Bumper Stickers

It's been my observation that when someone has 4 or more bumper stickers on their vehicle, there is usually some contradiction going on. On the way home from the park yesterday we saw this, and I just had to post it. It is a Clif Bar pick up truck that runs on BioDiesel. I know this because it proudly says running on BioDiesel all over the truck. It also has a bumper sticker which says 'No Farms No Food.'


Maybe I'm the only one who finds this funny, but running a vehicle on fuel that essentially gets rid of farms and having a bumper sticker that says 'No Farms No Food' is pretty darn humorous. Maybe they only want to take away the farms that fuel their truck. Or, (conspiracy theory here) maybe Clif wants to destroy our regular food supply so that we will have to subsist on nothing but Clif Bars. ;) The only farms left will be used to make their lovely bars. (I'm partial to the Oatmeal Raisin one) Now I understand that they could possibly be running this vehicle simply on waste oil from McDonalds. (Or any other restaurant) However, widespread use of biodiesel would cause further food shortages such as is being seen due to the increase in ethanol usage. It seems like a good idea, until you start having riots in third world countries and you have food and fuel prices skyrocketing here in America.

Planned Parenthood

I heard about this on Laura Ingraham's show. It is pretty disturbing.



Where are the Democrats on this. Where is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson? Where is Barack Obama? Where is the Mainstream Media?

Oprah's Church

"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. (2Timothy 4:1-5)


I'm going to start this by saying that I respect Oprah on many levels. She is one of the few liberals who actually does a lot to give back. She backs up what she believes in by using what she has worked hard for to give back to those who are less fortunate. However, I have to disagree with this. My wife found out about her 'church' and brought it to my attention.




It is no church at all really, but teachings of YOU being God. I really try to tell myself that the times we are living in aren't the literal last days. I know that in God's mind it has been the last days since Jesus was on the earth. But it almost seems like the end will be soon. I know it could be in 10,000 years, but it could be tomorrow. Times are getting scary. America is the last best hope for the world, but it is crumbling internally. Our 'culture' is trying to destroy God. If we make ourselves out to be God, there will be no moral law left. If we are God, who is to stop us from doing whatever we want?


The concept is ridiculous really. If we are God, then how did the universe come to be? Is the universe and all of its perfection the result of an accident? The number of accidents necessary for life to exist on earth are just unimaginable. It has been compared to shooting an arrow at a target on the other side of the universe, and hitting the target...blindfolded. It's quite simply not possible without God. If there is no God, then what was happening before the Big Bang? Was all matter in the entire universe being contained in a tiny speck the size of an atom with nothing to hold it together? Then for some reason it is released and it forms a system that has order and physical laws that can't be broken? (except by the Writer of the laws) If you examine the world around you and the universe, the only logical conclusion is that it was created by God. A God who loves every person, even those who don't love Him. In fact, it is preposterous to believe that it happened by accident.

Oprah comments in the video that she didn't like her preacher when she was 27 or 28 saying that God is a jealous God. Well, yes Oprah, God is a jealous God, but you need to understand the context of when God says this, and what He is referring to. He is not jealous of YOU. He is jealous of other gods. All of the scriptures that refer to God being a jealous God refer to Him being jealous of idols and other gods, not men. (or women) Look how much God loves you. He created everything in the Universe, and the things in this world that are special to you so that you would see how much He loves you. When you worship other gods, He becomes jealous of that. He wants your love in return, and He deserves it.

Who's out of touch?

I saw this video on Stan Rosenthal's blog, http://tbsn.thesequencers.us/ and he got it from some other blog. Here is my initial feelings upon listening to Barack Obama's explanation of his statements.

Senator Obama,

YOU are out of touch. You talk about the politicization of your words...you're a politician, duh. Your words are going to be politicized. However your pastor, and spiritual mentor, politicizes the gospel. You defend his politicization of the Bible, yet you don't think it's right that your words as a United States Senator who is running for President of the United States ought to be scrutinized politically?

You bash the Bush tax cuts which helped ALL Americans, not just the wealthy. (of which you are a member Mr. Obama) You're against tax cuts, yet high taxes are destroying and have been destroying the industries in the Midwest sending manufacturing jobs overseas. This is where you are focusing your campaign, yet you are out of touch with the root causes of their job losses, and miserable economy. Either you are out of touch or you don't care. Those middle class, blue collar voters you insulted don't need you to patronize them with your half-hearted attempt at an apology. Give a REAL apology. Tell them that you're sorry that you said what you said. Say you didn't mean it the way it came out and that's it. Don't use it as a lead in to attack your political opponents.

You claim that your opponents are out of touch. But where President Bush, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and 98% of congress is out of touch is that most Americans DON'T want higher taxes. They don't want our borders wide open, they don't want a $60 billion trade deficit. They don't want to see a $400 billion budget deficit when the US treasury is taking in record revenues, and they don't want us to lose a war that was started by Radical Islam and that is of vital interest to US national security.

The American people want to see spending reduced. They want government out of our lives, they want borders protected, they want to stop seeing our jobs outsourced and they want to defeat the terrorists and see democracy flourish in the Middle East. They don't want the first amendment minimized to protect all religions except Christianity. They don't want to see freedom of speech impinged upon when it comes to Radical Islam and in our schools and universities.

The American people want real alternative fuels and they want us to use the oil we have in America. Maybe if we weren't importing so much oil from Mexico, we could close off our borders. Maybe then, Americans would get paid enough to do those jobs that 'Americans won't do'. But you and politicians like you don't actually want real solutions do you Senator? You claim to be the candidate of 'Hope', yet you tell young blacks that you attained your wealth and position due to luck. No, you got it by hard work. But you want power, and you want to take care of the people who helped you attain that power. Telling Democrats that they can make it without the government won't keep the votes coming in long term will it? No Senator, you are out of touch. Stop attacking hard working Americans and make a real effort to get in touch.

Expelled: The First Amendment

I have recently been hearing about a documentary by Ben Stein called 'Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed'. It focuses on how Darwinian Evolution is being taught as fact, and dissension by people who even want to discuss the POSSIBILITY of creation are silenced, run out of universities and trampled by their 'peers'. It's amazing that college used to teach people how to think, now it teaches people what to think, and what it is teaching is in most cases far-left doctrine. The trailer mentions how the greatest minds in science, from Galileo to Einstein and even Darwin operated with some belief in a creator. It is hard to believe that the universe was not created, given the mathematical precision required for the universe to exist as it does.

But Darwinian Evolution as is taught in schools, silences all dissenting views, (much like climate change) and threatens dissenters with firing, failing, criticism and ridicule, all to promote a secular progressive agenda, eroding free speech. What is sad is that the argument FOR Darwinian Evolution has MANY holes in it. It is shaky at best, unlikely and in many cases unbelievable. Yet most of those who believe in creation, do not want to silence those who believe in evolution. In fact many believe (as I do) that evolution has had a significant effect on life as we know it today. Without evolution, plants, animals and microorganisms would not be able to adapt to an ever-changing planet. I believe that not only are the organisms evolving, but so is the planet, the solar system and the universe. I see it as part of an incredibly designed system. God knows what He is doing.

"This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself" (Isaiah 44:24)

God created all things, and if you don't believe that, it is your right to disagree here in the United States of America. However, those who disagree with me, DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to silence anyone. You can disagree, that is what America is about. America is about freedom. Let's stop being like those dictatorships that we have been fighting for hundreds of years, and start standing up for freedom again. Let's stand up for our own freedoms, AND the freedoms of those we disagree with.
