“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor 3:17
Once again we are being propagandized by the Global Warmists. Of course they have changed the catchphrase into Climate Change or as it has been called in the past; weather, they are mining the nuggets of fear many are hoping for. For communists, the main purpose for living is centralizing power and more control in distributing the resources of a country. The Regressives have pretty much taxed every source on the planet so the only thing untaxed is air, Global Warming fills that loophole since they are taxing air.
For the average Socialist leader who hates America and the Free Market or freedom in general, there is an unquenchable need to take money from the producers and give it to the non producers and ruling class. Ideally this buys them votes and maintains power through growing their groups of votes such as food stamps, teachers and gummit unions. Decades ago they realized they could buy votes through laws and giveaways to the point we are at now where we have the largest public employee sector in our histoir giving the Dems a solid base to count on and employee unions to fund and steal elections. they have created a pipeline from your wallet to their largest contributors. This has become a near unbreakable vote advantage very similar to the old Soviet Union.
These forces speak in one voice as well as the coordination of the Three Pillars of Propaganda, science, media and the DNC to manipulate and mold groupthink to vilify groups such as manufacturers and sanctify anti-American groups such as environmentalists. This causes the consensus groupthink to believe Global Warming is a fact allowing politicians like Obama to punish the producers with excessive regulation and tax in the name of protecting the earth. If the manufacturers object for their own survival they will be painted as evil earth rapists or the greedy wealthy. The three pillars will work in unison while nobody will defend the Free Market’s right to survive as anybody standing with them will be called anti-science or paid off by an evil corporation.
What the Three Pillars are attempting to accomplish is to make anybody who is for their agenda is a good person who is trying to save Mother Gaia, while anybody against it is an unforgivable sinner against the earth. This is the social morality argument which says you are a good person if you abide by their common groupthink of what they define as good or evil socially. As bizarre as that sounds they have so conditioned the people to believe this they are willing to tax and enslave themselves and their neighbors without considering the possibility it could be a farce or the damage this extremism has caused. They will go along with living their lives socially moral while watching their gas, electric and nearly every manufactured good rise artificially high and their jobs become harder to find. The commiecrats have found a way for human beings to enslave themselves religiously in their Godless cult.
This concept is reinforced with every movie, TV program and news media with science verifying the idea to the point where anybody who questions the obvious gaps in the theory are considered extremists and heretics to the public good. These heretics are called names such as deniers, anti-science and will face the virtual lynching to keep anybody from also questioning the Three Pillars. Now, even though there is absolutely no credible proof or measurable results reflecting their doomsday models, anyone going against the consensus will be destroyed. This is what happens when politics touches any group like science or media and is the essence of agenda driven science. It has been corrupted far beyond repair to the point of being used to prop up a failed political system with bogus programs formed to enslave people.
There is really only one solution to this religion and that is a return to God and a strengthening of the church. When people go without God or the Bible they have an empty existence with no meaning or purpose living their lives from day to day. They understand this emptiness and have a need to fill it as well as lead a life with meaning. They have emptiness pumped into their minds day after day causing a void to be filled with something they can grab onto. This is what the Three Pillars have exploited by filling that vacuum with a Godless religion which says you must sacrifice everything for the good of society and the earth. People are starved for a message of serving something bigger than themselves and have bought into this cult completely with Global Warming at the center.
Now when they recycle plastic bags or shut down a coal plant they believe they have saved the earth and millions of people because they saw a movie by Algore. They believe it with every fiber of their body, soul and minds so they will lead their lives in any manner the rulers say to save their gods. They are actually accomplishing nothing since plastic bags or coal plants have absolutely no negative effect on the world, but they want to believe they are saving the planet when in reality they are damaging it by not managing and developing it properly.
This is the battle we are fighting with agenda driven science which is supported by the three pillars. We do not have as wide a voice or a well developed triad to manipulate people’s minds. Those who are willing to stand up will be mocked and destroyed by these powers which are intently marching towards a communist dictatorship without the people who are willing subjects as the vast armies of voters to enslave the unwilling. There is only one answer and that is for a revival and return to God, a boldness to not back down from speaking the truth and turning away from these extremely powerful Pillars.
Pray for America

Good morning everybody. Beautiful day on Lookout Mountain.
The Founders' ideas of Limited Government is almost totally forgotten today.
Great piece but its far worse than you claim. Here a link to a piece I read at AT earlier this morning.I lambasted the author for not coming up with some solutions as easily as he does hopeless, hapless defeat for our side.
Here’s a sample of his take on the electorate:
So Republicans and conservatives, I’d say the same thing to you that I’d say to a Rabbi rejected by the Hitler Youth: if you think that the Democrats heard, digested and rejected your arguments in the last election, you’re deluded. Your brand is so soiled that you will not be heard by this generation...short of a calamity on the order of the one that befell the Nazis. Your misreading of the times and the situation is startling. You look like bewildered youngsters trying to please a psychotic mother, looking for cues in an electorate and media that derides and, in many cases, despises you. In terms of convincing the electorate of the good sense of your positions, there may not be workable solutions: but take a first step by facing the truth: you have allowed the culture to drift for decades, and one feature of the drift is the acceptability of determined mindlessness...including the mindless rejection of you and whatever it is that you proclaim. You still have a substantial choir to whom you preach...but probably a larger counter-choir that not only doesn’t hear you but aggressively covers its ears when you speak.
There used to be some PSA’s that decried a dripping faucet and water use for non-essential use. The message seem to imply that ‘water’ was a declining/diasppearing resource.
Turn the channel or load up a new website and one is inundated with global warming and the fear that coastal regions will eventually be permanently flooded.
Paper bags were so evil that the greenies managed to get most of them replaced with plastic. A couple of decades later, we are informed (by the greenie mentalities) that plastic is evil, primarily because Walmart, which is also evil, uses plastic bags. Ergo, the push for reusable bags.
So many greenie ideas look so good on paper. But, most of those greenie ideas turn out of have unintended consequences. Those reusable bags — they quickly become contaminated with bacteria and are, thus, health hazards.
As Kermit says, sort of, ‘it’s not easy being green(ie)’.
If one pays attention to all the claims, one sees that the greenie/global warming/leftist messages are mixed, muddled, and contradictory. They do, however, manage to gain influence and money, and that is their ultimate goal.
Exactly. BINGO. He is following a typical politician's
"honesty". Just like Romney having started and imposed RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
and they both knew/know the MSM would never even report it
and the voting public and illegals could not care less.
You can't make this stuff up, no matter how hard you try. Bet he gets kidded about his name.
Morning All!
3-5” today, tonight 1-3”, tomorrow...chance of show...30%
Thanks for the thread and ping AB.
Tom Coburn: “It’s a pro-RATa amount, not $85 Billion”
Wallace challenges the old bag with how the Senate hasn’t passed any budget bills nor proposed any cuts.
Coburn stating that RATs using scare tactics, the cuts could be made in ways that the public wouldn’t even feel.
Lest we forget where this idea came from.
It seems that the morning topic is going to be sequestration.
FNS
Wallace: I’m impuning his [Hagel’s] competence ...
It’s important that we call it “The Obama Sequestration”, to give their beloved ruler the same status as W, as in “The Bush Tax Cuts.”
Lest we forget where this idea came from.
You are exactly correct Rock and Rep.Cantor has been all over this one as well. The problem is that zero would have to negotiate with us and he refuses to come anywhere near us.
My take is he’s too stupid to negotiate with us.
Below is taken from FR on another thread.post # 35
The sequester requires agencies to make across-the-board cuts and does not allow them the flexibility to make targeted cuts. Congress and the White House would have to agree on a bill to replace the sequester if they want to make the cuts more targeted.
The above shows that the design of the sequester bill is preventing targeted cuts which Cantor says could solve all the problems. Truth is zero does not want targeted cuts and probably has never had a question on such. He can’t demagogue us or the sequester if the cuts were targeted.
Bottom line he’s campaigning again.This time not running for election just running against us, and its all political.
Never have we had such a loser potus.
Good morning, mtnwmn. I am jealous of your view.
ABC talking about Syria. Christian says the options should be for the US to have skin in the game, boots on the ground (I think that’s what she’s advocating)
George Will is the one lone voice that disagrees on doing “something” in Syria. says we may be at the point that neither choice who will be in control once this is over will be a good choice. (I agree! - stay out of Syria)
...there were so many LIVs on the forum I just had a blast destroying their ignorant notions.
Fighting on FR is hard because we all have conservative values to some extent so a lot of disagreement is trivial but om Mediate I can truthfully call the dummies big dummies and most have the comeback abilities of a Potsy Weber..
ABC - on to Iran. Sanctions are having an impact in Iran. (Shazam - obama is saving the day!).
One on one nuclear talks - ambassador (?) says we’re just getting delays in having talks while they continue their nuclear program.
Will says obama should have SOME red line to a nuclear Iran based on what he has said. (lol, and you believe him, George?)
Thanks RG, she is writing the same thing I wrote only longer. The first step is realizing you have a problem and what it is. The next step is to realize what we are doing isn’t working and then find new ways around the Three Pillars or cause an earthquake.
I believe my group has found a way and have written a manual explaining the way.
Pray for America
It's up to us how well we can counter the endless attacks by zero and his media.
Also the dems are totally invested in govt. spending. When the day comes that they can't use our money to buy votes for their constituency they are through as a political party and they know it.
That's why any cuts at all are a sheer disaster for them.
Sad thing is that’s true about most for the middle East. Pick your favorite terrorist is pretty much what you get.
You have had the greatest training ever here on FR! If you make it/survive here you can go literally anywhere and hold your own with no problem. This place is like "the farm" for CIA wannabees.If you last 10k posts here you are a pro.!!
You have to laugh at all the greenies who take their recycle bags to the store knowing they are made out of more plastic than plastic bags and expose themselves to diseases. Now they have to wash them using more water and soap to be a “good” person.
This has more to do with how they shape the argument and win it as they are doing with sequester. Paint the Repubs as evil and greedy for not spending your money until they cave.
Bump. In fact:
It's important that we call it "The Obama Sequestration"
Notice that whenever someone calls it the "Obama Sequestration", the media cries in unison: "The Republicans passed it, too. The Republicans passed it, too." this is proof that it is a good idea.
Maybe the “p”s are silent...
True, rodguy. Interesting discussion on health care on ABC. I have to go to church....carry on everyone!
Outstanding can’t wait to see it.
Great to hear form you Girlene catch you later!
Good idea; I doubt if many Obama voters can spell Sequestration, let alone understand what it means. It is entirely possible that in 15-20 years there will be contestants on American Idol named Sequestration.
I recall I fought tooth and nail with one guy for five days arguing over whether Sean Hannity was a good broadcaster or not.I forgot who won but we became FRiends.
At the time I was just finishing up my other job as a morning drive guy.
Truth is there is FR and every where else. I think I am right up there near 50k myself.
It is entirely possible that in 15-20 years there will be contestants on American Idol named Sequestration.
For obama/the regime its all political. They have decided to send zero out for four years to try and finish us off. To try and destroy us.They have val/jar and the bent axel running things so zero can continue to do what he was trained to do, fund raise, campaign, lie, distort and attack us.
It’s up to us how well we can counter the endless attacks by zero and his media.
Also the dems are totally invested in govt. spending. When the day comes that they can’t use our money to buy votes for their constituency they are through as a political party and they know it.
That’s why any cuts at all are a sheer disaster for them.
Here's some great tuff from Jindall: Time to stop campaigning,Mr. President, put good teachers in the classroom, significant tax reforms, stop scaring American people roll up your sleeves, cut tax rates,Walmart slowing down, more private sector growth, less govt. growth.
Duuuvvaallll Patrick engaging in massive projections accusing us of doing exactly what they are doing, the rest mostly lies,unreal.
Thanks Bob.
I came to the conclusion long ago that these Sunday morning talkshows are not ratings/viewership driven. They seem to have a relatively consistent number of viewers week after week. They seem to be just filler material as an alternative to religious programming.
That is the reason they survive with the same ole weekly guests and same ole topics/issues and same ole agenda positions.
I haven’t checked their ratings/viewership numbers in a long while, but, IIRC, the most watched only gets about 3 million viewership.
A quick google search showed CBS’s Face The Nation as #1 with 3.37 million vewers
Anyhoo, Jindal is pretty good today.
That said, I believe both parties don't want to see a reduction in spending or even the growth of spending. When you have the Reps echoing what the Dems say about how painful the sequestration "cuts" will be, they are just reinforcing the Dem message.
I fully expect a last minute deal using some accounting gimmick to nullify or nitigate sequestration. It will be another Rep cave or rather another "Good cop, bad cop" charade. Then it is on to the next "crisis," the continuing resolution.
In the meantime, we have a three ring circus with gun control and immigration garnering media and public attention. It is part of the Dem strategy to divide and conquer and overwhelm.
I thought the MSM used these shows to construct the bat they would use to beat Pubbies about the head and shoulders for the following week.
the cnn meme is that the senate and house have agreed to universal checks (aka full registration) and magazine limits. (aka reducing life saving)
Looking ahead to the likely ramifications of the tax increases passed a couple of months ago, the economy will be slowing even further. Like many here, I don't really think these pending cuts are more than a drop in the bucket. The way this has been set up, the implementation of the sequestration accomplishes cover for Democrats, something to blame a slowing economy on. As the Obama team has been successful (thus far) in turning the sequestration into a Republican idea, guess who will be blamed when the economy goes from bad to worse?
About the only political win I can see for Republicans is to use the successful Democrat strategy of repeating a talking point over and over again. Thus, this should always be referred to as "The Obama Sequestration".
It will shock you what it says, but it worked here in braindead Oregon.
