These numbers represent our nine years in Iraq.
4,487 American troops killed, 800 billion dollars spent, 32,000 wounded, 1 million men and women served there.

The biggest question of all: WAS IT WORTH THE COST since they started killing each other the next day after our troops left and more deaths since. Thousands of years of cold blooded murder between sects of Islam will continue to take the lives of innocent victims of the crazies there.

Did we pull out too soon or far too late? This question will haunt us for years to come.

Thank you to all soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave all for this country and Iraq as well.

I had an appointment at the VA yesterday and I have made it my practice to always talk to those men wearing the WWII hats and yesterday was no exception. I talked to a Mexican-American gentleman and his daughter and they shared with me his experience in the Philippines. He fought in the war there and was part of the Bataan Death March and spent two and a half years in a Japanese POW camp. I walked away amazed at the privilege of meeting an actual hero who survived this brutal treatment.
Another instance of meeting another Mexican-American Marine about a year ago who fought in the island battles in the Pacific and he showed me some of the scars on his body from wounds he received in those battles.
I was in an overnight stay in the hospital a few years ago and I had an older man as my roommate. The next morning I struck up a conversation with him and was surprised to find him to also be a WWII soldier. He flew as the waist gunner on a B-17 and completed many missions over Germany. He shared that on his last mission their airplane was shot down and the crew was taken to a POW camp in Germany for the remaining two years of the war.
Can you imagine the brutal treatment these men went through at the hands of their horrid captors? No one except those who actually were there can imagine the treatment they received. It is a miracle that they are still alive. I was watching a video yesterday on WWII and at the end it said that only 10% of people living during the war are still alive. They are dying at an alarming rate and it behooves each of us to do what I do and actually engage them in conversation and hear their stories. They truly were the Greatest Generation as they kept America and the world from being dominated by madmen.
70 years ago today, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy!

God bless America and God bless these soldiers, airmen, seamen and Marines who fought during this war!

No matter how much we want to change the facts, the facts remain in place just the same. Just a few examples:
Gravity
That marriage is between a man and a woman
That God created everything, not evolution
That it is a baby in the womb, not reproductive tissue
AND the biggest one of all …

That God will judge all sinners and once death comes, there is no chance to change their minds about Jesus Christ

The Bible has never been disproven or shown to be in error. Some will say, but didn’t the Bible teach that the earth is flat? No, is the simple answer. Try to find it if you can. Atheists have tried to slander the Bible with a plethora of lies, but in the end, God and His word will stand forever.

There is a heaven and there is a hell, and God has offered a free ticket out of hell to EVERYONE on the planet and this for many centuries. For the last 2,000 years, man has known the Christmas story, that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son … well you know the rest, don’t you?

You see, GOD DOES NOT SEND ANYONE TO HELL! They go there by their own free will, in other words, they choose to go there and reject the offer of a way out. I get a bit perturbed when I watch the so-called Jesus Seminar on PBS. These FALSE scholars try to destroy all truth in this long, grueling attack on Christianity. Have you ever seen these same people do a show on Islam, or Hinduism etc.? You never will, since these religions are man made, where Jews and Christians worship the one and only true God. You may react by saying, that is very narrow and bigoted isn’t it? My simple answer is NO! You see, God will sit on His throne at the end of earth’s history and He alone will sit as the Ultimate Judge. You see, all Christians are already in His kingdom, while all who have thumbed their noses at Jesus Christ will stand before what the Bible calls The Great White Throne Judgment. Only unbelievers will be there and there is NO WAY OUT at this point. All will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity. Not my words but God’s, you see!

You may react by saying, that is so unfair and what right does He have to do this?

I can answer both very simply. 1. It is not unfair since all who are judged CHOSE their eternal dwelling place by rejecting God’s offer of a ticket out. 2. God does have the right since He alone created all man and since all souls are His, He has the ultimate right to do with what is His as He sees fit. He will take no pleasure in their judgment, as a matter of fact I believe He will have a broken heart over their choice.

God gives mankind free will to determine their lifestyle choices and how they will live their lives. He only steps in after they die and then, by their own choice, He then places them in the appropriate place of THEIR choosing.

“Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul that sins will die.” Ezekiel 18:4

“For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore, repent and live.”
Ezekiel 18:32

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So, choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
Deuteronomy 30:19-20

You see, the verse that says, “God is love,” means just that. He loved His creation so much He was willing to let His only Son, Jesus/Yeshua, die on the cross to set His creation free from the penalty of sin. If you would just take the time to read the Gospel of John and the book of Romans, in the New Testament, you would understand this clearly.

Happy hunting.

PS, if you have questions, feel tree to reply to this blog. May God open your eyes to see His truth, as He did mine 37 years ago.

It is amazing to read the words of Thomas Jefferson and to see just how prophetic they were about today’s America. Note the following quote and remember how elections are often decided by large cities, in favor of liberals.

“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.”
Thomas Jefferson

The corruption of Europe still exists, particularly in large cities, and this model is repeated in the large cities of this nation. Large cities are the center of moral corruption and the propagators of all forms of vice. Just look at Hollywood/Los Angeles. The movie industry is one of the most corrupt sources of national corruption that we have. Pornography, trash language, homosexuality promotion, and all forms of immorality. How many of us would invite people who practice such vices into your home, yet each day and night these people invade our homes via television and our minds at the movies. Most movies would be totally void of any form of attraction were it not for the exploitation of sexuality and the use of filthy language. Would you allow people to talk and act like this in your living room? For the most part, I would say a flat out NO! Then why are people so fascinated by sleazy movie actors and actresses. What do you call a woman or man who sleeps around without being married? Your first thought was probably correct. You see, this site forbids the use of the word wh-re and wh-remonger, terms the Bible uses frequently to describe this type of person. Well, enough said!

It is a travesty to see the liberals parade all these women out to accuse Herman Cain of impropriety. I still believe that he is innocent of these charges. Why? Why did it take so long for these women to come out in the public and accuse him? Because he is BLACK and a threat to Barack Hussein Obama’s reelection bid, that’s why! The only black candidate must be put out of the race simply because he is black and a threat to Obama.
Most black people in America vote liberal tickets today. They have forgotten that the DEMOCRAT PARTY were the ones behind the KKK and Jim Crow laws and fighting to keep blacks slaves in the south. All one has to do is read the history of this period OR watch Ken Burns videos on the Civil War to see this clearly.
I love black people and see the pain they still suffer because of discrimination. Obama is widening this gap instead of closing it up. Black people are the total EQUAL to all other ethnicities (whites are an ethnicity too). I have been to Africa twice and each time I have spoken in public meeting to them, the first thing that I say is, “You and I are the same, no one is better than anyone else, we are EQUAL.”
The pledge to the flag says it all: and justice for all. It took the deaths of multiplied thousands to set the slaves free. Just look at the underground railroad and see who these people were. The majority of them were CHRISTIANS who were willing to risk all to help slaves to freedom. The same in Hitler’s fanatical hatred for the Jews, it was predominantly CHRISTIANS who risked their own lives to rescue the Jewish people from being murdered.
I wish and pray that some day ALL Americans can truly see each other as their equal. If one looks into the dark history of Planned Parenthood, you will find that Margaret Sanger hated blacks, Asians and anyone who did not have white skin. You may say, “But that was years ago and PP is not that way today.” Which ethnic groups have the most abortions? The black population by far. She called them Human Weeds and said that they should not be allowed to BREED and produce more offspring. Today, the Maggie Award is given to the member who most exemplifies the goals of Margaret Saner. THIS IS NOTHING BUT ETHNIC CLEANSING and which party pushes abortion and which one is trying to end it? Life is precious and the conservatives cherish it enough to go to jail to rescue innocent babies from being sucked out of their mother’s womb. It is the liberals that push a culture of death, from abortion to killing people who are old or disabled. Hitler practiced the same cleansing solution in his day.
So, in conclusion, I say to all black Americans, “Take the time to look into history and see what the Democrat Party did in the past concerning blacks.” Please take the time to know your history and then bail out of the liberal party and cross over to the party that loves life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It does not take a psychoanalyst to see that people who are of the liberal political bent rarely smile, laugh or are pleasant to be around. If one watches the proceedings in the congress of our nation it is not hard to pick out the liberals seated there. Scowling faces and expressions are common place there. We must ask ourselves why this is the case.

First, the ground zero of why this is true is that they are mostly, if not all, atheists. Folks who want to protect a culture of death have little to be optimistic about. These folks are rabid pro-abortionists which translated means, “I want as many pregnant women to kill their babies as possible, especially ethnic groups.” They also want to see old people, who no longer contribute to society, to be euthanized so that they will not be a drain on our economy. They want to see the mentally and physically handicapped put out of their misery. This last one is a little bit tricky as not many would openly insist on this being the case, but it certainly is. Let me demonstrate.

When a woman is pregnant the doctors usually do a blood test, alpha fetal protein, to try and determine whether the baby is a Down’s baby or some other disabling deformity. The second test that follows is the amniocentesis which can detect irregularities with the “fetus” or “reproductive tissue” as they like to refer to it. If irregularities are found they then move the mother and father to “take care of” the problem by “elimination” of the issue. If this is not an out and out design to kill off all deformed babies then someone needs to explain this to me.

How do I know of such procedures? My wife and I went through this with Kaiser Permanente in California. Our first baby, according to the alpha fetal protein test, was very possibly a Down’s syndrome baby. I asked the doctor whether or not this test could be mistaken and he told us that it could not be. With the agenda of HMO’s of not wanting to care for a handicapped child, this danger of spontaneous abortion is no big deal to them. The amniocentesis indicated that there was ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH OUR BABY. Now, the doctor lied to us about the first test being incorrect probably so they would not have to foot the bill for the second test. If we had stopped with the first test and if we were not committed to having this baby no matter what the outcome, then we might have killed a perfectly healthy baby girl. She is now nineteen and one of our greatest joys in our life.

How can anyone, who rejects or hates God, who desires innocent little babies be torn apart in their mother’s womb, who wants old people and the handicapped terminated, be anything but morbid, miserable and full of hatred and anger? It is a formula for a culture of death and misery. Our tax dollars now support the One Child Policy of Communist China. The parents are allowed ONE child only and if the mother gets pregnant again they do a forced abortion if the mother is not a willing partner with them to voluntarily kill her child. Now our government is trying to force all doctors to perform genocide in the womb leaving no room for the conscience of the doctor or nurse.

Folks, our freedoms are being eroded daily in America by these hate filled liberal atheists! The only time they claim to be religious is at election time, but soon convert back to the real values they hold dear. This culture of death has led to mass killings in our schools, going postal is now a cliché in reference to the many killings in post offices around the country, the thirteen people left dead just this last week and another killer who took his own life after murdering so many innocent people. This culture of death stems from the teaching of evolution in our public schools, colleges and universities. It teaches that we are not created in the image of God and are accountable to Him for how we behave, but the result of pond scum and millions of mutations. We are told that we are just another animal in the animal kingdom and it is ok if we kill, rape and any number of atrocities since we are nothing more than a higher animal. Adolph Hitler was greatly influenced by Charles Darwin’s book Origin Of Species and this helped him form the Final Solution for the elimination of the Jews, whom he considered subhuman, along with a number of other ethnic groups. Margaret Sanger actually had some of Hitler’s inner circle on her board in the early days. We are NOT animals but we ARE made by God and meant to live our lives by His standards. Life is precious and it must be protected at all cost. Mr. Obama and his fellow liberals are out to destroy all mention of God in the public forum and they now seek to make preaching the truth in our churches a hate crime. Does anyone out there remember what the first amendment says?

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Let me ask you this question in closing, “Is the First Amendment under attack by liberals today?” To me there is no question about this, but will we do anything to stop the rapid removal of our rights in favor of giving rights to homosexuals and others?

The Tea Party is being slandered viciously today and called every kind of hate filled names. If you like Socialism then just do nothing and it will come to you faster than you can imagine. Mr. Obama’s hero in history is Karl Marx, not one of the famous Marx brothers, but the father of the Communist Manifesto. Do you want to live as they do in Russia, China or North Korea? Then it is time to stand up and make your voice heard!
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke

It is interesting to watch the TV news commentators dance around the Penn State coaching scandal, being ever so careful to avoid the word HOMOSEXUAL sex activity. This coach was a MAN and he had sex with BOYS (the last time I looked up the definition they were MALE), which means homosexual sex. The media is quick to bring up the cases where homosexuals are abused by heterosexuals, but cases like the one in Georgia a few years ago where two homosexuals bound and gagged a 14 year old boy and sexually abused him until he died go largely ignored.
I wonder why they are avoiding the homosexual part of this scandal? It is probably because it would open up Pandora’s Box against homosexuals in general. The last US census showed only 0.8% saying that they were homosexual, yet roughly 40% of all sexual molestations are committed by homosexuals. Remember all the Roman Catholic sex abuse cases? They were ALL homosexual in nature, men on boys. This is the case in far too many cases of sexual abuse. In the news lately, we hear of school administrators, coaches etc. who had or are having sex with the same gender as themselves, men and boys – women with girls. THAT IS HOMOSEXUAL folks! The media would not want to tarnish the image of the beauty of being homosexual, transsexual etc. etc. etc.
The adoption of children by homosexual couples should be outlawed immediately. Cases in California now deal with hormone treatments on children in preparation for sex change operations. It is bad enough for a child to be an orphan, but then to be placed into a house with homosexuals just makes the life of the child dangerous. Homosexuals have CHOSEN their lifestyle, (NO GAY GENE or PREDISPOSITION TOWARD HOMOSEXUAL LIFE) and this forbids the having of their own children, so why should they be given the right to have the child of heterosexual couples? If they want children of their own they can get married to the opposite sex and have a child naturally. This would not be consistent with the nature of homosexuality. All one has to do is to watch a gay parade to see the twisted nature of this people group. The Bible STILL says that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God. He did not wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah for no reason, and the geological evidence is all over the place to show He did just that. Read the story for yourself in Genesis 19 to see it clearly. The tribe of Benjamin was almost wiped out because of their involvement with homosexuality.
I want to make it clear that I do not have hatred for homosexuals. As a Christian I am commanded to love everyone. My heart breaks for people caught up in something that will destroy their lives and ultimately send them to HELL when they die. God desires to change their lives as He does all people and to adopt them as His very own children. Repentance is required and this means turning away from sin and turning to Jesus Christ in faith, believing that He died on the cross to take our sins away and to make it possible to become children of God. Please feel free to reply to this article. I would love to dialogue with anyone who can do so respectfully and honestly.

In 1914, George William Hunter published his book, “The Races Of Man,” and it became the center of controversy in the so called Scopes Monkey Trial. This text book, which the ACLU forced upon the public schools of Tennessee, was the foundation of the trial against Scopes. Scopes was not a science teacher at all but a stooge brought forth to make an issue out of this case to promote evolution. Just note the following quote from the textbook and see just how racist Darwinism and the teaching of evolution really are. There are many such cases that I could quote but I will stick to this one.

“At the present time there exist upon the earth five races or varieties of man, each very different from the other in instincts, social customs, and, to an extent, structure. These are the Ethiopian or negro type, originating in Africa; the Malay or brown race, from the islands of the Pacific; the American Indian; the Mongolian or yellow race, including the natives of China, Japan and the Eskimos; and finally, the highest type of all, the Caucasians, represented by the civilized white inhabitants of Europe and America.” Other evolutionists of the time equated white men as coming from monkeys and black men as coming from gorillas. How sick!!!

Now, does that seem racist to you? Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, held very similar views and her views are still celebrated in PP to this day by the presentation of the Maggie Award to the woman most exemplifying Sanger’s views today. She called non whites “breeders” and “human weeds.” Talk about the ultimate misnomer: Planned Parenthood! It has NOTHING to do with planning parenthood but the exact opposite, PLANNED NON-PARENTHOOD. No children are born out of this hellish organization.

Have you ever noticed that the blacks and browns of America lead the number of abortions today. This is nothing short of genocide and ethnic cleansing, even with liberal blacks and browns promoting this agenda. They are participating in restricting the growth of their own ethnic groups blindly!

Now, the Bible perspective: The Bible states that there is only ONE race of people, THE HUMAN RACE. We are all the same! The Bible speaks of ethnicity but not multiple races. So, which is more LOVING to mankind? Which demonstrates equality? Well the answer is clear …THE BIBLE. Liberals today want to demonize Christians, Jews and anyone else who holds to the Bible. How blind liberals really are to reality!!!

Since 9-11, America has been at war with terrorists around the world, but the war of which I speak is not about violence, bombings and terrorist attacks. This attack has been raging for as long as this great nation has been a nation. Our founding fathers knew that the foundation which they laid would immediately be attacked by those who had no intention of adhering to these truths that should be self-evident to all.

Did you know that America has a creed that was written and adopted in 1918? Here it is in all its glory. See if you can recognize the areas where America is being blatantly attacked today.

“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and defend it against all enemies.” (underlining for emphasis)
Many of America’s citizens and elected and appointed officials have trampled the blood of the patriots under foot and have actually committed acts of treason against our beloved nation. It never ceases to amaze me how a few have taken such a deliberate course to dumb down the citizens of America by choosing to avoid the teaching of our founding documents, especially the Constitution. How many graduates today can say that they have studied this critical document thoroughly? There was a time when eighth graders could not move on to high school unless they could pass a rigid examination on this cherished document. Why would individuals deliberately keep Americans ignorant of the one document that lays out our rights, privileges and responsibilities as citizens? A quick survey of world history will reveal the answer. This dumbing down is always the method used to erode a nation’s foundations until it collapses, then rush in as the savior to put her back on her feet. Does the name Adolph Hitler ring a bell? We used to hang traitors, but today we follow their teaching like the Pied Piper of Hemline as they lead the citizens off into the river. I lay the blame at the feet of revisionist historians, politicians and many religious leaders.
“When good men do nothing evil prevails.” Good men have been lulled into a deep sleep by those who would turn America into a socialist state and destroy our national sovereignty by bringing us under the tyranny of one world government called the United Nations. In the last twenty years there have been great strides made in destroying every foundation that the founding fathers and early Americans held so dearly and gave their lives to protect. Liberty is often precious only after it is lost. What a tragic way to find out about such a glorious heritage. Flag burning, liberty bashing, anti-everything that is right, moral and fundamental to maintaining liberty is up for grabs. Our liberties could soon be lost if God-fearing Americans do not stand up and say, “Enough is enough! America is not for sale at any price and, as a matter of fact, we are totally committed to restoring her to her original condition, so don’t let your ignorance of American history cause you to miss the journey of a lifetime.” We must leave a legacy to our children as our fathers did!

The atheistic establishment today is trying everything to take away the right of American conservatives to speak out their thoughts. Freedom of speech is a foundational to our way of life. The way this works is when a liberal/Socialist/atheist wants to make their point become the accepted way they have to remove dialogue from the conversation. This is the case with Evolution around the world. Evolution is, at its heart, atheism pure and simple. The liberals have now forced the teaching of atheism exclusively in almost every venue of education today. Evolution is man’s futile attempt to explain how life and the universe came to be by excluding God from the formula. Anyone who is willing to seek the truth by looking at the EVIDENCE will conclude that there HAD to be a Creator who did this. Evolutionists are attempting to force it on the public by claiming that it is now an established FACT. The only fact about evolution is the FACT OF THE ABSENCE OF ANY EVIDENCE on its behalf.
The questions that must be answered by them are:
1. How did the first life come into being?
2. Where are the fossils of the transitional forms? We have absolutely NONE to date. Many have been falsified but all proven fakes.
3. How can such complexity possibly have evolved? Darwin himself said that if we find no transitional fossils and if we discover more complexity in cells etc. then his theory is WRONG. Well folks, this is exactly what we find, greater complexity and NO fossils of transitional forms. Did you know that we have actually found fossils of jellyfish? This throws out the whole idea that they have simply disappeared.
4. Where did the dinosaurs come from?
5. How is it that we have petrified trees going through many of the geologic periods of time? How can a tree be there if these layers are for real? They are not! We have actually found these geologic periods upside down, even in the Grand Canyon. Fact: The only place the geologic table is found in on charts. They do not exist like this in nature. The Grand Canyon itself is a physical impossibility in nature. The beginning of the canyon is a few thousand feet lower than the end of the canyon, making water run up a very steep hill get to the other end to wash out the canyon. The evidence actually can be tied to Noah’s flood.
If you want to look at the hard evidence, try answersingenesis and creationscience web sites. If you are willing to just look at the hard facts you will be convinced that evolution is the biggest lie ever perpetrated on the world. You will also conclude, as do many great scientists today, that there had to be a supreme intelligence behind the massive complexity we see all around us. Men like Behe, Kenyon and others who now are in the Intelligent Design camp. Kenyon wrote the text book on chemical evolution until one of his students asked him a question he could not answer. He did further research and discovered his own theory filled with errors.
If one just has an open mind to examine the facts they will discover overwhelming evidence for creation.
