Social Media, Politics and Religion…Oh My….

Posted on by

“Wow, ya’ll are really doing politics on Christmas. I logged on to my own page out of boredom and lo and behold. Haha, God Bless you all..and please, lighten up if just for tonight. Jesus is king, the government shall be upon his shoulders, as prophesied in Isaiah.. what better promise can God offer? It’s not about you or me, but about him. For unto us a child is born!! Merry Christmas!!”

This was a post by a Facebook friend last night in one of the many groups to which I belong. It was not directed at me specifically but to those in the group in general.

I understand her sentiment. I really do but I too was engaged in politics yesterday. The verse to which she refers is this; “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government shall rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9:5-6

Isaiah is one of 5 books of major prophecy. It’s in the Old Testament. That verse is one to which Christians point as the foretelling of the coming of Jesus.

Politics on Christmas? Yes…and for a VERY Good Reason

Posted on by

Be sure to Click LIKE at the bottom of this article, and share it everywhere!!

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

If there is such a thing as divine providence, clearly it played a most important part in the events surrounding the founding of this nation.

For those who wish to separate Christmas from the politics of the day, I am with you but, one must realize that without connecting the two, we may well not have a nation at all.

When one thinks of Christmas, the true and first Christmas, one thinks of tiny Bethlehem. That’s where it started. Bethlehem.

So too, perhaps via divine providence, is Bethlehem a key to our nation’s birth.

Yes, it is a different Bethlehem than the one from the first Christmas but I ask you, is it coincidence? I rather doubt it as I don’t believe in such things either in politics OR divine providence.

Is Joe Biden “Good Enough??”

Posted on by

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.”

Ahhh…the words of Joe Biden.

Perhaps Biden should ask those who wear the uniform. Maybe he should ask those who actually fight for freedom and the rights we enjoy in this nation.

The Taliban is not…”Per Se” our enemy?

Was it NOT the Taliban who gave shelter to those who schemed the attacks of 9-11?

IS it not the Taliban who today are the ones responsible for most of the attacks on our service men and women in Afghanistan?

Our Fallen Heroes Disrespected…Shameful.

Posted on by

Because of the way I personally feel about those who protect our nation, our freedoms and the freedoms of others around the world, I am compelled to write this article. It gives me no pleasure to do so, but I want this on the record.

The remains, or partial remains, of some 274 of our heroes, upon their return to Dover Air Force Base, were cremated and disposed of in a landfill.

That alone is enough to cause me great outrage but it is not the only part of this story which does so and, honestly, I do not know which part of this whole thing incenses me more.

It was the families of those heroes who gave authorization to the military, to dispose of the remains in a dignified and respectful way.

While cremation is indeed respectful and dignified, dumping those ashes in a landfill equates to everything which is neither.

In fact, it is shameful.

Let Liberals Pull the “Trigger”

Posted on by

And now we know the truth. John Kerry, on Fox News this morning, admitted that the only reason there’s no deal from the “Super Committee” is because of the Bush Tax cuts.

In reality, those tax cuts could and should be referred to as the Bush/Obama tax cuts as it was Obama who renewed them.

Republicans on the committee has steadfastly refused to make the Bush/Obama tax cuts a part of the 1.2 trillion dollars in deficit cuts and for good reason. They promised not to.

Liberals on that committee want nothing more than to hike taxes. Liberals feel the wealthiest 1 or 2 percent of Americans must be soaked for more taxes. Oh, never mind that those are the same people who already pay 40% of all taxes…To liberals, it’s not enough.

In the liberal mindset, success MUST be punished.

Let’s not forget that this commission, the “Super Committee” was to have been non partisan and the solutions they were convened to seek, non partisan as well.

Let’s not forget also that doing away with the Bush tax cuts was a major plank in Obama’s 2008 campaign.

Therefore, one is left no alternative but to conclude that eliminating what is now, the Bush/Obama tax cuts, via the “Super Committee” is 100% partisan.

Hey Allen West…Time for Show and Tell

Posted on by

Solyndra and all the emails, subpoenas, hearings and cover ups, Fast and Furious with its memos, emails, who knew what and when along with its subpoenas and testimony, GOP campaign polls changing daily, the whole Occupy Wall Street drama, Penn State and on and on and on…

Distractions.

The real story is the Super Committee and what is happening, or not happening, between 12 members of congress.

With less than a week to go before triggers kick in and drastic cuts are made to Medicare and our Defense Department, there just doesn’t seem to be any movement. Or is there?

Obama and the liberals have been trying to make a living on, and or campaigning against, what they have, for some time now, labeled a “Do Nothing Congress” and therein rests the issue.

To All Who Have Served, We Thank You

Posted on by

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

With those words, in 1919, President Wilson marked the 1st anniversary of the end of the War to End All Wars, a day which would become Armistice Day.

That war, the 1st World War came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

Some 7 years later, a Congressional resolution read: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

While the Marine Corps Celebrates, We Remember

Posted on by

Tomorrow is Veterans Day but today is special too. Today we celebrate the 236th birthday of the United States Marines. Formed in 1775 to assist the U.S. Navy during the Revolutionary War to conduct ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces.

Throughout its long and storied history, the U.S. Marines have fought in every conflict in which we have been involved.

While many will today celebrate the Corps and recount their history, I have chosen to narrow the focus.

In honor of the entire U.S. Marine Corps, throughout history and those who serve with honor today, I want to draw your attention to a single unit. A mere 400 Marines who changed history and who are responsible for our freedoms today.

There aren’t many of them left and it wasn’t until recently that these Marines were formally recognized for their remarkable efforts but you should know who they were, what they did and who they are now.

Obama’s Latest Foreign Policy FAIL

Posted on by

“Seal Target Geronimo” is the name of a new book by Chuch Pfarrer. Geronimo, as you will remember, was the code name for bin Laden during the raid in Pakistan which killed him. In this book, Pfarrer describes, among other things, how this raid likely went down.

Pfarrer should know what he’s talking about too.

Chuck Pfarrer is a former Navy Seal, but that’s not the end of it. While not personally involved in the bin Laden raid, Pfarrer used to be with Seal Tem Six as an Assault Element Commander and I suspect, he has some pretty spot on contacts.

According to the author, it is most likely that the shot that took bin Laden out came within 2 minutes of the time those Seals broke through the front door of that compound.

That’s not what caught my eye.
