American Values - President Coolidge addressed the Holy Name Society (Sep.21)


From: AmericanMinute.com Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 Subject: Holy Name Society addressed by President Coolidge
     On SEPTEMBER 21, 1924, America's 30th President, Calvin Coolidge, addressed the Holy Name Society in Washington, D.C., saying:  "The worst evil that could be inflicted upon the youth of the land would be to leave them without restraint and completely at the mercy of their own uncontrolled inclinations.  Under such conditions education would be impossible, and all orderly development intellectually or morally would be hopeless."     
     Calvin Coolidge continued: "The Declaration of Independence...claims...the ultimate source of authority by stating...they were... 'appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of' their 'intentions.'... The foundations of our independence and our Government rests upon basic religious convictions.  Back of the authority of our laws is the authority of the Supreme Judge of the World, to whom we still appeal."
     President Calvin Coolidge concluded: "It seems to me perfectly plain that the authority of law, the right to equality, liberty and property, under American institutions, have for their foundation reverence for God.  If we could imagine that to be swept away, these institutions of our American government could not long survive."

Rise of the State - Trading Constitutional Republic for Big Brother (Chuck Baldwin, 2003)R BIG BROTHER


Trading Constitutional Republic for Big Brother
By Pastor Chuck Baldwin, June 2, 2003, NewsWithViews.com

article source: http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin115.htm
Pastor Baldwin's articles archive: http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwina.htm
     The principle of limited federal authority is the bedrock principle upon which our government was created. America's founders envisioned a nation of strong, independent but united states, and a very limited and myopic central system.
     However, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, the vision of the Founding Fathers was destroyed. The principle of limited federal authority was cast aside and a nation preoccupied with unlimited federal power and authority took its place.
     As a result, we have lived under a European-style federal system for nearly a century and a half. America today has become the very kind of country that our forebears fought to break free from.
     Conservatives would have us believe that President Bush and the Republican Party are working to reverse the rush toward bigger and bigger government. They aren't. In fact, Bush and Company are putting the pedal to the metal when it comes to promoting a bigger-than-ever federal system. In fact, Bush has used the events of 9/11 to strip Americans of more liberties than any President during the 20th Century, including Bill Clinton or Franklin Roosevelt.
     For example, Bush has selectively suspended the right of habeas corpus, which means the right to know the charges one is being held under. Through his attorney general, Bush has also authorized using federal agencies to conduct searches and seizures without requiring them to first obtain proper warrants. This is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional!
     Furthermore, the Bush government now even has the power to investigate American citizens with absolutely no probable cause. Under Bush's policies, a citizen could even have his or her citizenship revoked if they were found to violate these newly enacted and loosely defined anti-terrorism laws.
     Obviously, you will not find these kinds of policies in the U.S. Constitution. They are right out of Orwell's "1984" and Hitler's Third Reich. But it doesn't stop there.
     Now, President Bush wants to give the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the National Security Agency the authority to demand personal and financial records of individual citizens. Beyond that, sources are reporting that private pressure groups are currently being organized to collect taxes for the IRS. They will be paid by commission, of course.
     Furthermore, bankers are already being told that beginning this fall all new customers will be subjected to a required background check which will be forwarded to the federal government. That's right! Your banker is soon to be a private snoop for the federal government.
     In addition, have you noticed all the check-points going up everywhere? One can hardly travel more than a few miles without finding himself in a long line where various and sundry police agencies probe and even search his or her person and property. If you look closely, you will notice that federal agents are included in practically every one of these random check-points. The old Communist command, "Show me your papers," has become a routine American demand.
     This administration is quickly turning what was once a constitutional republic into a federal police state. But what is worse is that the architect of this tyranny, President George W. Bush, seems to enjoy the support of the vast majority of Christian conservatives.
     It is extremely difficult to imagine how willingly we forfeited the fundamental principle of limited government upon the altar of pseudo-conservatism and disarming Christian rhetoric.      Yet, that is exactly what we seem to have done.

values - Bloomberg Bans Clergy for 9/11

From: ConservativeActionAlerts  Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 Subject: AUGUST 24: Bloomberg Bans Clergy for 9/11
Bloomberg's 9/11 Exclusion Spurs Outrage
by admin on August 24, 2011
     Religious leaders are calling on Mayor Michael Bloomberg to reverse course and offer clergy a role in the ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
     Rudy Washington, a deputy mayor in former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's administration, said he's outraged.  Mr. Washington organized an interfaith ceremony at Yankee Stadium shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
     "This is America, and to have a memorial service where there's no prayer, this appears to be insanity to me," said Mr. Washington, who has suffered severe medical problems connected to the time he spent at Ground Zero. "I feel like America has lost its way."
     City Hall officials, who are coordinating the ceremony, confirmed that spiritual leaders will not participate this year - just as has been the case during past events marking the anniversary.  The mayor has said he wants the upcoming event to strike a similar tone as previous ceremonies.
     "There are hundreds of important people that have offered to participate over the last nine years, but the focus remains on the families of the thousands who died on Sept. 11," said Evelyn Erskine, a mayoral spokeswoman.
     But the mayor's plans this year have drawn increased scrutiny and some disapproval, as the event will attract an international audience and President Barack Obama will attend.
     New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has publicly criticized the mayor about the list of speakers, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has quietly sought to play a larger role.
     But the exclusion of religious leaders has struck some as particularly glaring.
     City Council Member Fernando Cabrera, a pastor at New Life Outreach International, a Bronx church, said he is "utterly disappointed" and "shocked" by the event's absence of clergy.   When the terrorist attacks occurred, people in the city and nationwide turned to spiritual leaders for guidance, he said.

Values - "I'm 63 and I'm Tired" (by Robert A. Hall, "The Old Jarhead" 2009)

Per Snopes: correctly attributed. (http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/imtired.asp) -- rfh
From: tt Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Subject: I'm 63 and I'm Tired
"I'm 63 and I'm Tired"  
  by Robert A.  Hall, ("The Old Jarhead") Th.19Feb09
 
     I'm 63.  Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked hard since I was 18.   Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years.   I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am.  Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired.  Very tired. 
     I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.   I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. 
     I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes."  Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help.   But if they bought Mc Mansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money. 
     I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers.   In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela.
     I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. 
     I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S.   Senators from Illinois. 
     I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation.   I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government. 
     I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but thinks that Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.   Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?   Get a clue.   I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. 
     I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. 
     I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.   My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs.   We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live.  Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough. 
     I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do.   Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?   I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I sure think druggies chose to take drugs.   And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. 
     I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime.   What's next?   Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?   And, no, I'm not against Hispanics.   Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.   I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military....  Those are the citizens we need. 
     I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military.   They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves.   Do bad things happen in war?   You bet.   Do our troops sometimes misbehave?   Sure.   Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are?   Not even close.   So here's the deal.   I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt.  Col.  William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian.   Then we'll compare notes.   British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. 
     I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption.   Read the papers; bums are bipartisan.   And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship.   I live in Illinois, where the " Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years.   Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.   
    I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught.   I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.  
     Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor.  The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor."  The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. 
     I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions.   I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. 
     Yes, I'm tired.   But I'm also glad to be 63.   Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making.   I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.
