<br />
In your quest to make America great again and to save this country from itself, it may be necessary, indeed IT IS necessary, that you take stock of your adversaries. The recent resignation of General Flynn should be a wake up call to you, we (your voters and supporters), and the true Repulican Party - that we are now in the big leagues. The people who oppose you are not loyal Americans, but rather they are architects of national implosion and crisis. They are haters, globalists, communists, Marxists, anarchists, Islamists, and atheists. Many of them have powerful jobs and positions in this country. They are judges, lawyers, think tank wonks, academics and academia, Hollywood, Big Media, Left Wing Media, Leftist State governors, earth-worshipping greenies, Establishment Washington (Democrat & Republican) and editors of various and sundry publications. To them, America of the past 250 years is a wrong headed idea. It now must be utterly destroyed and be remade to fit this globalist, Marxist worldview and corrupt agenda they now embrace. You, President Trump, represent our old way of life and our successful light of hope. I hate to be dramatic, but this is the way I see it.: If you and your Administration fail - America as we have known it will collapse and cease to exist - as we have known it. Out of the ashes will rise a globalist Babylon of immense danger to the people of the world - though they will not know it. In fact, many will clamor for this Bablyon and seek to indulge themselves on its false promises of liberty and freedom. <br />
<br />
We cannot allow this to happen. You, President Trump, <i>must not let this happen</i>.<br />
<br />
Having taken stock, therefore I ask you, in the name of all that is holy and righteous President Trump, to rise up and play hardball with your adversaries. Show them no more grace. No appeasement. Fight fire with scalding water. Lead and direct. Order and lock up. A flurry of power and speed are what's needed as these adversaries sense weakness with the taking of the political scalp of General Flynn. Take no prisoners. Pull no punches. Play this game the way you know how to play it: in the street and dirty. Arrest people - yes, beginning with the rioters, the illegals, and now these leakers - arrest them because they are breaking the law! Obama let them get away with it. You must not. A key arrest will send shock waves down Pennsylvania Avenue. <br />
<br />
If you, the President of the United States, will speak out boldly, take decisive action, and do what must be done for the good of the country and the safety of the people of this Republic - the always hysterical Left will scream of course, <i>but your people will see what you are doing and rally to you. </i><br />
<br />
Give us a reason to do so. <br />
<br />
We believe in you and what you stand for. It is the America we grew up
in and the America we know. It is the America we would like to bequeath
to our children, Lord willing. America as an idea is being challenged openly by those who do not want America to be great again, ever.<br />
<br />
I pray to God for you daily and for your protection, and wish you the very best success as President, husband, father, and grandfather. Because you obviously honor Genesis 12:3, God will show favor to you even in the face of your adversaries. He will prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies. May the Lord cause your cup to run over with blessings!<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />

So I can't say too much about the Immigration executive order. Most of the countries listed on the ban are already well-known by the State Department to be countries that sponsor or harbor terrorists. So what's the big deal? I will put it this way: if the media is FOR a thing - I'm probably AGAINST it. And because the media has been duplicitous and unashamed of its adherence to Leftist memes and opinions, it no longer can play honest referee in the marketplace of news and ideas.<br />
<br />
But what is killing America is the Left. It's continuous and unabated policies have been cancerous and dangerous to this nation's survival. The Left's plan to reshape and remold America into a polyglot "world-first, America last" internationalist refugee center is a killer organism. Their worldview in which there are no borders, everyone is welcome, and nobody has to work, is a destructive bacteria to the national health. The primary carriers of this diseased view have been President Obama and the Democratic party the past eight years. We on the Right know this. Republicans, in the main, have opposed and spoken out against it - but were simply too soft and too friendly with the disease to really try and treat it. But somehow the people of this country, in full Stage 4, sensed they were at death's door and sought an outside doctor who could do the dirty work and treat the disease. With no guarantees, the people were willing to try to see if the body of America could be saved. <br />
<br />
Enter Donald J. Trump.<br />
<br />
President Trump was elected as a last hope radiation and chemotherapy treatment to reverse this downward, full throttled course of sickness accelerated by Obama and his executive actions. He said as much in his Inaugural address. Unfortunately, the reversal of the effects of the Left's eight year poison pill is a large dose of Trump wielding his executive action pen - and man, this has the disease carriers foaming at the mouth! But you know, the temporary social unrest caused by media and Leftist generated hysteria prompts us yet again to state clearly why Trump was needfully elected: He is a doctor who said he could cure a diseased country - and it sure looks like he's doing it. <br />
<br />
But for sure, just as a hit dog will holler, those on the Left will cry.<br />
<br />
I say let 'em cry, then sit back down. <br />
<br />
When Pres. Trump keeps his campaign promises and is vilified for it in the media and the Left - then I know the treatment is working. And I know it's good for America.<br />
<br />
Up next, the Supreme Court.

So what we have here is an obviously partisan politician, lying and slandering in a single interview the president-elect.<br />
<br />
Ok, guess what - Donald J. Trump bites back. I would fully expect Trump to defend himself and the honor of the office he rightfully and legitimately won.<br />
<br />
I'm Black and from Atlanta, but it's long past time to call John Lewis out: Congressman John Lewis - never great or effective at representing his constituency in metro Atlanta - is a civil rights figurehead. A man who spends more time in Washington or elsewhere giving speeches or attending dinners reliving the Emund Pettus Bridge scene or a SNCC sit-in complete with the emotional gravitas of a griot. Congressman Lewis is a throwback to the 60s, a time and era he never quite
leaves in any conversation he engages in. Imagine talking with someone who never tires of the Voting Rights Act of 1964.<br />
<br />
Yes, I am a conservative. Yes, I am a Republican. And yes, I voted for Trump. And it's high time somebody
embarassed Congressman Lewis publicly about what's really going on in his district and in Black America. <br />
<br />
And to be flat out honest, Black Lives in his district <i>are </i>endangered. Check the crime statistics for his region. His congressional district covers several Black neighborhoods that are, shall we say - straight up HOOD. You don't want to be stopping by a store or pumping gas at night in many of those places if you care anything about your life or wallet or car. But I'm not supposed to be telling y'all this. After all, it is thought that we colored folks are supposed to like living in the 'hood. Right? Who are we to call our Black congressmen out for running a scam: a perpetual plantation of gang terror, litter, broken windows, broken families, and drugs in exchange for your Democratic Party vote. The crime problem is Black America's post civil rights dirty little
secret - its great hypocrisy, directly traceable in a
cause-effect relationship to other Black people. It's the "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" of Black America. Donald Trump just
made the politically incorrect mistake of tweeting it out loud.<br />
<br />
But what do we call a congressman who doesn't really do anything about the problems of the constituency he or she is supposed to lawfully and faithfully represent? Perhaps, "illegitimate"?<br />
<br />

As if the videotaping of Planned Parenthood execs casually discussing the sale and merchandising of aborted baby body parts wasn't enough outrage to our moral senses, now comes this new and greater anathema - <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/13/religious-leaders-bless-planned-parenthood-abortion-mega-clinic-praising-sacred-work/" target="_blank">a multi-priest blessing of an abortion clinic in DC.</a> <br />
<br />
This ecumenical hodge-podge of leftists in sacred tunics would be absolutely laughable if what they were asked to do not so sad and gut-wrenchingly serious. The fact is, abortion clinics are designed to produce nothing but death, pure and simple. Think about it: if abortion clinics provided all the caregiver services they claim to provide and ultimately <i>didn't</i> kill infants in the womb, they would cease to exist - and everybody knows this. We'll leave for another day the sheer profitability of the abortion industry.<br />
<br />
So what Planned Parenthood has done here is not just an admission of their death and murder schemes disguised as medical procedures or services, it's an admission of the effectivity of the public and personal moral argument of people of faith - the Roman Catholic Church and evangelicals mainly - against abortion. But rather than accept this, their defiled consciences need to be salved.<br />
<br />
What this ecumenical "blessing" is seeking to do is <i><b>invert the morality</b></i> of killing and death by calling it a societal "good" and seeking to have it publicly anointed as such. By rounding up these men and women of the fringe faith variety (<i>Wow, they managed to find a gay imam!</i>) they are simply seeking to "bless" and deem "holy" the murder of innocents in this clinic. <br />
<br />
The best you can say of them is they are at least consistent with the mission and worldview of their founder, Margaret Sanger. Remember, it was Sanger who stated in her <a href="http://www.toomanyaborted.com/thenegroproject/" target="_blank">infamous Negro Project letter</a> of the need to persuade or hire Black pastors to pull off her eugenical trick in the Black community.<br />
<br />
As it was in the days of Noah...<br />

Not only was the Left's Hail Mary pass just before the Inauguration a failure - the pass was INTERCEPTED and returned for a pick six by the President-Elect! That was a tour de force of candor, swag, honesty, common sense and a much needed swat down of a noisy, rude, CNN hack. Wow!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xuvA1Uc4TY" target="_blank">It was like <i>"not only am I going to ignore your question, I'm going to tell you I'm ignoring you, then name you and shame you - in front of all of these people. Watch this folks."</i></a><br />

Seriously? Are we now into making stuff up against a sitting senator? I just thought you were better than this. <a href="https://pjmedia.com/election/2017/01/10/sen-cory-booker-breaks-tradition-will-testify-against-jeff-sessions/" target="_blank">A made for TV drama starring Cory Booker as the dishonorable senator from New Jersey. </a><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "Concretely, I'm breaking a pretty long Senate tradition by actually
being a sitting senator testifying against another sitting senator,"
Booker told MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday. "Please, understand. I think
these are extraordinary times and they call for extraordinary measures."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> Booker, who may have his eye on a 2020 presidential bid, emphasized the unprecedented nature of this move.</i></span><br />
<br />
This is such a stunt. Needing face time and hoping that America might someday consider you for president, you're willing to go on record as a man willing to trash a good man and his name. Good luck holding on to that seat, Cory<br />
<br />
With colleagues who have served with Jeff Sessions for more years than you've been in politics, none of them are testifying against him but have nothing but praise for this good man. You've got African-American pastors from his home state testifying on his behalf. You've got long term African American women in support of him. So why are you doing this? <br />
<br />
It's embarassing, brother. And please stop quoting MLK when you're not using moral suasion and logic.Sheesh...Ballpointbloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02812812223605398715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566674568026954444.post-87757336288248407622017-01-04T21:10:00.001-08:002017-01-04T21:17:41.756-08:00Chicago, Illinois, USA - Where Black Lives Don't Seem to Matter<a href="http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/mitchell-our-city-one-year-778-murders/" target="_blank">I read this sad and troubling article in the Chicago Sun-Times</a>. It seemed to me to illustrate the pathology of the lawless community, mainly African-American in hue and culture, when even the police are in retreat and on the defensive. When murder is the theme of the each and every day. And it is this murderous culture the Black Lives Matter crowd can't seem to figure out. 780 lives. 780 murders. It's unreal, except it is real. If ever there was a testimony to the abject failure of Democratic rule in the inner city, or of the futility of the Black Lives Matter marches and its anti-cop militancy and revolutionary rhetoric, this is it.<br />
<br />
The conclusion of the article seemed to suggest that jobs and education are the answers, and perhaps they are, but only in part. But it is obvious that in a city like Chicago - where prosperity can be found just five miles away from the 'hood - security, safety, law, and order MUST precede economic progress. Some neighborhoods get that, unfortunately many Black neighborhoods don't seem to get it, and the slaughter continues. I'm sick of leftist ivory tower professors' pontifications on "structural racism", Black celebrities' cliched rants at Oscar and Emmy ceremonies, or yet another municipal rally for the umpteenth time calling for yet another summit on race relations. I hope it shames some of these very rich Black athletes who got out but won't give back. <br />
<br />
And to think, this occured on the watch of <i>a community organizer from Chicago</i> in the White House. The commander in chief of the armed forces of the USA, the greatest country on Earth, could do nothing. He and the useless, conniving, mayor of Chi-town were simply powerless to stop the murders. <br />
<br />
But in truth, I think we people of faith deep down know how to stop the massacre. And while this problem is internal to the community, it has a root cause in family disruption and dysfunction. It is also deeply spiritual. It lies within the soul and will of people to correct and fix. But people of faith and goodwill must rally to the city and not rest until the stronghold is broken. <br />
<br />
So when is enough bloodshed enough? 780? Can we agree that 800 is over the top, perhaps? Just as Hernan Cortes and his soldiers were horrified at the sight of rows and walls of human skulls in the sacred temple of the Aztecs, so I am appalled at the photographic imagery of the murdered. How many more blood sacrifices are to be offered to the gods of nihilism and hopelessness in Black America? At what point will we cast down their altars and say "ENOUGH!"? <br />
<br />

What an amazingly naive and stupid statement to make. (Just a thought: what exactly is the Knesset, John?)<br />
<br />
The Obama Administration has now removed its treacherous mask of Israel-hatred. Kerry and President Obama are now officially recognized among history's most notorious anti-Semites. Their actions at the UN in siding with Israel's enemies PROVE it. Imagine that, an anti-Semitic, Israel-hostile, American president.<br />
<br />
May their legacies be the equivalent of history's eternal losers - right up there with Hitler and Stalin. Of course, Mr. Obama is not out of office yet, so there are probably more outrages to come.<br />

So, OK, Obama would like to be the Secretary-General of the United Nations - and Netanyahu wants to thwart it. No big deal, right? Ugh, wrong. Think again.<br />
<br />
Can you imagine a man who has unilaterally cut a nuclear deal with a sworn enemy of the United States - over the objections of the Congress - becoming an international gadfly in high office? unburdened by the US Constitution, occupying a bully pulpit of immense corruption? Can you image the potential damage to world order brought about by a individual who brings the Chicago-style, nation-unsettling turbulence of the "community organizer" to the executive chair of an organization built ostensibly for world peace? to an organization that is anti-Israel in its genetic makeup? Good God! Talk about dark days ahead!<br />

Police killed 29 African Americans in 2014. I guess somehow, with all the BLM protesting, I expected that number to be much greater. I mean, not to be too coarse about it but that's a number that's less than the number of killed and wounded in San Bernardino by the ISIS couple last week.<br />
<br />
Black Lives Matter, right? <br />
<br />
Now, having come across this: <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/expanded-homicide-data/expanded_homicide_data_table_6_murder_race_and_sex_of_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2014.xls" target="_blank">According to FBI data</a> Blacks were responsible for killing 2,205 other Blacks in 2014. Now that's an alarmingly high number. And it's about 76 times more than the police tally.<br />
<br />
But Black Lives Matter, right? <br />
<br />
I'm asking again: do Black Lives <u><i>really</i></u> Matter to other Black folk? If so, why is this number so high? <br />
<br />
I'm just asking. Because until a coherent answer is found, it seems to me to be a classic case of "physician heal thyself".<br />
<br />
Preach when you've a REAL sermon. Protest when you've got a REAL moral argument. <br />
<br />
I need to put a sign up outside my house, or better yet, carry around a placard with the number 2,205 on it. Wonder if I'll get any media attention. <br />

<br />
Number 2 is needed in case Number 1 breaks down.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, in today's America, with morals having been greatly regressed, the peace that inevitably ensues when moral people dwell together has been disturbed. The Judeo-Christian moral fabric has been torn nearly in two. We have alarmingly high rates of domestic killings and we even have foreigners/immigrants killing Americans on American soil. The foundation of the law is cracked,and now even bedrock Constitutional rights are under assault. <br />
<br />
The politics of our response to this problem is almost unbelievable. I shudder when I consider that there are many who agree with the President and the Left on the notion that disarming citizens and taking away their 2nd Amendment rights will protect citizens. Moreover, the idea that fewer guns among an immoral people will protect people is ludicrous.<br />
<br />
And while I'm not a big fan of Ted Cruz, he's on top of it with this quote:<br />
<br />
"<i>Unfortunately, the goal of both President Obama and Hillary Clinton, is
to consistently–at every turn–to look to weaken the constitutional
rights of American citizens...to undermine our
constitutional right to keep and bear arms. You don’t get rid of the bad
guys by getting rid of our guns. You get rid of the bad guys by <b>using</b>
our guns..." </i><br />
<br />
I'm all for peace and safety, but it cannot be had among an immoral people without force. Whether by law and order, or by the private projection and use of force, peace simply cannot be had nor maintained any other way.<br />
<br />
<br />

And although no one seems to know why President Obama wants this deal or why America is giving away so much to Iran, I think I know why. Of course, the givens are these: Obama dislikes America and its power over the rest of the world. As Dinesh D'Souza's movies about Obama have strongly suggested, he is all about taking America down a few notches - if not outright destroying the fabric that made her who she is today - the kind of country he and his friends (Communists & Socialists) think is responsible for everything wrong in the world. He wants to Europeanize America and transform the country by reverse engineering its fundamental values and structures of governing trust. He is doing a fine job in this arena. <br />
<br />
But in the Middle East sits a curious foe of Obama. This foe of Obama is the very country to whom Americans have traditionally viewed as unabashedly pro-American in its style, its tastes, and its love of democracy. In exchange for this adulation and special relationship this country has garnered American support, strategic interest, and protection. Moreover, the ties that bind America to the Middle East are its deep spiritual kinship and religious traditions with this country. Of course, I'm speaking of Israel.<br />
<br />
However, Israel, in the eyes of Obama, and many others on the Left (and Right) think and believe Israel wields far too much power and influence over American institutions, over its banking systems, over its financial institutions, over its commerce, its entertainment industry, and over America's most powerful constitutional body: the US Congress. And Obama sees that America protects Israel and its interests far too much. So, as the most powerful man in the world, what does he do about it? <br />
<br />
If nothing else is known about Obama - it is this: he is cool, cunning, swift, isolating, and Hitlerian all at once. Even today - six years into his presidency - he is still an unknown! Nothing about him truly is as it appears to be - his faith, his marriage, his family, his dreams, loyalties. Nothing. One thing is known: he has spent much of his presidency dismantling America cohesion and its fabric of interlocking power. And he has successfully used its foundational institutions to give him even more power. But that isn't enough for him. His time as president is short, and he wants a legacy.<br />
<br />
Obama knows there is one and only one country in the Middle East, who, armed with the technology, weapons, and money who can do the double duty for him. In continuing and furthering the decline of American power, he needs this Middle Eastern country to need what he has to give. (That's why powerful Russia with an equally narcissistic leader isn't the country). This country has to hate America just like he does, but it also must hate Israel with an even more fervent passion because Israel influence stands in the way of the LAST rung of Obama's compete takeover of the halls of Congress.<br />
<br />
Obama needs a strategic partner in taking out Israel AND his own country, AMERICA. And it is to that country he is giving the weapons of nuclear power and a blank check for arms trading.<br />
<br />
That country is Iran. <br />
<br />
But Iran has come about by fits and starts. Obama has sized up the Middle East. Having desperately sought out a
strategic partner to take out Israel, Obama created the Arab Spring. But it didn't turn out so good. Withdraw from Iraq. Check. Ungovernable chaos ensued, leading to sectarian warfare and the creation the most notorious "JV team" - ISIS. Next, depose Assad in Syria. Not quite a check. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but Russia stood in the way to support Assad and his minority tribal rule. Arm the rebels against Assad. Check. Create a "red line" for Syria to cross. Check. (They cross it anyway thus exposing the weak willed Obama as a pansy to traditional American allies) Depose Qaddaffi. Check. Depose Mubarak in Egypt. Check.<br />
<br />
Actually, Obama thought at first Egypt would be his dancing partner in opposing Israel. But as he discovered, the Egyptians both fear the Jews and secretly cooperate with them.
Mubarak and Bibi were old friends. In truth, the Egyptians have a deep rooted undefinable fear of the Jews that goes back to
Exodus, I think, but it was certainly reinforced in the '67 and '73 Wars. But in this Arab Spring, Obama discovered one thing: Hezbollah and Hamas could always be counted on to take the fight to Israel, no matter how suicidal it may be. Trouble was, they didn't have enough money to make their incursions sustainable. All the while, ISIS was racking up embarrassing headlines as the little terrorist organization that could. ISIS was the Middle East's tale of the tape. The Middle East's oil producing nations were on alert. Israel was on alert. Europe was on alert. Obama's refusal to engage them directly puzzled many. But I think I know why Obama refused to engage against them. A direct military engagement against ISIS would mean indirectly aiding with his enemy, Israel. It would bring an American presence back into the Middle East that would restore American honor at home and abroad and bring about a pride of place as a powerful nation that can do such things when it wants to. <br />
<br />
It was then that I believe Obama turned to Iran. But the sanctions against Iran limited its role as a major player. As a major check writer and supplier of arms and funds to Hezbollah and Hamas, it could not carry out the war for all time (the Mahdi War) that Ahmedinejhad wanted.<br />
<br />
I think Bibi Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress represented a triumph of Israel over Obama that sent him into a Hitlerian rage. His dislike and even perhaps hatred for Bibi Netanyahu was fired into white heat at the repeated standing ovations Bibi's Purim Address to Congress generated. That, I believe, pushed Obama over the edge and maybe the next morning he made the phone call to the Iranian emissaries. You want your international sanctions lifted? I'll lift them. You want billions in monetary aid? I'll give you millions, even billions. You want nukes? I'll give you nukes. You don't want us to inspect your enrichment sites? We won't.<br />
<br />
You want to keep cursing America and Israel? You may continue. Now we have a deal. Iran, you are now steps away from being a world power. I will now "deal" with the Congress. <br />
<br />
But this "deal" with Iran is no deal. That's why it's so one-sided in favor of Iran. that's why American got no PERSONAL concessions out of it. That's why the four American hostages weren't even discussed. This DEAL is the DAGGER of a vindictive president. He plans to use American power, technology, and money - funneled through a vicious, unrepentant enemy - to destroy Israel. In effect, America would destroy her ally. How brilliant! How nefarious! Using the exceptional nation to destroy the holy nation. To also repay the Jews, to repay Netanyahu, for his insolence and disrespect of a sitting Black President!. (I'll show those Jews!) <br />
<br />
But, alas, like Haman in the Book of Esther, it is a plot that is seen by those whom God loves and will probably be thwarted by those whom God loves - or by God Himself - unless Obama reveals himself truly as a man of deep anti-semitism, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/31/blue-state-blues-barack-obamas-antisemitic-rant-on-the-iran-deal/" target="_blank">as this article suggests</a>.<br />
<br />
Or, as I have come to suspect - and am increasingly convinced he is - The MAN OF SIN. And if he is...then all one has to do is go to the Bible to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10 to find out what the Man of SIN must be up to.<br />

Somehow, a 17th century Shiite mullah writer and cleric apparently predicted Obama's rise and power and his favorable dealings with Iran.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if the prophecy is true or not, but the article points out things that have come to pass even since 2008.<br />
<br />
So either the 17th century cleric was right and this Iranian-arming deal by Barack Hussein Obama is truly a remarkable piece of prophecy coming to pass, or if he was wrong, then the article's writer is the real prophet - only from 2008, mind you - but still it is amazingly prescient in seeing how things have come about with this president and our country and the nation of Iran.<br />

America has fallen! America has fallen!<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court's sad and wretched ruling on Friday legalizing homosexual marriage rights will now reshape marriage and our civil society and community. It will permanently mar the landscape of gender, gender norms, and the raising of children. By making perversion normative, the new norm of the Public Square is lawful perversion. Honorable? No. Dignified? No. But legal perversion is now a civil right - because the Highest Court of Law in the Land has made it so. <br />
<br />
What next? Because the essence of perversion is the Lie, and the Father of Lies is behind the Sexual Revolution which created this embryonic perversion of the marriage gift, the enemy now has his foothold by lawful means into the deepest institution of life - the family. And here is where the persecution begins. Here is where people of serious faith, of honest conscientious dissent, who are filled with the Spirit, washed by the Blood of Jesus, and filled with His love are now marked for confrontation, persecution, and ultimate destruction by this Enemy. It will be a "scorched America" policy, you can take it to the bank. All will go down with it. <br />
<br />
Soon, people of faith will be on the run, retreating into hiding from the government's eye. (And thank we now our God that Obamacare has revealed to us all that our government kommissars are an increasingly incompetent lot!) It is very possible and indeed probable that China's underground churches will be replicated in the United States because only the Perverse Churches, akin to the government approved Three-Self Churches of China, will be allowed to publicly and openly practice "faith" without penalty.<br />
<br />
Like the German Volken watching the Nazi parades in the early years prior to their taking power in 1933, I watched this growing Gay Movement with much trepidation and wonder a few years back. And I asked myself, Where will it go? How far will it go? Where will it take America? Will people of sound mind, noble virtue, or just plain ol' decency stop this thing in its tracks before it affects our children? And some people tried, but no voice was found to stop it. Opposition failed miserably.<br />
<br />
Now Gay Pride has risen to power. Not supreme power, but very close to it. The Law has granted it power enough to no longer worry about costs or potential for ruin. And why should the Gays care about any of that? Having lived disaffected lives for so long its adherents don't mind disaffecting the rest of us. The country and the people be damned. Because the Enemy is behind this, it will come to pass. <br />
<br />
Well, enough. I must now close this most cathartic of screeds. <br />
<br />
I need prayer! Won't y'all pray for me? I am really depressed for my country. Nothing sums up my dismay and fear for the fate of all believing Christians in the United States now more than <a href="http://time.com/3938050/orthodox-christians-must-now-learn-to-live-as-exiles-in-our-own-country/" target="_blank">this article.</a> It gives me some hope, but it has injected a sense of stark and fateful reality into my veins.<br />
<br />
We may have to pray and worship differently. But we must never agree with Perversion. Nor can we recant because of the power it now holds.

But it
is not easy to untangle what she has done, given the social developments
of the past 60 years. It is "reverse-passing" as I see it. To this
point I commend (3) fundamental assumptions with this case that Ms.
Dolezal either challenges or reinforces.<br />
<br />
The SOCIAL & INSTITUTIONAL Assumption - Race is a social construct
and therefore can be socially deconstructed. Or, is the "One-Drop" Rule
still in effect?<br />
<br />
1. Premise A: The "one-drop" rule defining blackness legally was based
upon obviously racist and therefore unsound reasoning. If this is true,
then "Blackness" cannot be essentially measured, but can only be
socially measured - unless we as a society are intending to perpetuate
Jim Crow assumptions of "essential" Black-ness. Ms. Dolezal was testing
how far she could go with her SOCIAL "Blackness", i.e., graduating from
an HBCU, teaching courses on African Studies, seeking leadership
positions in a traditionally Black institution - NONE of this was
illegal. Rather, how she defined herself went against the institutional
assumption of the Black institutions, i.e., the NAACP and against the
social assumptions of who we ARE allowed to say we are. In her case, she
committed a social crime in not identifying to society at large - and
continuing to identify, if not live out the privileges of her race at
birth. In other words, how dare she live beneath her her privilege!<br />
<br />
2. Premise B: In a major irony, Black society and institutions have
staked much of their existence on the "one-drop" rule. Groups like the
NAACP and others assume and perpetuate racial classifications for
institutional purposes but are inadvertently continuing the Jim Crow
classifications of "essential" blackness. Of course, these institutions
do not do this for the active perpetuation of Jim Crow, but in an
attempt to REVERSE the modern effects of Jim Crow (affirmative action,
minority set asides, and "minority" positions, for example). However, in
an attempt to destroy evil - evil must live on as a frame of reference.
In other words, we are thus forced - for the time being and for some
time in the future - to accept and recognize the evil of Jim Crow. Jim
Crow society insisted that blackness go back to at least 1/16th of a
person's heritage. Further than that, race becomes socially benign and
unimportant. Thus the "essentialness" of race (one-drop rule) has its
limits even in Jim Crow. What's more amazing is that Rachel Dolezal
sought to challenge the affirmative action policies of Howard University
as a White woman! And I guess she figured if you can't beat 'em, join
'em - and thus today has challenged the social side of institutional
race classification with the NAACP. She seemed dead-serious, too.<br />
<br />
The IDENTITY Assumption - Identity Theory says you are who and what YOU
say you are - not what society or anyone else may say you are.<br />
<br />
1. Premise A: If the transgendered can have a gender identity change
even before surgery, then why can't race identity be changed? (Bruce
Jenner are you with me?) This is a rock-solid claim emerging from modern
psychology and the reparative mental therapy movement within that
discipline. The theory is simple enough: by affirming the good, the mind
can replace the mental state which has trended towards that which is
harmful. Psychology and social theory later enmeshed to use these
techniques to project idealistic states onto social evils, including
race. For example, by asking "aren't we all from the same race?" the
adherents seek to minimize and neutralize differences and promote human
union and social harmony. By allowing people to affirm whatever gender
or race they choose to call themselves, the belief is that we'll all
begin to see how flimsy and unimportant those "evil" classifications
truly are. After all, how can Michael Jackson bleach his skin and not be
challenged by the Black community, yet a White woman darkens her skin
and has to defend her actions from critics charging her with
resurrecting a type of modern Amos and Andy-like "Birth of a Nation"
minstrelsy?<br />
<br />
2. Premise B: Before we get too smug about it, Christianity is also
awash in Identity Theory. We Christians make claims about ourselves all
the time that are not true from evidence. Indeed, the Bible tells us to
do this. The belief that Christians are a "chosen people and a royal
priesthood" for example is based upon Identity Theory found in the Old
Testament. We call those things that are not as though they were is
based upon New Testament biblical grounds. And if so, then why can't
Identity Theory be expanded to include race classifications? Ms. Dolezal
staked her social and professional life upon the deep truth found in
Identity Theory.<br />
<br />
The LEGAL Assumption - the laws of the U.S. have been affected to adhere
to racial classifications, i.e. the government wants to know your
racial classification.<br />
<br />
1. PREMISE A: Any time you fill out a legal document and a
classification of race is asked, if you were to misrepresent yourself
you would be subject to perjury charges. The reason, as stated above, is
that the law of the land is still fighting the effects of Jim Crow, but
in order to fight the good fight - the memory of the evil system must
be invoked. Now, the perpetrators of the Jim Crow system, i.e., White
males, have grudgingly accepted the fact that a system is needed to fix
the inequality which emerged from Jim Crow. U.S. law courts have
affirmed this repeatedly in some key decisions in our day. The challenge
is that the systems which have emerged legally are not perfectly
spelled out. And why is this? Because the legal counter-challenges to
them use the language that racial classifications are essentially racist
in theory. Thus for practical reasons, the Justice Department has
construed its federal laws to say "non-disciminatory" not favoring a one
race over another - while simultaneously acknowledging that society has
an interest in certain racial outcomes to fix Jim Crow. The legal
defense of race law is not a good one, but it's a necessary evil. Thus
you will continue to see forms in which race and race classifications
are asked, but there will be a disclaimer stating non-discrimination
based upon race, gender, creed, national origin, etc. These forms become
your racial documentation, so to speak. The cynics among the White males, the losers in all this racial redress, will insist upon a fixed definition of race so as to get a clear picture of how far and how long their social and legal status as an "oppressor" will be. <br />
<br />
2. The legal assumption that being Black must have some kind of
documented or socially affirmed status is what enrages Black people when
Whites try to assume Black personage. As someone said, Ms. Dolezal can
CHANGE her status, but Blacks cannot. But I'd argue even that SOME
Blacks cannot, but SOME Blacks CAN. As long as there have been
light-skinned Black people "passing" for White, SOME Blacks can get away
with being White. While we all have known Blacks who are socially White and are "lost" inside and into
the White social class, they cannot escape their birth certificates nor
their appearances. But some light-skinned Blacks have (in New Orleans
for example) lived in quiet secrecy all their lives to such a degree
that it would take a close family member to "out" them. That's just who
they have become, but if race were included on their Drivers Licenses we
would know the truth. Ms. Dolezal was "outed" on national TV, which
brought us to this discussion.<br />
<br />
My take is that while Ms. Dolezal went as far as she could to live the
life of Black experience, this case ironically suggests a certain
positive status for minority person-hood in that a White woman would
sacrifice her White privilege - in the U.S. no less - to be Black and be
thus of a diminished social status as a U.S. citizen. But really and
truly: I blame her parents in not explaining to her the rash of Black
child adoptions they did perhaps while Rachel was a little girl. It is obvious to
me that she took all of the Black adoptions as a rejection of her
White-ness and sought to win her parents' affection and affirmation for
who she was not, rather than for who she was. This is a classic case of
"reverse-passing".Ballpointbloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02812812223605398715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566674568026954444.post-22399185755990125322015-03-23T07:30:00.003-07:002015-03-23T07:35:51.731-07:00Beware of Obama is Right!To the people of Israel, I offer my sincerest apologies for the tyrant my countrymen have elected as President of the United States. It is true, he was chosen democratically - as Germany chose Hitler perhaps. But our great sin is that we chose him twice. Now, many Americans are sorry and filled with regret. Like Hitler's grip over Germany tightened, Obama's grip on America is choking out our lifeblood. He is far worse than most of us thought he'd be. As for Israel, our staunchest ally in the Middle East, Obama is set to turn his wrath on you. Read NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin's words:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go
after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists,
tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the
borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet. He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race
relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons
our allies, appeases tyrants, coddles adversaries and uses the
Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter
their way across the Mideast. Now he’s coming for Israel.Barack Obama’s promise to transform America was too modest. He is
transforming the whole world before our eyes. Do you see it yet? Against the backdrop of the tsunami of trouble he has unleashed,
Obama’s pledge to “reassess” America’s relationship with Israel cannot
be taken lightly. Already paving the way for an Iranian nuke, he is
hinting he’ll also let the other anti-Semites at Turtle Bay have their
way. That could mean American support for punitive Security Council
resolutions or for Palestinian statehood initiatives. It could mean
both, or something worse. Whatever form the punishment takes, it will aim to teach Bibi
Netanyahu never again to upstage him. And to teach Israeli voters never
again to elect somebody Obama doesn’t like. Apologists and wishful thinkers, including some Jews, insist Obama
realizes that the special relationship between Israel and the United
States must prevail and that allowing too much daylight between friends
will encourage enemies. Those people are slow learners, or, more dangerously, deny-ists. If Obama’s six years in office teach us anything, it is that he is
impervious to appeals to good sense. Quite the contrary. Even respectful
suggestions from supporters that he behave in the traditions of
American presidents fill him with angry determination to do it his way. For Israel, the consequences will be intended. Those who make excuses
for Obama’s policy failures — naive, bad advice, bad luck — have not
come to grips with his dark impulses and deep-seated rage. His visceral dislike for Netanyahu is genuine, but also serves as a
convenient fig leaf for his visceral dislike of Israel. The fact that
it’s personal with Netanyahu doesn’t explain six years of trying to
bully Israelis into signing a suicide pact with Muslims bent on
destroying them. Netanyahu’s only sin is that he puts his nation’s
security first and refuses to knuckle under to Obama’s endless demands
for unilateral concessions. That refusal is now the excuse to act against Israel. Consider that,
for all the upheaval around the world, the president rarely has a cross
word for, let alone an open dispute with, any other foreign leader. He
calls Great Britain’s David Cameron “bro” and praised Egypt’s Muslim
Brotherhood president, Mohammed Morsi, who had called Zionists “the
descendants of apes and pigs.”</span></i> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Most troubling is Obama’s bended-knee deference to Iran’s Supreme
Leader, which has been repaid with “Death to America” and “Death to
Israel” demonstrations in Tehran and expanded Iranian military action in
other countries. The courtship reached the height of absurdity last week, when Obama
wished Iranians a happy Persian new year by equating Republican critics
of his nuclear deal with the resistance of theocratic hard-liners,
saying both “oppose a diplomatic solution.” That is a damnable slur
given that a top American military official estimates that Iranian
weapons, proxies and trainers killed 1,500 US soldiers in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Who in their right mind would trust such an evil regime
with a nuke? Yet Netanyahu, the leader of our only reliable ally in the region, is
repeatedly singled out for abuse. He alone is the target of an
orchestrated attempt to defeat him at the polls, with Obama political
operatives, funded in part by American taxpayers, working to elect his
opponent. They failed and Netanyahu prevailed because Israelis see him as their
best bet to protect them. Their choice was wise, but they’d better
buckle up because it’s Israel’s turn to face the wrath of Obama. As we've seen before, he is friend to those nations we previously called enemies. In fact, Iran still calls America it's enemy. And yet President Obama is still interested in giving Iran a nuclear weapon. Therefore, in my judgment President Obama is placing not only America at national security risk, but Israel's national existence at risk.</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Obama does not, has not, and never will love America. Because of his Marxist, pro-Muslim upbringing, the Judeo-Christian worldview is and always has been anathema to him. In keeping with his worldview, Israel, the "Judeo" of the Judeo-Christian worldview, must be wiped out. And guess what - Iran has pledged this in every word it utters. Like Cato of the Roman Republic who declared at the end of every speech that Carthage must be destroyed, so Iran bellows an endless chant of Death to America and Death to Israel. And as Obama has clipped American power to protect Israel's existential presence in the region, he now turns his attention to aid those who intend to destroy her outright or to remove from power (Bibi) those who intend to protect and preserve the Jewish state. <br />
<br />
This is beyond nefarious. This makes Obama a master deceiver. Moreover, he is a master deceiver of Hitlerian cunning occupying the seat of the world's most powerful (for now) office. And if I didn't have my notions about the antichrist elsewhere, I'd say Barack Obama is the closest to being the antichrist as I have seen in my lifetime.<br />
<br />
I'm a Christian and a believer. I trust in
God's providential protection of Israel. So we shall see. My prayer is
that God gives us (America & Israel) the strength to endure such
lunatic foreign policy making and gives the American people -
particularly the Republican Party in current control of the Congress -
the backbone to withstand his every move and intention.<br />

I was struck at how petty our President and his Administration seemed in denigrating the Prime Minister's efforts at merely speaking to the People of the United States of America. Why the blockage? Why the naysaying chatter? Why prevent this speech? It was glowing on the issue of American support of Israel. It was truth-telling. It was a dire warning to the American people about the nature of the regime with which the US is in close negotiations regarding nuclear power and weapons. It basically said that the same "Death to America" nation Iran was before - it is now. And now even ISIS is a competitor regime - a regime intent on destroying Western Civilization and returning the world to a 7th century caliphate. Bibi was just reminding us of the developments that have taken place just in the last two years. And our President sought to stop and disrupt Netanyahu's speech to Congress. Amazing. <br />
<br />
I have always said that President Obama is unworthy of the office he now occupies. However I now think him to be an anti-Semite. Again and again, he has supported Islam over Christianity. Judaism to him is even worse. Obama bows before the Saudi King yet sends Bibi the message that he can't stand him (note the crossed leg away from Bibi): <br />
<br />

<br />
Amazing.<br />
<br />
On this eve of the anniversary of the attempted pur of the Jews of Iran called Purim, perhaps it is time to consider that God intended this speech from Israel to America before He releases judgment on His covenant nation. Is it possible that for Obama to seek to prevent this message suggests he may be standing as one who seeks to oppose God? It is possible. <br />
<br />
But I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is indeed a BLOOD BOND between Israel and America. I am not an Anglo-Israelite believer, but I think something biblically, spiritually, and viscerally "End Times" driven in this bi-national relationship.<br />
<br />
And even though I can't explain it, I think our common enemies believe there is a bond there as well. So, since there is - let America's support for the Jewish nation and state continue unwaveringly for the sake and blessing of Abraham.<br />

I despise the religion. I despise the faith. I hate Islam because it hates freedom. It hates liberty. It is utterly incompatible with free societies everywhere. I am revulsed by the blood-thirstiness of the Koran. I am shocked and put off by the death romance of its most rabid followers. These are my personal feelings. I am emotional right now. As a Christian, I know I shouldn't hate, but it is a moral struggle for me that I am right now losing. Only the Cross can save me, I know.<br />
<br />
The deniers of the seriousness of radical Islam and the serious problems in Islamic thinking have only enabled the continuing Muslim surge into the West. A quiet invasion that has preyed upon grace has metastasized. The Muslim incursion has become violent. It seeks to suppress free expression. An invasion into the HQ of a satirical journal has crossed the line of the welcome mat. What next? The newsroom? And after that, what? The boardroom?<br />
<br />
To accept this is nonsense and madness. The only hope for France is good sense. The Front National - who speaks the truth about the problem is a start. Round 'em up. Deport them. Deny them a welcome. Denial now is enabling. Je suis Charlie!!

You DID it! You didn't blow it. Now, you've got a chance to save America. But it's a slim chance because as someone said before: "You can work effectively against Obama and his agenda, but it's hard to work against the mindsets of the general electorate who put him there." That said, HOW you work, Republicans, will be the key to doing the things that need to get done. It's like getting things done with a nagging wife. You win her over with flowers, and mow the lawn, for starters. But you do the things you think are right while keeping the rhetoric down, giving her the "Yes, Dear" all while staying firm, but sure; pleasant but determined to keep your eyes on the ball.<br />
<br />
So lets do five things:<br />
1. Defund ACA. Please don't call it Obamacare or you'll fall for the "Republicans are bent on destroying President Obama's legacy" emotive meme. You don't need the emotional back and forth. It is already unpopular enough. Set it aside by exempting all 50 states from it - how 'bout that?. <br />
<br />
2. Build the DARN FENCE. Return the children back to Central America safely and humanely. Wait for Obama to misstep on Immigration. Some can stay, but some will have to return. This one's a toughie, admittedly, but it's why you were elected.<br />
<br />
3. Fix the VA. This one's an easy win-win. We owe it to the Vets.<br />
<br />
4. Get the Keystone Pipeline construction going. People need to be working, and nothing is more American than "shovel-ready" jobs that bring wealth into the heartland at the top of your Republican agenda.<br />
<br />
5. No hearings are needed, but the IRS must be gutted and reformed. We can't see it, but there is or was something sinister going on between it and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.<br />
<br />
One extra: <br />
6. Cut taxes. It's gotten ridiculous again.<br />
<br />

All polling data points to Republican gains in the House and Senate. The key question is will the Republican Party have enough of a gain in the Senate needed to overturn Obamacare. The threshold is 66 seats. Currently the Democratic Party holds the edge with 53 seats to the Republicans' 45 seats. The two Independents usually side with the Democrats. It will take a Republican tsunami to get a 21 seat sweep, but it is not impossible.<br />
<br />
The likelihood scenario is that the Republicans will hold a 59-41 seat majority. Not enough to overturn Obamacare, but enough to get control over this mess of a government and hopefully derail the nefarious plans of a Socialist, Muslim, anti-American president and his Leftist comrades-in-arms from foisting their suicidal agenda on this nation.<br />
<br />
What Republican candidates will now have to watch for is the unforced error - a speaking gaffe - or for the forced error. And what is a forced error? A forced error is a planted question, a mockery, a gonzo journalistic assault upon a Republican candidate with the express purpose of defaming, embarrassing, or discrediting Republican candidates or incumbents - coming from a member of the Media, the Press corps, or from a so-called "unbiased journalist".
Make no mistake about it, the Media is all in for Democratic Party. They themselves ARE Democrats. They cannot bring themselves to vote for a Republican candidate. Editorial staffs across the country have been put on notice to support Democratic Party candidates in their lines of questioning, in their presumption of Republican guilt. In short, the Democrats will not lose a single election on account of the Media. Indeed, it will wise for the Republican candidate to assume the Media is against him or her.<br />
<br />
The RACE card will be played. The GENDER BIAS card will be played. The MY BODY, MY CHOICE card will be played. The CLIMATE CHANGE card will be played. The GAY AGENDA card will be played. The HEALTH CARE FOR ALL card will be played. The ISLAMOPHOBIA card will be played. The IMMIGRATION CHILD card will be played.
So Republicans need to be on guard!!!<br />
<br />
The unseen enemy, our free press, the institution needful for a free republic, is on the prowl seeking to devour Republicans and elect Democrats. The game they play is to appear to be even-handed in their Q & A then out comes the low-blow, cheap shot, trick question, i.e., like journalistic flim-flam artists - what street folks call the "okie-doke". How they get Republicans to fall for it is in their artful deception. So I say: Be Alert Republicans! DON'T FALL FOR THE OKIE-DOKE!<br />

A Journalist Beheaded<a href="http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d32_1408641089">Just watching the gruesome beheading</a> of journalist James Foley makes me angry, sad, and downright vengeful. He was a brave man. This was a direct attack on free speech. It was a spit in the face of freedom by a group dedicated to wiping out freedom. Yet what amazes me is the deafening silence of the media, the pundits, even the Hollywood so-called opinion makers - all of whom depend on the exchange of free ideas and free societies to traffic their thoughts and opinions. No tweets, no columns, no nothing. Only the Right wing media seems ablaze with substantive words. What gives? Nothing from Dwight Howard? Penelope Cruz, where are you when we need an involved political tweet to respond to this gruesome horror?
Speaking of involved, all our President could give in response to the beheading was a tepid, amateur theologian summation of how "no religion teaches this", then back to the links. Four!!! I'm just thinking out loud: did Ike play this much golf? I mean, when you've got the Secretary of Defense and active and retired generals all talking about taking ISIS seriously and the Commander in Chief behaving in such a casual and aloof fashion - it sends mixed signals that cannot steel a nation for the seriousness of the task at hand. <a href="http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/">This was observed by Michael Savage</a>, and I agree with this: the ONLY thing that gets this President riled up and emotional are the Republicans. No crisis, no situation, no judge - nothing gets him into the game, so to speak, than the Republican Party and all that it stands for. This is strange, fascinating, and unbecoming of the holder of the most powerful office on the planet.
Me? I'm simply waiting for the next disaster to strike, and praying it isn't the blow to end all blows.

I honestly believe Barack Obama is firmly against the nation of Israel. I've stated this in this blog many times. He is unprecedented, as president, in his continual lies about his love for America, his support for this countries allies, and about any general support for Israel. We've come now to the case of the president's statement on "unprecedented" support for Israel and its security.
Bound by agreements between allies, it is customary and routine for military departments to trade, ship, and share arms and munitions. It's part of the ongoing process of building trust and cooperation among allies for the sake of common national security interests. <a href="http://freebeacon.com/national-security/311068/">We now have come to discover that the White House has injected itself into the customary arms shipment process from the U.S. to Israel - and has put a block on all military shipments to Israel.</a> My Lord. This article captures how poorly a press secretary reacts when confronted by reporters as to why this block happened and who's responsible for it. The backdrop of president Obama's previous declaration of unprecedented support is telling. This man and his Administration are not to be trusted. It's just how skillfully he cloaks his lies to Israel and to the American people is what is so fascinating. His lies, in my judgment, have long since crossed the Rubicon of incredible to credible.

I loved it! A true story: I was interested in planting a church in the inner city of a major southern metroplex a few years ago. I needed advice and some fundraising help from my denomination - whose name will go unmentioned - but suffice it to say that this multinational church denomination is famous for sending missionaries abroad, especially to Africa. Eventually during my conversation over lunch with the Missions Board Director, the topic of how much I needed to get started came up. When I asked how much it would cost to send a missionary to Africa, I was told a five figure sum could be given by the Board and the rest would have to be raised from the local church. I suggested I'd be interested in receiving a tenth of that amount. When he asked where I was interested in going, I replied, to the inner city. Unfortunately for me that did not strike him as a mission field and the conversation's tone changed a bit. While sympathetic to my desires, the Missions Director delicately stated that US inner cities were ineligible for missions status since, in so many words as he put it: it was the "territory" of the Black Churches of America. Ahem! Ah, well. That was that. A missionary to Africa can receive $30,000 from a major denomination but a missionary to Atlanta, not even a tenth of that. I was not entirely discouraged, but I did leave that denomination and temporarily laid aside my plans to preach and teach the Word of God. Abandoning the mission field in the city, I sought instead to become an educator - and found a position as a Christian school educator, in particular. As it turned out, the Lord was providentially closing doors and leading me to where He wanted me to be. And like a fish to water, it has been in the field of Christian education where I have found much satisfaction and peace. Yet every now and again, I look back at the fields of harvest in the city from time to time and wonder what might have been. When I see the collapse of the Black family in the city I wonder what good I could have done.
Reading Ann Coulter's article caused me to remember what I saw at the time. America's soul was dying and it needed missionaries to the places where its soul was darkest: it's cities. Nothing against Africa, there are many fine Christians and churches there, but America needs all its Christian hands on deck, on its own shores. Ann is right, that doctor would have been of far greater use here in our towns and cities where diseases of the soul abound.
