Somehow, it seems fitting that this post should be written today, because there are too many people in this country today that are exhibiting symptoms of whatever self-righteous insanity from which this man is obviously suffering:

SEMPER FI!
I ran across a story this week that is directly related to a class I just finished teaching for my church. I gave an eight week course on Christian apologetics. The word, apologetics, is derived from a Greek word which means to defend. In other words, apologetics has nothing to do with apologizing for one’s faith; it is about offering an affirmative defense of it. While it certainly relies on Scripture, apologetics is also founded on logic and reason. Contrary to what many skeptics would like to believe, faith is anything but irrational. Scripture actually teaches reason, and encourages the believer to test everything so they can find and hold to the Truth and discard the rest. Unfortunately, too few Christians actually know and understand Scripture well enough to offer an affirmative defense of their faith, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise when skeptics attack Scripture as contradictory, or violent or advocating social mores other than those they embrace. That’s what the story I found is about. Continue reading “TRUTH: Ignorance And Straw Man Does Not Affirm Rejection Of Scripture”
I have tried to explain that Obamacare is about controlling people and providing a path by which the government can ‘eliminate’ people who are no longer making ‘contributions’ to society. Here is the evidence that this is exactly what they intended – just as they said they did: Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: Obamacare Already Paying Intended Dividends”
Once again, there are stories in the news that serve to expose the true nature of those who seek to control us. These stories provide us a peek behind the masks these people wear. And what we see should bother those of us who know right from wrong. Here are the stories: Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: Glimpses Behind The Mask Of Statism”
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
This has been called the operational definition of insanity. I honestly do not know who first said those words; they have been attributed to many famous people. But, to me, the point in that is that so many people see the Truth in these words, they co-opted them to themselves. So, if doing what you’ve always done and expecting something different is the operational definition of insanity, how can I use that to help me in my daily life? Well, for one thing, you can use it to identify the areas where you may well be insane. Continue reading “HUMAN NATURE: The Operational Definition Of Insanity”
If you are in tune with the Holy Spirit, you should know the Truth when you see it; and if you know the Truth when you see it, then this picture should need no further explanation:
This post is short because the point is easy to make. Here is the story: Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: More Indications We Have One Party Pretending To Be Two”
There was a time when the stories in this post would have provided me with all the motivation I needed to attack those whom I oppose politically without mercy – but no more. Now, when I see stories like these, I weep: both for the people in them and this nation. I start with this: Continue reading “SOCIAL ERNGINEERING: Progressive Indoctrination Bites Progressives In The Rear”
If you read my blog posts, you will no doubt read where I say that – if you listen to them – the progressives will tell you who they are and what they believe. From there, you just need to find the courage to accept them at their word. If you can do that, you will be much better equipped to understand them, and to understand the threat they represent. It is the same with Islam. If you read their holy books, listen to their holy men or just catch them in a candidate moment, they will admit that Islam is what I claim it to be: a religion predicated on violence and subjugation. Here is one of those candidate moments: Continue reading “TRUTH: It’s Not ‘Radical’ Islam, It’s Just Islam”
If a government authority, say the police, told you to do something that you knew (or should know) is a violation of the law and of another individual’s rights, would you do it? Those who know human nature know that the chances are you would. In fact, a sociology study demonstrated the chances are close to 30% that you would not only break the law and violate another person’s rights because someone in authority told you to do so, you would go so far as to kill that person – because you were told to do it. Here is a story in the news that will help illustrate this failing in human nature: Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: Authorities Exploit Failings Of Human Nature”
Another Example Of Manufactured Crisis To Justify Government Tyranny
These sorts of posts are getting harder and harder to write, but I force myself to write them for the benefit of those who still do not see and understand what is happening and how it is being done. I hope that, somehow, if I just try to explain the connections that I see in the headlines, those who read this will start to understand the threat. Maybe then – if enough of us wake up – we will be able to slow our society’s march over the edge of the abyss and into the dust bin of history. Here is the first of several stories that are most definitely related: Continue reading “AGENDAS: Evidence That Climate Change Is Just Excuse For Tyranny”

There is a difference between philosophy and ideology, and that difference explains most of the attitudes we see in many of our leaders – both in politics and society as a whole. If you have ever wondered what those differences are, or you’re just curious to understand why some people can admit mistakes and take responsibility for them while others cannot seem to do either, you might want to consider reading this post on my other blog page:
There is a difference between a Federal Government and a National Government, and that difference is – at least in America – connected to the differences between Fascists and Communists. If you have ever wondered what those differences are, or you’re just curious to understand the source of conflict between our two major Parties, you should consider reading this post on my other blog page:
Zero Tolerance Policy Apparently Does Not Apply To School’s Staff
When the government can make rules for you, and enforce them on you – even when those rules violate your constitutionally protected rights – but the same rules do not apply to those who make them, this is called tyranny. That is just one of the things this story represents: government tyranny in the school system: Continue reading “TYRANNY: When The Rules Apply To You, But Not To Them”
For the majority of my life, I have been the “typical conservative:” I opposed “bleeding heart liberals” and supported law and order and a strong military. But I’ve come to understand that there is a difference between Progressives and even the new Liberal, and that the new liberal is not necessarily an enemy of individual rights and liberty. At the same time, I have learned that blind support of the military and of law enforcement is to support the very tyranny I thought I was opposing when I still called myself “conservative.” Finally, I now understand that we have been conditioned to think in terms that amount to Constitutional subversion, and one of the ways it is being done is through shows that supposedly support the military and law enforcement.

If So, Then What Should That Tell You About This Government?
I understand that there will be some who will take offense to this. They will deny the Truth in it, but then, I am not writing to or for them. I consider them to be beyond reach. I write this post for those who may not yet see that Truth and who might – through the obvious Truth in this picture – might be shocked into accepting it. For, only by accepting it can we face it, and only when we face it can we hope to stop it. Here is the picture: Continue reading “LESSONS IN LOGIC: Does This Picture Scare You?”
A while back, I wrote a post in which I referred to those who intentionally deceived the American people in the process of pushing the Affordable Care Act as evil. I do not apologize for that assertion. My understanding is that the Devil is the father of lies and deception and that God is not capable of either. However, a reader made a comment that got me to thinking about what I had written and why I believed as I did. I’d like to share what I have concluded as a result of her comment, but first, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am in no way passing any judgment on her. The last thing I wish to do is pass judgment on another person’s heart, and nothing she said leads me to believe she is at all part of what I am about to address. That is a matter between her and God. I just want to thank her for the comment. I count it blessing because it made me think, and that led me to a small but significant revelation.

For some time, I have been seeking to make my will closer to that of the Lord’s: to make His will my own. This has found me struggling to understand His will, which has taught me that I must first seek to change my own understanding of everything I thought I knew. Thanks to my training in philosophy, I was aware that I knew very little, but my journey to get closer to God and to do God’s will has taught me that – until just recently – everything I thought I knew was wrong. Now, I do not claim to have found some secret source of wisdom because I haven’t. I’m still asking God to teach me and to grant me the wisdom to understand – His wisdom, and not my own. And I believe it is because He has seen fit to grant my request – in however small a measure – that I now know that I have been and remain the lesser of lesser men.
