Is it time for the Obama Administration to start bailing??? Or should they all just jump-ship, and start doggie-paddling???
The President's plan to allow for the immigration of 10,000 mostly Syrian refugees is meeting more resistance than just my previous post, of yesterday. For the very same reasons that I tried to articulate yesterday, some 26 State Governors have stated that they will refuse to allow these refugees to be settled in their states. Yes, this was mostly along party lines, but there was at least one Democratic Governor among them. Could this be an amazing beginning to a Democratic mutiny of President Obama's absurd concept of "humanitarianism"? Was it a quote from "Poor Richard's Almanac" that went something like, "[humanitarianism] begins at home"??? Mr. President, you do not place the entire American population at risk, just to help some refugees, who most likely agree with the murderous rampage they are fleeing, they just don't want to get caught in the cross-fire. He says, "That's not what we're about." Well, speak for yourself, Barak, because you sure as **** don't speak for me!!!
I recognize that this Gubernatorial rebellion is mostly symbolic, because all these refugees would need is one state that is willing to allow them to be temporarily placed in their borders, and then Obama could be counted on to issue "Executive Orders" to send smaller groups of them to various locations around the country, probably without even notifying their Governors, let alone asking their permission. I would expect something this under-handed from a guy like him! But it is interesting to watch, to see if other Democratic Governors will join the mutiny; could there actually be bipartisan support in Congress for a law forbidding the President from doing this??? And, could there be enough Democrats to override the President's certain veto? How about a Supreme Court challenge to the certain "Executive Order" that would follow? Boy, things just might get interesting in old D.C. if all this came to pass. A Democratic Party mutiny of one of Obama's policies would be a fitting rebuke for the "Obama Legacy" that Joe Biden is so concerned about protecting, once he's gone!!!

We May Need An Amendment To The First Amendmet!!!
All right Rick, what kind of paranoid mumbo-jumbo are you about to spew on your blog readers today?
Just a thought about some concerns that our Founding Fathers never could have imagined would be necessary to address in a so-called "civilized society", with a President who was elected, and subsequently re-elected by a legal majority of our voting populace. When they drew up the Constitution they knew that there might well come a day when an issue that they had not considered would need to be addressed. Perhaps that day has arrived!!!
The murderous rampage that occurred in Paris, France, this weekend goes to show Americans just how vulnerable we are to this kind of attack, anywhere, and at any time, by people who dogmatically believe that God will reward them for committing suicide, and killing hundreds of innocent people in the process, simply because they reside in a nation whose government opposes their evil regime, as does ours (I'm sure that God will reward their behavior, but with the flames of Hell, and not with "72 virgins").
On September 5th, of this year (please check the "Archives" list, to the right of this column), I wrote that I was deeply concerned that the leadership of our country (namely the Obama Administration) could shortly be counted upon to use the Middle-Eastern immigrant flood as an excuse to fling wide their "humanitarian" arms to allow the easy immigration of thousands of refugees of mostly Arabic/Muslim descent, for no more real humanitarian reason than they were potential poor people who would be briefly, at least, dependent upon the "charitable" options of the present Democratic government. Then, the government would decide, sometime before election day that it was too difficult to discern between the legal citizens who could vote, and those illegal, non-citizens who merely pretended to be eligible, and could mostly be counted upon to vote for the "status quo", in order to protect their social benefits from any opposing candidates.
I wrote that this would seem innocent on the surface, but it would be extremely dangerous because these murderous terrorists were well-known to hide in the general populations of their countries, and would likely use this tactic to gain entrance to otherwise peaceful nations, to further export their murderous/suicidal terrorism internationally, and how would our immigration agents be able to detect them, and discern them from the peaceful immigrants, each of whom look essentially identical. This would open a mind-boggling problem that would be extremely dangerous for our country. But, not long after I wrote of my concerns, President Obama (as expected) announced the intentions of his Administration to allow for the "humanitarian" immigration of some ten thousand immigrants from Syria!!! One can only wonder how many I.S.I.S. terrorists will accompany these immigrants, and how many of our innocent citizens will they likely kill, or maim, before they blow themselves up, believing that they will escape just punishment for their crimes. Well, God has the most horrendous form of judgement waiting for them, and His punishment lasts forever!!!
I understand that this is exactly the tactic used by at least one of the terrorists in Paris, as determined by retrieving his fingerprints (probably others, as well, whose remains were not sufficient for fingerprints). This leads me to suggest that the visas and passports of American citizens who can be proven to have traveled to any nation to aid these terrorist organizations should be permanently revoked, and their names be placed on an international "no-travel, and immediate arrest list", along with the known terrorists of other nations, and if the first Amendment to the Constitution restricts our legal ability to do so, on freedom of religion grounds, then an amendment to the Constitution should be made excepting those Religions that preach the "just" murder of those who merely do not share their beliefs. But "fat chance" this President would ever go along with this!!!

Dr. Ben Carson's God
I just finished watching a taped "C-Span" interview of Dr. Ben Carson, which had to have been taped fairly recently (though I didn't catch when) because he referred to the slanderous media attacks that have been made towards him recently, which have only come because the media has finally caught on to the fact that he is really a legitimate contender for the Republican nomination for President, in 2016. I'll admit to some very strong skepticism about his ability to win election (not because he's not good enough, but because he is too good, and the American public doesn't want a truly good president, they want a corrupt President, like Obama, who'll continue the perverse values of our present administration), but he could very well be the Republican nominee, to show us what we could have had, when we elect some perverse loser, like Hillary, or Bernie. This may be part of God's plan to judge America for the avaricious, and immoral policies we've allowed our politicians to foist upon us for the past fifty years, or so.
As I've stated often before, I don't see how God can allow the Antichrist to come to power over his One-World government (which is clearly prophesied in the Bible) while America stands as the preeminent economic, and military force in the world. I acknowledge the fact that He doesn't need me to understand what He's about to do, but it seems that He must have allowed Obama's corrupt, and immoral administration to come to power, and be re-elected, for a reason. We have seen so many of our constitutional values trampled upon, and many others to be verbally attacked (which indicates that they are next on this administration's agenda) that I don't logically see how God can allow this to happen to an America that loves Him, and fears Him (in the sense that we have an awesome respect for his power). That may be precisely His point! He may be allowing us to elect the corrupt idiots that we want, in order to show us what we get when we purposely leave him out of the equation. Dr. Ben Carson does not qualify in any respect as one of these "corrupt idiots"; we must turn to the Democratic party for that!!! Of course, we have to eliminate Donald Trump from consideration, but we have almost a whole year of public appearances left for his mouth to accomplish that feat for us, by himself!
But, I have become very impressed with Dr. Carson's obviously honest faith, and his intelligence is even more unquestionable than Obama's. The major difference between these two men is not their level of intelligence, but their acquired wisdom, which only comes with a deep and abiding faith in the God of the Bible, and not in the false god of the Koran, which I am still convinced is Obama's true religion, no matter how much he professes the contrary. Jesus said, "by their fruits ye shall know them" referring to how His disciples would discern the true believers from the "wolves, in sheeps' clothing". "Fruits" was meant to collectively include what a person says, combined with what he actually does. While we are all guilty of occasional hypocrisy, for which we must ask the Lord's forgiveness, when he makes us recognize it, that is different from living a lifestyle of constant unrepentant hypocrisy, and that is how Jesus meant we would discern the "sheep" from the "wolves". Dr. Ben Carson is a legitimate believer, who is eminently qualified to be our next president, which is why I cynically believe he will not be elected, for the reasons that I've just stated. I truly hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so!
