Shook Up

Please don't ask me what's on my mind... I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin fine (words of Elvis Presley in his song All Shook up) We live in a mixed up world of mixed up values/.

I was sitting across the table at a a civic club luncheon from the pastor of a large baptist church. He was bragging about the expenses of his dog, veterinary bills, food and toys. It cost more for this preacher to feed his dog than I spend on my own food. I said to him, “Is this what our Bible calls “unnatural affection”” ? Of course I knew that the Bible was referring to homosexuality, (Romans 1:26, Leviticus 20:13) I realize that a pet gives unconditional love but, one having traveled the world, having seen so many starving children, I simply cannot understand the money spent on animals.

For instance, an employee, now working for me formerly working for a dog trainer. The owner, trainer of dogs received $50 per hour to train a dog, receives $50 for a dog to spend one half hour in a pool, receives $20 for an hour in the agility yard and orders special beef for the dogs of some owners costing from $5 to $20 per pound. Josh, another employee who, with his wife, spent over $50 per week for dog food for just one dog. I was raised on a farm where our dogs worked for their keep. They were fed table scraps, which they loved but they accepted the responsibility of patrolling the entire farm, keeping all the other animals in line.

In this world of mixed up values, where trainers are paid to discipline dogs but children go without discipline from anyone, where many adults as well as children can never afford to eat meat. God will supply His own discipline. Man is the only animal, with a soul, who knows that he will die.

There are 23,000 nuclear weapons in the word today. Half of these owned by Russia and America. There is no way to determine ownership or trace smaller, suitcase type nuclear weapons. We know that many terrorist groups have them... bought and sold like commodities. The most used terrorist weapon, plastic explosives, C4. Many innocent children, as well as animals will be killed by such.

When Jesus Christ left this earth, He said, “Occupy till I come.” (Luke 19:13) Many of the world's problems would never have appeared if follower's of Christ had heeded this admonition of taking His place, occupying, until His return.

Starting in Egypt, protestors about tyranny, now Egyptian coptic Christians being beaten down in the streets. Protestors in other places finally uprising against Muslim tyrants (Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Saudia, Yemen, etc.) now the popularity of protestation spreading to America. It is called occupying, communists and communist sympathizers, spoiled brats of American largess who do not know what they are doing. Freak show Hippie types, liberals and a few conservatives disgruntled with the world bringing on more rapidly than the world thought possible, acknowledge the corruption of both Wall Street and Washington, DC. Most of these folks are all mixed up, do not know what they are doing, or why. IF they were fit to occupy the shoes of working people, they would not have the time for such protestations.

These protesters and their organizations are financed by George Soros who is trying to buy the world, who made his billions in Satanic enterprises. (buying and selling Jewish humanity in Europe)

The one lesson history has taught us, more than any other, it is better to obey than sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22) Rebel liberals know nothing about Hitler killing 50 million attempting to occupy, to change the world. From dumbed-down schools and universities, these rebel liberals learned how to put a condom on a cucumber, but nothing about the history of the republic, capitalism, free enterprise, the honor of work.

Society is falling through our hands like a ripe fruit. It was scary enough for Obama to be elected the first time, a Marxist, Muslim sympathizer without credentials of any type (valid birth certificate, social security number, ethic of accomplishment.) even scarier, after a season of disaster, some still support him. If nothing else, this shows how mixed up people can become. The occupier of the White House, many occupiers in government must be removed.

Androgyny

In the 1967 musical Hair, which I saw on Broadway. The most popular song, of which you heard almost constantly on the radio, a medley of two songs - Age of Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In.

Sunshine has always been a wonderful sanitizing agent. In this age of Androgyny (Webster: a mixing of masculinity and femininity) I will attempt to cleanse today's culture with light. We are told that men prefer darkness to light. (John 3:19) In my lifetime, the homosexual agenda, attempt at the confusion of masculinity and femininity by entertainers, secular media, and liberal educators. Anthropology, archeology and every social science tells us that every pagan religion is marked with rabid homosexuality. An attempt has been made to bring pagan Androgyny into the Christian religion... homosexual pastors and priests (Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, etc.), lesbian bishops (at least 25 in the Episcopal church) This week, a practicing homosexual was ordained into the Presbyterian ministry. (Scott Anderson, Madison, WI). God's Word is very specific about the sex of pastors and bishops. We don't know what scripture was used to get it started, several denominations have ordained women into the ministry... most prominent, Methodist. Now, some of the oldest denominations on this continent are making the attempt, not only ordination as ministers but as deacons (Free Will Baptists, Southern Baptists). Women have a definite role in the church but not as bishops, pastors, or even deacons.

There was never a time of more paganism, more homosexuality, affecting the church than at the time of the earthly ministries of Jesus and Paul... Roman rule, Roman paganism. Tradition tells us that even King Herod was married to two men. So, the Androgyny of same sex marriage is nothing new.

The latest paganistic romanticism with the Androgyny of the confusion of sex started after WWII. Women had left the home to work in defense plants. The absolutes of right and wrong, publication of pornography in magazines sold on newsstands (Playboy, Penthouse, etc.) because of an innocuous 23 word prayer, prayer and bible reading taken from the schools (1963), legalized abortion (1973). Schools and colleges turned over to academic totalitarian, non-conformist atheists. No longer were High School or College students taught that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. At the schoolhouse, the courthouse, your house, God was looked upon as a bellhop... anxious to meet your needs instead of you meeting His. The feel good sermons to “itching ears” of such modernists “actors”, playing preacher as Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, Jim Baker, Oral Roberts brought agnosticism to a new level. Taking flight from the redemptive Power of the Cross, even the Baptists and other evangelicals who had rather be popular with the world than right with God. The average baptist pastor more interested in his pastoral package (vacation, hospitalization, golf club dues), than soul-winning. Not just the Mega-churches, but most pastors and Christians unable to comprehend how the apostle Paul at the height of Roman tyranny towards Christians, blood running down his legs from a back lashing, thrown into the stinking, dirty stocks of a Phillipi jail, at midnight, (the other prisoners watched) (Acts 40:25)) as he and Silas sang hymns.

There was never any confusion about the maleness, BOLDNESS of early Christian men.

Dumbed down by today's schools. Numbed down by today's big Pharma, poisons in our water systems (fluoride, chloride). Chemicals leaching from plastics into everything, destroying maleness. The poet Gilbert Holland as in his poem, cries in vain (God give us Men).

I was once invited to hear “Reverend” Troy Perry, head of the Metropolitan gay churches, speak. Started in California in 1971 with 14 members now, nationwide, over 40,000 members. His entire presentation was an attack on America's traditional churches, making fun of the women in the church, the hypocrisy of the men yet, these gays claim to be Christ-like. Why not start an Androgynous denomination-church of your own. Satin has a church (1960 Anton Lavey - Satanic bible promoting carnal self, membership secret), wiccan, Europe and North American, organized witches much as Christian church but in hives, covenstead, loose membership covering world.

The first chapter of Matthew gives us the genealogy of Jesus. Three sections of 14 ancestors, 42 in all , many flawed men and women, including King David, continuous battles of real men and real women against Satin. (the only disgrace, Babylonian captivity of 586BC) There has always been rebellion of some type against the Creator. The Creation, the creature, has learned and will learn that “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22)

America, greatest super power now a traitor to sexuality. Incrementally, women moved, since WWII, slowly to the front lines. A lesbian working in one of my businesses “I was a “token” helicopter pilot in my squadron. She got paid, the billet, but never flew a helicopter.”

America, greatest denominations. Incrementally, women slowly move to the pulpit.

America, greatest wealth, children, sensitive, confused, cheated of mother and father in the home.

God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands

Poem

• Gilbert Holland

Great Expectations

Great Expectations is Charles Dickens' greatest novel, a story of Pip, a young man who moves from rags to riches, an orphan with a drastic change in lifestyle because of a wealthy benefactor.

It is the unexpecteds in life which determine the character of a man. It is not what happens when all goes as expected, when all goes well, but character is determined when all goes wrong.

On your farm, seeds were planted with great expectations. From the “Good Earth”, sufficient rain showers, sunshine, crop cultivation, care by the farmer, you could expect, reproduce, production of crops which you had planted... the oldest system in the world, sowing and reaping. You must understand sowing and reaping, expectations, in order to understand everything pertaining to life. You reap what you sow. You reap in proportion to what you sow.

There has never been a mother who looked at a new born baby without great expectations. Prisons are full of those who did not meet expectations.

Too many allow critics to determine our lives, our expectations. Think of the teachers who have been surprised by the accomplishment of those from whom they did not expect much. So many families like to point out the “black sheep” The greatest vengeance is seeing the black sheep of the family accomplish most. History books, biographies, are stories of those who did not stand out anywhere except in their own minds. Most great men and women of God, family, country are those who had the courage to keep on in spite of the low expectations of others. There was nothing remarkable about Theodore Roosevelt as a student at Harvard until he, himself, decided to become a man. His cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not excel at Harvard, and more than anything else, was forced to live life as a cripple after Polio. Unexpected, both became great Presidents of the United States, simply by their own courage. Thomas Alva Edison had very little formal education, Steve Jobs never graduated from college. Both great in spite of their limitations and low expectations.

In every life there is a constant battle between good and evil. The Great Designer made it that way – with the greatest gift of all – free will.. You are either victim of or victor over the unexpecteds of living. Sooner or later, you face the seven deadly sins, pride, anger, envy, lust, laziness, greed and gluttony. It is so much easier, more accomplished to enjoy the fruit of the spirit - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ( Galatians 5:22-23) Most of us live with more evil than good, described best by the seven deadly sins than the nine fruit of the spirit. It is expected that the Christian, filled with the spirit of God, should reflect in our lives the fruit of the spirit. Sad to say, the Christian like the non-Christian is marked more by pride, (the beginning of every sin) than love, (the beginning of everything good) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love).(1 Corinthians 13:13)

Nicola Tesla, inventor of the radio and many other electronics, was ostracized, as a “mad scientist”, died in 1943 almost penniless. A Serbian, Croatian, mostly self educated, became one of the world's greatest engineers... no greater invention than the radio.

The radio, education and entertainment media for the blind. The radio, method of worship for the disabled and the home bound. The radio, classroom for every person who wants to learn. The radio, method for communications in warfare. The radio, essential in all emergency operations.

In the American experience next to slavery, the greatest shame of this nation, is the treatment of disabled veterans and handicapped citizens. If the walk were only as easy as the talk... state-controlled news media, civic clubs, churches, lamenting about their appreciation for veterans and the handicapped citizens of the community. The disabled , the handicapped are the last invited to join these clubs and most churches are just clubs with steeples. The country's largest minority, the disabled and the handicapped, have certainly learned that they are not wanted in public places. As a restaurant manager told this blind veteran, the disabled make our normal customers feel uncomfortable. The young warriors, home from battle, victims of auto crashes, casualties of disease, did not expect to live life with unexpected challenges. Life is tough enough at best, shows true faith when tested by the grace of the unexpected.

Ancient of Days

As one ages, younger think of you as being ancient. Speaking of the Depression of the Great Depression, even those of moderate means cannot imagine “What it could have been.” The IMF, and even England's Federal Reserve headed since 1973 by Sir Gordon Richardson, have said that we are headed into a Global Depression.

Even the prophet Isaiah, living around 800BC referred to olden times when the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea (1400 BC) as ancient times. (Isaiah 46:10)

Remarkable, the book of Isaiah, 66 Chapters, closely paralleling the 66 books of the Bible.

From Old Testament Isaiah, to the New Testament, about 600 years, the “so called” dumb years, when God did not reveal Himself to the world.

From Romans to Philemon, we have a message to the church. Perplexity and complexity of many, toward the Bible, the mixing of law with the redemption and grace, of Jesus Christ. Perhaps Paul, shown as a short, unattractive but brilliant Jew, was miserable in his explaining the Christian's relationship with the law as found in the seventh chapter of Romans... even more so in the book of Hebrews. Through, salvation, through Jesus Christ, freedom from the law, still trying to keep the law... Saturday, Sabbath, etc. Entire denominations, claiming Christ as their savior (Seventh Day Adventists). Employees telling me, that they will not answer a phone from 5pm on Friday afternoon until 5pm on Saturday afternoon. Much like visiting Israel, Jewish hotels, which serve cold food on their Sabbath. I have known women in Baptist churches who would not cook, on Sunday, the Lord's Day.

The very foundation of our knowing right from wrong, the Jewish law, on which all law is based, yet fulfillment by Christ of that law, giving us freedom.

Confusion comes in not understanding the difference in law and grace. The law of gravity, laws of motion, laws of sowing and reaping, were as fundamental in ancient times as modern times. Essential that we learn that God is all wise, Sovereign in everything, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

Anyone can count low hanging apples on an apple tree, the seed inside one apple. We have not learned to “roll our burdens” onto God. (Psalm 37) We have not learned that God can determine all the apple trees from one seed, all wise God. 500 billion stars – He named them all. If your students, you send to college, were sufficiently indoctrinated by you about the wisdom of Ancient of Days, they would not fall so quickly prey to the wisdom of college professors (Romans 7:24) For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. (Romans 7:15) The important word in this seventh chapter is the word concupiscence (Romans 7:8) Sin is like a virus. The DNA of a virus leads to multiplication, supposed to multiply themselves, just as sin increases. You in Christ and Christ in you, redeems you from such.

Faith is a verb, “action based on belief, sustained by confidence.” We have the confidence of forgiveness. Sins of the past, present, and future.

Many of us are confused in the keeping of many laws, certainly not ceremonial law. But, the tithe is the Lord's, whether we give it or not. All my life, I have heard preachers and teachers who are supposed to know better, speak of giving your money as a tithe. We own nothing, all belongs to Him. We return His tithes to Him, along with our offerings.

The apostle Peter is the best example I can think of in his and our special relationship with Christ. Peter did not lie before Pilate, rather before servants. To whom do we lie? We have acts of faith everyday, valleys of weeping throughout life (Psalm 84) No room for compromise, just go through these valleys, prove Him, do not hesitate with tithes, offerings. (Malachi 3:10) (Although Peter denied Christ three times, on resurrection morning, Christ specifically asked that Peter be notified.) (Mark16:7)

We cannot reduce God to our performance. The Holy Spirit of God dwelling within the real Christian replaces the spirit of law and death.

It is time for men to put on the whole armor of God. Ancient Athenian warriors, going to war for Athens, returned from battle either walking or laying dead on their shield.

Escaping Reality

The first time I was in Russia, forty years ago, when it was class book communism, I was accompanied by a reporter-executive from radio station WOR, New York City. Moving around the large cities, Moscow, Leningrad (the name of this city has changed several times) we were amazed at the alcoholism... people of all ages drunk on the streets. I remember saying to him, “If I had to live in this offal place I would escape by staying drunk.” Mankind cannot stand much reality. It is the human psyche, neurological condition, to escape. Many of you will remember Jack Nicholson in the movie A Few Good Men. He said, “You cannot handle the truth.” I have found in my life that Satan's greatest weapon is his ability to assist us in compromising truth. “Broad is the way.” (Matthew 7:13), Hell will be full of people who would not face the truth. The truth is the truth whether anyone believes it or not. We do what we do because we believe what we believe, and most believe the absolutes of God's Word, living a clean life, internally (what you put into your body) and externally, does not apply to them. Most people, like my disability of blindness, believe they will never be disabled, that nothing bad will ever happen to them.

The Magna Carta of the Christian is found in Ephesians 4. Here we find the dangers of opening doors to problems.

The parent opens the door to a child's addictive lifestyle by not early establishing discipline, routine, habits, the honor of one's name, ancestry. Some think it is escaping reality to establish family honor in a child's life... esteem in one's name... esteem in appearance. The early establishment of chores, careful food intake, careful consideration toward others, even animals. One does not become a good citizen by accident, haphazard living. God does not care whether a father loves a mother or not, He prefers a child born of love. He does expect their flesh becoming one flesh to result in a civilized, productive citizen.

The door is opened to obesity (One-fifth of all children are obese) when parents start with a diet of sugared cereals, soft drinks, etc.

The door is opened to drug addiction with Ritalin or other Barbiturates. There are side effects for every drug... even an aspirin. ADD, ADHD were unknown just a few years ago but they have become a funnel for money to schools and parents. I can assure you that children on drugs in elementary school will be addicted to drugs of some sort the remainder of their lives. Worse yet, always on their record, when seeking employment, insurance.

The door is opened to alcoholism, a method of drug escape, drinking beer, wine coolers, etc. Four or five percent alcohol in beer leads quickly to fifty or sixty percent alcohol in bourbon. A small jolt with marijuana leads to a much larger jolt with cocaine. Among the heaviest alcoholics, women meet or surpass men. Both men and women are involved in alcohol rehabilitation. Alcoholism is a disease - abusive, dependency, twice as many men as women, simply because it does not affect women's employment or driving as much as men. Next to money, chief cause of divorce, four times higher with alcoholics. One of the saddest persons I have ever known, a surgeon whose wife was an uncontrolled alcoholic, because of his children, he would not divorce her.

Equally sad, an aunt and uncle whose female child born after they were 40 years of age, the daughter became a drug addict, destroyed them psychologically and financially.

The door is opened to addictive gambling with the almost innocent purchase of lottery tickets, betting on ball games. The wife of one of my college friends, a man exceptional in professional ability and personality, called me recently after he had been found dead in a Las Vegas hotel. She said, “He had a marvelous practice, two marvelous children, both doctors, but gambling had conquered him.“

The door is opened to idol worship when we put other things before God, such idols as technical toys (ipods, iphones, etc.). Many know more about ball scores, millionaire ball players, millionaire golfers, millionaire race car drivers, than they know about the poverty of real human beings around them.

The door is opened to greed and envy with constant attention to the stock market. Bankers are not your friends, stock brokers make money from you whether the market is going up or down. Sure, the price of gold, silver, palladium is important on the world stage. Don't neglect the performing stage of your family, friends, neighbors. One of this writer's greatest regrets, not keeping friendships in repair. Mark Twain said,”Friendships must be kept in repair.” The memories of High School, college friends, become important in old age.

The door is opened for your health problems when you neglect what you put in your body. Your body is a temple not a dumpster. Ill health comes from two main reasons, lack of nutrition for your cells and the toxicity of your cells from chemicals, mostly from plastic.

Many have asked me, why so much cancer? Everybody has cancer cells, everyone has cancer. It is a matter of your immune system whether tissue destruction starts. Cancer cells can disguise and trick. Much adulterated food, now eaten by humans in fast food places, was once put into pet food. Nothing is more destructive than GMOs and MSGs. Diabetes, an unknown disease while I was in school, is now an epidemic.

Satan has a plan for your life. 1) To keep you from becoming a Christian 2) To keep you from helping others to become Christian. 3) To keep you from caring about anything, even the health of your own body, the future of your country.

In trapping animals, pests, you look for tracks so you know where to put the trap, the poison. Satan is the tempter, knows how to trap us. Deal with your sin quickly, know the inescapable reality of Heaven and Hell.

Deficiency Balance

One of my medical anatomy professors Dr, Rafalko, told me once about the perfect murder. He said, “You can take a hatpin like a woman uses in her hat, put your victim to sleep, run the hatpin through the pupil of the eye, penetrating the retina and the bone which surrounds the retina, into the brain and you will provoke a perfect embolism or stroke. You can withdraw the hatpin from the head of the victim, the cornea over the eye will almost never show the penetration of the eye, unless a trained eye looks into the deceased's eye with an ophthalmascope and they never do such in an autopsy. The patient will give every symptom to have died by stroke which accounts for many deaths. (the big three - heart attack, cancer, stroke). To the uninitiated, everything is obscure. Most people thrive in a vacuum of obscurity-ignorance. A young man, father of four children, was working for me, having lost his construction job. He said, “I owe more money on my truck than it is worth”. The bank had already picked up his car which also was underwater. “I am going to just give the bank the keys too my truck and try to buy a used one cheap”. He did not realize that he could not borrow money to buy anything and that the full amount of his previous loans, both car and truck were still owed and would forever be on his credit report (called deficiency balance). Forty one percent of all underwater houses have a deficiency balance. Even though you may give the keys back to the bank, since your mortgage is more than the value of the home, you would still owe the original loan on the home (deficiency balance). This amount will be forever on your credit report.

College students who try to evade paying their college loans (cannot get a job, job obtained – not enough to live and repay loans, etc.) will find that the deficiency balance will haunt them the rest to their life... always on their credit report, affecting future purchases of anything, even insurance. Such is the trauma of borrowing money to go to college and getting a degree in worthlessness. It is truly amazing the number of restaurant servers, taxi drivers who own graduate degrees. The American people have been sold a fraud, hoax. A college degree, even a High School diploma, promises you nothing unless you have natural God-Inspired, self-acquired, talent and ability to go with it. I learned long ago, you can be the best doctor in the world, able to recite data-statistics from your textbooks... graduate at the top of your class but, without personality-charisma, you can be very unsuccessful. Eighty percent of a professional's career success (doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc.) depends on your God given-acquired personality. Like the hatpin, hard to uncover or discover. We have a new CONFIGURATION in world activities. In this nation's activities, many places in America about fifty percent of all homes underwater. One Washington, DC expert has suggested that the underwater homes be bulldozed so new housing projects can be built, increasing construction jobs. This is the objective of the Obama Administration, to put everyone in communist type gulag, government housing projects.

In the new configuration, bankruptcy has become a criminal operation. Morality at the top affects morality at the bottom. Chicago type decadence and racketeers such as Daley of the Daley machine, Rahm Emanuel, and even the conspirator in chief himself, Obama incentivizes those on the lower rungs of the ladder to cut corners, especially , everyone living as frugally as possible during hard times, “MooChelle” spending $10 million of vacations this year. Her recent South Africa trip, according to Judicial Watch (using The Freedom of Information Act) cost the taxpayers over $500,000 which does not include secret service and other expenses. Her two young daughters were listed as “Senior Staffers” She took her mother, niece, nephew, hairstylist, make up artists and other staffers with her.

The Obama's are enjoying their life of prestige, pretension, with the taxpayer funded fleet of jets, mansions and all other “decadence” accorded the chief executive. This is a new configuration-deficiency which will stay on their record at a time when Americans are living as miserly as possible... indentured servants.

For 2000 years, this side of the cross, the public has chosen thieves. Those who wanted change chose Barabbas. As our blessed Lord died on a cruel cross, Barabbas was back on the streets robbing. The blessed story, two thieves on either side of our Lord, one asked for forgiveness. (Luke 23:39-43) Jesus told us to remember him at the communion table. The Obama's, like many of us, should learn about “the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches”. (Mark 4:19)

In my life, the people and things which I thought were so important cannot do very little for me (family, friends,money, degrees) but God can. Like us, those in power, in the darkness of the night will deal with self and selfishness... deficiency balance.

Churning

On the farm, we learned early as children the mechanization-art of churning milk for butter. Probably, old as history, people were taught to put raw milk into large stoneware barrel type containers with a wood dasher, in which you gave the soured milk continuous motion until the butter formed at the top. Earliest churns were made of wood, the later electric churns were made of glass.

Cream rises to the top of raw milk and the cream churned produces butter. The butter is removed from the buttermilk, molded into cakes of butter about one pound each. My mother sold the butter, and many times the buttermilk. Buttermilk was used in the making of dough for bread.

It is from the familiar farm chore, exercise in producing butter, that the term churning arises, which is applied to many things. More so than any time in our nation’s history, even during the civil rights movement, we are seeing a churning in national life.

It has not happened accidentally, carefully planned. In the new world order, globalism-conspiracy of the super rich power brokers, this super power is being churned into international obedience. Incrementally and, because everything must depend on news media, print and electronic media have become state-controlled. If it were not for talk radio, you would never know of many developments., law enforcement, the judiciary, education, financial systems, all in obedience to politically-correct control. Control, like talking points, coming from the administration. Congress, under the guile and sorcery of administration threats. There was a time that money flowed from the people's house (House of Representatives) now, the administration makes all of the financial decisions. The president has become a loan shark of last resort.

So cleverly the president and longtime democrat control of the congress, longtime control of all bureaucracy, channel money, controls government. Republicans, out of power, even though in the White House, several times in my lifetime, know that democrats will out vote them, out maneuver them in every agency and almost every State. Republicans so itch to be popular with the press, Hollywood, academia, big money-giving corporations. Republicans, like most of us, have learned that democrats and sinners are more popular. Republicans itch to attend the big, sinful democrat bashes and cocktail parties. Republicans even have welcomed in to their mix, log cabin homosexuals, because these sinful-shameless gays and lesbians are so much fun... their campy attitude, their lack of restraint. Republicans, conservatives, Christians, itch to attend the big Hollywood-New York show-business parties. Republicans like the abandonment of morals found in the leisure-welfare class, non-working democrats. People who do not have jobs can play all day. One half this population fits this category, the 47 percent who do not pay any tax, who live casually, leisurely off the 50 percent “conservative worker bees”.

So, churned up, the other 50 percent of the population of America, now organized loosely, organized into the tea party... a mystery to the elitist Rhinos.

Rhinos (Republicans in name only), liberal republicans want to be democrats. They love the party mood, lack of morality of the democrats. Many Rhinos even believe in the killing of babies, same-sex marriage, increased taxation. Rhinos, like back-sliding Christians, are not willing to pay the price of absolutism. There are absolutes of right and wrong, saving and spending, black and white. Rhinos like the ambiguity of gray, not willing to pay the price of responsibility-opportunism-conservatism. The left, communist democrats, know where they stand... spending, spreeing, killing babies, sexual immorality. The right, Republicans, knowing that they are supposed to walk on the narrow road of moral conservatism, vary toward the middle of the road, a most uncomfortable and dangerous place, as proved by Bush 41, Bush 43, Dole, McCain and other Rhinos.

So, to the rescue, the rescue of a rapidly falling nation, the splendor, the integrity of the tea party movement... real conservatives, real defenders of the republic.

Herein, you have the difference, tea party patriots of the right compared to Wall Street protestors of the left.

America today is like the Viermark Republic just before Naziism . The brown shirts, mostly homosexuals had taken over the financially ruined Germany. Shame on Congress, ruining the military with the sexual problems of others. Shame on Congress, not knowing the difference in job producers and job consumers. Shame on academia, especially college students, particularly patriots, parents, pastors, willing to accept things as they are, the dumbest philosophy in the history of man.

Lifeboats

It has been said that the dirtiest thing known to man about every germ found in the lexicon of microbiology is found on fiat, paper money. A friend of mine, PhD in bacteriology, told me there is one thing dirtier than paper money, that is the handle on a commode In a public bathroom. Most people flush the commode before even washing their hands.

To further satisfy his suspicions, authenticate his study, he asked the manager of a large shopping center with an appropriate excuse, to let him watch the cleaners of the bathrooms. He said they cleaned, wiped off everything about the toilets, except the handle of the commode. In his petri dishes, in media, he was able to cultivate about every type of bacteria found on the handle. This writer has spent a lifetime studying the survival of the species... just how reckless we human beings are in what we put into our mouths, touch with our skin.

In spite of what the law books say, always putting human beings, made in the image of God, (Genesis 1:27) on the same level with the lower animals. The lower animals, with some exceptions, (hogs) in order to survive are very protective of themselves and their young. Thank God every day for your immune system and try to strengthen your immune system. The greatest vector in your existence are the things at the end of your arms called hands. The muscularity, neurology of the hands, colon, coordinated with the eyes: phenomenon of human existence. Watch a great pianist, great surgeon, even a seamstress yet, with the same hands we constantly bring bacteriological death into our very existence... touching poisonous door knobs. Anything which others have touched or handled along with the history of “previous touchings”. We have that well-worn custom of shaking the hands of people having no earthly idea where that hand has previously been.

It is like deserting a sinking ship constructed of cardboard, rescued by a lifeboat constructed of tissue paper. It was only 150 years ago that surgeons, cutting and sewing, seeking to save lives, learned to wash their hands. The Titanic was a ship which could not be sunk but now, it is on the bottom of the ocean. Of the hundreds aboard, just a a few hundred were saved in lifeboats, bounced around in icy seas... almost lost. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, famed WWII pilot was on rough seas in a raft for three weeks before rescue after his plane went down in the Pacific.

Most people carry around burdens, excess baggage, their entire life, seeking rescue. There is no sin which God will not forgive, no wound that God will not heal. The greatest joy of life, the thrill of existence, the Christian's lifeboat of salvation, assured of help “in time of need”. (Hebrews 4:16)

Have you ever seen an autopsy?, not a pretty sight, you open up the body, study everything, all organs, all tissues, to determine the cause of death. To the protestors on Wall Street, the people of America, still concerned about their country, I have done an autopsy of America. It is a matter of the seven deadly sins, to much pride in wrongdoing, anger toward one another, envy toward one another, laziness of many, lust-fulness (the objective of gays and the gay agenda) of many, greed of a few, gluttony (obesity) of a few.

The Middle East is rife with protests, long victimized-oppressed people seeking justice from ruling tyrants. The super rich, globalists of the world are puppeteering these orchestrated “coups”, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya. Syria, Turkey, even Israel. Like the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, holocaust in the Middle East leading to a confrontation, East against West with the involvement of Russia and China.

Like peeling back the layers of an onion, incremental-ism beyond comprehension, satanic forces... knowing exactly what they are doing, have taken over America. Firstly, the media, print and electronic, must be totally under their control. Dumbed-down by a wrecked education system, Numbed-down by CIA and other government agencies bringing in illegal drugs: further enabled by Big Pharma and prescription drugs, made cheaper by people who feel like they were cheated. An education system, judicial system, healthcare system, all kneeling at the altar of political correctness... all kneeling at the prison cell of government tax largess. A president with his loan-shark mentality of treasury bail outs. Churches, cathedrals, temples, whose leadership had rather be popular with the world than right with God, and, some of you in your stupor, think this nation can survive such profane decadence. As Gomer Pyle said, “Surprise, Surprise”. Communists as well as conservatives protesting there on Wall Street. Where have they been as our country drowned? Do they think they are a lifeboat? These very people who voted for the controllers of the “spigot” (Obama, Bernanke, Geithner, Goldman Sachs and their ilk, etc.) Where were these people when the congress exempted themselves from Wall Street racketeering. Poor Martha Stewart who had some insider information – went to jail. A Wall Street lobbyist said, “It does not cost me anything to give important information to congress-people.” Even Bernie Madoff said, “The game is rigged.” Who would think that fluctuations in the stock market of several hundred points per day are not manipulated. Fortunes have been made with computerized trading. Democrat congress-people have increased their wealth 750 percent in one year. Every government official, elected or otherwise, making money from warfare, should be in prison.

Remember, $9.4 trillion of wealth has been lost in the stock market in the last three months. Losses suffered by hardworking, God-fearing, taxpaying, average investors, just trying to get ahead. 100 years ago, General Smedley D. Butler said, “War is a racket.” Yes, protestors, there is much to protest form the God-fearing, hardworking, tax paying citizen who are paying the price. Not you, if you had a job, preparing for a job, or were aware of what has been going on for a very long time, you would vote differently, live differently. When a country has lost it's morality, integrity, it's Christ-centered foundation, only God can save us.

Comictry

An antiquarian book collector for over 50 years, I have maintained in my home a world class collection of 1^st edition books, magazines and other ephemera which I now sell online. Among the collection, 17,000 old comic books. From civilizations beginnings, once shown in drawings in ancient caves later described in ancient tomes, men have been fascinated-intrigued with differences in one another. In the recesses of the mind, in comic books and other drawings... today even photography and video games. The imagination of men run wild in costume and exploits.

We fantasize about history before the great flood of 5000 BC... Babylon. The first Jew, Abraham, moving 600 miles north, encountering remnants of the civilization of Noah. We know that Cain, first born son of Adam, migrated into Africa... the tribes of Israel migrated from the desert encountering seven civilizations in the promised land. History, warfare, even to this day, marked by man's attempt to bring others into conformity. Most believe that you either master other cultures or other cultures will master you.

At a Medical Museum in Berlin, Germany, Africans recently protested about skeletons, stolen from Namibia during the German occupation of west Africa, studied by the Germans for their differences from Eurasians. They had done the same with skeletons of Aborigines in Australia. Protests occurred when Germans called ;the skeletons THINGS. Amid the music, grand solemnity, words connected with the German gesture toward African differences, the sentiments of the descendants of these people stated that their was no dignity toward the bones which were at one time alive.

This writer has been astounded troubled for years with a lack of privacy and dignity accorded the dead. People at the Vatican were lined up for miles to stare at the dead body of Pope John Paul.

As a totally blind, 100% disabled, service conned medical officer of the Korean conflict. I have been told by others how people stare at me and other disabled in public. At one time, in modern etiquette, it was considered bad manners to stare at anyone any different. WHY WOULD THEIR BE A VIEWING AT ANY TIME ANYWHERE, THE DEAD REMAINS OF A ONCE LIVE, VERY PRIVATE PERSON. You certainly take away their dignity because they cannot look back, have no idea of their appearance to you.

Once, a good friend gave me a tour of his funeral home. He said, “From the time we pick up the body, we show all the privacy and dignity we know how to show to a deceased person. We keep them covered with a sheet throughout the preservation. He, like me, felt that all deceased should have a closed casket with the possible exception of a final look by the family. I have heard of photographing the dead. On the cover of magazines, Princess Grace of Monaco, Emmett Till of Chicago (lynched, started the entire civil rights protest), a spy from National Enquirer paid much money to photograph Elvis in his $8,000 casket (identical to the one in which his mother was buried.) and his photograph on the cover of the magazine.

I was in the nation of Nepal, small village, an old monk had died. Around the clock, the people were celebrating his life, dancing and chanting around the Buddhist temple. I had a small shadow of sight in one eye at the time, enough so I could see what was going on. I was told that it had been several days, the body was decomposing, was asked if I wanted to view him? I do not want to infringe on the privacy of another human being, dead or alive.

In clinical death, the Christian dies once, the unsaved, dies twice, clinical and spiritual. The saved, dying once because born twice, physical and born again as a Christian.

In Hell, there is no light, all darkness. In Hell, no laughter, dancing, music, a horror pit for eternity. Heaven is beautiful, lighted bliss for eternity. I know people who think they will go to Heaven when they die, who never enjoyed worship, God's people on earth. I know those who went to church their entire life, who could not quote one verse of holy scripture... tell you anything about their religious beliefs. The Bible, God's inspired, inerrant word, His love letter to His own, instruction-answer book for everything in life.

The homosexuals number about 3 percent of the American population 0.2 percent gay households, yet the gay agenda, in the media, in the education system dominates the population. 82 percent of all Americans claim to be Christian yet allow this small percentile to dominate their lives, allow such a practice as staring at the deceased, family and friends to persist.

God can forgive any sin, heal any wound. The book of Revelation was not put in the Bible by mistake. God tells us what He thinks of false religions, not doing things His way, after all, He is Sovereign, He is Boss. We cannot sing, as did Sinatra, (I did it my way) and please God. The greatest joy of human existence is preventing sorrow to God because He created us for His joy. Life is not comictry, wild imaginations.

Droneing

To the uninitiated everything is obscure. Dumbed down from the government schools. Numbed down from Big Pharma and other addictions. The American people do not have a clue about what is going on. Spoiled, obese, diabetic, pathetic in their ignorance, just keep your mind on television trash... millionaires running up and down a ball field, your gut full of GMOs, your brain numbed by fluorides and chlorides in your drinks.

New thoughts on judicial-due process restraint. New methods of military combat. Keeping the enemy, even American citizens in check-control by droneing, a new killing machine.

Two American born terrorists with family still in this country, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, killed in the nation of Yemen by drones. (small, model airplanes, navigated from great distances, with the ability to discern facial features and drop a tremendous pay-load.)

In the Mumbo-Jumbo of Washington politics, a commander in chief totally over his head in the military as well as domestic policies. We know of drone usage in Pakistan, North Korea and even over metropolitan areas of America. It is agreeable with everyone that terrorists should be snuffed out but, is it agreeable that the disagreeable should be subjected to judicial-subjective activity. Who will be next, political opponents? Writers of questioning blogs? At least, in the old days, the antagonist wore black pajamas and arrived in black helicopters.

In a time when the average college student graduates $20,000 in debt, no jobs available, when liberals such as Anita Dunn and John Podesta crying about the super rich not paying their fair share, lobby for rich corporations such as Google, Apple, Facebook to be exempted from overseas taxes. The paradoxical-hypocrisy never ends. Both the rich and the poor, left and right feeling sorry for selves, hitting a mutual funny bone. Both republicans and democrats, right and left, jousting to screw the taxpayer with additional taxation... at least the few who still pay taxes.

Manipulating the stock market, not just a democrat party activity. (Democrats, Washington politicians, increasing their net worth with wild market fluctuations... 750% on the stock market last year). Wall street, hedge funds shorting stocks making obscene profits for banks and democrat politicians. In the past, warfare like stock trading was up close and personal. Even in WWII, many were killed with the bayonet, in the stock market you had the ticker tape in your hands.

To the 47 percent who are working, paying taxes, investing, the loss in the stock market of $9.4 trillion in the past three months has become very personal. With wars, field grade officers get promotions, Colonels become Generals. Always, it is the boys and girls from the poor homes that are killed along with innocent civilians ( From March, 2003 – August, 2011 over 110,600 deaths (AP)). Has your life really changed since the deaths of Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden? Think of the billions of dollars that could have been saved if these smart men wearing brass, scrambled eggs on their head gear, HAD “DRONED” HUSSEIN OR BIN LADEN.

The American taxpayer, God-fearing, hardworking, has greater enemies than Muslim tyrants. Specialist on the Great Depression, Ben Bernanke is public enemy #1.

Hitler's chief of propaganda, Herman Goebbels, must be very old now. He surely was kept alive, preserved in Washington, DC. Where else would Bernanke, the democrat party, the talking points fed to the media's propaganda originate?

David Wilkerson, pastor, author of the bestseller The Cross and The Switchblade prophesied before he recently died, that an earth shattering calamity was about to happen. Americans do not care about prophets but profits. Even if it comes from building war machinery to kill others resulting in the killing of their own children.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:2)

Boundaries

Michael Savage, popular radio talk host, national call-in show originating from San Francisco, perhaps the brightest, PhD - Botany, author of many books, often refers to the Bible. Recently, he was reading from the old testament, talking of how the Bible, of all books verifies itself, has predicted every event in history. He said, “NO one wants to hear me read the Bible... most people hate the Bible.”

The day will come when those who hate the Bible, even the pretenders on church pews who do not want to hear the Bible, study the Bible, will think of their foolishness.

Last breath here, first breath, there. One minute after clinical death, you will either be enjoying beauty beyond compare in Heaven or horror and ugliness beyond compare in Hell. You have one of two choices and as always, there must be two in order to have a choice.

You can be pro-life or pro-death. Choice of eating healthy or eating foolishly (only you can decide if your body is a temple or a dumpster) Choice of sexual purity or sexual promiscuity (all sixth grade girls are not promiscuous) Choice of looking the best you can with what you have or retreating in your ugliness (some are disabled or deformed, some are short, some have unattractive facial features, etc.) It would be a wonderful world IF everyone, were beautiful, healthy, wealthy and wise. God made you what you are, a unique individual. Of the seven billion people living on earth today, of the billions who have lived before us, just as He designed every snowflake, every grain of sand, there is not another, has not been another like you... special facial features, special voice, even special Iris flecks in your eyes. You are SPECIAL.

It is the unexpecteds in life that we cannot control. The Friday, March 11, Tsunami that hit the mainland of Japan, waves were 90 feet high... just wiped out everything for miles, ocean going vessels put on land. The thousands who lost their lives in this tragedy, like the thousands who lost their lives in 9/11/01 were industrious, charismatic people who went to work in the morning, they loved and were loved. A disaster has hit America every month this year, taking lives. Religious faith has nothing to do with it, God does what He pleases but, the choice of belief in a Power greater that ourselves is our choice. In 1995, only 1/2 of 1 percent of the people of Japan were Christian. Today, 12 percent are Christian.

I don't care how blasé, reckless, unconcerned a person may be. In the darkness on his bed, in the bedroom at night, every person's soul reaches toward belief. Each of us has the choice, the uncertainty is there. In 1982, the Tylenol scare, someone putting arsenic in bottles of Tylenol. One magazine states that 3200 people are killed in auto accidents each day (caradvice.com). On the highway, particularly in the flimsy cubicles of metal in which you ride a vehicle coming towards you in the adjoining lane is just a few feet from killing you, and so it is with so many things, hazards of daily life. You have the choice of living with fear everywhere or living by faith. God's word tells us 365 times not to fear. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4)

It is easy to understand why young people do not believe in anything anymore: 75%, after leaving home for college, never return to the church. They see the prosperity of the wicked gangsters in government, financial system. The average salary at the United Nations is $119,000 per year. Priests, pastors, politicians, teachers are at the very bottom of their list in respectability. Doctors, lawyers, dentists, big Pharma at the bottom of their list of respectability. You have a choice of being a model citizen... a model professional, or being a reject of society. All criminals are not in prison, many cross the boundaries or live close to the boundaries of lawlessness. Many have “honorable” before their names, have dipped the public treasury dry, now live at ease on fat pensions.

One university student worked for me one day, drove my car (me scared to death) one time. His father was a retired Marine General. His grandparents retired thoracic surgeons. Since his father was a retired General, even though the student's abilities were slim he had always lived like a Prince... ate out in a fine restaurant every meal, had worked with Greenpeace for many years, no salary. He told me, without shame, “I despise everything that is good or decent in the world.” He had made his choice.

I lived through the Great Depression, I have seen death, depravity, disease all over the world. I made my choice concerning self denial, living within a strict budget at least seventy years ago. I know what has happened to those who spend and spree. The most important boundaries in the world are boundaries you impose on self. In this Great Recession when prices are rising dramatically every day, what will happen to the 47 percent who pay no income tax, the 47 percent so-called middle class who are heavily taxed, when milk prices rise to $10 per gallon.?

In eight 'round the world trips, many horrendous sites. Perhaps the worse, the death wagons in Bombay, India (wagons going down the streets every morning picking up dead from the streets, human beings being born on the streets, living there entire lives on the streets and then dying on the streets. Mother Theresa could not save them all.

I could never understand prostitution, whoredom. A human being, female or male, who would sell the most private part of their existence for money. It is now the American system, State houses, courthouses, church houses. We made the choice to forget our boundaries and every day we experience the results.

Hand Me Downs

Merriam Webster says that hand me downs are ready made usually cheap and shoddy. Those of us reared in the Great Depression, know about hand me downs. My younger brother certainly wore clothing which I had outgrown. It seems strange now, in this time of designer clothing, expensive dress makers, that females of my youth wore mostly homemade clothing-dresses. Some women lived their entire lives and never had a store bought, ready made dress. Most men, after adulthood never own but one suit of clothes... and they were usually buried in that suit. I remember helping one of my old uncles get dressed for a funeral. He had one pair of Sunday-High Top shoes, at 70, the only Sunday shoes he had ever owned. (And they were still in good condition, because he had polished them every time he wore them.)

I still have clothing which I wore in college, over 60 years ago... shirts, sweaters, ties (which I have worn my entire life) One should be a conservative not just in politics. If a man tells me he is a republican conservative and he is not conservative in every way... every area of his life, saving money, responsible in his eating and other habits, living a “Holy life” before his family and community. Unless I see these qualities, he is not a conservative. I have seen too many hungry people around the world on my many world travels, to throw away any food. Thank God, I have saved every book, every magazine (even from planes of defunct airlines, even playbills of Broadway plays) All these things I am now selling online. Americans are a wasteful people. You could not believe the physical depravity I have seen in this world. (hungry people, people dressed in rags living in squalor). At least 3/4ths of the world's population would like to live from the average American's garbage can.

I do not hold myself up as an example for anything but, I do not own one article of clothing which was not bought in a thrift store... not one shirt that costs over 25 cents... second hand... hand me downs. Living a frugal-sensible life, I can give most of my income to those in need, those involved in God's work, awards and scholarships, which should encourage recipients.

It is not always attainable but, every child should have the advantage of a mother and father. I had the great advantage by being raised by two hardworking, god-fearing, tax paying parents. My mother and father were the hardest working people I have ever known and, because of their hard work, their four children knew by example the honor of work, achievement, the value of a dollar. Their children excelled in school, all college graduates, all successful careers, all millionaires. We know from where we came.

(Isaiah 51:1-6) Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

I have one cousin who has never said one good word about a member of his family, his ancestry. Reared by hardworking, god-fearing parents, both of which came from the same type families, always bitter because some were more prosperous. I know he had a hard life, so did many of us but, he took advantage of opportunity and excelled. You cannot spend your life by cutting others down, even your own ancestry to build yourself up. I have tried to explain how fortunate to have had his ancestry, opportunity. (1 timothy 3:16 (God was manifest in the flesh))

In September, 1952, first Methodist Church, Memphis, TN, I heard an assistant pastor read from the NIV version opt the Bible. He said, “This is a historical day in your life, a new version of the bible not a hand me down from 1611. The KJV, 1611, (we celebrate it's 400th anniversary this year) is the gold standard of translations. Scholars, from 5,309 manuscripts not one varying from the other, we have the greatest literature, poetry... the bible is the only book that verifies itself. (Holy men to transcribe). We worship God's word in everything, there must be two for choice. In the translation, we have the King James, and then the others. There is now a homosexual translation in which God is considered neutral.

Satan tried, could not keep God's word from mankind. Revolutionary when the bible became available to the common man. William Tydndale, who spoke eight languages, so incensed Catholicism and the King of England, translated the bible from Latin into English, was burned at stake in 1536. Tyndale's ashes washed into the Thames, from there to the oceans, and from there through the world, the bible is now in every corner of the world, many language translations. So many mistakes in new translations. Satan attempting to compromise God's inspired word. Example: 1 Timothy 3:16 and others about the Virgin Mary. Many fundamentalist scholars believe that new translations such as the NIV are perversions... go so far as to compare real gold with fool's gold.

Whether the Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, or Geneva Bible, any hand me down with a moral compass as fogged as it is in the world today, we need to read, hear, study, God's word, the manufacturer's handbook from the designer Himself.
