Removing the Offense of the Cross: The Ineffectualness of Candy Coated Partial Romantic Gospel Appeals - CWN: “Just tell an audience that God is crazy about you; that He doesn’t want to punish you; that the dread Sovereign of the universe is a powerless lover down on one knee begging you to be His bride and has to wait to see if you choose to accept Him; that the whole universe is proposing to you; that He wants you to fall in love with Him; that His law is designed just to make this world a better place; and as you proclaim the gospel to insure the highest success from as many nonbelievers as possible, make sure you don’t speak about repentance from sin; justification by faith; the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ; submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ; don’t ever mention Scripture specifically, open up a Bible and actually read it, or use Bible sounding words; just carry a surfboard against the backdrop of beautiful scenery, walk along a beach and show that you’re a regular guy who can relate by talking about how fast the planet earth revolves around the sun, get all giggly that God created laugher, and make it as comfortable as possible for people to hear some things about the gospel; but don’t ever mention that you must come to the end of yourself–deny yourself; take up your cross and follow Him; don’t ever tell them that God is angry with them and His wrath abides on them; don’t mention Hell (to negative); don’t ever tell them that they have to hate their own lives, their father, mother, brother, sister, son and daughter and love Him more than all other loves or they cannot be His disciple; just reassure them that God loves them just the way they are and wants to give them a better life if they would cry out and say ‘I love You too.’”

Perverts, all of them! - CWN: “Cruisers have a HUGE risk of contracting AIDS, hepatitis A and B, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes simplex, genital warts and many more disturbing conditions. Moreover, the latest STD to strike homosexuals and bisexuals is lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), a variety of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium, which is an “ongoing epidemic with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Europe, the United Kingdom and North America [3].” (If you want to know more about the conditions that may be encountered in homosexual men, go to the link provided at the end of this article [4].) “

American Thinker: Iran’s Big Plans: “Iran, quite simply, seeks regional hegemony and their oft-stated second goal of the utter destruction of Israel, along with every one of its citizens. Iraq is simply the first battleground in a much larger war not only for the Middle East, but for the West as well. Along with this larger war (as has been repeatedly promised by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad himself) a second Holocaust is coming. To all of those who promised ‘never again’: wake up now - it is coming. It has already begun in Iraq, and will only grow from there. It is not too late to stop it; however, if the West does not overcome its complacency in the very near future, then it may not be too long before it is in fact too late. “

Chuck Baldwin — Will Lady Liberty Last Beyond 2010?: “As for me and my house, we promise to never fit in with Bush’s New World Order. I don’t know what that means exactly, but it is a promise.”

Well there you have it. The prophet has spoken. By 2010 we will all be in George Bush’s new world order. Except of course for Chuck Baldwin and a few who think like him. They will be in the outback raiding houses for a baloney sandwich. Chuck says Rev. Mike Huckabee will be on the wrong side because he is naive or weak. Sure he is Chuck, I think Mike would have something to say to you about that remark.

Colonel Chuck Baldwin with his black brigade makes it pretty clear that guns are what is going to keep him out of that “New World Order” What a total dumkoff!

Lets get serious here! There is one planet with people on it. As population, transportation and knowledge increase on the earth people are naturally going to sell their skills to others on this earth for things that they do not have. We see this taking place in every nation on earth. It is obvious that as shipping costs come down we are going to see world trade, regional economic unions and world government to regulate it all. That will take place as clear as day and nothing Chuck Baldwin can do will stop it. There will be world government. Will certain greedy people abuse trade and abuse power, of course. That is human nature. They do at the local level as well.

There is nothing evil in itself about world government. When Jesus comes His Kingdom on earth will be a world government. Yes, we do know from the Bible that one day an evil Antichrist will rule on earth in a world government, but we do not know when that will be and faithful Christians may not even be on earth at that time.

Scripture is clear that the Beast Antichrist cannot rule until the one that is preventing him is taken out of the way and that preventer is not Chuck Baldwin with his armed Black brigade.

End time prophecy says absolutely nothing instructing Christians to oppose world government. It does tell people that an Angel will come telling them not to take the mark of the Beast but the Angel will first make that clear to everyone and not some conspiracy theorist.

There is no reason to think that any world order in the future is out of God’s control. The man of sin is only given permission for 42 months to rule the earth. He does not have the power to take it on his own and he did not have this Beast system in place before that time. Further, he is only given that permission to deceive those on earth who would not believe the truth.

Church Baldwin has departed from preaching the gospel, he is simply preaching rebellion. If Baldwin turned the whole world around to his way of thinking what would the world be like? Would we have a new world order of fringe Baptist Theocracy? Or does Baldwin advocate that everyone should be free to do what is right in their own eyes unless of course they broke the covenant found in his Baptist Church hymnal? Then I guess the stoning would start to rid the world of all the evil doers. Watch that you don’t get hit in the head yourself with one of those stones Chuck, or maybe you did and that is your problem.

It is rather strange that those who want world dominionism by Christians are often also those who oppose any global world order at all. Where do they intend to have their own Christan domain, just in Pensacola, Florida?

Instead of looking for enemies in every world movement why don’t we first oppose the evil in our own communities and in our own lives? We do not have to look for some world order that may or may not turn out to be evil somewhere down the line. The evil present in the world may even come via you if you preach rebellion against authority. Then don’t be surprised either when authority kicks you in the butt.

Your not doing Christians a favor Chuck by embracing conspiracy theories, spreading unfounded fear and bad mouthing all in authority because you yourself believe that some secret demonic cabal is taking over the world. What book, chapter and verse is that found in Chuck? You conspiracy people never get the facts straight if you have any facts at all and you want us to believe that what you say is gospel? You are really spreading hate, gossip, back bitting, half truths etc. You know some of those things you made a covenant not to do. All this can only hinder the gospel of Christ. I pray that Chuck Baldwin will repent and get on more biblical topics.

I do not know why so many supposedly Christian websites are picking up all of Chuck Baldwin’s nonsense, perhaps they also lack discernment or perhaps conspiracy nonsense sells. I also wish some Christians leaders would speak out on this issue.

WorldNetDaily: Like déjà vu all over again: “In 1978, an Israeli politician wrote, ‘The establishment of such a [Palestinian] state means the inflow of combat-ready Palestinian forces (more than 25,800 men under arms) into Judea and Samaria; this force, together with the local youth, will double itself in a short time. It will not be short of weapons or other [military] equipment, and in a short space of time, an infrastructure for waging war will be set up in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. Israel will have problems in preserving day-to-day security, which may drive the country into war or undermine the morale of its citizens. In time of war, the frontiers of the Palestinian state will constitute an excellent staging point for mobile forces to mount attacks on infrastructure installations vital for Israel’s existence, to impede the freedom of action of the Israeli air-force in the skies over Israel, and to cause bloodshed among the population. In areas adjacent to the frontier-line.’

The author’s understanding of the situation 30 years ago made him sound almost prophetic. He outlined, in precise detail, exactly the result of the policies that Peres policies have achieved so far.

But that prophet from 1978 was Shimon Peres himself, writing in his book, ‘Tomorrow is Now.’ Peres should read it. He might learn something. “

WorldNetDaily: Civilian prisons coming soon to U.S. Army base near you: “The regulation specifies ‘the Army’s primary purpose for allowing establishment of prison camps on Army installations is to use the resident nonviolent civilian inmate labor pool to work on the leased portions of the installation.’ The regulations specify Army personnel running the prison camps will prepare an ‘Inmate Labor Plan’ that will comply with 18 U.S.C. 4125(a), governing civilian inmate labor. That section of the U.S. Code allows the U.S. attorney general to make available to the heads of U.S. departments, including the Army, the services of U.S. prisoners to engage in labor, including ‘constructing or repairing roads, cleaning, maintaining and reforesting public lands, building levees and constructing or repairing any other public ways or works financed wholly or in major part by funds appropriated by Congress.’ The regulation currently limits the Army’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program ‘to using inmates from facilities under the control of the Federal Bureau of Prisons,’ noting the bureau ‘provides civilian inmate labor free of charge to the Army.’ “

You are insinuating something in your headline that you do not support in this article. There is nothing wrong with using prisoners to save taxpayer’s money and have them working on US infrastructure. Your mixing apples and oranges to try to insinuate that there is some conspiracy coming to put people in military prison camps. Yet, there is nothing in this article that suggests that. The headline of the article is dishonest and it seems to have been selected to appeal to conspiracy nut cases. With many dumb articles like these what credibility will WND have?

WorldNetDaily: Abbas’ group vows rocket attacks despite amnesty: “‘No matter what happens in negotiations, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades will keep shooting these rockets at the Zionists,’ Abu Lel Muntasser, chief of the Brigades in the southern Gaza Strip, told WND. Muntasser and other Brigades leaders said the past few days they fired a new kind of rocket, called the Al Aqsa 107. They declined to give specifics of the claimed new rocket other than to say it has a larger engine and contains more explosives than rockets previously fired from Gaza. “

Abbas’ Brigades also fired rockets this past Tuesday during a summit between the Palestinian leader and Olmert.
In a gesture to Abbas’ Olmert last month granted amnesty to 178 West Bank-based members of the Brigades, Fatah’s declared military wing which took responsibility along with the Islamic Jihad terror group for every suicide bombing in Israel the past two years.

How to make peace the Israeli way. Make deals with terrorists while they try to kill you.

WorldNetDaily: Hoffa: Mexican trucks are disaster for U.S.: “‘All we’re asking is that Mexican trucks and truckers meet the same standards as American trucks and drivers,’ Hoffa said. He cited the requirements in the United States for commercial drivers’ licenses, drug screening, physical evaluations, hazmat certifications, etc. ‘It’s a whole process to make sure he’s a safe driver,’ he said. But in Mexico, there are no databases of drivers with a history of recklessness and arrest, or even drug testing facilities, he said.

‘And can you believe they’re doing this on Labor Day?’ he said, calling it a slap in the face to American workers.

Also significant is the concern over national security, he said. There isn’t any way to adequately monitor the individual vehicles that will be representing the 100 Mexican trucking corporations expected to be involved in the program, he said. ‘This is kind of a conspiracy of big business,’ Hoffa warned, to create a scenario where there are no minimum wage limits and no requirements for safety. ‘They basically want to erase all the borders. This is big business that wants to be able to run stuff out of Mexico, which is much cheaper, into Canada and into the United States,’ he said. ‘All of this is being greased right now by big business.’ “

How many Mexican’s can you fit in the back of a Semi? I guess we will find out.

WorldNetDaily: Valedictorian sues over Gospel speech: “The law firm said each valedictorian gave a proposed speech to the principal ahead of the graduation. Then during her 30-second message, Corder added some comments about her faith in Jesus.

‘We are all capable of standing firm and expressing our own beliefs, which is why I need to tell you about someone who loves you more than you could ever imagine. He died for you on a cross over 2,000 years ago, yet was resurrected and is living today in heaven. His name is Jesus Christ. If you don’t already know him personally I encourage you to find out more about the sacrifice he made for you so that you now have the opportunity to live in eternity with him.’

After the graduation ceremony, she was escorted to see an assistant principal, who told her she would not get her diploma because of her speech. Principal Brewer said her comments were ‘immature’ and advised her she only would get her diploma if she apologized to the ’school community,’ Liberty Counsel said. “

You Christians in Colorado better start dealing with your anti Christian school administrators and school boards. This girl should get high honors for her Christian maturity. Instead the Principal calls her comments “immature”.

What right does he have to withhold a diploma to anyone if that person passed the courses and earned the diploma? If she did not even attend the graduation ceremony she would still get her diploma. Because he cannot stand the truth he wants to be vindictive against this student. This principal should be removed he is obviously too immature to be in leadership. If he attends a Christian church he should be removed from membership.

WorldNetDaily: Kindergarten cops rule: Witches in, Bibles out: “The Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund has submitted amicus briefs in a lawsuit filed when a kindergarten student, under an assignment in which parents were invited to read their child’s favorite book, was denied permission to have his mother read a Bible story. A decision in U.S. District Court that sided with the school’s decision to ban the Bible reading, while allowing teachers to suggest reading books about ‘witches and Halloween,’ effectively ’sounds the death knell for religious freedom in public schools,’ the ADF argues. “

WorldNetDaily: Israel ‘allowing Muslims to destroy Temple wall’

JERUSALEM – Israel is blocking leading archeologists from surveying massive damage Islamic authorities are accused of causing to what experts believe may be an outer wall of the Second Jewish Temple, WND has learned.
“It is unconscionable that the Israeli government is permitting the Waqf to use heavy equipment to chop away at the most important archeological site in the country without supervision,” prominent, third-generation Temple Mount archeologist Eilat Mazar told WND.
“The Israeli government is actively blocking us from inspecting the site and what may be a monumental find and is doing nothing while the Waqf destroys artifacts at Judaism’s holiest site,” charged Mazar, a professor of Hebrew University and member of the Public Committee for Prevention of the Destruction of Antiquities on Temple Mount

Earlier this month, after bulldozers pulverized a trench 1,300 feet long and about five feet deep, the Muslim diggers came across a wall Israeli archeologists believe may be remains of an area of the Second Jewish Temple known as the woman’s courtyard.
The Antiquities Authority has not halted the dig and has not inspected the site. The Waqf has continued using bulldozers to blast away at the trench containing the wall.
Leading Temple Mount archeologists, including Mazar and Gavriel Barkai, petitioned the Israeli government to immediately halt the dig and allow experts to inspect the emerging wall.
But Mazar and other archeologists say they are being blocked by the Israeli government.

That’s the response you can expect from the atheists that you allow to run your nation. If you Israelis are going to allow the ruins of your holiest site to be bulldozed you can only blame yourself. Whining will get you nowhere. You believers need to take action now and if there are not enough believers in the land to do anything about it perhaps you don’t deserve to be in your land.

When Schools Stray From Real Education - Rob Hood - Aug 30, 07: “A prime example of this horrific and totally absurd indoctrination program by the far left in the American public education system is as follows: Freshmen at a high school in Deerfield, Illinois were required this past school year to attend lectures on sexuality given by homosexual, bisexual, and transgender students. The school officials there, required the students to sign a contract forbidding them to discuss what happened at the lectures to anyone else including their own parents.”

Another example of sheer lunacy:Last year, the California (should have known)State Assembly passed a series of pro-homosexual bills, one of which required all public school textbooks and teaching materials be edited to give only positive references to homosexuality. One more bill authorized a “tolerance education” program that would ban any expression of traditional values and any language expressing a preference for traditional marriage.

“It is up to parents to get a foothold and regain the public school system from liberal organizations who wish to turn our youth into the European utopia that they constantly strive for. it is up to the parents to teach their own children about sexuality, marriage, and the difference from right and wrong before the teachers do it.”

Congressman: Stock Market Will Eventually Collapse: “Paul explained that recent attempts to pump liquidity into the markets are only a temporary fix and that the long-term effects of doing so spell disaster for the economy. ‘The dollar is plunging no matter what you read and hear about and no matter how hard they work to keep the bubble going the only way they can do that is creating more money….causing the dollar to go down even faster, the market seems to be reassured - there’s a contrivance to try to hold this together….but it won’t last, eventually it’s going to collapse,’ said Paul.

The Texas Congressman cited the repeal of the Insurrection Act as opening the door to a declaration of national emergency and martial law which could be instituted for any number of reasons, including civil disobedience in the event of an economic downturn and a run on the banks. “

Ron Paul is correct. The big question is only when it will happen. It could be days or a decade.

The Big Easy’s Billion Dollar Boondoggle - HUMAN EVENTS: “Here’s a pop quiz: How much money has Uncle Sam spent on New Orleans and the Gulf region since Hurricane Katrina ripped the place apart? I’ll give you the answer because you’ll never guess it. The grand total is $127 billion “

“Perhaps all this money should’ve been directly deposited in the bank accounts of the 300,000 people living in New Orleans. All divvied up, that $127 billion would come to $425,000 per person! After thanking Uncle Sam for their sudden windfall, residents could head to Southern California and buy homes that are now on sale thanks to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and bid up the sagging house prices in the state.”

And your government is not through spending.

WorldNetDaily: Should Christianity, politics mix?: “He’s not the only pastor with serious reservations about Christians in politics. Rev. Mel White, the former ghostwriter of the late Jerry Falwell’s autobiography and now an ex-Evangelical, is also deeply troubled by Christians in the public square.

Seaking to RollingStone Magazine, White said: When most people hear… talk about a ‘Christian nation’ they think, ‘Well, that sounds like a good, moral thing.’ What they don’t know… is that ‘Christian nation’ means something else entirely to these dominionist leaders.

White doesn’t reveal what the nature of the dominionist conspiracy is, so I had to do a little investigation of my own. ” (read the article)

This article is not at all honest about Dominion Theology. Any deceptive person can pick just the good apples and place it on top of a basket of rotten apples and sell the whole basket to someone as if it were all good. It was not too long ago that the Catholic Church did exactly that. They had Christian Dominion theology in practice. Remember the Inquisitions that followed?

Who is going to define what the values and practices of Christianity are in your modern new Christian world? The Pope, Baptists, UCC, Mormons, Masons, Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan, the Christian Patriot Movement, Robert Schuller, Oprah’s Secret, Jimmy Carter, Benny Hinn, George Bush, Rodney Howard Brown, Ron Paul, John and Paul White, Ted Haggard, the KKK? Just who did you have in mind?

True Christianity has always been a small segment of even those who identify themselves as Christians. So it this tiny minority in the world now going to make a overwhelmingly evil world conform to biblical law through politics? Get real!

If anyone wants to know more about Dominion Theology they can read my rather long article on the subject.
http://www.thepropheticyears.com/comments/The%20woman%20on%20the%20beast%20in%20end%20time%20prophecy%20has%20dominion%20theology.htm

I for one get tired of reading articles from “American patriots” that wrap their Dominion Theology beliefs in Biblical clothing and then bad mouth those who are carrying out the great commission, God’s way.

They equate a past and future America with the promised land as if somehow we are going to be there by just returning to the US Constitution through politics, force or both. America never was the promised land and it never will be.

DailyTech - Survey: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory: “Of 528 total papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of the consensus. If one considers ‘implicit’ endorsement (accepting the consensus without explicit statement), the figure rises to 45%. However, while only 32 papers (6%) reject the consensus outright, the largest category (48%) are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject the hypothesis. This is no ‘consensus.’ The figures are even more shocking when one remembers the watered-down definition of consensus here. Not only does it not require supporting that man is the ‘primary’ cause of warming, but it doesn’t require any belief or support for ‘catastrophic’ global warming. In fact of all papers published in this period (2004 to February 2007), only a single one makes any reference to climate change leading to catastrophic results. These changing viewpoints represent the advances in climate science over the past decade. “

In spite of what Al Gore keeps spouting there is no consensus

WorldNetDaily: Reno 911: “Not until Bush became president was the media interested in discussing the shortcomings of the attorney general. Whatever flaws Alberto Gonzales has (John Ashcroft has none), we don’t have to go back to the Harding administration to find a worse attorney general. From the phony child abuse cases of the ’80s to the military assault on Americans at Waco, Janet Reno presided over the most egregious attacks on Americans’ basic liberties since the Salem witch trials. These outrageous deprivations of life and liberty were not the work of fanatical right-wing prosecutors, but liberals like Janet Reno. Reno is the sort of wild-eyed zealot trampling on real civil rights that Hillary views as an ideal attorney general, unlike that brute Alberto Gonzales. At least Reno didn’t fire any U.S. attorneys!
Oh wait …
Number of U.S. attorneys fired by Ashcroft: 0
Number of U.S. attorneys fired by Gonzales: 8
Number of U.S. attorneys fired by Reno: 93 “

Top Stories: Pastors call Haggard’s e-mail ‘unacceptable’ haggard, overseers, dream - Gazette.com: “Last week, Haggard, who moved to Phoenix after he was fired by the Colorado Springs megachurch, sent an e-mail to ABC affiliate KRDO about his plans to work in a faith-based halfway house known as the Dream Center. The Dream Center is run by Tommy Barnett, one of Haggard’s spiritual mentors and head of the 15,000-member Phoenix First Assembly of God, which Haggard now attends. Haggard asked for two years of monthly support while he worked and lived in the Dream Center and he and his wife finished earning degrees at the University of Phoenix. The announcement came as a surprise to the overseers and the Dream Center.”

Sounds to me like Ted Haggard is delusional.

Craig Was Nabbed During Sex Sting Operation - Local News Story - KPRC Houston: “Airport police reports obtained by The Associated Press gave strikingly similar accounts of the events that led to the 41 arrests officers made for alleged lewd conduct in public restrooms in the main terminal of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport during the May-August sting.”

The 40 others caught up in the sting, according to the police reports, included airport and airline employees, an account executive with Revlon, an IT consultant for Ernst & Young, a 3M executive and a Lands End employee.
In an incident June 25, Karsnia arrested three men at once.

I guess you heard of the “Mile High Club”. These men are members of the foot tapping “Men’s Stall Club”. You might use your imagination on this one. How do the perverts get from one stall to the other? Or do they meet halfway in between?

Boom of condo crash loudest in Miami — OrlandoSentinel.com: “No one knows how many units speculators bought. But as early as 2004, McCabe and Lew Goodkin of Miami-based Goodkin Consulting warned that up to 70 percent of the condos rising in Miami were being snapped up by people who didn’t plan to hold on to them, much less live in them. That was evident from the hordes who camped overnight, fought over lottery numbers, even paid homeless men $20 and a pack of cigarettes to hold their places in long lines, all for the chance to put 20 percent deposits on condos that existed only in brochures. The frenzy for some projects was so fevered that some developers raised their prices hourly. ‘It was a nightmare. Lines around the corner. People screaming into phones. I would look at them, and think, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing,’ ‘ said Mark Zilbert, president of Zilbert Realty Group.”

You greedy speculators were warned many times but all you saw was making a easy buck. Now you will pay for your greed.

Saggy trouser ban hit by race and liberty row - Telegraph: “Plans to ban low-slung, underwear-exposing trousers have provoked allegations of racism and the restriction of personal freedom after councillors in Atlanta declared it should be the first major city to tackle ‘offensive dressing’.”

Nose rings, belly button rings, tattoos, pants hanging on their knees, inability to speak English, trash talking. None if this would would go on if these kids had real parents.

Beijing police pop up to warn internet users - Telegraph Cartoon police officers are to appear in “pop-up” warnings on the internet every half hour to warn Chinese users that they must steer clear of unapproved websites.

“Officials stress that “Jing” and “Cha”, its two “internet cops” named after the two characters that make up the Chinese word for “police”, are on the look out for criminal activity. “They will be on the watch for websites that incite secession, promote superstition, gambling and fraud,” an official told the China Daily newspaper. “Secession” refers to support for an independent Tibet or Taiwan.

A second official said it was important to wipe out information that “disrupts social stability”, a catch-all phrase often used to refer to emails, bulletin boards and blogs that challenge the political status quo.

As well as being a reminder to users not to break the rules, they also link directly to a website where surfers can report “unhealthy” websites.”

Where did this summer’s war go? Jerusalem Post: “The consistent message coming from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office, and from the prime minister himself, was that while Israel was ready for a war, one was unlikely to start because it was simply not in either side’s interest. It seems they were right all along. “

Aren’t you getting a little ahead of the gun. The summer is not over for three more weeks and if anything happens it may come on your upcoming holidays. If not, the war will come soon enough.

There is not much point to be dancing in the street about peace while your government gives away your lands and while the enemies sworn to your destruction become more powerful then ever. By the way, Iran is building nukes. When will that bring war? It certainly won’t be in the distant future.

– The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “Somebody would have to show me how we’re going to make that transition,’ Mr. Giuliani said of the FairTax. ‘Also, the thought that there wouldn’t be an IRS with the FairTax — well, who is going to administer the sales tax? And who’s going to administer the people that are exempt from the sales tax?’ Mr. Giuliani said he’s read and even underlined ‘The FairTax Book,’ the standard defense of the proposal, and says it looks like a false hope to him. FairTax supporters say he must not have read that closely because, they said, nothing is exempt under the FairTax.”

I cannot believe the people that are getting behind this national sales tax. They claim nothing will be exempt so they will have to rebate the poor on certain things that they buy each month. What kind of a bureaucratic nightmare will have to be set up to do that? Everyone will become dependent on the government to send them a check each month. What records will you have to keep and send to the government each month to get that rebate?

Talk about a tax system that will require you to sell your soul to the government!

Anyway, the fair tax will not be 23 percent it will be much higher and it will hit middle class people the hardest. It will also cause a depression. If the Republican platform adopts this national sales tax they have cut their own throat, they will be doomed. Oh..by the way, under this tax system you can forget about that interest write off on your house and don’t be under the illusion that this does away with any state taxes or property taxes. I wrote more about this demented tax proposal on a previous post.

Europe’s jackboot progressives — The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper
During the past six years Freddy Thielemans, the mayor of Brussels, allowed 3,500 demonstrations. He banned only six, including, last year, a march of Kurdish nationalists belonging to a terrorist organization. As a rule everyone — except criminals — is allowed to demonstrate in Brussels.

Two weeks ago Mr. Thielemans issued his sixth ban. “Stop the Islamization of Europe” (SIOE), a pan-European organization led by a Dane, an Englishman and a German, was denied permission to demonstrate on September 11 against the introduction of Shariah law in Europe. Many European countries are introducing elements of Shariah law, such as granting welfare benefits to polygamous families, prohibiting private soup kitchens from distributing pork, banning Muhammad cartoons and organizing separate swimming hours for Muslim women in public pools.

SIOE planned to bring 20,000 to 50,000 participants to Brussels from 26 European countries. The march would end in front of the European Parliament building with one minute of silence for the victims of the September 11 terror attacks in America. According to the mayor, however, the latter is an indication of SIOE’s criminal nature.

SIOE is not at all a racist organization, but a broad group of people who want to preserve Europe’s Judeo-Christian civilization, its freedoms and values. It intends to proceed with its demonstration and turn it into a “birthday party” for Mr. Thielemans, who was born on Sept. 11, 1943. The mayor’s words, however, are very clear. Anyone who intends to participate in the September 11 SIOE demo is a criminal under Belgian and European law: he or she is a racist and a xenophobe. The Brussels police, usually very soft on crime, might not look on passively next September 11, when “racists” and “Islamophobes” try to celebrate the mayor’s birthday with one minute of silence for the September 11 victims.

It is equally clear, however, that the true reason why Mr. Thielemans banned the SIOE demonstration is his fear of upsetting the large Muslim population of Brussels. Over half the inhabitants of the Brussels region are of foreign origin, many of them from Morocco. Mr. Thielemans’s Parti Socialiste (PS) caters for the Muslim immigrants. The PS is the largest party in Brussels. Ten of its 17 members on Brussels’s municipal council are Muslims. They do not tolerate criticism of their religion and they approve of the “Islamization of Europe” — a process which, as Mr. Thielemans’s ban shows, is well on its way in the “capital of Europe.”

“Though Mr. Thielemans has forbidden the SIOE demonstration, he gave permission for a demonstration in Brussels on Sept. 9 by United for Truth (UfT), a group of conspiracy theorists who claim that the attacks of September 11 on the WTC towers in New York and on the Pentagon were organized by the Bush administration.”

Freedom of speech and assembly in Brussels is almost always allowed unless it upsets the Muslims. Seems that the capital of Europe has already been conquered by the Muslims who now cower the atheists in government.

The Real State of Our Union: What The Politicians Know But Don’t Talk About - CWN: “Events over the past few years have caused many informed observers to be concerned over the increased precariousness of our strategic horizon. In addition to natural disasters-such as Hurricane Katrina-and the continuing terrorist threats promising a major sequel to “9/11,” and the probability of rogue nuclear attacks of various kinds, anyone who is relying on smooth waters over the next 12-18 months is simply among the ranks of the under-informed. To prepare for potentially volatile uncertainties, some years ago we published a series of suggestions, which we called “The Vortex Strategy,” and in view of our current horizon, it seems appropriate to review some of those ideas. The next major terrorist event could prove to be an even more impacting sequel than “9/11”-whether it is an Al Qaeda plot of some kind, or an EMP attack which threatens to plunge the U.S. back into the 19th century. But without indulging in speculations regarding the challenges that Homeland Security presently faces, many experts are also anticipating a possible upheaval to emerge from the current debt debacle of the United States. What would be the consequences to you and your family if America’s economic foundation was ripped out from under you? We individually can’t change the probabilities of such an event, but what is your action plan to protect yourself and your family?”

I think it is wise to respect what Chuck Missler says in this article because he is not just blowing smoke. We are in big trouble.

GrasstopsUSA.com: ” “By refusing to truly battle the Islamist ideology, by refusing to firmly and consistently oppose the dangers of Iranian nuclear proliferation, by refusing to support Israel in its battle against the menace of Hezbollah, Europe is saying everything is ‘negotiable’” – even the faith of its fathers. Goodbye, Christendom. Hello, Caliphate. Allah – what a beautiful way to say “I give up; please don’t hurt me!” It’s fun to chuckle at the Europeans – feckless, faithless, gutless. But America too is on a suicide watch, thanks to the treason of the elites. “By refusing to truly battle the Islamist ideology, by refusing to firmly and consistently oppose the dangers of Iranian nuclear proliferation, by refusing to support Israel in its battle against the menace of Hezbollah, Europe is saying everything is ‘negotiable’” – even the faith of its fathers.

WorldNetDaily: Is Larry Craig the face of the U.S. Senate?: “Craig is hardly the only member of the Senate with a propensity for dropping his pants at inopportune moments. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., admitted earlier this year that his phone number was on the list of a D.C. prostitution service. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., even leaving aside the Chappaquiddick incident, is famously promiscuous – so much so that he once dubbed himself ‘Tyrannosaurus Sex’ and joked that his nickname was the ‘floating screw.’ Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, has allegedly sexually harassed or abused at least 10 women. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., reportedly engaged in a sexual affair with an engaged lobbyist, Ron Dotzauer, then gave him a personal loan to help him with his subsequent divorce and threw cash his way. “

“And of course, allegations of corruption aren’t limited to those of the sexual variety.”

Every wonder why perverts get laws passed that favor perverts. Could it be that a significant part of the people you elect are themselves perverts?

WorldNetDaily: New Orleans: The party’s over
At least part of the city has been destroyed. And it should never be rebuilt, again. You know who is calling for it to be rebuilt at any cost? The same idiots who didn’t lift a finger to evacuate the city – people like Mayor Ray Nagin, whose legacy will always be that photograph of an armada of school buses submerged in the big muddy.
Joining him are Sen. Barack Obama, former Sen. John Edwards and Sen. Hillary Clinton – all of whom don’t see any reason to limit the spending on rebuilding the underwater city. Good thing these folks weren’t around in the days of Atlantis!
So far $6 billion has already been spent – and that’s just beginning if the politicians have their way. They are encouraging everybody to move back, put their lives at risk again and just let the American taxpayer worry about the cost.

It’s irresponsible. It’s reckless. It’s the worst kind of pandering, waste and fraud.
Somebody’s got to say it: New Orleans, the party’s over!

WorldNetDaily: Deception built super-secret abortion clinic: “Planned Parenthood concealed its ownership of a huge new abortion facility scheduled to open soon in a Chicago suburb, and pro-life advocates – and at least one city official – are questioning whether the abortion provider can mislead officials without repercussions. “

“Planned Parenthood” is no longer satisfied with just giving demented advise out to people. They are now building secret abortion facilities for the people they brainwash. They should change their named to “Aborted Parenthood”.

AIDS victims ‘buried alive’ in PNG: “Some AIDS victims are being buried alive in Papua New Guinea by relatives who cannot look after them and fear becoming infected themselves, a health worker said Monday.”
“Villagers had told her it was common for people to bury AIDS victims alive.”

“A recent United Nations report said PNG was facing an AIDS catastrophe, accounting for 90 percent of HIV infections in the Oceania region.”

Ford and GM say factories in US face axe Business The Observer: “Ford and General Motors have threatened to leave Detroit and take their car manufacturing operations overseas if unions do not agree to a massive pay cut for hourly paid workers.”

I guess Detroit auto workers will finally find out that thanks to globalization most Americans have been in a wage depression for a long time.

Engage, Moderate, Split - CWN: “Engage, moderate, and split—that’s the mantra for Middle East policy of the wrong-headed in many foreign ministries, newspaper editorial offices, universities, and other places where the rapidly growing international bad-ideas industry is centered. Yet nothing could seem more self-evident than these propositions. What could possibly be wrong with engaging radical forces, persuading them to change their ways, and breaking up their alliances? I’m glad you asked. Here is how these apparently obviously correct ideas are dangerous and even disastrous.”

Saudis Developing Nuclear Weapons - CWN: “Amid the growing controversy over Iran’s nuclear program, new information has emerged to suggest that Iran’s bitter rival, Saudi Arabia, has also been developing nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia is believed to be building its clandestine nuclear program with the help of nuclear scientists from Pakistan. Earlier this week an Arabic news website published claims that Saudi Arabia has secretly constructed nuclear laboratories beneath several newly-built prisons. According to the magazine Israel Today, the website also ‘cited intelligence reports that indicated the Saudis are constructing a massive underground nuclear center and missile base south of the capital of Riyadh.’ It has long been speculated that Saudi Arabia is developing a nuclear weapons program. In fact, evidence suggests that Saudi Arabia’s quest for the bomb began as early as 1975.”

Oh great! Now we find out that Saudi Arabia also is developing nukes. We can’t let them get nukes either since they are the crib of terrorism. Next decade is not looking very good for the world.

The People Must Demand the Fair Tax - Doug Patton - Aug 28, 07: “The Fair Tax would replace all federal income taxes. No more federal withholding. No more Social Security withholding. No more Medicare withholding. No more stealing from the paychecks of American workers before they even see it and then pretending to give them a refund, without interest, at the end of the year. No more saving receipts for tax deductions. No more IRS audits. No more April 15th.”

I wrote about this “Fair Tax” yesterday on my other Blog. What is said here is just not the way it will be in reality. You Baby Boomers getting ready to retire think about paying $300,000 for that $200,000 house you want and you might get the idea. Also think Great Depression. I talk about why on the link below.

Putin the Terrible Macleans.ca - World - Global: “Can anyone control the forces the Russian president has unleashed?CHARLIE GILLIS September 3, 2007 A couple of weeks back, while news readers were averting their gaze from photographs of a shirtless Vladimir Putin fishing in Siberia, two videos circulating on the Internet laid bare a different, much more chilling, portion of the Russian body politic. The first was a crude bit of agitprop thought to originate with the Nashi, a Kremlin-funded youth movement loyal to Putin whose work involves denouncing the president’s critics as fascists, homosexuals or foreign-controlled traitors.The eight-minute clip, which eventually found its way to YouTube, was ostensibly meant to persuade draft-eligible teenagers to seek a career in the army. But its true object was to foment paranoia. Images of U.S. soldiers marching on unidentified soil flashed across the screen, while a narrator warned that America aims to ‘colonize’ Russia for its oil. Former Soviet satellites in the ‘Stans and eastern Europe were depicted as beachheads for an impending invasion. One animated segment portrayed worm-like tentacles emanating from the United States and creeping around the globe through former Soviet republics like the Baltics, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. ‘They are right next door,’ the voice-over said. ‘They will take any available opportunity to take us over.’ “

Remember when certain people said it was the war to end all wars? If you don’t that war was World War I. The wisest man who lived said there in nothing new under the sun and mankind keeps proving him correct. Just wait a decade until the Nashi gets into position of power in Russia with a modern military.

The Horror! The Horror! The fascists are coming! Or rather, they’re already here, installed in the White House, planning like mad to subvert the Constitution and extend their reign in perpetuity, having first suppressed and eviscerated all opposition and put all of their critics in jail. Thus goes the rant of America’s increasingly unhinged left. If only, sigh many Bush partisans, wondering when this administration will get out of the fetal position and show some fighting spirit. To them, as to most reasonable observers, the White House shows the chronic fatigue of a two-term presidency reaching its final year. Nonetheless, paranoia about what Bush and Co. are up to preys on the minds of many progressives, who have progressed, in this case at least, beyond reason.

You also hear the same rhetoric coming from some on the Right. I have been hearing this stuff since the days of Richard Nixon. I suppose if we elect Ron Paul some will find that he is is really a plant of the Moose Lodge or the Alien Reptilians. Frankly there are a lot of people out there who are on drugs or else need to be on drugs or an increased dose.

Fascism might come one day but it will only come when the American people want it to come. When Americans are willing to give up all their freedoms for security it will evolve into fascism.

For that to happen there will first have to a major threat to America’s security. That probably can only happen if we let terrorists invade our country and let criminal gangsters take over our cities and let perverts set our moral standards.

Yeah, I know we have already let that happen. So come to think of it, maybe fascism is right around the corner. But don’t blame George Bush, blame yourself for electing the people you do to office who do not enforce our laws. When fascism really comes it most likely will not come by George Bush’s secret Skull and Cross Bones Society it more likely will come in under the Far Left side of Hillary’s skirt.

WorldNetDaily: Dollar collapse, stock market sell-off looms: “Chapman agrees the dollar is at risk, writing in his current newsletter, ‘If Fed Chairman Bernanke cuts prime interest rates he will be abandoning the dollar, whose value will fall against other currencies and gold.’ Chapman believes the current credit meltdown in the U.S. is headed toward a recession. He notes, ‘Since the beginning of August, 25,000 workers nationwide have lost jobs in financial services. Since the start of the year, 40,000 have lost their jobs at mortgage institutions. We are told 20,000 have lost jobs in construction.’ Even illegal aliens have been hurt, Chapman notes, writing, ‘In the last year, 200,000 illegal aliens have lost their construction jobs. This is far worse than in the airline industry in 2001, when 100,000 lost their jobs. We are talking about massive layoffs.’ “

This really is a no win situation. The Fed cannot lower rates without a crash of the dollar and it cannot raise rates without making things worse in the housing and financial markets.

It is pretty obvious that there will be a recession which of course could start a downward spiral that will totally get out of control. Housing would become a blood bath. This might get much more serious then the usually happy faces are portraying.

All the ingredients are now in place for a massive depression or a dollar crash that will have the same long term effect. Which way this all plays out depends on the Feds actions. We might even avoid a recession by some miracle but it will then just put off the inevitable depression for a few years. Lets face it, America has been hollowed out and we are now running on borrowed credit. However, someday the bills always become due.

China Defends Quality of Exports: “BEIJING (AP) - Faulty American designs and conflicting global standards for safety are at the root of the mass recalls of Chinese-made toys by Mattel Inc., a top quality official said Monday”

Then do us all a favor and stop sending your products over here.

NewsMax - America’s News Page: “The Asian economic tiger is aggressively making inroads in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean as it seeks the resources to feed its super-heated economy. Some critics wonder if China’s involvement will supplant the United States’ near-hegemonic role in terms of trade and finance. “

While we are so busy buying Chinese crap and spending over $200 billion more then we are buying from China every year the Chinese are taking our money and doing with it what we should have been doing in Latin America. Therefore, we paid China to undermine our own hemisphere. You can thank all the politicians and Corporate globalists who moved our jobs and technology to China so they could fill their own pockets at our expense. You can also thank yourself every time you buy that Chinese peace of crap that will break down in a year or poison your kids and pets. If you want this trend to continue just keep buying Chinese.

Taliban to free hostages — The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AP) – The Taliban agreed today to free 19 South Korean church volunteers held hostage since July after the government in Seoul agreed to end all missionary work and keep a promise to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year.

The terrorists will get everything they want by kidnapping Korean church volunteers and killing two of them? If this is the way NATO is going to win the war against terrorism they have already lost. Perhaps it was necessary to promise this to get the naive Korean church workers released but if Korea or NATO is going to have any credibility in the Islamic world it should follow the kidnappers demands with sending in a hundred thousand troops to root all the terrorists. Only then might the terrorists realized that kidnapping agreements will never be honored. There is no other way to stop this barbaric practice. Now with their success they will just try to do the same thing with another country that is fighting the terrorist threat in Afghanistan.

Townhall.com::Why Liberals Always Protect Perverts::By Kevin McCullough: “Liberals at their core have no sense of true north. They can’t determine right from wrong, good from evil, and in this case even help from hurt. Worse yet - they don’t care. The hardness of their hearts towards the victim is not only apparent in their actions, but the mockery of their words adds insult to injury. Hence why Geraldo Rivera would defend the concealing of an illegal alien’s identity from the feds - even though he had been indicted on 31 counts of child rape, before executing three college kids in Newark this summer. It also explains the actions this week of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “

Islamist cleric issues Iran warning - Israel News, Ynetnews: “Iran and its associated Shiite sects are hijacking Arab causes and exploiting them to serve an ‘expansionist scheme’, a top Sunni Islamist cleric warned in a statement. Sheikh Hamid al-Ali, based in Kuwait, is a leading
