The Phobia That Could Kill America

/in , /by

In today’s politically correct and multi generation indoctrinated America, the word phobia is often used to quiet patriots and Christians rather than make an honest point.  At one time in our nation, it an individual observed horrendous actions by someone, they could state the facts about what they saw, show a picture and the truth would be allowed to stand unchallenged.

There was also a time when Americans of all races considered American interests to be of the most utmost importance.  After all, most Americans were intelligent and well informed enough to understand that the importance of rational self interest and would not tolerate the concept of allowing the United States to be endangered just to appease those who have vowed to murder us.

At one time, the majority of sovereign citizens of America would at the very least cautious about continuing to allow special rights, or preferred treatment of illegal immigrants at the expense of tax paying Americans.  They are being forced to pay for the housing, medical care and education of illegal immigrants and their children.  That is not right, to say the very least.  In fact, it is completely unwise, but like I have said in my radio commentary, “The Edwards Notebook, wisdom has taken wing and flown back to God.

Dictionary.com defines xenophobia as unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners, just for being foreigners, or that which is foreign or strange.  Now, if Americans were running around espousing hatred towards legal immigrants, foreigners just for being foreigners, homosexuals just for existing, etc. etc. that would be one crazy thing.  But the problem is that American society is now so programed against common sense that people are calling those who want to protect the United States from harm, xenophobes, racists, bigots, and much worse names I cannot use in my family friendly column.

Let us take a look at the Muslim problem, for example.  Muslims have a millennium plus long history of plotting to overthrow non-Muslim nations, who’s citizens don’t bump their heads on little rugs to honor allah.  To this very day, racist Muslims consider black people to be raisin heads who are without souls.  They enslaved black Africans long before Europeans and later Americans did.  As you read these words of truth, the Muslims now own and abuse over 20 million slaves, mostly Africans.  In the United States, there are at least 22 known Muslim zones, where anti American sentiment is very strong, to say the very least.  But United States progressives and even some appeasing republicans look the other way without saying a simple word about this ongoing horror story.

But if an American sovereign citizen dares to voice concern about the obvious motives of Muslims, who for the most part admit they refuse to assimilate into American society, they are wrongfully labeled as bigots, racists, islamaphobes, or xenophobes.

Yet the Americaphobe president Obama continues to endanger our beloved republic with his horrendous policies, such as fighting to prevent states like Arizona and Texas from protecting their borders and citizens from United States hating, ungrateful illegal immigrants.  Many of them are being accompanied by Muslim terrorists even as you are reading.  Other Americaphobes like the black lives matter gumps in Baltimore have threatened to kill presidential candidate Donald Trump.  Yet the same people who call patriotic Americans who defend our nation and way of life xenophobes, racists and bigots will not address the black lives matter gumps for their vicious verbiage.

It is becoming more difficult to identify Americans who actually give a darn about where we live in this country.  I am talking about the literal millions of Americans who refuse to respond to the horrendous policies of Obama and the bend over to please republicans in congress who have let the president literally get away with dismantling our military, flat lining our economy, dividing America racially, economically and politically.  While at the same time, Obama has ruined our relationships with most of our nations allies.  But yet, far too many people scream xenophobe at those wanting to protect our nation from destruction.

The United States of America has been a uniquely blessed nation like no other in human history.  But the self serving progressives who are hell bent on establishing a permanent socialist utopia have for too long been allowed to destroy this republic, bit by bit by bit.  One must come to the logical conclusion that those progressives who scream phobia labels at those who’s goals include making America great again are themselves the real bigots, Americaphobes and let us not forget, Christianphobes, constitutionphobes and even propertyrightsphobes.

My fellow Americans, if you appreciate this republic and desire to leave a better nation for your children and grandchildren, I strongly urge you to join in the worthy effort to help restore the principles that made her the onetime envy of the world.  Just because America wasn’t perfect by the unreal standards propped up by the hordes of progressive snivelers who could not care one little bit about real solutions to America’s problems.  If they did, the solutions they have enacted and promoted for decades would have improved, rather than have destroyed inner city neighborhoods, for example.

The choice is up to you, may we all remember to seek providential guidance in the effort to revive our constitutionally limited republic.  It helped the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, thus it can most assuredly help us.  Good knows we need it.

Silence From the Pulpits

/in , , , /by

The virtual silence of most churches concerning the plight of Christians at the hands of Islamic terrorists baffles me.

This is something I have pondered for several years as I have studied, read and learned about the Islamic movement, and more specifically the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in our country over roughly the past fifty years. A recurring thought was, “Is this the way pre-Nazi Germany felt?” Let me explain.

There must be millions of Americans right now that understand, without a doubt, our country exists in a perilous situation. In addition to what we know, is an accompanying feeling that our time is short.

I remember sitting in a pastor’s office in Savannah who was a great mentor. He and I would talk on occasion about what was going on in this country. He would say, “Suzanne, what should be down is up, what is up is down, what should be wrong is right, and what should be right is wrong.” That pretty much summed it up for me, but I wondered if the German people experienced the same premonition. If they did, how many tried to alter the course of their country?

As I pondered this I stumbled upon an article entitled The Sin of Silence, by Dr. Laurence White. It was a prophetic message given in September 2000. White told about being at a Christian University several years prior to hear a prominent pastor. The speaker was introduced by the President of the university who was of German decent. The president spoke these words,

“Today is November the 9th, the 50th anniversary of “Kristal Nacht,” the Night of the Broken Glass. On this day in 1938, Nazi thugs moved through the cities of Germany smashing the windows of German homes and shops, burning the synagogues. Innocent people; men, women and children were beaten and killed simply because they were Jews. I was there as a young man and I can still hear the sound of the shattering glass. There were many of us who were Christians then but we did nothing. We looked the other way and we did nothing. That was the beginning of the Holocaust because the Jew haters knew then that no one would stop them, no one would stand in their way.”

There seem to be so many parallels today as we are faced with a similar ideology in Islam. Except this time, in addition to the Jewish people being targeted, the Christians are as well.

Dr. White spoke of the cultural war we are in with fractured families, militant homosexuals seeking complete approval, rampant abortion, and the pursuit of immediate self-gratification. “For while the killing goes on and the nation is led down the path of destruction, the church and her pastors stand silent and afraid. This country that we love, our America, is fighting for her life. Not against the military power of foreign enemies, but against the principalities and powers of this dark age. You and I, as sons and daughters of the Lord Jesus Christ, but even more so, those of you here today who are pastors of the church of Jesus Christ, are being called upon to take a stand in this moment of crisis. And let there be no one among us who doubts the urgency of this hour. To compare what is happening in America today to Nazi Germany is no mere flight of rhetorical exaggeration.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a lionhearted young pastor during Hitler’s reign. He called out the churches for their lack of action. He said, “She was silent when she should have cried out because the blood of the innocent was crying aloud to heaven. The church must confess that she has witnessed the lawless application of brutal force, the physical and spiritual suffering of countless innocent people, oppression, hatred, and murder. And that she has not raised her voice on behalf of the victims. And has not found way to hasten to their aid.”

We have very similar circumstances today. One very passionate Baptist leader, Coy Webb,  decided he was going to actually do something to help the persecuted. He was a part of a seven member medical and children’s trauma team from the Kentucky Baptist Convention who recently spent over a week in Iraq assisting other believers who daily face death in the war weary country.

Webb, obviously influenced by the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wrote, “Our persecuted brothers and sisters are crying out to God and to the church. How can we remain silent? Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

His travels brought him into contact with one woman who said, “We now know that the plan of ISIS is to wipe the earth clean of Christians. Their goal is genocide…to eradicate every follower of Christ.” As ISIS made their way across the country, hundreds of thousands of Christians and Yizidis were displaced, tortured, enslaved or slaughtered. The one resounding question that was asked of the team was, “Will you please tell our story to the world?” Coy Webb recommends ways you can help in his article.

The kind of attacks that have been happening in the Middle East and Africa, may soon be more prevalent here. The likelihood increases as time goes on and more refugees arrive from Muslim countries with no expectation of themselves becoming truly American.

There are presently Sharia adherent Muslims living throughout this country. Those Muslims who are Sharia adherent do not recognize our Constitution as the law of the land. In general they would like to see Sharia Law govern America. Many of these believe their sole purpose is to bring about the Caliphate through any means.

As a matter of fact, the Quran teaches an obligation to engage in jihad. It is also documented that when Muslims reach certain percentages in communities they start demanding things. We see this happening in some cities like Dearborn, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota, where populations of Muslims have grown tremendously.

I believe church leaders have a responsibility to educate their congregations about what is happening in this country just like the German pastors should have encouraged and kept their congregations informed and ready to act in defense of defenseless people.

I have communicated with numerous pastors and clergy either by email or personal one on one meetings about this very subject. Several have been courageous and have held special events at their churches to educate their congregations about what the doctrine of Islam really is and the threat it poses to our way of life.

Churched people, of all people, should understand the issues surrounding the Islamic movement in order to better equip their children to defend their faith. The  public schools now teach that Islam is a religion of peace and the jihadists who flew planes into the World Trade Center, were freedom fighters.

Another reason for educating the church about Islam is that it allows Christians to be knowledgeable when sharing their faith with their Muslim friends. I have heard a testimony by Dr. Nabeel Qureshi. He shared how much respect he had for his Christian friend who reached out and shared his faith with him. Qureshi has a heartrending story about how he chose to leave Islam and embrace Christianity which required him to sever all ties with his family and former life. He is an amazing man.

Courageous leadership is needed in our churches today in order to equip the people with knowledge of the enemy and encouragement to stand up, speak truth and begin to alter the course of this country for its survival. We can no longer sit in the pews and say or do nothing. There are some wonderful churches engaged in standing for truth, but many more need to join them.

May this not be said of us, “By our apathy, by our acquiescence, and by our ignorance, the church of Jesus Christ has consigned itself to irrelevance and impotence in the ongoing struggle for the soul of America.” – Alexis De Toqueville

Trump Says Hold Women Who Have Abortions Accountable — Why he is right!

/in , , , , , /by

Steven Ertelt of LifeNews.com wrote an article titled, “The Inept Thing Donald Trump Said About Women Who Have Abortions is Making Pro-Lifers Cringe.” Ertelt wrote:

While pro-life advocates yearn for the day when unborn children are protected under law and abortions are banned, the pro-life movement has historically opposed punishing women who have abortions — instead focusing on holding abortion practitioners criminally accountable for the unborn children they kill in abortions.

But who makes the decision to get pregnant and then decides to abort the unborn baby? Answer: The woman!

The pro-life movement is being politically correct, but does that stop women from getting pregnant and then seeking an abortion? Are they failing to discern an overall pattern from a mass of detail; to see the big picture, or the broader, more general situation. Are pro-lifers, like Ertelt, failing to see the forest for the trees?

This is, forgive the metaphor, a classic chicken and the egg causality dilemma. If you want to protect the egg, you must insure the chicken doesn’t lay the egg until it understands the moral and social importance of the egg.

The only thing that stops a women from getting pregnant are the words: NO, I WON’T!

Alexis de Tocqueville, in his seminal critique of the newly formed United States titled “Democracy in America“, wrote:

“[N]ow that I am drawing to the close of this work, in which I have spoken of so many important things done by the Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women.”

It is therefore incumbent that we, as a society and culture, do everything possible to help women become “superior.” For as de Tocqueville noted over 200 years ago the “singular prosperity and growing strength” of America is due to the “superiority” of our women.

It is a superior woman’s choice to get pregnant.

With the exception of rape, a heinous crime against women which the United Nations has yet to call a hate crime, it is up to women to make the decision on becoming a mother. It is the woman who is the giver of life. It is the woman who carries the burden and joy of pregnancy. It is the woman who raises her child or children to become good adults and follow her example.

Women who make the right choices should be emulated and rewarded. Those who make bad choices should neither be subsidized nor imitated.

A superior woman is a strong woman, a moral woman and a prosperous woman. A weak woman does not make the right decision when it comes to life choices, the most important being to bear a child. It is the weak woman who is historically poor, dependent on government and who ultimately decides to murder her mistake.

For decades the pro-choice movement has made a women’s right to murder her unborn baby their mantra. They demand that government stay out of their wombs but want government to pay for their abortions. An oxymoron, which gives government approval to literally enter their wombs.

If the pro-choicers are correct, then who must make the final pregnancy decision? Answer: The one with a womb.

Defunding Planned Parenthood and closing abortion clinics does not solve the fundamental issue of women having babies and then deciding to kill them. What must change is how women view their role as a woman. Quite simply its how women look at having sex and one of the outcomes of doing so, getting pregnant.

Efforts to provide education, public funding for contraception devices, government counseling services and pro-life protests have all failed to address the most important part of the equation – the Woman!

Perhaps it is now time to break this politically correct mantra of not holding the woman, and men, responsible. “It takes two to tango!” Men have an equal, if not greater, responsibility should their wife, girlfriend or significant other become pregnant.

I believe Donald Trump has it right. This issue is not about placing blame, rather it is all about personal responsibility.

What must be ultimately restored is nothing less than the “superiority of the American woman”.

FLORIDA: Pensacola’s 101 Year Old Opera Maven and Holocaust Sleuth

/in , , /by

A few weeks ago I received a phone call from a venerable Pensacola friend and B’nai Israel Synagogue member.  She is an independent 101 year old vibrant and well read woman. Last year, there was a wonderful celebration on her attainment of a hallmark as one of the community’s centenarians. She is revered by our congregation and the general community because of her leadership in helping to found a regional feeding program as well as enthusiastic supporter of the construction of a much needed new Public Library. She is also an opera maven and as we will shortly see, a holocaust sleuth. All of which figure in the premiere of a  holocaust theme opera, Out of Darkness by the Pensacola Opera to be performed at the Opera Center March 31st, April 1st to 3rd. A special performance of Out of Darkness is scheduled at Temple Beth El in Pensacola on April 17th.

The message she left bubbled over with compliments for the beautiful performance of a recent production of the Merry Widow by the Pensacola Opera that her visiting daughter and son in law took her to watch. They brought her the following  day to the Pensacola Library to listen to the Pensacola Opera Artists in Residence (AIRs) perform Jack and the Beanstalk before an audience of over 100 children. When one of the Opera staff found out that was her 101st birthday, the AIRs and the children saluted her with a rousing rendition of happy birthday.

There is a fascinating story relayed to me by the wife of a fellow Opera trustee who volunteers as head of the Library bookstore. It concerns the discovery in September 2008 of a Holocaust era onionskin Nazi era German Army telephone directory from occupied Paris in 1942.  My Opera colleague’s wife, then President of the West Florida Library Board, and library volunteers were sorting donations of books and magazines in September 2008 when a hand-bound 96 page booklet Nazi relic was discovered in a brown paper bag of women’s magazines contributed anonymously.  The original onionskin telephone directory was sent by the Friends of the Pensacola Library to the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) were it was authenticated.  The title to the Wehrmacht  directory in wartime Paris was officially transferred  by the Friends of the Pensacola Public Library to the SWC’s Archives at the Museum of Tolerance in January 2009 as a gift and given the Archives accession number #2008-065.  Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the SWC commented:

The Nazis occupied Europe through force of arms and there were many incidents of the Wehrmacht’s direct involvement in atrocities. The directory reflects how meticulously everything related to the Nazi Third Reich was organized and recorded.

There was a Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom Ha Shoah) special event held on April 21, 2009 at the Pensacola Library. The event was held to celebrate finding the Nazi era relic and remembering the more than 72,500 French Jews, out of a pre-war population of 350,000, who were deported and murdered in Nazi death camps during the Holocaust.  Copies of the German Army 1942 Paris telephone directory were displayed at the reception.

There was a missing page in the display copy. Enter my venerable friend then in her 90’s. She told the volunteer head of the Library bookstore that years earlier there was a article about a German family living in the vicinity. My venerable friend who had kept the article presented it to the library bookstore volunteer.

In commemoration of the discovery of the Nazi relic on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2009, Andy Marlette, editorial cartoonist at the Pensacola News Journal drew a cartoon depicting the Nazi relic against the backdrop of former Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Khamenei. They sponsored annual holocaust denial conferences in Tehran espousing “wiping the Zionist enterprise, meaning the Jewish nation of Israel, off the map of the world.”

The Pensacola Opera premiere of Out of Darkness is a work by acclaimed American contemporary composer Jake Heggie. The opera was composed in three separate movements; “Another Sunrise,” “Farewell Auschwitz” and “For a Look or a Touch.”

The first two movements are based on the poetry and writings of a remarkable Jewish woman survivor of both the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and Auschwitz, Sonia Landau, who took the nom de guerre Krystyna Zywulska as a member of Polish resistance. Landau/Zywulska was captured by the Nazis, imprisoned in Warsaw and then sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau.  She wrote about her experiences in two books, I Survived Auschwitz (1946) and Empty Water (1966), the later about her experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto. She and her family were displaced from Lodz to Warsaw in 1941, spending two years in the Ghetto before her escape to the ‘Aryan side’.   She remained in post war Poland, continued writing poetry and children stories. With the rise of anti-Semitism during the Communist Gomulka regime, post- the 1967 June War in Israel, she and other Jewish intellectuals found themselves deprived of state auspices.  Her writings were expunged from official bibliographies. She left for West Germany where she died in 1992 in Dusseldorf.

The premiere of Out of Darkness will be performed by the talented AIRs of the Pensacola Opera; soprano Allison Nicholas as “Krystyna”, mezzo soprano Amanda Fink, baritone Thaddeus Ennen, and tenor Nicholas DeMeo.

We hope that  our venerable  centenarian  opera maven and holocaust  sleuth will attend  Out of Darkness , as we know the Pensacola library volunteer and her husband, a fellow Opera trustee , and perhaps Andy Marlette the PNJ  cartoonist, will as well.

Try Everything! Shakira Is Right by Jeffrey Tucker

/in , , , , /by

Once again, Disney has knocked it out of the park with a wonderfully catchy song at the end of its latest hit movie. The film is “Zootopia,” the inspirational story of a rabbit with ambitions to stretch her professional goals beyond prevailing familial and social expectations.

The hit song, “Try Everything,” is performed by Shakira. It does more than sum up the film’s inspiring message for individuals. It highlights crucial features of the social order and structure of the world around  that social science has mistakenly denied for longer than a century. It turns out that this song — a seemingly superficial pop song marketed to kids — represents a fundamental attack on the prevailing model of science and politics, as constructed by the ruling class of many generations, and completely upends it.

The music is upbeat. The song is joyful. The mood is celebratory. And yet the lyrics begin with a clear announcement: “I messed up tonight, I lost another fight.” This is the first clue that we are about to learn something counterintuitive. Why, with such a joyful tune, are the words about “falling down” and “hitting the ground?”  Why should anyone be happy about messing up?

The answer comes quickly: “I always get up now to see what’s next.”

There are layers to this question of what’s next. That we must seek to know the future at all points to a fundamental truth that we can either treat as terrifying or hopeful.

On the individual level, our skills are improved with every attempt that ends in failure because we toss out the failed pattern in search of a new successful pattern. We don’t necessarily know the path forward. But trying strategies and failing at least gets us closer to what might be true, if only by the process of elimination. Our skills are trained. More importantly, our sense of judgment over what works and what doesn’t undergoes gradual refinement.

Entrepreneurship

Here we see the essence of entrepreneurship, and probably its most salient feature: one that makes real-world business far different from how it is described in textbooks. There is no instruction manual, no sure-fire method for commercial success. The entrepreneur is the driving force of an ongoing discovery process. The process might be compared to entering a pitch-black room and searching for the light switch. You crawl along the wall, vaguely intuiting where that switch might be. You know only a few things: it is not likely low to the ground and not likely too high to reach. But these clues don’t tell you precisely where it is.

Ludwig von Mises described the honing of the entrepreneurial intuition as ever further refinements in understanding (a translation of the richer and more subtle German word “verstehen”). “Understanding,” he wrote, “can approach the problem of forecasting future conditions. We may call its method unsatisfactory and the positivists may arrogantly scorn it. But such arbitrary judgments must not and cannot obscure the fact that understanding is the only appropriate method of dealing with the uncertainty of future conditions.”

Failure as Value

A crucial feature of success is failure as a necessary antecedent and precondition. Because failure is the signal you actually experience in the course of refining one’s judgement, it might be said to be the most valuable feature of entrepreneurship. Indeed, venture capitalists have discovered this. They are far more likely to fund your project if you have had a series of failures. As the Harvard Business Review wrote in “The Value of Failure”: “Many venture capital firms look for entrepreneurial leaders with a failed start-up or two under their belt, for the lessons learned. Indeed, a hot business strategy these days is ‘intelligent fast failure.’”

Or as the song says: “Birds don’t just fly, they fall down and get up. Nobody learns without getting it wrong.”

What is the standard of successful and unsuccessful choices? In a world without institutions and feedback mechanisms, we wouldn’t have one. If the light switches in that dark room of uncertainly didn’t actually function to illuminate the spaces, we would have no way of knowing. Fortunately, in a market economy, we have prices as the key indicators, the building blocks of a system of accounting that reveals profit and loss. And herein we find the signaling mechanism to provide the critical information we need.

Anything that disables or distorts that signaling system represents a vital threat to the capacity of our experiences to yield actionable results. Without prices that reflect market realities, we are left with guessing whether our actions are successful or unsuccessful. It is as if the bird is suddenly disabled in its capacity to know whether it is flying or sitting on the ground. That bird no longer possesses the personal capacity for learning.

Ceaseless Change

At some point, the bird analogy breaks down, because the bird only has one task and one skill to master in pursuing its goal. Humankind faces an ever-changing environment, multifarious and competing goals, and must master an ever-changing range of skills.

On the way toward gaining ever-greater expertise in certain tasks, an individual can refine intuitions and judgements. You can find yourself further along the path toward achieving the goal. But the fundamental fact of the future’s uncertainty is ubiquitous and inalterable. The possibility of further failure must become part of the expectation for all action.

As Shakira’s sings: “Though I’m on the lead, I wanna try everything, I wanna try even though I could fail.”

Even the most experienced entrepreneur can fail at the next stage, and the best among them are profoundly aware of that.

In this sense, there is no such thing as “market power” that guarantees that the world will work the way the entrepreneur imagines that it should. A great example is the nearly defunct web browser, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. It was so dominant that the government attempted to break up its supposed monopoly. Far from being unassailably secure, the browser stopped innovating and eventually died at the hands of hungrier and more innovative competition.

The lesson here is that the definition of success is always backward-looking but cannot determine the future.

“I’ll keep on making new mistakes,” sings Shakira. “I’ll keep on trying every day.”

But in the course of this trying, this ceaseless quest for success, we find that we do make progress. And this becomes a source of joy for us, more so than if we had merely followed a preset path with an infallible map laid before us.

“Look at how far you’ve come, you filled your heart with love,” says the song. And yet, in the future, we could indeed “come last.”

Failure is possible, even probable. Still, there’s tomorrow.

Society’s Direction Is Uncertain

On the social level, no one knows for sure “what’s next,” because the structure of the social order builds up in an unpredictable way. Our own individual uncertainty about the path forward is socially shared to make for a world that is similarly groping its way toward ever more successful paths.

In the words of Enlightenment era philosopher Adam Ferguson: “Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future.” It is precisely for this reason that he concluded that societies cannot be designed to conform precisely to what we desire, but rather emerge as the product of individual actions.

Once you come to terms with the uncertainties of the emergent order, you are left with the profound injunction to “try everything” to find the way forward. This realization inculcates certain habits of mind. One no longer seeks to know all the answers or feels despair in the face of the consciousness that one does not have them. The mature mind is at peace with not knowing, because it has the confidence of knowing that the answer is discoverable and that time and imagination can cause the answer to reveal itself.

A good example is modeled in the work habits of Don Draper, the advertising genius in the television show Mad Men. He is aware of the incompleteness of his knowledge and goes to bed each night with a sense of discomfort (but not despair!) in not knowing. Often a stray remark from one of his colleagues the next day will trigger an epiphany, and the next ad campaign in his brilliant career is born. The source of value in his life is not that he knows but rather that he is determined to seek and test new insights as they occur to him along the way.

But what kind of society do we need in order to maximize the potential of this form of spontaneous development of individuals and societies? A society hobbled by preset agendas emanating from fixed regulations and laws presume the opposite of a trial-and-error society. They indulge the illusion of knowledge, the myth of certainty, the fantasy that a static order with known solutions can be forced on everyone.

The Anarchism of Shakira

Here we find the core failing of much of 20th century politics and social policy. The state attempted to forge a society with a point rather than permit the process of discovery to take its own course. The planning elite attempted to impose what F.A. Hayek (following Michael Oakeshott) has called a “teleocratic” order: a society with a defined end state designed by intellectuals operating outside the social process. This is in contrast to a “nomocratic” order that provides broad rules for behavior and otherwise defers to the learning process of innovation and individual action.

In a nomocratic order, there is no end state, no precise form that we imagined history is driving toward, and thus do we find meaning to the words of the song: “I won’t give up, no I won’t give in, Till I reach the end. And then I’ll start again.”

Hayek further elaborates on why a society based on the principle of “try everything” is nothing to regret; it creates an opportunity for the emergence of an ever-more beautiful world:

It is through the mutually ad­justed efforts of many people that more knowledge is utilized than any one individual possesses or than it is possible to synthesize intellectually; and it is through such utilization of dispersed knowledge that achievements are made possible, greater than any single mind can foresee. It is be­cause freedom means the renun­ciation of direct control of in­dividual efforts that a free society can make use of so much more knowledge than the mind of the wisest ruler could comprehend.

Thus do we see how a catchy pop song reveals core truths about the world around us: more grounded in reality than what has been taught by all the social sciences studies at the best universities for the last 100 years. Pop music, by seeking connection to people’s intuitions about their real lives, as measured by playlists and profitability, can embody a brilliance that eludes the most highly trained philosophical minds.

Texas Refuses to Answer Cruz Question

/in , , , /by

It is no secret that Ted Cruz is not eligible for the Oval Office. What remains a secret to many, is why the Republican Party is allowing known frauds to appear on the Republican presidential ballot.

In a letter dated March 10, 2016 and received by the Texas Secretary of State on March 15, 2016, The North American Law Center asking the following question –

“In light of the attached official citizenship records for Sen. Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz in Alberta Canada, dated December 22, 1970 (attached) and a document confirming the renunciation of his Canadian citizenship dated May 14, 2014 (attached), is it your official opinion as the Chief Elections Officer for Texas that U.S. Senator Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz was in fact a legal citizen of Canada in November of 2012, when he ran for, was elected and certified by the Texas Secretary of State as the new U.S. Senator representing the good people of Texas, as a legal citizen of Canada?”

As of today, March 29, 2016, Texas Secretary of State has declined to respond to this one simple question with only one possible honest answer…. YES

The official Canadian document accepting and affirming Sen. Ted Cruz’s wish to renounce his Canadian citizenship documents two very important facts…

  1. Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz became a legal citizen of Canada on December 22, 1970, the day he was born in Alberta, Ontario, Canada.
  2. Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz remained a legally documented citizen of Canada until Canada accepted his request to terminate or “renounce” his legal citizenship in Canada on May 14, 2014.

This means that Sen. Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz was indeed a “legal citizen of Canada” when he sought a seat in the U.S. Senate in 2012 and accepted that sworn office in January of 2013. It also means that Sen. Ted Cruz defrauded Texas voters in 2012 by never disclosing this fact and not allowing Texas voters to decide whether or not they wanted a Canadian citizen to represent them in the U.S. Senate.

Today, the GOP race is looking more like a shootout at the OK Corral than a political primary process. At present, two out of seventeen GOP contenders remain in the race, Trump with 739 delegates (61.4%) and Cruz with 465 delegates (38.6%).

I find it very interesting that Cruz supporters claim that Ted is “the only one who can beat Hillary” when Ted can’t even beat Trump. I also find it very interesting that Cruz supporters claim to be “constitutionalists” who support our nation’s best “constitutionalist” – a man who was a legal citizen of Canada at birth, and remained a legal citizen of Canada until May 14, 2014, a direct violation of the U.S. Constitution regarding Oval Office eligibility.

The documented facts surrounding the legal citizenship of Ted Cruz create a serious problem not only for the Cruz presidential campaign, but for his seat in the U.S. Senate as well.

One document alone sinks the Cruz ship… the official Canadian document accepting Senator Cruz’s request to renounce his legal citizenship in Canada. On that document, it states that Ted Cruz became a legal citizen of Canada on December 22, 1970, his date of birth, and during a time when Canada did not allow any “dual citizenship.” It also states that Ted Cruz remained a legal citizen of Canada until he officially renounced on May 14, 2014.

This document alone proves that Ted Cruz was NOT a citizen of the United States at birth, much less a “natural born Citizen” of the United States, that he was NOT a “dual citizen” at birth and that he was indeed a legal citizen of Canada in 2012, when he misled Texas voters in his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Texas voters had no idea that Ted was a legal citizen of Canada in 2012… they were misled by Ted.

In December of 2013, North American Law Center asked Ted to do the right thing in a letter. A letter which Ted Cruz has never responded to…

In March of 2015, I wrote about a Republican Party official from Texas who heard Ted Cruz state face-to-face, that neither he nor Barack Obama are eligible for the Oval Office. The name of the witness remains protected still today, due to concerns over vicious backlashes against his family from blind Cruz loyalists.

Interviewer: “Hello Mr. Cruz, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is (redacted). I am a (redacted) County GOP Precinct Chair and you have my support and vote. I have one question for you if I may?”

Cruz: “Sure, go ahead.”

Interviewer: “What is your understanding of how one becomes a natural born Citizen?”

Cruz: “Two citizen parents and born on the soil.”

Interviewer: “Not exactly, but as I don’t have enough time to fully explain how one does become an natural born Citizen, based on your understanding, would you agree that Barack Obama is ineligible to be POTUS?”

Cruz: “I would agree.”

Interviewer: “So when we get you elected, will you expose him for the usurping fraud he is?”

Cruz: “No, my main focus will be on repealing Obamacare.”

Interviewer: “But Mr. Cruz, if he is exposed as the usurping fraud he is, everything he has done will become null and void. Everything!”

Interviewer: “At that point, Cruz reiterated his main concern, so it was obvious the conversation was over as far as Cruz was concerned. I thanked him for his time and wished him success in the runoff.”

People have written asking about this witness numerous times since. The above dialogue is held by North American Law Center in the form of a sworn affidavit. The witness is willing to go public only when Texas, a court or congress has opened an investigation on Cruz lies and fraud. Until then, they wish to remain anonymous with good reason. I have witnessed the vicious nature of Cruz supporters myself, many times now.

Because Cruz defrauded Texas in 2012 and is currently defrauding the nation in his presidential campaign, collecting millions in a fraudulent bid for the Oval Office, we do not expect to ever receive any answer at all from the Texas Secretary of State. If we do, I will issue an update to this column immediately.

Clearly, the effort to defraud American voters reaches far beyond any one candidate. Rubio was also an ineligible fraud, as were Bobby Jindal and Barack Obama. The current endorsements of Cruz by Republican Party insiders like Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Greg Abbott and Lindsey Graham confirms what many of us already knew… Ted is a Republican Party insider and a chosen fraud intended to forever eliminate the “natural born Citizen” (NBC) clause in Article II.

Take a look at all of the Republican Party insiders who now support Cruz, a known fraud from Canada masquerading as a legal U.S. citizen with no U.S. citizenship papers whatsoever. For a single American conservative to believe that Ted is anything but a Party shill, here to finish off the NBC requirement for the Oval Office requires that American to own stock in tin foil hat theories. You’d have to not only believe in the existence of alien life forms, but illegal alien eligibility as well.

The statement that “Ted Cruz is NOT a legal U.S. citizen at all” is a matter of documented fact. But many Cruz fans remain unimpressed by any facts. This is largely due to the fact that many Cruz supporters are blind loyalists who believe Ted is a “chosen messiah” anointed by God to save our country, in accordance with the dominionism doctrines of Ted’s religious beliefs. Many evangelicals, who are not subscribers to the dominionism cult, have fallen for Ted just because they seek a leader who wears his Christianity on his sleeve.

Ted Cruz isn’t “anti-establishment.” Ted is a constitutionally ineligible establishment shill now openly supported by a laundry list of Republican Establishment stooges. Former Tea Party darlings like Mark Levin and Glenn Beck have lost nearly half of their listening audience by openly supporting a known fraud, Cruz. Republican Party media groups like World Net Daily, Newsmax and American Thinker are tanking with the Cruz ship Oh Canada.

Carl Gallops and Mike Zullo discussed the Cruz and Obama fraud in a recent radio interview…

Bottom line… Both parties are in deep trouble in 2016. The DNC is running two Marxists, one a criminal and the other a total crackpot… And the RNC is trying to pass off a known fraud from Canada for U.S. Commander-in-Chief.

Contrary to Cruz supporter rhetoric, none of this has anything to do with Trump. All of it is about Cruz and his habit of lying and defrauding the people. All of this is about the Republican establishment working in concert with the Democratic Party to End the American Presidency.

If you are offended by the facts… you are on the wrong side of the truth.

Divergent: The Crucifixion of Christianity by Islam [+Videos]

/in , , /by

I am a fan of the Divergent film series. The Divergent series is based on the Divergent novels by the American author Veronica Roth. The films show a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on “human virtues.”

The series focuses on those forms of governance that control the people for the greater good. It is about power. The power to control, the power to enslave and the power to create fear.

The power of human virtues were displayed this past week in black and white. The differences between Christianity and Islam are stark and undeniable. While Pope Francis was delivering his Easter ‘Urbi et Orbi‘ message, the Islamic State was busily crucifying Christians, slaughtering non-believers and Muslims alike.

What a stark contrast in human virtues.

One religion, Christianity, praying for the protection of those oppressed, the other, Islam, oppressing those who do not fully embrace it.

Robert Royal in his column “Belgium and ‘Our Values’” writes:

Anyone acquainted with history knows that it’s [Muslim attacks on Christianity] happened before. Once robust Roman and Christian North Africa, the birthplace of Clement of Alexandria and Origen, Sts. Cyprian and Augustine, Felicity and Perpetua, lacking a strong secular state after the fall of the Western Empire, disappeared under Muslim assault. Except for their moral and intellectual achievements, in today’s North Africa those great figures might as well never have existed.

[ … ]

[President] Obama often says that ISIS [the Islamic State] isn’t an “existential” threat. By that, he may mean that terrorists and their armies are, for now, too small to conquer or destroy us. But there are many ways to be destroyed – and one of them is by undermining those very “values” the president thinks are “right.” Sometimes the undermining comes, unintentionally, from the very people who think they are defending them.

Other nations may explain their values as they will. We Americas know – or used to – whence they come: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that men have been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

To better understand how truly divergent Christianity is from Islam please watch the following videos. One of Pope Francis delivering the Easter message, the second of the Islamic State delivering its Easter message:

Pope Francis delivering the Easter Urbi et Orbi on March 27th, 2016:

Islamic State video released in the wake of the attack on Brussels on March 22nd, 2016:

How can Trump win the progressive elites over to his side? By switching to a Royal British accent. This way, exactly the same words and phrases will begin to sound much more profound, distinguished, and presidential.

According to this video, he has already made a few test runs, with smashing success. Tally-ho, old boy!

A Lesson from Europe is Not Learned [+Video]

/in , , , , /by

History is the mother of all sciences, and even a short history of the two main religions opens our insight to the nature of today’s reality—we are at war! To win this war or any war, you must identify your enemy and know his nature. The Obama foreign policy hasn’t recognized this simple premise and the devastating results are what we are witnessing today. The FBI Director is right: The Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL Daesh) is more dangerous than Al-Qaeda. I would widen the narrative: we are in a long and bloody war from attacks of 9/11/2001 to Paris, and Brussels. The West has given the enemy ample time to develop its long-range strategy—that evidence is plainly before us to see. ISIS indeed represents an existential threat to Western civilization, because it is a unified force of Soviet Fascism and Islamism.

A Short History of Two Religions

The current dispute of whether we are in a clash of civilizations is an integral part of today’s politics. Yes, is the short, direct answer. To give a comprehensive answer takes us to world history again. The largest religions in the world are Christianity and Islam; they developed from completely different roots, and then took different paths to get to where they are today. Judeo-Christian religions were not free of violence during the Middle Ages as they began to see God’s plan of salvation differently. However, a reformation movement in the Catholic Church has been going on constantly since. Dissidents have been free to pursue their ideas without the threat of violence.

Despite some violence in Europe in the 13th century, Western civilization (Christianity) gave the world the Magna Carta in 1215. In the year 2015 humanity commemorated 800 years of the Magna Carta—the cornerstone of Western civilization. America is a child of the Magna Carta. A brilliant constellation of individuals we call Our Founding Fathers created an exceptional political system and the government we call the United States of America.

Islam has never gone through a process of reformation since the days of Mohammed in the 7th century. Islam still sees the world the world as Mohammed did, and will use any means available to bring it into submission to his teachings. No reforms have been put into place to curb the violent path it is on. Therefore, we are the witnesses of a clash of deeply ingrained cultures and it is very hard to find peaceful coexistence under these circumstances. Yet, there are two other factors not discussed by anybody. Current Muslim leaders like President of Egypt al-Sissi, who liquidated the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is now calling for the reformation of Islam. He is supported by many other Muslims. Yet, there is the second factor—a long-term Soviet/Russian infiltration.

WATCH: This Muslim leader just came to Donald Trump’s defense in a way that shocked everyone:

Imam Nidal Alsayyed of Beaumont, Texas, said the government should go even further than Trump’s proposal and establish a ban on accepting Syrian refugees of any religion. He said those actions are necessary “when it comes to peace and safety.”

These words didn’t shock me, I am in a total agreement with Imam Alsayyed, but there is a caveat, I mentioned before. America’s tragedy is that our President belongs to the opposite camp of thinkers and has shared his ideology with Vladimir Putin and the Castro’s brothers. The opinion of Imam Alsayyed ought to be known to the world, he and President of Egypt el-Sissi think alike and that is the sign of hope for the West! Both of these Muslim leaders are right—there is great confusion among the religious and the secular, thus the current predicament in the world clearly reflects it. Imam Alayyed is right:

“I believe there is a great confusion and lack of understating nationally and among Muslims themselves for what Mr. Trump is calling for. Refugees in general have no clear identity or belief. They are seeking shelter and opportunity; but America cannot take this risk NOW!” he said. Alsayyed said banning Syrian refugees of all religions might prove eye-opening. “My advice to Trump is to stop differentiating among Christian vs. Muslim refugees; only because he may get surprised to see all refugees claiming to be Christians!” he wrote and elaborated on his comments via Facebook. “I only said what I believe is right. Trump is not against American Muslims; He is against any new Muslim immigrants (refugees and non-refugees)! There is a big difference here!” he wrote.

Look at this statistics: The number or Mosques proliferated in the United States.

Alabama (35)  Alaska (5)  Arizona (32)  Arkansas (15) California (246)
Colorado (19)  Connecticut (39) Delaware (9)  District of Columbia (11)  Florida (120)

Vermont (1)  Virginia (66) Washington (37)  West Virginia (7) Wisconsin (27)
Wyoming (4)

The Russian connection

I’d like to remind you the words of the KGB General Pacepa to illustrate my second factor: “According to Andropov… the Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch. Terrorism and violence against Israel and her master, American Zionism, would flow naturally from the Muslims’ religious fervor, Andropov sermonized.” You can see for yourself  in 2016.

Imam Alsayyed is hinting on my second factor—Soviet/Russian long-term infiltration. To grasp the Imam’s idea, we have to turn to history of Stalinism again, If we analyze the goals of Communism and Islam, we will find that exact common agenda—domination of the world by all cost. The first Soviet leader who noticed and saw the benefits of that unity for Communism was Joseph Stalin. Brought up within the Muslim culture and getting the assignment to be an organizer of the Marxist groups in the Caucuses, Stalin had traveled the area, including the Northern part of Iran. The idea to use Islam in the fight against Western civilization was crystalized then in his earlier political career.

A violent mixture of Soviet Fascism and Muslim Jihad was initiated and established by Stalin much later. The end of WWII had brought a notorious Muslim Brotherhood from Berlin to Moscow. It was time when Stalin’s old idea of infiltrating Islam came true. As we know today “the Soviet Union hastened to set up points of liaison in the East; and in so doing, Stalin, just before his death, invited Amin al-Husseini (d. 1973), the Mufti of Jerusalem and friend of Hitler, to Moscow.”[2] Adding the description of the Muslim Brotherhood Part 1: The Genesis of Euro-Islamic Racism by Hans-Peter Raddatz

For your information, the Muslim culture was the main factor in the creation of the violent system we called Soviet Socialism. That exact system was brought to radicalize the Middle East by the Soviets during 1950-1990s. Since then Islam has been infiltrated, politicized, and equipped with the Soviet long-term strategy of war against Western civilization. The Muslim Brotherhood was established as an Islamic Politburo, the beginning spark in generating Extreme Muslim Jihad.

Arafat was the first molding of a Soviet style leader; he was recruited by the KGB in 1957, followed by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Bin-Laden, Abu al-Zarqawi, Anwar al- Awlaki, and finally al- Baghdadi. The logical chain of the leaders in space and time leads you to other terrorist groups. Hamas, Boko Haram, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, are just some of the many other names under the Soviet/Russian supervision, and finally to ISIS, which has required special research to prove the truth of what was said above.

If we continue to research the ISIS nature, we will find that it is a final creation of the Russian Stalinist Intel in 2009-2010. The foundation of the terrorist state is its leadership. The field commanders of ISIS consist of many former Soviet trained operatives: They are former Sunni Saddam Hussein’s secret service members, trained by the Soviets, former Soviet citizens from the Muslim republics (Turkmens, Chechens, and others), who were trained by Russian Intel. Like Hamas and Hezbollah, they all have an immediate connections with Russian military and intelligence. When you are talking about the solidarity of these dictators, it is the same solidarity of the current terrorist groups and ISIS leadership with Moscow. There is no surprise for me about a very effective ISIS propaganda online—the Soviet actors of 1970-80s have returned to their dirty profession in ISIS.

The conclusion is clear—ISIS is an amalgamation of a totalitarian Stalinism and Islamism, adhered to the ideology of Soviet Fascism, fighting Western civilization. The confirmation is the attack of 9/11, Paris, Brussels, and many others ahead of us. This is a result of Islam, which is missing thirteen centuries of developments and reforms. For your information: Russia has a visa waver, granted by the Obama administration. Just watch for the Soviet/Russian dirty tricks around the globe, described by me earlier—the Democrats working in cahoots with the Andropov agenda, inciting protests against the Republican candidates and fighting the First Amendment, the corner stone of Western civilization…

Welcome to the World of the Bernie Sanders Liberal

/in , , , , /by

A Bernie Sanders Liberal is anti-God, intellectually dishonest, unprincipled, mentally immature, and in search of a world without moral consequence all for about $15 an hour plus tax.

There is no God in their mind and the Bernie Sanders Liberal worships THE STATE and demands that Christians do too.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal attempts to use the statist government to eliminate all moral consequences for their immoral behavior.

In the name of “Social Justice,” the Bernie Sanders Liberal attempts to make individuals a collective of the State.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal imagines that all freedoms are gained with no moral consequences for their actions all secured by a collectivist, totalitarian state.

The single moral principle that Bernie Sanders Liberals adhere to is the continual accumulation and centralization of all power as was the case in the former Soviet Union.

The enemy of the Bernie Sanders Liberal is the U.S. Constitution and specifically the support for rugged individualism which is evident in the Bill of Rights.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal believes that abortion is necessary to guarantee sexual freedom and eliminate moral consequence and we the tax payer must fund this slaughter of unborn Americans.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal creates an atmosphere of crisis and fear that is used to justify their collectivist oppression. For example: Moveon.org, Black Lives Matter. The Black Panther Party.

The Liberals in our past history took pleasure in going to war against other nations for it is during this time they are most successful in getting tyrannical legislation passed in Congress.

In 1990 we invaded Iraq without any constitutional reason. We put US ground troops into a Suni – Shia Civil war. Result. War on Terror, loss of World Trade Center, Patriot Act, Biometric ID’s. etc. etc. etc. Trillions of dollars wasted.

Bernie Sanders Liberals want to completely control and dominate public schools, child abuse agencies, pediatric associations, welfare departments, social service agencies and all NGO’s that feign concern for the welfare of children.

This allows Liberals to impose socialism upon a people, they must undermine the ability of the people to govern themselves according to God’s moral law.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal mission is to weaken the main support of morality. Strong families are one of the greatest threats to the final goals of Liberalism. and ultimately Communism.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal applauds the imprisoning of home-schooling parents who dare to raise their children outside the control of collectivist public schools.

Bernie Sanders Liberals despise the private ownership of guns and the 2nd Amendment is the single greatest symbol of individual power against them, and therefore is despised by them. The 2nd Amendment is the only thing keeping us free at this time in our history.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal despises national sovereignty because the best protection of individual freedoms is found in small decentralized governments.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal promotes the growth of multi-national and international governments such as the European Union and the United Nations.

These organizations advance the cause of socialism. These tax payer funded Communist – Muslim organizations seek to destroy the very individualism that is best protected by sovereign states.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal seeks total control over all forms of media such as newspapers, print media and the satellite and cable networks.

Did you know that the George Soros stock holdings company in New York manages Direct TV stock. ? Arabs control a large portion of Fox News stock…………

Bernie Sanders Liberals want to get control of the Internet because they fear that more people will start thinking for themselves and demand limited decentralized governments in nations around the world.

Obama has tried for 7 years to censure the Drudge Report and other Internet news outlets free of New World Order censorship using the FCC as his weapon of choice.

The Eighth Commandment, states “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” which presupposes the right of individuals to own private property. The Eighth Commandment is therefore the foundation of Western Capitalism and the engine of our prosperity. Agreed? Think about it.

For this reason Bernie Sanders Liberals hate the Bible.

If Liberals are successful at transforming America into a totally multi-cultural, i.e., multi-religious, non-Christian society, we will lose our freedom. Donald Trump will put in place a team that will stop them.

The New World Order supporters in the GOPe should spend more time trying to stop Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton not Mr. Trump. What does that tell you about the GOPe?

The Bernie Sanders Liberal seeks to criminalize any speech that promotes morality or individualism as “hate speech.”

Thus we see Liberal Judges and Liberal Courts outlawing the Bible and gutting the free speech provisions of the first amendment of the constitution. We see the Ten Commandments being removed from court houses.

Liberal Judges are now declaring that the Bible’s proscriptions against homosexuality are illegal “hate speech” and scripture is now in the process of being outlawed from any appearance in public discourse or the public square.

You may recall a police officer arresting a man for reading from the Bible on a public sidewalk in California.

The Bernie Sanders Liberals team up with the Environmentalists and lie as a matter of course.

They create a false god too of the state where the environmental extremist worships “the creation,” rather than the Creator.

The Bible teaches that “Man was created in the image of God.” Thus human life is profoundly sacred and highly valued far above that of any animal or wilderness or wetland.

I see these Bernie Sanders tree huggers as “Watermelon” Environmental Extremists that have no right to tell a man how to use his own private property unless it can be proven that the owner is doing damage to his neighbors property.

A “Watermelon Environmentalist” is a person who is GREEN on the outside and claim to care about the environment, but they are COMMUNIST RED on the inside and do not really care about the environment. at all.

The Al Gore’s and the George Soros Communists are just using the moral cause of preserving the environment as a means of consolidating their power and advancing the cause of Socialism and One World Government.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal wants to replace a Godly world-view with an emotional statist world-view.

A Bernie Sanders Liberal will protest that it is perfectly ok for them to steal your money via confiscatory taxes, forcibly collected to support they unconstitutional welfare programs against your will and give it to persons that may not deserve it.

A Bernie Sanders Liberal typically chooses a career in a field that produces nothing of value. A Liberal will look for employment in field such an “activist,” lawyer, or a bureaucrat in a tax free foundation or an NGO devoted to advancing Liberal goals or a Community Advisor.

Then the Bernie Sanders Liberal will use government to extract wealth from others by force via the power to tax.

The Bernie Sanders Liberal do-gooder programs enrich Liberals and do little to actually help the poor.

Bernie Sanders Liberals are perfectly willing to destroy you financially, remove your children, and imprison you for what you believe.

Bernie Sanders Liberals are not open-minded and tolerant. They are viciously intolerant of any divergence from the left-wing ideology determine good and evil for all mankind, apart from and without respect to Almighty God.

Bernie Sanders Liberals fear technology and change – because neither can be centrally controlled. Thus we get people like Ted Kasinsky the Una Bomber.

Bernie Sanders Liberals know that a man of sterling character and discipline who is a moral, God fearing family man has no need of state support in the form of welfare programs.

Bernie Sanders Liberals know that such a man is a dedicated and formidable enemy of those who are determined to foist socialism upon the nations of the world.

Bernie Sanders Liberals despise marriage and family because they say they are “patriarchal institutions” that oppress. women and children.

The real reason they despise marriage and family values is because these institutions oppose, disapprove and limit promiscuity thus undermining one of the principal supports for Liberalism.

Bernie Sanders Liberals are never satisfied with the power they have gained over the lives of individuals.

They are compelled and internally driven to control every thought and detail of human activity until they create a slave camp, under the heel of a socialist bureaucratic boot otherwise known as One World Government.

Bernie Sanders Liberals want to control public schools and force all children into them, in order to foster promiscuity and instill collectivist ideology into their minds.

When a Bernie Sanders Liberal expresses concern “for our children,” they are using and targeting children to expand their own power, promote promiscuity, advance collectivism and enlarge their personal income at the expense of the taxpayer.

ALL Liberals in our government are elitists who have exempt themselves from the oppressive rules they impose on the general population. For example Obama-Romney Care. Social Security Taxes etc.

Bernie Sanders Liberals embrace Agenda 21 and they are actively working towards a return to a centralized, 1940’s urban environment.

They would have us all ride a bus from a small, dirty, big city apartment to an 8-5 union job as it was in the old USSR or a bullet train that costs billions of dollars to ride us 200 miles and never gets up to full speed.

Perhaps now you will understand why Liberals support every form of “public transportation” whether buses or subways.

Its time to remove these people from local, state and federal govt. starting with the Santa Rosa County Commissioners in the panhandle of Florida. YOUR FIRED !

Bernie Sanders Liberals believe that anyone who makes money must be stealing it from someone else.

Bernie Sanders Liberals do not understand that in a free market, wealth is created and is constantly expanding.

Bernie Sanders Liberals do not understand the simple dictum that “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Bernie Sanders Liberals do not understand that the free market lifts the economic conditions of all Americans.

Bernie Sanders Liberals do not understand that it is the creativity, ingenuity and hard work of the self-made millionaire’s who created better products or a better service and thus a better life for all mankind. Millionaires love the Senior Chief because I ask nothing from them only knowledge.

Bernie Sanders Liberals claim to be against violence, but make excuses for Liberals like Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Castro who murdered and tortured political dissidents. Now we add the government of Venezuela to that list.

Bernie Sanders Liberals claim to be against violence, but they try daily through legislation to disarm individuals and render them powerless against the Muslim vermin terrorists, thugs, thieves and murderer’s who rule the inner cities.

Just as the Mayor of Los Angeles did a few weeks before the Muslim vermin attacked San Bernardino.

Liberals only oppose violence when it fits their agenda, but they are perfectly willing to use violence to advance theirs.

For example the arming of the IRS and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to allow the federal forces to control state lands and oppress the free market use of said land.

The execution of Mr. Finicum the rancher was an act of murder by federal forces shutting down a threat to their unconstutional control of state land. Obama was embarrassed. I believe he ordered the HIT. Just my opinion.

Bernie Sanders Liberals have enormous compassion for criminal predators and child molesters and murders and rapists, but none for the victims.

In the Bernie Sanders Liberal world, all problems stem from individualism, and all solutions are collective and believe that passing religious values to children is a form of child abuse.

Ladies and gentleman we have a choice to make in November 2016.

Do want to be free under a capitalist system adhering to the U.S. Constitution? Or do we want to be Bernie Sanders Communist slaves with a boot on our neck?

Hillary can vote absentee from jail…..if not in 2016 in 2017 when Mr. Donald Trump is elected president of the United States and will make this nation great again.

Good night America I’ve got your back.

Not much longer folks and some Communist behind is about to be kicked.

Personal Character Conquers Another Welfare-State Tragedy

/in , , /by

On a fateful day he’ll never forget, 18-year-old Lawrence (“Larry”) Cooper, an unmarried black man and high school dropout, found himself on the wrong side of the law. He attempted an armed robbery of a store in downtown Savannah, Georgia. It was April 1987. The cash involved? A mere $80, enough to finance his cocaine habit for less than a day. Larry was caught and sent to a maximum-security prison.

One month after Larry’s arrest, his son was born. The boy wouldn’t see his father outside of a cell until November 2015, when his dad was finally released.

“I wasn’t there to even sign the birth certificate,” Larry told me just a month ago.

These lamentable chapters of the Larry Cooper story are distressingly familiar in America.

Today, incarcerated black American males number about 750,000. That’s more than the entire prison populations of India, Argentina, Canada, Lebanon, Japan, Germany, Finland, Israel, and England combined. In August 2013, a report from the Sentencing Project on Racial Disparities in the United States Criminal Justice System revealed that “one of every three black American males born today can expect to go to prison in his lifetime.”

The leading cause of incarceration of black males is nonviolent drug offenses. This is no accident. As President Richard Nixon’s domestic-policy adviser and Watergate co-conspirator John Ehrlichman revealed in a 1994 interview,

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.

The next leading causes are false accusations, then crimes against persons, followed by crimes against property. Economist Thomas Sowell argues convincingly, as do many others, that the genuinely criminal behavior — the violations of person and property — have much less to do with racism and poverty than they have to do with the debilitating, family-busting policies of the welfare state. (And it doesn’t help that poor, inner-city families are often trapped in lousy government schools.) Sowell observes,

Murder rates among black males were going down — repeat, down — during the much lamented 1950s, while [they] went up after the much celebrated 1960s, reaching levels more than double what they had been before. Most black children were raised in two-parent families prior to the 1960s. But today the great majority of black children are raised in one-parent families. Such trends are not unique to blacks, nor even to the United States. The welfare state has led to remarkably similar trends among the white underclass in England over the same period.… You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.

Larry Cooper was one of the statistics, a prime candidate for exhibit A in this national tragedy. But today, he’s well on his way to a life of honor and redemption. Perhaps the jury on him is still out, but I’m betting he’s a hero in the making.

Growing up in Savannah in the 1970s and ‘80s, Larry faced the challenges posed by a broken family.

“My dad had 33 kids with six or seven women,” he informed me in a February 2016 interview over breakfast.

“Mom and Dad separated early, so Dad just wasn’t around. I saw him maybe twice a year.”

As a teenager, Larry started skipping school, stealing, smoking marijuana, and then doing cocaine.

“I dropped out of school when I was 16 and it broke my mama’s heart,” he said. His mother implored him to find employment so he took a landscaping job that lasted only a week before he was in the streets again.

Hanging out with the wrong people, trapped in a vicious circle of using drugs and stealing what he could to afford more — and with only a brokenhearted mother at home to offer any hope at all — Larry was headed for destruction. His poor choices caught up with him two years later with a 10-year sentence for armed robbery. But things would get much worse before they would get better.

Bad behavior, including aggravated assault, earned Larry additional prison time — a grand total of 28 years. He went in at age 18 and emerged at 47. It will be another decade before he can say he’s been a free man for as long as he wasn’t.

“Over the years while behind bars,” Larry says, “I thought more and more about what my mama had told me. She said this would happen if I didn’t straighten up. She prayed hard for me, all the time. She visited me as much as she could. I still remember how bad I felt when she once came to see me but was turned away because I was ‘in the hole’ for bad things I done. But she never gave up on me.”

I asked Larry what the low point of his time in prison was. I expected it might have been a run-in with a guard or another inmate, an ugly incident of short duration.

His answer: “Seven years in solitary confinement.”

“Seven years?” I exclaimed.

“Yes, and every day it was the same: one hour out in the yard, 15 minutes in the shower, and then 22 hours and 45 minutes in solitary,” he replied. “At first, I was in despair. But then I started reading and then writing to folks, exercising in my cell and thinking hard about what had happened to me and what was going on in my life. It took those long hours by myself to make me come to my senses and start feeling bad about the people I stole from, all the friends and family I had hurt. Things mama told me finally started to have an effect on me.”

Larry’s mother arranged his baptism when he was a child, but he never made time to read more than a few words of the Bible — or anything else, for that matter. A prison chaplain introduced him to a Bible study course conducted by mail. Larry enrolled and completed it.

“That’s when my life really began to change,” he told me. “Ever since that course, I’ve been a different man. I’ve settled down. I use my brain now. I’m no longer the man I used to be.”

Larry’s personal and spiritual recovery were well underway before I’d ever heard of him. His reading had brought him into contact with ideas of political and economic liberty. He wrote my former place of employment in Michigan, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, asking for more information. My old colleagues there forwarded his letter on to me at FEE, and that began a correspondence that now fills two shoeboxes on a shelf in my home office.

Never before had I contemplated developing a friendship with a man in prison. I wouldn’t know how to begin. If Larry hadn’t taken the initiative to contact me, such an undertaking would never have happened. I now count it as a great blessing in my life.

Larry was much more diligent in writing than I was, I confess with some remorse.

“I had more time on my hands than you did,” he jokes.

But I’m pleased to have helped deepen his understanding of liberty by sending him many books and articles.

“Were there any particular things I sent you that made a big impact?”

Without skipping a beat, he replied, “Yes. One was your book, A Republic — If We Can Keep It and the other was What It Means to Be a Libertarian by Charles Murray.” The reader will excuse me, I hope, if I report this with a smile and considerable pride.

Larry and I corresponded but never spoke by phone until after his release. I was looking forward to the day when I could finally drive down to Savannah to spend time with him. Until we met, I didn’t even know what he looked like, but we embraced as if we were brothers.

We dined at the Bonefish Grill on Abercorn Street, then went to see the fantastic film Race about Olympian Jesse Owens. The next morning, we had breakfast, and I recorded the interview with him that this article is based on before visiting the public library on Bull Street so I could show Larry how to create his first email account.

I learned much from Larry during that breakfast interview. For example, he opposes the drug war from a vantage point I’ve never experienced — from inside prison walls where, he says, “drugs are everywhere.” I asked him where they come from.

“All sorts of ways and places,” he said. “Guys out on work detail get ‘em. People throw ‘em over the prison gate. Guards and officers bring ‘em in.”

Larry’s views on current issues are interesting, but his personal transformation is, to me at least, positively captivating. As the well-known expression puts it, “I love it when a plan comes together.” The sad part of it is that Larry’s mother, one of the few anchors in his life, died just three months before he earned his freedom.

“At first I couldn’t believe it,” he recalled. “She was living for the day I would get out, which was the day after Thanksgiving, 2015. It really hit me at Christmas. At my first Christmas dinner as a free man in 28 years, family and old friends got together. Everybody was there but mama. It took me so many years to realize how important your character is. Thanks to mama and my faith, I’m not going to ever let it slip again.”

The Salvation Army in Savannah is generously providing Larry with a place to live and a church to attend on Sundays as he puts his new life together. He’s working two jobs, one with a prestigious catering service and the other with a local staffing firm that places him in short-term stints at manual labor.

He doesn’t want welfare.

“I try to earn every penny I get,” he asserts proudly. He’s both optimistic and excited about his future. He’d love to start a new family.

“I want to prove to myself that I can be a good independent man and make amends for what I did. I take one day at a time, but my spirits are real good.”

After all Larry’s been through and with freedom so new to him, I suppose there’s a chance of a relapse. Surely there will be occasional bumps on his ongoing road of recovery. I hope I’ve encouraged him and can continue to do so.

There are many lessons here: Strong families and good parenting can make all the difference in the world. Building character for navigating the pitfalls of life is a priceless undertaking you’ll likely never regret. Don’t underestimate the value of a mother who never gives up on a wayward son. Through an inner transformation, in this case facilitated by a spiritual renewal, even the seemingly incorrigible can turn his or her life around. Never miss an opportunity to encourage someone who is clearly trying to do the right thing.

I intend to stay in touch with Larry Cooper. I’ll watch his progress and assist with it if and when I can. He’s already taught me a valuable truth: that heroes aren’t always the ones who make the headlines or the history books. They may just be on the other side of a wall.

Students demand ‘chalk free zones’ after Trump 2016 graffiti found at Emory U.

/in , /by

Trump “chalking attacks” are appearing on college campuses across America. It began on the campus of Emory University where “Trump 2016”, “Vote Trump 2016” and “Trump” graffiti was found on buildings, sidewalks and on benches written in chalk on the university campus.

According to the Emory Wheel:

Students protested yesterday at the Emory Administration Building following a series of overnight, apparent pro-Donald Trump for president chalkings throughout campus.

Roughly 40 students gathered shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the outdoors space between the Administration Building and Goodrich C. White Hall; many students carried signs featuring slogans such as “Stop Trump” or “Stop Hate” and an antiphonal chant addressed to University administration, led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad.

Due to the Trump chalking attacks students like Peraza feel threatened and may be suffering from Post Traumatic Chalk Syndrome.

The Emory College Council (CC) and Student Government Association (SGA) sent emails to the Emory community to address student concerns and responses. The emails ask that the administration support creating an Emory University “chalk free zone.” This is similar to the free speech zones created on many college and university campuses to keep hate speech (i.e. any non-collectivist ideas) and bigotry (i.e. discussion of illegal alien students on campus) limited to a 3′ by 3′ area. Chalk free zones are similar to the “no-go zones” created by Muslim communities to stop Islamophobia.

In the joint email sent on behalf of CC and SGA, representatives wrote that they “remain unapologetically dedicated to inclusion, diversity and equity.” Which by definition excludes the leading Republican candidate for president Donald J. Trump.

The NAACP issued the following statement:

We are concerned that the chalk used in these attacks is white.

Clearly the person or persons responsible are racists and we consider these ‘Trump chalkings’ hate speech. We have asked the Department of Justice and FBI to open an investigation into this and other chalking attacks. These Trump chalking attacks must be stopped, or else.

We consider chalking a new form of lynching. We must stop those responsible in the name of inclusion, diversity and equity.

The NAACP supports students in their efforts to make Emory University a chalk free zone.

We must not judge a person by the color of their skin but rather by the color of the chalk they use.

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the largest manufacturing association in the United States representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states, in a press release noted:

Chalk makers are concerned that they will be targeted by anti-Trump, George Soros funded, organizations such as Black Lives Matter, La Raza and MoveOn.org. We are already receiving calls from some of the 55 chalk makers and 195 distributors of chalk products of threatening letters, phone calls and emails.

One caller stated, ‘Stop selling chalk or you will pay the price for fomenting violence. The chalk stains are on your hands!’

We have also received letters containing a white power, believed to be Calcium Carbonate (a.k.a. chalk). We understand that several members of the Trump family have received envelopes containing white powder as well.

The Donald Trump for President campaign noted:

Chalk and chalk boards have been used by teachers and college professors since their invention.

We believe that the use of chalk is free speech covered by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. While we feel the pain of those students at Emory University who are suffering from Post Traumatic Chalk Syndrome (PTCS), however, we must protect freedom of speech on our college campuses.

Mr. Trump has offered to provide free counseling services to Sophomore Jonathan Peraza at Emory University, as soon as he invites Mr. Trump to speak there.

The Keep Chalk on College Campuses (KCCC) free speech movement in a short statement said, “Chalk U!”
