Angus Jones Takes Aim at His Own Show "Two and a Half Men"

When I heard this story, it literally brought a tear to my eye. The youngest start of Two and Half Men, Angus Jones has come forth as a Seventh Day Adventist and made harsh criticisms of his own show.

In the videos below you will learn more about his walk toward the Lord and the struggles he has gone through.





Of course, without fail, the liberals have already come out of the woodwork to make their smirks, smart-ass comments, and show their perceived superiority. To wit:

Joy Behar



You know, the thing about this kid is that he also had a downward trend. He was using drugs, and then he found religion. A lot of times I’ve noticed that people do that. They’re on drugs, and then they give up drugs, they need a new addiction, and the new addiction is religion.
I'm still not quite sure just what point she is trying to make here. First she criticizes his drug use and then she makes the assertion that religion is merely another addiction. So should he continue to use drugs? Should he find something else to waste his life doing? Whatever point she was trying to make, it certainly came off extremely offensive and quite judgmental. Especially considering that she is equating belief in the Lord with using drugs. Is this an attack on religion or an attack on the SDA church? I'm not sure but I am sure there will be plenty more comments coming from the elite media and entertainment industry.

I ask that we all fervently pray for Angus. He is certainly going to need our prayers and support because the enemy will be hard at work here. The only goal Satan has is keeping us in confusion. Any walk towards Christ is initially quite difficult as most of us know. Angus is in the world of Hollywood, surrounded by so many who celebrate their sins and the sins of others, I can only imagine how difficult his walk will be. We must pray for him.

One other thing that makes me so happy is that he found the Sabbath!!! Amen!!! The true Sabbath is the mark of our Lord, that special commandment that says, "Remember to keep the Sabbath..." How amazing is it that the Lord knew way back when His people would forget? Now most all of His children worship on Sunday, going to church on the pagan day of celebration rather than abiding by the original commandment. The Lord did not come to change the Law of the Prophets; He came to magnify the law! Amen!

The American Left -- Analyzing Tolerance

The American left has been very active over the past 20 years (at least in my lifetime of following politics), in demonstrating their beliefs of tolerance and forgiveness. It is without question that liberals are extremely forgiving people, especially toward those who consider themselves democrats and liberals.

Reading and watching the news has allowed me to make some general observations of the left and their rules for tolerance. In order to make sense of the liberal mindset, it's important to read the words they chose to convey their beliefs.

Some examples I have found repeatedly over the internet include:

"You don't support gay marriage because you're a homophobe! You obviously just hate gays."

"You judge people so you are no Christian."

"You don't want more taxes because you hate the poor and you're greedy."

"If you don't support abortion, you are simply showing everyone that you hate women."

"If you weren't evil, you'd be liberal."

Of course, most of you know that this is a very small sampling of statements that are commonly uttered on liberal blogs and social networking sites. In some cases the statements are much worse but I will assume that those are made by people representing more of a fringe rather than the norm. Now, let's ask ourselves, what is the first thing we see when we look at these types of statements?

1) False dichotomies. A false dichotomy is described as a statement that is meant to lead a person into believing there are only two options of choice and reasoning. Let's use the first example, "You don't support gay marriage because you're a homophobe! You obviously just hate gays." If you don't support A, you are B. In their minds, it is simply not possible for someone to be C, D, E, etc., because they are telling us they simply haven't thought passed the one conclusion.

2) No sense of reasoning. Since they have not allowed themselves to be exposed to other explanations in a positive way, they simply cannot make sense when someone makes an attempt to define another reason for their beliefs. To many it is unacceptable to say that you believe homosexuality to be immoral or that you object to the government supporting a lifestyle that is destructive on both a physical and spiritual level. In fact, any other reason that you try to present to them is dismissed because they now view you as a bigot. They are unable to find reasoning in your views because they lack the curiosity to engage in understanding.

3) Judging is reserved for the left. "You judge people so you are no Christian." Now of course the obvious problem with this statement is that anyone who has read the Bible knows full well that we are called on to judge behavior as being moral or immoral. Furthermore when a person refuses to gain insight into positive and negative judgments they are subject to continue making poor judgments that can hurt themselves and others around them. While condemning people for judging, they then turn around and make a judgement concerning a person's relationship with their G-d in the very same statement. So the issue here is not judging because the modern left has no problem doing this; it is merely that they have a disdain for conservatives who make judgments.

4) Irrational and ignorant of cause and correlation. "If you don't support abortion, you are simply showing everyone that you hate women." The very sentiment is irrational and not supported by any logic but it also tells us that those on the left have difficulty in understanding the cause and correlation. They are suggesting that there is a direct link to hating women and being against abortion. This is not fact based and one could easily say the exact opposite -- people who care about women are against abortion.

5) Consistently inconsistent. "If you weren't evil, you'd be liberal." Here we can see that many on the left not only disagree with conservatives but that they actually believe that our views are founded by evil people. Interestingly the left has repeatedly engaged in slandering people on the right while encouraging and enabling the same behavior, if not worse, demonstrated from their own leaders.

6) Huge egos. The modern left is a collective ego that is fueled with the many individual egos that make up the whole. We know this to be true because of the inconsistency issue I listed above. When a person is conflicted in such a way that they are unable to ascertain their selective outrage. Ultimately it is their egos that stand in the way of allowing themselves to be confronted and questioned. It's much easier for someone with a false ego to dismiss information by calling names, attacking sources, appealing to authority, and acting superior.

After all, they still decided to elect a former klan wizard into the Senate for years; they still supported Ted Kennedy who allowed a woman to drown and made active attempts at covering up the accident; they didn't blink an eye when their party tore a black man apart for being nominated to the Supreme Court; they still believe that Clinton did nothing wrong and was only impeached over a sex act; they don't even bat an eye when their former president Carter makes hateful statements about Israel, and I will discuss more later on but, the point is simple - they do not have any problems with immoral behavior; they just have problems with any behavior demonstrated from the right.

Understanding these observations might be insightful but is there a way we can use this information to better communicate with people on the left? Is there a way to get passed the childish statements and offer them a new or different perspective?

Sometimes I look at those on the left and I get frustrated that they still don't "get it." What more information do they need in order to help them understand the dangers in their beliefs? We have years of history to help us understand that when a government becomes too cozy offering its citizens cradle-to-the-grave "protection" they become corrupted and ultimately end up slaughtering millions of people. For whatever reason these facts do not deter people on the left because they have convinced themselves that "true socialism" never existed and we just "haven't done it right" before.

For a sample demonstration of how liberals try to rationalize information, click here. The article is clearly conveying how the current administration has been able to rely on the media to either suppress information or distort it in someway that protected the administration from being rightly scrutinized. If we go down to the comment section however, we can see a poster going by the name of "jharp" who actually suggests that Clinton was impeached over a sex act. Of course we can see other posters trying to explain that the Clinton scandal had nothing to do with that but rather lying under oath. He also tampered with witnesses and attempted to hide physical evidence. The liberal poster, "jharp" immediately rejects the information and moves on to suggest that Benghazi was not a cover-up, that the Obama administration had nothing to lie about, and the administration did not lie about it. If we continue reading we see people trying to explain what went wrong with Benghazi, giving facts and information about the event but, alas they are met with the same hateful rhetoric and a person determined to ignore anything that doesn't support his beliefs. Did this guy even bother to watch the hearings where testimony proves the consulate had repeatedly asked for more security weeks before the attack? Does it occur to him that 9/11 is also the anniversary of one of the most horrific days in America, yet Obama claimed to be unaware of potential problems? It couldn't be more obvious that Obama lied but, this is ignored completely.

Communicating to people who have such little understanding and depth of issues is reminiscent of trying to explain a calculus problem to someone who has never taken algebra, geometry, or trigonometry (all of which are needed). It is up to us to simplify our positions in order to ignite curiosity. This in turn may provide us the opportunity we need to further explain our position on issues without being met with the initial unwarranted hostility.

We must remember that we are not speaking with these people directly but rather trying to converse with an ego that is unreasonable. The ego is a manifestation of information absorbed by the person during the course of their lives. Ultimately the far left and others who are radical in their beliefs have consumed a great amount of negative feedback in their lives. This feedback has turned many of them into very bitter and angry people who separate themselves from others simply by feeling a certain way and those feelings turn into thoughts that are harmful to themselves as well as others.

It is possible that many liberals have found anecdotal evidence to support their ideology, such as a rich CEO acting abusively towards those he has employed. This in turn pushes them to believe that all CEO's or people who are engaged in business on an executive level are evil or harmful people. This thought alone gives them the idea that they should support the "little guy" only but, they fail to see that the CEO and the "little guy" are part of the same whole. They might see an injustice brought about through racism so they pledge support for the minority and ignore the fact that the minority is a part of the whole and not separate from the majority. This is the genesis of us/them, either/or rhetoric. It comes from a divided mind that lacks clarity in understanding how the world is connected. They seem to think that actions occur in a vacuum, that changing or fixing up one area will not harm or change other areas or policies. For instance they might support special rights for minorities but lack the ability to understand that those special privileges can and have worked against the very people they were initially trying to help.

Egos are a part of everyone's life but if we ever expect to grow and learn, we must first recognize their damage and only then can we begin to start making connections between both the individual and systems that the individual is a part of.

If we truly expect to help the "little guy" we must first recognize that the "big guys" are the ones that have the power to help the "little guy." We must understand that the success of an individual is a success for all of us. This is why it is so important for government and the private sector to have balanced approaches in our problem solving decisions.

When someone believes things like, "the rich need to pay their fair share," and, "there's no reason for this person to make so much money" they are telling us that they see the rich as people who are separate from them and not a part of them. The fallacy in this thinking should be obvious but, for those on the left it's as if they never had time to think about the absurdity of their claim. Without encouraging success from all people, we limit ourselves as well as others. In countries where "fairness" policies have been implemented  we can clearly see that there always remained a wealthy class but much fewer in number. This in turn meant that less people are able to invest in businesses, ultimately a smaller number of people determining which services and products that can be purchased. Since there are less services and products to chose from, prices can continue to rise, less money is placed into the hands of individuals creating greater strain on those who are on the bottom, which will in turn call for more government money and help from politicians, greater restrictions are placed upon businesses making it almost impossible to hire or fire people, which drives down the quantity and quality of production. Greater resentment is created between the now two classes (uber-rich and extremely poor), that are created through this philosophy.

It is no wonder that the ego creates a wall between a person's true self and the reality they have chosen to live in -- a prison inside their mind. Masters and victims are what they chose to focus on so creating more victims only further helps to fuel this destructive mentality.

All of this leads us back to finding a better way to communicate with people who are in arrested states of development, both mentally and spiritually. It is not only important for us to analyze the left and their so-called tolerance, we must help them analyze their own tolerance. If we can try to break through the ego and get them to question themselves, it might prove to be successful. One thing we must accept is that our words and reasoning will almost never make any instant changes. The reality is the process of understanding truth must come from within and that change could take years and years to occur so, the best we can hope for is planting some seeds where we can.

I believe we must focus on the root of why conservatives believe what we believe and that is love. Love is the force that drives us because it is love that helps us recognize the importance of the individual and supporting a moral culture. Love is what allows us to understand truth and drives us to understand that not all tolerance is love. Some tolerance is actually harmful and we know this as fact. This is why we need not worry about defending anything. The truth can, will, and must stand on its own. If we can approach our conversations with love in our hearts, we can see through the ego, ignore the insults, and stay firm while remaining honest.

I've given up trying to beat a dead horse with someone since it is just a fact that my words will take a long time to penetrate through the inflated and false egos but, maybe somewhere down the line, maybe by some miracle my words will be remembered for a later time in life.

How about you? Have you had any success breaking through with someone? What did you do or not do that was different from before? How do you see the left's selective tolerance? Tell me your stories; I'd love to hear from you.

The Morality of the Left

I spend a lot of time reading blogs, article sites, and other news sources. After reading a story, I always make my way through the comments sections, and this is where I will find the most interesting information and become more informed about how different people are viewing current events. Many times, more comprehensive information is provided by those contributors which often prompt me to look for more knowledge. The biggest trend I find among those with left-leanings is the ever increasing call for fairness.

Distortions About Republicans

I have been trying to examine why it is so many on the left have been working so hard to demonize the Republican party. According to those on the left, we are a group of evil people who hate minorities, gays, poor people, and anyone who isn't white. Since I don't fall into most of the categories that democrats say Republicans support - white, male, rich -- I wanted to write an article about why it is I feel the Republicans are the best party to represent all Americans, rather than the democratic party that seems to want to do nothing other than separate people for political gain.

In order to do this, I must FIRST address the lies and distortions that come from the democrats who are always trying to project their own illness unto everyone else. They attempt to whitewash their history, ignoring what their party has done and then actually make efforts to blame Republicans.

First of all, the Republican party was started under Lincoln. He was the first Republican candidate to win the presidency.  Blacks were first elected to Congress as Republicans and some were ex-slaves. We also know that every single piece of legislation that was passed in an effort to make blacks equal and give them equal rights were not only passed with Republicans but were strongly opposed by the democratic party. In fact the organization called the KKK (founded by democrats), was created to get rid of Republicans -- and since blacks were 100% Republican, they were a natural target for the group rooted in hate and racism. After the democrats took control in 1892, with the Presidency, the House, and Senate, they repealed all of the Republican civil rights acts and enacted Jim Crow laws.

According to democrats, the racists became Dixiecrats and then became Republican, basically prompting everyone to switch parties. The argument is totally absurd and completely false.
The idea that “the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans” is not quite true, as you note. But because of Strom Thurmond it is accepted as a fact. What happened is that the **next** generation (post 1965) of white southern politicians — Newt, Trent Lott, Ashcroft, Cochran, Alexander, etc — joined the GOP. 
So it was really a passing of the torch as the old segregationists retired and were replaced by new young GOP guys. One particularly galling aspect to generalizations about “segregationists became GOP” is that the new GOP South was INTEGRATED for crying out loud, they accepted the Civil Rights revolution. Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter led a group of what would become “New” Democrats like Clinton and Al Gore.
 Professor Larry Schweikart of the University of Dayton continues:
Why did a new generation white Southerners join the GOP? Not because they thought Republicans were racists who would return the South to segregation, but because the GOP was a “local government, small government” party in the old Jeffersonian tradition. Southerners wanted less government and the GOP was their natural home. 
Jimmy Carter, a Civil Rights Democrat, briefly returned some states to the Democrat fold, but in 1980, Goldwater’s heir, Ronald Reagan, sealed this deal for the GOP. The new ”Solid South” was solid GOP. 
BUT, and we must stress this: the new southern Republicans were *integrationist* Republicans who accepted the Civil Rights revolution and full integration while retaining their love of Jeffersonian limited government principles.








Women also benefited from Republicans. The right for women to vote was brought about by the Republicans, not the Democrats -- Here's a nice reality check for those of you that would like some details.

If we listen to the current democrat party, we can see these dems trying to scare people with their fake "war on women" and actually telling people Republicans want to take away a women's right to vote.



I myself have said I would gladly give up my vote if it meant women like the one featured above would not be allowed to vote but, I cannot name one Republican in office that has advocated taking the women's right to vote away.

Affordable, quality education? It has been the democrats who have repeatedly blocked any effort to allow poor children access to private schools through a voucher program. The Republicans have tried relentlessly to get competition among schools in order to raise the overall level of education provided to children. Blacks, poor, and other minorities are constantly the victims horribly run, government schools, especially in the inner-cities (run by democrats), yet the democrats see nothing wrong and their only solution is to deny the problem and maintain the status quo. Of course we know why - unions. The dems are fully backed by corrupt unions that protect teachers that do not do their jobs. We are only instructed to pay them more regardless if students are learning less, and regardless if teachers are preforming better.

Both parties (click to read details), have made changes concerning their stance on public education. Let's also not forget that the same democrats who are all strongly against a voucher program do not send their own children to the public schools they demand for the poor and minorities to attend; their children attend private schools.

The equal pay issue is ridiculous and quite frankly insults my intelligence. I already discussed this issue in another article I wrote, "Women and Their Equal Pay."

You can read more about how ridiculous this issue is and the sheer hypocrisy of the democrat party for bringing up this issue in the first place, click here, here, and here.

Republicans are routinely accused of not supporting things like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid but of course this is false as well. Both the Republicans and Democrats had opponents for these bills and both parties had supporters, which ultimately led to their passage. Some have argued whether these bills have been successful. The system is designed in such a way that asks current workers to pay for those that need Social Security now. Initially, there were plenty of workers for one retiree but that number has massively decreased and is expected to tilt the other way in the next 20 years. Meaning there will be one worker for 2 or 3 retirees.

Social Security was intended to be one source of your income after retirement, but not the sole source.
Yet, it seems as if democrats have been preaching to people for years, at least in my lifetime, that social security is intended to be a person's full retirement plan and when people finally wake up to the reality of social security they can use Republican's as their scapegoat. At this point the program requires major overhaul. As usual we can expect the democrats to pull their "half-truth" propaganda in order to push forward whatever their plan might be to help keep this program on life-support. As we have already witnessed during the Bush 41 years, any attempt at trying to change the program and take action has been routinely shot down and ridiculed by democrats. Only history will show that it would have been best for us to take action years ago when Bush first proposed a solution.

There are still many different issues to discuss but I wanted to bring up a few that have always disturbed me. I feel that the Republicans' message has remained fairly consistent. We have made changes here and there to reflect the people inside of the party but overall our desire has always been equality and economic growth.

All one has to do is turn on the news and see how conservative Republicans are not only attacked on ideas but that they are actually called "evil." Click here to see an interesting site dedicated to this type of rhetoric. Not only will these people lie and distort information, but instead of attacking ideas, they actually attack people. Their message does not end with people being "stupid" or "ignorant" in their minds but rather EVIL. As conservatives, we must read what they have to say in order to seek out the truth and counter these arguments with facts. Again, I say to you, it is not the people we dislike it is the reflection of who they are. They are merely projecting their own beliefs about themselves. It is their egos that have taken them over. Their egos are not who they truly are. If we can get them to question themselves in some small way, there we can begin to break down the walls they have built up around themselves.

The recent election has helped me realize a number of things but most importantly it has helped me become interested in getting out the true, loving message of what it means to be a conservative Republican. I will continue to look for issues that are distorted by the left and do my best to expose them here or lead you to others who have already done so. Together, we can turn things around.

Turn Away, Don't Look Here -- Obama Administration

How obvious can it be that the Obama administration is hiding something? If you don't know by now, you live in a hole or you support Obama -- without facts.

Hilary Clinton is stepping down as Secretary of State. Just as General David Petraeus, the CIA Director was asked to testify before Congress concerning the Benghazi attack, he has offered his resignation, citing an extra-marital affair. Timing is amazing, isn't it? Eric Holder who is directly tied to Fast and Furious will be making his exit soon, and let's also mention that Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner is packing his bags as well.

So what is Obama hiding? Those of us who have been paying attention know that there is something here we Americans need to be concerned about. Those of us that live under rocks and behind proverbial walls voted to re-elect Obama. I mean, even Julian Assange isn't thrilled about his re-election, calling Obama, "a wolf in sheep's clothing."

Will America wake up before it's too late? One can definitely hope. Let's make sure we expose this man before he is allowed to stand by and watch more Americans being killed without lifting a finger.

Picking Up the Pieces and Moving Forward

Election night was tough for many of us, especially myself. I had prepared for the night for so long. I was absolutely optimist, calling for Romney to win in a total landslide. I even thought he could pull off major surprises like picking up IL and CA. In my mind, there was no way anyone was really going to go inside that voting booth and pull the lever for Obama. How could anyone be so misinformed, misguided, ignorant? Not possible in my mind.

Well, I was wrong and not only was I wrong, I was terribly wrong. Obama was re-elected; I had to deal with the fact that I was actually living in a dream world. Our country has not only gone far left, much more than I ever thought was possible but, there are seriously too many people in this country who are not paying any attention, yet they do believe they are informed because they watch MTV, VH1, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. I suppose I should not forget to mention MSNBC, the station that continually has their nose straight up the asses of democrats. These stations and "news" (I use that term LOOSELY), programs sing the praise of liberalism (mental-disorder), daily and do so with comedy as well as mis-characterizations of the Republican Party. They rarely make attempts to analyze any liberal beliefs, nor do they attempt to explain why they believe their ideas to be good for the country. Instead they are fixated on attacking those of  us on the right by ridiculing us and associating us with negative labels that are grossly inaccurate.

After having a bit of a confrontation of Facebook with a group of mindless liberals, I became aware of how utterly ignorant the people who voted for Obama are. Of course I knew this beforehand but, I had figured that perhaps many of them would have formulated better arguments to justify their foolish decision to re-elect  one of the worst presidents I have witnessed in my lifetime. He is worse than Carter and Clinton. After his horrible economic policy, shoving Obamacare down our throats, Fast and Furious, and the recent attack in Benghazi, it is clear the man is not only incompetent, he has no regard for the rule of law. He rules like a dictator and for people not to recognize this was somewhat a punch in my chest.

So, after having a bit of a pity party, doing a little crying, getting a bit angry, and posting on Facebook my arguments supporting my anger, I am back to where I need to be -- calm and focused. This election revealed many things:

First, conservatives and Republicans still make up half of this country. We are however losing the cultural war. As I have stated in my previous post about libertarians being the cancer of the right, it's true that many people have given up on moral values and have opted to support moral relativism offering no judgment on people's decisions pertaining to gay marriage and drug use, those being the top two "hot-topic" cultural discussions. We must gain control over this issue. Without a moral society supporting moral behavior, there can be no freedom. Only those that understand the importance of dignity and working toward living righteously can maintain a government that will support a healthy, strong, and free society.

Second, liberals are MEAN. This election has magnified this characteristic in them. Their arguments and presentation of their deceiving, holier-than-thou ideology has become tainted with anger and outbursts. Their rage is misdirected and their emotional expression is erratic. Their justification is based upon a house of cards, not rooted in any logical or rational means. It is time for us to learn how to communicate in different ways that will break down these walls that they have purposely imprisoned themselves in.

Third, liberals do not know what they are doing. They do not understand logic, action-reaction principle, nor do they know actual facts. They know half-truths, partial information, and they have memorized the lies that are fed to them by the liberal media. They seem to think that taxing, healthcare, government regulations, and other "feel good" types of legislation have no consequences. It is because of this that we have learned they do not even realize the very things they push for, will be the very things that destroy them. We must help people understand that every action has a reaction; every "change" that is supported doesn't just work for or against one group of people but that it will affect the whole. We must convey our root message that we are not our own little islands but rather connected and make up parts of the whole. People must understand that change only comes from within and that change must be found in morality. When individuals are moral the society we live in can become peaceful.

Finally, we must focus on communication. On the internet we have the opportunity to speak with people in ways that are not possible in everyday life. Sometimes this can be a good thing and sometimes this can be horrible. We must understand that we do not have the benefit of voice inflection or body language. It is one thing to discuss issues among friends in person or even on the telephone but those discussions allow for multiply forms of expression. When we only have our words out there for people to read, we must be use our words productively.

As for myself, I can say for years that I have failed many times in my communications over the internet whether they be on Facebook, Twitter, or political forums. I have most certainly became enraged, insulting, demeaning, condescending, and just plain nasty because of my frustration towards those that are repeating propaganda that is destroying the moral and political fabric that makes this nation exceptional. I am beginning to mature in a way that helps me realize how very important it is to keep my cool, stick with facts, and portray myself in a more patient manner. We must all remember that it is not the people we are angry at. They are merely like everyone else -- projecting what they have absorbed in their lives. It is what they have been surrounded by that is what angers us. So we must take a cue and learn from them what has made them come to the conclusions they have. This might give us some insight into helping chose our words in a way that will force them to consider TRUTH. Some of them have traveled so far down a path of lies and destruction, they simply do not even hear that bell of truth. Truth is only found to those that seek it, it doesn't just happen or come about so, when we chose our words they must have meaning.

The Republicans are always working against corrupt forces. Those forces who work against humanity: government schooling, liberals who continuously attack their characters (because they themselves represent poor, corrupt characters in arrested states of development in spirituality) and not actual ideas, the liberal media (public airways, newspapers, and the internet), and yet we still maintain fifty percent of the population.

When liberals are actually confronted in an appropriate manner matching their level of understanding, only then are they forced to actually confront how they really feel. We must focus on doing one thing and that is, get them to question why it is they feel a certain way. We know as conservatives, we are right. Period. We move with confidence knowing our logic prevails always.

Some of us think in big pictures while others are focused on details. This can be broken down into federal government vs. state government, or society and culture vs. the individual. Do you understand why having a balance between both of these worlds is not only necessary but also moral?

We must focus on both the individual and the big picture. We must ask questions of ourselves if we want liberals to question themselves, so put your own views to the test. Have you had the experience of really understanding why it is conservatives are correct or are you doing what so many on the left do and that is just repeating ideas you hear from others? I am fortunate enough to have the experience of moving from liberalism to growing up and being a conservative. I know how many of them think. We all need to understand so that we can learn to better convey our beliefs.

We must be prepared with facts and information. This means we have to spend time researching. I'm not sure how responsible you are but I do try very hard not to say anything that I know isn't true however, I have been duped  into repeating bad stories, just like everyone else. News organizations have all been known to go after a story that turned out to be something different. It does happen but we need to try and do our best to make sure that it happens very little and the only way that happens is when you check the facts from different sources.

Our main focus should always be LOVE. G-d IS love. Our love must override all but what is love? It seems to me that liberals especially do not have a clue as to what love is. They don't seem to understand that having self-interest is not selfish. Self-love is the only way to love others. Love is forgiving and not about revenge.


"No, no, no -- don't boo, vote," Obama said. "Vote. Voting is the best revenge."

There is easy love and there is tough love. Love is not tolerating immoral behavior for the sake of tolerance. It is evil to watch and say nothing. Tolerance is neutral, it can be an evil or moral act. We must force people to question this of themselves. Why do they believe all tolerance is good when they themselves will not tolerate everything?

Many liberals will "give" so much of themselves to the point where it deteriorates their own dignity. Loving yourself if the fist step to understanding what love is. Often times when I am conversing with liberals telling me about their lives and their problems they will reveal to me how much they repeatedly give to an individual. They do this to a point where they knowingly give until it destroys them. Now they have an excuse for being a victim and complaining about how someone "used" them. They immediately become frustrated with the world and this is what produces their cynicism yet, they are the ones who produced the cynicism themselves. They don't love themselves, therefore they never really had any love to give, and when nothing came back towards them, they became angry.

For many, this behavior is not conscience. They are simply unable to identify patterns. To them, their actions should produce what they want only. They ignore the fact that it is THEIR actions that need to change, not others reactions. Instead of adjusting their behaviors, they move on and continue to make the same mistakes effectively martyring themselves for gain of sympathy from their willing friends who are also robbing themselves by supporting their behavior. The lack of awareness is produced when the mind is divided. The ego is different from the true self and as a consequence, they cannot bare to hear that it was ultimately their actions that produced the results they claim they didn't want.

An example of this I have heard countless times is from liberal women complaining about men who have done them wrong. They buy men things, take care of them, run errands, watch their children, and then one day out of the blue they decide they are being wronged. Perhaps one of their meddling girlfriends told them not to put up with "this or that" and this initial push ignites a fire that creates an argument. The man, who may or may not be taking advantage of this women, is then forced to go on the defense, not understanding why this women waited 2 years of her life to say anything or complain. He may be confused and angry himself but he certainly doesn't feel responsible at that point. His defense could be rather negative and thereby his treatment of her will not improve. The woman will begin to show her bitterness and make outrageous demands at this point, pushing her man further away. If he does comply, it will never be good enough. She has set up a trap for her man -- damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. As a result, the relationship will deteriorate and the woman will blame the man for being mean and a whole host of other complaints that have nothing to do with him but rather herself. Because she never loved herself, she allowed herself to "give" to a point that was self-destructive. The cycle will continue in her life with anyone and everyone she comes across.

Not only that but her liberal friends will praise her, telling her she did nothing wrong and men are evil. Men are evil. This is something I hear all the time from women and not only is the statement patently false, it is divisive and dangerous.

Liberals' minds are divided in so many ways and this is evident by the fact that they take such great pains to devalue the lives of others as they pertain to a sex or gender, a lifestyle, a philosophy, a class, or even a religion. They do this out of bitterness. Yes, their beliefs are based on personal experiences but those experiences are the ones that they brought upon themselves.

Imagine how much different the situation could have been had she simply discussed how she was feeling with her husband or boyfriend. Perhaps she could have told him that she was feeling a little overwhelmed and would be interested in doing more for herself instead. If the man was using her, he would have the opportunity to leave her at that point and this would be good for both parties involved. She could begin to care for herself and then seek out a man who loves himself and create a relationship where true love could be found, or perhaps he could agree and be happy that she is truly changing in a positive manner. True love is where both parties love themselves and each other. When things go wrong, you don't blame "all of men" or "all of women," you examine your OWN behavior and think about what you should have done first. The answer is always the same thing --- LOVE yourself. Know what love is. Know what it is that you want from love and then behave yourself in that same manner.

Liberals want their goodies from government. They go out and vote for their man and support them so that they can get something from them. Ultimately, as we have seen throughout history a population will beg for help, until they can complain about it. Right now we see people asking for more government to come into their lives. They don't love government because they don't even love themselves. If they loved themselves, they would be more interested in doing right for themselves and not what the government can do right for them. This thought process is that of a divided mind. They don't view themselves as the government but another, separate entity, much like the woman who calls against "all men" as being separate from her. This is why only TRUE leaders preach of the importance of self-responsibility and being self-reliable because these characteristics are those that are developed from loving oneself. Only successful people have the ability to give so therefore we must support success.

I love the analogy that talks about being on a plane and the steward will explain that when the masks drop, the adult should secure his or her mask on first and then help the child seated next to them. Why? Simple. If you help the helpless first, there is a chance that it might not be successful on the first try. If it doesn't work, that eliminates needed time putting the adult at risk of passing out. If they pass out, so will the child...they both fall down. If the adult worries about themselves first, they can ensure that they will have the time and ability to help the child who is helpless. BOTH stand.

There is a hierarchy and there always has been; there always will be. Liberals are always trying to fight this, instead of embracing it. We must understand that it is a part of us and not separate from us. Once we begin to understand and embrace this, then we can begin to change and improve our lives, as well as helping others.

G-d is love and love is truth. Truth and love are light and that light is what liberals fear the most. They hate the light because the light exposes them for what they are. The woman I spoke of, she doesn't want love because she doesn't love herself and because of that same reason she also doesn't know love either. In the end, the situation was all about her and how she was being affected. It wasn't self-love but rather selfish. Think of the very wealthy who claim they want the government to tax them more so that the government can help the poor. What is it that stops them from pulling out a pen and writing a check themselves? Why does the government have to do what they can do themselves? Well, it's simple really, they don't see themselves as part of the poor but rather separate from them. We are not separated. We are all a part of the whole and if the likes of these people loved themselves they would be able to do what they ask the government to do for them.

So let us always remember that when we are dealing with liberals we must understand that many of them do not know what love is; they do not love themselves; they see themselves separate from others, not a part of them. We must show them the message of true love, not selfishness. We must help them understand that they need to stop worrying about others and worry about themselves. We simply cannot help anyone unless we help ourselves. The government is necessary but not to the point where it destroys us.

I do believe we can turn things around. I do believe that truth will always, eventually trump evil. I do believe we are in a cycle and right now, we may be on the downside of that cycle but this could be a great opportunity for us to regroup and examine ourselves so that we can get out the true message. The message of love is one that can ultimately win everyone over. It is G-d's message, the Lord's message, and the message that The Holy Spirit sends us daily. Most of all, pray. Even though the liberal is the very mind we are trying to save, they are still our enemies because they hate us. Pray for your enemies as the Lord instructed and be patient because they know not what they do-- just yet.

Why I'm Excited About Romney

The election is approaching and all I can think about is how the night is going to play out. As an eternal optimist, I feel Romney will win and I also have a feeling he's going to win big.

Romney was not my first choice in the primary. I actually was not initially impressed by him but as I have gotten to know more about him, I have grown to appreciate him as someone who I believe will not behave like a dictator but rather a leader, which we so desperately need right now in our country.
