When government replaces God

Article by Truth Speaker Patrice Lewis, found here:

Americans used to roar like lions for liberty; now we bleat like sheep for security.– Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993)

Recently I saw a bumper sticker I hope was a joke. It said, “Who needs God? We’ve got Congress.”

Whether or not the bumper sticker was meant to be humorous, the sad fact is America has largely supplanted God with government. Or at least we’re moving steadily in that direction.

You see, when we looked to God to provide our needs, we knew He was unlikely to hand us a loaf of bread on a silver platter. The best we could hope for was the weather to stay fine so our wheat could grow to maturity; that the combine wouldn’t break down during harvest; that the truck didn’t stall while transporting the wheat to the mill; and that the supply chain didn’t falter while getting the ground flour to the grocery store so the housewife could buy the flour to make bread for her family’s dinner.

In other words, when we trusted in God, we worked hard to provide what we needed. But when we trust in government, we demand that it give us our daily bread. For free. Whether we’ve worked for it or not. After all, isn’t bread a right? 

One of the things that irks me about the attitude of progressives is the endless list of “rights” they manufacture out of thin air. They claim we have the “right” to food, housing, medical care, education, employment, abortion, etc. But here’s the distinction between true rights and false rights: True rights do not cost anyone else.

True rights derive from God, and those rights grant us the freedom and liberty to pursue our needs free from government interference and restrictions (within the bounds of the founding documents). False rights mean we point guns at people and force them to provide us with food, housing, medical care, education, employment, abortion, etc., at their expense.

Naturally this doesn’t mean there won’t be dumb people who do dumb things. Someone will always shoot themselves in the foot (literally). In the past when citizens knew their rights, our response was: “Well, he was an idiot to shoot himself in the foot. Maybe he learned a lesson.” Now we say, “Well, he was an idiot to shoot himself in the foot. We need to ban firearms so no one else ever shoots himself in the foot.”

In other words, in an effort to protect citizens from the occasional idiot, we legislate everyone. We allow emotionalism to become policy. The government loves that. It wants to protect us. It wants to grant us the “rights” of food, medical care and education. But make no mistake, the only reason the government is such an enthusiastic provider of “rights” is so it can become our master.

As government ascends in importance, the need for God retreats. We no longer beseech the Almighty for help in achieving our goals. Instead, we turn to Congress to provide us with whatever we don’t want to bother achieving on our own

Americans have come to believe everything should be “fair” and all playing fields should be level. But of course when government tries to impose fairness on us, it results in a profoundly unfair redistribution of our labor, resources and income. (“Spreading the wealth” is the current term.)

And because we’ve allowed emotionalism to become policy, we’ve become a nation of victims. It’s much easier to whine about our “rights” and claim that others are responsible for providing us with the things we “deserve” than it is to work for those things ourselves.

When we implore God to provide us with a place to live, we don’t expect a mighty celestial hand to drop a house key in front of us. Instead, we work our butts off at our job, save money for a down payment, keep our credit history clean and pray these efforts will convince a banker to loan us the money to buy a house.

But when government replaces God, we claim housing is a “right” that should be provided to us regardless of our efforts or worthiness to own that house. We expect and demand immediate fulfillment.

In other words, when the achievement of happiness takes the place of the pursuit of happiness – when we demand that the government make everything “fair” – then that government has replaced God.

But what, a progressive may ask, is wrong with that? Why not look to our government to provide us with our food, housing, medical care and education?

Consider this quote from Christine Smith: “We thrive when we work for what we achieve rather than having it given to us. The foundations which made this nation strong are being destroyed as families lose economic independence, send their children to failing government schools, and pay taxes for programs that destroy personal autonomy and wreak havoc worldwide. And as people suffer, they mistakenly look to government to solve their problems.”

John Rackliffe writes, “Welfare programs, Social Security and other government entitlements have increased the need for the collection of more taxes, putting pressure on the middle class to pay for the programs for the poor. What God and the founders did to bring people together, the Progressive movement and a growing government has undone, driving people apart across an economic divide that grows wider with each passing year.”

When we look to God for help, then we must by definition regulate our own actions. We become a self-disciplined people. But when we depend on the government to regulate us, we surrender the ability to regulate ourselves.

As long as we permit government to replace God, we will never ever regain the former stature of our nation. We will become, to paraphrase Peale, sheep bleating for security rather than lions roaring for liberty. We will continue our descent from proud Americans to whiny brats demanding endless entitlements.

If we pray to God for strength in these troubling times, He will give it. Praying to the government is worse than useless; it’s perilous.

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

I received the following in an email: 

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ  
 
 
The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.
 
 
REMEMBER AS YOU READ — IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez 
 
I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz … We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. 

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. 
 
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride. 
 
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
 
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
 
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
 
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe .

Now, how can anyone in their right mind not see the truth in this? Don’t want to face the truth? Then expect one lie after another grabbing hold of your life and throwing you in bondage.

Paint it Black

Short little video showing us how unemployment has gone up just within two years. Want to know what is scarey about this? Sooner or later, those areas in black, will end up doing whatever they need to do in order to keep getting their welfare, etc. My suggestion? Start buying groceries and stocking up and do NOT use a check. And those little cards some stores give that you scan that give you the discounts? May want to think about not even using them, because at some point they will use that info to see what all you have bought and when government finally takes over food supply (whenever that will be) all they have to do is see who bought what and…. use your imagination.

Think it can’t happen in America? Wrong.

I know, I may be sounding a false warning, never-the-less, this WILL take place someday. God knows when.

While the American church goes after their gods…

You will not see the following on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN or even FOX network. Instead they all — icluding the whore network, FOX, have our attentions on what THEY want us to be focusing on.

While the apostate church in america with it’s pimps and whores are fleecing the sheep, while the sheeple go after God for greed and gain, THIS is what is going on in other parts of the world.

It is soooo good to know Islam is such a religion of peace. (Said sarcastically for those who have trouble knowing the truth from a lie.)

Excuse me while I blow off some steam here: But wake the hell up those of you who are in the liberal mindset AND those of you in the harlot that calls herself the Church!

New Report: Sharia Law a Threat to USA (9.15.10)

“Under Sharia, it is the obligation of the followers to impose that law on others.”

Other religions do not have that same component. Really????? No kidding. I sure hope all you people that hate Christians and Jesus so much will some day open your eyes and see who your real enemy is. I and others like myself are not out to force you to believe anything, but wait, there is one religion that will. Let’s see…who can it be????? Does Islam rign a bell to anyone? WAKE UP you God haters! 

“According to Sharia, every faithful Muslim is obligated to wage  jihad  (whether violent or not) against those who do not adhere to this comprehensive, totalitarian, political miliatary code.” 

My words of comfort to my real brothers and sisters: When the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords return, HE will establish TRUE justice. HE has the government upon HIS shoulders and HE will make war with those who have hated Him and who have hated truth. So be it and Lord come quickly!

OmniChristianVids2 | September 15, 2010
A panel of national security experts has issued a new report that states the Obama Administration is ignoring the threat Sharia Law poses to the United States.

Obama is ignoring it!!!!!!!! We can’t afford to!

Joys of Muslim Women

I received the following in an email sometime ago:

This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.

This is not heresy, and it will scare the life out of you.
Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.

Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives ‘at will’ and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.
Ripping the West in Two.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .

When he died, he was considered a “shahid,” a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law – what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one’s children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics – one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It’s hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

(In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so… You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one… and there are others…)

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America.

If this does not make you angry in some way ot the other, there is something seriously wrong with you.

Freedom of worship or not? NOT

In light of what obama said about being an American: it is one of “faith.” One would have to ask WHAT faith? I know the “faith” he speaks of. It is a new “faith.” It is called the new thought, new one world religion where everything is allowed but Christianity and Judasim. They want to shove their dung down our throats, tell it is it is good and expect us to swallow it! I spit it back out at them! I will NEVER EVER swallow their dung! Not ever!

Wake up! We are not to bow to this manipulating double speak!

Church, we are NOT to bow to these people. NEVER! Let me say it again — NEV—-VER!

Hillary Clinton is ANOTHER traitor to freedom!

Thanks to the person that made me aware of the following!

Following gotten here:

http://www.colsoncenter.org/the-center/the-chuck-colson-center/two-minute-warning

Chuck Colson is sounding the alarm: The government—at the highest levels—may be attempting to redefine the very meaning of religious freedom. If what Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said in a recent speech reflects a new direction in government policy, it seems the aim is clear: To kick faith out of the public square, to send Christians into the closet.

OBAMA THREATENS 14 US GOVERNORS WITH IMMEDIATE ARREST FOR TREASON???

If this is true, it has yet to hit the major news networks. Why? I don’t know. I do know that Obama is in bed with the liberal media (even though, even they seem to be falling out of love with him) and even conservative media have their whores who compromise the truth. 

I believe, though I am not sure, the original article comes from the EUTimes. However, anytime, I tried to get on the site, my computer acted up badly. So, if you try, you may want to be aware of that. I was however able to find the article here also:

This is a REAL letter which was posted at   Congress.org This is NOT a “conspiracy theory” a “false flag” or the writing of a paranoid person. We must open our eyes and see what is really happening and we cannot fear what people say. Those are the ones who wish to stifle our freedom of speech as well as others. Our governor here in Alabama is also threatened. To verify that this is, in fact, real please see Congress.org Obama Threatens 14 U.S. Governors With Charges of Treason

Obama Threatens 14 US Governors With Immediate Arrest

A chilling report from the Foreign Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) prepared for Prime Minister Putin warns today that United States President Barack Obama has had served on 14 US Governors National Security Letters (NSLs) warning that if their actions in attempting to form what are called State Defense Forces are not halted they will face “immediate” arrest for the crime of treason.

RedeemedHippie:[Those of us with a brain know who the REAL traitors in this nation are. And they are NOT these governors!]

The use of NSLs in the United States was authorized by the Patriot Act law enacted after the September 11, 2001 attacks and forbids anyone receiving them from even acknowledging their existence, and was reauthorized by Obama’s “rubberstamp” Congress this past February over the objections of both civil and human rights groups who warned they mimic similar type “government security notices” enacted under both the former German Nazi and Soviet Communist regimes.

To the issue angering Obama against these State Governors, this report continues, is their attempt to reestablish what are called State Defense Forces which are described as follows:

“State Defense Forces (SDF) (also known as State Guards, State Military Reserves, or State Militias) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government; they are not regulated by the National Guard Bureau nor are they part of the Army National Guard of the United States.

RedeemedHippie:[In other words: these states want the right to protect their borders. Especially when the libs care NOTHING about protecting the american citizens.] 

State Defense Forces are authorized by state and federal law and are under the command of the governor of each state. State Defense Forces are distinct from their state’s National Guard in that they cannot become federal entities.

The federal government recognizes State Defense Forces under 32 U.S.C. § 109 which provides that State Defense Forces as a whole may not be called, ordered, or drafted into the Armed Forces of the United States, thus preserving their separation from the National Guard.”

Important to note is that Obama, as President of the United States is also its most powerful military leader known by the term of Commander in Chief, and is authorized by the Militia Act of 1903 to federalize his individual States National Guard Forces putting them under his command, something he does not have the power to do with State Defense Forces.

Obama’s fear of these State Defense Forces, this report says, rests with his not having power over them, and with the bulk of the US Military Forces he does control being stretched to near breaking with the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would leave these State military forces under the control of these Governors in “defacto control” of the United States.

The two US Governors spearheading this rebellion against Obama, this report states, are the Republican opposition party Governors of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty and Texas, Rick Perry; both of whom have a deep fear their President is destroying their Nation.

RedeemedHippie:[He IS destroying this nation!]

Governor Pawlenty’s fear of Obama is that since he took office he has appeased America’s enemies while at the same time shunning some of America’s most stalwart allies, especially Israel. Governor Pawlenty recently castigated Obama for abandoning the US missile defense plan for Europe by saying, “The lessons of history are clear: Appeasement and weakness did not stop the Nazis, did not stop the Soviets, and did not stop the terrorists before 9/11. We must stand strong with allies like Israel and eastern Europe in the face of growing challenges to our national security.”

Governor Perry has blasted Obama and warned his fellow Texans that the President is “hell bent on socialism” and is punishing his State by dumping tens-of-thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants into their cities and small towns. Governor Perry further warned Texans that that if “Barack Obama’s Washington doesn’t stop being so oppressive, Texans might feel compelled to renounce their American citizenry and secede from the union.”

Redeemedhippie:[Right on, Texas!]

Note: Following the end of the Civil War the rights of the individual US States to succeed from the Union was heard by their Supreme Court in a case called Texas v. White (1869) and who ruled that the Constitution did not permit States to secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding States intended to give effect to such ordinances, were “absolutely null”. However, the decision did allow some possibility of divisibility “through revolution, or through consent of the States.”

RedeemedHippie:[A revolution is brewing. It is one of where people are waking up to this regime.]

Obama, in fearing a revolution against him by the States, this report continues, has moved swiftly against them, including nationalizing nearly all National Guard Forces in Governor Pawlenty’s Minnesota in what is being described as their State’s largest call up of troops since World War II. Other reports coming from the United States are stating that Obama has also nationalized the National Guard forces in Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, and perhaps Texas too.

Though Obama may have taken from these dissident States their National Guard forces, the Governors of the States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia still have under their sole command their State Defense Forces to go against US Federal forces.

Important to note in this report is its stating that there are no US laws prohibiting National Guard troops from also joining their State’s Defense Forces, but would create a dilemma for those soldiers should they be called to service by them both at the same time. This dilemma occurred for many American soldiers during their Civil War with the great majority of them choosing to serve their States instead of the Federal Government.

To Governor Pawlenty’s fears of Obama appeasing America’s enemies, while at the same time harming its longstanding allies, their remains no doubt as during this past week alone he has put Israel’s security in grave danger by releasing previously classified US documents relating to their nuclear programme, while at the same time removing sanctions on Russian arms makers supplying Iran. And in a move that even Russian military analysts are calling “insane”, Obama this week said he has decided to pre-announce to the World once-secret American ballistic missile tests and satellite launches.

RedeemedHippie:[This man is a traitor to America of the worst kind! May GOD remove him from office!]

To Governor Perry’s fears of Obama socializing the United States their remains no doubt either, and as we can read as reported yesterday by the USA Today News Service:

“Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.

At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010.

Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs.”

And in an even worse move against his own people who are still struggling to survive the growing Global economic collapse, new reports from the United States are stating that a “secret” programme found hidden in Obama’s socialist healthcare law called the Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act (CLASS Act) is about to take from them another $150-$250 a month from their paychecks forcing tens of millions more of them into abject poverty and debt slavery.

To the final outcome of these events it is not in our knowing, other than to remind these Americans of Dr. Igor Panarin’s 2008 prediction of the fate lying in store for them, and as we can read as reported by London’s Telegraph News Service in their article titled “US will collapse and break up, Russian analyst predicts”, and which says:

“Igor Panarin, a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign affairs ministry, said the economic turmoil in the US had confirmed his long-held belief that the country was heading for extinction in its present form.

In an interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia, he outlined how the US would divide along ethnic and cultural lines.

They are: the Pacific coast with its growing Chinese population; the increasingly Hispanic South; independence-minded Texas; the Atlantic Coast; a central state with a large Native American population; and the northern states where – he maintains – Canadian influence is strong.

Alaska could be claimed by Russia, he said, claiming that the region was “only granted on lease, after all”.

He said the country’s break-up would be accelerated by rising unemployment and Americans losing their savings.

“The dollar isn’t secured by anything. The country’s foreign debt has grown like an avalanche; this is a pyramid, which has to collapse,” said Prof Panarin.”

And to those Americans believing they will be able to defend themselves against the fast approaching onslaught meant to destroy them they should think again, for even as these words are being written, Obama, through the United Nations, is preparing to disarm them all under the so called UN Treaty On Arms Control that he ordered his government to sign.

The late great American dissident comedian George Carlin once said, “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it”….one can only hope these poor souls will awaken from their long slumber before all is lost.

Redeemedhippie:[This commie pig and his demonic counterparts need to be booted out of office! Wake up, America we are going down! Run from the churches that are preaching to you peace and prosperity! Run from those who go after other gods -- that would include government that would seek to enslave you by making you dependent upon them! Lest you become just like them!]

The Truth about Black, Folks Mr. President

If you got something to say about this, like calling me a racist or something, take a closer look at the skin color of the man speaking. Pastor Manning is a truth speaker. If you don’t like what he has to say, then move on. I will not waste my time trying to defend myself with you. You either have a desire for truth or you do not.

ALERT! Pneumonic Plague in Iowa???

PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOLLOWING, PLEASE POST A COMMENT. THANK YOU.

http://www.kcci.com/news/21670309/detail.html

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa has officially recorded 21 H1N1 deaths, including seven in Polk County alone. But the county’s medical examiner said he has performed autopsies on some residents who were never diagnosed with H1N1, but actually had it.

“In the autopsy, what we’re seeing is very heavy, wet hemorrhagic lungs, lungs with a lot of blood in them,” said Dr. Gregory Schmunk.

He said the official count of seven H1N1 deaths is inaccurate, but patient rights laws prohibit him from giving specific numbers.

He said there are two reasons for the discrepancy. First, not all sick patients get tests and second, the virus is difficult to detect. Some patients may be too sick to receive the most accurate H1N1 test.

“They’re not always done and it can be hazardous to the patient if they’re in a respiratory critical situation,” Schmunk said.

He also said that some tests reveal a false negative.

“Because of our limitations on testing, sometimes the tests aren’t positive,” he said. “They do appear to fit clinically the course of a H1N1 viral-type pneumonia.”

He said the cases he’s seen in Polk County were all middle-aged adults with a few underlying health conditions.

“These may be the patients that are obese,” Schmunk said. “Obesity restricts your ability to breathe and clear the virus from your upper respiratory.”

He also said that some of the patients had diabetes.

Schmunk said his urging people to get the vaccine.

“The thing that concerns me the most is, you still have people out there they believe that if I get the vaccine, the shot, then I’m going to get the flu,” he said. “You can’t get the flu from the shot.”

RedeemedHippie:[Are you willing to take that chance?]

He said that in the meantime, remember to wash your hands, sneeze into your sleeve and stay home if you’re sick. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said one person who goes to work sick with the virus will infect 10 percent of his or her co-workers.

WAR ON HUMAN LIFE: A WARNING

PLEASE WATCH AND LEARN! MARXISM IS COMING! AT LEAST OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE IT! YOU CAN NOT SAY YOU WERE NOT WARNED! 

SACRAMANIACSmc:

Concerning the climate change agenda:”The purpose is to destroy the family, the purpose is to take away you rights.”

“Socialism believes if they needed to kill you so ten people can live, they would. Regardless of how good you were or whether you have done anything wrong.”

Under the new system that’s to come, private property will be eliminated as will personal vehicle ownership. People will be herded like cattle into cities, while much of the land outside of these areas will be off limits to the public. These compact cities will be called “habitat areas.”

“Obama is trying to put us all under the control of the world court… things that are illegal in the world court; fire arm ownership, disciplining your children, talking about any piece of your religion that may be offensive to someone else and believe me, the gay activist community is offended by every word of the Bible…It is Marxism people, and Marxism wants to take over the world.”

Chinese Socialist Defense Minister: “Like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization. Therefore solving the issue of America is the key to solving all other issues. First this makes it possible to have many people migrate there. And even establish another China under the same leadersip of the Chinese communist party.

“You should make sure that the ammo shells in every store you go in, you do your part to empty them because there won’t be a resupply and you will need them to fight what is coming. Your gonna need six months worth of food cause they are coming. Their framework of global warning is a proven hoax now, but they have used it to set up their frame for world government…you better wake up.”

American’s RIGHTS STRIPPED During Hurricane Katrina!

Do not be so naive to think this will not or can not happen to any of us. All it takes is a “crisis” that this government wants to create and we are next. WAKE UP!

Government came in and STOLE guns from the innocent. Government came and FORCED people out of their home! Government came and beat the innocent!

Thugs get away with everything, but the innocent are the ones targeted! Only NWO cowardly pig cops could do such a thing! And this was under Bush?! Can you imagine what it will be like with Obama, the commie leader!?

“They didn’t care what your rights were. They were going to deny them.”

Written on sidebar: This video will SETTLE the issue. Remember when he and his campaign DENIED his Muslim connection? Remember when using his middle name was forbidden in the campaign for fear that it might emphasize his Muslim roots? This film tells a different story.

Hear Obama proclaim his Muslim heritage, faith, knowledge of the Koran – his love for Islam – his quoting of the Koran. Hear him proclaim that the USA is NOT a Christian nation. Hear him and see him as he extols the wonderful virtues of the Muslim faith and the Muslim impact upon the “beautiful” things of the world. (Something he has NEVER done concerning the USA or the Christian faith.) Watch it till the end for a rather dramatic and shocking conclusion.

Healthcare bill gets passed — Prepare to go to jail!

Prepare for many things. Preapre to go to jail if you do not buy government healthcare. Prepare to wait for months for treatment. Prepare not to get treated at all if you are one of the ones they deem not important enough. After all Robert Reich said, “we’re gonna let you die.”

Following article gotten here: http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153583

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail.  The JCT letter  makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

In response to the JCT letter, Camp said:  “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail.  It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

                                                         - – - – - – - – - -    
                                                

“Criminal penalties

Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses.  Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]

When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties.  The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.

“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration.  Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates.  Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare,” said Camp.

According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.
