The Cops: Is It a Question of Bad Apples?

FK – It is a curious thing to me how so many can draw a paycheck from the police state and still claim to be ‘conservative’ and to love Liberty, when Liberty is not what we have here and most of our ‘laws’ are dedicated to destroying it.

Lot’s of ‘good guys’ have shot lots of other ‘good guys’ into ditches throughout history for a paycheck or a retirement plan, or simply because they were ordered to and lacked the courage to say “No!”

Will you obey your Oath?

Poll: 60% of Republicans want Boehner out

Boehner has lost the confidence of his own party voters, according to the telephone survey conducted Dec. 26-30 by pollster Pat Caddell on behalf of People’s Poll.

The national poll reveals that only 25 percent of GOP voters would vote to keep Boehner.

The official speaker’s election is scheduled for Jan. 6.

It was in a commentary in the Washington Times, Phillips explained why he thinks Boehner should be replaced.

“A month after its incredible victory, the GOP squandered its mandate, surrendering to the Democrats,” he wrote. “The GOP-led House of Representatives did not proclaim its mandate and hold off on major decisions until the Republican majority in the Senate was sworn in. No, they went to the GOP position of preemptive surrender and gave President Obama and the Democrats almost everything they wanted.

“Despite the pleas and demands from the base, the GOP did nothing to stop Mr. Obama’s executive amnesty. They even rewarded left-wing billionaires who had spent millions to keep the Democrats in power by extending so-called ‘Green Energy’ subsidies,” he wrote. “The architect of the Republican surrender was House Speaker John Boehner.”

Despite Boehner’s earlier reliance on the tea party, as soon as he was in office, he ignored the movement, Phillips wrote.

FK – They’re all boneheads. Call them anyway. Then get ready for what will be required.

More conservative Republicans say they won’t back Boehner for speaker

The nine members who have declared their opposition to Boehner are Yoho and Gohmert, and Reps. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla.; Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.; Steve King, R-Iowa; Dave Brat, R-Va.; Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind.; Water Jones, R-N.C.; and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

“We have heard from a lot of Republicans that said, ‘I would vote for somebody besides Speaker Boehner, but nobody will put their name out there,'” Gohmert told “Fox & Friends” on Sunday morning, in announcing his own bid. “That changed [Saturday] with Ted Yoho.” Gohmert also hinted that at least one other member would launch a challenge from within the GOP.

Nanny Police State? Parents Are Calling the Cops to Supervise them Spanking their Children

FK – If spanking encourages more ‘aggression’ later in life maybe we need more of it since this is now a nation of pacified dumbed-down enslaved morons who have no idea they’re slaves and no conception that it’s their right, duty and responsibility to rectify this situation by whatever means necessary.

Experts Forecast the End of Privacy as We Know It

The main driver behind people leading more transparent lives will continue to be the same in the coming years, observed Robert Neivert, COO of Private.me.

“People have begun to accept the concept that they can exchange personal information for services,” he told TechNewsWorld. “In the last six or seven years, we’ve begun to accept that giving up your personal information is a form of currency.”

Today’s privacy debate will bemuse the denizens of 2025, contended Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist.

“By 2025, the current debate about privacy will seem quaint and old-fashioned,” he wrote in his survey comments.

FK – Are you a product, or a ‘human resource?’ If you’re OK with that you deserve whatever they do to you.

Chuck Baldwin: Where Will 2015 Take Us?

Unfortunately, there are only a precious few who seem to understand this burgeoning Police State and who actively oppose it. A majority of Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, unbelievers and Christians, all seem to, not only tolerate the police-state mentality, but enthusiastically support it. And there is no momentum whatsoever to stopping it. It will only get worse in 2015.

*Christ And Caesar

True Christianity has never been associated with, supported by, or underneath Caesar’s (civil government’s) auspices or benevolence. For most of the 2,000+ years of Church history, true believers met in non-state-sanctioned or even underground churches and fellowships. In fact, the Early Church was birthed in a baptism of persecution from both the civil government (Rome) and established religion (Judaism) at the time. Not until the unholy union of the Church and State under Theodosius I (almost 400 years after Christ) did Christians accept official sanction from government. And for many centuries to follow, the official merger of Church and state led to the persecutions and deaths of untold thousands of believers deemed heretics and outlaws because their religious beliefs contradicted those of the official state-sanctioned church.

Even in early America, state-approved denominations and churches were guilty of horrific persecutions against independent-minded Christians who refused to submit to the doctrines and liturgies of state-sanctioned churches. These state-church persecutions ultimately led Roger Williams to found the colony of Rhode Island and John Leland to convince James Madison that religious liberty must be the first in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

After the acceptance of our Bill of Rights, America’s churches enjoyed complete independent status, being answerable only to their Creator and their own conscience. All of that changed in 1954 when then-Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas) successfully introduced the Johnson Amendment to the code of the Internal Revenue Service: the now-infamous 501c3 nonprofit organization status for churches. This designation made churches a creature of the state–answerable to the direct dictates of government–even regarding speech and activity.

FK – And some wonder why I have deep negative respect for mainstream ‘christianity.’
