A Dream Realized....

And now race can be finally put to rest as an issue and Martin Luther's dream can be fully realized. Today a white man and a black man join hands to lead this nation into its future.

Vote NO on Marriage Amendment #2

"Before leaving the question of divorce, I should like to distinguish two things which are very often confused. The Christian conception of marriage is one: the other is the quite different question-now far Christians, if they are voters or Members of Parliament, ought to try to force their views of marriage on the rest of the community by embodying them in the divorce laws. A great many people seem to think that if you are a Christian yourself you should try to make divorce difficult for every one. I do not think that. At least I know I should be very angry if the Mohammedans tried to prevent the rest of us from drinking wine. My own view is that the Churches should frankly recognize that the majority of the British people are not Christians and, therefore, cannot be expected to live Christian lives. There ought to be two distinct kinds of marriage: one governed by the State with rules enforced on all citizens, the other governed by the Church with rules enforced by her on her own members. The distinction ought to be quite sharp, so that a man knows which couples are married in a Christian sense and which are not." - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

My Official Selection

after much hand wringing and praying. I watched the debate between Obama and Mccain , while I think Obama got his butt handed to him on the war, I feel he handled other issues with more poise and skill. Where Obamam is weak on this issue I feel Biden acts as strong fill in for Obama weakness. I will be voting Obama barring any serious snafus on the way to the whitehouse. I would have considered McCain if it wasn't for Palin.

How Liberty can be stolen(taken from DIG)

FEMA eclipses the United States Constitution into oblivion, rendering it null & void. Some people have referred to FEMA as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the U.S. Constitution. Is it any wonder why the U.S. government considers America's Constitution "terrorist literature". Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen: * EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. Don't forget, we're fighting for democracy & freedom in IRAQ..."Operation Iraqi Liberation". George Bush tells us we were attacked on 9-11 by "terrorists who don't like freedom".. "The terrorists are enemies of freedom" "They attacked us because they don't like our freedoms" Sure... Is that revealing or what?? "Thanks to Toto, though, they discover the wizard is not really a wizard at all, just a man behind a curtain. They are outraged at the deception" .....
