From Republican to Libertarian... my sojourn of discontent!
The evolution of my politics, religion, and core beliefs.... I don't even know where to begin...
In 2012, I began a journey that I had no idea where it was going to lead and it started with reading the Bible in a year! For all practical purposes, mission accomplished!
I have a special relationship with my God, since childhood I had nothing but questions, so much so that my priest claimed that one day I would lose my faith.... he was prophetic! I did lose my faith in a way... I left the Catholic faith, to embrace a relationship with a living Christ, not the dead guy hanging on the cross, but the living RESURRECTED CHRIST!
Though I have stumbled many times back into Sin, my relationship with Him has gotten even stronger and deeper but I digressed.
Reading the Bible through convinced me of one thing (yes, it was the FIRST time ever to read it through, DON'T JUDGE!) I can honestly say I have read the Bible many times but not in sequence of the books.
So what did I learn and walk away with? God is a loving God, a God of FREE WILL! In my opinion the majority of Christians have a HUGE PROBLEM with this, but I am convinced that it is the way He is. So free will is what it sounds like! You can choose whatever lifestyle, life-choice, you want, but there will be consequences but you can go there if you please!
In the dispensation of Grace, this is the new covenant! But God has not changed, just the agreement with Man or Humanity. All He requires is an acceptance of Christ's sacrifice for EVERY HUMAN BEING'S SOUL. To surrender your life and will to Him and in return, you get a greater LIFE and WILL. Except that now you have an Eternity to look forward to with HIM!
So how or what does this have to do with my journey from being a Republican to being a Libertarian???? EVERYTHING! You see my lovely, knowledgeable, and highly intuitive wife would tell me... GOT TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX! UNPLUG FROM THE MATRIX!
She was right!!!!
The TRUTH.... Republican Party like the other Party LIES! ...and LIES, ...and LIES! I was still in the our team (R) versus your team (D), and the fence sitters (I). Time after time, the Republicans caved to the Progressives... agreeing to bailouts, steeper regulations, more taxes, and LESS REPRESENTATION! Then came the "Marketplace Fairness Act" total BULLSHIT! Sorry, but that is what it is... yet another way to rip us off and feed the monstrosity in DC!
So I began to search for 'another' party well forget the Democrats, they don't even realize that they are European Socialists, and the ones that know are afraid to admit it... so far... not for long!
Conservative Party - Great! The party I most agreed with except they want to "Christianize" the nation.... so you say.... how could a person like myself, Bible believing, Evangelical Christian oppose this??????? Well blame my Bible College, they taught us that any time in history when religion and state where combined NEITHER fared well. History proves it repeatedly! You can't legislate morality, the people will rebel, and in the end you lose everyone! THE STATE HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE CHURCH, THE CHURCH HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE STATE... Jesus said... "...render unto Caeser what belongs to Caeser, and unto God what belongs to God" Matt. 22:20-22
I know I will have a million Christians opinions on this that will disagree with me, to you I say this... One day we will ALL STAND BEFORE HIM, I will submit to HIS judgement and his judgement alone. If God who gave the Israelites the choice between a THEOCRACY and JUDGES chose upon themselves JUDGES and were NOT WIPED OFF THE EARTH, then how much more do we have with the NEW COVENANT! .... but my point here is not to get ANYONE to my side, rather explain how I got to where I got. If you agree fine, if you don't fine....
So when I TOOK THE BLINDERS OFF, I realized this, when the Republicans were elected back in the Bush years, had majority in all three branches, ran on a "CONSERVATIVE" platform, yet did little if anything for the CONSERVATIVES THAT ELECTED THEM! That's right, they LIED AND CONTINUE TO LIE! No matter where you stand on abortion, is not the point, the point is this.... WHY DIDN'T THE REPUBLICANS DEFUND Planned Parenthood, why didn't they OUT their founder MARGARET SANGER this RACIST nut job who believed in EUGENINCS aka superior race... who, NOT COINCIDENTLY saw to it that most Planned Parenthood Clinics were to be located in densely urban BLACK neighborhoods, to date, more Americans of African descent have aborted their babies (per capita) than any other (MARGARET SANGER FROM ME TO YOUR GRAVE... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED).
But in THOSE YEARS OF ABSOLUTE POWER they didn't defund it, in fact on a separate note most of the time they have been in power they have not reversed tax increases, perhaps stalled but not reversed!
So I came to the Libertarian Party website, took my Republican/Conservative glasses off, and looked at the Platform without those FILTERS! For reference, let me just say this, for most of my life whenever I met a Libertarian I believed I was talking to anarchists, anti-American radicals, druggies, who were lawless, immoral and uncompromising!
Then this is when it happened... I had finished my Bible in a Year walking away understanding one main thing oh and I read the AMPLIFIED VERSION. This is the version that goes to the GREEK AND ARAMAIC, the original language and translates it ACCURATELY AND COMPLETELY.
GOD IS THE GOD OF FREE WILL! We are free to choose whatever we want, whatever religion we want, what ever morality we want, whatever lifestyle we want! All without one thunderbolt, or fire and brimstone falling from the sky! Yes, I said it! WE ARE IN THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE! Now before all my Christian brothers and sisters call me a HERETIC, let me finish.... you can have all that AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE CHOICES, THE JUDGMENTS AND DUE JUSTICE IN THE COMING KINGDOM!
We as believers as a whole, I believe would reject a Theocracy in our present state of being.... we would if we were honest with ourselves!
THIS IS NOT A PERMISSION TO WALK IN SIN OR PERPETUATE SIN, rather a free choice to follow HIM, to SURRENDER TO HIS WILL AND HIS WAYS! Not some phoney, outward, piety, holiness, but true HOLINESS!
SO.... what does this have to do with Libertarianism???? EVERYTHING! You see the Libertaian mindset, the premise is this... GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLACE WHATSOEVER IN DICTATING TO US THE CITIZENS WHAT TO DO, WHAT NOT TO DO, TO DRINK, NOT TO DRINK, WHO TO MARRY, WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO WITH YOUR LAND, YOUR PROPERTY, YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR WEALTH, YOUR HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE!
YET WE ALLOW A GOVERNMENT, A HUMAN GOVERNMENT DICTATE ALL THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS, ALL THESE RESTRICTIONS! YES WE INVITE IT IN OUR HEARTS AND HOMES....
YET WE AS PEOPLE REJECT THE SIMPLICITY OF WALKING WITH GOD, WE GOT WHAT WE DESERVED....
So we allow government unfettered to do this but reject the laws of GOD!!!! YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE!
THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN WITH THE PURPOSE OF BEING A SCALPEL TO POWER, NOT A FACILITATOR TO THE POWERFUL.
That is why today THE CONSTITUTION SEEMS and NOW IS an OUTDATED, USELESS DOCUMENT! In the end it will be IF WE DON'T TEACH OUR CHILDREN THE TRUTH AND PROPER APPLICATION.
We must PURGE the ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY out of our populace if we are to survive... it's going to take a lot of PRAYER, AND POWER to do that.
LIBERTARIANS BELIEVE IN INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, LIKE THE FOUNDERS DESIGNED IT! Except we have gotten so far away from it that WE NO LONGER RECOGNIZE FREEDOM, NOR FREE MARKETS! Why?
BECAUSE THEY ARE CONTROLLED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE GOVERNMENT! IT IS NO LONGER A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE!
It is a government OF THE ELECTED, BY THE ELECTED, FOR THE ELECTED!
....and IT MUST COME DOWN, OR BE BROUGHT DOWN!
BETTER BY VOTE THAN BYBULLET! It's going to take EVERY FREEDOM LOVING AMERICAN, to STAND and TEACH, and INFORM, and STOP BEING PARTISAN!
WE ARE NOT DEMOCRATS, WE ARE NOT REPUBLICANS, WE ARE AMERICANS!

AMERICA IT'S TIME WE STAND AND DELIVER!!!
Thank GOD for those brave young people that outed the corrupt ACORN. Tonight as a result, the Census Bureau has severed ties with ACORN and they will no longer conduct the 2010 Census. THANK YOU GOD, AND TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! We are taking back America from the precipice of socialism, corruption, and destruction!
What is amazing is that the major news media CNN, MSNBC, and others are not even reporting it! ACORN WORKERS did not even bat an eye, when the young people posing as a pimp and prostitute presented their case, their plans were encouraged by ACORN to lie to the IRS when they said they were going to help them get loans to buy a home where they were planning on bringing young underage teens from El Salvador to be used as prostitutes.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SOULESS. Promoting the RAPE AND EXPLOITATION OF OUR CHILDREN????
SO, I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IS N.O.W., AMERICAN LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS, US CONGRESS, MR. PRESIDENT, WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????? WHERE? MR. OBAMA WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE?
AND YET YOU SIT SILENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE 48HOURS LATER! NOT A WORD, NOT A STATEMENT! YOU ARE A LIAR, AND A COWARD AND I CALL YOU OUT!!!!
IF YOU DON'T DEFEND THE MOST DEFENSELESS AMONG US, THE CHILDREN, YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL DEFEND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES? I AM OUTRAGED AND EVERY AMERICAN, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN-AMERICANS SHOULD BE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOF TOPS.
I AND AMERICA KNOW WHERE YOU STAND!
When Barack Obama says on national television that if you want to know where he stand to just see with whom he surrounds himself with... well it's obvious now. He has denied his relationship with the poisonous Rev Wright with his racist, anti-American rhetoric, Ayers with his bombing cities of the US in the 60's, when he appoints nut-jobs like Van Jones a self admitted communist, and other nut-job liberals that do not respect human life, and finally when you think it can't go any further this same President that promotes, supports, and worked for ACORN sits in a DEAFENING SILENCE WHEN HIS ORGANIZATION PROMOTES THE DESTRUCTION, RAPE AND EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN?
NO, there is no denying, who he is. As much as he "distances" himself from all these people. Then we know WHO AND WHAT we have for a President. THIS IS NOT A WHITE - BLACK THING, THIS IS A RIGHT - WRONG THING. Color, Race, Religion, has nothing to do with this, though that is what is going to be said by the MEDIA, and these same people will DARE wave American Flags and say they are Americans, THEY ARE NOT, THEY ARE POSERS, TRAITORS, FRAUDS, AND SCOUNDRELS!
AMERICA, IT'S LIVE FREE OR DIE! CLEAN UP WASHINGTON, KICK THE ALL THE BASTARDS OUT AND LET'S START ALL OVER!

Radicals in the White House... no kidding really?
If you followed Obama it shouldn't come as a surprise. What is surprising is that FBI didn't figure this out? Hello, FBI does anyone Google there?
I was listening to our local talk radio and they had callers talking about the messiahs speech to children this Tuesday. Of course you do realize that now that the stink was made he is going to clean it up and mock the conservatives for making a whole lot about nothing...
BUT, no matter we accomplished the goal.
A caller stated that the reason they are taking out his kids that day because he didn't want his kids to even think that anything credible comes from this liars mouth... good point right!
Having come from Cuba, Americans cannot understand the subtleties of propaganda. First, endear the listener to the great one. Slowly they feed the poison, just a few words here and there. Like yeast, a little goes a long way.
Obama is a freedom polluter. His agenda was and will always be to undermine the capitalist system. That is why all that he does is made to undermine the private sector. That is why he has all these socialists, wackos, and communists to advise him.
Some say it's gotten away from him, I don't agree. I think, no I know that like a good little worker ant he has delegated power to his minions. They will do the dirty work. He will throw many under the bus but this is all the plan.
Eventually to wear us out. They know that it's not going to be an easy sell. That is why we are so bombarded with lies and changes and legislation faster than we can read it, digest it, and see it through.
Van Jones stated that within each act there is a kernel of revolution. Is it any wonder that all these bills are being passed faster than they are read? Of course not, that is the plan.
I don't know if we will be able to stop all this but I am not giving up on the American people. The democrats are making a serious mistake. This I believe will backfire on them badly in 2010.
The question is... will the damage be done well before we get to vote these liars and thieves out of office? Only time and prayer will tell.

We've Figured Him Out!
The American Spectator
July 24, 2009
By Ben Stein
Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator. The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.
Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.
There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

A NATION IN DISTRESS... SANITY AT LAST?
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzx_ZnodNYM-37w9uFYC_F60DdtnbLx_Dhxf_68UU-YVnPT6VvyfuGrMLQIgvrnXX2f2HimpbvyihGrFj_3r8QtlAR8fI_1WGHsioJ5U0ah6ImxGPhEHAJdkoDJbIIEaL7QACVGn7Lm9M9/s320/upside-down-flag21.jpg)
As Obama’s popularity falls, Democrats are feeling less like goose stepping to the President's orders and more like listening to their constituents. After all these are the people who elected them and if these people no longer agree with Obama then continuing to support his programs will surly spell an end to their political careers.
The proverbial straw in this case is healthcare reform. Obama has been pushing for a quick passage of his plan ,setting an August 7th deadline for Congress to act.
The reason for this push has nothing to do with how much Obama cares about his fellow Americans. He doesn’t want Senators and Representatives going home for the August break and hearing from the voters about how much they dislike this proposal. The more negative input they get the less likely they are to vote for this plan.
Another reason is that with midterm elections on the horizon and his popularity on a downward slide Obama’s ability to polarize Congress and get the Democrats to stand behind him on more of these ridiculous spending plans is going away fast.
As more Americans are becoming aware of the waste in the "Stimulus Package" and the economy continues to drag midterm elections and the reemergence of conservative Democrats hold at least a glimmer of hope that we will be able to weather the storm caused by Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the tax and spend gang.

FEMA (NLE09) Exercise in late July '09, is it compromising our national security?
NLE 09 FEMA Exercise:
http://www.fema.gov/media/fact_sheets/nle09.shtm
White House - DIRECTED, Congressionally - MANDATED
I think we all need to take a good look at this, I am having some issues with this, I mean this is a big deal! Basically we are showing these four countries how, what, where, and when. The WHERE is AR, LA, OK, TX, & NM!!!!
This is not a normal exercise:
"National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery." This means that we will share information conscerning our domestic information dissemination protocols and mitigation in the prevention and protection of our nation against terrorism with a foreign presence and participation in this exercise!
I was doing my normal surfing the Twitter and Blogosphere and I came across this, I mean c'mon! This is scary!!!! I want you to particularly look at the wording in the 1st and 3rd paragraph on the FEMA LINK ABOVE, then look at the states they have chosen and the countries that will participate. READ IT PLEASE!!!! What this says is the US Gov is bringing in military and intelligence agents from Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. The FOCUS:
"NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants."
Geez, why don't we just give them our missile codes for crying out loud!!!! How do they know the parties participating can be ENTRUSTED with this information, and Mexico!!!!
Mexico doesn't even respect our national border!!!!!
You tell me what you think!!!!

US Congress to dictate parental rights?
I took some excerpts from it: The numbered links take you to the actual wording...
Ten things you need to know about the substance of the CRC:
Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.11.
A murderer aged 17 years and 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.12.
Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.13.
The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent’s decision.14.
A child’s “right to be heard” would allow him (or her) to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.15.
According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children’s welfare.16.
Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.17.
Christian schools that refuse to teach "alternative worldviews" and teach that Christianity is the only true religion "fly in the face of article 29" of the treaty.18.
Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.19.
Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.20.
What do you think? Remember folks, it's not so much what is said in the bill rather what it doesn't say, innocuously vague statements opens the door to "interpretation" by the courts. You know it, I know it, and everybody else should know it. The time of complacency is over... WAKE UP!
