— “The Tea Party is fanatically involved in people’s personal lives and very fundamental Christian — I wouldn’t even call it Christian. It’s this weird evangelical kind of move.”

— “Tea Party people” aren’t “just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it’s scary. They’re seriously racist, racist people.”

But the fact is, this sting, which did expose some blatant bigotry, has nothing to do with the fact that Republicans want to end funding for NPR and PBS. And, Republicans say the effort will not be affected by Schiller’s departure. That, from a Washington Examiner story.

An NPR article tries to distance itself from Schiller’s comments, by quoting several NPR exec’s saying, “In no way shape or form do they reflect what NPR does and who NPR is.” But they also keep updates on poor Mr. Schiller’s status.

The sting operation was perpetrated by a fake Muslim organization with undercover cameras.

Michelle Malkin said, “Too bad the Muslim Education Action Center Trust is a fake organization — Schiller would have made a perfect spokesman for them.” Funny, but true.

But my favorite take was this one at TogloPundit… How is this even news… The fact is, Conservatives have known forever about the blatant bias at NPR. The kind of extreme comments made by Ron Schiller just prove it, again.

Something worth mentioning: WGBH, a public radio station which also owns a public TV station, WGBH in Springfield, Mass., received $11.5 million in federal money this year— about 8 percent of its $156 million operating budget, according to the Boston Herald. So, anyone who tries to tell you that this will close down Public Radio or TV simply doesn’t do the math. I mean, come on, 8 percent of a $156 million-dollar budget will not destroy them.

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller has also resigned.

The high-profile meltdown at NPR really has nothing to do with the defunding efforts by Republicans. They have been trying to defund it since the dawn of time.

As you may know, it passed the House but was shot down in the Senate yesterday.

“Our concern is not about any one person at NPR,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. “Rather, it’s about millions of taxpayers. NPR has admitted that they don’t need taxpayer subsidies to thrive, and at a time when the government is borrowing 40 cents of every dollar that it spends, we certainly agree with them.”

Of course, Cantor is right. There’s a great piece on Hotair about some provocative examples of where the money goes.

Then, to top all that off, the new interim CEO at NPR is a Democrat political contributor. But there’s no bias there. The Daily Caller goes into detail about how much she gave and to whom.

Even Noam Chomsky knows NPR is far-left. Just watch the opening line of this video…

The post Bigotry And Bias: A Tale of Two Schiller’s and Defunding NPR appeared first on Backward Times.

Before I dig into this, I want to challenge people on both sides- be honest. I understand most of us come into this argument with a bias, myself included. But it the end, reason and logic HAS to win, not faith.

We shouldn’t follow any teaching with blind faith- believing (or disbelieving) simply because we want to, or should, or think we ought to- or not. As thinking beings, we should strive for logic and reason for our conclusions. In this article, I will spell out the logic and reasons for my conclusions. And I invite you to comment, adding your logic and reason for yours.

It’s an age-old question, and one thinking people still ponder. So, let us ponder together.

Is God Real?

Take the following steps with me. As I lay out my reasons and logic, I want you to put yours into these same categories and see if your beliefs stack up to logic and reason, as I see it. As always, if you think I took any leaps of faith, you are welcome to comment below.

Admit Your Bias

Before we can honestly consider the alternatives, we must come to grips with our biases, and ask ourselves- are we here to prove our preconceived notions? Or are we intellectually honest, and seriously seeking the truth?

Read the paragraph above again, and please, be honest with yourself. There’s no good reason to lie to yourself.

Me, I never went to church as a kid growing up. However, I did always have a basic belief that God existed for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure why. My parents, family and friends never spoke much of it. Call it an instinct.

Do You Want God to be Real?

Sometimes our wishes can overpower what is real. Whether you want God to be real or not, I challenge you to remain open-minded enough to admit your bias, and whether or not you want Him to be real.

I had my doubts when I got older. But deep down, I always wanted God to be real. I saw that life wasn’t always fair, and wished there could be justice for all. I like it when the good guy wins. I always did.

Be Intellectually Honest

Are you really willing to follow the evidence? Really? Or are you here for a pat on the back, and reassurance for your belief? In other words, are you really just here to try to convince someone what you believe? Be honest to yourself about this. I’m sorry if you think I am pounding this point a little too much, but it is the most important thing to be fully aware of before we can continue pondering this subject honestly.

I am willing to follow the evidence. If God is real, I want to know. And if He’s not, I would hate to waste my time following my imagination. If you agree with this, read on. If you don’t agree, go to Youtube and find a one-sided video that will make you feel good about your beliefs (or lack of).

What Evidence for God is There?

Logic would suggest that if something is real, you should be able to prove it. And if something is not real, it would be more difficult to prove a negative.

So, to be intellectually honest, you’d have to admit, only an HONEST atheist or an agnostic could be convinced with evidence. On the other side of the coin, since it’s impossible to prove a negative, an HONEST person of faith would be more difficult to convince of a non-existent being.

The burden of proof falls onto the religion to prove. Atheism doesn’t have to prove anything. They believe in nothing, so it stands to reason, nothing cannot be proven.

What are You Willing to Consider as Evidence?

In all fairness, most so-called evidence can be interpreted differently, depending on the biases of the interpreter. If you don’t know that (or admit it), you are just not being intellectually honest, and again, should just go to Youtube and find a biased video that will reinforce your preconceived notions. But again, if you are still with me, read on.

In a court of law, the most common evidence presented is always eyewitness testimonies. With today’s technology, we can add to that; DNA, fingerprints, footprints, and other physical evidence; like fabric fibers or something left behind by the culprit. How about answered prayers? Miracles?

What do you Really Know About this Evidence?

Too often, someone will lay out what they call evidence, jump to a conclusion, and take another jump from there, going off on a skewed path based on a false assumption (or worse, one false assumption after another.) So, to honestly consider this subject, you have to be willing to consider every possibility that the evidence would or could suggest. And, as they say in court, be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.

About eyewitness testimony; the court will always take into consideration the witnesses character or credibility. We should too.

Any other physical evidence must be proven to be exactly what is said, with no doubt whatsoever of any other possibility.

Proof God Does Not Exist

As mentioned, logic dictates that you cannot prove a negative, without exhausting every other possibility in the world. So, since no one can be at all places in the entire world, since the dawn of time, it is mathematically impossible to prove that God does not exist. However, sometimes, based on what evidence is available, and what our interpretation of that evidence is, it is possible that someone can come to the logical conclusion that He most likely does not exist. But, of course “most likely” will not stand in a court of law. For actual proof, we need to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Proof God Exists

There is a lot of evidence that could suggest that God does indeed exist. Of course, that depends on your interpretation of that evidence. But, logically speaking, it should be possible to prove, if it is true.

Let’s Look at Some Evidence for God

Of course, this is limited by my personal knowledge, and by no means am I an expert. I’m just one person who likes to think. Everybody has their own evidence. If the whole world got together and put all their evidence in one location, maybe then more of us would reach the same conclusion. For now, I’ll give you what little I know of.

God or Coincidences?

Sometimes I get prayers answered, miracles happen, and I get a feeling God is speaking to me through the Bible and through preachers. Then, I wonder, if He is real, or if it is all just a series of coincidences. Let me explain.

Eyewitness testimony: I have had many prayers answered in my life. A lot of people I know have too, but in keeping with the court of law (eyewitness testimony) theme, I will only tell you about my firsthand knowledge- things I have seen with my eyes.

I’ve seen people (including myself, my son, my daughter, and other friends and relatives) get miraculously healed from injuries, diseases, addictions, etc- things that were supposed to kill, maim, or leave you otherwise with a huge problem.

I found a loved-one in Chicago within just an hour (a very transient person with no contact info whatsoever, and living with someone else who I never knew), without any leads at all.

My brother found me in San Francisco without any inclination of where I’d be- at a cheap hotel where I just stayed at one time only.

On many occasions, I opened a Bible on the exact page I was seeking. Whether I was looking for a specific quote I thought might be in the Bible somewhere, or seeking an answer to a personal dilemma. I just randomly opened it to the right spot- many times. And I don’t really know the Bible that well, having read less than half of it to this day. Coincidence?

Almost every time I hear a preacher, he answers questions I was wondering, points out scripture that addresses my exact concerns, brings up quotes I was wondering about- almost every time I hear a preacher! It’s as if God Himself is speaking to me.

My Personal Experience- The Back-Story

Do you consider personal experience to be evidence? I do, if it happened to me, or someone I know and trust. So, I can tell you my personal experience. But as with any testimony, you have to consider the witness’ credibility. The following is my own personal experience.

I never went to church as a kid. I grew up in Chicago. Once in a while, on a Saturday, some church-guys from the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana would come along with their white shirts and ties, going door-to-door, asking everyone to attend their church. When I was thirteen, me and a few friends agreed to go. We were a bunch of punks who spent our time stealing car batteries and stereos to sell, so we could buy a nickel-bag of pot. The only reason we went was because we were bored, and so we could visit Indiana.

When we got there, we all agreed to sneak outside to smoke cigarettes and see the town. Somehow, I lost my friends, and wound up sitting in church alone listening to the sermon by myself. This was the only time I ever attended that church, and the next time I went to any church would be three decades later.

The preacher was a powerful speaker, with a booming voice, and a convincing authority about him. I listened intently and was blown away by some of the things he said. I had no idea about any of it, yet. To this day, I have no recollection of what he said, or who he was. But I do have a powerful memory of what I felt that day.

At some point during his sermon, I felt the presence of God come into me. I had an awakening that day, a sudden realization that God was real, His name was Jesus, and He was inside me. I cried like a baby, agreed in prayer to God that I was a sinner and needed His forgiveness, but no one seemed to notice.

I met my friends a while later, as we boarded the bus. They told me about the cool stuff they saw, and I told them I just sat in church. We never went there again.

Since that day, it would be difficult to convince me that God was not real. I felt Him, I know.

Are We Brainwashed?

Is it possible that I was brainwashed by a crafty preacher, and felt some emotion that I mistook for God’s presence inside me? After all, I was only thirteen. I never was taught anything about being “saved”. Yet, that day, I am convinced, I was.

More Miracles (or Coincidences)

About twenty years later, my son had a terrible accident. He was hit by a car and crushed his skull. The doctor told me and my wife that, “He has about two tablespoons of brain matter outside of his skull, and it would have to be removed.” And that, “He would most likely die during surgery, and if he lived, he would very likely be a paraplegic, and likely never talk, see, hear, and that any recovery whatsoever would be extremely lucky.”

Without a word, we walked together down the hall and into the bathroom, where we both threw up at the same time. That was the worst news I was ever told in my life, still to this day.

He remained in a coma for three weeks, with no response whatsoever. Life support systems kept him alive.

The hospital was very far from home so we stayed at the Ronald Mcdonald House. (A wonderful place to donate money to, if you ever wonder what is a worthy charity.) They had a prayer room, and me and my wife went there several times daily and prayed for a miracle.

My prayer was always a crying, begging prayer, desperately asking God to spare my only son. About three weeks into it, I got tired of begging, and just surrendered to whatever was inevitable. I prayed, “God, if you are going to take him, just take him. If he’s going to be a vegetable, just take him. Do what You will.” Basically, I just surrendered and gave it to God.

With those words, I had a sudden realization that he was not going to die, and that he was going to recover. It was as if God told me, without any audible voice. Just a reassuring feeling. It was so overwhelming, I was convinced I heard from God. I ran to my wife and told her, God spoke to me and our son would be OK.

Within a day or two, he started coming out of his coma. First with little responses- like shaking off the doctors’ pinch, then words, then one eye opened. And within a week or so, he was up, walking, though only speaking a few words (yeah, shit, home).

It was a long, tedious recovery, but he recovered! He does still have some permanent damage- double vision at some angles, deaf in one ear, and a lower IQ. But he is doing just fine physically, and is now a strong, healthy man who can walk, talk, run, carry a refrigerator, whatever. Coincidence? Good luck? I call it a miracle.

More Prayers Answered

Since then, I have had many incidences of prayers being answered. I’ll give you a couple of them.

One day, I was unemployed and flat broke, and needed $175 for a phone bill. A local scrap yard owed me $30, but the gas to go get it would be about $10, so I wasn’t too excited about that. I started my truck, looked at the gas gauge (just barely enough to make it there). I prayed, “God, please let me make the money for the phone bill somehow.”

Now, I was living in a small town. And although I used to find scrap easily when I lived in Chicago, out here (population 1600), it was very rare indeed.

I took off and turned the corner. There was a hot water heater. I turned another corner and there was a stove. I turned another corner and there was a pile of pipes. I went down an alley and found some more scrap. As I was loading it, a man walked out of his house and approached me, saying, “I don’t know why, but God told me to give you this.” And he handed me $40. I answered him, “This really is from God because I prayed for it only ten minutes ago.”

When I cashed in at the scrapyard, and picked up the $30 he owed me, I left with exactly $175. Coincidence? I think not.

Then there was the time I went looking for my daughter who had run away. I knew she went to Chicago (about 100 miles away). But I had no idea where in that huge city she would go. We drove around looking for her for only about an hour, and then we found her. Coincidence? Luck? No, a miracle.

Then, just two years ago, my back gave me a huge problem. I always had back aches here and there, but this time I was literally crippled with pain. For three months, I was bedridden. It took all my strength, just to go to the bathroom.

I lost my job, and after my meager savings was exhausted, I had no money at all. When I told my landlord my situation, that I couldn’t pay my rent for months, he said, “Don’t worry about the rent”. Miraculously, I got a huge income tax check, the biggest one ever ($8000).

The doctor told me I had degenerative spine, and it would likely get worse and worse as time passed. I resigned to the idea that I was crippled for life. I spent a lot of quality time with God in those days, laying in bed, praying.

Well, I got better. I started walking, then exercising a little, then hanging (trying to do pull-ups), then Tae-bo. I lost about 35 pounds, and in a few months I was ridding my bike, playing basketball, and living pain-free. Good luck? Coincidence? No way.

I have a very good friend who had a worse back injury than I did. His spine was severed from his (crushed) pelvis. Doctors told him he would never walk again. These days, he is one of the most active people I know. Ask him if there’s a God. He knows it for a fact, and serves Him daily, feeding poor people at a local food pantry. And hes, he carries the boxes, drives the truck, walks, all of it.

This article is becoming a book, so I’ll cut it short. But the bottom line is, I know for a fact there is a God, His name is Jesus, and He still does miracles.

Just Look Around You

Consider this; take a look around you. Science teaches us that life formed by sheer chance- A single-celled organism, which evolved into every life form we know of. A major coincidence, if you will. Do you really think it’s possible, that all of these coincidences took place? Think about how many coincidences it took- Molecules in the oceans accidentally met and formed a living cell. Then that cell found a mate. No scientist has ever been able to prove that in a laboratory. But they still believe it.

What About the Big Bang?

And what about the Big Bang? All the matter in the Universe came from a tiny dot, defying the first law of thermodynamics. It’s impossible. There’s no way all that matter can just explode out of nothing. And there’s no way possible for life to magically appear in the ocean.

And What About Evolution?

Another miracle if you ask me. Even though every living organism can be observed having offspring just like itself, science books teach us we evolved. Another example of science teaching something that no one ever observed. In my opinion, it’s impossible, all of it- The Big Bang, single celled organism just happening, evolution- all of it is a bigger miracle than what I have seen with my own eyes (the testimonies above).

Take This Challenge

If you are still reading, but still doubtful, I have a challenge for you, and a way you can prove it to yourself. If you are an atheist, or even just a little agnostic, just try this…

First, consider the Ten Commandments, and your sin. Don’t read this part too quickly. It’s important to contemplate each point.

Have you ever lied? (Of course, we all have.)

Have you ever stolen anything? (Of course, we all have.)

Have you ever looked upon a person of the opposite sex and lusted? (Again, we all have.) Jesus said, “If you ever looked upon a woman in lust you have already committed adultery in your heart.”

Have you ever used God’s name in vain?

By your own admission, you are a liar, a thief, an adulterer at heart, and a blasphemer. You’ve already broken four commandments and we haven’t even talked about the other six. (Don’t feel bad, I am all of that and more myself- we all are.)

The Bible says we all have to face God on judgement day. If that’s true, do you think He’d find you guilty, and send you to hell?

God’s laws, the Ten Commandments, are like a mirror. They show us that we are all guilty.

The good news is, Jesus paid the price for you (and me), and all you have to do is believe that, repent, and trust Him.

Pray with me. Even if you have your doubts about the whole God/Jesus thing. Just pray with me here, and see if He shows Himself to you…

Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I’ve broken just about all of your commandments, and I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me. The Bible says if I simply repent and put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord, I can be forgiven from all my sins. I have a lot of sins God. And I really am sorry. The Bible says You are faithful and just to forgive, and I’m claiming that forgiveness. I believe Jesus died on the cross, and rose again, conquering death and sin. And He did it all so that I may have eternal life. Thank you God, for forgiving me. Thank you for granting me eternal life. I believe in You, and I trust You. Thank you so much.

Amen

If you prayed that prayer, and meant it from your heart, you are saved! Now go find a Bible and study it. If you do, God will show Himself to you in many ways.

Don’t Leave Without Commenting!

Please comment below. Let us know what you gained from this. Or what it lacked. We love to hear from you.

Footnote: A lot of people believe they will go to heaven simply because they are a good person. But that is not what the Bible teaches. Please read this for more on that.

You see, that’s the real difference between the Left and the Right in today’s politics. The Left are phony, by definition. And the right are for real, by definition. That’s not just my political leanings saying that. It’s actually a fact. Think about it.

Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part, people on the political right are the good people. People like your dad, your uncle who owned a store, your friends at church, your neighbor. And people on the political left are, with exceptions too of course, usually the teenager waiting for the bus, the war protester with long hair and sandals, the health teacher, the chick at the abortion clinic, the guy you get your weed from.

All seriousness aside, I am happy Obama is keeping the military trials going at Guantanamo. I like the fact that the military can hold its own hearing and decide to take someone out to a field, never to be seen again. Come one, it’s a war machine, that’s what they do.

War on Terror News talked to Mason Clutter, an attorney for the Washington-based Constitution Project, who said her organization has mixed feelings about the president’s decision to resume the military trials, and, “We are disappointed that the administration is not going to be proceeding with parallel trials in the civilian justice system while they are trying cases in the military commission system.”

So, that’s what the Liberals really want- CIVILIAN court cases for their lawyer friends. Sorry guys, you’ll have to wait awhile for that after this decision.

Here’s Obama’s fake campaign promise…

Believe it or not, symbols in text messages are the next target for fervent anti-gun activists in New York.

Under the “Disarm the iPhone” campaign, “New Yorkers Against Gun Violence” is calling on Apple to remove the gun emoji from their iPhone devices.

An accompanying video for the ad campaign, which we assure you is real, tries to sell the idea that getting rid of the emoji would somehow lead to less gun deaths.

“With 33,000 American deaths a year, gun violence has become a losing battle. Even our president has admitted defeat,” the video states.

“But there is something we can do. There is a gun we all carry. That we can all give up,” the video says before revealing the hashtag #DisarmTheiPhone.

“By removing the gun emoji, we’ll show America wants stricter access to real guns.”

“The gun emoji has taken root in our culture and our digital conversations,” Leah Gunn Barrett, executive director of NYAGV said in a statement. “Let’s all call on Apple to get rid of the virtual gun and publicly join our call for universal background checks on all gun sales.”

The group’s attempt to ban digital pixels demonstrates how unreasonable gun control groups claiming to want “sensible” gun reform can be.

First, some definitions and explanations (truths):

There is truth. I know this should be a basic truth in itself, but there are still some people who think truth is relative. Truth is not relative. Something, everything, is either true or false. Matters of taste notwithstanding, truth, should be obvious to any open mind that observes the given facts.

Tyranny, is an oppressive form of government. Whether it comes from an individual leader, or from a whole governmental system, tyranny is, by definition, limits being imposed on people, rights taken away, and the government ruling over the people in an unfair, oppressive way.

Freedom, is being able to move about without confinement or restraints. Freedom is the ability to do what you want, when you want to. Freedom, by its very definition, is personal liberty, as opposed to slavery or bondage.

Social justice, is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. Social justice, by its very definition, includes everyone.

Socialism, is an atheistic political view. Originated by Vladimir Lenin, by its very definition, socialism demands complete disestablishment of the Church, and complete government control of all means of production.

Communism, also known as Marxism, is a belief that the government should control all aspects of life- the economy, work, and business. Although socialism was the starting point, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels (who co-wrote the original Communist Manifesto), took socialism to a whole new level.

Socialism and Communism/Marxism is a FAR LEFT ideology, by their own definition. See Marxists.org.

Socialism, Communism and Marxism has come to mean relatively the same thing. Today, it’s known as “Progressive”, even though there is nothing progressive about it. We can argue semantics all day, but the fact is, they are so closely related, it has come to mean the same thing in this day and age- Government control of business and economy, and an atheistic political view that demands absolutely no public religious expression at all.

There is no splitting this ideology. I didn’t draw this line in the sand, I’m just an observer of it. I see it, I’m pointing at it, that’s all. Whether you like it or not, you must pick a side- total government control and no religion whatsoever(socialism), or freedom of religion and economy (conservatism).

Every time it was tried, it failed. Whatever you want to call it, socialism and/or communism has failed throughout history, every time it was tried. Denying that is simply proof that you didn’t read the history. Either that or you are deliberately lying, as is the case with Obama.

Lenin began from the belief that economic organization would become less complex once the profit drive and the market mechanism had been dispensed with. In fact, economic life pursued under these rules rapidly became so disorganized that within four years of the 1917 revolution, Soviet production had fallen to 14 percent of its per-revolutionary level. By 1921 Lenin was forced to institute the New Economic Policy (NEP), a partial return to the market incentives of capitalism. In other words, he realized it wasn’t working, and he changed it from socialism to (partial) capitalism. But for some reason, even though the inventor of socialism quickly learned it wasn’t working, people today still think it can. (Go figure.)

Communism has killed more people than religion. Also know as “murder by government”, far-left ideologies have killed more people than all other causes combined, by far. This is an indisputable, historical fact. Take a look at the historical numbers in this very detailed thesis.

Consider this too… Why are the horrors of Nazism so well-known and widely condemned but not those of socialism and communism? What goes untaught — and possibly is covered up — is that socialist and communist ideas have produced the greatest evil in mankind’s history. Check out this story on Liberals, Progressives and Socialists (oh my).

So far, all I did was lay out some facts. there has been no opinion yet. If you find yourself in disagreement with me, you are in disagreement with facts. Here’s a few more:

It is the stated goal of the Communist Party to take over America by undermining it from within, and there is a congressional record to back that up. As illustrated many times over, the end justifies the means, and that includes lying.

The Democrat Party in the US stands for all of these same far-left ideologies, and is not afraid to lie about it. They purposely mislead, with issue titles, like:

Reproductive rights. It sounds like a “right”. But is it? While it may be a right to kill an unborn baby, the fact is- it takes away the rights of the baby.

Gay rights. Again, it sounds like a “right”, something a person should be entitled to. But in fact, it is taking away the rights of others (anyone who disagrees), and giving preferential treatment to one specific group of people.

Social justice. This is the fastest growing cry coming from the left these days. I would argue that most rank and file democrats don’t even know what exactly it is. As defined above, it should be all about justice for EVERYONE. But, in fact it punishes one group and lifts up another. That’s not freedom. That’s tyranny. Social justice is already here in the US, and has been all along.

Intellectual honesty is not a prerequisite on the left. When politicians will say whatever it takes to win, we the people have to dig to find the truth. (Nobody said this was going to be easy.) The same people who berated Bush for spending, should be even more angry at Obama. But again, blind followers will carry the baton, not knowing they are killing themselves.

Another shining example of blind followers is the whole Occupy Wall Street movement. Most of these people don’t understand what they are doing, and it’s very easy to prove (it’s been done many times on Youtube.) Before you get all in a huff, just think about this- here they are, carrying signs demanding “social justice”, and calling rich people “greedy”. And yet, they are the ones demanding the money (from the successful people). The very people crying for social justice are the greedy ones! If you can’t see that, you didn’t look.

I understand a lot of the guys there are just trying to get laid. (And where else can you find so many easy women all in one place?) But seriously, these protestors are the greediest people I have ever seen. Someone needs to tell them, there is a whole world of riches out there if they simply apply themselves.

I could go on forever. The bottom-line is this:

People need to know exactly what they are voting for when they pull that lever. I know we have to vote for the lesser of two evils most of the time, but clearly, most average Joe’s who say they are Democrats don’t understand what the party stands for these days.

Most Democrats that I see (regular people who are not active in politics) are hard-working people who are giving in to the peer-pressure around them, and simply following the sheep off the cliff. They never do any research, they just buy the package. This article does that research for them. If you know people like this, enlighten them by posting this article on Facebook or Twitter (find the links below).

It’s a brainwashing technique, and well documented. One shining example is Hitler. Just about everyone knows that Hitler brainwashed millions of Germans into believing that Jews were something less than human. And today in America, millions of people are brainwashed into believing that an unborn baby is not human. The parallels are blatant.

Rewriting history:

Obama is going around saying that Conservative methods were tried and failed every time. This is a bold-face lie. It was his Marxist views that failed every time. History proves it again and again, not only with all the historical sources quoted above, but one look at the history of the US (the indisputable, fastest growing, most prosperous nation in the history of the world), will show that Conservatism works every time it’s tried. After all, The Constitution is the very foundation of Conservatism.

Conservative principals are exactly what led to the US claiming its independence in the first place. It’s what put in place Christian values, which kept our country free from tyranny, free to express our religion, free to think of a good idea and get rich, free to seek out our own happiness, whatever that may be.

Not snitching, is, of course, backward thinking. However, nobody seemed interested in mentioning the other, real story here.

To me, the obvious elephant in the room is the fact that Chicago doesn’t allow its law-abiding citizens to carry firearms. Then they wonder why there are so many shootings. It’s because the criminals are the only ones who are armed- hello?

Criminals in Chicago have the freedom to commit robbery and murder, with no fear of the victim shooting back.

When the good citizens are armed, criminal will think twice. More and more states these days are allowing conceal-carry permits, because they have seen the results- crime goes down every time it’s tried. But Chicago is right up there next to San Francisco- common sense is non-existent.

If you want to see what Backward Times is, just go to Chicago and drive around the city. And while you’re there, pick up a newspaper and read the bad news they have every single day.

I have never before endorsed a candidate publicly, let alone during a primary. But nobody has the fortitude of Ron Paul. Nobody else is standing up for States rights. Nobody else is standing up for the falling dollar. Nobody else is standing up to the Fed. Nobody else is standing up to the Republican machine. Nobody else is standing up to Obama’s machine. Nobody else is even close. Ron Paul can win this if the people get behind him, no matter what the media elites try to say or do.

Ron Paul has a very long, consistent record as a Texas congressman of standing for these things. He has never changed. He was against the Iraq war ever since Clinton began the first bombing campaign during the impeachment trials in 1998.

Ron Paul supported the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Not because of his lies under oath, but for a more important reason- because he acted unconstitutionally when he ordered the bombing of Iraq in 1998. Which, in hindsight, was the very beginning of this whole debacle.

Let’s all get behind Ron Paul. He is the most Conservative politician we have ever known, in the truest sense of the word. And the most Liberal, in the truest sense. And if you ask me, he’s the only real choice for any true patriot, whether left or right. If you believe as our founders did, then help spread the word.

Ron Paul for president in 2012! It’s now or never! Tell two friends, like us on Facebook, and visit his official campaign website for more.

It’s funny too because this story is all over the news, as if he’s some kind of extremist, just because he is a conservative. The liberal media are really full of themselves, again.

It sure is exciting living in these backward times.

But hey, I wouldn’t have a job if they weren’t so easy to uncover. So, even though I hate it, I like it, if you know what I mean…

Dr. Brown puts forth some very compelling arguments against evolution. So much so, it is this writers opinion that it will be impossible for anyone who reads it to believe in evolution after they do. If you have any honest, intellectual curiosity about origins, look no further.

His credentials are impeccable as is his science. He has an open challenge to a written scientific debate, open to everyone and anyone, with one stipulation- no religion, only science is allowed. The funny thing is- all of his doubters want to debate religion. I find that fact puzzling. Although, I have heard it said by a few high profile Creationists that evolution is a religion. I guess this proves it, again.

His hydro-plate theory will raise some eyebrows for sure. It is very logical and thought-provoking. As far as I’m concerned, it is the best theory I have ever heard. It answers a lot of questions and explains a lot of so-called unexplained science. I’m sure one day science will catch up to him, but for now, Dr. Walt Brown is way ahead of his time. Be sure to watch this 5-minute video.
