Obama Administration: Fifth columnists and useful idiots By Lawrence Sellin, PHD January 7th, 2015
Never in the course of American history has so much harm been done to so many by so few.
A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group such as a nation from within. The
activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine, using sabotage, disinformation or espionage
conducted to undermine a government or a country by agents or sympathizers, who act traitorously and
subversively out of a secret sympathy with an enemy.
A useful idiot is someone who supports one side of an ideological debate, but who is manipulated by
the leaders of their faction or is unaware of the ultimate agenda driving the ideology to which they
subscribe.
The term has been used in a similar sense as fellow travelers, communist sympathizers in Western
countries, who blindly supported Lenin, Stalin and the totalitarian aims of the Soviet Union. The
implication was that, although the people in question naïvely thought of themselves as standing for
an altruistic socialist cause, they were actually held in contempt and were being cynically used by
the Communist Party of Soviet Union for subversive activities in their native Western countries.
Today, useful idiot or "Obama groupie" largely refers to naive, misinformed or willfully ignorant liberals,
leftists or Islamist sympathizers dominating academia, the media and Hollywood.
Together with the assistance of fifth columnists, useful idiots and compliant Republicans, Barack
Obama is succeeding to fundamentally transform the United States of America and reshape our position in the world...

Is Rudy Guiliani Today's Winston Churchill? By Jesse Lee Peterson February 18th, 2015
“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.” – Winston Churchill
Rudy Giuliani – aka “America’s Mayor” – is getting crucified in the media for stating the obvious
about Barack Hussein Obama: 1) He doesn’t love America, and 2) He was raised with socialist and
communist roots.
The media and the White House are going nuts, and Republican operatives are running for cover. It’s
so predictable.
There’s no disputing that Barack Obama’s mother and grandfather were socialist and communist
sympathizers. His biological father and stepfather were both Muslims. Communist Frank Marshall
Davis mentored Obama. And Obama studied and taught “Rules for Radicals” author Saul Alinksy’s tactics
in Chicago as a “community organizer.”
We also know the media covered up for Obama – they had to, or he would never have been elected.
So the New York Daily News and its recent cover story (“Shocking New Rudy Spin: Obama Grew Up a
Communist”) is a damnable lie. Just what exactly is Rudy’s “spin”? In an effort to destroy the
messenger, this contemptible “news outlet” also published an article attacking Giuliani’s personal life.
But that’s just how the “mainstream” media roll... Read more here...
The “Jobs For Jihad Delinquents” Program By Michelle Malkin February 18th, 2015
At the White House Summit on Extremism That Shall Remain Unspecified Because Violent Followers
Belonging To Unnamed Extremist Movement Might Take Extreme Offense And Act Extremely, the feds are
touting a groundbreaking new strategy to fight terrorists.
Just kidding. It’s actually the same old futile strategy that big-government liberals use to cure
everything: mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money.
Instead of killing jihadists, keeping them off of our soil, locking up their poisonous spiritual
agitators and shutting off their terror-funding pipelines, President Obama called on America and the
world to “invest” in unnamed immigrant “communities” vulnerable to unnamed extremism. Some of the
most generous welfare states on the planet have suffered horrific jihad attacks this year. Liberal
Denmark’s soft-on-jihad rehab program has been a disaster. But that hasn’t stopped State Department
spokes-babbler Marie Harf from mewling incessantly about “combating poverty” to combat ISIS.
Vice President Joe Biden opened the convention of jihad-coddlers on Tuesday by emphasizing the need for “respect” (cha-ching) and “a sense of community.” White House senior aides spoke generically about terrorists of “all shapes and sizes,” as they studiously avoided the precise nature and identity of the perpetrators of evil that precipitated the meeting.
Imam Obama comes out at the National Prayer Breakfast By Judy McLeod February 6th, 2015
We can hear it now, much closer than ever before, the Islamic call to prayer, not in the far away MidEast, but here in the villages, towns and
cities we call home.
We’ll be hearing it more often as it begins to drown out the peals of church bells, now that Barack Hussein Obama came out as Imam Obama at Thursday’
National Prayer Breakfast.
The president did not formally introduce himself as Imam Obama, not in so many words. That would have been too direct and up front, but he was suddenly
Imam Obama all the same.
“Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed
terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” Obama preached. “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”
The blame game he invokes for every situation this time went all the way back to over 700 years ago.
The Crusades and Inquisition, of course were fought to the death by two sides, but Imam Obama is simpatico to only one...

The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment By Jim Clifton February 3rd, 2015
None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly
out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as
unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%.
Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast
"falling" unemployment.
There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager:
If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted
as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.
Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and
are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%.
Few Americans know this.
There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as
well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.
And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more
than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship
they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing
the great American dream.
Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low
rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10
million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.
I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it." When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street
start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't
"feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class.

Obama Is Openly Colluding with the Enemy By James Lewis February 2nd, 2015
We are in the middle of a hot war in the Middle East, with constant terror attacks all over the world, including the United States, Europe, and Asia.
The enemy is called violent Islam, or radical Islam, or fascist Islam, or reactionary Islam, or merely "orthodox Islam."
We constantly waste time quibbling about the name. But we know the enemy by now.
(And yes, there are plenty of Muslims who want peace, but who are too scared to speak out, with some brave exceptions I mention below. As long as the
West colludes with violent Islam, peaceful Muslims will be too scared to speak out. As long as we fail to stand for freedom, we will be supporting the
worst of the worst, who always terrorize their own populations first.
For fifty years, Muslims did not actively practice jihad against the West – until Jimmy Carter betrayed our ally the shah of Iran, and therefore empowered
the first jihad-preaching Islamofascist regime in the world, the mullahcracy of Iran. Because Carter was the weak horse, millions of Muslims around the
world sensed a change in the wind – and that is why jihad is now breaking out all over.)
The single most shocking fact today is that the U.S. government, under President Obama, is constantly colluding with the enemy.
Check out of the facts for yourself. Don't take anybody's word for it. Make your own informed decision. This is a question not of opinion, but of fact...

Who is Natural Born, Who is Not? By Paul January 31st, 2015
Now that the Iowa Freedom Summit has officially kicked off the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, it’s time that, as a matter of party policy,
Republicans agreed on who is a natural born citizen and who is not. Three conservatives… Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA),
and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)… are prominently mentioned as potential candidates. But the question arises, are they eligible to serve?
And if not, are conservatives and Republicans willing to turn their backs on the U.S. Constitution, cloaking themselves in the specious argument that,
if the Democrats could get away with it for eight years, why shouldn’t they? In other words, are Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio supporters willing to make the
case that two wrongs make a right… the Constitution be damned?
If Republicans wish to avoid embarrassment and a potential constitutional crisis midway through a presidential campaign, party leaders would be well-advised
to resolve the question before the issue blows up in their collective faces. By doing so, they can kill two birds with one stone: 1) they can prove to the
American people that, unlike Democrats, Republicans still honor the words and the spirit of the U.S. Constitution, and 2) they can permanently stain the Obama
legacy by shining the light of day on his ineligibility… eight years too late, but better late than never.
Some Republicans may be foolish enough to think that Democrats, after nominating and electing an ineligible candidate in 2008 and again in 2012, would
hesitate to make a political issue out of the “natural born” status of Cruz, Jindal, or Rubio. Those who make that assumption simply don’t know Democrats.
As former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld remarked in his book, Rumsfeld’s Rules, “Never assume the other guy would never do something you would never do.”
When the Founders drafted Article II of the U.S. Constitution, they were highly concerned that the chief executive of the United States should not,
under any circumstance, be even remotely subject to or encumbered by foreign influences.
On July 25, 1787, John Jay, a member of the Continental Congress and the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court,...

Jindal Warns of Foreign 'Invasion,' 'Colonization' of America By Tad Cronin January 28th, 2015
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is a rare bird -- a politician who doesn't pull punches when talking about Islam or immigration.
It's hard to tell what sends the Left into orbit quicker, Jindal speaking truth about Islam or Jindal being a non-white Republican while he's doing it.
In any event, Jindal was on Family Research Council's "Washington Watch" on Tuesday when host Tony Perkins asked him about some of his previous remarks
regarding Islam.
Jindal didn't back down and reiterated his position that when Muslims, or any immigrants, come to America with no intention of adapting and every
intention of changing the country's values, then they pose a threat.
"One of the great things about America," Jindal said, "is it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five minutes or a hundred years, we have folks that
come here, want to be Americans. They join our military, they start companies, they work to create a better community. And that’s wonderful.
"What’s not acceptable is people that want to come and conquer us"...

Sarah Palin is Right: Go on Offense, Tout Conservatism By Lloyd Marcus January 29th, 2015
Forty years ago when my Aunt Nee was the pastor of the Holy Temple Church of Truth, an east Baltimore storefront, during testimony service Sister
Davis or Sister Cleary would spontaneously lead the tiny congregation in singing, “We're Livin' In the Last Days.” “They're calling wrong right.
They're calling right wrong. Surely, we're livin' in the last days!”
As I listened to Sarah Palin's speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit, I was elated that she once again displayed her exemplary leadership by not
joining the chorus of those on our side who believe touting true conservatism is a loser. Palin said we should expose the Left's false premises
and educate the public to the benefits and virtues of Conservatism. Wow! How simple and right on target is that?
Many Republicans believe we have lost the argument and the only way to win votes is to abandon core principles, surrender and campaign according
to the Left's/Democrats' false premises. In essence, they want the GOP to call wrong right and right wrong.
For example: Dems argue that requiring a photo ID to vote disenfranchises blacks...

An American Hero... and Obama By Lauri P. Regan January 20th, 2015
I walked out of the movie American Sniper with a heavy heart. The senseless murder of Chris Kyle at the hands of a fellow veteran is a tragedy.
But it is also appalling that the Obama administration chose to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a war that Kyle helped to win.
Obama’s disdain for our veterans who have given life and limb and heart and soul to protect their country and its freedoms has been apparent
for years. His assault on the military would be horrible at any time, but in the midst of war, it is criminal. General Jerry Boykin observed,
I think that one of the things that people are not paying enough attention to is the destruction of our military… our military is being devastated
at the same time that all of our enemies, all of our potential adversaries are ramping up…. Our military’s been at war for 13 years. Our military is broken.
They’re tired. Suicide is at an all-time high. PTSD is rampant and families are falling apart at the seams….
The latest Military Times survey indicates that Obama’s popularity -- never high to begin with -- has crumbled, falling from 35 percent in 2009 to
just 15 percent this year, while his disapproval ratings have increased to 55 percent from 40 percent over that time.
While the survey reveals that military members take issue with Obama’s lack of leadership in the foreign policy arena including removing all troops from
Iraq leading to the rise of ISIS, they also take issue with his “heavy-handed social engineering that erode deep-seated traditions and potentially
undermine good order and discipline.”
Obama has also “purged” the military of commanders with whom he disagrees...

How the ObamaCare Death Panel Defies the Constitution By Peter J. Ferrara January 7th, 2015
Former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), i.e. ObamaCare, “We have to pass the bill
so that you can find out what is in it.” That has turned out to be so true. We did have to pass it to find out that what Sarah Palin said
about it was right after all.
The Death Panel in Obamacare is named the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). What the law says about the powers of IPAB is horrific,
worthy of a Third World, authoritarian autocracy, rather than the world’s leading democratic republic.
The Goldwater Institute, a free market think tank in Phoenix, Arizona, is suing to have IPAB declared unconstitutional. Last November 5, they
filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari asking the Supreme Court to hear the case. On December 10, the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU),
for which I serve as General Counsel, filed a brief in their support.
In the ACRU brief, I stated that,
“The so-called Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA” or “Obamacare”),
involves the most comprehensive assault on the fundamental constitutional doctrine of Separation of Powers in the history of American law.
The ACA, by its express terms, purports to exempt IPAB from any legislative, judicial, and even executive branch oversight. That makes IPAB
the most authoritarian and anti-democratic institution in the history of American law, since slavery.”

The Politician Without a Church People see him [Obama] playing golf on Sunday; they don't see him going to church By Cliff Kincaid December 30th, 2014
POLITICO has run a piece citing
various claims that President Obama is a practicing Christian of some sort. Nice try. But the article is entirely unconvincing.
Obama isn’t prevented from going to a Christian church and doesn’t cite security reasons for not attending. Instead, he “worries that his presence detracts
from other worshippers’ experience,” the publication said. We are told he reads scripture and prays in private.
In 2008, when he first ran for president, the Obama campaign insisted he was a “committed Christian.” Glenn Greenwald, who later became NSA defector
Edward Snowden’s mouthpiece, found Obama’s claim so alarming that he wrote an article for Salon about it. Greenwald, whose anti-American outlook includes
Muslim sympathies, was apparently deeply concerned that Obama could, in fact, be a committed Christian.
We now understand that Obama’s Christian claim was as phony as his promise, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it...”

What is America's survival plan? By Carol Brown December 26th, 2014
We’re facing the greatest national security threat we have ever known and there is no coherent plan to battle the enemy. This nation is so far behind
the eight ball, the president and his minions won’t even name the enemy, no less fight it.
Name = Islam
Even worse, those in positions of power and influence misrepresent what the enemy stands for. Like a pre-recorded announcement that just won’t stop,
we are endlessly subjected to the false refrain: Islam is a religion of peace. By Muslim lights, we live in the Dar al Harb, the territory of war,
simply because we refuse to accept Islam. We didn’t declare war, Mohammed did.
And when it comes to the threat of Islamic supremacism, it’s not only the left that’s putting us at risk. The right is hardly better, as both parties
serve up a boatload of ignorance, complicity, and cowardice on a daily basis. Our elected officials draft legislation, set foreign policy, speak at podiums,
sit on panels, write press releases, pen op-eds, and yack away on talk shows about the wonders of Islam. If anyone challenges what they’re peddling, the
peddlers get rather hot under the collar. As for the truth-tellers, they are mocked, marginalized, and vilified.
And what a truth it is, as we confront a totalitarian ideology bent on world domination ruled by one religion -- an ideology that is infecting every aspect
of our culture and which has the potential to destroy all of civilization... Read more here...
America under dictatorship By Judi McLeod December 18th, 2014
Just as Fidel Castro became Cuba’s dictator when he and his guerrillas triumphantly entered Havana on January 7, 1959, President Barack Obama became
America’s dictator on Dec. 17, 2014.
Swaggering into Havana dressed in army fatigues with his signature cigar, Castro claimed the island as his own. Like a thief making off with a nation
in the middle of the night, Obama waiting until Congress was out of town, opened America to a Communist totalitarian state.
Obama’s dictatorship is one that patently ignores countless thousands of Cuban prisoners, some of them who have been in some of the worst jails in
the western hemisphere for decades and comes as a knife in the heart for the loved ones of the so many Cubans already tortured and murdered.
Thousands who fled for their lives from the Castro brothers, losing everything they had won’t be sleeping tonight in Miami.
Swapping a single hostage for spies found guilty by American juries and jailed for killing Americans is how Obama began the ‘re-establishment of
diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba’ for the first time in more than half a century.
Obama and his administration boast it is business. But they are not now, and never will be, doing business with the bread-and-butter Cuban people,
but with the ice-hearted Communist Cuban government, which jails, tortures and murders its own people and which has been doing so ever since Castro
seized power as dictator... Read more here...
The Obama Rule: Can I Get Away With It? By Terence P. Jeffrey December 17th, 2014
Call it The Obama Rule. When will our president do something he wants to do that the Constitution or morality prohibits? When he can get away with it.
President Barack Obama did not move forward with his unilateral action on immigration before the midterm elections, because he was worried he would pay
too high a price. Additional congressional Democrats might have lost, and more Democrats would have blamed him for the losses.
He moved forward with his unconstitutional action after the elections because he calculated — correctly — that Republican congressional leaders would
let him get away with it.
One of the most egregious examples of Obama's deciding he could get away with it came long before he was president and was noted in this column six years ago.
In 2001, when Obama served in the Illinois Senate, state Sen. Patrick O'Malley introduced a remarkably simple bill. It said a born baby would be treated
under Illinois law as a "person," "human being," "child" and "individual."
The bill was needed because an Illinois hospital had been performing induced-labor abortions. In this procedure, a mother was drugged to
induce labor. When her baby was born alive, the little boy or girl was left to die... Read more here...
Republicans And Democrats...A Choice Between Two Evils! By Leigh Bravo December 15th, 2014
Both the Congress and the Senate passed a 2015 spending bill, in record time, that has been labeled a “Cromnibus.” But where was the fight? Where were
our representatives who swore they would not fund amnesty, Obamacare, taxpayer-funded abortion, and more irresponsible spending? Nowhere to be seen!
About Obama’s illegal amnesty,
“We are going to fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. This is the wrong way to govern. This is exactly what the
American people said on Election Day they didn’t want.” - John Boehner
About the passage of Obamacare,
“And look at how this bill was written,” “Can you say it was done openly, with transparency and accountability? Without backroom deals and struck
behind closed doors hidden from the people? Hell, no, you can’t.” - John Boehner
“When we came here, we each swore an oath to uphold and abide by the Constitution as representatives of the people.” “But the process here is broken.
The institution is broken. And as a result, this bill is not what the American people need nor what our constituents want.” - John Boehner
These are the exact words John Boehner spoke as recently as November, 2014, in reply to President Obama’s announcement to offer amnesty to millions of
illegals inside the United States and the passage of Obamacare, both bills, openly rejected by the American people...

Why did it take until 100 years after the Civil War, until 1964, to pass a Civil Rights Act? Because the Democratic Party would not take
its boot off the neck of the black man until Martin Luther King made the black vote a political force. Dedicated to being in power above
all else, the Democrats had to make a U-turn on their race policy in the 1960s and join the Republicans in passing the Civil Rights Act
because they realized that after the black vote was counted, they were not going to win any more national elections without it.
But there was a problem. How was the Democratic Party going to overcome its deplorable record on race? It was the party of slavery,
segregation, lynching, and the Klan.
What to do now? Get back in front of history with comprehensive rather than palliative welfare -- the Great Society. The Democratic Party
would become the friend of the black community by giving it things it wasn’t asking for, but were hard to resist.
But there is a big problem with comprehensive welfare: it destroys the role of men in the community and this was disproportionately true
of the black community. There is nothing worse than taking away a person’s mission in life, making that person unnecessary and thus unwanted.
That is evil. And today we see the results of that evil.
Single mothers can cope, but the family as a force in the community cannot flourish without men as a responsible presence. Without men, there
is nobody to show boys how to behave, have someone to look up to and emulate, to set them straight when they go off the path, to show them how
to be men. This has been true of every civilization in history.
But over the last 50 years, the Democratic Party wiped out the black family by wiping out the role of black men in order to stay in power.
The black family had withstood 250 years of slavery and 100 years of Jim Crow, but was destroyed by 50 years of Liberalism. In 1960, the illegitimacy rate in the black community was 30%. Now it is 78%. And as Star Parker has pointed out, there is nothing unique about blacks. Whites are now where blacks were in 1960 and are on the same path.
What is the result of this devastation? There are now two Americas -- Welfare America and Enterprise America.
So how did the Republican leader decide to fight President Obama on amnesty, Obamacare, abortion and spending?...

Time to take a stand against Obama's racism By Larry Klayman November 27th, 2014
When I was a young boy, I watched scenes on television of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking and fighting for equal rights for blacks.
Even at age 10, I was moved not only by his inspiring oratory but also his steadfast determination to bring freedom to his people; indeed
bringing freedom to all oppressed people. Be you black or white, the civil rights leader, a true giant among men, even with his leftist
connections, set the tone for a nation in ascension.
Today, our country, now in steep decline, is not so fortunate as to have a civil rights leader like King. Rather, sitting atop our corrupt
government is a bigoted anti-white socialist, who it has become clear not only despises Caucasians, but also Christians and Jews of all stripes.
He is a black Muslim in the subtler mold of Louis Farrakhan and Malcolm X – only repackaged and warmed over to have duped enough Americans to
have voted him into the presidency in 2008 and 2012. This destructive and evil man, Barack Hussein Obama, is more dangerous than Farrakhan or X;
he is the nominal leader of the free world, an ironic position given that his view of governance is hardly one that fights for and preserves freedom,
but instead through words and deed seeks to snuff out liberty for nearly everyone whose skin color and inherent Muslim faith does not match his own.
Instead, along with his black comrades, the likes of Attorney General Eric Holder and black activist colleagues and friends like Al Sharpton and
Jesse Jackson, he runs a divisive racist cabal that is designed to tear the nation apart at its seams. In so doing, they hope to create enough
anarchy and chaos to wage a revolution against not just whites – who they feel must pay blacks back for the years of invidious discrimination – but
also Jews and white Christians in particular. This, along with his Muslim roots, which he inherited from his anti-Semitic Kenyan father, helps
explain Obama’s hostility toward Israel, the land of the Jewish people and the birthplace of Jesus, and the president’s favoritism toward everything
black and Islamic.
My words today may at first seem extreme. They are not. They must finally be said, given the sad state of affairs we now find ourselves in – with
time running out to confront and defeat Obama and his pliant leftist goons. More and more, Americans are starting to see these black racists for what
they are. Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity are now calling it like it is, but even ordinary Americans, also liberal ones, are also
beginning to talk more clearly and openly about this threat to our formerly civilized society...

Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks to God By Rebecca Terrell November 27th, 2014
The impiety of many of our country's present leaders makes it easy to forget that the United States was once governed by devout men who
acknowledged the one true God and their debt to Him in everything. These statesmen were courageously unafraid to give public thanks to God.
It is refreshingly edifying to review the role our founders played in establishing Thanksgiving Day.
The holiday we celebrate now has its roots in Massachusetts Governor William Bradford's proclamation of the first Thanksgiving Day on
November 29, 1623. He ordered a public ceremony to "render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings." However, that was
not the first thanksgiving on our nation's soil. Long before, on September 8, 1565, Spanish explorers celebrated Mass in gratitude for
their safe arrival at what is now St. Augustine, Florida. Another Mass of thanksgiving was celebrated by Spanish explorers in present-day
Texas on April 30, 1598. The first official Thanksgiving ceremony in the American colonies was December 4, 1619, when English settlers
arrived at the Berkeley Hundred settlement in Virginia. So Bradford was only following honorable suit.

Cuban Immigrant's Challenge to Oregon Lawmakers:
‘Marxism is not Coming, Marxism is Here’
OBAMA: FALSE HOPE, FALSE MESSIAH
"I Can't Believe" This is Happening in America
By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
My "I Can't Believe This is Happening to America" list is growing larger by the day. It is so vast now, I can write a book. Would my book have an audience? Judging by the eagerness with which most
Americans have embraced the transformational hope and change of our country to communist utopia, the answer is no.
I can't believe New Yorkers have elected a blatant Marxist as their mayor. I can't believe Terry McAuliffe is the governor of Virginia. The American men who fought in the Revolutionary War must be
turning in their graves knowing that the hallowed ground in Virginia they defended against the British tyranny is now run by Marxist Democrats.
Rocky Top PERSPECTIVES
Today's Tea Party Movement: A Flash in the Pan? -Rocky Top Freedom 7/3/2013- Analysis During America's
237th Birthday...
It's been said that the modern day Tea Party movement is America's
Great Awakening.
We beg to differ.
While RTFC supports many of the same tenets of Constitutionally-based
smaller government and the restoration of the original American Republic
of independent and sovereign states sharing the burden of the bulk
of America's governing power, we are convinced that today's Tea Party
is destined for failure.
As evidenced by the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama, it's becoming
increasingly clear that any gains realized in the midterm elections
of 2010 have not only been erased, but we believe liberty has taken
two steps backward for each step forward.
What's the problem? Witness if you will our U.S. Declaration of Independence,
which outlines the following three basic rights granted all human
beings by Nature's God:
1. The right to LIFE
2. The right to LIBERTY
3. The right to THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (i.e. freedom of self-sufficiency)
These rights are un-alienable (which means they cannot be bought,
sold, transferred or abridged.)
We believe that Un-Alienable Right #1, "LIFE" is unquestionably
the most basic right of all. Clearly without life the other two are
moot and meaningless.
The vast majority of Tea Party leaders, when confronted with their stance
on the issue of the sanctity of human life might respond with something like, "Abortion
is not our agenda." What these leaders really mean is, "We don't want to get involved in controversial
social issues because we might make our members mad!" Heaven forbid they actually stand for something other
than "money" issues and embrace something truly meaningful!
Rational people understand that complex problems are solvable only
when their root causes are addressed, and as long as the assault on
the irrevocable and foundational God-given right to live and breathe
is not on the Tea Party's radar, enemies of freedom will continue
to prosper.
It is therefore RTFC's contention that because of its focus
on symptoms rather than taking action on their associated root causes,
the Tea Party movement will continue to suffer setbacks
in the future and will ultimately fail.
The solution of course is to embrace the pro-life movement (as we
believe many of America's Founders would do were they alive
today) but we don't foresee that happening anytime soon. As with
virtually all Christian churches, Tea Parties have willingly bound themselves
with what effectively is a gag order under the watchful eye of the IRS in the
interest of receiving paltry tax exemptions, effectively rendering
themselves impotent and ineffective against the tyrannical onslaught
of the armies of darkness.
While our freedoms continue to wane under America's current leadership,
RTFC fully expects the Tea Party movement to continue to fade, falter
and slide into non-relevance.
But one hope remains: His name is Jesus.
Understand that there truly are no political solutions to America's spiritual problems; for this reason we all need to
remain on our knees in prayer and cry
out to God, for without His Blessings the sinking ship called America
will also find itself non-relevant.
Monsanto has responded to the protest yesterday by saying we have
a right to our opinion but their GMO food is "safe." Think about that
for a second... Aspirin is safe. Food preservatives are also safe.
But this is FOOD we're talking about - not drugs and not food additives.
Wake up America!!!!! Support GMO labeling in your state! Our health
and the health of our children depends on our actions. In the meantime
vote with your pocketbook and BUY CERTIFIED ORGANIC
when possible....
Please PRAY for the victims,
families and friends of the heinous Boston jihad attack!
TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT 2016?? SOUNDS GREAT DOESN'T
IT?
SADLY, CRUZ
IS NOT ELIGIBLE!! Just because Obama "got away with
it" doesn't mean conservatives should no longer abide by the
Constitution. The fact is that Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban
citizen father and US citizen mother, and we birthers need to hearken
back to when we skewered Obama daily back in 2008 over this very thing.
Even though most conservatives LOVE Ted Cruz and what he stands for,
we should NOT look the other way only when it suits our own purposes.
Remember, "natural born citizen" means BORN
TO TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS AT THE TIME OF BIRTH.
See RTFC's Eligibility Page
for more information...
REMEMBER, OBAMA AND THE POWER OF HELL WILL
NEVER WIN! CHRISTIANS, DO
NOT TAKE THE MARK AND TAKE A STAND FOR JESUS...PASTORS,
WAKE UP! JESUS IS OUR MESSIAH - OUR ONLY KING! BE BLESSED THROUGH
THE POWER OF SONG...

Liberal Hypocrisy: Good for Me...But
Not for Thee...
by Thomas Horn
September 09, 2011 - RaidersNewsUpdate.com
According to the Bible an unprecedented war will
occur in the future. It will be fought on land and sea, in the
heavens above, and in the earth below, in the physical and spiritual
worlds. It will include "Michael and his angels [fighting]
against the dragon; and the dragon [fighting] and his angels"
(Rev. 12:7).
Heretics will join the battle, calling upon "idols of gold, and
silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood" (Rev. 9:20)
to convene their evil powers against the Christian God. They
will unite with "unclean spirits....to gather them to the
battle of that great day....[to] a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon ["Mount Megiddo"]" (Rev. 16:13-14;16).
The fowl of the air will "eat the flesh of the mighty"
and hybrid locusts will sting the enemies of God until the omnipotent
Christ utterly repels the forces of darkness and destroys the
New World Army.
At least that's the way fundamentalist Christians believe it
will happen...
Billions of people on planet Earth do not understand
that we are now approaching the final battle for our world and that
everything we see happening is connected with that battle. The ancient
Greek god, Prometheus gave man fire and the destructive forces of
that fire have set the world aflame. The god Prometheus was a type
of Lucifer, the temporary prince of this world. Prometheus represented
human will and the search for scientific knowledge at all costs. For
example, the race for the creation of the atomic bomb and modern Transhumanism
represent Prometheus.
Mary Shelley used the term The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle
to her novel Frankenstein (1818). Frankenstein was the foreshadowing
of the dark side of Transhumanism and genetic engineering.
According to the Biblical account, Lucifer was the most powerful
angelic being, and in his lust to be God he led a revolution of one
third of the angels in a war against God, so that he could seize God's
throne. This multi-dimensional battle began in the Garden of Eden,
where the personal God created a man and woman in His image, using
His precise DNA code.....
Without your Second Amendment Rights, you have NO other Rights, which
is exactly why Obama and his band of Democratic Socialists want your
guns. Obama and Biden are prepared to disarm American citizens by
Executive Order with 23 orders ready to go, and congress should make
sure that they make this move all alone by refusing to pass any new
gun control legislation through congress. (Obama signed these 23 EO's
as this column was in editing.)
Make no mistake, almost every Democratic Socialist (aka progressive)
member of congress will support Obama's rush to disarm law abiding
citizens. Just like Hitler, Obama will exploit children to push his
anti-American agenda, using innocent babies as human shields to protect
Democrat Marxists as they attempt to strip Americans of their God
given and constitutionally protected Right to keep and bear arms.....
DON'T
LET THE GUN-GRABBERS EXPAND THE REACH OF GOVERNMENT!
The horrendous Sandy
Hook massacre is 'conveniently' being used
as a platform for the current crop of anti-gun
politicians to steal away the right of Americans to protect themselves,
their families and their property. Remember, THIS IS NOT ABOUT HUNTING!
It's about our God-given right to protect Life,
Liberty and Property against a tyrannical government. Please contact
your Senators and Representatives ASAP!
Here's how to make your voices heard:
Go to www.contactingthecongress.org
and let them know we won't stand for this!!
Also please SIGN
the NAGR Petition against Feinstein's anti-gun bill.
Remember that these
people are relentless and WILL NOT STOP until every one of us
(except them of course) is disarmed.
The time to turn off the TV and get active is NOW!
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow
the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors
who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their
own downfall by so doing..." -Adolph Hitler, 1942-
(Yes, Hitler was a LEFTIST, just like our gun-grabbing friends in
Congress.)
FLASH!!!!The Republican Party WILL NOT and CAN
NOT pursue and challenge blatant VOTER FRAUD perpetrated by
the Democrat Party because of a legal agreement they signed in court
over 30 years ago!!!
Yes you heard that right! It appears that both parties are
on the "honor system" (nothing to see here, move along...)
when it comes to VOTER FRAUD; particularly in areas of the nation
"where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is
a factor..." If that means what we think that means, then the
Democrat Party has an open license to cheat, while the GOP looks the
other way. No wonder all of our complaints of blatant voter fraud
on Election Day are falling on deaf ears!
Story links are HERE
and HERE
and HERE
and HERE,
and the legal document is HERE.
Now who do we call? Eric Holder? Please help spread this FAR AND WIDE!
Take Heart though, because GOD
IS STILL ON THE THRONE!
Not even Obama and his minions can change that fact! Our hope is in
the Risen Lord!
Even More Blasphemy...
"First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama." "” Jamie Foxx
Now that the dust from Election Day 2012 has begun to settle, it's
time for patriotic Americans to rise up from our disgust and depression
and actually get involved with something constructive.
While more than one million Americans from virtually all 57 (according
to Obama) states are exercising their First Amendment right to petition
the government for a redress of grievances, we at RTFC believe
that any call for secession will not only fall on deaf ears but likely
will be met with a response of ridicule - something akin to the White
House's reponse to the petition for the White
House Beer Recipe.
HOWEVER...
With the sudden rise of the Petraeus affair and Benghazigate
- not to mention Fast
and Furious - it's high time we start contacting our Congressmen
(and women) and demand initiation of Articles of Impeachment against
Barack Hussein Obama. Check back here for updates and Action items
for moving this forward. One thing we can do right off the bat is
to start sending them letters (not emails but physical USPS-delivered
envelopes). Here is a site that has addresses, sample letters, etc,
and it's a good place to start. Pay particular attention to contacting
members of the House
Judiciary Committee.
Here's what our US Constitution says about IMPEACHMENT:
Article 1, Section 2
The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other
Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
Article 1, Section 3
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When
sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When
the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall
preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence
of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to
removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office
of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted
shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment
and Punishment, according to Law.
Article 2, Section 2
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of
the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when
called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require
the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive
Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective
Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for
Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Article 2, Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United
States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction
of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Let's get to work! If they hear from enough concerned Americans,
maybe some of our elected officials will actually develop a spine
and stand up to the Usurper in Chief!
There is NO political solution to a spiritual problem. by Geezer, November 9th, 2012
It's painfully clear now that America has a HUGE spiritual problem.
It's also time the Tea Party and Liberty Movement shift gears, refocus
and regroup.
Barack Hussein Obama, like it or not, is once again the leader of
the free world - for at least the next four years. Yes we know all
about the 22nd Amendment limiting presidential terms, but by the same
token we also understand that no law is worth the paper it's written
on unless it's adhered to.
Our activism has centered on the notion and the expectation that
the playing field was level, and that the debate was fair. Apparently
it was neither.
To compound matters, for 2012 the presumed opposition party (also
known as the GOP) much as it had in 1992, 1996 and 2008, had once
again selected as its stand-bearer an unprincipled, "moderate"
candidate who failed to solidify America's core conservatives.
The result? Obamacare unleashed. Higher deficits, Higher unemployment.
Bigger government. Less freedom.
Need we go on?
SO NOW WHAT?
Rocky Top Freedom Campaign will surely move forward, as will the Liberty
movement in general. We will not ride off into the sunset. We will
however, likely shift our direction and goals.
But make no mistake about it, we will go on.
It's extremely important to realize that most of us understand that
our God is control, and that the continued reign of Obama and all
the associated ills of socialism are apparently in His will for America,
even though we may find these things unpalatable and difficult to
understand. The bottom line is that God's will is something we must
accept whether we agree with it or not; or how difficult it makes
our existence here on this little blue planet.
As mere mortals, how do we move forward to try to restore a more traditional
conservative American Republic, and at the same time protect our families
against possible future tyrannies? At this juncture we simply do not
know for sure, but we do know that we need to go back to the basics
for answers. And those basics are in the pages of God's Word.
As a new day dawns, the dust from the aftermath of Election Day 2012
is starting to settle, and snippets of clarity are beginning to emerge.
In the days ahead we'd like to humbly ask that all who love the traditional
America of our Founders and what that America stands for - things
like faith, freedom and family - take heed of 2 Chronicles 7:14. God
asks us to humble ourselves and pray for our great nation.
So, may God bless those who still love freedom, and still love our
Constitution.
Turning a political decision into your spiritual mandate
By Douglas J. Hagmann, November 7th, 2012
It is unlikely that the majority of Americans are familiar with the
name Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I had forgotten the account of Mr. Bonhoeffer
until a valued listener of our nightly radio program sent me Bonhoeffer:
Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, a gripping book written by Eric Metaxas.
I devoured the 592 page book in three days, reading the final page
only yesterday. I find it anything but coincidental that I completed
this gripping account on the very day that the 2012 U.S. presidential
election was decided in favor of Barack Hussein Obama.
While reading the account of Mr. Bonhoeffer, a German pastor, theologian
and spy who was involved in the plot to kill Hitler, I became awestruck
by the obvious and stunning parallels between 1930"²s Germany and present
day America, specifically in terms of the Christian church. Yesterday,
for the second time in four years, the majority of Americans decided
in favor of Obama despite the vocal and visible moral objections made
by many Christians of all denominations. I have no doubt that many
people who profess to be Christians cast their vote to reelect Barack
Hussein Obama, somehow justifying their vote over any moral or ethical
concerns residing in their spirit. How is this possible? Read

The Blasphemous Deification of Barack Obama
September 5, 2012 by Dave Jolly
Ever since Barack Obama first announced his intentions of running
for president in 2007, people have flocked to him as if he were
some kind of Messiah. Once he was elected and sworn into office,
many began to deify him and place him on the same plane as Jesus
Christ.
Just prior to the 2008 presidential election, Maggie Mertens,
an associate editor for the Smith College (Massachusetts) campus
newspaper, wrote a commentary headlined as:
EDITORIAL: The Civil War of 2016
U.S. military officers are told to plan to fight Americans By The Washington Times, Tuesday August 7th, 2012
Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town
and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion. This farcical vision
is now part of the discussion in professional military circles.
At issue is an article in the respected Small Wars Journal titled "Full
Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A 'Vision' of the Future." It was
written by retired Army Col. Kevin Benson of the Army's University of
Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and
Jennifer Weber, a Civil War expert at the University of Kansas. It posits
an "extremist militia motivated by the goals of the 'tea party' movement"
seizing control of Darlington, S.C., in 2016, "occupying City Hall,
disbanding the city council and placing the mayor under house arrest."
The rebels set up checkpoints on Interstate 95 and Interstate 20 looking
for illegal aliens. It's a cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario. Read

Beyond the TEA Party
Rocky Top Freedom Campaign is a revitalized and purpose-driven group of
free Americans who have become disillusioned with the lack of direction
of the vast majority of TEA Party groups throughout our Great Nation. What
began with great promise in 2009 has evolved into a watered-down movement
that has become ineffectual and weak in its mission. Our goal is to re-energize,
educate and mobilize patriots in East Tennessee and beyond to help solve
our nation's most vexing issues.
America's
Founding Fathers had a vision of forming a collection of autonomous, completely
sovereign States bound together as a union by a very small and very limited
federal government, whose main obligation to the States was to protect against
two primary threats to liberty: Force and Fraud.
Fifty-five brave men risked their lives and imperiled their sacred honor
in direct opposition to their own colonial government, which was at the
time beholden to the British Crown. Our Founders' experiment in freedom
and liberty is (to coin a phrase) "too big to fail" and is worth
fighting to uphold by people of good conscience. Our Constitution must be
restored to its rightful place as the supreme law of the land.
One Nation, Under God
We are under no illusion that our nation's Founders were anything other
than religious men, and virtually
all of them were Christians. "Nature's God" as the Founding
Fathers acknowledged in the Declaration
of Independence referred to the God of the Bible. Although all are welcome
to join our movement, we will not compromise the fact that as Americans
we are Christians first, and Conservatives second. Furthermore we are not
beholden to any political party, be it Democrat, Republican or otherwise.
East Tennessee is one of the few remaining bastions of liberty in our nation.
Unfortunately most of us are busily going about our daily lives and have
become complacent. Collectively we have sat idle while usurpations of our
liberty have encroached on our rights. As a sovereign people we acknowledge
that these rights are granted to us by God alone. Therefore our focus is,
and shall remain, identifying and opposing any and all threats to our rights
to life, liberty, and property.
Our Mission
Rocky Top Freedom Campaign's mission goes well beyond our opposition to
high taxes and irresponsible fiscal policy. We understand that those issues
are mere symptoms of rampant usurpations of power, and of greed, godlessness
and corruption. We recognize threats both foreign and domestic and are bound
together as one voice to concentrate our efforts both in a peaceful and
lawful manner.
Please prayerfully consider joining us on our mission.
