Freedom is not free. Remembering that, and remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom, is what Memorial Day is all about. Veterans Day honors all of our living Veterans. Memorial Day honors those who laid down their lives for others. In the words of Jesus Christ,
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
To all who have paid the ultimate price for my freedom, I say:
Thank You
This should not come as any surprise.
“Reverend” Jim Wallis preaches the “Social[ist] Gospel” like “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright did.
These tea partiers don’t seem like very good Christians
I recommend reading the comments both at Hot Air and at the bottom of the original post at The Huffington Post.
The “Social Gospel” is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is the gospel of Socialism. I’ve written posts about this topic previously, and I’ll provide some links to those in a moment, but first, read this:
Obama, ACORN and Stealth Socialism
posted at 5:00 pm on May 29, 2010 by Anita MonCriefAs an ex-ACORN insider and ex-radical who used Democrat donor lists to raise money for ACORN alter-ego Project Vote and designed the ACORN 2005, 2006 and 2007 Political Operations Year End PowerPoint presentations, I know that President Obama (for whom I now regretfully admit I proudly voted) was an ACORN guy for many years and realize that he became the instrument for the implementation of its stealth socialism agenda.
… of someone who isn’t even Constitutionally required to be a “natural born citizen”…
Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii). As Djou (pictured here) was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker’s Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to “do your job” and review Djou’s papers.
To be Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of Representative, Charles Djou has to be at least 25 years old and a citizen of the United States for at least the last 7 years. Not a “natural born citizen” since birth, but rather just a “citizen” for the last 7 years.
But thank you, Barney for demanding that the media “do [their] job” and review Djou’s papers. I would like nothing more than for Djou to produce his long-form birth certificate for the media to review, then ask the media to expect the same from Obama. A long-form birth certificate for Obama can’t qualify Obama as a natural born citizen, but it just might definitively disqualify him.
The acolytes of Big Government insult both our intelligence and character, when they insist trillion-dollar deficits are the only alternative to despair. The energy roaring beneath the surface of the Tea Party movement springs from the growing realization that expensive government never works. The entire concept is a fraud. It doesn’t matter who tries it, or how noble their intentions are. The entrenched political elite would be much better off if their fantasies of surly voters driven by personal animosity toward President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi were true. This movement is powerful precisely because it’s not shallow.
No one welcomes the understanding that a system they have lived under their entire lives, built over the course of a century, is fatally flawed and headed for collapse. This knowledge is a heavy burden. The Tea Party is determined, not spiteful. It’s about renewal, not doom… demanding better from the political and media elite, not lashing out with blind fury as the light fades from America’s eyes.
This is the Tea Party imperative: No more politicians voting for legislation they haven’t written, or denouncing state laws they haven’t read. No more billion-dollar environmentalist con jobs. No more programs that can never be repealed. No more fraudulent candidates. No more illusory “moderate Democrats” representing a party that abandoned every plausible claim of “moderation” when it rammed the health-care monstrosity down our throats. No more “moderate Republicans” cutting deals with a system only a few years away from crashing down on all our heads.
