    vided in the Constitution. Te reasons are multiple: a weak churchdevoid o application o spiritual truth, a corrupt governmentand special interest groups wanting only their agendas; but more

    than anything else A GROSS LACK OF AWARENESS!We, as a church and as a nation, have allen prey to the old-

    est seduction on this planet and this, more than any other singleactor, will lead to the destruction o America. We have becomecodependent. rue codependence is when an individual, becauseo his eelings o lack and inadequacy, looks outside o himsel tomeet needs that only God can meet in his heart! We have beensystematically programmed to become a codependent nation. Weexpect the government to meet needs that it cannot meet. Weexpect the government to make us sae, prosperous, educated,healthy and happy. Welare recipients do not make us a welarenation! We are a welare nation because we look to the govern-ment to meet a need that can only be met through a meaningul

    relationship with Jesus! We languish in Spiritual poverty thinkingthe need can be met socially, economically or politically!

    Te Treat From Within

    Te greatest threat to any amily, organization or nation is al-ways rom within. Sadly, in the case o our reedoms, the enemiesare well meaning but misinormed idealists, the selsh and those

    with personal agendas they desire to impose on others, blind tothe consequences o their actions.

    Trough a deliberate process our understanding o reedomhas become so warped that in attempting to protect our currentreedoms we are taken into mass captivity! By redening ourounding athers ideals, those who seek our demise use our ig-norance against us. We have been manipulated to deend andnance the very eorts designed to bring about our countrys de-mise!

    When our ounders talked about religious reedom they weretalking about Christian reedom. History proves that reedom oreligion does not mean reedomrom religion. Te ounding a-thers did not mean to prevent prayer in school, Congress or other

    public settings. Tey meant the government could pass no lawspreventing or limiting the reedom o religion, which is the oppositeo how reedom o religion is interpreted today. In its original

    use it meant the government could not interere with the church.In the United States, the term is an oshoot o the phrase,

    wall o separation between church and state,as written in TomasJeersons letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. Teoriginal text reads: Believing with you that religion is a matterwhich lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account tonone other or his aith or his worship, that the legitimate powers ogovernment reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate withsovereign reverence that act o the whole American people which de-clared that their legislature should make no law respecting an es-tablishment o religion, or prohibiting the ree exercise thereo, thusbuilding a wall o separation between Church and State.Jeersonreected his requent speaking theme that the government is not

    to interere with religion. (Wikipedia)Since our nations birth, orces opposed to both God and

    reedom have worked to undermine the values that make ournation unique. In time our greatest enemies realized they couldoverthrow America not by orce, but by deception. Te great de-ception at work in our country today is the ignorance o the es-sential role spiritual values and morality play in maintaining our

    reedom, the lack o a unctional knowledge o our Constitutionand an honest interpretation o American History.

    Humanism

    At the root of all anti-God movements is the ideology of Hu-manism that takes on many forms, from the open opposition toGod to a watered-down Christianity. Humanism places man atthe center of the equation, and the source of all wisdom. Man be-comes a god unto himself. Humanism was born in the Garden ofEden when Adam gained the knowledge of good and evil, seekingto be god of his own world! Every religion that has deviated fromthe truth of God has done so on the basis of personal revelation repeating Adams original sin and the expression of Humanism.

    Communism (organized humanism) hates God and is calledthe opiate o the masses. When people have an abiding trust inGod they experience grace, an internal strength that cannot be

    conquered by outside orces. It is always the goal o a communistpower to disconnect man rom a relationship with the true andliving God. Tis can be done by creating a religion or by inect-ing Christianity with humanist concepts until it has a orm ogodliness but no power! When true worship o God is removedthrough alse science, twisted history, the educational system,public humiliation and eventually persecution, the people are

    disempowered.

    Governments need war, calamity or threat o impending di-saster to keep the people dependent on them. Politicians buildtheir election on pointing out or creating a crisis and then o-ering the solution (a popular saying in politics is, Never let acrisis go to waste.). Tose who depart rom this strategy to deal

    with the real issues seldom win. Americans have become so de-tached rom an intimate relationship with God that they quicklyrespond to the codependent tactics o master manipulators muchmore readily than the simple solutions revealed in Gods Wordand historic evidence

    Many churches have become so humanistic they have noconcept o ollowing Jesus as Lord. Tey have become so control-

    ling that the average believer has little capacity to hear or ollowGod rom his own heart. Tese believers have allen into thecodependent trap o seeking someone or something else to givethem what no one but God can supply!

    Legalism and mysticism are so prevalent that people have nosense o how to apply Gods Word to everyday lie. Beyond a list

    o dos and donts the Bible is pretty much irrelevant to the major-ity o those who call themselves Christian. Tereore, the wisdomand inuence o Gods Word is virtually absent rom the politicalpositions o the church! People vote their choice with little or nosubmission to the Lordship o Jesus as expressed in Gods Word!

    Te Party Spirit and Partisan Politics

    In the book o Galatians the Apostle Paul warned against theworks o the esh. In that list o destructive behaviors was a party

    spirit. Tis is a person who goes along with his party, group orculture (Democrat or Republican, Baptist or Methodist, Catholicor Charismatic). Paul then warns about the destruction o sowingto the esh.

    Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; orwhatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For

    he who sows to his esh will o the esh reap cor-ruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will o theSpirit reap everlasting lie(Gal 6:7-8).

    When we vote along party lines with no knowledge o theindividual candidates, we are participating in a work o the esh(a party spirit). I we ignore Gods wisdom on this, the end will

    be corruption and destruction.We Are the Governments Advisors

    Our government needs wise advisors. Lobbyists, special inter-est groups and corrupt politicians surround it. Washington poli-ticians live in a logic so ar removed rom Main Street Americathey have no clue what we want or what makes the country work.

    We must be theircounselors by voting intelligently. Our rightand responsibility to vote makes us as the advisors to the King,or in this case, our government. Te wisdom o the men aroundhim was one o the actors that made the reign o King Davidso eective. Te rst book o Chronicles (12:32) says they had,understanding o the times, to know what Israel ought to do. Wecan restore this wisdom and understanding to our government.

    Te poor state America is in today is a result o lies replacingthe truth. Te special interest groups that counsel Washington(inuence political decisions) dont know and dont care aboutthe consequences o their passions upon the nation. Tey justwant what they want! Tose o us who can make a dierence havebecome complacent and neglected our right and responsibility to

    Te Greatest Treat to American Freedom

    manage our reedom! We have trusted others in areas we shouldnever have given our trust. We have asked politicians to lead uswhen we should be leading them!

    Republican, Democrat or Believer

    Tis is not about Democrats and Republicans; it is aboutbeing a believer, committed to the Lordship o Jesus. Tis meanswe make all o our lie decisions based on Gods Word not ourpersonal preerences. Te moral ailure o this country and othe world at large has been a ailure o the church collectively.

    But the ailure o our government has been the ailure o believ-ers individually. We have surrendered our power to those whohate our country, hate our reedoms and hate our God! We didntthink or ourselves. We hired people to think or us, control ourmoney, education and economy and never checked to see whatthey were doing. We made excuses or reckless, idiotic decisions.But excuses dont pay the bills and payment is about to come due!

    Like any truth that has the power to set you ree, there isplenty o opportunity to be oended, whether Republican orDemocrat. But I am pleading with Christians everywhere to giveup their blind political alliances and vote based on Gods Word,and based on the track record o those who ask or our trust! Besure o this, their speeches are no indicator o their track record.

    Teir voting record belies their speeches and reveals their trueagenda. I you do not know the candidates voting record, you aremaking some o the most important decisions o your lie withyour eyes closed.

    We Are A Republic Not A Democracy

    I heard a caller comment on a radio talk show recently that

    shook me to my core. Te show host was taking commentsabout what it meant to have reedom. Te caller said, We are ademocratic nation. Tereore, reedom is what the majority o peoplewant.I cant tell you in how many ways this statement is socially,politically and morally incorrect. I was reminded that the igno-rance o members o both parties is ultimately responsible orthe corruption o our nation - ignorance o our history, o our

    political process, and why and how our government is organizedas it is. Be sure o this, the government o our nation was organizedto acilitate the optimal environment or reedom or all men.

    Tis is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue! Tis is an Amer-ican citizen issue. Tis is about a gross ignorance plaguing ourcountry, especially or the last sixty years. Tis small book ad-dresses important concepts that will help us, as believers and citi-zens, understand how we should approach political issues.

    Te rst thing we must understand is this: our country is not

    a democracy; it is a republic! A republic is governed by a Consti-tution not by the majority vote. We do have a democratic processor electing ofcials and passing laws. However, as a republic, wecannot pass laws that violate the Constitution, nor should weallow any politician to hold ofce or pass laws that violate theConstitution.

    Our Constitution was written to provide us with reedom ascitizens. Te Constitution was not written to govern the people.Te Constitution was written to govern the government!It was writ-ten to make it clear that government could not inringe uponour God given rights and reedoms. It was written to protect thecitizens rom the government.

    Tere is a movement in both parties called Progressivism.

    Tat is such a positive sounding term; ater all who would wantto be archaic or out o date? Te Progressiveseel we should up-date our Constitution to make it more relevant with the times.People ignorantly buy into this concept only because they do notunderstand the purpose o the Constitution and the reedom itprovides.

    I recently heard a politician say, our ounders could not haveknown about the Internet and the types o laws we must pass toprotect our people. We nod our heads to this logic because it isobviously true. But the lie is in the act that the Constitution is notabout governing the people, it is about governing the government.Our ounders didnt need to understand the Internet they onlyneeded to understand human nature and its endless desire to rule

    over others. So the Constitution, which cannot address the Inter-net, does say, no matter what comes, you cannot pass laws thatviolate the reedoms o the people.

    Our ounding athers understood the oppression o tyranni-cal kings and dictatorial rulers. Tey had seen, rst hand, whathappens when all power belongs to the state. Tey realized thati the government had too much power it would always abuseit, and it would always enslave its citizens. Tereore, the idea olimited government was woven throughout our Constitution asthe only way to ensure that our nation would remain ree.

    A New Level of Christian Responsibility

    We have political reedoms that were unheard o in the bibli-cal times and thereore are not directly addressed in Scripture.One thing that is addressed throughout the Bible, especially inthe parables o Jesus and in the New estament epistles is that

    our ability to experience reedom is in direct proportion to ourwillingness to accept personal responsibility! In a country thatgives us the opportunity to express our political choices, votingis one o our highest orms to personal responsibility. Forsakingpersonal responsibility and expecting a good outcome is idealis-tic, nave and ungodly!

    We not only have the responsibility to vote, we have the re-

    sponsibility to vote with political intelligence and spiritual con-gruency with Gods Word. As American citizens we should voterst and oremost in ways that acilitate the opportunity or spiri-tual reedom and godly values. We cannot violate Gods Wordin our political positions. Secondly, as citizens we should alwaysvote in ways that uphold the Constitution o the United States.(I recommend Hillsdale College ree Constitution 101 course.)

    Free Enterprise

    In the United States, we have systematically been ed misin-ormation about our ounding athers. In spite o the propaganda,the values o our ounders and ree enterprise have maintainedour reedom. Free enterprise, like any system, is not perect. It is

    13

    Te Greatest Treat to American Freedom

    not always humane. But there is a reason ree enterprise is crucialto our individual liberties. When all is said and done, ree enter-prise keeps money in the hands o the people.

    Some who do not understand economics talk about the cor-ruption o the small percentage o Americans who control thecountrys wealth. What they ail to see is this: i the governmentgets control o the money the countrys wealth will be controlledby an even smaller, more corrupt group o people. Te uniqueeature about this group is that the government does not makeany moneyorthe people they only take moneyrom the peo-ple. Te more money the government gets, the bigger it grows.Te bigger it grows the more money it takes to sustain it, whichmeans there is no end to taxes.

    Even when greedy men control the money, their desire tomake more money causes them to create more jobs. Tey mayget an unair share o the money, but at least they create some-

    thing as a result. Greed is wrong, but so is oppressive governmentand social programs that produce generations o people with nocondence or dignity. Free enterprise was written into the abrico our nation, because nancial reedom is essential or personalreedom. Our country has always had the largest middle class inthe world and it is the middle class that keeps a country working,productive and ree. Primarily ree enterprise was Gods plan or

    man rom the very beginning. He sent man rom the Garden intothe world and told him to be ruitul and multiply.

    Choose Your Greed

    Most Americans think Wall Street caused the collapse o thehousing market - one o the primary actors that led to our cur-rent nancial crisis. It wasnt Wall Street; it was government. Inthe name o social justice to the poor and underprivileged, thegovernment orced banks to lower their standards or home mort-gages and up the percentages that could be loaned against the val-ue o the property. In other words, a socialist economic conceptthat violated ree enterprise, biblical concepts o surety, commonsense and long standing proven business practices caused the col-

    lapse. It wasnt the absence o government regulation that got uswhere we are today; it was the involvement o government in reeenterprise that collapsed our economy. And it was the same socialist

    concepts that allowed the Fed to print money or a ailed stimulusthat urther devalued our dollar, pushing us urther rom a reemarket recovery! Now it is that same government telling us thati we give them more power, in the orm o regulations, they willonce and or all ree us rom the corrupt capitalists!

    Te Enemy of America

    Te true hatred o America is a spiritual issue that has to dowith our values and reedoms, and the godly oundation romwhich they were derived. America is not the beacon o righteous-ness it once was, but we are a nation that was built on the concepto GOD-GIVEN-FREEDOM, not government given reedom.Te nations that hate us embrace an anti-God, anti-Christ world.Americas destruction is necessary or their godless domination o

    the world to succeed!

    While we may have been led by godless men with corruptagendas our Constitution has kept us on enough biblically basedground to prove these are the only truths that can produce thelevel o reedom, prosperity and happiness we experience as a na-tion. Te enemy o God and man wants to destroy any mention

    o God rom the ace o the earth.Troughout history we have been oered the idea o a uto-

    pian world where everyone is happy and all o our needs are met.But this utopia always requires surrendering our reedom tosome humane leader who promises to do or man what onlyGod Himsel can do. Anyone who oers us a better world bythe rule o man is a deceiver. Anyone who oers utopia deniesthe biblical concepts o sel-rule within a limited government.Utopias deny the basic nature o man. In this generation the uto-pian promise has come through communism and its subsequentideologies.

    Tose who would sell us the lie o utopia blame our govern-ment or our problems. Te only solution then, is to change o

  • 7/30/2019 Greatest Threat to American Freedom

    15

    Te Greatest Treat to American Freedom

    our government. Te problem however is not government, it iscorrupt people in government. We dont need a change o govern-ment; we need a change o leaders!

    Most o us believe that the all o the USSR brought an endto communism and its dream o world domination. Communistideologues didnt give up their ideas when the USSR ell, theysimply dressed in a dierent suit o clothes and called themselvesby a new name. Teir philosophies live on in the hearts o everyindividual who desires to see a godless world ruled by an elitegroup that believes they know what is best or mankind. Tisbelie system rejects aith in God and replaces it with trust in thestate.

    Because America is more about an idea than a territory, ourenemy is not seeking to take away our land as much as it is seekingto destroy our God-based values. Communism and its oshootsare the enemies o the American idea! Communism, extreme so-

    cialism, and progressivism in their various orms are Americas en-emies and enemies o God. Tis, by no means, absolves extremeright wing idealism o its demonically inspired ideas. Te extremeright seeks to exploit our reedoms to ulll its own agenda. Teextreme let seeks to exploit our reedoms to destroy us. Tis doesnot mean every individual in the extreme right or let believes heis an enemy o God or America. Jesus warned o those who would

    kill and persecute His ollowers and honestly believe they are do-ing God a service.

    Useful Idiots

    Russian leader Vladimir Lenin used the term, useul idiots todescribe Soviet sympathizers in Western countries. Te implica-tion was that although the people in question navely thought othemselves as an ally o the Soviet Union, they were actually heldin contempt and were being cynically used. (Wikipedia)

    On the right and on the let there are extremists who woulduse others to ulll their corrupt political, social, spiritual andnancial agendas at any cost. A little closer to center, there aredevotees to the party that buy-in to the idealism but do not ully

    embrace the corruption. But the majority o members o bothparties are useul idiots - people blindly ollowing their partywho dont understand the acts, dont believe the truth, dont

    know the Constitution and certainly dont know Gods Word.Daddy was a Democrat, so am I. Granddaddy was a Republican,so am I.Most are blind pawns unaware or reusing to admit thedarkness that consumes the world. Tey have no concept o thedeeper more maniacal agendas o both parties true movers andshakers.

    Anyone who would bother to read communist writings romthe 1950s knows there has been a systematic plan to overthrowthe world primarily through misinormation and chaos. Journal-ism and the media were the rst areas o American society to allalmost completely under the inuence o communist thought.Ten our universities came under strong communist inuence inthe 1950s and 1960s when extreme letists and actual card car-

    rying communists inltrated our institutions o higher learning.Because o media bias, the subsequent inltration o our judicialsystem and the bizarre concept otenureit was all but impossibleto rid our schools o the radical idealists who promoted socialunrest and outright anarchy. Ater McCarthy no one dare pointout the obvious: i these educators were shaping our greatest youngminds, what would our country be in just a ew generations?

    oday it is rare to nd a schoolteacher that hasnt been inu-enced in extreme letist ideals. And those teachers, who embraceconstitutional, biblical or spiritual values, are strongly censoredto limit their ability to teach the truth. American history has beenrewritten to change the mindset o millions o vulnerable stu-dents. Intelligent Design which is a much more scientic logicthan Evolution is all but outlawed among educators and scien-tists. All o this became systemic with the birth o the Depart-ment o Education (more government).

    Te ideas o extreme letist inuencers ound their way intomainstream America in the wake o 1960s corruption. Vietnamwas an immoral war that provided the perect backdrop or revo-lution against the system. Both parties were so corrupt that trust

    or government as a whole was all but gone. Chaos, which is nev-er o God is always one o the primary tools o those who wish tomobilize the useul idiots. In chaos, the attacking group creates a

    straw man.Te straw man is an imaginary enemy created rom aallacy concerning the opposing position. oday, or example, thelet may ask, Do you want Obamacare or do you want to abandonthe elderly?Misrepresenting the Republican Party position cre-ates the straw man. No one wants to abandon the elderly, but ithe question is asked in a deceptive manner it makes those whodo not know the acts think only these two options exist. Te

    let has created an enemy that doesnt exist. Useul idiots in bothparties argue points that have no basis in act! When the actualacts can never be discussed there is obviously chaos and massdeception!

    Te Corruption of our Judicial System

    Among the many goals the communists stated they would

    pursue in order to destroy America was the breakdown o ourjudicial system. According to their own literature they would socorrupt our judicial system, create so many contradictory laws,and so rustrate the nation that people would give up hope oever receiving air treatment in court. Te rustration would orcepeople to revolt as the only option to receive air treatment.

    oday our courts exercise power never given to them by theConstitution. Precedence seems to carry as much weight as theConstitution. Precedence works along an ever-shiting rule that,over time, ends up so ar removed rom its origin as to be consti-tutionally unrecognizable.

    Our judges are being trained in international law as our poli-ticians attempt to undermine our autonomy and bring us underthe rule o international law. International law violates our sov-ereignty as a nation and ignores our Constitution. Both partiesdo it, and we let them! When we vote or a politician who hascompromised our sovereignty through international law we areconspirators in treason!

    Our ounders stated that the laws must be simple and ew,

    especially our ederal laws. All laws that are not addressed in theConstitution all under the jurisdiction o the states. However,through taxation the ederal government rapes the states o mon-

    ey that should be used as the states see t. It then oers thatmoney back to the states in the orm o ederal unding; but ed-eral unding always comes with bureaucratic, unconstitutionalregulations and stipulations.

    Chaos: Te Environment of Evil

    Another communist goal is the inltration o radical groups.

    Communists dont care about the groups ideas; they just wantchaos and conict. Tey und and organize groups with extremeideologies that destroy traditional American and human values.Ten these groups attack via the same ailed court systems thatthey helped to destroy. oday the ACLU, Freedom From Religionand other anti-God, anti-religion groups look or opportunitiesto take away religious and personal reedoms by suing individu-

    als, cities, states, and the ederal government. Most schools arearaid to have prayer, even though it could be done legally. Tecost o a lawsuit is more than the average school or municipalitycan bear.

    Since the time o the Warren court our nation has beenooded with pro-communist, anti-American laws. Frivolous law-

    suits overwhelm our courts to such a degree that murders, rapistsand embezzlers are ree or years beore their day in court. In thename o airness, criminals have more rights and protection thanvictims. Te victim will seldom be recompensed or his or herlosses.

    Te right to deend yoursel or your property, which is pro-vided in the Constitution, has been all but taken away. When wedo not have the right to protect our own amilies and property,that power is given to the state. In some states, i someone brokeinto your home and you killed him as he was attempting to rapeyour wie, you could be tried or murder.

Tose who are poor,regardless o the reason, are the oppressed. It is a classic case ocalling evil good and good evil.

    In the name o social airness those who work or a living andbecome successul are villains. Tose who live irresponsibly arevictims o an oppressive society who deserve our nancial sup-port. We make special laws or those who are less ortunate, sowe have multiple standards. With the advent o godless, human-istic psychiatry the idea was introduced into society that indi-viduals are not responsible or their actions. Instead, society is

    responsible or the wrong actions o the individual. Tereore,society must be changed to acilitate those who do wrong. Sadly,I see this spilling over into the church. Any church that is so outo touch with Gods values supports the humanism that opposesall that Jesus taught and died or, and calls it love!

    One o the great aims o the letist agenda is the disarming oour nation. It is nearly impossible to overthrow a well-armed na-tion. Te only reason the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms

    is or personal protection: protection rom those who would harmyou and PROECION FROM AN OU OF CONROLGOVERNMEN.

    Te Greatest Treat to American Freedom

    there is a movement to take guns away rom innocent people.Why isnt there an outcry or a speedy trial and severe punish-ment? Gods Word never indicated that leniency toward those

    who do harm would reduce crime or protect the innocent!I people are marching in the streets or a speedy trial and an

    assurance that such a person will NEVER be ree to repeat thosesame crimes we could solve the criminal problems that plague ourcountry. I people in that theater had been exercising their rightto bear arms and protect themselves there would have been a deadmurderer and ewer, i any, innocent dead. But i that happened,these same human rights groups would have been outraged thatyou protected the innocent and took the lie o a murderer. Teyare not interested in protecting anyone, they are interested incontroversy and chaos; they are interested in disarming America.

    Regardless o how you eel about the right to own a per-sonal rearm, you should remember, it is nearly impossible to

    overthrow a country where the citizens are armed. I am deeplyconvinced that i the laws gave citizens more o a right to deendthemselves against criminals, provided proper training, and didthorough background checks, crime in our country would belower than any place in the world.

    to overturn destructive policies.

    Every President in my adult lie has known Social Securitywas going broke, yet neither party has done anything to protectit!

    Special reatment for Special Classes

    Class warare is a primary strategy o Communism. Human-ists present themselves to be more righteous and more merciulthan God. Under the cloak o social justice, airness and human-ity they resist punishing the evil and seek to establish special lawsor dierent classes o people.

    Te book o Leviticus made it clear that peoples gits to thepriesthood were to be on the basis o percentages, thereore allpeople were giving equally, relative to their resources. oday thelet wants to tax people based on their income. Te only truly airtax is a at tax or all!

    Te poor are given special consideration in the courts, inpaying taxes and in being accountable or personal responsibil-

    ity - because they are poor. But Leviticus 19:15 states: You shalldo no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, norhonor the person o the mighty. According to Gods Word show-ing partiality to the poor is just as wicked as showing honor tothe rich. But the church ails to make its political, social or civicchoices based on the Bible, because it doesnt apply biblical prin-ciples to real lie.

    Both sides are robbing the people. Te right wants ewertaxes on investment. Te let wants the poor to pay no taxes andto receive benets. Both sides use their positions to buy votes. Itis true that the wealthy build business, the poor and the govern-ment DO NOHING FOR HE ECONOMY. But accordingto Gods Word neither should get any type o special treatment.

Allthe while the Democrats supported segregation and opposed civilrights on most ronts. Ten, as blacks began to vote, they real-ized that without the black vote they would orever lose politicalpower in America.

    At the same time the communists realized that blacks weremuch more deeply entrenched in their Christian aith thanwhites. Statistics indicated that more black women were mar-rying than white women. Blacks were more committed to theiramilies than whites and an incredibly positive transormationwas occurring in the black community.

    Welare is a biblical concept, i it is handled in a biblical way.Te biblical orm o welare is that work is provided or the per-son who is able to work. Te poor were allowed to glean the

    elds. But they had to do the work themselves. Resources wereonly given to those who were incapable o working. But Ameri-can welare is not designed to give a hand up to get the poor outo their problems; it is designed to give a hand out that makesthem dependent on the system.

    A recent study suggested that i any group o people live inpoverty or three generations, it is virtually impossible or uturegenerations to break ree o that poverty. We understand now,by cellular biology and by the Gods Word that once three gen-erations do or believe anything the ourth generation comes intothe world hardwired to embrace those behaviors or belies. Tatswhy the Bible says that iniquity is visited upon the third andourth generations. Tat isnt God making it happen, it is man-

    kind making it happen because o continuing in the ailures oprevious generations.

    While I am a strong believer in welare, I am completely op-posed to anything that would make people captive to welare andslip into the codependent mindset. Welare - money without re-sponsibility - makes people eel powerless. It makes them a slaveto their provider. Eventually they lose belie in themselves; they

Tere are not enough rich peoplein the country to pay or our entitlement programs no matterhow much they are taxed! Studies show that i the government

    Politicians should not be allowed to vote to determine theirpay.

    All ederal, state, county or city employees should be paid

    based on the average pay in their community or similarskills and would only have a retirement package comparableto their community. ALL civil employees should be subjectto regular perormance evaluations available to the public.

    Tese are all laws we could pass i we had the will to do it. Iwe do not take control o the government, which is completely

    within our rights, power, and responsibility the government willtake control o us in ways that are not within the rights and pow-ers granted in the Constitution or the Bible. I we do not actsoon, we lose the reedom to take such action!

    America is not the problem. America is not its people or itspoliticians. America is the ideals and values written in our Dec-

    laration o Independence and Constitution. Tose who do notembrace those ideals are anti-American; they are the problem!We have allowed these sinister orces to undermine our nationand orce us into economic, social and political upheaval. Tegroups that promote the problems, and then promote the rebel-lion against America as the solution arent attacking the problem,they are attacking the Constitution. Tey want us to surrender

    our God-given rights as expressed in the Constitution so they canbe our god!

    Te only thing that makes America not work is the abandon-ment o the ideas that made it great. We are too ignorant, sel-ish or apathetic to hold those in government responsible to theConstitution. So ater they destroy our nation by violating theConstitution they will tell us that the Constitution is the prob-lem. In our codependent need or the government to save us wewill throw away our Constitution and be enslaved by humanistideologies because the idea o reedom that was America is gone!

    has been our job to live, model and vote the values o our aith!We have miserably ailed! Te church has abandoned the Lord-ship o Jesus. Instead o accepting the Bible or what it says, we

    have chosen the parts we like and twisted the parts we dont like.We think we are more righteous than God (Job 34:5). We rejectthe Creators insight into the creation and then, in our pride andunbelie, we cant imagine why our world is not working! LikeProverbs says, we ruin our lives by our own oolishness and thenget angry with God (Pr 19:3). Calling on God is a meaningless,religious, deceitul endeavor unless we are willing to ollow His

    Word or the solution! Our brilliant solutions contrived inde-pendent o His Word are proud and sel-righteous! I Jesus is ourLord, we look to the Word o God or ALL solutions to ALLproblems!

    Ronald Reagan came to power pretty much as a result o theChristian vote. But today Christians are disempowered through

    unbelie, apathy, ignorance and division, but mostly through alack o trust in Gods wisdom or governing lie and governments.

    Christians can change the ate o the nation. According to arecent article, Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential electionby 10 million votes. According to the same article 30 millionevangelical Christians did not vote in that election. We could havebeen the deciding actor but we werent! We stood on the sidelines! I

    we do that again, we will lose our country and our reedoms.

    I understand the rustration o those 30 million voters. I eltin the last election that we had a decision between an idealisticegomaniac that was ully committed to changing America intohis athers dream o an extremely socialist country, or an ideal-ist right-wing warmonger who believed America should be the

    worlds police orce. It wasnt much o a choice, but the choicethat was made has plunged our country into the deepest debtimaginable, betrayed our allies and put us in alliance with thosewho hate us and hate God!

    I we stay on this path America will cease to exist as we know

    it. Tat was the promise o this administration, We will unda-mentally change America.Because we did not look into Obamaspast we didnt realize what he meant by that statement. We didntrealize that Obamas dream would transorm us into an extremelyletist, humanistic anti-God nation that had abandoned its lawsand its people.

    Does this make the Right in the right? No! But it makes theright the lesser o the two evils and buys us a little more time andreedom with which we could bring about change or everyoneexcept the extremists on either side. Tey will only be satisedwhen they control our world and our minds. Do your home-work! Get the acts! Ten get out and vote! Failure to do the rightthing when it is within our power is just as much a sin as doing the

    wrong thing!

    oday, the government and the media, make us eel incapa-ble o managing our own lives. Tey are using the strategy intro-duced in the Garden and used by the destroyer ever since. Teyneed or us to eel that we are acing such a crisis that we couldnever survive without the governments help. Tey are making

    us codependent! Tey make us eel disempowered, then createa alse crisis and, just like the serpent, they oer us a solutionthat does not involve God! No one can rule over you unless yousuccumb to the eelings o lack and inadequacy that give rise tocodependency! Tats why we think we need more government,more programs, less reedom o choice, more regulations! Teone consistent message o government is you cant survive unless

    we do it or you!

    Media Propaganda

    Wright? Why, during the 2008 campaign, when Obama waspitching his hype about a new openness and ull disclosure, wasthe press wanting John McCains tax records but not asking ques-

    tions about Obamas 2008 disbarring by the Illinois State Bar?Why, when McCains voting record was being discussed by thepress, was it only Hillary Clinton pointing out Senator Obamasrecord o simply voting present without taking a clear standon many issues that he claimed such passion? When McCainspast was used to make him look like a warmonger, why wasntObamas long involvement with Marxist Communism, American

    terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorhn ever brought into thediscussion? Why, beore a recent press conerence were report-ers conspiring how to ask questions to make Romney look bad?Te role o a journalist, theoretically, is to report the acts so thepeople can make inormed choices. It is not a journalists role toshape the inormation and lead the public to make the choicespreerred by the media.

    Te mainstream media is the propaganda machine o the let.Tey shape the news and our view o the candidates. Proverbswarns o how oolish and dangerous it is to believe something ororm an opinion when we have only heard one side o the story.Sadly, we have become so complacent, so biased, so out o touchwith Gods Word that we think we can vote our preerences and

    not suer destructive consequences. Te person who acts with-out seeking out both sides o a story is an accomplice to the lie.Te Bible also teaches that when it is within our power to deliversomeone rom harm and we ail to do it we are as guilty as theperpetrator o the crime.

    We are accomplices in the crimes against our nation when weail to vote responsibly. Voting without knowing the acts says,I believed the lie and never did my own homework.It says, Iam a useul idiot.Or it could say, I am more committed to myparty than I am to the Lord Jesus.As a disciple o the Lord JesusI must be willing to put aside my personal preerences, searchor truth and, as a citizen, to vote based on which candidates lieand record upholds the values in Gods Word.

    must understand, believe and vote, based on the candidates trackrecord, not his promises. Does his voting record uphold the Con-stitution and the values o Gods Word? Tats all I need to know!

    Te Idealism of the Church

    Pauls admonition to pray or Kings and all who are in au-thority.(1 im 2:2) is or the benet o peace. It is only in peacethat we can serve God, spread the gospel and most eectively beabout the Fathers business.

    Paul was not so oolish as to claim that all rulers were godly.But he still encouraged us to pray or them. In Pauls day the peo-ple couldnt vote; praying was all they could do. Voting gives us apower that ew Christians have ever known, but the idealism othe church actually makes us much like a special interest group.

    Special interest groups pick their candidate based on one keyactor and close their eyes to other relevant actors. As such, we

    will put someone into ofce that supports a doctrine or idea thatis important to us, although every other aspect o his political his-tory says he will take away our reedoms. So, like a special interestgroup, we preserve our interests while destroying our country.

    o my knowledge, there has never been a President thatcould satisy all the interests o the church. So our only choice is

    to choose what we will overlook and what we will over empha-size. It is time or us to see the bigger picture. WE ARE ALWAYSVOING FOR HE LESSER OF WO EVILS. We must real-ize that in many instances, not voting means putting someoneinto ofce by deault who may be a much greater risk to ourbelies and reedoms.

    Many will not vote or Obama because he is in avor o gay

    marriage and abortion. However, those same people opposeRomney on the basis o his Mormon background. Many Chris-tians will eel they have no choice and not vote. But we must re-member, in 2008 the 30 million Christian evangelicals that didntvote decided the election by deault.

    We are not attempting to get a perect man in ofce. We are

    attempting the get the least damaging man in ofce. As such wehave peace, something the early church could only pray or, butwe can vote or. I we can get a man in ofce who is not a social-

    ist committed to the reduction o America and extreme letistagendas, we will buy the time to make changes in Congress, andeventually at the State level. But most importantly, we can getpeople in ofce who will uphold Gods values and the Constitu-tion. Based on the words and the track record o the extreme let,in our more years we may be too ar gone to make a dierence.YOU ARE NO VOING FOR HE MAN, YOU ARE VO-

    ING FOR HE IME O MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE!

    Te church has abdicated its moral leadership to government.Righteousness cannot be legislated. In the past our legalistic at-tempts to condemn evil ailed miserably. It is time that Christianswin the respect o the world by our character and integrity, be-come the inuence in our communities and then, through the

    inuence o our lives, bring others to the saving knowledge o theLord Jesus. Te very notion that government can solve the moralproblems o our nation is a testimony o our lack o trust in God,our naivety o mans allen nature and our complacency towardour responsibility in the world.

    ake Control of Your Own Life

    Reorm starts with the individual not the nation. I you canttake control o your own lie you will orever all into the trap olooking to and trusting the wrong people! Your archenemy, thedevil, has just one trick. He uses lies to make you eel you are notwho God says you are.

    Codependency starts with the eeling o lack. It is exagger-ated as we move to the victims mentality; it is consummated withthe idea o entitlement. Entitlement is a mentality that perme-ates the right and the let. It looks dierent in each party and iscreated with a dierent narrative, but you know your party hasstolen your soul when you eel they have the only answers andthey are your only hope.
