Economic Recover: 100% Fake

Posted on 25/04/2011 | Leave a comment

post by Robert Wiedemer, MoneyNews.com

That’s right. The recovery is a fake. It is completely a result of massive increases in government borrowing. The cheerleaders like to tell you that the economy has rebounded. We had government stimulus earlier, but now animal spirits have taken over and it is running on its own. Hah! The recovery is only stimulus.

Let’s look at the numbers—In 2007, the GDP was $14.0 trillion. In 2010, the GDP was $14.6 trillion. That’s a net increase of $600 billion—$600 billion in 3 years is not good, but it is a rebound that is at least slightly above inflation.

However, let’s compare that to the increase in government borrowing.
  • In 2007, the U.S. government borrowed and spent $163 billion.
  • In 2010, the U.S. government borrowed and spent almost $1.4 trillion.

That’s a net increase of over $1.2 trillion. The entire increase in our GDP can be attributed to the increase in government spending. In fact, the increase in government spending is almost two times the increase in our GDP. That means the economy is doing very poorly indeed. Without massive increases in government borrowing and spending, there would be no recovery at all.

As a final note of how much the U.S. government has increased its borrowing and spending, in February 2011 alone we borrowed and spent $222 billion. That’s almost 40 percent more than in all of 2007.

The Value of Leadership

Posted on 06/04/2011 | Leave a comment

Karen, you have inspired me to write this challenge and essay on leadership this morning. Once I started I couldn’t stop. Keep those posts coming; once read they do make a difference. Thanks and keep the faith. Dan Morris

[I have inspired you? Wow! I think that may be the other way around. It's clear to see that inspiration has a domino affect. This essay is very inspiring. Thanks so much for writing it down and sending it. k]

The value of leadership—

Like a blinding flash of lightning on a dark night we sometimes experience an epiphany that compels us to sit and write about something we think is important. That’s what happened to me as I skimmed through some of Karen’s writing. There are many issues that can motivate and drive us to act and leadership is one that sometimes passes us by unnoticed. We always talk and write about leadership in terms of result instead of method.

Without strong and moral leadership our world stumbles and falters; often leading us to disappointment, failure and disaster. So, what is this force that we need so badly when times are rough? Well, the idea of positive leadership is that it brings about or affirms the capacity of people like you and me to move, inspire, and mobilize us to act cohesively in pursuit of an end. In other words, leadership is the art of getting people to do something they would not do on their own. In reality, leadership can serve good or evil purposes.

Mankind acts with a free will so ultimately, as individual human beings, we can choose to make a difference for others. Leadership, properly used, inspires teamwork and a sense of accomplishment. Under strong leadership, corporations stay solvent, governments govern wisely, and armies keep us safe. Where would Christianity be if Christ† had been unable to lead? God† chose well when He† selected Christ†.

If you don’t think that individual leaders can make a difference, then let me cite a few examples and plant some seeds of thought for your consideration. What if the following leaders had never surfaced? In December 1931, Mario Constasino was driving his car on Park Ave., New York City between 76th and 77th Streets. It was dark, around 10:30 P.M. His car struck a pedestrian who was looking in the wrong direction. By some miraculous fate the man was not killed. He was a British politician by the name of Winston Churchill. How would WWII have turned out without him? Fourteen months later, an American politician was riding in an open car in Miami, Florida. A man by the name of Giuseppe Zangara shot at the politician missing him and killing the man sitting next to him. The politician was Franklin Roosevelt. These were two strong leaders who led two great nations during WWII.

There is a flip side to the above examples that addresses the question about good and bad leaders. Would we have even needed the above great leaders if Adolf Hitler had been killed in 1923 while participating in the street fighting during the Munich Putsch? For that matter would we have needed the strength of Churchill and Roosevelt if Lenin had died of typhus during WWI? The art of leadership plays no favorites when it comes to good and evil.

When it comes to our country we need to look no closer than our beginning during our Revolutionary War. At first, George Washington only reluctantly gave up farming in Virginia to lead the Continental Army. His leadership skills were tested under the harshest conditions at Valley Forge. The question is—when does the formerly unnoticeable person make the decision to lead? It could be as simple as taking the lead to avoid an unacceptable end result. We have to care first before getting involved.

My examples have been lofty with national and international ramifications. Allow me to add some clarity here. Leadership is not a calling for only leaders of nations. Leadership is needed at all levels if it is to achieve a desired result. Generals do not lead squads up a hill to take out enemy machine guns. Team, squad, and platoon leaders get this done through exercising great leadership. I think you get it; leadership is important at all levels for all interests to be successful. Results are always a matter of risk plus effort. I learned a lot about leadership as I worked my way up to Sergeant First Class in the infantry. My leadership challenges did not end there as I then climbed the warrant officer ranks, and then the ranks of government service. The same principles always applied.

One of a leader’s jobs is to make it easy for people to do the right thing and to make it hard to do the wrong thing. So, a leader has to know what he or she is talking about. This is the area where we have to know the difference between management and leadership. Simply; we manage things and lead people. This is a lesson that our President and Commander-in-Chief has never learned. We should always lead by example with a clearly defined purpose. This isn’t rocket science, but, it is a skill. This all sounds nice, but, where do we begin? Why do we even bother to begin?

First, let’s look at stamina and ability. Next, we will need clarity of purpose. As a conservative and Constitutionalist, I know where I stand on most political issues. I’m an old, tattered, and worn leader. Sadly and unfortunately, there are days when I can see my physical stamina waning. The things that make me a valuable asset are that I have a mind and quite a bit of experience. I have been told that I can give sage-quality advice. There are people who would probably question that assessment. Notwithstanding, I will do my best to make a difference; especially when it comes to serving my country. I have served my country in some capacity since I was 17 years old.

My challenge to anyone that reads this message is simply this—get involved in the political process. There are way too many out there who are aggressively involved for, what I see, as the wrong reasons. Yes, there are people at all levels of government that are intent on altering everything our founding fathers created, fought for, and died for. If a person’s moral and political compass is off, then they will never get to the right destination. We desperately need conservative leaders that share our morals and core values at all levels of government. Check out your local political apparatus for opportunities to serve. Run for office if you can. Every time I go to vote, I see liberals running unopposed on the ballot because no one wants to get involved. Don’t be naïve and trust that things will just work out; you will ultimately pay the consequences for not acting. Compete for offices at the local city/town, parish/county, and State levels. It doesn’t matter if you win; just have your voice heard. Remember, the political process is where you transform your passion on the issues into action.

I want to end on an unusual note. When it comes to my cause, any cause, you need more than good leaders for gaining ground and resolving critical issues. You also need good followers. When you go out into your communities, you may find that there are already good leaders stepping up to the plate. Become one of their soldiers, a staunch follower and supporter. We need to take the fight to the liberal base and either alter their course or stop them in their tracks. Every campaign needs workers. All causes, liberal or conservative, use strategies to achieve goals. All strategies have strengths and weaknesses. To make a difference, all you have to do is disrupt their strengths and exploit their weaknesses.

Liberals are always targeting our youth; bombarding them with false claims of social, cultural and economic injustices. Liberals twist facts that we have a duty to expose and straighten out. This is why we have to bring our youth into the fold because they will ultimately inherit whatever we have left of our country, perhaps even our entire world. We need to capitalize on the strength and stamina of our youth. Civically, they need to learn those things that our liberal educators are omitting from our history. If all of us are not involved in some aspect of the political process then we are handing our county over to those who want to destroy it. Either become a leader or support someone that represents your values. If you have true grit and the intestinal fortitude to save America—then get involved.

Winston Churchill said—“I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I have inspired the nation. It was the nation and the race dwelling all around the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.”

Another Impeachable Offense Ignored

Posted on 05/04/2011 | Leave a comment

post from Liberty Counsel Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Apr. 1, 2011

Tens of thousands of American patriots have joined you in signing the Defend the Constitution Declaration. We want to hand deliver thousands more of these Demand Letters from the American People as soon as possible, but I need your help. Please read my following update, then copy the message and forward it on to 10-20 like-minded patriots. We must stop the subversion of our Constitution.

I know that we are like-minded in the direction the puppet administration is taking our country. Yesterday, Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) told CNS News that the puppet did not have constitutional authority to use military force in Libya without congressional approval. When asked if the President’s action is an impeachable offense, Rangel said that Congress would have to make that decision. However, he added that he would “like to believe” members of Congress will closely examine the issue. Unfortunately, Congress is unlikely to seriously look into the issue. It is not politically “expedient” to hold the puppet accountable while his party holds a majority in the United States Senate.

[Is this representing the best interest of the country as a whole or merely the best interest of those in POWER? Don't we elect these individuals to represent our best interest and those of the United States of America? Are we going to continue to let this man abuse our country as HE sees fit? Are we going to continue to let him make US a mockery for the benefit of HIS people?]

Nonetheless, we have the puppet’s and Vice President Biden’s own words in statements calling this type of action unconstitutional when THEY were attacking former President George W. Bush!

There is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the puppet White House. The puppet behaves as though he is somehow above the law! This administration seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!

[Or could it be that he is getting away with advancing his cause as a Moslem? I mean...he DID write about how he REALLY felt in a book before he even ran for office; and like Hitler, it went unnoticed! After all, isn't what he's doing indeed advancing the cause of Islam? Has the Arab world spread its money so much around America that they have literally bought AMERICA? I mean look at Donald Trump who sold American soil to an American Hater (and then bragged about how much money he's made in that ONE transaction instead of thinking about how much DAMAGE he's done to our American foundation—how selfish can one be?), and now says he's going to run for president! What hogwash! How much more of this BS do we have to put up with?]

The puppet administration presumes it is bigger than the presidency. No man is bigger than the office he is elected to hold. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no office holder would be more empowered than the Constitution allowed.

[But those of us trying to defend and protect our country are called grassroot radicals, conservative radicals! It's amazing. I've been defending my position on facebook all morning long. Why am I having to do this? Why has America come down to this? Is it maybe because these Moslem people, who have moved into America in droves, have used their psychology on us so well that Americans don't even realize what they are doing? I mean look around: they are in stores, schools, governments. Take a poll and just see how many Moslems are teaching your children in American universities and claiming to be peaceful to the point of arguing about it. They are in your heads and you can't even tell the difference, but, as they wish, you are bashing your own fellow country men and taking their side without even a thought. They have found a way to completely turn Americans against each other and none of you are seeing it for what it is.

I mean think about it. America has a history of racial issues, and we've come a long way to fix our wrong. This is a personal issue for all Americans, but it has ALWAYS been our problem, our personal black mark. Do you not think those who want to destroy us haven't been paying attention? What better way to cause chaos and get one of their own into our government and leader of the United States of America which would be their golden spike to bring her down, then finding a "black" man to be their puppet! Take a close look at his past history, who he has associated with, what type of experience he's had, what is his voting record, take a good hard look at his speeches, watch his movements as he gives those speeches, watch the "glamor" shows he's put on, go back and write down all his promises to the people, then jot down everything he's done since he's been in office.

Hell, he almost had me convinced. I watched him on Oprah and he stated that he would stop importing foreign cars and he would whole-heartedly rally for American workers. He said he would drill and make America self sufficient again. What has he done: he didn't help the American farmers, he stopped new drilling all together in America but is giving tones of American dollars for Brazil to drill, he's given money to Hamas (terrorist group who hates America), had a Mexican president address congress speaking against one of HIS own States, he's refuse to defend one of HIS own States (remember he took the oath, swearing to defend his country and States), he's gone around the globe criticizing the very country he'd swore an oath to DEFEND, he bailed out banks with tax-payer money, he constantly criticized a former President, he told the world the secrets we used to get information from terrorist and all together halted any information-getting technique we used, top secret information has been leaked out (they blame an internet site!) but this happened after a number of Moslems were hired given top-secret clearance only to be later discovered that they LIED on their applications, he's gone around the world calling a nation founded on Christian values NOT Christian, he rushed a health bill through congress pretty much threatening them (a bill that dictates when you shall die and how, legitimizing abortion, etc), he formed a Council of Governors to keep an eye on "Americans", he called conservatives "gun carrying radicals", he tried to start a race war, he overtook private companies telling them what they can and cannot do, do I have to go own.

He should immediately be impeached by the whole of CONGRESS. The hell with party...he's destroying our country. Then we won't have a need for party! Is that what everyone wants? How about Islam taking over the country (remember their country has been riddled with warfare for so long that they can't drink their own water and there's hardly any grass to grow food...they WANT this country)? How would you feel if some Islamic person along with a truck load of gun-carrying friends decide he likes your land and tells you to leave, or hell, knowing Islam, they would just kill you and any sons you have and take your daughters as their slaves and use them as they see fit and when they get tired of them, they'd just kill them? That's what you are up against! Tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.]

The puppet’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with him in Congress, the administration, the federal bureaucracy, State offices, and any other position of public trust must also be held accountable. Liberty Counsel is continuing to demand that elected officials (all of them!) live up to their Oaths of Office—or be FIRED, RECALLED, or IMPEACHED. If you also believe that we, the American People, should demand the proper use of constitutional authority, accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law—in short, to defend the Constitution of the United States—then you should immediately sign our Defend the Constitution Declaration!

Click here to read and sign the Defend the Constitution Declaration. When you sign our Defend the Constitution Declaration, we will hand deliver your mandate—along with those of many tens of thousands of your fellow concerned Americans—to your Representative, Senators, and other key congressional leaders. We will also publish your views to government bureaucrats, the media, and anywhere else it is strategically advantageous. I believe we can (and in these circumstances, MUST) immediately deliver 100,000 signed copies of this important Declaration to those who need to be reminded that there are limits on their power!

Get your FREE copy of the Second Edition of our Patriot’s Handbook for signing our Defend the Constitution Declaration. Liberty Counsel’s Patriot’s Handbook of American Liberty is a valuable reference guide that every American should have among his or her personal belongings, and the newly revised edition is even more useful than the original. EVERY citizen should have quick access to the fundamental laws and framework of our nation. The Handbook contains the two great bulwarks of American liberty, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America, with an invaluable, easy to use index. It also includes a special essay I have written for modern-day patriots like you. I entrust this Handbook to you in the hope that you will Defend the Constitution in accordance with the timeless principles it contains. We are hearing from men and women across the nation that want their children and grandchildren to also have a copy of this valuable reference tool.  When your copy arrives, you will have an opportunity to order as many additional copies as you wish!

Israel’s Deteriorating International Situation

Posted on 05/04/2011 | 2 Comments

post from email from Chuck April 3.

[Remember the Islamic belief about their "12th." They have to destroy Israel and the United States first! Well...what is happening? From where I sit, it appears that the puppet is also going to help destroy Israel. That should tell you all that you need to know. That should answer all your questions about who this man REALLY is. If congress was so opposed to the puppet siding against Israel and siding with the enemy instead, then it seems like congress would have begun an impeachment trail already, after all, the Constitution says that if a president of the United States sides with its enemies then he is "unfit" to be an American president and should be impeached immediately. What's wrong with this picture? Are the families of congress being threatened? Why aren't they taking the action required to protect our country? Revolution anyone?]

The Lord† speaking to Abraham, the father of Israel— …And I will bless those who bless you and the one who curses you I will curse… (Genesis 12:3). The U.S. will be in serious trouble if it continues down this track.

There is an Israeli joke that when someone sneezes in the Golan someone in Jerusalem says “Gesundheit.” As a small sovereign state Israel is (more so than larger states) especially susceptible  to trends in the international community. Even large states like South Africa cannot ignore the will of the international community, when the community is largely united against its actions. Israel’s international position has entered the danger zone because operationally it has lost the steady and predictable support of the United States and Europe. A recent example of this new, disturbing state of affairs came when Europe voted to condemn Israeli actions at the Security Council and the United States publicly agreed with the anti-Israel sentiment while casting a veto.

Since that ominous vote, Israel’s former allies have joined the United States in launching a new international order that threatens Israel’s sovereignty to determine its security and national needs. In the last few weeks the President of the United States has made it abundantly clear that a peace deal with the Palestinians continues to be a top priority and that Israel is the sole impediment to a deal. Meanwhile, the office of the United Nation’s Secretary General has publicly referred to Jerusalem as occupied territory.

To understand what is likely to happen, given this mindset and other international developments one must appreciate the monumental political shifts that are occurring in the political community. The intervention in Libya, led by Israel’s former allies, is being justified as necessary because of largely unsubstantiated human rights violations that may have happened without a No Fly Zone and the support of the anti-Israel Arab League. The other day the Arab League participated in London as a full-fledged partner of the United states, Britain, etc. in one the largest international meetings in decades. The President of the United States and the Secretary of State continuously base the justification for their military action on the support of the thugs in the Arab League. This is an ominous development.

The legitimization of this new international order that is prepared to use military force to force its will can and probably will be directed against Israel. Every member of the coalition believes that Israel is a serial and daily abuser of the human rights of the Palestinians. And unlike their cautious reactions to the murder of innocents in Arab/Moslem states—Syria, Bahrain, Iran, etc.—this new coalition of Israel’s former allies is not reticent about voicing their differences with Israel and with issuing threats to change, what they consider to be an  unacceptable situation.

Between now and the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in September look for stepped up pressure on Israel to accede to all the demands of Palestinians. Israel will be alone as the UK, France, Germany, and the United States do the dirty work for Abbas and Hamas. It is illuminating that this coalition is not deterred that the rebels in Libya have Al-Qaeda connections. What Israel wants and needs will be irrelevant (even small wishes such as acknowledging Israel as a Jewish State will continue to be off the table.)  Israel’s security will supposedly be guaranteed by some NATO force.

This gang up against Israel is attractive to the leaders of the West because they believe it is justified and they believe it will help counter opposition to their fighting Moslems in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. None of the Palestinian demands against Israel will be seen as illegitimate. Which will include forcing Israel to recognize and deal with Hamas and to come to terms with some form of division of Jerusalem, which will likely lead to a large United Nations presence in the Old City. If Israel opposes this initiative look for  the West to lead in the recognition of a Palestinian State at the UN in September.

What Should Israel Do? Trying to compromise with the Palestinians has failed and will continue to fail given the understandable belief among the Palestinians that they are far stronger than Israel in the international community. Trying to mollify the puppet and Clinton has failed and will continue to fail. Israel’s friends in Congress cannot change the puppet’s course without grassroots political support. Leading Democrats who interceded on Israel’s behalf in the campaign to get a veto in the Security Council resolution condemning Israel said they were shocked by the hostility of the administration toward Israel (they did not know if a veto would be cast until it actually happened) and one said that if the puppet is reelected Israel will be in serious trouble.

Israel needs to implement a strategy of standing up to the puppet administration, it needs to engage the American public that is strongly pro-Israel and is not enthusiastic about the new interventionist puppet doctrine. With less than 50% of Americans supporting action in Libya against Qaddafi you can be certain that a large majority can be counted on to oppose the puppet’s manhandling of  Israel, but Israel needs to lead the charge by standing up for itself. While the puppet feels he can bring peace by placating radical Islam, the American people believe that we are at war with radical Islam. For decades they were certain that Israel was a valuable ally in this war.  Turning the defense of Israel (in the context of being important to American security) into a potent  political force in the United States is possible and must be undertaken immediately. If successful, this campaign can become a political force that will modify the puppet’s behavior  toward Israel and turn into a potent political force in the 2012 election. At this time, the puppet feels that he will pay no political price for siding with America’s Islamic enemies.

Continuing along the current course will be a disaster  for the State of Israel. A change of course needs to happen very soon.

[The following was a reply to Chucks email.]

Chuck, I am in total agreement with the author. Unfortunately, as a nation, we have become so disengaged the vast majority of us do not even see it for what it is. The “Helen Thomas” episode where our (supposed) “Free Media” was largely invisible and/or impotent serves as a very good example of our own ignorance of history and potential for even greater negative geo-political scenarios exploding across the globe. What troubles me is that I am normally a half-full kind of guy, and this article makes me feel (bad choice of word) half-empty. I seriously wonder where our “exceptionalism” has gone today. What do you think…just a tidbit of strategic leadership? Thanks, Jim

Middle East: Death To America

Posted on 05/04/2011 | Leave a comment

This was posted on youtube on April 4, 2011. Glenn Beck, as well as myself, just can’t comprehend what’s wrong with our country. Remember when Americans decided they were going to Purify Americans and decided burning books that they felt our children shouldn’t read was the best way to solve the problem. Still today there are books on a black list. Have you ever read the Turner Diaries? The government completely blacklisted that book. The only way you could it was from some underground source. That was in the 1960s! It seems that our laws of Free Speech are caught in bit of a ruffle! Those preachers had every right—according to the United States Constitution—to burn those books (quan). They have the right to burn it any time they want.

No one has ANY right to tell them they can’t! Harry Reid can’t LOOK into it because he has no grounds to do it. If these preaches have to face any kind of authority, then we NO longer have freedom of free speech in this country.

 

Here it is. How many of you are going to stand for this?

 

Small Point—I found pictures posted on the internet of replicas of OUR Constitution in the garbage can on a street not far from the White House. So, if people are throwing away replicas of our most important documents, then what makes a Moslem bible more important. Them killing innocent people because of this, shows how unstable they really are. They say us Southern people are too inner bred….It seems these people beat us by a mile stone!

Islam: A Peaceful Religion

Posted on 05/04/2011 | Leave a comment

post found on The Religion of Peace

[What this web site is about follows this brief insight into Islam's "Peaceful Religion."]

Last week brought a sober reminder that every religion has its extremists, as Christian radicals burned one copy of the Quran (and Moslems radicals attacked a half-dozen churches, burned dozens of Bibles, and slaughtered 321 people in 26 terror attacks in just 7 days).

Islam‘s Latest Contributions to Peace—”Mohammed is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” Quran 48:29

  • 2011.04.04 (Lower Dir, Pakistan)—A suicide bomber detonates at a bazaar, sending eight souls to Allah.
  • 2011.04.04 (Jenin, Pal. Auth.)—A Israeli-Arab activist is gunned down by Islamic radicals unhappy with the secular character of his work.
  • 2011.04.04 (Faryab, Afghanistan)—Two U.S. soldiers are shot and killed by a terrorist in police uniform whom they were training.
  • 2011.04.03 (Bogoro, Nigeria)—A Moslem mob, angered over rumor of a local Quran desecration storms a Christian village and kills two people.
  • 2011.04.03 (Maguindanao, Philippines)—Moro Islamists ambush a group of villagers with automatic weapons, taking down eleven.
  • 2011.04.03 (Mosul, Iraq)—Islamists fire a rocket into a house, killing a woman.

[I stumbled across this website when reading blogs from a group keeping tabs on organizations against Christians. This is an interesting site, which proves my assumptions about Islam and Moslems to be correct. If you watched the videos on here from Glenn Beck and others who talk about this "12th" prophet and what it means to the Moslems, then you can understand the importance of such a site as this one; that's why I have included a link to it. If you haven't watched these videos, I advise you to do so. These people are serious about their beliefs. But you must understand that they are killers. I've been answering comments all morning long trying to explain MY position when it comes to adhering to American laws, our Constitution and what IS a Conservative. I actually feel a bit stupid having to education my fellow Americans on this because they should already know this stuff. But, it's amazing how many do not. The following information was taken from their homepage. I borrowed this information to include here so you can get an idea of what their site is about and maybe give you the incentive to visit them. What I've posted above is not even half of what these people are doing all in the name of God†!! (The words in red and the change of spelling of Moslem (the original spelling of the word) is my own doing.)]

TheReligionofPeace.com is a pluralistic, non-partisan site concerned with Islam’s true political and religious teachings according to its own texts. We present the threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom, and document the violence that ensues as a direct consequence of this religion’s supremacist teachings. We are not associated with any organization. We do not promote any religion, but we are not hostile to religion.  We support the rights of atheists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, homosexuals, woman, Moslems and anyone else on the planet to live as they wish without violating the rights of others.

We strongly condemn any attempt to harm or harass any Moslem anywhere in the world because of their religion. Every human being is entitled to be treated as an individual and judged only by his or her own words and deeds. We also denounce any act of vandalism against mosques or other property, including juvenile attempts to offend Moslems by desecrating the Quran. (The best way of discrediting the Quran is to tell non-Moslems what it actually says about them). At the same time, we see no use in pretending that Islam is just another religion—which always seems to be the assumption of those who prefer not to look too closely.

In fact, Islam is dreadfully unique—

  • What other religion’s most devoted members videotape themselves cutting people’s throats while screaming praises to their god?
  • What other faith has tens of thousands of terrorists across the globe united by an explicit commitment to advance the cause of their religion by pursuing horrific mass murder and mutilation?
  • What other religion has clerics lauded as ‘moderates’, ‘bridge-builders’, and advocates of ‘peace and tolerance’ who, at best cannot even bring themselves to condemn suicide bombers or denounce Islamist terror organizations, or at worst actually support the terrorism, along with wife-beating, female genital mutilation and the justified killing of apostates and homosexuals?
  • What other religion kills innocent people over cartoons and teddy bears, and murders humanitarian workers of other faiths who are merely trying to help them?
  • What other religion actually celebrated the 9/11 attacks, described the carnage as “one of the miracles of the Quran” and proclaimed it to be “God’s† work against oppressors”?
  • What other religion childishly brags about its growth while at the same time openly denies other religions equal opportunity to evangelize and even endorses killing those who leave?
  • What other religion has prominent PR organizations and charities so closely tied to terrorism—organizations like CAIR, which whine about dress codes and rubber ducks in the West while ignoring the Jihad genocide of thousands in Darfur?
  • What other religion has verses in its holy book that remind men of their divine permission to beat their wives and rape their slaves?

Hope for America in March 2011?

Posted on 31/03/2011 | Leave a comment

post by David Zanotti President & CEO, The American Policy Roundtable

The week we just spent in Washington was remarkable. After thirty years, those words are hard to believe. Year after year we have traveled to the nation’s Capitol only to return home mostly discouraged by the darkness. This week was very different. We were fortunate to meet with ten members of Congress, most of them brand new to office. Yes, we talked about a lot of issues, all of them important. Even more important were the questions we kept on the table in every meeting—

  • “Is this town, bigger than God†?”
  • “Is the 15 trillion dollar debt bigger than God† can handle?”
  • “Is there anything too hard for the Lord†—if we can but trust in Him again?”

The members we met with are not in Congress for power or prestige. We found instead leaders on a mission to serve. Most of them sense a calling from God† to come to the aid of this nation. They are missional Christians committed to making a difference. For them, principle comes before party or power.

Here is another interesting discovery: In almost every office we found copies of books that we have been reading, teaching from and giving out to people for 30 years. Some of those bookshelves looked like the reading list from Roundtable’s American Mission course.

These members and so many more are living proof that the message of Free Agents is real and it works. These folks did not get into office by playing the party game. They didn’t wait for permission from the establishment to run for office. They all struck out on their own and reached out to their local communities. They are talking to everyone, democrats, republicans and independents. They get it and they are making a tremendous impact on the spiritual atmosphere of Congress. Many of these difference makers travel home every weekend. They are in Bible† studies and prayer meetings every week. Their staffs are normal-looking people, well dressed and polite. K-Street lobbyists look weird sitting in their waiting rooms. This is way different and incredibly encouraging. In the next few weeks you will be hearing from Congressmen Bill Johnson, Lt. Colonel Allen West, and Daniel Webster on The Public Square®. These three members represent some of the toughest races fought in the country. We can’t wait for you to hear their remarks. More will follow.

Just today we were reporting on these meetings to a group in Tennessee. One couple told us of a plan they have implemented to reach their community. Every month they each prayerfully seek out five people who seem truly interested in what is happening in America. They ask each person if they would like to read a copy of Free Agents and talk about how positive change can happen. They give them the book and then prayerfully follow up. So far they have impacted dozens of couples with this encouraging message of hope. They are developing an army of Free Agents one conversation at a time. When I asked them why they are sticking to this task so faithfully they responded—“Because every single person matters in this battle. We have to help people understand we all count.”

Remember our strategy here?

First, we are praying for all those in authority. There is no question the prayers of so many in the 40 Days of Prayer for Congress are having a serious impact. This is not magic. It is obedience to the commands of the Scriptures. So many have been praying again this year for every seat held in the Capitol and every person there. We could feel those prayers as we moved through the hallways. This is the big picture.

Next, we are not talking to elected officials as a special interest group. Roundtable and Freedom Forum are on the ground where they live. Together we are working to help networks of people unite in the common cause of recovering Liberty. Here are just a few examples of what that work on the ground looks like. Two weeks ago, the Ohio team held a blockbuster policy briefing in Columbus to talk about the national health care takeover. Six attendees were doctors, including our own Dr. Chuck McGowen who made a presentation on how we can improve health care in America without a federal takeover.

Newly elected Ohio Attorney General, Mike DeWine, sent his chief litigator on the national health care lawsuit to the briefing. He gave the crowd a full update on what we all can expect in the 27-state challenge to the nationalized take over plan. The fight over the national takeover plan is far from over. There is serious opposition in the states where legislative remedies are being attempted. Ohio, Florida, Tennessee and 24 other states are also seriously fighting this plan in federal Court. Many allies on Capitol Hill are working to claw back funding for this plan and hold it at bay through 2012 and the next election process. Stay tuned.

The collective bargaining battles that have broken out across the country are bitter, ugly and scary. The rage of mobs at the Statehouse is deeply troubling. Many organizations have hidden under the covers on this issue. Together, we have chosen to enter the debate in the hope of finding a pathway back to first principles. Instead of running from this controversy, we sent a team right into the heart of the union protests to learn more and open this story to the nation. At the same time we have a team working at the Statehouse, dissecting over 200 pages of legislative remedies.

The majority of people don’t yet have the history or the facts on this issue. When you log on to aproundtable.org you will find a whole section dedicated to collective bargaining and unions. The recent Public Square® broadcast, Was Jesus† A Union Carpenter? was the most listened to program of the year to date.

Florida, Tennessee and several other states are now wrestling with the threat of radical Islam. This was one of the questions we asked Florida Congressman Lt. Colonel Allen West. He spent 22 years in the U.S. Army leading men into battle against terrorism on the front lines. His interview will be airing this month coast to coast on The Public Square®. You’ll find times, stations, podcasts, and streaming audio downloads all at aproundtable.org. In addition, we are continuing efforts to raise funds for a series of policy briefings on this incredibly important issue.

There is a pattern here—a pattern that leads to hope.

Sure, all of this is hard work and it costs real time and money. The team that ran the Washington outreach and the Columbus briefing worked 12-16 hour days and traveled hard. They flew in from Ohio, Tennessee, and Illinois and got home exhausted. But they went to bed smiling. Regardless of the pressure, the opposition, the flight delays and broadcast deadlines there is a real sense that we are not alone. There is a history we have all inherited here—a history of hope. On March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry rose to speak in the assembly gathered at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia. Henry was deeply wracked with grief over the recent loss of his beloved wife. In the midst of such deep sorrow, he spoke to the crisis facing the colonies with these words—

Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God†! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Very few believed the war for Liberty could be won in March of 1775. No one could see victory without the profound attending help of Almighty God†. As the War for Independence unfolded, the Founders discovered over and again that their only hope and greatest Friend was found in Heaven†. Thus they moved forward in faith against insurmountable odds.

The challenges we face today are far too large to be won by cleverness, protests or political slogans. America cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different outcomes. Real leaders are beginning to step forward and change the atmosphere. Together we all agree—we have no hope without God’s† help. All this progress and so much more bears your fingerprints. If it wasn’t for your faithful prayers and financial support this team could not be moving forward. The books on those Congressional bookshelves came from somewhere. These new leaders on Capitol Hill and in so many statehouses are answers to your prayers. These radio broadcasts and policy briefings cost real money and are bearing fruit because of your faithful, sacrificial giving. Every dollar truly matters. Yes, real reform in America is still a way down this road but we are not alone on this journey. May we all look in the mirror and remember the same question we are asking every leader across this land—“Is anything too hard for the Lord†?” (Genesis 18:14)

Every one counts.
