My Top Ten Men of The Bible
Posted: May 31, 2012 Filed under: Bible, Family, Theology Leave a comment »David Wood asked me a question last week that has generated quite a bit of thought. He asked me who I thought the top five men were in the bible and I could not give him a top five. I gave him my top three but it is hard to do a top five. The top three are men of great character. They all have impeccable integrity. In other words they were well turned, integrated, void of duplicity with few or no visible flaws. The term used of Job comes from the lathe, it means to be well turned without visible flaw. The LORD Himself says of Job [Job 2:3] “There is no one like him on earth, a blameless man, an upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he holds fast to his integrity.” The words integrity and blameless are very close in definition. Job may not have been perfect but it is very hard to find fault in him. There is no question about it, not as far as scripture is concerned: he was straight as an arrow, well turned, he feared God and hated sin plus he had that impeccable integrity.
In light of this: my top three [put them in any order you choose] are Joseph, Job and Daniel. All three are upright, God-fearing men who put a high premium on integrity. These guys were honest to a fault and they had such great integrity until you could put them under a microscope. In other words, these men could have lived in glass houses whereas folks like King David [and myself] needed some walls to hide behind. By the way, all three of these guys had an enduring strength that refused to give in to the circumstances. All three endured a lot of suffering. Joseph spent time in prison for refusing to have sex with the wife of his boss; Daniel was thrown into a Lion’s den for praying and Job lost all ten of his children in one storm for no earthly reason.
My second three come under a different heading. With the first three, I considered their entire life, body of work but with the second group, it is what they accomplished after conversion [so to speak]. My second three are Moses, Paul and David. Again, put them in any order. It would be hard to say who is four and who is six. These men all had glaring faults which is what separated them from the group above. Moses had a violent temper and it cost him–it did not get to go into the land of promise because he lose his temper, threatened the Israelites and struck the ROCK in anger. Moses was one hundred times greater than myself, I am just telling you what is in the bible. Paul was a little bitty fellow who wanted to be a big man. They named him Saul [big] but God changed his name to Paul [little]. John Chrysostom believed he was a dwarf. All legends have him painted as a very little man. I think this is why he was such an over achiever. I asked Joe David a week or so back: “If you were going on a mission trip, who would you prefer to go with, Paul or Barnabas?” Without a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Barnabas”. The boy knows his bible. Barnabas was easy to get along with, compassionate and patient. If Paul’s patience was gun powder, he wouldn’t have had enough to blow his nose. He was highly driven. Light the every ready bunny, he went night and day and expected everyone else to do the same. I think it would have been hard to relax in his presence. People who work with me say that I don’t beleave stress, I create it and they may be right but I am mild compared to Paul. Paul worked with a lot of people: John Mark, Barnabas, Silas, Aquilla, Apollo, Peter and on and on but Timothy is the only one that stayed with him from start to finish. I think you and I know why: Timothy was a mild-mannered young man who could work with anyone. All that said, I do not question Paul’s devotion to Christ. In my opinion, he lived next door to Jesus. What I really appreciate about Paul is his contribution to scripture and his explanation of the doctrine of Grace. This puts Paul either four or five on my list.
Moses was a great leader. He was meek and that does not mean weak. Meekness is strength under control. Moses was the meekest man on earth. God worked miracles through Moses. God gave us the law [Torah] through moses. Through Moses, God taught the Israelites how to approach Him in worship. I heard a very intelligent man make an idiotic statement a month or so ago on talk radio. He said, “The bible had no influence on the founding of our country or any of our laws”. The man is not a liberal, he is a pagan conservative. He cannot see the forest for the trees. Practically all the old laws and the constitution can be linked to scripture and the Laws of Moses. Moses has a thick portfolio. His influence is still being felt world-wide and that was 6,000 years ago.
David is unique. He was a man after God’s heart. He had a passion for worship that in unmatched in scripture and his greatest contribution is to praise and worship. Can you imagine life without the PSALMS. I cannot, I absolutely love the Psalms. I read them almost everyday and sometime twice a day. Our strength is also our weakness. David was passion driven but sometimes he allowed the wrong passions to drive him and he committed some atrocious deeds. He took another man’s wife and life. The LORD did not wink at that and He never accepted Bathsheba as David’s legitimate wife [Matthew 1:6]. David would be much closer to the top had he been a man of integrity. He wanted to be and at times he thought of himself as a man of integrity but that was his lacking, not his strength. You cannot put him in the same class with Job, Joseph or Daniel. He was a great man and Israel’s best king from top to bottom. I think Josiah was there best king in terms of integrity and purity but David was a little wiser and a stronger leader.
So there are my top SIX, so where do we go from here? Number 7 is tough because I have two people in mind. ABRAHAM and JOHN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST. He was from the South, check it out. I’m not sure he ever went as far North as Galilee. We will go with ABRAHAM as 7 and John as 8. Abraham’s contribution is unquestionable: he is our father in the faith. We all [those that believe] go back to Abraham. Abraham’s faith was off the charts. He had the ability to visualize the unseen. He did have a bad weakness: he was a used camel salesman. Just kidding but he was known to deceive on occasion and it was not a good witness. It was also a character flaw that was passed to succeeding generations. Issac would lie if you got him in a tight and Jacob became better at deception than his father or grandfather. Joseph had to break this curse. I guarantee you, you did not want to buy a camel from Jacob. Despite Abraham’s flaw, he has to be in the top ten. He was a great man of faith.
John the Baptist grades high on Integrity, very high. He grades high on spiritual disciplines. He was the model witness, always pointing away from himself to Jesus. He was humble, common, frugal, plain, and as down to earth as you could want. He never wore a suit and tie. Gray Allison and Teddie Turrentine would never allow John the Baptist to preach a revival in their church because he did not dress like a preacher but he was a preacher. I would use him. Tim Keenum would use him. Not only would he not wear a tie if he came to your church, he might not wear shoes either. We know exactly what he would preach every night: repentance from sin and turning to Jesus. He would get on Obama every now and then just as he did Herod in his day. I heard a black preacher say once, that “John’s political views caused him to lose his head”. I didn’t appreciate the statement then and I don’t now. A real prophet will denounce sin, even if its living in a white house. Preachers, we don’t get our orders from the world, the Capitol or the Vatican. If a politician is corrupt and if they promote the wholesale slaughter of the unborn, we are to denounce them. Jesus also denounced Herod. Preach the whole bible not just the parts you like. God can’t get you out of something that you don’t have the courage to get into.
Nine and Ten are really hard: some many names come to mind. I think I will go with STEPHEN and JOHN THE APOSTLE but there are so many that are on my mind like: Jeremiah, Samuel, Hosea, Barnabas, Simon Peter and many, many more. STEPHEN makes my top ten because of his INTEGRITY. I am just high on men of integrity. I’m like David, I don’t have much but that is what I want…I want to be a man of integrity. Stephen was full of faith, wisdom and the Holy Spirit–not a bad combination. He knew the bible from front to back. He was a man of courage and he faced the same hateful mob that cried for the crucifixion of the LORD. Stephen lived well and died heroically. He gets straight A’s across the board.
JOHN THE APOSTLE was the only mystic and theologian among the disciples. Peter did delve into theology some but he was mostly an evangelist whereas John was a thinker, a writer and a teacher. The gospel of John is out of this world. Chapter one is unbelievable. John uses light as a metaphor for Christ. Light gives life. Light is pure–cannot be contaminated. You can corrupt water, air, any substance known to man but you cannot contaminate light. John believed that every natural created thing mirrored a spiritual reality. God created this visible world to reflect the world that is coming. All the gospel are great but I love John. Hey, I love them all.
Well folks, the above is what I think–put it with $1.60 and you can get a diet root beer at Gregg’s Grocery on 157. I am publishing this without it being proof read. If you see any mistakes: call me and I will correct them. I sure you will find some.
Does It “Seem” Impossible?
Posted: May 29, 2012 Filed under: Faith Leave a comment »All this may seem impossible to you but is it impossible for Me? Says the LORD of heaven’s armies. [Zechariah 8:6]
We humans are bad about putting everything into one of two categories: possible and impossible. Jesus said, “ With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.” Gabriel said to Mary, “For nothing will be impossible with God.” Although we are very familiar with these verses that tell us explicitely that there are no categories for possible and impossible because all things are possible and if all things are possible, impossibility does not exist; we still continue to judge situation and circumstances on the basis of what seems possible or impossible.
Zechariah the prophet is speaking to the Jewish exiles. They lived in Babylon for 70 years. Many of the Jews died in captivity and many were born during this period. These Jewish exiles had given in to despair. They saw absolutely no hope of getting out of their bad situation. All the prophets were speaking of restoration but that seemed impossible to the Jews. They had no visible leader, they had no freedom, they were scattered all over kingdom come and their home land was occupied by someone else. Zechariah said, “Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your King is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet He is humble and riding on a donkey.” I can just hear the Jews saying, “Yeah, right–I bet we rejoice and don’t hold your breath until we shout. We have nothing to rejoice about and there is no shout in us.” I can see their point of view, things did seem impossible.
What the Jews did not understand was that God had a plan and He was working that plan to perfection. He was sending a KING, a righteous King, a victorious King and an humble King. He was coming to the Jews and He would do for them what they had never been able to do for themselves. He would guide them, strengthen them, teach them and even die for them. A couple of quick obervations: [1] God did restore the Jews [Babylonian Captivity lasted only 70 years] [2] God sent them the humble, yet righteous King [Jesus]. In other words, what seemed to be impossible with the Jews was always possible with God. God fulfilled both promises without their faith or their help.
Let me present a question–what seems impossible to you today? Be honest, if you are human there is something in your life that seems impossible. It could be a situation; it could be a relationship; it could be an addiction of some sort or perhaps a financial problem. What ever it is: it looms big and you feel overwhelmed and possibly even helpless. The problem seems impossible to you. You do not see how it can work out for your good and God’s glory.
This is where Zechariah and the story of the Jewish exiles is so encouraging. What seems impossible is not impossible. Our human “seeming” does not change reality. We can “seem” all we want and at the end of the day, there is no such thing as impossibility with God. The Jewish exiles had given in to hopelessness and despair because their situation seemed hopeless. In looking back we wink at their unbelief because we know how things turned out but had we been in their place, would we have reacted any differently?
So the main problem from the human point of view is the circumstances that make something “seem” impossible. There are a host of examples in the bible where men believed that things were impossible until God demonstrated His power and revealed them to be possible. One example is found in Zechariah 3:9–”I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.” I am sure that if we interviewed a Jewish Priest that he would have said, “No way Jose…it cannot be done. It would take more sacrifices than can be performed in a days time.” Yet God did exactly what He said He would do through His only begotten. In one day, Jesus became the only sacrifice needed to atone for the sins of all the world. What seemed impossible to the Jewish Priest in Zechariah’s day is crystal clear to us. We know beyond a doubt that God fulfilled the prophecy but it seemed impossible to them.
I believe you would get the same reaction from one of the Israelite slaves in Egypt. Let’s do an imaginary interview. “Sir, could you just take a break from making those bricks. I have a couple of questions I want to ask. What do you think about this man Moses who says that God has sent him to liberate you folks from bondage?” [The Israelite] “Well, I’ll tell you exactly what I think–its a pipe dream. I think the man has been in the sun too long. He came here with nothing but a stick in his hand while Pharaoh has one of the most powerful armies in the world. You can do your own math but I am telling you, it’s impossible or at least it seems that way to me.”
Fast forward 4,ooo years to Calvary. The crucifixion has just taken place and Jesus disciples are hiding in an upstairs room in the heart of the city of Jerusalem. We approach one of the disciples and say, “You fellows need to cheer up. Why all this doom and gloom. Do you not understand what God just did for you today. Listen, Jesus is not really dead. I’m not saying that He did not die but I am saying that it is impossible for Him to stay dead because He is the Son of God and death has no power over Him. You know guys, the cross as gory as it was, is not the end of the world, it is the beginning of a new era, a new order. Millions will enter into the same relationship you have with Jesus because of what happened out there today. Men, the worse is over–Jesus will suffer no more. It is time to celebrate the victory that was won today. Did you guys here Him cry out, ‘IT IS FINISHED’? Fellows, that mean that the work of redemption was complete, all our sins have been paid for so lets rejoice and be glad.” You know how they would have responded to that, the same way that you and I would…”Man get out of our face, all this stuff you are saying sounds good but we saw his lifeless body. We watched them put Him in the tomb. He is dead and all the things He stood for, died with Him.”
I am sure that it did seem impossible to the disciples, that God had just won the victory of the ages but in reality, it was a day of victory not defeat. The disciples felt defeat and were acting defeated because victory in this situation seemed impossible.
I am telling you what the word of God teaches me–when things seem impossible, it is merely an illusion because there is no such thing as IMPOSSIBLE with God. A thing may seem to be impossible but our seeming does not change reality. We may determine how things seem but God determines how things are: and they are seldom what they seem.
One Man’s Opinion [Article from April DIGEST]

Patrick Henry
Before I share my story and make a few comments, you need to understand that this is my opinion and not that of DBC or it’s members. I’m sure that some will agree, but there may be others who do not, so understand that I speak for myself.
I have not changed my position: the biggest issue this year and any election year is ABORTION. There is no excuse that I will accept for a person who votes for the killing of babies [Democratic]. I still hear dim-witted people say, “I’m a Conservative Democrat”. There are no Conservative Democrats, not in D.C. They ran Zel Miller out of their party 20 years ago. The Democrats are left wing, baby-killing socialists who want to raise our taxes and have the federal government control our lives. I, for one, am sick and tired of them taking my hard-earned money and distributing to their flakey left wing bombs like the National Endowments of Arts and an array of other left wing groups. Before you get all hot and bothered about my estimate of the Democrats; you need to understand that I am tired of these mealy mouth Republicans as well. The Republicans have the right philosophy and the brains to fix the problem; what they lack is guts. They don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do what needs to be done. They are afraid of the left wing media which is under the control of the Furher. There may be a few good congressmen in DC but they are few and far between. We have too many politicians and not enough statesmen. A politican worries about the next election [like Obama] and a statesmen worries about the future of the country. Washington is a stinky toilet that needs to be flushed. Shelby needs to retire and so do a host of others. I don’t want to send left wing Democrats to Washington, but I would like to see some new faces and have some folks up there that are more concerned about our nation than they are the next election or the opinion polls. As far as I can tell, Jesus never did opinion polls and neither did Paul. Republicans need to do what is right and stop worrying about polls or getting re-elected.
Folks, we have some serious issues that no one is addressing. Abortion is not even mentioned anymore. Seldom do we hear anything about the high price of oil. I know the tree hugging, spotted owl fans don’t want to hear this, but WE ARE AN OIL BASED ECONOMY and have been for a century. We need to be using our own oil, but we can’t because the tree huggers don’t want to offend the polar bears. Explain one thing to me Mr. or Mrs. Democrat, “How is it that you are more concerned about a bear than a baby?” I have lived for 62 years and I have yet to need a polar bear. Yeah buddy, if we can just protect the spotted owl and the polar bears, our economy is going to pick up in Alabama. Folks, these idiots are killing us. Gas has doubled, groceries have doubled, utilities have almost doubled. Has your income doubled in that same amount of time?
June and I thought we would be able to retire in modest comfort, but that is not going to happen, not unless there are some changes made in Washington D.C. Did you know that up to 85% of Social Security is taxable? They are re-taxing the money that you gave them for your retirement. Let me tell you something else: the tax system engineered by Democrats going back to Mr. Roosevelt and the raw deal [for my generation] punishes married couples. You get mad, you get happy, you get whatever, but I am telling the truth. We have struggled to make ends meet this year and to ice the cake, they want 55% of the SS that June earned returned. Just a measly $4,400.00. I told her that we are going to have to divorce and just live together. It is the only legal way to beat the system. Not only do they penalize married couples; they penalize those who want to continue working.
Let me ask you a question. I have been paying in social security for over 40 years. I’ve never had a high income, but I would estimate that I have paid in around $100,000.00. Was I not told that this was my money for my retirement? Now I am told, that it is not my money if I make extra income besides MY social security. They penalize people who want to work.
June and I have 9 grandkids, how are we supposed to survive on SS? We can’t unless we give up ministry. The only way we could live on SS would be to stop going and stay at home. Sell one of the vehicles, not run the A/C, not give any assistance to those around us in need. I may have to live that way some day folks, I really don’t know, but I’m not going to do it until I am forced to by the circumstances. I am going to work as long as I can and pray that God will promote me when I can’t work.
I am sick of the federal government. I am tired of Big Brother interfering in my affairs. What I make is not the government’s business but Roosevelt and the Federal Income Tax system has made my business their business. I don’t need any assistance from the federal government. All I want from them is national defense and law and order. I don’t want them involved in welfare, education, health, housing, civil rights or even the postal system. They are incompetent at managing anything that was not assigned to them by the Constitution. If Alaska wants to protect their bears, so be it, but that is their decision, not the federal government’s. The federal government does not have ownership of the States, not really, but thanks to Honest Abe and all these liberal democrats of the last century and this, you would think that Obama owns Alaska. Patrick Henry saw all this coming and so did Robert E. Lee. States must retake their sovereignty. There is a vast difference between California and Alabama, praise God. This socialistic cookie cutter approach of making all the states a like is bologna. I don’t want Alabama to be like New York or California. I want to folks who like New York to move to New York. States should be distinct, unique with their own laws and systems. We have to get back to the sovereignty and uniqueness of the States. This is exactly what Patrick Henry did not want to happen. He feared the power of a federal head. He was a smart man.
Hellywood At It Again!
Posted: April 19, 2012 Filed under: Liberalism Leave a comment »
Former child star Kirk Cameron stirred controversy in Hollywood when he declared homosexuality to be “unnatural,” “detrimental” and “ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization” to gossip show host Piers Morgan.
I find nothing wrong with his statement. I think he was being very nice. Homosexuality is a perversion and it is highly destructive to those involved as well as culture as a whole. Homosexuality was the primary cause of the destruction of Sodom. It practically annihilated the tribe of Benjamin [Judges 19-20]. It was practiced by most of the pagan cults and stricken forbidden to the Israelites. Paul denounces homosexuality in Romans 1 as being depraved and perverted.
In response to Cameron’s comments, liberal Hellywooders got stirred up and created a video that makes fun of Cameron and raises money for the perverts. Of course we are not shocked that the media as a whole is taking Hellywoods side. Hellywood is not only filled with liberals, they are idiot liberals. Actually, I have never met an intelligent liberal.
WATCH: Cameron’s interview with Piers Morgan.
On “Fox & Friends,” Cameron stood by his original comments, calling out Morgan for bringing up the topic of gay marriage in the first place.
Kirk said on Fox and Friends…“When you’re sitting across the table from someone who knows what your perspective is on issues–and I’ve been very consistent, I don’t think anything I said surprised anybody as a Bible-believing Christian, But to then take some answers, reduce an important and personal and sensitive issue to a four-second sound bite and toss it into a community to start a political bonfire and really upset people who you’re saying that you’re looking to protect – I think is disingenuous.” I think its downright hypocritical Kirk and you are being nice. Hellywood and Washington is filled with hypocrites. If we ran all the hypocrites out of Congress, they would not have enough to have a quorum.
Kirk has a new Documentary out called MONUMENTAL. Go to demandmovie.com and ask them to show it in this area.
Politics, I am sick of it!
Posted: April 5, 2012 Filed under: Pro-life Leave a comment »Vance Havner use to say, “You can lay all the politicians in the world end to end and you wouldn’t have enough to reach a conclusion.” Congress approval rating is at an all time low. They are tied with Hugo Chavez at 9%. Congress is less popular than the IRS [46%], Nixon during Watergate [24%], the banking industry [23%], the oil and gas industry [22%], Paris Hilton [15%] and the American Communist Party at 11%. The only Person or entity with lower numbers is Fidel Castro at 5%. My question is how in thunder do they keep getting elected.
I pastor or attempt to pastor a traditional Baptist Church where everyone should believe that the bible is God’s word and that human life is sacred. Yet people accuse me of being politicial when I denounce a president who promotes and condones abortion. I intercepted some correspondence from one of our youth and they were telling their friend that their pastor did not believe you could be a Christian and support the killing of babies. That YOUTH had listened well. No one has yet been able to explain to me how a Christian can promote and support the taking of innocent life. I am not worried. No church member is going to show up on my door step. Anyone who knows anything about the bible knows that I am right. I am not the one being political: I am being biblical, those who call themselves Christians and yet get mealy mouth about abortion are the ones who are being political. They’ve sold their soul to some labor union or special interest. No child of God should support a president who believes that it is all right to terminate a life and not only a pregnancy but a child up to six weeks old. So folks, my mind is made up, I’ve been pro-life since the day that I understood what abortion involves. I am not compromising on this issue. I want to make converts but not at the expense of truth. Someone told the famous evangelist Billy Sunday that he was stroking the hair on the cats back the wrong way. He said, “The cat is headed for hell. If the cat will turn around, I’ll be stroking the fur the right way.”
Am I representing a minority? I think it is very possible. Jesus said “Narrow is the gate and few there be that find it.” I think the majority take the world’s point of view but no child of God should be allying with a world that hates Christ. You cannot be a friend of God and be a friend of the world at the same time. OCTOBER BABY is a great movie. It is laced with truth, the ugly truth about the abortion industry. I wish and I pray that Christians turn out in mass to see this great movie but that is not happening. I emailed every preacher I know [that I have their address]. We have got to get people to this movie. We’ve had in the neighborhood of 50 from DBC go see it which is better than most but not good enough, that is less than 10% of our membership. When Baptist refuse to support a very strong pro-life movie, what is the message? I think it indicates one of two things and both are depressing. We have Baptist who don’t give a hoot about the unborn and we have those who do not want to be confronted with truth because they intend to vote for Obama. I do wish they would come talk to me first but they will not. They are politically motivated not spiritually motivated. They don’t want to see scripture or talk about the truth because they are democrats because they have always been democrats. Wow, what brilliant logic. It like the story of the Baptist preacher trying to work the crowd into a frenzy. One man in the balcony was having no part of it. He would not clap, sing, stand or participate in any way. The preacher just stopped and pointed to him. “Why are you not participating?” He asked. The man said, “Because I am Catholic”. “Why are you catholic?” Asked the preacher. “Because my mother and daddy were Catholics,” he said. “Well,” said the preacher, “What if your mama and daddy had been idiots, what would that make you?” He said, “A Baptist, I guess”. My daddy was a member of a labor union. They had him fully convinced that all rich folks were evil and paid no taxes, that all Republicans were rich and that democrats cared about the poor and the working class. Right! And I am a rocket scientist. Thank God my daddy was man enough to admit that he had been wrong and before it was over, he voted for a Republican by the name of Guy Hunt. The democrats are socialist and they are taxing the working man to death. They also hate the constitution and the Republic. If they get their way, they will destroy the republic and replace it with a social democracy. I am not being political, I am being honest. I belong to no party. The democrats are left wing socialist and the republicans are mealy mouth whimps. I am not happy with either party. It’s these very folks who have sold their soul to a political party that accuse me of being political. What else can they say?
I reading through Ezekiel in the NRSV now and I just finished Jeremiah a few weeks ago. I am amazed at what these guy foresaw and whereas I am not in the same league, I do not see good things for American a part from repentance and spiritual awakening. Just the response to OCTOBER BABY is very disheartening. Someone produces a biblical correct, pro-life, pro-family movie with absolutely no violence, profanity or sex and Christian people stay home in mass. The Lord said through Ezekiel, “Repent and turn from all your transgressions: otherwise iniquity [perversion] will be your ruin….For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone [includes the unborn], says the LORD. Turn, then, and live.”
Pulling Up The Roots of The Republic?
Posted: April 3, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »“So now the Sovereign Lord asks: Will this vine grow and prosper? No! I will pull it up, roots and all! I will cut off its fruit and let its leaves wither and die. I will pull it up easily … it will not take an army to do it.” [Ezekiel 17:9, NLT]
When you pull a plant out of the soil, roots and all, it is just a matter of time before the entire plant withers and dies. A plant cannot survive when the root system is exposed to the heat of the sun. To destroy a nation, in our case a Republic, you do the same as with a plant, you destroy the roots. You damage the founding fathers, the moral principles that the Republic was built upon. I listened to some talk radio yesterday as June and I were coming home from Madison. It’s a conservative station but I am not hearing anything encouraging. I got angry just listening. This stirred my mind and I could not stop thinking about it. I am one of those “Angry White Males” that the lame stream media refers to in their commentary. I am going to say something that will make some of you none “Angry White Males” angry. This country could be straightened out within a decade if she only allowed the “Angry White Males” to vote. Before you get fighting mad: think about it. How many “Angry White Males” do you know who would vote for Obama? NONE! You don’t know any, not even one. So if it were left up to the Angry White Males, Obama would be history come November.
Unfortunately for our kids and grandkids, “Angry White Males” are a minority. A minority that Obama has never courted and does not intend to court. He can get elected without our support. He can get elected with us kicking and screaming. A few months back when things didn’t look good for Obama because the polls indicated that he was losing ground with women [white of course]. Blacks are block voters, they will all vote for Obama with rare exception and thank God for the exceptions but there are not enough to make a difference. To win the females, Obama created a debate over contraception. He staged the entire thing using the liberal media as his minions. He was hoping the Republicans would take the bait and they did. If there was an IDIOT award, it would have to go to the Republican Party. Here we are with the worse President in American History. Gas $5 a gallon and not jobs and the stupid Republicans are talking about contraception. Why? Because that is what Obama wants them to talk about. Obama is more dangerous to the destruction of our Republic than Bill Clinton ever thought about being. He is worse than Jimmy incompetent Carter or even Abraham The Imperialist Lincoln. Lincoln is our Solomon. He did to the United States what Solomon did to Judah. Lincolm is the bird that empowered the federal government and took away the sovereignty of the States which is exactly why we are in this present crisis. Now we here in conservative Alabama are at the mercy of New York and California. Thank you Mr. Lincoln for planting the seed that will ultimately destroy our beloved Republic. Obama is a legitimate threat to our freedom. He is pulling up the roots of our Republic. He doesn’t want a Republic. If you think I am wrong, ask him. If he is reelected, he will do far more damage in the next four years than we will ever be able to repair. When you pull the roots up, you are in trouble unless you get to them replanted in good soil in a hurry.
Folks, I am not kidding. I am not trying to be funny or popular. I am telling you the truth. This man is a threat to life as we know it and maybe to our existence. He has no appreciation for our founding fathers. He loathes our constitution. He lied when he took the oath of office. His goal is to destroy the constitution, not uphold it. He has never had the first intention of upholding the constitution and he has the help of the democratic party and the media. Talk about jokes, the media is a joke. Of course Nazi Pelosi, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are jokes as well but they keep getting re-elected so I guess the joke is on us. [Barney did retire]
Let me ask you a question: who employs more people in Danville than anyone else? Would you believe it if I told you that it is an “Angry White Male”. Matter of fact, I cannot think of a small business that employs a dozen or more people that is not headed by an “Angry White Male”. Obama is not the only politician that has written us off, Governor Bentley is doing a pretty good job himself. He will not respond to our email. He will not call off his Tax Collectors who are hurting the working class and crippling small business. I see his DOT hounds on the interstate every time I get on it. I’m think, “What do these people have for brains, scrambled eggs?” It is unbelievable. I would venture to bet that half the small businesses in Alabama involve trucking. These guys are already paying $5 per gallon for fuel and yet our brilliant leaders in Montgomery cannot resist the temptation of fining them $700 for being two pounds over weight or having a busted tail light. Yes, it does make me angry. Our leaders are not leading. They are betraying the working class of America. By the way, do you know and “Angry White Male” on welfare? I didn’t think so.
I am hoping and praying that talk radio is wrong: they say that New York and California are hopeless, that Obama has them in his pocket no matter what he does. I thought the high gas prices would wake folks up but that is not going to happen evidently. What would it take to get this country to see what they are doing. We are literally voting for our own destruction. Perhaps it is all God’s will and this is the first phase of our judgment. I’ll tell you this much, it will not be pleasant. What if Obama betrays Israel? If reelected he will and what are we going to do then? Move to Galilee. It would be the thing to do if we could afford it but we will not have the money to do it. Obama doesn’t care any more for Israel than he does we “Angry White Males”. You talk about feeling disenfranchised, we “Angry White Males” should be in the streets protesting but we can’t, we have to work, to pay the taxes that Obama keeps raising on a segment of the population that he despises. I think I probably speak for all the “Angry White Males”, thank you folks for electing this Republic hating, Islam loving racist who despises ANGRY WHITE MALES and has vowed to destroy us. Thank you folks for making our lives difficult as we struggle to pay the taxes that you will get through the mail in the form of an entitlement. None of this would not be happening if you had not voted for this clown. Thank you very much Obama supporters.
October Baby
Posted: March 28, 2012 Filed under: Movie Review, October Baby, Pro-life Leave a comment »This review comes from Dr. James Dobson’s web site pluggedub.com
It is a pro-life movie with no bad language and the only place it can be seen locally is in Huntsville. Theaters and in Decatur and Cullman would not show the movie because it has a strong pro-life message. It is coming to Bridge Street in Huntsville. Check with Joe David for more information. We need to support this movie. I’d love to see it become a box office smash so be sure and pass the word. No bad language and no violence. For the full review click on this link http://search.pluggedin.com/movies/intheaters/october-baby.aspx
We begin with college freshman Hannah Lawson collapsing onstage. But that’s not what happens first.
Hannah has been battling a host of physical problems for years—including epileptic seizures and asthma. She’s had multiple surgeries on her malformed hips. But she thought she’d beaten all that. She’s a budding actress, and she’s landed the lead role in her college’s spring production.
Her collapse makes it clear that her past still haunts her. And not just physically. “I feel dead inside,” she confesses in her journal. “I have so many unanswered questions. … Something is missing. Why, God, do I feel unwanted? Why do I feel I have no right to exist?”
And so her parents decide it’s time tell her the truth: Not only was Hannah adopted, but she was born prematurely at 24 weeks. There’s more. Hannah’s birth was itself the unexpected outcome of a “failed” abortion. As for her myriad chronic ailments, well, all of them are tied to that trauma.
The news rocks Hannah’s identity even as it begins, perhaps, to explain why she feels so hollow. But now she wants to know more. Who was her birth mother? Hannah wonders. And why didn’t she want me?
Hannah asks to see her birth certificate. Dad, who’s struggling mightily to let his beloved daughter grow up, says no. But Mom relents, and Hannah learns that she was born in Mobile, Ala., some 12 hours away. She can’t help but wonder if other clues about her past might be unearthed if she could just get there.
Time for a road trip. Against her father’s wishes, she tags along with lifelong friend Jason, his girlfriend, Alanna, and a few other college friends who are headed south for spring break. She’s determined to uncover her own secrets. To soothe her own pain. She dares not even think about self-acceptance or forgiveness.
Liberalism
Posted: March 24, 2012 Filed under: Liberalism Leave a comment »There is no good definition of ‘liberalism’ but keep in mind that is the antithesis of conservatism. The only time that I find it in an acceptable context is in the area of giving. It is the one area where the great majority of liberals are not liberal. The Kennedy’s never gave millions to the poor, their idea was to take money from the tax payers and give that to the poor. I think this is typical liberal behavior. A conservative want to hallow, guard, protect and preserve the things that are fundamentally sound, the things that work where as the liberals want to try something new, something theoretical. Liberals are not concerned about real history, it doesn’t favor them so they have taken it upon themselves, at least the ones here in the USA, to rewrite history so that it does favor their cause or agenda. Why are kids in public schools taught from kindergarten that we live in a democracy? Why do we teach them that George Washington was average at best and unfaithful to his wife and that Lincoln saved the Union. Of course the real “Great President” was John F. Kennedy, never mind that he had multiple affairs, that only applies to conservatives. The liberals believe that perception is reality and all they have to do to change reality is change the public perception. This is not new, it may not have started with Woodrow Wilson but it came to the surface when he was president. He was very unsuccessful but they didn’t throw in the towel, they made huge strides in the 1930 with the likes of John Dewey. I cannot say for sure when they got control of the school circulum but it had to be in the 40′s or 50′s because I was never taught in a public school that we live in a REPUBLIC. Every teacher I had idolized Abraham Lincoln and not one of them ever mentioned his total disregard for the CONSTITUTION or the Sovereignty of the States. Lincoln sacrifice 620 thousand lives to ensure the power of federalism, the very thing that our founding fathers feared most. Practically every problem we face today can be traced back to Lincoln. When the 13 American colonies united together, it was for one purpose, to defend themselves against the enemy. Every State that joined the union did so out of freedom and there is nothing in the Constitution that forbids them from suceeding. Had that been true, they would never have joined in the first place. West Virginia is an illegal State. If the constitution had been followed, it would not exist. In terms of nobility, Robert E. Lee was ten times the man of Lincoln but he is villianized and Lincoln is idolized. Robert E. Lee said that the Civil War was not over slavery. Do you believe him or liberal text books who have basically rewritten American History. By the way, slavery is not a racial issue, it is a moral issue. Slavery at one time or another has effected every ethnic group on the planet. The Jews were slaves in Egypt. Furthermore, if liberals want to do something about slavery, why don’t they stop what is going on in the Sudan? I am rambling, let me get to the point.

LIBERALS ARE IDEOLOGS: they are trying to implement a pipe dream. I think they may have gotten the dream while they were smoking heroin or crack. They have these utopia visions of a heaven here on earth but of course their heaven does not include Jesus. It doesn’t even include the Ten Commandments. In other words, these mentally challenged morons are willing to destroy a perfectly good constitution and a sound republic so they can replace it with a “Social Democracy” which by the way has never worked. Of course it will be different this time with brilliant minds like Barrack and Michelle leading the new revolution. You see Obama is more intelligent than Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and the likes. The constitution is antiquated and besides it mentions nothing about the injustice of slavery. It doesn’t mention Abortion either but that doesn’t make it a bad constitution.

LIBERALS ARE INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST or in Clinton’s case, totally dishonest. First of all, they rant and rave about the poor but they give practically nothing to charity or to the poor. They are totally against an form of “Intolerance”. Christians, we must tolerate baby killing, homosexuality, etc. but they [Liberals] are totally intolerant of us. Adrian Rogers use to say, “The only sin to a liberal is to call sin a sin.” Liberals despise people like me. Folks like me don’t stand a chance in a liberal world…I am from the South, I am a homophobe, I believe the Bible, I think Jesus is the answer, that abortion is murder and that they are wrong. Where will I fit in? I’ll tell you where they will put me–in prison.

LIBERALS ARE IMMORAL. Not only do they believe that they can change reality by changing perception, they think that they can write their own version of the commandments. When Eve was standing there by the tree chatting with you know who, her temptation was not to have sex with the devil, he has no capacity for such. He tempted her to make her own decisions about right and wrong without God’s interference. Basically, he said to Eve, “You don’t need God to tell you right from wrong. You are intelligent. You can decide for yourself.” The modern liberal has followed Eve. They don’t need God telling them what is right or wrong. They are capable of deciding for themselves. Yeah right, they are as full of stuffing as a Christmas Turkey. A lie is not a lie to a liberal. It is not even a bad thing so long as the goal is achieved. The MEDIA which is controlled by liberals is one big PROPAGANDA machine. Let me tell you how to detect when they are lying, when they open their mouth.

LIBERALS ARE IDIOTS. I have tried to be nice but I don’t know any other way to say it–liberals are not that intelligent. Poor old Jimmy Carter is just an idiot. He actually believes that liberalism will work. He really thinks that you can put a pot-smoking, beer-drinking, check-drawing, church-hating red neck in a new house and his life will be radically changed. Suddenly, he is going to have a desire to give up his pot, get off his butt and mow a yard or paint the trim. Give me a break Jimmy! Will you idiots wake up and smell the bitter weeds. He don’t want a house to keep up, he doesn’t want a yard to mow and he doesn’t want a job if he can get by without one. He wants his life style Jimmy. By the way, thank you Jimmy for Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. Thanks to you everyone’s house is worth 30% less than it was 10 years ago. I am not that intelligent but I would like to debate Al Gore on national TV. This is the man who said, “Our planet has a fever”. First of all Al with the brains of a bird, it is not “Our” planet. The earth is the LORD’s Al and it doesn’t not have a fever. How did this boy graduate Harvard? I can think of only two ways: His dad bought them off or he cheated. What about Joe Biden, he would make a good poster boy for Liberal Intellectualism.

Hey, I am enjoying this a little too much. The main point is that LIBERALISM IS DESTRUCTIVE. It will destroy a nation in a heartbeat. Liberalism does not work in government or church. It destroys the framework and the fabric that holds everything together. It literally breaks my heart that people don’t understand what is going on. The democrats are trying to destroy the constitution which is our foundation. Once they achieve their goal, we are going to see a mess. Liberals don’t believe in guns but they do believe in revolution and they think that they have something better than our present constitution. Go back and read the history of the FRENCH REVOLUTION and see if they got something better. They got a reign of terror. Our forefathers did not want a king or a dictator because they are prone to tyranny. I would not even want Washington, Jefferson, Adams or Reagan to be our dictator and they were good men. How would you like to live under the tyranny of an Obama or the Stupidity of a Carter or the incompetence of a Biden or Gore. Thank you very much but I am in favor of conserving the REPUBLIC and I pray with all my heart that the American people make the right decision this fall. I have to be honest, I am worried. This man should never have been elected in the first place.
