Do not send us any more requests for money because my wife and I will no longer listen to your babble and misinformation! The Speaker of the House is a democrat lackey and is not smart enough to lead the House and we are no longer interested in supporting a group of fools led by fools. In an earlier letter we stated that if the $100,000,000,000 was not cut from the budget then we would donate to real Republicans and not wimps! Speaker Boehner gave up without a fight on the budget then tried to make it appear that he got a great deal of $35,000,000,000 + . However, when you look at the "great deal" closer you find smoke and mirrors resulting in the same old republican results of zero!
The Republican leadership in congress must not give in to the devious tactics of the democrats when voting on upcoming measures that will increase the national debt. The vast majority of conservative voters are watching your efforts and if Republicans wimp out in the last minutes, like they have in the past, then all is lost and we will hold everyone that votes for the democrats plans responsible in the upcoming 2012 election! Those Republican leaders, meeting with the president and democrats, must be prepared to be real American heroes because the Republic is in great need of someone with courage to do what is right for America instead of what is political expedient for their careers!
Recent statements made by the Republican leadership: "I don't think the big oil companies need to have the oil depletion allowances, but for small, independent oil-and-gas producers", if they didn't have this, there'd be even less exploration in America than there is today and "We're in a time when the federal government's short on revenues. We need to control spending, but we need to have revenues to keep the government moving. And they" (the big oil companies) "ought to be paying their fair share."
That is classic liberal logic if I've ever heard it and I should know, since I was once a true believer in the liberal logic until I had an epiphany. Strange as it seems but I have just had another epiphany, and it is that most of the republican leadership are ill prepared to lead our great country and stop the advance toward the abyss.
We will pray daily that real Republicans step forward to lead us, we know that there are many new Tea Party Republicans that were voted in during the last election that fill the bill. We will only donate to those candidates that convince us that they are willing to fight the good fight against the progressive liberals who want to defeat this great nation! Based upon the timid results of recent events the Republicans have given the impression that they are terrified of the liberal machine and its useful idiots the main street lying media.
God help us,

34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set Americans On Fire With Anger!
The citizens of America have all been lied to. For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control. As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again. It is all a giant sham because we have so much debt and the congress won't do what really needs to be done.
The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this. The current system is permanently broken. 30 years ago the U.S. debt was a horrific crisis that was completely and totally out of control. If we would have dealt with it back then maybe we could have done something about it. But now it is 15 times larger, and we are adding more than a trillion dollars to the debt every single year. The facts that you are about to read below should set America on fire with anger. Please share them with as many people as you can.
What we are doing to our children and our grandchildren is absolutely lurid. Words like “abuse”, “theft” and “crime” do not even begin to describe what we are doing to future generations. We were the wealthiest nation on earth, but it wasn’t good enough just to squander all of our own money. We had to squander the money of our children and our grandchildren as well. America has been so selfish and so self-centered that it is hard to argue that we don’t deserve what is about to happen to this country. We have stolen the future of America, and yet we strut around as if we are the smartest generation that ever walked the face of the earth. We did all of this and kicked God out of the equation at the same time.
All of this prosperity that we see all around us is just an illusion. It is a false prosperity that has been purchased by the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. Did you know that if you added up all forms of debt in the United States and divided it up equally that every single family in the country would owe more than $683,000? We are a nation that is absolutely addicted to debt, and the U.S. debt crisis threatens to destroy everything that our forefathers built.
Yes, everything may seem fine for the moment, but what do you think would happen if the federal government suddenly adopted a balanced budget? 1.3 trillion dollars a year would be sucked right out of the economy and we would be looking at an “economic readjustment” that would be mind blowing.
Enjoy this false prosperity while you can, because it is not going to last. Debt is a very cruel master, and our day of reckoning is almost here. The following are 34 shocking facts about U.S. debt that should set America on fire with anger….
#1 During fiscal year 2011, the U.S. government spent 3.7 trillion dollars but it only brought in 2.4 trillion dollars.
#2 When Ronald Reagan took office, the U.S. national debt was less than 1 trillion dollars. Today, the U.S. national debt is over 15.2 trillion dollars.
#3 During 2011, U.S. debt surpassed 100 percent of GDP for the first time ever.
#4 According to Wikipedia, the monetary base “consists of coins, paper money (both as bank vault cash and as currency circulating in the public), and commercial banks’ reserves with the central bank.” Currently the U.S. monetary base is sitting somewhere around 2.7 trillion dollars. So if you went out and gathered all of that money up it would only make a small dent in our national debt. But afterwards there would be no currency for anyone to use.
#5 The U.S. government spent over 454 billion dollars just on interest on the national debt during fiscal 2011.
#6 The U.S. government has total assets of 2.7 trillion dollars and has total liabilities of 17.5 trillion dollars. The liabilities do not even count 4.7 trillion dollars of intragovernmental debt that is currently outstanding.
#7 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.
#8 It is being projected that the U.S. national debt will surpass 23 trillion dollars in 2015.
#9 According to the GAO, the U.S. government is facing 34 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities for social insurance programs such as Social Security and Medicare. These are obligations that we have already committed ourselves to but that we do not have any money for.
#10 Others estimate that the unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government now total over 117 trillion dollars.
#11 According to the GAO, the ratio of debt held by the public to GDP is projected to reach 287 percent of GDP by 2086.
#12 Others are much less optimistic. A recently revised IMF policy paper entitled “An Analysis of U.S. Fiscal and Generational Imbalances: Who Will Pay and How?” projects that U.S. government debt will rise to about 400 percent of GDP by the year 2050.
#13 The United States government is responsible for more than a third of all the government debt in the entire world.
#14 If you divide up the national debt equally among all U.S. taxpayers, each taxpayer would owe approximately $134,685.
#15 Mandatory federal spending surpassed total federal revenue for the first time ever in fiscal 2011. That was not supposed to happen until 50 years from now.
#16 Between 2007 and 2010, U.S. GDP grew by only 4.26%, but the U.S. national debt soared by 61% during that same time period.
#17 During Barack Obama’s first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.
#18 When you add up all spending by the federal government, state governments and local governments, it comes to 46.6% of GDP.
#19 Our nation is more addicted to government checks than ever before. In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income. Today, government transfer payments account for 18.4% of all income.
#20 U.S. households are now actually receiving more money directly from the U.S. government than they are paying to the government in taxes.
#21 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits. Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.
#22 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.
#23 In 1950, each retiree’s Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 U.S. workers. According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States.
#24 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run out five years faster than they were projecting just last year.
#25 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP. Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.
#26 If the U.S. government was forced to use GAAP accounting principles (like all publicly-traded corporations must), the U.S. government budget deficit would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 trillion to $5 trillion each and every year.
#27 If you were alive when Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now. But this year alone the U.S. government is going to add more than a trillion dollars to the national debt.
#28 If right this moment you went out and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.
#29 A trillion $10 bills, if they were taped end to end, would wrap around the globe more than 380 times. That amount of money would still not be enough to pay off the U.S. national debt.
#30 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 470,000 years to pay off the national debt.
#31 If Bill Gates gave every penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for 15 days.
#32 According to Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a “fiscal gap” of over 200 trillion dollars in the future. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN…."The government’s total indebtedness — its fiscal gap — now stands at $211 trillion, by my arithmetic. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations — including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt — and all projected future taxes".
#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars. That is more than $683,000 per family. Unfortunately, the average amount of savings per family in the U.S. is only about $4,735.
#34 The U.S. national debt is now more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913.
But do our leaders care about statistics such as these? No. In fact, Barack Obama says that we need to raise the debt limit by another 1.2 trillion dollars.
But it is not just U.S. debt that is the problem. The European debt crisis threatens to completely unravel in 2012 and Japan actually has the highest debt to GDP ratio in the entire industrialized world.
In 2012, a total of 7,600,000,000,000 dollars of debt must be rolled over by the G-7 nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China. That doesn’t even count new borrowing. That number just represents old debts that are coming due that must be refinanced.
Anyone out there that insists that this debt bubble can be fixed under our current system is lying or is incompetent. A massive amount of financial pain is coming.
It is time for Americans to wake up from their television-induced comas. It is time for Americans to get very angry. Your future has been destroyed and the future of your children and grandchildren has been destroyed. You better take action while you still can.
Maybe the Inca Calendar, that is predicting something is about to happen that will change global structure and history, is more accurate than we think! In the Bible it states that those nations that do not believe and follow God's word will be destroyed! So we as a nation must consider both our financial and moral standards and make the necessary changes. And I am not referring to "Hope & Change", as defined by "Captain Zero" and the crew of the approaching train wreck!

Large Foundations and the growth of socialism in America.
The Ford Foundation was chartered on January 15, 1936 by Edsel Ford and two Ford Motor Company executives “to receive and administer funds for scientific, educational and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare.”
During its early years, the Foundation was based in Michigan (it would relocate to New York in 1953) under the leadership of Ford family members and their associates. After the deaths of Edsel Ford in 1943 and his father Henry Ford four years later, Henry Ford II, Edsel’s son and Henry’s grandson, assumed leadership of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. He promptly appointed the Gaither Study Committee, headed by California attorney H. Rowan Gaither, to draft a long-term plan for the institution’s future.
In its final report, the Committee recommended that the Ford Foundation should focus its philanthropy on groups and causes that: “promise significant contributions to world peace and ... a world order of law and justice”; “secure greater allegiance to the basic principles of freedom and democracy in the solution of the insistent problems of an ever-changing society”; “advance the economic well being of people everywhere and improve economic institutions for the better realization of democratic goals”; “strengthen, expand and improve educational facilities and methods to enable individuals more fully to realize their potentialities”; “promote greater equality of educational opportunity”; and “through scientific work, increase knowledge of factors which influence or determine human conduct, and extend such knowledge for the maximum benefit of individuals and society.”
Those ideals were the precursors to the Foundation’s present-day, fourfold mission: “to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.”
But as with any objective, the methods used to pursue each of the foregoing goals may vary widely depending upon how a particular organization -- in this case the Ford Foundation -- defines the operative terms contained therein; how it defines the problems; and how it defines success. Because Ford's leading officials pursued an ever-more leftist orientation politically and ideologically, the Foundation naturally began to direct its funding disproportionately toward donees of similar leanings.
When Henry Ford II ultimately resigned from the Foundation's Board of Trustees in 1977, he expressed his profound disgust with most of its trustees for drifting so radically to the political left. Mr. Ford wrote in his resignation letter: "In effect, the Foundation is a creature of capitalism, a statement that, I'm sure, would be shocking to many professional staff people in the field of philanthropy. It is hard to discern recognition of this fact in anything the Foundation does. It is even more difficult to find an understanding of this in many of the institutions, particularly the universities, that are the beneficiaries of the Foundation's grant programs."
The degree to which the Ford Foundation's values and ideals have continued to move leftward since Henry Ford II wrote those words is reflected in the objectives and worldviews of the organizations it currently supports. These objectives and worldviews include: the weakening of homeland security and anti-terrorism measures on the theory that they constitute unacceptable assaults on civil liberties; the dissolution of American borders; the promotion of mass, unchecked immigration to the United States; the redistribution of wealth; the blaming of America for virtually every conceivable international dispute; the depiction of Israel as an oppressor state that routinely victimizes its Palestinian minority; the weakening of American military capabilities; a devotion to the principle of preferences based on race, ethnicity, gender, and a host of other demographic attributes; the condemnation of the U.S. as a racist, sexist, homophobic nation that discriminates against minorities, women and gays; the characterization of America as an unrepentant polluter whose industrial pursuits cause immense harm to the natural environment; the portrayal of the U.S. as a violator of human rights both at home and abroad; the depiction of America as an aggressively militaristic nation; and support for taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand as an inalienable right for all women.
By using its enormous wealth (derived solely from investments in international securities) to promote these ideals, the Ford Foundation plays a major role in shaping American culture, popular opinion, and public policy.
Currently headed by President Susan Berresford, the Ford Foundation identifies the following as its three major Program Areas:
(a) The Asset Building and Community Development program “helps strengthen and increase the effectiveness of people and organizations working to find solutions to problems of poverty and injustice.” Grants in this area “support vibrant social movements, institutions and partnerships that analyze contemporary social and economic opportunities and devise responses to them.”
(b) The Peace and Social Justice program is founded on the premise that “armed conflict destroys not only human lives but also livelihoods, governments, civil institutions, trust— in short, everything in its wake”;
and that “social justice is the aspiration of all healthy societies and the only long-term guarantee for sustaining peace.”
(c) The Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom program works “globally to advance achievement in the arts, education and scholarship and to advance a positive understanding of sexuality. … It also affirms the importance of freedom to think and act critically, originally and responsibly in facilitating the building of more just and pluralistic societies.
It is apparent that the Ford Foundation and other large foundations are truly anti-American to the extreme. The Ford family has promoted a monster that really should not be allowed to exist on American soil. If you look close at these many programs that are supported by the Ford Foundation you can not help but realize how it promotes a far left radical agenda in our colleges and Universities who benefit from these donations!
During its early years, the Foundation was based in Michigan (it would relocate to New York in 1953) under the leadership of Ford family members and their associates.

The Ford family has promoted a monster that really should not be allowed to exist on American soil. If you look close at these many programs that are supported by the Ford Foundation you can not help but realize how it promotes a far left radical agenda in our colleges and Universities who benefit from these donations!

Why The Democratic Party Is Doomed.
The democratic party, as we have known it for the past 80 years, is now in its last days. Yes, the House Republicans may raise the debt ceiling for a mix of spending cuts and revenue raisers. Yes, Barack Obama may win the 2012 presidential contest by devious tricks. Yes, bureaucrats and judges will continue to impose new and costly regulations on the economy. But it doesn’t matter. The long-term trends are almost all bad news for the extreme left wing of the party.
This fight over raising the federal debt limit exposes a key weakness in the warfare-welfare state that has bestowed power onto the democratic party: Without an ever-growing share of the economy, it dies. Every vital element of the democrats’ coalition — unions, government workers, government contractors, “entitlement” consumers — requires constant increases in payments, grants and consulting contracts. Without those payments, they don’t sign checks to re-elect democrats. With the current size of the national debt there is no way that you can tax enough "evil rich people" to reduce this debt before it all collapses and everyone then suffers the consequences of this type of egregious behavior!
Like it or not, Obama is not the new FDR, but the new Gorbachev: a man forced to preside over the demise of a political system he desperately wants to save. Democrat champions in the punditocracy confidently predict that the future of the world’s oldest political party is bright. But in fact, the coalition that is the modern democratic party is doomed. Every pillar upholding its heavy roof is crumbling. Today's democratic party is not the same party as it once was, in fact it has morphed into the progressive party, which is code for communist party!
The democratic and Republican parties are structurally different. The democrats are a coalition, forged in the New Deal, of diverse interests that do not get along well. Imagine the deer-hunting union member sitting down with the vegetarian college professor and the lesbian lawyer and you will begin to see the trouble party leaders have holding the horde together. So far, money and government preferences have been essential. It is largely a party of unions, government workers and retirees, “green” industries, “entitlement” payees, professors, teachers and social-change activists — all of whom require government payments in one form or another. The only major element of the democratic base that doesn’t receive government payments is the professional class (lawyers, engineers, stock brokers and so on). These high-earners amount to less than 5% of the population and are not reliable democrat donors.
On the other hand, the Republicans are a consensus party. Activists and leaders fight like hell — leading democrats to periodically predict the Republicans’ demise — only to settle on some principle that is then adopted by the majority. Tax cuts and preemptive invasions were once battlegrounds, now they are cornerstones. Significantly, very few of its supporters receive government payments. Yes, defense firms, farmers and small-business owners get contracts, subsidies or loans. Yet the overwhelming majority of Republicans pay more than they receive. They want to pay less, not get more.
The democratic leadership is well aware of this trend and it is because of this trend that they have started their new tactic of "fundamental transformation". This is a tactic right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook and involves pitting the have not's against the haves by promoting "the evils of capitalism". This "Hegelian Dialectic process" is right out of the Marxist view of the world!
Captain Zero and his minions want to roundup all their activists and promote chaos through the actions of their OWS stooges. These activities all follow the rules that are written in "Alinsky's rules for radicals", which, Captain Zero, the neighborhood organizer, knows verbatim.
Conservatives have to stay alert and become activists themselves in order to defeat these marxist agitators and make the upcoming elections this year a resounding defeat for the democrats. As a former true believer I know that dirty tricks will occur if conservatives do not become active in their local communities.

OWS and Occupy Christianity?
It's very frustrating to see so many ministers, priests, and "spiritual leaders" climbing aboard the radical marxist ideology of George Soros concerning redistribution. There are many marxist christians who have recently alluded; if not outright stated; that the OWS movement is Christian at its core, give me a break. Some suggest that Jesus himself would be among them. I might agree with that last part, but for different reasons from what they suggest! Jesus sought out the crippled, blind, prostitutes, tax collectors, poor in spirit, demon-possessed, etc., to redeem them; so perhaps he would have been among the OWS crowd, in an effort to save them. Jesus would not have been among them to support their purpose or their approach, and the evidence for this is obvious.
The devil, so to speak, is in the details and once he arrives everything becomes chaos and that is where he does his best work in the deception of the human mind. Many Christian believers are being sucked into the social justice ideology because of the one simple fact that cannot be ignored; the Bible instructs us to feed the hungry and care for the poor and downtrodden. This message is everywhere within the text we hold so dear. Because of this fact, socialists and Marxists have used the Bible, that they largely disbelieve and mock, to bludgeon believers. The argument of Christian charity is inescapable. As a result, some believers have quickly embraced the redistributionist ideology. Others, like me, have sensed a false implication behind the message, which urges us to peel the lemon a little further.
The social justice crowd, which includes Barack Obama (Captain Zero) and many of his progressive minions, promises fundamental transformation, predicated upon the action of wealth redistribution. They promise a vague, undefined, but powerful salvation built on hope. Jesus also promised fundamental transformation, of an equally powerful but opposite kind. The "ends" or results of both types of transformation promise a better world, a utopia, where everyone has enough, and everyone is satisfied. But it is the "means" that give away the holiness, or lack thereof, that believers, and nonbelievers who seek truth, should focus on. It reveals the sincerity of the intent of Jesus, and the wickedness behind social justice. The leaders of the OWS movement are only concerned about keeping the herd under their control!
Fundamental transformation can be dissected, as follows: 1) FT, as prescribed by the marxist left: This movement depends on a "vision" transformation of the collective, that's us. The idea is to convince us that redistribution of wealth is a virtuous obligation to be embraced. This is a tough sell, for obvious reasons. Those with wealth don't want to give it to the government, who have proven themselves incompetent stewards of our tax dollars. Those not wealthy, but who are comfortable, recognize how hard they have worked to acquire what they have and are reluctant to wish higher taxes upon others.
There is something inherently destructive about forcing some to bear more of the burden than others, and most people know this, internally. Thus, the task of persuasion requires the compulsory suppression of the principled values of the populace. A thought transformation of the collective ensues, from the traditional code of fairness, where every man must be responsible for himself, pull his own weight, to the Marxist idea that those who have more should contribute more, so that some can be less responsible. This is easier to accomplish when an economy is floundering and people are scared and poor.
The traditional mindset in regard to money, success, and financial achievement becomes more fluid. The FT disciples need only point to a few who have profited by unethical means, at the expense of others, to demonize the entire body of therich. If the masses can be convinced that wealth is evil, they can be made to believe that it is righteous to confiscate more of it for redistribution to the needy -- to make things fair. The tactics involve encouraging the masses to covet what the rich have achieved, to vilify wealth, to intimidate, deceive, employ scare tactics, and to encourage the message that somehow, the collective is owed something by these rich people.
"We are the 99%" is a redistributionist theme that is being embraced because it gives the illusion that nearly all Americans believe that a few should bear the burden of our economic sins. It is interesting that there is a direct correlation to the fact that the salvation they envision is dependent on the fundamental transformation of the masses the 99%, but the responsibility, paying higher taxes, of a few.
2) FT, as prescribed by Christ: Christ's vision depends on a transformation of a single person. Jesus sought out those who were humble in spirit, and profoundly repentant. He forgave them of their sins. He did this, and continues to do this, on a very personal and individual basis. Salvation is never dependent upon a person's thoughts, words, or deeds, or top marginal income tax bracket. Thus, it cannot be earned. We are forgiven and saved simply because of our humble faith in Christ, and his merciful grace.
As a result of this "new life" in Christ, believers naturally undergo a FT that changes their way of seeing the world. They slowly become transformed into better people, not to earn salvation, but because they have already been saved. This freedom of spirit allows one to try to obey God's commands, including that of helping those in need
The Jesus version of FT is about the decision that a single individual makes, to put his faith in Christ. His salvation is due to God's grace and love, not his willingness to be taxed more. His spiritual wealth is powerful and infinite. He is, so to speak, the 1%. The messages of charity and benevolence are repeated throughout the Bible.
Fear of "running out" is what drives humans to hold tight and not share with others. Perhaps that is the reason behind the redundancy of the message. God knows this is hard for us, so he reminds us frequently that our treasure will be in heaven. Jesus did, however, warn his followers to be only as generous as their hearts allowed, so as not to grow resentment and worry in our spirits. He also warned us not to feed those who are capable of feeding themselves, as this cultivates sloth and laziness in that person.
These are decisions that only an individual can make, for himself. Yet, governments have historically usurped this choice from us. The contrast in the "means" to FT is stark: to transform the collective, negative, coercive tactics must be used, à la Alinsky.
Just reviewing the 10 Commandments, quoted below from instruction in the principles of Christianity by Martin Luther, government FT must encourage the masses to break the following laws of God:
#7) Thou shall not steal: The masses must be convinced that it is right and good to steal, aka make the rich pay their fair share! When the government demands more from a person than that person feels is fair, charity is not involved -- theft is.
#8) Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor: This movement by the left is creating the illusion that all rich people stepped on the backs of the poor in the former's pursuit of the dollar. The sin of one should not indict the rest. The fact is that many wealthy people built ethical businesses by offering fair salaries and benefits to a lot of people. They are now being vilified, unfairly, by this blanket false witness that the left is cloaking them in.
#9) Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house: I have always enjoyed driving through wealthy neighborhoods, admiring the beautiful homes of successful people, and imagining that I might find a way to be so successful. Now, through the Democrat FT, we are being encouraged to despise such success, and to cry out for government to take more from these people to make it fair!
#10) Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his: Refer to #9.
There are many other commands throughout the text of the Bible that are also defiled by Government FT. Meanwhile, the Jesus brand of FT is brought about by freeing the spirit, which is created in the true image of God. This liberty is released by the powerful redemption of our individual souls. It generates within us a willingness to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to share with others the blessings of our labors.
The inherent problem with redistribution is that the tactics at the very core of this ideology rely on the ability of the government to appeal to man's darkest tendencies: jealousy, envy, greed (yes, the 99% are guilty of greed), covetousness, anger, and on and on. The charity approach to solving our problems relies on freeing men from the fear of "running out" and appealing to the light of generosity and goodwill that exists in most who have experienced
economic blessing.
Ask yourself which would make you feel warm, fuzzy, generous, and likely to give again: 1) personally, freely sharing with the needy the fruits of your labor, or2) watching government take the fruits of your labor to give some of it to the needy (what's left over after the bailouts, kickbacks, and under-the-table corruption).
Creating individuals who feel the security and the freedom to give from the heart is a far healthier tactic for the well-being of both the man and the society. Vilification, coercion, and confiscation deprive men's souls of the joy of giving freely. The creed of Saul Alinsky, whom the redistributionist's necessarily worship, is that the end justifies the means. For those who identify with FT through Christ, perhaps a more fitting creed is "the means justifies the end."

Dialectic Process and transformational Marxism - Part 3
The Mind-Changing Process or the 'Hegelian Dialectic Method' has become the cornerstone not only of the global education system, but of 'Total Quality' management [TQM] in all kinds of governmental, corporate and private organizations around the world. Meanwhile, the training programs, assessment technology and data tracking systems that complement and monitor this psycho-social process are growing increasingly sophisticated and intrusive!!
Today’s America shows the effects of that revolutionary ideology. So it should not surprise us that a fifth-grade teacher in the state of Washington would use intimidation to twist a student's absolute truth into a personal opinion. She had told her class to complete the sentence, "If I could wish for three things, I would wish for..." A Christian student wrote "infinitely more wishes, to meet God, and for all my friends to be Christians." Since each student's wishes would be posted on a wall for "open house," they had to be just right. The Christian student didn't pass. The teacher told him that his last wish could hurt people who didn't share his beliefs. Since the student didn't want to hurt anyone, he agreed to add "if they want to be."
The student had to complete another sentence which began, "If I could meet anyone, I would like to meet..." the student wrote: "God because he is the one who made us!" The teacher told him to add "in my opinion. "When the student's parents visited the school, they noticed the corrections. "Why did you add this?" his mother asked. "The teacher didn't want me to hurt other people's feelings." "But these are just your wishes...." "I thought so." The student looked confused. Later, the teacher explained to parents that she wanted "diversity" in her class and was looking out for her other students. But why couldn't he share his views? "I try to instill God's truths in my son," said the father, "but it seems like the school wants to remove them."
The father is right both absolute truth and contrary facts clash with the mind-set needed for the global management systems. The planned 'oneness' demands "new thinking, new strategies, new behavior, and new beliefs" that turn society and God's Word and values upside-down. Facilitated group discussion is key to the transformation, and UNESCO's plan for "lifelong learning" calls for universal participation. Young and old everywhere must be trained to think and work collectively. That is the basis for Marxism and the way for the theory to be successful, otherwise without a plan for retraining there would not be a transformation. Remember that "Captain Zero" wants to transform America with 'Hope & Change' so that all are serfs with the same 'oneness' with a few select elites in charge.
Professor Benjamin Bloom, called the "Father of Outcome-based Education," summarized it well: "The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students." "....a large part of what we call 'good teaching' is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues." This by itself is probably good teaching, however, today some teachers have gone far beyond this point and are really teaching the dialectal process!
Since the student's last comment exposed his "fixed beliefs," the teacher challenged it. Absolute truths such as "God made us" can't be modified or synthesized to please the group. Those who take a firm position on truth or facts will resist compromise and offend the group. Christians must begin to develop courage and profess their faith whenever and wherever they are challenged!
This mind-changing (Hegelian dialectic) process required students in Communist nations to "confess" their thoughts and feelings in their respective groups. Trained facilitator-teachers would then guide the group dialogue toward a pre-planned consensus. The original thesis and antithesis --opposing views such as Christianity versus Marxism -- would be merged or synthesized into ever-evolving higher "truths." As Julian Huxley suggested back in 1947, "the techniques of persuasion and information and true propaganda" must be "deliberately" used "as Lenin envisaged - to 'overcome the resistance of millions' to desirable change."
Today, a more sophisticated version of this brainwashing process drives the social transformation. ...it helps root out individualism and the "intolerant" attitudes that could bring conflict and division. When bonded to the group and trained in the new relational rules, few dare offend the majority by taking a contrary stand. This gives all a new perspective on the "Hope & Change' slogan used by 'Captain Zero'.
"We have moved into a new era,"said Dr. Shirley McCune, keynote speaker at the 1989 Governor's Conference on Education. "What we are facing is total restructuring of society. We no longer are teaching facts to children." The masses must learn to feel that traditional values are an intolerable threat to peace, and Christians must be willing to trade their God-given absolutes for Huxley's view of evolving truths and collective thinking. But God says, “do not be conformed to this world.” Therefore, we make it our aim to “obey God rather than men.” Though the world demands consensus, we take our stand on the unchanging, eternal Word of God. [Romans 12:2; Acts 5:29]
However, the new method of "pooling your ideas" refers to the process of synthesis, which means the group must come to some kind of consensus. ... For example, when a boy saw a friend steal a book, should he be honest and tell the truth, or should he be loyal to his friend and tell a lie? The students reach consensus together. Thesis: a child's belief in the Great Spirit + Antithesis: another child's belief in God = Synthesis: new joint belief in many gods
Here is how the process might work: if one person believes in God (thesis 1), another in Buddha (thesis 2), and another in the Great Spirit (thesis 3), they may agree that "there are many gods" or that "every path leads to the same ultimate reality." This new thesis, of course, would not be considered absolute or final truth. It would merely be a higher step in the ongoing evolution toward ever greater understanding and perfection.
As you may expect, Christian children often feel anything but free to "express" their beliefs and ideas in this kind of group. That's part of the plan. Parents, therefore, must teach their children every day in every way that courage will be needed to interact with their peers and still maintain their faith.
'Transforming the World by Subverting the Church' ...to "control the remaining 90 per cent" who act and think on an individual basis, former Communist leaders assigned all their subjects -- workers, managers, prisoners and students -- to local "soviets" (groups or councils) where they had to "Share" thoughts and notions. [Now cheered as "authenticity"] "Confess" contrary attitudes. [Brainwashing and "Education Reform"] Write "self-criticisms" for group evaluation. "Celebrate" Communist ideals and heroes "Commit" themselves to follow the group consensus. Practice what the group (led by the facilitator) decides.
The 19th century socialist Antonio Labriola called Marxism the Philosophy of praxis. Marx himself also alluded to this concept in his Theses on Feuerbach when he stated that "philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it." Simply put, Marx felt that philosophy's validity was in how it informed action.
Georg Lukács held that the task of political organization is to establish professional discipline over everyday political praxis, consciously designing the form of mediation best suited to clear interactions between theory and practice. This process was described in an article "Small Groups and the Dialectic Process," which summarizes the strategies taught in Leading Congregational Change (LCC). "This is a book you ought to read before you change anything," wrote Rick Warren in his hearty endorsement on the back cover.... If you want to guard your child's mind, look at this checklist. The complete chart includes a column with corresponding Scriptures. Know biblical truth--the only source of genuine wisdom (Proverbs 2:6) Learn the facts needed to defend what they know and believe. Recognize the difference between logic and speculation. Ground personal plans in reality, not fantasy. Trust genuine science based on facts and logic, not pseudo-science or social philosophy. Learn the lessons found in a factual study of history. Base actions in objective thinking, not subjective feelings.
God said, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 6:22) There are other Biblical verses that instruct parents on ways to raise their children that are true and effective. If you would like a copy of these methods please send me an e-mail and I will contact you with a pricelist for these booklets. All the booklets are based on my Parent Education Workshops that I have presented to many churches and schools.

So it should not surprise us that a fifth-grade teacher in the state of Washington would use intimidation to twist a student's absolute truth into a personal opinion.

A Christian student wrote "infinitely more wishes, to meet God, and for all my friends to be Christians." Since each student's wishes would be posted on a wall for "open house," they had to be just right. The Christian student didn't pass. The teacher told him that his last wish could hurt people who didn't share his beliefs. Since the student didn't want to hurt anyone, he agreed to add "if they want to be."
The student had to complete another sentence which began, "If I could meet anyone, I would like to meet..." the student wrote: "God because he is the one who made us!" The teacher told him to add "in my opinion. "When the student's parents visited the school, they noticed the corrections. "Why did you add this?" his mother asked. "The teacher didn't want me to hurt other people's feelings." "But these are just your wishes...." "I thought so." The student looked confused. Later, the teacher explained to parents that she wanted "diversity" in her class and was looking out for her other students. But why couldn't he share his views? "I try to instill God's truths in my son," said the father, "but it seems like the school wants to remove them."
The father is right both absolute truth and contrary facts clash with the mind-set needed for the global management systems. The planned 'oneness' demands "new thinking, new strategies, new behavior, and new beliefs" that turn society and God's Word and values upside-down. Facilitated group discussion is key to the transformation, and UNESCO's plan for "lifelong learning" calls for universal participation. Young and old everywhere must be trained to think and work collectively. That is the basis for Marxism and the way for the theory to be successful, otherwise without a plan for retraining there would not be a transformation. Remember that "Captain Zero" wants to transform America with 'Hope & Change' so that all are serfs with the same 'oneness' with a few select elites in charge.
Professor Benjamin Bloom, called the "Father of Outcome-based Education," summarized it well: "The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students." "....a large part of what we call 'good teaching' is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues." This by itself is probably good teaching, however, today some teachers have gone far beyond this point and are really teaching the dialectal process!
Since the student's last comment exposed his "fixed beliefs," the teacher challenged it. Absolute truths such as "God made us" can't be modified or synthesized to please the group. Those who take a firm position on truth or facts will resist compromise and offend the group. Christians must begin to develop courage and profess their faith whenever and wherever they are challenged!
This mind-changing (Hegelian dialectic) process required students in Communist nations to "confess" their thoughts and feelings in their respective groups. Trained facilitator-teachers would then guide the group dialogue toward a pre-planned consensus. The original thesis and antithesis --opposing views such as Christianity versus Marxism -- would be merged or synthesized into ever-evolving higher "truths." As Julian Huxley suggested back in 1947, "the techniques of persuasion and information and true propaganda" must be "deliberately" used "as Lenin envisaged - to 'overcome the resistance of millions' to desirable change."
Today, a more sophisticated version of this brainwashing process drives the social transformation. ...it helps root out individualism and the "intolerant" attitudes that could bring conflict and division. When bonded to the group and trained in the new relational rules, few dare offend the majority by taking a contrary stand. This gives all a new perspective on the "Hope & Change' slogan used by 'Captain Zero'.
"We have moved into a new era,"said Dr. Shirley McCune, keynote speaker at the 1989 Governor's Conference on Education. "What we are facing is total restructuring of society. We no longer are teaching facts to children." The masses must learn to feel that traditional values are an intolerable threat to peace, and Christians must be willing to trade their God-given absolutes for Huxley's view of evolving truths and collective thinking. But God says, “do not be conformed to this world.” Therefore, we make it our aim to “obey God rather than men.” Though the world demands consensus, we take our stand on the unchanging, eternal Word of God. [Romans 12:2; Acts 5:29]
However, the new method of "pooling your ideas" refers to the process of synthesis, which means the group must come to some kind of consensus. ... For example, when a boy saw a friend steal a book, should he be honest and tell the truth, or should he be loyal to his friend and tell a lie? The students reach consensus together. Thesis: a child's belief in the Great Spirit + Antithesis: another child's belief in God = Synthesis: new joint belief in many gods
Here is how the process might work: if one person believes in God (thesis 1), another in Buddha (thesis 2), and another in the Great Spirit (thesis 3), they may agree that "there are many gods" or that "every path leads to the same ultimate reality." This new thesis, of course, would not be considered absolute or final truth. It would merely be a higher step in the ongoing evolution toward ever greater understanding and perfection.
As you may expect, Christian children often feel anything but free to "express" their beliefs and ideas in this kind of group. That's part of the plan. Parents, therefore, must teach their children every day in every way that courage will be needed to interact with their peers and still maintain their faith.
'Transforming the World by Subverting the Church' ...to "control the remaining 90 per cent" who act and think on an individual basis, former Communist leaders assigned all their subjects -- workers, managers, prisoners and students -- to local "soviets" (groups or councils) where they had to "Share" thoughts and notions. [Now cheered as "authenticity"] "Confess" contrary attitudes. [Brainwashing and "Education Reform"] Write "self-criticisms" for group evaluation. "Celebrate" Communist ideals and heroes "Commit" themselves to follow the group consensus. Practice what the group (led by the facilitator) decides.
The 19th century socialist Antonio Labriola called Marxism the Philosophy of praxis. Marx himself also alluded to this concept in his Theses on Feuerbach when he stated that "philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it." Simply put, Marx felt that philosophy's validity was in how it informed action.
Georg Lukács held that the task of political organization is to establish professional discipline over everyday political praxis, consciously designing the form of mediation best suited to clear interactions between theory and practice. This process was described in an article "Small Groups and the Dialectic Process," which summarizes the strategies taught in Leading Congregational Change (LCC). "This is a book you ought to read before you change anything," wrote Rick Warren in his hearty endorsement on the back cover.... If you want to guard your child's mind, look at this checklist. The complete chart includes a column with corresponding Scriptures. Know biblical truth--the only source of genuine wisdom (Proverbs 2:6) Learn the facts needed to defend what they know and believe. Recognize the difference between logic and speculation. Ground personal plans in reality, not fantasy. Trust genuine science based on facts and logic, not pseudo-science or social philosophy. Learn the lessons found in a factual study of history. Base actions in objective thinking, not subjective feelings.
God said, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 6:22) There are other Biblical verses that instruct parents on ways to raise their children that are true and effective. If you would like a copy of these methods please send me an e-mail and I will contact you with a pricelist for these booklets. All the booklets are based on my Parent Education Workshops that I have presented to many churches and schools.

Dialectic Process and transformational Marxism - Part 2
Like Karl Marx, today's radical progressive globalist leaders seek ways to undermine Biblical truth and set up a type of society that can not resist their evil line of thought. They know that the main obstacle to global solidarity, is God's uncompromising Word and the conservative views. They cannot build "a single world culture" without first undermining absolute Truth. After all, that's why Christians were persecuted in the Soviet Union and other Communist countries! That is why christians in the middle east are daily tortured or killed!
ASCD (the curriculum arm of the NEA), published a 1970 book with a chapter by Dr. Raymond Houghton, who envisions a world managed through the subtle but manipulative collective "dialogue." His warning should be a wake-up call for all who love truth and factual truthfulness; "...absolute behavior control is the end result. The critical point of behavior control, in effect, is sneaking up on mankind without his self-conscious realization that a crisis is at hand. Man will never self-consciously know that it has happened." However, if people look and seek the truth they will understand what is really taking place.
UNESCO published a 1995 book titled Our Creative Diversity. It tells us that-- "The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living." Marc Tucker, the master-mind behind today's global school-to-work system. "Our objective will require a change in the prevailing culture -- the attitudes, values, norms and accepted ways of doing things." In other words, the old Christian ways and values are out and the new, subjective postmodern ways are in. Some teachers in some schools have been quietly teaching in this fashion for several years!
Already trained to follow feelings rather than facts (and peer culture rather than parental counsel) today's youth are marching happily toward an amoral, permissive (at least for the moment) collective society. Many have already internalized the ground rules for the dialectic process: Seek "common ground" in the midst of today's diversity. Show respect, tolerance and appreciation for all beliefs and values (unless they reflect Biblical truth). Train everyone to share their feelings, listen empathetically, and identify with opposing views, then blissfully flow with the group consensus. It works! This process transforms individual thinkers into group thinkers. Since the sense of belonging feels good, the threat of group disapproval inhibits members from voicing "offensive" views. The current version of this collective society thinking is the requirement that everyone must be politically correct when dealing with other members of the gulag.
Webster's dictionary defines the word dialectic as "Hegelian philosophy" a logical subjective development in thought, from a THESIS through an ANTITHESIS to a SYNTHESIS, or ... a continuous unification of opposites. "In the dialectic process, there must be two or more sides to everything. Nothing is absolute; everything is changing in a preplanned direction. As Ismail Serageldin, former vice president of The World Bank, said at the 1996 UN Conference on Human Settlements in Istanbul (Habitat II), "Let's just make sure that social change and transformation are going in the right direction." Apparently the correct meaning of that statement is change coming from the left, which is where it is coming from today in America.
"Would the American people allow government control and collectivism to replace freedom and individualism? Not without a fight and so would the rest of the world. However, this social transformation is well under way, and the American masses unknowingly simply flow with the change. Planned over a century ago, the framework for managing and monitoring this worldwide revolution was in place by 1945. The process seems simple and not really intrusive but once you look critically at how it works you begin to understand how dangerous it is. Remember the 2008 slogan of "Captain Zero" Obama, "We will change and transform America", what do you think that slogan meant?
Dr. Chisholm, Margaret Mead and other social scientists from ten countries wrote its founding document, "Mental Health and World Citizenship." Notice their attitude toward traditional values: "Social institutions such as family and school impose their imprint early.... It is the men and women in whom these patterns of attitude and behavior have been incorporated who present the immediate resistance to social, economic and political changes. Thus, prejudice, hostility or excessive nationalism may become deeply embedded in the developing personality... often at great human cost.... "...change will be strongly resisted unless an attitude of acceptance has first been engendered." Their motto then became keep it simple.
Today, more than half a century later, that "attitude of acceptance" has been built. Nations around the world are fast conforming to the pattern set in the 1940s. The global network of "mental health" partners is working to prevent anything that would hinder "positive" collective thinking in the rising global village....Mass immigration (planned back in the 1940s) and multicultural conflicts have added to the urgency, and the intentional crisis has helped promote pre-planned solutions. Today, strategies for social change such as group thinking, conflict resolution, consensus building and continual compromise are becoming the norm. All are based on the dialectic process used in the former Soviet Union to conform minds to Soviet ideology...
Islam may not match the UN model for a global spirituality, but its spreading influence makes it a useful tool in the hands of change agents. Remember the Hegelian dialectic (consensus) process. The class discusses a provocative story or experience. The students share their thoughts, feelings and ideas in the group. Everyone must seek "common ground" and empathize with contrary ideas. Factual rebuttals that might offend a group member are forbidden. Throughout the dialogue, a trained facilitator guides the group back on track if it deviates from its course toward the prescribed consensus or group conclusion. When feel-good Islamic suggestions become part of this mix, they help shift the consensus a little further away from any Christian position. How many 7th graders are strong enough in their faith to disagree with a group conclusion that Allah and God are the same? Who dares to express the uniqueness of Christ, when even Prince Charles, first in line to the British throne, says, "We share as Muslims and Christians a powerful core of spiritual belief - in one divine God"?
This tactic -- used years ago to indoctrinate Soviet children with Communist ideology -- now pressures children from Christian homes to "open their minds" to new religious blends. Islam becomes a stepping stone, not an end. It broadens the options. As part of a classroom program, it subjects a child's personal faith to a psycho-social group process that pressures students to compromise: to trade personal convictions for a pre-planned "common ground." And that is the key. We live in a world where -- as educators, politicians and business managers like to remind us -- "the only constant is change." The main objective is to disconnect children from their old spiritual anchors so that their minds can flow with today's managed change and group solutions.
Key to social transformation is "praxis", a vital part of Soviet brainwashing. It meant that dialectic groups must continually apply new information about Communist theory and socialist values. As today's educators tell us, "learning" must be practical and experiential: no need to memorize unnecessary facts about history or science that might conflict with the new vision. Continual practice makes the new way of thinking as natural as walking. Turning a deaf ear to "enemies" who resist this process becomes as habitual as locking your door. Look at what "Captain Zero" and his henchmen are doing and you will begin to realize that the gulag is not far off!
From UNESCO: Its purpose and Its Philosophy by Julian Huxley, first Director-General of UNESCO: "The task before UNESCO... is to help the emergence of a single world culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with its own broad purpose. This is opportune, since this the first time in history that the scaffolding and the mechanisms for world unification have become available.... And it is necessary, for at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other from the West and from the East....
"You may categorize the two philosophies as two super-nationalisms, or as individualism versus collectivism; or as the American versus the Russian way of life, or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus Marxism. Can these opposites be reconciled, this antithesis be resolved in a higher synthesis?" Huxley then stated " I believe not only that this can happen, but that, through the inexorable dialectic of evolution, it must happen.... "In pursuing this aim, we must eschew [shun] dogma - whether it be theological dogma or Marxist dogma.... East and West will not agree on a basis of the future if they merely hurl at each other the fixed ideas of the past. For that is what dogma's are -- the crystallizations of some dominant system of thought of a particular epoch. A dogma may of course crystallize tried and valid experience; but if it be dogma, it does so in a way which is rigid, uncompromising and intolerant.... If we are to achieve progress, we must learn to uncrystalize our dogmas."
Then Huxley stated that; "Groups or teams must be trained to disapprove if any member fails to demonstrate respect, appreciation and tolerance for all beliefs and positions that clash with his own. In other words, intolerance must be used to intimidate dissenters into compliance with the ground rules. There is no freedom to share 'divisive' facts or truth. Instead, each person must listen with empathy, seek to identify with diverse feelings, and join the quest for 'common ground.'
"The issues may change from week to week, but with each group meeting, this dialectic process becomes increasingly habitual and 'normal.' If a person has a particular belief (thesis) concerning a current issue, he listens and identifies with an opposite or conflicting notion (antithesis). Led by a trained facilitator, the dialogue moves toward a new synthesis, a blend of the two opposites. Week after week, the former synthesis becomes the new thesis. It, in turn, blends with other new views (antithesis) and a new synthesis is found. This process goes on and on.... Change becomes the norm and opposites such as black and white come closer and closer to a perfect and mutual gray."
"In their mandatory quest for common ground, students learn that there must be two or more sides to everything. All group members must present their personal views, receive group feedback, and seek an evolving consensus. Thesis + antithesis = synthesis (which becomes the new thesis) + new antithesis = new synthesis.... The main objective is learning dialectic reasoning and group thinking, not the content. Whatever the latter brings could be changed tomorrow. "As a result of migration into every American community, a high school class as well as a team of employee is likely to include members who favor Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, witchcraft and the various versions of 'Christianity.' In this multicultural setting, each person will be challenged to yield his or her certainties and willingly embrace the ever-changing group synthesis." Example: "It reminds me of the little old lady who prayed, 'Lord, forgive me', I do so many things I used to call sin."
Multiculturalism is a direct offshoot of Marxism and has spread throughout the world! Some countries like England and Germany have started to standup against this idea and are starting to take steps to oppose the idea of multiculturalism. In the US we still have a large number of supporters of multiculturalism who feel that it is important to be politically correct and be protective of even our enemies. We must begin to appose this terrible idea before the wolves of freedom start their attack.
Our liberal news media is the worst culprit of this type of political correctness. We see every day one or more articles in the news about the worth of being politically correct at all costs. The advance of the dialectical process is America's most important problem in today's world. If we, as a nation, do not protect our children against this evil growing amongst us then the collective is not far behind. When good christians do nothing then evil wins and I am afraid that we are losing the fight!
