How the Two
Major Parties Differ from the American Vision of
"Liberty Under
God":
- Liberty:
- Freedom from the initiation
of force by others, especially by the government.
- "The government" claims to possess a
morally legitimate monopoly of violence.
- The entity called "the government"
is the worst idea human beings have ever come up
with. The whole concept of "the
government" is evil.
www.Romans13.com
- "The Free Market"
works; Socialism
brings poverty and mass death
- "Under God"
- The Constitution:
-
The Free
Market:
- America's Founders spoke of America as "an Experiment
in Liberty" (1787-1887)
- The "experiment" was a success: a
Free Market made America the most prosperous
and admired nation in history. "Capitalism"
means freedom.
- In the 20th century, the experiment in liberty
was replaced with another experiment: an
experiment in central planning
- The original American dream of personal, private
ownership, has been replaced with private
indebtedness and public control.
- The
Invisible Hand of the Free Market works better
than the
Visible Fist of Government
- America was founded on the philosophy of "Liberty
Under God."
- "Liberty" means freedom
from government suppression of ideas and
confiscation/redistribution of wealth
- "Under
God" means we have a personal
responsibility to love God and
neighbor.
- The original American Dream:
Everyone dwelling safely under his own Vine
& Fig Tree
- America was founded as a "City
upon a Hill," a Christian
nation from which the Gospel would be promoted
around the world, and
the "blessings of
liberty" would cover the planet.
- There is a difference between "the
state" and "society."
Society = the people.
- Economics in One
Lesson:
- "From this aspect, therefore, the whole
of economics can be reduced to a single
lesson, and that lesson can be reduced to a
single sentence: The art of economics
consists in looking not merely at the
immediate but at the longer effects of any act
or policy; it consists in tracing the
consequences of that policy not merely for one
group but for all groups."
- Terrorism
- Why do they call The United States "The
Great Satan?"
-
The federal government bombs
Muslims
-
The federal government has
military bases in Muslim nations
-
The federal government
supports Israel's actions against
Palestinians
- These are the reasons given by Osama bin Laden
for declaring a "fatwah" (holy war)
against the U.S.
- All of these accusations are true.
- All of these government actions are contrary
to the Constitution.
- The biggest cause of terrorism
-- and the most dangerous threat to the personal
safety and security
of ordinary Americans like you and me -- is the
Federal Government of the United States.
- Conservative Muslims also hate the U.S.A.
because the U.S. is the world's largest exporter
of abortion, pornography,
and atheism.
- The federal government is no longer a City
upon a Hill, but an imperialist
empire.
- America's Founders envisioned the American
people, acting as businessmen, humanitarians,
and missionaries, engaging in commercial and
charitable activities around the world, bringing
peace and receiving the admiration of the world.
-
"The
great rule of conduct for us, in regard to
foreign nations is in extending our
commercial relations to have with them as
little political connection as
possible." — Washington,
Farewell Address (1796) [Washington’s
emphasis]
-
"I
deem [one of] the essential principles of
our government, and consequently [one] which
ought to shape its administration,…peace,
commerce, and honest friendship with all
nations, entangling alliances with
none." — Jefferson, First
Inaugural Address (1801)
- Today's government imposes isolationism
on the American people, by banning commerce and
cultural exchange with nations like Cuba,
while practicing brutal military imperialism
around the world.
- Bush's unconstitutional military invasion
of Iraq has destroyed
Christianity in that country.
- Under Saddam Hussein's secular government,
Christians in Iraq had greater freedom than
in most other Arab nations, and one of the
largest Christian populations in the Muslim
world was in Iraq.
- Iraq is now an Islamic theocracy under
Sharia law. The Christian population has
been destroyed. Christian Churches are
burned and terrorized with impunity. Thanks
be to Washington D.C.
- Obama is following in Bush's unconstitutional,
anti-Christian footsteps.
- The U.S. needs to take greater leadership in
avoiding nuclear
mass-murder.
- Is any war a "Just
War?" We must beat our "swords
into plowshares."
- The New World Order
- Socialized Medical Care
- Capitalism, not socialism,
creates higher quality health care for more
people, especially for the poor.
- Health care
reforms should decrease, not increase,
government involvement.
- No Government licensing
of doctors and other healthcare providers.
- No transformation of insurance into
welfare.
- Environmentalism
- A false
religion - worshiping
the creature rather than the Creator.
- Human beings have a higher priority than
wildlife.
- Dominion
- Human beings need a healthy environment --
obviously.
- "The State" is the greatest
destroyer of the environment, and limits
liability of polluters, to the detriment of
private property owners.
- Time for Revolution?
- "No Taxation Without Representation" -
a rallying cry of the American Revolution.
- Taxation is a relatively unimportant federal
revenue generator. The
fed now creates money out of thin air
- This money-creation system is immoral and
unconstitutional. It steals from the
poor and elderly.
- America's Founding Fathers would conclude that
The First Amendment had been repealed
- There is no freedom of religion: the U.S. is
officially atheistic.
- There is no freedom of the press: the media
is the lapdog of "the
Establishment."
- Everyone who signed the Constitution, if they
were here today, would urge the repeal of the
Constitution and the abolition
of the government created by that document.

“Why
Americans Should Celebrate Christmas 365
Days a Year”
The word "Christ" means
"King." The Message of Christmas and the
Principles set forth by the Christ (the Messiah) who came
that first Christmas are the real solution to America's
problems. The Federal Government is at war with Christmas
and "The
Way of Peace" announced by the Prince
of Peace. The Government should be on His
shoulders (Isaiah
9:6-7). Abolishing a
Messianic State is the only appropriate way to honor the
Messiah. Otherwise Christmas becomes mass hypocrisy.

he massacred all male babies the age of Jesus.
Herod recognized that Jesus was a threat to
Herod's power.
|
Every day in
America 4,000 unborn babies are murdered. These
babies must threaten something.
Millions of Americans who call themselves
Christians, on the other hand, are no threat to tyranny.
None of them are being killed. The Bush-Obama regime
has killed a thousand times more human beings than
Herod did, and confiscated a billion times more
wealth than Herod did.
|
- Matthew
28:18-20
- Herod's son Antipas played a small role in the
execution of Jesus Christ. But Jesus rose from
the dead, was enthroned on the throne of David
at the right hand of God, and assumed the
rightful role of King over all nations.

Theocracy and
Business
The Eighth Commandment ("Thou shalt not
steal") must be applied to every business and
corporation. All businesses must be
"Theocratic Businesses."
"Thou shalt not steal" means more
than not taking someone else's property. It also
requires the creation of wealth. We were
created to "exercise dominion
over the earth" (Genesis 1:26-28), to convert
a wilderness into a Garden-City by working.
Ephesians 4:28 Let him who stole steal no
longer, but rather let him labor, working with
his hands what is good, that he may have
something to give him who has need.
Proverbs 18:9 He who is slothful in his work
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

Questions
from previous Town Halls: |
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana Please comment on the
following statement: "God formed the family
government unit and it was "good." Man
formed the supra-familial civil government units
and they were "not good." God claims
sovereignty over them all." |
The first sentence is fairly obvious from the
first two chapter of Genesis.
The second sentence will be disputed by
non-anarchists. They will say that God, not man,
formed "supra-familial civil government
units," and they would say that they were
good, although man does not always follow
"The Owner's Manual."
Nearly all would agree in some sense with
the third sentence. So
the central question is: does God command human
beings to form "supra-familial civil
government units." Stated in a more pragmatic
way (rather than a normative way), would it be
sinful or sub-Biblical for a society to exist
without any "supra-familial civil government
units" at all. Do
we need "the government" do deliver our
Christmas cards and other ""first
class" mail? Could UPS or FedEx do the job
cheaper and faster? Then could we not abolish the USPS?
Is there any government agency that could not be
replaced by a more efficient network of competing
entities in a Free Market?
If the pragmatic answer is on the side of
free markets, where is there a Biblical command or
prohibition to the contrary? Where is Anarcho-Capitalism
prohibited in the Bible? Where is socialism
mandated? |
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana Why is capital
punishment no longer required by God? |
In
the Bible what we call "capital
punishment" was the ritual shedding of blood
to make atonement. Only Christ's blood can cleanse
the land, not the blood of any animal or the blood
of the criminal perpetrator. More.
See also "Holy
War." |
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana What, if any, is the
difference between judgement, justice, and
vengeance as used in the Bible? Vengeance is the
Lord's but apparently man can execute judgements
and justice. |
|
Adrian -
Boynton beach Doesn't the issue of using
gold and silver in regards to the Constitution
Article I Section 10 only apply to the states? How
do you address this objection? [Link]. |
See
Madison's explanation here: Immoral
"Money" Madison complains
about "the pestilent effects of paper
money," not the benefits of federal
paper money viz-a-viz state paper
money. This is a question of fundamental morality,
not mere federalism. |
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana Please comment on the
following: "Man cannot rule man. He uses
deception, manipulation, coercion, & force. It
doesn't work. It never worked. It will not work.
There is only one who can truly rule. God. |
|
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana What steps do we need to
take to transition from our current political
reality to the Godly reality of a patriarchal
society? |
"Patriarchal
society" = a society free of priests and
princes.
Here's a page created before y2k:
|
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana Who and what is the
Church? And what is it's role, if any, today? |
|
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana If we were ever to get the
size and scope of Federal government to match the
Constitution, what way could it be funded without
violating free market principles? |
"Governments"
ALWAYS violate Free Market principles. That's why
they were created: to do something prohibited in the
Free Market, like stealing or assassinating. If a
"government" does not violate Free Market
principles, it is a "voluntary
association," not a "government."
By definition. |
Kurt -
Lafayette, Indiana Must we eliminate the
Constitution in under to be truly a people with
"Liberty Under God"? |
Yes. |
Debbie - Hayts
Corners, NY How can we educate the people
when our public schools are flawed and a lot of our
churches are not preaching the truth? |
We
certainly should abolish
public schools. But then we need to establish replacements
for "public
servants." |

Mark Denton -
Springfield I am confused, the Libertarian
movement, as best defined by Ayn Rand is completely
opposed to Religion in politics. So aren't the terms
Libertarian and Evangelical out of whack with each
other? |
Thanks
for the question, Mark. Only a tiny fraction of
libertarians would say that only atheists can be
libertarians. Only a tiny fraction of evangelicals
would agree with Rand's definition of
"faith" (I'm just stipulating; I don't
know of a single one).

Tony - Seven
Springs In regards to constructive
capitalism, I was thinking about a documentary my
wife and I recently watched called "Dr.

eccentric and by no means is he Christian in the
orthodox sense, he did latch on to some Christian
principles in doing business. This documentary is

"The Search for God and Guinness" by
Stephen Mansfield. The tagline is "A biography
of the beer that changed the world." "It
began in Ireland in the late 1700s. The water in
Ireland, indeed throughout Europe, was famously
undrinkable, and the gin and whiskey that took its
place was devastating civil society. It was a
disease ridden, starvation plagued, alcoholic age,
and Christians like Arthur Guinness-as well as monks
and even evangelical churches-brewed beer that
provided a healthier alternative to the poisonous
waters and liquors of the times. This is where the
Guinness tale began. Now, 246 years and 150
countries later, Guinness is a global brand, one of
the most consumed beverages in the world. The tale
that unfolds during those two and a half centuries
has power to thrill audiences today: the
generational drama, business adventure, industrial
and social reforms, deep-felt faith, and the beer
itself." [link]
In regards to debt, interest, and going into
business. On page 54 of this book, Arthur Guinness
received 100 pounds as an inheritance from his
father's friend Dr. Price who had passed away. Not
until 7 years later of hard work, was he able to buy
the land that an old brewery sat on, getting a 9,000
year long lease. There was no mention about going
into debt. |

Carol - Orange,
CA Is your position on the Bible that it
substantially --- teaches from the beginning to end
--- that the civil magistrate is a hostile to the
Kingdom of God? If so, what do you think about
starting a Bible study with this UP FRONT statement
about the civil magistrate/STATE. And make sentence
by sentence connections through the scriptures to
this proposition. |
The
entity called "the civil magistrate" is
the worst idea that human beings have ever come up
with. It was designed by evil doers to do evil, but
well-intentioned people have also endorsed it. |
Pete -
California Do you think recapturing the
original interpretation of His-story might be a
useful change to the conversation? |
It
would be great, of course. What part of
"history" were you thinking of? Whose "original
interpretation" of history were you thinking
of? |
Tony - Seven
Springs 1. How would you commentate/exegete
Revelation 21:24-26 where the Scripture speaks of
"the kings of the earth will bring their glory
into it (i.e. into the new Jerusalem/new heavens and
earth, which I take to be the new covenant)? Who are
the kings? Is this signifying that civil governments
with rulers over nations will continue on? Can you
give me some clarification from your worldview? |
I see
it as the end of their reign, not the continuation.
Verse 23 says: "And the city had no need of
the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the
light thereof." The language of sun, moon,
and stars is the language of the
fall of political powers. It signifies the end
of their autonomous reign and their subservience to the
reign of the Lamb. Jesus said
those who obey Him are not archists. |
2. From your point
of view about the death penalty no longer necessary
to be carried out by man, because of Jesus' death,
can the same logic be applied to animals no longer
being used as a food source. Since animals became a
food source after the fall when they were sacrificed
as a covering/offering. Now that Christ died and no
longer are animals to be sacrificed, should animals
still be put to death for consumption? Especially
since Isaiah 65:25 reveals that animals will begin
to revert back to plant based food. Am I reading
into this too much? |
While
killing animals can make atonement, I can't think of
any way eating animals would do so (except where
specifically required as part of the sacrificial
ritual. Daily diet is different.) As
I recall (without taking time to look
anything up) they didn't become a
food source until after the Flood. I once
did a Bible study on this subject and it just about
split the church! I got a lot of ideas from Arthur
Custance on metabolism, etc. Heard of him? Google
custance and "doorway papers" Are you
familiar with Jim Jordan? He treats the animals as
symbolic of men and the dietary change in animals as
symbolic of a change in behavior. How do you fit
in 1 Timothy 4:3 "Forbidding to marry, and
commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiving of them
which believe and know the truth." |
Tony - Seven
Springs What do you think of Ron Paul? |
He's great on paper -- I agree with him on nearly
every issue. His stand on the issues against big
government has been heroic. He's not as great on TV
as a candidate. It sometimes seems to me that he
doesn't believe anybody is going to agree with him,
and that we're all headed for "the crack-up
boom." He seems grumpy. He needs to be more
effervescent and inviting, to make liberty more
attractive. he does this at pro-Paul rallies, but
not in hostile environments.
I did a little post-broadcast research on Gary
Johnson. He is pro-choice and pro-homosexual union.
I will not mention him favorably again. Ron Paul is
not aggressively pro-life enough to suit me, but he
is in the right camp on the issues, and Gary
Johnson is not. Abortion and homosexuality are
bellwether issues. They tell you a lot about the
candidate. |
Tony - Seven
Springs Should Christians running for office
who claim to be Christians, should they be quoting
from the Bible more and appealing to God's word as
the source of law? |
Some
good people would say no (Chuck Colson, David
Barton). I say yes. Go ahead, call me a "theocrat."
The laws of our Creator are objectively
revealed in the Bible so
that we don't have to rely on subjective intuitions
of "natural
law." This point needs to be pressed. The
authority of God in the Bible needs to be a matter
of public discourse and social consciousness. We
need the Christian
religion, not secular subjectivism. |
William -
Irvine, CA Kevin, sorry my wife and I haven't
been able to call in lately to your wonderful
program sat mornings. we've been going to a protest
demonstration at the Fullerton police dept. in
asking for justice be done in the murdering of a
homeless man kelly thomas by six officers, and
tazered 6 times.. the before and after picture of
this man is horrible in what they did to him, as his
last words were dad,dad, dad.. he had also a little
mental problem, but still this was not proper,,,
there have been 500 hundred of all kinds of people
asking for justice be done.. you can google
kellythomasfullertonprotest and see some of this..
praise GOD we so far can stand up to the authorities
with some freedom to make a statement.!! Bless you
Kevin talk to you soon.. keep up the great work !!! |
Our goal should not be to "protest" the
police and other archists, but to bring about repentance
on the part of police -- as individuals and as a
Department. "Protests" can harden hearts.
"Protests" depersonalize:
"us-them." Police circle the wagons to
protect themselves against the
"protesters" without really listening to
the issues. Suppose one of the tasering police was
your next-door neighbor. Or imagine that you're at
the DMV holding #123, and one of the officers is
next to you with #124, and they just called #38. How
will your conversation go in the next 45 minutes?
Will you "protest" or will you engage in a
conversation that might lead to repentance? |
Cheri Quillin -
Jasper I ask, WHICH religion is to be
represented by this THEOCRACY? The terms for Deity
in the Declaration of Independence (the three times
it is mentioned): "Nature's God"
"Creator" "Supreme Judge of the
World" "Nature's God"? Even pagans
worship this aspect of God. "Creator"? All
religions that I know of have belief in a
"creator". "Supreme Judge of the
World"? Any particular religion for this? So, I
ask: if the Declaration of Independence is a
"theocratic document" - then WHICH
RELIGION? By the way, I'm a resident of Jasper
County, and I vote. I will NOT SUPPORT ANYONE WHO
CO-MINGLES CHURCH AND STATE. I've studied the Holy
Roman Empire, and the crusades. I've studied the
Muslim theocracies, and I want NO PART of such a
thing. LIBERTARIANS avoid such a thing. LIBERTARIANS
are for freedoms from undue government influence.
You, sir - are no Libertarian. |
Back in
1892, The Supreme Court of the United States
declared that America is a Christian
nation. The Court cited the Declaration of
Independence as evidence of this. You say that
"pagans" worship a god using terms found
in the Declaration of Independence. But clearly, the
Framers of the Declaration were Christian, not
pagans, and intended the Christian God, not a pagan
god. You say "all religions" believe in a
creator. But none of these religions were
represented in Philadelphia during the Framing of
the Declaration or the Constitution. (Leaving alone
the fact that many religions, like
Buddhism, do not believe in god or a creator.)
The question, "Which religion," is obvious
to any intelligent observer, as the Supreme Court noted.
I too would not support anyone who co-mingles
church and state. I would only support someone who
wants to abolish
church and state. I am the
only such candidate that I know of.
No Christian I know of supports the crusades,
although because they were marginally Christian, the
Christian crusades were less genocidal
than atheist
crusades in our day.
I too want no part of a Muslim
theocracy, which is quite different from a
Christian Theocracy.
"Freedom from undue government
influence" is not enough for me. For me, all
government influence is "undue." If I am
not a Libertarian, it is because I am an anarchist,
and advocate the complete abolition of
"the government" and its oppressive
influence.

Drew - St. Louis You
are nucking futz. What version of the Bible uses the
word Archist? Or did you pull that rancid catfish
out of your nethers? |
"Drew"
obviously went to a government-run school. Click here
to look at the Greek text of Mark 10:42-45. The
Greek word arcein
in verse 42 is the word from which we get the
English word "anarchist."
The word "anarchist" means "not"
an "archist." We
don't often think about the literal meaning of the
word "anarchist." (And "Drew"
probably doesn't think very much at all. Maybe this
will get him started!)
"Drew" may have fallen for The
Biggest Government Lie in the History of the World.

don't you move to Iran or some similar country. You
have no place in this country when you try to impose
your religion on the rest of us. |
- Thanks for visiting and paying enough
attention to notice that I use the word
"Theocracy."
- • I don't want to move to Iran because I
want to live in a Christian
Theocracy like America, not a Muslim
theocracy.
- • I am not an archist,
that is, someone who is willing to "impose"
his will on others by initiating
force or threatening violence
against those I cannot persuade.
- • Do those who believe in the
religion of Secular Humanism have a place in
the U.S. to make all laws conform to their secular
religion? They have done this.
- • Every
"law" is the imposition of someone's
religion.
- • The word "Theocracy"
literally means "God rules,"
or looked at from the other direction, a nation
"under
God."
- • If I try to pass a law requiring public
schools to teach students that the Declaration
of Independence is really true,
people like you will accuse me of trying to
"impose a theocracy" on the U.S. That
assures me that every single person who signed
the U.S. Constitution would agree with me that
we ought to make America a
libertarian "Christian Theocracy."
They did.

Carol - Orange,
Ca Debt, debt, debt----No one takes the Law
of God seriously, so we are drowning in DEBT.
Proverbs 22:7--The borrower is the servant (slave)
of the lender. IMHO in this verse is a succinct
summation of our whole problem. Among the many
verses that speak against debt living, these two in
the NT speak especially strongly against this
practice of living on our home loans and credit and
debit cards---I Cor. 6:10---For you are bought with
a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in
your spirit; and I Cor. 7:23--You are bought with a
price; be not the servants of men. Are we
Christians? Do we read the WORD OF GOD, folks?? We
are literally sinking, second by second into a sea
of a quadrillion dollars of bad debts. You say,
"I never borrowed anything like that amount of
money." Ah, dear citizen and dear Christian,
you live on credit and thereby you gave the lender
your precious ownership rights, which God says
plainly belong to Him! God will not be mocked. We
are in serious trouble. Repent, dear Christian! |

Jim Means -
Branson, MO A republican senator from Wisconsin
writing in the Wall Street Journal this week claimed
that we have the best health care system in the
world, that the death rate from prostate cancer is
608% higher in Great Britain, a blatant misstatement
of the facts. Britain's death rate from prostate
cancer is actually lower than ours. We need to find
policies that can make our health care system open
to free market solutions that will provide a better
solution than national health care run by the
government or the insane system we have now. |
All
the evidence I've seen indicates that under British,
Canadian, and other socialist healthcare systems,
people are not allowed to seek testing/diagnosis or
treatment earlier than the government rationing
system allows, and that more die as a result. If I
could find a link to the source that claims there
are more deaths in the U.S., I would interact with
it.

the idea that humans are peaceable by nature and

institutions created by the Gospel: family, school,
employment, charity, etc.

tolerates alcohol consumption, has sex outside of

god who is complete within himself and needs no sons
or holy ghosts to carry out his will dares to call
mine a "false" religion? |
Many
muslims are more dedicated than many who call
themselves Christians, no doubt. A true Christian
and a true American is an "extremist."
The last portion of this comments sounds like
unitarianism. The
Bible teaches Trinitarianism.
The "Supreme Judge of
the World" mentioned in the Declaration of
Independence is Jesus Christ, according
to the Jefferson Bible. If Jesus really said
these things (as Jefferson apparently believes He
did) then he was insane if He is not really God. He
was nuts to allow the Jews to crucify Him for
claiming to be God if He was not really God. Taken
as a whole, the Bible claims that Jesus was Divine,
as well as the Holy Spirit.
This belief has been the foundation of liberty in
the Western World.
America's Founders -- even John
Adams, sometimes called a "unitarian"
-- endorsed and
promoted
Trinitarianism, as part of America's True
Religion.

Walnut Shade Eliminate all those departments
and add thousands to the unemployment lines. This is
not going to help our Libertarian image in the eyes
of the general public as uncaring, selfish
individuals. |
(1)
USPS employees will be employed by FedEx, UPS, etc. (2)
Government waste can be invested in new jobs and
increased productivity. (3) This increased
productivity = lower prices and a higher standard of
living, even if postal employees have leaner, more
competitive wages than they had in government.
It is selfish of government employees to use
force to protect their uncompetitive job. They
advance their own short-term interests at the
expense of others and even at the expense of their
own long-term prosperity and that of their
children. |
Allow the USPS, a
separate corporation not a government department to
close unnecessary post offices, limit hours and
otherwise streamline their services and UPS, FedEx
and other private services would have a hard time
competing. |
Correct.
It's hard to compete with a government agency that
gets to cut services and still charge the same
amount. Competitive business in the Free Market
can't get away with that. |
Parkinson's
Law is at work in large corporations as well as
government bureaus. At least the corporations can
scale back in tough times. That has produced our
current high unemployment and slow recovery as the
corporations enjoy higher profits and their
unnecessary employees take our taxes in unemployment
benefits |
"scaling
back" is a very good thing; exactly what needs
to take place. Government has been printing up new
money and giving it to special-interest businesses,
which percolates throughout the economy, creating an
artificial "boom." All these false
investments need to be liquidated, as they do not
reflect real consumer preferences.
Government-created employment needs to be replaced
with high unemployment, followed by consumer-created
employment. |

william of
irvine - irvine california kevin, as the
bible is our main book, what other books would you
recommend to read for spiritual, political and
health issues? |
See the Reading chart above |
|
I'd like to add a bit to last week's
answer. I believe the most pressing priority is not
reading other books "for spiritual, political
and health issues," but to build the foundation.
Ecclesiastes
12:12 And further, my son, be
admonished by these. Of making many books
there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the
flesh.
The majority of our time needs to be
on the foundations, including volunteer work
mentoring those who did not or do not have families
that reliably build foundations:
Deuteronomy
6:6-13 7
and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest
in thine house and when thou walkest by the way, and
when thou liest down and when thou risest up. 10"And
it shall be, when the LORD
thy God shall
have brought thee into the land which He swore unto
thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to
give thee great and goodly cities which thou built
not, 11and
houses full of all good things which thou filled
not, and wells dug which thou dug not, vineyards and
olive trees which thou planted not, when thou shalt
have eaten and be full, 12then
beware lest thou forget the LORD
who brought thee
forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage.
This is exactly where we are today.
Because the foundations have been ripped out
of public schools, we
have forgotten God, and are ready to be dropped in
the lap of a new Pharaoh.
The next verse is interesting,
because it seems like a change of subject, but it's
not really:
13Thou
shalt fear the LORD
thy God, and
serve Him, and shalt swear by
His name.
Our politicians do not take their
oaths in the name of God, and they break them. Oaths
are a reflection of foundations, of worldview.
We should avoid getting lost in detail, and missing
the big picture.

Shade That sounds like the mullah's stance
that Jesus or an imam is coming back to unite the

Muslim world. |
The
Bible does not teach that Jesus is "coming
again soon." But the Bible does teach that
Jesus came at the first Christmas
to create a "New World Order." Atheists,
Christians, and Muslims all agree on the necessity
for a world order.
Islam is an imitation of Christianity. True
Christianity does not teach that Christ will bring
peace at a future coming, but that already is the
Prince of Peace, and that Christians are priests and
kings who should implement His Reign in the world
today.
The "United Nations"
is the secular equivalent of the Christian and
Islamic ideal of world order.
The true Christian conception of world order is
not a global police state, or a global priest-state,
but global Anarcho-Theocracy.

Defending
Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn

"Theocracy"
and "globalism" are inescapable concepts.
Every government is a "theocracy." Every
government is the forcible legislation of somebody's
morality. The source of that morality is the
"god" of the society. In a Secular
Humanist theocracy, every man is his own god,
but the State or Party claims to embody the
"general will."
Every theocracy seek global dominion. Obviously
atheistic communism sought international hegemony.
So does the atheistic "New
World Order" of the Bush-Obama regime.
If Christians do not seek a global
theocracy, they will be brought under tribute to
the theocracy of another religion. A truly Christian
Theocracy is an "Anarcho-Theocracy."

Ezekiel
33 - NKJV The "watchman" was to
"warn the wicked of his way to turn from
it" (v. 9), not just to say, "the sword is
coming!" and encourage pre-emptive military
strikes or "survivalism."
Ezekiel

Voter - Branson Kevin,
I agree with many of the stances on your website.
However, I cannot find much information about you as
a person. Can you please tell us about yourself?
Also, according to your position for fewer taxes and
less spending, Congressmen would have to be willing
to sacrifice tax-rendered compensation for the
public good. Can you convince us that your own
personal financial situation would not create a
conflict of interest when it came to choosing
between the public's needs and your own needs? |
1. Some
personal info is found here
at the bottom of the page. 2. A whole lot more is
here. 3.
More important than who I am, is who I strive to be.
See here.
4. My personal financial situation is living in
poverty. If elected, I would stage "money
bombs" and other programs to raise money to
make sure that -- just as environmentalists worry
about "carbon footprints" -- I would not
leave a "taxpayer footprint" in my wake.
In other words, as much as possible, I would not
compel taxpayers to pay for my presence in
Washington D.C. This means following Ron
Paul's practice of returning the bulk of the
allocated money for Congressional Staff. It doesn't
take a large staff to follow the Constitution, only
to meet and deal with lobbyists. There will be none
of that in my office. I have formed a non-profit
organization to do the work of spreading the vision
of "Vine &
Fig Tree," and I would work through that
organization to accomplish my goals, and not use
extortion to raise money from taxpayers.

Kevin Craig's Platform:
- Feature:
- "Vine

American Dream - work, profit, save, invest, enjoy,
pass on to next generation.
- Not "easy to borrow,"
perpetual debt;
- Limit government to the size prescribed by the
Constitution:
- Education -- so the next
generation can understand what America's Founders
fought and died for. No government promotion of
schools (rather than homeschooling)
or colleges (rather than
apprenticeship or online alternatives).
- Energy -- the key to a
rising standard of living, the current chain to the
Middle East
- Not "invade other
nations" to secure our own wealth.
- Not trust in standing
armies for our "national
security."
- Taxes take over half of
everything we earn during our lifetime.
- Social Security is
an unethical ponzi scheme which prevents one
generation from passing
on a nice nest egg to the next.
- Every American could be born with a
comfortable inheritance for education, a first home,
or medical care; instead, every American is born in
great debt.
- Washington D.C. central planning
increases debt, does not create the "Vine
& Fig Tree" life.
- No more inflation, no
more paper money.
- No more wasteful government spending.
(Or do I repeat myself?)
- You cannot have liberty and prosperity without
religion and morality.
What Would America's Founding
Fathers Do?
The men who signed
a Declaration of Independence against tyranny
would not be happy with today's government - a government
more tyrannical than any they could have imagined.
The men who threw tea into the Boston Harbor over a tax of
3 pence per pound would not be happy with a tax ten
times greater on every gallon of gas.
Those who took up muskets over a total tax burden of less
than 3% would not be happy with the fact that the
federal government now takes more
than half of everything you earn.
Today it is illegal for public school teachers to teach
their students that the Declaration of Independence is
really true (and not just an outdated historical
document). The federal government is clearly at war with
everything the Founding Fathers stood for.
America's greatest Americans would abolish
today's federal government.
Muskets are Not an Option
There are two reasons why we should not take up arms to
pull off the violent overthrow
of the federal government, even if America's Founders
would surely do so. First, the feds have nukes. Second,
violent revolution is unChristian and unBiblical. We must
beat our swords into plowshares
and use persuasion to abolish tyranny.
This is time for a revolution of ideas.
Revolution Won't Come in a Day
John Adams once wrote that the American
Revolution began in 1761, when Massachusetts attorney
James Otis began legal challenges to the Writs
of Assistance. He lost the case, but "American
independence," Adams wrote, "was
then and there born." Now do the math. That means
it took 15 years to convince the rest of
America to declare Independence (1776). Then another seven
years of war was required before a Peace Treaty was
signed (1783), and then six years before the
Constitution was finally ratified (1789). That's almost 30
years. (And Jefferson said we shouldn't go 20
years without another rebellion!) How can we hope to
convince Americans to fight for principles they were never
taught in government schools? We need to be in this battle
for the long term. "Eternal
Vigilance is the Price of Liberty."
George Washington has been
criticized for owning slaves --
even though he inherited them, and even though
it was illegal for him to free them (when Virginia
tried passing laws against slavery, the
King of Britain overruled them). But being a slave
in a Christian nation is better than being
"free" in an atheistic nation.
In the Soviet Union, workers on the collective
farms were allowed a small plot of land to grow what
they wanted, and sell for whatever they could get.
These small plots of capitalism saved the entire
nation from starvation. "Two percent of privately
owned Soviet farmland was producing fully 30
percent of the country’s grain."
Today's Secular America is like the atheistic
Soviet Union. The government claims ownership of more
than 2/3 of everything you earn. The majority of
industry is regulated by the State. Yet the small
amount of freedom left to us provides us with iPods,
big-screen TV, microwaves, and info-tainment. We think
we are wealthy. But we are not free.
In America, the percentage of privately-owned
property -- truly and securely owned -- is not much
different from the percentage in the Soviet Union. George
Washington's ideal was for every American to live
peacefully under his
own "Vine & Fig Tree." This was the
original "American Dream." Today's
"American Dream" is a fixed-rate mortgage.
The bank actually owns your home. This is a form of
slavery, as anyone who signed the Constitution would
tell you. Even if you pay off your mortgage, the U.S.
Supreme Court has ruled that the
government can take your home and give it to
someone else who might use your property differently
and pay more taxes to the government than you do.
Consider the challenge of Samuel
Adams.
Americans today love "wealth" (if "gangsta-rap
cell-phone ring-tones" can be considered
"wealth") better than liberty and personal
responsibility. Because Americans have been denied the
three most important features of colonial schools in
America, they are ignorant and illiterate
-- like slaves.
|
Samuel Adams, speaking at the State House in
Philadelphia, “to
a very numerous audience” on August 1, 1776:
“If
ye love wealth better than liberty, the
tranquillity of servitude more than the
animating contest of freedom —go
from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or
arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed
you. May your chains
sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen!
If you are an ordinary American, you are a pampered
slave. You are wealthy beyond the imagination
of anyone alive in 1776. But you would rather keep the
remote control of your TV than risk
it by fighting for liberty and personal
responsibility. |

Who
are the Big Enemies? What are the Big Issues? Martin
Luther said:
- If
I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition
every portion of the truth of God except precisely that
little point which the world and the devil are at that
moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however
boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle
rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and
to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere
flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
- Do you know what the Big Issues are? Do you know how
to fight them?

The
"Enumerated Powers Act" (EPA) Each
member, upon the start of his term of office, takes an
oath, promising to protect and uphold the
Constitution. Yet virtually every day that Congress is
in session these same oath-takers become law-breakers
-- passing laws and expending funds on items that are
not Constitutionally permissible. Background

End the Mexican Civil War Black-market
profits caused by drug prohibition fund a civil war
in Mexico that's threatening to spill over our
borders. Drug profits also fuel the terrorists who
are killing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. It's time
to dry up the black-market profits. It's time to end
drug prohibition.

Make
Congress Read Their Bills Before Voting Make
Congress read every word of every bill they create
before they vote on it. Urge your Representative
and your Senators to sponsor DownsizeDC.org's “Read
the Bills Act” (RTBA). |
End
the FED The Federal Reserve System
constantly inflates and deflates the supply of money
and credit, causing booms and busts. It's time to get
off this roller-coaster. It's time to end the Fed.

No
Bailouts! No government money, whether
borrowed or taxed, should ever be used to bailout
private financial interests. If you agree, please send
Congress a message telling them so. |

- A Backdoor Real ID Card Real ID is
dying. But the Department of Homeland Security has a
new plan to subject every American to a national ID
card anyway. They plan to pick off one occupational
field at a time, starting with the maritime industry.
One man is fighting back. Meet him, and help stop this
backdoor Real ID plan.

Repeal
the campaign finance laws Campaign finance
laws are really incumbent protection laws. They make
it almost impossible for challengers to raise
competitive funding, while doing almost nothing to
control the true causes of government corruption. We
were told that the campaign finance laws—the
contribution limits and the reporting requirements—would
curtail or even prevent corruption. Now, with 40 years
of experience, we know that they do the exact
opposite. |
End
Asset Forfeiture If the government
suspects you used your house or car in a crime, they
can take it and sell it at auction. They don't even
have to prove your guilt. They call this practice
civil asset forfeiture, but it's really theft. It
violates the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 14th
Amendments. It also encourages law enforcement to put
profits before justice. Tell Congress to end civil
asset forfeiture.

Cap-and-trade
is not the way to control carbon emissions. Even
if you accept that human CO2 emissions are causing
problematic global warming, a government run "cap
and trade" system is not the way to deal with
this problem. • An increase in your electricity
and gasoline bills • New tools for politicians to
control the economy, hand out favors, and punish
enemies • Almost no improvement in reducing
overall CO-2 emissions (if the example of Europe is a
reliable guide) Learn

Making rules is the job of Congress, not
bureaucrats. DownsizeDC.org has drafted

Restore
consumer controlled health care The
politicians tell us free market health care doesn't
work, but we haven't had a free market in decades. •
Starting with depression era wage and price
controls, and continuing with government tax
policies, the politicians have made Americans
dependent on their jobs to get health insurance. •
The government already pays for nearly half of all
health care. This means we're half-socialized
already Learn

Stop
the War for Terror U.S.
policy has inflamed the Middle East. It has made
terrorism more likely rather than less. We seem to be
fighting a war for terror,
rather than on terror. This
policy must stop. The place to start stopping is with
Iran. We must not attack Iran. War with Iran
would devastate our economy, disrupt world oil
supplies, and recruit more terrorists. Click
here to stop this war before it starts.

Preserve
the Freedom to Farm Crops grow in dirt.
Animals don't take showers or use toilets. Food is
made from yucky stuff. This means there's always a
risk of contamination. We can reduce this risk, but
not eliminate it. Attempts to make everything
perfectly safe are Utopian fantasies that carry a high
price in increased costs, reduced variety, diminished
supply, and . . . increased risk. The free market
already provides you with multiple ways to balance
risks and costs. Learn
