President Obama’s Chief Advisor in charge of anti-terrorism continued demonstrating this administration’s total incompetence when he suggested that a 20% return to the battle field for enemy captured combatants is acceptable, comparing them to the general prison population recidivism rate. This is totally absurd! Ask our men in uniform how they feel about it.
Then President Obama appoints Rashad Hussain, to serve as Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference. Hussain is a clear sympathizer of America’s enemies, as expressed in his comments defending Sami Al-Arian, a convicted terrorist and former leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Now, questions are rightfully being raised as to how a terrorist sympathizer has risen to such a position within the president's administration. A quick look into Hussain reveals that he has the background of a typical Obama administration official: Ivy League education, career in public service, and an added bonus, a connection to the Soros family.In 2003, Hussain was named a Fellow to the Paul and Daisy Soros Foundation. It’s clear, this administration is either totally incompetent or anti-American. Either way, it does not bode well for our future.

State of the Union 2010
Unfortunately, the State of the Union message delivered by President Obama was a disappointment.
The President of the United States sounded like an angry juvenile blaming all his shortcomings on everyone else, and pledging to re-double his efforts to continue down the path that will be the ruination of the greatest nation on earth. He just doesn’t get it. He spent most of his time double-talking about the economy to appease both sides of the aisle. But if his track record tells us anything, it tells us that he only plans on following through with half of what he said –the half that appeases the left.
It’s clear he hasn’t learned from his mistakes handling the economy. He persists in promoting cap and trade legislation that will certainly pull the plug on an economy already in critical condition.
He doesn’t get it when it comes to national defense. As if the morale of our armed forces isn’t hurt enough by his refusal to treat terrorists as enemy combatants, now he wants to make homosexual rights in the military a cause célèbre.
What this tells me is that we must re-double our efforts, first of all, in praying for our President and all those placed in authority over us, then we must prepare to purge the government of all ungodly leadership in 2010 and 2012. The Tea Party movement is a good start, but yet we must go further to address the most fundamental issue of our national identity, that we are “One Nation Under God.” That must be our starting point.
From a foundation of faith in God and the Holy Scriptures we derive, standards, policies and laws for good government. This was the belief of our founders, and it must be the guiding philosophy of good government and politics if we are to see our nation and our culture prevail.
This is a time to learn, to teach, and to prepare for the biggest governmental purge this nation has ever seen. Yes, let the purge begin, 2010!

Let The Purge Begin!
The Massachusetts U.S. Senate election of Republican Scott Brown gives us a preview of the 2010 elections, or shall we say, the “2010 purge.”
The American people have arisen! They will accept nothing less than a political purge of self-serving, power hungry, yellow-streaked legislators who have tried to foist “change” on a nation established to promote liberty, not Marxist, Socialist totalitarianism. We are not Europe. We are the United States of America, -One Nation Under God!
Now is the time to get educated on the issues, study up on the principles that have made this nation the world’s “last best hope,” and get ready to vote out of office anyone who won’t stand up for common-sense principles that will produce, liberty, peace and prosperity. Let the purge begin!

What's Happening in D.C.?
What we see happening in Washington D.C. is a clear example of the principle that will destroy American prosperity warned by Scots Historian Professor Alexander Tyler, circa 1787, speaking about the fall of the Athenian Republic:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
Senator Ben Nelson agreed to vote for the Health Care bill when he was promised a forever exemption of an expected $45 million annual cost tied to expanding Medicaid programs.
Senator Mary Landrieu promised her vote in exchange for a $300 million medicaid deal for her state.
Senator Christopher Dodd wrote a provision to the bill to get $100 million for a new health care facility in his district.
That’s just the Health care Bill. The recent passage of a $363 billion, Defense Appropriations Bill included 1,729 earmarks worth more than $4 billion like $19 million for Ted Kennedy Institute. (What in the world does that have to do with Defense, and don’t the Kennedy’s have enough money to fund their own monuments? ) In addition, there are all kinds of social programs never requested by the Department of Defense.
The idea that the federal treasury is just one big pot of money for everyone to dip into to get what they can is an idea that will destroy our system and result in an eventual totalitarian takeover, the loss of liberty and ultimate bondage.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilization has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence. From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back into bondage."
I would say we're somewhere between apathy and dependence, and if the new health care plan becomes reality, we will be pushed one step further toward dependence before slipping ultimately into bondage.
What’s the answer? Our federal legislators must understand that their mission is not to get all they can for their constituents to insure their re-election, but to represent their constituents’ interests as they seek the good for the nation.
They must be motivated not by special interests but by the common good.
But it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, so it is more reasonable to believe that the only real solution is to throw the bums out, as the saying goes.
However we must be clear in redefining the job description of legislators on every level of government. Our founders taught us that our representatives must rule in the fear of God, doing unto others only as they would have them do unto them. In other words, we need statesmen, not politicians.
We need a transfusion of legislators on every level. Let’s start in 2010. Get ready to vote out the present stock of self-centered politicians and replace them with whoever will run against them. Then let’s stay engaged to insure that we become, once again, “One Nation Under God” enjoying the peace and prosperity that comes with His blessing.

LESSONS FROM TIGER
Again, I found myself wanting to reach through the radio to strangle another commentator who was pontificating about the need to have a prenuptial agreement before marriage, citing the Tiger Woods incident as proof that you need to protect your own assets against predatory wives.
How far we have fallen when we think that the greatest transgression is marrying without a prenuptial agreement. What message are we sending to our young people? Are we saying that marriage won’t last so cover yourself for sure? Are we saying that you’ve got to look out for “number one?” Are we saying that marriage is no more than a business relationship? Well, apparently, these are precisely the messages we are sending when we forget that marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God to fulfill his purposes in the earth.
The problem is not the absence of a prenuptial contract, which is in fact, a pre-determined divorce- agreement. If marriage is reduced to a business contract –and it very well can be in this government “of the people”- then we will pass on to the next generation more social chaos and dysfunction than we have now! If you think the children of this generation are without vision or purpose, wait till the next!
We must not continue down this path of cultural narcissism where everyone just cares about themselves. But then again, it would be illogical to expect a culture without God to consider anything holy. So it must be up to the people of God, beginning with the clergy, to begin teaching the difference between the holy and the common (Leviticus 10:10). We must set the standard in our own marriages understanding that we are contagious. Others will catch what we have. They will be influenced by the way we esteem the holy institution of marriage. Let us be sure they are influenced in the right direction.
As we pray for Tiger Woods and his family, let us also be resolved to esteem even more highly the holy institution of marriage, beginning with our own, and impacting others around us, for His glory!

LESSONS FROM FDR ON PEARL HARBOR
President Roosevelt’s response to Pearl Harbor included these words:
"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory...
We will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us."
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."
Where is that fighting spirit today, and most importantly, the appeal to that God that has shed His grace on this nation?
It is God alone who raises up nations, and puts nations down. We need leadership that will be resolute in our mission, and surrendered to His sovereignty.

New York Stands for Traditional Marriage
The Marriage & Family Savers Institute commends the members of the New York State Senate who voted yesterday to defeat the Same-Sex Marriage bill by a vote of 38 to 24. It’s encouraging to see that there is still a modicum of sanity and common sense in our State Legislature.
Only one brave senator spoke on the floor to defend traditional marriage, a Pentecostal Minister, named Ruben Diaz. All the others who spoke on the floor spoke passionately about human interest stories and personal experiences, but conspicuously absent was any intelligent debate on the issue. Even those who attempted to quote our founding fathers, either misquoted them or quoted them out of context. One senator even attributed to Moses a teaching given by Jesus!
Though we are relieved that the institution of marriage is preserved for another season, it was disconcerting to observe the level of ignorance demonstrated in New York’s “Upper” house. It becomes apparent why New York was rated the most dysfunctional state government. This underscores the need to be actively involved in the political process, by concerned citizens, and the need to elect intelligent officials who understand the principles involved in preserving this “One Nation Under God.”
