The Thirst for Freedom

Victory in Iraq?

ThirstyJon — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:03:47 +0000

I just watched President Obama’s speech on Iraq. I appreciated that he did not seem to be diving into any “I told you so” kind of talk. The speech seemed mostly consisting of patriotic rhetoric. So… Did America win the war in Iraq? Saddam Hussein was removed from power. Iraqi WMDs are either gone or [...]

Using the Poor in Venezuela

Communism / Marxism / Socialism do not help the poor, they use the poor. If you want to help the poor, show them how to change their situation. Stay away from the cruelty of state sponsored wealth distribution. Or you may end up with the kind of “yiechhhkkchh” going on in Venezuala. From Yahoo News: [...]

Is it Time to Impeach Some Federal Judges?

ThirstyJon — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:35:58 +0000

I have often considered that one of the necessary steps to restoring liberty in America may be to impeach and remove federal judges who have blatantly made up fiction about things allegedly in the constitution. (For example, the recent case of Judge Vaughn Walker and “gay marriage.”) Carson Holloway of The Public Discourse argues persuasively [...]

The Birth of Freedom

ThirstyJon — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:02:21 +0000

Freedom didn’t come from secular or naturalist ideas. Freedom came about as a result of Christianity. Jesus came to set the captives free, and He has done just that! It starts with the spirit of a man, but eventually filters into every area of his being and then out into the whole world and into [...]

A Shameful Death

A man get’s caught stealing alcohol from his delivery truck and gets fired. Claiming to be a victim of racism (there is apparently not any proof of this) he goes on a shooting rampage and kills 8 people and then himself. From CNN.com: Authorities said Thornton, 34, resigned under pressure Tuesday after he was accused [...]

Jesus – The Lord of Spirit, Soul, Body and MIND

ThirstyJon — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:49:57 +0000

Whose “2 cents” worth matters? For my entire Christian life I have been hearing this: “we need to be more relevant to the world to draw the world to Jesus.” Usually this is expressed as a change in style of music, style of church service, etc. “We are the ‘cool’ Christians. We’re not like those [...]

End of the World vs. Hope

I recently posted an article by Chuck Colson on my facebook page: “There are reports of rioting and looting across the country. But this is no time for such behavior. This crisis will be settled; central bank executives are meeting in Brussels even as I speak. “I have alerted the Armed Services and issued a [...]

Big Government Delusions

ThirstyJon — Fri, 07 May 2010 09:01:12 +0000

Here is a quote from an Essay by James Dorn about how big government has wrecked the people it was supposed to help: “When democracy overreaches, there is no end to the demands on the public purse, and the power of government grows. The Founding Fathers sought to create a republic with limited government, not [...]

Christianity is the Source of Civil Liberty

ThirstyJon — Wed, 05 May 2010 13:38:35 +0000

“The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and his apostles, which enjoins humility, piety and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of [...]
