The 2007 State of the Union

Ok, I didn’t watch the president’s “State of the Union” show live last night, but I did get a chance to look over the transcript today. Basically…

“My plan will work if you guys don’t mess it up and if it doesn’t work, it won’t be my fault” and “just ignore that man behind the curtain.”

…gibberish (and in case anyone doesn’t know yet, I voted for this administration both times.)

Nothing stood out as surprising to me but one thing.

The President repeated a known false “foiled terror attack” that he had announced on February 9th last year. The thwarted plan supposedly was planned by al Qaeda to fly a plane into the tallest building on the west coast, the LA Library Tower, in 2002. The only problem is that hours after the announcement, mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa came out with a statement of his surprise that he had not been informed of such a plot by anyone in the government. More surprising was that the next day twenty-three separate active and inactive intelligence agents and experts disputed the claim publicly.

New York Times story (archived story about other officials’ opinion on the “plot”.)

The New York Daily News (another archived story about other officials’ opinion on the “plot”.)

The Washington Post (yet another archived story about other officials’ opinion on the “plot”.)

FBI counterterrorism director John Pistole said he was "not sure what [the CIA] was referring to," when a CIA counterintelligence official mentioned the same “plot” when he said "I think we've probably prevented a few aviation attacks against both the East and West coasts," in 2004.

There is more about this old “plot” for the reading if you do some Google work.

I would feel guilty not pointing out this blatant reinforcement of unprecedented fear in our national mind. Unfortunately, we are expected to tolerate this “culture of fear” as good conservatives or Christians and this talk from our leader only promotes it.

I will hopefully be writing much more about this subject in the near future as I believe we (especially those of us calling ourselves Christians) are not called to live according to fear but that is the primary focus of current official US policy and it is and will affect our families, churches, and lifestyles if we allow it to continue unchecked. It is dangerous, false and for a believer… unscriptural.

Election Time - Get informed, spread the word

“An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.”

James Madison, Federalist No. 58, 1788

Alright, its election time and some have been asking me about this one. If you're not a Christian, understand that is my perspective (let me know because you need to know how you can become one. There is no hope without Christ Jesus.)

Let me just make some things clear up front;

1. I will never knowingly vote for any candidate that openly supports abortion or any other sick ungodly agendas.
2. I know my God is in control, so much so that He gave us this great country and its system of citizen control and influence over limited government (if we exercise it.)
3. It is not wrong, unchristian, hateful or rebellious to require accountability from our government, because this is America where that is exactly how this nation came into being, by God's grace.
4. It is not (and there is a lot of confusion on this one) good, patriotic, caring or loving to just sit through our uniquely American existence, a gift from God, silent while those that supposedly represent us continue their drunken drive of lust and power in our name (and in turn Christ's name), ruining our republic.

I'm sorry if that sounds harsh… now that that’s clear…

I’m in quite a position this next Tuesday. It will be difficult for me to make some of the “choices” when I go to vote, and yes, I will vote. There are two sources of information that I use to determine who to vote for. The first is what a candidate says and the second, and by far the most important, is what they have done. It’s that dirty old “fruit inspection” theory. Well it’s biblical Christian, sorry.

Here’s the problem for us conservative Christians, there is not much of a choice and I mean that. There really is not a choice in most cases anymore. I will discuss my remedy in a moment but let me try and get you other “conservative” Christians to wake up for a second. Reality check time. And if you think Christians should just get alone and take what comes, just stop reading now. You are beyond hope. Go back to football, cookouts and vacations because life is a bed of roses, really. The rest of us, come on:

Correct me with real facts if I’m wrong but here are the facts as I see them. The first issue that should be a block for any Christian voting for someone is the American holocaust of abortion. Call it what it is, if you are really “pro-life”, it is a holocaust. You have no reason to talk about how bad Hitler was if you can’t admit this. And standing on a sidewalk one hour a year holding a sign and nothing else is not being “active” (it’s better than nothing I guess.) If a candidate is not going to make abolishing baby killing a priority, in my opinion, they should not even be running as a conservative Christian. And if we can’t get the abortion issue taken care of, no other issue matters, really. It’s about as cut and dry an issue as you can have.

Well then we should vote for the GOP (Republicans) then right? “They’ll do something about abortion.” How long can you repeat a lie before you begin to believe it? Check these facts out and rethink your reality, and your voting strategy:

The Facts:

It was a Republican dominated U.S. Supreme Court that legalized abortion on demand in 1973 by deciding both Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Republicans authorized the killing of over 45 million unborn babies and there is no other way to spin that. Since then Republican dominated Courts have reaffirmed abortion-on-demand time and time again, to include the current Court. Just a few weeks ago the U.S. Supreme Court, without comment or dissent, rejected a request from Sandra Cano to reconsider the Doe v. Bolton case (She was the woman who was used as the plaintiff in the case) that created a 'health' exception for abortions. This case, with Roe v. Wade made abortion-on-demand completely legal in almost any stage of pregnancy! Currently “Republican” picked judges makeup the majority on this Court by a 7-2 margin. This does not constitute the “Party of Life” to me.

Democrats may say they are pro-abortion but Republican Party members have actually given it to us. Spin it if you want, but that is the fact.

Here’s another fact to consider:

· When “Christian” Republican George W. Bush became president in 2001, a staggering 4,000 unborn babies were being aborted daily! See how evil Clinton was (I know, I know, he was. But…)

· Six years later during which we have had a Republican controlled House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court (basically the entire federal government has been Republican controlled… for six years), there are now a paltry 4,000 unborn babies being aborted daily! See how good our Republican leaders are?

Nothing has changed Christian! For six years, pro-life Christians have been fed a bunch of rhetoric to support the “lesser of two evils” lie! That is a controlling, deceptive and satanic lie.

“But what about the “partial-birth abortion ban” that Bush signed? He’s doing something to end abortion, right?” Wrong!!! You think this confirms his Christian stance? That bill has not saved a single unborn child. All it did was legitimize all the other types of abortion. Here are the facts:

· 99% of all abortions are outside that ban! What a joke.

· That bill prompts mothers considering abortion to do so earlier in the pregnancy than they may have before, leaving less time for them to consider not doing it.

If anything, the partial-birth abortion bill has helped speed-up abortions.

But Christians buy the lie that something has been done by our good “Christian” Republican leaders.

The only representative who has put his money where his mouth is would be Representative Ron Paul of Texas who introduced H.R. 776, The Sanctity of Life Act of 2005, a bill "to provide that human life shall be deemed to exist from conception," How many supporters did he have in the House? Five! And total silence from the White House. Why did his bill not get support from the GOP or the president? Because there is no difference in the GOP and the Democrats. When will Christians realize this? God’s people truly do perish due to a lack of knowledge. You may as well call them Republicrats and Demopublicans. It is like belief in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, it was cute when you were young but it’s pathetic as an adult.

The national GOP has supported numerous pro-choice Republicans running against pro-life Republicans in primary races throughout the country. That happens all the time and is sick.

· “Christian” President George W. Bush also gave his support recently to the “Plan B” over the counter abortion pill pushing the FDA to approve it. Has he lost his mind or just his morals or does he know exactly what he is doing? That drug will grow the unknown number of unborn baby deaths to new highs.

· Bush has stated on the record that he thinks that America is not ready for a total abortion ban. He doesn’t speak for me.

· Bush supported and increased funding for Planned Parenthood.

· Bush appointed pro-abortion Judge Alito (based on Alito’s votes in 3 of 4 cases.)

· Bush has appointed pro-choice proponents like Secretary Rice and Attorney General Gonzalez to positions in his administration.

· Bush supported pro-abortion Specter’s re-election.

· Bush also publicly opposed the pro-life bill in South Dakota that outlawed all abortions with the sole exception of saving the life of the mother. So Bush has not only done nothing to end abortion, he has actually done much to assist it.

· Laura Bush has even stated for the record that both she and the President support Roe v. Wade.

Show me how the “most Christian” Republican President is “pro-life” in light of the facts.

Show me how the GOP is “pro-life” in light of the facts.

Pat Buchanan was right when he said that the two major parties are “two wings of the same bird of prey." Christians and especially leaders must begin to acknowledge that the two party system is worse than broken and start speaking out in support of truly conservative, true constitutionalists.

The pathetic “lesser of two evils” mantra is a control mechanism and the Church best break out of it before it is too late. The choice between Socialist Democrat and Fascist Republican is unacceptable and Christians should realize that through Christ more than that is possible and expected, and begin to demand it.

So basically, if we can’t get the baby killing issue straight with “conservative Christian” Republican control of the entire government, there is no need to go into any other issue for this discussion. Our founding fathers could not have fathomed that killing unborn children would be protected by American law. There is no difference but talk between to two major parties friend. It’s like claiming to wage a “War on Terror” without closing the borders, boy that would make no sense at all, would it?

“Among the numerous advantages promised by a well-constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction.”

James Madison, Federalist No. 10, November 23, 178

What am I gonna do?

So what am I doing this election, personally? I will go and vote for a few individuals that I determine I can in good conscious (this might only be a few judges, I’m still trying to determine who they are.) I will not participate in the ungodly process of “lesser of two evils” straight ticket, “hold your nose and vote”, faith-based hogwash that retail Christianity now operates under. It is not biblical and we have to end it. Would you vote for Nero and Caligula? I hope you would vote for neither. (You might want to look that up, of course they didn’t give the “right” of voting)

“A little matter will move a party, but it must be something great that moves a nation.”

Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1792

A Real Solution

I really think it’s to late this election to do the right thing. We will have the same result in two years because there are too few constitutionalists running. There I said it. The right thing is for Christians to remove themselves as a supportive group to the GOP that has lied, used, abused and abandoned them for a long time, over and over. Guys, it is a hoax, a gimmick that even our respected Christian leaders and pastors still believe and promote. To keep following the GOP now would be like a battered wife to keep taking abuse from a piece of trash scum husband under the delusion that he cares for her and her wellbeing. The church is supposed to be the bride of Christ why would she live like anything less? If the church continues to participate with the “lesser of two evils” mantra, our country truly is doomed.

So, I think the only choice is to vote for those you can honestly say you have looked into and you really believe they might support real abolishment of abortion and then apply the pressure for real legislation to do that this next term. That means writing letters, making phone calls and informing others to pressure representatives to actually do this, between elections. Instead of believing the cute sounding “If you don’t vote, you don’t have a right to complain”, start saying “If you aren’t active in holding your public servants accountable between elections, you are wasting your vote!”

But more importantly, and what I think the only solution is, start now to look ahead to 2008 and beyond. If all Christians would refuse to support either corrupt major party and begin raising their own politicians up, they could elect real Christians and maybe we could actually accomplish something. Oh, that’s right; churches can’t officially be political can they? After all, we wouldn’t want that tax exempt status yanked would we? The church has been effectively neutered by that one control mechanism. Oh, we are so controlled. If you really believe as children of God that we should not live in bondage, wake up and start looking around. Some believe that not voting a straight Republican ticket is actually a sin. I say that not participating in holding your government accountable daily in America is the real sin.

Get informed, get involved or we will be leaving a disgusting country to our children and grandchildren. That is a sin. Yes go vote, but understand what it is going take to see real change, unless you’ve already given up.

In Christ, Troy

“But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.”

John Adams, letter to H. Niles, February 13, 1818

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”

George Washington, Circular to the States, May 9, 1753

"Not everyone who keeps saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your name, and performed many miracles in your name, didn't we?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you evildoers!'"
(Matthew 7:21-23)

Who’s First? So Many Choices – So Few Nukes...

What are we gonna do now? Attack Iran and North Korea? You remember that according to the president, North Korea was already part of the “Axis of Evil”. Well not to be out done by the (almost) nuclear threat of Iran, North Korea claims it detonated a successful nuclear test. So are they next in the “war on terror”? I think not. Aside from nuking them ourselves, we have neither the military resources nor the national imperialistic will (nor right) to do so. Remember Iraq? We are spread far and wide militarily and Americans are justly weary.

So what does the administration do now? The stage is set (and has been for a long while) for the attack on Iran. The Eisenhower Strike Group set sail for the Persian Gulf over a week ago and are due to be on station around October 21, possibly indicating impending action. I know what some of the talking heads are doing already… downplaying the N. Korean “alleged” nuke test. It’s like in school when something exciting (distracting) happened outside the windows during a lecture and the teacher attempted to regain the attention of her students with great difficulty.

A few US news sources have tried to claim that the N. Korean test was non-nuclear while most others confirm that it was. Russia’s defense minister said the explosion was comparable to the Hiroshima blast in 1945. Most other sources confirm this including the fact that the U.S. Geological Survey site recorded a 4.2 earthquake in N. Korea around the time of the “alleged” test.

Look, we have a problem here:

• It is hard to keep convincing the world that Iran, who is many years (maybe 15 years) away from actually having a nuclear bomb and surrounded by US client territories (and forces), is as big a threat as the Kim Jong-il regime who has as many as eight working nuclear weapons now, according to some experts.

• Couple that with the fact that N. Korea is part of the “War on Terror’s” “Axis of Evil”, it is hard to justify the administrations’ public and aggressive march toward war with a country like Iran instead of N. Korea. Which country poses the more immediate threat (if either really does)? Iran, who has no nuclear bomb and lousy warhead delivery technology, or N. Korea who has threatened to destroy the planet, definitely has nuclear bombs, has tested them and who has successfully tested many missiles capable of actually delivering said nuclear bombs, even hitting American soil before.

• As a side concern, guess who are North Korea’s big allies? China. Hmm, China seems to be an ally with everyone we have a “problem” with yet we buy a major portion of our goods from there (free trade you know), much more than we export (just turn over the mouse you’re holding, your watch, pen, calculator, phone, hundreds of parts in your cars and computers, furniture, appliances… you get the idea. Oh well. Libya, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are also N. Korea’s friends, to name a few. And although deteriorated since the “fall” of the USSR, Russia.

Perhaps that is why the administration and talking heads are playing the test down to “alleged” or being smaller than claimed. I’ve been pointing out for almost a year that an attack on Iran is definite and probably next in the view of our Neo-conservative leaders. When I wrote to my congressman about Iran, he confused “Iraq” for my concern. Those rascally Pages must have been too distracted by messages from their bosses to get my letter in the right form letter pile. Oh, back to the topic…

But there are other, more serious reasons the N. Korean threat must be down played.

• US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was on the board of the company that sold two nuclear reactors to the North Koreans for $200 million only to place them on the “Axis of Evil” list two years later. Look into that one a little bit patriotic American. But that seems to be the same story over and over again with this current bunch. The good Secretary has been on the profitable end of many nationally harmful transactions in years past. The “Trading with The Enemy Act” should be applied to this guy like it did for Prescott Bush (Google Prescott Bush Nazis for another eye opener topic.) Good “conservative” leaders do not do these things, fascist privateers do!
• Not only that, to protect key Saudi interests, including the Bin Laden family, the Bush administration stopped an investigation into the Pakistani agency Khan Research Laboratories (according to the BBC). This is who transferred to N. Korea a couple dozen P-1 and P-11 centrifuges, making the recent nuclear test possible (according to the London Independent). Do an internet search for Bush Khan and see what you begin to find. Good “conservative” leaders do not do these things, fascist privateers do! (By the way you will find similar actions by this administration protecting the Bin Ladens before and after 9-11! See “FBI claim Bush said 'back off' bin Laden before 9/11” – The UK Guardian, and “TIA now verifies flight of Saudis” – St. Petersburg Times. Do an internet search on Bush Bin Laden connections for more surprises.)

MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS WRITING: My “radical” suggested solutions: True conservatives would focus on the true defense of our country, try these:

• Close the borders, both of them, completely, build a thick wall and install a DMZ and station our armies there, all of them (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here.)

• Defend our shores permanently with our warships, every fleet, and every ship (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here.)

• Establish real missile defenses all around the entire country. We have exotic technologies in this area (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here… well they are protecting key government facilities… and for crying out load, find out why those at the Pentagon were turned off that one crystal clear fall day in 2001!)

• Lastly, and this is a big one, require all citizens to be well armed and trained to use those arms proficiently. Let them carry personal weapons legally everywhere in the US, no permit required (currently only criminals can do this, with a few exceptions.) Gun totting Americans, even on commercial aircraft. Catastrophic depressurization due to a bullet is a movie myth, but a couple well armed citizens would stop any hijacker in seconds with minimal collateral damage in most cases. I guarantee a reduction in bank robberies, muggings, hijackings and especially “school shootings”, after a few foiled incidents of course. As we have seen time and time again, the police cannot and will not be everywhere! The founders intended this, research it! Look at the statistics, it’s undeniable, where more gun laws exist, crime goes up! And ask any dictator in history, gun control works! Would this be dangerous? Statistically those who are comfortable handling personal weapons, like concealed permit holders, are safer, execute better judgment and are more proficient than average law enforcement and government agents with them. Gun control is evil!
  

• In order to have the ability and items in the future to maintain any of the above, require our manufacturing to move back to America or we are at the mercy of every other nation on the planet, especially China. We will continue to be required to send our military everywhere to “protect our interests” if this does not happen – one of the root problems in my opinion.

Call it isolationism if you want, study the founders and see if this is how they thought. Would this “radical” list cost too much? How much has and will endless war with every “rogue” entity (apparently anyone who is “not with us”, abroad and here) cost? I propose that implementing these suggestions would save money, and lots of it, but who am I? Would it be perfect? No, but at least we would have true defense in America again.

So I ask again, what are we gonna do now? I predict a continued push by the administration to downplay the N. Korean threat while we march onward towards the Iran “option”, as long as Kim Jong-il doesn’t keep escalating the threat too much.

Research the agendas as set forth by PNAC (Project for a New American Century) proponents currently in power. It involves complete control and regionalization of the Middle East militarily and the resources are not there to deal with both theaters simultaneously at this time… by conventional warfare anyway. The administration has authorized the use of “tactical” nuclear weapons against Iran and the Pentagon has delivered tactical nukes to our ally Israel as well.

Please pray for our nation.

The "Lesser of evils"... still evil - rant on the Foley "scandal"

Be warned, if you just want to read happy thoughts, don’t continue. Hard cold truth follows. But this dialogue needs to happen.

Boy was I getting sick at lunchtime and it wasn’t due the sandwich I was eating either. Listening to talk radio is a good way to get a pulse of what each party (either one) is trying to push to their adherents. Today it was a good 15 minutes (at least) of how liberal Democrats are going after Republican Representative Mark Foley, who resigned last week due to a teen-page sex chat “scandal”, for political reasons of course. Whether that is the only reason or not does not matter. Pedophilia and sexual perversion is horrific and worthy of life in prison (or more) in my opinion. But the attitude on this show was “yea, it’s bad to do that kind of thing, but hey, what really matters is that Democrats don’t really care, it’s because he’s a Republican that they are digging this all up” or something of the sort.

What about the teenagers involved? I don’t care about the circumstances of how he was caught. Every individual in power or positions of authority merits scrutiny based on mankind’s track record of perversion. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. What about the rest of what we think of as “Christians” in power?

The thing that was not mentioned once today was that it was not only liberals in Congress that knew this was going on for some time, but so did the GOP (according to AP). That’s right, our good “Christian” leaders were looking the other way, having knowledge of such horrendous actions by a top “conservative”. Yea that’s real Christian guys. Man, am I getting sick of these puke-bag elites! But hey, we have to vote for the “lesser of the two evils” right?

I’ll tell you what probably happened, Foley was probably told (after being caught originally by his own party) “just don’t get caught, again” (After all, the rest of them/us would become suspect… you would think.) And now it got out “because it’s campaign season”? Give me a break! But enough speculation…

The false “left vs. right” garbage and the disgusting nature of this crime were not the only things making me sick listening to this glossy diatribe by this prominent conservative mouthpiece (whom I used to respect greatly). What really made me nauseous about the host’s politicizing this evil creature’s actions being revealed is that there is no urgent outcry by the public (aside from pundits), especially the real Christian leadership for immediate full investigations of every congress person’s public email, internet chat, browser archives, phone and mobile records, etc… Maybe it’s secret in the name of “National Security”, that is the going excuse for everything else. But the only place it is getting mentioned is by political shills on both sides because it is election time.

I have a rude awaking for some of you. Sexual perversion, pedophilia and other bizarre and disgusting activities is not a new “problem” with many of our elites on both “sides”. It is often a control feature in the world of power.

I am linking to a video that I came across more than a year ago. “Conspiracy of Silence” (and no it has nothing to do with 9-11 or a Kennedy, not directly anyhow) was a documentary that was to play on the Discovery Channel on May 3, 1994 (according to TV Guide) but never did air. A work print version was leaked around about 2003 (best I can tell) and is still viewable on the internet (video.google.com and other places). It is very disturbing but you know what? The truth is the truth and we have ignored or denied too much of it for too long. It’s time believers get our hands dirty before it’s to late.

My study shows that this has been going on throughout history, to include US history, by the world’s elites. Instead of the doors of power locking down tighter in the name of “national security”, we the people need to demand the full opening of them. But there would be more than campaign resistance if the light of truth was to truly shine into the halls of our Washington masters.

Rest assured that by the time something like the Foley “scandal” becomes a scandal, many rats have scattered into shadow and the only one left to be held accountable is the appointed sacrificial lamb, for the greater good… for “democracy”.

I vote for a reality TV channel for each Congress person, the President, and heck… why not every federal employee with a job above cabinet level or above. Let camera crews follow them every second of their pampered lives as a public servant. 24/7. If there is even a second of technical difficulty and the cameras go down, two more are assigned to be with them. That might put a damper on their ability to perform though, I know. Back to reality…

I encourage each of you to realize your position in Christ Jesus as more than a conqueror (if you are a Christian), light bearers and speak the truth in love. Get informed and inform others for this is what has happened to the once great “Christian” republic of America. Too many of God’s people have sat by and elected the “lesser of two evils” for much too long.

IMPORTANT... Jesus Christ on trial... you can pray, just not in His name.

I wrote to the President back on December 21, 2005 concerning Navy Chaplain Lt. Gordon Klingenschmitt's ordeal. Here is the text of that letter in case you haven't read it: on 12-21-2005...

Dear Mr. President,

Thank you for your continued service as the President of the United States.

I am writing to encourage you to intervene on behalf of Lieutenant Gordon Klingenschmitt, US Navy Chaplain. I became aware of his situation through reports on CBN news. He has been told by the Navy that he can not use the name of Jesus Christ in his prayers as a chaplain. I did not get to sign a 160,000 name petition asking for an executive order that would allow military chaplains to pray according to their faith that has been delivered to the White House, but consider my signature on it. When I was a member of the military, prayer from my chaplain was always prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. I know you, as an evangelical Christian yourself, would agree that the only true power in prayer is because of the authority of our savior, Jesus Christ. A prayer invoking any other authority, or no specific authority, would not constitute an appeal to the true God of the universe. For an American to be denied this simply foundational right, being in the military or not, chaplain or not, constitutes severe religious erosion. As Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces, you are in a position to at least slow the decline of our morality and religious freedom in this situation. Please act to restrain our Government, the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces from this type of religious suppression in our military as it is the basis of essential liberty in America.

Of course I eventually received back a form letter from the White House about how "faith" is so important to the President, bla bla bla. Faith in what?!

I just thought you need to know where Lt. Gordon Klingenschmitt's case is, that would be in the court martial phase (click to read), and how much the President has done (despite160,000+ concerned requests to him) to act, being that he is such a good fellow "Christian" and all.

…Oh, by the way, notice who IS standing up for the good Chaplain, former Alabama Supreme Court Judge Roy Moore. Remember who he is? Remember how much the president did to help protect the constitutional actions of this fellow "believer"? Click here to read all about it.

More importantly read here about how the President rewarded the prosecutor of Moore's case (Moore was removed for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building) by appointing Bill Pryor to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th District.

Judge Moore ,Chaplain Klingenschmitt, and the President will all have their rewards one day. God will judge the just and the unjust, the faithful and the unfaithful, and those who stood up for Him and those who didn't.

Pray for these two fellow brothers and pray for our military men and women who basically now may have to disobey "policy" and direct orders to pray in Jesus' name (something that I am convinced saved my life on more than a few airborne operations.) If a Chaplain can be tried for praying in the name of Jesus Christ, where does that leave the rest of the military?

"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." (Act 5:29)
