America in the Bible

Dear Uncle Sam,

I found your bio in the Bible:

"A worthless person, a wicked man, Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth, Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers; Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing. There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers." (Proverbs 6:12-19)

You have lied and deceived your way into every war Americans have entered since the War of 1812 - every single one. Your self flattering propaganda has served your purpose in each war. You aren't "spreading freedom" or defending us against enemies - you are spreading fear, and making our country a pariah among the nations, and are yourself an enemy of the Constitution you claim to support.

Add abortion, and you have the blood of untold millions on your hands.

So, I don't want to hold hands with you!

We, the people of America, have been bountifully blessed - IN SPITE OF YOU, NOT BECAUSE OF YOU.

I mean no offense, but when the choice is allegiance to you or to Jesus, I choose Jesus (cf. Exodus 20.3)

Lord, have mercy on your people in the midst of your righteous judgment.

Branson Tea Party Chooses Stripjoint Patron over Constitution

September 28th, 2012

Two thoughts: I miss the old Dairy Queen in downtown Branson, and Cynthia Davis is running for Lieutenant Governor.

How do those two items go together? Glad you asked!

I drove by the old DQ today. Lots of good memories. The owners of a restaurant I worked at as a teen let me drive their Cadillac to take their younger kids there for treats after a busy night.

Alas, now the old DQ has been taken over by Tera-rists. It is inaptly called "Tea Party Patriot HQ" - ostensibly the go-to place in these parts to learn all about patriotism, the Constitution, and family values. Tera Sukman reportedly paid about $200k for the property. In the name of God and country, the Tera-rists have honored Rep. Billy Long, whose idea of reducing federal spending is to vote for a $2.4 TRILLION increase to the debt ceiling, Sen. Roy Blunt, who, as a House member, got a few Republicans to join the Democrats in voting for Bush's TARP bailout, and Ron Houseman, local politician who added an extra $300k, over and above a $42k salary, of the taxpayers money to his income when he was county clerk.

And today, I noticed a huge banner for Peter Kinder, incumbent Lieutenant Governor.

That would be the same Peter Kinder whose hobby is stalking strippers.

There's a family value for you!

The Tera-rists regard Mr. Kinder as a "real" man.

Meanwhile, one of Kinder's opponents is Mrs. Davis, who as a state legislator received the Locke and Smith (as in John and Adam) award for most constitutional voting record. You'd think that would impress "Tea Party Patriots."

The "Tea Party Patriot HQ" is a fraudulent outfit, a front for the Republican Establishment.

The old DQ once served up ice cream and burgers. Now only baloney is served.

After the Kinder sign provoked me today, I googled, and sure enough this subject has been covered by the best journalist in SW Missouri:

Nobel Peace Prizee Obama orders hit on American citizen

The issue isn't whether Al-Awlaki was evil. He was.

The issue is the President ordering the killing of an American citizen without due process.

Ditto with the government killings of the Weavers and the Branch Davidians.

The Weavers celebrated Hitler's birthday. Creepy!

Trust me - my kids wouldn't be playing at their house. But that doesn't justify federal sniper Lon Horiuchi shooting Mrs. Weaver's face off as she held her child in the doorway of their home.

Probably even Hamilton would be against this; certainly Jefferson would be.

Iconic Myths Worthy of Destruction

What do these nine statements have in common?

2. Democrats are staunch defenders of the first amendment.

3. Herbert Hoover responded to the stock market crash with laissez-faire economic policies.

4. FDR lifted the country out of the Great Depression.

5. Robert E. Lee fought for the South because he wanted to preserve slavery.

6. Ulysses Grant fought for the North because he wanted to end slavery.

7. The Puritans were teetotalers.

8. The Constitution's commerce clause was always understood to authorize federal regulation of all business activity.

9. The Constitution's general welfare clause shows that the founders favored central government primacy over states' rights.

Pose these assertions as true or false questions to several randomly selected college graduates, and each will be marked "true" by the majority.

The nine assertions have this in common: they are widely believed, and completely false.
