The Road To Socialism Part One

So what is the definition of Socialism? According to Merriam-Webster it is:

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state {government} parentheses mine

3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

How does this sound okay to ANYONE? Remember, the government was not formed to take care of us! The government was formed to protect us! Our liberty. Our freedom. Our economy. Our safety. Under GOD Almighty.

Winston Churchill said, "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

The equal sharing of misery. No kidding.

President Obama's agenda includes Socialism, do not be fooled. Don't take it from me...take it from the horse's mouth:

"They don't want the whole pie," she told the women. "There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach. If we don't wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership, for how we want this country to work, then we won't get universal health care. The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."- Michelle Obama (italics mine)

"It’s because you have an obligation to yourself. Because our individual salvation depends on collective salvation." - Barack Obama (italics mine)

"I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets." - Barack Obama (Dreams of My Father) (emphasis mine)

DO NOT BE MISTAKEN. Obama is a Socialist.

"Among other things, he is concerned about the "winner-take-all" economy where, he says, "the gains from economic growth skew heavily toward the wealthy." Actually, the gains from economic growth can skew toward anyone willing to work hard and make personal and family decisions that improve their chances for success. This is boilerplate wealth redistribution, an economic philosophy at the center of the former Soviet Union. Obama and Democrats wish to embrace it now in order to make more people dependent on government, rather than encourage people to rely on themselves and the opportunity America offers to most citizens, even illegal aliens. Guaranteed equal outcome is socialism. America was built on and sustained by a "can do" spirit. Today, too many are taught a "can't do" spirit. They are told that because of factors over which they have no control -- race, class, poverty -- it is impossible for them to do anything for themselves and so they must increasingly rely on government. Government doesn't cure poverty." Source: Cal Thomas via pressdemocrat (emphasis mine)

If You Call Yourself A Christian....

Then I really hope you read this. I am in a place with a lot of people. A lot of people from very, very different worlds.


My husband has a conference here in Mt. Pleasant, at the Soaring Eagle Casino. Now before I continue, yes I did some gambling, but I did not go crazy. I believe that there's nothing wrong with gambling as long as you treat it like drinking. A drink here or there is fine, but you're not to get drunk. I would also however, refrain from either of those things in the presence of someone who DOES have a problem with it. It's not that big of a deal to me.


I have to admit that it's really a challenge for me to stop when I said I was going to. When I was a bit younger it was even worse. But we're talking maybe 100, 150 dollars here.


I usually play like quarter slots. That's as big a spender as I get.: ) This man next to me was loading one hundred dollar bills into this machine and losing them in about 3 minutes. I was like whoa! Then I had to wonder if he even had it to spend!


What's really scary is the people I see that look like they are on their last penny, and they play it anyway. I fear that addiction is rampant here, as it is in many other places.


Food.

Cigarettes.

Porn.

Shopping.

Working.

Sex.

Alcohol.

Drugs.

Money.


I'll bet everyone who will ever read this knows someone, someone who calls themselves a Christian, that is addicted to one or more of the above. I do. I AM one of those people. I used to be addicted to cigarettes, I used to be addicted to alcohol, and I am addicted to food. I am not judging or pointing fingers.


Do you know what all those things have in common? They are idols. God told us to serve none but Him, and I think some people think, well I DON'T worship any other God! Be very careful of that statement friend.


Whatever you give the most time to in your life, even if it's your thought life, that's an idol. That's what's important to you.


This country....it NEEDS Christians to shape up and start acting like their name! CHRIST-ian. Godly. Loving. NON-JUDGEMENTAL. Helpful. Selfless. Serving. And giving a crap about who is running the government.


I truly believe that if every Christian made sure they were registered to vote, then got out and voted on election day, we would have a different government all together. I am not Republican. I am not a Democrat. I'm Conservative, but neither party at this point is doing the right thing.


We have a Christian responsibility to vote. If every Christian in California wrote a letter to the judge who overthew Prop 8, would it still have been overturned? Would Obama have been elected? Would we still be on the road to Socialism?


We are Sodom and Gomorrah, friends, and if you know the story, it doesn't end well. So I'm asking you to pray. Every day. For yourself. For you family. For this country. God will not hold His wrath forever.


13 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. II Chronicles 7:13-15


First this definitely says that God can and will send drought, plagues, and locusts. But it says if we HUMBLE ourselves, if we PRAY, if we SEEK GOD'S FACE, if we TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS, God promises to hear us. He promises to heal our land.


I don't know about you, but I think America could use all the healing it could get!
