The Left's Intimidation Tactics Against Conservative Opinion

11/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
For those unfamiliar with the term, Marranos was the name given to Jews in medieval Spain and Portugal who secretly maintained their Judaism while living as Catholics in public, especially in the 15th century during the Spanish Inquisition.

There is, of course, no Spanish Inquisition in America today—no one is being tortured into confessing what they really believe, and no one is being burned at the stake.

But there are millions of Marrano-like Americans: Americans who hold conservative views—especially those who hold conservative positions on social issues and those who voted for Donald Trump for president.
​

Millions of Americans who hold conservative and/or pro-Trump views rationally fear ostracism by their peers, public humiliation, ruined reputations, broken families, job loss, and the inability to work in their field.

If Dennis Prager is right then we are facing the "spirit of fear" like never before in this country.  Intimidation by the world with threats of reprisal for standing for what is right is nothing new.  May the Spirit of the Lord grant us the wisdom to know when we must stand is my prayer.

The Real Russia Scandal the Media is Ignoring

11/20/2017

We’ve heard much ado about Trump-Russia “collusion” in the print and broadcast media since the president’s inauguration.


The media’s interest in this non-story has not ceased. Yet when reports emerged last year that Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, that story was mostly ignored by the major networks.

For the full article click here.

Politics aside all we want are the facts.  The media cannot be trusted because of the obvious reluctance on their part to simply report the facts regardless of how it may effect Democrats or Republicans.

Unfortunately, their bias is so apparent they have lost all credibility in the eyes of informed Americans.

Keep praying for the nation.  The battle for America has never been more intense!

Louisiana's Kyle Duncan, Trump's Superb Choice for the 5th Circuit

A legal powerhouse from Louisiana with a history of championing religious freedom is among President Donald Trump’s outstanding nominees for federal judgeships.

Kyle Duncan is one of Trump’s excellent picks for the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as the president works to reshape the federal courts by announcing slate after slate of his choices to fill more than 160 vacancies across the country. These are men and women who take the Constitution and the rule of law seriously, and Duncan is a superb example.

Nothing effects religious freedom in America more than the judges setting on benches in the courts of the nation.  We need competent men and women who respect the constitution and understand the original intent of our Founders.  For our Founders religious freedom was the bedrock of the republic.  

As you become aware of good men and women who are prepared to serve as judges with deep respect for the cornerstone of freedom in America--namely religious freedom--pray diligently the Lord places them in these strategic positions.

How the Electoral College Protects Against Voter Fraud

“Our new Constitution is now established,” Benjamin Franklin wrote to a French physicist in 1789, “and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

Perhaps Franklin should have added one more item to his list of certainties: dishonest people will always exist—and they will always cheat. It’s part of the human condition.

Unfortunately, no election system can turn dishonest people into honest ones. Where people are vying for power, there will always be motivation for fraud. The best that an election system can do is to throw up as many hurdles as possible to dishonesty and to minimize its effects.

​The Electoral College accomplishes both of these goals far better than a direct national election can.

​Click here for the full article.

Stewardship of our freedom is an endless task as discontents in society seek to destroy the system of government that has produced the greatest measure of freedom ever known to mankind.

The best contribution we can make to the preservation of the nation is to defend the great ideas under such attack today.  Have gracious conversations, BUT HAVE THEM.  Do not be intimidated by those who desire to reshape America in the mold of past failed states.  Instead let's celebrate American exceptionalism and never apologize for it!

Five New Trump Judicial Nominees Confirmed

11/6/2017

The Senate confirmed five new federal judges this week, bringing President Donald Trump’s total to date to 13 jurists.

To recap this year’s confirmations: We have one new Supreme Court justice, eight new federal appeals court judges, and four new U.S. district court judges. Trump thus surpasses the four prior presidents’ records, while tying President Ronald Reagan’s accomplishment of placing eight judges on the appeals courts in his first year.

For the full article click here.

President Trump seems to be moving forward on the work before him as diligently as possible.  In regard to the Courts, his appointments will generally be conservative and most likely will have a deep appreciation for religious freedom.  It matters who is in the White House and perhaps the greatest way a President can influence the direction of the nation is through his court appointments.

If you need a prayer focus for future blessings on our nation seek the Lord for his favor in the Courts.  We need godly men and women who fear the Lord serving in those positions.

Less Christian Persecution with Obama Out, Trump In

An attorney fighting for the rights of persecuted Christians is pleased with the announcement by Vice President Mike Pence that the Trump administration will go around the United Nations to provide much-needed aid directly to victims of genocide in the Middle East.

​
The new policy recently announced by the VP comes as welcome news to Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver, who explains that during former President Barack Obama's tenure, neither the effort nor the focus was enough to directly aid persecuted Christians.

Click here for the full article.

I must say with a new administration the battle to maintain and secure religious freedom in America and assist persecuted Christians in other lands is headed in the right direction.  The philosophy of a setting President makes all the difference.  A President's priorities trickle down into every area of his administration and is reflected in the kind of decisions made. 

Thank God for VP Pence and his diligence to implement the current President's philosophy.
