MERGING THE U.S., CANADA & MEXICO

By Rusty Mason
March 30, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

Well, the Bush regime's efforts to merge the US, Canada, and Mexico into one regional government are almost complete. These actions are not missteps, as some conservatives would like to believe, but deliberate and purposeful efforts for a regional government. A few reminders:

Merging the US, Canada, & Mexico
Bush Decries Border Project
Alberto Gonzalez and La Raza
1 Million Aliens Released into General Population

We have to face it. We have to admit it out loud, each of us, not only to ourselves, but to each other. Bush is a radical liberal, a global communist -- always has been, always will be. He is a bona fide traitor to America, as his actions throughout his administration have clearly shown. Can anyone trust this traitor and his Straussian neo-cons about ANYTHING? Health care? Immigration? War on drugs? Education? 9-11? Homeland Security? National ID cards? Of course not.

The Iraq and Iran wars. Who can support the ridiculous idea of spreading democracy in the Middle East when we cannot even hold onto our own republic? Which of our children are to die for "democracy in Iraq?" So that this idea gets through, please state their names. Do this: announce to your parents and to your spouse which ones you would like to see risk their lives for this Jacobin fantasy. Also imagine that you might someday be standing at your child's funeral, holding back the tears while praising his or her heroic efforts of trying to bring democracy to Iraq. Would the truth of our situation be clear to you then?

The war on terror. Another farce. Most of our leaders and big businesses are intentionally holding our borders wide open, even while we are subject to increasingly intrusive and humiliating searches and seizures. They are encouraging the building of mosques using government money. Bush constantly praises Islam as a "religion of peace." Our city, state, and federal governments have dismantled our immigration controls, which worked fairly well. The border wall, new immigration laws, and national ID cards are not only unnecessary, they will merely increase the oppressive power of this new Soviet-style police state.

What kind of country are we building for our children? Congress is spending like LBJ and FDR rolled into one. American-hating free-loaders are pouring into our country, literally by the millions. Taxes will increase significantly over our children's lifetimes. They must: real wages are still going down, ever more jobs are being shipped overseas, the Fed is flooding the world with fiat money (M3, an official measure of this money, will soon go unreported), and real inflation is running close to 10%. We are in serious danger of losing our middle class completely.

Do you think that your "conservative" talk show hosts are going to alert you to the truth? Really? When did Bill Bennett inform you that Bush's "No Child Left Behind" is the same UNESCO (United Nations) program as it was under the name of "Goals 2000" and "School to Work?" When did Savage point out that the architects of the war in Iraq, Bush's closest advisors, belong to the Likud party, a political party of a foreign government which is naturally hostile to Iraq? I don't listen to Rush, but I doubt that he made much of a fuss over the LaRaza ("The Race") affiliation of Bush's attorney general.

High School Principal Flies Mexican Flag At School

March 30, 2006

Reagan High School Principal Robert Pambello was ordered to remove a Mexican flag Wednesday morning that he had hoisted below the U.S. and Texas flags that typically fly in front of his school — a symbol he agreed to fly to show support for his predominantly Hispanic student body.

At nearby Hamilton Middle School, a child was asked to wipe off Mexican and U.S. flags painted on his face. Hundreds of other students carried Mexican flags during walkouts Wednesday — acts of protest that they vow to continue until Congress rejects legislation that would further restrict immigration.

"There's no other way to be heard ... It's not the best way or the right way, but it's our way," Reagan freshman Jose Lopez, 14, said of the effort.

The Mexican flag has become a lightning rod in the immigration debate that's consumed the city and the nation this week. Students say the flag represents their pride in the contributions Mexicans make to this country. Critics, though, said watching young Hispanics in the streets with the red, green and white flags is more than they can stand. These youngsters are in the United States and should — at the least — carry the U.S. flag, they argue.

"The whole thing just makes my blood boil," said Bruce R. Wing, a 52-year-old Missouri City resident. "I want them all out of here."

Greetings,

We have 150,000 troops fighting an illegal and senseless war in Iraq while our nation is being invaded and conquered by illegal aliens. Idiocy!

Activists working to 'paralyze' U.S.

Organizers of L.A. rally now plan mass action to disrupt economy

The coalition that organized an estimated 500,000 marchers in Los Angeles to protest immigration reform announced its next mass action is "an economic and labor boycott that will paralyze the U.S. economy."
The radical separatist publication La Voz de Aztlan, the Voice of Aztlan, said the proposed boycott is in response to a "racist" measure in Congress.

The House has passed a bill to tighten border security, but President Bush broadly supports rival legislation being debated in the Senate that contains a guest-worker proposal.

The cost of revival

“The foreign resident among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink lower and lower. He will lend to you, but you won't lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail. All these curses will come, pursue, and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commands and statutes He gave you.” Deuteronomy 28: 43-45


We reap what we sow, we reap more than we sow, and we reap long after it is sown. Baby-killing Americans, devoid of children, are reaping a bumper crop of illegal immigrants. We abort 4000 Americans everyday while 3,178 illegal aliens, 2 per minute, smuggle themselves across our borders.

High school and college aged people typically apply for low paying menial work. Hard working immigrants gladly take the overflow of work due to the lack of young people filling these positions.

Poor immigrants will not always content themselves working menial jobs. Soon they will be lording over us. Not everyone crossing our borders is looking for work. We have many enemies intent on destroying us.

Immigrants bring their culture with them. “Poor people have poor ways.” The countries they are leaving are impoverished because of their culture: America’s culture is also impoverished. Gambling, abortion, pornography, sodomy, promiscuity, divorce, corruption, heresy, apostasy, rock music: “I think our country sinks beneath the yoke; it weeps, it bleeds; and each new day a gash is added to her wounds.” Mac Beth

Most Americans limit the size of their family to the recommended one or two. Career minded women lead barren lives. Child-less lesbian & sodomite couples, playboys and playgirls abound. An legion of foreign invaders swarm over our borders easily displacing us. We are a nation under God’s judgment.

Most Americans, unaware this is happening or why, are rudely awakened by recent riots. 11 million, perhaps as many as 25 million, illegal aliens are planted in our soil. The tares and the wheat must now grow together. Matthew 13:25

We are in for a bloody fight if we get tough with them; if we continue to be lenient we open our borders to more invaders. We are finding ourselves surrounded. A border fence would be little more than symbolic; it is too late to circle the wagons.

Before the time of Christ, spiritual revivals have taken place. It is in desperate times such as these that men turn their eyes toward heaven. I have seen two small revivals: Operation Rescue was my 1st revival. Many Christians showed repentance by physically blocking the doors of abortion clinics. There was a spiritual awakening, but it was short lived. Most who participated were unwilling to suffer persecution. They were afraid of losing jobs, families, friends, and suffering imprisonment.

In Milwaukee in 1992, another revival broke out. 10,000 people met for a Solemn Assembly to repent for allowing abortion in their community. Persecution again thinned the crowd, only a handful perseveres today.

I believe we are due for another revival. Hopefully it will be larger and more encompassing than these past two revivals. I hope to be a part of it.

There can be no revival accepting of abortion, sodomy, fornication, adultery, gambling, and pornography. The very idea of revival is to cleanse ourselves of these things and return to Godly values. We cannot return to Godly values without God, and we cannot do that apart from His Word, that being Jesus Christ and the Bible. John 1:14

We have to change our way of thinking. We need to get into agreement with God’s Word. A great stumbling block for “pro-lifers” is an acknowledgment that those who commit abortion commit murder. The Bible says that those who commit murder deserve to die (Genesis 9:5-6).

People are uncomfortable with the Old Testament, yet the New Testament says the same thing. There ain’t no getting around it! Num. 35: 16 & 19 & 30; Lev. 24: 17 -21; Acts 25:11; Matt 15: 3-4; Mark 10: 9-10: Luke 19: 27; Heb. 10: 28; Ezekiel 13:19 Deut. 17: 5; 19: 11-15; 13:5-9;

Jesus never quoted the New Testament, neither did his disciples; they always cited the Old Testament. 2 Timothy 3:16

If we execute everyone who is guilty of abortion there would be hardly be anybody left!

The bloodguilt is shared by the abortionist, abortion workers, aborting mothers, aborting father, grandparents, judges, police, pastors, lawmakers, voters, teachers, the list is very, very long. All who partake in the shedding of innocent blood deserve to die; such is the gravity of abortion on demand. Leviticus 20: 1-5

Though the Mosaic Law demands the death penalty for sodomy and adultery, it was seldom carried out. The godliest of kings merely ran the sodomites out of Israel. I am sure some were executed, but there are no biblical accounts of sodomites or adulterers being put to death apart from acts of God. 1 Kings 15:12; 22:46

Though birth control devices were outlawed in Connecticut prior to 1965, the law was never enforced. The law serves as a standard for right and wrong. By striking down Connecticut’s birth control statute (Griswold v. Connecticut 1965) The U.S. Supreme Court created a Right of Privacy which was one of the underpinnings of legalized abortion.

Birth control devices must be outlawed along with abortion on demand. Most birth control devices work as an abortifacient. We must admit that man is created in God’s image, human life is sacred. We should acknowledge the principle that God determines each person’s days. Man has no authority in tampering in these matters.

It is tyranny for government to compel taxpayers to pay for immoral behavior. $288.3 million of our Federal tax dollars went to Title X Family Planning in 2005. We are further compelled to pay state tax!

Sex education is the parent’s duty, not government.

I believe there is going to be revival; I hope we are a part of it. We have much to repent of don’t we? I believe that the consequences of our sin will force us to repent or die; we are literally choosing life or death.

In reading the book of Ezekiel I was struck by the hardness of heart of the exiled Jews. They lived in rebellion to God right up to time of their exile into Babylon (Iraq). They continued in their rebellion in exile while under the yoke of bondage. Ezekiel 2

I picture a man sinking over his head into quicksand; the only thing visible is a hand displaying a middle digit. This was Israel in Babylonian captivity; I hope it is not also a picture of America.

Whose "rights" will rule in a "democratized" world?

by Berit Kjos, March 2006

"How can we congratulate ourselves for liberating Afghanistan from the rule of jihadists only to be ruled by Islamists who kill Christians?"1 asked Tony Perkins in a recent Washington Update.

We can't. But we can look behind the illusive promises of "democratic freedom" and see the paradox. Since democracy implies majority rule, some minorities will always be left without some promised "rights." For example, even in "free" America, parents are now required to submit their children to mental health screening.

This intrusive process determines whether or not their thoughts and attitudes match the new standards for "socialization" into a global community. Naturally, those who base their beliefs on Biblical absolutes will not score well on tests that reward compromise and collective thinking.

Families that resist the pressure to conform to the global standards risk remediation. They also risk losing their children to the adoption-minded Department of Social Services, which receives large federal grants for claiming and re-assigning children. Christian families are the innocent victims in this transformational scheme.

Yet, the most dramatic violation of promised justice is now being played out in Afghanistan. America and other nations have paid a huge price for trying to democratize this nation torn by tribal rivalries. The result? Christians seem to be less free than five years ago.

The Biblical Antidote to Legalism

by Gary DeMar

A great deal of confusion exists in the church over the definition of legalism. There are those who conclude that a legalist is someone who “keeps the commandments.” This cannot be legalism since the Bible commends those who keep God’s commandments. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Others imagine that a legalist is a person who works at keeping God’s law. Such a person is not a legalist since the psalmist extols the beauty and necessity of a love for God’s law (Psalm 119).

Some assert that a legalist is anyone who follows God’s law after he or she has embraced Christ as Lord and Savior. This cannot be legalism since Paul tells us that the law is good if one uses it lawfully (1 Tim. 1:8). What, then, is a legalism?

Legalism is the adding of basic presuppositions to a faith to make that faith more exclusive or less available to “outsiders” who do not think, act, or believe as do the “true” believers. Legalism is one of many power maneuvers by faith leaders who seek to consolidate religious authority in the hands of a very few.1

The Pharisees fit this definition as do many modern-day Christians who erect an ethical system that does not comport with the Bible, either by setting aside its ethical demands or by replacing biblical norms with extra-biblical decrees. The Pharisees, contrary to popular opinion, did not keep God’s law. They were not “the best people of their day.”2 The best people were men like Simeon (Luke 2:25), Zacharias (Luke 1:6), and Joseph (Matt. 1:19), and women like Anna (Luke 2:36), Mary (Luke 1:46–56), and Elizabeth (Luke 1:6). Elizabeth and Zacharias “were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord” (Luke 1:6). The commandments of God were neglected by the Pharisees (Mark 7:8).

They “nicely set aside the commandment of God in order to keep [their] tradition” (Mark 7:9). Jesus told the Pharisees that they had the devil as their father (John 8:44). James B. Jordan sets the record straight:
We are used to thinking of the scribes and Pharisees as meticulous men who carefully observed the jots and tittles [of God’s law]. This is not the portrait found in the Gospels. The scribes and Pharisees that Jesus encountered were grossly, obviously, and flagrantly breaking the Mosaic law, while keeping all kinds of man-made traditions. Jesus' condemnation of them in Matthew 23 certainly makes this clear, as does a famous story in John 8. There we read that the scribes and Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman taken “in the very act” of adultery (John 8:1–11). How did they know where to find her? Where was the man who was caught with her?
Apparently he was one of their cronies. Also, when Jesus asked for anyone " without sin" (that is, not guilty of the same crime) to cast the first stone, they all went away, because they were all adulterers.3

A persistent belief beleaguers the church because the Pharisees have been portrayed as strict adherents to the law. Since Jesus had His greatest theological disputes with the Pharisees; therefore, Jesus was opposed to the law. This is not what the Bible teaches. When the “scribes and the Pharisees . . . seated themselves in the chair of Moses,” that is, when the law was properly taught and applied, the people were to do all that they told them (Matt. 23:2–3). At the same time, Jesus admonished the people “not to do according to their deeds” (23:3).
