A Stimulating Sermon



Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th chapter of Genesis. We'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ... (reading) .... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year. But the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes... That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?

Yes. But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.

We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth" once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"? Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will..

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..."

And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government. In God We Trust...

Don't ya just hate a guy like this?

(Exerpt from an email)
Paul Ryan Our Next Vice President

Well, early Saturday morning we learned that Congressman Paul Ryan, Republican from Wisconsin, is to be Mitt Romney's pick for the next Vice President of The United States.

What are we to think of this selection? He's not a graduate of Columbia University. He's not a graduate of Harvard. He wasn't selected as the President of the Harvard Law Review. He didn't get a special free quota scholarship ride to any prestigious university and, instead, had to work his way through Miami University of Ohio. For God's sake the man drove the Oscar Mayer Wiener Truck one summer and waited tables another!

One morning when Paul Ryan was sixteen years old he went in to wake his father up and found him dead of a heart attack. He didn't write two books about that experience. Instead, he assumed the role of adult at an early age, never having the luxury to pursue youthful drug use and the art of socialist revolution.

Instead, Paul Ryan and his mother took his grandmother, suffering fromAlzheimer’s, into the household and served as the primary care provider for his grandma. His grandma wasn't the Vice President of the Bank of Hawaii so she could offer nothing in return, except the element of "need".

Once Paul Ryan got his BA in Economics from Miami University of Ohio he was hired as a staff economist in Wisconsin Senator Kastin's office. The job must have not paid well because young Ryan moonlighted as a waiter and fitness trainer. No one offered him a "token honor" position at the University of Chicago and a $200,000 dollar a year salary.

When a still young Paul Ryan returned to Wisconsin to run for Congress he didn't demonize his opponent and dig up dirt to shovel against him. He waited until the standing Congressman vacated the office before seeking the office. In Janesville, Wisconsin they don't have a big political machine to promote you, to criminalize your opponent; instead Paul Ryan had to go door to door and sit at kitchen tables and listen to his future constituents.

After getting elected to Congress Paul Ryan didn't triumphantly march into Washington, buy himself a Georgetown townhouse and proceed over to K Street to rub elbows with lobbyists. He bunked in his Congressional office and used the house gym for showers and a fresh change of clothes.

Paul Ryan then married and took his bride back to Janesville. He lives on the same street he lived on as a kid and shares the neighborhood with eight other members of the Ryan clan. He hunts with the local Janesville hunt club and attends PTA meetings and other civic functions.

For those who can't make those public functions, Paul Ryan bought an old bread truck, converted it into a "mobile constituent office" and drives around to meet with those who need his help and attention.

No, I don't know if we can vote for a guy like this. He doesn't have a regal pedigree; he's Irish for God's sake! No one awarded him a Nobel Peace Prize two months after getting elected. No one threw flowers or got "chills down their leg" as a he took his seat in Congress.

What is most despicable about Paul Ryan is that he has had the nerve to write the House Budget for three years in a row. He's is brazen and heartless in advocating in that budget for a $5 trillion dollar reduction in federal spending over the next ten years! The House passed his budget three years in a row and three years in a row the Democratically controlled Senate has let it die in the upper house, without ever proposing a budget of their own. What is wrong with this guy? If Congress were to cut $5 trillion dollars from the budget where would the President get the money to give $500 million dollars to a bankrupt Solyndra? Or $200 million dollars for bankrupt Energy 1? Or $11 billion dollars to illegal aliens filing INIT, non-resident tax returns to claim $11 billion big ones in child tax credits, even for their children living in Mexico?

I don't know. Paul Ryan seems heartless to me. He keeps wanting to cut government waste, he keeps wanting to put a halt to those big GSA conventions in Vegas and, worse, he keeps trying to make people look at that $16.7 trillion dollar deficit! The guy's no fun at all!

Who wants a numbers cruncher? Who wants someone spoiling the party by showing folks the bill? Nothing will spoil a party quicker than sending the host the bill before the party's over

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Ms. Pelosi:

I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.

I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam , as my son did in the Middle East . I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.

You obviously haven’t read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCulloughs book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.

I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your public service. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husband’s investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payers’ expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States ; you only subtract there from.

I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husbands’ canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.

I await your defeat in the next election with glee...

Don’t ever use the term un-American again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded. By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60s and 70s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American. But at the same time, I have the right to write you to notify you that I consider you to be un-American, as do the majority of the people of this formerly great country. You are a true disgrace to most of the people who served this country by offering themselves for public service in the United States Congress.

I feel certain your aides will not share this letter with you, but I intend to share it with many...

Dream on Dream Act...

… from my friend, retired school teacher, principal, and administrator….

"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc.. where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.(OUR TAX DOLLARS ATWORK)I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO havecell phones. The school also provides day care centers for theunwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.(OUR TAX DOLLARS ATWORK)I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America .(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas"(whores)and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc, etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes. Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and anAmerican culture that has become so weak and worried about"political correctness " that we don't have the will to do anything about it.If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressmen and Senators. CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.But the bottom line is cheap labor The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.He qualifies for food stamps..He qualifies for free (no deductible), no co-pay) health care.His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.He requires bilingual teachers and books.He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense. He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up. Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

Best Regards,

Mike Johnson

'Gator Bait


There is an old saying that "when you're up to your ass in alligators, it's difficult to remember that your main objective was to drain the swamp". And it is here that I think we find ourselves politically.
I must qualify before going any farther that I am not politicised. I actually know very little about politics, foreign policy, economics and the myriad of other subjects one needs to be proficient at in order to be a politician....gee, did I just make a satirical funny? Because as little as I know about the preceding, it doesn't appear that those we chose to lead us know much more.
But I gotta tell ya, as much as I'm pissed about the abhorrent way that our leaders are not (leading), as well as the direction those on the looney left are taking us, I'm a bit more disgusted with the way those factions on the right are carrying on against each other.
I've said before in posts that up until 9/11 I couldn't have cared less who was in the White House. By the time whatever they decided to do trickled down to where I lived, it was so watered down one way or another that the change to me personally was minimal. Made little difference whether a republican or democrat was at the wheel. I'm quite sure that that stance is a matter more of my lack of interest than in the importance of who reigned. All I can say is the day to day of surviving was more important than politics. And that didn't change until 9/11.
I think it was a matter of unlucky coincidence that the planes flew into the towers on Bushes tour. He had only been in office a few months so really hadn't had a chance to do much of anything to cause what happened from our end. I've since then heard all the rhetoric about how the preceding 20-30 years gave cause for the terrorists to feel justified in what they did. It doesn't wash with me much, a terrorist is a terrorist and why they do what they do is no where near as important as the fact that they did it and they need to be stopped before doing it again. Or, in the case of the suicide type, destroy the nest they came from. Which is what I think George had in mind. Regardless of what the arm chair pundants say now, I was there and I saw what I saw. Had I been in his shoes I'd have done more towards laying waste to as much of the area as possible, but that's just me. Statesmen obviously have other considerations.
So anyway, we did what we did and that pissed a lot of people off. So when it comes time to chose another POTUS, a war weary populace (especially the liberal side) decides that George is the full cause, not the terrorists, not the backlash of a war on them, and the effect it had on our world vision, and the worlds view of us. And given that George was a Republican, the country felt we needed to do a 180. The social liberals capitalized on that sentiment and shoehorned in the abomination that we have sitting in the Oval Office now. Again, I'm no politician but I could have told you the first time I heard him speak he was bad news. And nothing he has said one single time in almost four years has swayed me from that initial assessment.
But here's my point in going where I've gone.
The liberal left really doesn't have a choice as to whom they are going to vote for. I guess it's all kinds of unacceptable to try and bring another democrat in during an incumbents election cycle. Why, I haven't the slightest idea. I simply cannot see how any sane person can view what this abomination has done and want another four years of it. But be that as it may, I have no expectation that the liberals will do anything but vote for him.
I have a completely different set of expectations for those that oppose him. That being the case and point of this post. I'm flabbergasted by the division on the right.
I classify myself as a republican because that's what my folks were. That's the way I was raised, more on the conservative side, but I really couldn't have made any comparison of a "right/left" perspective because if you've never engaged in something it's impossible to comment on it. Or so it should be.
I studied civics in high school and we learned the basics of our governmental system as well as elements of our two party political system. When I went to school not much was revealed about an independent middle ground. Certainly nothing as defined as the Tea Party. My folks said they were republicans so that's what I was. I voted a couple of times when I was a young man but it was always strictly on that party basis, with little or no knowledge of who I was voting for. I didn't even vote for Bush the first time around. But after 9/11, and watching how he took charge of the situation, I certainly voted for him the second time. I like George. I like what he did. And if anybody got handed a rotten deal it was him. We have some problems today because of where he had to go, and what he had to do, but we are still standing. I shudder to think of what would have happened had a 9/11 occurred of Barry's watch. Talk about FUBAR.
I wasn't all that much of a McCain fan during the '08 campaign. But after watching it dwindle down to what the left threw at us with Obama, I couldn't really vote for anyone else. I know when I did vote, I saw more faces in the school where we ballot than had been there in decades. I'm not racist, but the turn-out where we live was an incredible sea of black faces. I spoke with a few. Every single black person I spoke to told me they were voting Obama because he was a black man. They couldn't have told me anything more about him than I could have told them. I know I didn't vote against him because he was black, but rather because I thought he was a pompous asshole. And I still do.
I have to admit that several months ago I couldn't have told you diddly squat about Romney. I didn't focus on him, so I couldn't have told you a lot about him. I was really hoping and praying that Palin would pick back up where she left off as the VP selection, and carry that on for a run at POTUS. I'd have voted for her in a heartbeat. She was the one thing that McCain did that impressed the hell out of me. Here again, I speak more from the heart than from a knowledge of politics. I'm a man, and she's a woman, and there is a certain attraction we guys get from strong women, but she just impressed me. I liked the way she spoke, spoke up, and what she spoke about. She's my idea of what a strong willed woman can accomplish if they try. I would have had no problem whatsoever following anywhere she chose to lead this nation. I still think the same way.
Having said that, there are other Independents that carry some of the same values she does. I'm a constitutionalists. I believe in the moral, and religious foundation that our founding fathers established. There are many candidates that ran during the preliminary campaign that carried more of the core values that I believe in than Romney. But the people spoke. I didn't initially believe in the selection, but once it was made, there was little point in spending time and energy fighting it. So I began to focus on the positive aspects of his campaign. The more I listened, the more I became convinced that he was a workable alternative to the really horrible situation we have with Obama.
I would have voted for anybody the right, as a majority, selected over Obama. The only one I would have been really happy with would have been Palin. Aside from that, its the same thing flip flopped from '08. Anybody on the right has got to be better than what the left coughed up....again.
I think Romney will work for America, instead of against it, like Obama has for the last four years. And in the process it's just possible that an independent conservative right might gain the strength, support, and momentum it needs to effect some serious reform to this nation.
I say all of the above to say this...why in the wild world of sports would anybody with the common sense God gave a gopher, who had recognized that Obama was the single worst decision American ever made, ever consider voting in such a fashion as to give any advantage to him? If you don't agree with Romney, fine. I suppose there are times when we don't agree with our boss, but we don't quit. I don't agree all the time with my wife, but I'm certainly not going to divorce her over it. Why is it so difficult to understand, that unless we face a total landslide situation, the race between these two will be so tight that any voter distraction is likely to see another horrific four years as a result.
I heard it said by another in a recent social post. If you vote for anyone other than Romney, and by chance he does not win, and Obama does, you will be as culpable, and responsible for that loss of American Freedom as the worst liberally social leftist out there. You can look in the mirror and just consider yourself to be as guilty as any knuckle headed, koolaide drunk, self entitled, tit clinger there is. And in my book a traitor, because you had the chance, knew better, but instead chose your own pridefull wants over the needs of the country.
This is going to be an ugly race. Obama has pulled out all the obvious stops, as well as some not so obvious ones. What are the chances he's not sitting around at night cackling about the divisness he's injected into the rights rhetoric?
So I think that it's high time that we all knuckle down and get on the same page. No one out there has a snow ball in hells chance of defeating Obama other than Romney. And that only if we consolidate our efforts, put aside our differences, and focus on draining the swamp. If you vote for anybody but Romney, consider yourself a traitor in my book.

The first Yelp!

I think that in the coming days you will find the ire and resolve of working, tax paying Americans has been raised to a fever pitch. Yes, WE have been complacent. WE have had our collective heads in the sand for generations. Allowing a representative bunch to speak for us while we lived our lives. The fruit of that complacency now stares us in the face. However, with the implementation of Barry's Ofarce, and the realization that SCROTUS does not have our backs, the Independant heart of America will rise up, in forceful yet peaceful protest, and take back this still great nation. They just kicked the biggest frickin dog on the planet...The God loving, blue collar, tax paying, gun toting backbone of America and the free world. Resolve is a powerful weapon in the hands of a righteous man...

The Lady from Montana has the floor...

Patty, I don't know who you are or what your story is, but as I couldnt have put it better, you have the floor...

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation, as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.

Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give
OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65
to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills. And you've spent more than any administration in history.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent b------s spent our money so
profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes! That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son -----
