The proper response to Obama's "Yes, We Can!": "No, You Don't!" They can only if good men do nothing.

CNN reporters embedded with the soldiers were ordered by their bosses to submit only negative stories about the war - no positive stories allowed. I know that other "news" outlets engage in the same thing. In my opinion, this amounts to treason. Hear it for yourself by following the instructions below.

Well, U.S. "Representative" Bennie Thompson (D-MS-2) is at it again. For a second time, he is complaining about a duly sworn, highly-trained law enforcement officer bringing a gun on a plane. It was reported in the Jackson (MS) Clarion-Ledger (or, as some of us like to call it, the Clarion Liar) "newspaper" yesterday.

Thompson claims that he doesn't want for unauthorized people to be able to get guns onto airplanes, and that the reason is security. However, the only people he seems to complain about carrying guns onto planes are law enforcement officers.

Representative Thompson, this is not the '60s, where it was popular to go against authority, question every good thing, and yell "Police brutality!" just because a law enforcement officer looks at you. The time for dismantling every good and necessary institution in our nation needs to come to an end, as does your tenure in office. You have been elected in a district that has been illegally and unconstitutionally gerimandered to favor you, and that is bad for America, bad for Mississippi, and bad for the Second Congressional District of Mississippi.

Representative Thompson is another reason why Barack Obama should not be elected President. Thompson is already Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee in the U.S. House under the liberal leadership of Nancy Pelosi, or "San Fran Nan," which is appalling. If Obama were elected President, then Thompson could end up a cabinet member. If U.S. Representatives were chosen on a statewide basis, then Thompson could never get elected in Mississippi, where we have just filled seven of our eight statewide offices with Republicans (in the 2007 elections).

Thompson is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, anti-gun liberal Democrat who should be booted out of office, but the majority of his electorate is just like him, and they continue to reelect him, apparently not realizing that he is a major reason why they remain in poverty in one of the poorest congressional districts in the entire nation. However, there is a better candidate running for the seat in the November election. His name is Richard Cook, or Byram (a suburb of Jackson), and his website address is http://www.richardcookforcongress.com. If you live in District Two, then you might want to lend him your support. Even if you think he can't win, there's virtue in at least making a showing.

According to the Patriot Post, a U.S. Army soldier was punished this week for using a copy of an unholy book, the Koran, for target practice, and I'm guessing that it was worth the punishment to see that book that has misled so many people fly to pieces when the bullets hit it. I'd like to know how accurate his marksmanship was, and I'd love to see a photo of the Koran after that good soldier was finished with it. I wonder whether the Army let him keep that Koran. It would be a great souvenir. Even President Bush apologized for it. President Bush should take target practice at a copy of the Koran himself, on the White House lawn, with an Army-issue, M1911A1, .45 caliber pistol. It would do the whole world some good.

The ungodly people who control the mass media in America are again making a big deal over a Kennedy; this time, it's Ted. He has been diagnosed with malignant brain cancer, and they're using it as yet another excuse to promote the Kennedy family and to advance their ungodly agenda.

They say that Ted Kennedy has influenced every single piece of legislation that has come through the U.S. Senate since he was first elected to that body. I don't doubt it. But what they're not telling us is that he has influenced every single piece of legislation in a way that has been extremely bad for our country.

His father was guilty of money laundering, but cut a deal with the federal government and stayed out of jail in exchange for teaching them how it's done and helping them catch others who were involved in it. He paid a ghost writer to write a book titled Profiles in Courage and then put his son John's name on it as the author in order to help get him elected President. John, Bobby, and Ted have all been ungodly and have all been bad for this country. The fact that Ted now has brain cancer won't stop me from talking about it, and shouldn't stop anyone else from talking about it.

President George W. Bush, to his shame, while supposedly trying to prove that he could get along with the Democrats - something for which he was not elected, let Ted Kennedy write the education bill. In doing so, President Bush effectively sacrificed the majority of American children to the Democrats. Jesus says that for whoever causes even one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for him to have a millstone (a huge, very heavy stone) tied around his neck and to be cast into the sea. President Bush and Senator Kennedy are both guilty of causing our nation's children to stumble, and they should be held accountable for it. Neither of them should have ever been elected to office. Bush won't be running for anything else, presumably, and that is a very good thing. The people of Massachusetts should not reelected Ted Kennedy if he runs for reelection, but they've reelected him for so long, I have to ask why. If anyone from Massachusetts reads this, please respond and tell me why in the world y'all vote Ted Kennedy back into office over and over again.

 

Every year, 200 million Christians are persecuted for their faith worldwide, and 45,000 are martyred (read murdered) for the same reason every year – because they chose to follow Jesus Christ, the One True God, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

There are at least 12 million illegal aliens in our country right now. We have also murdered right around 50 million of our own unborn children while still inside their mothers’ wombs through “abortion.” “To abort” means “to stop” or “to end.” What is being ended in an “abortion”? What is being ended is an innocent human life. It is being ended wrongly, and their blood is crying out to God for justice.

We can, and we should, repent of our sins of baby murder and of failing to protect our national borders and our national security by bringing in those 200 million brothers and sisters in Christ to live and work here permanently, by deporting those 12 million or so illegal aliens and not allowing them to re-enter our country (or by shooting and killing them), and by kicking all the liberals out of our State Department, because they are largely to blame for a lot of the problems we have with the illegal alien issue.

If you'll pardon another local story, I've written before about the illegitimate, unelected, so-called "government" we have in our community of Byram, Mississippi - a community of about 12,000 people who are trying to become a city. I've written before about how wrong it is for them to even call themselves a government, and how it must be illegal for them to do so, and also about how wrong our law enforcement officials are to allow this nonsense to go on.

Well, two things have happened recently to give me cause to think that they may now be at the beginning of getting their just desserts.

The first one was when, recently, it was announced where the boundary lines would be when Byram finally becomes an incoeporated city - and all five of the self-appointed "interim aldermen" were left outside of the city limits, meaning that they will not be elligible to run for REAL alderman positions after incorporation. Only the pretend mayor may be living inside what will be the city's boundary lines when we do become a city, and we had better make sure that we run someone better than him for REAL mayor when the time comes.

The second was the defeat of five-term State Senator Richard White in this year's November General Election. Now, I'm a Republican, and I don't want for the State Senate to be controlled by Democrats, which it now again is. But I also don't like it when an elected official - any elected official - takes it for granted that he will be reelected and ignores the people who he has been elected to represent. In my opinion, Senator White got too big for his britches, and the people of our majority Republican district taught him a lesson. This does not mean that the people in our district are now majority Democrat; it means that they had had enough of Richard White and voted for change. This fact is reinforced by two other facts - the fact that the people of the state house district that roughly encompases the same area reelected Jim Ellington as State Representative for a sixth term, even though he hasn't done a spectacular job himself, meaning that they must have been pretty mad at Richard White to have voted him out, and the fact that the people of Mississippi elected Republicans to seven of our eight statewide offices. This should be a lesson to any officeholder of any party: Don't take the people who elected you for granted. Work for them, do what's best for them, and let them know what you're doing, even when they disagree with you, because they have a right to know ... and because they do have the power to fire you. You may and probably will make some mistakes, but if you act like you don't care, then they may eventually send you home packing, and they should. Not that caring alone is enough - you need to also have skill and be right on the issues, but it is the first and most important quality in a statesman.

 

The community of Byram, Mississippi - where I live - has an illegitimate government. And no one is doing anything about it.

We are trying to incorporate and become a city, but we are not incorporated yet. However, there is a man named Nick Tremonte who has declared himself the "interim mayor." And there are five other people - Theresa Marble, Amy Douglas, Danny Ford, Kent Alday (the "President"), and State Senator Richard White - who have declared themselves an "interim board of aldermen." The senator really has no excuse. He knows better.

They claim that they were elected, but there is no record of that election anywhere, to my knowledge. If it exists, I'd like to see someone produce it for public perusal. There was definitely no election in 2005, the year that municipal elections would be held in Mississippi, to see whether we wanted to keep them or "throw the bums out." Now, that's job security. Good thing they're not being paid. They'd really be in there for life then.

This bunch is in collusion with the local monthly newspaper, The Byram Banner, and its editor and publisher, Donna Arnold. I have two e-mails that I could forward to you, upon request, that prove that no letter to the editor is published unless it "passes muster" with this illegitimate government. If they don't want your letter printed, then they say that your letter would be "divisive" and wouldn't promote "unity." Of course it wouldn't! The unity that they want is the unity that allows them to do anything they want. Anyone who is against them is a person who they call a divisive force, but we call that kind of person someone who understands and practices free speech and the freedom to disagree. "Interim government," if you want to govern in this nation of free people, you're going to have to learn to take the heat.

One more thing, they can dish it out but they can't take it. They published the names in The Byram Banner of all the people who live in the Brookwood Subdivision who are in danger of being annexed by Jackson and who are fighting it. Of course, that causes a delay in Byram's incorporation, but they have a right to protest being annexed by a failing city of which they don't want to be a part. Yes, they not only published their names, but they also openly encouraged the readers to contact them and express their displeasure with them. Now, this borders on harrassment. The good thing is that the "interim government" publishes their own names and phone numbers on page 2 of the newspaper, if you can call it a newspaper. We all need to call them and express our displeasure with them. And we need to tell Senator White, who is up for reeelection, that he needs to resign from that sham of a government, and if he doesn't, then we just might fire him from his job in the State Legislature.

There are at least five practical benefits of Christianity.
 
Christian principles produce a civilized society. Neither a good constitution nor good laws can help if the people who govern or the people who elect them are corrupt.

Christian principles are the key to the survival of our form of government, since the key

to a self-governing nation is self-governing citizens. If our citizens do not control

themselves, then government control must increase and individual freedom must

decrease. While civil law prohibits murder, religion addresses it before it occurs, while it

is still only a thought in the heart.

Christian principles produce good citizenship. Benjamin Franklin, among the least

religious of our Founders, wrote Thomas Paine after the publication of Age of Reason,

“Think how great a portion of mankind … have need of the motives of religion to restrain

them from vice, to support their virtue….If men are so wicked with religion what would

they be if without it?”

The elevation of science, literature, knowledge, and national stature historically

accompany the open promotion of Christian principles. Justinian, Michelangelo, Defoe,

Swift, Bunyan, Milton, Calvin, Bach, Handel, Bacon, Montesquieu, Locke, daVinci,

Newton, Kepler, Galileo, and others were all openly professing Christians. Dr. Benjamin

Rush said, “The greatest discoveries in science have been made by Christian philosophers

and … there is the most knowledge … where there is the most Christianity.”

Teaching Christian principles produces a cohesive culture, necessary for governing a

large nation with people from scores of different backgrounds and ethnicities.

This past Friday, February 2, 2007, the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, issued an executive order requiring all girls, upon entering the sixth grade - or, at about age 11 - to be immunized against HPV, or the human papilloma virus. Governor Perry and I are both Republicans, but he is not the first member of my own political party with whom I have found myself in vehement disagreement.

While HPV does cause cervical cancer, HPV is transmitted through sexual contact. A better course of action for Texas to take, rather than mandating more immunizations for the children of their state, is to work for abstinence until marriage, and fidelity within marriage, with it being understood that marriage is for as long as both the man and his wife shall live, preparing couples for marriage, and discontinuing the easy divorce which shatters families, many times plunges the women and children of divorce into poverty, and harms children most of all, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. Forcing these immunizations on girls, not yet even women, and even against their will, is sending them the message, "Yes, we do believe the very worst in you, that you are going to be promiscuous, we do believe that you will commit fornication - having sex without being married (for you who have never heard that word, maybe because it hasn't been used, even in church, for far too long), and we are going to forcibly immunize you so that at least, maybe, you won't get one certain disease among many that you may likely get if you engage in this behavior." This executive order goes against the Biblical commands to teach our children to walk in the ways of the Lord, to promote personal and corporate holiness in our people, to believe the best that you can possibly believe about people, and to love one's neighbor as oneself. After all, would you want an unwanted and unnecessary immunization forced on you?

And why was an executive order necessary. Well, it wasn't. The issue was already before the Texas legislature. Of course, the pharmaceutical company that makes the vaccine, Merck and Co., has made donations to various Texas lawmakers and to a group called Women in Government, an organization that has lobbied heavily in several states for mandatory HPV vaccinations. Well, Texas has just become the first to mandate these unnecessary vaccines, which are also intrusions into the private lives and personal freedoms of every little girl and every family with children in their state. And in my opinion, this push for these mandatory vaccines is not to protect the public health, as it is clearly better to push for abstinence until marriage and fidelity within marriage. This push is clearly for profit, and the Holy Word of God has already told us that when someone loves money, they will do anything to get it. I believe that includes "Pier Sixing" our children's health in order to get the money that pays for whatever manifold sins that they are already involved in, or want to be involved in, which take so much money to pay for.

But there is another factor involved in the push to speed things up. A rival company, GlaxoSmithKline, is close to releasing a similar drug, which would create competition for Merck. Merck simply wants to corner the market and make their money before the other guy can cut into their profits.

It is not money, but the love of money, that is a root of all kinds of evil, and the love of money in this sorry case in Texas is clearly a root of the evil order just handed down by that state's chief executive. This is just another example of why we, the people of this country, should prefer only Christians who act and vote like Christians to rule over us. I'm just glad that I don't have a daughter who hasn't yet made it past the sixth grade in Texas. If I did, I'd be looking for a job in some other state, where, hopefully, the best possible things are believed about my children and about the rest of my family, and not the worst.
