About 1700 years ago, a certain Roman emperor by the name of Julian the Apostate reigned.  He was called the ‘Apostate’ because of his fierce rejection of Christianity and his sometimes brutal attempt to repress it.  Julian was smart.  He knew that he could not just eradicate Christianity without dealing with the things that made it attractive.  He complained:

Whilst the pagan priests neglect the poor, the hated Galileans devote themselves to works of charity, and by a display of false compassion have established and given effect to their pernicious errors. See their love-feasts, and their tables spread for the indigent. Such practice is common among them, and causes a contempt for our gods.

In response, Julian The Apostate launched government philanthropic programs in an attempt to render the Christian message impotent.

The astute Christian reader will already see where this is going.  ...

Guess what? It turns out the Chinese are kind of curious about how President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform plans would impact America’s huge fiscal deficit. Government officials are using his Asian trip as an opportunity to ask the White House questions. Detailed questions.

One in teacher in heaven, One Jihadist disappointed.

Pervez Masih, a 40-year-old Christian worker, saved scores of lives at the double-storey cafeteria, where around 400 female students were present at the time of the attack.

“There would have been dozens of deaths had the suicide bomber not been blocked by Pervez Masih,” said Saifur Rehman, a senior security official of the IIU.

The other hero, Mohammad Shaukat, survived the attack but he is fighting for his life on a bed in the surgical ward of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, as a shot fired by the suicide bomber hit him in lower abdomen.

Narrating the scene of the suicide attack on the cafeteria for women, Shaukat told Dawn that: “The attacker clad in a black burka was heading towards the cafeteria for female students at a time when they were having their lunch. I felt something wrong as no girl student, even one who observes veil, wears a head-to-toe burka on the women campus. I intercepted the bomber, who shot me, and I fell down but Pervez, who witnessed the scene, understood the designs of suicide bomber and held him at the entrance of the dining hall where the blast took place.”

One parachute - a born again Pastor with a history of charitable works who leads a righteous life has raised his children to be upstanding members of society - A healthy man with everything to live for and a sinner who has never done anything for another human being, uses drugs, is just plain mean and has a history of depression. Only way to live is to use the parachute ... who will use it?

The pastor makes the decision easy, he gives the parachute to the sinner. Says, "I know I am going to heaven I've had a good life, the sinner still has a chance to be saved."

Why are Christian's risking their lives in Muslim countries to battle hate with love?

Doctors take to the streets on healthcare

On Saturday, November 21, all across the nation an event will occur that has received very little attention in the media.  The real doctors--not the ones who run the American Medical Association--are taking to the streets on the healthcare bills that are now before Congress.

Mounting evidence that independent voters have soured on the Democrats is prompting a debate among party officials about what rhetorical and substantive changes are needed to halt the damage.

Following serious setbacks with independents in off-year elections earlier this month, White House officials attributed the defeats to local factors and said President Barack Obama sees no need to reposition his own image or the Democratic message.

Since then, however, a flurry of new polls makes clear that Democrats are facing deeper problems with independents—the swing voters who swung dramatically toward the party in 2006 and 2008 but who now are registering deep unease with the amount of spending and debt called for under Obama’s agenda in an era of one-party rule in Washington.

A Gallup Poll released last week offered a disturbing glimpse about the state of play: just 14 percent of independents approve of the job Congress is doing, the lowest figure all year. In just the past few days alone, surveys have shown Democratic incumbents trailing Republicans among independent voters by double-digit margins in competitive statewide contests in places as varied as Connecticut, Ohio and Iowa.

Looks like the economy is going to be a key issue.

It is a violation of the law for Government Agencies to be involved in campaigning operations.

• July 28, 2009, 4:47 pm, Email from unknown Obama campaign activist to Yosi Sergant, former NEA Communications Director: "It was good to see you a few weeks ago in Washington. After our conversation, I thought it would be a really good idea to convene via a conference call some significant tastemakers/producers who can support United We Serve. As many of us contributed our services to the campaign, I would love to gather some of those folks to use their enthusiasm to get behind the President's very important service initiative. Here are some people who I think should be part of the call. [Names redacted.]"
• August 6, 2009, Conference Call Invitation sent via email by Yosi Sergant: "A call has come in to our generation. A call from the top. A call from a house that is White. A call that we must answer. And to answer it, we need you...United We Serve is President Obama's call to service challenging all Americans to engage in sustained, meaningful community service. With the knowledge that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools, President Obama is asking us to come together to help lay a new foundation for growth, focusing on core areas of the recovery agenda – health care, energy and environment, safety and security, education, community renewal."
• August 6, 2009, 9:46 pm, Email from Unknown to Yosi Sergeant: "How can I get down Yosi? I'm working with [redacted] doing brand consulting and event production for [redacted]. Love to see how we could collaborate our corporate funds with what you're working on."
• August 12, 2009, 3:30 pm, Follow-up Email from Unknown participant to Yosi Sergant: "As per a suggestion on the call, below is a list of action items that might be helpful to inspire an idea on how you can participate in the campaign...Ex) If you are a graphic designer tap into your professional network and organize other designers to create a series of United We Serve posters that can be featured in print, through social media and on serv.gov. Ex) If you are a DJ, tap into your professional network and organize other DJs to promote Serve.gov or a specific local opportunity on the radio or at a club."

No indication of FOIA requests yet  - this could becoming interesting - I watch their site for FOIA requests. To be a created or saved job the job would need to last for a year. A considerable amount of the funds have been sent to Democratic pet projects. GOP may have a field day with this on upcoming elections.

The use of the word "fraud" would be correct for jobs that were temporary or for funds that went to CEO bonuses etc etc.

The greedy have a problem with the free market. When people are free to say no to spending their money the greedy are forced to give equal value for equal value. Trading is done without force.

Interventionism, which is a step towards socialism but does not place complete control of services or assets in the hands of the Government, Is by its nature more attractive to greed.

Take for example Cap N Trade; here we have a system which requires trade in carbon credits for an energy company to continue to provide a service. Nothing could be more alluring to people who idolize wealth; and people are lining up to exploit the need requirement that some will be forced in to trade.

Look at the national teachers union; Another example of trade by force; teachers are required to be members and fund the lobbying efforts of whatever the union wants to spend their membership funds on.

Examples of trade in the bible are done without force. “Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between me and you? Bury your dead – Genesis 23:15”

Normally hard assets such as gold track the value of the US dollar. When the dollar falls, stock price of companies with assets increase as does Gold which has gone up more than 10% in less than two months. Note the recent increase in gold price without the drop in the value of the dollar as Obama begins trip to China.
