

“Liberation Theology” – Orwellian, Indeed.

There were many influences on Peoples Temple and on Jonestown. Peoples Temple was a blend of the beliefs and movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s, and Liberation Theology was one the most influential of those beliefs, a belief that still shapes the world we live in today.

“Reverend” Jeremiah Wright’s Talking Points

“Black Liberation Theology” is Racist and Marxist

“Reverend” Wright: “Them Jews” – Oops! “Them Zionists“

It’s the Theology, Stupid

Many who studied the subject believe Liberation Theology began in 1961 when in an unprecedented act, the World Council of Churches (WCC) invited the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) to join the organization. Unknown to the WCC, the ROC was a KGB appendage, staffed by intelligence officers. I know this well because of my experience in Israel and Jerusalem.

The Soviets took advantage of the invitational opportunity and sent Metropolitan Nikodim (then of Leningrad), the ROC’s second ranking prelate, to the WCC assembly. He espoused a doctrine known as Liberation Theology which was eagerly accepted by Latin American priests and bishops. Its revolutionary philosophy soon became a vehicle for violent change in Latin America as well as Africa and Southeast Asia.
