Regarding the "so called" economic crisis that caused massive job losses. There is a MUCH cheaper way to fix all this mess. I received an email the other day that answers this...
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” ? Woodrow Wilson
He may think he's speaking of himself.. but I believe he is even more fearful of our God as he thinks many are afraid of him.
VIDEO: Did you know this was taken out of our children's history books?
Dear Mr. President Clinton, There is' about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million dollars apiece severance pay with these stipulations;
- They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
- They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
- They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
Have you see in the news where the A C L U doesn't want any crosses on Federal Property?
I don't think this is going to go over well.

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good" but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism; We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism; We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle; We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery; We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare; We have killed our unborn and called it choice; We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable; We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem; We have abused power and called it politics; We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition; We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression; We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will, we ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, there were logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on "The Rest of the Story" on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called one nation under God.
Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." These men and women in our government both federal and local HAVE BEEN CREATED TO BE OUR LEADERS! So, we must ALL pray for them. They have been ordained by our God to stand in the positions they stand in. Pray that they have the wisdom to do exactly as they have been created to do. And remember, some WILL continue to do evil, just as sure as some will continue to do good.
As we all know, there have already been laws enacted that go directly against the will of the Creator God. Many of them were mentioned in the above prayer. As Christians we are aware that even though our government says it is "ok" to kill a baby, or it's ok to drink alcohol, we must not allow the "laws of the land" to undermine, or go against, the Law of God. So, remember, even though our government may say it is ok to sin, we know better simply because we have the Creator's Word on it. And as Christians, we must not allow the legalization of sin to draw us away from our Creator. Stand frim in the Lord, and stand firm as an American. However, when the laws of the land go against the Law of the Lord. Remember...
"For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."- Isaiah 9:16
"...We ought to obey God rather than men." -Acts 5:29
Clinton's campaign was one that was unmistakably pro-abortion. Plus Clinton initiated partial birth abortions in his term of office as President. Were you also aware he "said" he was against abortion when he was governor? Truth is, politicians will only speak as that which will benefit themselves!
Below are a few pics to help convince you how hard we need to pray for our leaders. Many of them are totally unaware of just how evil things are.
Washington DC seen from above. Without realizing it, it appears as normal streets and avenues. However...
The White House makes up the southern most tip of the pentagram.
The White House makes up the southern most tip of the pentagram.
Here is a Lansat satellite image of the White House and surrounding northern area.
Pentagram - Symbolizes the morning star, a name satan has taken. Used in witchcraft and occult rituals to counjure up evil spirits. (sacred heart in Rock music.)
Notice the Luciferian Masonic symbols as well.
Interesting FACT. Did you know that EVERY Pentagram has a PENTAGON in it? The 5 sides of a Pentagon is actually associated with the Occult god of WAR! Now you know why the U.S. Department of Defense is located in a PENTAGON!
Do you see the "bunny ears" depicted in the irregular shapes of the culdesacs at the eastern most side of the Capital? If you notice the pic above with the Masonic square and compass you can picture a stick figure drawing of the "bunny's" body. This representation is very important, as it was the method by which ancient Satanist drew Satan. They would draw a huge bunny head, and then attach it to a stick figure body.
On the back of our American money we see the eye of Horus wit the message "New order of the ages" or "New World Order" in Latin. This "Third Eye" ( with or without the bottom portion of the pyramid) - Believed to be the eye of Lucifer and those who claim control of it have control of world finances. Used in divination, hexes, curses, psychic control and all corruption are worked through this emblem.
The "obelisk / phallic" symbol is one of the most important symbols to the occultist. It is graphically important because they believe that the spirit of the ancient Egyptian sun god, Ra, resides within it. This sun god is defined in Scriptures as SATAN!
Interesting FACT: Did you know that if you Add its height of 555 feet, plus width of base 55.5 feet, plus length of base 55.5 feet, it actually totals 666 feet. This is Washington D.C.'s way of displaying their approval of the 666 god of Hell. Rome does it in Mitres' paintings, carvings, and engravings. Even Satanic gropus that "try" to be clever in hiding it will tag walls in the inner city. They usually disguise it by tagging "FFF" instead of "666." Why? "F" is the 6th letter of the Alphabet. Childish yes, but effective none the less.
Who is this woman?
Drag your mouse over her to see where she resides.
Officials named her Freedom because her classical identity, Persephone, was meaningless to most Americans. Persephone was a Graeco-Roman goddess abducted by Saturn’s son Hades, who enthroned her as queen-consort of his dominion, the underworld. She rules over the earth’s interior, particularly the metals and minerals.
Like the Vatican, Washington DC is literally drenched with Satanic symbolism throughout. Everything from the massive phallic symbol of the Washgton monument, to the ancient stick drawings of Satan in the lanscape around the United States Capital. Prophecy declares this land to be the home of the "lamb horned beast" of Revelation that gives power unto the beast in the Vatican. So, PRAY! Not only for your loved ones trapped in Catholicism. But for our leaders that are totally unaware of what's going on around them.
Interesting FACTS linking Rome and Washington
Charles Pierre L’Enfant - City Planner for Washington D.C. - Roman Catholic
Daniel Carroll - One of three commissioners appointed by President George Washington to survey and acquire land for the new government. The land where the capitol building stands was donated by him. He was the brother of Archbishop John Carrol and was also Roman Catholic.
Charles Carroll - Wealthiest man in the colonies at the beginning of the American Revolution. A signer of the Declaration of Independence and in 1776 was appointed as one of a committee of three, along with Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase, to visit Canada to secure their alliance. His cousin Jesuit Father John Carroll, accompanied them. He was educated by Roman Catholic Jesuits.
Robert Brent - The first and appointed mayor of Washington D.C. A nephew of Bishop John Carroll, and was Roman Catholic.
Constantino Brumidi - Hired painter of occult pictures in the Capitol Dome. He came from Rome where he had gained a reputation for restoring the Vatican frescoes. He was Roman Catholic.
John Carroll - Became a Jesuit Father in 1753. Became the first Bishop of the hierarchy of U.S.A. and first Bishop and Archbishop of Baltimore Maryland. Founder of Jesuit Georgetown College 1789.
Interesting note: In 1669, the surrounding land which is now Washington D.C. belonged to a gentleman named Francis Pope, who called the area “Rome” and its river inlet “Tiber”. He was the sheriff of Charles County Maryland.

Words of our Christian ForeFathers!
Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of "The Declaration of Independence" were orthodox, deeply committed, Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention. It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society, immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks, the context of these words is omitted. Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.
Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator." He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.
On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: "It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation." Listen to these word of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our nation, on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free Institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. >From all these extracts from the Bible, I make no apology."
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Today, we are asking God to bless America. But, how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him? Prior to September 11, He was not welcome in America. Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots.
The Media in the USA has to be one of the most evil organizations known to man. for the sake of ratings, vote gathering, and of course the almighty dollar bill, they will seel their soul for what THEY feel is newsworthy. Or they will HIDE what they feel is not newsworthy. So much is not seen, and too much is seen at the same time. Read this letter Pat Boone sent off to CBS. This could make you think a bit more about the media if it hasn't already gotten to the point that digusts you! After reading this I think EVERYONE should contact CBS to let them know how horrendous their actions are! They are now boldly guilty of MURDER!
A letter from Pat Boone....
CBS and 60 Minutes Modern Benedict Arnolds
NewsMax
Monday, May 24, 2004Recently, entertainer Pat Boone wrote NewsMax editor Christopher Ruddy a letter regarding his feelings on Abu Ghraib and Iraq, the contents of which are published here with permission:
Mr. Christopher Ruddy
Editor, NewsMax
Dear Chris,Hasn't anybody got the guts to accuse the worst perpetrator in this whole Abu Ghraib prison debacle - CBS and 60 Minutes II?
What do you call it when, in time of war, someone takes military intelligence and turns it over to the enemy, who in turn uses it to kill Americans?
Isn't that the definition of treason? Did Benedict Arnold do worse? Did Julias and Ethel Rosenberg pay with their lives for something like this?
It has already been well established, and CBS certainly knew, that the military announced to the press back in January that allegations had been made concerning treatment of prisoners and were being investigated.
In March there was another announcement that the allegations were still being investigated and certain service personnel at Abu Ghraib were relieved of their duties and might be court marshaled.
In other words, while America was fighting a war, the military had already taken the allegations seriously, were investigating them and were taking steps to correct the situation. In other words, it was being handled, and handled well.
These things happen in war on all sides, and though they are not excusable, they are kindergarten exercises compared to car bombs, ambushes, rocket launchings and dangling burning bodies over bridges - and this is what the interrogators at Abu Ghraib were trying to find ways to stop.
Freedom of the press is precious to us, but you can abuse any liberty and stretch it out of shape until it becomes license, and concerned citizens will call for limitations.
In this case, if CBS had really cared about the country, about our military, about doing the right thing, they would have taken these pictures, (which they had illegally) and asked the military and the Pentagon what was being done about the abuses (Although they most likely knew it, they would have been told that the matter was in hand and being taken care of).
Indeed, a general implored them not to publish the pictures because of what he knew would happen as a result.
CBS could not have cared less.
In their mad competition for rating points, dollars, and seeing a great way to blast the President and the war effort in Iraq which they have continually denigrated and opposed, they broadcast the abhorrent pictures; and not just to the United States, BUT TO THE WORLD!
Knowing full well that we were walking a tight rope, trying to fight a war, quell disturbances and build a republic for Iraq in the midst of all the terrorist resistance, CBS published these abhorrent pictures knowing they would destroy completely our image and standing in the Muslim world.
And what about Osama bin Laden? What about the terrorists? What about America's image with all our allies around the world? And what about America's own self image and confidence in their leaders?
And what did the beheaders of Nick Berg say, just before they callously sawed his head off while he screamed, "This is in retaliation for what you Americans did to our people at Abu Ghraib!" And how did they know about these interrogation abuses?
Though poor Mr. Berg blames George Bush and Donald Rumsefld, it is incontrovertible that his son would be home with him right now had it not been for the publication of those pictures. Mr. Berg is pointing his finger in the wrong direction.
And as a direct result of CBS callous and patently unpatriotic action, America is suffering great loss of prestige around the world, and will for decades.
America has lost credibility with Muslims and the Arab world internationally, perhaps forever; and every American life is in far greater danger from terrorist reprisal, no matter who and where we are!
Freedom of the press is a cherished commodity, guaranteed by our Constitution. But freedoms, if they are to be maintained and to have the original meaning, must be treated with grave responsibility and restraint.
For me, CBS has become "the enemy within", and I hope never to watch the network again. I think most Americans ought to reflect on the results of their irresponsible and unpatriotic behavior and perhaps narrow their viewing options by one network. The next time America or Americans suffer at the hands of terrorists, thank CBS.

PICS OF MISSOURI STATE CAPITAL...
I love the irony of the ten commandments with the all seeing eye and the first commandment....
the sun and the zodiac symbols are in the rotunda of the captial, and are surrounded by their version of cherubim with some sort of shields on four sides. The capital itself has all kinds of mythical creatures and gods and gddesses all about the place.
Notice the sun and the zodiac symbols. The sun of course is depicted as the Pagan see it with the Phallic and Yonic symbols as rays of light. This is the ultimate stained glass window for the catholic or the Pagan is this! And it's right there in the Rotunda of the Missouri state capital building!
Here we see the "eye of horus" which is also on the back of the dollar bills. This "eye" is actually the eye of Satan himself. Strange how this would be on the state capital you say? Not at all. It shows a complete agreement with Roman theology of mixing "church" and state affairs. Problem is, that eye prove sit is the Satanic church they are members of.
Like all state captials, the Roman Rotunda is a must for any Pagan diety to be honored. What diety? Look at the top of that dome. Any guesses as to who it is in that statue?

Judge Roy Moore
Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.
America? the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain
From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray
We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:
Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee..
CHARLIE REESE'S FINAL COLUMN A GREAT READ!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gal l o f a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ...
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
