ObamaCare and Freedom of Religion

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

Well did Thomas Paine say, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

After Alexis de Tocqueville, a French Jurist, visited America in 1831, he wrote, “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there.  Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.  America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

This great nation was founded by those fleeing religious persecution from the tyrannical governments of Europe. Religious liberty was of so great importance to them and our Founding Fathers that they ensured our right to religious freedom as item one in our Bill of Rights. The First Amendment of our Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .” [Emphasis added.]

On 29 January, from the pulpits of every Catholic Parish in the United States, a letter was read (more…)

Can you tell the difference?

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

The following youtube clip show the State of the Union 2010, 2011, 2012.

Remember that game we used to play as kids where we looked at two pictures and tried to find the difference? Watch this clip of the state of the union and see if you can determine any difference in the rhetoric. Keep the tie the same, add a little Grecian Formula to the hair, and these clips could have been filmed on the same day!! Remember, Lenin also stuck to the same party line in every speech. (Alisnky’s rules for Radicals???)

The Commerce Clause

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Article I. Section 8. of our Constitution has a clause which has become known as the “Commerce Clause.” This clause states that the Congress shall have power – “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” [Emphasis added.] The effect of this clause is a grant of power to the federal government by We the People to regulate inter-state commerce between or “among the several States” but NOT intra-state commerce since intra-state commerce is contained within the boundary of a single State. This coupled with the Tenth Amendment which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people” has been a powerful check on the federal government’s intrusion into We the People’s private and personal business affairs.

An understanding of the Commerce Clause is very important for We the People. This is particularly true in the case of healthcare. The Affordable Health Care for America Act (ObamaCare) is presently before the Supreme Court. Many believe, including twenty-six States Attorney Generals, that ObamaCare violates the Commerce Clause as it requires individual citizens to purchase health insurance. This writer agrees with the States Attorney Generals’ position as explained in the following.

Regulation of insurance has always been a States Right. Each of the several States have their own (more…)

Pam’s Story

By Dr. Gerald B. (Jerry) Kieschnick
President Emeritus, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod
Presidential Ambassador for Mission Advancement,
Concordia University Texas

He is being mocked and ridiculed but he keeps bending that knee!!!

In a recent email, I read about a woman named Pam, who knows the pain of considering abortion. More than 24 years ago, she and her husband Bob were serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying for a fifth child. Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in contaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and was treated with strong antibiotics before they discovered she was pregnant.

Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety and (more…)

A NATIONAL VISION FOR 2012

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae Ducit !

Each of us, as individuals and as a nation, from time to time find ourselves at a crossroad or “The Forks in the Road.” Clara Keniston, in her poem by that title, has left us some wisdom concerning this time in our lives or the life of our Constitutional Republic.

Oh, could I go back to the forks of the road -
Back over the long miles I have carried the load;
Back to the place where I had to decide,
By this sign or that my footsteps to guide.

Back to the sorrow, back to the care,
Back to the place where the future was fair.
Oh, were I there now, decision to make,
My Father in Heaven, which road would I take?

We the People, individually and as a nation, are at such a junction in our history. We are eleven months away from the most important election this nation has ever seen. An election that will determine (more…)

The Conscience of a Christian Conservative

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

We, as a nation, are once again in the throws of a Presidential election. In just eleven months we will have to decide which direction we want our Constitutional Republic to go. The choice this election cycle is clearly one of the most, if not the most, critical We the People have had to make in our 225 years as a Constitutional Republic. The question of this election is nothing more nor less than do We the People want to remain a Constitutional Republic or do we want to move further to the Left toward Totalitarianism, remain a Republic just right of center,  or further to the Right toward Anarchy.

There are those on the Left, the Socialist-DINOs and the Progressives of both parties, who clearly want us to continue our march toward a totalitarian Welfare Socialist State with those in power forming an oligarchy while We the People become servants [slaves] dependent on the federal government. There are those on the Right, Libertarians and the extreme far-right, who clearly want us to move toward Anarchy with absolute freedom without restriction. Correct thinking Americans, including Christian conservatives, would prefer that we have Constitutional Restoration where the federal government is the servant and We the People are the rulers. This is the position that our Founding Fathers gave to us along the continuum between Totalitarianism and Anarchy. A position often referred to as “just right of center.”

There are many Americans, including Christian conservatives, who seem to agree that our Constitutional Republic is infected (more…)

The 2012 Check List for America’s Survival

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Posted by Alan Caruba on December 25, 2011 on TeaPartyNation

Many people make resolutions to start the year, but I think a list of things that must be done to protect and preserve the Republic should be tallied.

1. President Obama must be defeated in 2012 and the obstructionist Democratic Party must lose power in the Senate to ensure both houses of Congress will be Republican and in a position to initiate real change.

2. The Environmental Protection Agency must be reined in with increased Congressional oversight and (more…)

Europe is an idea, a cultural landscape, an intellectual space shaped by history. Europe is the cradle of the modern constitutional democracy, the treasure-house of human rights, of freedom of opinion and expression. Or at least it used to be that, until recently.

It has increasingly been put into danger as our political elite bend their necks before a certain religious dogma which is completely alien to out intellectual history, our values and rule of law. This dogma is gnawing away at the pillars of our system of laws, wherever it is granted the space to do so. This dogma demands total obedience from its followers.

“They should never integrate into our system of values.” That would be “treason” to them and is even punishable by death. They are supposed to conquer and subdue our western world not with tanks, rockets or riflemen something they could never accomplish, anyway. Not through brutal revolt. No, Islam is in no hurry. It has an eternity. A long process of demoralization and slow motion occupation of our weakened child-poor society is foreseen.

The Islamic doctrine is intended to creep into our (more…)
