Hi Guys,
I just wanted to make a point about the "religion of Peace...." and the harsh reality of how these demon cowards work and fight. This stuff only conjures up true scenes that I saw when I was in an Army flight uniform in RVN: 68-70, as you all know by now. I don't believe that the VC had any morals or 'religion' either.
So.... here is the question: 'Understanding that this sort of attack WILL ACTUALLY BE ON OUR SHORES SOONER THAN YOU THINK.... WILL YOU LET/ ALLOW THE ILLIGIT GOV'T OF OBAMA TAKE AWAY YOUR GUNS ??? Pure and simple, uncut, and not candy-coated, folks ! This not a 'shock tactic' my fellow Americans. I and people like me already have a plan of self defense, that has much common sense, how to watch your surroundings, avoid certain places, always be alert and perhaps carry some sort of defense. HOW ABOUT YOU ?? ?? I will try my very best to abide by the Law of the Land, BUT... the Bible gives me permission --- not only that, but 'charges me to stand up like a man, and protect myself, family, hearth and home!! Heck! It always was that way in life in the USA, until a low life bunch of Liberals got in power ! Most soldiers in my day always knew and understood that it was better to fight, and die in battle--- rather than allow yourself to be captured, especially by atheists, heathen, Muslim people who never will comply with the Geneva Convention articles of War !! Just wait for some Liberals/ Progressive, Socialists get caught by the heathens, and then get tortured... LOL. What will those poor bastards say then ??
In the meantime, check out Hebrews 11:34, and see what is said about "fighting for the truth, and swords." Those who are able bodied and have the chance are supposed to stand up and fight against a tyrannical, illegal, wrongful, Gov't --- as we did in the late 1700's with England and the Crown. And speaking of crowns, that same chapter in Hebrews states that those faithful Christians who are martyred for Jesus, are to be awarded special crowns in heaven, and those tortured for Christ. I will post another fine piece by Chuck Baldwin soon, or maybe on this post, that fits in nicely with what I am talking about today! I was just waiting for a man like him to speak the truth and make things straight!
One more thing. If Obama-care passes and really becomes law [IF WE LET IT], we shall see so many things fall out of it that have NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH CARE OF HUMAN BEINGS IN AMERICA.... but read, and TOTAL control of "We the People !" Beware, People ! It's NOT a legal Law, but was forced upon the majority of people in a smoky back locked room, with the majority of Congress refusing to sign it !! It will completely help Obama to crush the Middle Class workers and small business people, and then reduce the rest to mere hungry slaves.... and our Military is already wrecked too. I'll bet anything that Obama will not be living in the continental USA if he lives to finish out his term, for fear of being hung... and maybe by the unions, those hard working, wonderful, 'useful idiots ... ' I am NOT threatening anybody, folks! One way or another, God's Will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. But I plan to do His Will [my Lord, Jesus Christ's Will] as best I can -- old, sputtering, Disabled, Combat, Vietnam Veteran that I am.
At least I finally got some good, warm sun in my face today to help my face and complexion. PTL.
Terri is doing much better, and gained back much of her eye sight, feels better, Praise the Lord!
Warm Regards,

BEWARE!! This next portion, a true, fine, exciting post / article, by Chuck Baldwin, will certainly knock your socks off, and visit you with the harsh, salty TRUTH about MOST of our America churches right now. For mature audiences only.
Why won't churches
take a Stand?
Article by Chuck Baldwin
I am constantly asked, "Chuck, why don't pastors take a stand and speak out?" I've been a pastor most of my adult life. I believe I am qualified to answer that question. Here is the stark reality: the vast majority of pastors today are "success" oriented. Beginning in Bible College or seminary, and continuing throughout a pastor's ministerial life, the emphasis is success. And that means church growth, larger congregations, bigger buildings, bigger offerings, burgeoning statistics, greater notoriety, denominational praise, invitations to speak at conferences, applause from fellow ministers, not to mention the financial perks and benefits that come with pastoring a "successful" church.
And the way to learn how to build a successful church is to learn from those who have done it. Pastors regularly attend church growth conferences to learn from the "big" church pastors on how it's done. They purchase books, magazines, newsletters, etc., that are all geared towards telling pastors how to build a successful church. They are constantly being schooled in the latest and greatest "how to" strategies of church growth and success. This usually entails more and more sophisticated programs, music, sound, lighting, atmosphere, classes, seminars, organization, etc. Everything, and I mean everything, is geared toward success as described in the aforementioned paragraph.
Most pastors today are in reality not spiritual shepherds as much as they are corporate CEOs. The same mentality, philosophy, and strategy that drive corporate boardrooms also drive the boardrooms of modern churches--to a tee. Pastors act like CEOs, dress like CEOs, talk like CEOs, manage like CEOs, and think like CEOs.
Dare I say that even the way pastors and churches cater, and "reach out," and "minister," etc., has mostly to do with "good business." Church members are babied and pacified and stroked and petted and fawned-over because it is "good business." Today's Christians are so spoiled and petted that any dereliction or lack of attention by a pastor, church, or staff usually results in them "moving their letter" down the street to a place that will more readily cater to their temperamental demands.
Have you not noticed how most pastors spiritualize away the great examples of Bible heroism and defiance against tyranny and despotism? Ask them point blank about Daniel and the lion's den or the three Hebrew children in the burning fiery furnace or Queen Esther or scores and scores of other acts of defiance lauded in Holy Writ and they will say, "That was another time." Or, they might say, "This shows God's great deliverance and protection." But the overriding principle that drove the great heroes of the faith to challenge and defy evil government is never even acknowledged, much less addressed.
The great lesson of the above-mentioned heroes and heroines is not that God delivered them, because many of them were NOT delivered. As Paul notes in Hebrews 11: "Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance...And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented...they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in caves of the earth." (Hebrews 11:35-38 KJV). The great lesson of the above-mentioned heroes and heroines is their willingness to defy evil authority--regardless of outcome. Listen to the three Hebrew children:
"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden calf which thou hast set up." (Daniel 3:16-18 KJV)
These men knew that God COULD deliver them, but they did not know if He WOULD deliver them. And to them, it didn't matter: they were willing to defy the tyranny of King Nebuchadnezzar regardless. They were not going to bow to the unlawful, illegitimate authority of the state (in whatever form it appeared). That is the glaring lesson of every single one of these great stories of defiance.
Furthermore, most pastors and teachers absolutely refuse to tell the truth of Hebrews 11:34: "[They] waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." This Biblical passage lauds the courage of past believers who took up the sword against tyrants and despots. In the same breath that Paul extolled the sacrifice of believers who were willing to die for their faith, he also extolled the bravery of believers who were willing to fight for their faith. But you NEVER hear that from the vast majority of pastors today.
If you hear any mention of, say, America's Founding Fathers from today's pastors, it is that the founders were wrong, that they violated Romans 13, that God did not lead them to declare independence and revolt against the British Crown. Such is the ignorance and cowardice of today's ministers.
And while we are on the subject, the misinterpretation of Romans 13 is one of the chief reasons why most pastors and churches are so utterly indifferent or nonplussed about resisting evil government. This is why my son and I coauthored the book, "Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission." I encourage readers to get this book and share it with as many of your Christian friends as possible. In the book, Tim and prove from the entire Bible--including Romans 13--that nowhere does God expect (much less demand) believers to submit to evil, wicked authority.

Romans 13 Truth
Tim (a constitutional attorney) and I coauthored a second book that is also relevant to this discussion. It is called, "To Keep or Not To Keep: Why Christians Should Not Give Up Their Guns." This book searches the entire Bible and conclusively proves that self-defense is not only a God-ordained right; it is a God-ordained DUTY--and that Christians are totally justified in NOT surrendering their means of self-defense to any civil authority.

Keep Your Arms
The fact is that all of these great Bible stories of lawful, God-ordained defiance of unjust authority are totally ignored by the vast majority of today's pastors and churches. None of these great Bible truths are made relevant to attempted acts of tyranny in today's America. None of them.
Again, it is all about success. To the average pastor, nothing is as anathema as controversy. And nothing is more controversial than politics. Therefore, pastors are taught to avoid politics like the plague. Of course, they won't tell you that the controversial nature of politics is the reason they avoid it; they will tell you that "God has not called me to get involved in politics," or, "I'm trying to build a church," or, "That's not our mission," or any number of other pious-sounding clichés. But the reality is they are trying to be successful, and they believe controversy hinders success.
That's also why you seldom, if ever, hear "hard" sermons from the modern pulpit--even though that is exactly the kind of sermons that Jesus Himself preached. (See John 6:60) To the success-driven, religious CEO, people must always feel good; they must be permanently ensconced in their comfort zone; and they must never be rebuked or informed of misconduct or irresponsibility.
And as far as freedom goes, the shallowness of the average pulpit refuses to acknowledge the responsibility of the church to do anything to preserve it. All they talk about is praying for your political leaders and being good little subjects of the state.
Plus, don't forget that most churches are up to their eyeballs in debt. Therefore, pastors are afraid if they offend people offerings will go down and they might not be able to pay for all of those fancy buildings and exorbitant staff--not to mention their own personal financial perks might be endangered.
And, yes, I must also add that the 501c3 non-profit tax-exempt status most churches operate under poses a serious intimidation against the pastor and church, which keeps them from taking a stand or speaking out on issues that might be construed as political.
But here is the bottom line: as long as Christians in the pews continue to attend and financially support these stand-for-nothing churches, the churches will continue to languish in their indifference. After all, by the attendance and offerings of all of these people in the pews, pastors are being continually convinced that everything they have been taught is working: their churches are successful.
The ONLY WAY Christians can start making a difference in their country is to GET OUT of these clueless, cowardly churches and find a pastor who is not afraid to be politically-incorrect, who is not afraid to preach and teach the Biblical principles of liberty, and who is not afraid to preach and teach the principles of righteous defiance against any act of tyranny. Find a pastor who is not trying to be successful. You don't need a successful pastor; you need a truthful pastor.
But this means that people in the pews must truly WANT to be in a church that takes a stand, doesn't it? We have the kind of pastors and churches that we are willing to support. If that's the case, Christians should stop complaining about the indifference of their pastors and simply accept the imminent slavery to which they are being led.

RELIGION OF PEACE: ‘Eyes gouged out, bodies hanging from hooks, fingers removed with pliers, men castrated’: Torture scenes emerge in gory massacre in Kenya
Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed with pliers before being blinded and hanged.
Children were found dead in the food court fridges with knives still embedded in their bodies, it was claimed.
Most of the defeated terrorists, meanwhile, were reportedly discovered ‘burnt to ashes’, set alight by the last extremist standing to try to protect their identities.
The horrifying details came yesterday as the first pictures emerged from within the wreckage of the building, showing piles of bodies left strewn across the floor.
A third of the mall was destroyed in the battle between terrorists and Kenyan troops.
Lying in the rubble are feared to be the bodies of as many as 71 civilians who have been declared missing by the Kenyan Red Cross.
With detectives, including the FBI and the Metropolitan Police, still unable to reach the wrecked part of the mall for fear of setting off explosives, it could take up to a week to determine exactly who is still inside.
Yesterday, soldiers and doctors who were among the first people into the mall after it was reclaimed on Tuesday, spoke of the horrifying scenes inside.
‘You find people with hooks hanging from the roof,’ said one Kenyan doctor, who asked not to be named.
‘They removed eyes, ears, nose. They get your hand and sharpen it like a pencil then they tell you to write your name with the blood. They drive knives inside a child’s body.
‘Actually if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping, fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers. Here it was pain.’
A soldier, who took pictures at a bread counter and at the ArtCaffe, said he was so traumatised by what he saw he has had to seek counselling.
Bomb disposal experts with sniffer dogs were yesterday painstakingly combing the part of the building still standing for explosives before clearing forensic officers, police and troops to search for bodies.
