We believe in the greatness of the United States of America.
We believe God gave us freedom and liberty through the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
We believe that life is the first inalienable right. That families by God's design make strong societies, and Christianity brings true freedom.
We believe in the culture of an armed society that is well trained and competent. That society protects all of us and keeps our freedom and liberty.

IRS, What is social welfare?
SylviaBokorComments: A. As of 11:59 P.M.
February 12, the total number of comments regarding IRS
Reg-134417-13 ruling was 24,223 -- up from 23,334, an increase of 889
comments overnight. I have no idea how many comments will stop
the IRS ruling. But one thing seems pretty clear: while this is yet
another impressive jump upward, it may be too little too late.
Several things are working in the IRS favor. One
of them is a group of Senate Democrats, up for re-election and fearful of
their position. They are urging the IRS to take more stringent
measures.
One of the paragraphs identifying the IRS
Reg-134417-13 ruling states that "This
document contains proposed regulations that provide guidance to tax-exempt
social welfare organizations on political activities related to candidates that
will not be considered to promote social welfare.
The IRS does not bother to explain why it has the authority to decide what
the "social welfare" shall be.
If you ask what does the government -- i.e., politicians and
bureaucrats -- believe promotes the "social welfare," they will chorus
that taking money from the earners and giving it to those who did not earn it is
"social welfare."
It is not social welfare to recognize the welfare and right of the
earner to keep what he earns.
They will tell you that constructing for some a "poverty line" by
government edict is social welfare.
It is not social welfare to recognized the welfare of taxpayers that
subsidize those below the politicians and bureaucrats' idea of
poverty.
They will tell you that forcing employers to pay salaries based on their
say-so, is social welfare.
It is not social welfare to recognize the welfare and property rights
of the productive who provide the salaries.
In other words, anything politicians and bureaucrats do is social welfare.
Any private sector activity that calls for honest politicians and limited
government, which protects all Americans is not social welfare.
Ergo, we have the notion that political activity of those Americans
concerned with the welfare of our Republic does not promote "social
welfare."
This point of view is ludicrous, It is also a dangerous premise held
by those bureaucrats and politicians who advocate passage of further
restrictions on non-profits.
+++++++
B. On February 13, the National Tea Party reported 40,247 members. The growth continues. One wonders why all 40,000 of them have not commented on the IRS ruling. Perhaps the cause of indifference is the focus of its members.
On the same day, the NTP site posted an article,
"McConnell provides key vote as Congress approves debt increase." This
title was followed by the remark; "McConnell just sold out
Conservatives." I posted the following comment on the NTP site..
McConnell betrays conservatives? How about
every other American? A lot of Americans do not consider themselves
conservatives. But they are for free markets, upholding the
constitution and limiting government.
Today, the identity of "conservative" is as jumbled and confused as is the identity of "liberal." Besides which it's self-defeating to make the effort to rein in government a solely conservative cause. It is not.
We have a 2014 election facing us. We must appeal
to an electorate some of whom do not consider themselves conservatives. We are
not going to make significant strides if we isolate ourselves into a camp that
does not include all Americans.
It is more fruitful and more widely inviting if one
names the principles that guide us -- such as individual rights, limited
government and free markets. Let the Retrogrades (AKA
"Progressives") yell about their totalitarian goals. We must come together
as Americans for freedom.
McConnell, in my judgement, is an careerist politician,
an establishment Republican that must be voted out of office. There is
a good possibility that he will be.
-------
I should have added that McConnell's vote is a
vote for bigger and less responsible government. It is a vote against the
welfare of all Americans.

1,000 American Soldiers
Vets on the Move.
On the move for better government!!!
A movement has been started by veterans of our armed forces to get out the vote in 2014.
They are organizing, but this can be done by all of us. The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training, either. Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary danger. Please consider this, and send it on to your mailing lists. Thank You.
Interestingly enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. ---
More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have died in August. During the last month, over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this president.
It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 4 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform. But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president.
Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond.
The one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
Veterans: Please forward to as many people as possible. High Priority!
"GOD BLESS AMERICA"

"In selecting men for office.....look to his character."
God's blessings for you all,
"And so it was the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening." Exodus 18:13
"Moreover you shall select from all the people, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and rulers of tens." Exodus 18:21
"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect (party) of the candidate---look to his character. It is alleged by men of loose principles or defective views of the subject that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications of political stations. But the Scriptures teach a different doctrine. They direct that rulers should be men who "rule in the fear of God, able men such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness." ~ Noah Webster ~
America framed its government to elect representatives according to the directive in Exodus 18:21 which establishes is a constitutional republic. God established through Moses a framework of laws to govern their nation and then established the system of leaders to govern the people according to that law. So in America we have our Constitution, based on God's higher law....."laws of nature and of nature's God" which they also described as the Moral Law, is the framework to govern out nation. This law is higher than any elected officials, and is second only to the Bible upon which it is based.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form Of Government." Article IV, Section IV of the U.S. Constitution
These verses in Exodus 18 were cited by our Founders as the basis of our governing document, and has also been the subject of many influential sermons preached during the founding era.
"Our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible."
~ Noah Webster ~
America's republican form of government is derived from the Bible. But it can only be preserved if we as citizens know and heed the Biblical directives for choosing the right leaders at all levels, local, county, state, and federal.
