A sad day for Boy Scouts in the UK

From The Daily Telegraph (UK):

Scouts will now be a little worse prepared after they were banned from carrying their traditional penknives (pocketknives -IB) due to the fears of those in charge of health and safety.

Here’s a brief (VERY brief) history of crime control in the UK:

1996 Dunblane Massacre  kills 16 children and one adult.

1997 The UK bans pistols. Not even the UK Olympic team is spared, they must leave the country to conduct pistol practise.

1997 – present: Because firearms are illegal, knife crime and knife murder is skyrocketing in the UK. Also, due to firearms being turned into mystical taboo items, the common Brit is horrified if they even come across a single .22 short bullet.

So, where does that leave the Brits? Well, for one thing, if they are scared of .22 short shells laying in doorways you can bet they will also go pale if they see a young boy use a knife to whittle a new neckerchief slide, build the derby car, or carve a regatta sailboat. All of which are traditional scout activities. Ladies and gentlemen, the pussification of the young man has truly begun, in the UK at least.

Miss Burgin, who offers lessons in carving using penknives, added: “If you teach children to use a knife properly they won’t abuse it. If someone wants to cause harm they will do it anyway. It is a real shame it has come to this.”

That Miss Burgin sounds like she has her head screwed on right. We can create all the laws and policies we want, but only the peaceful will abide while the criminal reigns supreme. I hope and pray this nanny-state nonsense never comes to our shores.

John Adams Project: Seeking Justice in the Military Commissions Proceedings

From our dear friends from the ACLU

“One of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country.” — John Adams on his decision to defend British soldiers charged with killing Americans in the Boston Massacre

The ACLU and NACDL have assembled defense teams to be available to assist in the representation of detainees facing prosecution at Guantánamo.

Not so fast: Where is Eric Holder in all of this?How About THAT – Eric Holder’s Law Firm Represents Gitmo Detainees »

The American people elect a President with a total of 42 days experience as a U S Senator from the most politically corrupt state in America whose Governor is ousted from office. The President’s first official act is to close Gitmo and make sure Terrorists civil rights are not violated.

http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/08/25/how-about-that-eric-holder39s-law-firm-represents-gitmo-detainees/

The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm an Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.

Perhaps this quote from Adams will give pause:Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

John Adams.

Civilisation and catastrophe: how long before recovery...

…if ever?

David Davis

I often trouble myself with thoughts about this in the dark nights. Human civilisation is fragile, whatever the GreeNazis pretend to us in their false-hysteria about how powerfully we drive the planet’s climate. Moreover, we have GramscoFabiaNazis, deliberately bent on destruction of everything, and enslavement of everyone, outside their machine-gun-and-barbed-wire-condominia.

Dale Amon over at Samizdata has very kindly agreed to our being able to republish his latest essay here. The comment thread on his, is interesting and contains controversy:-

“RESET” (tagged “Philosphical”)

While I was pondering the ideas of historicism last week, my thoughts also chained through a number of associations and arrived at an interesting question: “Could humanity actually be sent back to the Stone Age?” I arrived at this question by way of cyclical history and thoughts on whether a single species could actually provide more than one data point on the sequence and timing of social, philosophical and technological innovations.

My own answer was “No”. I will explain with a thought experiment.

First imagine a maximal disaster, whether natural or human caused, that does not wipe out the species. This means we must guarantee there is a large enough breeding population left over somewhere in the world such that after the event or period in question, the population is able to rebound rather than decline to extinction. My guess is we need somewhere in the range of 1000 individuals, with a typical age and sex distribution. They do not all have to be in one place, but they do have to be within a distance that allows intermarriage between groups. If there were 10 groups of 100 dispersed over some distance which is no more than a few days to a week travel by foot or horseback, I would consider that a viable population.

It seems unlikely any event would leave only one such pocket. Possible… but not very probable. I will be assuming for my baseline a surviving population on earth of perhaps one million, scattered about in small groups in out of the way places across vast distances. The Himalayas, the Andes, islands in the Pacific, places like some of the Outer Hebrides or the Falklands, small towns in the Rocky Mountains and such.

Even if a place starts out smaller than 100, we may presume that small groups of one or more survivors will tend to congregate together for safety and to reach a critical mass of manpower and skills for survival. In this, some of those isolated ancient villages may indeed have the edge.

Now comes the question: does this actually reset humanity to the stone age? I think the immediate answer is no. Most places in the world simply lack people with hunter-gatherer skills and even for people who do manage to figure them out in time to not die of cold and starvation it will not be enough. They will want more out of life. Most will join with others they run across and will rapidly transition to a more familiar lifestyle with farming at its center. Even amongst town and city folk there are those sufficiently skilled in growing things in garden plots. This will be much superior to life in temporary lean-to shelters where survival hinges on running down a deer in the dead of winter.

In the most likely scenario, the majority of survivors a year on from our hypothetical will live in such places, whether they are communities with a long history of self sufficiency or new ones which have learned the hard way, ie Plymouth without the friendly natives, is immaterial in the long run.

One might then presume we will fall back to an agrarian stone-age rather than a full on hunter-gatherer stone-age. If so, one would be very wrong. The survivors will at the very least have knowledge of the way things were and of what was once possible, even if they do not know how. The intelligence spread of the survivors will be no different than the intelligence spread of the general population today so effort will go into recovering capabilities that make survival easier. I suspect that some locations would be forging metals within a few years and some would be back to the iron age and even steel within a few decades at most. Trade would pop up very quickly because the survivors would be used to trade and specialization. One location might supply some quantities of one ore and another location a different one and yet a third location will specialize in mud brick oven smelters with bellows of wood and animal hide and molds of sand or clay. Tallow from animal fat might be used for wax to make lost-wax molds.

Now with the ability to make iron, steel is not very much harder. Labour intensive perhaps, but it has properties for tools and farm implements that will make that effort worthwhile. If you can make ploughs and tools, you can build a foot treadle lathe. If you can do that, you can copy a Lee Enfield rifle, just like Afghan villagers did at the turn of the previous century. Perhaps muskets are easier for a start: black powder is not hard to make and the materials are not that uncommon. Urine was a key ingredient and the source of a lively trade in London five hundred years ago for just that reason. Flint is not exactly rare and acquiring it will be the cause of yet more trade.

So we have rather primitive firearms almost as soon as we can make decent iron.

Now here is one you might not have seen coming… electricity. Humans knew how to make batteries thousands of years ago. All you need is a clay pot, an acid and simple materials for the anode and cathode. Good wire is a problem, but people will just deal with what they have until they can figure out how to do better. Iron is not great, but if you have nothing else? In any case, there should be loads of copper to be mined out of the detritus of the dead civilization. There will be loads more than are needed at first and stripping raw materials from the old cities will be the source of a lively trade and wealth for the traders.

If you have electricity from batteries, you can do electroplating. Of course, if you get your hands on copper wire, low quality motors and generators can be made by hand. I did so from a few nails and a bit of wire when I was perhaps ten or twelve. I am sure an adult with a lifetime experience of fixing broken farm implements could do much better. You can drive them with wind power. Windmills are not terribly taxing to build.

But wait… there is more. Radio! Somewhere someone is going to remember that if you can find crystals of Galena, you can make a cats-whisker receiver. As for the transmitter, a spark gap telegraph key might be enough to start with, and antennas are just wire.

What about transportation? Inefficient steam engines will not be difficult to make and boat building will not be forgotten; we will still have horses and the making of wagons using steel rimmed wheels and of shoes for horses will be well within the abilities of a local blacksmith shop.

What we would not have is a very large part of modern medicine as it relies on techniques that cannot be implemented in a blacksmith shop. What we would have is a true knowledge of anatomy, the causes of disease, the symptoms of all the now untreatable disorders, and some idea of what we could only do… if we could re-invent genetic engineering and manipulate DNA again.

So my guess is, the absolute worst non-extinction event that can happen to the human species will see us back to the 17th Century (plus radio, steam and a few other amenities) within a generation or two.

Lord, what a time of adventure it would be! Swords, muskets, sailing ships, radio and a nearly empty world with magical items scattered across it and there for the taking.

Constitution Day Arlington, Va.: Jerome Corsi Honored - Andrew Jackson 'Champion of Liberty'

Dr. Corsi Ph D Harvard

WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi will be the keynote speaker at Howard Phillips’ Constitution Day commemoration in Arlington, Va., this month.

He also will be honored with the Andrew Jackson Champion of Liberty award.

There is no admission charge to the Sept. 17 event at the Hyatt Arlington Hotel, 1325 Wilson Blvd.

The event celebrates the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.

Corsi will speak on the constitutional issues he’s researched, especially those raised by the idea of a European-style North American Union.

The award will be presented by Phillips.

Chuck Baldwin, the 2008 Constitution Party presidential candidate, also will speak. His topic is “The Dangers of a Constitutional Convention.”

Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including his best-sellers “The Obama Nation” and “The Late Great USA.” Other books include “Showdown with Nuclear Iran,” “Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil,” which he co-authored with WND columnist Craig. R. Smith, and “Atomic Iran.”

Corsi also is an expert on political violence and terrorism. In 1981, he received a Top Secret clearance from the Agency for International Development, where he assisted in providing anti-terrorism/hostage survival training to embassy personnel.

Change of parties

I have finally had enough of the Democrats and the Republicans. I changed my party affiliation to the Constitutional Party two weeks ago. Best thing I have done in years. The WH is so full of itself, that it can not see the idiocy in its policy making. The Republicans are powerless to do anything about it even if they could. The liberals seem to have a problem these days, if we criticise Obama we are being too critical. The press tares us apart for not being supportive. When a conservative in the traditional sense of the word is in the WH then the same press bends itself over backwards to criticize the WH. Be fare folks it has always been a tradition to have the  parties out of power to criticise the White House, but I guess that since Obama god is now president we have to worship him. Sorry folks I can not do that and for that mater won’t do it. We need to return to the republic that this nation was designed to be, based on limited government and constitutional principles. Start cutting the size of the government in Washington and things will get better. More, bigger and powerful government is not the answer, but the cause of the problems we are facing.

Technocracy

With all this talk and controversy surrounding the “czars” appointed by Pres. Obama, I thought it would be a good time to talk about technocracy, which Wikipedia (the fount of all knowledge) characterizes as “a form of government in which engineers, scientists, and other technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields”.  Man that’s a horrible way to start a blog entry, like when little kids write papers and quote Webster’s Dictionary in their opening sentence.

Anyway, what’s wrong with technocracy?  For one, it is incompatible with the ideals of republican government.  In our system, democratic principles are applied to choose individuals that we deem appropriately wise and tempered to temporarily represent our interests in a large and intentionally inefficient government.  It is intentionally inefficient in order to prevent it from becoming too powerful, and in turn from becoming as oppressive as the monarchy we violently escaped.  In a technocracy, the real decision-makers are appointed based on their specialized skills and knowledge, their expert status.  They are not representatives of the people, they are servants of an ideal of a government that efficiently and powerfully administers their fields of expertise.  This is clearly incompatible with our system.

On a totally unrelated note, here’s a list of Obama’s appointed czars:

  1. Afghanistan Czar
  2. AIDS Czar
  3. Auto Recovery Czar
  4. Border Czar
  5. California Water Czar
  6. Car Czar
  7. Central Region Czar
  8. Climate Czar
  9. Domestic Violence Czar
  10. Drug Czar
  11. Economic Czar
  12. Energy and Environment Czar
  13. Faith-Based Czar
  14. Government Performance Czar
  15. Great Lakes Czar
  16. Green Jobs Czar
  17. Guantanamo Closure Czar
  18. Health Czar
  19. Information Czar
  20. Intelligence Czar
  21. Mideast Peace Czar
  22. Pay Czar
  23. Regulatory Czar
  24. Science Czar
  25. Stimulus Accountability Czar
  26. Sudan Czar
  27. TARP Czar
  28. Technology Czar
  29. Terrorism Czar
  30. Urban Affairs Czar
  31. Weapons Czar
  32. WMD Policy Czar

The link above explains what all of these positions are actually responsible for.  Many of them relate to areas the federal government has no explicit or even implicit constitutional authority to be involved in, but neither of our major parties cares about that (look up Bush’s czars to see proof).  What concerns me is not so much the size of this government, but its extent.  It has shown no restraint in expanding into more and more areas of our lives.  This is, of course, expected under technocratic government — the experts can organize our lives better than we can.  That’s why we have mandatory Social Security and unemployment insurance, for example.

It’s a natural progression toward dystopia.  Taking away the rights of individuals and associations of individuals (families, corporations) to manage their own finances, make their own decisions, use their private property as they see fit, etc.  Increasing surveillance and passing vague laws to be interpreted and applied by the judgment of the expert elite.  This is a possible future, and when folks like me begin to worry about czars and such, it is this eventuality that we are seeking to avoid.  But make no mistake, this is a path that we have already traveled far down.

The "I Pledge to Serve Obama" Video

This video was created by Demi Moore, the actress, and shown to school children.  Many parents were upset by the move to indoctrinate their kids to serve Barack Obama blindly and loyally.  It would have been better to teach our kids to think independently, study history and use common sense and logic to draw their conclusions.  Their beliefs will be formed throughout their lives when experience is added to the equation.

But there is a move afoot to recruit the younger generations to fall in lockstep with Obama and follow him down the yellow brick road.  They’re expecting to see a wizard, but what they will find disappointing in the end, is that he is nothing more than a mere mortal man like the rest of us.

It doesn’t take much to look at everything Obama has written, said and done in his life to figure out that he admires himself too much and is power hungry.  The warning signs are visible for those who aren’t wearing celebrity blinders and those who don’t have their heads stuck in the sand.  OBAMA IS FOLLOWING THE MODEL OF DICTATORS.  Don’t blame the messenger for bringing you the message.  Blame Obama.  He is responsible for what is being said about him.  Just look for the truth and you will find it.

Hopefully, you listened to the pledges in this video carefully and thoughtfully. 

Obama said:  “Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, responsiblity…”

Question:  From where do we summon the new spirit?  Can we summon a new spirit from within ourselves?  Either it’s there or it isn’t.  If it’s there, it is influencing us already.  If not from within, then from without.  But from where without?  From Obama?  From Hollywood?  From the government?  From where?

Thought:  Christianity has offered a new spirit for millennia from God.  We are all born with a self-centered spirit.  When we ask God to give us a new spirit, He gives us a selfless spirit and a heart to serve Him and those less fortunate.  And it doesn’t raise our taxes or rob us of our freedom.

Obama continued:  “…where each of us resolves to pitch in, work harder and look after each other.”

Truth:  Christianity was already doing this and has been for millennia.

The first celebrity pledge:  I pledge to help end hunger in America by supporting Feeding America and local food banks.

Thought:  Christian ministries, churches and Christian people have always feed the poor.  There are too many to name.  Feed the Chidren, Joyce Meyer Ministries, the Salvation Army, The Red Cross, James Robertson Ministries, and every church I’ve ever been associated with, has programs to feed the hungry, clothe and house the poor, drill water wells for clean, safe drinking water, bring medicines and educate.  There are Mercy Ships that sail around the world bringing doctors, surgeons and nurses to the poor and afflicted.  The government never talks about these people or organizations.  They never receive medals from a president for their sacrifices, compassion and hard work to help the needy.  Often they are attacked and ridiculed and sued.

Read Isaiah 58:6-7

God speaking:  “Is not this the fast that I have chosen?  to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?  when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?”

Verse 8 promises that adhering to these principles will result in your good health.  What a health care plan that is!  And it’s free while helping others.  No need for big government here.

God said in  Exodus 23:25  “And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water;  and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”

Wow.  Just what we need without big government and high taxes while retaining our freedom.  Why isn’t everyone for this?  It’s much better than Obama’s big ideas.  God takes care of us and Christians take care of everyone in need.

Next pledge:  I pledge to smile, laugh, love more …

The Bible tells us to love even our enemies, to love one another, to love our mothers, fathers and children and to love God with all our hearts.  This is something Christians have been doing for thousands of years, not waiting until a celebrity told us to do it.  Where have these Hollywood types been?

As for smiling and laughing more, God promised to give us “joy unspeakable and full of glory” for serving and loving Him.   It’s real.  I’ve experienced it. 

The pledge continues:  to volunteer to help children battling illnesses…

Thought:  Again, Christianity has been doing that for millennia.

Pledge:  to be great mothers and fathers.

Thought:  This is too easy.  Again, Christianity.

The Bible talks about being our brother’s keeper and calls us to help widows, orphans, the sick , the poor, the captives and the wounded.  It even tells us to love our enemies.  Hollywood can’t improve on this.  Obama didn’t invent the notion of service.

Pledge:  to work with UNICEF.

Thought:  UNICEF is a United Nations organization.  We’ve all heard the stories of corruption, power, manipulation, deception with all things United Nations.  AND the UN costs us a fortune that doesn’t go to the needy.  Why not work with the Christian organizations where they do it without pay and without power.  Less incentive for corruption and more of the resources goes straight to those in need.

Skipping past some of the very general pledges to being a voice for those who have no voice.

Thought:  Obama recently said he didn’t want to hear from the ordinary common people who were trying to be heard on the health care issue.  His attitude was “just shut up and go along with whatever I want.” 

Pledge:  to consider myself an American, not an African-American.

Thought:  How does that square with Obama’s twenty-plus year membership of the Trinity United Church of Christ whose main thrust was Africa and hate toward America?  Most of Obama’s followers call themselves African-Americans.  I’ve never heard Obama say they should consider themselves as just an American.

Pledge:  to always represent my country with pride, dignity and honesty.

Thought:  Obama has never done this!  He always bashes our country, talks about what horrible things America is guilty of, apologizes for American behavior on foreign soil every time he travels.  Hollywood stars have not shown pride to be American.  They’ve sided with brutal dictators like Castro and Chavez.

Hollywood stars have not behaved with dignity.  They use the most vulgar language in public and on film.  They strip as nearly naked as they legally can, and somtimes completely nude on film.  They’ve had sex on the big screen for all to see.  They use obscene gesters, drink too much alcohol and use illegal drugs.  We’ve all seen them hauled off to jail and seen their mug shots on the evening news.  Many of them have slept around, shacked up together, had children out of wedlock and have the audacity to lecture Christians about legislating morality.  Now comes the pledge to represent our country with pride and dignity.  They are the least dignified in this country. Watch their movies and listen to the lyrics of their songs.   I hope they keep this pledge.

Pledge:  to go to USASERVICE.ORG and find a service project that I am passionate about.

Thought:  This is Obama’s agenda to change the way we commemorate Sept. 11.  The Democrats see that day as belonging to Republicans.  They want to take it away and use it in their own way and make it their own.  Democrats complained that Republicans were politicizing Sept. 11.,.  But Obama is politicizing Sept. 11 completely.

President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act which, for the first time, officially recognizes September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.  Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, had already formed a service organization and President Bush gave awards to youth who reached certain milestones of service.  They never co-opted September 11th to do so.  Obama is politicizing this tragic day that we all experienced together.  He didn’t ask most of us if we wanted to change the way we remember it to a day of service.

Just for laughs and to show how ridiculous this 4:14 minute Hollywood “I Pledge” video is, notice the pledge at 1:20 minutes:  “I pledge allegiance to the FUNK, to the United Funk of Funkadelica.”  (or however you spell it.) 

Thought:   I guess the guy couldn’t bring himself to pledge his allegiance to his country where he’s lived free and reached success.

Pledge at 1:26 minutes:  “I pledge to never give anyone the finger when I’m driving again.”

Thought:   I don’t want this kind of topic to be shown to children.  It should not be part of the discussion in a school.  And by the way, Christians never do this anyway.  We don’t have to pledge to stop being vulgar and rude.

Then the pledges get politically left-wing:  to make sure senior citizens have access to health care (left wing propaganda)  so that our next generations’ memories will not be forgotten  (what????)

to advance stem cell research (left wing propaganda)

followed by a lot of feel-good general pledges that Christians routinely practice without even having to think about it, like meeting my neighbors, giving them a smile, and asking them how I can be of service to them .

Thought:  Christians and most Americans, whether they are Christian or not, have always helped their neighbors when needed.  That’s the American way.   These Hollywooders are just now deciding to do that?  Where have they been all their lives? 

Then there’s the really left wing propaganda pledges:  I pledge to use less plastic, less bottled water, plant 500 trees, help our planet, be more green, no longer use plastic bags at the grocery store, consume less and cultivate more, yada, yada, yada…

Thought:  Here’s an economy killer.  Kills the profits of companies that make plastic, bottles, bottled water, plastic bags and anything that is consumed.  Super.  More Americans lose their jobs as more companies close.  That ought to be a big help.  They didn’t mention their limos, designer gowns, shoes, bags, jewelry, hair styling, exotic vacations, jetting around the globe, parties, balls, award ceremonies and after-parties, make-up, expensive cosmetic surgeries, cosmetic dental care, nail salons, fancy mansions, second homes, and everything consumed to make films, albums and the accompanying advertising.  The best they could do was give up their bottled water and plastic bags at the grocery store. 

“so that we are on this planet forever.”  Where else would you be?  The moon?  We can hope.

Pledge of sickness:  (at 2:23 minutes) “I pledge to flush only after a deuce, never a single.”

Thought:  I don’t want to think about that one.  Ewwwwwww!   Totally not necessary.  America is NOT a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

Pledge:  to turn the lights off…..yada, yada, yada..

Thought:  Our parents taught us that.  It’s common sense.  Glad to know he’s finally come to use his.  Keeps our electricity bill down.  Did he leave the water running, too?

Pledge:  to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid.

Thought:  If that is what you desire, you have the right.  If others don’t have that desire or see their vehicles as obnoxious, they shouldn’t be forced to follow you.

Pledge:  to drive slower and not use as much gas.

Thought:  Tlhat’s your right.  Go for it.  How about your jet, Mr. & Mrs. Hollywood?  How about your jet, Mr. & Mrs. Obama, Mr. & Mrs. Al Gore?

Pledge:  to express the importance of art education in our schools.

Thought:  as long as you don’t teach them to paint Christ in a jar of urine, or nudity or child porn or porn of any kind, or evil depictions of Pres. Bush, or filthy films or nasty music, etc.

Pledge:  to sell a culture of intelligence instead of ignorance.

Thought:  This one is great if they will stick to the truth and real history and science, rather than lies, conspiracies, revisionist history, omission of Christianity’s contributions to the founding of America, the importance of Biblical principles in the founding documents and true science over junk science.

Pledge to end slavery:  sure, who doesn’t want to end slavery like we did here in America?

Pledge:  to defend issues that I care about.

Thought:  Does this mean that they will stop attacking others who defend issues that they care about, stop name-calling and denigrating opponents and previous administrations?

BUT HERE’S THE DEAL-BREAKER:  “I PLEDGE TO BE OF SERVICE TO BARACK OBAMA (KISSES BOTH HIS BICEPS).

Let’s revisit the old history books before the revisionists got hold of them.  Our elected officials were elected to serve US, not to rule over us.   UNLESS YOU’RE IN THE MILITARY, NEVER PLEDGE TO BE A SERVANT TO OBAMA.  HE IS YOUR SERVANT, ALTHOUGH I DOUBT HE HAS ANY INTENTIONS TO CLIMB DOWN OFF HIS THRONE AND DO SO.

Rather than serving Barack Obama, let’s serve God and be blessed in the process.  We won’t need government assistance or health insurance.  God will bless our food and water.  No droughts or famines.  No disease.

But the liberals, the left-wing and Hollywood have worked fervantly to defeat Christianity in America.   They’ve yelled, screamed and protested all things Christian in America.  They’ve said that we can’t legislate morality, yet Obama called a bunch of Jewish Rabbis and told them they must pass his health care because it is immoral not to do so.  He’s trying to legislate morality as he sees it.  (Although, I personallly believe he has a different agenda more about power-grabbing.)

The very people who wanted to separate church and state, now pledge to uphold Christian values and call them government initiatives.  After influencing generations to abandon Christianity and live immoral lives, they now call for everyone to pledge to live by Christian principles abandoned by those who shunned their Source.  But in doing so, the government will lock its tenacles around your bodies and you will have lost your freedoms gauranteed by the Constitution.

IN GOD WE TRUST worked very well until Hollywood’s immorality became mainstream.  How do you like this brave new world where the youngest children tell you to F###Off?  Where your young daughters dress like hookers and the word, “Lady”, no longer has a use in its truest definition:  

la⋅dy –noun 

1.  a woman who is refined, polite, and well-spoken: She may be poor and have little education, but she’s a real lady.

How do you like seeing young men wearing their pants down with their underwear in full view, and young girls with lingerie in full view – or worse, their body parts in full view?  How do you like this great media-savvy world where newscasters and commentators use profanity in their broadcasts and the women no longer dress professionally, but wear plunging necklines as if we wouldn’t watch just for the news?

Hollywood has been a large part of the problem and this little “I Pledge” video is not helpful, as they think it is.    Hollywood helped elect Obama, the power-grabbing, Constitution-skirting, czar-hiring radical.  America’s in real trouble, but the common patriotic citizens will be the solution.

Obama seemed delighted during his campaign when he was called the messiah and the annointed one.  He did little to nothing to stop the use of those titles.  Now he wants people to pledge to serve him.  This video begins and ends with his face – nose in the air in arrogance. 

There will be no Hitlers, Castros or Chavez-type rulers in America.  There are too many of us who are not going to sit still for that.  Parents should really think about taking their children out of public schools and put them in private schools, preferably religious schools.  (not hadrassas)

We’d be better off if we keep Obama and Hollywood out of our schools.  Remember what Obama said, “We are what we learn.”  Well, don’t let Obama and Hollywood decide what your children will learn.
