Julia Howe rose at the first light of day one morning in 1861 to pen the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, seeing the shape of patriotism without form and grace, and by her gift of poetry and pentameter she gave the soldiers’ a picture of a more directed and noble sentiment. After a half million lives were offered up to abolish the curse of slavery now 300 million Americans are on the brink of slavery once again.

Susan Rice, President Obama’s National Security Advisor, told TV talk show host Charlie Rose that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech before Congress about Iran is “destructive” to the relationship between the United States and Israel. So who is Susan Rice to be hitting the media and defining the nature of relations between the United States and it’s principle friend and ally in the Middle East – the only free nation in that part of the world?

Today, there are: 1,500 newspapers, 1,100 magazines, 9,000 radio stations, 2,400 publishers.
All of these are owned and operated by only 6 corporations. Often, we see people who are put in front of our faces as being just and upright. However, when you pull the curtain back, you find that the opposite is true.

Call me traditional, but anyone who would lie or grossly misrepresent themselves to meet a woman, get a job, or say, be elected president of the United States of America, is beyond educating. Moralizing and punishment is futile, these have reached sociopath status.

If we ignore what we know due to political correctness, how will it ever be possible to do what needs to be done? If we refuse to name something, does that mean it isn’t what it claims to be? There are none so blind as those who will not see, and when the blind follow the blind they both end up in the ditch.

Is calling people names a sin? If so, then does that make Jesus a sinner? He called people “vipers, hypocrites, whited sepulchers, a child of hell, fools, serpents…” If Jesus was all about love, why did He use such harsh language when speaking to “sinners?” If Jesus “loves the sinner but hates the sin”, why is it that He casts the sinner into the lake of fire instead of merely the sin? Souls go to hell, not sin.

Lying has been making the headlines the past several weeks. We’ve seen NBC anchor Brian Williams suspended for lying about a wartime story as well as lying in a Hurricane Katrina report. How about the Imposter’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, admits in a new book that Obama lied all along during his first-term election campaign about his position on sodomite un-marriage. He was for it all along, but lied to get black Christians to vote for him (which by the way they did in droves).
