In Search of God's November Blessings

by Charles R Lewis

Let's take stock:

• We have a Republican House of Representatives that made a great show of "repealing" Obamacare 33 times - knowing the vote would be useless in the light of a Democrat Senate and White House.  But when it comes to something completely in their power that would stop the abomination in its tracks, they refuse to exercise their prerogative of defunding it (thanks, evidently, to the "leadership" of John Boehner).  One has to ask the question whether these guys are really on our side or just want us to think they are,

• We have a GOP candidate with a gubernatorial record - on same sex marriage, gun bans, government takeovers of health care, abortion, judicial appointments, ad nauseum - that's at least the equal of any Democrat's in terms of constitutional carnage.  Anyone who thinks we can expect a SCOTUS justice any better than, say, John Roberts, is in deep denial.

Speaking of Mitt Romney, just in the past few days alone he's stated that the likes of:

• The groundswell for freedom of speech and religion that led to the Chick-Fil-A Day record turnouts and

• Concerns about the indications of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration at the highest levels of the State Department

are "not part of [his] campaign,"

and confirmed his position that:

• The Boy Scouts should accept (can you spell "S-a-n-d-u-s-k-y?") gay adult scoutmasters.

And the latest polls show him trailing President Obama by 9 points, and dropping.

Maybe it's just me, but under the circumstances, it appears America needs a miracle from God to survive in any meaningful sense past 2012.  This is not rhetoric; I'm dead serious.

If we're going to get that blessing, are we going to achieve it by Christians casting cowardly votes, purely out fear, for an unrighteous candidate who's plunging in the polls and every day giving indications he doesn't want their votes?

In California this week, an unprecedented event is taking place when that state's American Independent Party decides on a candidate for its guaranteed ballot line.  Competing for the honor are all the most prominent conservative third party hopefuls, including the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode and America's Party's Tom Hoefling, plus several notable write-in hopefuls, including former Southern Baptist Convention VP Wiley Drake (no, "Leftertarian" Gary Johnson doesn't qualify).

The verdict will be issued on Sunday, August 12, 2012.  The victor will be in a position to consolidate support among third party patriots as no other candidate has ever been.

If I am a Christian in any sense beyond the sense in which electoral tackling dummies of the ilk of John McCain and Mitt Romney are "conservatives"...

If the word "faith," if my concept of a just and omnipotent Creator, has any definitive meaning in my life...

If I have the vision and the realistic grounding to read and interpret the graffiti as described above and elsewhere:

then I will back that candidate.  I urge, I beg,  I plead with fellow believers to do likewise.  And I pray to Jehovah that He accept our offering and act accordingly.

Handwriting on the Washington Wall

by Charles R Lewis


Earl Warren, Harry Blackmun, Warren Burger, William Brennan, John Harlan, Sandra Day O'Connor, David Souter. Lewis Powell, Potter Stewart. Charles Whittaker, John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, and now, most prominently, John Roberts: a list of the Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justices who have participated in 2½ generations of shredding of your Constitution and dissolution of your freedoms.  These wolves in sheep's clothing have given the left victories in every crucial case over a period of more than a half century.  And the close of the latest SCOTUS session underscored that the fix is still in.


If you go back as far as I do, you should have learned by now that, no matter who appointed whom, nothing substantially good is going to come out of America's usurping "highest of the three co-equal branches."  Even if you just go back to the recent Rehnquist Court, if you were paying attention you noticed that an assemblage where the GOP-appointees outnumbered the Dems 7-2 still consistently gave the left victory after victory - from Kelo vs New Haven, which gave local governments the ability to steal people's property and give it to others who would produce more tax revenues, to McCain-Feingold, which essentially outlawed free speech in electoral campaigns, to various anti-Christian rulings, the Court gave America's enemies pretty much exactly what they wanted, time after time.


At the prevailing ratio back then, the left needed three "crossovers," and got them in the persons of Souter, Stevens, and (taking turns, as if consciously to preserve their images as "centrists," all the while giving the statists 5-4 victories) either O'Connor or Kennedy.


Flashing to the present, Roberts has completed the conversion of America into a hardcore socialist dictatorship with his convoluted rubber stamping of what I call, "Robomacare," "Robamatax," or even "Robomneytax," in recognition of the inspiration for the plan, who gives America the most vexing presidential electoral "choice" yet.  And don't forget, Kennedy is still on the Court for whenever it's his turn once again to sell us out.


Something's wrong with this picture.  America is being "played."


Supposedly, Republican presidents weren't going to appoint any more Warrens or Souters.  With the goal posts already moved light years to the left of the Founding Fathers' playing field, it was crucial that the "mistake" not be made again.


Roberts, we were led to believe, had been thoroughly vetted and didn't have a Roe vs Wade, a Miranda, a school prayer ban, or a primary runoff prohibition (the one that, ironically, got both McCain and Romney - both despised by the party's conservative rank and file - nominated without winning majorities in individual states, thanks also to seemingly planted "conservatives" who divided that vote and refused to drop out even when it was clear their presence could only result in Mitt's nomination) in his (Roberts') deliberative psyche.


Right.  Even Ann Coulter (currently Romney's self appointed spinmeister) warned us about Roberts very early in his confirmation process.  Now Robomneytax, part of a string of rulings where America lost the farm thanks in large part to Roberts,  lets us know exactly where he - along with America's rationale for trust in Republican appointees - stands.


Beware a president with (D) or (R) after his name, Mitt Romney - who appointed only nine of his fellow Republicans among his thirty-six bench appointments as governor of Massachusetts - especially.


So vote Libertarian, right?  Yeah, for Gary Johnson, who'll push to legalize every drug through heroin, and is pro-abortion (though against the death penalty for serial murderer-rapists, etc), pro-gay marriage, pro-prostitution, pro-open borders (oops, I'm a Christian and a patriot).


Constitutionalist?  Even that party couldn't find anyone better this year than a guy (Virgil Goode) who's spent about as much of his political career as a (D) as as an (R).  He championed the toxic "Equal Rights Amendment" in its heyday, has voted for huge farm subsidies and race-based spoils, and said recently he'd cut defense and not touch entitlements.  No, thanks.


Once again, that leaves America's Party, at least as viable as the aforementioned two "third parties," and ideologically pure, with a rigid policy pledge that will hold all candidates' feet to the fire, on penalty of immediate withdrawal of support.  Tom Hoefling, longtime head of the Alan Keyes braintrust, is the candidate this time around, Keyes (the previous banner waver) having retired from elective politics.


There are a couple others - Wiley Drake and Laurie Roth - with similar issue positions (I can personally vouch for all three, but Hoefling has a big head start on the others in terms of ballot access and party apparatus, and figures to be on by far the most ballots).  Yes, it's a longshot, but America is far enough gone that a candidate like Hoefling, with ballot access very likely in the vast majority of states, appears well worth our consideration, especially if the voters therein ever wake up to Romney.


Romney - you remember him, the one with a lower gun rating than his Democrat gubernatorial opponent, the one who introduced socialized medicine on the state level, imposed gay propaganda on kindergarteners, caused Catholic Charities to be shut down for not adopting out orphans to sodomite couples, and promised he'd never interfere with "a woman's right to choose," the one whose reaction to the Obamnesty executive order was, essentially, to assert it didn't go far enough, the one who was the only Republican candidate absent from most of the "Values Voters" debates - is not the one to save an imperiled America.  No way no how.  


Fool you repeatedly, shame on you.


Desperate times call for desperate measures.  Ask yourself if a vote for McCain was worth it.  Ask if he even tried to win.  Ask yourself if Romney is in any sense a better candidate or even better on the issues than McCain, or, for that matter, Obama.


And, most importantly, ask yourself what your God would have you do.  And pray for America and your children and theirs.

It's just us and God now

by Charles Lewis

 

Brethren:

 

I need the kind of consolation now that only the Holy Father, our Creator, can give.

 

The latest polls show Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul 1-2-3 among Republican presidential contenders nationwide.  None of these three offers a viable alternative to Obama and his satanic collectivism, none, in my view, is sincere, and none would put up anything more than a token fight in the general election campaign - anymore than Dole or McCain did when they obligingly left the gloves on against Clinton and Obama respectively.

 

Romney had a lower NRA rating than his last communist (read "Massachusetts Democrat") opponent.

 

He buys into the man-made global warming scam.

 

He foisted "ObomneyCare" on his state, including mandatory abortion "benefits."

 

He rigorously and ruthlessly enforced his state's supreme court's outrageously unconstitutional decree (aimed at the legislature, not the governor) to institute sodomite "marriage," causing the arrest of any parent so much as requesting to be informed as to when his government-indoctrination-center-schooled kindergartener was about to be exposed to a unit in queer indoctrination.  His actions led to the closing of any adoption agency that refused to sentence orphans to a life of being raised by admitted perverts.

 

He led his state to financial disaster.

 

And so on down the list...

 

Perry mandated - by illlegal executive order - that all 11 and 12-year-old girls received injections of a drug specifically targeting sexually transmitted diseases (thereby sending them the clear message that if they weren't having sex at that tender age they were abnormal), a drug that has a history of causing severe side effects up to and including death.   Only a groundswell of public outrage prevented enforcement.  (Now he says he's "sorry" he didn't do the exact same thing, only through the legislature, and exhibits the nerve to characterize the abomination as "pro-life" advocacy).

 

He has a D- in immigration from Roy Beck's NumbersUSA, for a multitude of offenses, from opposing a border fence to giving taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition (in a package that included citizenship) to criminal alien invaders.

 

He appointed leftwing activist judges and sadbagged originalists.

 

Faithful Bilderberger globalist that he is, he tried to ram through the "Trans-Texas Corridor" (aka "NAFTA Superhighway") - a  highway system the width of several football fields, off-limits to everyday Americans and requiring the seizure of countless acres of homes, farms, and other private property, leading from Mexico (whose trucks would have unfettered access) to Canada. Only an obstinate legislature prevented this gargantuan atrocity, over his ferocious objections.

 

He doubled government spending in Texas; he sold off much of the state to foreign interests; he inundated it with fascist, cronyistic "public-private partnerships."

 

He's up to his neck in "No Chld Left Behind" and government controlled charter schools.

 

He refused to sign legislation banning intrusive TSA searches and peep shows in Texas.

 

He vetoed the bill in his state that would have remedied the eminent domain decision, and signed a "thought crimes" bill.

 

And he promotes himself as a true blue tea-party Christian conservative.

 

But Ron Paul (fresh off a runaway win in a GOP straw poll in the state of CaliGomorrah) is worse.  The other two convince people (people who should know better by now) that their (Perry's and Romney's) records and positions on the issues are in line with the principles of patriotic Americans, sincere Christians, and, ultimately, God, when nothing could be further from the truth.

 

That's reprehensible.  But they don't alter these folks' outlook on these issues themselves.

 

Ron Paul does.  He (with the help of several prominent adherents) transforms the very souls of erstwhile patriots.  He gets them applauding rhetoric they abhorred when it escaped the mouths of a Rosie O'Donnell, Charlie Sheen, or Barack Hussein Obama; he transforms arch-conservatives into at least partial flaming neo-libs.  The other two leave us unscathed spiritually, just smarting from being burned by the umpteenth fraud.  Paul destroys the nature of our beings.

 

To support this charlatan, one must embrace (read: "swallow whole") all of the following (and much more along similar lines):

 

- 9/11 was America's fault, for daring to place a few meagre obstacles in the path of islammunist world conquest.

 

- Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes, and Michele Bachmann are contemptible, worthy of political obliteration, while Dennis Kucinich, Barney Frank, Chuck Hagel, and Howard Stern are righteous viable allies.

 

- Israel, Poland, Colombia, Taiwan, and the like deserve no support from us in combatting the withering forces of international satanism, while Cuba, Vietnam, China, and Iran can and should be our buddies.

 

- Access to pornography, prostitution, narcotics from marijuana through heroin, and an openly gay "homophobe"-bashing military are on a level with God-given rights

 

- Drivers licenses for criminal aliens, and even open borders once we get our financial health in order, are sound policy.

 

Sound like Christian conservative constitutionalism to you?  Talk about a "fundamental transformation"...

 

And these three toxic pols are, apparently, the best we can do in terms of denying Obama a second, and terminal, term.

 

In a life-or-death election.

 

In a party supposedly wed to our founding principles.

 

Even with the great opportunity presented by the emergence of the tea party movement.

 

And the republic would be dead on arrival upon an Obama reelection.

 

Maybe it's because I'm old enough to have seen conservatives fall time and again for similar flim-flammery by demagogues who abruptly and eagerly stabbed them in the backs.   Whatever it is, it hurts beyond description.

 

I'm weary of being the little boy in "The Emperor's New Clothes" on these matters.

 

There's still God, but I don't see so much as a remnant of a remnant of a remnant worth saving - no "ten righteous men," not even one, in terms of the national stage.

 

And ignorance is no excuse.  We're talking about an alarming lack of spiritual discernment, this is indeed a spiritual dilemma.  How can there be an excuse when the stakes are of this magnitude?

 

I now see zero hope among viable GOP pretenders, and, by extension, zero hope for America.  There's God, of course, but at this point, with a citizenry hell-bent on self-destruction, what's in it for Him?

 

If tears could penetrate a computer keyboard, this document would be stained beyond legibility.
