Emerald Coast Conversations

Thanks to my buddy Ken Walsh of The Wakeup Call on Fort Walton Beach's WFTW Newstalk 1260 for inviting me to be on his Sunday morning program Emerald Coast Conversations. We discussed the upcoming 5th Annual Hope Rides Alone Family Reunion Banquet which will be on Saturday, September 15, 2012 at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach. You read all the information at this link and below is the conversation in three parts. Please do consider being apart of this wonderful patriotic event.

Part 1: Emerald Coast Conversations Part 1

Part 2: Emerald Coast Conversations Part 2

Part 3: Emerald Coast Conversations Part 3

Team Obama in the panic mode

Oh yes, Team Obama is in the full panic mode. Check this email I just got from them:

Obama - Biden
David --

Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands' Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who's already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.

That's the same Sheldon Adelson who gave $15 million to help Newt Gingrich against Mitt Romney in the primary, and said he may give $100 million -- basically, whatever it costs -- to defeat Barack Obama.

We're starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick. Before Ryan's even been fully introduced to the American people, he's attending a private fundraiser in Vegas with the top super PAC donor.

We're doing this differently, with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford -- but it's going to take a lot more of us to match them. Will you donate $3 or more today?

My Florida Primary Picks

NOTE: A special thanks and hat tip to Steve Marusich for his research and insights to many of our local candidates.

I know some of you here in the Florida Panhandle are chomping at the bit to do your early voting, but I will not be casting my vote until August 14th so I can continue researching the candidates.

If you are not in a hurry I would advise you of the same. Voter turnout will no doubt be low so the lines will be short if at all.

However, if I were to vote tomorrow, here is where I'm leaning. Keep in mind that I vote in the Republican Primary in Precinct 34 of Santa Rosa County:

US Senate -- Dave Weldon

Public Defender -- Bruce Miller

State Rep District 3 -- Jayer Williamson

Clerk of Court -- Donny "Don" Spencer

Sheriff -- Wendell Hall

Superintendent of Schools -- After further review, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. George McCormick.

Supervisor of Elections -- Tappie Villane. Sorry Buck Lee, but you've been on the taxpayer dime for far too long. Plus and more importantly I've worked with Tappie before and she is the consummate professional.

Board of County Commissioners District 1 -- Jim Williamson. Jim is the incumbent and father of Jayer. Jim is not taking his incumbency for granted and his working hard for his votes. He visited the house and very humbly asked for my vote. Plus the other two were kinda late entries which gives me reason to doubt the preparation and perseverance.

Board of County Commissioners District 3 -- this is my anti-incumbent vote (along with voting against Buck Lee) and plus J. Ed Carson is impressive. At least one new commissioner on the board of Ed's caliber will shake things up a bit.

Board of County Commissioners District 5 -- I'm voting for the incumbent Lane Lynchard who I believe to be a good and honorable man. This will be his second term.

Circuit Judge, 1st Judicial Circuit Group 15 -- Terry Ketchel 

School Board District 2 -- Joseph Pool. Sorry Mr. Winkles, 20 years on the school board is long enough.

School Board District 4 -- Jenny Granse

Republican Party State Committeman -- Uriah Matthews

Non-binding referendum -- Yes

 

Are the Dems Rope-A-Dopin’ the GOP?

The Democrats are adding a new plank to their platform, one that is seemingly an election night loser. They are proposing to endorse same-sex marriage in their upcoming 2012 Democratic Party Platform. Writing in the Daily Beast Eleanor Clift reports that for the committee this was a no-brainer.

Either Democrats are stupid, ideologically-attached to gay marriage, or something else is up.

The outcry from African-American churches and the fact proponents for same-sex marriage legalization are 0 for 31 on ballot initiatives makes this a large risk in November for President Obama and Democrat candidates.

Unless the Democratic Party has no intention of approving this plank.

The Democratic Nominating Convention follows a few days after the GOP convention and coronation of Mitt Romney as their candidate. Now for Republicans, with a large part of their base being evangelical values voters, this a winning issue to run against.

Therein lies the problem. If the GOP comes out strong against the Dems plank, which they should but only time will tell, or if the media pushes them into the national debate, then the GOP will be rightfully aligned against gay marriage.

But come September 6 and the Democrats leave Charlotte with or without the gay marriage plank in place, and the help of the Obama Press Corps, aka mainstream media, the gay marriage plank can become an election day issue.

And then the October surprise can be unleashed. The Obama campaign will be able to easily show the hypocrisy of Mitt Romney and the GOP for nominating the Father of Gay Marriage in Massachusetts.

They will be able to show from the very words of Goodrich vs. the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that the Massachusetts Supreme Court ordered the state legislature, NOT Mitt Romney, to legalize same-sex marriage. They will also be able to show that the legislature ignored the court's ruling and that then Governor Mitt Romney illegally ordered marriage license applications to be changed from "Husband" and "Wife" to "Party A" and "Party B." They will also be able to easily counter Romney's defense of saying he was following the orders of the court when the court recognized it had no power to enforce its own ruling.

Why will they be able to do this so easily? Because documented proof has been available for six years at MassResistance.org. Not only that, but every major Christian and conservative organization, and GOP establishment types have been made abundantly aware of these facts. I have personally been privy to many of the emails.

In fact, the primary source of those emails, Gregg Jackson, co-authored a book with radio host Steve Deace titled "We Won't Get Fooled Again: Where the Christian Right Went Wrong and How to Make America Right Again," which outlines not only this sad chapter but others too.

Again I could be wrong about the Dems having this up their sleeve, but do you really believe the Obama War Machine is completely ignorant of this information?

What better way to suppress conservative evangelical votes than this October surprise?

Only time will tell.

Roseanne Barr and Me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I tweeted the following about Roseanne Barr:

@TheRealRoseanne Barr Semi Apologizes http://cbsloc.al/OqiBjg  Praying Roseanne comes to Christ; join me Christians. #chickfila

Retweeted by Roseanne Barr
What follows is my running conversation with her and others who decided to butt in. You can follow it here or on my Twitter account @aletheiatruth:
Roseanne Barr ‏@TheRealRoseanne@aletheiatruth not your right wing CONNED servantive Christ though- that guy is a fascist construct-look into TRUTH#christwasasocialist
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne I'm not conned, my Jesus is Jesus of the Bible. Please read John 14:6 & 1John 1:9
Roseanne Barr ‏@TheRealRoseanne@aletheiatruth I will if you will read Balzac's "La Comedie humaine" page 102.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne that's a fair trade! In fact I'll read the whole book (just downloaded to my Kindle) if you'll read all the Gospel of John
Christina Grotts ‏@christigrotts: @aletheiatruth @TheRealRoseanne I think Jews are closer to christ than christians are. He was a jew after all, and they have traditions.
Roseanne Barr ‏@TheRealRoseanne@christigrotts @aletheiatruth he was a fine jewish socialist whose whole point was to keep religion and rome separate
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne @christigrotts Disagree that he was a socialist in that instead of having govt feed the 5,000, He multiplied what was there
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@christigrotts @therealroseanne Messianic Jews very devout Christians. Traditions don't make us holy; only Christ can do that.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne @christigrotts Agree that Christ wanted to keep church free from state but He recognized the role of government.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne @christigrotts Respectively disagree. Socialism is 19th Century man-made economic system. Jesus taught Golden Rule Luke 6
Christina Grotts ‏@christigrotts@TheRealRoseanne @aletheiatruth if the govt is corrupt, you can't rely on them to take care of their own. So it's best to teach the people.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@christigrotts @therealroseanne American govt is corrupt because WE the People accept it. We get govt we deserve
(Now here is where it gets somewhat vile...)
Jane Barton ‏@bollbar@aletheiatruth @TheRealRoseanne I'mTHRILLED that holy Christians eat Chickfil chicken anus! EAT MORE CHICKEN! EAT MORE ANUS! I stand WITH U!

Jane Barton ‏@bollbar@aletheiatruth Oh HOLY JEEESUS!!!! I thank GOD for sending me CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN ANUS to EAT!!! WE ARE BLESSED!!!!
Christina Grotts ‏@christigrotts@aletheiatruth @TheRealRoseanne the bible is a compilation of what one group of men thought we should do, edited and changed just for us.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@christigrotts @TheRealRoseanne Actually the Bible is composed of 66 books written by 40 men over 1500 years & they all point to Jesus.
Christina Grotts ‏@christigrotts@aletheiatruth @TheRealRoseanne disagree. No one deserves to be ripped off by people who vowed to protect our rights. It's like parenting.
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@christigrotts @TheRealRoseanne Understand, but we continue to elect the same type of people & get same results. Time to hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE
Roseanne Barr ‏@TheRealRoseanne@aletheiatruth @christigrotts the bible was written by a woman named "J"
aletheiagroup ‏@aletheiatruth@TheRealRoseanne @christigrotts Really? That's a new one on me. Do tell!
(And we'll let vile Jane have the last blasphemous word...)
Please pray for all three women who responded; you can tell by their responses they all need Jesus.

Audit the Fed

 

The House of Representatives just overwhelmingly passed, by a vote of 327-98, legislation to audit the Federal Reserve. The bill was written by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). This large majority of support in the House shows that there is a great desire for more oversight on this autonomous monetary policymaking entity.

Congressman Paul's son Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is introducing similar legislation in the Senate. Do not get your hopes up though America. As is the case with any good idea that make America stronger, a vote will not even be had.

This is why conservatives must win back the Senate, to regain control of it and to be sure we keep the squishy RINOs in line.

Until Nov. 6, please contact your senators and ask them to demand that Harry Reid allow Sen. Paul's legislation to be voted on.

You Didn’t Build That

Those infamous words are no doubt haunting Barack Obama and his campaign staff. They are in the serious damage control mode as their sinking ship is taking on more water from the self-inflicted would from their perilous captain.

What is at issue here is the sin of covetousness and we explore this through the lens of biblical and historical truth in this week’s The Truth Newsletter:

The Injustice of Chief Justice John Roberts

“Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority opinion is so full of contradictions and convolutions that he ought to resign for that reason alone. The fact that the Court’s ruling was an egregious blow to liberty is all the more reason to ignore this judicial stupidity.”

That is my take on the recent Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare and we tackle this head on in this week’s The Truth Newsletter.

Christians Must Stand in the Word

Our men's ministry at Midway Baptist Church has had the blessing and privilege of hearing this strong man of faith preach. His church is our sister church and this pastor is a close, personal friend of our pastor, Dr. Dennis Brunet. These mighty warriors have stood in the trenches opposing evil and both ministries are being blessed because of it. Please share this video with all your friends.
