You are right in that many of the failed policies began way back and that both sides have shared in dividing our nation; neither party is cleared of guilt as the statue of socialism stands on two legs - the left and the right. IMHO though, the progressives have driven this country into economic ruin and social upheaval faster than the Republicans, so in that case they are more efficient at their injury to our great Constitution and free way of life! So what solution do you propose, good sir?? Do tell.

Mr. McIntire: Very astute of you. Thanks for sharing.

Mrs Lacey, as you know, I am a Bible-believing Christ follower, and not one to take lightly any word from God. Not to second guess the Lord, my thought would be that He would confirm these local prophecies with others in other parts of the country since this is a national - an American - event, perhaps even one with global consequences. I will keep this in the back of my mind, but for now, I cannot figure out why the One True God would want his pick allowing our children to learn about the fallacies of Islam.

Excellent question, SCZ! You might want to ask this of your friends who may still wish to vote for this man.

OC, altho' we do live in a fallen world whose evil all men have contributed to and we should work toward harmony, there will be no peace without the One Who Died for all to be saved, the Creator of all things, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Jesus Christ the Righteous. In man we have religion, but in Christ we have RELATIONSHIP with this God-King! In man there is hate and distrust, but in Christ there is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control - the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23a). These things are born out of true Christians, not those who "make there own interpretations and use religion to promote there self driven idiology," (sic) as you said. The difference of Christianity than all other religions is that our God was raised from the dead and came back to prove it. So this Jesus is Someone to be dealt with, either now, or later.

Thank you so much for commenting, Jolene. How has all this info about the Muslim indoctrination into the school curriculum influenced your opinion of the Governor?

In the words of fellow forum writers... (at canadafreepress.com/)

How about, instead of a Balanced Budget Amendment, the last insult from the Me Generation to their posterity--changing the Constitutional form of Government, lets have a "Return to Enumerated Powers Act" whereby ALL programs not falling within those Enumerated Powers are IMMEDIATELY turned over to the States where they belong, to do with as they will... No bailouts though. Let every knucklehead reap their own reward. (Sapient)

Is social security listed as an enumerated power of Congress? Is Medicare? Is Medicaid? Education? Job training? And so on for thousands of areas in which Congress makes laws and appropriates funds.

No! They are not listed as enumerated powers. Therefore, Congress has no authority to make laws re the same. So the programs are unconstitutional as outside the scope of the legislative powers granted to Congress by the Constitution.

The problem is with The People. They love social security. They love medicare. This is why I call upon the American People to repent of their desire to live at other peoples' expense; and to resume the noble character trait of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

If we were to become again a moral people, we would elect to Congress people who would follow Alexander Hamilton's words in Federalist Paper No. 81 (8th para) and impeach, try, convict and remove from the bench all federal judges who usurp power.

We are in big trouble. But the cause of the problem is with The People. WE became corrupt. WE must repent of our desire to have the government "take care of us"; WE must become mature responsible adults who manage our own lives - and take care of our own families.

It is a shame that the churches have been silent on this Great Moral Issue of Our Time. (Publius Huldah)

Yes, all the while stripping out references to Biblical teachings and values and how the Founders based our documents on Biblical foundations. They've purposely done what is wrong, just as is stated in
Romans 1:28-32...~~~~~

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. ~~~~~

Thank you for your cogent comments, Mike!

That is akin to the story in Daniel chapter 5 about King Belshazzar drinking from the consecrated goblets of the Jewish Temple and toasting to his gods of gold and silver and other man-made objects. Like the goblets, we Christ-followers are vessels that have been consecrated, set apart as holy by God for His use. He has anointed us & set His seal upon us, making us His (2 Cor. 1:21-22). Thus, since there is no god but YHWH, the I AM, is not the god of Islam a pagan god? The Babylonian king desecrated the holy vessels and the hand of God wrote his destruction on the wall. Should we, God's saints (holy ones) allow such desecration as well? We shall not become unholy or unclean by this act of disgrace to our Sovereign Lord.

You're exactly right, Mike, and this is only the latest example of BO's run on executive lawlessness. Where are Chuck Norris and Ted Nugent when you need 'em?? (The states really need to stand up and stick together...)
