HIstory Repeats Itself (Obama Just Doesn't Get It)

Passing this along - great message:

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURC H SERVICE

STIMULUS SERMON Genesis 47:13-27 I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is....It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years. ---------------------------------------------------Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27. Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ....(reading)... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray... So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again. So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year.. But the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain. What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters? That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master? Yes. But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen .. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one. We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth "once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders. What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"? Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will. Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day." And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government. In God We Trust...

One Step Closer to the Governmental Apocalypse - No More Choice

Just another nail in the coffin holding Free Choice with the Senate vote 60-39 on Health Care - soon there will be nothing left, that will give future researchers any evidence that this was once a proud example of Capitalism & Free Choice - The Senate and House will pass this disgusting piece of legislation, which promised Health Care for All (and doesn't do any of that) - the thought police will run rampant, as more words will be twisted to fit the premise the Government is good and good and can only be achieved by Government, since it's good - love the circular argument, saddened by the demise of original thought, with this mandate that requires Americans buy insurance - please show me where in the Constitution this exists? - but don't let the Democrats allow you the rain on their parade - if planned carefully, this package will finally pass around Mayday (isn't that when the communist countries have their celebrations - no we are ONE - the first major step for the New World Order - I had always thought that was just conspiracy theory, but today - this adds to ample evidence that it is true) - We don't need Santa, government has just handed out gifts to special interests and political cowards, with all of us picking up the tab (luckily the debt ceiling has been raised to 12.9 trillion - while Obama announces that this will reduce the deficit).

From our friends at the Wall Street Journal Blog - a breakdown of the numbers in this political power grab:

"The Senate just passed its version of the health-care bill by a vote of 60-39. Over the next month or so, the Senate and House will try to work out the differences between the bills.
Here’s a quick overview of some of the key effects of the Senate bill, based on estimates from CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation for the years 2010-2019.
$395 billion in federal spending to expand the number of people covered by Medicaid and CHIP, insurance programs for the poor.
$436 billion in federal spending pay for health-insurance exchanges that would largely be used by people who don’t get health insurance through work. Most of that money would be in the form of subsidies for insurance premiums for people earning up to four times the poverty level.
$398 billion in new taxes. That includes the tax on high-value health-insurance plans, new fees on health insurers and drug and device makers, and higher payroll taxes for high earners.
$483 billion in cuts to projected spending for Medicare and other programs. This includes reductions in projected costs for privately administered Medicare Advantage programs and a new formula likely to lower annual increases in payments to hospitals.
31 million additional people would have health insurance by 2019 because of the bill.
23 million people in this country would still be uninsured."

So you know who to vote out in the next election - we've had historic votes in the past, but they were reached in a Bi-partisan manner - this was a disgusting power grab by the Democrats who see government as the solution, ultimately removing all options and choices, so that right or wrong, government is your only choice. The hypocrites, the supposed moderate Democrats who voted only after the gifts handed to them by the Democratic leadership - fortunately, we will remove many of them in 2010, but unfortunately, the damage has been done - and most of the American people will wake up far too late.

Sarah Palin: A True Libertarian!

I've always been a supporter of the Great Man: Ronald Reagan - his principles which he never wavered from, allowed America to stand tall in the world, through the emphasis on less government, less taxes and more liberty! I believe there is a new leader to take the mantle that is tragically left wanting ever since the Great Man passed away: Sarah Palin!

She has taken on the forces that have set out to destroy her, and our way of life, and they would have succeeded with any lesser person would have given up - but she marches forward - below is a message I sent to her facebook page, and I recommend you join her page as well - as a true libertarian with Reagan's values and Patriotic values:

"Congrats Sarah, keep fighting the good fight - with rumors swirling about possible political endeavors, I feel the Republican establishment has done everything it can, to muffle your voice, as demonstrated with the 2008 election - your voice speaks to the independents/those who don't identify as republicans and democrats - though many of the rank in file supported you - if you do consider a run - and we've all heard the independent/third party trial balloons being voiced in the media, please consider the Libertarian Party - when you were announced as a candidate for VP, my first thought was "finally, the libertarian on the ticket." God Bless, and best of luck, whatever you decide to do - you have my vote!"

Here's hoping the Sarah continues to blaze her own path, and I have to believe that the Great Man is looking down and smiling!
