Division Among Republicans

Sad to say, there is division among the Republicans.  As such, very little of what they all hold in common gets passed, epically with Old Joe in the presidency and the dems having a small margin in the Senate.

However, what I’d really like to zero in on are the Republicans in the house right now.  As near as I can tell, there are at least 3 major factions.  The majority of them are conservatives.  Right now, they hold the majority of the votes, which angers what Rush Limbaugh used to call the country club group.  These are what are called rinos, or republican in name only.  Regan was certainly one of the conservatives.  He went from being a conservative Democrat to a conservative Republican.  (no more conservatives among the dems)The first Bush had the opportunity to learn at Regan’s feet but he was not a very good student.  As soon as the going got tough, he abandoned what he learned and he abandoned those who voted for him, which is why he lost the next election.

The next factor is the libertarians.  I like to call them Republicans without morals, R.W.Ms.  While they have very conservative ideas concerning finances, likely more than most, they don’t seem to have any morals.  Many have no problems with legalizing drugs, homosexuality, and many other moral things.  You might have a difficult time finding a Christian amongst them.

And so it is that there are fights within the party, some very bitter.  The only suggestion I have is to take what we can.  Most Republicans are financial conservatives.  Let’s concentrate on that.  That way we can fortify ourselves on that.

Moreover, there are many things that even the libertarians can agree on.  Let’s make sure that parents are notified before abortions.  Let’s make sure all women have full informed consent before an abortion.  That alone will cut down the number of the abortions.  Moreover, it is the right thing to do.

Let’s make sure that every dollar is spent wisely.  I would suggest every dime but we have gone well beyond that.  When people do spend recklessly, they need to be relieved of their position and possibly prosecuted.

Let’s permit the executive branch to hold back spending if it is not needed.  Some do not know it, but the President is required by law to spend every dollar that is allocated, even if not needed.  There are not many successful businesses run like that.

We need a total makeover of federal law enforcement.  One place we can start is by de-allocating monies to the FBI and CIA, particularly in the higher ranks.  They need to be trimmed down and their salaries need to be reduced.  They have become top heavy.  (Top heavy is another term for unsuccessful.)  Though the rino group might have problems with that, most of the others will likely go along with that.

I am a pro-military person.  I was in the Marines and I believe in keeping the armed forces strong.  However, spending blindly only destroys the strength of the services.  I have seen the waste from the inside.  I have seen $25 dollar fuses that can be bought at the hardware store for 39 cents.

Being a marine, I do understand mil-spec requirements.  However, just because something meets mil-spec, that is not a reason to pay $24 more.  We can make our armed services stronger.  However, we cannot do it by throwing money at it.  All that does is make the Defense Department fat.

We need to put much more of the power in the hands of state and local governments.  Money is power and that is the way the federal government acquires power…by spending our money.  Many of the departments, especially education can be drastically reduced or even done away with.  However, that department has become like a leech.  It just hangs on and will not let go.  The country club group kind of likes it so we are sort of stuck with it.  Nonetheless, we can sort-of trim it out of existence.

One way we will look back on these days.  We might look back on it glad that we did something about it; or we might look back wishing we had.

One last note, the feds not only spends a lot of money loosely, but they also spend money in places they shouldn’t, as an example sex-ed for kindergartners and gender changes for 3rd graders. Surely all republicans and a even a few dems can agree on that.

A Problem Shared by 4

Though it should be obvious, there are likely not many who realize that Darwin, Marx, Hitler and Lenin share. None of them can explain the origin of man, the world or the universe. Darwin spent untold hours looking the world over for the so-called missing link. For his theory to be proved, he had to produce at least one case of where one animal evolved into another. He died, frustrated that he never found one piece of evidence. As an atheist and or an evolutionist, he was an utter failure, though he did manage to convince many other atheist who wanted to believe him. You see, one thing atheist have in common is desire to prove the that God does not exist.

Karl Marx, I would guess was one of those who wanted to disproved the existence of God. You see, Christianity kept getting in the way of his concept of no one owning anything and one world government. You see, the concept completely counters many Christian I teachings. Besides, I don’t think he liked God very much. He didn’t like the idea of someone telling him what was right or wrong.

I should not have to spend much time explaining Hitler’s beliefs in God and Christianity. The man actually wanted to destroy the Jews. Now I ask you, how is it that a man explains it being right to destroy the chosen people of God. Actually, he was far from being the first. I suspect there will be many more. Regardless, Hitler did desire to destroy the Jews and the Christians, though he did use the Roman Catholics from time to time. Some suspect the Catholics of smuggling many Nazis out of Germany at the end of WWII.

Lenin & company, were actually the first of the modern outfits that tried to eliminate the Jews. Now only did they kill their millions, they drove millions into the hands of the Nazis. Many Jews, escaping the Soviets ran right into the hands of Hitler.

Both the Nazis and the Soviets got there idea of socialism from Marx and Darwin. They presented a world of survival of the fittest and a Godless existence. Socialism, even it its most mild form cannot exist beside Christianity. Marx knew it. Lenin knew it and Hitler knew it.

Guess what, today’s socialists know it too. It is but one reason they want to do away with the first amendment, and Christianity.

The problem they all have is explaining the existence of humans, the world and the universe. If there is no God, how did it all get here? By accident…really. I don’t think so. Things as complex as a human don’t just happen by accident. And by the way, that missing link that Darwin has been looking for, it still has not been found after what, close to 300 years of looking. I don’t think it will be found after 3000 years. Those atheist have been looking awfully hard. Certainly, they would have found something by now.

I really don’t think the astronomers are any closer to the big bang. Admittedly, they have a real disadvantage. They are looking at what the universe looked like thousands of years ago. Anything beyond, oh let’s say, 30,000 light years out there might not even be there anymore, or as we see it. Unless I’m wrong, that means we aren’t outside the Milky Way yet. And somehow, these are the experts we are supposed to believe.

IGNORING THE CONSTITUTION

Clearly, the Constitution states that all bills concerning taxing and spending shall start in the House. So, of coarse the dems decided to bigin their own bill in the Senate. It’s not right. It’s not Constitutional.

Then, of course why should that slow the dems.

The reason the House is supposed to originate all financial bills is that they are most close to the citizens.

Then again, after a decade or two, the dems will make sure the Constitution will be nothing more than a memory anyway.

The US is quickly headed down the same trail as Rome; and I don’t mean that in a good way.

The Big Why for Presley

Brandon Presley, Democrat candidate for Mississippi governor, keeps airing ads that he is not in favor of many Democrat ideas. Great! Then WHY, WHY isn’t he Republican?

My suggestion as long as he’s a dem, then he’s a dem and he has associated himself with dem idealism. If he wants to claim Republican ideas, maybe he should bail out of the dem party… as many others have.

My guess, he is a dem with dem ideas. He’s just too ashamed to admit it. I mean really, boys saying they are girls. Only the dems would come up with an idea like that. If he doesn’t agree with dems, why hasn’t he distanced himself from it long ago.

Making Up the Rules Along the Way

During the 1200s, the Catholic church decided to make rule change. It was all official. It was decided at the Second Council of Lyon. Henceforth, people would be able to help their dead relatives by prayer and by alms.

So, if that favorite great aunt might not have been good enough to go to heaven, a person could give money to the church and then that grate aunt could go onto heaven, that is of course after the church received the proper sum.

It’s not biblical. The Catholic church made it up. While it had no affect on those who already died, it has brought a huge success to the Catholic church. Have you ever noticed the large number of huge Catholic cathedrals throughout Europe? Can you imagine the materials that went into their making, let alone the labor? Mostly built after the 1200s mind you.

Don’t get me wrong. We should have nice buildings for worship. However, the monies to build them should never be coerced. To be sure, the cathedrals are dens of thieves. The money was obtained through false teachings and totally for the power, profit and the benefit of the church.

It is convenient when a religion can make the rules along the way. In this case, it not only misled people but it also drove people from real Christianity. How many times have you heard someone say they would not go to a church because they are a bunch of hypocrites? Guess what? When it comes down to it, at least with some segments of the Catholic church, I certainly agree.

Down through the centuries, history is full of so-called preachers who are full of themselves. They make their fortunes off Christianity. And, of course, they believe not what they, themselves teach. In every state, in every major city, there are those who claim to be, but are not true ambassadors of Christ.

One of the ways you can spot them is that they love to make the rules along the way. If what they teach is not biblical, they are liars and likely thieves making their ill gotten gains off the hopes of others.

Take for instance the Mormons, Church of the Latter Day Saints. They had a really neat rule. The men could marry 4 wives, some married more. Great for the men, not so much for the women. It’s just not biblical. They made it up. They liked the new rule so they decided to adopt it. Well, nowadays, they claim to have removed their really neat rule, but some still live by it. Nonetheless, they have decided to adopt the Book of Mormon over the Bible, even though it is constantly being changed and revised.

One of the most horrid rules ever invented by any of these so-called churches is that you must do something aside from having faith in Jesus Christ to go to have eternal life. If any church, no matter who it is that is preacher tells you that you must do A, B or C it is a false teaching and comes from Satan. This is especially true if they say you must give money or possessions to that organization.

Read John 3:16 and 17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. 17 ‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Not only is Jesus the only one who can save you, only He has the authority. He will not allow anyone or anything to usurp His authority nor will He allow anything or anyone to be given the credit for that which He and He alone has done.

If anyone tells you anything else, they are trying to change the rules along the way, likely for their purpose.

It has been said that John 3:16 is the Gospel in a nutshell and I’d have to say it at the least comes close to it. However, might I add, it is a direct quote from Jesus, though interpreted from the Aramaic that Jesus spoke. If anyone speaks contrary to these words, he is calling Jesus a liar.

Profanity Used Freely

Daily writing prompt
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

I already spoke of it, but back when Trump was still one of the seventeen, it bothered that he used the profanity so much. I still don’t like it, but I’ll put up with it when he did so well at so many things while in office. I’d list them for you, but I bet you already know them.

While We Watched in Horror, They Cheered

Odd, no invitation to write about 9/11.

Be that as it may, let me summarize what happened. We watched in horror as two huge buildings burned and collapsed.

The je hads all cheered as over 5000 Americans died.

Then, ever so quickly, we heard, “Don’t blame them all for what a few did.”

Okay fine. I’ll go along with that but for one thing. I heard abolutely not one man who believes in je jads say one thing publicly denouncing anything that was done.

Maybe there were those who hated what happened but where are they.

Repeatedly, I hear, Please don’t hold it against me for what my countrymen have done. Fine. If you denounce it publicly, both the actions and the beliefs, then I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Until then I must assume you are in agreement with them. Indeed, I must assume you were one of those who cheered.

And then there are those indifferent. What can I say. Can’t figure that out at all.

Finally, there are those who took advantage of what happen. Some made their fortunes off the billions of federal dollars paid and overpaid.

Then, would you believe it, there are those who took political advantage of it. They would not have been able to spy on trump the candidate but for the FISA court set up to catch terrorists. Looks to me like misuse of the justice system, done by the very woman who said no one is above the law, Ms. Clinton.

Of course, there was no need me writing this. You already knew about all of it.

At any rate, the libs are in an awful hurry to get us to forget it all. It goes against the spin. They want us all to believe that it’s only the white guys who are bad.

Where’s the Penalty

The federal court has found the Biden administration guilty of interfering with freedom of speach through social media. Assuming the decision holds, I wonder who will be penalized. Who will go to prison? Who will have have to pay a fine? Who will have this hand slapped?

Who and how will those harmed be compensated? Where is justice when the law has no penalty? If I haul off and hit someone, the chances are pretty good I will go to jail or at least pay a fine. If I say something false about someone that causes him, I’ll likely going to make him richer.

On the other hand, the president and his crew can pretty much do as he wants. Then what happens? If it’s Old Joe, it likely won’t even make the evening news

Might I remind those who care, the above action likely chaged the outcome of the election. And the dems like to say no one is above the law. I guess that is also true when there is no penalty for flagrantly breaking the law.

In the Air We Breathe

News flash- University of Washington have found traces of drugs in the Washington & Oregon transit systems air and surfaces. If there, then where else?

I guess this means that if the degeration continues, we might need to go back to wearing masks again whenever we go out in public. Even more we also need to wear gloves and carefully discard both after they are removed. It will likely be good to change clothing. Thar stuff can be absorbed through skin.

Keeping that Mexican border open is and was a bad idea. Now, even more important, we need to send good strong signals to China and the cartels. If we don’t, we might need to wear space suits every time we leave our homes.

The worst part is that the party in power does not care one iota. Ask them about the drug problem and all you’ll hear is crickets, that is, unless the insects start getting high too.
