Prayer is Our Inheritance

Prayer is Our Inheritance

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Memorial Day, May 25/14

Our recent Presidents, the 40th was especially gifted in his ability to communicate great truths to the American people. Ronald Reagan said:

"Without God there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscious ... Without God there is a coarsening of society; without God democracy will not and cannot long endure... If we ever forget we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."  Barton, Myth 249

Outstanding letter to the Editor, Orange County Register, May 22,23, 2014:

" I think UC Irvine Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is wrong ["Court Obliterates wall that should separate church, state," Opinion, May 7],

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights prohibits the establishment of state-sanctioned religion. They do not guarantee happiness or a life free of discomfort or anxiety. If publicly requested divine guidance (prayer) offends your sensibilities, don't participate. No one is required to participate. No one is required to participate, nor should they be.

The Founding Fathers never envisioned a separation of church and state. The entire premise of our independence and the foundation of our society is predicated on divine blessings. The idea that our rights are derived from God, and not man, is the cornerstone of our society. Without this guiding principle the rights of man become the rights of tyrants and despots. We are inextricably bound to religious values, for without this guiding principle our nation's birth is illegitimate.

The elegant, profound statement from the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," affirms that the ultimate authority is beyond humanity's realm.

Freedom of religion, not from religion, is what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to the nation. Freedom to worship, or not worship, the legacy of our founding: "Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

No one is required to participate in any religious ceremony or even in a moment of silence. As long as they do not disturb others, they can count sheep or do long division, and the state can not object.

The idea of any spiritual reference should be forbidden from the public square is ludicrous. Atheism and agnosticism are belief systems unto themselves. Trampling the rights of others to satisfy the secular minority is a misinterpretation and abuse of our laws.

It is disingenuous to suggest that generic spiritual expressions and references to a creator and creation are offensive since our existence confirms the act of creation, and creation implies a creator.

Whether the ultimate goal of these secular devotees is more sinister than simple narcissism is immaterial. Their beliefs and heightened sensitivity have no precedence over another's. Denying creation is counter-intuitive and equally offensive.

Our society is based on Judeo-Christian values as codified in the Ten Commandments. This is not a slight of other religious or secular beliefs. It is nothing more than an acknowledgement about the divine origins of our rights and freedoms.

If successful, those who would deprive us of our moral compass will they have spawned a society far more objectionable than they can imagine.

California Lies to Itself

California Lies to Itself

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogsport.com - Sunday, May 25, 2014

Preface: This article by Arthur B. Laffer in the Orange County Register, May 24, 2014 is an eye opener. "Making excuses for companies flight" - Los Angeles Times Newspaper's contention that Toyota's departure to Texas wasn't due to California policies is disingenuous. It explains the mind of liberal progressives. If the truth is not politically correct; set the truth aside.  Here are excerpts:

"The Los Angeles Times has  long been an apologist for California's welfare state... In "Was Toyota  driven out of California? Not so fast," ... The authors claim that Toyota's move appears to have nothing to do with Texas' favorable tax and regulatory policies and everything to do with Texas' geographical location. To accept that argument is to accept that:

1. Texas is  a right to work state.

2. Texas has no personal state income tax and capital gains tax.

3. Texas having far more favorable workers' compensation costs and Texas having a far lower minimum wage are all meaningless considerations to Toyota employees and executives. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

4. As of March 2014, 62.3 percent of California's population was in the labor force versus 65.2 percent of Texas' population.

5. Texas' unemployment rate is 5.5 percent and California's unemployment rate is 8.1 percent.

6. According to the U.S. Department of Education, California's schools are the worst performers of the five mega-states (which include Florida, Illinois, and New York) and Texas schools are the best performers,

7. In spite of the fact that California teachers are the highest-paid in the nation, earning salaries 40 percent higher than those of Texas teachers.

8. California has the highest poverty rate in the nation.

    I (Arthur) left California eight years ago for tax reasons and for tax reasons alone. I love California; I just don't love the policies politicians impose on Californians... My advice to the L.A. Times is self-delusion does no one any good...

9. As of last week, U-Haul listed the cost to rent a 26-foot-long truck, one way from Torrance to Plano, as $2,626, while the Plano-to-Torrance rental for the same truck was $1,264.

10. Over the past 19 years, California has seen net out-migration and taxable income in every year, save 1999, Texas, on the other hand, has not had even one negative year.

11. The cumulative effect from 1992-2010 of taxpayer immigration and out immigration on California's total adjusted gross income in 2010 was a loss of 7.1 percent, or $46.3 billion...

12. The reason why Occidental was headquartered in California in the first place was to be near its profitable California oil patch. California has vast quantities of oil and natural gas reserves as does Texas... Texas encourages the extraction of oil and gas. California does not." That says it all.

George H. Kubeck

Texas is also a pro-life state & is not stupid with Catholic-in-name-only politicians like Jerry Brown.

By David Horowitz - How Republicans Can Win - Go for the Heart, Inc. 484-380-3279

"The Campaign Narrative: The two emotions that drive politics - hope and fear ... This is the story of the underdog  and his triumph over odds.... the Republican narrative, it is policies rather than human actors that stands in the way of opportunity. Higher taxes and too much regulation - too much government - will stifle opportunity for Americans who are on the way up... Obama dismissed the Republican argument ... "All [Republican] have to offer is the same prescription they've had for the last thirty years: Have a surplus? Try a tax cut. Deficit too high? Try another. Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, & call us in the morning...

            Democrats' narrative - the private sector doesn't provide enough opportunity for those left behind, and government programs are necessary to fill in the gap. Democrats want to help people who need help. That is a powerful emotional appeal... [They] Republicans are the enemies of hope ... the hopes of America's underdogs for equality, a fair share, and a helping hand when they need it... Republicans are the enemies of women, children and the environment...

          Democrats had been in power four years, but at the 2012 Republican convention, there was almost not mention of the victims of Democrat policies: ... Democrats chose a strategy of diverting attention from their candidate by attacking Romney as a member of the wealthy uncaring class who fired people mercilessly, shipped jobs overseas and was too rich to care about other people.

1) What about job destroyers? ...Democrats who are killing the jobs of ordinary Americans... How many jobs did America lose under Obama's anti-business reign? ... The officialunemployment rate in Detroit after 50 years of Democrat rule and four years of Obama stimulus was 19%, but actually 45% were unemployed. 35% of Detroit's  citizens are on food stamps. Democrats destroy jobs and make people poor. Why wasn't there a $300 million Republican campaign saying this?...

Republicans can neutralize the Democrats' attack on them as defenders of the rich, and return their fire: by framing them as enemies of working Americans and the middle class. ...

2) During Obama's four years in office, African Americans - middle-class African Americans - lost half their net worth as a result of the collapse of the housing market. That's one hundred billion dollars in personal assets that disappeared from the pockets of African Americans because of a 25 years Democratic campaign to remove loan requirements for homebuyers...

3) Democratic bundlers on Wall Street who had poured $100 million into the 2008 Obama campaign made tens of millions off the misery of those who lost their homes. In other words, with the help of Clinton, Frank and Obama, Wall Street Democrats made massive profits off the back of poor black and Hispanic Americans. ...

4) If Republicans want to persuade minorities they care about them, they have to stand up for them; they have to defend them; and they have to show them that Democrats are playing them for suckers, exploiting them, oppressing them, and profiting from their suffering.

5) Large populations of the African American and Hispanic poor are concentrated in America's inner cities [which are 100% controlled by Democrats and have been for more than 70 years] Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, South Central Los Angeles ... the unemployment rates are off the charts, the school systems so corrupt and ineffective that half the children drop out before they graduate and those who do graduate are functionally illiterate.

6) Democrats will fight to the death to prevent poor parents from getting vouchers to provide their children with the same education that well-healed Democratic legislators provide for theirs...

7) Subverting family structures through a misconceived welfare system, encouraging food stamp dependency, providing incentives to bring into this world massive numbers of children who have no prospect of a decent life just to earn a welfare dollar. These are corrupt fruits of Democratic welfare policies...

8) Democrats regard politics as a war ... to achieve power to dictate the fundamental transformation of American society into a socialist-redistributionist state. Democrats regard Republicans as enemies standing in the way of social justice and social progress."

GEORGE H. KUBECK, - WE ARE DEALING WITH A FALSE UTOPIAN SOCIAL JUSTICE MENTALITY. WHEN THEY CALL US RACISTS OUR RETORT SHOULD BE. "YOU ARE THE RACIST HYPOCRITES. WHEN WILL YOU STOP BLACK RACISM IN AMERICA.....         "1000 BLACK BABIES ARE KILLED EACH DAY THROUGH ABORTION. 350,000 EACH YEAR. STOP THE GENOCIDE."

The following are excepts from an excellent booklet by David Horowitz, "How Republicans Can Win." Go For the Heart, Inc. 40 Morris Ave., Suite 120, Bryan Mawr, PA. 19010 - 484-380-3279

The One lesson Republicans should agree on is that elections are driven by emotions, not reason....In the 2012 elections, Democrats attacked Republicans as defenders of the wealthy who are not paying their "fair share." Republicans responded by deploring "class warfare rhetoric," which does not answer the charge that Republicans are defending the wealthy and are uncaring...

"Caring" is not one among many issues in an election. It is the central one....How crucial is this concern? In 2012 election, 70% of Asian Americans cast their ballots for Obama, even though Asians share Republican values, are family oriented, entrepreneurial, and traditional . Asian Americans voted for Obama because they were persuaded that he cared for minorities - for them, and Romney didn't....

The Republican response to the Democrats' attack (that's "class warfare rhetoric" has no human face; it's about political style.  ... But elections are adversarial. They are about defeating the opponents. Elections are necessarily about "us" and "them." Democrats are adept at  fraiming "them," as Republicans are not. Democrats know how to incite envy and resentment, distrust and fear, and to direct these volatile emotions towards their Republican opponents....

"An exit poll conducted by CNN asked, "What is the most important candidate quality to your vote?" Among the four choices were, "Strong Leader," "Share your values," "Has a Vision for the Future" and "Cares about People." Romney won the first three more than 54%. But he lost "Cares About People" by 81-18%. That says it all.

Behind the failures of Republican campaign lies an attitude that is administrative rather than combative. It focuses on policies rather than politics. It is more comfortable with budgets and pie charts than with flesh and blood victims if their opponents' policies. When Republicans do mention victims they are frequently small business owners sand other "job creators" - people who in the eyes of most Americans are rich....

It ( Democratic Party) is now a party led by socialists and progressives who are convinced that their policies* are paving the way to a "better world." ... Unlike Republicans, Democrats are not in politics just to fix government and solve problems. They are secular missionaries who want to "change society." Their new order of society - (so-called) "social justice."...

Through government programs they are going to make everyone equal and take care of everyone in need. They are going to establish social equality and create social justice.... It doesn't matter to them that the massive entitlements they have created - social security & Medicare - are bankrupt...

A Republican like Mitt Romney may be a decent  person, but he stand in the way of their impossible dream. Therefore, he is hateful....It this requires lying, voter fraud, or demonizing their opponents as racist, selfish & uncaring,... The beautiful end justifies the not-so-beautiful means.

Progressives' hatred for conservatives is thus not a reaction to a particular issue, or a particular slip of the tongue. It is hatred for what conservatives are. Conservatives are people who believe in limited government. By its nature, limited government means the death of progressive dreams....

Republicans oppose the very idea that government should function as social savior. Republicans are reactionary, and hateful because they stand in the way of a society that can and should care for every man, woman and child from cradle to grave...

A MESSAGE FROM BEN CARSON

A MESSAGE FROM BEN CARSON

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Sunday, May 4, 2014

NATIONAL BEN CARSON FOR PRESIDENT COMMITTEE - P.O.BOX 1376, MERRIFIELD, VA 22116-1376 WWW.RUNBENRUN.ORG

I received this letter Saturday from the National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee. It is an honor to support Ben Carson for President of the U.S.A. in 2016.

"Dr. Ben Carson, as you know, is the man who courageously, yet respectfully told President Obama to his face at the 2013 Prayer Breakfast that Obamacare would be a disaster, and that the redistribution of income is unfair and counterproductive...

There are three critical reasons to put Ben Carson on the GOP ticket in 2016  ... Ben Carson will win. Ben Carson will heal America. Ben Carson is a true Reagan conservative...

Ben Carson will win more than 40% of the Black Vote! In 2011, internal polls showed that Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain was backed by 40% of black Americans... Mr. Cain was well liked, but Dr. Carson is a national hero in the black community... But, suppose Ben Carson receives just 17% of the black vote. Did you know that if he receives just 17% of the black vote it is mathematically impossible for Hillary Clinton, or other Democrat to win?...

That's why they fear a black conservative candidate more than any other candidate.  They know that their grasp on power is hanging by the thread of a despicable lie - conservatives are racists....

The most vicious venom of the left is reserved for black conservatives like Ben Carson.  "...he's got intellectual tumors in his mind..." Toure, MSNBC TV anchor. "Carson is a monster ... and should stay in the operating room." Activist Leo Terre, "He'll continue to be the worst thing that happened to us since he opened his mouth.,"Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Huffington Post...

As recently as 1956, Dwight D. Eisenhower received 39% of the black vote. After all, it was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, that ended slavery and it was Dwight Eisenhower that ended segregation in America....

The election of Ben Carson would create a sea change in American politics. It would herald the end of the far lefty Democratic dominance in America.  ... In fact, Barack Obama has very little in common with the average black American. He was never part of the civil rights movement, he was educated in exclusive private schools, and he grew up in an economically comfortable family in Hawaii, not in one of the poorest areas of Detroit, like Dr. Carson...

But, the Republican establishment is uncomfortable with Dr. Carson because he rightly blames both Republicans and Democrats for the current mess we are in.... Hillary Clinton's Super PAC has already raised more than $1.2 million and they just announced that billionaire George Soros will serve as co-chairman of their finance campaign...

But, just winning is not enough! We must elect a man who will not settle for politics as usual. We must elect a man who is 100% committed to the U.S. Constitution and to the principles of freedom set forth by the Founders. We must elect a man who will insist on a balanced budget, and who is not a captive of political correctness... Dr. Benjamin Carson is that man!..

While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama believe in the Marxist concept of redistribution, Ben Carson does not. He agree with the Supreme Court ruling of 1795 that it is ... "...contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution." Only Ben Carson can finally end the mess in the welfare state. "A truly moral nation enacts policies that encourages personal responsibility and discourages self-destructive behavior by not subsidizing people who live irresponsibly and make poor choices."

Ben Carson has been a kind, compassionate, and skilled healer his entire life. And, Ben Carson is a proud and unrepentant American. "... there is no country I'd rather be a citizen of and call home than America. Where else but in this land of opportunity are people given so much freedom to pursue their dreams, with the potential to bring out the best in everyone...

This is a citizens' campaign to restore pride, justice, economic commonsense, & unity to America.
