The time of testing is coming

A Students‏

A students must do what teachers and textbooks want and do it the way teachers and texts want it done.

Neatness counts! A students are very busy.

Freedom‏

“When the Western Roman Empire “collapsed” in the 5th Century AD, the peasants didn’t just disappear. They were still there farming the same lands. They were simply no longer taxed by the Roman Administration. For most of western Europe peasantry, their lives got BETTER as a result of the collapse, not worse.” - Keith Doyon

VAT

VAT as the most “insidious tax of all.”

It’s a dishonest effort to pick your pocket and disguise it from you.

Rising interest rates will reveal massive fraud in the interest rate derivative market.

EMP

"Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity," - Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy

One Party‏

The leftist giants of privately owned media, almost en masse, advance a cultural and moral agenda utterly at odds with what conservatives believe. Private colleges indoctrinate young adults with hateful propaganda. The entertainment industry coarsens our morality, savages our faith, and mocks our patriotism.

The Dollar‏

To put it bluntly, the dollar's days are numbered and its demise is inevitable. Anyone who still hopes there may be a way around it, must answer that ultimate money question: Where in the world is the American federal government going to get $117 trillion?

Jobs

Hiring at the federal level has apparently to date escaped these same fiscal pressures. Indeed, the federal government appears to be significantly outpacing the private sector in terms of the relative number of jobs created.

When you ask, you do not receive

James 4:1-4

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Sheeple

Isaiah 53:6 - We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.


John 10:3-4 - The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Two Americas

There really are two Americas! One America believes in self-responsibility, hard work and the primacy of the individual. The other – probably close to one-third of the population – believes in the primacy of "the common good" and the fantasy of living off the efforts of others.

Chicago

I need some help with this one, because I can’t understand the mind of a lefty progressive.

First the progressives ban guns in Chicago, so law-abiding citizens can’t defend themselves from the criminals that by definition do not obey the laws.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Supreme_Court/supreme-court-hears-chicago-gun-ban-case/story?id=9780703

Then the same socialist turnaround and call for a fascist takeover of the city.

more...

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/04/national_guard_headed_soon_to.html

But that doesn't answer exactly what it is the protesters are upset about here. The good congressman Jared Polis is afraid of a "police state." Well, we have lawmaker asking for the National Guard to be the police for Chicago, Illinois — a literal army to defend the citizens. Yet no one says a word.

If they wanted a police state, believe me, they could get it. But they don't. Yet, somehow, we are supposed to believe this law will cause cops to start banging down doors? You know what stops a police state? The smallest government possible. That's what the Tea Parties are about: the smallest possible government. Progressive governments create the apparatus, just in case there's an emergency you'd hate to waste.

The news doesn't reflect common sense or what is actually going on.

Obama himself just passed a health care bill that forced people to buy health care and he pushed for harsh punishments for those who refused. So, in other words, the federal government will ask for verification of your health insurance, but the same government can't ask for your legal information?

Am I in "Alice in Wonderland"?

Debt Irony

President Barack Obama's top budget adviser, Peter Orszag, said on Tuesday that the U.S. government must significantly alter its policies in order to tackle a growing mountain of debt.

Wait, hold the phone. Isn’t that what the evil Tea Party Terrorist have been saying for over a year?

A warning to gold and silver bugs‏

Luke 16:13

"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

The State can and will confiscate your silver and gold:

Irony it is to laugh

I used to think that Jon Stewart was one of those rare individuals that could see past the rhetoric and get right to the irony – that’s the essence of comedy.

Like when the four white guys from SEIU jumped a black guy at an Obama rally called him the ‘N’ word and beat him up for selling American flag lapel pins at a US presidential election because anyone opposed to Obama is a racist.

What about a collage of the president and all of his minions taking turns calling the Tea Party racist, homophobic, violent and dangerous extremists juxtaposed with actual footage from a rally showing the Tea Party grannies, moms, families and kids?

It wouldn’t take much of a comedian to find the ironic humor of the whole thing. But it turns out that Jon Stewart’s sense of humor only goes one way.

Instead, what Stewart finds humorous is the alleged intolerance of the Tea Partiers because they object to paying for benefits they will never receive.

Change

Change you can believe in:

"Though I do think, at a certain point you've made enough money." - Obama

Apparently “No we can’t” is the new Change.

Power

“At some point you have grabbed enough power.”

The new face of socialism?

TV

"I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked 'brightness' but it don't work, does it?" - Leo Anthony Gallagher

Just cut the cable and be done with it, I would rather read a book anyway.

Today

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.


Quote of the Day

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat

Bugs

I wouldn’t use the term terrified, I’ve eaten bugs before, but I would say that I’m not inclined to want to eat them again.

“I think that my problem is that I am terrified by the horrors of a corrupt, brain-dead Congress deficit-spending us into bankruptcy and a corrupt, brain-dead Federal Reserve creating so Incredibly Much Money (IMM) that an inflationary collapse is inevitable, and we will be reduced to eke out a subsistence living by eating weeds and bugs.”

Godlessness in the Last Days‏

2nd Timothy 3:1-5: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
