The Death Panels issue is a hot topic on the talk shows and news programs currently, but they seem to forget that this is not a NEW thing for the Liberals in congress. Back in 1973, the Liberals pushed through the Supreme Court an equally evil idea that it was ok to murder the unborn babies in their mother's wombs without any legal consequences. This led to an even more invasive run of evil ideas such as Doe v. Bolton, partial birth abortion and the RU-486 pill etc. etc. Liberals, such as California's Boxer, Feinstein, Waxman and Pelosi have pushed this evil on the American public. It is interesting that most of these folks are JEWS. You would think that after WWII and Hitler's death camps against Jews and other "so-called inferior" people groups, which I hasten to say are NOT INFERIOR in any way, this would make Jews more sensitive to the killing of innocent people. Since 1973 abortion slaughter houses have MURDERED over 40 MILLION American citizens, citizens who could now be helping to pay for Social Security etc. This massive number of dead citizens could be contributing to the overall prosperity of our land. The issue at the root of Planned Parenthood was the ELIMINATION OF HUMAN WEEDS, according to the founder Margaret Sanger. All one has to do is go on line and search for an article from the Wall Street Journal entitled, "The Repackaging Of Margaret Sanger," to get the full impact of what she set out to do. You see, you could classify Planned Parenthood as ETHNIC CLEANSING because she classified blacks and Asians as two groups worthy of stamping them out by not allowing them to BREED, as she put it.
If you don't accept this fact, you need merely to do another search for The Negro Project to get it from black people in America who will give it to you straight.
It is sad to get the report today that 41% of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion/murder. The VAST MAJORITY OF THESE ABORTIONS ARE FROM ETHNIC GROUPS. This bears out the fact that ETHNIC CLEANSING IS STILL GOING ON UNCHECKED. Now the Obama administration wants to push END OF LIFE COUNSELING for senior citizens. This is simply the Liberal's way of saying to old people, who are sick, you are no longer worth saving by giving you end of life care so we want to get Dr. Death/Jack Kevorkian to help you end your own life. It is already legal in many parts of Europe and of course in Oregon to do this legally.
What ever happened to "LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS"? The Liberal does not see the Constitution as worth enforcing and even goes against its very content. The Socialist state allows this to go on, but WAIT! THIS IS NOT A COMMUNIST NATION, IT IS AMERICA!!!!! Only the PEOPLE can stop this insanity and we need to melt down the phones of any congress person who will vote against repealing Obamacare, which contains public funding for abortion and pushes end of life counseling. Tell your elected official that in only two years there will be another election and to let the results of this past election be a warning to them as to what the American people will do at the polls if they keep this monstrosity in effect. The voice of the people is still the most powerful force in our land, second only to the voice of God Himself, who by the way is AGAINST THESE HIDEOUS EVILS!

It is amazing to see how one person can begin to change an entire industry with the misuse of a word. This word is "motor". If you read car magazines or listen to people speak about automobiles or motorcycles you will hear the word MOTOR used regularly. This is a HUGE error in words.
According to the dictionary, a motor is one that depends on an outside power source such as electricity. This is why an electric motor is so named. On the other hand, an ENGINE is one that produces its own power from internal combustion etc. This makes the auto power source a gasoline ENGINE, NOT a MOTOR! Harley Davidson even has this error in its own name, Harley Davidson Motorcycles. It should be an engine cycle, but that sounds weird, right? Well, it all depends on whether you want to speak intelligently or keep using ignorance in communication.

I was at a VW dealer service department recently for some repair when the topic of Ethanol came up. The service writer immediately snapped back that this stuff can cause engine damage by drying out seals etc. in the engine and cause it to start leaking and pulling the moisture out of the oil to cause other damage. I did a bit of research since writing this blog and found an article in Popular Mechanics magazine on this very issue. It seems that Ethanol is already in almost every gallon of gas that we buy today at a 90/10 ratio. It seems that the Ethanol has a tendency to cause condensation in your gas tank and the water can cause your tank to bulge or split and the fuel substitute can gum up your fuel system as well. The article says that this has been an ongoing problem since its introduction into our gas.
This is so typical of government bureaucrats to push something like this on us without concern for the negative effects on consumers. Let's keep eating corn and stop burning it in our gas tanks. Who knows what effects it will have on the environment.  It could turn the air 'yellow' after all!!! Ha ha!

What a great day to be alive! Nancy Pelosi is now just a representative like the others and we have a new Speaker who will not fly around in his private Air Force jet but will take public transport to his destinations, according to his own words. For the first time in a while we will actually have control of the House and a close tie in the Senate. Maybe Obamacare can actually be repealed if enough Dems are smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall of their upcoming election. It is great to have he Constitution read on the floor of the House and asked to commit to abiding by it in all things done in the House. Maybe someone will do the same in the Senate. Most liberals have forgotten that this is the Rock of Gibraltar by our Founding Fathers and it is NOT a flexible document but one that is immovable. It is similar to the Ten Commandments in the Bible. It is said that people do not break the Ten Commandments but are broken BY them if they ignore them!
The same holds true for the Socialists in our Congress: they will ALL be broken by the Constitution IF they ignore it when the next election comes around. WE THE PEOPLE are sick of business as usual and the attempt to turn America into a Socialist State. We WILL NOT allow this to happen. We are freedom loving people and the Constitution is our document of freedom and we will see to it that our elected officials adhere to what it says.

He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16

Lest we forget the real meaning of Christmas, it was God who was the gift giver, He gave His only Son, Jesus/Yeshua, the ULTIMATE gift, the gift that keeps on giving, the gift you give to the person who THINKS they have everything.

Don't let another Christmas go by without receiving this ULTIMATE gift for yourself, eternal life through Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach! He alone can take away our sins and fill our lives with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Merry Christmas to one and all. Ikester

It is amazing to hear preachers today dance around critical issues. The Bible refers to such preachers as 'ear ticklers', in other words, just telling people what they want to hear rather than telling them what they NEED to hear. There are still many preachers who are as bold as lions in speaking the truth. Unfortunately, there are also those who choose to condemn and beat over the head with truth so that it turns them away from the truth. There has to be a middle ground where preachers stop preaching the so-called 'feel good' sermons and begin to preach and teach the whole Bible once again.

Today, whole denominations have caved in to political correctness rather than biblical correctness. The Bible is truly a book filled with the love of God and describes the God of love clearly. But like loving parents, there are times when He has to speak of correction and ultimately punishment for deliberate disobedience. When parents refuse to spank a child who is deliberately being a brat they ultimately destroy their own child. They grow up thinking they can do what they please and our prisons are filled with such children today.
The most critical issues in society today are being largely ignored in churches today. They refuse to speak on homosexuality, abortion, adultery, judgment, accountability for our sinful behaviors and many other such issues. The word Hell has been removed from preachers' vocabulary because it might OFFEND SOMEONE! This is much like a doctor refusing to tell his or her patient that they have a deadly disease that will kill them if not dealt with soon. This is malpractice inn the medical field and I call it spiritual malpractice in the spiritual field. Abortion is the act of murdering an unborn baby and homosexuality is the most self-destructive behavior that can be done. The lifespan of homosexuals is drastically less than a heterosexual person who lives a moral lifestyle. All too often, when we speak of homosexuality as a sin, we fail to include heterosexual sin, such as shaking up with someone you are not married to or the one night stand situation. Sexual sin takes many forms, including masturbation. In order to do this you have to have a mental image of someone in a sexual situation, whether video, internet or mental picture. The Bible says if you have sex with someone in your mind it is the same thing as having sex with them physically since it is a mental thing anyway. Folks who are heterosexual and get married and remain sexually loyal to them, have NO STDs! Folks who have homosexual leanings need to get help from counselors who will tell them the truth as to how to get out of this situation. Folks like Exodus International, Focus on the Family and other competent organizations have led thousands of people out of the homosexual lifestyle to freedom and happiness.

My goal in writing this article is to express my love for all people, no matter what sin they are addicted to presently. Jesus/Yeshua came to earth to free mankind from their sins because He, as the creator, knew the devastating effects of sexual sin, such as AIDS and other STDs that today kill multiplied thousands of people each year. I saw an AIDS ward in Uganda, Africa and it stuck with me for months afterward. They were like the folks in Nazi death camps and each one had TB on top of this since their immune systems were shot. I truly love all human beings and care deeply that they live happy and healthy lives.

It is amazing to see how even Bible translators have caved into PC today. Zondervan has published a gender neutral Bible, which is an abomination to accurate biblical translation. They did this simply to appease the feminist movement and made God an IT, essentially. This is shameful and adds up to nothing more than a desire to make money by perverting the Word of God.
Preachers today need to remember what was said of Jesus/Yeshua.

"... for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes."  Matthew 7:29

Jesus/Yeshua amazed people because He did not mince words with them. He knew nothing of what is today called Seeker Sensitive messages, for He spoke the gentle messages and the ones that knocked them off their feet with bold truth. Preachers today need this same loving boldness. The Bible tells us "to speak the truth in love."  Ephesians 4:15  This is always the best policy in any part of life.

My goal is to always speak the truth in love and this is what I have done in this article. The written page is hard way to communicate love since you cannot know the person writing it. I hope that the tone of my heart has come through and I want you to know the loving God that I met just before Christmas in 1974. He stands ready to forgive you of all your past sins and to adopt you into His forever family. He loves all people and desires that they all come to Him. Take the time today to read the Gospel of John or the book of Romans to get the feel of His great love for you. If you have questions or want to further communicate, feel free to reply to this blog.

I lived in the Golden State for forty years of my life and I love the state dearly. However, I moved to Texas four years ago and found that this state is one that still exercises wisdom that once existed in California.

How can the citizens of California be so stupid? They demonstrated this in the last election by electing Jerry Brown for its governor. This man is one of the most left leaning, dirty dealing politicians around today. It was not the people of LA or San Fran that elected him, it was the WHOLE POPULATION of voters. I know and love many wonderful conservatives in the state and I know that they did NOT vote for him or Barbara Boxer or Henry Waxman or Maxine Waters or Nancy Pelosi. So how is it that so many citizens of this great state have lost all rational thinking skills? These are some of the most radical politicians in congress today and yet the state had enough lefties to elect them once again to congress, in this or in previous elections. I can understand the voters of Berzerkley or North Hollywood, but the state as a whole??? Go figure! You would think with the devastating financial disaster that the state now faces would at least think before marking their ballots, wouldn't you? The state legislature has for years passed the most hair brained laws that boggles the mind of clear thinking people. How is it that the voters cannot stop this disastrous trend and throw the lefties out that created the disaster in the first place? It is a puzzle to me and to other conservatives both in California and those who once lived there. Will there ever be a restoration of common sense to this once prosperous state? I can only hope so!

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." 
Thomas Jefferson

This is what we have seen happening in our government for many decades now. What will it take to stop this and restore our government to the true servant of WE THE PEOPLE?

"The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Thomas Jefferson

Just look at all the nations where guns were taken from the people and you will see this statement lived out to the extermination of millions of its citizens.

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the PRETENSE of taking care of them."  (emphasis added)                                                                                                                            Thomas Jefferson
                        
Wow, can this man think outside the box. We could use a few of his kind in government today. We do have a few but they are far too few! This is liberalism defined to the letter.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
 Thomas Jefferson

This is what we call SOCIALISM and it reigns supreme in far too many minds in our government. Socialism has NEVER worked in any nation ever allowed to try it out. It WILL NOT work in America!

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."  Thomas Jefferson

Man, was this one wise man and he could see right into 2010 and our current state of corruption in our government. It is time for REAL CHANGE and this means the total reform of congress, the White House and the judicial system. They are all three out of bounds with the Constitution. They will spell our ruin if we do not take this seriously!

RU-486 is a chemical abortion, performed up to 49 days gestation. It requires at least three (3) visits to the doctor's office or clinic.

The first visit, the woman is given a physical , exam and is administered mifepristone.  RU0486 blocks the action of progesterone, the natural hormone vital to maintaining the lining of the uterus. The embryo STARVES as the nutrient lining disintegrates.

At the second visit, 36-48 hours later, the woman is given a dose of artificial prostaglandins, usually misoprostol, which initiate uterine contractions and usually cause the embryo (BABY) to be expelled from the uterus. Most women abort during the four hour waiting period, but about 30% abort as many as five (5) days later --- at home, at work etc.

The third visit, about two weeks later, determines whether the abortion has occurred or if a surgical abortion is necessary to complete the procedure (ie. Kill the Baby).

According to an article by Dr. J. C. Willke, fifteen (15) women have died so far from taking RU-486.  It is A Dangerous Abortion Drug and all women considering using it should check out the consequences before taking it.

Way to go, Nebraska! You are a pace setter for the other 49 states (not 57 as some think). They passed the PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT which prohibits abortions after 20 weeks, with very narrow exceptions. It took effect October 15, 2010 and will be the rule of thumb for abortions around the nation before long. 3:11:09 PM:

Did you know that 1.37 MILLION babies a year die in America? The Holocaust took 6,000,000 Jewish lives plus many others as well. Since abortion became legal American abortion butchers have murdered fifty million, 46,000,000 innocent babies, and 42,000,000 is the number of abortions worldwide YEARLY. That makes 115,000 murdered babies A DAY! The USA kills 3,700 A DAY! These figures come from the Guttmacher Institute.

When will we wise up and stop murdering the most innocent citizens of this nation? It is a huge money machine for those who push this brutal murder procedure.

Way to go, Nebraska, and may the other 49 join you very soon and may this make its way, now, to the Supreme Court and see it all overturned. Abortion has become just another means of birth control for a sex-crazed society. Sex without responsibility and a heartless industry that will kill your baby for a few hundred  bucks and then sell the body parts of the baby to universities for experimentation and study.

What a sick society we live in now! "Thou shalt not commit homicide" seems to be ignored with our most innocent members.
