The Progressives

          We win!  You may not think so, but the progressives have really messed up this time.  They have gotten the health care bill passed which is the first step in making us completely dependent upon them.  If they are successful in their agenda, we will have nothing left.  Therefore, the only ones left that have money, or anything else of value, will be the political class.  Since their plan is for the rich to be taxed to pay for everything and they will be the only ones left to tax, they will have to pay for our healthcare and everything else.  I guess they really haven’t thought that far ahead.  “The trouble with socialism is you run out of other people’s money to spend.”((Margaret Thatcher –British Prime Minister)  We needed change but the Obama administration was not the answer. They moved us in the direction we were headed, not the direction in which we needed to go.  Our government has been out of control for a long time.  

 

          I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer refer to the progressives as bastards (Bastard - meaning that they have no founding fathers and no respect for them).  I have realized that it is wrong to besmirch the reputations of their parents, whom I am sure are ashamed of them.  These people don’t recognize the authority of the principles under which this nation was founded.  From what I have seen in their efforts to get the health care legislation passed, they have no principles.  

 

           We have a Star Spangled republic, not a muddy swamp of socialism.   The progressives think we have a democracy.  “Democracy.. while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy.  Remember, democracy never lasts long.  It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.  There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” (John Adams)  “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” (Thomas Jefferson) This is why we were set up as a republic  by the founding fathers who knew the difference.  Our founding fathers knew exactly why they were setting up our republic based on Christian principals.  Patrick Henry said that this country was not founded by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.  John Jay, the first chief justice of this nation said that this is a Christian nation.  In 1892, the Supreme Court (The Trinity decision of 1892)  announced that this is a Christian nation.  This was after a review of thousands of founding documents, both federal and from the various states.  “Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.” (Ronald Reagan) 

 

          I could go on and on with quote after quote from those who matter, establishing beyond any reasonable doubt that this is truly a Christian nation.  What is in question now is how long it will remain so.  The separation of church and state is found in the constitution of the extinct USSR – article 52; not in the United States constitution.  Eleven years after the signing of the constitution Thomas Jefferson used that phrase to assure a church group that the government cannot interfere with our religious expression.  Things sure have gotten twisted around.  The government was against Jesus during His earthly lifetime.  The same kinds of people are against Him and His followers now. 

 

          ‘Social Justice’ to the progressive doesn’t mean helping the poor.  Their definition is the “Forced redistribution of wealth with hostility towards individual property, under the guise of charity and/or justice.” (Glenn Beck) Moral issues mean different things to progressives because their morals are different than most of us.  Their morals are not centered in God but rather a humanist view of right and wrong.  The progressive attempt to eliminate God from our lives is the plan to get our moral and religious values replaced by theirs.  “There are 2500 verses in the King James Bible about poor people.  One time in seminary we cut out of the Bible every reference to poor people, every single one; it took us a long, long time, when we were done that Bible was in shreds. It was falling apart; it was literally in holes….a Bible full of holes.  I would take it out and say brothers and sisters this is the American Bible, it’s full of holes.” (Rev. Jim Wallace, spiritual advisor to President Obama)   It is my opinion that it is Rev. Jim Wallace’s theology that is full of holes.  The Bible says that many will come in the name of Jesus and attempt to deceive us.   I think that Jeremiah Wright and Jim Wallace are prime examples of deceivers.  Jesus taught voluntary giving, not forced giving.  When a government takes something from one group, to give to another, it’s not charity, its theft.  Forced redistribution is not the same as charitable giving.  When the government takes over charities the people loose control over where the resources are distributed.  A man’s best friend is his dogma, and their dogma is going to bite us in the butt.  No where in the Bible does it call for the government to take care of the poor, rather it calls for Christians to help the poor.  Jesus said that the poor would always be with us.  I guess that means that charity toward those in need is an ongoing request of the Lord.

 

          Violence, intimidation, personal attacks, slurs and bomb throwing are not the answer.  These are the things that the enemy wants to goad us into doing.  We should not stoop to their tactics.  Glenn Beck says that ‘the progressives are trying to prod us into violence’.  If they can get us to act like they did in the sixties, they will have succeeded.  Americans are a decent, moral and religious people.  I think that it will be hard for them to accomplish this goal; however, there are always those radicals in every group to say nothing of their planting people among us who will do outrageous things to forward their agenda.   We have the strongest weapon in our vote.  I get sick and tired of those who say ‘you can’t blame me, I didn’t vote’.  Yes I can; you neglected your responsibility as a citizen. “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” (Thomas Jefferson)   “2010 is not just a choice between Republicans and Democrats. 2010 is not just a choice between liberals and conservatives. 2010 is a referendum on the very identity of our nation.” (Marco Rubio)

 

       The thing to keep in mind is what would Jesus do?  Hitler said that if

you say something often enough and loud enough, that most of the people will believe it.  We are surrounded by lies, deception and slight of hand. The Bible and the founding documents are often misquoted or misrepresented by the deceivers.   “I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” (George Washington)  Study history and the Bible to see the truth and overcome what is being fed to us.
