Very well put. Applause

Fiscal Cliff coming, Libs holler “Jump!”

Personal note: Yeah, I am up earlier than normal. I was rousted by people walking in the kitchen, which is right above my room here in the basement. The joys of living with people. I’ll be tired later, that is for sure.

—

So, we have this fiscal cliff coming right? Well, guess who is hollering, “Jump!”? Well, it is not the Republicans.

Investors Business Daily reports:

Budget Talks: If President Obama wants to get a deficit deal done to avoid the fiscal cliff, his biggest challenge won’t be Republicans, but his own hard-core left-wing supporters.

Two days after the election, Obama’s favorite economist, Paul Krugman, set the tone for the intransigent left in a column titled: "Let’s not make a deal." Boiled down, his advice to Obama was this: Don’t give in to any Republican demands, even if doing so would "inflict damage on a still-shaky economy." After all, Obama would be better positioned to "weather any blowback from economic troubles."

Krugman’s advice may be disturbingly cold and calculating, but he has plenty of company on the left.

Robert Kuttner, co-founder of the liberal American Prospect magazine, suggests Obama should just sit it out, let all the Bush tax cuts expire, the automatic spending cuts kick in and expect public pressure to force Republicans to give in entirely.

The left-wing Daily Kos called any kind of "grand bargain" between Obama and the GOP a "Great Betrayal."

And several Democratic lawmakers have suggested that the correct approach would be to let the country go over the fiscal cliff, since that will only strengthen Obama’s position. "It’s a hand Democrats are looking forward to playing," according to the liberal Huffington Post "news" site.

And Republicans are supposed to be the ones who refuse to compromise?

What has liberals freaked out is the fact that any deal with Republicans will likely include cuts to their cherished entitlement programs.

Obama had reportedly agreed to make some modest changes to these programs when he and House Speaker John Boehner were working on their "grand bargain" last summer. And the left wants to avoid that from happening again, at all costs.

The Washington Post says unions and other liberal groups "are mobilizing to oppose concessions they fear (Obama) could make on Medicare and Social Security."

The left’s attempt to sabotage any deficit deal is somewhat understandable. After all, their man won. Why should they now have to swallow any spending cuts?

Unreal. This comes via Instapundit, who remarks:

Especially since, no matter what, the press apparat will blame the GOP.

Not only that, but I am convinced, like Glenn Beck; that this is what the Democrats want, they want the existing system to crash and burn. This is so that they can install a European style of socialist Government here. This is what they have wanted to do for years. But the right conditions were never in place; and they have finally gotten them handed to them on a golden platter. The sick and sad part is, because of the lousy leadership in the house; the Republicans will give them whatever they want, in the name of bipartisanship.

Because of that, America is about to lose, and lose big.

I agree, sort of

Bill, I agree. Kind of.

I don’t much get into the “Christian America” thing. Because it, to me; is a Christian version of shariah law.

I also agree that the “Christian Right’s” revision of history to suit a narrative is off-putting.

America is a Constitutional Republic. It’s founders acknowledged God. They were not Bible-thumpers, like we have today. In fact, most Christians during that period, avoided politics, like the plague. Which they should do now.

As for whom you are debating with; he’s nothing more than pompous jerk. It seems that He and Ace over at the Spades HQ seem to have this real Anti-Christian, Anti-Heartland Conservative bias about them. Never did like it; so, I tend to avoid them.

Just my opinion.

Eternal Truths

Something that I have known for a very long time. David W. Cloud, a Fundamental Baptist Missionary, whom I have a great deal of respect for; lays out the truth in this wonderful piece below:

The result of the recent U.S. election was not surprising to the Bible believer who knows the frightful spiritual condition of America, and we should not respond as unbelievers and heretics and nominal Christians respond to these confusing, frustrating times. Many are in despair, frantically trying to find a safe heaven for their wealth.

But we are not Christians in name only; we are born again by God’s Spirit and we walk in the light of God’s infallible Word. We know the times, or at least we should. We understand the underlying spiritual fundamentals of society. We are pilgrims. Our citizenship is in heaven, and we are exhorted to set our affection on things above, not on things on earth (Col. 3:1-4; Hebrews 11:13; 1 Peter 2:11).

The Bible shines brilliant light upon our situation in this present world, and gives us clear instructions about how to live and act in the face of the challenges of these times.

Let me say at the outset that I understand that politics and government are important, that politics and government affect our daily lives. I am not saying that we should have nothing to do with politics and that we should have no interest in what is happening at the political level.

I am simply arguing in this report that politics is not the answer to the moral, social, and economic ills our nations are facing, and we need to focus our attention on the real fundamental issues, and on God’s will, and on the things that can bring real change, and on things that have eternal value.

This is a very good piece and I highly recommend that you go read the rest of that; like I say on my “Free Gift” page —- if you are a true believe in Christ, then this world is not your home. You are simply here, until the Lord comes back for his Church. Wealth is wonderful, in fact, I kind of wish I had a little of it myself. However, these things are all temporal. One day, when the Lord Jesus pours out his judgement on this earth, all of these material things that we hold so dear, are going to burn up. Just like they did in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The important thing to remember, like David Brody said in his video, no matter who is in the White House; Jesus Christ is still on the throne and he is always in control. Remember that; this is what keeps me from worrying. God is still in control, not matter what.

Amen.

Erick Erickson tells it exactly like it is.

I have said the same thing here for the last few days. This is not a time to retreat, or compromise. This is the time to stand and keep on standing!

I believe this quote from the Holy Bible is much needed in the context of this blog posting. I am sure, or at least I would hope that Erick would agree with this:

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. — (Ephesians 6:10-20 King James Version)

We must stand and fight; or we shall all die separately and alone.

Something else, we must keep that flag in the air, at all times. This video will explain, what I mean:

Keep Standing, everyone and keep that flag up!

Ron Radosh: It’s the culture stupid

(Via InstaPundit)

Ron Radosh writes:

If we can turn away from the elections for a moment, and the future of the Republican Party, a more fundamental problem exists. It is nothing less than the nature of the American culture. By the term “culture,” I am not referring to the social issues that usually come up when one talks about culture wars; i.e., abortion, gay rights, religion, etc. Rather, I am talking about the perception and outlook that stand beneath the way our American public define the very nature of civic life in our democratic capitalist society.

I really recommend you go read the rest of that; it is some seriously heady stuff. In the piece, he points out the obvious, it is very good stuff.

Thanks, But, I like my media cocoon

It seems that the liberals have a new line of attack, accusing we Conservatives of living in a cocoon, because we choose not to believe that which the liberal media spoon feeds its sheep.

Politico writes:

A long-simmering generational battle in the conservative movement is boiling over after last week’s shellacking, with younger operatives and ideologues going public with calls that Republicans break free from a political-media cocoon that has become intellectually suffocating and self-defeating.

GOP officials have chalked up their electoral thumping to everything from the country’s changing demographics to an ill-timed hurricane and failed voter turn-out system, but a cadre of Republicans under 50 believes the party’s problem is even more fundamental.

The party is suffering from Pauline Kaelism.

Kael was The New Yorker movie critic who famously said in the wake of Richard M. Nixon’s 49-state landslide in 1972 that she knew only one person who voted for Nixon.

Now, many young Republicans worry, they are the ones in the hermetically sealed bubble — except it’s not confined to geography but rather a self-selected media universe in which only their own views are reinforced and an alternate reality is reflected.

Yeah, we’re cocooned, because we choose not to be spoon fed the tripe that these media types spoon feed to their sheep. Good luck with that argument.

Also too, I happen to check Pauline Kael’s Bio on Wikipedia:

Kael was born on a chicken farm in Petaluma, California, to Isaac Paul Kael and Judith (Friedman) Kael, Jewish immigrants from Poland. Her parents lost their farm when Kael was eight, and the family moved to San Francisco, California.

Anti-Semite much there Politico? A little subtle jab at the Jewish right, maybe? A little underhanded swipe at Zionism, maybe? Would he have used a non-Jew name like that? It is to wonder. Confused Thinking Raised Eyebrow

I’m just saying….

The long knives come out

Against Social Conservatives and Conservative Grassroots types, like me.

Check it out Here, Here, and here.

Also too, check out what this Colorado Jew has to say about we Conservative Christians. Let me ask you for a second; what if someone like me, decided to say that the problem with the Republican Party was controlled and financed by the Jews and that they needed to leave and started their own party? I would be derided by the Blogosphere as a anti-Semite, a bigot and a few other names that I will not print here. Funny how they can deride us and nothing ever happens; but when the tables are turned they collectively lose their minds ——- just ask Rick Sanchez. Before anyone screams, I am not being a hatemonger here, I, as a Conservative Christian, am just making a observation. One that does tick me off a bit, but I digress.

The response I have to all the idiotic nonsense at the links is this; try winning elections without us. As I have said on this blog a million times, and I will most like say it a million more, before it is over — there are three legs to the stool of Conservatism: Fiscal, Social and Foreign Policy. If any of those legs are removed, the stool collapses. You cannot have a Conservative Movement and for that matter, a Republican party without social Conservatism. This is because freedoms do not come from man, freedoms come by God; and a Party that fails to acknowledge that there is a God in Heaven and fails to champion the causes that are found in the Holy Bible is doomed to failure.

So, this whole idea, that grassroots Conservatives are somehow the reason the Republicans lost the 2012 election is a bunch of horse manure! We lost the election, because the Republican Party put in the most Elitist, moderate guy that they could find and tried running him as a true Conservative. Plus too, the man was a Mormon, and the Evangelical base of the Republican Party just does not trust Mormons, and for good reason; they are not Christians at all. I voted for Romney, because I wanted to see the Country prosper, not because I agreed with his Religion. Now, people are saying the solution is purge the party of the Christians. Nice, real nice. But, again, try winning elections without us. Because we make up a good part of your base.

I think the Republican Party establishment needs to reconsider this a whole bunch, before you start trying to throw out the people that make up your base.
