See if any of our presidential candidates bring any of this up at the debate on Wednesday evening.  How about our political leaders in the Republican Party or the so call conservative talk show hosts, Beck, Rush and the rest.<br />
What do you think?  Anybody want to talk about it? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I have said more then once, there is something very much wrong with the Republican Leadership.  The inability of the leadership to get to the core of the issue and take it on, is going to be the Republican Party’s down fall and I might add the country’s</p>
<p><em> “We have come to the cross roads in this political presidential campaign were the candidate’s positions have all been exposed.  There remains only one thing left for analysis and that is their reason for holding those so widely varying beliefs.  We are well past classification of the issue, I want to know why O’bama as a socialist, is running for the office of president of the United States?   He is taking us down an evil path and no one is calling him on it, why not?  I want to know why McCain isn’t asking the hard questions?  And why the government is taking us down the road to economic destruction.”<br />
</em><a href="http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/contrast-and-reasoning/">http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/contrast-and-reasoning/</a></p>
<p>The issues can no longer be continually reasoned through, as they say, “We have beaten that horse to death.” Let us move on to some conclusions.  And what are those conclusions to be if, reason and logic prevails?  The Republican Party must take that step in seriousness.  Here is what someone said to me in an e-mail, who happen to be a Republican supporter, working hard for the McCain/Palin ticket.     </p>
<p> <strong>“This is a state (PA.) that shares Sarah Palin&#8217;s values and a state who will vote for John McCain for Commander-in-Chief. The Palin/McCain campaign is running an embarrassingly incompetent campaign and some of us are asking &#8220;if this is how McCain campaigns, how will he govern?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Do not make false assumptions as to this person’s ability to make astute observations because this person is not alone in this type of thinking.  This up and coming debate should either be McCain’s breaking out and into a leadership position or it will seal his doom as an incompetent leader.  If he fails we in the “Grand Old Party” should start asking how grand is it and were is the leadership taking us. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From “Miles Franklin” newsletter Friday 10/10/2008<br />
David Schectman CEO</p>
<p>James Turk says:<br />
 “The prospect of hyperinflation is now becoming a REAL possibility - trillions of dollars are being pumped and nothing is happening in the credit markets - FEAR is enveloping world markets. We now think there may be another concerted effort to engage in socialist methods of the State buying up everything, guaranteeing loans, etc. as in Iceland, UK, etc. Welcome to October 2008. We would not be surprised to see more civil unrest as people realize they have been cheated out of their lifetime savings and pensions.”</p>
<p>Same newsletter Jim Sinclair says:<br />
 “Whatever is done to resolve this global financial crisis is going to inject incomprehensible amounts of new money into the global financial system.”</p>
<p> “Academics see the world as a &#8216;Picture In Time.&#8221; That means they are static thinkers who can&#8217;t perceive motion. Visionaries like Harry, Monty, Trader Dan &amp; Tony are &#8220;Dynamic Thinkers.&#8221; At present, some academics are promoting the dumbest line I have ever heard. They say that all this new money going into the system is not monetary inflation because it is simply replacing all the money lost and therefore is a wash. That is part of the thinking pattern I am talking about and it&#8217;s dead wrong.”</p>
<p> “You can be certain that a repetition of Germany&#8217;s Weimar crisis is coming soon. There is nothing that can be done to make matters better - even if done by governments unilaterally in a unified action. In fact, such action will only serve to make matters worse.”</p>
<p> “The larger the financial action, the deeper the financial fall. The G7 still thinks they run the world. That should tell you something about the degree of what they can do.”</p>
<p>Same newsletter Monty Guild says:<br />
 “Merrill Lynch issued a big report today on the banking crisis.</p>
<p>Here are the main points:<br />
1. Everyone is waiting for the big government solution.<br />
2. Coordinated moves will not necessarily be effective, but it will be historic if it happens.<br />
3. We are barely past the halfway point of the credit down cycle.<br />
4. People will continue to crowd into treasuries Rosenberg (and in my opinion, gold).<br />
5. Corporate profits not yet impacted will go lower.<br />
6. Private sector interest rates are rising.”</p>
<p>Same newsletter Richard Russell says:<br />
Apologies &#8212; Looking back, I&#8217;m sorry that I didn&#8217;t emphasize even more strongly that subscribers MUST get into cash and bullion. When the Dow closed decisively below 10725, I should have insisted, no demanded, that my subscribers get into cash and bullion. At the time, I had intimations of disaster, but this bear market has turned even uglier than I envisioned. Sorry.</p>
<p>My colleague in “Blogging” Joe Hillard writes this:<br />
<a href="http://lvpoliblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-cant-fool-market.html">http://lvpoliblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-cant-fool-market.html</a></p>
<p>I ask you what is going on and can’t any of our elected official see what is happening?  Of course they can, but choose to act as “baser sorts” and do nothing but keep their own power in order.  Isn’t there something “We the people” can do?  We are “Powerless” did you older folks ever think this might happen?  I know, I know, of course voting them out is an option but that is not the answer now because this is how the voting will go.  </p>
<p> Let me just tell you what I found out on Saturday (10/11/08) evening.  I’ll be brief because it is just to embarrassing and painful.  First let me say I suspected it to be true but Saturday evening I found out it was.  I was at my 50th High School re-union (Class of 1958) when Allentown High School was yet the only High school in Allentown, Pa.  I took my own survey and as it turns out O’bama got the most votes, as a matter of fact, of the first 4 people I ask O’bama got all 4 votes.  So I decided to stop and not make myself any more depressed then I was already getting.  Well there you have it folks about as an accurate a poll as you get from ABC, NBC, or CBS, and so much for voting in a correction to anything.</p>
<p>But let me just say this; If McCain and the Republican Party don’t want to win they should just stay the course and we can almost be assured of an O’bama Presidency.  If the out come depended on Saturday night class of 58 voting we would have had O’bama in the oval office 4-Zip with me abstaining.  Talking about being “Powerless” and financially broke and part of a global world order we just might see it and shortly.  The “Money Changers” will make it happen. <a href="http://www.themoneymasters.com/">http://www.themoneymasters.com/</a>  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My colleague has written an excellent article <a href="http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/choice-in-government/">http://www.lehighvalleyconservative.com/choice-in-government/</a> contrasting the differences between the parties.  He has gone down the list of issues and different life situations pointing out stark contrasts.  These differences cannot be reconciled if they are deep rooted in one’s suppositions and the sadness of all this is such disagreements can find no reasoning process that can correct them, for they are imbedded in faith even though they might be evil and their faith is misplace in that position.</p>
<p>We are talking about the suppositional starting point of what one believes, it is his core belief, well beyond reasoning.  The reasons for those positions are then used to support and justify the person’s position.  Reason is and must always be the handmaid of faith and the only question that remain is, which faith, which axiom shall reason serve and defend. It is in politics and ethics that the consequences of one’s fundamental beliefs become obvious.  Non-Christian dogma and their philosophies place reason as being independent of and prior to any presuppositions of faith.  Faith in “Self” or something else other then the God of the Bible is there position and reason will always take the command and lead, they will think reason can and will solve their problems. </p>
<p>We have come to the cross roads in this political presidential campaign were the candidate’s positions have all been exposed.  There remains only one thing left for analysis and that is their reason for holding those so widely varying beliefs.  We are well past classification of the issue, I want to know why O’bama as a socialist, is running for the office of president of the United States?   He is taking us down an evil path and no one is calling him on it, why not?  I want to know why McCain isn’t asking the hard questions?  And why the government is taking us down the road to economic destruction?</p>
<p>If the core beliefs cannot be exposed as being evil, we cannot attack any reasoning process for reasoning and logic only point to the evil thing itself, reasoning is not evil.  Reasoning could be false or used in some lie for deception but still the process of reasoning is noble.  For the Lord has said in Isaiah 1:18  “&#8212;let us reason together&#8212;”<br />
 <br />
We have reasoned long enough in this campaign, let us get to the evilness which underlies the issue and why we should expose them and not accept the candidates position.  If we cannot defend something that is a God given right what can we defend?  If we cannot defend the law of the land what can we defend?  If evil is not evil what are we doing?    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the book of Matthew 21:12 it says this of Jesus.  He “&#8212;overthrew the tables of the money changers&#8212;”, it also tells us Jesus “&#8212;cast out all them that sold and bought”.  He not only did it once but twice the first time early in his ministry John 2:15.  It clearly shows Jesus had righteous indignation and/or righteous anger.  “And when he had made a scourge of small cords&#8212;” that is all the time he took and then went to work completing his task.  These as far as I can tell are the only two times that Jesus had this type of emotion.  What provoked this kind of a response from Jesus?  Why was he so intent on what he had to do?  “&#8212;He drove them out&#8212;” and “&#8212;over threw the tables&#8212;” I believe there was no smile on Jesus face and I’m sure the guys that owned the tables did not find it very amusing.  Jesus found no time for mercy or compromising with the “Money Changers” Why?  I believe it is such a grievous sin in Jesus eyes he had no time for the sin or corrective action in the way of teaching.</p>
<p>The Money Changers were taking advantage of the poor people who had to go to them for the half-shekel coin they needed to pay the temple tax.  The Money Changers had a monopoly on were the people could get that coin to pay the tax.  They were robbing the people through a legalized system of extortion and nobody could get around it, not the poor anyway.</p>
<p>To my point, doesn’t this sound familiar the temple tax rip off scheme.  It should, the Money Changers of 1913 created the greatest scam in history by getting President Wilson to sign into law the Federal Reserve Act.  They then had him sell his soul by having him sign into law the Federal Income tax, which the “Money Changers” needed and wanted.  Why?  Because the Money Changers will always be assured of their money and the government coffers will always have access to a source of money through taxation of the people to pay the “Money Changers”. Now here is the insane thing about this scheme.<br />
A/ The Federal Reserve is a private banking enterprise.<br />
B/ The Federal Reserve creates money out of nothing, they just print it, as they are today, there is nothing to back it up, nothing.<br />
C/ After the Federal Reserve creates the money they then loan it to the United States for interest creating the national debt.<br />
D/ The Federal Reserve is a private bank and is not in anyway controlled by the government.  The elusion of government control is just that, an elusion.</p>
<p>You say that’s just great; well let me tell you just how great that is for the “Money Changers”.</p>
<p>Government spends and the politicians love it and they buy all the votes they can buy.  And the debt keeps getting bigger and the Money Changers love it because they are getting rich through interest paid on the national debt.  All the time through taxation “We the people” are getting poorer and can’t figure out what the heck is wrong.</p>
<p>July 2006 “The Whistle Blower” magazine page 5 had this to say;<br />
 “&#8212;it may interest you to know that none other than the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Mr. Ben S. Bernanke, agree with Friedman’s assessment that the Federal Reserve caused the “Great Depression.” <br />
(They will cause the “Greater Depression” of 2009 also) </p>
<p>Louis T. McFadden Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee said on the house floor in 1932.</p>
<p> “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known.  I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks.”</p>
<p>We have with this “Bail Out Bill” nothing but a smoke screen being laid down for an ever-deepening deception and evil.  The Central Banks of the different parts of the globe have not our interests in mind.  The financial complexion and various economical gages are being manipulated to suit the necessary needs of the different Central Banks.  Why I just heard today the global central banks are getting together to unify the rules so they can rip us off evenly and be consistent at it.  All of it is for the control of the currency.  A global currency will effectively destroy all country’s sovereignty and boundaries will cease to be. </p>
<p>The “Money Changers” of Jesus time were no different then from what we have today.  And as Jesus handled them, so should we, throw them out.  There can be nothing safe in compromising with them they must be thrown out of the country and the government must take charge of their money. </p>
<p>Rothchild said;<br />
“Let me control the currency and I care not who governs.”</p>
<p>Controlling the currency is the name of the game and the “Federal Reserve” knows exactly what it must do.  In 1929 they contracted the currency and in 2008 they have expanded it, both devastating to the economy.  All the while the politician knows what he must do to stay in office and have power.  It seems strange that neither one (The Fed’s or the politician) really have crossed swords with one another.  Why?  The fact of the matter is one need not worry about that because the “Federal Reserve” pulls the strings while the other dances.  It makes for a perfectly evil combination of control&#8212;of the people.</p>
<p>The American people should be asking Senator O’bama and Senator McCain what they intend on doing with the “Federal Reserve”?  When the US dollar and economy fails we will have a global currency and from there it will be simply academic what follows next and <strong>it will not be pretty. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the ways one can tell who is mostly to blame for the financial crisis, is to listen to the MSM. The people or party that is to blame is almost always the ones that the MSM gives a pass to. Why? That&#8217;s because the MSM are mostly democrats and they and the democrat politicians mostly have the same world view and think along party lines. It&#8217;s understandable why they do this but something as big as the financial crisis we&#8217;re in, demands the knowledge of why, who and when. Another point is to realize that everyone, including the democrats, will suffer for the mistakes and greed of a few. There is no doubt that the greed for money and political power is where all this corruption started. We need to look no further than Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Obama. They are the ones that financially benefitted the most from the corruption with Fannie and Freddie and their associations with Raines, Johnson and others. The MSM hardly ever mentions the ties between Raines, Johnson, Barney, Dodd and Obama. They just blame it on Bush and so does Pelosi, who thinks she knows more about the Catholic faith than the Pope. Then there is the clueless know-nothing Harry Reid, (scarecrow from oz), who would be dangerous if he had a brain. What about Dodd? He is knee deep in corruption with Fannie and Freddie and has the nerve to say this financial crisis could have been preventable, even though he recieved the largest contributions from them to keep financial reform from being passed by the Republicans who are in the minority. Dodd deserves prison time, along with Frank who had a 10 year intimate relationship with a top Fannie Mae executive by the name of Herb Moses. <a href="http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspt">http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspt</a>.</p>
<p>The reason the MSM doesn&#8217;t talk about this should be obvious. It&#8217;s not what they say but what they don&#8217;t say. Does any democrat, citizen or politician, really care about the truth? By listening to the MSM, I don&#8217;t think so. CNN does seem to be changing somewhat. With the MSM being so left wing biased for the last 40 to 50 years, I always wondered how long our nation would stay free. I&#8217;d rather keep wondering but I think we will find out, soon. We may need a miracle!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was listening to the Dave Ramsey program on the radio a while ago and he summed up the facts of who will determine the future of the United States and how. It&#8217;s very simple!</p>
<p>The people who believe that they are responsible for themselves will vote for one party and the people that think that the government is responsible for them, will vote for the other party. Example:</p>
<p>Who is responsible for my healthcare? Who is responsible for buying my car? Who is responsible for my own problems? Who is responsible for my earnings? Who is responsible for my children&#8217;s education? Who is responsible for my home ownership or lack of ownership?</p>
<p>If you answer&#8230;.I am, you will vote Republican. If you say government&#8230;.You will vote Democrat. Summed up, most Democrats don&#8217;t accept responsibility for themselves and most Republicans do! One good example of that is that most Dems are for abortion, which is the taking of an unborn baby&#8217;s life to pay the cost for the mother for an unwanted pregnancy. They call it &#8220;choice&#8221;, I call it murder for selfish reasons.</p>
<p>Dave Ramsey didn&#8217;t mention party but I am!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why is it that competition in the private sector makes things better, whether it be services or manufacturing, but competition in government makes things worse? We basically have two parties competing for voters. Instead of uniting us, it divides us. The dems buy votes with entitlements and the repubs try harder and harder to encourage voters to be self reliant. Radical Dem groups get involved in voter fraud to get more votes (ACORN). Repubs cut taxes because they believe the people know best on how to spend their own money. Dems take money from the working class for redistribution to the non working class for&#8230;..votes. They call it being fair and compassionate. Dems tell the poor, they will raise tax on the corporations and that will help the poor. The corporations increase the cost of their services or products and the poor pay even more. It does sound good though and it always worked in the past. Almost all Repubs are pro-life. Almost all Dems are Pro-death. Repubs say killing the unborn is wrong. The Dems say it isn&#8217;t killing, it&#8217;s choice! The Repubs say abortion is against their Christian faith. Dems say Jesus was a liberal and had no opinion on abortion. Repubs say the unborn have the constitutional right to life. The Dems say the constitution can be changed to fit their agenda. What is their agenda? More votes!<br />
Dems say health insurance should be a right, but there isn&#8217;t a right to be born. Repubs say that without the right to be born, all other rights mean nothing. Dems say that rights come from man. Repubs say that rights come from God and therefore can not be taken away. Dems say there is no God, (but not outloud), therefore they can make whatever rights they want. Repubs say that our laws were derived from the 10 commandments, Dems say there is no 10 commandments since there is no God. Repubs say we must have a foundation for our laws. Dems say fine, then you will be held accountable when breaking laws and we won&#8217;t. Just ask the MSM&#8230;.. who are Dems.<br />
Well, now that we got that out of the way, lets talk about the differences in the Repub areas and the Dem areas in the country. Most liberal and poor areas that are falling apart are governed by Dems. Most conservative and productive areas, are governed by Repubs. Most crime stricken areas are governed by Dems. Most low crime areas are governed by Repubs. Most concerned citizens move to the areas governed by the Repubs. When crime goes up in the areas governed by the Repubs, it&#8217;s the criminals looking for new areas to rob and kill the innocent. Concerned citizens in Repub areas stay in their houses at night. Concerned citizens in the high crime Dem areas, put bars on their windows and doors and lock themselves in. The criminals are running around free and the innocent are in their own jails. When crime happens, the MSM says little if anything unless someone important gets hurt or killed, like a Dem politician.<br />
What to do?<br />
All libs should move to one area and all conservatives to another, with a buffer zone in between and a big fence. Dems should run the lib section and Repubs should run the conservative section. Each should have their own laws, regulations and taxes, two separate governments if you will! In a few years, the Dems will have a Socialist wasteland and the Repubs will be a free society that everyone wants. All business and jobs will leave the Dem areas because they will be taxed into oblivion to pay for the shiftless and crime costs. The Repub areas will thrive and soon the Dem areas will beg the greedy Repubs to be compassionate and help them out. The &#8220;poor&#8221; will not vote for the Dems any longer because the Dems won&#8217;t have any money left to give them but they can&#8217;t vote for the evil and greedy Repubs either, (so they were told by their Dem leaders). What a mess!<br />
Now, reality!!<br />
We do have two parties we can vote for, there is no fence and all of us can vote for the Repubs if we want to, but if the scenario I just layed out isn&#8217;t real enough yet, it will be soon if Obama gets in. You have 4 weeks to make your decision. Aren&#8217;t you lucky?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found what is affecting our politicians; Dr.Theodore Dalrymple calls it  “False Apology Syndrome” a disease of the ego (see definition below).  It puts them at such a high elevated position that they lose all common sense and use of the mental facilities.  It does not cause them to have “bad faith” as Mr. Dalrymple says below, but no faith at all in the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ.  The disease causes a shift from believing in God to believing in government and themselves and is almost always a fatal flaw and symptom if not reversed.   The “loose thinking” of the politician causes a mental break between their constituent and themselves causing more pain to both sides, one is elevated higher in ego and their complete lack of understanding as to why the other is not understanding them, while the other is bought lower in disappointment and discouragement and finally rebellion.<br />
 <br />
Here is Mr. Theodore Dalrymple’s definition (see below) from which I have added my thoughts and further analysis of the disease.</p>
<p>Don’t believe anything I have to say but do read Mr. Dalrymple article he makes a lot of sense were as I don’t.   You will find his article interesting and right on, and that the “False Apology Syndrome” has come to America. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.incharacter.org/article.php?article=119">http://www.incharacter.org/article.php?article=119</a>    </p>
<p>“False Apology Syndrome — which is not yet found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association or the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition — is a therefore rich but poisonous mixture of self-importance, libertinism, condescension, bad faith, loose thinking, and indifference to the effects it has on those who are apologized to.”</p>
<p>Here is Dr. Mohler’s commentary on Dr. Dalrymple’s article<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman">I was called to task for using an improper descriptive adjective in one of my e-mails.<span>  </span>The e-mail goes out to a small group of people I send things to from time to time.<span>  </span>It offend this politician so much, he ask me to take him off my mailing list.<span>  </span>What I should have done instead of using that slang, crude word, was use a couple of words from the Bible to express my feelings and what I think of these so called Statesman in Washington DC and at state levels along with all you local guys. I’m not sure who said it but “If the shoe fits wear it”.<span>  </span>If it doesn’t fit, then act like a “Statesman”.</font></span><span style="font-size: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Saint Paul in the book of “Romans” chapter 1 tells us what people and these politicians are really like and it is not a pretty picture and if this doesn’t fit you as a politician praise God, stand up, pass the ammunition, and do something to save this country.<span>  </span>They are “vain in their imaginations”, “their foolish heart was darkened”, “God gave them over to a reprobate mind”.<span>  </span>“Being filled with all unrighteousness” and I’ll stop there you can read the balance of what I think prevails within our government and applies to our Politicians. (Romans 1:29-32.<span>  </span>King James Bible)</p>
<p>After receiving the e-mail calling me to task for using the slang, crude word implying what the politician is, I received this article, saying “read this”.<span>   </span>If this doesn’t make your American Red Blood boil and ask the simple question, what are these politicians doing to us, nothing will.</p>
<p>Read it and weep<br />

The word I used to describe our politicians in the e-mail was “Slime Balls” for which I’m truly sorry it did not bring glory to God.<span>  </span>From now on I’ll stick to the Bible and use those words to describe our politicians.<span>  </span>Instead of “slime balls” I should have used these words, as Luke did in Acts 17:5 “lewd fellows of the baser sort”.<span>   </span>King James Bible.<span>   </span><br />
