Slick Willy

Wow! Last night's speech by Bill Clinton at the DNC was very convincing. When he was done, I felt compelled to vote with the liberals.... Not really, but he gave a very passionate speech and he did a great job manipulating the data to give undue credit to Obama's first three and a half years in office. Clinton touted Obama's  liberal accomplishments as successes so well, that many who were on the fence jumped enthusiastically to the left. Oh, help us!

What a bunch of blind sheep these liberal voters are. Have they forgotten that the man that so passionately swooned them last night brought public shame and reproach to the sacred office of the Presidency. Was it not Bill Clinton who perjured himself as President, lying to the public about his Oval Office misconduct with a one Monica Lewisnsky?  Clinton has a lying reputation! And he's the guy who's message was embraced last night!? If he lied to you while he was President, don't you think he would lie to you when he is not? How can a man of Clinton's character be chosen by his party as the Democratic standard bearer? I guess that decision speaks a great volume of the party and it's loyal voters. Great speach...but no credibility.

Some things about Clinton's speech that was a farce:
1.  "Obama inherited this economic mess." Well, he did. He inherited it from the Democratic-controlled Congress which took office in 2007 (of which he was a part). Obama himself voted for the out-of-control spending budgets of 2007-present. Before this, there were 4 straight years of reduced deficit spending under the Bush administration.
2. "Obamacare is already helping people." Really, last I checked, the policies of the Affordable Health Care Act don't even take effect until 2014. Writers of the law set this date to benefit the President, because when it does start to burden the healthcare system and the average American, his job would be safe -- assuming his re-election.
3. "'So here's another job score. President Obama: plus 4.5 million, congressional Republicans: zero."
In January 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 106.8 million Americans in paid jobs. In July of this year, the figure came in at 111.3 million. That's a gain of 4.5 million. The problem: President Obama was sworn in to office in January 2009. On his first day in office, the private payroll count stood at 111 million. So if Obama is to take full responsibility for all his time in office, his administration has only created a net of 300,000 jobs.(ABCnews.com -- fact check).

Bottom line... Again you have a politician who is "pouring honey" into the ears of his followers. During this campaign season, we are seeing all our candidates seek approval for their own agendas. What we need are statesmen not politicians. We need people who seek to promote the people they serve rather than themselves. Someone who looks out for the people rights and the protection of our Constitution.

So, Bill Clinton... nice try.

God's Word - The Moral Compass

A few weeks ago, I was out in my garage organizing a bunch of unwanted items for a garage sale. To kill the silence, I turned on the radio. One of my favorite things to listen to is talk radio, usually on the AM dial. I also like listening to Crosstalk on CleanAirFM, which is what I tuned in to that day. The topic of the discussion that day entailed a photography company being tried in a discrimination case involving their refusal to provide services to a homosexual couple. The photography company clearly stated they reserved the right to withhold services at anytime if the event or business opportunity violated their religiously held beliefs. This is a stipulation many businesses, especially Christian businesses, adopt to protect themselves and their moral standards. The host of the show laid the groundwork for discussion by siding with the photography company saying that it was their right to withhold services and that it was wrong for the courts to proceed with discrimination charge...

"And We Esteemed Him Not"

During a recent Sunday evening service, Pastor Bickelhaupt asked what it was that is so important as to keep church members from attending church when they know the doors are open and services are being held. He went on to say that people willfully reject the prospect of meeting with Christ Himself (as His presence is promised when the church meets together in His name). Jesus promises in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”  Pastor implied that there are too many professing Christians who find it preferable to attend the weekly Sunday morning worship hour, but find gracing the church building outside of that service to be merely optional, an inconvenience, or just not that important.   It got me thinking. What could possibly be more important than meeting with the Savior?! Here is Someone Who gave everything for us. He literally sacrificed a heavenly abode for an earthly bed mat, for scripture reveals ...

Making the Case for "Assault"-Style Weapons: It's a Heart Issue

In the wake of the recent school shootings in America, many have asked, "Why do we need access to "assault"-style weaponry as private citizens?" So... here's my take on the Second Amendment. Not to be argumentative... just posing a logical explanation. Let's say our government does begin to radically infringe upon our rights. Let's say a dictatorship does arise. The sole intent of the Founding Fathers to arm its people was to protect against a rogue government.  "But they never envisioned the type of guns we have today." This is the argument of many, which in my estimation falls flat on its face. Though they're right and it's true, the Founders could never have imagined the realm of destruction and devastation our modern-day privately-owned weapons wield. But they also never envisioned a government that has the military weaponry ours does today either. Can you imagine a suppressed citizenry trying to defend with single-s...
