A Whitehouse Christmas Tree

A Whitehouse Christmas Tree

By Gill Rapoza

December 26, 2009 

Before we start, I just wanted everyone to know I needed to turn on the sarcasm mode for this post.  I held it off all the way through Christmas, which was only right, but today is the day after, called “Boxing Day” in some areas outside of the US.  So here is my Boxing Day contribution. 

I see BHO celebrated Christmas with his family at that DC address he seems to live at.  Or he was there for a little bit, then went to Hawaii, where he was or was not born, depending on the paperwork you saw, or did not see.  Either way, on to our story. 

Here is a nice picture of BHO and the wife in a very pleasant picture in front of their tree. 

It is a very nice picture.  And that sure is a good looking Christmas tree in the background.  Yes, Christmas trees, they always seem to bring such pleasant thoughts. 

You wonder what BHO may have been thinking this Christmas?  And the things that were important to him?  Me too.  Lets look at the tree and see if it gives us any insights. 

Oh let’s looks at this first ornament on the tree.  A closer look may reveal who is important to BHO this year.

  

There must be some kind of mistake here.  That looked like Chairman Mao Zedong.  I remember him.  That was the Chinese Communist dictator that killed around 50 million of his own people for any reason or no reason at all.  I understand he was quite the hero to the faithful Communists. 

You say Christians were locked up and killed by this same guy for the crime of preferring Christianity?  Yes I heard the same thing.  I wonder why anyone would celebrate with this guy. 

Ok let’s look at the next one and see what is hanging on the tree. 

I had to do some research on that picture.  Never seen that one before.  I saw the gay flag below the face on the ornament, but still it rang no Christmas bells.  Then I found it.  The ornament is depicting a transvestite character called “Hedda Lettuce.”  Kidding you say?  No, I only wish. 

OK, let’s find one more bulb and see what we come up with.  The next one looks interesting. 

Ah yes, celebrating Christmas with a picture of BHO on Mount Rushmore.  And with presidents gone by and much celebrated by the American people.  And yes, I too thought Christmas was to acknowledge Christ, seeing how you can clearly see the Christ in Christmas.  Well, it was just something I noticed.  Maybe some call it Obama-mas and I was just never told about it. 

So what did we learn from all this some are asking.  Me too. 

I wonder if there were any angels harking around that tree?  If there were any at the top they may have been crying would be my first thought. 

I wonder if any Communists or transvestites were there when BHO celebrated Ramadan?  I mean not counting the ones that hang around BHO anyhow.  We did not get the pictures if they did. 

Here is what I learned.  The tree was decked with killer Mao, a drag queen, and arrogance.  I saw not a hint of a Babe in a manger.  If He was there, we were not told of Him. 

Looks like another abomination in the White House. 

Sarcasm mode: Off

God rest ye, merry gentlemen (and ladies).  I hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas.

Oh, and while we speak of pleasantries, shepherds and mangers, I have a new logo below. 

I am not a sheep, but a sheepdog! 

Godspeed,

Does Secession Without a State Militia Make Any Sense?

Does Secession Without a State Militia Make Any Sense?

by Russell D. Longcore

December 19, 2009

http://www.lewrockwell.com/longcore/longcore15.1.html

“God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” ~ Daniel Webster (1834)

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” ~ Wendell Phillips (1811–1884)

I’ve just finished reading the book Constitutional Homeland Security, Volume 1: The Nation in Arms, by Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D.

This is the definitive book on (1) how every American State has forsaken its DUTY to maintain a Militia, that force that is “necessary to the security of a Free State,” (2) how states can revitalize their Militias, and (3) how Citizen’s Homeland Security Associations (CHSA) may be organized.

This book should be read by every State governor and every State legislator in the USA. But it should be read by every citizen that desires liberty...true liberty in their lifetime.

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

Vieira devotes five of the twelve chapters in the book to the formation and operation of the CHSAs. He contends that a program of public education be instituted to inform the public of the necessity of state militias.

Citizen’s Homeland Security Associations are completely different than the “Committees of Safety” of old. The CHSA is a grass-roots organization that will build awareness in the populace in anticipation of the formation of the Committees of Safety and legislative action on re-forming state Militias.

The original Committees of Safety were composed of actual members of the States’ legislatures, recognized activists and other leaders within the States...who were appointed to the Committees by the legislatures, to serve as the legislatures’ agents and advisors, and to carry on the legislatures’ work during recesses. The Committees were never independent of the legislatures, and never carried out any plans that were not approved by the legislatures.

The chief concern of the Committees was the safety of the public: “to put the territory under their supervision in a state of defense and maintain it there effectively.”¹

The author wrote this book in 2007, and mentions that we don’t have much time to reinstitute militias in the states before societal events begin to occur that will throw America into chaos. It’s now almost three years since publication, and many of the events have taken place, while more events loom just over the horizon.

We can thank the government schools of the entire United States for the dearth of knowledge in the populace about the Constitution and the necessity of the State Militias. But what could we really expect? The very Federal government that benefits from the LACK of militias could hardly be expected to promote a concept that would diminish their power. Still, remember that the Federal Department of Education did not exist before 1980.

“Those who have been once intoxicated with power and have derived any kind of emolument from it can never willingly abandon it.” ~ Edmund Burke

So, what of the states? Education has always been a state issue. Can you think of any reasons that states would shrink from their obligation under their own state Constitutions to maintain a state militia?

How about these?

(1) State legislators and governors view themselves as servants of Washington.

(2) Maintaining a state militia is expensive. The money could be used for other purposes that would make more voters happier.

(3) Nearly 150 years have passed since the War of Northern Aggression, in which Lincoln called up the state militias to invade the Confederate States of America. So generations of state legislators have not seen a need for militias.

(4) Besides, states have a National Guard, don’t they? What’s the difference?

I’m sure there are others, but those reasons should do for now.

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.” ~ John Adams

Here are some of my own thoughts on secession and state militias.

1. Any individual who has reached the age of majority in the United States who does not own a firearm has accepted the position that they have no duty to be a part of the well-regulated Militia that is NECESSARY for the security of a Free State.

2. Any state of the fifty states that comprise the United States of America that either has enacted or will enact any legislation that infringes on the individual right to keep and bear arms has accepted the position that a well-regulated Militia is NOT NECESSARY for the security of a Free State. That state government is an enemy to liberty and a lackey of Washington.

Patrick Henry did not say, “Give me safety and security or give me death.”

3. There is seemingly very little interest in the general populace or the state governments to revitalize state militias. But there is interest coming from a restless citizenry about state secession. We must tie the two together into an inseparable bundle, as one relies upon the other.

4. Here is a forecast of how secession and militias will likely play out.

a. Economic meltdown, bank holidays, hyperinflation

b. Societal chaos, riots, rampant crime

c. Washington declares martial law and tries to clamp down

d. The grave crisis jolts states out of their slumber, and secessions begin

e. States NOW begin reformulating their militias

f. The citizenry, in full panic mode, get very focused on liberty issues

g. The United States goes the way of the Soviet Union and dissolves

This is an extremely exciting time in which to live in America. The people of the nation have been lulled to sleep over generations. The tyranny laid upon them is destructive, and any type of destructive force is based in low energy. Happily, freedom and liberty are creative forces of a very high energy level. Just like light dispels darkness, so too will liberty eventually win over tyranny. People will be drawn to the energy of liberty.

You can find Dr. Vieira’s book at Amazon.com.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?  Let them take arms.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1787

Christmas Message

Hello Family, Friends, Church Members, Former Co-workers, etc.,

As has become my habit of sending simple Christmas messages, here is the one I have for this year.

¹ Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.

² This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

³ And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.

⁴ Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

⁵ in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

⁶ While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.

⁷ And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸ In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.

⁹ And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.

¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;

¹¹ for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹² “ This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

¹³ And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”

Luke 2:1-14

Merry Christmas and Godspeed,

The Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked

Hello Everyone,

Chuck Baldwin expressed in his article below much of a similar sentiment as I possess.  He is by far not a typical American pastor.  A real likable one by my own standard, however. 

One of my own common prayers is that we make our standard closer to that of our founding fathers.  And yes I am aware, not all had the purest of motives.  There seems to be a swindler or two, or those with other motives in every group.  They are in our churches too.  The however to this is that when you read the earliest documents on the founding of this nation you can see there were enough of the good intentions of creating a nation that were had good cause to be thankful to Great God Almighty. 

May we raise the standard of a Godly nation once again.

Merry Christmas!

The Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked

By Chuck Baldwin

December 22, 2009

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2009/cbarchive_20091222.html 

As we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:

“Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? ... Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth. That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?”

Adams was exactly right: America’s birth is directly linked to the birth of our Savior. In fact, the United States of America is the only nation established by Christian people, upon Biblical principles, and dedicated to the purpose of religious liberty. This truth is easily observed within America’s earliest history.

America’s forebears first established a written covenant with God as early as November 11, 1620, when they penned The Mayflower Compact. It states in part:

“In the name of God, Amen. ... Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.”

The sentiments and statements of America’s founders make it clear that this nation has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history. No other people have such a heritage.

One thing America’s founders could not envision was—after they had paid so terrible a price to purchase our liberties—that the time would come when their posterity would be denied the basic freedoms to publicly express their reverence for God. Never could they have imagined that the day would come when citizens of the sovereign states (each with a State constitution protecting religious liberty) would be denied their right to pray in school, or place Nativity scenes on public property, or hang copies of the Ten Commandments on courthouse walls.

I am also confident that America’s founders would be completely repulsed by the way the United States has jumped headlong into corporatism, socialism, and globalism. Democrats and Republicans alike have created a central government so large that it would be unrecognizable to any Founding Father (even Alexander Hamilton or John Adams). In addition, both Big Business and Big Religion have sold our great country down the old proverbial river. Truly, our Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves.

Therefore, at this Christmas season, let us remember well the founding principles of these United States of America. Furthermore, let us renew with vigor the fight for freedom before our liberties and our heritage are gone altogether.

From my family to yours: Merry Christmas!

P.S. According to one of the most prestigious trade magazines in the firearms industry, (Handguns, February/March, 2010), “Winchester secured a Homeland Security contract for up to 200 million rounds of .40 S&W, ammo that will be used by Immigration, Customs and Enforcement [ICE].”

I dare say that there is no way that ICE could burn through 200 million rounds of handgun ammunition anytime in the foreseeable future. Good grief! They barely even load their handguns, much less actually fire them. Or are they such bad shots that they need that much practice? As someone said, “I smell a rat!” What exactly does DHS plan to do with 200 million rounds of .40-caliber ammunition? That is a question every American should want answered.

In the meantime, if you have a .40 S&W-caliber handgun, you might want to stock up on ammo now, because price is fixing to skyrocket and availability is fixing to dwindle—again. As they say, a word to the wise.

Happy New Year! It should be a very interesting one.

Everyone Defies Laws

Everyone Defies Laws

Posted on 18 December 2009

by Timothy Baldwin

http://libertydefenseleague.com/liberty/2009/12/18/everyone-defies-laws/

In response to my one of my articles, “Hope for Financial Freedom,” I had a concerned American citizen correspond with me about the subject. He asked me a few questions which I feel are important enough to address publicly, because undoubtedly, there are many similar-thinking Americans who perhaps have not thought this fully through. Before I state the questions, let me explain why the questions were asked in the first place. As many American patriots are now advocating, the only viable way to resist federal tyranny is through the active sovereign powers of the States. This necessarily means, as I have explained for months, that the States must use the powers given to them by their sovereigns (the people)–and retained to them in the tenth amendment of the US Constitution–to pass laws which actively nullify, negate or refute unconstitutional federal laws and taxation within the sovereign borders of those States. Some people are looking at this scenario and asking what this gentleman asked me, as follows:

“[Do you advocate for the States to do this] even if this means defying federal law?–even if it means war? Why do you want to chart a path that leads to an outcome that you cannot win? For defiance of federal law and war are losing propositions.”

To these questions, I unashamedly respond as follows:

I ask to you, do you propose that we submit to unconstitutional usurpations by the federal government upon our God-given natural rights, state retained powers and constitutional-republic securities? Shortly put, that submission is slavery. Do you propose that we accept the form of government forced upon us in 2009 which the state ratifiers expressly rejected in 1787? That shocks the conscience (not to mention our forefathers’) as reprehensible and cowardice. The problem is, many of the states are scared of the federal government, even with the knowledge that the federal government is illegitimate, has usurped state powers and has no good will to comply with its limitations in the US Constitution and with the principles requisite to maintain a constitutional federal republic–much less, to comply with the laws of nature and nature’s God as expressed by our founders. Lines in the sand will eventually be drawn: freedom requires it.

I do not want violent revolution any more than a 90 year old great-grandmother would, or a soon-to-be first-time mother would, or a father would who has three wonderful children who have yet to grow up, or a child would who enjoys the companionship of his friends. It is the natural desire of man to live in peace. Unfortunately, peace is a luxury given only to those societies whose government complies with its bounds. So, who decides that the question of revolution be considered?–us or them? Is the decision pressed to be made by those who want freedom and who just desire that the government limit its actions to the confines of a constitution; or is it made by those, in total disregard of the principles of free constitutional federal republics, encroaching the trusts and rights of the people of the states–those sovereigns who formed this union and ratified the US Constitution? Who is the aggressor?–the citizen who desires peace and the rule of law, or the usurper whose actions can only be described as tyrannical and despotic? Our conscience confirms the answer. The real question is, who is willing to use the principles, character and nature of constitutional government which the States formed in 1787 to resist tyranny and to secure freedom for them and their posterity.

Federal law is not God’s law. Federal law is not even the Supreme Law of the Land. The only Supreme Law of the Land (to this date) is those laws that are passed pursuant to the constitution—and by constitution, this means not only the US Constitution, but also the State constitutions. Our founders stated emphatically: unconstitutional laws are null and void and have no effect.

Where the federal government assumes power that was given to the state governments by the people of those States, should the States sit back passively and let unconstitutional federal laws dictate to the state governments and to the people what they will do or not do? Any State willing to shirk the trust placed into their hands by the people is as guilty of treason as those federal tyrants who have trampled on those protections, powers and rights. State response should be in direct proportion to federal encroachments. Without this formula actively used, the tyrant always prevails.

You speak of defiance. This is true, for everyone defies laws. The only question is, which laws are you going to defy: constitutional laws or unconstitutional laws. If you choose to submit to unconstitutional laws, you defy the Supreme Law of the Land found in the US Constitution and the State constitutions. If our federal government decides to declare war on the states who choose to live in freedom, then so be it. As for “winning,” the colonists were never supposed to win the war in 1776 either. Thankfully, they believed that “duty is ours; and results are God’s.” In the end, we should let God in heaven be the judge of our actions here on earth. I, for one, choose freedom over slavery, even if that means defying federal laws.

What Is Obama’s Legacy His First Year?

What Is Obama’s Legacy His First Year?

Dr. Laurie Roth

December 17th, 2009

http://therothshow.com/2009/12/what-is-obamas-legacy-his-first-year/

We are playing with a constitutional meltdown and it is not just because Obama was most likely born in another country.  It is because the Federal Government has no constitutional right to mandate health care on the America people.  Though the drama queens continue to fight, negotiate, and argue, most of them in the House and Senate want a Government option of some kind that forces health care on all Americans.  Some of these wanna be politicians want heavy fines including prison time if you don’t do what they demand with their rationed health care program.  We think we have overcrowded prisons now?  Harry Reid is saying there will be a vote by Christmas Eve.  Pelosi boldly announced there would be no vote before Christmas and I’m certain President Obama has called the psychic hot line to try and figure out what he should say in his state of the Union speech.  You know, the speech read on a teleprompter that outlines Obama’s legacy and accomplishments his first year. 

I can write it for him

He should be proud.  There is certainly much to talk about.  He got the Nobel Peace prize.  He is in the bold company of other heroic recipients such as Al Gore and Yasser Arafat.  Obama must have been given the prize for giving 900 million to Hamas and saying Amidinajad had the right to go nuclear.

Obama has also shown us amazing humility and great breeding in that he knows how to say sorry.  I lost count as to how many times he has apologized for America abroad to numerous, international governing bodies.  He seems sorry for our history and sorry for our being a light of freedom.  Shame on us.  How can I forget…..he is also sorry we are a Christian nation and tells the world we are not.

Back to thinking about his speech

He should be proud to have spear headed a bunch of lying morons in the science and political world who falsified global warming data, manipulated and destroyed it…..then were hacked into and caught with their hot little pants down.  Here our President is in Copenhagen talking about the world melt down when the whole world now knows beyond doubt that it is a total hoax and criminal fraud.  I’m just wondering what he thought he was going to sign based on all this mad magazine science.  Perhaps he should rush home and force cap and trade through.  Maybe Obama could have Al Gore open up before his state of the Union talk.  It would be most inspiring.  Lets have a moment of silence.

The other big chunk of Obama’s legacy he wanted signed, no doubt before his big speech, is Government health care.  Don’t you just love the lies when he declared this week the US will go bankrupt if this health bill doesn’t pass.  This country might go bankrupt alright but mainly because he and this congress are spending us into bankruptcy.

I’m wondering if this health albatross gets signed into existence if part of Obama’s legacy won’t be that he shredded the US constitution and bill of rights!  The truth of the matter is our Government will cause a fire storm of law suits, clear up to the Supreme court if they seduce themselves into thinking they or the President have the right to order everyone on health care……or else.  Even the Congressional Budget Office who was asked how a mandate should be treated for budgetary purposes said:

“A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action.  The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States.”

Jay Sekulow, chief council for American Center for Law & Justice www.aclj.org says that an….”individual mandate’ will trigger many legal challenges that ultimately will come before the Supreme Court.  The ultimate question that the high court will have to face: can Congress regulate a person simply for existing – absent some other activity?”

Let’s try and wrap up this legacy so far: Obama wants a forced federal, unconstitutional health care bill that would threaten people and send them to prison if they didn’t comply.  He wants abortions paid in this bill by all people, with Doctors/hospitals forced to give them.  He wants our seniors made to sit through end of life counseling sessions, rationing and long lines.  I guess this must be a reward for their faithful service to our country.

He also desperately wants the Cap and trade/global warming bill signed to create the other huge vehicle of national control.  That would be control of our businesses, accounts, lives and freedoms.

Just what is our President going to say with his State of the Union speech?  Fortunately he doesn’t have to think or speak on his feet since he will be reading from the Obama teleprompter, no doubt a speech written by one or more of his communistic czars.

Is there anything of achievement I have forgotten?  Be generous during the Christmas season Laurie………..oh yes, Obama thinks the Star Spangled banner is too violent sounding and would prefer “I’d like to teach the world to sing.”  No comment.

Jihad in America: How to Behead 101

Hello All,

The next time someone starts howling about “right wing militia” in America, you will have something different to think about.  Perhaps you will be able to share this info as well.

And I know I am not the only one reading this that wonders why there is no big ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, or even Janet Napolitano (who was so worried about “veterans who are prone to violence”) making a big stink about it.  Why, is it because it is not politically correct?  You can bet on that one! 

I want you to keep in mind that these radical Muslims are saying it is already their country.  They have 35 compounds according to the report.  I don’t know of any “right wing” group with anything like this. 

Thanks to Pamela Geller for posting this on her blog first, http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.  She often has good stuff, so I might as well give her a plug. 

9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard?  When will you arise from your sleep?

10 “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”—

11 Your poverty will come in like a vagabond, And your need like an armed man.

Proverbs 6:9-11

Anyone awake out there? 

Godspeed,

Jihad in America: How to Behead 101

Posted by Pamela Geller

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 02:35 PM

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/12/jihad-in-america-how-to-behead-101.html

This is here in America while we stand around and watch. Whose throat are they planning on slitting? When?

Chilling’ new video: How to slit throats WND

Jihad maneuvers taught at New York compound

A new video released by the Christian Action Network shows Muslim women at a compound in New York state practicing throat-slitting techniques and assault weapons attacks.

The video was distributed by the makers of the movie “Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.,” which documents how a jihadist group has developed dozens of training camps across the nation.

WND reported at the time how Jamaat ul-Fuqra has built 35 compounds – mostly in the northeastern corridor of the U.S.

Now the organization has posted on YouTube a “chilling” training video provided to CAN by an unnamed law enforcement source about the Muslims of America headquarters in Hancock, New York.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebg6AFylios&feature=player_embedded

The video shows women marching in military formation, scaling walls, engaging in hand-to-hand combat and also reveals a Muslim confirming that the organization’s own census revealed that Muslims are a majority in the United States and they are claiming it as their own.

The speaker states, “We are 100 percent sure that Muslims are the majority in America.”

He continues, “Our Islamic political party has based its manifesto on this fact. We want to declare once and for all that America is our country.”

According to CAN, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2005 warned about Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani-based organization that “had the capacity to attack” America.

The U.S. State Department’s 1998 “Patterns of Global Terrorism” report notes the organization “seeks to purify Islam through violence.”

The report continued, “Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practice their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam.”

CAN, led by Martin Mawyer, has researched Muslims of America for years and has provided its video to the FBI, State Department and Homeland Security.

To date, there has been no response from the government, the group said.
