Anderson Cooper on CNN

I don’t care where you stand on the issue of the Tea Parties - Anderson Cooper stepped WAY over the line yesterday on Anderson Cooper 360°.  We need to tell the FCC so.

I’m sure you’ve seen the video already.  If not, please do.  I know the filthy crack about teabagging did not originate with Anderson Cooper, but his case is particularly egregious.  After all, Anderson Cooper 360° is aired during prime time, when children are watching.  And parents have no reasonable cause to expect that a legitimate news program would allow for the crude sexual reference.

I sent a complaint form to the FCC.  Please join me in this.  Download the PDF form.  Fill it out.  In a few, nonpartisan words, express your legitimate concern with this crude sexual reference.  Then e-mail the form to fccinfo@fcc.gov.  Only the FCC knows what they will do about it, but the fines they levy could make sure he never says something that filthy again.

 Thank you for joining me. No matter where you stand on the issue of Obama’s tax policies, to make rude jokes about sex on the air is wrong. It cannot be allowed.

I won’t pretend to speak for all of the contributors to this site, but I’ve noticed a lot of people asking why we talk about global warming. Let me tell you why I occasionally write about it.

Firstly let me say that there is no more important truth than the truth of Jesus. That He is God, that he lived on earth, died for our sins and was raised again on the third day. That He sits on the right hand side of the Father and rules from Heaven. No truth is more important, vital or worth sharing as that truth!

We are told that a lot of things are truth, and these have become commonly accepted as truth. There are a few scientific “truths” out there that I don’t believe. I’m no scientist myself, but I’m still entitled to my opinion, especially when it is based on the Word of God and those whose science I trust. Here are a few that I don’t buy into - that an unborn baby isn’t a human, that the earth is billions of years old, that we were not created nor designed but happened by chance. I tell you these in hopes of pointing out that many, many Christians don’t agree with what is commonly accepted as truth on these matters.

So why do we talk about global warming? Because I don’t believe it is the truth. I believe that global warming is agenda driven. If Al Gore really believed in global warming and wasn’t just looking for how it can benefit him, don’t you think he’d be living a more green life? Political leaders who push for global warming restrictions on our lives are viewed as being “great humanitarians, who want what’s best for people.” Yet they are almost 100% pro-abortion!

I write about global warming because I believe that the data doesn’t prove it to the point of being labeled as truth, the way that America has labeled it. I also believe that global warming is being used as a tool by the government to over tax and take away rights. Being a Christian is about freedom. Jesus came to this earth to set the captives free. As a regenerated human, I am free from the bondage of sin by the work on the cross of Jesus. America’s greatness is based upon our freedom. Our freedom to live un-oppressed and to believe what we hold as truth, is a gift that I want to protect.

Again I quote Czech President Vaclav Klaus “As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants… Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism.”

I hope to accomplish a few different things with this website, point people towards the truth of Jesus, create discussion and debate on important topics, take a stand against abortion and stand up for truth.  Myself and Daniel (my brother) have been talking for a longtime about “what can we do to make a difference in regards to abortion?” So we’ve been addressing abortion from a few different angels. I’ve tried to look at how a global warming-shaped view of environmentalism could lead to more abortion… my response from Christians was not positive. Daniel wrote on how “pop culture” promotes abortion, he used “The Office” as an example and was basically labeled “An idiot” by many Christians. We’ll keep trying! We hope to make a difference.

As long as man-made global warming is taught as absolute truth and used to promote an agenda, I’ll continue to write about it.

Much Love, josh

In the United States of America, God’s law is being removed from the halls of government. It is not by popular vote, but by the law of man that this action is justified. How far has America come as one nation under God? How far will America fall should she step aside from this call?

To look upon a US dollar bill, one will see two printed statements “This Note is legal tender for all debts. Public and private.” and “In God We Trust.” If one were to look upon a credit card, they will see neither statement. They will see a name and a number which is assigned to that name. They will see the name of the credit card company and they will see an expiration date.

These things are very important. The value of a grain of rice when used in trade is its ability to nourish the body. What is the value of the dollar bill? what is the value of credit?

Based simply on what is printed on the dollar bill, i deduce that the value of the bill is based on God’s ability to back it up. I deduce that i am legally permitted to use this note for trade in the US. Looking upon the credit card i deduce names and numbers. The credit card itself is worth nothing for trade, nor is the dollar bill. It is what these things represent that determine their value.

In matters of law, the word trust refers to “confidence placed in a person by making that person the nominal owner of property to be held or used for the benefit of one or more others.” When our dollar bill says in “In God We Trust,” We The People are making a binding statement that the value of the dollar bill is owned by God.

The credit card is a different story. The ownership of value in that credit card is three fold. There is a trust that the card holder has in the credit company, that the card will allow them to purchase items. There is a trust the seller has in the card company, that the the transaction will be reimbursed. And there is a trust the credit company has in the card holder that they will pay back what was lent by the card company.

How will the card holder pay back the credit company? Will they pay in cash? a check? or a transfer of funds? will they pay with another credit card? will they wash dishes at the credit card company for a number of years?

More often, these days, companies are paying their employees electronically. Come pay day, a set amount of money appears in said employee’s bank account. Often times, card holders pay their bills, including their credit card bills, electronically. The terms and conditions of “In God We Trust” is not used in any such transaction.

I move now to our tax system. If a government taxes its people, who owns that money? If the democratic republic of the united states is a government “of the people, by the people, for the people” then those tax dollars belong to the people. The government is merely a delegated group of people who steward those funds for the benefit of the people. I ask, in this system, whose trust is placed in whom?

Is the value of the dollar placed in the government, the people, or God?

What i see happening is that the government is trusting the American people to pay the debt. Simultaneously, reference to God in our public places are being removed. The laws and standards of the Ten Commandments and the Bible are being stricken from the halls of government. No longer are we being governed, based in the laws of God, but in the laws of man. No longer are we trusting in God, but slowly our trust is being placed in man.

Again i ask– if America came this far while echoing the Law of God in her halls of justice, and claiming a trust in God upon her money, How far will America fall should she abandon these principles so vital to the well being of her people.
