So, Obama said he is not buying into the idea that we will always have the poor with us.  I am going to set aside the fact that this ‘Christian’ just tried to over rule Christ’s own words and ask you to look just at the utter stupidity of Obama’s assertion.  Remember, it is not the word that defines, but the form and function: the nature of something is what defines it.  So, what is it that defines ‘poor?’  It is not so much the amount of money you have, but whether or not the amount of money you have will provide for your basic living needs.  Now, let’s apply that to Obama’s claim that we can rid the world of poverty.

Does the title of this post offend you?  If it does, you are a racist!  Now, how did that feel?  Now how does it feel to know it is true?  I’ll explain, but it won’t change the fact that you may well be a racist.

Today, May 13, at approximately 1020 CST, on his radio program, Glenn Beck got as close as I have ever heard him get to the Truth about God.  Beck said that the only thing that matters is not religion, but God.  He said we need to stop focusing on religion and start focusing on and trusting in God.  With these words, he is so close, yet, sadly,  he is still an infinity away from the Truth.  The reason he misses the mark is simple.  Beck is promoting the ideal behind this popular bumper-sticker:

The problem is that the ideal behind this message is religion, not God.  Worse, it is an anti-God religion.  Now the question you must answer is this:

“Do you know why this message is anti-God?” Continue reading “TRUTH: So Close — Yet So Far” →

How many times have you heard people say, or seen it inferred that without a certain piece of paper, you are unqualified to do or comment on something?  The unspoken assumption in these cases is that, without some school or government agency bestowing their stamp of approval on you, you do not know anything.  Well, I am going to tell you straight out that those who believe this are either gullible people who have been duped or they are using this assumption as a tactic to silence you.  Why do I say this?  Well, first, it is a matter of simple logic.  Going to school does not make one an ‘expert’ anymore than lacking a degree makes one ignorant.  But I have a perfect example for you.  Here, take this test: Continue reading “So Much For The ‘Experts’” →

Michelle Obama delivered a graduation speech to the 2015 graduating class at Tuskegee University.  In doing so, she demonstrated what a racist looks like — HER!

Now, before you make the mistake of labeling me a racist, I suggest you read the rest of this post. Continue reading “LESSONS IN LOGIC: Anatomy of A Racist” →

I had a reader scold me because of my position on homosexuality and gay marriage.  This reader told me that I do not understand God’s Word and they will pray for me that God may change my heart so that I can find a way to serve God and my fellow man with love.  If you are of like mind with this reader, may I ask you to please do me a favor?  If you believe the same way as this reader, please do not pray that God will make me like you.  I have enough trouble trying to be obedient without you adding to my burdens.  Besides, I never want to hate someone so much that I would make them comfortable in their sin, worse still, that I would do it in the name of Christ.  However, I will pray that those who believe as this reader will come to understand why I reject such prayers.  If you allow me, I’ll even try to explain it to you (and, hopefully, to this particular reader, as well).

If you read my blog posts, you will run across a repeating theme: that those who call themselves ‘Liberal/progressive’ are irrational.  I still believe this, all the more because the proof of my assertion is displayed daily in the ‘main stream’ media.  But there is more to this story that I have never told my readers.  I think it is time I do so, because it is directly related to why we should reject what the ‘politically correct’ crowed is saying and doing.  So, if you have a moment, I want to share a story with you, then explain how it is related to the politically correct agenda of the modern American Left.

Glenn Beck has announced that he is writing a book about Islam that is due to be released this summer.  I strongly suggest this book will be a waste of your time and money on your part.  I say this because Glenn keeps trying to create something that does not exist.  Today, Glenn continued trying to make a ‘good’ Islam and a ‘radical’ Islam.  This is proof positive that Beck simply does not understand Islam.  So, one more time, let me try to explain what Beck is missing. Continue reading “TRUTH: Glenn Has It Wrong — AGAIN!” →

For years, I have tried to warn people that America was heading down the same path Germany traveled in the 1930’s.  I still believe this to be true, but — lately — I see evidence that Obama and those supporting him are trying to push us more in the direction of Stalinist Russia.  The Baltimore riots are evidence of this trend.

We no longer teach history.  If we did, then I would not have to write this post.  Everyone who saw this story would already know that the only difference between the world Bill Gates dreams of and that which Hitler wanted is a border.

I cannot remember the last story I saw in the news that so perfectly and completely illustrates the problems created by the politically correct agenda as that of the Pam Geller/Muhammad cartoon contest/Texas shooting story.  I just wonder how many Americans can see everything this story holds and, of those who can still see and understand it, how many have bothered to take enough time to reflect on it so that they can see it all?  It was this question that prompted this post: not whether or not people will understand, but do they even care anymore?  I do not wish to presume anything about you, my dear reader.  So, if you will allow me, I will address as much of this story as I can as though I am talking to myself.  Please read this post in that light: as a conversation between me and the man in my mirror.

This is a series dedicated to a critical examination of what the politically correct agenda actually means for our society.

Have you heard Obama and the rest of the politically correct echo chamber trying to convince you that taxes are charity?  Do you suppose these people even know that charity is a voluntary action and taxes are involuntary?  Oh, sure, they will tell you that you do not have to pay taxes, but then they will take away your ability to live without charity, which must come from taxes.  Do you see how the absurdity of their reasoning works?

But maybe — even though it is crude — it would be better to explain it this way.  If forcing people to pay taxes is ‘charity,’ then how is it that rape is not ‘free love?’  I mean, weren’t these hippie re-treads pushing the PC agenda into that ‘free love’ stuff back in their day?  So why wouldn’t they agree that rape is to free love as taxes are to charity?

This is a series dedicated to a critical examination of what the politically correct agenda actually means for our society.

Have you ever noticed how badly the politically correct crowed beats up on those they call bullies?  Now, exactly how is that helping teach people not to be bullies?  All they are teaching society is that bullies win.

And on a related note: why do they need to beat up on bullies in the first place?  Aren’t the same people supposed to support ‘diversity,’ too?

This is a series dedicated to a critical examination of what the politically correct agenda actually means for our society.

We hear a lot about ‘diversity,’ but how often do you stop to consider what is actually being advanced?  If we view society as an organism (which the majority of us do), then ‘diversity’ would actually represent a cancer in the body of society.  A body functions best when all its parts work toward a common goal.  However, when some cells start to establish a different agenda within the body, and they are allowed to grow unchecked, they will — eventually — kill the rest of the body.  This is essentially what cancer is and does: a group of cells that no longer work to sustain the body, but to exist and grow for their own purpose.  The same principle applies when we talk about ‘diversity’ in society. Continue reading “ABOUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: Cancer is ‘Diversity’” →

Once again, I was listening to Beck demonstrating the conflict between his religion and Scripture.  This time, the subject was ‘transgendered children’ and the claim that God made some children wrong.  Now, Beck did not claim that God made these children wrong; it is their parents who are making this claim.  But Beck argued that we should consider that God may have made people female in a male body, and male in a female body.  He went of to claim that God calls us to love these people, and not to judge them.  That said, there is great danger here.  The danger is found in the way Beck is twisting Scripture and God’s commands and in the way our entire society places the blame for all the different problems surrounding the GLBT ‘issue.’  If you are going to acknowledge God long enough to blame Him, then you had better recognize Satan at the same time — lest you blame God for something Satan did.

Have you ever seen the television series, “House?”  Now, have you ever heard older folks say that society has gotten worse than it was when they were kids?  And did you hear anyone respond by saying that things are actually the same as they ever were, it only seems like they are worse?  Well, the television series. “House,” is proof that things have gotten worse than they used to be, and that those who say it isn’t true do not understand what they are saying.  This is especially true for those under the age of forty.  If you are under forty, you may not be able to see it.  But, if they are honest, those who are over forty will tell you that things have gotten much worse.  In fact, those of us over forty have seen moral decay ‘progressively’ overtake this nation until, in less than a generation’s time, we have gone from “Little House on the Prairie” to “House.”  If you doubt me, allow me to explain.

Why do you read?  I do not mean why do you read The OYL, but why do you read anything that purports to inform, educate or edify its readers?

A story has hit the headlines that shows Marxism in operation.  It is the story about how Obama’s Pentagon is telling the U.S. Military that the Bible, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are ‘sexist.’  This is actually true — but only to the Marxist mind, and it is well known that the Marxist mind is unstable.  They embrace the notion that nothing is fixed, and that what is true today does not have to remain true tomorrow.  This is the very definition of unstable, but it also explains how this story reveals Marxism in operation at the Obama Pentagon.  It is summed nicely by George Orwell, a Fabian Socialist and father of all that ails the Western world:

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Continue reading “CONNECTING THE DOTS: Marxism on Display in Obama’s Pentagon” →

No doubt many of you have heard of the video of a an alleged gang rape of a young girl who was on Panama City Beach for Spring Break.  It has made the national news.  But I will take issue with our Sheriff as to who is at fault and what we should do about it.  Here is a video clip from the local news report on this issue: Continue reading “Gang Rape in My Home Town — Sheriff has it Wrong!” →

There is a debate among many students of prophecy.  Some believe that many prophecies should be understood in Spiritual terms. In other words, they ‘spiritualize’ the words of the prophecy.  Others believe the prophecy will come true in a literal sense.  Until recently, I could never decide which was accurate according to God’s perspective.  Then I started to study Scripture for myself, and to seek God’s wisdom.  It was then that I realized both are correct.  God is the perfect teacher.  He knows we do not all learn the same way.  Where some of us may learn from words, others need examples.  This is why God’s most important messages are usually accompanied by some sort of illustration.  This principle also applies to prophecy, but that’s not all.  We should pay careful attention to the nature of allegory in God’s Word, as allegory is yet another form of teaching.  In this case, the major events that have been recorded in the Bible were preserved for a reason, and allegory is one of them.  they all work together to instruct and warn us.  Skeptics and scoffers can ignore God’s warnings, and so can that part of the Church that has grown cold and dead.  But those of us who still fear and love the Lord should be seeing the warning signs in the headlines.  I do.  It’s why, when I saw that Obama announced his deal to allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons for the purpose of destroying Israel right after Netanyahu had just warned us that he was coming to us as Mordecai, I was gripped with fear and foreboding.  Continue reading “PROPHECY IN THE HEADLINES: Netanyahu’s Speech and Obama’s Deal with Iran” →
