Operation Save America National Event July 17-24
Posted: Thursday, July 15, 2004
After months of planning, Minutemen United is happy to announce that final plans are complete for the Operation Save America, National Event to be held in Columbus during the week of July 17-24. We are posting a list of activities that we would like to invite you to join in during this week. However, this is only a partial list! In order to be effective it is essential that we not make all of our plans public at this time. Please understand, the element of surprise is essential for many of the activities.
We will be sending out daily emails to keep you abreast of the next days' activities, hopefully giving you plenty of time to to join us as we witness on the streets of Columbus.
Worship services will be held every night!
God has provided an awesome location for us to hold our praise and worship services. They will be held nightly at 6:30. Although we know that it is impossible for many of you to join with us during the day because of work obligations, we hope that you will make the effort to be part of the praise celebrations every evening. Make plans to attend, and Friday we will release a list of the locations of the services. You will be emailed this information.
A Partial list of the activites schedule is listed below.
We will have Christians on the streets of Columbus from 6 am to 5:00 pm everyday. Because of the element of surprise we are only releasing to you at this time each days' group event, but will keep you updated everyday on the complete schedule for the next day. Below is what we are prepared to release at this time.
Saturday July 17
You are invited to join us at 1:30, immediately after Coach's show, at Mt. Carmel Hospital West, where we will park and walk out to Broad street to meet Flip and the walk-across-America team. We will parade to Columbus City hall, 90 W. Broad, for a welcoming rally at 2:30 on the steps of City Council. Thousands of people will be downtown because the Jazz and Rib fest is being held on the riverfront at the same time. What a witness our march will be!
At 6:30 the praise and worship service will be held and will give you the location of that event on Friday.
Sunday July 18
We encourage you to attend your local church. The OSA team will be witnessing on the streets of Columbus in the morning. Activities are planned for Sunday afternoon, and we will release them to you on Saturday.
At 6:30 pm the Solemn Assembly will be held. This will be a praise and worship service where pastors from around Ohio will pray a prayer of repentance for the sins of the nation, and plead with God to send a spiritual revival to our nation. On Friday, we will announce the location of this service.
Monday July 19
Monday morning OSA participants will be on the streets on Columbus by 6:00 am raising up a witness to the city. These activites, to be announced daily, will end at 11am where we will once again return to Columbus City Hall, for the Emancipation Proclamation. This is a prophetic act where we declare that the unborn child is free and protected by the same Constitutional rights granted to every born American.
More specific activites are planned for the afternoon, and we will release those to you on Sunday night.
At 6:30 Praise and worship will be held.
Tuesday July 20 and Wednesday July 21

Operation Save America Event Has National Media Outlet
Posted: Thursday, July 15, 2004
For those of you who are not able to attend the events Coach Daubenmire will be hosting live updates twice a day so that you can remain informed about the latest developments. These live broadcasts can be heard at 10:30 am and 5:30 pm, and will be broadcast through the facilities of WLRY 88.5 in Rushville, Ohio (www.wlry.org). Live internet streaming is available, so no matter where you live, you can receive instant updates on the Truth of the event, rather than a report filtered through the secular media.
In order to listen to the live updates go to www.coachdavelive.com and click on the OSA Update icon. In addition, Coach Daubenmire will archive the broadcasts on his website www.coachdavelive.com so that you will be able to listen to them in case you were not able to catch the broadcast live.
Ironically enough, some Christian friends of mine from work and I found out about this because a lefty coworker invited us to a counter rally by www.theanswerisno.org idiotlink here. Somehow, she has it in her mind that OSA's goal is some sort of Taliban-styled Christian Theocracy. She denied claims to the contray by a local Christian radio host and former pastor because he is (gasp) a graduate of Bob Jones University and so its implied he's a racist. Of course this man is nothing of the sort but her mind is already made up.
In fairness, the (now-disgraced, IMHO -- by reason of Biblically-unjustified Divorce) Founder of Operation Rescue (i.e., Operation Save America), Randall Terry, does advocate a Christian Reconstructionist form of State Theocracy:
Incidentally, as a Christian Minarchist-Libertarian, I basically agree with most of Terry's argument here, disgraced by reason of Marital Infidelity though he may be (I do not formally accuse him of Adultery, but a Biblically-invalid Divorce and Re-Marriage does at least constitute an excommunicable "Breach of Good-Faith" with his first wife).
Ideally, Abortionists should be Prosecuted, and Executed. And ideally, Christians -- at least Christian Minarchist-Libertarians who, while rejecting the heresy of outright Anarchism, understand that the Magistrate has no more "Right" to exercise Coercion against a fellow-Citizen than does any other fellow-Citizen -- should seek a purely Voluntary, Social-Contractual Government: a Voluntary Military, and Courts funded by Voluntary Taxation (Taxes should be Voluntary -- understanding that those who refuse to pay, should receive no Police or Judicial protection whatsoever from the Magistrate; "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch").
Where I part company with Randall Terry is his statement, "Christian government would say that consensual homosexual acts are a criminal offense." If consensual homosexual acts are to be a "criminal offense", then what is to be the appropriate Legal Punishment for Sodomy?
If the appropriate Legal Punishment for Sodomy is to be EXECUTION, then two things are required:
On the other hand, if the appropriate Legal Punishment for Sodomy is to be PRISON TIME, then I am left with a quandary:
It seems to me that the appropriate Christian response is instead:
As always, JMHO.

bttt
I was with ya....all the way up to amillennial children.
Premils can also take a long view.
Now, I don't know anything about Randall Terry's divorce and remarriage. Is it possible that it was a divorce for cause?
Also, voluntary taxation is interesting, but sort of strikes me like donating to the Policeman's Society that calls every year. If zero donation gets you zero, protection and some donation gets you some protection, would it be safe to say that lots of donation gets you the lion's share of protection? If so, then there's a problem with the theory that requires tinkering.
Didn't deny it.
Many typically haven't, but there's nothing inherent to Pre-Mill theology which militates against long-view thinking.
Now, I don't know anything about Randall Terry's divorce and remarriage. Is it possible that it was a divorce for cause?
If so, no Party to the Divorce has stated a legitimate Biblical Cause.... certainly Randall Terry's former wife has never been accused of Adultery, and none of the accusations of Adultery against Mr. Terry have ever been substantiated.
Lemme break it down real simple:
Also, voluntary taxation is interesting, but sort of strikes me like donating to the Policeman's Society that calls every year. If zero donation gets you zero, protection and some donation gets you some protection, would it be safe to say that lots of donation gets you the lion's share of protection? If so, then there's a problem with the theory that requires tinkering.
No, I'd say that Consumption and/or Property Taxation would still be the most legitimate basis of Taxation, even allowing for the fact that the Wealthy would pay more. For example: if an assessment of Property Values were the basis of Voluntary Taxation, then the Owner of a $1 million mansion would naturally "pay more" to receive the Equal Protection of Law than would the Owner of a $100,000 house. However, this is entirely appropriate -- the Rich Man has more Property to protect.
The same logic applies to Consumption Taxation, albeit more indirectly (and more difficult to evade -- as few shop-keepers would refuse to collect the Tax, and thus forego Police Protection of their wares).
I will accept consumption taxation but I detest property taxation. It is too liable to abuse and it is similar to paying again and again for the same purchase....sort of a continuing sales tax that never ends, year-after-year-after-year.
I still see tinkering required on the voluntary taxation for municipal coverage. It seems obvious to me that it's simply an economic issue. If 75% of my business comes from one customer, then where will I QUITE LOGICALLY have an enormous focus?
