DECEMBER 2007

Merry Christmas -  Anno Domini 2007

12.19  ** Which Grinch Stole Christmas?  -- you might be surprised at the answer.   Some serious cultural theology.    E. Fox  

12.14  ** The Power of Satan over the Very Young...     E. Fox 

          Hope Rides Alone  --  a Soldier's Last Words on Iraq...  I agree with these sentiments.  We have lit a fire for freedom in Iraq, and we must see it through.   But that requires rediscovering our own Biblical foundations.   E. Fox  

12.14  Mike Huckabee on Quarantine of AIDS patients --   YES!  Right on target.   I am not a fan of Huckabee, but he is very right on this issue, and I applaud him for standing up with a very unpopular message which will get him a lot of abuse. 
        On the political spectrum, he thinks Big Government can solve too many problems, such as welfare and education -- neither of which belong to the Federal domain.  Or to government at any level
        But support the issue, whatever you think of the candidate. 

          Emergency Preparedness --  from the Patriot Post... 

          France's National Suicide -- 

12.11  Police protection for British Imam's daughter who converted to Christianity --  Ruth Gledhill -- More on Islam in Britain (and elsewhere...).   If Muslim "moderates" will not stand up openly against the terrorists, expose them and turn them in, they are not to be believed or trusted.  Before becoming citizens or being allowed to vote, they (and we) should be required to publicly renounce loyalty to any religion or philosophy which rejects an open, truth-seeking approach to life, the level playing field of honest pluralism.   See more in Islam Library, under Strategy with Islam.

          Joseph Farah on Mike Huckabee -- does Huckabee understand the Biblical form of government, or is he a socialist at heart?   I think Farah is right.  I do not agree with Ron Paul on Iraq, but I do believe that Paul does understand the Constitution and Biblical government -- limited and under God. 

          HONEST MONEY Act -- Ron Paul   -- A WINNER from Downsize DC!   

          READ THE BILLS Act --  Another WINNER from DownsizeDC  

12.05  Judaism's Sexual Revolution --  Rabbi Dennis Prager --  a classic on the subject.  

12.04  GOP Map to political officials

         ** The Necessary Foundation of a Free People: Limited Civil Government under God  -- An essay on Love and Politics -- a seminar given regularly at the Minuteman Muster at Camp Vigilance, near Boulevard, California, by Earle Fox. 

12.03  Pathological Science -- Yes, we have invented pathological science -- any science where truth-seeking is not the first order of business.  Which, of course, is no science at all. 

          More Pathological Science (or History) -- on the history of the early scientists and the myths which still surround them fabricating a false opposition between science and Christianity. 

          Basic Anglicanism -- by Louis Tarsitano ---  akin to C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity"  

NOVEMBER 2007

11.29   Muslim Leaders Approach Christians -- More Muslim Subterfuge???   I think so --  you read it and decide.  From the Barnabas Fund -- an excellent Christian organization on top of the Islamic issues.    

 

11.28   Californians for Population Stabilization --  lots of info on the economic and other costs of illegal immigrants.  I do not agree with their advocacy of contraception, other than by natural family planning, because it is almost in fact an abortion, not a prevention of a conception.  But they do have good articles on the impact of our illegal invasion of immigrants. 

           Peace Breaking Out in Iraq???   Sunni-Shia Fatwah against violence???   See also Come Home!  Will we see these in the media, or are they dedicated to having a failure in Iraq?  

11.27   The Continuing Collapse #6  -- of Government Education --  If you think this is a joke, read on....    And GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF GOVERNMENT EDUCATION. 

           ** The Dark Night of Mother Theresa's Soul --    Commentary, E. Fox

           Safe Sex Education accompanied by soaring Sexually Transmitted Disease rates.  Link to Laigle's Forum.  Thank you, government run schools, for your service to our children....   GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF GOVERNMENT EDUCATION...  

11.23   Come Home! -- Link to story on --  Appeal by Muslims in Iraq to Christians who have fled....     
        Wow! here is some info you do not much hear or see.  These Muslims are doing the right things, putting their own lives at risk to protect and welcome Christians right in Iraq.  God bless them...!  
        Where is the support for these people in our press?  They are a central part of the hope for any kind of stability and peace in the Middle East.  This ought to be read in Congress, and all across America -- once it gets verified....    If you hear reliable news about the truth or falsity of this story, please send me an email at emmfox@theroadtoemmaus.org  E. Fox

           German student returns home after kidnapping by German govt.  --  because he was homeschooled.    See Education Library on German education

11.17  School in the Barrios of LA --  Battle-scarred 'sub' in L. A. Barrios speaks out...  I lived in Compton, near Watts during the  1960's, and watched as Watts was burning at the hands of radicals then.  This is the same area.   E. Fox.

            www.NumbersUSA.com   on IMMIGRATION....   Go here to see a website that takes seriously doing research about the immigration problem.  One does not have to agree with everything they say to be impressed with the research and the facts they present.  If anyone knows of a counter-website which does equally well, let me know, and I will post that also.   E. Fox.

           Golden Compass -- an evil book mimicking The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe, aimed at children -- to kill God.  (On Snopes.com...)  Check this out and protect your children.  We are at war.  Are the fathers defending their children?    E. Fox. 

10.28  Ron Paul Website ---  www.RonPaul2008.com   Has videos showing him in action....  He is running for the Republican nomination, but is being considered, it is rumored, also by the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party.  
        See also --
http://www.VoteRonPaul.com   a group of filmmakers, artists, and activists. 
        Ron Paul attributes some of his success to Aaron Russo's film, America: From Freedom to Fascism.  Concerning which, go to http://www.AFTFMovie.com where you can get copies for $1 if you buy 100.  Normally $10 each.

           ** Right & Wrong in Islam -- and a discussion about God and morality....  E. Fox 

10.24  Two articles on Global Warming --  No, not by Al Gore. 

          We, the People -- Superb law suit against the Fed to have the Fed affirm the right of the people to sue for redress of grievances and the obligation of the government to respond to the request.  This has to be one of the most important law cases in progress.  Take a look.  Go to the We, the People website at http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/default.htm   We, the People, have a right to complain, and they have an obligation to listen.  Pray for this one to be heard by the Supreme Court. 

10.23  Kurt Goedel was a brilliant mathematician who is alleged to have proved that mathematics is incomplete, that, for example, it cannot be proved that 2 + 2 = 4.  Mathematicians have generally accepted that conclusion -- which cuts the bottom right out from under the certainty of most of what we call science.  But science goes on anyhow because it appears (at least) to work so well.  Go here to read (surprisingly) Goedel's mathematical version of the Ontological Argument for God.  Be ready for some heavy stuff.  You will be led to further links for completing parts of the article.  
        This has serious implications for science as a whole and its relation to theology, etc.  For more on science and theology, visit Personality, Empiricism, & God (PEG) as it takes shape on the Road to Emmaus.   PEG will be dealing with this uncertainty in coming chapters.    E. Fox

          Global Warming Delusions -- Wall Street Journal 

          Why Evade the Truth About Immigration?   Telegraph (United Kingdom)   Exactly the same issues here.  

          If you think schools are "not that bad", read these items:  Criminal Complaint Puts Texas Teacher on Leave ...    See also PABBIS - Parents Against Bad Books in Schools.  I can assure you that in some Massachusetts schools, students as young as 14 are being taught how to "fist" and about other homosexual behaviors. 

10.22  Ron Paul for President -- in more than one party!???!   This largely unknown man is worth getting to know.  And thank God for the Internet... 

10.19  ** Sex and Gender in California -- If you think this is not radical warfare on the Biblical point of view, you had better go back to grade school and learn all over again how to think.  And then learn the Biblical way out of this horrendously destructive mess. 
            The explanation by Bruce Shortt pulls the evil out of the smoke and mirrors to be exposed to the light of day.  The homosexualist language is cleverly disguised to look sleepy and innocuous.  They are good at what they do.  Too bad that what they do is evil.  Deliberate systematic deceit is always evil, and always leads in the end to the perpetrator's own destruction.     E. Fox 

10.15  The Judiciary as Tyrant --  comments by Madison, Jefferson, & Lincoln...

          Scott Lively to the Russians -- on the danger they are in concerning homosexuality.

           20 Frequently Asked Questions about Homosexuality --  right out of the Episcopal Cauldron.    Read it, copy it, and pass it out like popcorn. 

          43% of Teacher-Pupil sex is Homosexual --  Paul Cameron...   Homosexual persons are thus about 20 times over-represented in the teacher-molester population.  Homosexuality is a compulsive, lethal addiction.  We are insane to give it legal protection. 

          Matthew Shepard: Horst Wessel of the "Gay" Movement  --   Scott Lively. 

          Bush:  All religions pray to the same God...  No, Mr. Bush, they do not....

10.1    The Black Hole of PoMo (Relative Truth) Culture --  Nancy Pearcey on Post Modern views of truth and education. 
 

SEPTEMBER 2007

9.30  Episcopal House of Bishops' Response to the Global Primates on Homosexuality --  More manipulation.  The question is whether the so-called orthodox will be able, not only to stand up and gracefully hold their ground, but take the offensive.   If not, they will continue to lose.  They will have to take the offensive with truth and grace.  
        See Joint Response by 3 orthodox groups...  (Click on "Item #2"). 
        See also The Authority of the Bible in a Scientific Age- Parts I & II...   for how to take the offensive with truth and grace. 
        And - 4 Levels of Christian Unity.   We MUST get the "truth" issue straight, or we will continue to walk in confusion, smoke, and mirrors -- in which only the forces of darkness profit. 

        IRS Suffers Staggering Defeat...   Jury declares 9 accused innocent of 161 charges.  Overthrow the IRS movement is gaining ground.  See also Conspiracy Theory articles.

         German Home Schooling -- persecution continues  --  Rick Scarborough Report.   And coming to the US of A if Globalists can manage it   They want control of YOUR children.  The Germans are going it with laws which Hitler passed and were never revoked.   

9.26  ** George Washington's God --  by Michael Novak and Jana Novak  --  one of the best books out on the Christian religion behind the founding of America, correcting the misinformation that our founding fathers were not mainly Christian but deist.   Review by E. Fox. 

         ** A Letter to my Family - on Immigration and the Minutemen --  E. Fox 

9.20  Mass Slaughter in our Schools:  the Terrorists' Chilling Plan -- and where is Pres. Bush, and why are our borders open? 

         http://www.lonestartimes.com/   (Do a search at the top of the page for "Ted Poe")   Listen to Congressman Ted Poe's report from the Border.    It will frost you.

9.13  Religion & Politics -- Allan Dobras -- on the current interest in religion sparked by Mitt Romney's candidacy and Mormon religion. 

         Justice Joseph Story on American Minute --   Scroll to September 10, 2007. 

         Sanctuary Policy: Illegal Immigrants Killing Americans in their own Cities.....  

9.12  Young Muslims begin dangerous fight for right to abandon Islam  ---   YES!   YES!   YES!   This may be the beginning of a serious reformation in Islam.  Christians and truth-seekers everywhere MUST stand with these people.  They are affirming the first level of honest community life -- the right to freely pursue the truth - with respect for others doing the same.  That is the very basis of the American Constitution.  Such freedom can be sustained only if one's view of God sustains it.  No religion outside the Bible does so.  And thus the spirit of honest freedom will lead to the true God.  See "Four Levels of Christian Unity -- and the Way There   Pray for and support these people in any way you can!   E. Fox 

          Charlene Cothran - Editor-in-Chief of Venus Magazine -- out of homosexuality - "Folks, you hear a lot of bad news these days, but here’s some very good news: men and women are leaving homosexuality and living a life in line with God’s moral precepts — not in rebellion against them. Click this “700 Club” link to watch a wonderful video segment about how God drew Charlene Cothran OUT of the homosexual activist movement. Cothran, who went from “gay” activist to Christian evangelist, will be speaking at Americans For Truth’s banquet on Friday, October 5, in Lombard, Illinois, outside Chicago.  See below or click HERE for more details and how to sign up online."

          al-Qaida, Bush, and Mexican Borders --  Is our government engaged in high treason??? 

9.11  ** Texas et al vs. Mannatech  --  Two lawsuits against Mannatech and their flagship food supplement, Ambrotose, raise critical issues of law in America --  Law vs. Truth & Justice.   An example of why the Biblical form of civil government is superior to any other.  E. Fox.   

9.09  ** Four Levels of Christian Unity -- and the Way There --  E. Fox     How can Christians approach the disunity in the Church with hope of reunifying?  How can people anywhere successfully seek unity?  

9.06  Gay by Choice?  the Science of Sexual Identity ---  "If science proves sexual orientation is more fluid that we've been led to believe, can homosexuality still be a protected right?"  by Gary Greenberg  
        [Comment:  This article is mostly on target about sexual fluidity, but it has been known decades that sexual orientation is "fluid" -- at least in the sense that one can change homosexuality. 
        Up to the 1990's, everyone who dealt with sexuality, on both sides of the morality fence, including Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, John Money, said, "If you want to stop being homosexual, go ahead, that's your business.  Difficult, but possible."  Then in the '90's, homosexual advocates caught onto the idea that if homosexuality was "inborn", then people would feel sorry for you because you could not change.  It was a political scam, with no relationship to honest science.   
        Anything on Mother Jones is not likely to be Biblical-friendly, but if you can get past the cute jibes in various directions, there is a lot of interesting history, and some common sense about the fluidity of life, let alone sex.  The argument, sadly, gets lost in its own fluidity, the moral fluidity of pragmatism with no objective moral foundation.  But there is some helpful stuff there as well.   E. Fox] 

9.05  Website on Homosexual Health Issues --  Woody Walker 

         ** Putting Truth ahead of God  --  E. Fox

9.04  ** The Case Against Gene Robinson's Homosexuality --  E. Fox  --  Using the strategy which can win the debate...  If we have the grace and the gumption. 
 

AUGUST 2007

8.31  ** What do we Mean by a "Christian Nation"???   E. Fox   

         We, the People  --  fighting for the right to petition the government -- often denied by the government.  Support these folks, they are on the front lines in the struggle for the preservation of our Constitution and liberties under God. 

8.30  Socialized Medicine -- compare the anecdotes and the stats between fully  socialized (England, Canada) and half-socialized (US) medical care.  What are the results?    

8.29  Who is Allah?   Some wisdom about the use of a name, and the proper focus of our meetings with Muslims. 

8.28  American Minute -- history indicating Biblical foundations of America.   Geo. Washington, Jesus Christ, and the Cherokee Indians....   See cuts from previous editions. 

        Personality, Empiricism, & God -- Chapter IV now online.  Metaphysics is a good past time...!    :-) 

8.23  Declaring War on Straight America:  Big Mistake!  -- David Crowe at www.RestoreAmerica.org  Good news.   Some people are becoming proactive in defending Godly common sense. 

         The Continuing Collapse (of Education) -- Bruce Shortt again --

         Regent University Law Review -- very good articles on homosexuality and the law.        

8.21  Christianity is part of the Common Law --  wrote James Wilson in his lectures on law.  He was a founding father, member of Constitutional convention, Supreme Court judge, first law professor at U. of PA.

8.20  "Sanctuary Policy" Killing far more Americans in their own Cities than terrorists killing soldiers in Iraq  --  Frosty Wooldridge  
This astonishing fact MUST be shown all over the country.    It is not possible that our President and other leaders are ignorant of this.  They simply do not care.  If this is not treason, what else needs to be added to make it so?    This is worthy of impeachment -- at the very least.     E. Fox.  
                    MR. PRESIDENT --- CLOSE THE BORDERS AND DEPORT THE ILLEGALS -- OR RESIGN!!! 
        U.S. House Representative Newt Gingrich said, “There is a war here at home, and it is even more deadly than the
        war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Far more Americans are being killed by violent, evil people here in America than in
        our official military 'combat zones' overseas.”

8.18  The Real Roots of Poverty  --  Tom DeWeese - The DeWeese Report from The American Policy Center.   A superb (and short) lesson in economics, how poverty is sustained, and how it can be ended.  Much to do with security of private property. 
        Top-down government has probably killed more people than all other unnatural causes combined (see Death by Government).  It has also been a (if not "the") primary source of poverty worldwide.  On this same theme, read Rodney Stark's The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success.  High time we Christians got on the ball about our own faith!    

8.16   Hate Crime Law -- as happening in England.  What will Congress do to us?   See the video.... 

          Oklahoma and Arizona are cracking down with state legislation on illegal aliens -- because the Fed will not.  Thank God for common sense in those two states.  Pray for all concerned, including the aliens.  Pray for a spirit of truth, righteousness, and love, and of repentance on all sides. 

         Do Laws & Standards Evolve?  --  Douglas W. Phillips, Esq.    ---- Another superb discussion of Biblical law and its relation to morality.   

8.15   ** Church in Dallas pressured to allow memorial of a deceased to honor the homosexual lifestyle.  It refuses with extraordinary grace, but that does not deter the nastiness from homosexualists.  However, conservatives are being trapped in their own stupidity.  See article and links to original and to statement by the church.   E. Fox commentary. 

          ** Astonishing account of 800 martyrs at the hands of Islam --   800 men of Otranto, who knew how to die well --- Italy, 1480 AD, probably saving Rome (which was their target) from capture by the Muslims.    E. Fox commentary. 

          Quote of the Day - “Government cripples you, then hands you a crutch and says, 'See, if it wasn't for us, you couldn't walk.'” -- Harry Browne.   Benito Mussolini would be proud of our growing fascist welfare system.    From  http://www.DownsizeDC.org

          Patton on Prayer -- Prayer in the trenches -- from WW II.   And thoughts on prayer from one of the best generals. 

8.14   Roman Catholic school in England cannot sack homosexual headmaster....   Appalling, and coming to a neighborhood near you soon...   Why are our leaders so vapid, incompetent, and cowardly?  And how would you respond if you were the governing board for that school??? 

          Legal Status of Catholic Church in Spain Threatened --  over opposition to Mandatory Pro-Gay Citizenship Course.  I do not know the legal status of the RC Church in Spain, and maybe it should be changed, but to change it to stop criticism of the homosexual lifestyle is wrong, and suggests that the RC Church is not very adept at presenting its case to begin with -- as in the West almost universally.    E. Fox.  

          The Legal Jihad is already underway --  by Phyllis Chesler --  FrontPage Magazine.   This is scary stuff.  More evidence that the Globalists are using Islam.  Who else could get away with this treason and betrayal?  And where are the alleged moderate Muslims protesting this?   Globalists have successfully banned Christianity from the public arena, and are using Islam as a club to beat what remains of of a cowardly-apathetic-consumerist Christianity.  They are scared to death of a Biblical renewal.  (They must be watching China, where Christians have been winning against the full pressure of Chinese Communism, or what if left of it.)    E. Fox. 

8.13   Illegal immigrants protesting enforcement of illegal alien laws (!!!)   See the 14 + reasons below.....  

8.11   14 (Plus) Reasons to deport Illegal Aliens ---  An astonishing (& damning) array facts & figures.  (And a personal, nearly lethal, story.) 

          Welcome to the Continuing Collapse - #3   (of govt. "education").    Bruce Shortt --

8.10   Bush removes National Guard from Mexican Border...  Chris Simcox -- on border situation.   Simcox is head of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (of which I am an active member ...  E. Fox) 

          The New Paganism and the Culture of Death: "False gods always demand innocent blood"  --  at Virtue Online

8.09   Bad News for the "Gay" Rights Movement...   at Family Taxpayers' Network -- 

          Court affirms Church's Right to Discipline Members...  & thus supports legitimate separation of Church & State.  A SUPERB PIECE ON BIBLICAL GOVERNMENT IN AN HONESTLY PLURALISTIC SOCIETY.  

8.07  Excitement Deprives Children....   Dennis Prager 

         Homosexual advocates are brainwashing our children in elementary schools  --  watch the videos.  Homosexuality is provably a compulsive, lethal addiction.  Yet we allow such abuse of our children to go on because we are apathetic, ignorant, and consumer oriented.   Time to wake up, folks.   If you willingly keep your children in government schools, you are betraying your children and the Lord. 

8.06  Christianity Sparks China's New Cultural Revolution --  Orlando Sentinel --

         IRS Loses Challenge to Prove Tax Liability via 1040...   

         The Muslim Brotherhood Project --   On the Muslim "Project" to dominate the world. 

         Stare Decisis -- Maybe not what you have been led to think...

         True vs. False Militia - & Why It Matters...   Edwin Vieira  --  an excellent 3-part discussion.  READ IT.  And, if you value America and honest freedom -- act.    Vieira misses the necessity of God being the Supreme ruler over all things.  His respect for constitutional order will not survive the loss of God, who is the only Supreme Ruler, and from whom all authority flows.   See William Blackstone, British juror on this, and also Defining 'Oughtness' & 'Love', the defense of the notion that all morality, and thus all political authority, flows from God.  Either Jesus is Lord, or civil government will be lord.  Take your pick.   Read Vieira's other articles.  He is the only person I know of who is actively promoting the return of the Constitutional Militia. 

         Harry's Last Battles & Rowling's Beliefs...   Berit Kjos.   I have read none of Harry's battles, but I do respect Berit Kjos.  Whether she is on target here, I am not sure.  But worth reading.  It is clear to me that C. S. Lewis had the better of his argument with Tolkein, Lewis insisting that one should make his spiritual commitments reasonably clear through his writing, Tolkein saying that it should just come through the story.  Sadly, Tolkein's powerful writing was picked up more by pagans, leading to the Dungeons and Dragons genre much more than to Biblical themes.  (What would Tolkein say if he knew?)  I think the Christian meaning of The Lord of the Rings is somewhat debatable.  A bit too hidden.  I suspect the same of Rowling.

Fox] 

                        "Without allowing members to vote on the matter, the executive committee of the National Education Association (NEA) decided to advance aggressively the homosexual agenda.  The decision was made at the association's annual meeting in Philadelphia.   First, the committee voted to put the weight of the NEA behind an effort to pass federal hate crimes legislation, a measure that would greatly expand federal power and lead to the silencing of moral opposition.    Second, the executive committee voted to boost the NEA's Web site to "include all resources" devoted to homosexual causes.   The third resolution urged NEA members to push to make sexual orientation training a requirement for earning a license to teach."

        The Goddesses 'R Us -- Old Product, New Package --  Debra Rae does a very good job discussing feminism and the perennial pagan goddess Gaia worship which fills the vacuum when Judeo-Christian religion falls on its face.  She actually quotes the Bible intelligently, and believes in the sovereignty of God over all things.  And she does not pull punches.  Amazing.  There are 4 parts, well worth reading.  See also Worldview Library, especially the comparisons between the Biblical and the "Perennial" worldviews.  The bottom foundation of all paganism is the Great Mother.  

                        We are watching the end of Western civilization, and a Fall back into a pre-Christian Dark Age, i.e., paganism.   By the time Christians wake up, we may well be already under the tyranny inherent to such a view.  If you doubt the "tyranny" part, read the article...   Do not send your child to any government (public) school, nor to about 95% of all the colleges and universities, which have become enemies of the cross of Christ and promoters of self-centeredness.   There is no religion which can sustain a free people, a free commerce, and a free government other than Biblical religion.   So wake up, Christians.    E. Fox

        San Diego School Bows to Sharia Law --  If we do not name the real enemy (not Islam), we Christians will find ourselves at the bottom rung of a pyramid of tyranny.  The Globalists are using the Muslims to beat Judeo-Christians.  The Muslim culture is far too dysfunctional, corrupt, and self-centered to carry out its alleged world domination.  They could accomplish what they have only with the support and help of Globalist money and strategy.   The Globalists are not themselves Muslim-friendly, so why would they promote Islam other than to torpedo the Biblical hold on America? 
          In that sense, I do believe that some of our own people (the Globalist shadow government) indeed helped promote 9-11.   As with the Waco disaster, the Oklahoma City bombing, and other such events, there remains too many unanswered questions, questions which are refused an honest answer.   We can no longer trust anything our government does without independent verification.

7.27   Marijuana and Mental Illness -- two articles
     http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291043,00.html
Study:  Even Infrequent Use of Marijuana Increases Risk of Psychosis by 40%
     http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=471106&in_page_id=1770&ct=5
Smoking Just One Cannabis Joint Raises Danger of Mental Illness by 40%  
     My view of illegal drugs is that we are incapable of making people be nice to themselves.  As with alcohol, we ought to protect children and throw the book at drug dealers to children.  But until we raise our children with the warning that -- "into adulthood, you are on your own, and will suffer, or rejoice in, the consequences of your behavior" -- we will never have a mature, adult population.  As with homosexuality, we are convinced that the Magic of Science + Govt. Nanny = salvation from all consequences.  Pass another law, appoint another committee... 
     Drug laws only create a huge and lucrative black-market drug trade, the war against which we will never win --- not until we preach moral responsibility and rugged independence again.  Under the law and grace of God. 
     The politicians and police themselves are too often a part of the problem to be enforcers of drug laws.  We must again take responsibility for our own lives, and raise children that way.  We will have much healthier children and much less drug trade.  Christian history has proven that over and over again.      E. Fox.

          ** America's Second Army -- the 2nd Amendment and the militia of the War of 1812. 

          ** William Blackstone on the Nature of English Law -- based on principle that all law comes from God (see Romans 13:1).  That was a principle well understood by all the American founding fathers and by the people of the land.   E. Fox comment. 

          When all the forces of Sai Nippon surrendered to the Allies aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay, Douglas MacArthur spoke these words which were beamed to the American homeland.  They are not as famous as "I shall return," the  "Old soldiers never speak to Congress," or the "Duty, honor, country" motif of his final address at West Point -- but they are relevant nevertheless to us today: 
     "Men since the beginning of time have sought peace, but military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations, all in turned failed, leaving only the path to be by the way of the crucible of war...  We have had our last chance.  If we do not now devise some greater and more equitable system, Amageddon will be at our door.  The problem is basically theological and invokes a spiritual recrudescence...  It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh." 

                   The answer is a person -- Jesus Christ, not a more equitable system.   Only the living God can turn us around.  We will never do it ourselves -- a logical impossibility.  If we do not get an understanding of the logic of being dependent persons, we will probably not see the sense of submitting ourselves to the law and grace of God.  A dependent person, by definition, cannot save himself.  He must find that upon which he can safely depend.  Besides God, there is no other choice.

Here is the leader's story in his own words...  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56487 

         Honoring God & the Ten Commandments - Pamphlet (pdf) from the Family Research Council by Justice Antonin Scalia.  We have been betrayed by our politicians.  The scuttling of our religious heritage is also the scuttling of our political freedoms.  As the Declaration of Independence accurately implies, either our freedoms come from God, or they do not come at all.
        Scalia gets a good start in his argument defending religion in public life,  but the case can be carried much more deeply and decisively.  See the Constitution Library, especially the Biblical Government and related sections.   See also Defining 'Oughtness' & 'Love', the argument that without God there is no morality, and thus no political authority.   The only law is the law of God - a view widely held in England and America at the time of the revolution. 
        That means that the acts of the Court were direct violation of our Constitution which they swore to defend.  On the battle field, that kind of behavior is treason and can bring the death penalty.  It is no different on the Court bench.  If the persons on that Court do not know how to support and defend the Constitution, they either should get off the bench or be subject to the most severe penalties.  They have succeeded in what all the wars of our history could not accomplish (with the partial exception of the war between the states), the destruction of our Constitution. 
        Either we Americans wake up to our own Biblical heritage and discipline our politicians, or we will continue to become increasingly slaves on our government plantation, no longer people who choose their own rulers, no longer the primary officers of state.

         The Misery of Diversity -- by Ilana Mercer -- Worldnet Daily  --  "When an academic discovers what ordinary mortals have known for eons, it's called science.  Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam has found that diversity is not a strength, but a weakness; the greater the diversity in a community, the greater the distrust. Professor Putnam's five-year study was reported last year by the Financial Times and is finally percolating down to others in the media and blogosphere."   See Pluralism in the Constitution Library, and Multiculturalism does not make Vibrant Communities, but Defensive Ones

6.27  ** Back in the Saddle Again....   These last two weeks have been "interesting".  Both my car and computer crashed (so to speak).  My car had to have the transmission rebuilt.  The runaround to get the right diagnosis, and then the right folks to fix it was something of a test of my good character.  And then my hard drive crashed, so I have been rebuilding my whole system, backing up the whole hard drive as I went so that I will now have an instant rebuilt system anytime the next crash comes -- something I have been planning to get ready for over a year.  At best that rebuilding, reinstalling all the software and hardware on a new drive, takes two full days, but with complications, it was about ten days.  With the backup it will take half an hour... 
        To be fair to myself, that ten days included three away at the Mexican border with the Minutemen.   At any rate, the Lord keeps reminding me that He has me right where I need to be to do my growing.  Deo gratia!  It really is a growing experience.  And the Lord keeps proving to my doubting mind and heart that there is no better way to live than with Him.  None at all, not even close.    E.

                    The Reformation, largely Calvinist, theology which America inherited and which stood us in pretty good stead up through the end of the 1700's collapsed over the 1800's under the attacks of the secularized Enlightenment.  So (about two centuries late) we need to get down to the business of helping supply the world with a reformulation of Biblical theology which can stand up unashamed in the public arena -- i.e., with intellectual, moral, and spiritual credibility.    Personality, Empiricism, & God just below is the foundation for doing that, a refurbishing of the cosmological argument for God, and applying that to a whole raft of current issues.

4.21  First Things -- James Hitchcock on "The Enemies of Religious Liberty"  --  Can you give a good answer to the dilemma Hitchcock describes?  How can we combine realistically the use of coercive force (which is what government is) and genuine freedom?  How can we maintain a freemarket of ideas, religious freedom, and a stable society all at the same time?  Is there a built-in conflict between religion and freedom, as some "liberals" are claiming today?  And how do we Judeo-Christians respond?    

        A Culture of Passivity -- "Protecting" our "children"... at VA Tech...   Mark Steyn. 

4:13  Oregon 'Gay'-rights bill lets court define church's 'purpose'  --  "Well, no -- It won't happen here." 

                    The homosexual agenda and lifestyle is inherently tyrannical.  Any lifestyle based on feeling rather than fact and logic, rather than on reason, rather than on a willingness to submit one's views to open public debate, is inherently tyrannical.  It will always, in the end, fall back on its own infallibility.  It does NOT believe in inclusiveness nor in openness nor in love or compassion.  It talks about those things only so long as it is not in power -- to get its opponents to be nice to it.  But once in power, it shows its true colors.  It makes laws not only enforcing its views (which is what all laws do), but shutting down the discussion about which laws will be made.  That is the mark of tyranny.  It is too sure of its own righteousness to bother with such irrelevancies as honest discussion.  It does not believe that it is in need of, or obligated to promote, honest public discussion.  It just wants it way. 

                    The Church is getting what it all too often promoted from its own side.  The Church has gained the reputation of being intellectually and morally corrupt.  I have said, ad nauseum, and will continue to say it until we get the point, that Christians have been the primary cause of our own dilemma, that we lost our own credibility through our own intellectual and moral cowardice, through our own manipulation of public policy.  There have been Christians who have been faithful truth-seekers, but that is for sure not our reputation among the people.  Until we are willing to be truth-seekers and truth-speakers at any cost to ourselves, we do not deserve to get back any credibility.  The very idea scares the daylights out of most people, including, emphatically, clergy.  We need better leadership than that. 

                    I predict a day coming when Christians will wake up, a day when evangelism will be an open and honest part of public debate and discussion, a day when Christians will once again be known for fairness and honesty in discussion, known for promoting a level playing field in civil government, and in all matters affecting public policy.  But that will take deep changes among Christians, not first among pagans or secular folks.  The deep changes in the pagan and secular folks will happen when they see the changes in us Christians -- which only the grace of God can produce.  It is time we stopped whining about those nasty secular and pagan folks, and started following Jesus. 

4.12  Roman Catholic "Back to Basics"?  news of a retrenchment by the Pope.  The author of the article seems to believe that getting back to the good old days is the way to a healthy Church.  Not the case.  Returning to the old Mass and other decorative changes may be more about comfort seeking than about spiritual renewal, and will have little effect if four things of substance do not also happen: 
        (1) Christians regain their intellectual credibility, (2) Christians learn how to articulate and defend the Biblical worldview, (3) Christians learn how to interpret the Bible in public with reason and grace, and
(4) Christians learn how to die well.   

                    These four steps will put you well on your way to becoming a spiritual warrior who can stand face to face with the the world presenting Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

                    Properly understood, the Mass or the Holy Communion is indeed all about learning how to die a successful death, but it is a terrible error to think that changing the liturgy will itself have a deep effect.  The RC Church had that Latin, ultra-conservative liturgy all through the 19th and most of the 20th century.  Those were the years that the whole of Christendom was collapsing into its present state of infighting and other self-destructive behaviors, not thriving. 

4.11  The Health Risks of "Gay" Sex -- John Diggs, MD  Paper version... (Click for pdf reader if you need it.)  

                    For a speech by Dr. Diggs giving this same information.... Listen to it HERE. (Length: 32 minutes)   The speech was given at Tufts University, one of the most pro-homosexual colleges in America, on October 27, 2004.  They were required to hire four police officers to protect the speakers before they could put it on.  What does that say about the "inclusiveness" and the "compassion" and the desire for truth of the homosexual movement? 

                    God bless Dr. Diggs, who is ringing the bell on the cowardice and anti-science of the American Medical, Psychological, and Psychiatric Associations.   I had listed this paper some time ago, but here it is again, along with the speech at Tufts University. 

                    This kind of deception does not happen by accident.  Powerful forces want this to happen, and it is not the homosexual lobby -- who are only tools for those who want the destruction of our Judeo-Christian civilization.  Total destruction.  They are the secular globalists.
