Who stole our culture? -- William S. Lind--

Sometime during the last half-century, someone stole our culture. Just 50 years ago, in the 1950s, America was a great place. It was safe. It was decent. Children got good educations in the public schools. Even blue-collar fathers brought home middle-class incomes, so moms could stay home with the kids. Television show s reflected sound, traditional values. Where did it all go? How did that America become the sleazy, decadent place we live in today – so different that those who grew up prior to the '60s feel like it's a foreign country? Did it just "happen"? It didn't just "happen." In fact, a deliberate agenda was followed to steal our culture and leave a new and very different one in its place. The story of how and why is one of the most important parts of our nation's history – and it is a story almost no one knows. The people behind it wanted it that way. What happened, in short, is that America's traditional culture, which had grown up over generations from our Western, Judeo-Christian roots, was swept aside by an ideology. We know that ideology best as "political correctness" or "multi-culturalism." It really is cultural Marxism, Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms in an effort that goes back not to the 1960s, but to World War I. Incredible as it may seem, just as the old economic Marxism of the Soviet Union has faded away, a new cultural Marxism has become the ruling ideology of America's elites. The No. 1 goal of that cultural Marxism, since its creation, has been the destruction of Western culture and the Christian religion To understand anything, we have to know its history. To understand who stole our culture, we need to take a look at the history of "political correctness." Early Marxist theory Before World War I, Marxist theory said that if Europe ever erupted in war, the working classes in every European country would rise in revolt, overthrow their governments and create a new Communist Europe. But when war broke out in the summer of 1914, that didn't happen. Instead, the workers in every European country lined up by the millions to fight their country's enemies. Finally, in 1917, a Communist revolution did occur, in Russia. But attempts to spread that revolution to other countries failed because the workers did not support it. After World War I ended in 1918, Marxist theorists had to ask themselves the question: What went wrong? As good Marxists, they could not admit Marxist theory had been incorrect. Instead, two leading Marxist intellectuals, Antonio Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukacs in Hungary (Lukacs was considered the most brilliant Marxist thinker since Marx himself) independently came up with the same answer. They said that Western culture and the Christian religion had so blinded the working class to its true, Marxist class interests, that a Communist revolution was impossible in the West, until both could be destroyed. That objective, established as cultural Marxism's goal right at the beginning, has never changed. A new strategy Gramsci famously laid out a strategy for destroying Christianity and Western culture, one that has proven all too successful. Instead of calling for a Communist revolution up front, as in Russia, he said Marxists in the West should take political power last, after a "long march through the institutions" – the schools, the media, even the churches, every institution that could influence the culture. That "long march through the institutions" is what America has experienced, especially since the 1960s. Fortunately, Mussolini recognized the danger Gramsci posed and jailed him. His influence remained small until the 1960s, when his works, especially the "Prison Notebooks," were rediscovered. Georg Lukacs proved more influential. In 1918, he became deputy commissar for culture in the short-lived Bela Kun Bolshevik regime in Hungary. There, asking, "Who will save us from Western civilization?" he instituted what he called "cultural terrorism." One of its main components was introducing sex education into Hungarian schools. Lukacs realized that if he could destroy the country's traditional sexual morals, he would have taken a giant step toward destroying its traditional culture and Christian faith. Far from rallying to Lukacs' "cultural terrorism," the Hungarian working class was so outraged by it that when Romania invaded Hungary, the workers would not fight for the Bela Kun government, and it fell. Lukacs disappeared, but not for long. In 1923, he turned up at a "Marxist Study Week" in Germany, a program sponsored by a young Marxist named Felix Weil who had inherited millions. Weil and the others who attended that study week were fascinated by Lukacs' cultural perspective on Marxism. The Frankfurt School Weil responded by using some of his money to set up a new think tank at Frankfurt University in Frankfurt, Germany. Originally it was to be called the "Institute for Marxism." But the cultural Marxists realized they could be far more effective if they concealed their real nature and objectives. They convinced Weil to give the new institute a neutral-sounding name, the "Institute for Social Research." Soon known simply as the "Frankfurt School," the Institute for Social Research would become the place where political correctness, as we now know it, was developed. The basic answer to the question "Who stole our culture?" is the cultural Marxists of the Frankfurt School. At first, the Institute worked mainly on conventional Marxist issues such as the labor movement. But in 1930, that changed dramatically. That year, the Institute was taken over by a new director, a brilliant young Marxist intellectual named Max Horkheimer. Horkheimer had been strongly influenced by Georg Lukacs. He immediately set to work to turn the Frankfurt School into the place where Lukacs' pioneering work on cultural Marxism could be developed further into a full-blown ideology. To that end, he brought some new members into the Frankfurt School. Perhaps the most important was Theodor Adorno, who would become Horkheimer's most creative collaborator. Other new members included two psychologists, Eric Fromm and Wilhelm Reich, who were noted promoters of feminism and matriarchy, and a young graduate student named Herbert Marcuse. Advances in cultural Marxism With the help of this new blood, Horkheimer made three major advances in the development of cultural Marxism. First, he broke with Marx's view that culture was merely part of society's "superstructure," which was determined by economic factors. He said that on the contrary, culture was an independent and very important factor in shaping a society. Second, again contrary to Marx, he announced that in the future, the working class would not be the agent of revolution. He left open the question of who would play that role – a question Marcuse answered in the 1950s. Third, Horkheimer and the other Frankfurt School members decided that the key to destroying Western culture was to cross Marx with Freud. They argued that just as workers were oppressed under capitalism, so under Western culture, everyone lived in a constant state of psychological repression. "Liberating" everyone from that repression became one of cultural Marxism's main goals. Even more important, they realized that psychology offered them a far more powerful tool than philosophy for destroying Western culture: psychological conditioning. Today, when Hollywood's cultural Marxists want to "normalize" something like homosexuality (thus "liberating" us from "repression"), they put on television show after television show where the only normal-seeming white male is a homosexual. That is how psychological conditioning works; people absorb the lessons the cultural Marxists want them to learn without even knowing they are being taught. The Frankfurt School was well on the way to creating political correctness. Then suddenly, fate intervened. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, where the Frankfurt School was located. Since the Frankfurt School was Marxist, and the Nazis hated Marxism, and since almost all its members were Jewish, it decided to leave Germany. In 1934, the Frankfurt School, including its leading members from Germany, was re-established in New York City with help from Columbia University. Soon, its focus shifted from destroying traditional Western culture in Germany to doing so in the United States. It would prove all too successful. New developments Taking advantage of American hospitality, the Frankfurt School soon resumed its intellectual work to create cultural Marxism. To its earlier achievements in Germany, it added these new developments. Critical Theory To serve its purpose of "negating" Western culture, the Frankfurt School developed a powerful tool it called "Critical Theory." What was the theory? The theory was to criticize. By subjecting every traditional institution, starting with family, to endless, unremitting criticism (the Frankfurt School was careful never to define what it was for, only what it was against), it hoped to bring them down. Critical Theory is the basis for the "studies" departments that now inhabit American colleges and universities. Not surprisingly, those departments are the home turf of academic political correctness. Studies in prejudice The Frankfurt School sought to define traditional attitudes on every issue as "prejudice" in a series of academic studies that culminated in Adorno's immensely influential book, "The Authoritarian Personality," published in 1950. They invented a bogus "F-scale" that purported to tie traditional beliefs on sexual morals, relations between men and women and questions touching on the family to support for fascism. Today, the favorite term the politically correct use for anyone who disagrees with them is "fascist." Domination The Frankfurt School again departed from orthodox Marxism, which argued that all of history was determined by who owned the means of production. Instead, they said history was determined by which groups, defined as men, women, races, religions, etc., had power or "dominance" over other groups. Certain groups, especially white males, were labeled "oppressors," while other groups were defined as "victims." Victims were automatically good, oppressors bad, just by what group they came from, regardless of individual behavior. Though Marxists, the members of the Frankfurt School also drew from Nietzsche (someone else they admired for his defiance of traditional morals was the Marquis de Sade). They incorporated into their cultural Marxism what Nietzsche called the "transvaluation of all values." What that means, in plain English, is that all the old sins become virtues, and all the old virtues become sins. Homosexuality is a fine and good thing, but anyone who thinks men and women should have different social roles is an evil "fascist." That is what political correctness now teaches children in public schools all across America. (The Frankfurt School wrote about American public education. It said it did not matter if school children learned any skills or any facts. All that mattered was that they graduate from the schools with the right "attitudes" on certain questions.) Media and entertainment Led by Adorno, the Frankfurt School initially opposed the culture industry, which they thought "commodified" culture. Then, they started to listen to Walter Benjamin, a close friend of Horkheimer and Adorno, who argued that cultural Marxism could make powerful use of tools like radio, film and later television to psychologically condition the public. Benjamin's view prevailed, and Horkheimer and Adorno spent the World War II years in Hollywood. It is no accident that the entertainment industry is now cultural Marxism's most powerful weapon. The growth of Marxism in the United States After World War II and the defeat of the Nazis, Horkheimer, Adorno and most of the other members of the Frankfurt School returned to Germany, where the Institute re-established itself in Frankfurt with the help of the American occupation authorities. Cultural Marxism in time became the unofficial but all-pervasive ideology of the Federal Republic of Germany. But hell had not forgotten the United States. Herbert Marcuse remained here, and he set about translating the very difficult academic writings of other members of the Frankfurt School into simpler terms Americans could easily grasp. His book "Eros and Civilization" used the Frankfurt School's crossing of Marx with Freud to argue that if we would only "liberate non-procreative eros" through "polymorphous perversity," we could create a new paradise where there would be only play and no work. "Eros and Civilization" became one of the main texts of the New Left in the 1960s. Marcuse also widened the Frankfurt School's intellectual work. In the early 1930s, Horkheimer had left open the question of who would replace the working class as the agent of Marxist revolution. In the 1950s, Marcuse answered the question, saying it would be a coalition of students, blacks, feminist women and homosexuals – the core of the student rebellion of the 1960s, and the sacred "victims groups" of political correctness today. Marcuse further took one of political correctness's favorite words, "tolerance," and gave it a new meaning. He defined "liberating tolerance" as tolerance for all ideas and movements coming from the left, and intolerance for all ideas and movements coming from the right. When you hear the cultural Marxists today call for "tolerance," they mean Marcuse's "liberating tolerance" (just as when they call for "diversity," they mean uniformity of belief in their ideology). The student rebellion of the 1960s, driven largely by opposition to the draft for the Vietnam War, gave Marcuse a historic opportunity. As perhaps its most famous "guru," he injected the Frankfurt School's cultural Marxism into the baby boom generation. Of course, they did not understand what it really was. As was true from the Institute's beginning, Marcuse and the few other people "in the know" did not advertise that political correctness and multi-culturalism were a form of Marxism. But the effect was devastating: a whole generation of Americans, especially the university-educated elite, absorbed cultural Marxism as their own, accepting a poisonous ideology that sought to destroy America's traditional culture and Christian faith. That generation, which runs every elite institution in America, now wages a ceaseless war on all traditional beliefs and institutions. They have largely won that war. Most of America's traditional culture lies in ruins. A counter-strategy Now you know who stole our culture. The question is, what are we, as Christians and as cultural conservatives, going to do about it? We can choose between two strategies. The first is to try to retake the existing institutions – the public schools, the universities, the media, the entertainment industry and most of the mainline churches – from the cultural Marxists. They expect us to try to do that, they are ready for it, and we would find ourselves, with but small voice and few resources compared to theirs, making a frontal assault against prepared defensive positions. Any soldier can tell you what that almost always leads to: defeat. There is another, more promising strategy. We can separate ourselves and our families from the institutions the cultural Marxists control and build new institutions for ourselves, institutions that reflect and will help us recover our traditional Western culture. Several years ago, my colleague Paul Weyrich wrote an open letter to the conservative movement suggesting this strategy. While most other conservative (really Republican) leaders demurred, his letter resonated powerfully with grass-roots conservatives. Many of them are already part of a movement to secede from the corrupt, dominant culture and create parallel institutions: the homeschooling movement. Similar movements are beginning to offer sound alternatives in other aspects of life, including movements to promote small, often organic family farms and to develop community markets for those farms' products. If Brave New World's motto is "Think globally, act locally," ours should be "Think locally, act locally." Thus, our strategy for undoing what cultural Marxism has done to America has a certain parallel to its own strategy, as Gramsci laid it out so long ago. Gramsci called for Marxists to undertake a "long march through the institutions." Our counter-strategy would be a long march to create our own institutions. It will not happen quickly, or easily. It will be the work of generations – as was theirs. They were patient, because they knew the "inevitable forces of history" were on their side. Can we not be equally patient, and persevering, knowing that the Maker of history is on ours?

The last several years have created US and THEM culture. You are either US or you are THEM. There is no middle ground. It's not about skin color, it's not ethnic origin, it's not economic status, it is now a mandate to come out from among them. We will either change the culture or be changed by the culture. WE must create boundaries with those who pretend to be believers or are anti Christ in
spirit. I know that this is controversial, but we are losing the battle, losing our children and losing our culture by being relativist. Time to come apart from the world. Paul the Apostle wrote to a church in Corinth that was being influenced by a corrupted culture. Time to reconsider his words.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

16Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,
“I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM;
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

17“Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord.
“AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN;
And I will welcome you.

18“And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 11:2
"I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ. 3But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 4You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

5But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things. 6I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way"

Time to separate yourself from the "other gospel" preachers. Everything you value is at stake.

I just rented and watched Atlas Shrugged I. It is a great exposition on crony capitalism and the evils of government. It speaks to the evils being done right now in government. I suggest it...sadly only one in a hundred will understand it. It was thrilling to me... but that's just me

There are those that say the kingdom of God was hurt or that bible believers lost in this past election but those that say this fail to recognize that God is never up for election neither is king Jesus ever up up for a vote - He cannot lose -cannot be mocked and will always have the final say - God is not through with America but He will not tolerate America's sexual and materialistic idolatry: if the church doesn't rise up as a prophetic voice and if this nation doesn't turn back to God's moral law -then buckle up for the rough ride ahead!

If the church always practiced the separation of church and state then Dr King would have been silent regarding racial injustice - the civil rights movement , the abolitionist movement and the American Revolution in 1776 would have never taken place and we would presently be using the English pound - under the rule of British Parliament as an English CommonWealth ,with the economy driven by African Slavery and or still segregated along the lines of Jim Crow laws in the South

In Oliver Stone’s new book — “The Untold History of the United States” — the filmmaker, along with historian Peter Kuznick, argues that, “The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad situation and, in certain ways, made it worse.”
Is it just me or are others a little bit concerned that whole counties which must have a Republican presence somewhere are being reported to have voted 100% for Obama? If a few Republicans came forward and indicated that they had voted for Romney and began to question why their votes did not count, would an inquiry or recount not be in order? Common sense would suggest that the count was not correct. How many jurisdictions has this occurred in? Is this an honest election? Or does dishonesty and fraud now get a pass by both the media, the elections commissions and the Republican Party that should be in court fighting for "we the people"?

When the President stops campaigning and starts governing, I will cease my campaign against him. No one has told him that he won, that the election is over. BUT when you think about it, the only thing he has been successful at is campaigning. Governing has been a disaster.

I was really stirred by watching the Atlas Shrugged 1 movie. Long ago read. BUT now it seems prophetic of the day we are in. The effects of bad governance and crony capitalism. I am going to download part 2. I wonder if we need to lay aside the Tea Party moniker and take up the John Galt name. Like Ms Taggert says in the movie... we are John Galt. Before the election I was with a friend who was conservative but didn't know much about the tea party. Thought it was all about taxes. NOPE. I said its about over regulation by a corrupt government. The scenes from the movie of a nation in collapse where the poor get poorer, the middle class suffers and the rich get richer is what our current government policies are driving us toward, or rather off the cliff. IF you haven't seen it, it's on netflix. Blockbuster if you can find one, has it. IT will stiffen your spine against the lies of the government ... REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT. We ARE John Galt.

The Reason Obama is President By: Xavier Lerma 11/07/12 From the Russian Newspaper Pravda

 From the Russian Newspaper Pravda:

The reason America has the trillion dollar war monger Obama as president today is because of immorality and materialism in America. 

 President John Adams once said,

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” -October 11, 1798.

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible” – George Washington.

Thomas Jefferson wrote: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

The revisionist historians have tried to “cover up” God himself by not allowing recent generations to know that America was once a nation of religious people. Now, over half the people in America are not well informed and are willing to believe the spoon fed propaganda from the Democrats and Republicans.

The Democrats and Republicans are notorious for wanting to stay in power. Their worshipers get their education from TV and their friends. In the future, after it becomes obvious that their plan failed, these “useful idiots” will still blame Bush for the economy, overlook Obama as they overlooked Clinton’s mistakes or think their vote counts and they actually have freedom while approving of wars overseas. Such people are the product of America’s decaying society whose reality has been warped by drugs and other selfish pleasures. America has gradually become worse from the drugs, rock and roll of the 60′s and 70′s to the drugs and rap music of today. The communists won while Americans smoked pot.

The alienation of God in society began in the classroom. Today, blasphemies can easily be seen on TV and the cinema. Hollywood portrays the sane as the insane. The abnormal and perverted as normal. The unborn babies are seen as nothing. The silent holocaust continues. Is it any wonder America is in trouble?

The economy destroyed by white collar crimes were done by men of immoral character. They are not personally responsible for all of America’s failings but are a symptom of America’s spiritual illness most commonly referred to in previous centuries as “sin”. This is the connection that most fail to see. Where there is no God there is chaos.

We are seeing that now. Abortions financed through tax dollars now total 50 million babies killed. Their blood cries out to Heaven while Hollywood justifies abortion and some women call it a choice. Yes, a choice to kill infants without even taking the time to see what they have destroyed. They willingly blind themselves to the truth. Or do their sins blind them? The other half of America stands against this evil tide with constant prayer while their public protests are not completely shown by the American media.

“Freedom of the press” means the media will be free to report what it wants you to know. ABC, CBS, NBC , MSNBC, CNN and even Fox are similar to the Communist Soviet Union’s “Pravda”. You are now in an atheistic society as the Soviet Union once was. Pravda online has become more news worthy now as Christianity flourishes.

Patriarch Kirill said:

“The world should see the Orthodox Russia’s great feat of rebuilding all that was destroyed”

Russia once was swept with an even more horrific terror across its land. There is no comparison in the past sufferings of Russia and the turmoil of America. However, it is interesting to note that the number of deaths are equal to Russia’s when including the aborted children in America.

When Alexander Solzhenitsyn came to America he warned the US in the 70′s:

“Destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society appears to have little defense against the abyss of human decadence, such as, for example, misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, motion pictures full of pornography, crime and horror. It is considered to be part of freedom and theoretically counter-balanced by the young people’s right not to look or not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil” (speech to Harvard 1978).

The American press laughed at him and turned a deaf ear at his observations of America’s immorality and materialism.

Solzhenitsyn also warned long ago of today’s socialism:

“A number of such critics turn to socialism, which is a false and dangerous current.”

The danger is already here and the situation is much, much worse. Thus, Obama can try putting duct tape on a sinking ship but only when most Americans turn to God will the storm subside. Only then will America be able to fix the problem. Remember:

“Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” -William Penn (American hero of Liberty and religious freedom).

” We’ve staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all of our heart.” – James Madison, 1778, to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia.

The Communists took over America after JFK was shot. American society then took a sharp nose dive into Hell. With the presidential elections rigged there was no stopping their agenda. Call it Marxism, Socialism, or Communism. It’s all the same.

They want you to depend on the government instead of God. Welcome to the USSA

Therefore, only prayer and penance will lead America once again to that guiding light that governed the founding Fathers. Prayers can turn the tide of evil in the US and its chaotic effect

A Nightmare RE the USA


From a Friend's blog:

 This week, I was out walking my dogs and suddenly remembered a dream I had about 25 years ago....it had been tucked away all these years:

In the dream, a woman of great beauty, wealth, and prestige was being courted by a powerful Moslem man—she fell in love with him and he asked her to marry him. She accepted his proposal. After he had won her, he told her there was something cultural and religious with him that she needed to do for him before they could be married.

He told her he wanted her to have female circumcision—he did not explain the outcome of this genital mutilation. For those of you who do not know, female circumcision is a barbaric, demonic practice in parts of the Moslem world. Girls have forced ritual surgery without any painkiller performed on their private parts that renders them unable to enjoy pleasure in the marriage bed. It is a practice growing out of the belief that women are evil and inferior to men and subjects them to total domination by men. In some areas their female parts are sewn together after mutilation so their body will be torn apart when they are married.

The beautiful woman in the dream was blinded by her fiance's charm and her love for him—she agreed to the surgery, bent on accommodating his faith.

Who Won the Election???

From THIS blog

Politically
We will now have an even more radically leftist president working overtime to implement his socialist agenda. He knows that he can now do everything he could not try in his first term. So what if he alienates people now? He is not facing re-election anymore, so he can do whatever he likes. And it will not be pretty.
There are of course major winners and losers here because of this election outcome. Let me offer a brief list of some of them:
Winners:
The welfare state
The entitlement mentality
Big government
Socialism
Radical leftism
Secular Humanism
Planned Parenthood
The radical homosexual agenda
Radical Islam
The Muslim Brotherhood
Tyrants around the globe
The mainstream media
Golf courses
Losers:
Christianity
Religious freedom
Israel
The US military
Those seeking freedom around the world
Freedom of speech
Freedom of conscience
The rights of the unborn
Marriage
Family
Prosperity
Democracy
Responsibility
Hard Work
The US Constitution
The rule of law
Common sense

Who Voted for WHO

93% African-Americans voted for Obama (13% of voters)
73% Asians (3% of voters)
71% Latinos (10% of voters)
58% Other (2% of voters)
39% Whites (72% of voters)
44% GenY (18-29) White for Obama
91% GenY (18-29) Black for Obama
73% GenY (18-29) Latino for Obama

It's very interesting to look closely at the numbers to see the racial divide, economic divide, and generational divide in America. Interestingly, although Romney got 82% of the conservative Christian vote, it wasn't enough to put him over the top. Evaluating these numbers is very important for us as ministry leaders to see where the country is headed and how people from different racial, ethnic and age demographics are viewing the present and the future. To me, the stats show the nation more divided than ever, if I'm reading them correctly. It certainly does reveal a lot about GenY (18-29) and how they see things.

Unknown Origin but true


A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.

If President Obama loses re-election, it won’t be because of the weak economy, the unpopularity of ObamaCare, the fallout from Benghazi or any other policy-related matter. At least that isn’t how many Obama supporters on the left are likely to explain it. Instead, we’ll hear that he went down to defeat at the hands of America the Pathological—a country where bigotry, corruption and political dysfunction reign.

It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority. - Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
THEY THINK HE WALKS ON WATER

When the final chapter is written on the Obama Regime it will speak of a complicit media, devoid of journalist integrity. It will be known as the moment when Journalism as we know it gasped it's last breath, and a new media emerged. 

The New Media being what Andrew Brietbart imagined; A nation of Citizen Journalist, ever vigilant, having for the first time realized that Freedom is not a guarantee, but a privilege. 

The emergence of this new Breed of Citizen Journalist will embrace Eisenhower's edict that it should be the part time profession of all Americans to be involved in the political process. Like most of you my heart  cries out; 

LORD COME QUICKLY! I AM READY TO GO TO WORK FOR AMERICA!
Everytime I put this up,
the FB "GODS" take it down !!!

Mr. Terrorist, a moment of your time, por favor..........

I may be just one INFIDEL,
but for your information, I am but one of MILLIONS who are just as protective of this country, and possibly better equipped than I.......
So don't think that you and your fellow pukes are just gonna waltz in here and take over, for that WILL SURE AS HELL NEVER HAPPEN UNDER MY WATCH !!!
JUST TAKE YOU OUTRAGEOUS, CULTISH, PEDOPHELIAC RELIGION AND PLEASE PROCEED TO HELL !!! 
I WILL DEFEND AMERICA FROM ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC !!!
IT IS A HORRIBLE REALISATION THAT OUR COUNTRIES LEADERSHIP, THAT WE PUT IN POWER MIND YOU, HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING BUT TREASONOUS/TRAITOROUS SCUM !!!
STOP VOTING IN THE SAME PEOPLE, WE NEED CHANGES !!!
IT IS PRETTY BAD THAT "GOD" HAS TO STEP IN TO REMOVE THEM FOR US !!!
BYRD, KENNEDY, AND NOW SPECTER !!!!!!!
USE YOUR FRICKIN' HEADS AND VOTE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR COUNTRY, AND NOT MORE OF THE SAME !!!!!!!!

FEMA Out of Water Until Monday, Failed to Plan Ahead

Video- http://goo.gl/R8DAV

FEMA’s vaunted “lean forward” strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. In contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water — or any other supplies, for that matter — stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm.

FEMA only began to solicit bids for vendors to provide bottled water for distribution to Hurricane Sandy victims on Friday, sending out a solicitation request for 2.3 million gallons of bottled water at the FedBizOpps.gov website. Bidding closed at 4:30 pm eastern.

Breitbart News spoke with contracting officer Annette Wright, who said that the winning vendor would be required to deliver the 2.3 million gallons of bottled water to an East Farmingdale, New York distribution center that was listed in the solicitation request by Monday, November 5th. Ms. Wright was unable to say when or how the water would be delivered from the distribution center to needy Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island, and other boroughs of New York City. Vendors "are currently being evaluated," she said, and when the vendors are announced, they will provide information on how local distribution will occur.

Dealing with disappointment.

 I watched a bit of CBS this morning before church. Nate Silver, a poll Analyst was on and with great confidence predicted that Obama would win with 310 electoral votes. Charles Kuralt was ecstatic at the news. So were the reporters he had working the story. At the same time, watching Fox news, you have Poll Analysts predicting that Romney will win with about 310 electoral votes. Very interesting. SOMEONE is very wrong. Someones are going to be very disappointed on Wednesday. I won't predict. I have a word on this but I won't share it. What I will share is, it will be critical how Obama supporters or Conservatives deal with what will be a disappointing outcome to a difficult election. No matter how it turns out, the losing side will accuse the other side of vote fraud, election machine malfunction, hanging chads, ineligible voters and so on. Stolen elections. NO MATTER WHO WINS. My prophetic admonition to you all is, accept the outcome, regardless of who it is, the Lord puts one up and another down. I will. I may not like it, or I may. This much is certain, on THURSDAY after the election the hard work begins of pushing to restore honor to our government. We have too much cronyism, corruption and crass use of power. We must take back this untamed beast (which is what corrupt government is, a beast spirit) and return the power to the people and the states. SO, no matter how things come out, PEACE SHALOM... to us all.
This thought-provoking editorial is purportedly from a Prague newspaper.  It raises some very interesting points.
