In 2010, the “Obamacare” health care reform law was passed without any serious public scrutiny of the 2000 plus pages. Remember that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told Members of Congress that they would learn what was in the bill after they voted for it. At first glance after it was passed, we thought the Democrats were gutting half a trillion dollars from Medicare. But after the GAO took a closer look, we saw a different picture.

It would be quite difficult in this day and age for many to be surprised by what the equality folk came up with this week as opposed to last. Looks like each group is trying to out-do the others in shocking the public for freedom to be “unrestrictedly” equal. The latest whine of victimhood involves women who believe they should be able to run around bare-chested because men can. Maybe they they were sick on anatomy day in school, but in case no one told them, male and female bodies are different.

God’s Word tells us about the famous atheist and prominent member of the church of evolution, Richard Dawkins. Of course, Dawkins is not mentioned by name, but the Lord speaks plainly about people like him throughout the Bible. In one example, King David declares in two separate Psalms, “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” By this definition of a fool, Richard Dawkins is certainly one, because he has made a big name for himself over the years by writing and speaking against the existence of God.

Abraham Lincoln thought that words mattered and that truth counted for something. Responding to a disputant in an argument, he is reported to have asked his opponent, “ How many legs would a dog have, if you call a tail a leg?” Answering his own riddle, he stated that the answer was four, “…because calling a leg a tail doesn’t make it a leg.” Words matter. Truth counts. Or do they in the postmodern age in which we live?

As hurricane “Isaac” is crawling along at 10 miles per hour on its way through the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. gulf region is bracing and preparing for a category 2 hurricane. The warning signs and the precise evidence and information of this coming hurricane are abundantly clear for all to see. Only now would a “nut” pretend that this hurricane is not real and be ill prepared to bunker down for this coming storm. Yet there is a far greater threat, with far greater devastation potential, looming unnoticed by most Americans.

If people cannot read, or if they simply will not, the safeguard of a democracy—an educated and informed citizenry—is in peril. The importance of an educated citizenry, as envisioned by the architects of the American scheme of government, is that they have the analytical and intellectual wherewithal to recognize and challenge the inevitable corruption of government.

At the Civil Rights March in Washington, D.C., AUGUST 28, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated: “I have a dream…where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.”
