THANKS TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS

The choice to embrace God (or not to) and share our faith with others as a source of strength is the gift of freedom that the founding fathers fought to establish. I appreciate the right to share and exercise my faith, especially when I see the suffering of others who do not have this right. It is upon this foundation that the fabric of our Constitution is formed.
brave souls have sacrificed a great deal to protect this right. I am forever indebted to all those who gave so much, enduring great difficulties and hardships to keep this freedom alive and strong for all of us to enjoy today. We cannot allow the tendency of a few (especially judges) to subvert the privilege of exercis-ing our faith. Of course, we let them do that when we will not stand up for ourselves. We can help protect this right by voting and by sending letters to our representatives.
Part of our nation’s pledge, “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” means so much to most Americans. It reflects the many sacrifices made on our behalf. We must never forget what this pledge means to us who live in a land where all citizens can enjoy this freedom. We should respect and even revere their sacrifices. We need to remember the enormous price that paid for the freedom we now profit from, and that our future generations will benefit from as well.
May God help us if we ever come to the point that we forget or show a blatant disregard for the significance of this pledge or, heaven forbid, we neglect to show an allegiance to the United States of America. This is why we must be united in protecting our freedom. Nevertheless, if we become neglectful or complacent about this right, I trust that somehow God will re-mind us of the price tag for this privilege.

As A Mom
Two weeks ago, I was very inspired by the Freedom Friday Article that suggested taking a “Financial Fast.” See the article at: http://asamom.ning.com/profiles/blogs/freedom-friday-jan-22-2010 In fact, I was so inspired by this article that in our family meeting last night we decided that, for the month of February, we were going do a “Financial Fast.” After a bit of negotiation, we did decide to allow a small expenditure for Valentine’s Day- the kids conned me using flowers. I am looking forward to learning how our family spends. I invite you to join me on your own “Financial Fast.”
Story About Judge Carter Correction
I appreciate the readers who corrected me on this incorrect story. I was in too big of a hurry to post without checking the facts so now I have egg on my face, and well deserved I might add. I thank all of you who have written me for keeping me on track. Thanks.
Below is Mike’s email to me:
You do realise that a) more or less everything you’ve posted is incorrect, b) that Orly Taitz was sanctioned for wasting the court’s time in another case and c) that Barnett has been roundly dismissed by the court, don’t you?
Court date Jan 26, 2010—-Obama
I ask that you pray for this Judge. I also ask that you storm Heaven, and ask God to allow the truth to come into the light. Get as many people as you can to pray for this to be resolved.
Please Pray For Him

Federal Judge Carter sets Trial Date for Obama’s Eligibility!
The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010!
Many concerned veterans and citizens attended the hearing in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief. About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people..
Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama’s request for dismissal. He indicated there was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you can believe that. Obama would prefer a “kangaroo court” instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama’s motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner (if he has one).
The judge, WHO IS A FORMER U.S. MARINE, repeated several times that this is A VERY SERIOUS CASE which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this time of war. He basically said OBAMA MUST PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY to the court! He said Americans deserve to know the truth about their President!
The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times. Obama’s attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minut e hearing looking defeated and nervous.
Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution! The truth about Barack Obama’s eligibility will be known fairly soon – Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!
Video from the press conference after the hearing coming soon. Congratulations to plaintiffs attorney Dr. Orly Taitz! She did a great job and won some huge victories. She was fearless!

Breaking from Newsmax.com
Trying Terrorists in Civilian Courts Cripples National Security
NewsMax reports that “The Obama administration is making a dangerous mistake by trying the Detroit airline bomber in a civilian court, says Sen. Kit Bond, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Putting Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab will not only pose a threat to the city in which he’s prosecuted, Bond says, but it also hampers the ability of intelligence professionals to get valuable information.”
I think a majority of American agree with this statement, I know that I do!
“We’ve learned the hard way that trying terrorists in a federal court comes at a high price,” said Bond, R-Mo.
“First, we lose out on potential lifesaving intelligence, which we need right now. It also in the past has compromised our sources and methods.”
The problem I have and many others have as well, is that the terrorists are NOT American citizens who committed burglary or arson or something like that, they are enemy combatants/ In case anybody forgot, we are at war with these people. Why would we give someone who is NOT a citizen the same rights and access to legal representation in the states when they do not have such protection. They are foreigners and do NOT have the right. I just don’t understand the Obama Administration’s thinking in this matter.
The NewsMax report continues by stating that “Bond also opposes closing the prison for terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, as President Obama has pledged to do. “Based on what we now know, Gitmo is the best place to keep these enemy combatants,” Bond said. “When you release them, and even worse if you bring them to the United States, that is likely to compromise our national security.”
All we can do at this point is hope that enough support will grow on both sides of the Senate to prevent the closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility. This is my hope at least, and I am sure the hope of a lot of Americans today. However, what concerns me is that the Senate is unwilling to go against the President, who obviously wants to close the facility so I doubt this situation will become reality. The President is determined to close Gitmo and we all know that he usually gets what he wants. Right?
As far as I am concerned, it appears that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is naive and does not really understand the task that her job requires to keep us secure. If the Democrats won’t admit that we are at war with terrorism and see acts like Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Christmas Day attempt to harm us as a terrorism threat, then how can they really protect us? Did you notice that, although Democrats will not use the phrase “War on Terrorism”, the President finally admitted on television that we are at war with al-Qaeda. The problem with his statement is that we are not at war with just al-Qaeda but with hundreds of terrorist groups (mostly from the Muslim/Arab nations).
I do believe that the President is starting to see things a little more clearly about terrorism but I do not think he is taking it seriously enough yet. If he really understood terrorism the way he should as Commander and Cheif, then why did he take so long to leave his golf game and pay attention to what happened n Christmas day? I would like to believe that he understands but it’s hard for me to accept right now.
Obviously our system malfunctioned on Christmas day and that means American still are far from being safe. Bond is right when he questioned: “Is there somebody who is egregiously at fault, or is the system just not adequate to handle all these points?”
NewsMax.com reported that Bond said he is confident in the ability of Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to conduct a fair, nonpartisan investigation. “She has worked on a very bipartisan basis with us,” he said. “I’m pleased with how the Intelligence Committee is working.”
Are you as confident in Dianne Feinstein to conduct a fair, nonpartisan investigation as Bond? Perhaps you have the same problem I do with the attitude of most Democrats on terrorism. Please leave a comment. I would love to hear from you on this topic.
Can Our President Be A Muslim?
How do you feel about the contents of this video? Do you have a problem with Obama being a Muslim?
How do you feel about him saying that America is NOT and will never be at war with Islam?
First of all, America is the home of many Muslims and I believe the President wants them to feel like America is their home. I have no problem with it in that aspect, if they are law-abiding people. I also don’t have a problem with Obama being Muslim. However, I do have a problem with him being Muslim as President for the following reasons:
- I do when he told us all that he is Christian and not Muslim.
- I do have a problem when he is the President of a nation who is truly at war with Muslim nations that have attacked the United States.
- I do have a problem with him being Muslim when we have tons of Muslims in this nation that say their allegiance is to Allah first and to their citizenship as an American second.
- I have a really big problem with him bowing to a Muslim King!! Yes, I have a very big problem with him bowing when he is the leader of this nation. A handshake is appropriate enough and what any king expects from an American leader.
I would appreciate your thoughts after you watch this video. Be truthful, tell me how really feel and not what is politically correct.
How Do We Respond To These Times
Inspired by writings of Terrance Norton’s report on http://OwlWiseArtieSays.wordpress.com.
THE PROBLEM
I suspect that throughout the year, you have been discussing with your family members and friends the state of business today and of your own affairs. I also suspect that you have even complained a lot about how difficult it is becoming to meet your obligations. The truth is that many Americans are really suffering right now because of the economy.
One may say that these are problems that we brought upon ourselves because of those who disregard God and His commandments. In fact, many are saying that these are the last days and what we are experiencing is prophecy. One may also say that the world is held together only by the good works of good people, and that otherwise we would have been destroyed a long time ago.
The prideful are not taking care of the fatherless, windows, or the poor. However, this does not mean that we need Obama’s idea of redistribution of wealth by government mandate to accomplish this goal. It is NOT government who God will hold responsible for this neglect, it will be us who will be held accountable.
Let us make this one observation that perhaps, this problem goes much deeper than accountability for our neglect. Perhaps it really about the promiscuity of people and their gay or bi-sexual experimentation and lifestyle choices that has God angry with us.
God has made it VERY clear that He does not accept sex outside of marriage and the level of promiscuity that is filtering down through our children because they have not been taught correct principles. Even if you do not have a religious affiliation and personal spirituality has been compromised (being a broad range of interpretation), it does not release you from being accountable to God for wrong choices. Breaking the laws of God and the universe have specific ramifications, whether or not you believe in God or understand the law.
Sexual immorality that pertains to the pridefulness of the people will cause unwanted consequences on all of us as a nation. In addition, the ramifications of our pridefulness will become harsher and money will become more elusive when we keep refusing to help those in need.
Let me give you an example of what I mean about pridefulness and not helping those in need. My brother has a window cleaning business for the past eleven years. Each year, he has to go door to door to build up his business clientèle. The past four years, he has had little trouble expanding the business and building it up from scratch in a new state. Then this year he has had a very tough time getting window cleaning jobs because people are holding on to their money.
The problem this year isn’t that people don’t want to spend the money, it is the level of pridefulness in their attitudes that has him frustrated. People have been nastier than usual and their rudeness is much more prevalent as well. One woman claimed she had her windows done inside and out for only $25; if true, that means she took major advantage of a man who was obviously starving enough to take the job at that ridiculous price. The woman was still trying to take advantage of my brother when he gave her a bid for $100, so likely she had been in the habit of doing this many times before because she was comfortable with doing it again to my brother.
Now that the Obama Administration printed more money worth trillions that now devalues the dollar, how long do you think this worthless currency is going to last before the dollar collapses? Not very long, especially since there’s talk about the Amero becoming the new currency. What do you think is going to happen to all the wealth that’s dependent on the dollar? What is going to happen to the people who are holding on tightly to the dollar in their pridefulness?
The scriptures give us one answer these questions: that, if this attitude continues, ”Great Shall Be Their Fall”. This means that all things pertaining to a covetous attitude toward money will cause it to slip through the fingers of the prideful.
WHAT TO DO
First we need to understand that, according to scripture, there will be a separtion between the wheat and the tare. To harvest wheat, it has to be shaken in order to separate it from the tare. Keep in mind that as the tare is shaken with the wheat, so shall we be shaken.
How do we deal with this situation? Naturally, we will go to the Lord and ask Him what to do. The answer may come to us in a small whisper that says, ” Fear not for I am God and I have plans for you.” I know, your first thought likely will be, “Oh yeah Lord how does having faith in my adversity and fear put food on the table and pay my bills?”
The truth is that we are headed for some very hard times. We cannot believe the media when they say that the economy is turning around because we can see that it is not. Just because the media wants the President’s approval rating to go up and the passage of his health care plan, they try to trick us into believing that things are better than they are…typical propaganda tactics. We need to see past this facade and know that we are headed deeper and deeper into a recession or worse.
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR BAD NEWS, THEY WANT TO HEAR ONLY GOOD NEWS, SO THEY WON’T ACCEPT THE WRITING ON THE WALL THAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES. WE CAN STICK OUR HEADS IN THE SAND AND PRETEND THAT ALL IS WELL, OR WE CAN ACCEPT WHAT IS AND LIVE WITH THE REALITY OF IT, OR WE CAN PREPARE FOR TROUBLED TIMES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR US TO SEE IT THROUGH.
The government’s stupid idea that spending money that we don’t have by using credit to pull us out of this economic mess that Congress initiated irritates some of us. All that does is continue to cause the downfall of the dollar. As mentioned earlier, Terrance says “we are going to be shaken as the wheat and the tare if we continue to go down this path.”
“So what path should we be going down”, asks Terrance? “The path is storing food, weapons and ammo, emergency supplies, and investigating alternative housing in rural areas. You should be thinking in terms of using items to barter or trade”, continues Terrance.
Have you thought about what you will do then to support your family? Have you thought about how you will survive and what you will do for survival? How will you get what you need when the dollar collapses? That is a lot to consider but this is something that needs to be resolved in order to wisely plan for the days ahead. Ignoring that this can happen, and will likely happen, will not provide what you need when it does happen.
Terrance makes a good point here, when he says: “If it is true about history repeating itself, people end up in bondage when they become prideful. Look at the way things are headed now. The secular progressives want to abolish democracy and institute socialism. Is this another way of saying that we will have a government controlled people that is likened to being in bondage. When government controls the money flow they control the people. House Bill 875 and Senate Bill 425 is another way for the government to control the people through controlled food distribution. Does this sound like a type of bondage to you? I believe so!”
Terrance and I agree that “All in all, we should be re-directing our money towards food storage, greenhouse growing for self-sufficiency, bartering implements, emergency supplies as well as being faithful and hopeful that we will endure while the Lord institutes His judgment. Let us be steadfast and hold on to what is dear to us…..and that is our freedom!”

have a government-run plan that took away their freedom. If you hated HillaryCare, you can’t like ObamaCare… [The Democrat leaders] believe in censoring, but the American people cannot be censored. We have Internet. We have Twitter. This kind of a chart can be forwarded all over this country, and by tomorrow morning it could be on every computer if the American people just decided they wanted to make sure that you could see it. You can’t understand this health care program if you read the print, but if you look at this chart on your screen, you will pick up the phone, and the American people will be scared enough, I think, to jam the phone lines again in field offices.”
