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.]

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…)

My Christmas Eve
By Bob Welsh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxjZB5S_g7s&feature=youtu.be

The hour’s late, should go to bed
Near midnight I believe
But memories keep me wide awake
This snowy Christmas Eve.

Yes, memories of my kids moved on
Each has their separate life
Now the holidays have changed
Since angels took my wife.

The toys, the food, the Christmas cheer,
My wife would bear the load
Because I would work most holidays
State Trooper on the road.

Just sitting in my easy chair
So many years retired
I reminisce of times gone by
And all that’s transpired. (more…)

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…)

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…)

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes when I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.

I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.

Pondering the peas, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

‘Hello Barry, how are you today?’

‘H’lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus’ admirin’ them peas. They sure look good.’

‘They are good, Barry. (more…)

I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home…
Dads were at work…
Brothers went into the army…
And sisters got
married BEFORE having children!!!
Crime did not pay; Hard work did;
And people knew the difference…

Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave…
Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite…
Women wore (more…)

Tolerance and Acceptance are mutually exclusive of each other. One cannot be both tolerant and accepting at the same time because once a tolerant person become accepting of any attitude or activity there is no longer any reason to be tolerant of that attitude or activity. The difficulty with these mutually exclusive terms in civil society is that minority groups tend to define “tolerance” as “acceptance.” This tends to place the civil society in the position of “the tail wagging the dog.”

In a civil society where families and individuals come together to form a community, state or nation those forming the civil society have a right to determine the parameters and limits of their mutual association. They may be tolerant of persons within their midst holding differing attitudes but they as a society do not have to accept the minority attitudes for their society.

Those with the minority attitudes are at liberty to go elsewhere and establish a civil society based upon their attitudes and activities as a majority. Such was the case with those who fled Europe to the New World so that they could worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. It is interesting that once here they set up their “civil societies” based upon similar intolerance that they had just fled. For example, in New England if you did not belong to the “accepted” church of the several colonies, you were not permitted to own land or hold elective office.

Following this standard the majority of the thirteen colonies and later the original thirteen States had established “state religions” albeit they were all “Christian” religions. In fact, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, who formed the “civil society” of Rhode Island were expelled (more…)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [Isaiah 9:2]

AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from C sar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Jud a, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. [Luke 2:1 - 20]
