Two Things...

First...

William "Bill" Ayers, radical-Self-Proclaimed Terrorist who said he was not sorry for his terrorist acts against this nation, who also introduced Barack Obama to the Chicago Political scene and served on civic boards with him in Obama's early career days.... is also a Self-Proclaimed Marxist. These are not opinions. These are things widely and publicly known to be true. Audio tapes and published accounts of these activities are well documented.

Who was Karl Marx - the father of Communism. I found this information from http://www.wikepedia.org/:

" Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), often referred to as The Communist Manifesto, was first published on February 21, 1848, and is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to overthrow the bourgeois social order and to eventually bring about a classless and stateless society, and the abolition of private property."

Karl Marx is quoted as saying "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

In other words, from those who have we will collect and from those who have not we will distribute. Sound familiar? The basis of the Obama Tax Plan, the basis of European and Western Culture Socialism and the foundation of the Communist Movement in Russia found throughout the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx.

When you research communism and Karl Marx at Wikepedia you will find that one of the forms of Marxist Theology (Theology and Religion was one of the things that Karl Marx significantly opposed) you will find "Black Liberation Theology." Do a google search on Black Liberation Theology and see whose names pop up... There are some serious issues that are not being addressed in this election. We need to be reading about William Ayers, Karl Marx, Barack Obama, Reverend Wright and the many others who are supporting this type of "Change" which will completely destroy the principles and the foundations this great country flourished under and was founded on. Principles that fostered favor and prosperity for more than 200 years and is now being trampled on as outdated and illegal. For a relevant bit on Black Liberation Theology click this link: Fox News Jeremiah Wright Interview these are not my words...

Please consider the weight of the words of the Communist Manifesto, the weight of Black Liberation Theology being linked to Marxist thinking and the promises that Senator Obama is making. Is the truth behind this man's politics that he is authentically a Christian who follows or serves Christ and seeks Him in every way? If it is and he has a teachable spirit and a humble heart, I could support him for president... But, if it is true - I have not seen its fruit. Not in his eloquently spoken words or his expensive advertisements. I have not seen anything but a man building a monument unto himself. A man building and shaping "New Speak" that leads us to believe the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. What is Democracy? What does it mean to be a Democrat? Not by modern political definitions, but by the definition that existed before New Speak began to roll onto the scene. What is a Republic? What does it mean to be a Republican? Not by modern political definitions, but by the definition that existed before New Speak began to roll on the scene. What kind of Governmental System do we have? Why did the founding fathers choose this form of government? And how would they view taxes? Considering their Constitution had to be amended in order for federal taxes to be rendered unto the people.

George Orwell was dead on... 1984 may have been some 24 years too early, but we are living in a culture of New Speak, of New Morals, and it is a place where the government "AKA BIG BROTHER" is watching, monitoring and controlling and they are disguising it in speeches about FREEDOM - what ever happened to a government of the people, for the people and by the people... A government that is ruled by a Constitution of law and not the suits who twist it to fit their own agendas, purposes and goals. A government with built in checks and balances run amuck is what we have... and it is lying to us. When will we actually demand that they all stop... when?

The second thing is... my review of the movie "W." Oliver Stone's supposed objective movie about our sitting President. Of all the things I could say... this is all I am willing to offer.

By way of review I have two words:

DISAPPOINTING

DISRESPECTFUL

My Recommendation: Don't see it - Josh Brolin's portrayal of the President is an SNL type satire pose and is purely defaming. Dare I say it again, Disrespectful.

Right wrong or indifferent - for the sheer courage it takes for President Bush to rise everyday and face the world that we currently live in. For him to openly acknowledge, pray to and embrace God as his personal source of hope, power and inspiration much less Salvation as a man who holds the highest office in this nation is no small thing. I would rather have a President who prays and makes decisions based on his relationship with God over a President who makes his decisions based on the public polls, the way the wind is blowing... Who will talk the talk to us in our own language without honoring the values and the truth that resonates when he speaks those words.

In Prayer, I must come to terms with what God tells me to do in this election. Each of us must vote and make our decision. It is not our right or privilege - it is our responsibility.

Righteousness, dignity and grace must be restored to this nation and it must begin with us. We must live it and demand it for it to become a prevailing mark of this society once again. Please pray for President Bush and his family, please pray for Senator Mc Cain and his family as well as Governor Palin and her family. Please also... Humbly pray and intercede for Senator Obama and his family and Senator Biden and his family. Pray for your representatives in congress and at the state government levels and pray for these coming elections. Pray also for righteousness, humility and justice to be restored to our government offices at every level. For these offices to be held by God honoring, God fearing and God serving men and women who will put God first and align their priorities according to His will and seek His Wisdom as Solomon did. Restoration, Redemption and Truth. May they always prevail and may God have mercy on our country, our families and our lives.

"Holiness, Holiness is what we long for, Holiness is what we need. It's what we need from YOU."

Closing Thought: Now, let me ask you where Communism got the citizens of Russia and its Soviet Union before the Wall and Iron Curtain came down. Remember when they burned their money for heat and were trading cranberry coupons because their economy went DEFUNCT. Where has it gotten the citizens of China, North Korea, North Vietnam, Cuba and ... Well - you name the other communist countries and examine who has the power, who benefits and who pays. China... The People's Republic of China whose government shoot it's citizens in the street.

Do we really want to live that way? Think it over and VOTE. Pray over the Chapters of the book of Joel. Pray that those "mulitudes who come to the valley of decision" will come and make a righteous decision and that God's Will would be accomplished and His name exalted above all else.

"The vats are overflowing for their wickedness is great..." The Lord come down, have mercy on Your land and pity for Your people. Hear our cry, come heal our land. We need You Lord. We need You Lord. I thank You that You hear our prayer, that You have already provided the answer and we HAVE CONFIDENCE that nothing in our lives depends on the things of this world but on the God who created this world and rules on the throne of the Ancient of Days. Your ways are just, Your actions are Sovereign and Your will is always right. May Your Name Be Praised as we see Your Spirit pour forth on the generations and Revival come to this nation, its people and especially Your church. LORD... Come down and meet with us in our hour of need. We repent of our denial and apathy and our unwillingness to take a stand and make a name for You. We repent and we confess You are the Lord and our only Hope.

Blessings and honor, Glory and Power are Yours Oh Lord, Forever and Ever Amen. Thank you for hearing our cry tonight.
