Have you heard all the rage over the report issued by the Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). (Intelligence?? Now there's a real contradiction in terms.) On April 7 the nine-page document titled "Right wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was released classifying many Americans as well as Veterans returning from war as Right Wing Extremists and possible enemies of the state. Below is how the report speaks about our honored veterans:
"The Department of Homeland Security assesses that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of right-wing extremists including lone wolves or small terrorist cells to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join right-wing extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today."
So, here we have a report from Janet Napolitano and more specifically backed by the Barack Hussain Obama's, Department of Homeland Security portraying our veterans as as posing a bigger threat to this country than Al-Qaeda terrorists or genuine enemies of this country like Kim Jong Il of North Korea or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. They wouldn't write anything about these crooks like this. They wouldn't write anything about Osama Bin Laden like this.
It is absolutely amazing to me how much Hussain Obama and his cronies in Washington hate America as it was founded. The report also defines right wing extremism to mean:
Right wing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
Wouldn't it be amazing if the liberals of this country would look at real terrorists the way they look upon conservatives? With Islamic fascists and other terrorists around the globe they want to hold hands, love everyone and sing Kumbaya. Yet here at home they want to take conservative American's, their fellow citizens, and ship them to Gitmo.
Just like the typical leftist they are, Barak Hussein Obama or Janet Napolitano put together this Department of Homeland Security report, proving they are nothing but extreme partisan radicals, and they're ready to go to war with a domestic enemy, conservatives, that they consider to be a greater threat than Iran, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, or any other nation that threatens the United States. The message coming out of Washington by the Barak Hussein Obama administration is that conservatives are the biggest threat to America.
In one of his recent radio broadcasts, Rush Limbaugh said the following, I think I'll send Janet Napolitano a quick little note saying, "Madam Secretary, given your latest report from the Department of Homeland Security, don't close Guantanamo Bay, Club Gitmo. Keep it open so you can ship all the right-wing extremist Americans, former military members down there when you capture them engaging in whatever anti-American activity you dream up."
I couldn't agree more. I think this is something all of us right wing extremists should do. Let her mailbox get filled with 50 million or so letters like this and maybe she can see the foolishness of her statements.
The list of items presented in this document is extensive. For example, if you own a gun, own a Bible, are against abortion or homosexuality, you are guilty of being a right wing extremist. There is no question that these communists in Washington right now are out of control and out to destroy our nation and Christianity.
The left has always supported anything that is against Jesus Christ. They will say they believe in God - but what god?? Mention God and that's ok, but mention the name of Christ and today you're being labeled an enemy of the state.
Do you realize that this document lists everyone who agrees with the constitutional founding of our country as a Right Wing Extremist. That means our founding father's, if they were alive today, would be in danger of extremism and would be closely watched by the Department of Homeland Security.
Thank God for these TEA parties. Maybe America is finally starting to wake up and realize that our freedoms are little by little being stripped away.
God bless

HE IS RISEN!!!!!!
Praise the Lord!!
As this is the greatest day in the history of the world! Because Christ arose from the grave and defeated death, we who are sinners can now freely approach the Throne of Grace in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. There has never been, nor will there ever be again, so precious a gift.
Below I've taken a few different passages of Scripture and tried to encapsulate the true Easter story for everyone. Not only has He risen from the dead but He will one day soon return to call all of His elect home. Enjoy the verses below. Then turn up your speakers as I've embedded a couple of video's from the Accapella Christian group, GLAD. If you love Accapella singing, these guys are the best and these two songs are a real blessing. They follow right along with the Easter theme. Enjoy
"Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. See, I have told you." Matthew 28:1-7
"Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him they worshiped Him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:16-20
"And when He had said these things, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into Heaven as He went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into Heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into Heaven"
Acts 1:9-11
Praise God!! Now scroll down, turn up your speakers and enjoy some great Easter music from GLAD.
God bless and have a great Easter.

Obama the Socialist
There's no question about it, Obama is out to crush investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, private-equity and venture-capital as he laid out his socialist agenda during his State of the Union speech.
That is the meaning of his anti-growth tax-hike proposals, which make absolutely no sense at all — either for this recession or from the standpoint of expanding our economy’s long-run potential to grow.
Raising the marginal tax rate on successful earners, capital, dividends, and all the private funds is a function of Obama’s left-wing social vision, and a repudiation of his economic-recovery statements. Ditto for his sweeping government-planning-and-spending program, which will wind up raising federal outlays as a share of GDP to at least 30 percent, if not more, over the next 10 years.
This is nearly double the government-spending low-point reached during the late 1990s by the Gingrich Congress and the Clinton administration. While not quite as high as spending levels in Western Europe, we regrettably will be gaining on this statist-planning approach.
Study after study over the past several decades has shown how countries that spend more produce less, while nations that tax less produce more. Obama is doing it wrong on both counts.
And as far as middle-class tax cuts are concerned, Obama’s cap-and-trade program will be a huge across-the-board tax increase on blue-collar workers, including unionized workers. Industrial production is plunging, but new carbon taxes will prevent production from ever recovering. While the country wants more fuel and power, cap-and-trade will deliver less.
The tax hikes will generate lower growth and fewer revenues. Yes, the economy will recover. But Obama’s rosy scenario of 4 percent recovery growth in the out years of his budget is not likely to occur. The combination of easy money from the Fed and below-potential economic growth is a prescription for stagflation. That’s one of the messages of the falling stock market.
Essentially, the Obama economic policies represent a major Democratic party relapse into Great Society social spending and taxing. It is a return to the LBJ/Nixon era, and a move away from the Reagan/Clinton period. House Republicans, fortunately, are 90 days sober, as they are putting up a valiant fight to stop the big-government onslaught and move the GOP back to first principles.
Noteworthy up here on Wall Street, a great many Obama supporters — especially hedge-fund types who voted for “change” — are becoming disillusioned with the performances of Obama and Treasury man Geithner.
There is a growing sense of buyer’s remorse.
Well then, do conservatives dare say: We told you so?

Democrats Ethical Dilema
Throughout the election campaign, President Obama continuously promised that his administration was going to clean up Washington and that it would be open and forthcoming. However, since its inception it has been behind closed doors most of the time and full of corruption. I'm so glad to have this "Change We Can Believe In." But this is what the duped American public wanted and now you've got it America. Lets take a look at what's been going on during the first few weeks since Obama took office.
1)While the Senate voted overwhelmingly to confirm William Lynn as deputy defense secretary, Obama had to waive his ethics regulations to place the former defense lobbyist in charge of day-to-day operations at the Pentagon. What this means:
On his first day in office, Obama issued an executive order forcing individuals to wait two years before they could be hired for the agencies they had lobbied and to remove themselves from involvement in issues related to their former employers. However, Obama backtracked on his promise to keep lobbyists out of the federal government by waiving ethics regulations and putting a former defense lobbyist in charge of day-to-day operations at the Pentagon.
2) Obama's initial choice for commerce secretary, Bill Richardson, stepped aside due to a grand jury investigation into a state contract awarded to his political donors. What this means:
From 2004 to 2005, CDR Financial Products, a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based company founded and run by David Rubin, received nearly $1.5 million through the New Mexico Finance Authority for advising the state in a complex highway funding project pushed by Richardson. In roughly that same time period, CDR and Rubin gave approximately $100,000 to political organizations run by Richardson, including one that paid for his and his staff's expenses at the 2004 Democratic convention.
3) Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader from South Dakota, abandoned his bid to become health and human services secretary and the administration's point man on reforming health care because of issues with back taxes and conflicts of interest.
4) Nancy Killefer stepped down from a newly created position charged with the same issue, taxes. She stated, "she didn't want her bungling of payroll taxes on her household help to be a distraction."
5) Tim Geithner also having problems paying his taxes and yet was confirmed as Treasury Secretary.
Are you beginning to see a pattern here?? Could you imagine what would happen if we committed only a small portion of the tax fraud that these Liberal politicians did?? We'd have our assets taken away, get fined and even possibly spend some time in jail. But what do these socialist senators say about all this?? Are they angry? Are they upset? Are they calling for punishment?
Not at all, here's their comments:
"Tom,(speaking of Daschle) made a mistake, which he has openly acknowledged," Obama said. "He has not excused it, nor do I. But that mistake and this decision cannot diminish the many contributions Tom has made to this country." Huh!!!
"I was a little stunned. I thought he was going to get confirmed," said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the panel that would have voted on Daschle's nomination. "It's regrettable. He's a very good man."
So basically, as long as I'm a good man I can just forgo paying my taxes for 3 years without any consequences?
Don't you just love the "change" Obama has brought to Washington? Could you imagine if this was George Busch? They'd be ripping him to shreds. Looks like Obama has decided to keep the "Good ol' Boys Club" going just a bit longer. Surprise surprise!

How Much Is A Billion Dollars?
How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans .
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans.
Interesting number...
what does it mean?
A.
Well.... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.
B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787..
C..
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.
So did you ever stop to think just how many taxes we are paying?
Below is a list:
Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax (Fed)
Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)

Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax
Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax
Telephone State and Local Tax
Telephone Usage ChargeTax
Utility Tax
Vehicle License Registration T ax
Vehicle Sales Tax
Watercraft Registration Tax
Well Permit Tax
Workers Compensation Tax
(And to think, we left British Rule to avoid so many taxes)
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt...
We had the largest middle class in the world...
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
Can you spell 'politicians!'
And I still have to
press '1'
for English.

Twisting Scripture To Fit Our Lives
I was taken to a homosexual web site while trying to view a news story about Ray Boltz who was a Christian music artist who "came out of the closet" last year. He went on to proclaim he was gay but that he was still a Christian. I was amazed at some of the different postings on that web site. How these people twist Scripture to make it fit their lifestyles instead of making their lifestyles fit Scripture. One woman called Bible believing Christians "nothing but scribes and pharisees" and went on to state that Scripture says nothing about homosexuality. Included below is my response to her diatribe.
Just wondering, you say Scripture says nothing about homosexuality. What about Romans 1:24-27,
"Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25, For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. 26, For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."
Sounds a lot like Paul is talking about homosexuals here.
You also seem to be very judgmental toward those of us who hold to the inerrancy of Scripture. As Christians, are we not supposed to live our lives as best we can, according to the Scriptures?? Did Jesus not say, "Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do what I say?" Luke 6:46
We certainly should pray for Ray Boltz that the Lord would bring him to repentance, but no matter how you want to twist Scripture to make it fit your lifestyle, homosexuality is still a sin and needs to be dealt with. No one can call themselves a true Christian if they continue living in sin and think its ok. If they refuse to recognize sin as sin and are unrepentant, then they risk dying in their sins and spending eternity in the Lake of Fire.
All sin is an offense to God, from lying to sexual immorality to murder and we have all sinned. This is why Jesus came into the world - to save sinners. He lived the perfect life that we are unable to live, thereby fulfilling the law for us. Then he died a death he did not deserve, thereby paying our fine. What would take us an eternity to pay for in hell, Christ paid for in just a couple of days. Then He defeated death and now sits at the right hand of God and will return soon to judge the living and the dead.
So for all the folks at TurningPoint and anyone else who claims to be a Christian, it is very important to know that it is we who need to make our lives fit to what Scripture says and not try to twist Scripture to fit our lives. We are the ones who are sinful and need forgiveness. We can't run around saying, 'well that was 2000, 3000, 4000 years ago so it no longer applies to us today.' We may have changed but God and His word never change. God tells us to, "Be Holy for I am Holy." So lets make 2009 a year of repentance and lets work to live by the teachings of Scripture and not make Scripture live by the teachings of man.
God bless
