Both buses pulled out of the Ocoee Walmart a little after 3 PM, last Friday afternoon, headed for Washington, DC and Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally.

The 13-hour overnight ride put us in the Rosslyn staging area, just across the river from the Lincoln Memorial. Watching the mini-series John Adams on video helped put us in an appropriate frame of mind for the coming day’s marathon of activity. After freshening up and having a great sunrise breakfast buffet, on the 17th floor of the Holiday Inn, we piled on the subway for the quick trip over to the Mall.

“We must call upon God, and He will see us through.” — Glenn Beck

America will not survive the political and social trials that are to come if we are not engaged in the fight to protect our Judeo-Christian beliefs and our American way of life. We do not want to become a socialist country by “forcing Peter to give to Paul.”

Redistribution of wealth is immoral. We will head in the wrong direction by continually pushing our nation into socialism. We must stop it at the ballot box.

9/11 Damage

By Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

It is hard to believe that liberal politicians and some media are saying that those who oppose the mosque at Ground Zero are using the issue to divert attention away from real issues like the economy. They have labeled the naysayers as Islamophobes: a term that has less meaning today than ever before. Here’s why.

The vast amount of American blood spilled at Ground Zero is not something that can ever be reduced to an “issue” or a “diversion.” To suggest that, indicates that something has been lost in the realm of honor, respect and love for our countrymen. Have we come to that? According to most polls across the nation we have not. Politicians and media have not yet supplanted the will and voice of the people, just yet.

Having spent time describing the three unalienable rights of life, liberty and property upon which our Republic was founded and from which all others flow it is necessary to speak of the natural responsibilities which form their inverse image.  Peering through the looking glass at original intent we try to make sense of the present wonderland where rights and responsibilities are never what they seem.

There are five natural responsibilities.  First, we’re responsible for our actions.  No one can make us do anything.  Even when forced it is still us who must make our muscles move and make our voices speak.   We are responsible for the validity of our word and it should be our bond that we will do what we have said we will do when we have said we will do it.   Second, each person is responsible for their own sustenance.  We should provide for ourselves not expecting others to meet our needs or supply us with the comforts we desire.  Third, we are responsible for our children.  It is the duty of every parent to provide for the physical, emotional and spiritual support of our children until they are old enough to care for themselves.  Fourth we are responsible for the fulfillment of all contracts we have freely accepted.   And fifth, everyone has a responsibility to a social system which provides them freedom to use their own talents and energy for their own goals.

The History Channel cooks up a nice pot of Nostradamus and eschatological soup with their multi episodic “The Nostradamus Effect.” As usual their best is salted with doubt, dissing and secularist expertise that would be better used in a college course entitled “Unbelief 101.”

When the best minds have done their worst at sliming the “rapture” (The instant removal of believers at the approach of the antichrist.) you get the feeling that the world went to get a palm reading from the local butcher. After slicing away at unwanted life lines and other superfluous indicators and lobbing off a few bothersome fingers that kept getting in the way, the seekers of the TV prognosticators are left to go out somewhere and bleed to death.

At the end of each episode the idea that any natural man would see the “rapture” teachings as doubtful, dubious and dumb can go either way. Is it the belief in the very clear biblical doctrine of the rapture or the History Channel production that is doubtful, dubious and dumb? The same bible that says the rapture is a forgone seems to answer the question with no doubt whatsoever. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1Cor 2:14)

As a Professor of History I can understand why most people dismiss History as boring.  It is usually presented as a static jumble of dates, names and events that must be memorized, regurgitated and with luck forgotten.  I have often marveled at the ability of students who can tell me how many points their favorite athlete scored in a mid-season game ten years ago or how many horsepower their favorite driver had under the hood five seasons back can’t seem to remember the relationship or the difference between the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution.

Instead of this rigid collection of repetitious minutia, History is a dynamic flow of reality that changes every day.  Not only is there more of it every day, thus changed by addition, it is also open to new interpretation and comprehension every day, thus changing by multiplication and division.

In Patrick J. Buchanan’s ground breaking book Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War the author presents the case that the Second World War was not precipitated by Germany’s attack upon Poland it was instead precipitated by the worthless guarantee given by Britain and France to an authoritarian Poland, which prevented it from avoiding war by returning the German city of Danzig to Germany.  A move even Neville Chamberlain thought would be fair.  Then when what would have been the fourth partition of Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union did occur it is forgotten by all that it was France and Britain that declared war on Germany not the reverse.  No matter whether you agree or disagree with this presentation of the same facts presented in opposite order as in American History classes or not, anyone would admit at least it made you think.

On January 20, 1961, newly elected president John F. Kennedy implored Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.”

Contrast this with a statement from a progressive I know, “I hate conservatives because Ronald Reagan ended a student loan program that would have let me go to college.”  My first two thoughts were:  ”Hey, I worked my way through college and you could have too!”  Secondly, I thought “Ronald Reagan didn’t do this to you specifically.  Trust me, he didn’t say “I’m going to screw this guy out of his college for some hateful conservative reason.”

This reminded me of the notion of “self-interest.”  Please don’t confuse self-interest with selfishness.  They are different.  All of us operate off of self-interest; the self-interest to succeed, stay alive, see our families thrive.  However, unhealthy self-interest is most closely aligned with selfishness.  I submit that anyone, of any political affiliation, that votes for a candidate or party because of what that candidate or party can do for them should be cautious.

Equality is a sacred word in the modern American lexicon.  It’s the politically correct positive to the negative of discrimination.  There’s a philosophy known as Egalitarianism based upon a belief in human equality in all social, political, and economic affairs.  This philosophy advocates the removal of all inequalities among people.  Egalitarianism is one of the foundational principles of the Progressives currently controlling the government of the United States.

As if America has fallen into a condition of protracted somnambulism, most public officials along with the summarily distracted citizens of our nation seem bent on plunging headlong to their own demise: but why? We’re not yet the walking dead, but we may be close to a nation of sleep walking dullards who need to wake up before we lose everything.

Not a day passes when someone does not read my article entitled, Prophecy 2010 – America Approaches the Fork in the Road either on my website or one of the dozen or so other sites that have published it. It indicates to me that there are a growing number of people who sense that we are living in turbulent times and they are trying to make sense of it all.

Recent Pew reports indicate that forty percent of Americans believe that Christ will return by 2050. Although I would argue that it will be much sooner than that, I stand amazed that in spite of Muslim encroachment, apostate churches falling rapidly and a deepening of licentiousness and immorality a lot of believing American Christians are still holding the line.
