The Wealthiest People In The World

Posted by Ikester on Saturday, April 25, 2009 1:33:49 PM
I find it interesting that of the top twenty-five richest people in the world, fourteen of them are American citizens. Here is the list of the top ten.

William Gates III 46 billion

Warren Buffet 42.6 billion

Karl Albrecht - German 23 billion

Prince Alwaleed Ben Talol Alsaud - Saudi Arabia - 21.5 billion

Paul Allen  21 billion

Now, the next five (5) will surprise you, they are all one family.

Alice Walton daughter of Sam Walton 20 billion

Helen Walton Sam's widow 20 billion

Jim Walton son 20 billion

John Walton son 20 billion

S. Robson Walton oldest son 20 billion

Put the Waltons all together you have 100 billion in wealth

You and I put the money in most of these richest people's pockets.

It is interesting that Bill Gates and his wife are the prime supporters of Planned Parenthood. His father served on the board in his lifetime. It is sad to think that they are supporting the wholesale murder of innocent babies in the womb. I wonder how they sleep at night.

Wal-Mart aligned itself with the gay and lesbian movement some time back but public pressure forced them to back down some.

Warren Buffet and George 'Schwartz' Soros spend huge amounts of their wealth on liberal causes like trying to buy Al Gore's election in 2004, but Gore lost. At least he put some of his money back into the economy. He fought Mr. Bush all the way because he felt that Bush's support of Israel was causing more Anti-Semitism. The very opposite is true. Islam will never stop persecuting Israel and the Jews until they destroy every one, which is impossible since they are still God's chosen people. They will NEVER be destroyed, nor will Israel cease to exist. As a matter of fact, the last battle on earth will be fought against Israel but God Himself intervenes and saves Israel and obliterates their enemies.

Time For Leftist New York Times To Be Put To Bed

Posted by Ikester on Saturday, April 25, 2009 1:12:15 PM
It is interesting to watch all the leftist newspapers, magazines and networks lose readers and viewers. They literally stole the election for Obama through the twisting of information and by ignoring major stories exposing him for what he was: inexperienced, extreme leftist, Socialist and tied in with the corrupt Chicago political machine. There was little or no coverage on his birth certificate issue or why he sealed them and his college records. They won the election for him but now they are loosing their shirts for it. The American public is not stupid as these folks think that they are. We know it when we are being scammed and they tried to scam us but now the chickens are coming home to roost. I shed no tears for the Times or any other liberal news source. I say good riddance to bad garbage.

Great Question For Al Gore To Answer

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 24, 2009 4:41:50 PM
Al Gore just testified before the House concerning global warming. He pushed an issue that there was a massive fraud fourteen years ago by the biggest polluters which netted them billions of dollars. I wish that they had asked him how much he has profited by his campaign on global warming. When he lost to Mr. Bush, his net worth was listed at $800,000. Last year he invested thirty-five million into Capricorn Investments Group, according to Bloomburg. Now, if he has that kind of cash to invest, what is his net worth now? He is very tight lipped about such things. Now, Mr Gore, would you answer the question: How much have you made off the global warming hoax? Huh???

Sheer Hypocracy Of Liberals On Homosexual Marriage

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 24, 2009 1:05:28 PM
It seems that today there is a daily issue that dominates the rag media of America. Today it is Miss California's honest answer. The talking heads on shows and news (if you can still call it so) are all criticizing her for saying that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Well, what the heck! Barack Hussein Obama, at the political forum before the election, said the SAME THING as did John McCain. "Marriage should be between a man and a woman," was said without further clarification. It is obvious that Obama was lying about it since he is openly pushing the homosexual agenda, but let a Christian speak their true feelings and the libs want to crucify her.

Hate Crime Laws Ignore The Rule Of Law

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 24, 2009 12:35:23 PM
This hate crimes legislation that is going through congress presently is out of touch with the rule of law that Americans have followed since 1620. Anytime we take a chosen lifestyle and make it an issue that removes the freedom of speech from the vast majority of citizens. Martin Luther King Jr. said the following concerning the rule of law or natural law versus unjust laws.
 
"A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in terms of Saint Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law."
 
This is bad legislation and is part of the homosexual agenda that is being forced on the 98% of Americans who are not homosexuals. For the life of me I cannot understand how 0.8%, the percentage from the last census, can control the 99% of Americans. I feel that far too many people have fallen victim of the political correctness madness that we are drowning in presently. It is time to let our congress people know our opinions on this, one way or the other. After all, this is the biggest threat to the freedom of speech that we have ever faced in the history of our nation.
 
A REPUBLIC is ruled by the Rule of Law, not just a select few who want to force their agenda on the majority. It is time to reestablish our Republic of America, not the Democracy of America.

For Christians And Jews Only

Posted by Ikester on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 4:59:09 PM
God on crossdressing:
"A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God."  Deuteronomy 22:5
 
God on cutting yourself and getting tattoos:
"You shall not make any cuts in our body for the dead nor make any tattoo markes on yourselves: I am the LORD."  Leviticus 19:28
 
It is a sad commentary on those who should know better when even prominent pastors and religious leaders openly promote this and some because their son-in-law is a tattoo artist. Now, who is right, God or religious leaders? Who has been around longer?

MSNBC's Mitchell Dodges Feinstein Corruption

Posted by Ikester on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 4:53:06 PM

When this year's Congress convened for the first time, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a sweetheart contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms. When Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC interviewed Feinstein concerning possible prosecution of Bush administration officials concerning torture methods, she failed to even mention a far more serious issue, that of outright corruption by the Senator from California. Why would Mitchell avoid such an issue? Outright bias and protectionism of corrupt liberals in Congress. And they wonder why the American taxpayer/citizen is attending TEA parties. Go figure!

Carville Thinks That Only Old Cogers Attended Tea Parties

Posted by Ikester on Monday, April 20, 2009 9:59:32 PM
James Carville was on CNN recently and made the statement that only 72 year old cogers were in attendance, with a few children shoved up to the front of the crowd for the cameras. Wlll Mr. Carville, I was at a TEA party in Texas and it was a broad spectrum of folks from the cradle to very senior citizens. The vast majority were from high school to forty something. It would do well for people like Carville to actually drive by or show up to one of these before commenting on them. Thank you!

Another Question For Evolutionists

Posted by Ikester on Monday, April 20, 2009 6:13:34 PM
Why do men have beards and women do not? Why are males and females so uniquely designed to reproduce? Where does sexual pleasure come from? Just a few wrenches in the gears of evolution.

A Question For Evolutionists

Posted by Ikester on Monday, April 20, 2009 6:08:30 PM
How did electric fish and eels develop their electrical charge? The South American electric eel packs a wallop of 600 volts, enough to knock a horse off its feet. Where did it get the ability to do this and how does it work? All the indications are that a Supreme Intelligence designed it just the way it is. Just for the record, the answer can be found in Genesis 1:1.

Obama's Drop In The Bucket

Posted by Ikester on Monday, April 20, 2009 6:06:21 PM
Mr. Obama has a confidence problem, alright, but it ain't going to be fixed by shaving $100,000,000 off the budget. It has to do with his apology tour, his blatant attack on pro-life issues, his stimulus package, his firing GM's CEO and on and on and on and on!
He has a huge problem and if he thinks that shaving a few bucks off the budget is going to fix the problem, well he has another think coming. If he wants to win the American people's confidence then he had better start representing the desires of all of us and stop slandering us. He needs to get rid of his Homeland Security director for her deliberate slamming of decent citizens and our military troops. He is about as Un-American as he can get. His south of the border trip demonstrated his utter contempt for us as a nation. His wife made the statement that she has never been proud of America until her husband was running for president and now he is showing the same attitude toward our wonderful nation. I am a veteran and I am personally offended by this 'security risk' assessment. I called the White House with my comments just in case you think that I am only griping on line. It does take some time to get through but it is possible. We all need to light up the switchboard daily until he becomes proud of the nation he is supposed to serve.
To many, he is still an illigitimate president since he has yet to unseal his birth records and his college and grad school records. Just what is he trying to hide? The White House web site states that they are sealed for national security reasons. What does that mean? If we knew the truth that it would create an international incident or something? It would shake up the world if he turns out to be a citizen, wouldn't it?

Early American Education: Harvard's Requirements

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 17, 2009 11:10:30 AM
The Rules and Precepts that were observed at Harvard University, September 26, 1642, stated: 

1. When any Schollar...is able to make (write) and speak true Latine in Verse and Prose....And decline perfectly the paradigims of Nounes and Verbes in the Greek tongue...(he is capable) of admission into the college. 

2. Let every Student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the maine end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal! life, John 17:3 and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisedome, Let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seeke it of him Prov. 2, 3. 

3. Every one shall so exercise himselfe in reading the Scriptures twice a day, that he shall be ready to give such an account of his proficiency therein, both in Theoreticall observations of Language and Logick, and in practical! and spiritual! truths, as his Tutor shall require, according to his ability; seeing the entrance of the word giveth light, it giveth understanding to the simple, Psalm, 119:130. 

4. That they eshewing all profanation of Gods name, Attributes, Word, Ordinances, and times of Worship, do studie with good conscience carefully to retaine God, and the love of his truth in their minces, else let them know, that (notwithstanding their Learning) God may give them up to strong delusions, and in the end to a reprobate mince, 2 Thes. 2:11,12. Rom. 1:28. 

5. That they studiously redeeme the time; observe the general! houres...diligently attend the Lectures, without any disturbance by word or gesture.... 

6. None shall...frequent the company and society of such men as lead an unfit, and dissolute life. Nor shall any without his Tutors leave, or without the call of Parents or Guardians, goe abroad to other Townes. 

7. Every Scholar shall be present in his Tutors chamber at the 7th houre in the morning, immediately after the sound of the Bell, at his opening the Scripture and prayer, so also at the 5th houre at night, and then give account of his owne private reading....But if any...shall absent himself from prayer or Lectures, he shall bee lyable to Admonition, if he offend above once a weeke. 

8. If any Scholar shall be found to transgresse any of the Lawes of God, or the Schoole...he may bee admonished at the publick monethly Act."

1636. Old South Leaflets: Peter G. Mode, "Sourcebook and Biographical Guide For American Church History" (Menasha, WI: George Banta Publishing Co., 1991) pp. 74-75
 
Has Harvard University deviated from its founding principles today? The walls of Harvard still have the Scriptures engraved in them but selective vines cover key parts of them, like the references for instance. I know of a public school in California that has a Scripture verse engraved in the stones at the entrance of the school and most think that they are just a wise saying. They are just that but from the pen of God Himself. And He is the one that atheists are trying to drive out of all education today. Do we need an awakening in America again to restore us to our godly heritage? You bet you life we do!

American Education From The Humanist Perspective

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 17, 2009 10:56:48 AM
"Education is the most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public school is a school of Humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?"
--Charles Francis Potter, a leading Humanist, in his book, Humanism: A New Religion.
 
Well, there you have it folks, right from the horse's mouth! The raw humanist agenda for our public schools in simple language has just been given to you. Do you think that it is time for VOUCHERS so that we can choose to refuse the humanist agenda? Put the heat on your state legislature and governor. Things change when the heat raises folks! These folks think that they are really in charge now and there is nothing that we can do about it. Think again!
 
PS: Most children do not have the opportunity of the one hour in Sunday School today because their parents do not consider it that important. Think again! If they receive no moral or religious training then they will be total victims of the humanist agenda. Where does the Bible fit into your personal life? That is where it will fit into your children's lives as well.

More History Lessons On Education In America

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 17, 2009 10:47:55 AM
"The free public schools of America are outgrowths of the parochial or pastoral schools of puritan New England, which were established by our forefathers to prepare their children for becoming useful members of society and the church. Nurtured in the lap of the church, these schools soon became so necessary to society at large that the church reluctantly relinquished her claim upon the elementary schools, and turned them over to the care of the commonwealths, retaining for herself the higher institutions of learning--the academies and colleges.

Whether this was wise or not it is not our purpose to discuss, further than to remark that, if the study of the Bible is to be excluded from all State schools, if the inculcation of the principles of Christianity is to have no place in the daily programme, if the worship of God is to form no part of the general exercises of these public elementary schools, then the good of the State would be better served by restoring all schools to church control."
--Kansas Teachers Union of 1892

So, is this the philosophy of teachers' unions today? Not on your life! Their philosophy is to rid public schools of any mention of Christianity and even to rewrite American history so as to erase all references to Christianity. You see, these unions are run by atheists and therefore hate Christianity. On the other hand, Islam is now being promoted throughout the public system. Does anyone see an agenda forming here? It takes a liar to rewrite history doesn't it? It also takes a liar to deny the holocaust doesn't it? So why promote a religion that would deny historical events? It fits perfectly with the philosophy of teachers' unions across America.

So, will we do anything to change this or will we just whine about it? There are still legal channels to pursue such as voting out school boards who refuse to buy text books that tell the truth about American and world history, running for public office and legislating truth back into society and a number of other means. Don't just sit there, do something!

PS: Don't get me started about what is taught in science books in our schools. Evolution is the biggest lie that our kids are being forced to learn. There is NO evidence for evolution yet entire generations have not been allowed to learn about other theories and evidence. It this right America?

Another History Lesson From Those 'Atheist' Founding Fathers

Posted by Ikester on Friday, April 17, 2009 10:29:50 AM
"He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of Christianity will change the face of the world."  Benjamin Franklin
