Jesus was a community organizer?
What is a community organizer? Barack Obama started out his career as a community organizer until he found out he could parlay the suffering and hardship of others into a lucrative profession.
From there he made contacts to support his political ambitions into a mediocre career in the Illinois state legislature. His political potential and political connections allowed Mr. Obama to “buy” a Chicago mansion. With no major achievements he became the pawn of the Chicago political machine and was elected into the U.S. Senate where again his mediocrity was parleyed into 1 keynote speech at the ’04 democrat convention and less than 2 years as a senator.
Each step of this community organizer has resulted in the benefit of himself.
Jesus never sought the betterment of others in order to benefit his own career or his own financial portfolio. Jesus never used his public service connections to buy a newer, bigger, better house. Jesus even commented, “the foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nest, but the son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Matthew 8:20 The only benefit Jesus ever had with his wealthy friends was to be buried in a rich man’s tomb.
Even though she never degraded community organizers, Sarah Palin likened being mayor of a small town as a community organizer with responsibility. She worked for the town and her co-citizens which she served; she applied for state office to battle corruption in the governor’s office. She never used her office to buy herself a mansion. She did not become wealthy as governor or organize a political machine to advocate her selection as vice presidential candidate. Governor Palin did not compare herself to Jesus. This humble servant instead compared herself to a pit bull with lipstick.
What did Pontius Pilate do?
· He enriched his political allies.
· He lived lavishly off the benefits of his political appointments.
· He served in mediocrity during his career.
· He raised taxes on those he served to enlarge and enrich the government that suppressed the common man
· He voted “present” at the trial of Jesus even though he found the charges against him as not valid.
· His political service included the approval of the murder of thousands of innocents (definitely not prolife!)
1Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
4Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him." 5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!" 6As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him." 7The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."
8When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"
11Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
12From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar." 13When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.
15But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered. 16Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.-Matthew 19:1-16
Which candidate should truly be compared to Pilate.

When Does Life Begin?
When does life begin? According to Barrack Obama, this is a very complicated question. According to Democrat Party, principles and policies, life begins when it becomes taxable! Of course that does not hold true about death because one is taxable after he dies (i.e., the death tax). When I vote, I don’t vote according to which candidate and/or party promises me the best financial benefits, I vote according to a morality standard. Even though I appreciate the financial and tax breaks afforded me as election promises, I cast my vote for the candidate and/or the party that values life. Today it may be the life of the newborn. Tomorrow it may be the life of the elderly. Perhaps in the future it could be the life of the disabled, disadvantaged or the impoverished. Nazi Germany determined it was the life of the Jewish population that was expendable. During this past primary season, I had 3 friends who were pregnant and delivered babies less than 2 pounds. My sympathy went out to those families because I believed that rarely will a baby less than 3 pounds could lived. How amazed I was 3 months later as each one of these infants have not only survived but have thrived. 2 of them have already been dismissed from the hospital and the third will be released shortly. Scripture teaches that God knows us from the womb.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." -Jeremiah 1:5
Those who kill the life of the unborn suffered under the Old Testament law. Jesus says whosoever offends these little ones, it would be better if a millstone was cast around their neck and they were tossed into the sea. When does life begin? It doesn't seem like such a complicated question to these 3 little miracles who survived their premature births.

Wright is Wrong
Revelations concerning the preaching of Rev. Wright have hit the airways recently; his message exhibits a recurring theme, petitioning God to curse America. Repeatedly his message condemns the country that shelters him, gave him an education, and provides him an environment to preach his anti-American, pro-Marxist theme of hate, rebellion and racial prejudice all the while providing him a 6 to 7 figure income to promote his bile.
His major thesis is that God has cursed this country and requests God to damn our country. I would like to share a few thoughts from this humble preacher whose message is not propped up by even a 6 figure income.
God has blessed this country from its very inception. History is replete with evidence of God’s providential hand in blessing the founding fathers and their efforts to colonize and organize a place where individual freedoms are protected, worship of the Creator and the invitation of grace and salvation of the Savior are considered divine rights of human endeavor, opportunity to achieve is an evolving process where people from all backgrounds have been and are constantly invited to participate in the great historical sociological and economic experiment.
I would like to address several areas where I see God’s provisions applied to our society.
Historical evidence abounds as even though Europeans obviously had access to the shores of the America before Columbus’ journey in 1492. Phoenicians from the time of Christ, Viking explorers and fishermen during the dark ages, and who knows how many others that evidence remains to be discovered. But why was Columbus’ journey the first to open the floodgates to this new world? Why was the discovery being made at the time when freedom of religion was being birthed? The Guttenberg Press had made the Bible accessible to the homes and languages of the world. Though the technology for a printing press was available to the Chinese for centuries, the Guttenberg press was used to print many religious booklets and Bible translation which had been previously forbidden. These people of faith made amazing sacrifices to establish new homes, new hope, and new opportunities in the New World where worship before God would be exempt from the persecutions that were initiated long before.
This new experiment in democracy received Divine approval as the colonies fought for independence against England. How could these 13 colonies hope to organize, defend themselves and defeat the most powerful nation in the world at that time? God’s blessing and England’s war against India paved the way to a war of Independence. Diverting many troops and resources, America was able to defeat a better armed, more experienced and superior financed enemy. Even the assistance from France, which had been long promised, providentially showed up on the Atlantic coast at just the time Cornwallis was experiencing a retreat that could not be completed due to the harbor being filled with French warships. Could this experiment in democracy succeed? Perhaps you could explain the major rallying attack in the Revolutionary War where during that cold and wintry December night George Washington was able to surprise the British troops and German mercenaries in a skirmish that renewed hope for the struggling Continental Army. During the War of 1812 the British troops set fire to the nation’s capital. Suddenly a tornado arose and the resulting storm put out the fire as well as killing troops who started the fire! The D-Day invasion should have been a complete disaster. A storm during the landing caused inexperienced pilots to panic since they were afraid of running into each other during the heavy formation. Paratroopers were scattered across the Cotentin Peninsula not landing anywhere near their drop zones. The German army, trying to determine the Allied strategy, was unable to organize a defense so they just sat rather than mount a defensive counterstrike ensuring a beachhead which opened up the progression of Allied troops marching across France and into Germany.
Our fledgling country was not a mature nation. There were many growing pains that must be experienced; as well as social issues and problems that must be corrected. Expansion from the Atlantic to the Pacific created as many problems as it solved as cultures clashes erased many cultures from Native American, Spanish, French, and German backgrounds. As new generations of immigrants arrived on the shores, new challenges and new prejudices evolved. But war became a great equalizer; uniting the different backgrounds into a common purpose. Individual battles were won when the hand of God held back weather fronts and allowed oftentimes inferior fighting forces to experience victories.
Mr. Wright, I challenge you to show me another nation where God has blessed its people so that a nerdy college dropout can become a multi-millionaire by turning a computer program into a software company named Microsoft. Where else can a spendthrift news paper delivery boy become a multi-millionaire by opening a discount store named Wal-Mart? ? Examine the financial fiasco of a portly, prosperity-deprived Missouri potato chip salesman in Kansas City. This young man was struggling from week to week. Constantly seeking new opportunities, he made his millions by hosting a nationwide radio audience of 20,000,000 people daily as the premier radio talk show host on his EIB Network.1. Each year 32 to 64 young men, many of them raised by single parents and often coming from ghettos and/or gang-related backgrounds become instant millionaires as they are selected as first round draftees for the NBA and NFL. Where else can an adulterous religious leader receive a multi-million dollar home in a gated community provided by the labor, sacrifice and tax free contributions of his congregation while his sermons are filled with bile and disrespect for the blessings he has received?
Look, Mr. Wright, at a country where a tie salesman from Missouri could become President of the United States. Or how about a Texas schoolteacher become first the most powerful senator and then president of the U. S. who signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Where can the son of fruit farmers rise out of his poverty to serve as President of the United States being re-elected in the largest landslide ever before resigning as and later rehabilitating his reputation before his death? How about a peanut farmer from Georgia rise to governor of his state and be elected President and preside over a historic peace accord in the Middle East? What about a President who started out as a B movie actor whose most well known role was as a co-star to a chimpanzee? This chimpanzee’s co-star led a watermark event in world history that changed the political face of the world as the communist USSR collapsed without a shot. Let me ask you about a trailer park Lothario who became not only president but eventually a multi-millionaire. Mr. Wright where else could a man whose Kenyan father leave behind his ex-wife and son where that son could become the first truly viable African-American candidate to the office of President of the United States (that is, of course, unless his acquaintances destroy the credibility of his candidacy)? What other nation has been so blessed by God that these seemingly unqualified backgrounds could lead to such high political office?
Certainly Mr. Wright there are disparities in this country like there are in all other countries. These disparities are part of growing pains as societies, cultures and customs come under the microscope of societal evolution. But this societal change takes place in this God blessed country of America. Where else do you find a country such as ours where thousands of legal and illegal immigrants are willing to do whatever it takes to get in and work for a fresh start in life? When conjoined twins from Egypt need surgery to survive, they come to America for medical assistance. Our colleges and universities welcome countless foreign students desiring our education. Our armed forces train their soldiers and pilots how to serve. The destitute receive charity assistance to feed the deserted and outcasts of all other countries around the world. African nations receive more financial and medical assistance from America to combat AIDS than from all other countries in the world combined!
Our news stories report tragedies across the world. A 4.7 earthquake in Micronesia kills thousand and leaves countless homeless, while a 7.1 earthquake in San Francisco results in the deaths of less than 70. By the way, the hand of God allowed this devastating earthquake to occur while a world series ball game was scheduled to begin caused a normally crowded rush hour freeway that collapsed resulting instead of the death of thousands to only 42! 2752 die in the Twin Towers of the WTC during a terrorist attack that could have resulted in the deaths of between 30,000 to 40,000 people. Tragedies do happen in this country. America is not exempt, but God continues to bless America with the volunteer spirit of community, friendship caring and sacrifice wherever and whenever tragedy occurs.
We still are the only country to send men to the moon. We create more new millionaires than any other country in the world. We send countless numbers of young people to colleges, universities and technical schools in order to train, educate and prepare new generations to prosper in a technologically changing world.
Mr. Wright, our country not only assists Israel to care for its defense, we also discovered the oil, dug the oil, built the refineries and by the way, enriched the Arab world while doing so. We have helped take China into the 21st century where their factories are equipped to produce the many goods sold in America. We provided funds and technology to Vietnam. We built the economy of WWII Europe and helped rebuild, restore and refinance the war devastated economies of our then defeated enemies in Japan and Germany. Our staggering foreign aid goes throughout the world. We build water wells in Africa. We provide power plants throughout Southeast Asia. We send food to famine struck countries whenever crisis occurs. We even hire out of work actors from Canada to become major TV and motion pictures stars.
But yes, Mr. Wright it could be possible for God to curse our beneficent land. Take your lesson from your predecessor Balaam (Revelation 2:14). Who was asked by the king of Moab to curse God’s people Israel as they journeyed to Canaan. This false prophet abused God’s people by advising the enemies of God how to make God curse his people by infiltrating the populace with idol worshippers, those who promoted an immoral and homosexual lifestyle and instilling within the people a disrespect for life by killing infants and children on the altar of a selfish, lascivious, ignorant, idolatrous religious practices. If enough false teachers/prophets of doom like Balaam and you, Mr. Wright are able to sound the call to forsake and despise a God-blessed culture, tradition and morality while embracing a culture of Marxist, humanistic godlessness and rebellion; well then God will damn our country. But if and when that happens, God always raises a new people who will embrace his word, keep his moral and ethical codes, walk by faith, exhibit a loving and benevolent spirit and spread the gospel of truth, integrity, salvation and freedom elsewhere. God’s blessing will never return void and prophets of rebellion, who promote an unthankful spirit and disrespectful attitude will always feel the sting of rejection from God’s people.
So Mr. Wright, I will offer my prayers to the God on High that He will reject your prayer of hate, prejudice and defeat all the while continuing to God Bless America. Amen!

Hat Tip to Redstate for this Gem
"On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats' convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least"
Just lovely! I don't know what is more shocking, the joy shown over the Hurricane or that there is a Democrat official who believes in God
Thanks to the guys over at Pajamamedia we get to see truther nut Alex Jones show his compassion and love by trying to get his fellow Peace Party Members to murder Michelle Malkin.
Well, I guess it could have been worse, according to
Mara H. Gottfried, Elizabeth Mohr and Dave Orrick at

The five people being held at the Hennepin County jail are under arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, conspiracy to commit civil disorder and conspiracy to damage property.
Arrested at the 17th Avenue home were Monica Rachel Bicking, 23, Erin Chase Trimmer, 23, and Garrett Scott Fitzgerald, 25, Nestor said.
Nathanel David Secor, 26,was arrested at the 23rd Avenue South home.
Erik Charles Oseland, 21, was arrested an undisclosed location, the sheriff's office said.
"Conspiracy to riot was the charge used against the Chicago Eight in 1968 as part of a politically motivated prosecution," said Bruce Nestor, president of the Minnesota chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. "It is a charge that is essentially used for preventive detention."
A St. Paul building leased by The RNC Welcoming Committee, Where A Search Warrant Was Executed Friday Night, Is being turned back over to the property owner, the mayor's office said this afternoon.
O' Hail the Messiah Lord Obama
Meet Gov. Palin
Meet Governor Sarah Palin

Change? According to Michael Kranish at the Boston Globe McCain has indicated that he would only serve one term if elected. Why is that important to change? A 2008 McCain victory that would make Sarah Palin the 2012 Republican presumptive nominee and would most likely send the Democrats running back to the feet of Hillary Clinton begging for her forgiveness so that she would run against Palin. Regardless of the 2012 outcome McCain will have ensured that the next President of the United States will be a woman! Now that is "Change" you can see, not just "hope" for.

Governor Sarah Palin delivered the following remarks after John
McCain announced that she was joining the ticket as the nominee for Vice
President.
Governor Sarah Palin: "And I thank you, Senator McCain and Mrs.
McCain, for the confidence that you have placed in me. Senator, I am honored to
be chosen as your running mate. I will be honored to serve next to the next
president of the United States.
"I know that when Senator McCain gave me this opportunity, he had a short list
of highly qualified men and women, and to have made that list at al
l
-- it was a privilege. And to have been chosen brings a great challenge. I know
that it will demand the best that I have to give, and I promise nothing less.
"First, there are a few people whom I would like you to meet. I want to start
with my husband, Todd. And Todd and I are actually celebrating our 20th
anniversary today, and I promised him a little surprise for the anniversary
present, and hopefully he knows that I did deliver.
"And then we have as -- after my husband, who is a lifelong commercial
fisherman, lifetime Alaskan -- he's a production operator. Todd is a production
operator in the oil fields up on Alaska's North Slope, and he's a proud member
of the United Steelworkers Union, and he's a world champion snow machine racer.
Todd and I met way back in high school, and I can tell you that he is still the
man that I admire most in this world.
"Along the way, Todd and I have shared many blessings, and four out of five of
them are here with us today. Our oldest son, Track, though, he'll be following
the presidential campaign from afar. On September 11th of last year, our son
enlisted in the United States Army. Track now serves in an infantry brigade. And
on September 11th, Track will deploy to Iraq in the service of his country. And
Todd and I are so proud of him and of all the fine men and women serving the
country in uniform.
"Next to Todd is our daughter Bristol; another daughter, Willow; our youngest
daughter, Piper; and over in their arms is our son Trig, a beautiful baby boy.
He was born just in April. His name is Trig Paxson Van Palin.
"Some of life's greatest opportunities come unexpectedly, and this is certainly
the case today. I never really set out to be involved in public affairs, much
less to run for this office. My mom and dad both worked at the local elementary
school. And my husband and I, we both grew up working with our hands.
"I was just your average 'hockey mom' in Alaska. We were busy raising our kids.
I was serving as the team mom and coaching some basketball on the side. I got
involved in the PTA and then was elected to the city council and then elected
mayor of my hometown, where my agenda was to stop wasteful spending and cut
property taxes and put the people first.
"I was then appointed ethics commissioner and chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission, and when I found corruption there, I fought it hard and
I held the offenders to account. Along with fellow reformers in the great state
of Alaska, as governor, I've stood up to the old politics as usual, to the
special interests, to the lobbyists, the Big Oil companies and the 'good old
boy' network.
"When oil and gas prices went up so dramatically and the state revenues followed
with that increase, I sent a large share of that revenue directly back to the
people of Alaska -- and we are now -- we're now embarking on a $40 billion
natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
"I
signed major ethics reforms, and I appointed both Democrats and independents to
serve in my administration. And I've championed reform to end the abuses of
earmark spending by Congress. In fact, I told Congress thanks, but no thanks, on
that "Bridge to Nowhere." If our state wanted a bridge, I said, we'd build it
ourselves.
"Well, it's always, though, safer in politics to avoid risk, to just kind of go
along with the status quo. But I didn't get into government to do the safe and
easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built.
Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties. The
people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right
reasons. And the right reason is to challenge the status quo and to serve the
common good.
"Now, no one expects us to agree on everything, whether in Juneau or in
Washington. But we are expected to govern with integrity and good will and clear
convictions and a servant's heart.
"Now, no leader in America has shown these qualities so clearly or presents so
clear a threat to business as usual in Washington as Senator John S. McCain.
This -- this is a moment when principles and political independence matter a lot
more than just the party line. And this is a man who has always been there to
serve his country, not just his party.
"And this is a moment that requires resolve and toughness and strength of heart
in the American president. And my running mate is a man who has shown those
qualities in the darkest of places and in the service of his country. A
colleague once said about Senator McCain: That man did things for this country
that few people could go through; never forget that. And that speaker was former
Senator John Glenn of Ohio. And John Glenn knows something about heroism.
"And I'm going to make sure nobody does forget that in his campaign. There is
only one candidate who has truly fought for America, and that man is John
McCain.
"This is a moment -- this is a moment when great causes can be won and great
threats overcome, depending on the judgment of our next president. In a
dangerous world, it is John McCain who will lead America's friends and allies in
preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"It was John McCain who cautioned long ago about the harm that Russian
aggression could do to Georgia and to other small Democratic neighbors and to
the world oil markets.
"It was Senator McCain who refused to hedge his support for our troops in Iraq,
regardless of the political costs. And you know what? As the mother of one of
those troops and as the commander of Alaska's National Guard, that's the kind of
man I want as our commander in chief.
"Profiles in courage, they can be hard to come by these days. You know, so often
we just find them in books. But next week when we nominate John McCain for
president, we're putting one on the ballot!
"To serve as vice president beside such a man would be the privilege of a
lifetime, and it's fitting that this trust has been given to me 88 years almost
to the day after the women of America first gained the right to vote.
"I think as well today of two other women who came before me in national
elections. I can't begin this great effort without honoring the achievements of
Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and, of course, Senator Hillary Clinton, who showed
such determination and grace in her presidential campaign.
"It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in
the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of
America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for
all.
"So for my part, the mission is clear. The next 67 days I'm going to take our
campaign to every part of our country and our message of reform to every voter
of every background, in every political party, or no party at all. If you want
change in Washington, if you hope for a better America, then we're asking for
your vote on the 4th of November.
"My fellow Americans, come join our cause. Join our cause and help our country
to elect a great man the next president of the United States. And I thank you,
and I -- God bless you, I say, and God bless America. Thank you."
We're Back
