People and Churches Avoiding The War On Liberty

John Meyers writes today on his essay in Personal Liberty why he believes the government wants pot to be legal: here

"Given all the drugs, booze, gambling and social media, do you believe for an instant that Americans are willing to protest en masse? Nowadays, you may get a few dozen people out to save the whales or a black rhino, but you never see anything close in size to the protests that were stunning during the anti-war movement of the 1960s. And just try to imagine the strength of spirit it took for mass revolts that happened during the American, French and Russian revolutions. That zealotry doesn’t exist today." 

He could not be more right in his perception of the masses. They are on the couch, watching some reality TV, eating potato chips. Or text-ING their friends about who said what about whom. Or working at home of work, because when the company hired you, they meant "we really own you 24/7." 

Yep. Under the current "conditions", it's has been far too long to gather the population into anything that looks like a protest of government. let alone gather for a national protest of prayer. The will simply is not there. When I say conditions, I am also referring to a "church" which is more interested in decor, attendance and donations, than gathering people around a great cause: Speaking out against the many grievous assaults on liberty and the march towards socialism...where the State will ultimately decide if their "religion" is even allowed. Maybe this is the reason why they are silent in the public square. I recent poised a straightforward question to a local church leader who will remain nameless.  

"Why do you not support our efforts and take a stand for the our freedoms in America?"

The answer was not what I expected like, we believe that God will intervene, or we are getting ready to do that very thing, or you are mistaken, no liberties have been lost. No, I got a very troubling answer.

They were concerned about their tax status and so as not to alienate any attendees.      

What? I said. Tax Status? How does taking a stand for liberty effect your tax status and who cares if we lose a few socialist or liberals along the way? 

Apparently, one liberal in particular, is one too many because this liberal makes large donations to the church and on the face of it, money must be more important than liberty. I have known for a long time that church leaders have been conditioned to stay away from political topics.  It's bad for business and it's where you can get hurt as in asked to resign. The natural tendency is for self preservation. Add to that that the IRS has circled some information that they will deny your tax status if a church speaks out politically. People also have opinions in the area of politics and they have passions for the causes they believe in. Too bad those passions are not for Jesus Christ in the same vigor as politics. What does it take to be a good "christian citizen?"  I am finding out it takes a church willing to take a small risk, for a huge reward. That reward is: Restoration of our Christian Nation. 

How many pastors do you know that would take pot shots (no pun intended) at the likes of Hobby Lobby, Pill Roberson, or Chick Filet for standing up for what they believe in...God and this nation. When I read it I could not believe my eyes. At least we know which side of the bread they are buttered, pacifism. It all fits. There are those who don't get it: and never will, and yes, we get it that salvation is the final focus.

Well how about the two principal instructions Jesus gave us, "Glorifying God" and "Being a blessing to others."  You won't be able to do either under the new socialist state Obama and his socialist minions are trying to create. You will be lucky if you will be able to keep your Bible. Salvation is important yes, but so is the honoring God in the public square. That is what those entities are trying to do and Jesus was no pacifist, He overturned the tables in the public square and showed kings and princes how to pray.    

The tide of progressive behemoth government expansion, and the loss of liberty that comes with control of the population, is a very real concern for many Americans. Those that know a different America, are more than a little concerned: for concern alone is insufficient to make a dent in what is being stripped out of the constitution and lost, let alone "reverse a tide."

The very conditions of growth economically over the last 50 years, has been the same money that fueled the expansion of "the church" and the missions that effect so many lives. All of this was paid for by those same attendees who had the liberty to do what they needed to do to advance their personal economic conditions, and a charitable heart to see Gods kingdom advance. Churches were built, lives were saved and the cause of God reached the darkest corners of the globe, from deep inside China, to the Amazon Jungle. It was the liberty, which allowed all this to happen. Older people know what it is like to be free of Government. It means the ability and the right to "change your stars" using the line from the movie, Dark Knight.

Only God can change this "train wreck" we are headed for, but it is good and vocal people who will bring about God's favor to do so. They will do so by causing and participating in a "Great Awakening." They will ask God everyday to restore our nation: and He will for He is a forgiving God. However, if we shake our "national fist" at God a few more times and sit on the couch a bit longer, He promises he is going to rain down a judgement on our nation which will make His judgement of Egypt seem like a Sunday picnic.           

I am tired of churches, pastors and people who do not want to be truly free and are unwilling to do something to change the road we are on.  How about you?
All the best..."Ask God to change our stars"

A group of Virginia Republicans, stung by the loss of the governorship after voters this month rejected Attorney General and Tea Party leader Ken Cuccinelli, are readying what would be one of the toughest intra-party revolts yet against the anti-tax movement. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-21/virginia-republicans-organizing-to-blunt-tea-party-power.html

A group of Virginia Republicans, stung by the loss of the governorship after voters this month rejected Attorney General and Tea Party leader Ken Cuccinelli, are readying what would be one of the toughest intra-partynnti-tax movement.

The above acording to Bloomberg today.

This misdirected Republican Establishment strategy is going to backfire as tens of millions of people, voters and non-voters alike, are looking at the Tea Party as the new vehicle to return to national fiscal and moral sanity in the political arena. Like it or not, the Tea Party is the core base of the Republican Party. Perhaps the majority of the country would be a better summary of those looking for hope.

Can a house be divided and still stand? I doubt it. Count this as another RIno win for the Democratic Party.

The Republican Establishment attacking the Tea Party is like chewing off your leg because you have an itch. Once its severed off it's fairly hard to stand, let alone run. once gone you can't grow another one.

There exists many reasons why Tea Party candidates failed to win. The largest being the heavy Democratic regions located in the cess pools they call Alexandria and Richmond where the wards of the State and those feeding them at tax payer expense live.  Not to mention the thousands of contractors for the GOV which feed at the trough of never ending taxpayer money who desire to keep the trough full. If you work in Washington, you live in Virginia.  It's this hate of the new power label which is the real cause of suggesting a division in the ranks. It's a classic power move. "Kill off the new ideals before they get real perceived power." Every boardroom goes through these tactics. It's also how people in power stay that way.

At one time around the turn of the century, 1900 that is, there was only God fearing men who lived in Virginia. Now, it's hard to find God the closer you get to the Nation's Capitol, let alone Christians who practice morality. Lots of church goers, but few real Christians. The new term I am giving it is "CINO." Christians in name only.

A return to sanity is only possible when the base of the Republican Party embraces core social values, moral responsibility and public and personal accountability. The people must hold politicians accountable if they expect representation under the Republic framework of our form of government.  Otherwise the current, "listen to what I say, don't watch what I do" paradigm of bait and switch politics will continue to deliver power hungry, greedy politicians who like being called "Congressman."

Enter God. In the coming months God is going to bring the whole house down to show who really is in charge, and it isn't Man.  You won't be able to find the ones who have led us to the edge of transgression, and the nation will undoubtedly suffer for lack of most everything, from social order to basic food.

Look around.

Are things getting better or worse?

Do you feel you IRA and 401k's are safe from dilution, theft or the wrong number coming upon the wheel at the WallStret Casino?

Do you think you job is really secure?

If you like most folks, the answer to all these questions is a wimpered No. It's time to make clear and decided noise in the public square and get involved. Johnny in Washington is simply not going to work for your interests.

The next big movement is likely to be a push to abandon the current form of Goverenment in favor of some quasi-socialism. Nothing could be worse and the failures of that system are evident and clear, except to professors who buy into the draem of a totalitarian State. Why not they are tenured and you money pays for them to experiment with the brain of your child who has been conditioned at birth through public education to accept a socialist agenda.

Personal liberty and alienable rights are at stake. The framers of our Constitution gave citizens one "out"...the ability to make our needs heard over the constant and unrelenting noise of bias  media and liberial progressism.
