Logical Fallacies with Michael Farris

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 May 2014 04:53:00 +0000

http://youtu.be/Shw_leuVohE

Video Description:

My name is Liberty Stevens and I’m a 14 year old homeschooler. I watched the debate “Should Oklahoma Support a Constitutional Convention?” http://youtu.be/C5GdnYUMw-o after studying The Fallacy Detective by Nathaniel Bluedorn & Hans Bluedorn http://www.christianlogic.com, and noticed numerous logical fallacies used by Michael Farris, including several attacks on The John Birch Society (JBS).

Mr. Farris knows better. He is the Chancellor of Patrick Henry College and Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association. He was the founding president of each organization.

I was shocked and appalled to see such bad behavior by a homeschool leader and it spurred me to make this video. I would not want to go to Patrick Henry College with an unprincipled leader like this. Special thanks to Mom and Dad for their love and support.

To learn more about the dangers of a Constitutional Convention and how to stop it, go to http://www.jbs.org/issues-pages/no-con-con

In response to Mr. Farris’s attacks on JBS:

Current JBS action projects include: STOP the Free Trade Agenda, STOP ObamaCare, STOP Agenda 21, STOP a Con-Con, STOP Illegal Immigration, Get US out! of the United Nations, Support Your Local Police, Support Morality, and Restore Constitutional Money. http://www.jbs.org/action-campaigns

JBS teaches that The Constitution Is The Solution (https://www.jbs.org/webstore/shop-jbs/videos/the-constitution-is-the-solution-lecture-series-w-manual-lecture-guide-cd-lecture-materials-packet), not the problem. Since the Constitution is not the problem, amending it is not the solution.

Education Expert: Common Core Education is Social Engineering

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Oct 2013 18:28:00 +0000

With the national uproar over the Obama administration-backed "Common Core" nationalization of education reaching a fever pitch from Florida and Louisiana to New Hampshire and Wisconsin, education expert Dr. Duke Pesta is now speaking out in an exclusive video for The New American about the looming nationwide school standards for history, science, and sexuality. The goal of it all, according to Dr. Pesta, academic director at FreedomProject Education and an English professor at the University of Wisconsin, is social engineering while denying truth — an argument that numerous other prominent experts and educators across the country have also made.

Bible Becomes Runaway Bestseller in Secular Norway

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:44:00 +0000

Is one of Europe's most secular nations in the midst of a spiritual revival? It may be a stretch to predict just yet that Norway's five million citizens are turning back to God en masse. But the fact that a new Norwegian-language translation of the Bible has become a runaway bestseller in the country is causing many to wonder if there is a renewed interest in the Christian faith in the Scandinavian nation.

Chávez Dead, But Latin American Socialism Lives On

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:41:00 +0000

After helping to destroy the once relatively prosperous economy of Venezuela, socialist strongman Hugo Chávez (pictured) died of cancer on Tuesday at 58, with some of his allies and subordinates insisting that the tyrannical leader was actually murdered by some sort of secret U.S. "cancer" weapon. With the passing of Chávez, more than a few analysts are already heralding the death of socialism in Latin America. Despite the loss of one of its most outspoken and visible leaders, however, the statist forces quietly seizing control of the region will continue to march onward.

China's Churches Face Renewed Government Persecution

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:29:00 +0000

The Chinese government has increased its efforts to eradicate the country's growing underground church movement, a Chinese watchdog group said in a recent report. China Aid, which monitors instances of government persecution of the church in China, reported a 42-percent increase in government harassment of Christians and unauthorized places of worship from 2011 to 2012. In its study the Texas-based group, headed by former Chinese house church pastor Bob Fu, documented 132 cases of government persecution involving 4,919 persons in 2012, and noted a 125-percent jump in the number of people arrested and sentenced for involvement in unauthorized Christian worship over the previous year.

Putin’s KGB/FSB Converging with New IMF Banking FSB

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:50:00 +0000

The veterans of Russia's KGB/FSB were chuckling to themselves, no doubt, as Russian President Vladimir Putin (right) announced his pleasure at Russia’s assumption of the presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20)* nations for 2013. Putin’s "strategic agenda proposed by Russia for the G20 in 2013" is loaded with favorable references to the FSB. The FSB acronym in Putin's "strategic agenda" is not a reference to the dreaded Russian secret police (successor to the Soviet KGB and its earlier incarnations as the NKVD and the Cheka), however; it is a reference to the Financial Stability Board, a new institution created by the G20 leaders in 2009, ostensibly to deal with the economic crisis.

Obama Pushing Trans-Atlantic Union with EU
Even as the European Union continues to pursue ever-closer "integration" in the name of "global governance," Obama is now working to form a "Trans-Atlantic partnership" between the U.S. government and the EU under the guise of a so-called "free trade" agreement. Formally announced in the United States during the president’s State of the Union address, the highly controversial deal — a scheme that has been under discussion since before the current administration came to power — is expected to take at least 18 months to complete. It also has the backing of both Big Business and Big Labor.

Killing the Dollar: G20 & IMF Push for Global Fed, Global Currency

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 05:36:00 +0000

While headline stories about averting the dangers of an international "currency war" dominated news coverage of the recently concluded G20 meeting in Moscow, the real unreported story is that the global gathering of central bankers and finance ministers is pushing forward with their plan for "supersizing" the International Monetary Fund. The end goal is to transform the IMF into a global Federal Reserve, with the ability to flood the world with huge new volumes of loans and currency. It would also wield vast financial regulatory powers.

The IMF's unit of account, or "currency," known as a Special Drawing Right (SDR), is being readied for eventual adoption as the replacement for the U.S. dollar in international transactions, to lead the way toward eventual adoption of the SDR or some other designated unit as the global currency, much in the same way that the euro was foisted upon the people of Europe as a replacement of their national currencies.

The mainstream media seem intent on keeping the public fixated on the latest Kardashian frolics, sportsmania, and Democrat-Republican political mudwrestling, while coverage of the G7, G20, and IMF confabs that are determining the economic fate of the world receive short shrift. And the little reporting of these events that does leak out usually amounts to little more than regurgitation of the pre-scripted talking points of the conference principals. Over the past four years, The New American has published numerous articles detailing the radical plans currently underway for the total destruction of the dollar and the plans for supersizing the IMF into a global Fed.

Is Soaking the Rich the Right Answer?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:55:00 +0000

So long as people believe that raising taxes on the rich is a noble idea, there is almost no way to discredit it. The only way one can try to attempt to convince people that such an idea is flawed is to reveal it for what it really is and to show that it is the very opposite of noble.

The notion that the rich should pay more taxes raises the obvious question: Why? We are told that it is because the federal government is running enormous budget deficits and needs more money. But are the rich responsible for those budget deficits? No, they are not! And yet, the rich are being scapegoated by the Obama regime and the fawning national liberal media in order hide the fact that the real culprits are the federal politicians, bureaucrats, and judges who, over the past hundred years, have done the very opposite of preserving, protecting, and defending the U.S. Constitution and the principles upon which this nation was founded.

Obama's Global Development Council Promotes Abortion, UN Redistribution

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:50:00 +0000

In an important pre-Christmas action that received scant media attention, President Obama announced appointments to a number of key administrative posts, including nine members of the President's Global Development Council, an organization he created by executive order one year ago, on February 9, 2012. The appointments will turn out to be very important as they pertain to the dispersal of billions of dollars in foreign aid, particularly when it comes to promoting programs and policies of the United Nations on abortion, population control, homosexual practices, condom distribution, Agenda 21, "sustainable development," "green energy," wealth redistribution, and other controversial issues.

Sheriffs and Legislators Are Acting to Nullify Obama Gun Controls

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:57:00 +0000

State legislators, county sheriffs, and state governors are saying, "Enough!" Unconstitutional overreach by politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., has set the stage for multiple showdowns with state and local government officials who vow to exercise their constitutional prerogatives to oppose usurpations of the federal government on issues ranging from the REAL ID Act and ObamaCare to infringements on the right to keep and bear arms.

Media Celebrate Tiny Gun Control March, Ignore 500,000 Pro Life

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:53:00 +0000

If Americans needed any further evidence of the blatant bias and disregard for the truth displayed by the increasingly discredited establishment press, the coverage — or lack thereof — of two recent demonstrations in Washington, D.C., provided a perfect illustration. One tiny protest was seeking more gun control and was promptly plastered all over the front pages. The other march, which was virtually ignored by the press despite record-breaking attendance, sought protection for the lives of unborn children.

In Mali, Forces Backed by UN, France, and Obama Slaughter Civilians

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:53:00 +0000

Summary executions and mass human rights abuses targeting innocent civilians in Mali are being perpetrated by soldiers loyal to the dubious Malian regime in a campaign supported by the United Nations, the new socialist French government, and the Obama administration. According to human rights groups and witnesses on the ground, the atrocities are increasing as the number of murdered victims continues to rise — eerily reminiscent of similar tragic interventions in Libya, Syria, and the Ivory Coast.

When Disappointment Turns to Discouragement

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 04:18:00 +0000

What patriot is not disappointed with the recent election results? The prospect of four more years of the same old, same old is enough to dampen the spirit of even the brightest-eyed optimist. Any constitutionalist has to wonder just how far outside the boundaries of the written law and moral truth we can wander before something finally snaps. Historians tell us no nation has ever slid this deep into collectivism and amorality and pulled out. Prophets of doom are claiming we are already past the point of no return.

But the gravest danger on the horizon is not coming from outside the circle of Americans fighting for less government. The gravest danger is a growing discouragement within our own ranks. Sometimes within one’s own self. Many, Christians especially, have just given up. Some believe the battle is lost: Obama and agnostics are successfully implementing laws to eliminate religious freedoms almost at will, and culturally, sex, smut, and immorality rarely ever rate public condemnation. When condemnation does happen, it is often directed at Christians, not at "wrong." Others believe that modern events match well with biblical prophecies that indicate we are at the "end times," the times immediately preceding the second coming of Christ. In either case they have adopted the credo, "Why bother?"

Well, I want to tell why we should bother and tell how to be effective.

Obama's Trillion-Dollar Coin Exposes Federal Reserve Scam

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:25:00 +0000

Amid an ongoing debate over raising the debt ceiling and Congress' seeming inability to rein in wild deficit spending, some proponents of even bigger government proposed the minting of a $1-trillion platinum coin to get around stubborn lawmakers seeking budget cuts. Seriously. Originally, the Obama administration refused to rule it out when asked by reporters, leaving analysts to speculate about whether or not they would really do it.

Obama Unveils Assault on Gun Rights

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:45:00 +0000

Using young children as cheap propaganda props, President Obama unveiled his deeply controversial anti-gun proposals on Wednesday amid a series of false claims about having public opinion on his side. Among the most extreme, aside from some two dozen executive decrees he signed, was the announcement that the administration would push for an even more draconian so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" purporting to criminalize popular semi-automatic firearms. Restrictions on magazine capacity as well as mandatory "universal background checks" that could obliterate gun shows and private firearm sales are also at the top of the agenda.

UN Gun Grab on Pace for March

France Bombs Mali While Backing Jihad Elsewhere

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 07:02:00 +0000

Despite openly supporting self-styled Jihadist "revolutionaries" seeking an Islamic theocracy in Syria, and Libya before that, the new socialist French government, with help from other Western powers, has also just launched a series of military attacks against Muslim rebels who seized control of northern Mali. The controversial operations, ironically, are being taken under the guise of fighting Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, Islamists in the region have vowed retaliation, saying the French attacks were killing civilians and promising to strike "at the heart of France."

How the Compact for America Threatens the Constitution

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 04:48:00 +0000

The constitutional convention proposed by the Compact for America Initiative would pose an unacceptably high risk of damage to the Constitution.

Fortunately, there is another way for states to exercise their collective authority on the federal government without resorting to a constitutional convention. It is the concept described by Thomas Jefferson as the "rightful remedy" for any and all unconstitutional acts of the federal government: nullification.

Amid Federal Land Grab in Brazil, Whole Towns Evicted at Gunpoint

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:12:00 +0000

Federal Brazilian police and military personnel, some wearing United Nations insignia, are forcibly relocating whole communities in Brazil at gunpoint under the guise of returning huge tracts of land to a small group of Indians whose ancestors were allegedly there at some point. Thousands of local residents who have lived in the area for decades or were even born there, however, are fighting back, with critics saying the government’s actions smack of Stalinism and may constitute crimes against humanity....

“This is just one more case among many. The policy of Brazil’s leftist government is to dismantle the country to deliver it all to ‘native reserves,’ which are nothing more than instruments of billionaire foreign Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs),” explained renowned Brazilian writer and philosopher Professor Olavo de Carvalho, who has played a key role in exposing the well-orchestrated socialist takeover of Latin America.

The so-called “pink tide” sweeping over the region is being led in part by top Brazilian Labor Party (PT) officials, who currently hold power, collaborating with totalitarian regimes in the region. As The New American has documented extensively, a shadowy network of socialist and communist political parties as well as Marxist terror groups known as Foro de São Paulo — founded by former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva, communist tyrant Fidel Castro, the Sandinistas, and others — now dominates Latin American politics....

As The New American reported years ago, socialist and communist forces are making significant progress throughout Latin America, with major support from abroad and just a handful of national governments resisting the trend. However, considering the recent birth of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUL or UNASUR) — a European Union-like transnational regime dominated by self-identified socialists — the people of the entire continent are facing the very real prospect of brutal tyranny in the not-too-distant future. And without a massive outcry, the farmers and poor workers of Suiá Missú will definitely not be the last victims.

Hundreds Die in Cold Waves — Media Keep Flogging Global Warming

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 03:23:00 +0000

While brutal blizzards and freezing temperatures blanket much of the world, the biased "news" media keep up a steady drumbeat of alarmism concerning the nonexistent "crisis" of global warming.

Bilderberg-picked EU Leader Van Rompuy Calls for Global Governance With Russia

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:32:00 +0000

Leaders of the European Union and Russia met in Brussels on December 20 and 21 for the 30th EU-Russia Summit, continuing a process of convergence and interdependence that is leading toward political, economic, and social merger.

In his remarks at the conclusion of the summit, Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, made repeated reference to progress toward the goal of "global governance," which has always been code in globalist circles for world government.

"Queen James Bible" Clumsily Cleanses Scriptures of "Homophobia"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:27:00 +0000

What do you do if you claim to be a Christian but are offended by Scriptures condemning the practice of homosexuality? If you are one of the unnamed editors of the new "Queen James Bible" (QJV), you simply rewrite the offending passages to your liking, and — voilá! — the problem is solved.

Gun-free Zones Called "Magnets for Mass Shooters"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 00:07:00 +0000

Gun-free zones are invitations to mass murder, argued gun-rights advocates after the elementary school shootings Friday in Connecticut killed 26. Read more...

China School Knife Attack, Portland Mall Attack Receive Little Coverage
The same day as the tragic Newtown school shooting, a Chinese man stabbed 22 children in the central Chinese province of Henan. And a would-be massacre was stopped in Portland by an armed citizen.

Crisis to Gun Control: A Look at the Sandy Hook Massacre
In this week's analysis behind the news video, JBS CEO Art Thompson discusses: the massacre which took place at Sandy Hook Elementary and how it may lead to gun control; how we're arming al Qaeda in Syria and the negative impact on Syrian Christians; new UN attempts to control the Internet; and how central banks meeting regularly in Basel, Switzerland to manage the economy is the opposite of free enterprise.

December 15, 2012 was the 221st anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. All of the liberties protected by the first ten amendments are under attack.

UN Summit Fails to Enact "Complete Transformation" of the World

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:27:00 +0000

UN Climate Summit chief Christiana Figueres says the UN is aiming for "a complete transformation of the economic structure of the world," a "centralized transformation" guided by ruling elites.

Convergence: Globalists Push Russia-EU Merger

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:05:00 +0000

An op-ed column appearing in the November 25, 2012 Gulf News, entitled, "Need for Europe-Russia institutional integration," by former Russian Foreign Minister Igor S. Ivanov is one of the latest globalist paeans to East-West "convergence."
