A Must-Read Article -- 2012 Election

   For months I have been mulling over writing two blog posts: one on Congressman Ron Paul and his policy positions and the other on Ron Paul supporters. I have not written those posts yet, but today I found this article that I felt I need to share with you. Please take the time to read the entire article. You may not agree with everything in the article, but please look at the facts and consider the importance of our founding principles and the need to understand our politicians' policy positions.This article is more than just an articulation of Congressman Paul's policy philosophy; It is an article about the foundation of our Constitution and the roots of Constitutional Conservatism. If we want to survive as a nation, we must return to our roots. We must educate ourselves on the foundation of our country and how we as Constitutional Conservatives can build on that foundation and not tear it down.

   Proverbs 24:11-12: "If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?"

Gilad Shalit - Free at Last!

   This past Tuesday Gilad Shalit finally came home! After 5 years of being held by Hamas in captivity cut off from the world, Gilad has been reunited with his family, friends, and Israel. In Israel and around the world, people celebrated his safe return. This excellent video, made by a friend of mine, is very meaningful because of the background music. She used this same background music in other videos of Gilad Shalit that were advocating his release. Praise God "dream[s] really do come true"! (Please enjoy and share with your friends.)

   Another great video and this one is from United with Israel:

   May God bless Gilad with a restful recovery and rapid progress as he returns to his life in Israel!

   God bless and Shalom,

Announcing Sunday's Special! (A Day Early.)

   Announcing Sunday's Special...a day early! Even if you are only able to watch one these videos in a single sitting,  please consider watching all of them over the next week. The first video went viral on the Internet (a couple years ago, I think.) I wanted to share something truly special, so here are several videos that I highly recommend:

180 Movie Has Over 338,000 Views!

   If you have not watched the 180 Movie, please take the time to watch it today. So often in our fast paced world we forget to take the time to consider what really matters. History matters. Life matters. Eternity matters.

   We often take the time to argue over History and its influence on our lives today. We sometimes take the time to argue over Life and what are called the prolife and prochoice positions. We less often take the time to argue about Eternity and the afterlife. In all our arguing, we too often forget to consider the ramifications of our positions and the logic or lack of logic behind our arguments.

   The 180 Movie is a way to remind ourselves: History matters; Life matters; and Eternity matters. It is a way to reconsider our view of History, Life, and Eternity.

   Please watch the 180 movie below and please visit the website and Facebook page listed below the movie.

   During the course of our arguments, we toss around words like Holocaust, Hitler, Nazis, Germany, United States, World War II, abortion, adoption, prolife, prochoice, pregnancy clinics, life, death, God, eternity, Heaven, hell, and Judgement. From now on, let us toss another couple words into our arguments: "180 Movie."

God bless you today as you contemplate History, Life, and Eternity,

Announcing Wonky Wednesdays -- A Very Interesting Article!

   I am pleased to announce "Wonky Wednesdays." Starting today I will begin focusing on policy wonk articles and sharing  my thoughts on public policy on Wednesdays.


   This article by Jeffrey Lord at the American Spectator is very fascinating. I found most interesting this line from the article: "The too-cute-by-half cleverness in this current argument over the newest appearance of anti-Semitism as an anchor of Neoliberal philosophy is the use of the term 'neoconservative' as a euphemism for 'Jew.' ": http://spectator.org/archives/2011/08/23/ron-paul-and-the-neoliberal-re


   While is is a long article, I hope you take the time read it to better understand the current Libertarian movement.
