“What Blessings Shall We Receive in That Kingdom…?”

Fra Angelico, All Saints (The Forerunners of Christ with Saints and Martyrs)
National Gallery, London

~ “LETTERS FROM EUROPE” ~ by Rob (Wind Rose Hotel) ~

Tomorrow, November 1st, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the feast of All Saints, that is, the day in which Catholics commemorate all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven—the festival, however, was retained after the Reformation in the calendar of many other Christian confessions for its deep theological and spiritual meaning. This prompts me to quote a passage from St. Augustine The City of God (Book XXII, Chapter 24) which I have always found inspirational, and this, of course, because of its intrinsic worth, but also because of its many references to nature and its beauty. Something which, in my opinion, is suitable for this time of the year, too, in which we experience the beauty of fall foliage…

How can I tell of the rest of creation, with all its beauty and utility, which the divine goodness has given to man to please his eye and serve his purposes, condemned though he is, and hurled into these labors and miseries? Shall I speak of the manifold and various loveliness of sky, and earth, and sea; of the plentiful supply and wonderful qualities of the light; of sun, moon, and stars; of the shade of trees; of the colors and perfume of flowers; of the multitude of birds, all differing in plumage and in song; of the variety of animals, of which the smallest in size are often the most wonderful—the works of ants and bees astonishing us more than the huge bodies of whales? Shall I speak of the sea, which itself is so grand a spectacle, when it arrays itself as it were in vestures of various colors, now running through every shade of green, and again becoming purple or blue? Is it not delightful to look at it in storm, and experience the soothing complacency which it inspires, by suggesting that we ourselves are not tossed and shipwrecked? What shall I say of the numberless kinds of food to alleviate hunger, and the variety of seasonings to stimulate appetite which are scattered everywhere by nature, and for which we are not indebted to the art of cookery? How many natural appliances are there for preserving and restoring health! How grateful is the alternation of day and night! How pleasant the breezes that cool the air! How abundant the supply of clothing furnished us by trees and animals! Who can enumerate all the blessings we enjoy? If I were to attempt to detail and unfold only these few which I have indicated in the mass, such an enumeration would fill a volume. And all these are but the solace of the wretched and condemned, not the rewards of the blessed. What then shall these rewards be, if such be the blessings of a condemned state? What will He give to those whom He has predestined to life, who has given such things even to those whom He has predestined to death? What blessings will He in the blessed life shower upon those for whom, even in this state of misery, He has been willing that His only-begotten Son should endure such sufferings even to death? Thus the apostle reasons concerning those who are predestined to that kingdom: He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also give us all things? Romans 8:32 When this promise is fulfilled, what shall we be? What blessings shall we receive in that kingdom, since already we have received as the pledge of them Christ's dying? In what condition shall the spirit of man be, when it has no longer any vice at all; when it neither yields to any, nor is in bondage to any, nor has to make war against any, but is perfected, and enjoys undisturbed peace with itself? Shall it not then know all things with certainty, and without any labor or error, when unhindered and joyfully it drinks the wisdom of God at the fountain-head? What shall the body be, when it is in every respect subject to the spirit, from which it shall draw a life so sufficient, as to stand in need of no other nutriment? For it shall no longer be animal, but spiritual, having indeed the substance of flesh, but without any fleshly corruption.

Religion in the News in Just the Past Week

Michelle Obama recently stated if a Republican wins the White House the first amendment will be shredded and shelved; there would no longer be freedom of religion. This is rich considering more Democrats believe in UFO’s than God, and is the Party that promotes anti-Christian bigotry, secularism, anti-traditionalism, and anti-Semitism. She included that free speech will end; also rich considering they are the propagators of political correctness; which is being only able to say what they approve of.

Jesus said lots of people are going to despise anyone who believed and practiced what he taught. Indeed. "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake." Christians are being jailed and killed in the tens of thousands worldwide. I'm grateful that's not happening here, yet. If our government (and Europe's) keeps bending to Sharia Law, all bets are off.  Here is some religion news from the past week.

Atheists are ramping up for their anti-Christian Hate Festival, also known as Christmas by many.  Backyard Skeptics, an atheist group in Orange County, put up a billboard with a quote from Thomas Jefferson, “I do not find in Christianity one redeeming feature. It is founded on fables and mythology.” Problem was Jefferson never wrote it, or was quoted saying it. The billboard was taken down. Atheists spend an inordinate amount of time attacking Christians, which is counterintuitive since God doesn’t exist; why bother? It’s odd so much time is spent attacking people that believe in something that doesn’t exist. This same group showed its tolerance and courage about a month ago standing on a pier in Huntington Beach tearing up a Bible. (Last week while the Pope was having Mass, a knucklehead got on a ledge and burned a Bible. They’re everywhere.) Courage is mentioned here because they don’t attack Muslims, also a monotheistic religion. There will be more of the same expressions of hate and intolerance in the next couple months as we get into our celebration of Baby Jesus’ birth. Atheists have nothing positive and uplifting to offer, no love, compassion, charity or care, so they preach a message of hate and intolerance.

Going overseas a bit, there’s a play in Paris, part of which includes the throwing of feces at Jesus Christ’s face. Understandably Christians aren’t happy with this and gathered in protest. The Christians are being branded as “fundamentalists” (the label bigots toss at anyone professing Christianity, excluding false Christians that claim the Faith but put Marxism first). The mayor of Paris is having the city file a lawsuit against the protesters. It’s apparently okay for everyone else to protest against stuff that angers them, just not Christians. I wonder if the coward that wrote the play, “Sur le Concept du Visage du fils de Dieu” (”On the Concept of the Son of God’s Face”), by Italian Romeo Castellucci, would write a play with feces being thrown at the face of Mohammed. The mayor of Paris, by the way, let Muslims rampage through the streets of Paris, striking fear into citizens and destroying $millions of property.  He allows them to block traffic and disrupt business when Muslims do their prayer ritual, as does the anti-Christian London mayor and government.

The Wall Street Occupy protesters in London camped out on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral. The cathedral closed, one would guess to protect it. The Western Anglican Church has rejected Christianity and embraced Marxism and the rest of the Left’s agenda. The leadership of the Church saw the closing as a threat, being damaging to Christianity, so had it reopened. Actually the threat was damage to the cathedral. Protecting historical property, or any property for that matter, is a wise thing to do; especially if people camped on your steps are anti-Christian and anti-property. Of course London government, like Paris’ government, and the most of the leadership of the Episcopal Church, are more interested in embracing and practicing Leftist ideology that embracing Jesus Christ. The Episcopal Church by the way, is in dire straights, there being a huge split between those that want to adhere to the Word of God and Christian beliefs and those that want to put that second to Leftist secular political and socio-cultural ideology.

The Catholic Church is also playing with Leftist secular political, socio-cultural ideology. The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace published a document, ”Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” advocating for the international redistribution of wealth and an international global authority to control the flow of money, overriding national economic sovereignty. Supposedly this would create a moral and ethical guide to economics. Really and truly? Good grief. International socialism is the answer? Not God? There’s no way international leaders that hate Christianity would be guided by ethics and moral laid out in Judeo-Christian Scripture. Their scripture is the Communist Manifesto.

Coptic Christians in Egypt are fleeing and being murdered. No word from the Islamist supporting President of the United States.

Back to atheists’ antics in this country, there was a brush up in the town of Whiteville, TN. There was a cross on the top of a water tower that upset them. Don’t understand why; it represents something that doesn’t exist. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) had brought suit, and the town couldn’t afford the legal battle. The mayor was going to move the cross to another location, but instead had one of the arms cut off so it was no longer a cross. Hoot! The citizens liked this so much, hundreds of crosses have popped up all over town on private property and now they’re everywhere. The intolerant bigots of the FFRF have withdrawn their lawsuit. Freedom from religion; who's making them worship, pray, convert, believe? Seems they're already free from religion. 

Bigotry and hated against Christians is on the rise while Islamists are given a pass. Governments support anti-Semitism and anti-Christianity. Reason being governments need to take religion, especially Christianity, out of the equation because we are to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and God what is His. Governments want everything rendered unto them and only them. I’m saddened the Episcopal  Church, the Catholic Church and so many of the Protestant Denominations (including the national leadership of my own First Christian Church [Disciples of Christ]) embrace Marxism, Liberation Theology, and the acceptance of cultural and social mores antithetical to Jesus and the Apostle Paul’s teachings.

Mark Levin - John Boehner Being Successful at Undermining Conservatives Voted Into House Last Election

Boenhner is moving toward a "balanced" budget amendment that does not cap federal spending to a percent of the GDP and lacks taxation limitations. RINO's and Dems love this idea.

http://youtu.be/pRNC3i9cMKE

Horrible and scary point here is leading the Republican Party is RINO Boenhner in the House, RINO O'Donnell in the Senate, and if Romney wins we'll have a trifecta of RINO's and things will remain the same. Obama and Dem lite...same results, slower pace.

Don’t dis them that brung ya to the dance

If you are against Christianity, yet care about children, charity, humanity, love, the old, the homeless, and the sick, why?

Secularists, in whatever form, anti-traditionalists, atheists, communists, statists, pagans, all claim to be charitable, care about the sick, the disabled, the mentally ill and the rest, at the same time saying hateful things about Christians. I’ve been reading quite a bit lately about the ancient world, especially about the ancient Mediterranean; their beliefs and behaviors.

In the pagan world infanticide, murder, slavery, letting the sick, poor, old people and children just die because of they were of no value or use, was the way of philosophy and life. Women had fewer rights than male slaves.

We in the West have the opposite view and practices. It all began because of what Jesus taught. Jesus Christ said to let the children come to Him, “Jesus took children in his arms and blessed them. ‘Let the children come to me; do not hinder them.’ . . . And He took them in His arms and blessed them, laying His hands on them.”   Even the Disciples were against this. Children at that time were seen as a burden, another mouth to feed. Girl babies were often left to die or outright killed right after birth, and any baby not seen as fully healthy was killed. Many were abandoned. As a result, over the centuries, abandoned children were taken care of by Christians. Christians created orphanages or cared for them in their own homes (precursor of the foster care system) rather than buy into the notion that children were of no value. Those against Christianity will point out all the failings of orphanages and foster care. I can only suppose then they approve of leaving abandoned children to die.

Leaving children to die, not seeing the worth and sanctity of human life extended to all people. Life had no value. Murder was acceptable. Infanticide was acceptable. Abortion (as it is now) was acceptable; thousands were slaughtered in the arenas of the Roman Empire, and human sacrifice was acceptable all over the world. Jesus taught all life was sacred. This was antithetical to the pagan beliefs of the time. Secularists and atheists claim to care for people. This is a Christian belief. Secularists and atheists being true to their rejection of Christianity, to be true to their beliefs, would advocate for murder, infanticide and human sacrifice.

Before Christianity marriage was for political and child bearing reasons. Men wanted an heir, and women’s purpose was to have babies. They were baby factories with no rights. Unmarried women were often, if not usually, prostitutes. Temples were glorified brothels filled with prostitutes. Jesus had many women followers, cared and ministered to them against the norms of His society. Jesus had women spread the news of His Resurrection. The early church met primarily in homes, usually run by women. In that society, such things were just not allowed. Women weren’t even allowed to speak in public, but in Christian services they were. Are atheists and secularists for the abuse of women, forcing them to be silent, forcing them into prostitution?

Marriage was not between equals in pagan society as it is now. Based on Jesus’ teachings, the Apostle Paul wrote extensively about the equality of women in marriage, that men should love and listen to their women, should share equally in the marriage. Divorce then was a one way street. The man could just throw his wife out on the street with no possessions or money; that was divorce. A husband could commit adultery as long as it wasn’t with another man’s wife. Not out of any concern for the wife, but because the wife was property, and adultery was using (stealing) another man’s property. Plus there were plenty of prostitutes around, so it was just insulting to use another’s wife.

Slavery was the social norm of the day. It was until the 19^th century. It was Christians, using the teachings of Apostle Paul and Jesus that put into practice the notion that we are all created in God’s image, so all equal before Him, and so to each other. In pagan times one was free man or slave (or woman). It was Christians that fought to free slaves all over the world. Do atheists and secularists endorse slavery, or embrace the Christian belief and practice that men are equal and slavery is evil.

There was no such thing as charity and compassion. There was no caring for the sick, poor, or homeless. If one were in such a condition, it was punishment from the gods. Based on Jesus’ teaching, Apostle Paul said, “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others”. At that time looking after others was thought of as useless and a waste. The thinking of the time was that the poor and sick should be left to die if they can’t work. They weren’t worthy of help. Jesus showed compassion for the sick and poor. If atheists and secularists so reject Christianity, then they reject the notion of caring for the sick and poor, like those before Christianity did.

There were not charitable organizations before Christianity introduced them. There wasn’t any charity at all. Jesus said, “Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” An absolute contradiction to the mores of the time. Rejecting the teachings of Christianity, would secularists and atheists reject charities for the sick or the homeless, the poor?

Part of caring for the sick was the creation of hospitals, that didn’t exist in pagan times. Atheists and secularists accept this as just a part of modern society. Schools, the idea that everyone, even women, should be taught, regardless of class or ethnicity, was a Christian development and practice. Before Jesus Christ, education was only for the sons of free men. There was of course push back against this, even among Christians, but the idea became the reality we have today.

Art, music, architecture, literature all benefitted and improved as a result of Christianity. That’s a whole other posting. My point here is atheists and secularists all embrace, practice and benefit from the beliefs and sacrifices of Christians. Maybe they should reconsider their wholesale attack on Christianity since it is what gives them their own sense of humanity, care, compassion and love. Such things did not exist before Jesus Christ. Don’t dis them that brung ya to the dance.

Yet Another Example of Leftist Antisemitism From Occupy Wall Street Protest

I've been writing for some time that it's the Left that's Antisemitic, not the Right. Another Example.

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/ows-supporter-rants-against-israel-jews

Using Jesus Christ as a Political Pawn

I’m fed up with the What Would Jesus Do question, or who would Jesus support politically. Christ’s message was not political. We don’t know what Jesus would do; it’s all projection of modern intellect on a simple message. Applying Christ to politics is especially grievous when applied by anti-Christian bigots, atheists, and Marxists.

The Washington Post has a column “On Faith”, which isn’t often on Faith, but pokes holes Christian thought, and demeans Christians. Occasionally they get something right, but not often. Lisa Miller asks the question "Jesus at Occupy Wall Street: 'I feel like I've been here before." As she walks through the park where the “Occupy” protesters have “camped out”, she describes tents, scruffy people, a communal kitchen and the generally dirty, nasty condition these people have chosen to live in; voluntary squalor.

Miller suggests Jesus would side with these people against successful producers.

“Jesus gave preferential treatment to society’s outcasts. Lepers, tax collectors, prostitutes — all would attain heaven before the ordained elites. Jesus believed that God was about to right the world’s wrongs with a great upheaval — soon — and at that time, a radical reversal of the social order would occur. As he says in the gospels, the meek will inherit the earth.”

Equating suffering people that are sick, poor, dying, suffering from any maladies, to mostly middle class protesters with high end electronics and clothes is not even a comprehensible comparison. As for the “meek” part, these people are aggressive and want to overthrow the economic system and government, violently if they can. Miller doesn’t understand what Jesus was talking about when he spoke of the meek. The Hebrew word for “meek” means “to be molded”. Jesus was saying this referring back to the psalmist who wrote in the 37^th Psalm, “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness, delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him.” Being meek means committing and submitting to God and letting Him mold you. Let God guide your purpose in life. Psalms 24 tells us “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof”. When you are full of God, and submitted to Him, then you are meek, and then you inherit the earth; God's earth.

This has nothing to do with the materialistic Marxist view Miller and the protesters have, and what they are demanding. They are demanding the material things the producers have gotten as a result of risk and hard work. Watching and listening to them and their supporters, there is no call for salvation or submitting to God’s will; only the demand for the “things” of this world those others have.   

These people reject God, don’t recognized Christ as Savior, attack and demean Christians regularly. Using Him as a political prop is vile and revolting, dishonest and hypocritical. Jesus said render under Caesar what is Caesar’s, and God what is God’s. These people want God out of the equation and have all rendered to Caesar; then have Caesar to provide for them. They don’t want to submit to God, be meek to His will, they want others to be meek and submit to them.

"I believe all the choices we've made have been the right ones ..." Barry "Urkle" Obama

That being the case, then these must have been the right results he was wanting.

The number of citizens dropping below the government’s recognized poverty level went from 39.8 million in January 2008 to 43.6 million in 2010.

Unemployment has gone from 5.27% from the time he took office to 9.34% now.

Non-Defense spending has gone from 15.6% of GDP to 19.6 % since he’s taken office.

In January 2009 the average weeks of unemployment was 19.9 weeks and has risen to 40.3 weeks.

Median yearly income in 2008 was $52,029 and has fallen to $49,445.

In 2008 average health insurance premiums were $12,680 and have risen to $15,073.

Inflation rate in 2008 was 0.03% and is now 3.77%. Plus there’s the hidden inflation. The amount of product put in containers has gone down while the price has gone up.

Number of people on food stamps in January 2008 was 31.9 million citizens, now has risen to 45.2 million. First female ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and anti-capitalist millionaire, corruptocrat Harry “Dusty” Reid and a whole host of Democrats have stated that people spending food stamps (EBT’s now) is a boost to the economy. The also say that unemployed citizens spending their unemployment checks is a boost to the economy. 

A gallon of gas in January 2009 cost $1.82 and has risen to $3.66.

In the first quarter of 2009 the average home was worth $180,449 and has fallen to $171,900.

Since he’s made all the right decisions, these must be the results he wanted and expected.

Romney Uses Leftist Slime Tactics Against Perry

I'm terrified the early caucus states will vote Romney, following the usual Republican trend of selecting the next in line endorsed by the Rockefeller wing of the Party and we Conservatives will be forced to vote for him. He will no doubt be an improvement over Obama, but not by much. He's pro-global warming alarmist, pro-government controlled healthcare, and thinks it's okay to cave, compromise and "get along" with the Statist Democrats. He is not a Conservative, he's Democrat Lite, a RINO of the worst sort. This vid attack ad on Perry is yet another example of Romney's Leftist leanings, using their tactic of just piling on lies, slimming and smearing.


http://youtu.be/sNn56Cr98qE

There is not one truth in this, and no, I don't support Perry. I did, but he let his media "handlers" control him and he quit speaking accomplishments, his record and how he'll apply it at the national level. He comes across as false and untrustworthy as a result. And yes, debate ability is important. Many citizens aren't going to pay attention before the presidential debates, the moderators are all going to be Leftist spokesmen for Obama and the Democrat Party. The Republican nominee has to be able and willing to expose them for what they are as well as pound Obama's willingness and desire to crush the US economy and make us a second rate country.  

Obama Compares Wall Street Protesters to TEA Party... Clueless Ideologue

http://youtu.be/-pIkb8YyPWY

No he doesn't understand the frustrations. He understands his own frustrations because he's found out that he can't impose his statist ideology on a nation that for the most part embraces liberty and not obedience to the State. He expressed nothing similar to this when the TEA Party went to town hall meetings, questioned their representatives, redressed their grievances, and voted for people that would better represent their interests. It was all peaceful except when Democrat sponsored union thugs invaded and tried to start fights. At rallies and protests, peace and friendliness, and trash was put in the proper receptacles. The result was over 60 seats gained in the House and a couple in the Senate.

Conversely, the Wall Street Occupy whine fest, have cost $millions for security, police and cleanup. There has been shitting on police cars and the American flag. There have been hundreds of arrests. There have been clashes with the police. There has been rape. There has been massive amounts of thefts. There have been a lot of anti-Semitic signs and rants. Perverts exposing themselves to children. Public sex and nudity. They have been endorsed by the American Nazi Party, American Socialist Party, Communist Party USA, and the Iranian government and the Democrat Party.

I heard an interview with a woman that owns a restaurant across the street from the OWS occupiers. Her business is down over 40%, her deliveries have stopped because her suppliers are afraid to go there. She said the protesters come in to use her bathroom, and when she says it's for paying customers, she's been pushed out of the way and spit on. The police won't do anything to protect her. Some of her regular customers have contacted her and said when they've tried to get to her restaurant the police wouldn't let them past the barricade. Police protecting and supporting spoiled whiners advocating the violent overthrow (31% of them) of the government. Backasswards.

If I Were a Liberal\Democrat I Would Be Concerned Because This Is What the Democrat Party Represents

I've written many times on this blog the Left, officially represented by the Democrat Party, is racist, homophobic and violent. There are vids of Pelosi, Reid and Obama making supporting statements of the "Occupy" protests. This is born out by the vids below, taken during the "Occupy Wall Street" and the other offshoot "Occupy" protests than sprang up the past week. Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other Democrat leaders that called the TEA Party violent and racist support these knuckleheads. TEA Party protests had mom and dad in Docker khaki's and sundress with little daughter or son that picked up the trash and put it in the proper receptacle. There were no clashes with the police, no breaking into buildings, no public defecation, no fights, no destruction of property, no arrests. The Leftists and Dems are against civil, legal behavior and support the kind of behavior shown below.

Palin Derangement Syndrome So Strong Leftest Commentator Uses Steve Jobs Eulogy to Trash Palin

Here's a proper eulogy.

Our Anti-Christian, Anti-Catholic (Specifically) Administration

It’s not enough that we have an anti-Semitic Executive Branch, but it’s also virulently anti-Catholic specifically and anti-Christian generally. The Obama Administration is violating the Constitution (which it has done on several occasions) by not acknowledging the Establishment Clause, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

The Administration is using Health and Human Services (HHS) to shut down Catholic institutions. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act., aka Obamacare, requires all health plans pay for contraceptives, sterilizations and information on how to use both. Catholics of course don’t use contraceptives and sterilization, and their institutions certainly don’t want to be advocates for them.

The Administration claims the Catholic Church can opt out. The catch to that is the organization can do so only when it serves its own group pretty much exclusively. Catholic services such as foster care, adoption, feeding the poor and now health care, serve much more than that, any they don’t only hire Catholics to provide these services. Since that’s the situation, the Catholic Church is being forced to make a decision to obey the government or suspend these services. If the Catholic Church were to restrict itself to only serving and employing Catholics, one can only imagine the hue and cry of bigotry and exclusion.

This intervening of the government into religious practices extends into marriage. Current pushes by government to make homosexual marriage acceptable, against the wishes of a majority of Americans, forces the hand of not just the Catholic Church but Protestant ones too. This Administration no longer supports the “Defense of Marriage Act”, that marriage is between a man and a woman. Archbishop Timothy Dolan wrote a letter to the President expressing his concern the Administration no longer supports marriage being between a man and a woman. He states:

“…This past spring the Justice Department announced that it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court, a decision strongly opposed by the Catholic Bishops of the United States and many others.  Now the Justice Department has shifted from not defending DOMA—which is problem enough, given the duty of the executive branch to enforce even laws it disfavors—to actively attacking DOMA’s constitutionality.
“…That is why it is particularly upsetting, Mr. President, when your Administration, through the various court documents, pronouncements and policies identified in the attached analysis, attributes to those who support DOMA a motivation rooted in prejudice and bias.  It is especially wrong and unfair to equate opposition to redefining marriage with either intentional or willfully ignorant racial discrimination, as your Administration insists on doing.
Full letter here.

By engaging in these acts of government regulations of what the Church can and cannot do, in violation of the Constitution, the Obama Administration can effectively shut them down or force them to comply in contradiction to the teachings, traditions, values and beliefs of the Catholic Church specifically and Christians generally. The government mandate is jettison your Faith and obey the government, or they shut you down. The bigotry against Christianity is so deep in government that they would rather see the poor not served, those hurting not helped, than them being disobeyed. The essence of this is the government must shut down Christianity to ensure they replace God with themselves to be obeyed and worshipped. This historically has been the modus operandi of every totalitarian government. 

Those Violent Conservatives and Republicans: From Then to Now

The overwhelming Leftist propaganda of the Democrat Party and Jurassic Press astoundingly goes unchallenged by Conservatives and the Republican Party.

Just look and them good ol’ Dem Southern Boys. 40% of the House Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act, and 80% of Republicans voted for it. The Dems also filibustered a civil rights act in 1957 that was passed by Republicans and Republican President Eisenhower signed it.

The most powerful political leaders opposed to school integration were Orval Faubus, Democrat Governor of Arkansas, George Wallace, Democrat Governor of Alabama and Lester Maddox, Democrat Governor of Georgia. Faubus is the Democrat racist that used police to block a school to keep Black kids out. It was Republican President Eisenhower that forced Faubus’ hand and got the schools integrated.

Democrat Racist Hugo Black was appointed to the Supreme Court. His rise to judicial power was the result of defending Klansmen. Klansmen by the way beat up Republicans for not going along with their Racist terrorist ways. Dems understand terrorism from the inside, since the Klan was a Democrat terrorist group.

There was Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV, a Klan official. There was Senator Ernest Hollings, D-SC who was instrumental in the fight against integration.

It was the Republican Party that fought for and won the fight to free the slaves. In the 1920’s the Republican’s regularly had anti-lynching legislation opposed by Democrats.

Rhetorical question. How come when white Dems attack Black conservatives like Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, or Ward Connerly they aren’t being attacked as racist?

On to violence, which Dems and the Jurassic Press keep reporting is the domain of Republicans, Conservatives, and TEA Party supporters.

The riots of the 1960’s, the Democratic Convention, the race riots. Think any of them were Republican or Conservatives?

Who is that takes to the streets and destroys $millions worth of property? Conservatives or Leftists? Former Sec of Defense Rumsfeld was doing a book signing in Boston a few days ago and was attacked. Group of people were calling him a war criminal, chanting, “Hey Rumsfeld you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide.” Can you guess if they were Conservatives or Leftists? Are you aware of any Conservatives attacking a Leftist at a book signing?

Groups of people regularly go to the homes of judges and politicians, protesting a decision, or to a politician that voted on something they didn’t like. Are these people Conservatives or Leftists? Aware of any Conservative groups going to the homes of Leftist judges or politicians and protesting?

There’s been a bunch of people on Wall Street this past week, recently visited by the fat communist filmmaker Michael Moore, that has made $millions being a capitalist. There have been some arrests; fighting with police ‘n stuff while claiming to be a peaceful protest. Just to make a point about the Jurassic Press here, a reporter for the Leftist NY Times and Politico (reportedly a freelance “journalist”), Natasha Lennard, got arrested too. She was protesting with this group against Wall Street and Capitalism while reporting on it. Wonder if there were Conservatives there? Communist and Racist and alleged professor of something, Cornell West, egged these protesters on calling for revolution. Not the kind brought about by voting either. Think any of those people are Conservatives or Republicans?

The occupation of the Wisconsin Capital building this past summer, which caused about $7 million in damages, was done by government employees because they were asked to pay a little more (still less than those of us in the private sector) for their own Healthcare and Retirement programs. Want to guess if the occupiers were Leftists or Conservatives?

Then in Seattle, 500 longshoremen stormed the docks beating up people and even taking hostages. An additional 1,000 longshoremen shut down other docks. The kerfuffle wasn’t because of an issue with management, but because another union was chosen to do the work on a new project. Think any of these guys are Republicans or Conservatives?

How about the violent rhetoric of our uber partisan president?

 “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”

 “Get in Their Faces!”

 “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”

 “Hit Back Twice As Hard”

 “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.”

  …Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”

 “It’s time to Fight for it.”

 “Punish your enemies.”

 “I’m itching for a fight.”

He’s talking about people that don’t want him raising taxes and increasing the debt. He's talking about people that won’t vote for him, that don’t support him. Ever hear a Republican president talk this way? Could you imagine that above the fold howling condemnation?  This guy recently said of those opposing his demand for tax hikes, then “We’re gonna have problems”. Sounds like a threat to me. Could you imagine the howling of the Jurassic Press if a Republic president said he would punish those that oppose him?

I’ve chronicled, most especially since the Arizona shooting by an apolitical crazy man, all the violence of the Left, supported by the Democrat Party. Remember they immediately came out saying it was a result of violent Conservative, Republican and TEA Party rhetoric.  It’ll get worse too. Dems are facing a political loss next year that will dwarf what happened this past November. There will be more of the kind of thing like Racist and Communist Maxine Waters telling TEA Party members and supporters to go to hell. There’ll be more of union thugs like Hoffa that thundered, “Let’s take these sons a bitches out”, referring to TEA Party members and supporters, Conservatives and Republicans. Rhetorical content has much to do with the speaker; so when a union thug says….

Got to agree with Breitbart's response to these thugs:

The Left is violent historically, The Bolshevik Revolution and how they stayed in power, and were supported by the American Left. The Maoist Revolution and how they stayed in power. The Nazi’s and how they stayed in power, and forget about even mentioning Nazi’s are “right wing”…they were a Socialist party. How Castro got and stayed in power. The American Left will get nosier and more violent, increasing all the way to the election. If the Whitehouse sees a Republican voted in expect the streets to erupt. There’s only half a dozen, if that, of Senate seats that need to be won for Republicans to control that chamber. The vitriolic rhetoric, hate speech and violence will get worse. It’ll be reported in the Jurassic Press that it’s the Republicans’ fault.

Republicans and Conservatives need to start now with a campaign, and repeat it ad nauseam, about the history of violence, bigotry, anti-Semitism, racism, hatred and intolerance of the Left, and how it’s being expressed in the here and now. It needs to be graphic with lots of pictures and Democrats saying racist and anti-Semitic things. They need to run ads over and over of the Democrat’s voting against Civil Rights and Integration. Unceasingly.
