MANY TODAY WONDER- WHAT CAN I DO There are many things concerned citizens can do to HELP (THE MOST IMPORTANT, IS TELLING OTHERS OF THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST)  REPENT OR BURN!!
change the direction we are going in. Time is running out for America. Yet 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us the reason we are in the shape we are, is due to Christians. We are responsible for letting things get out of hand and then sitting back and blaming others. |
Bush Trip To Beijing Olympics Shameful By Chuck Baldwin August 1, 2008 This column is archived athttp://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080801.html According to numerous press reports, President George W. Bush plans toattend the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China laterthis month. Bush said that it "would be an affront to the Chinese people" ifhe stayed away. Other world leaders, including Chancellor Angela Merkel ofGermany and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain, are choosing to notattend the opening ceremonies in the communist country. It is hard for this writer to laud President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, butin this case, even the socialist Roosevelt showed more integrity than ourso-called "conservative" President, George W. Bush. When the 1936 Olympicswere held in Berlin, Germany, President Roosevelt refused to attend thoseceremonies for fear that his presence would give honor and prestige to thenotorious Adolf Hitler. And so it would have. And, by the same token, whenPresident Bush attends the opening ceremonies in China, he is giving honorand prestige to the bloody butchers of Beijing who have persecuted,tortured, and murdered multiplied thousands of the Chinese people since thecommunist regime took power in 1949. President Bush said it would be an affront to the Chinese people if he didnot attend the Olympics. Wrong. It would be an affront to the Red Chinesetyrants. And they deserve to be affronted! Instead, by attending the Olympicceremonies, Bush is choosing to affront the hundreds of thousands of Chinesevictims who have suffered brutality and barbarism at the hands of the verypeople Bush will be wining and dining with. Actually, by participating inthe Beijing Olympics, President Bush is an affront to freedom-loving peopleeverywhere. For example, the Chinese government has already created profiles ofthousands of foreign journalists coming to cover the Olympic games.Communist officials will also be spying on virtually every visitor from themoment they arrive in China. Red Army surrogates will monitor virtually allInternet activity. One Chinese security official vowed "to punish anyone whotakes part in a political, religious or ethnic demonstration or protest 'inany form' at an Olympic site during the 2008 Beijing Games." (Source: TheWashington Post) In fact, Red China has been increasing its crackdowns on "dissenters"throughout 2007 and during the first half of this year in preparation forthe Olympics. "There was a 20 percent increase over 2006 in convictions ofcitizens under China's overly broad state security law that is often used tosilence government critics." (Source: The Washington Times) In other words,the approaching Olympic Games have served only to intensify the Beijinggovernment's oppression of the Chinese people. The many thousands of freedom-loving people in persecuted lands across theglobe (including China) feel betrayed and abandoned by President Bush--andrightly so. As President of the United States, Mr. Bush had an opportunityto send the loudest and clearest of messages to the people of the world thatAmerica was on the side of freedom and liberty, and that it respects andappreciates the thousands of persecuted people struggling for freedom undertotalitarian governments. Instead, by choosing to sit beside the communistofficials at the Olympic ceremonies, Mr. Bush has given credence and, atleast, tacit support to a bunch of murderous thugs who are the modern-daysymbols of oppression and tyranny. Shame on you, Mr. Bush! *If you enjoyed this column and want to help me distribute these editorialopinions to an ever-growing audience, donations may now be made by creditcard, check, or Money Order.

| THE BEST OF THE TWO EVILS??IS STILL EVIL!
The election is getting closer, but I am not any closer in finding a canidate I can vote for. I WILL NOT vote for any canidate that believes in killing babies, for even a "good" cause no exceptions. We need not to look for McCain as the best of the evils, because that still makes our choise evil!!!! On “Meet the Press,” McCain said he had “come to the conclusion that the exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother are legitimate exceptions” to an outright ban on abortions. “I don’t claim to be a theologian, but I have my moral beliefs.” If Roe v. Wade is overturned and abortion outlawed, McCain said he believes doctors who performed abortions would be prosecuted. “But I would not prosecute a woman” who obtained an abortion.
Chuck Baldwin is Pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church in Pansacola, Fl and is running for President of the United States of America. He cannot win if you hold Biblical views, but it's important for people to at least hear the truth about our direction in this country. I don't agree with everything he says, but in general he is taking the right stand.-Randy His Web Site is http://www.baldwin08.com/HomePage.cfm
lIFE IS SHORT! ARE YOU TELLING OTHERS ABOUT CALVARY?
Where do you plan to tell your children would be a good school to attend when they start looking for a college to attend. Over the next year we will look at several "GOOD" schools, most are "has-been" but is there still a school that teaches what we say we believe? We have looked at Tennesse Temple before. but will take another look.
Save The Planet? How About Saving The Republic? By Chuck Baldwin July 30, 2008 This column is archived athttp://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080730.html Yesterday, the Politico quoted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as saying, "I'mtrying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet." She wasresponding, of course, to pressure that she and her fellow Democrats areexperiencing to suspend a congressional ban on offshore oil drilling in theface of skyrocketing energy prices. It would be really wonderful, however,if the liberal congresswoman could get as energized about saving our oncegreat republic. Herein lies another problem: the vast majority of our politicos (from bothmajor parties) do not even seem to know what kind of country the UnitedStates was designed to be. Virtually every reference made to the UnitedStates by our civil magistrates is that we are a "democracy." That's odd;someone should have told our Founding Fathers, because they emphaticallyrejected the concept of creating a "democracy" in favor of creating aconstitutional republic. Has anyone quoted the Pledge of Allegiance lately? Does it say, "And to thedemocracy for which it stands"? Or does it say, "And to the republic forwhich it stands"? Of course it says "republic." At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, a passerby askedBenjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got--a republic or monarchy?"Franklin replied, "A republic--if you can keep it." Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the sixty-four million dollar question: Can wekeep our republic? Can we keep our constitutional form of government? Can wekeep our constitutionally protected liberties? In Federalist No. 10, James Madison ("The Father of the U.S. Constitution")said, "[D]emocracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention;have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights ofproperty; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have beenviolent in their deaths." The fear of what happens to freedom and liberty under democratic rule iswhat prompted Madison and the rest of America's founders to labor so hard tocreate what they did: a constitutional republic. Under God, it is allegiance to the Constitution that has preserved ourliberties, our peace and happiness, our security, and our very way of life.Furthermore, it is the repudiation and rejection of constitutionalgovernment that is responsible for the manner in which these very sameblessings are currently being lost. Someone needs to remind Rep. Pelosi that it is not her duty (nor does shehave the power) to "save the planet." And by the same token, someone needsto remind Senators Barack Obama and John McCain that they are notcampaigning to be President of the World, but President of the UnitedStates. What every elected officeholder is expected and required to do is verysimple: they are required to preserve, protect and defend the Constitutionof the United States of America. Period. End of story. Our public servants are not charged with saving the snail darter or theSpotted Owl, or saving the profits of the international bankers, or savingWall Street in general, or saving the perks of corporate lobbyists, orsaving Freddie and Fannie, or saving the peoples of the world from all thebogeymen, or even saving humankind or the planet itself. What our publicservants are charged with, however, is preserving (saving) ourconstitutional republic. Of course, the problem is, the people who are charged with the preservationof our republic are the ones who are the most responsible for itsdestruction. The American people have far more to fear from Nancy Pelosi,Barack Obama, and John McCain than they do from any foreign adversary,because our leaders have proven that they have absolutely no fidelity to theprinciples of constitutional government. They have no compunction abouteviscerating the protection of our freedoms, or about abolishing thevanguard of our liberties. They are Machiavellian, making King George of oldlook like a mere amateur. No, I take that back. It is not our civil magistrates who are mostresponsible for the destruction of our republican form of government: it is"We the people." At the end of the day, it is the responsibility of the people to governthemselves. We must be willing to hold our civil magistrates accountable tothe contract they made with us, which is to uphold constitutionalgovernment. It is our duty to "throw off" any system of government that doesnot secure our liberties and protect our constitution. And this we have notdone. Christian pastors and ministers have failed us. The "Religious Right" hasfailed us. College professors have failed us. High School teachers havefailed us. Newspaper editors and publishers have failed us. TV news anchorsand reporters have failed us. Parents have failed. Friends have failed. Thetwo major political parties have failed. As a whole, no one is talkingabout, or even thinking about, the loss of constitutional government,national independence, and sovereignty. Few seem even conscious that this istaking place. Worrying about which major party wins a general election is like worryingabout whether Coke or Pepsi sold more soft drinks last month. Pick yourpoison. One is just as bad as the other. Neither has any fidelity to theConstitution or to the principles of liberty, which it represents. Both JohnMcCain and Barack Obama are enemies to constitutional government. Both arein the process of sacrificing our national sovereignty to global entities.Both men lied when they took an oath to preserve and protect theConstitution. So, why should we care which impostor wins the election? It is up to the American people to enforce constitutional government. From aChristian perspective, it is "We the people" who are the "powers that be" inRomans chapter 13. Under our form of government, the source of authority andthe source of legitimacy reside with "We the people." We are not the slavesof any king or despot. Our elected leaders are public servants, not privatemasters. In a nutshell, they work for us. They are contracted to preserveour liberties and our way of life. When they fail, they must answer to us. So, when will the American people pick themselves up by the bootstraps andstart acting like free citizens and stop groveling before these imbecilicpolitical parties? When will we set this political house in order? Of course, all of this demands that each of us understands constitutionalgovernment and the principles upon which liberty rests. It also demands thateach of us be prepared to do whatever is our personal duty to preserve thisrepublic. Patriotism is more than waving a flag on July 4th, or singing The NationalAnthem at a ball game, or wearing a flag lapel pin on Flag Day. For anAmerican, real patriotism means that we are willing to preserve and protectour constitutional republic. Remember, Franklin's answer: "A republic--ifyou can keep it." Nancy Pelosi can talk about saving the planet all she wants to: her duty,however, is to preserve, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution. And thatis also the job of every single American citizen. Unfortunately, most of usare no better at doing our job than Pelosi is at doing hers. *If you enjoyed this column and want to help me distribute these editorialopinions to an ever-growing audience, donations may now be made by creditcard, check, or Money Order.
