THINGS THAT “BUG” ME (The Buggy Blog of Karl C. Priest)

I am glad to be a gadfly!

[Loosely grouped into categories: Myself, Christians, Religious People (including atheists), Conservatives, Education, Evolutionism, Politicians, Liberalism, Baby Killing, and Miscellaneous)

LAST ENTRY: 2-3-2012 under MYSELF and CONSERVATIVES. The newest entry is usually at the top of the category.

ATTENTION: I have an opportunity to produce 90 second spots (I call them “Bug Bites”) on a local Christian radio station using commentary similar to that below. A lot of it would be related to current news such as the Oscars when that garbage was all over the news. If you would like to support the "Bug Bites" ministry financially, let me know. All money goes to the station costs.

I stand ready to buzz loony liberals (especially those claiming to be Christians) and compromising conservatives ( especially those who are in the churches).

I have a few problems with insects. I live in a rural area and have to battle them for my share of the produce and flowers my wife and I plant. I understand the situation both scientifically and biblically. Insects are great reminders of the curse and that this world is not our home.

Insects cannot tell right from wrong. They were not made in the image of God. Jesus did not die to redeem insects. There are some things that humans due that really bug me and I list them in no particular order.

This is merely a “venting” blog and I recommend you not read it unless you want to find out if some of your peeves are similar to mine. Your time would be much better spent reading your Bible.

Things that "bug" me:

MYSELF

I cannot make it on the might of men or myself. I need the Master (Knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. Col. 4:1b).
----------
Many times I have flat-out failed.  Romans 7:14 KJB
-------------
On my best day this is what I am.
-------------
When I tried to mess with the ways of the world I proved the reality of II Peter 2:2 2 (KJB).
-------------
After several years of arguing with atheists and agnostics and trying to be an amateur apologist I concluded that the cause of Christ is better served by learning and sharing scripture. I heard a preacher tell of entering a new town to pastor a church. A local skeptic sought him out and spewed his arguments. The preacher proceeded to answer only one way: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
(Heb. 9:27) The skeptic was saved.
-------------
In reality, most people will not be saved because according to Matthew 7:14 (KJB) “few there be that find it (salvation).” That fact is not an excuse to stop presenting the Gospel message, but it helps to eliminate discouragement from perceived failure. Also, since there is limited time in a 24-hour day, it causes a focus upon dedicating time toward people who are sincere seekers of truth. This applies to telling the truth about creation and the lie of evolutionism.
-------------
I started out at full throttle on the right road, reached a point of coasting with detours down dark and dangerous streets leading in the wrong direction, and want to finish on the right road at full throttle.

I am forthwith full of faults and still struggle with sin.

The truth is that I far too often disappoint myself. Of course, the more I try to do, the more opportunities I have to mess up. It is always when I get out of the will of God. I am grieved at the hurt that I caused--to friends, foes and family--while I was lukewarm. I made as many amends as possible and accept the forgiveness of Jesus Christ the Lord (If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. I John 1:9-10), tried to heal the hurt I caused, and continue to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14 KJB)

CHRISTIANS

God did not make money. He made mankind. He will not put His hand in a person’s purse or pocket
-------------
Born again Christians can have a common communion (of the Saints) while having a difference in details how they do devotions.
-------------
I heard part of an interview of an author of an apologetics book who made some good points. Christians should be competent so they can be confident and creative as they compassionately get others to consider Christ.

If your labor for the Lord is lackadaisical (without interest, vigor, or determination; listless; lethargic), look:

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Eccl. 9:10

-------------
Bible Agnostic Christians (BACs) are like evolutionists when they try to defend their belief God was unable to preserve His inerrant Word in English. They jip on the least little alleged error in the King James Bible just like evos leap for joy over things like the Moon rock or Lucy. When the BAC’s flimsy hopes are answered they resort to support from “multiple scholars.”
-------------
I heard a preacher on the radio make some pertinent points which I will paraphrase. <There are two many pastors interested in fleecing the flock. Pastors should lead like shepherds and act like servants.>
-------------
Bible agnostics have no Bible. May God have mercy on them for theirr unbelief. May God have mercy on those they cause to stumble because of their doubt in His power and His honesty in what He said He would do with his Word.

Talking to Bible agnostics is like talking to evolutionists. Their position is the flip side of a counterfeit coin. Evolutionism is the head and Bible-perversions is the tail.
-------------
If you think the NIV is a "good English translation" then you are spiritually deceived. Take this test.
-------------
A big time (in the sense of national creation-science ministry) Christian Bible compromiser tried to tell me the KJB translators were wrong when they said the love of money is the root of all evil (I Tim. 6:10). He said that lust causes more evil than the love of money. This is not the place to rebut his ridiculousness however the Spring 2011 incident of the hotel maid claiming to have been raped by the head of the International Monetary Fund causes one to wonder.
-------------
American Christians are mainly lazy and lustful. They ae not necessarily lustful in a sexual context although that is common due to their consumption of Hollywood handouts. The lustfulness is for mor things to consume—better electronic gadgets, bigger boats—buy, buy, buy. Their laziness is centered on the desire to remain comfortable while babies are massacred, marriage is mutilated, and children are indoctrinated. The cure is Matthew 6:19, II Timothy 3:12, and James 4:14 (KJB).
-------------
My local Christian music station also has preaching programs. When I tuned in one day there was a preacher saying that a certain word (I didn’t even catch what word) could be translated one way in the NASV and another way in the KJB and NKJV. I turned him off before he got to the NIV. I pity Christians (especially young ones) who listen to sermons like that. To me, the preacher is proclaiming “God can’t get it the way He wants it.”
-------------
Evangelical churches that claim “One Faith", but cannot settle upon one Bible. I attended a church that had “Bible” as part of its name. When a visiting speaker started reading out of an NIV (I think) I observed folks shutting their Bibles because they could not read along with him. When I privately addressed this with church leadership I was accused of causing confusion. See why I only use the King James Bible.
-------------
Major creation ministries (especially the popular and powerful) that proclaim their goals of “Battling for the Bible” or defending the Bible “from the very first verse yet they have no Bible that they can declare is God’s pure and sure Word without error. Sadly, they are building upon a sandy foundation that any atheist can undermine. The same groups influence naïve parents to sacrifice their precious children to dangerous and ungodly government schools because the children have been “trained” to argue against evolutionism. Sadly, it seems to me that the leaders place profit and prestige over people (in this case, children).
-------------
As a retired public school teacher I am convinced that our only hope is to rescue our children from the public (government) schools and raise a godly generation. Please see "Call to Dunkirk". Public schools cannot be redeemed. Saying we should not abandon them is like saying the passengers of the Titanic should have stayed aboard because the band was playing good music and the captain was a good man.
-------------
Churches that sit empty almost all week that could be used for God’s work such as Christian schools or homeschool co-ops.
-------------
Homeschoolers and Christian schools need to unite for the sake of children.  The “University Model School” may be the way to go.
-------------
Prosperity Preaches and “Name It-Claim It” message malarkey.
-------------
A couple of clergymen who are “compromising Charlies” are Chuck Swindol and Charles Stanley. They are wishy-washy on evolutionism and have no Bible that is pure and sure.
-------------
See “Renegade Reverend.”
-------------
Some people are being “drawn like moths to an open flame to unsound and unbiblical ideas” like The Shack, Purpose Driven Life, Seeker Movement, Emergent Church and more. For information see “Troubling Trends in the Church”and “A Common Thread”.
-------------
Pastors who are more motivated to keep their jobs than key in on the sins of society. They are content to let the congregation sit contently on the pews (usually padded) as long as the pastor’s pocketbook is provided with a regular paycheck. See more about them below and under “Conservatives.”
-------------
There is a great deception sweeping through churches.  That is a New Age religious tenet that is a satanic lie.  See 2 Tim. 4:3-4 KJB.  This movement is being perpetuated by mega-ministers like Rick Warren.   It causes some Christians to think that they can sin without consequence.  The dogma also removes the motivation for the need to preach and proclaim that there is a real hell where unrepentant sinners will go (Rev. 20:15 KJB). Also see “The Common Thread.”
-------------
Christians (especially preachers) who do not stand up against baby killing and degradation of Biblical marriage.
-------------
There are three types of Christians:
1. Fake (some are pastors) They are on a journey to hell.
2. Foolish (pew sitters) They will suffer at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
3. Fundamentalist (not perfect) They will hear Jesus say, “Well done.”

A Christian who does not try to warn a sinner being herded to hell or help a brother bound headlong for hurt is not consistent with what Christ commands.
-------------
The problem with America is not due to liberals and evolutionists. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PULPITS. It is mostly due to preachers who lack courage, but (as a news report disclosed on ABC News http://abcnews.go.com/WN/atheist-ministers-leading-faithful/story?id=12004359) there are atheists filling Christian church pulpits.
-------------
Preachers have done more harm than politicians. After I exposed blasphemy of the Lord Jesus Christ in local public (i.e. “government”) schools not one preacher rose up to call for Christians to rescue their children from those seminaries of paganism.
-------------
There are too many (in fact most of them are) churches that are social clubs instead of salvation centers.
-------------
Christians who shun other Christians over non-essentials. If we have Romans 10:9-11 in agreement, we have a foundation for friendship. (Fellowship rests upon more.   See my Statement of Beliefs.)

Christians who, if arrested for being a Christian, would not have enough evidence against them for a conviction. “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.”* Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:14)

Professing Christians who have less ethics and honor than non-Christians. A man lied to me while wearing “John 3:16" embossed on his baseball cap. Some of my worst business experiences have been with businessmenn who use a fish sign in their advertisements. I have even caught preachers lying.

While on the subject of the ethics of Christians, I should mention that heterosexuals (including many in the church) have done more to harm the God ordained institution of marriage (one man and one woman until death) than homosexuals. Again, a lot of the blame rests upon the pastors.

American Christians who feel that they are “persecuted” because someone sits in “their” pew or they don’t get through the line in time to get the preferred dessert at the church dinner. What terrible"trials and tribulations!"
-------------
An elderly relative who claims to be a Christian yet she does not fellowship in any way with other Christians. Her radio plays all day long on a secular music station. She refuses an offer to take her to church or even hold church in her home. She never opens a Bible, but reads the liberal, atheist run, Charleston Gazette seven days a week. I guess I am not irritated by this lady. I am actually saddened and have tried to reach her for Christ.
-------------
I have witnessed to a Navy buddy for 40 years. Finally he is going to church, but I wonder if he is born again. Time will tell. Religion only results in a righteous ride to hell.
-------------
Good people (and lately far too many evangelicals) who focus on feeding and clothing the poor to the exclusion of meeting spiritual needs of those to whom they minister. Fundamentalist Christians have helped millions (more likely billions) since Jesus was resurrected. The Union Mission's original motto had it right: SOAP, SOUP, and SALVATION. Without salvation, all that is accomplished is clean well-fed people heading for hell.
-------------
Praying for the salvation of others—especially politicians. If that is scriptural—I’d like to see the verse. Romans 10:1 (Paul’s reference to praying for the salvation of Israel) in context is not sufficient. Born again believers should pray for God to sent spiritual conviction for their sinful condition. Salvation is a gift that God allows us to accept or reject. If a “praying mother” can get someone saved, why can’t ten praying grandmothers convert the powerful politician who advocates abortion and sodomite abomination? This practice only provides false hope and a reason why a person doesn’t witness about the need to be saved. It is scriptural to pray for healing, strength, comfort, wisdom, and guidance for others. The prayers for wisdom and guidance apply especially to those in authority. It is also scriptural to pray for God to bring swift judgment on the wicked. Psalms 59: 5 (KJB) is just one example. Look up “Imprecatory Psalms.”
-------------
The Shack. Anyone deceived enough to think that book is Christian should see this.

The Purpose Driven Life. Rick Warren and other popular preachers are leading the church into the end times One World Religion. See this (same link as for The Shack).
-------------
Women preachers are unscriptural. Any church pastored by a female is heading to extinction. The role of women in the local church is invaluable, but not as preachers or teachers of men. The fault lies with namby-pamby men who will not lead.

RELIGIOUS PEOPLE (including Atheists)

Hanoi Jane Fonda is a christian (small c). See more about Hanoi Jane in the article “The Common Thread”.
-------------
A guy who thinks rock singer Bono is serving Christ with his works based religion tried to compare Bono with Paul. He sent me a clip from an article: If we are truly to become like Paul, we must engage in studying every aspect of our culture….We have to systematically experience the culture to be informed of where God already is…We see God in places that we never thought he would be. Paul expected to find God in the pagan poets and in the Statue to the Unknown God. In our time there are millions of cultural truths that have yet to be connected with the depths of God.

I replied: Do you subscribe to Hustler (or whatever is the current popular porn)? Understanding various elements of culture is a different story. I understand the drug gangs. I don't participate in their lifestyles. The deception in articles like this is a perfect example of how Satan appears as an Angel of Light . It's OK to have a basic knowledge of things that are corrupting our culture so that we can engage in a conversation that quickly leads to a clear no nonsense Gospel message of "Ye must be born again ". The writer of the article below had satan guiding his mind to deceive those who want to compromise with the world. Paul did not join in with the pagans. He quickly got down to telling them bluntly what they needed to hear. See Acts 17:22-29 (KJB).
-------------
In June of 2011 I discovered that the Kanawha County Public Library was conducting a "Yoga for Kids" program is at six branches!. At one branch I found a 8.5 x 11 advertisement promentently displayed in a plastic stand on the main desk along with a pile of colorful leaflets featuring a yound child in a pose very much resembling the “Praying Hands” work of art. I wrote the library board explaining that the library was assisting in the indoctrination of children in a form of Hinduism. I included some excerpts from Yoga should be left out of schools and “Religion Established in Public Schools” at the same set of articles. I told them that I see no problem with an adult lecture format about yoga or any religion. To entice children into a stealth religion is wrong.

The library board’s response stated that the yoga program has been a practice of the KCPL since 2007 “because there is interest in it. and that the program is “completely voluntary, and parents must give permission and be present.” I wonder if permission would be granted if the library disclosed that yoga is a religious aspect of Hinduism. I urge you to make that clear on the form.

I sent another letter that said, “Since I assume that the KCPL does not want to be guilty of establishment of a particular religion, I will provide information about programs that would be widely popular with patrons of every branch. These programs are connected to the Christian religion, but the presenters would make sure that their program is not like a church service. Of course, unlike the yoga evangelists, these men would not use subterfuge. One (myself) of the men has in fact already provided programs at two KCPL branches.” I will post the response.

Also see “The Common Thread”.

‘And the creationists have also shown irrefutably that those liberal and neo–orthodox Christians who regard the creation stories as myths or allegories are undermining the rest of Scripture, for if there was no Adam, there was no fall; and if there was no fall there was no hell; and if there was no hell, there was no need of Jesus as Second Adam and Incarnate Savior, crucified and risen. As a result, the whole biblical system of salvation collapses.’ [Mattill, A. J., Jr., ‘Three Cheers for the Creationists,’ Free Inquiry, vol. 2 (Spring 1982), p 17]
-------------
Guideposts magazine cons many good folks to believe it is Christian. Can you find any articles in Guideposts that proclaim Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation?
-------------
Masons do a lot of charitable and good work, but how do they honor Jesus? I know a man who has Masonic emblems on his belt, lapel, truck, and all over the place. I see no sign, except when he prays over a meal at a family gathering, that he has any interest in Jesus. Come to think of it, he never mentions the name “Jesus”--just a generic “Lord.”Once when I politely asked him why he does not go to church he cursed me. I noticed the obituaries of two of the men who were on the Board of Education during the Textbook War were Masons. There was nothing in their obituaries about what they did to honor Christ. The record of history records what they did to harm children. (See Matthew 18:6). Ask a Mason if all sincere religious people (such as Muslims) ae going to heaven. Ask a Mason who the Great Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) is. I did, and he would not answer. I studied the two main Masonic books for myself and concluded that no born-again Christian can be a Mason. It is a pity that some pastors are part of the Masonic Lodge and some, who are not, still see no problem with church members who are Masons.  They are a spiritual cancer.

A fellow gave me some insightful information about the Masons along with his experience with Masons in his family. When he mistakenly thought I was going to use his name on posts to my email list he asked me not to. He said, “I do not need problems. Do not post my name. I am in business. They rule the court system. Have seen firsthand (how Masons can harm those who criticize them).”

Although Masons have held power in Kanawha County schools none have expressed disagreement with evolutionism (which denigrates their deity—The Great Architect of the Universe —unless the GAOTU created by evolution). Also, none have stood up to object to the blasphemy of Jesus Christ.

For more on Masons: http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/mason1.htm and http://www.ephesians5-11.org/index.html. Also see the entry on Masonry at “The Common Thread.”
-------------
All atheists are righteous in their own eyes and as religious as any Bible believer.

Atheists are angry at a god in whom they do not believe. They seek to make a god in their own image. that is why atheists are so good at writing science fiction. Even in their imaginations there is good vs. evil and some superior being that is the hero. Ask an atheist to describe how they would have created whatever they wanted to create had he (the atheist) been God.

REALITY CIRCLE
An honest atheist is an agnostic. An intelligent agnostic is a deist. A rational deist is a theist. A realistic theist is a creationist. An unrepentant creationist is a fool. A stubborn fool is a psychopath. A normal psychopath is an atheist.
(The way out is to get get saved.)
-------------
Hypocrites in the church. Anyone who uses that excuse is the ultimate hypocrite. There are hypocrites in all organizations. At least the church admits it is a place where sinners (most have had their sins forgiven) gather. See “Liberals” below.

CONSERVATIVES

Regarding my book, the abhorrence and cluelessness from “freethinkers” was easy to forecast, but the fear and ignorance in Christian and conservative community is confounding.
-------------
In my opinion the only difference in Demoncrats and Repubocrites is that the Demoncrats will destroy America faster. It's like pulling off a band aide quickly or slowly. Both open the sore. Here are some thoughts (with which I totally agree from a friend—Teno):

TENO'S THOUGHTS

Settling for the lesser evil is exactly why we keep getting worse and worse candidates. If we will settle for someone who appears just one step to the right of liberal Democrats, that's all the Republicans will ever offer us. We will NEVER get any better if we continue to support lesser evils.

We're accountable for whom we vote, not for who wins. The results are up to God; our job is to DO RIGHT.

Every vote for a godly candidate is a vote for a godly candidate, no matter who wins.

If you vote for pseudo-conservative then YOU are responsible for purposely voting them into office. If you vote for a godly candidate you are responsible for supporting a godly candidate, no matter who wins.

We don't even have to have our candidate win to accomplish much importance. All that's needed is for Christians to stop throwing away their votes on lukewarm frauds and vote only for godly candidates. That's what will make those parties viable. If Christians stop voting for moderate/liberal fakers, the 3rd party candidates would get enough votes to at least force the GOP to run honest conservatives if they want to win. The problem is simply that Christians won't stand for righteousness. They want to support a "winner", even if that winner is 75% liberal. So long as the other guy is 90% liberal, they think they're doing well.

If Republicans were the answer, America should be a virtual Eden by now.

That's not to say Democrats are the answer, but they are at least honest about being liberals and socialistic. The GOP has had plenty of chances, but there are not enough truly conservative Republicans.

If you vote for a pseudo-conservative you actually have voted for a loser. Christians have gotten so far away from God's word that they no longer have a clue of what winning and losing is. Winning is doing RIGHT, no matter what. Compromise is LOSING.

I'm not concerned with being a majority. I'm concerned with being RIGHT. I'd rather be in the minority and be RIGHT. I'd rather vote for a godly "loser" than an ungodly "winner".

We need to SPEAK UP and vote for politicians who will not compromise. I'd rather vote for a loser than vote for a winner who won't deliver on why I voted for him.

Democrats and Republicans are two wings of a bird flying the WRONG way!
-------------
My article, “The Tea Party Two Step” was censored by Tea Party Nation. One can put frills and lace on a pig and the pig will still smell like a pig. Censorship, no matter how it is construed, still stinks. I welcome disagreement with my point of view and I do not mind criticism of my book. That is FREE SPEECH. To banish the mentioning of my book is CENSORSHIP. I have always said that liberals are more dangerous to America than are terrorists. Now, I say that the number one concern of Americans should be compromising conservatives—especially members of the clergy. Compromising conservatives in leadership positions are leading citizen lemmings to a loss in the political battles they place above rescuing their children! The number one danger to America are pathetic puerile pastors. They are not normally conservatives. See more about them under “Christians.”
-------------
When Judson Means published his dad’s (Don’s) book (War in Kanawha County) the only pseudonyms (other than that of the author which was not a secret) were used for a banker and his wife—Mr. and Mrs. Banks. With some research, I found out the following.

Don had used their names when he wrote his book. One of them (the banker couple) asked Judson not to use their real names because of their connection to the Republican (I call it Republicrite) Party. It wasn’t difficult to identify the couple because the book states that the husband was the senior vice president of a local bank. The book used the real name of the bank.

I could identify the couple, but will not. They are ashamed of being identified with the textbook protesters. Their names do not deserve to be listed in the Proud Protester Hall of Fame. Whatever great things the couple did in 1974 for children and our country will only be identified with the non-existent Mr. and Mrs. Banks.

Speaking of conservative hypocrites brings up groups like the Heritage Foundation and other conservative organizations including the national and local Tea Party groups. The Heritage Foundation is bald-faced ashamed of its roots in the Textbook War. The other groups (try to name a group I have not contacted) and individuals like Limbaugh (try to name a prominent personality I have not contacted) just do not get it. Contemporary conservatives are likely going to lose because they will make mistakes that our (protesters’) experience could prevent. More importantly, they continue to let the enemy educate their children! That is beyond foolish!!

See the note about Pete Thaw in Pandas.
-------------
The only conservative AND Christian ministry I know that is not ashamed of the Textbook Protesters and who understands the way to win the cultural war is Exodus Mandate. After you give to your local Bible believing church, Exodus Mandate deserves any spare change. A nickel to a political party or any other conservative group is not wisely invested.

Note: There are some worthy biblically solid missionaries on this list who deserve support too.
-------------
The first modern Tea Partiers proved that conservatives cannot compromise with liberals because liberals are liars. Compromise leads to confusion which ends in collapse.

The Corps of ’74 will echo for evermore!

Today’s Tea Partiers had better take heed!

No matter how many political gains or wins are made in the next couple of years it will all be for naught if we leave our children in government schools.

Government schools are brainwash centers and their effectiveness is apparent to all who are not willingly blind.

We can win everything and lose it all! If we do not win the hearts and minds of the next generation—it is all a waste!! We must rescue our children!!!
------------------------------------
Christians who think the muddled Methodist Rush Limbaugh is near sainthood. The guy is a talented conservative, but (from what I can see) he is ashamed of the Gospel. He is just another Bug in my Ear. Speaking of Talk Show hosts, Neal Boortz is a baby killing evolutionist (due to his libertarian leanings). Sean Hannity is a confused Catholic. Glenn Beck is a lost Later Day Saint. All of them are conservatives, but may God have mercy if we put too much stock in the leadership of those misled men. (Boycott Boortz, Flush Rush, Suspect Beck, Bandage Savage, and Handle Hannity Carefully.)
-------------
FOX News is like the “fox in the hen house.” Besides supporting evolutionism, FOX has prominent personalities that pull their punches. I heard Sean Hannity arguing with a caller who wanted to call liberals "enemies." The caller was correct. FOX does not realize that the greatest danger to America is not terrorists or communists--it is levobortomites ((lev oh bor' tow mite) noun. Anyone who believes and/or promotes left wing extremism, evolutionism, abortion, and/or anti-family activities such as sodomite marriage.  These people are not limited to any particular political party.).   The United States is being destroyed from within.  It is like a huge oak tree that is infested with insects.  For years it looks healthy and then signs of decay start.  Eventually the little pests destroy the oak. In 1974 a group of West Virginians sounded the alarm, "THE LIBERALS ARE COMING!"
-------------
Compromising conservatives (the “muddled middle”) are more lethal to traditional American values than loony liberals. Liberals do their damge swiftly and you can see it coming. Compromising conservatives cause societal decay slowly and with (perhaps unintentional—but just as deadly) stealth. They deserve a prominent place of disgrace.
-------------
Current conservatives have forgotten the Christian folks who laid the foundation for the modern conservative movement.

I have been sailing on the Tea Party ship since 1974. Today’s Tea Partiers regulate us old salts to the boiler room or even the bilges. We ‘74ers saw what compromise (even with the best of intentions) leads to. It got us and (IMHO not because they had good intentions) it got the 1990’s conservatives who launched on our backs. If today’s Tea Partiers don’t learn from (and be inspired from) the folks who held the first modern Tea Party the movement is doomed to failure. Tea Partiers of 2011 and beyond should learn from and be inspired by those who courageously rose in rebellion in 1974. 

Liberals learned the importance of 1974.  Either today's conservatives are too dumb to understand (having mostly been educated in government schools) or, more likely, they are ashamed of us (most likely due to the immense amount of propaganda).

EDUCATION (K-12)

A conservative group solicited money to send a booklet about religious freedom to thousands of public schools. At best that would be a major waste of precious time, money, and effort. If a child fell into a cesspool would we throw them a roll of paper towels? The focus should be on getting Christian children out of government school cesspools .Then we can determine how to help those children that remain in the cesspool for whatever reason. At worse, the solicitation was just a fund raising gimmick.
-------------
While serving with Exodus Mandate I have observed that there are many mothers more interested in soap operas and their social lives than they are the souls of their children. That’s why they jump for joy when school is open.
-------------
Homeschool and Christian school parents not being evangelical about Christian education is like Christians sitting inside church and never wanting to present the life-changing Gospel to their sin-sick and hell bound neighbors.

One time I sat in on an Introduction to Homeschooling hosted by a homeschool group. The hosts were very cordial, but made it clear that they did not want to “bash” public schools. That is too bad because parents with children in “public” (i.e. “government) schools (as well as parents who have rescued their children) need to hear that message. It is like the preaching only "Jesus loves everyone" to the exclusion of "There is a real hell and you are headed there." The meeting that I observed was about a sweet alternative without mentioning the serious imperative. Without the latter, those who waver can easily find an excuse for not leaving (or worse—going back) to government schools. Homeschoolers (and Christian schoolers) need to become concerned about rescuing other children. The more that leave government schools, the better it will be for those children and our country. I encourage any group or school to host meetings that include the benefits of Christian education and allowing me at least five minutes to proclaim the facts about what they think are not-too-bad “public” schools.

One point that I was able to make during the session was that it doesn’t take a college degree to teach. My grandson just completed a year in the K3 program at South Charleston Christian Academy. He also received some homeschooling from me. Even without my efforts my grandson received an excellent K3 education from a lady lacking a state sanctioned degree, but having a God given desire to teach children.

My website has alarming facts, helpful links, and answers to questions. It is a one-stop-shop for getting started in Christian education .

Christian homeschooling is the best way for children to be educated. That said, it is far better to have a child in a biblically based Christian school than in any government school. My focus is to rescue children from the government school Titanic. If the children cannot be placed in the safety of a ship (homeschool) then a good lifeboat (Christian school) is better than sinking spiritually to the bottom. An excellent way to serve children is a University School concept that combines both home and Christian schooling.

Giving time, talent, and treasure to help starving children in Africa is fine, but we need to put a priority on helping the spiritually starving children in America. See “Can You Spare Some Change?”

These people understand the value of public education. See atheists’ own condemning words!

Why are not retired Christian teachers becoming involved with homeschool co-ops and Christian schools? Could it be $$$$$$$$?
-------------
Parents who send their children to public schools are either uniformed, misinformed, or their thinking is deformed.

As a perfect example of public (i.e. government) schools Kanawha County has slid down the slope from 1974 Textbook War to the 2000 obvious obscenity to blatant blasphemy in 2010.

Parents give up their rights when they drop off the children at public school. , says Federal District Judge Melinda Harmon ruling against parents suing a Texas school district. Their son was questioned by Child Protection Specialists (CPS) without their knowledge or consent. Their son was strip searched by a female worker looking for signs of paddling. Wall Street Journal 10/8/96.
-------------
The teacher union’s Legislative Program for 2010 (and it has been similar for many years) attacked homeschooling and calls for public schools to teach globalism, environmentalism, gender identification, sexual orientation (i.e. pro-sodomy), gun control, pro-United Nations, and programs for children beginning at birth. The “E” in NEA must stand for “EVIL”. As a retired public school teacher with over 30 years experience (including 4 as a principal) who formerly was an aggressive member (picket captain during West Virginia's only teacher strike) of the NEA/AFT for over 20 years, I strongly believe the teacher unions are contributing to the ruination of the United States of America. For more on the subject, go to the HOME page and search “teacher union.”
-------------
Some of my ancestors needed union help during the Coal Mine Wars. Now unions are useless except for helping liberals bring down America. I saw firsthand how liberals use union thugs when I served with a group of military vets who sought to keep traitor John Kerry from becoming president in 2004 (see below).
-------------
Homeschoolers who condemn me for criticizing the government school system. That’s like telling a former alcoholic not to condemn demon rum. Those folks are content to let other people’s children be subjected to the evils of government schools without even a warning.
-------------
West Virginia teachers (especially Christians) who have failed to take advantage of the rights I won (or clarified) in the battles against evolutionism. They exhibit a combination of cowardice and compromise.

ADHD stands for “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,” but in my experience (34 years as an educator) it could also stand for Absent Dad in the Home Disorder.”
-------------
Thanks to the 1974 Kanawha County (WV) textbook protesters, American Christians began an exodus out of Pharaoh’s schools in 1974. Now we are at a place comparable to what the Children of Israel faced when confronted by the Red Sea. Our decision about which way to move will determine the final destiny of America’s children.

Whatever victories won by reforming government schools will need to be monitored beyond the capacity of hundreds of volunteers per school district.

Liberals will quickly take back any lost ground and they will not hesitate to do it in an under-handed manner while your group operates honestly and ethically.

Once Christian children are rescued (that should be where we spend time and money) we can begin to try to help those children who are left behind.

EVOLUTIONISM

There is a thin line between being comical and pathetic. Evolutionists travel back and forth across that line. In order to defend the impossible and illogical evolutionists say some of the darnedest things. Their belief is more dinging than believing in the “Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, or the Headless Horseman” (Joseph Mastropaolo).
-------------
Observations and conversations have convinced me that Darwinists are deceived and deceptive as they evangelize for evolutionism.
-------------
Evolutionists should try to travel on the Truth Trail.
-------------
Counting the organization memberships there are well over 100K Debate Dodgers. Surely they could easily chip in a few bucks to get a team, pay their $10, 000, all expenses (including travel and hotel) , and even hook them all up with electronic communication to use during the trail.

The dodge about vagueness is just like a bully kid saying, "My mommy won't let me fight." When someone finally stands up to him, they are sissy cowards. If I thought I could win a contest and was mocked like I mock them I would work a double shift to get the entry fee and save my dignity.
-------------
We have the Life Science Prize to expose hardcore true believers in evolutionism many of whom spend their lives posting hot air on the Internet. Sometimes I post a "needle" on a website (particularly YouTube) just to pester them. I don't bother to read their follow-up comments because I know they are going to be hate (and often profanity) filled.

Those reprobates are not going to change. Creationists should be concerned with those who have not yet hardened their hearts. People can do simple math and determine that 1000 fools (The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Ps. 14:1a) that could chip in ten bucks and get Dr. Mastropaolo's $10K---IF THEY HAD ANY REAL SCIENCE. Note--the problem is a "heart" not a "head" problem.

Creationists need to face the fact that most devoted Darwinists have been given over to reprobate minds and are willingly ignorant.

And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Romans 1:28

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: II Peter 3:5

The people in that predicament are few.

Creationists should focus is on the many--those who are still in touch with reality, but brain-washed by government schooling and pantywaist preachers.
-------------
In the spring of 2011 I went with Bible Greg while he preached on the campus of West Virginia State University. One of my former middle school students (now in her 20's) approached me to say "hi" and related the following (an exact quote): "Mr. Priest, you always told us that we could believe what we wanted to, but if we believed in evolution we had to accept the fact that our great, great however many grandfather was a worm." I was more happy to hear that than, "You were a great math teacher." Not bragging--just reporting. Praise the Creator!
-------------
I have never felt comfortable around liars. As the saying goes—you know a thief is going to steal, but you never know if a liar is telling the truth. Of course, some folks equate lying and stealing as the same and they have a good point. People who teach and/or preach evolutionism are liars and they steal the truth from others. There are four reasons why society needs to be concerned about the LIE of evolutionism. (1) Evolutionism wastes millions (probably billions) of dollars annually from real scientific research. That alone, to most people, is sufficient to eliminate anything to do with evolutionism from using public money. (2) Teaching evolutionism dumbs down science education and wastes valuable classroom time. (3) Evolutionism, when taught in public schools, is a violation of the United States Constitution by establishing atheism as the state religion. (4) This is the one that really gets my dander up. Evolutionism harms innocent children academically, emotionally, and (most importantly) spiritually. That is why I help expose fanatical evolutionists.
-------------
Darwinism is dumb.
-------------
True believers in evolutionism have a HEART, not a HEAD, problem.

When the world-renowned expert on the bombardier beetle die (March 25, 2011) the NY times ran an article that featured the man’s brag that he did not believe in God and had refuted creationists claims that the bombardier could not have evolved. All the guy did was speculate and hallucinate a series of steps using some examples of similar beetles.  His attempt to ignore the Creator is similar to a gag I use where I line up pieces of metal and items from my toolbox to "proof" the evolution of a wood screw. Now he is a creationist, but like his beloved Darwin, it’s too late. On the “Articles” page I have several articles on the bombardier including this one.

POLITICIANS

I still wonder whay a 50% black 50% white man is called "America's first black president." Alan Keyes is my man.
-------------
See Joe Manchin under BABY KILLING and Al Gore under LIBERALS.
------------
I snicker at the predicament of liberalism but I do not gloat over the personal fall of anyone. In June of 2011 a typical hypocritical liberal (a NY Congressman) got caught in sex sin and proceeded to pile on lies to try to hide. He is one of many politicians (including conservatives) caught up in scandals involving money and/or sex. All humans are prone to sin in seeking money. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (I Timothy 6:10) Every man (including me) has committed sex sins including adultery. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:28) If I could have a man-to-man with the pitiful politicians I would focus on their only solution.
-------------
Politicians (I include lawyers here because many politicians are lawyers. There should be a law against tort lawyers) tempt me to believe humans actually descended from insects (evolutionists believe it). Republican Shelly Moore Capito spouts that she is pro-life. I found it odd that her office is nearly next door to a Charleston abortuary yet none of her staff offered a drink to some pro-life protestors during a horribly hot summer day. Also, for political reasons, Mrs. Capito refused to send a letter verifying that my son (who was in serious trouble) had adequately performed her lawn care. If homosexuality (sodomy) is such a nice thing why did Senators Byrd and Rockefeller refuse to answer this question: “Is anal intercourse normal and healthy?”
-------------
The Mindless Masses are uninformed and willing to let the politicians make decisions for them.
-------------
Democrats (i.e. “Demoncrats”) are not what my father was. They have sold out to liberals. Any Christian who remains a Democrat is in serious spiritual trouble. Republicans (i.e. Republicrites”) are just the flip-side of Democrats because Republicans have compromised with liberals. See my article “Political Bugs.”
-------------
Speaking of politics, how about some common sense in Congress? In no particular order: do away with the Department of Education; fix a flat tax; eradicate earmarks; block the borders; win wars; two words—TERM LIMITS; welfare is a wreck—workfare is a winner.
-------------
Obama (bo) would rather kill babies than terrorists. He could not avoid getting a few of them—especially Osama. Mainly bo is destroying the military. Just study what happened to the homosexual warrior nation of Sparta.

LIBERALISM

Liberals are always griping about “censorship”. It’s funny they want to censor my book Protester Voices—the 1974 Textbook Tea Party.
-------------
Accurate Axioms:
1. Liberals are liars
2. Don't trust anything they say--always verify.
3. Presume verification is not final.
-------------
Al Gore is a great example of goofy liberals. He talks about empowering women while he eyeballs (or more) women other than his wife. He Gets on common guys for gaS guzzling while his own lifestyle goes far away from green.
-------------
There are some likeable liberals. It is their ideology that is insidious.
-------------
The ACLU is a frightening farce. The power that evil organization wields is sickening. I can think of some accurate labels for the “L”. "Liars" would be a good one. In 2006 I wrote to the ACLU-WV asking for assistance in seeking appropriate legal remedy regarding the promotion of New Age/Eastern mysticism religion of Yoga in Kanawha County schools. I offered to provide references which disclose the religious nature of Yoga.

The ACLU was informed that “The argument that Yoga is used only for "relaxation, exercise, and self-confidence" is without merit. If the ACLU allows that argument to prevail then the ACLU should allow creationism to be taught as long as it's for scientific purposes (no Bible or God references) and because it broadens the horizons and increases the cognitive processes of students.”

I asked, “Although I think there is no such thing--would the ACLU allow the so-called "Christian Yoga" to be used?”

The ACLU website lies when it says “ public schools themselves should not be in the business of promoting particular religious beliefs or religious activities.” (http://www.aclu.org/religion-belief/aclu-and-freedom-religion-and-belief) Of course, the ACLU rejected my request.

In 2008 the problem was worse and I tried again. After another rejection via a form letter wrote: “ Since your form letter did not provide a date of my request, nor a restatement of my request I shall not bother you with restating it here…I must conclude that the ACLU actually approves of the objectionable activity I brought to your attention. Shame, shame on the ACLU.

The ACLU website brags about its crusade against (the Christian) religion in West Virginia schools. Here are some things the local ACLU brags about on its website: In 20006 they sought removal of a “portrait” of Jesus from a high. In 2002 they forced a school district to end its graduation prayer policy. In 1999 they caused a county school system to remove the Ten Commandments from being posted.

Religion rules in Kanawha County Schools.
-------------
In 2011 I contacted the Kanawha County Public Library regarding its avid promotion of “Yoga for Kids.” I pointed out the religious foundation of yoga and closed with “ I see no problem with an adult lecture format about yoga or any religion. To entice children into a stealth religion is wrong. The St. Albans branch has a program titled “Healthy Camp Challenge” which seems to be a non-religious program that would be beneficial to the well-being of children. I suggest that program replace the religion of yoga program.”

I got the usual liberal righteous rationalization to which I replied: You indicate that this has been a practice of the KCPL since 2007 “because there is interest in it.” Also, you stated that the program is “completely voluntary, and parents must give permission and be present.” I wonder if permission would be granted if the library disclosed that yoga is a religious aspect of Hinduism. I urge you to make that clear on the form. On KCPL shelves there is ample documentation that yoga is closely connected to Hinduism. Of course, some parents don’t care, but there are likely many who are unaware.

“Now, since I assume that the KCPL does not want to be guilty of establishment of a particular religion, I will provide information about programs that would be widely popular with patrons of every branch. These programs are connected to the Christian religion, but the presenters would make sure that their program is not like a church service. Of course, unlike the yoga evangelists, these men would not use subterfuge.”

Time will tell if the KCPL will allow a token appearance from those men. (Note: Several years ago, I presented (at two branches.)

I have seen the devastation caused by alcohol. I doubt if it is much less, if any, than drugs. Appeal of the 18th amendment was based upon "Prohibition became increasingly unpopular during the Great Depression, as the repeal movement, led by conservative Democrats and Catholics, emphasized that repeal would generate enormous sums of much needed tax revenue, and weaken the base of organized crime." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition#Prohibition_in_the_United_States)

Only a fool or someone who is intentionally ignorant or someone who is brain-washed or someone who is a liberal—wait, the word “liberal” is a synonym for each of the first three categories—does not realize that Islam is at war with America. Actually, they are at war with the world. They know that if America falls, the rest will too. Any Muslim who is not a strong believer in Jihad is the same as a lukewarm (or fake) Christian. He is not following what his Book says.

I am a Christian and I know how it all turns out so it is not scary at all.

However, since no one knows the date of the end, we need to stand up and defend ourselves from the enemy.

Folks, I think liberals are more dangerous than Muslims.

America’s first modern Tea Parry (the 1974 Kanawha County Textbook Protest sounded the alarm. (http://www.insectman.us/testimony/text-book-war.htm)

If we keep our children in public schools we are going to produce more liberals.

The first step to victory (if the Lord delays) is to Rescue the Children!
-------------
Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy exposes liberals for what they really are—hypocrites. When asked about conservative hypocrisy, the author answered, “Yes, we are all hypocrites and I talk about that in the book. But liberal hypocrisy and conservative hypocrisy are quite different on two accounts. First, you hear about conservative hypocrisy all the time. A pro-family congressman caught in an extramarital affair, a minister caught in the same. This stuff is exposed by the media all the time. The leaders of the liberal-Left get a complete pass on their hypocrisy. Second, and this is even more important, the consequences of liberal hypocrisy are different than for the conservative variety. When conservatives abandon their principles and become hypocrites, they end up hurting themselves and their families. Conservative principles are like guard rails on a winding road. They are irritating but fundamentally good for you. Liberal hypocrisy is the opposite. When the liberal-left abandon their principles and become hypocrites, they actually improve their lives. Their kids end up in better schools, they have more money, and their families are more content. Their ideas are truly that bad.”  (http://old.nationalreview.com/interrogatory/schweizer200510250827.asp)

(2004 secular source) “Are Liberals more generous than Conservatives? Not according to the 2004 "Generosity Index" published by the Catalogue for Philanthropy.” (http://www.crosswalk.com/1296930/)

(2006 ABC News) "It turns out that this idea that liberals give more…is a myth… Religious people are more likely to give to charity, and when they give, they give more money: four times as much. And Arthur Brooks told me that giving goes beyond their own religious organization (church)." (http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2682730&page=1)

(2008 secular scholar) “Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household. Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood… The single biggest predictor of someone's altruism, Willett says, is religion.”  (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html)
-------------
A liberal, who is also a devout Mason, told me he does not go to church because he didn’t want to be around all of the hypocrites. Hmmm. He faithfully runs a booth at a popular Flea Market every week-end and happily peddles his product to those hypocrites that arrive after they leave church.
-------------
The liberal Charleston Gazette has been kind enough to publish several (not all I submitted) of my articles. The Gazette editors are in a dilemma. If they refuse my pieces it is obvious censorship. Therefore, they likely pray that my opinions will generate little support and much criticism. I have to be a little cynical about the Gazette motives when I am limited to 500 words yet a liberal who gets as much (if not more) opportunities to opine in the Gazette recently had an anti-Christian/conservative piece that had over one thousand words. That is logical to me if I try to think like a liberal.
-------------
Speaking of liberal thinking, reminds me of a discussion I had with an atheist Gazette official. After we exchanged some emails I was struck with the thought that liberals (in this case a liberal atheist) are full of faith, fantasy, and faulty logic.

The man has steadfast faith that life will arise from non-life. He fantasizes that living things are evolving when all he sees (and anyone has ever seen) is that all things are devolving. In his fairy-tale world, he imagines that Bible-believing Christians (i.e. fundamentalists) should become perfect (even sprout wings and wear a halo). He, using faulty logic, thinks it is atrocious that America has killed thousands of mostly combatants in Afghanistan, yet has no qualms about the millions of innocent babies that are slaughtered in America. If thinking like that is called logical it must have a prefix. How about loony-logic? Loony-logic can be a synonym of liberal-logic.
-------------
Liberals support social positions that are self-righteous and even harmful to human dignity such as welfare without work (excluding those few who really are incapable of doing something--even picking up trash in their neighborhood).
-------------
Liberalism is a form of insanity. According to Michael Savage in Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions) and in the The Liberal Mind by Dr. Lyle Rossiter, liberalism is a “product of psychopathology: a massive transference neurosis acted out in the world's political arenas, with devastating effects on the institutions of liberty.”
(http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2008/09/modern_liberali.php#). I think liberals are merely in state of sensibility stupor. Some of their political and social (immigration, national defense, the environment, gun control, and globalism) range from naïve to nutty. On certain issues, liberal looniness is lethal. They look at a cosmos which has been observed for thousands of years by billions of people as devolving and they see evolution--thereby siding with anti-science. They ignore the overwhelming evidence that homosexual behavior is physically and mentally devastating and promote it (sodomy) as a normal (See “Politicians" above). They look at ultrasound images of preborn children and say it is acceptable to kill the kids. People either leave liberalism, by taking a ride on the reality road, or slide into senseless stupidly and become levobortomites (see above).
-------------
I found out just how open-minded liberals are when I teamed with some other military veterans to oppose the 2004 presidential candidacy of the traitor John Kerry. It was personal, not political, with us--the group was formed by me, a life-long Independent, and a friend, a life-long Democrat. The first time we appeared, on a public sidewalk, outside of a John Edwards event, we were cursed and even nearly run over by a swerving SUV. Several times, union thugs hassled us by attempting to block our signs from view. Our group was (although quite unique and newsworthy) ignored by nearly all of the news media (actually all of the print media).

Liberals are more dangerous to America than are terrorists or communists because liberals rot the fabric of society.
-------------
Sodomite soldiers makes as much sense as sails on submarines. For the truth about homosexuality see http://americansfortruth.com.

Although liberals haven’t realized it, America is at war against Islam because Islam attacked us. Moderate Muslims = lukewarm Christians. Neither is true to what their Book teaches.

There is no one more narrow-minded than a self-proclaimed “open-minded” liberal.

Blaming guns for murders is as logical as blaming forks for fat people. More deaths and heartache have occurred due to alcohol consumption than by bullets fired by civilians.

Liberalism is not limited to pale skin pigmentation. (See below.)

Black folks have more to fear from hook-winking liberals than from hood –wearing Klansmen. The first modern Tea Partiers saw that in 1974.

People (mainly Hollywood yokels) who exercise, energize, and surgically excise to look good and the shallow people who admire them. What makes a make-up covered talented human being have a more valued opinion than that of natural hard-working country folk? They both need deodorant.

Men (and worse-women) with blatant clergy collars or those people who are big-school scholars do not have an advantage on spirituality or sagacity.

So called feminists are not feminine in a wonderful Biblical sense, they are merely liberal females. That, by the way, is not a compliment.

Allowing women in combat units or on United States warships is an abomination. I know, personally, that going to sea is tough for a man. No woman should have to endure the experience. I can only imagine how that would be compounded in a combat situation. Insect societies such as wasps and ants let the women do the fighting—that is what God designed.

BABY KILLING

Once I stood with the Missionaries to the Preborn in Cross Lanes, WV for an afternoon display of murdered babies. A pastor from a local church came up and expressed his disapproval because middle school busses wee passing. He should have been concerned to what those kids were being exposed to everyday in their school.
-------------
The major West Virginia pro-life organization, West Virginians for Life (WVFL), is well aware of the questions I posed to Senator Manchin (see next paragraph). It is amazing that WVFL has not made use of this situation. When I attend WVFL rallies at the capitol building I notice it is a great time for politicians to pose with WVFL leaders. Babies continue to be slaughtered in West Virginia.

In mid-July 2011 I was informed that WVFL has a "Manchin Betrayal campaign in its beginning stages."  I pray that WVFL will make this the first step in a more agressive effort to save babies.
-------------
On August 31, 2011 I sent the following via Senator Manchin’s website contact form: “If Senator Manchin wants to pretend to be opposed to abortion and still send taxpayer money to the greatest baby killing organization ever to exist he should at least read the book “unPlanned” (http://www.unplannedthebook.com/) by a former Planned Parenthood leader. If the senator wants to waste taxpayer money by sending me a letter through the USPS instead of email, please ask him to directly reference the book.”

On May 25, 2011 I asked (in writing to one of his deputy staff members) US Senator Joe Manchin a couple of clear and concise questions based upon a 5-1-11 AP article in the Charleston Gazette in which the West Virginians for Life anti-abortion group claimed that he has abandoned the pro-life movement. In the article “ Manchin cited a lifelong opposition to abortion but also said the funds help provide cancer screenings, family planning and other health services for women he called vital.” I told the deputy that I wanted straight, not political, answers. I will report on his response to the following two questions when it comes.

1. Do you consider abortion the taking of a human life?

2. Planned Parenthood admits to aborting 330,000 babies last year. At what point (400,000? half a million? x?) would you be moved to defund that baby killing organization?

On June 21 I sent him the obvious answers. I wrote, “Senator Joe Manchin's presumed answer to two simple questions: “Abortion is taking a human life (it has to be since I proclaim to be pro-life), but I will allow at least 1/3 million babies per year to be killed because the major baby killing organization provides other needed health care services to women. Senator Manchin, with all due respect, when you really want to stop being an accessory to baby killing please let the citizens of West Virginia know.”

On July 11, 2011 Senator Manchin sent me a letter claiming to be “A lifelong abortion opponent.” Amazingly, he claimed “that not one single federal taxpayer dollar is used to fund abortions in this county.” He touted a bill he introduced to set up a “firewall” to protect the funds that go to “cancer screenings and family planning.” Can he be so naïve that he thinks this can be done with the evil people of Planned Parentood? Of course not! He is just another politician. He is worse than an outright liberal. At least they are honest.

I responded on his website (edited for typos):

You chose to not answer my simple questions and only provided political tripe. Your "logic" is like saying you would provide federal money to the Klan as long as none of it was used to lynch blacks because the Klan came up with a program that provides cancer screenings and "family planning" (for PP that equals abortion) to lots of people.

Either be anti-abortion or quick trying to fool people.

Also, if you respond to this, please use email and save tax-payer money.

I received a snail-mail letter dated July 29, 2011 thanking me for my "concerns", telling me he is "proud to represent (me) in the Senate", and pledging to "take the commonsense values of West Virginians and make them work in Washington."  CROCK!
-------------
Major weekly magazine (or any source) that condemn pro-life folks because abortions allow small families, or some other nonsensical reason. One conservative columnist opined that it should be OK to abort Downs babies. I wonder if he would abort them a few days after they were born.
-------------
Some of the most wonderful folks I know are of African descent. It’s too bad so many “Blacks” have sold out to a political party that promotes Black Genocide through the baby slaughter of abortions (see politics/politicians).
-------------
Abortion and sodomy are part of a strategy to attack creation. It is satanic based because it is Satan's goal to kill and destroy (The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. John 10:10). The people that are advocating it are deluded by the slick satanic logic that they are doing good things.  They don't realize where their ideas originate.
-------------
I love dogs and it grieves me to see them (or any animal) mistreated. But it is outrageous that those who mistreat animals can go to prison and those who slaughter unborn babies walk free. A picture is worth a thousand words: http://www.abortionno.org/abortion_no.html.
-------------
“Pro-lifers” who say they are against abortion except (fill in the blank) are not really anti-abortion.

Pro-life leaders need to face the facts.

I won’t even get into the incomprehensible cruelty of humans toward other humans. For evolutionists, it’s just “survival of the fittest” for the most part.

People who believe the Bible (i.e.”Fundamentalists”) may get laughed at. So did Jesus. "And they laughed him to scorn".

In a similar way, we tell others the Gospel, Young Earth Creationism, or the need to rescue their children and their hearts tell them what we say is silly.

People who believe the Bible may be hated. So was Jesus. "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." (John 15:18)

What does Jesus tell Bible believers to do? "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you". (Matthew 5:11-12)
