It is way past time to pay the Federal bureaucracy it's comeuppance, and I'm afraid it may necessitate the firing of the whole bunch of them, the good, as well as the bad, to clean the whole house of the cr**! The source of the problem it appears to me, is not within Congress, that can be addressed by the filibustering of future debt ceiling legislation. That may have been well-intended as a painful demonstration, in the past, but what did it accomplish, except a lot of political animosity between those Republicans who pretend to be Conservative, and those who truly are, but feel their hands are tied by the rest of Congress; and the Democrats, who simply like the Federal chaos that has been largely created by themselves, and their predecessors.
I suspect the real source of the problem is not the Congress, as a whole, but in the Government Employee's Contracts that have been negotiated, in bad faith, by the Government Employees Union, which over time has made it virtually impossible to, "throw the rascals out", by firing those bureaucrats who are demonstrably guilty of malfeasance, and corruption, such as has been reported at various branches of the Government, the most shocking examples being in the I.R.S., and the Veterans Administration, in which political vendettas and illegal corruption is rampant, and those who are obviously guilty are not fired, let alone prosecuted, when warranted. Political appointees are sometimes fingered for the excesses of their underlings, guilty, or not, but the bureaucrats are not punished in any significant manner. Why is this??? It seems obvious to me that there are contractual restrictions that prevent the firing of these bureaucratic incompetents, and even criminals, or make it so difficult to accomplish that the decision is made that it is just not worth the effort. I understand the importance of protecting career bureaucrats from the potential of being fired simply because they were hired by a political opponent, in a previous administration. But, if their contract has gone so far beyond that that it is virtually impossible to fire anybody, for any reason, no matter how deserving their behavior is, then we have the "tyranny of the Bureaucracy" that we have today. The only solution,
as I see it, is to repudiate all employee contracts of the past, and rehire only those bureaucrats who will sign a new contract that allows their firing for certain acts of incompetence, and downright criminal behavior, and criminal negligence (as we've seen is rampant in the V.A., lately). This will certainly bring many lawsuits by the Employees' Union, and will require endless appeals to higher courts, all the way up through the Supreme Court, which can not be counted upon to rule conservatively, as we've seen recently. But, most of the good bureaucrats (including those who will belligerently support their union's contracts) will probably sign the new contract rather than be unemployed, while awaiting a final judgement. I suspect that enough of them will sign that the Government will be able to function well, with the remaining jobs filled by others, who will be on notice that their job security depends upon their good, and legal performance. And perhaps a congressional threat to either "pack the court" with more conservative justices, or to form a Constitutional Convention to discuss a possible amendment allowing for the removal of the lifetime terms of the Justices (perhaps a bluff in this regard will be sufficient to swing a responsible decision) perhaps will result in an end to this absurd contractual overreach by the corrupt trade union of the employees, serving notice to all that "We the people..." mean to take back control of our government, both through political, and legal means!!!
It's time for us to take back the ability to "throw the rascals out", instead of our lazy congressmen simply signing a contract to keep the status quo, and avoid the hassle of Union trouble. And I strongly suspect there is some level of organized crime involved here!

Jesus Loves Muslims, Too!!!
Three days ago I wrote of my concern that we might well be facing an imminent Black/White race war in America, due to the vast movement away from the overwhelming Christian faith of the newly freed slaves of the Confederacy, after the civil war. As bad as slavery was, for the Blacks, one good did come out of it. An overwhelming Christian revival exploded among these slaves, probably from overhearing their White owners talking among themselves, and even overhearing the Gospel preached, while they waited to serve their masters, who were apparently devout believers, whether their faith could justify their slave ownership, or not. After all, Jesus came to save the poor, and the oppressed primarily, and who fit the bill at that time more than the slaves of the South? Yet their descendants have repudiated the faith of their ancestors because the apparent passivity of their parents, during the "Jim Crow" era, which led to the castigation of "Uncle Tom" being attached to those who tolerated the further persecution of that time. While their outrage was surely just, their reaction to the persecution, in being offended towards Christianity was foolish, as it drove many into the cultish search for an alternative religion, to that of their parents' "White Man's religion" (the frequent portrayal on church bulletins of Jesus, as a blue-eyed, and even blond-haired young man surely didn't help matters either). The result is the movement of many American Blacks into cultish Black Muslim "churches",like the one Obama reputedly attended for twenty some-odd years, in Chicago, where the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright preached what was reputed to be a blend of Christian, Muslim, and Socialist values, or the "Nation of Islam". As a result, we have a hot bed of potentially radical Islamic terrorists, especially the hot-blooded teen-agers, who believe that everything Muslim is good, and everything Christian is evil (regardless of whether they associate Christianity with Whites, today, or not.
I may have spoken rashly, when I said we may be in danger of a race war. A report on today's "700 Club" may have been God's way of correcting me, and reminding me that He is still in control. A story of Muslims having dreams and visions of Jesus calling them to believe in Him, and their willingly obeying His call, in spite of the threat of a death sentence in their countries for anyone who does so, inspired me to wonder if this whole threat of I.S.I.S., and Al Quaida terrorism is not being used by God to offend any so-called "moderate" Muslims who have simply ignored the violent terms of their religion, and now are forced to either embrace them, or look elsewhere for a true faith of peace.
If it can happen in countries where "Sharia Law" demands the death of any Muslims who convert to Christianity, then it can certainly happen here!!! We, as Christians must be prepared to share the Gospel, in love, to any questioning Blacks, no matter how apparently hostile they might be to it, at first. I suspect that Jesus appears in dreams, and visions in countries where Christian Missionaries are not allowed to preach, but in countries like ours, He probably expects us to do the work for Him. With the help of the Holy Spirit, this should be easily done, and we may turn this country back to a revived Christian faith, yet!!!

Are We In Danger Of An All-Out Race War???
I am writing this post with a feeling of great "fear and trepidation", not for the error of my concerns, but for the potential of great wrong to be taken from what I am about to write, by those who would twist my meaning to suit their own perverse agendas. However, the peril exists today at such an obviously high level that I feel it must be openly examined by those who would keep cooler heads in the midst of great turbulence. I am concerned that America is running a great risk today of descending into an all-out race war that would be both senseless, and unnecessary, and potentially very bloody for all those involved. (I don't mean to side with either the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton, or the K.K.K./White Supremacist clans, either way!)
I am also convinced that this is the main reason the the Obama administration is so blatantly reluctant to call obvious acts of terrorism, like the rampage in San Bernardino, Ca. this past week by it's obviously correct title. The pathetic vacillation of the Federal investigators, who probably recognize an act of domestic terrorism when they see it, but are reluctant to call it such without conclusive overwhelming proof, indicates to me that they fear retribution from higher administration officials if they should incorrectly brand something as terrorism, which turns out not to be provable. This kind of official paranoia must have a deep concern behind it, and I can think of only one possible issue that may cause it.
Traditionally, many African-Americans have gravitated away from the Christian faith of the newly freed slaves, after the Civil War, because of their resentment of the "Uncle Tom" stigma so easily attached to any southern Blacks who seemed to embrace any of the values of their former white slave owners. They didn't seem to consider that these slave owners might simply be confused between their Christian values, and their material loss of economic power with the loss of their cheap labor source. It was too easy to blame their former slave owners' religious views for their racism, instead of realizing that their economic concerns were corrupting their Christian values. So, it was too easy to seek out another religion (since, "all roads lead to heaven", anyway [yeah right, guess again, folks]), and thus we have the acceptance of the Black Muslim belief system that led to the formation of large congregations such as the Nation of Islam, and the "church" that the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright pastored, in Chicago, which was reputed to have been attended by Barak Obama for some twenty years. Even if "Reverend" Wright tried to mix Christian principles in with his reputed blend of Islam, and Socialism, what he had to have ended up with was nowhere near the truth of the Gospel.
But since there has been such a wide-spread acceptance of Islamic principles in the Black communities, there is a real risk that this recent trend of mostly youthful exuberance to support I.S.I.S., and Al Quaida internationally could spread to the Black Muslim community, as well. Satan is certainly well aware of this potential, and I suspect that he is using all these cases lately of Police brutality (mostly in the Mid-West, but Baltimore as well) between white officers, especially, against blacks, who may have been unarmed, and even innocent, to stir up latent reverse-racism hatred. Mix this hatred together with the appearance that the long-"prophecied" coming of their Muslim "Mahdi" (the Islamic equivalent of their Messiah), to take over the world, and kill all of us wretched, non-believing Infidels, and you have the basis for some bitter black Muslims to follow the recent trend of the lone-wolf terrorists, to become blatant murderers, and even suicide bombers. After all, they would believe they would escape legal punishment, and be rewarded with the Muslim concept of 72 virgins for their "sacrifice". The Biblical concept of "Thou shalt not kill (meaning murder)" bares no relevance to them. (I have to wonder if the female suicide bombers expect to get 72 bumbling, teen-aged husbands for their efforts, or does Islam allow for 72 Lesbian lovers in their concept of "Paradise"?)
One can easily see how this could easily become a chaotic Black/White race war, which would suit the Islamic terrorists just fine, as it would divert America's attention from the international war on terrorism. That's probably why both the Obama administration, and the Bush administration before them, tried so hard to delineate between "Radical Islam" and main stream Islam, which they categorized as, "a religion of peace". True, for those who believe in Islam, only; but for the rest of us "evil infidels" it's open season, and the more of us are beheaded, the better, in their judgement! I'm sorry, but I have trouble calling that a "religion of peace"! They even don't allow for "denominational differences", which is why they fight among themselves (Sunnis verses Shiites, etc.).
The bottom line for us now is that we will need to be much in prayer, for the foreseeable future. This could all blow up upon us very easily, or the Lord could deliver Israel from the murderous threat of the armies (and terrorist Militias) that surround them, which are mostly Muslim, which might cause the Muslims around the world to have second thoughts about their "religion of peace", at least for several years! (Check the Archives list for more on my guesses about how this could all turn out, based on the Ezekiel 38, & 39 Prophecies, if I'm reading my Bible correctly.)

Lunacy In High Places
One has to wonder what makes the "Brain Trust" of the White House, and the Left (in general), tick. It is certainly not for lack of intelligence, or insufficient education (though the perspective of schools such as Harvard is certainly debatable). I tend to categorize this deficiency as "Dogmatic Lunacy" (meaning that the proponents choose to reject common sense logic, in favor of comfortable dogma, with the rationale that only the intellectually sophisticated (most of whom reside, pompously, in the Democratic party) can understand their reasoning. But, in order to sway the voting public (which includes the rest of us "intellectually deficient" poor souls), they commonly try to publicly attach an unpopular concept (such as the expense of "fighting Global Warming") with a concern that is widely shared by the Left, and Conservatives, alike.
Such seems to be the case with the most recent effort by President Obama to attach our concern for the fight against I.S.I.S., and other International Terrorist organizations, with his intentions to spend millions, if not billions, of taxpayer dollars on the "fight" to stop "Global Warming". He seems determined to try and equate the threat of encroaching "Global Warming", which may seem hard to fear, in the immediate future, at least, with the obvious threat of runaway murderous terrorists trying to kill us, simply because we reject their foul false religion.
I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I can't get as worked up about someone knocking on my door to warn me that the earth is getting warmer, as I would be if a terrorist showed up with a butcher knife, wanting to decapitate me, for the "glory of Allah"!!! Where is the logical perspective of the Left???
The obvious truth is the the Left, in general, and the White House in particular are adamant in their obsession with spending our money on boondoggles such as wind turbines, which work, but are no where near cost-effectiveness, and they are not at all determined to really fight the Muslim hoards at the gates. I guess it all boils down to one's perspective of Prophetic beliefs, and the fulfillment of Prophecy in our time. If one believes (as I am convinced that Obama does) that the world will soon be "saved" by the coming "Mahdi" prophecied by the Koran, then it makes sense to distract us all from our natural fears of those who are attempting to set the stage for "his coming". Give us something else to concern ourselves with, such as "Global Warming" and maybe we'll become so obsessed with this that the terrorists will have time to behead all of us who resist them. The concept of "saving us" apparently only extends to those who believe in Islam, or those who will lie about it to save their lives. The reversal of the effects of "Global Warming" then becomes crucial for those that expect to live in their Muslim concept of a Utopian world.
As a believer that Jesus Christ is coming soon, beginning with God's destruction of the armies that surround Israel, who intend to murder all the Jews, I have to reject that Muslim concept of "Prophecy". It's either one, or the other, they conflict as totally as can be! They can't both be true, and I know "in whom I do believe". When Jesus does return, to establish His 1000-year "Millennial Kingdom", He is prophecied to create "a new heaven (the earth's atmosphere, referred to Biblically as the "first heaven", of the three levels of heaven God created), and a new earth". I don 't think we'll have too much trouble dealing with any more "Global Warming" then. And He will not have to tax us to smithereens to pay for it.
That does not give us, as believers, the freedom to ruin this planet today, because "Jesus is gonna fix it all when He comes". There is still our responsibility to be "good stewards" of God's creation while we wait for the Lord's return. However, the Left want to go way beyond the reasonable efforts of stewardship, to reverse something that they will eventually fail at anyway, as long as they don't have to pay for it all themselves (let the nameless, faceless Taxpayers pay for it all), while they destroy our economy and allow "developing economies" (like China) to increase their polluting ways, in order to grow their economies, at our expense. I guess they would all rather live under a communist regime, anyway! I wish they would all just go live in China, and leave America alone!!!

Cracks In The Hull Of The "Good Ship: 'Obama Administration' "???
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!!!

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!
