“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

It seems that the morning topic is going to be sequestration.

It is amazing that Obama is the one who came up with that concept, got Congress to pass it, and now is succeeding in blaming the potential resulting problems (cuts, job losses, closings) on the Republicans.

Pubbies do seem to be losing the argument, again. They just do not know how to get their message out. They keep 'hoping' that the Dems/Obama will play nice. They are so delusional and naive, or they are in on the ole shell game and are playing the dupes very convincingly.

Senator Coburn is on FNS today. I am reading his book The Debt Bomb which is very depressing. He blames "careerism" for much of our current problem. Too many of the people we elect to send to Washington, Ds and Rs, vote for their own career future, rather than for the country's future.

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.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/02/three_reasons_conservatives_are_losing_the_battle_for_america.html

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.

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.

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.

Interesting article from an entertainment website, Mediaite.com, by a sports analyst/commentator, Joe Concha, comparing the current political situation (sequestration) with The Hangover I and The Hangover II:

What can the ratings be for a talk show on this matter? What’s less than nothing at all? And where is the person in Washington who is prepared to immediately rise above this incestuous, squirrelly topic and get to the heart of the matter?

Not bad. But what about a descent into the completely ludicrous and call it the “Obama spending cuts.”

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.

Read more: http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/budget/284213-cantor-obama-offering-false-choices-on-sequester#ixzz2Lm7OcWbr

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.
