American
America has a constitution, and is a republic, that has constitutional law as it's basis
for governance. It is not necessarily a democracy - majority rule,
in that in national elections, for the presidency, the electoral college
selects the president, after all of the state's votes have been counted.
The
electoral college prevents a few states, with large populations in their largest
cities from
winning the election because of huge numbers, leaving smaller communities
out of the political process. The electoral college depends on the vote, in
all fifty states, including the smallest community, to determine the
President of the United States of America, the leader and defender of the
free world.
The
Declaration
of Independence
is an important part of American culture, also.
We are
Americans.
However, there are those that are non-American, which are here, but do not have citizenship, even
though they might have a work visa. Others are here illegally, and
are breaking the laws of the land. In other words, they are
criminals, whether or not they are violent criminals that have intentions
of doing grave harm to Americans.
It
appears that things have reached the boiling point, or "the
straw that broke the camel's back," recently, and new policies are
being formed, in the Department of Homeland Security; summer of 2005.
The democrats like non-Americans, because if they ever
do become naturalized American citizens, most will register as democrats.
:-)
Republicans like the non-Americans, because it helps keep the cost of labor down.
It seems to me that the work force, in the construction industry, is growing to be a majority of
immigrants, probably a major portion of which are illegal. The services
and food industries are not exempt from a growing number of immigrants
either. All such people are criminals too, if they did not enter our
borders legally.
The government likes these people, because if they have a legal job,
even though they are illegal immigrants, they add to the tax
revenue, through FICA and income tax withholding.
On the down side, border states with Mexico have received an unbelievable burden as relates to cash requirements, due to social
programs, education, and legal as well as medical expenses. And the
total number of this element of people is staggering.
Have
heard that there are going to be new rules, relative to the firms
that hire illegal immigrants, as well as new policies for illegal
immigrants. Those that choose to participate in
that type of unlawful hiring will be criminals too, when they get caught.
Now
let us mention the un-American people.
They do not understand what America is about, and do not want to know.
They could care less. They are only concerned with themselves, and
to hell with everyone that does not agree with them.
Last but not least are the
anti-Americans, that have an agenda.
They desire to destroy America, from the inside. And it seems to me that they are all in the
Democrat's party.
That is the extreme left wing of the American political environment.
Have
noticed that some foreign countries have a political party of left wing
extremists that they call the communist or socialist party, in one form or another.
But those countries have at least three political parties. Wonder
why the people in Washington don't want anybody messing around with their
two party political system? That might be the only thing that they
will ever really agree upon, unanimously; keeping others from sharing
their power. According to Ralph Nader, in the 2004 election, it
was the Democrats that gave him a fit, trying to keep him off of the
ballot, in a variety of states, several of which they were successful at.
Now
you may disagree with this concept, but there are only two types of
people, here in America, that make up the political atmosphere. Of
course there are varying degrees of involvement and association in each
group, from passive to active. Those two groups are capitalists or
socialists. Other words for those groups are the right and the left,
or conservative and liberal, and of course, republicans and
democrats. Don't have a clue as to where the independents fit into
that mix, except to say that the one that changed horses in the senate, a
few years ago, seems to generally vote with the democrats.
Does
anyone need to be reminded that the stated objective of communism and
terrorism is to DESTROY CAPITALISM? That might alleviate some greed,
in the capitalistic system of a free market economy, but greed and lust for
political power would yield corruption, and would escalate back to the days of Hitler, relative to
world dominance of power, and control of business, and all people.
Germany was a socialist nation, during World War II, and fortunately, they
were defeated. The United Soviet Republic of Russia was also a socialist nation, when it
collapsed. And I judge the United Nations group as being a majority
of socialist nations, which is finally having it's corruption exposed,
which started a few months ago.
The extreme
far left wing can not sell their agenda, to the
American people - democrats, independents, and republicans, we the people,
as a whole, so they depend on the courts to do it for them, by being sure that
as many as possible liberal judges get seated to the
highest courts in the land, the federal
bench, especially at the supreme court level. It might be that there
will be a shift in the status of the supreme court though, in the next few
years, from a liberal to a conservative majority.

58, or

Thank
God that
I did not have to make a living in politics. We are supposed to be
angered - righteous anger, when we see or hear about an injustice.
America stands for freedom and justice for all, through law and order.
The
un-Americans that disagree with law and order are lawless too.
When the total of military deaths was about three hundred and sixty or so, in
Iraq, in the early months of that liberation effort, the amount of policemen killed in American cities had an almost identical number of deaths,
all killed during service to their communities, during an identical period of
time of the American military deaths in Iraq.
The
only thing that I can say about law breakers is that they are not good
citizens, and many seem to have a reprobate mind. They are just criminals.
Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, and I am pleased with him. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will reveal justice to the nations. He will be gentle—he will not shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush those who are weak or quench the smallest hope.
He will bring full justice to all who have been wronged. He will not stop until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the
earth. Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.”
*(Isaiah 42:1-4)
So,
there is hope for all that have been wronged. I would like to thank God that the scripture states, "he will not raise his voice in public."
But the catch is to let God bring justice to us, in anonymous recovery,
rather than try to get revenge, which only hurts us more.
And Jesus replied,
“I assure you that when I, the Son of Man, sit upon my glorious throne in the Kingdom, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will have eternal life. But many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then."
(Matthew 19:28-30)
A
few months ago, on the telephone, my voice was raised to a level that even concerns me.
Sure do hope that it was righteous anger.
Someone that
I had been working with, a member of a minority, a democrat, and a new comer, thinks it is alright to kill a baby, half way out of
a mother's womb, called partial birth abortion, by the politically correct
crowd. I don't care what they call it, it is still murder, in the
Mind of God.
Told him that he needed an entire psychic change, and a change of heart.
He sarcastically asked, "Does that mean that I have to join the republican party?"
My reply was, "No, but if you work the steps, and experience the rebirth process, you will be in
God's party." Again, the decibel level of my voice was frightening, even to me.
Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house burns within me.”
(John 2:17) Another
translation states: "Concern for God's house will be my
undoing."
Friends,
I know about minorities. In this noahhite effort, I have been a minority of one, for
over fifteen years.
In my opinion, I have been the smallest minority on this planet.
Recently there was a national poll taken, and the results were that 77% of
Americans supported the display of the ten commandments - in a huge block of marble, in a southern
court.
My conclusion is that close to eight out of ten people want to be on
God's side. Likewise, close to two in ten do not want to have anything to do with
God. That is what socialism is about. LET THE GOVERNMENT DO
IT, RATHER THAN LET GOD SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.
It
did not please me at all when the government recently decided to help senior
citizens with their drug costs, by passing the medicine rider, to it's
retirement package for the elderly. (click

To
me, the greatest sin of the twentieth century was the "war on
poverty," which did indeed establish a national religion for poor
people, which the constitution says that congress shall not do; congress
shall pass no laws that establish a national religion. All
poor people had the opportunity to learn how to depend on the government,
rather than learning how to depend on God. That process is called
BUYING VOTES.
I
was a member of two protestant religions, in my youth. After marriage,
I joined one of the three catholic faiths, not the Roman Catholic one -
therefore I had never even heard about confession (step five) until anonymous recovery
began, but
all of them basically had the same teachings.
God only has two laws.
Believers are supposed to love God with all of their mind, all of their strength,
and all of their heart. The second is like unto the first, thy shall love thy neighbor as
thyself.
In the bigbook, in the chapter
"A Vision for You," it states, "you will learn the full meaning of 'love thy neighbor as thyself.'"
There
is zero possibility for any criminal to love any neighbor. They
hate all of their neighbors, because they hate themselves.
I
came to understand self-loathing after I joined an anonymous fellowship,
which occurred on May 25, 1976. My
parents had taught me better than that!
When we are able to learn how to love our neighbor, in the altruistic
plane of anonymous recovery, we entitle ourselves to learn how to love
God. All of my religions told me to love God and my neighbor, but no one ever told me how to
accomplish those ideals.
But
now back to the ten commandments.
The spirit
of God's son is full of the ten commandments.
The key point to me is in the book of Luke, maybe the middle of the twenty third or twenty forth chapter, when
God's son, on the cross spoke his last words: "Father, it is finished,
I commit my spirit to you."
Now let
there be full understanding of Matthew 5:17-20;
“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No,
I came to fulfill them. I assure you, until heaven and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of God’s law will remain until its purpose is achieved. So if you break the smallest commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. “But I warn you—unless you obey God better than the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees do, you can’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven at all!"
Thank
God for the spiritual awakening. What a blessing it is to be able to learn how to grow along spiritual lines, after having learned how to claim spiritual progress.
The last book in the noahhite lineup of copyrighted literature has scriptural truth and experience on how
anonymous believers can learn how to grow along spiritual lines. But
that might be years away.
Claiming spiritual progress
is about speaking, out loud, the appropriate scriptures into existence, in time of trouble,
doubt, confusion, or eminent danger.
In 1984, at the coast in my
Airstream, a warning scrolled across the television screen, at the bottom, advising that a tornado watch was on,
and it was headed for the area that
I was in.
I did not have the Jeep to haul ass in, so within seconds, I opened the door, looked up to heaven and said,
"Heavenly Father, I am claming the verse in the gospel of John where it says that you will protect us from the evil
one;" John
17:15. I did not know the chapter nor verse then, but
God knew my heart, and he knew that I believed wholeheartedly.
Within seconds, the scrolling message, on the television, changed from a tornado watch to a sever thunderstorm warning.
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites when he judges. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as foreigners here on earth. For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him for this purpose long before the world began, but now in these final days, he was sent to the earth for all to see. And he did this for you.
Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And because God raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory, your faith and hope can be placed confidently in God. Now you can have sincere love for each other as brothers and sisters because you were cleansed from your sins when you accepted the truth of the Good News. So see to it that you really do love each other intensely with all your hearts.
For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. As the prophet says, “People are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall away. But the word of the Lord will last forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
(1 peter
1:17-25)
Will admit that
I might have been preaching on the phone, when my voice was elevated.
Buy my past reflects that the more
I love someone, the harder I am on them. When we love someone, we always expect the best from them.
We will just never accept their worst. On the other hand however, my worst generally taught me my best lessons.
Let us reflect a moment, on the phrase in the last group of scriptures about "he was sent to earth for all to see."
In
spiritual dictionaries the word Galilee means circle. On the
spiritual
principles
web page, we have the following
scripture:
Then Jesus said to them, "Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."
(Matthew 28:10 NLT)
The
point is that around the globe, somewhere every hour and every day, many anonymous meetings close in prayer, in a circle.
And all of these darned anonymous fellowship meetings started in the good
ole U. S. of A. Having been exposed to some global travel, all sure are glad when the plane touches down, upon returning home, on good
American soil, sometimes having seen poverty that we did not know existed.
So,
if you are an American, may God continue to bless you, and all of your
efforts. If you are an un-American, I do not know what to tell you.
If you are a non-American, please get engaged in the naturalization process, or
return to your homeland. If you are an anti-American,
ask God what you should do.
But
please understand the following scriptures:
Obey the government, for God is the one who put it there. All governments
have been placed in power by God. So those who refuse to obey the laws of
the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. For the
authorities do not frighten people who are doing right, but they frighten
those who do wrong. So do what they say, and you will get along well. The
authorities are sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something
wrong, of course you should be afraid, for you will be punished. The
authorities are established by God for that very purpose, to punish those
who do wrong. So you must obey the government for two reasons: to keep from
being punished and to keep a clear conscience.
Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to
be paid so they can keep on doing the work God intended them to do. Give to
everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and import duties, and give
respect and honor to all to whom it is due.
(Romans 13:1-7)
So,
if anyone is unwilling to learn how to obey the laws of the government, they
will never be eligible for heaven, and ultimately, the Kingdom of God.
No one can expect to disobey God, and receive his approval.
*Isaiah
God's Word in Isaiah 42:4 states; ".
. .the distant, or coastal lands beyond the seas. . .." Considering
the land of Israel, where most of God's Word originated, and looking beyond
the Adriatic, Aegean, Aeonian, and Mediterranean Seas, we come first to the
United States of America.
The USA, we believe, is where a Fountain,
the Living Water, will start the New Jerusalem referred to in
The Revelation 3:12. In The Revelation 3:7 we find; "Write this
letter to the leader of the church in Philadelphia," which
we believe is the greatest church of God. Philadelphia in the spiritual
realm represents brotherly love in most Biblical
dictionaries.
