Before Pope Francis' visit to United States of America I did not know nothing about Dorothy Day and other "Catholic" Communists. Pope Francis in his speech to US Congress mentioned an American "Catholic" Communist Propagandist and Agitator Dorothy Day saying that we should look up to her. So I checked the Internet and found many shocking things about her and her heavy activity in Communist Subversion of America. 

I wanted also to know reason why Pope Francis would not use much better Catholic example for all American People and why he did not mention continuous holocaust of abortion, children body parts sold by Planned Parenthood, gay marriages and other things, then I stumbled on this shocking info regarding one Liberation Theology Icon and Pope Francis:

Pope Francis lifted 29-year suspension on liberation theology icon a Central American priest the Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockman who was suspended by the Vatican in the 1980s for his involvement in the political activities of Nicaragua’s Communist Sandinista movement.

Looks like that Rev. Brockman was one of those Communists who massively disrespected Pope John Paul II during his visit to Nicaragua, by encouraging the crowd to catcall and shout down the voice of Pope John Paul in his outdoor address. Looks like that Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockman was in that time the Foreign Minister in the Sandinist Communist Government according to this report from NY Times:

There are four facts freedom loving folks must face.

1. The main enemy is liberalism.  See http://www.insectman.us/misc/liberalism-is-evil.htm

2. The battle front is for the hearts and minds of our children.  See http://www.insectman.us/exodus-mandate-wv/index.htm

Most churches in America have become secular, is your church becoming secular?  Are we becoming secular?  If either; start praying, repent of anything you believe or do that is contrary to the scripture.  Start praying for your church and let the Bible be your guide.

Our country is in a crisis because we turn against God, we call ourselves Christians, but our actions reflect the ones of secular religion. My personal experience for the last 50 years bears this out. I've been to several different churches in the New York City, Montana, Arizona and Texas, and they've all drawn a diverse crowd, parents and families, people of color, an almost equal mix of men and women, a broad spread of ages and It's clear that communities like this attract people who just want to get on with their lives and live according to humanist values. As the numbers of nonreligious Americans continue to grow, we can be sure that these secular congregations will grow with them.

I dream of a true Christian community, that follow God’s law and really be our brother’s keepers; that care about each other and stand for our God given rights to life and free of crimes and corruption.

All human beings will benefit from belonging to a welcoming, supportive church. Through Christian congregations like this, we can help each other in times of need or crisis: when someone dies, we can gather to comfort the mourners and share memories of their life. We can come together to celebrate important life passages such as weddings and birthdays. We can also assemble to do good for our community, with charitable drives and volunteering. Research has repeatedly affirmed the benefits of social connection, showing that belonging to a Church contributes to leading longer, healthier, happier lives. Besides the immediate tangible benefits, we also gather to affirm a common identity. In a society that's still majority Christians, we must embrace all the people and no one should be a target of prejudice and misunderstanding, we must organize and becoming visible, we must show the world who we are and what we value, and that's always the first step in fighting this antichrist war. It will create a positive and welcoming image of Christianity that people will bear in mind when the government establishment tries to paint us with negative stereotypes of being against equal rights or religious fanatics.

Over forty years ago I remember sitting in front of the family TV on Sundays. I was quite struck by the commitment and preaching of the TV Evangelousts of the time. They always seemed so upset about the way they saw the nation headed.

I remember the preechers saying over and over again that God would not bless our nation if we turned away from him. He had always been there for us. At Valley Forge with Washington, at the signing of the emancipation Proclamation, the dark days of WW1 and WW2. He always guided and blessed America.

Now our schools have closed the door to him. Not even a moment of silence anymore to give thanks. Not even a Christmas tree anymore. Homosexuality and other sins against God are openly promoted to the students both very young and older. In most cases the name of Jesus Christ in banned from mention at all in our schools.The silent holocaust has killed over 50 million unborn babies through abortion murder!.Yes, the abominations to God are many.

Just a short time ago a Muslim Imam opened the Congress with a prayer to Allah. I would have walked out but our politicians stayed! It seems the Islamic God is now ok to promote in America by the state, but not the true and loving God of Abraham the bible and Jesus Christ.

Our nation has surely fallen under Gods judgment now. We can look around us and open our ears to hear and our eyes to see. Our nation is sick with perversion and self worship. Our leaders are robbers and seek self and money. Many have turned their back on God.

The Evangelists I saw on TV many years ago warned many times this could happen. And it did. There is little time left for America now. We have but a short time to try and turn back to God and Bring back our beloved America. Soon the full wrath of god shall be upon this nation if we do not turn around. America the beautiful will turn ugly and perish.

Fellow Americans, the extermination of millions, will be repeated again here in these United States, Hitler was able to kill millions of Jews with the help of the Nazi collaborator and the Christian hatred toward Jews. Today our government is recruiting Christian preacher to help them in the control and subjugation of Americans patriots to be place in concentration camps wen they start defending their rights and confronting the corrupt government that is destroying our country.

Most American will think that this is impossible, just like the German Jews, they can't believe that Hitler will arrest them and place them in concentration camps and exterminate them; but it happen.

Fellow Americans the fall of the Dollar will be the beginning of this human genocide, the people will turn against the government and the government will place them in concentration camps and will kill millions with the help of Christian pastors that are trained to obey the laws of this tyrannical corrupt government. I ask you to open your eyes and see what is taken place in our country.

A Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving to All.

Brothers and Sisters, let’s pray for America.

From the heaves I hear the voices of our great leaders that leave us a legacy to follow.

John F Kennedy said to us; young men your purpose in life is to get our country in the right path, you are the gift that God almighty give to this country, to re-store the moral leadership and the principles and values in which our country was created. Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for our country.

Martin Luther King. I can hear his voice and he said; Brothers and Sisters, you are the voice of justice, you must force America to face all its interrelated flaws-racism, poverty, militarism and materialism; speak for the ones that cannot speak, our country was created under God’s principles and this is a nation under God with liberty and justice for all. God will judge you, for your character and not for your nationality, your race, religion or the color of your skin. Obey God’s law because you will be judge only by his law not men’s law.

Benito Juarez said; God give us this world for the benefit of mankind, to be the stewards and share the abundance of natural resources and work the land to provide for the welfare of mankind; it is not just to fight and hoard what belongs to mankind as God will not allowed to enter his kingdom any rich man, because God almighty knows that the rich do not follow God’s law, and he adds. The respect for the property and the rights of your fellow men will change America and will re-store the trust and peace in the world.

Brothers and Sister, Let’s pray for America and ask God for wisdom, our support for our youth, the courage to speak for the ones that cannot and use our moral principles to respect others and their property, God’s gift and the fruit of their labor. May God almighty bless us and give us the wisdom and courage to follow his law. This I ask in the name of his son Jesus.

Seek the truth and expose government corruption- http://freepress.org/

Fellow Americans, The future of our country rest on us, the American people; during the last 15 years we have experience nothing but deception and betrayal from the Bush and the Obama administration, their bold planned and execution of mandates in violation of our U.S. Constitution, the rule of law and most important the will of the people. Their greed for power transformed them into whores that sold their dignity, principles and values to the predator neo-con globalist corporate and financial system that today rule in this country of ours. By their actions of betrayal and deception they destroyed our faith and trust in our government.

I’m proud to be an America and I believe that we can re-store and build a new American under the conservative principles and the American ideas of true free market, our constitution, the rule of law and our commandment to freedom and responsibility to the economic and welfare of the American people and end this concentration of wealth that is destroying our societies.

This year, we have the opportunity to elect strong Republican statesman good leaders to the United States Senate, enough to win a Senate majority and turn our country around. Washington politicians are elected by the people to represent the American people, not the party or especial interest organizations nor the US Predator neo-con globalist. Our commitment to eradicate the Washington lobbies that bribe our politicians and the revolving door system that made our politicians whores that for the love of money sell out their principles must end.

We have many good people in Washington, but we also have a small army of whores that work for the Neo-con globalist that trash our constitution to benefit them and their ideology to colonized countries to rob them of their natural resources and take advantage of cheap labor. The force of money that bribes our politicians must end, and senior politicians must not make threat to new elected politicians to vote in favor of ill policies that are not in the best interest of the people.  This culture of corruption must be expose and destroy most senior politicians are corrupt and we must vote them out.

2014 and the 2016 elections must be the beginning of the new American and the end of the American neo-con globalist, the world’s bully police force, the imperialism, the warmongers, the killers and destroyers of humanity and the killers and oppressors of the American poor and the end of Washington corrupt politicians.

Washington is in need of a complete purge, the Senate majority has been in the hands of liberal politicians like Senator Harry Reid, whose liberal ideology and commitment to President Obama’s agenda has allowed Obama to trash our constitution and re-enforce the Bush agenda, driven our country to our own demise; this dysfunctional Washington political corruption is taking our country down the wrong path, the path of our own demise.

Fellow Americans, on November vote for America, let’s give the Republicans the chance to transform our country and re-store our conservative principles, Christian values and our confidence and trust in our government. VOTE FOR AMERICA. It’s time to take our country back and it’s time to get America working as one for the economic and welfare of the people.

We must stop the predator corporatism; they control our government by political contribution, the political bribery system. Join us now. www.represent.us and help us to take our country back. Seek the truth. http://freepress.org/

Fresh on the heels of the brutal beheading of a non-Muslim woman by a devout Muslim co-worker in Oklahoma comes this outrage from the jihad-in-chief. For those you who might have missed that is going on in the beheader’s terror mosque, read this and watch that — Robert Spencer has the 411 on the jihad recruitment center, ISGOC. The mosque taught/supported the caliphate, hatred of the United States and Israel. Members were that taught that according to Islam, three choices are to be given to non-Muslims: convert, pay the jizyah tax and live under Islamic rule, or jihad.

Mosque members said that if Osama bin Laden showed up at the door and needed help, he would help him because he is a Muslim brother. Once a former member went target shooting AK-47’s with two other Muslim converts — the targets were labeled George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon. They were taught that Islam would dominate the world and for unbelievers there are three choices: conversion, subjugation under Islamic hegemony, or death. The ex-member got this straight from the “moderate” imam Soheib Webb, now of the Islamic Society of Boston, the Tsarnaev brothers’ mosque.

Obama is sending a special envoy to the mosque to thank them.

White House official flies to Oklahoma City to read special thank-you note from Obama to beheader’s mosque,” (thanks to Robert Spencer) October 5, 2014

This is how it goes in America today: a Muslim screaming what were reported as “Islamic phrases” beheads one woman and is in the process of beheading another before he is stopped. The beheader’s Facebook page shows his allegiance to the Islamic State, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, etc. A former member of his mosque comes forward with information about how the mosque teaches jihad and Islamic supremacism. And then what happens? An investigation of the mosque? The imam questioned as to whether he knew the beheader, and the beheader’s phone and email records checked for contact with mosque leaders? An examination of the teachings of the mosque to see if the beheader was incited to violence by what he heard there? No. A White House official flies to Oklahoma City to read a thank-you letter from Obama to the mosque, so as to “reassure” Muslims in Oklahoma. Who is reassuring American non-Muslims that this case is being adequately investigated and properly classified as an act of jihad terrorism? No one, of course.

Historical Notes: The American’s Creed was a result of a nationwide contest for writing a National Creed, which would be a brief summary of the American political faith founded upon things fundamental in American history and tradition. The contest was the idea of Henry Sterling Chapin, Commissioner of Education of New York State. Over three thousand entries were received, and William Tyler Page was declared to be the winner. James H. Preston, the mayor of Baltimore, presented an award to Page in the House of Representatives Office Building on April 3, 1918. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the commissioner of education of the state of New York accepted the Creed for the United States, and the proceedings relating to the award were printed in the Congressional Record of April 13, 1918. It was a time when patriotic sentiments were very much in vogue. The United States had been a participant in World War I only a little over a year at the time the Creed was adopted.

The author of the American’s Creed, William Tyler Page, was a descendant of John Page, who had come to America  and had settled in Williamsburg, Virginia. Another ancestor, Carter Braxton , had signed the Declaration of Independence. Still another ancestor, John Tyler, was the tenth president of the United States. William Tyler Page had come to Washington at the age of thirteen to serve as a Capitol Page. Later he became an employee of the Capitol building and served in that capacity for almost sixty-one years. In 1919 he was electedclerk of the House. Thirteen years later, when the Democrats again became a majority party, they created for Page the office of minority clerk of the House ofRepresentatives. He held this position for the remainder of his life.

Referring to the Creed, Page said: “It is the summary of the fundamental principles of the American political faith as set forth in its greatest documents, its worthiest traditions, and its greatest leaders.” His wording of the Creed used passages and phrases from the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and Daniel Webster’s reply to Robert Y. Hayne in the Senate in 1830.

Historical note from USFlag.org

"Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of Thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in Thy fear, and dying in Thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of Thee and Thy son, Jesus Christ." - George Washington, Prayer

O LORD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, high and mighty King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, who dost from Thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth, and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the kingdoms, empires and governments; look down in mercy we beseech Thee, on these American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring henceforth to be dependent only on Thee; to Thee they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious design of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause; and if they persist in their sanguinary purpose, O let the voice of Thy own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the counsels of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed, that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish among Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them, and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Savior. Amen.

- First Prayer in Congress September 7, 1774, Jacob Duche, Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia

" About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."- Calvin Coolidge, 1926, from a speech commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

"It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." - Patrick Henry

We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness." - Abraham Lincoln - Proclamation for a National Day of Fasting

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." - Thomas Paine

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." - Daniel Webster

"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." - Daniel Webster

"Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary." - Daniel Webster

"If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy, If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end." - Daniel Webster

"Education is useless without the Bible." - Noah Webster

"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed....No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." - Noah Webster

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government." - Noah Webster

"If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws." - Noah Webster

"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."  - George Washington

"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be." - John Adams

"The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence." - John Adams

"Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System." - John Adams

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; That a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event." - Thomas Jefferson

"I am a real Christian – that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ." - The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, p. 385.

"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. ... Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us." - John Hancock

"Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That He ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental points in all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them. As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see; But I apprehend it has received various corrupting changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an opportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble. I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that belief has the good consequence, as probably it has, of making his doctrines more respected and more observed; especially as I do not perceive, that the Supreme takes it amiss, by distinguishing the unbelievers in his government of the world with any peculiar marks of his displeasure."  - Benjamin Franklin wrote this in a letter to Ezra Stiles, President of Yale University on March 9, 1790.

"And as it is our duty to extend our wishes to the happiness of the great family of man, I conceive that we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the Supreme Ruler of the world that the rod of tyrants may be broken to pieces, and the oppressed made free again; that wars may cease in all the earth, and that the confusions that are and have been among nations may be overruled by promoting and speedily bringing on that holy and happy period when the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may be everywhere established, and all people everywhere willingly bow to the sceptre of Him who is Prince of Peace."  - Samuel Adams As Governor of Massachusetts, Proclamation of a Day of Fast, March 20, 1797.

"When we view the blessings with which our country has been favored, those which we now enjoy, and the means which we possess of handing them down unimpaired to our latest posterity, our attention is irresistibly drawn to the source from whence they flow. Let us then, unite in offering our most grateful acknowledgments for these blessings to the Divine Author of All Good." - James Monroe

"I do declare to the whole world that we believe the Scriptures to contain a declaration of the mind and will of God in and to those ages in which they were written; being given forth by the Holy Ghost moving in the hearts of holy men of God; that they ought also to be read, believed, and fulfilled in our day; being used for reproof and instruction, that the man of God may be perfect. They are a declaration and testimony of heavenly things themselves, and, as such, we carry a high respect for them. We accept them as the words of God Himself."  - William Penn Founder of Pennsylvania

"I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion, and if I was sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly give my verdict in its favor. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man." - Alexander Hamilton

"The rights of the colonist as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of The Great Lawgiver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." - Samuel Adams

"You have been instructed from your childhood in the knowledge of your lost state by nature; the absolute necessity of a change of heart, and an entire renovation of soul to the image of Jesus Christ; of salvation thro' His meritorious righteousness only; and the indispensable necessity of personal holiness without which no man shall see the Lord." - Elias Boudinot (1740-1821) - President of the Continental Congress

"The foundation of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country." - Calvin Coolidge

Lee (1807-1870) - General of Confederate Army

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” - Thomas Paine

Of the many influences that have shaped the United States into a distinctive nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible. - Ronald Reagan

Deep religious beliefs stemming from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible inspired many of the early settlers of our country, providing them with the strength, character, convictions, and faith necessary to withstand great hardship and danger in this new and rugged land. These shared beliefs helped forge a sense of common purpose among the widely dispersed colonies — a sense of community which laid the foundation for the spirit of nationhood that was to develop in later decades. - Ronald Reagan

The Bible and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers’ abiding belief in the inalienable rights of the individual, rights which they found implicit in the Bible’s teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law inherited by our own Nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. - Ronald Reagan

For centuries the Bible’s emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the abolition of slavery. - Ronald Reagan

Inside the Bible’s pages lie the answers to all the problems that mankind has ever known. I hope Americans will read and study the Bible. - Ronald Reagan

The Right To Keep And Bear Arms and The Importance of a Well Armed, Trained and Active Militia

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." - Bill of Rights

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Proposed Virginia Constitution, 1776

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764- Thomas Jefferson

"[A] string of amendments were presented to the lower House; these altogether respected personal liberty." - Letter to Patrick Henry, June 12, 1789, referring to the introduction of what became the Bill of Rights - William Grayson

The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. . . (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." - The Federalist, No. 46 - James Madison

"[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens." - The Federalist, No. 29- Alexander Hamilton

"[A]rms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them." - Thoughts On Defensive War, 1775 - Thomas Paine

"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." - Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789 - Elbridge Gerry

"The great object is, that every man be armed." - Patrick Henry

"That the people have a Right to mass and to bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the Body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper natural and safe defense of a free State..." - George Mason

"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" - Patrick Henry

"...who are the militia, if they be not the people of this country...? I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers." - George Mason

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people!" - Patrick Henry

"No free government was ever founded or ever preserved its liberty, without uniting the characters of the citizen and soldier in those destined for the defense of the state.... Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen." - State Gazette (Charleston), September 8, 1788

"While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny." - Rev. Nicholas Collin, Fayetteville Gazette (N.C.), October 12, 1789

"The powers of the sword, say the minority of Pennsylvania, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sward are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress have no right to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American.... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or the state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788

"Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive." - Noah Webster An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, Philadelphia, 1787

"The militia, who are in fact the effective part of the people at large, will render many troops quite unecessary. They will form a powerful check upon the regular troops, and will generally be sufficient to over-awe them" - Tench Coxe, An American Citizen IV, October 21, 1787

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American . . . . The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788

"As the military forces which must occasionally be raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article (of amendment) in their right to keep and bear their private arms." - Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789

"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions." - Samuel Adams, Debates of the Massachusetts Convention of 1788

"A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves . . . and include all men capable of bearing arms. . . To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms... The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle." -- "... whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them..." - Richard H. Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer 53, 1788

"... of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trail by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms.... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny." - James Monroe

"... the loyalists in the beginning of the late war, who objected to associating, arming and fighting, in defense of our liberties, because these measures were not constitutional. A free people should always be left... with every possible power to promote their own happiness." - Pennsylvania Gazette, April 23, 1788

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.... The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson, in letter to William S. Smith, 1787

GEORGE WASHINGTON - "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." (Address to 1st session of Congress)

#3 “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

#4 “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”

#5 “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”

#6 “Islam has always been part of America”

#7 “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

#8 “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

#9 “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

#10 “I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.”

#11 “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”

#12 “So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

20 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity and the Bible

#1 “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”

#2 “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”

#3 “Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?  Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination?  Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?”

#4 “Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.”

#5 “The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.”

#6 From Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: “I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.”

#7 Obama’s response when asked what his definition of sin is: “Being out of alignment with my values.”

#8 “If all it took was someone proclaiming I believe Jesus Christ and that he died for my sins, and that was all there was to it, people wouldn’t have to keep coming to church, would they.”

#9 “This is something that I’m sure I’d have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and prostelytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell.”

#10 “I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.  I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.  That’s just not part of my religious makeup.”

#11 “I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.”

#12 “I’ve said this before, and I know this raises questions in the minds of some evangelicals. I do not believe that my mother, who never formally embraced Christianity as far as I know … I do not believe she went to hell.”

#13 “Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will–they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths.”

#14 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.”

#15 “You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

#16 “In our household, the Bible, the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology”

#17 “On Easter or Christmas Day, my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites.”

#18 “We have Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, and their own path to grace is one that we have to revere and respect as much as our own”

#19 “All of us have a responsibility to work for the day when the mothers of Israelis and Palestinians can see their children grow up without fear; when the Holy Land of the three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra — (applause) — as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, peace be upon them, joined in prayer.  (Applause.)”

#20 “I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people."

1. It gives our young people an opportunity to become heroes by performing selfless service in the defense of their nation.

2. It creates veterans who, because of their military experiences, have learned to appreciate the diversity of our great nation and her people. Soldiers come from all ranks and stations as well as religions, races, and nationalities. Native born citizens serve alongside naturalized citizens and immigrants still seeking citizenship. The Army is and always will be a wonderful human laboratory.

3. Generations of Army families have forged a significant block of leaders who help our Army maintain its traditions and standards.

4. Army posts are living museums of American history. There very presence tells stories which forged the America we know and love today.

These four values I present have a price tag: How do you place a price tag on missed birthdays, holidays, high school graduations, sporting events or other significant events in the lives of a Soldier?s family? How do you budget for training accidents, inability to plan for the future because of unscheduled moves, lost furniture, and the little financial and administrative errors during a 20 or 30 year career? How do you budget for maintaining a 24/7 state of readiness with out of date or inadequate equipment for accomplishing the mission?

The Soldier is not a Democrat or Republican; he is not a Protestant, Catholic, Jew or Muslim ? A Soldier is an American who lives and dies in wars and conflicts following orders given by those above him or her. A Soldier lives and dies in wars and conflicts not of his own choosing.

The Army budget insures that Soldiers and their families are paid a living wage so that 25% of them won?t depend on food stamps for subsistence; that the Army is fully funded for war fighting and equipment is always the best; that wounded veterans expect to access the best healthcare and rehabilitation possible, and that Soldiers who retire from that Army will be compensated according to the understood contract with them.

The Army budget of which I speak will not need shady agencies who use Wounded Warriors as poster children for collecting millions of dollars or who see our wounded veterans as victims of a cruel system that used them in war but leaves them but leaves them helpless to face the challenges caused by the wounds of war. Every organization soliciting funds should be held to the highest standards of accountability. Many of you will say, ?Chaplain, this is expensive!? and I agree. I leave it to the accountants to produce the figures.

How much is it worth for our heroes to be ready every day to give their lives for OUR FREEDOM? Come on, America, let?s continue to have the best army in the world and spend whatever it takes to keep it so!! -

Well, thank GOD that all our LITTLE insignificant problems as a nation have been resolved. Honestly, they were getting a bit annoying.

You know, thinks like our soaring national debt…all $18 TRILLION dollars of it and rising. Pesky really. But apparently, that’s been fixed so there is NOTHING more to worry about in that regard and may I just add…it’s about damn time.

GAS prices must be on THEIR way down which also means that nobody will have to worry this coming winter about the cost to heat their homes as the cost of electricity must also be dropping.

How’s your 401k doing?

Last week’s nose dive doesn’t mean a thing. Just because the Fed may stop artificially propping up the stock market and driving inflation up but…no worries.

Aren’t you glad that Obamacare finally got fixed? Admit it…YOU getting tired of seeing the same old doctor and having the same old insurance you’ve had for years? I know I was but now…BOY oh BOY…we have new and improved GOVERNMENT mandated health insurance to take the place of that old crap we USED to have and I, as a guy, am just GIDDY that for the first time in my life…MY visit to the gynecologist will finally be covered…after I pay my whopping deductible that is but hey…I’m resting better NOW than I did BEFORE Obamacare and I’m willing to bet YOU are too.

Darn good thing we don’t have any problems down on the southern border huh? Could you IMAGINE what things would be like if it STILL wasn’t secure down there? Why…ILLEGAL ALIENS might still be thinking they could waltz into our country any old time they liked but…not today.

We SOLVED that nuisance problem didn’t we?

Whether it’s the Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Egypt, Iraq and Iran, or China and Japan, the world itself is beginning to fall into chaos. At the same time our own country has become just as chaotic. Whether it’s the crisis at our border and illegal immigration, the IRS and DOJ targeting, the NSA spying, the out of control debt, or the unilateral action’s taken by the President himself, confusion and disarray have become today’s status quo.

In times such as these the country needs a leader whom isn’t afraid to make basic decisions. One whom set’s aside his political indifference by giving priority to policy for the good of the country. Unfortunately, our country has Barack Obama, whom Col. Ralph Peters describes as, “a man who was elected President of a country he doesn’t really like, and whose population he distrusts, who believes America is the problem, and who’s military he despises”.

Since being sworn into office, Barack Obama has done more damage to our country in 5 years, 5 months, and 29 days, then virtually any President has done before him. Upon his inauguration on January 20, 2009, the national debt was $10.6 trillion. As of July 17, 2014, the national debt stands at $17.6 trillion. Barack Obama has accumulated, in just 5.5 years, close to $7 trillion dollars in debt and is set to literally accumulate more debt by the end of his presidency than any other President before him combined.

With this astronomical accumulation of debt in mind, a CBO report released on Tuesday reminds us that a looming crisis is fast approaching. The CBO report identified the primary drivers of the rising debt to be the aging of the population and rising healthcare spending. This trend was accelerated by Obamacare due to the increase in Medicaid spending and subsidies for individuals to purchase insurance on government-run exchanges.

In short, Barack Obama’s signature health care law will push the debt to unsustainable levels.

This looming crisis is important to remember as the law itself was created by Obama, just as the “humanitarian crisis” at our southern border today was preceded by Obama’s 2012Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This program was pushed through unilaterally by Obama and created the so called “Dreamers” as children would not face deportation upon arriving here illegally.

Before 2012 an average of 7,000 to 8,000 undocumented illegal immigrant minors were captured attempting to cross our border each year. This fiscal year, which ends September 30, 2014, federal officials have estimated that number could reach 80,000. Officials further estimate at least 150,000 – 160,000 more will try next year.

With this increase in illegal Aliens set to rise without any plans of deportations, the taxpayers will foot their bill with money we simply do not have. These two policies, Obamacare and DACA, will push our nations debt to a level that is literally unsustainable.

This is the reality of the situation and the illegal immigration crisis will become much worse if the Obama adminstration does not take border security more seriously.Unfortunately, the adminstration won’t, as their party has demonstrated that they live in a reality far removed from what is actually happening.

For instance, on Tuesday Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) asserted that “the border is secure“, despite the massive surge that has overwhelmed federal agencies on our border. Reid wasn’t alone in this belief as Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) on CBS’ Face the Nation stated “the border is secure” due to the, “children handling themselves over to the Border Patrol Agents“. This kind of belief perpetuated by Obama and his party outright rejects the truth of what is actually happening not only here in America, but across the globe.

On Monday, White House press Secretary Josh Ernest epitomized Obama’s detachment from reality in regards to his actions by stating they have “substantially improved the tranquillity of the global community“. Which actions Obama has taken to further such “global tranquillity” is anyones guess as the world we live in today appears to be anything but tranquil.
