Ask The Questions That Liberals Fear!

“A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.” Francis Bacon

The Kennedy assassination has always fascinated me. I remember exactly where I stood when I got the word he had been shot. I was 15. I’ve read many books on the topic since that day in 1963. Personally, I think Oliver Stone’s film JFK was very accurate in his presentation of events and the people involved.

In the film, Kevin Costner played the role of Jim Garrison the District Attorney of Orleans Parrish in Louisiana. Garrison was investigating the JFK assassination. He led the prosecution of Clay Shaw, aka Clay Bertrand, the only person to be tried in the assassination of the President.

In an early scene in the film Garrison was pouring over the transcripts from the Warren Commission. He became agitated and began to complain out loud, “Ask the question. Ask the question!” Being a lawyer himself, he didn’t think the lawyers that conducted the Commission’s investigation asked the right questions. Something didn’t add up. Why didn’t they ask the right question?

This is a lesson we need to learn. We need to ask the right questions to the right people at the right time. The majority of the American people, for whatever reason, failed to do this in 2008. They are still not asking the right questions.

Why was it in 2008, that when Barrack Obama was running on a “Hope and Change” platform, few ever asked him what he meant by “hope and change” Well, it’s a little late, but we now know. The change has been drastic and devastating.

One man did ask some questions. Joe the Plumber became very visible, vocal, and got national attention by asking a couple of right questions. He asked candidate Obama about his taxing policies and how it would affect him and other men and women who owned a small business.

More people should have followed up Joe’s questions. They should have asked what Obama meant when he said he wanted to level the playing field and tax successful businesses so that he could supply funding or tax breaks to less successful businesses. I guess they are too small to fail. Isn’t this the opposite of what should happen in America? Shouldn’t those who can’t make it, get out of the way and do something else?

The last four years have produced a steady change away from capitalism and toward socialism. Right before Election Day in 2008, Obama said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America”. In Obama’s dictionary what does the word “transform” mean? Again, now we know.

Today, Obama’s slogan is “Forward.” Forward to where? The abyss? Bankruptcy? Maybe, a world government? He needs to answer the question. Someone needs to ask the question. Obama knows what he means, but do we know what he means? We didn’t know what he meant in 2008. We better know what he means in 2012.

Many years ago I had a meeting with Dr. D. James Kennedy, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, and popular national television pastor. On that visit I was looking over the library of books in his office. He had a copy of a volume titled, A Lexicon of Marxist-Leninist Semantics edited by Raymand S. Sleeper. I immediately ordered one.

A lot of the liberal lingo and code words are right from this book. Liberals speak one language, that sounds just like our conservative language, but it isn’t. They don’t mean the same things we do when we use the same words.

For example, in this lexicon you find the word “peace.” Now when Americans think about peace they think more in terms of leave us alone and we’ll leave you alone (détente), a relaxing of tensions. We heard the word détente a lot during the Cold War era.

Marxists have another definition of peace. They believe that peace can only be achieved when everything else that is opposed to communism is destroyed and only communism remains. Here is one short excerpt about peace from A Marxist-Leninist Lexicon,  “The working people of the Soviet Union are firmly aware of the fact that the final triumph of their peace aspirations is possible only when imperialism will be disarmed and defeated by the international proletariat (p. 203).”

I will submit for your consideration that the Democratic Party has been infiltrated and is currently dominated by Marxist ideology. This penetration of the party began to become evident as early as the 1980s.

Did you notice that the Communist Party USA isn’t running a Presidential candidate in this election? Why should they. They have Barrack Obama. In fact, they have endorsed Obama (http://www.wnd.com/2011/08/329449/) Does this make you nervous? I don’t recall reading this in the New York Times or seeing it on ABC News. What if the John Birch Society endorsed Romney, a front page story maybe?

We still have six weeks until we vote. Between now and then, please ask the questions. Liberals are afraid you will. Break the code and expose their agenda.

If you do your homework and decide that Obama is your man, then by all means vote for him. If you discover that he’s not, then vote for Romney. I implore you though, if you are a conservative, don’t be a purist and decide you can’t vote for either man. The fact is that if you do that, you might as well pull the lever for Obama. That will be the net effect. You may feel better for the moment, but your children won’t in years to come. They will suffer for it.

As I’ve said many times before no politician is going to save us. Some are much better than others. But, we only really have two choices in this election. We have to go for the best.

See you at the polls.

Those who read my articles know I love good quotations. Here are a few to ponder that help amplify my thoughts expressed here:

“Voters quickly forget what a man says.”  Richard M. Nixon

“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.”  William E. Simon

“He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.” Chinese Proverb

“A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.” Francis Bacon

Are You on The New America’s Hate List? (You probably are-Check and see)

Are You on The New America’s Hate List? (You probably are-Check and see)

Written on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 by Ralph Barker

You are on the current Hate List if you are:

White Male

Prolife

Heterosexual

Christian

Chick-fil-A customer (New on the list)

Patriot

Conservative

Tea Party Member (God forbid!)

Republican

Love the founding fathers

Believe in free enterprise

Believe in guns

Believe in freedom of speech (non liberal, of course)

(If you said yes to any of the above, you are in danger of being singled out as an enemy of modern American society. You are at risk. If you checked two or more update your passport. If you checked three or more you don’t want to know)

This is a new America. It is not the country I was born in. It is not the country it was four years ago. Almost none of the currently accepted principles of life, mores, or ethics, are the ones that built the country. This is tragic.

This once great nation that had its roots firmly embedded in a biblical worldview is now rejecting the same at all levels. In order to enjoy the full benefits and respect of being an American, people must now, not tolerate, but embrace evil. They must openly accept homosexuality, abortion, pornography, and blasphemy. It’s “un-American” to do otherwise. You will suffer in some form if you don’t raise your PC quotient. From God’s point of view to succumb to this cultural pressure is sin[i].

Not only does our society think we should embrace the bad (pronounced “evil”) things, we must also not verbalize support for anything traditional. This includes marriage between a man and a woman, heterosexual lifestyle, not killing our babies, and holding off on sex until married (Now that’s a prehistoric idea).

It’s pretty scary to think that Dan Cathy, COO of Chick-fil-A fell under vicious attack simply because he believes the Bible and God’s definition of marriage. He basically stated that he feared for America, that we deserved God’s judgment, and that he supported traditional marriage.

This apparently is a crime against humanity according to many. Mr. Cathy’s sentiments were enough to start a war of the words and the worldviews. We are still engaged over the furor that these remarks brought out from the far left. It also launched an overwhelming response from the right, especially Christians.

The Chick-fil-a battle may turn out to be one of those “shots heard around the world.” It is already leading to other battle lines being drawn and the intensification of the rhetoric. It is unbelievable that mayors of some major cities, like San Francisco, would condemn a private company because its COO holds traditional beliefs.

Wednesday, August 1^st was Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. Governor Mike Huckabee had proposed a special day to support Chick-fil-A and it quickly mushroomed into a national effort. Over 200,000 had signed the pledge on Facebook to participate on the 1st. The number of people who signed on was quite large in spite of the fact that the signup page mysteriously disappeared for twelve hours. Then, suddenly, “Poof” it reappeared.

When August 1^st arrived the nation wide support of Chick-fil-A was no less than incredible. Preliminary reports are that the company broke all sales records that day. Here in Ellijay, Georgia, where I live, the cars were lined up around the block and you could barely get in the door. This continued all day. It is noteworthy that some other fast food franchises, such as some of the individually owned Wendy’s, joined in support of Chick-fil-A at least until corporate told them to stop.

Dan Cathy has stirred the pot even though I don’t think that was on his mind at all when he made his comments. People on all sides of the issues are now heavily engaged in this war of the worldviews and this is a good thing. At least people are getting involved, but it can explode into violence or chaos. This would not be good for anyone.

We, I truly believe, are in danger of God’s judgment. Why shouldn’t He judge us? As a culture can we really claim that we are good?  Do we honor Him or His Word? No.

I agree with Dan Cathy when he said, “…that we are a prideful and arrogant nation for having the audacity to think we can redefine marriage from something other than that between a man and a woman, and may God have mercy on us all.”

[i] Sin, n. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. 1. The voluntary departure of a moral agent from a known rule of rectitude or duty, prescribed by God; any voluntary transgression of the divine law, or violation of a divine command; a wicked act; iniquity. Sin is either a positive act in which a known divine law is violated, or it is the voluntary neglect to obey a positive divine command, or a rule of duty clearly implied in such command. Sin comprehends not action only, but neglect of known duty, all evil thoughts purposes, words and desires, whatever is contrary to God’s commands or law. 1 John 3. Matt. 15. James 4. Sinner neither enjoy the pleasures of nor the peace of piety. Among divines, sin is original or actual. Actual sin, above defined, is the act of a moral agent in violating a known rule of duty. Original sin, as generally understood, is native depravity of heart to the divine will, that corruption of nature of deterioration of the moral character of man, which is supposed to be the effect of Adam’s apostasy; and which manifests itself in moral agents by positive act of disobedience to the divine will, or by the voluntary neglect to comply with the express commands of God, which require that we should love God with all the heart and soul and strength and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves. This native depravity or alienation of affections from God and his law, is supposed to be what the apostle calls the carnal mind or mindedness, which is enmity against God, and is therefore denominated sin or sinfulness. Unpardonable sin, or blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is supposed to be a malicious and obstinate rejection of Christ and the gospel plan of salvation, or a contemptuous resistance made to the influences and convictions of the Holy Spirit. Matt.12.
