God will not be mocked
Praise God for the preachers who are not unafraid to oppose this radical change to the America we love! While listening to Coral Ridge Ministries this morning, I learned that Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals, is dedicated to Satan:
"From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer."
It is chilling to think that our President taught this book at the Saul Alinsky Institute. Or to realize that Hillary Rodman Clinton's honors thesis was about Saul Alinsky, who believed in instituting fundamental change. This marriage of Marxism and black supremist theology is what Obama learned at Trinity Church at the feet of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
How can our leaders believe it is okay to celebrate the establishment of the kingdom of Satan? Can it be that they wish to change America into a humanistic disbelieving society where Christianity and Judaic beliefs are suppressed and mocked?
I quivered before the election when Obama mocked the Bible. On June 26, 2008 Senator Obama asked "Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?
Should we go with Leviticus which suggests slavery is okay? Or we could go with Deuteronomy which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or we could go just stick with the Sermon on the Mount, a passage which is so radical it is doubtful our own defense department could survive its application. Folks haven't been reading their Bible.
The video is on you tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnmS_vULPxw.
Let us pray for our leaders- that the scales may drop from their eyes before it is too late. Let us pray for the citizens of America that we "stand as a watchtower" against the evil plans which arise while half of the electorate is sound asleep.

Is Your Child's Safety More Important than Teacher's Union Pay?
School Cutbacks or Endanger Your Child? Save R.O. School Buses
The Royal Oak School District decided to eliminate buses for children, beginning in September of this year. I wonder...Did the board or the superintendent consider the inconvenience for parents who may have to quit their jobs in order to transport their children to school? Did they think about how hard it is to get a job these days. How hard it is to arrange a new schedule with an employer. More importantly, did they think about how unsafe it is for children to walk unescorted these days?
I venture to guess they did not consider that a child from my house would have to cross Woodward Avenue, a six lane thoroughfare....in Michigan....during winter. I guess they did not consider that cars may slide off slippery roads and a child could become seriously injured. (Just ask the residents of Hilliard, Ohio as two teens were seriously injured this year) I guess they never considered that child predators would love the opportunity to snatch one of these darlings.
It seems it is more important to keep the six figure salary of Dr. Tom Moline and to keep intact the pensions and salaries of the teachers, than to protect Royal Oak's children. The superintendent and the school board chose to maintain the status quo of the teacher's union, over the general welfare of the students.
Though I no longer have a child at home, I remember a very serious situation when my daughter was in grade school. Despite writing a note in my daughter's personal file in the principal's office asking that my daughter not be dismissed from school without my knowledge, she was sent home anyway, across six lanes of traffic. There was no crossing guard at Woodward. Six inches of new snow had just fallen. I was at work and knew nothing of the school dismissal. Without the keen eye of a neighbor who spotted her freezing outside, my child might of died.
I formed a new Facebook group today: Save Our School Bus. Please join this on line group and join me in person at 6 p.m. March 11th to protest this decision at the next school board meeting. The very safety of your children is at stake.

On the Hunt for True Conservatives, Part 2
We don't have a choice anymore. The progressive policies of Jennifer Granholm and Kwame Kilpatrick have taxed business and their employees right out of Michigan. It is nigh on impossible to travel south on I-75 and not see a u-haul. Homes in my modest neighborhood have now lost 75 percent of their value. My only option if I want to move, is to rent now and hope to sell later. Homes are not selling unless you are willing to lose all of your investment just to get away.
I'm fortunate that I live in the suburbs of Detroit. Many parts of the inner city look like a third world country. If you were blindfolded and saw the houses you might mistake Detroit for Bagdad or another war-torn city.
So how did it happen? This video with Steve Chowder, released by PJ TV explains how it happened:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhJ_49leBw
This mini-documentary traces the history of progressive policies in Detroit. Once the progressive politicians have emptied everyone's pocketbook, they leave the state and move to their multi-million dollar mansions in some southern resort area. They played for your money, and like a con artist the skip town after robbing you blind.
So what do we do with those who are left in office? How do we determine those candidates who want to serve us (the taxpayers) or in politics to profit themselves? Let's begin by looking at incumbents.
The Repork Card, produced by the Club for Growth gives us a listing of which representatives voted for pork and which didn't:*
U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland 97 percent
U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter, R-Livonia 85 percent
U.S. Rep. Vern Ehlers, R-Grand Rapids 78 percent
Median score for Republicans nationwide 69 percent
U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton 66 percent
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph 53 percent
U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer, D-Battle Creek 43 percent
U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Twp 31 percent
U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland 24 percent
U.S. Rep. Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Twp 1 percent
Median score for Democrats nationwide 0 percent
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit 0 percent
U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn 0 percent
U.S. Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Flint 0 percent
U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick, D-Detroit 0 percent
U.S. Rep. Sander Levin, D-Southfield 0 percent
U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee 0 percent
Anyone scoring 1 percent or lower is a pork-barrel spender. These politicians are very dangerous to our nation's survival. This is a harsh conclusion for me to come to. But look at Detroit.....
Then I ask you for one more favor. Help me find candidates who are sincere about cutting the budget. Find people who will not vote for a bill that contains special privileges for some states and not for others. If you find a candidate committed to living a pork-free life in Congress- let me know. I'll post their names here.
