Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. Our greatest enemy today is not Obama. It’s not the socialists in Congress, the liberal activists that serve as judges, it’s not Islamist terrorists, the Communist Chinese, the Federal Reserve, or illegal immigrants. Those who do not learn from history are bound to – what? - repeat it.

The Roman empire covered the world with roads, trade, soldiers, and technology. It was a thing of pride to be a Roman citizen. Produce and goods were inexpensive. They were the wealthiest people in the world who conquered all her challengers.

But Rome became overrun with illegal immigrants, who at first assimilated and worked as servants, but then came so fast that they did not learn the language or adopt the Roman culture. Romebecame addicted to the cheap labor, and didn’t enforce her immigration laws. Politicians and businesses catered to illegal immigrants.

The highly-trained Roman military, moving rapidly on their advanced road system, was over-stretched in conflicts at the boundaries of their vast empire. For the military industrial complex, business was booming.

“We’re completely surrounded! They’re trying to blockade the clinic…”

“What?” the eighteen-year-old college beauty sitting on the exam table responded. “Has this ever happened before?” she said, glancing worriedly at the only window in the room as the sound of the chatter outside grew louder. She pulled her thin hospital gown tighter against her skin, shivering more from anxiety than from the chilly air protruding from the vent above her.

“Not as long as I’ve been here.” The nurse tried to comfort her with a pat on the thigh. “Don’t worry, the police will start arresting them and then they’ll disperse.”

The patient’s eyes grew dim and the nurse could tell that the medicine was kicking in. In stepped a dark-skinned man in green scrubs pushing a waste-high machine on wheels. “Ah, there’s the physician now.”

“Hello, ma’am,” the physician greeted the sedated patient with his thick foreign accent. He rolled the machine beside the exam table and a nurse followed the doctor into the room holding a clipboard. “This’ll be over in a few minutes.” The nurse plugged the machine into and electric outlet, flipped a switch, and the machine jolted to life with a hum.

“Will it hurt?” the freshman brunette slurred, her speech affected by the medication.

“You’ll only feel a little bit of pressure.”

“No, will it hurt the baby?”

The nurse and the physician stared at each other for a moment and the doctor ordered her: “Two more Versed and fifty Demerol,” he said as he donned the rubber gloves the nurse handed him.

“Will it hurt the baby?”

We finally have a black President. Actually, half black. I have been told by liberals that the reason I didn’t vote for Obama was that I’m secretly racist. Actually, I voted for a black man more black than he: Republican Alan Keyes.

In the last presidential election, the leading contenders were a woman, an African American, and a Mormon.

President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee is Hispanic – an openly racist Hispanic at that, who is a member of the racist Hispanic organization La Raza (“the race”) and has supported quotas in order to favor minority races over whites. Obama has boasted that her experiences as a Hispanic make her more qualified to be on the Supreme Court than any white male. If George W. Bush had said that Samuel Alito’s experiences as an Caucasian male make him more qualified for the High Court than any female non-white, do you think for a second that Bush would have been universally hailed to be a bigoted, sexist hatemonger, and that his nominee would have been tarred and feathered faster than you can say “Clarence Thomas”?

In a speech in Germany recently, Obama boasted that his skin color was different than that of most Americans who have historically spoken on American policy in Germany. Actually, the last eight years, Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice have been the primary faces representing American policy in Germany. This tendency to favor minorities in positions of leadership is bipartisan – indeed, even the Grand Ol’ Party of the “old, white males” has an African American leader named Michael Steele! Democrats don’t have a monopoly on minority leadership. They are the party that fought for legal slavery of blacks in America, let us not forget.

As pro-choice and pro-life leaders mourn the shooting oflate-term abortionist George Tiller on May 31, I think it is fitting to remember that the pro-aborts are still ahead. Fifty million innocent children have been slaughtered since the Supreme Court ordered states to de-criminalize abortionin 1973, whereas four abortionists have been fatally shot by radical anti-choicers. The baby-killers are winning.

George Tiller was the most notorious abortionist of all abortionists. He regularly killed babies that were old enough to survive outside of the womb. Pregnant women came to him from all over the country because they wereunable to find a baby-killer as sadistic as him closer to home. He was a baby-butcher of the worst kind, who murdered, baptized, and cremated his victims on site. Click HEREto be reminded what Tiller did for a living.

Incidentally, it's not the pro-lifers arguing for slaughter. All of the justifications for abortion also apply to killing abortionists.

"We don't really know when life begins?"

"Killing abortionists may be wrong, but the question is, who decides? - the anti-abortionist or the government?"

"Every abortionist, a wanted abortionist."

"Keep your laws off my body."

"What if the abortionist was conceived through rape, or wasn't going to survive for long anyway?"

"I'm personally against the killing of abortionists, but I think that everyone should make up their own mind."

How the meaning of the slogans change when the victim is on your side!

We are here today because our nation is speeding toward a cliff, and our leaders think the best remedy is to pick up speed. We are on the verge of an economic catastrophe the likes of which most of us have never seen. Our government owes $244,000 of debt for every taxpayer. Repaying the interest on the 11.1 trillion dollars of debt is the third largest expense in the federal budget. This is the equivalent of you maxing so many credit cards that your interest payments on your credit card debt takes up 1/3 of your paycheck! That’s just digging yourself deeper into the pit of your economic demise! Yet the budget this year breaks all records by increasing the debt trillions of dollars!

The government thinks that capitalism and free enterprise has failed us, and they want to increase their control as a remedy, when in reality too much government is the problem. Of course the state’s going to prescribe more of the disease to try to better our symptoms because they profit off of our exploitation! The politicians increase the likelihood of their re-election if they can coerce us out of money to give to causes that we would not give to freely if we had the choice. If you want to fund a cowgirl museum in Arizona, bail out a failing bank or a wall street executive, give drug addicts free needles with their Medicaid check, or fund a tattoo removal program in LA, you are free to write them a check. But when you use the power of government to force others, upon pain of fine or prison, to give to causes that they would not give willingly if they had the free choice, then you’ve violate the 8th commandment, which says do not steal.

Unemployment and home foreclosures may be the least of our problems. Tax rates comparable to the former U.S.S.R.’s, the loss of our nest eggs, and the bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare will be the least of our problems if we continue down this road. The consequences we will face as a nation will be the loss of our liberties and the enslavement of our children under the shadow of an all-consuming communist state.

Our forefathers intended to prevent this in the Constitution. The state’s remedy for our economic troubles is a blatant violation of the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, which says that any obligation not granted to the federal government within the Constitution belongs to the states or the people. Does the Constitution grant the federal government the right or duty to spend taxpayers’ money to bail out failing private industries? No. Defying the Constitution does not amend it. These bailouts and all this unconstitutional spending is unlawful.

Whenever I have brought the Holy Bible to bear upon the duty and role of government, inevitably the criticism arises, "America's not a theocracy!"  As if that were a coup de' grace of some sort that proved that we should be a godless nation.  

Since Jesus is Lord of all, as individuals and as nations we have only one of two choices: submission or rebellion.  We will be ruled by sinful man or we will be ruled by God.  

When your pastor gives the invitation for unbelievers to repent and trust in Christ for salvation, the call often goes out, "Make Jesus Lord of your lives!"  However, strictly speaking, no one can make Jesus the Lord.  He is the Lord, whether we want Him to be or not.  Our choice is submission to Him and His will or rebellion.   

As King Saul learned after his partial obedience to God in his dealings with the Amalekites, partial obedience is complete disobedience (I Samuel 15).  It is rebellion according to the prophet Samuel, and it is as the sin of witchcraft, which seeks another power and another ruler rather than the Creator.  Samuel equated Saul's partial obedience with idolatry, for he worshiped another god when he refused to obey the true God.

Why Pro-Lifer Groups Love Obama

By Dr. Patrick Johnston

Pro-life organizations around the nation are in a full sprint fund-raising campaign to get signed petitions to Washington, D.C., to try and sabotage Obama's announced plan to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), in essence, will overrule all of the restrictions that states have passed limiting abortions. It would be the most pro-abortion piece of legislation that Congress has ever passed, finally putting to rest the argument that legal abortion is a Supreme Court usurpation of Constitutional limitations. With FOCA, Congress would finally transcend the absurdity of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision to make abortion a fundamental right - like freedom of speech.

With every Email or fear-filled mass mailer, you can just sense the hand-wringing and brow-sweating. "FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide," reads one website, warning of the eradication of state pro-life legislation such as "Bans on Partial Birth Abortion - Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion - Only licensed physicians can perform abortions - Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion... Sign this petition and send a much needed donation right away!" (quoted from the website FightFOCA.com.) The more pro-life Americans are outraged about FOCA, the more money that pro-life groups can make. They stand to be more financially successful under the Democrats than they do under the Republicans!

Sincere pro-lifers look with admiration upon a President and a Party who takes their commitment about abortion seriously. Unfortunately, the only President and Party with serious devotion to the abortion issue are the Democrats who want abortion-on-demand. The Republicans had their six years with a "pro-life" President and a Republican majority in the House and Senate, and how many lives have been saved as a result? How many millions of dollars have we expended to pass our Unborn Victims of Violence Act, our Fetal Pain Awareness Act, and our Partial Birth Abortion Act, all the while never delivering justice? The Holocaust continues unabated by our political victories, our pro-life speeches, our calls to our Congressman, and our million-dollar fundraisers "for the children". If only the Republicans would be as enthusiastic about doing justice for the preborn as the Democratic Party is about killing them.

Uncle Tom was the figure in Harriet Beecher Stow's famous novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.  The character in the novel was quite virtuous, but the term "Uncle Tom" is often used in a derogatory manner. Instead of resisting the enslavement of their race, "Uncle Toms" helped slave-owners maintain their control over the lesser field slaves. "Uncle Toms" would even be useful in mistreating and punishing other slaves, and would receive preferential treatment for it.  "Uncle Toms" were Judas Iscariots who betrayed their own people for selfish reasons.

Obama's an "Uncle Tom."

Obama has officially consorted with Planned Parenthood in the slaughter of millions of black babies, and in office he plans to expand the reach of the black-baby-killers.  In July of 2007, Obama told Planned Parenthood that the first piece of legislation he would sign would be the Freedom of Choice Act, a bill that would invalidate virtually all abortion limits approved by state legislatures in all fifty states.  All partial birth abortion bans, all parental notification laws, virtually all state legislation that has decreased the amount of abortions would be overturned by Obama's bill.  In fact, the Freedom of Choice Act would see the closing of Catholic and other religious or private hospitals.  This legislation would remove any conscience-clause measures from state laws that protect doctors, hospitals, and medical professionals who don't want to be involved in abortions.

Obama's position on abortion is more extreme than any pro-abortion Democrat.  As an Illinois State Senator, he publicly defended infanticide, the killing of living, breathing babies who survived late-term abortions.  Even Hillary Clinton voted for the Born Alive Protection Act, the legislation in the U.S. Senate that was akin to the Illinois legislation that Obama opposed.  He is a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion killing organization in the world. 

Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, was an advocate of eugenics who coined the term "birth control".  Her views were very extreme, and yet Planned Parenthood, the recipient of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, has never repudiated her, but continues to honor her and even distributes an annual "Margaret Sanger Award" to supporters.  Margaret Sanger advocated birth control and, if necessary, forced sterilization for those deemed unfit for reproduction.  She believed that African Americans were an inferior race that required white masters to control and subdue them for the betterment of civilization. 

Margaret Sanger wrote of her dependence upon African-American ministers and social leaders in order to succeed in her "Negro Project" mission to exterminate the black race.  In essence, she needed some Uncle Tom's.  She said, "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members...  I note that you doubt it worthwhile to employ a full-time Negro physician.  It seems to me from my experience ... that, while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors, they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table, which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this with white people and if we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and ... knowledge, which ... will have far-reaching results among the colored people."

Barack Obama is the Uncle Tom of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, who had as their mission to "exterminate the Negro population."  So are all the ministers who turned a blind eye to Obama's extreme pro-abortion views and endorsed him because of the color of his skin.  The injustice of slavery and the Holocaust of black babies in America could never continue without the likes of them.

What hypocrisy for Obama to claim to champion the dream of African Americans since the time of colonial slavery, and yet lead the way in slaughtering more African American babies than ever!  According to statistics provided by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, for every two African American women that get pregnant one will choose to abort.  A black baby in America is five times more likely to be killed in the womb than a white baby.  Even so, that's not enough dead black babies for Barack Obama. 

The preborn child is Obama's "nigger-slave" - the dehumanized expendable human being whose rights are to be ignored and who is to be exploited and destroyed for the profit of the powerful. 

 

I am amazed at the liberty Americans are willing to give up for a little treat.  Americans were overwhelmingly against the bailout of Wall Street executives and high-rolling bankers.  Investors who took big risks to earn big profits must also bear the losses.  According to many experts, the government bailout only postpones the inevitable, making it much more painful and expensive over the long run.  It also devalues the dollar through the Federal Reserve's inflationary printing of money to meet Congress' deficit demands.  Over 400 economists - some renown - have signed a petition to strongly oppose the bailout.  It failed in the House the first time, in part, because of the strong disapproval of most of Congress' constituents.   

The Senate responded by attaching a hundred billion dollars of hand-outs and "targeted" tax breaks to the bill and it passed in the Senate 74-25 on October 2.  The goodies in the bill have quieted the opposition.  We saw the same thing in the House on October 3^rd: so much pork for constituents back home had been attached to the bill that it easily passed in the House 263-171.  Our children and grandchildren are already facing tens of trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities with Social Security and Medicare, and yet we enslave them with even more intolerable debt.    

James Madison, the "father of the Constitution," said, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."  Unconstitutional spending is unlawful spending, its popularity notwithstanding.   

Read political mailings and the letters to the editor and you will realize how so many want the state to pay for things that they do not want to pay for themselves.  We demand the state to provide for cheaper health insurance, better educational institutions, free mental health services, better homes for less money, and cheaper fuel.  Businessmen want the politicians to help their particular business with handouts from the treasury (in exchange for campaign donations for their re-election, of course.)  We want more free milk from the governments teats, financed at the expense of everybody else.  And if the taxpayers cannot afford the handouts we demand, then we borrow it and make our posterity pay it back with interest.   

As with most of the unconstitutional duties with which government bureaucracies encumber themselves, the free market can do it better and with less expense.  Private education, for example, costs half as much as public education.  Yet the bureaucrats still want more money "for the kids."  The Muskingum County Home is another example.  It costs $68,208 per year per resident at the County Home, $56,508 of which is subsidized by the taxpayer.  It would be far cheaper to pay any of the established homes in the region to care for our indigent seniors.  We are already taxed for Medicaid, but the County Home is not even eligible for Medicaid funding.  Imagine what the county could do to serve all Muskingum County residents with an extra $3 million per year, rather than spending those funds on just sixty residents whose care is already provided by Medicare and Medicaid.
