World Hypocrisy...(a brief summary)

It's really disturbing to think how many people in this world have a lot of excuses for not doing what is right.  I have heard that excuses are like armpits....everyone has a couple and they both STINK!  Let me give you some examples that really irritate me concerning the hypocrisy of this world:

1.  People who claim they don't like to read (especially when it comes to reading the Bible) but they can read an email or a text message all day long.  They claim they can't understand the Bible but it's impossible to understand anything if you don't read it.  They also can learn all this text 'mumbo jumbo' and all that.  The point is, they don't want to learn.

2.  Why do people question the Bible but they believe everything that's printed in a newspaper?  Newpapers and other media outlets usually have a secular, liberal bias to them.  They are bent toward this world and they are clueless to the Gospel and who Jesus Christ is according the Scriptures.

3.  I don't understand why so many people are more concerned about a spotted owl or an endangered muskrat but don't think twice about killing an unborn baby.  Remember, this is the main reason why Americans can't drill for our own oil inside our own country because of the fears of harming animals such as this.

4.  I find it amazing how college campuses warn against pressuring anybody to conform to religion (mainly Christianity) but they pressure people to drink and kill your brain cells to be conformed to this world.  These same people think Christians are fanatics but they participate in all these ludicrous and, may I say, FANATICAL initiations to be a part of a snobby, stuck-up fraternity.  Now that's hypocrisy at it's best.  Let me give you a fact of life....everyone is a fanatic about SOMETHING!

5.  Isn't it funny how our schools don't want God until a school shooting or some type of tragedy happens.  I believe when they ask "Where's God at?"  He most likely says, "Remember, I'm not allowed in your schools."

6.  It's hard to understand why people will crowd up a football stadium in extremely cold temperatures and shout at a guy carrying a pigskin sack of hot air down a field but don't care about attending church to worship the Lord who died for them.  Now, I love football but my Lord is supposed to get more praise than that.

7.  Why does Al Gore tell us to give up our cars and SUVs but he still flies in a private jet and has a monthly power bill that reaches in the hundreds or thousands?  The answer is simple.  He's a hypocrite and a control freak and thinks he is above everybody else.

8.  How is it that when the temperature rises, it's due to global warming while the calendar simply shows us that it's SUMMERTIME?!?!  Think about this a moment.  Notice when they say that we have broken a heat record that was set back in the 1930s, they never tell us how it got hot back in THAT time period when there hardly were any cars or anything to put out 'carbon emissions.'  My friends, God is in control over these things and true 'climate change' is simply Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter (read Genesis 8:22).

9.  If evolution is true, then why isn't it still happening?  True science is always consistent.  For example, the speed of light never changes.  The caterpillar that turns into a butterfly never goes beyond that.  And if you go to a zoo, there are no reports of any apes or monkeys turning into people.  If it doesn't happen now, then it didn't happen back then either.  Always remember, evolution is still a THEORY and not true science.  Theory is something that is not proven fact and is based on OPINIONS.  But don't expect to hear that in your science or biology class anytime soon.

'MMM MMM MMM'...my song about Obama.

This is in light of the popular video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zrsl8o4ZPo) of schoolchildren in Burlington, New Jersey singing praises to Obama.  Since it's okay to praise him in a public school, I thought I'd take this opportunity to sing a song based on REALITY about him and his 'accomplishments' they mention.  Here it goes:

Barack Hussein Obama....it's amazing I can say your full name, since it was forbidden during your campaign....mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama....your words are spoken in an eloquent way, but nobody listens to what you say....mmm mmm mmm!

Barack Hussein Obama....you want to bring free enterprise down, and you call it spreading the wealth around....mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama....you investigate the CIA, and set the terrorists free in Guantanamo Bay....mmm mmm mmm!

Barack Hussein Obama....you're always interrupting on the tv, which prevents me from watching what I wanna see....mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama....you have many ideas you wanna push, but when things go bad you always blame Bush....mmm mmm mmm!

Barack Hussein Obama....why would you sign with full speed, a healthcare bill that Congress won't read....mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama....you promised all of us hope and change, but all we have is more of the same....mmm mmm mmm!

Barack Hussein Obama....As my President I'll always pray for you, but I'm not God and YOU'RE NOT TOO....mmm mmm mmm!

Carrie Prejean and ICONS.

Recently on BMX Radio with Kevin McCullough and Stephen Baldwin, the subject about icons was discussed, especially concerning who is a good or bad icon for conservatives.  The center of this discussion was Carrie Prejean, Miss California who has been surrounded by controversy about her disagreement of gay marriage.  Baldwin and McCullough brought to our attention that Ms. Prejean spoke at the Value Voters conference which they also attended and the debate of whether she should be the icon of the conservative movement was raised by some media sources. 

Some callers expressed their opinions on BMX Radio saying that she doesn't represent modesty and so forth among other pros and cons that were brought up about Ms. Prejean.  First, let me say that this would never be an issue to begin with if Ms. Prejean's first amendment rights were respected.  If there's gonna be a smear campaign against someone because they don't answer a question the way someone likes, then the question shouldn't be asked to begin with.  And she should be protected by the Constitution just as others with opposing views should be.

I think us talking about this represents what's really been wrong with the conservative movement for sometime.  And that is, she is one of the few who actually takes a stand for conservative values while Republicans (the well-known party of conservatives) are trying to bow down to liberals in Washington.  After all, the main moderate of all moderates, John McCain, has been tried and tested with a failing result in the last election.  Being a moderate is just a fancy word for being a fence-straddler and they all fall on one side eventually once they hit a post on that fence.

But concerning Ms. Prejean being the icon of conservatives, I think we must understand what makes an icon...an icon.  The term 'icon' in a definition usually refers to a symbol or image that has been PROVEN of consistency in past times to what it represents.  Ms. Prejean hasn't lived and proved herself long enough to be an icon for anything just as anyone else who still have so much more distance yet to travel on the path of life.  The liberals would love to label someone such as Prejean as an icon for conservatives since it would put the odds in their favor for something bad or unfortunate to POSSIBLY happen to the icon, thus throwing all conservatives into the mix of their symbol.

But then again, we are talking about liberals in this matter.  The ones who don't believe you should judge them while they are quick to judge you.  And the last time I checked, they're not too big on having an icon themselves.

A Closer Look at RACE

We have recently seen from the comments of former President Jimmy Carter that the subject of race is still alive and well.  Carter has said that if we criticize President Obama concerning health care then it's simply because he is black and those who are against his policies think he, as a black man, is unqualified.  May I be one of many to remind Carter that Obama won the election with both black and white votes alike.  And if the country was so racist as Carter would have you believe, then McCain (the white guy) would be in the Oval Office as we speak (along with the white woman, Palin).

First of all, I take great pride in following the dream of Martin Luther King by judging President Obama by the 'content of his character and not the color of his skin.'  I disagree with Obama on a lot of things as I look beyond the eloquent rhetoric he often uses.  Neither do I jump for joy when someone who is labeled a conservative Republican who takes office since Bush was not the best icon due to him not actually BEING a conservative in various ways.  And since we are speaking of political parties, wasn't it sort of a paradox that Obama dressed up as Abraham Lincoln during one of his inauguration ceremonies?  Don't they know that Lincoln was a Republican...not a Democrat and the Civil War ended on his watch?

Now, I understand that what I just mentioned is simply old news to most bloggers but this is not for them.  I've found most people are very ignorant, especially among our younger generation, on the simple basic lessons of history.  Our society through the mainstream media and left-wing education has created a lot of 'crickets' in which they are always constantly chirping but yet always remaining in the dark.  With that in mind, I wonder if people actually realize that the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s was passed with a Republican controlled Congress.  Not to mention, a certain Democrat, Al Gore Sr. (yeah, the father of the OTHER Al), who voted AGAINST it.  Have you ever noticed when a liberal Democrat speaks they always dwell on our differences and promote 'class warfare' to get their way.

It's always a speech about black and white, rich and poor, upper class and middle class and so forth.  They appear to be more racially motivated since they are quick to point out the difference in the first place without considering the fact that two people of different ethnic backgrounds can disagree without making it a racial issue.  They never see the two as just humans who are made in the image of God regardless of the color of their skin.  But let me carry this even deeper since I've thrown God into the picture.  Let me point out that I'm not ashamed to say that I hold fast to the Scriptures of the God I trust.  I always say that the problem with this world is not a SKIN problem but a SIN problem!

As the Bible says in Leviticus 17:11 about how the 'life of the flesh (which includes the skin) is in the blood,' we all bleed the same underneath.  Did you know the word 'race' appears in the Scriptures only FOUR times and that it NEVER refers to differences between skin colors, etc?  The word 'race' is used in the Bible to describe a sporting event with the last mention of it referring to a spiritual context in Hebrews 12:1 where we run the race of life with patience.  And that is what's wrong with RACISM to begin with....the competitive implication that the word itself implies when we associate it with different ethnicities.  We can give most of our thanks for that thought process to our good friend Charles Darwin (the evolutionist).  It was through his book The Descent of Man (and you thought he only wrote 'The Origin of Species') where he mentions how different cultures were superior to others and promotes competition to remain at the top.  This is the same belief system that Adolph Hitler used to attempt to exterminate the Jews.

So, as you may see, we shouldn't be in a 'race' with each other.  Let's get rid of the term RACE altogether when it refers to our cultural differences and let the world know that we are not going to be in competition with each other any longer.  Especially when it comes to dirty politicians, Democrat OR Republican, to achieve their own pipe dreams.  We can start with this new perspective in the light of a new day.....or remain as 'crickets' in the dark.

Well....for starters...

Well....after much prayer and consideration, I hereby give my debut blog on Townhall.  While there could be many things to write about, I just want to take this opportunity to inform you, dear reader, of what to expect in the VERY near future of blogs to come.  You will hear my take on subjects involving politics, faith, family, and where our world is headed to say the very least.  This will all be brought out from what I call a 'level-headed' perspective (and I'm not just saying that because I have a flat-top haircut).

I'm very excited to announce that I've just completed a novel titled War Of The Horizon.  It's an epic story of a naval chaplain in a world divided between a thin line of war and peace, order and chaos, etc.  The main character, Clay Silver, has a mysterious past that constantly intrigues him while he ministers unto his fellow crewmen.  Things get interesting when war breaks out by mysterious happenings around the globe.  The story is about the battle between faith and fear and how faith can prevail through moments of the unexpected.  This is carried out when Clay crosses paths with a famous news reporter, Becky Banks.  She represents secular humanism that goes against the faith of Clay.

One of the unique twists behind this story is Clay's journal which Becky uncovers that reveals a lot about the mysteries of life that he has gleaned from his in-depth Bible study and prayer.  Her world begins to become unraveled, especially when a secret of her past comes to light.  Now, I not only said all this just to shamelessly promote my book (which is not officially published at this time).  But I want YOU, dear reader, to experience something beyond the horizon of the unknown at least most of the time just as Becky did in the story.  I guess, like Clay and his journal, these blogs are my chronicles of a limitless journal about life's subjects that impact us daily.  May God bless you all and stay tuned!
