Political Statement # 1, 2, 3, & 4 of Many to come:

SAY NO TO ANY RENEWAL OF THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE PATRIOT ACT LEGISLATION IMMEDIATELY!
1. This current legislation places in vain all of the blood of every solder and citizen who has ever, at any time in our hundreds of years of history, fought in any battle or war to defend this land we now call America, Home of the Free, Home of the Brave!
2. In 1976, after doing very well on all my Air Force test, I failed their physical twice with an F4 or 4F, but I tried. AMERICANS ARE ALREADY PATRIOTS.
3. The current version was written by rights destroying legalist and Pharisees who think of us Americans as subordinate slaves.
4. On the sides of Police cars I used to read the phrase, "To Protect and Serve". The question is now; To Protect and Serve Who?
5. PEOPLE YOU HAVE GOT TO GET OFF OF YOUR BUTTS AND CONFRONT YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS ABOUT THEIR VOTE ON THE PATRIOT ACT AND MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS NOW! I WISH I HAD A WAY TO POST ALL THEIR VOTES ON OUR SITE OR KNEW OF A LINK THAT LIST ALL VOTES BY ALL SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN ON ALL ISSUES.
6. CONFRONT THEM AND ALSO PUSH THAT EVERY BILL MUST STAND INDIVIDUALLY, ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT RIDERS, AND NOT AS A PACKAGE!
7. This Patriot issue is too important and it is not going away on it's own. Don't be shy about asking your friend, neighbor, and relative where they stand on this issue and to take a stand with you in addressing your politicians. They are supposed to "Work" for you.
8. Giving up our rights and privacy are not how you beat bad people. Bad people take your rights and privacy.
November 29, 2002. ABC Meet the Press with John Stephonopolis in an interview with Pat Robertson:

Pastor Robertson, you have a venue called the 700 Club designed for lost and hurting people to find a path to Christ. Yet, you have taken this venue for bringing the unsaved to Christ and used it for your biased political views. Yes, it is your program, but you carry the program under the banner of all Christians. For this you have always been on my bad side.

However, on November 29, 2002 you were extremely stand-up and are to be commended for taking the stand of a, "stand-up person", in acknowledging and telling the truth about our almost elected official! I am sure this never came easy for you. This does not come easy to me, but my hats off to you!

Even though he never won the popular or electoral vote he had connections, occupies the office now and we must support the office, but my hats off to you Pat! If our judicial system has failed to legalism, (manipulation or interpretation of "The letter of the law"), instead of justice...
Regarding the Christian Coalition
1. To be short. We all have opinions on everything in this world, Heaven and Hell, and NO two opinions are ever exactly alike. The Bible has definite answers to bring us all in focus.
2. We here have never been Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal, but prayed for the vote of, unfortunately, "the lesser of two evils?". We watched the attacks on our previous president, President Clinton, in shame, not for his obvious sins that are between him and God, but for those also, "With Sin", throwing stones at our President on a personal level (I bet our President's sins are no greater than mine, yours or King David). And, these attacks were not really done in worry of his direction for the nation but for another political party's position. Those who would desire an almost elected president to occupy our highest office. Another real slam on our Judicial branch of government. If the judicial branch falls short...
3. Almost elected:
4. does not receive the popular vote
5. there is proven corruption in local voting districts
6. does not receive the true electoral vote
7. makes a mockery of our judicial system
8. yet they still claim an office
  1. (Surely by now someone must have told them they did not win any election).
9. Again, I have never claimed to be of one party or another but tried to vote for the lesser of two evils. But I saw what happened with my own eyes. Everyone knows what happened. After watching others brag about their association of a party that supported this action, it is hard for me to have any respect for that party, or my friends who want to be recognized with that party, especially those with strong "Christian" church affiliations. Legalist. When the draft is initiated the children of this 47% better be the front grunts in the war for an oil field or I will join others in the scream coalition for justice of draft dodgers and rich kids getting cushion positions in the military.
  1. I am am now noticing many of those of the 47% distancing themselves from their vote and bragging rights.
10. I have received letters from the Christian Coalition of yours and enjoy programs on the 700 club. However, my letter from them on October 13, 1998 was tragic.
11. I want everyone to know our opinion that the actions of the Christian Coalition are NOT those of a Christian Sinner Saved By Grace. Remember, Puritans, Legalist & Christian Heretics hide behind and soil our Christian banner. True Christians are NOT prefect and sin many times every day. If were were perfect we would be Christ.
12. The Bible tells us to take responsibility for our government (Vote). The Bible does not tell us to use our Christianity, or a pulpit, to promote a specific political party. Those who do are the ones that will have to apologize to many on Judgment day. Yes, we are a Nation that was created under God, but we are of Christ's Kingdom. The Kingdom of Jesus Christ IS NOT of this world. The Bible clearly tells us to pray for our political leaders. The Bible clearly shows examples of how God deals with each of us and our sin. In no example does a government organization replace God in the judgment of others.
13. Reader, potential client, or client; If you received this letter dated October 13, 1998 from the Christian Coalition I apologize to you for my Christian brothers who have taken what appears to be a most self-righteous position and on a national basis. This attitude reminds me of a comment that "if everyone thought just like I think then the world would be the perfect place to live", Dah! A Puritan? Puritans, Legalist & Christian Heretics hide under and soil the Christian banner.
14. No we are not Democrat or Republican and we do try to vote for the lesser of two evils.
15. Primarily,
- Democrats whine, roll over, and meddle
  - Democrats must not be very smart.
    - They seem not to understand that you cannot debate lies
    - Without guns, thugs and murders will run rampant and we will definitely become a police state
- Republicans are greedy, steal, lie, and are bullies
  - Most Republicans must not be very smart. They actually think that by association they are going to be part of the wealthiest one percent.
1. Both parties want to take away our rights, they just go at it from different directions.
2. However, anyone who knows anything knows that Republicans throw better sex parties than Bill could imagine. So, to make sure I get invited to the parties I do socialize with all.
This prayer was actually spoken before the Kansas State Legislature; perhaps we should elect the preacher. (Now, neither your nor I will have the "exact" same view point as this minister, but overall he does drive a hard nail.) Still, I would hate to see parts of this prayer interpreted for the use of Puritans so that we must again use one of those dog collar bibs to hide our bodies while bathing or be burned at the stake! (Could The Patriot Act Be a Start?)

It is all relevant. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

On the evening news I recently saw where a senator or congressman was complaining about the way Christians are treated. He is confused. The anger is at Puritan's. Legalist, and Christian Heretics hiding behind the Christian banner.

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically correct generalities.
But what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness. The response was immediate and a number of legislators walked out during the prayer. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church had logged more than 5,000
phone calls, with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.

Commentator Paul Harvey aired the prayer on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other program he has ever aired.

The Central Christian Church is now receiving international requests for
copies of the prayer from India, Africa and Korea. Minister Joe's prayer is
reprinted herein.

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who call evil good.', but that's exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reverted our values. We confess that. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism. We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism. We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle. We have exploited the poor and called it lottery. We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We
have killed our unborn children and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

We have abused power and called it political savvy. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity
and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the
time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent this great state.
Grant them the wisdom to rule, and may their decisions direct us to the
center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Savior,
Jesus Christ. Amen."
