Marxism 101

"For the last seven years we have had the highest corporate profit ever in American history...But it hasn't been shared, and that's the problem, because we have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it. They have an antipathy toward the means of redistributing wealth." --Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA)

Nerdful tribute

I found this poetic and nerdful tribute to the musical score-master John Williams; enjoyable!

From stone to silicon

The born-again experience is a wonderful reality.

But in the JCC Ecosystem we find that a subsequent experience involving the slow, tedious, sometimes wearisome process of sanctification must then take place. This is best handled through successive personal encounters with God. Each Believer is ultimately responsible for this in his own life.

Progressive steps are taken until, ultimately, the Believer becomes as smooth as silicon, perfect and complete in all the will of God; click on Colossians 4:12.

Californians--and how we live our lives

CALIFORNIANS ARE A CONSERVATIVE people, and conservative is how most of us live our lives.

My evidence? --two essential things: First, Californians defeated the homosexual lobby, and we codified that only marriage between a man and woman will be valid in the Golden State.

But we Californians also defeated two so-called green initiatives on the ballot. Prop 7 would have forced utility companies to produce 40% of their power by 2020, and even more by 2025--but our electric bills would still rise. Prop 10 would have put Californians in the hole for over $5 billion to fund alternative-fuel research--but we're already doing this research in the private sector.

Californians sent these 2 measures down in flames...

Proposition 7 Renewable Energy Generation
Yes 3,294,158 35.1%
NO 6,102,907 64.9%

Proposition 10 Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Yes 3,742,997 40.1%
NO 5,581,303 59.9%

Nation-wide, although Americans elected Barak Obama as president, America is still a conservative country, because for the most part, we Americans live our lives with a conservative world-view in regards to family, faith, and free-enterprise.

One for the history books

These United States have a new President-elect, Barak Obama. For a man who was not completely vetted by his party, Barak Obama nevertheless has won the big prize for his party. This therefore is one for the history books.

Last night was Obama's night. January 20th will be his coronation. He will be our new president. I was amazed at how quickly the electoral count had wrapped up.

And now, both conservatives and Republicans have a need for self-reflection, to take a hard look inside. Losers usually do.

Indeed for conservatives, we must continue to fight the good fight: fight every attempt by the government to take a man's wealth and redistribute it to another, fight the government's attempt to radicalize our Supreme Court, fight any attempt by government to restrict political (free) speech, fight any attempt to weaken our national defenses, in other words, fight for the best interests of our country.Barak Obama's election win may have been partially about the cult of personality. That's part of human nature. But more than that, people wanted change, --this was Obama's central thesis, and the American people decided to elect the agent of that change. It was not unlike the contest in 2000: here the American people also wanted change, and Al Gore was defeated by Gov. Geo W. Bush for president because people had had enough of Bill Clinton. It's for this historic reason that I'm not surprised at Obama's win yesterday.

But now, we will truly see what a President Obama believes, in the ways that he governs from America's executive branch.

But let's not forget that California, too, is huge player in social change. California proved that when it comes to marriage, there are not blue or red states. We Californians believe that the union of husband and wife is truly unique --and it was given special status in our law.

November 4, day of decision

I will never know how much it cost my founding fathers to secure my religious freedoms, --indeed all of my freedoms, for that matter.

Today voters will determine whether or not we hold fast to the legacy of liberty, or if we surrender it to the Left in this country --who are determined to take us down the road to socialism--the system that, once upon a time, our California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fled to make his way to America and her system of free enterprise.

Notwithstanding, the Jubilee deaconess and I know that with Providence we can prevail, regardless of who is elected on November 4.
