Simple Ethical
Reasons to Vote James Dobson Sounds Urgent
Alarm He's one of the most respected Christians in
America. A
lot is at stake this election. And now, James Dobson is sounding
the alarm for believers to take this crucial action in the coming election,
or else ... “Hidden in
Religious Terms”
“We will find our most fertile field for infiltration by communists within the field of religion because religious people… will swallow anything if it is hidden in religious terms.” —Vladimir Lenin, Russian Marxist revolutionary and communist politician who led the October Revolution of 1917. This very year, one political party is using this strategy directly out of Lenin’s playbook. Will
Americans succumb to the sin of socialism? Consider voting … as if God’s blessing of liberty depends on you. Human Rights and Racism A Brief History of the Ku Klux
Klan and the Political Parties The Ku Klux Klan,
commonly called the KKK or simply the Klan, refers to three distinct secret movements
at different points in time in the history of the United States.
Historically, the KKK used terrorism—both physical assault and murder—against
groups or individuals whom they opposed. The
members of the first Klan were exclusively Democrats. It
flourished in the Southern United States in the late 1860s, then died out by
the early 1870s. It sought to overthrow the
Republican state governments in the South during the Reconstruction Era,
especially by using violence against African-American
leaders. With numerous autonomous chapters across the South, it was suppressed
around 1871, through federal law enforcement. Members made their own, often
colorful, costumes: robes, masks and conical hats, designed to be terrifying
and to hide their identities. [Source] One Political Party was
Formed to Stop Slavery and its Racism in 1854 The Republican Party is one of the two major political parties in the
United States, the other being its historic rival, the Democratic Party. The
party is named after republicanism, a major ideology of the American
Revolution. Founded by anti-slavery activists, economic
modernizers, ex-National Republicans, ex-Free Soilers
and Whigs in 1854. [Source] Racial Segregation and a Specific Political Party “Jim Crow laws” were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. Enacted by white Democrat-dominated state legislatures after the
Reconstruction period, in the late 19th century, the laws were enforced until
1965. In practice, Jim Crow laws mandated racial
segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America, starting in
the 1870s and 1880s. Education had essentially been segregated since its
establishment in most of the South, after the Civil War (1861–65). President Woodrow
Wilson, a Democrat, initiated
segregation of federal workplaces at the request of southern Cabinet members
in 1913. These Jim Crow laws revived principles of the 1865 and
1866 Black Codes, which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil
liberties of African Americans. Segregation of public (state-sponsored) schools
was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in
1954 in Brown v. Board of Education. In some states it took years to
implement this decision. Generally, the remaining Jim Crow laws were
overruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965,
but years of action and court challenges have been needed to unravel the many
means of institutional discrimination. [Source] The Democratic Party’s
Opposition to the Civil Rights Act Speaking of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, its opposition
was clearly Democrats. African American,
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, blasts the Party as
worse than ever before. Today, Democrats
falsely accuse the Republican party as the racist party. Consider voting … as if human rights depend on you. Immigration Immigration,
World Poverty and Gumballs The “Refugees” Scam Coming
to Your Town 101 The Immigration Dispute is
About Power Confirmed: The Democrats’ Version
of Immigration is All About ‘Securing Votes’ Former assistant to former President Obama, Jennifer Palmieri, of the Center for American Progress finally let the cat out of the bag in January, 2018, by admitting something that’s been obvious, and that is that the Democrats’ version of immigration is all about securing additional votes: The Center for American Progress Action Fund distributed a memo saying illegal immigrants brought into the United States at a young age are a “critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success.” In fact, a report suggested that four or five GOP-majority states could be shoved into the Dems’ column if those hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens abruptly are given the vote. The memo was sent by Palmieri to allies asking Democrats to “refuse to offer any votes for Republican spending bills that do not offer a fix for Dreamers and instead appropriate funds to deport them.” In essence, it was a call to shut down the government, since its funding was due to run out the following week unless the GOP and Democrats agree on further spending. The memo explained if “Dreamers” don’t get the vote, it would “jeopardize Democrats’ electoral changes in 2018 and beyond.” What
Changed with the Mexico Border at San Diego? In 1986, the San Diego Border Patrol sector accounted for approximately one-third of all apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border. Today, it accounts for only a small fraction. How did the region go from one of the busiest sectors for illegal border crossings to one of the most secure? And have there been any tangible civic benefits? Video report: Visit the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego for just four minutes and thirteen seconds to find out. Final
2017 Report on Incarcerated Illegal Immigrants More
than 1 in 5 of all federal inmates in the U.S. Bureau of Prisons are
immigrants, as of the end of the fiscal year 2017, a federal
report released December 21, 2017 said. The
report also found that 94 percent of confirmed foreign-born inmates in federal
incarceration were in the country illegally. The
report also found that about two-thirds of all immigrants in the custody of
U.S. Marshals Service were in the United States illegally. “This
shows undeniably the need to secure the southern border to prevent many of
the crimes from occurring,” a senior administration official said. A
senior administration official cited U.S. Sentencing Commission data from
fiscal year 2016 that found almost one-third of drug trafficking crimes and more
than two-thirds of drug-use crimes came from foreign-born offenders, both
legal and illegal. The
report found 58,766 known or suspected aliens were in Justice Department
custody at the end of fiscal 2017, or Sept. 30. That included 39,455 persons
incarcerated by the Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, and another 19,311 held by the
U.S. Marshals Service, or USMS. The
report continues: Of
this total, 37,557 people had been confirmed by U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) to be aliens (i.e., non-citizens and non-nationals), while
21,209 foreign-born people were still under investigation by ICE to determine
alienage. Among
the 37,557 confirmed aliens, 35,334 people (94 percent) were unlawfully present. These numbers include a 92 percent unlawful rate among 24,476 confirmed aliens in BOP
custody and a 97 percent
unlawful rate among
13,081 confirmed aliens in USMS custody. “The
American people deserve a lawful system of immigration that serves the
national interest,” Attorney General said in a statement issued December 21,
2017. “But at the border and in communities across America, our citizens are
being victimized by illegal aliens who commit crimes.” The
Attorney General added: Nearly
95 percent of confirmed aliens in our federal prisons are here illegally. We
know based on sentencing data that noncitizens commit a substantially disproportionate
number of drug-related offenses, which contributes to our national drug abuse
crisis. The
simple fact is that any offense committed by a criminal alien is ultimately
preventable. One victim is too many. It’s time for Congress to reform our
immigration agenda so that we start welcoming the best and brightest while
turning away drug dealers, gang members, and other criminals. “As
of September 28, 2017, a total of 24,476 confirmed aliens were housed in BOP
facilities, and an additional 14,979 foreign-born individuals in BOP
facilities remained under ICE investigation; together these known and
suspected aliens
accounted for 21 percent of all federal inmates in BOP custody,”
the report says. The
report continues: As
of October 2, 2017, a total of 19,311 known and suspected aliens were housed
in USMS facilities. Of the confirmed aliens in USMS custody, 66 percent (12,720) were unlawfully present, including 11,459
aliens (59 percent) with an administrative final order of removal and 1,261
aliens (6.5 percent) who were unlawfully present but pending adjudication in
removal proceedings. U.S. Immigrant Population at an All-Time High. Understand more here. The

the Fascism and Nazism Roots in America In 1925
the Jewish philosopher Theodor Lessing spoke out against the repressive
political climate of Weimar Germany. Although
Lessing’s explicit target was the cravenness of the Weimar regime of Paul von
Hindenburg, his real target was the emerging power of Nazism, and he blamed
the government for yielding to it. The Nazis
recognized immediately the threat posed by Lessing. Adolf Hitler youth at
Lessing’s University of Hanover formed a “committee against Lessing.” They
encouraged students to boycott his lectures. Nazi youth
then showed up and disrupted Lessing’s classes. Lessing was forced to give up
his academic chair the following year. In his
account of what happened, Lessing later wrote that he could do nothing to
prevent being “shouted down, threatened and denigrated” by student activists. He was
helpless, he said, “against the murderous bellowing of youngsters who accept
no individual responsibilities but pose as spokesman for a group or an
impersonal ideal, always talking in the royal ‘we’ while hurling personal
insults … and claiming that everything is happening in the name of what’s
true, good and beautiful.” This was
fascism, German style, in the 1920s. In March
2017, the eminent political scientist Charles Murray showed up to give a
lecture on class divisions in American society at a progressive bastion,
Middlebury College in Vermont. Hundreds
of protesters who deemed themselves “anti-fascists” gathered outside
McCullough Student Center where Murray was scheduled to speak and engage in
dialog with Middlebury political scientist Allison Stanger. Murray is
a libertarian who leans Republican, although he’s no fan of President Donald
Trump. Unlike Lessing, who taught at the university where he was harassed,
Murray doesn’t teach at Middlebury, which is virtually devoid of conservative
faculty. (Stanger
is a moderate Democrat affiliated with the “New America Foundation.”) In any
event, the discussion promised to be a scholarly and illuminating one, giving
students a perspective that they never get. But the Middlebury protesters
were having none of it. The
activists confronted Murray and Stanger, and at one point they struck
Stanger. Inside Wilson Hall, protesters turned their backs to Murray and
began to boo and shout epithets like “racist” and “Nazi.” Murray
found he simply could not be heard. College officials escorted Murray and
Stanger to another location where their conversation had, for safety reasons,
to be shown on closed-circuit television. After the
event, according to Middlebury spokesman Bill Burger, Murray and Stanger were
“physically and violently confronted by a group of protesters.” The
protesters were masked in the standard Antifa style. Murray and
Stanger ducked into an administrator’s car, but the protesters attacked the
car, pounding on it rocking it, and seeking to prevent it from leaving. “At one
point,” Burger said, “a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car.
Public safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the
vehicle to leave campus.” According
to Burger, “During the confrontation outside McCullough, one of the
demonstrators pulled Stanger’s hair and twisted her neck. She was attended to
at Porter Hospital later and is wearing a neck brace.” Murray
praised campus security officers for the protection they provided but
described what he experienced as “scary, violent mob action.” This is
so-called progressive anti-fascism, American style, circa 2017. Why does
this purported anti-fascism on the part of progressives so closely resemble
the fascism that it claims to be opposing? More profoundly, what is
“anti-fascism” as the term is now used on the American left? To answer
these questions, we turn to a founder of the so-called anti-fascist movement
on the progressive left, the “sociologist” Herbert Marcuse. Let
us focus on the idea that Marcuse is probably best remembered for, one that
could not be more pertinent today. This
idea was unveiled in a famous essay he wrote called “Repressive Tolerance.”
This essay was published along with several others in a book published in
1970 called “A Critique of Pure Tolerance.” Let’s
look at the argument of the essay because it provides the basis for the
vicious intolerance that the left currently unleashes against all forms of dissent
in our culture. The
malicious bullying and terrorizing of conservatives on campus, the shaming of
Republicans in the media, the defilement of the American flag, the disruption
of Trump rallies—all of this behavior receives its moral
justification in Marcuse’s famous—or infamous—essay. Marcuse
bluntly calls for “intolerance against movements from the right, and
toleration of movements from the left.” He admits his goal is one of “shifting the balance
between left and right by restraining the liberty of the right,”
and in this way “strengthening the oppressed against the oppressors.” Marcuse’s
argument has been summed up in the phrase: No toleration of the intolerant.
In the 1960s, Marcuse acolytes used a similar chant, “No free speech for
fascists.” At
first glance, “no free speech for fascists” sounds like an unobjectionable
idea. But upon reflection, it becomes problematic. Don’t
all citizens under the Constitution have equal rights, and if so don’t they
have the same rights to free speech, free assembly, and so on? If so, then
fascists have those rights too. So on what basis can
fascists in America be denied rights? Since
Marcuse intends this, he obviously does not believe in equal rights for all
citizens, and neither, apparently, do his modern-day followers. Moreover,
not once does Marcuse demonstrate that the groups he
intends to repress are in fact fascist. Marcuse’s targets
are not Nazis but rather patriots, Republicans, conservatives, and
Christians. The
real meaning of Marcuse’s essay is: No free speech for patriots and conservatives. No
toleration for capitalists and Christians. Of
course, the
fascists and Nazis themselves sought to undermine the institutions of liberal
democracy, such as free speech and tolerance, in precisely the way Marcuse recommends. To
fight fascism with intolerance is one thing. But to fight classical
liberalism and modern American conservatism with intolerance is, well, fascist. UC

Matt. 25:31-46). "God will curse those who
curse Israel" (Zech. 14;
Matt. 25:31-46). The Democratic Party Originally,
all mentions of God were removed from the Democratic Party Platform
in 2012. Four
years prior, the Democratic Party's platform had said "Jerusalem is and
will remain the capital of Israel." But in 2012 that language was
dropped, drawing criticism from presidential candidate Mitt Romney and
others. And the word "God" was dropped from a paragraph
that, in 2008, spoke of giving those willing to work the opportunity to
"make the most of their God-given potential." After being exposed by Republicans, Democrats reinstated
language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital
of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that had been removed. The attempt to add them after the fact nearly failed,
revealing the clear truth about the Democratic Party. It took three
boisterous floor votes to add these principles back to the platform. And
listening to the ayes and nays on the third vote, it is questionable that they
actually got the two-thirds that were needed. “We try to avoid this type of conflict by providing ammunition
to the other side to exploit,” Rep. Nydia Velazquez, of New York, said. U.S.

somehow believed that would happen, this long

abortions. With black women having abortions at five times the rate of white women, The democrat is a profile in cowardice. In a land where we have devoted ourselves to the pursuit of life, isn’t this unacceptable? If they allow the killing of helpless unborn children,

Online and a nationally syndicated columnist. Lopez writes often on abortion
and bioethics, religion, feminism, education, politics. How tipping points in culture lead us to where we are today “Do you know what a tipping point is? It’s an
event that causes a shift in an area that was previously unaffected. “When Playboy magazine came into existence
in the 1950s this caused a tipping point in moral compromise in our nation. “When a woman kissed another woman on
national television in the 90s, it was a tipping point to greater sexually
aberrant behavior. “When prayer was removed from schools in
1963, it was a tipping point. We began to see more violence in schools and
poorer test scores. “When Roe vs Wade made abortion legal in
1973, we saw a tipping point of killing unborn children and less value placed
on human life. “Today we are seeing the fruit of these
tipping points. The #MeToo movement is evidence of many who have kept dark
secrets of being sexually and emotionally abused. This didn’t just happen
overnight. It has taken years of our society praising sexual promiscuity and
ridiculing those for speaking
against such behaviors as being intolerant and the result has been
deviant actions. “Let us repent as a nation for allowing promiscuity to
grow in our nation that leads to dishonoring others.” [Source] Same-Sex Marriage and the Preservation of Society Eighty-six (86) now extinct human civilizations ranging from tiny South Sea island principalities to mighty Rome were studied. Historian, Arnold Toynbee, anthropologist, J.D. Unwin, economist, Joseph Schumpeter, and historian, Will Durant, are undisputed world-class authorities. And they all agreed: A
society's destiny is linked inseparably to the limits it imposes on sexual
expression and that those sexual constraints correlate directly to its
theological sophistication and religious commitment. The most
primitive societies had only rudimentary spiritual beliefs and virtually no
restrictions on sexual expression, whereas societies with more sophisticated
theologies placed greater restrictions on sexual expression,
and achieved greater social development. In
particular, cultures that adopt what J.D. Unwin dubbed
"absolute monogamy" proved to be the most vigorous, economically

world's greatest researchers of cultural decline are strikingly parallel to
the Bible's. From the time of the founding of the U.S.A. up until the current era, most Americans held the Bible to be their ultimate guidebook and took very seriously the clear biblical teachings, including the warning in Romans 1:18-32 that societies perish when they fall to widespread sexual immorality. Consider voting … as if the
preservation of society depends on you. At Romans 1:26–27, God identifies same-sex relationships as symptomatic of His giving individuals over to unnatural affections. In Romans 1:17–32; 3:23, the Bible discusses the universal sinfulness (depravity) of mankind since Adam and Eve’s fall. Romans 1 addresses the progressive manifestation of God’s wrath upon a society that rebelled against Him — Romans 1:24, 26 says that God “gave them up,” and Romans 1:28 says that He “gave them over.” Each giving up or giving over statement is God’s response to the disobedience of His created people (Romans 1:21–23, 25, 28). Each instance is negative, not positive. This is a passage that President Obama publicly ridiculed as an "obscure passage in Romans."
