A Little Golden Wire in Our Constitution

      Our Constitution is a Complicated Document. It is not just a bunch of words. It contains all the Dreams, Hopes, and Aspirations of not only Our Founding Fathers who wrote it, but also the Dreams of those who lost their lives fighting for it in the Revolution. It Contains Biblical Principles and Precepts, and most importantly it was Guided by God in His Answer to the Prayers of the Founders. Do you know the Story? It isn't taught in School anymore.

      The Constitutional Convention was in turmoil. Hour after hour had gone by and not one Word or Idea had been written down. Founders were grumpy, arguing, discouraged, about to give up. Ben Franklin knew they were trying to do it all without God's Blessing. He asked for Prayer. Sincerely the Founders did so, and the Constitution began to roll off the pens of the Delegates. Don't ever let any atheist rogue tell you God was not in the U.S. Constitution.

      But there is also a little Golden Wire Called Freedom, Liberty and Justice for All, that runs from one Paragraph to the others in the Constitution, a Golden Thread if you will. It runs not only from Precept to Precept, but it reaches out to the Hearts of the Founders themselves, and it is linked to every Patriot, Living and Dead; It is Linked to you if you Love America. You can't see it, but it is there. Gold you see is our best conductor of Energy used for Communication. Each tiny wire Links People in Atlanta to those in Florida, Texas, Minnesota, Alaska, and Even New York and California, as hard as many Liberals there are trying to escape it's reach, but the Constitution, Like the Bible, is a Living Document, it cries out.
      That Link is Patriotism, it is Love of Country and Flag, it is Pride in our Great Country. It leads to the vestiges of common sense and Bipartisanism. These ideas are not dead but they are sure hard to find within Liberals in today's Political Climate. Democrats, Socialists, Antifa, most Muslims, (also a Political Party not a religion), and all Communists hate Our Constitution, they are Vowing to Resist it at every turn. Make no mistake that is what they are doing when they Resist and Protest Donald J. Trump.

      President Trump has done something Wonderful for our Constitution, not just supporting it, which he does; but more he has Appointed Brett Kavanaugh, an Originalist, for the Supreme Court. As an Originalist Kavanaugh supports not only the entire Constitution, but the Original Intent of the Founders who Wrote it. This is Exactly what all Justices should strive to do with every Fiber of their Being. Our Supreme Court was in Danger from Liberal Justices foolishly Appointed by previous administrations. Our Constitution is a Conservative Document, Fiscally, Prospectively, and Morally. Liberals don't even understand it, and certainly don't Respect it. Kavanaugh is an Answer to many Prayers as we get our Country back to its Founding Principles. Thank God our President has appointed such a Superior Candidate.

      If you have a Midterm Election coming up, go Vote, Support the Candidates that best support Trump. True Christians can never vote a Democrat Ticket in good Conscience. Killing Babies, Homosexual Perversion, and Resisting God and the Constitution are not Options for Christians. Ever. We are in a Battle to Preserve our Country. Do your part and Vote Conservatively and Vote the Bible.

What is Socialism by John Porter


A Letter From: John Porter
To: Americans Everywhere
August, 2018


       I have been asked by many people around the Country if I would write a definition of Socialism, its inherent evils and the effects it would have upon us as individuals. The following is my attempt at answering that request.  For certain, it would be a death blow to capitalism as well as to the God-given freedoms which we have enjoyed for so long in the United States.
       Our country’s economic system is called capitalism. It is based upon private ownership of property, which includes the means of production for the creation of goods or services for income and profit by individuals. It is a free market economic system based on the recognition of individual rights to own property (lands, businesses, goods, etc.).  Such rights give individuals security and a means to control their own affairs, thus their own destiny. Under capitalism, private citizens, with their ownership of property, are responsible for the production and distribution of goods. 
       Whereas, Socialism is government ownership of property and control of production and distribution. The essential characteristic of Socialism is the denial of individual property rights. Individuals have no control over their own affairs and destiny. Almost every aspect of living will be regulated by the government.
       It has been said, "Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, or collective good."
       I do not believe the majority of the American people would knowingly or willingly adopt Socialism, once understood, even though a poll conducted this week showed 57% of the Democrats polled would. It has been seeping in, little by little, over the past one hundred years pushed by the Democrat Party's progressives and liberals.  If we aren’t careful, every fragment of a socialist state will be adopted a little slice at a time, until one day America will be a full-blown socialist nation, without realizing how it happened.
       Karl Marx, the nineteenth century German socialist revolutionary, taught that “Democracy is the road to Socialism” and preached that “Socialism represents the stage following Capitalism in a country transforming to Communism.” The platforms of Liberals, Progressives and Socialists such as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and other Democrat Party leaders are drawn from either Communism, Marxism or Fascism. They are all varying degrees of Socialism known as totalitarian concepts, differing in degrees only. There is not one example of a Socialist country, past or present, ever producing the level of prosperity and happiness for the people which our Capitalist system of private enterprise, individual ownership of property, has accomplished. If there were, people would not be cutting fences, climbing walls, swimming rivers or loading onto boats to escape those countries to get into the United States.
       The Representative Republic of the United States with our Capitalist and Free Enterprise Market System has been the world’s dominant economic system for over two hundred years. Within it, the means of production of goods and the distribution of those goods are owned by individuals. Since America’s beginnings, the freedom of private ownership and free enterprise with its spirit of competition, have led to the abundance of food and products, more efficiency, lower prices, better products and rising prosperity. The production of food and materials and private individual prosperity has never been – can never be – equaled by any socialist country.
       The people of almost every country on the continent of Africa are starving to death. Daily, we are shown the fly blown faces of these starving people. Venezuela is in total chaos with hungry people rioting in the streets. Every one of those countries have Socialist governments of some form. Every country on the continent of Europe is today experiencing the results of the evils of their respective degrees of Socialism with extremely high taxes. Despite tax rates of 75% and more Socialist countries all over the world are without enough food and goods to support the people. The Democrat Party, now becoming a strong proponent of Socialism, is wanting to lead our Country toward that same end.
       How would Socialism affect YOU as an individual? By necessity, tax rates in America will reach upward of 90%, and our way of life will be exactly like that in Europe, Africa, Central America, Asia, Russia and elsewhere. Socialized health care will mandate who your doctor will be, even whether or not you are a candidate for treatment of an illness. It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to buy a new home, land, a car, or reap the benefits of your own labor.  Birth control will be mandated, private ownership of property will be denied, starting and maintaining a business impossible. Even the small things in our everyday lives such as the kind of windows you may put in your house and the type of light bulbs you may buy.  The list of evils of Socialism is a long one. We hear a great deal from the proponents of Socialism about the sharing of wealth.  Be warned – Socialism is nothing more than the sharing of misery.
       The preachers of Socialism use the plight of the poor, the disenfranchised and the jobless with their promises to equalize income, share the wealth, level the economic playing field, take from those who have and give to those who have not, every thing will be free. The concept that with hard work and perseverance anybody can get ahead economically in the United States will be destroyed. Again, misery will be shared by all.
       Most Americans think this could not happen here. I used to think that … until I realized differently.  Not only can it happen here, IT WILL happen here if we allow the Socialist Democrat Party to gain control of our government. In the primaries now going on and the general election on November 6, this year we are being given the opportunity to choose our destiny. The choices are clear, the bondage of one world Socialism and its miseries or America first with the individual freedom of Capitalism and its prosperity.
       The Democrat Party being lead by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and others are committed to destroying capitalism, that which has made America great, and replacing it with Socialism. Their giant first step will be to destroy President Trump because he looms large in their path with his dedication to America First Capitalism and Constitutional mind set. Today, the Democrat Party stands on the rocket launching pad for a Socialist States of America and a farewell to the Constitutional Republic of The United States of America. The date for launching is set for November 6, 2018. The American people who love freedom and responsibility can cause it to fizzle or watch as it soar in flight. No one will be exempt from the evils and misery of Socialism, not you, not your children, not your grandchildren.
       We, that would be you and me, have got to fight what is happening.  We cannot sit this one out.  We cannot rely on someone else doing it for us.  We have a duty and an obligation to protect, defend and preserve our Country, our freedom, our way of life. We don’t have a lot of time. IF we lose, that loss will come at an unthinkable cost to every American.
The price of freedom has always come with a hefty price tag. Not a single American soldier has ever died in defense of Socialism.
You are free to distribute this letter in any way you wish.
STOPPING SOCIALISM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE BEFORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TODAY.

Thank you until next time;
John Porter

Woe to the Spiritually Blind

   
      I have a quite Liberal Facebook Friend who doesn't get it on most Political Issues. That is OK!, most Liberals don't get it on any issue. But Moral issues are another matter. This man is a Church Member. When the Democrat Party Platform specifically calls for Murdering Unborn Babies by using our Tax Dollars to fund Planned Parenthood, it becomes a Moral and an Ethical Issue. When this Party Boos God at its National Convention with Live TV Coverage; it becomes a Moral Issue. When the Platform encourages Abnormal Sex as if it were Normal; it becomes a Moral issue. My contention is that no person calling themselves Christian can in good Conscience vote for any Candidate supporting the Democrat Platform or running on their ticket.

       I told my friend recently to Wake Up on a certain issue. He told me he was both Awake and Alert. I contend he is not. I contend in fact that somewhere around 90% of Christians are not. They are in many ways Spiritually Blind. Oh, they may know Jesus. They may have Professed Him as their Personal Savior. They may Pray every day, attend Church 3 or 4 times a week, tithe, work in some Missionary Effort, Volunteer at VBS, etc., etc., etc. But are their eyes open to the Whole Picture? I say not!
 

      You can see Poverty. You can care about it deeply. But if you don't realize the world has no cure for Poverty, what good does seeing and caring do? Jesus said: 
Matthew 26:11 (KJV) 11  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 

      We will always have the poor to feed and clothe. There is a new Crop of Poor every day. We feed them, clothe them, dress them for a job interview, buy them some tools, get them hired and trained and then what? Some succeed, some quit and we get to start the cycle all over again, I used do exactly what I just outlined in a Welfare to Work Agency I headed. One day a girl I had had pity on and helped with the down payment on a car was found by the Police, the same day she received the car, passed out from sniffing glue, in the driver's seat of the car I had helped provide so she could drive to work.
      It isn't the clothing, the job, or the car that the poor need. It is a Life with Purpose, and that Purpose has to be Jesus or it won't work. Jesus is always the answer to whatever the Problem.
      You can see Pain. You can have very real Sympathy, but if you just say "I'll be Praying for you.", there has been no real intercession on their behalf. I always try to make myself Pray right there on the spot. How dare we forget to do what we say? God never forgets. He keeps every tear we cry in a bottle with our label on it.
Psalm 56:8 (KJV) 8  Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
      God knows every wrong turn we have ever made, and he has kept a record of every tear our wanderings have caused us. We need to share how God wants to help when we are hurting. We may understand it as Mature Christians, but baby Christians may not, they need support. 

      Finally as Christians we should be able to See The Truth. Jesus said:
 Mark 8:18 (KJV) 18  Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
      We Christians are supposed to have been taught the Truth. We have heard it and read it in Sunday School Class for all these years. We have had Discipleship Training. We should be able to look at the Democrat Platform, or the News, or a Late Night Comedy Routine and see what is behind it from a Spiritual Perspective. The Holy Spirit is supposed to Guide us in All Truth.
 John 16:13 (KJV) 13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
      Yes, You can tell if say David Muir of ABC News, or Steven Colbert, or Nancy Pelosi is telling you the truth, no matter what the format. Unfortunately we even have to watch our Pastors, especially those that don't open the Bible in their Sermons like they should. If what your Pastor is saying does not line up with the Bible, you need a new Church and a new Pastor. Even a Pastor, like my friend, can be Asleep at the wheel, or worse Spiritually Blind.
