Be strong and courageous and rise up!

The headline caught my eye:

 

Marines, White House sorry for Quran burnings

 

I read the article where it appears a mistake had been made and some Qurans were burned accidently.  A mob of angry protestors showed up at the military base in Afghanistan to demand retribution for this slap on their religion.

 

You can read the article here:

I was reminded of another incident of burning religious books and I wanted to share that article with you too. 

 

Military Burns Bibles   http://articles.cnn.com/2009-05-20/world/us.military.bibles.burned_...

 

 

After reading both articles, I thought about the irony that was displayed between these two religions.  People are killed and protests reign when a Quran is burned.  Christians silently pray for the man’s soul when he burns a Bible.

 

Yesterday Drudge portrayed Rick Santorum as a crazy religious extremists because he gave a speech about Satan in 2008.  You can read the article here:  http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3s.htm

 

Today another news outlet, The American Spectator, published an article about Ronald Reagan and Satan.  You can read the article here:  http://spectator.org/archives/2012/02/22/satan-and-santorum

 

There is a fight against Christians going on across the world and it is now showing up in America.  As a tea party member, I was ridiculed by the press and by politicians.  As a Conservative woman, I was ridiculed by the press and by politicians.  Now as a Christian, I am ridiculed by the press and by politicians.

 

Where will the ridicule come from next?  Who will be ridiculed next? 

 

I implore you to spread the word about the politicians and the media who are strategizing against We the People.  Please read this article:  Will this be Obama’s Watergate?  http://spectator.org/archives/2012/02/21/is-media-matters-obamas-wa...

 

I leave you with this scripture verse taken from the Bible of our founding fathers.  It is your call to be strong and courageous during these times of ridicule and manipulation.  Enjoy and claim this as your own!

 

Joshua 1:3-9
I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you ... No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.

Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

People are more aware of the exploits of this government and the FED. We do not except the answers we were given in the past. An attempt on Ron Pauls life would raise questions that would demand truthful answers and accounability of more than just the shooter. Ron and Ran Paul have been dedicated to the pretection of the constitution and the bill of rights there whole lives not just in the last four years. It is time that the government be held to the letter of the law even if it takes a rising up of the people. This is a country of laws and by our constitution no man stands above those laws. It does not matter if a man or organization commits a crime against the people of this county from within or from foreign shores they must be held accountable. It is time for the FED be audited and those within that organization be held responsible for their actions. I am sure that Dr.Paul is well aware of the risk he is taking speaking out against the FED. That in itself is a testiment to his character.

I believe if Ron Paul where President he will not be there long.  They will off him just like they did the others.  I fear for his life.  He needs to be in the presidents cabinet. 

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws." Mayer Amschel Rothschild

If it walks like a duck. I mean it is very strange that three out of the four Presidents that were shot or killed had one common link they all apposed giving up the gold standard and a federal reserve type banking system. And Ron Paul is nothing like Perot he has held public office for a long time and he has sponsored numerous bills and legislation to protect the constitution. Perot never held any political office. Ron Paul has carried the same message and predictions for decades and if you look back at his record most everything he says has happened and I did say most nobody is perfect one thing for sure is he is not a lier.

Jay, come on the FED is the biggest con ever played on the people of this country. That is until Obama was elected.

The reason the media is reporting on contraception is because these buffoons think they, through governmental intrusion, have the right to decide. Transvaginal ultrasounds and not a peep of outrage. That is small government. I have expressed support for Santorum, but he is crazy if he thinks he knows what is best for my family. BTW the Catholic church is okay paying for vasectomies and performing them in their hospitals.
It isn't the media's fault, these candidates love talking about this poo.
Any and all of them deserve whatever negative and embarrassing attention comes their way. No thanks to Big Brother telling me what my reproductive rights are. That is for China and the late Nickolai Caucescu.

I heard on the radio this morning that some economist had reviewed each of the republicans financial plans and the result was that all of them would fail to bring back the economy except one. They came to the conclusion that the only one that would actually work is Ron Pauls plan. Obamas plan was not evaluated but if you ask me his record for the past three and a half years speaks for itself. The media wants everyone to think that Dr. Paul is some kind of a nut and that his foreign policies are absurd. I say they can't be any worse than those we have now. Lets see Iraq failed, afganistan failing, 1st Greek bail out failed and now we are giving them more money. The definition of madness is to repeat the same failures time and time and time again how long do we keep electing the same mad men to lead us.

Roma although China, Russia, and our other foes remain a constant threat I am more concerned about what our own government is doing now. I think you and I have a lot of the same views on this matter. The thing is that I don't think a lot of people realize is that our government has the power and the ability to stay sovereign without all of these attacks on our civil liberty. But we cannot continue to be the money tree for every country in the world that gets in finacial trouble nor can we continue to pay countries to be our friends most of those we pay are not our friends anyway. The UN counties are the worst affenders they vote against us 90% of the time so why should we finance any of them. The Federal Reserve and the World bank and fiat money are our worst economic enemies fix those things and the economy will right itself. That and put people in office that refuse to be bought off by people that have everything to gain by selling us out which is almost everyone in Washington at present. If we are not successful in getting people off of their cans and to the polls we will lose America.

My friends as long as Jesus is in your heart and you keep your faith he will never leave you. Jesus said if you deny me before man I will deny you before my father. Rise up in your faith and speak out loudly against this government encroachment on your right to worship. Ministers should be speaking to their congregations of these matters even if the government says they can't. But at the sametime speak to the people you come in contact with about how important it is for them to get to the polls. Do not fall for the political smoke an mirrors that are being thrown out there. We all must do a little muti tasking. Billie thank you for reminding us to keep our eyes on the road. Witness for Jesus and stand up for your liberty. Ask and he will guide your way. God bless you and God bless America.

We have been taught to be tolerant, appreciate diversity, respect the culture of individuals.  Our schools, ubiquitous with "social justice," are full of young citizens that barely know what this country stands for or why it IS so exceptional.  Critical thinking has been replaced by the pablum of mediocrity.

This could not be more evident in the manner/context in which the media is spotlighting   Santorum's speech at a religious university.  If it is "crazy" to mention satan in a religious environment, where is the line between sane and crazy and WHO gets to decide?
