Good or Evil

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Thursday, September 27, 2007 3:21:48 PM
   The upcoming election will show whether the nation is ready for socialism, pacifism, and isolationism.  One then must ask themselves, can goodness come out of this policy nationally?  Has the Government made our citizens Dependents and made them expect that the producers in our society must, have to, are mandated to support all the non-productive. And I am not talking about physically and mentally crippled people. Is the Welfare State moral? Is a State which will not protect its citizens internationally, domestically and especially centered on our national security, good and moral?  I don't think so. The Constitution promises that the President's first priority is to protect the USA from internationally horrors and warfare. It does not promise that our citizens must take care of everyone who yells for that support. And please don't raise the spectre of the separation of church and state. We now know that even Jefferson knew that religion was important to national integrity as did Franklin,Washington, Hamilton, and Madison. Individuals can and must do good to keep our nation free. That does not mean that our citizens should be forced into a failed series of socialist policies that have never worked round the globe.  It does mean that we should stand up for freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which does not mean government mandates to make everyone equally mediocre!  Mandated taxes for weird laws are not done for liberty. Gas taxes, global warming taxes, taxes on SS, are not done to give freedom to the poor and middle class tax payers. Today, the old phrase, that government which governs least, governs best is still the  best way to initiate personal liberties,opportunities, and achievements.

The Iranian Hitler

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Friday, September 21, 2007 6:56:24 PM
 Well, the elites in our university campuses have just ignored any moral or ethical reality with Columbia's decision to allow the Iranian thug, the Hitler of our day , into an American university to rail on American foreign policy. They hate Bush and the military. So do Chavez, Castro, and now this Iranian IED provider to Al Queda murderers  in Iraq  who comes here to give the Left here in America some suasion. Can you believe that? The Thug-Hitler denies the Holocaust. He is coming to blaspheme at the UN.  But, no Leftist Lout has blasted this punk. Not one. He hates Israel and wants it nuked. But, no one speaks out. Not one Leftist so called intellectual. Not one . Not the Media, not students, not Democrat politicians. Not the so called Liberal Christian Church. No, no, tolerance is needed we hear. Would anyone have invited Hitler or Tojo to appear on 60 Minutes if that existed in 1941? Of course not unless they were of the American Bund. Liberals,naturally would have invited Uncle Joe Stalin, Mao, Ho or any Lefty because they were not Nazis. Nope. But, after the WAR, they were worse!! Those 3 killed more people than Hitler or the Japanese making them look like pikers in murder. Any liberal outrage at the Commies? Nope. And today, the Iranian thug is the darling of the Left, though they would never say it outloud. They just want Bush and America to feel, feel, feel uncomfortable. That those Leftists don't feel uncomfortable is proof of their moral vacuity.

Socialist morality?

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Monday, September 17, 2007 4:42:44 PM
 There is a great article on townhall.com by Frank Pastore on so-called Christian liberalism.  The fact is that liberalism has much to say on socialism, pacifism, Govt. control, but not much reality on Biblical or Jesus' statements on salvation, grace, sin, forgiveness, the Incarnation and how one treats fellow humans. Oh, yes, there are liberal policies and trends about poverty, health care like Clinton's agenda today in Iowa, the poor et al.  Still, one realizes if one is honest that liberal Christians speak little of the Sovereignty of the Lord Jesus as the only saviour and creator and arbiter of humanity's eternal life based on faith and motivations and on Jesus' blood sacrifice alone. They speak alot of how ugly conservatives, Christians on the Right are and how the Right's morality is too much based on sins of the flesh. And then they make the charge that conservative Christians do little for social justice.  Actually, that is a lie. Conservative Christians give more to missions, more to charity, more to the poor, more to foreign national problems then do liberals. The leftist Christian, if that is a real term, allows for the Govt. to initiate policies by mandatory agendas and laws. They call for pacifism in foreign policy.  One is hard put to see how those policies are mandated by Jesus and one cannot just pick and choose on what is sin to a Holy God.  Pacifism will not defeat Islamofascism.  Socialism will not bring people out of poverty or give them health care if history is any record of success.  The point is  that democracies, with free enterprise capitalism, almost always bring people even in poverty better care and rights and opportunities than any state sponsored socialist-fascist-communist government.  Real morality is not explained by systems which allow sin to exist just to get along as long as the policy is, 'all roads lead to God' and no one should judge anyone so let's give them everything even if all people , especially the middle class and the rich are taxed above 50-70 % of their legitimate income.  That is more than immoral socialism.  It is dictatorship!!

War and Peace

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Monday, September 10, 2007 2:35:17 PM
 We are now in the season where a political party is playing not only Commander in Chief, but our generals in the field. They are using their surrogates like Kos, and Moveon.org calling Bush and Petraeus liars and losers. We used to think that when America was at war, morally, both parties supported our commander in chief and our military. WWII, perhaps was the last war in which this has occured. Since then, one political party has actually favored our enemies during the Cold War, the Castro brutality, the Chi-Coms, the North Viet Namese, favoring the Sandinistas et al and now, calling for a surrender to the Islamofascists. Frankly, this is shameless , shameful, and treasonous. Christians may be divided on peace and war. But, surely, as citizens, when in a war, we should be behind our military and we should after 9/11 realize that we are in a generational battle against Islamofascism as shown by Iran, Hamas, Al Queda, Syria, and all the other jihadists who want a Caliphate set up as it had been 1300 years before.  As a non-pacifist Christian, I know that this world is in a huge cultural-religious-ideological battle where one side will win and one will lose. To appease them is suicide.  Now, it is true that many Christians think we are in the End Times. So some actually just wait and see if Jesus will come and deal with this mess.  Yes,, maybe. But, as we wait, we still have the responsibility to protect the Church, our nation, liberty, freedom and attacked people from this Islamofascist horror. Pray , yes, but my friends, we must also act and not like traitors from the past where defeat would have doomed a whole culture.

A time of melancholy

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Tuesday, September 04, 2007 2:38:35 PM
Many Christians nowadays are yearning for the Second Coming. Especially those who are politically involved. What a time it is when American voters who are Christians, are perhaps spiritual and want the nation to reflect their morality and decency and yet the scenario presented today is that a Party that applauds perverts, is more interested in the criminal rights than the victims, is in favor of Gay rights rather than traditional standards, that is a mixture of socialist pacifists which American used to condemn, is now the Party that seems deigned to win the 2008 election. It is not a Party of God. It is a party of humanist socialist secularists yet traditional Americas seem willing now to throw over all past moral, historical , Constitutional and democratic-capitalistic views for a socialist vision of the Government taking care of us from the cradle to the grave. No wonder so many religious people who are Biblical are fleeing to the vision of a Second Coming, a Rapture, the coming of Jesus to settle all these problems which are threatening to overthrow our entire structure. American voters in general do not seemingly see this end of the American Century or the end of our democratic-capitalistic Constitutional system. It seems personal security is more important to them than national security. And they believe it getting back at the middle class or rich so they can have what they see in advertizing. Melancholy. You bet there is and I feel it too. I am a big believer in Christians being involved in society and fighting for good, justice, fairness, morals, and individual rights. I don't sit and meditate on my navel and then pray that God will come and relieve us from our responsibilities. I know Jesus is coming back and I too yearn for it. But, I do not do it out of desparation or giving up on life. God has blessed us with LIFE. We are to make the best of it and sharing the Good News of Jesus to live in the here and now as well as eternity. And when I see evil winning on all levels of life, one is tempted to shuck it all, cave in and sit behind walled communities until Jesus does indeed come. But, suppose He doesn't come for generations, decades, millenica? Then what? Just let evil and horrors like Islamofascism win? Not me. And I pray not you who read this.

Morals

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Wednesday, August 29, 2007 3:43:55 PM
Well, here we go again. Morality in the Congress seems to punish the GOP but never the Democrats. The appalling double standard is amazing but one knows that the GOP refuses to ever pile on the corrupt Dems while the Dems will investigate any, any GOP sin till the cows come home. And of course, the media loves to punish the GOP even if they are gay! Oh perhaps Craig isn't gay. Or perhaps Foley was stupid. But, it is GOP voters themselves who punish their own. It is conservative GOPERS who drive out the bums from their own party. The Dems have never done that. Not with Hiss, not with Wilbur Mills, not with Jim Wright, not with Jefferson of Louisiana, not with Alcee Hastings of Fla., not with Bubba Clinton or Hillary for 8 years of corruption. Never.Frankly, I am sick and tired of the standards. Get rid of all corrupt pols is my stance and even Teddy Kennedy who killed a socialite. If a Pub Senator had gone out all night drinking with a socialist who was not his wife, the media would have crucified him. Kennedy, Franks, Studds goes on and on and the Dems never do anything to punish them. Never. Craig has to go. The Idaho Pubs have good people to replace him .  It is time to do it. But, for heaven's sakes, stop saying that Dems are pure. They have as much or more corruption in their Party than the Pubs do. But, as we now know after a generation , perversion seems to be forgiven by Dem Party leaders while the GOP gets rid of our perverts. The voter thinks only the GOP is really sinful. Baloney. The GOP will not attack the Dem bums. It is time for them to do so and rout out all the bums. Whether GOP or Dem. The perverts and crooks have to go from our Congress. We already have trouble with our Presidential candidates on both sides. Now more Asians who are corrupt are raising money for Hil and we have to have this Craig malarky facing us. No wonder that many Americans including religious people give up on our society. I will not because there are differences between the Parties. I know the difference and even with all the warts on both, the conservative Party is still best for America: morally, socially, culturally, domestically and in national security.

Is God around?

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Tuesday, August 21, 2007 1:59:38 PM
Well, CNN, the well known Clinton Newsnetwork, is presenting a special on God via Islam, Christianity, Judaism and all commented upon by that 'objective leftist' Christiana Amanpour. She has done other commentaries on Iraq and Afghanistan and boy she has not always been fair, that is for darn sure. The presentation will show all 3 religions are military, militant, proactive, radical and want to change culture all round the world. To listen to CNN, we find out that people are actually talking about God.  WOW. Really. Around the dining table? Yep. But, they should know that this has been going on for over 2000 years. What does CNN want to do here? Here it is. They want to show us that all 3 are just alike in their political agendas and not dealing with truth or justice. At least not from a Western liberal agenda understanding.  So CNN wants us to learn about God from them. Yipe. Can you imagine having to learn that Chris Hitchens will probably on telling us all that this presentation just proves his contention that God is not real and if He is, he is cruel and stupid. Yeah that will work for many people. And voters? Well they will be told that religion is now being used by these people just to get political power. See, we can trust secularists, humanists, liberals, because they 'just want to help people.' No agendas there! Good heavens. Where has CNN been all these years? Liberalism has been their religion. It has done more damage that any religion except Islamofascism. The old saw that Christianity killed millions is nonsense and cannot be proved with real stats. But, the lie is believed and this program will somehow tell us not to trust ANY OF THESE POLITICAL RELIGIONS.  Please do not watch this. You will be even more jaundiced that you are now about the objectivity of CNN and any commentator who thinks that their view of God is actually new and needed.

Insanity, voting, and looking for a larger TENT

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Wednesday, August 08, 2007 2:39:51 PM
 Well, here we have had already, many debates politically. But, I am amazed that the American voter over the last 70 years still seems to vote insanely since they keep getting the same result. Think about it. For nearly 70 years Labor, Hispanics, blacks, other ethnic communities and Liberals all, have voted Democrat thinking that that Party 'cared' for them. Yet here we are all those years later and they are still whining about the same things they whined about in the 1930's. They, in fact, have become more anti-military, more anti-American, and actually more anti-God though for election purposes we have liberal candidates actually begging evangelical conservative churches and pastors and congregations to vote for them! And what do they offer? The same old pacifist socialist agenda except now they say it is what Jesus would want for America. A nice theological twist that! Of course, the Republicans have had the Moral Majority for 27 years on their side but that is changing a bit. Yet, when one looks seriously at the Parties, there are huge differences even in moral views, values, worldview. Both parties want to expand their TENT. How far that goes will determine who wins in '08.  Will Republicans choose a guy who says abortion is choice, gays should be allowed in the Party and is willing to expand the Party's tent so he can perhaps win some Purple or Blue state? The Dems are trying to get morality voters with one woman telling us how her Methodist background and Billy Graham give her peace. What a real battle is going on! I have to say that as a pastor and history teacher I too have mixed feelings, thoughts and prayers on this election. But, I am also a conservative Christian. Frankly, I cannot see any socialist pacifist running this nation. Not one. But, then I don't want gross immorality to rule either.  Still, like Captain Kirk of Star Trek, I want to win. This upcoming election may well be the most complex, confusing, and important one since I began voting in 1960.

Dialogue???

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Monday, July 30, 2007 4:41:35 PM
 A few months ago, and even longer, some people in the USA and Canada tried to be human shields in the ongoing Iraqui war against Islamofascism. then the Mennonite MCC and other Mennonite churches tried a so called dialogue with the Iranian terrorists. Other people wrote articles about how we should use pacifism in our relations with Muslims. After all, we are told piously, we Americans are the real enemies of freedom, the cause of all the globe's ills including global warming and the use of too much energy! Ridiculous of course but leftists world wide and in the USA think this is the Gospel truth. Using the term Gospel, is silly when discussing liberalism but some of these types of so called Christians think we must have dialogue because it is America's fault that Iran is so upset with us and is building nuclear weapons! Now talking is often good in interpersonal problems as well as international problems but talking with nuts, talking with mass murderers is simply to me not very helpful. If the terrorist killers wish to stand down, stop building A-weapons, stop financing terrorism worldwide, or as Reagan said, Trust but verify, perhaps dialogue would then be possible. But not till then. Barak Obama and liberals, take note!

Solutions to problems

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 3:57:40 PM
  Look, it is time for people of ideas, agendas, morals, character in the Republican Party to come out swinging against domestic and foreign evil. It is time for them, because they claim that they have Christian conservatives-Evangelicals as about 40% of their foundation. It is time to stand up against evil by communicating this to the media, to the public, to even the Democrat Party. It is time for them to give solutions to our problems the way Newt and Reagan did in years past. In other words, explain clearly in such a way on 4-5 issues with answers not just perusings and not just nuances. Those issues have to include the WHY against Islamofascism in a generational war. Americans must face up to this enemy and realize why this war will not go away if we surrender in the Middle East. Another issue is tax cuts and the growth of our economy. Pubs must explain this. Another issue is the reformation of Social Security and Medicare. The WHY of this must be explained clearly and what the consequences will be if not fixed. Another issue is the problem of border protection and illegal immigration. The GOP must be humane but strong in defending our sovereignty not Mexico's or any other nation. The borders must be defended. Period. No more excuses.  There are also moral issues Republicans should support including freedom for home schooling even if it is religious home schooling. But, that means no, no , no Madrasses for Muslims. Not one should be allowed in this nation . Unfair? No because frankly, madrasses undermine civility and are centers for hate and terrorism. Republicans should stand up against the Fairness Doctrine and also should demand that McCain-Feingold be challenged. Note that abortion is not on this list. WHY? Because on all polls nationally, that subject is down to 10th place of priorities. That subject cannot be changed by a President. WHY bring it up to fracture the nation? When working on this evil, do it state by state and also challenge pols to appoint conservative jurists. That is the way to go. Build support for change and do not bring hate, challenges , and intolerance to the fray because the MSM will never give that point of view any cred. Step by step, issues like this will win the day for lessening this horror and the public will realize that abortion on demand is just convenience and a way of birth control and is now slowly changing minds as many polls show. Thus, take stands on 4-5 issues and blast the Dems on their pacifist socialist ways. Speak truth GOP and stop acting like liberals. That is not what the GOP has stood for since Reagan.  Give solutions to the problems stated above and be confident and optimistic and moral in doing so.

Opinion levers

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Sunday, July 22, 2007 11:07:03 PM
     Recently, a Christian Talk guy named Frank Pastore has written a good column that says Americans may be confused by leftist so called Christians who do not think radical Islam is as dangerous as some conservative Christians say it is. And more, who knows the truth and what really is good and evil? After all, America sells arms, supports.........you know the line and liberal churches now are saying that our government ethos and democratic free enterprise is not just so let us not judge. Well, here we go again. To make it worse, Frank writes, there is something called the 'emergent-emerging church ' which isn't your usual evangelical Biblical based church and it says that Islam is just misunderstood and Christianity has so many faults so let's all get along. For years, I have been writing, teaching and preaching that gutless Christianity cannot help free people to overcome the evil of Islamofascism. Europe is showing that. They already are lost and are inviting the Islamos in to take over their cultures without much of a real fight. Germany and France recently started to get worried and now that Blair is gone, England better get worried. To boot, much of Europe is so secular that it is ill equipped intellectually, morally, and Biblically as it had been eary in its  history to take on an evil , false , and misguided religion in the hands of really nasty murdering fanatics who are living in the 7th Century. Modern moderate Muslims are being overwhelmed with that evil and cannot compete either. Perhaps the real problem is Islam itself. Perhaps later on that one. But, many know that jihadist Islamofascism is really dirty and downright evil in its torture, ethos and its tactics such as blowing up people with other people including kids.  It does no good to just TSK, TSK it all under the Persian carpet! Like in WWII, there is a real enemy which must be defeated by real people and not coffee claches and seminars and marches. The sooner the real Christian Church, born again-Spirit filled men and women realize that, the sooner the real battle for freedom will be engaged. And I do mean right here in America. Though humans all face spiritual battles in other dimensions, this world is a dimension of flesh and blood and it is often spilled . Spilling it to defeat an evil and to secure freedom is one way Church people who are real believers will have to face. The secularists will always complain, whine and accuse just as they did Jesus. But, evil is real. And while it is demonically supported, we also know that there are times when real humans have to fight other real humans to defeat it. With the help of the real Biblical God, though sad in its contemplation, this war is just beginning and we all better realize it.

The God gap

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Friday, July 13, 2007 1:38:21 PM
 Today, in the NY Observer, lefty Joe Connason once again blasts religious Republicans, evangelicals, Christian TV as a bunch of hypocrites. He has some truth there but forgets the leftist so called Christians trying to close the GOD GAP that Time magazine has in its latest issue. Senator David Vitter of La. was caught in an immoral situation. Of course, in order to downgrade the Moral Majority who is still in the Republican Party, Joe and other leftist haters denigrate all Evangelicals for their sins. What gets me is that for 60 years, liberals have been downgrading Christians and telling us that America is a secular state and should stay that way. Meanwhile, the liberal Democrats have for years supported every immoral group, homosexual groups, porn shops, ACLU travesties, left wing dictators, alternative life styles with mixed genders-you name it, abortion on demand, any ethnic group criminal because of course we should not BE JUDGEMENTAL. Connason repeats charges that Evangelical Christians are judgemental and American voters should forget them and support those nice fair liberal politicians who are 'religious' too. Joe says the voters should distrust anyone on the Evangelical side who judges the religion of liberal Christians. Look, Joe. Forget the politics of it. There is no thing as liberal Christianity or conservative Christianity in the Bible. There are only real born again followers-disciples of Jesus. Unless a person has an inner transformation of his spirit, soul and mind, that person is not a Christian. Period. For leftist Joe to pile on Vitter is itself hypocritical. I have read Joe for years. He never has criticized any sins on the Left. Never. The moral issues of the Bible can be broken by so called liberals over and again, but you won't see Joe or other liberal writers or theologians denouncing them. To the Left, catching Clinton in a lie was not the problem. It was that people criticized a President who lied. To the Left, immorality never stopped them from supporting adultery, lying or any other sin. Now when a Christian on the political Right sins, oh boy, now it is time to hit them and prevent any judgemental attitudes from that side of the aisle. Sorry Joe. I will ask for grace, mercy, forgiveness for anyone IF I SEE REPENTANCE. THE SAME GOES FOR HOW JESUS LOOKS AT ALL SINNERS.  While we are at it Joe, how goes your life in Jesus? I am a sinner Joe and personally, I am up and down but at least I know I am a sinner forgiven by the blood and resurrection and Spirit of Jesus. How ' bout you Joe?

Is our future one of Surrender to Islamofascism, surrender to Socialism and is that Moral?

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 3:58:44 PM
    The future of our nation seems to be stumbling toward a new historical epoch in the next few years. It seems that our history is moving us toward a Surrender mentality in our war against Islamofascism and in the war in Iraq. And we seem Congressionally to be moving toward not only pacifism in our foreign policy which is suicidal but socialism in our tax systems, our health care, Medicare, Social Security is trending toward a far different society from our democratic republic and free enterprise system of our Founders. Is that moral? I think it is statist and could lead to an even more Fascist state that America's detractors think is extant in the Bush Administration today. Now the Judeo-Christian worldview and heritage does not give any one economic or political system a Star. Still, under its sway, America, the British Empire and others have had the above systems in part due to a huge emphasis on personal freedom and liberty. Something that the Bible avers. One is free in Christ and one is free under a system of freedom.  Oddly, the Bible also states that a final Government of the World will be a Sovereign King in Jesus but while that is not in this dimension today, with a shift toward a more totalitarian state, it may be closer than we think.  Also, as this nation is threatened by Islamofascism as we surrender in the Middle East, Israel falling apart, and the EU and UN gaining some stature, one might see all that prophecy that so many think is nutty actually coming true. We shall have to wait and see but for me, I hope we do not surrender in either our economic or political-foreign affairs areas. Personally, I love both the freedom of our American system and of my Lord and Savior.

Freedom, God, and Govt.

Posted by Phillyfanatic(KGK) on Thursday, July 05, 2007 4:38:08 PM
   This week is one to remember our 231 year history. It is one that should look at the people involved in our colonial history too. That would include ministers, lawyers, land owners, doctors, inventors, and military men who came from the farms and cities and manors of the rich.  They wrote, read, debated, and even sinned as they wrestled with freedom , war and peace, revolution, Britain, Parliament, the King, culture ties, economic views, slavery and states rights.  Can you imagine if pacifism ruled the day then? Can you imagine Rev. John Witherspoon telling Ameri can revolutionaries, that in order to win their Independence, they would have to lie down before the British soldiers and allowed themselves to be arrested??? Of course not.  Freedom is not won without struggles, sometimes death, sometimes compromises. On the 4th, my wife and I went to a Block Party with families we did not know just around the varied blocks . We talked about family, freedom, our own area.  Yet, afterwards, I really got inspired by watching two old movies about our Revolution. I watched The Howards of Virginia and 1776. Of course, there was movie poetic license. Still, the debates, the moves, the rhetoric, the tension, the love and the reliance on Providence(God) was very obvious.  There is a song in the film, 1776, ' Rum, Molasses, Slaves'. All should listen to that song when understanding the roilsome  battle getting Independence or freedom  way back when.  And oh, when liberals tell us that God has no interest in nations or that we have been blessed, please make them, force them, if need be, to read , watch, be inspired by the story of our Revolution and Independence.  God has  blessed this nation beyond any reason or understanding. His love for our people and struggles is amazing. One wonders if our national sins, our forgetting of His direction of all those people some 231 years ago, our drive to secular progressive ideology instead of our Judeo-Christian foundation and national forgetfulness of our roots. I pray not. But, one thing I do know, our youth needs to be educated about our freedoms , our Revolution, our sacrifices for freedom and our God. If they do not, we may become a footnote in world history.
