Jim Wallis is a Liberal, Progressive, Humanist, masquerading as a Christian. His theological views decry his pedigree: that of a Christian Pastor.
Jim Wallis founded and edits the leftwing "Christian" magazine: Sojourners. He is a Democratic Party Operative, an apologist for communist atrocities in Cambodia and Vietnam, a dedicated foe of capitalism and uses The Bible to call for large central government aid to the poor, according to www.discoverthenetworks.org.
Jim Wallis embraces the Occupy Wall Street crowd, insisting they are the 99% who stand with Jesus. In a recent speech Wallis said 'American exceptionalism is a heresy. It's not true and it's very dangerous." [Lifetree Cafe]
American exceptionalism is the notion and worldview that the U.S., as a nation, is unique in its creation and accomplishments.
So the question is: Who's Right? Who's Wrong?
Consider these realities and tell me what nation in the history of mankind compares favorably with the U.S.
Settled by men and women escaping from religious persecution, seeking a land where they could worship in peace.
Settlers, many of whom, came with the expressed purpose of evangelizing the native inhabitants.
Establishing a government respective of the individual rights of it's citizens.
Establishing a nation where The Law is King -- no one is above the law.
A currency established upon the biblical principle of a 'just weight and measure.'
Judges who wear clerical garb
Laws rooted in The Bible and English Common Law: Marriage, Divorce, Fornication, Sodomy and 'Blue Laws'
Legal oaths taken on the Bible
A preamble to the Constitution that recognizes our God-given existence and rights
A Bill of Rights that first establishes the right of religious speech and gatherings
Chaplains and prayers offered in the Halls of Congress
Bibles distributed to soldiers during the Revolutionary War, BY THE CONGRESS!
Reverence for the dead -- rather than burning their bodies
Tax exemption for Churches and religious organizations.
Where in all the world do you find such a country? Where in all the world do you find a country that has accomplished as much and given as much to the world and to mankind than these United States of America?
Exceptional? Look up the word in your dictionary. It will show you a picture of this country!
The Progressives have hijacked our culture and want to throw our history down the 'memory hole.' They use hyberbole and caricatures to do it. Is / Was America a Christian Nation? No! Was America founded on biblical principles? Yes! Is our exceptionalism rooted in our founding principles? Yes!
The Jim Wallis's of this world consider American Exceptionalism racist and intolerant. Americans consider it our heritage and we're proud of it!
That we are not what we once were. That we have a lot to answer for. That we didn't always do right or do it in the right way, is a testimony to mans' natural tendencies. But history will record that Americans tried.
Don't let the Jim Wallis's of this world take that away from us.

Rush Is Right
This week, Rush Limbaugh went after the young law student at Georgetown University for arguing for government healthcare coverage that includes contraception. Sandra Fluke was the only witness called by the House Policy Committee to testify. Some called this a 'Pretend Committee,' because it seemed to be an excuse simply to have her testify. Rep. Pelosi, Chairwoman of the Committee, called Ms. Fluke to testify because she was not permitted to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, last week. Those who did testify were all men!
Ms Fluke identified herself as a Reproductive Rights Advocate and proceeded to complain that Georgetown University's Health Care Policy did not include contraception and how this puts a strain on female students. She indicated that during her term as a law student, she will have to spend 3 thousand dollars on contraception. In her economy, this is not health care.
Rush proceeded to denounce Ms. Fluke and equate coverage for contraception with pimping. To say that his statements / tirades were over the top, is quite an understatement! It is the reason some of us are not listening as often or as closely as perhaps we once did. There doesn't seem to be much of a limitation to what Rush says, anymore.
Rush is right, of course! Not that the public is pimping for women who get contraceptive coverage from government healthcare, but that the idea of contraceptive coverage as an inalienable right. The issue is whether or not the public is responsible to make it safe for people to enjoy recreational sex.
Keep in mind the idea of 'contraception' includes not only the 'morning after pill' but abortion. Of course, it hasn't actually reached that point, yet, but we all know that's where it's going. The President changed the debate, a few weeks ago, from abortion to contraception in order to stimulate just this sort of controversy. He called Ms. Fluke the day after her testimony to encourage her.
Sandra Fluke is an Activist. She admitted to enrolling in Georgetown University BECAUSE the Healthcare Policy did NOT include contraception coverage. Her goal is to change that policy, for Georgetown and for the country if she can. With Rush's crude commentary and consequent defense, Ms Fluke wins! She is a sympathetic figure, being picked on by a bully.
I believe Thomas Sowell's commentary, this week, sums it up: "The election in November will not be just another election, the stakes add up to far more than the sum of the individual issues." The issue is the survival of this country as a Democratic Republic, based on Individual Rights / Responsibilities and a Market-Based Economy.
It is the Judeo-Christian ethic that gave birth to this nation and has sustained it for over 230 years. That we now have a President and Administration that routinely ignores the Constitution and Legal Constraint, in order to fashion their own vision of America, while little or nothing is done to stop them, surely must show us how delicate the balance has become.
That more and more Americans reject this last paragraph as ludicrous and representative of a false view of history, is testimony to the success of Modern American Education and The Liberal Media, over the last 80 years. Our Anglo-saxon, Christian way of life is under serious attack.
A political solution, however, is NOT the answer, although it would slow things down. God is apparently not withholding the evil He once did. Even within Christianity, error is now unassailable truth. This can only mean The End is near. [I Tim. 4]

The Most Important Question You Can Ask
Last week on the MSNBC program: Morning Joe, noted Theologian Willie Geist asked Franklin Graham whether he thought Mitt Romney was a Christian. He went on to ask about Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and President Obama. Then he assailed Graham with outrage at his presumption.
Christians line up on both sides of this issue. Most taking the same position that Willie does: We should not be judging whether or not someone is a Christian!
What's your opinion? Keep in mind Graham did not come on the show to state his opinion about anyone's salvation. He was asked a pointed, specific question: Do you think Mitt Romney is a Christian? It was in answering this question that the fireworks began. It is a clear 'set-up' in order to discredit anyone who makes a determination. The same thing is done with the issue of homosexuality.
Can I suggest to you that, while we should not go around pointing out who is or who isn't a Christian [in our view], the question is probably the most important question you could ask.
What's more important than a person's eternal destiny? It may be judgmental to assault people with our opinion on this issue, but it is certainly NOT a wrong question to ask or answer. Too many are masquerading as Christians while the rest of us are cowering in the bushes because of the Willie Geists or the Laurence O'Donnells of this world [He delivered a hateful commentary on Franklin Graham, last week. as well].
I want to know if my family is saved, don't you? I want to know who in my church is saved and who isn't, don't you? I want to know my friends and neighbors are going to be in heaven, don't you? How will you know if you don't ask? How will you make your determination if you don't watch and judge?
You see someone in church or someone claiming to be a Christian, but nothing about their public life agrees with their claim. Do you ignore it? Do you assume their heart is right when their mouth isn't? The reality is: we ALL make judgments about people, everyday. We know people we don't trust. We know people we avoid because they are hateful. We just don't go around telling them they're untrustworthy, etc.?
However, if one of your children were interested in purchasing a car from someone you know to be untrustworthy, would you not warn them? In so doing, would you be concerned that this is judgmental?
Why, then, is it so wrong in Christian circles? How do you pray for someone if you assume they're saved, but in reality there is nothing in their life or manner that supports your assumption? Church membership is based on salvation. Prayer is based on salvation. Marriages are based on salvation. But we can't make any judgments?

What Point Did John Boehner Miss?
Those on the Left, as well as those who are simply selfish, constantly harp on the idea that America was never founded on Christian principles, let alone established a 'Christian Nation.'
They are myopic and selective in their view of history. They assume the designator "Christian Nation" means we adopted some sort of Theocracy, when all it really means is we based our laws, government and social institutions on biblical principles.
Was it a Christian thing to just take land away from Native Americans, even though they insisted the land belonged to no one?
Was it a Christian thing to annex Texas, simply because there were so many non-Mexicans living there and the Mexican government was corrupt?
Was it a Christian thing to institute a National Income Tax? Or a National Social Security Administration? Or the Keynesian economic policy that allowed FDR to create the Works Project Administration? Or a Federal Education System, based on the ideas and goals of a Humanistic Psychologist who wanted to indoctrinate our children with anti-Christian, anti-God concepts? Or taking us off the gold standard so the value of money could be floated to meet whatever need might arise?
Was it a Christian thing to take this country to war without the approval of Congress, not once, but five (5) times -- conservatively speaking -- ? Or to create, out of thin air, all sorts of agencies and 'czars' to make sure the pet goals of one President or another might be met? Or to flaunt the laws of the land for political gain?
NO! But men are prone to wanting their own way and often find ways to circumvent law in order to accomplish it. The shame is on those who let them do it.
Those who seek to restore America to her biblical roots are not trying to establish a rigid Theocracy. We simply want to restore the values, principles and laws upon which this nation was built and by which she became the strongest and most productive nation the world has ever seen.
The forces of evil in this world want to destroy The Family, Our Children, The Moral Fiber of our citizens, Our Laws and our Economic Base. Just look at what gets funded or supported and what gets pushed to the side and ridiculed.
The Budget Negotiations of the last week, in Congress, spells it all out.
We can't touch Planned Parenthood -- the poster child for abortion
We can't touch Obamacare -- the Socialist Agenda
We can't touch The Welfare Program -- the Short-track to Guaranteed Poverty
We can't touch the EPA -- the Short-track to destruction of the Middle Class
And we can't touch the deficit -- the Short-track to Globalism
Even if it means the financial ruin of the entire country!
Politics and Religion. They are intertwined at the core level. It's not the State v. the Church, it's Evil v. Righteousness.
Abortion, Marriage, Liberty, Justice, Oppressive Government, Private Property, a Just Weight and Measure, National Security, Rights of every sort and more.
The principle enshrined in our Founding Documents had been preached in our churches for more than 100 years before the Liberty Bell rang. That's why there are so many references to God and to His Favor.
The Republican Leadership in Washington could take a Lesson!

What's In It For Me? The Result of Four Generations of Self
If I'm a young person in America:
I have tremendous financial freedom: I don't have to work all day, just to eat
I have constant sensual stimulation: Music, Internet, Facebook, Youtube, etc.
I have a world of opportunity: I'm not limited in what I do or where I do it.
I have time for entertainment and relaxation: leisure time; time for Me
What I don't have is a stable, secure and constructive family life.
I don't have the pressure of survival to make me strong.
I don't have to live with the character building consequences of my actions.
I don't have to get along with people.
I don't have to take an active part in my community. I can hone my selfishness.
I don't have to learn from history. My success is not dependent upon it.
In the end, I am over-stimulated, sensually and under-motivated, spiritually. Everything about life is physical or social, not about strengthening the 'inner man.'
Of course, none of this is new! However, in recent years, it has reached new heights due to the invasion of destructive philosophies, largely in our own homes!
Home used to be a safe haven. We protected our children from outside influences. Now, if I try shielding my children from the destructive images of decadence and profanity dominating the media, I'm "The Problem!"
We've had several generations of people who have adopted the greedy, self-centered worldview offered up 24 hours a day, by every digital delivery system known to mankind. Now we're surprised at the suicide rate among young people [which is higher than any other demographic].
Or...the destructive nature of their 'play?' Something the Bible calls 'uncleanness.'
Or...the failure of so many to "launch?"
Or...the dismal way they handle their finances or raise their children?
Life, for the average young person, is artificial. Nothing about it is real. It's a house of cards just waiting for a stiff breeze to blow it down.
So, what are WE doing to counter this destructive cultural pattern? Sadly, with the majority of Americans under the age of 50, we are like 'Pogo.' A Cartoon character who once opined: "we have met the enemy, and he is us!"

Jared Loughner: The Anomaly ?
Everyone is talking about Jared Loughner, the Tucson shooter. A troubled young man, he clearly has what Dr. Charles Krautheimer (a psychiatrist) says is a "thinking disorder." Others are trying to establish that he is a product of Right-Wing hate speech.
So, who is Jared Loughner? We'll find out over the next few months. But don't be surprised if nothing really stands out!
There may be reports of parental neglect or abuse. There has already been reports of drug use. One of his Community College teachers thought him 'spooky' enough to get him removed from his class. A female student said she deliberately sat close to the door because she thought he would erupt in violence, at some point.
Society will be found to have failed Jared. He will probably be judged insane, which he appears to be, and spend the rest of his life in a Mental Hospital or in jail.
Where do "Jareds" come from? Our secular philosophy doesn't have a concrete answer. It can simply guess. And 70 years' of guessing has taken us on a wild ride!
Sigmund Freud guessed it related to sex. Margaret Sanger (and other psychiatrists) guessed it was evolutionary. Taking her lead from another 'guesser,' Charles Darwin, she and her fellows worked to sterilize undesirable traits from the human genome. They called it Eugenics.
Adolf Hitler's psychiatrists applied Eugenics to non-Arian races, especially Jews. The world was, and continues to be, horrified with the result.
Dr. Spock guessed at how to raise children, apologizing in the late 1960's for his error. Many others have (and are) guessing at who we are, why we do what we do and how to fix it.
I think we'll find that Jared was raised in a permissive home, that his parents were not engaged, that his father was angry and abusive [one neighbor has already said as much], that Jared was a 'troubled child' and this event was simply the boiling-over of all these factors.
But Jared is just one more "Sign-Post" that our secular, psychological, marxist society is ill-equipped to accomplish what it promises.
The Triumvirate of Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and Charles Darwin have set us on the road to destruction. They saw men and women as incapable of governing themselves. Marx saw a centralized government of the Elite, making all the important decisions. Freud saw the human body as simply a compilation of chemistry and impulses, while Darwin robbed us of our humanity, making us animals only slightly higher than brute beasts.
So, after 150 years, we get Jared. Is there a difference between Jared and the average child you see in the store or in the restaurant, badgering his or her parents, insisting on having his or her own way, at the top of their voice?
Only in the result.
The Bloom is off the Rose! But the Elite among us: the social architects, politicians, scientists, psychiatrists and psychologists and even the preachers don't seem to 'see it.'
Give it some time and these folks will be back 'out there' buffing up that rose. Jared will be a blip on the radar. An anomaly. An exception.
Until the next time! Or, until it is discovered that the majority of us think very much like Jared. Then watch the door of personal freedom slam shut!

Bizaro-World!
Where are we?
We can't pay our bills so we borrow $3 trillion.
That didn't work, so now we add another trillion.
We have a Constitution that specifies the House of Representatives shall initiate spending Bills, but a select group of Congressmen meet with the President to 'hammer out' an emergency spending Bill, introduce it in the Senate and refuse to allow the House to change any of the particulars.
We have an election where the majority voters speak out against 'ear marks' and a Health Care Bill which was rushed through Congress last Christmas. A Bill very few actually read, it being about 2000 pages in length.
Now, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, introduces a $1.1 Trillion omnibus spending Bill [in the Senate] that is 1920 pages in length and contains hundreds of millions of dollars in 'ear marks.' He's threatening to keep the Senate in Session right through to January 4, if that's what it takes.
Two new movies are released: the last of the Harry Potter and Twilight Series.
Both feature gratuitous violence and occultic themes. Yet we are told that they represent the age-old battle of good against evil. NO!!!! They feature Evil against Evil!
The Prince of Wales has a fiance: the next Queen of England. Her friend says one of her strongest features is her ability to drink the prince under the table. "She likes to have a good time."
Is it me? Or is everything up-side-down?
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Isa. 5:20-23
