With Newt supposedly on the rise, according to some polls, he needs to be vetted by we the people.

How many times has it been stated that, “we the people have a short memory”?

WE need to let each other know and remind each other of the past.

Newt can not be trusted with the reins of government. Please see the following two videos. One is a campaign add with over 500,000 views in just three days being online. The other is an updated documentary of Newt Gingrich. It was first put out in 1996 and updated in 2009. Very timely update for us the voters needing to discern the true freedom lovers.

Have a blessed day!

Thanksgiving approaching brings back the memories of hunting and eating with friends and family. This weekend is opening weekend for deer season here in Wisconsin. My son and I use to go out without issues or conflicts of work mainly because he was in school and not working. Now, with both of us working it’s a planning issue and a blessing to have us both get off from work and ready for opening weekend. Last year I couldn’t go because of work and so my son had a friend go along as my sub. Unfortunately, neither shot a deer last year but at least had a couple misses to talk about. This year we hope to get back on track towards filling up our very empty freezer.

This year’s Thanksgiving will be quite special with my number one daughter and son-in-law visiting after having not seen them since Christmas of 2010.

My wife Lucy always makes a wonderful dinner and knows how to bring out the best of any season or holiday. She designs a “Thanksgiving Tree” and adheres it to a wall or door. It is only the trunk and bare branches which she puts up, there are no leaves. She places many fall colored paper punched leaves in a bowl on the kitchen table. The leaves are only about as big as a nickel and there’s a couple sharpie pens next to the bowl for one to write on the leaves. We all write one or two words on a leaf describing what we are thankful for in our lives. Everyone is to write three or more things during their dinner meals, at that time the word food is one item which seems to come to mind first and gets written down early. We’re not allowed repeats for no leaf is to be the same as another. These leaves are then placed on the bare branches, around the trunk or in the air as they might be falling gradually filling up the display over the days. I suppose you could have the leaves placed along a twirling horizontal path giving that windy day affect or how about a tornado? No leaf burning allowed. Everyone then may eventually see what is special in each others’ lives. I say may because there is no name on each of the leaves. Then, looking at the tree makes one ponder the contents of each of the leaves and imagine who had written each one. So, whether old or young there are leaves going up to represent that for which you’re grateful.

Most of all, I’m thankful for the friends, family and the one and only true God which sustains us all.

See below a picture of our Thanksgiving Tree. May you also see the benefit in counting your blessings and then “to be ye thankful in all things.” – Col 3:15.

Go, have a successful hunt and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember this knife fight in “Saving Private Ryan”? I’ve imagined the man on the floor with the knife slowly entering his heart, representing America. See the man “fully armed with plenty of ammo” yet shaking in his boots on the steps outside? Well, he represents the American citizen unwilling to save America. The soldier at the top of the steps looking down at the end of the clip, he represents that which drains an individual’s courage, spirit, and vision for freedom. One could think of many things which are seriously wrong with America and that could be what the man shaking on the step represents. I would call him “apostasy”.

Can you recall a movie or a certain scene which could symbolize what’s wrong with America?

Have a blessed day!

So if its Constitution Day then how are we to honor it? One way is to keep politicians from destroying it. One example of the constitution being ignored is how much it is mentioned in the news today. They don’t really want to be cause of all the “unconstitutional” takeovers happening now. What a shame.

I have a hard time thinking this country is capable of honoring it any more. The question I hear most is “will a politician do or know to do what is right for America.” I think to be more accurate we should ask, “Does he know the Constitution and will he govern by it?”

Just as Ron Paul had sadly stated, “There is plenty of unconstitutionality for everyone.”

So, IF we were to honor the day maybe we would venture into the history of it and discover interesting facts.

Maybe we may want to read it to jog our memories or read it for the first time.

How about finding out the significance of “In God We Trust”?

You could even test your knowledge of the Constitution here.

Check out the debates about the Constitution here.

Maybe start monitoring what is happening now at the Supreme Court level.

Read the newspapers of that time, Federalist Papers or the Anti-Federalist Papers.

Find a blog about the Early Christian life in America.

Maybe join the “Constitution Party”?

Compare us with China’s constitution.

Or just start getting it touch with our Congress and see what is happening in our nation’s capital.

What ever we do, let us give thanks to God for this nation and for what it once stood for, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Oh, wait thats not in the Constitution, is it?

Defend your freedoms, no one else will!

Enjoy the day!

Have a great Constitutional day!

and May God Bless you and yours.

Why is it, Friends and Fellow Citizens, that you are here assembled?

Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the World, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? – And why is it that, among the swarming myriads of our population, thousands and tens of thousands among us, abstaining, under the dictate of religious principle, from the commemoration of that birth-day of Him, who brought life and immortality to light, yet unite with all their brethren of this community, year after year, in celebrating this, the birth-day of the nation?

Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the corner stone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies, announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?

Cast your eyes backwards upon the progress of time, sixty-one (now 235) years from this day; and in the midst of the horrors and desolations of civil war, you behold an assembly of Planters, Shopkeepers and Lawyers, the Representatives of the People of thirteen English Colonies in North America, sitting in the City of Philadelphia. These fifty-five men, on that day, unanimously adopt and publish to the world, a state paper under the simple title of ‘A DECLARATION.’

The object of this Declaration was two-fold.

First, to proclaim the People of the thirteen United Colonies, one People, and in their name, and by their authority, to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another People, that is, the People of Great Britain.

Secondly, to assume, in the name of this one People, of the thirteen United Colonies, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station, to which the Laws of Nature, and of Nature’s God, entitled them.

At the root of all this there was a plausible theory of sovereignty, and unlimited power in Parliament, conflicting with the vital principle of English Freedom, that taxation and representation are inseparable, and that taxation without representation is a violation of the right of property. Here was a conflict between two first principles of government, resulting from a defect in the British Constitution: the principle that sovereign power in human Government is in its nature unlimited: and the principle that property can lawfully be taxed only with the consent of its owner. Now these two principles, carried out into practice, are utterly irreconcilable with each other. The lawyers of Great Britain held them both to be essential principles of the British Constitution. – In their practical application, the King and Parliament and people of Great Britain, appealed for the right to tax the Colonies to the unlimited and illimitable sovereignty of the Parliament.

Are you then assembled here, my brethren, children of those who declared your National Independence, in sorrow or in joy? In gratitude for blessings enjoyed, or in affliction for blessings lost? In exultation at the energies of your fathers, or in shame and confusion of face at your own degeneracy from their virtues? Forgive the apparent rudeness of these enquiries: – they are not addressed to you under the influence of a doubt what your answer to them will be. You are not here to unite in echoes of mutual gratulation for the separation of your forefathers from their kindred freemen of the British Islands. You are not here even to commemorate the mere accidental incident, that, in the annual revolution of the earth in her orbit round the sun, this was the birthday of the Nation. You are here, to pause a moment and take breath, in the ceaseless and rapid race of time; – to look back and forward; – to take your point of departure from the ever memorable transactions of the day of which this is the anniversary, and while offering your tribute of thanksgiving to the Creator of all worlds, for the bounties of his Providence lavished upon your fathers and upon you, by the dispensations of that day, and while recording with filial piety upon your memories, the grateful affections of your hearts to the good name, the sufferings, and the services of that age, to turn your final reflections inward upon yourselves, and to say: – These are the glories of a generation past away, – what are the duties which they devolve upon us?

And now, friends and fellow citizens, what are the duties thence resulting to yourselves? Need I remind you of them? You feel that they are not to waste in idle festivity the hours of this day, – to your fathers, when they issued their decree, the most solemn hours of their lives. It is because this day is consecrated to the cause of human liberty, that you are here assembled; and if the connection of that cause, with the fulfillment of those clear, specific predictions of the greatest of the Hebrew prophets, re-announced and repeated by the unnumbered voices of the heavenly host, at the birth of the Savior, has not heretofore been traced and exhibited in the celebrations of this day, may I not hope for your indulgence in presenting to you a new ray of glory in the halo that surrounds the memory of the day of your national independence?

Yes, from that day forth shall the nations of the earth hereafter say, with the prophet, – “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace!” [Isaiah 52:7] “From that day forth shall they exclaim, Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains! for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted” [Isaiah 49:13, 24-25]. From that day forth, to the question, – “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered?” – shall be returned the answer of the prophet, – “But thus saith the Lord, – Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contends with thee, and I will save thy children.” – “From that day forth, shall they say, commenced the opening of the last seal of prophetic felicity to the race of man upon earth, when the Lord God shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” [Isaiah 2: 4].

My countrymen! I would anxiously desire, and with a deep sense of responsibility, bearing upon myself and upon you, to speak to the hearts of you all. Are there among you those, doubtful of the hopes or distrustful of the promises of the Gospel? Are there among you those, who disbelieve them altogether? Bear with me one moment longer. Let us admit, for a moment, that the prophesies of Isaiah have no reference to the advent of the Savior; – let us admit that the passage in the Gospel of Luke, in which he so directly makes the application of this particular prophesy to himself, is an interpolation; – go further, and if, without losing your reverence for the God to whom your fathers, in their Declaration of Independence, made their appeal, you can shake off all belief, both of the prophesies and revelations of the Scriptures; – suppose them all to be fables of human invention; yet say with me, that thousands of years have passed away since these volumes were composed, and have been believed by the most enlightened of mankind as the oracles of truth; – say, that they contain the high and cheering promise, as from the voice of God himself, of that specific future improvement in the condition of man, which consists in the extirpation of slavery and war from the face of the earth. Sweep from the pages of history all the testimonies of the Scriptures, and believe no more in the prophesies of Isaiah, than in those of the Cumaean sybil [a priestess of Roman mythology who presided over the Cumae (a Greek colony in Naples) Apollonian oracle]; but acknowledge that in both there is shadowed forth a future improvement in the condition of our race, – an improvement of good tidings to the meek; of comfort to the broken hearted; of deliverance to the captives; of the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Turn then your faces and raise your hands to God, and pray that, in the merciful dispensations of his providence, he would hasten that happy time. Turn to yourselves, and, in the Declaration of Independence of your fathers, read the command to you, by the unremitting exercise of your highest energies, to hasten, yourselves, its consummation!

Have a blessed day!

In Indiana there’s a big up roar about the 4th amendment pertaining to restricting the government from entering our homes unlawfully, being attacked.

Well, the Indiana State Justice Steven H. David was the justice writing for majority decision. Two of the other four judges sided with Justice David and their names are Justice Frank Sullivan Jr. and Chief Randall T. Shepard.

The governor who appointed Justice Steven H. David to the bench was none other than Gov. Mitch Daniels. He happens to be the indecisive Republican pondering if it is wise to run for president and stated that he would have to first seek his wife’s and family approval. I do believe that this 4th amendment state issue is the TRUE reason why Mitch Daniels is not running for president. It has nothing to do with his wife nor family and it has everything to do with him selecting a justice who decided that in Indiana you can no longer resist unlawful accessing of your own home.

So, who are the other Justices? Let us see, Justice Frank Sullivan Jr. was appointed by the Democratic Gov. Evan Bayh in 1993. Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard was appointed by Republican Robert D. Orr in 1983.

So, now who are the people in Indiana suppose to “trust”? Both the Democrats and Republicans have stabbed the 4th amendment through the back door.

The other interesting thing is what I didn’t find on the Indiana’s government web site. Every other justice listed who appointed them to the supreme court. Justice Steven H David profile has nothing in the Justice’s profile indicating that he was appointed by the Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels.

So, if you live in Indiana, be careful about opening your front door.

Have a blessed day!

Government Cannot Be Trusted To Police Itself
By Chuck Baldwin
May 26, 2011

So many of the words and warnings delivered by America’s Founding Fathers are appropriate for today. Consider this sage counsel from America’s first and greatest President, George Washington: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” I was reminded of these words when I read the following report out of the State of Indiana.

“Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday [May 12, 2011] that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

“In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.”

Justice Robert Rucker and Justice Brent Dickson dissented from the ruling, saying the court’s decision violates the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution.

“In my view the majority sweeps with far too broad a brush by essentially telling Indiana citizens that government agents may now enter their homes illegally-that is, without the necessity of a warrant, consent or exigent circumstances,” Rucker said.

The NW Indiana Times also reported, “This is the second major Indiana Supreme Court ruling this week involving police entry into a home.

“On Tuesday, the court said police serving a warrant may enter a home without knocking if officers decide circumstances justify it. Prior to that ruling, police serving a warrant would have to obtain a judge’s permission to enter without knocking.”

See the report at:

http://tinyurl.com/3kae4zy

Shortly after the ISC decision, Newton County Sheriff Donald Hartman, Sr. said he believes the ruling makes house-to-house searches possible. According to a report at Infowars.com, Sheriff Hartman “made it clear that he would use random house to house searches if he believed it was necessary.”
 
The Infowars.com report also correctly notes that it was years of illegal searches and seizures and seizures of the American colonists (along with the attempt to seize the colonists’ firearms) that led our forebears to resist the British government with force on April 19, 1775, at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge which ignited America’s War for Independence.

See the report at:

http://tinyurl.com/3dhnx59

It may be helpful at this point to rehearse the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

With this ruling, the ISC effectively told the citizens of the State of Indiana that the Fourth Amendment is null and void in their State. And Sheriff Donald Hartman has effectively said that he will treat the citizens of Newton County in much the same way that King George treated America’s colonists–or the way Stalin’s or Mao’s police treated the enslaved subjects of the former Soviet Union and Communist China.

And what is also disturbing is the way government, at every level, seems unwilling to police itself.

The reason the US Constitution limited the jurisdiction and authority of the federal government and left states with their own jurisdiction and (broader) authority was to serve as a check and balance against the tyrannical tendencies of the central government. Today, however, acts of tyranny seem to be taking place as frequently on the State and local levels as it is at the federal level. This story out of the Hoosier State is only the latest example.

Does anyone find it more than interesting (and even paradoxical) that while the US military is being used more and more as international policemen, local and State law enforcement personnel are often being used more and more like military troops (and taking on the appearance, procedures, and tactics of military troops)?

Traditionally, it was never the role of local and State law enforcement personnel to act like soldiers. Police officers have no “enemy” to seek out and destroy. Their job is to protect, not punish. The citizens of their State, county, or city are not the enemy.

I recently had a well-meaning police lieutenant tell me that his primary concern was that his officers were protected. That is all well and good, and I certainly understand his concern for his officers. However, when a man or woman puts on the uniform of a police officer (or sheriff’s deputy), he or she is saying that they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to make sure that the citizens of their community stay protected. The “us versus them” attitude of many police officers today is very harmful to the principles of freedom and
liberty.

In the above-mentioned story, it was the judiciary branch of the Indiana State government that was unwilling to hold the executive branch of the Indiana State government accountable to the principles of liberty and constitutional government. Once again, we see that government cannot be trusted to police itself.

If the State of Indiana had constitutionalist sheriffs (and surely there must be a few of them), they would have immediately renounced the ISC decision, and made it clear that they would never allow their deputies to operate in the tyrannical manner approved by the court’s dastardly decision. The same should have been true for Indiana’s police chiefs. Was there such a response? If there was, the media ignored it.

Furthermore, Indiana’s governor should have immediately renounced the ISC’s decision and issued an executive order forbidding State and local law enforcement personnel from complying with this unconstitutional decision. Again, if he did this, we didn’t hear about it, did we?

The propensity of government is not only to build and strengthen itself, but also to protect itself. This is true at every level of government. It is up to “We the People” to hold our civil magistrates accountable to constitutional government. And this is most efficiently done at the State level.

The citizens of Indiana can put a stop to this nonsense if they are of a mind to do so. They should rise as one in opposition to the court’s opinion; they should rise as one in demanding the resignations of the three justices who affirmed this draconian decision; they should rise as one in demanding the resignation of Newton County Sheriff Donald Hartman (and any other sheriff who expressed similar views); they should rise as one in demanding that the Indiana governor publicly repudiate this opinion and that he sign an EO countering it; and they should rise as one in making sure that every elected official in Indiana knows that the people of the Hoosier State will not sit back and allow their liberties to be trampled on in such an egregious fashion.

As I have said in past columns, liberty will be won or lost at the State level. All this talk about “saving America” is just that: talk. If we are serious about protecting and preserving our liberties, we will work to ensure that our individual State is the vanguard of freedom–not the instrument of its demise. If we cannot convince our State and local governments to protect our liberties, we are dreaming if we think we are going to convince Washington, D.C., to do the same.

The decision of the Indiana Supreme Court and the public statements of Sheriff Donald Hartman prove that George Washington was spot-on: government is a “fearful master.”

Freedom-loving Hoosiers need to stand up NOW!

Have a Blessed Day!

Osama Bin Laden is dead and his body has already been fed to the sharks via a sea burial.

Is it strange that there would not be any time for others to see or witness the burial?

This was done in accordance to the “peaceful religion of Islam” laws for the dead. Why would we want to respect that for this man?

Did we really need to placate his followers and allow him to get the imaginary benefits of the ruse of Allah’s 72 virgins in heaven? I’d say no. So why bury him so fast?

So, you should notice that “salvation” in almost all religions is based upon the works of an individual. With these requirements of works false guilt and manipulation is easily used upon man to control him. This is true of the false religion of Islam.

There is only one religion which relies NOT upon the works of the individual and only upon their faith in the one and only true God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Salvation is a gift and once you have that salvation no man may take from you once God’s grace has enabled you to know the truth contained within the Bible.

Catholicism is another form of false religion being it too is a works based religion. It has placed a twist from faith towards works doctrine.

Faith is a gift so that NO MAN MAY BOAST. This teaches us humility before our fellow man and helps us to treat others with a love which God of the bible had shown us.

Unlike Islam, Christianity does not make it a decree or law that men are to be put to death for their “unbelief”. Men are put to death only for their behavior towards one another, not their belief in any false god.

I’d say, show the body of Osama for all who suffered such great losses because of him.

Please, now that’s taken care of, may we get our troops out of the middle east?

Have a blessed day!

The unjust redistribution of wealth in the State of  Wisconsin must stop. The state does not exist to provide for the needs of individuals — especially at the expense of other individuals! Benevolence is NOT a part of your job.  Benevolence is reserved for individuals, families, businesses, charitable groups, and churches.  As we have seen, it is way too easy for the state to spend other people’s money for “good causes”.  That is not your role and it is not your money to give away so freely!
 
It is the role of the state to protect all individuals from external forces which prevent each of us from enjoying our individual pursuits of life, liberty, and happiness.  This should be our common desire as citizens.  This goal should not allow one person or group to petition the government for free meals, free college education, free transportation, or free housing via forced diminishing of another person’s wealth. The government needs to stop confiscating wealth from some of it citizens to give to others.  Theft in any form is wrong.

I personally visited the capitol during the protests, and I listened to your hearings at State Fair Park on the 11th. There were many citizens –and some non-citizens!–asking that their particular handouts not be cut.  There were very few present that spoke of true individual rights or of the costs these handouts are to the taxpayer.  I am sure that most of the property owners and taxpayers–most of the people you represent–were busy working so they could afford to provide for their own meals, education, transportation and housing; not to mention their high Wisconsin taxes.  Please remember that you are to represent those people; not just the few that clamor loudly with fists raised for their own interests.

We voted for Governor Scott Walker and we support his budget bill and the collective bargaining bill. We have waited for decades to have representatives of principle and moral character to put forth a budget that would turn our state around financially.  Representatives that would stop the government from destroying the character of our citizens–either by unjustly taking from them or by wrongfully giving to them that which is not theirs. The demise of a republic is achieved when standards and principles are ignored, providing opportunity for groups to organize so as to give themselves pocketbook advantages at the cost of others.

We thank those of you that supported the collective bargaining reform, and we respectfully ask that you fully support the budget bill.

May God have mercy on our State of Wisconsin,

Greetings to you and I hope this letter finds all of you having hearts desiring both personal and civil governments reflecting morals which enable the experience of freedom.

I was born in 1957 and raised in La Crosse county. I moved and have lived the rest of my life in south eastern Wisconsin currently living in Sussex. I’ve been blessed with a wife and family and have worked all of my life while being active in my communities.

I visited our capital during the protests of the budget bill to observe what was going on. I also stopped by Monday, the 11th of April, to watch your hearings in person. I listened for a couple hours to people speaking for certain items to not be cut in this bill. I did noticed that when the few who were in support of the bill spoke they actually talked about individual rights and/or costs. Interesting how the people in opposition to the bill believe their so called rights are to be paid for or subsidized by others.

I voted for Gov. Walker (and would do it again!) and do support this bill. I’ve been waiting for decades for someone to put forth a budget which would turn this state around financially and not succumb to the desires of the corrupt heart of man. There are many forms of government and the civil government can be so destructive to the character of man not only in its unjust taking from him but also in the wrongful giving to him.

The unjust redistribution of wealth in this state and nation must stop. The state doesn’t exist to provide for the individuals needs at the expense of others but does have the role to protect all individuals from external forces preventing any of us from enjoying our individual pursuits of happenstance. This should be our common desire as citizens. This goal doesn’t allow a path for one to petition the government for free college education, free meals, housing or transportation by the forced removal of another persons wealth. Money doesn’t grow on trees nor can the government create wealth it can only destroy it or move it around.

This meeting reminded me of the New Berlin school board meetings I had attended. Local school board budget meetings involving the votes of those present would determine issues from the board. Many school teachers seemed to know when to show up and protect their interests while the property owners seem to fall short and be out numbered in trying to protect their own interests.

My children have been working hard to put themselves through school and yet when they see the benefits which others receive there is that thought of how easy it would be for them to do so as well. The covetousness in the heart and the greed are great, the state’s wrongful benevolence is contrary to our beliefs. The civil government taking of money and giving to others is theft.

The majority of us have voted for Gov. Walker and I am in strong support of this budget.

The demise of a republic is achieved when standards are ignored which then opens up opportunities for people to organize solidarity groups intending to give themselves pocketbook advantages at the cost of others.

Theft is wrong even when granted by a government out of control. Benevolence is not a part of your jobs, that is reserved for families, friends, businesses and churches. It’s way too easy to spend other people’s money for “good causes”. It was never intended for it to be yours to give! As a people we have strayed far from what is right.

Please pass this bill as presented. I also supported the passage of collective bargaining.

Respectfully submitted.

May God richly bless our State of Wisconsin
