Wall Street Journal gets it Right!

The Wall Street Journal Review and Outlook page gets it right. In a review of our president's speech of April 13th they call him "The Presidential Divider".

He is the most unqualified, Un-American person to ever hold the office!!

If God gives us the leadership we deserve, then we need to repent and get right with Him. Right Now!!! God help us with Barry in the White House.

One Year After.

Last April the Tea Party Coalition of Western New York collapsed. Most of the groups that had been involved got out. Since that time words and accusations have been flying back and forth. The event that led to this collapse has been disputed ever since. I wrote about this in one of my earliest posts and in the Buffalo Pundit. I wrote what I saw. I added a little commentary and opinion but it was mostly what I saw. Over the weekend things seem to have gotten a little worse. I know that some current members of the Tea Party Coalition have an incredible amount of bitterness which spills over it the most outrageous comments in their blogs and google groups. One of the members that I still like has started to come out with some strange things. He points to the Tuesday before the collapse as "Black Tuesday". It was the day that leaders decided to let the man who had been the Erie County Republican Chairman to seek the endorsement of the Tea Party group. Now in all honesty, there wasn't anyway on God's green earth that he would have gotten the endorsement. But some people freaked. One of the people that freaked was a candidate for the office; the other was his paid consultant. (Of course, no one know that relationship until later.) In response to this they tried to lie to the group and deceive it into doing something that would meet their own ends. You know the old "quick get them do this before they know what's happening." To my friend, letting someone try to do something that he will never be able to do is worse that lying and trying to deceive your friends. I don't understand that. To me "Black Tuesday" was a "Beige Tuesday" at best and that a very light shade of beige. But bitterness and anger have continued to the joy of outsiders who don't like us and don't support our views. It makes us look like the lunatics they think we are. Maybe some of us are?

Someone Forgot to Tell Me.

One of the more laughable things I heard from the "well-respected" Green Party Candidate, Ian Murphy was that at least he wasn't a millionaire. I guess I wasn't paying attention on the day that they taught that being a millionaire was bad. I am a Tea Party guy. I'm a Tea Party guy because I believe in the principles of our founding Fathers. Yes, I know they were not perfect but their principles were well founded. When Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we were endowed with certain unalienable rights he made sure that people knew that the one endowing was God. He also put in a phase that most people seem to forget. When we speak of our unalienable rights we tend to think that there are three: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The forgotten phase is "...that among these are...". This means that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are among the unalienable rights. This means that there are more. One of these is one that Jefferson chose to replace in the list. He borrowed the first two items in his list of three from John Locke, the 18th century English philosopher. Locke's list included "estate."

What is "Estate?" Simply, it is the right to use the fruit of your labor. Meaning that there is this thing called property rights. You know, what is yours is yours. It belongs to you. It does not belong to a king, a president, a congress, your country, or even your neighbor!!! The government does not have the right to take what is yours and give it to your neighbor. Whether you are poor or rich. Whether you have a lot or a little. It's yours, not your neighbors. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that you shouldn't give to help others. It is yours. You have that right and a caring person feels an obligation to help those who don't have. That is what "love" is all about. What I am saying is that no government has the right to decide how much you can have. You have the right to keep what you have earned and control it. That is "Estate" and that is an Unalienable Right. Some people either don't remember that or just don't care especially when it's your "estate"

How powerful is your God?

I believe in the existence of an eternal, all-knowing, unchangeable, all-powerful God. The God that that I believe in is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Jesus. He is so powerful that He doesn't need me to defend Him. If someone says anything bad about Him it's His problem to take care of. Would I like it if they didn't? Of course, I don't want them to . But a living, real, all-powerful God doesn't need me or anyone else to defend Him. He is stronger than I am. He knows better than I do about how to "take care of " that person. Some questions for those Muslims who are killing people because someone burned a Koran , "Are you so insecure in your faith than you can't accept any questioning?" "Is the god that you believe in so impotent that you must defend him?" "Haven't you proved the pastor right when he said that the Koran leads to violence?" If you believe that "Allah" is all powerful then let him take care of those who desecrate his book. I know that the Creator of heaven and earth doesn't need me to stickup for Him.
