Patrick "Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!" Henry
A Founding Father of the United States

Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 – June 6, 1799) was an attorney, planter and politician who became known as an orator during the movement for independence in Virginia in the 1770s. A Founding Father, he served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia, from 1776 to 1779 and from 1784 to 1786.

Henry led the opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765 and is remembered for his "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" speech. Along with Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine, he is regarded as one of the most influential champions of Republicanism and an invested promoter of the American Revolution and its fight for independence. » Full Bio

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun. ~ Patrick Henry

Gun Control by Executive Order

Larry Called This “The Talk of a Dictator” Who Feels the Idea That There Are Constitutional Restraints is Simply Not Acceptable

Host: Vic Eliason


Guest: Larry Pratt, » Gun Owners of America

Air Date - January 10, 2013

Show Description:
Larry Pratt is Executive Director of Gun Owners of America.

The debate regarding whether people should be allowed to own guns is a hot issue because you’re dealing with the personal property and personal safety of many Americans. Unfortunately, as Larry discusses, there are those on the other side who have a seemingly animistic view regarding guns, treating them as though they have a life of their own concerning where and when they fire.

Things are heating up as Vice President Joe Biden has suggested that President Obama is considering unilateral action on gun control by executive order in lieu of congressional action. Larry called this “the talk of a dictator” who feels the idea that there are constitutional restraints is simply not acceptable. He believes the administration is getting bolder because they don’t have to stand for re-election. » More Information

The Obamas of The World ‘Don’t Want to Save Lives’

The Ted Nugent Gun Interview You’ve Been Waiting For

Becket Adams, TheBlaze — Not one to shy away from his support for the Second Amendment, Ted Nugent (i.e. the infamous “Motor City Madman”) during an interview on the Peter Schiff radio show Tuesday threw himself headfirst into the gun control debate.

His purpose? To argue that a loss of gun rights equals a loss of personal freedom.

“This conversation and the importance of focusing on the right to keep and bear arms really is the deciding factor in America versus the rest of the world,” Nugent said. “If the people in power — Michael Bloomberg, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Eric ‘Gun-Running-Attorney-General’ Holder — are you kidding me?”

“To force American citizens into unarmed helplessness,” he added, “that’s their agenda!”

Nugent turned his attention to violent crime statistics published by the F.B.I., Scotland Yard, and the United Nations.

“Where there are more guns in citizens’ hands, not only does crime go down, not only does violent crime go down, but personal assaultive-type crimes like rape, carjacking, and home invasion — they don’t just down, Peter: They go away,” he said.

“Why would you resist that obvious opportunity for an upgrade in reduction of crime? It’s because the Pelosis and the Eric Holders and the Barack Obamas in the world: They don’t want to save lives. They don’t care about reducing crime,” he added. “They are absolutely obsessed with their hatred for firearms!” » Read More

Obamacare Amendment Forbids Gun and Ammo Registration

Provision Was Added To Stop NRA Involvement

AWR Hawkins, Breitbart — Good news -- it has become known that hidden deep within the massive 2800-page bill called Obamacare there is a Senate Amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms.

It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c.

According to reports, that amendment says the government cannot use doctors to collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."

CNN is calling it "a gift to the nation's powerful gun lobby."

And according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), that's exactly right. He says he added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so ubiquitous in 2010. » Read More

President Obama Thinks He Is Beyond the Constitution

The President can't and doesn't have the power to diminish any of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Suddenly the argument being made from the left is that it is a Bill of Needs, not a Bill of Rights

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark talks about the history of the Bill of Rights and how the Amendments came out from the Founding Fathers. He also discusses how the Founders were most worried about an all powerful Executive Branch - because they had just fought a Revolutionary War against one from Britain. The reason there's checks and balances and different branches is to keep watch over one another, but especially with the Executive. What we are seeing now is that President Obama thinks he is beyond the Constitution, that he can issue executive orders especially now on the latest showdown - the issue of gun control. The President can't and doesn't have the power to diminish any of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Suddenly the argument being made from the left is that it is a Bill of Needs, not a Bill of Rights - as if we don't need something, then it doesn't matter if we have it or not. This goes against everything the Founders intended.

Ten Commandments Judge to Be Sworn in Again as Chief Justice of Alabama Supreme Court

News From An Uncompromising Biblical Worldview

“The true issue is whether we can acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God
over the affairs of our state and our law”

Heather Clark, Christian News Network — Roy Moore, known as the Ten Commandments judge, will be sworn in today as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, regaining his seat on the bench that he was removed from a decade ago for taking a stand for God’s law.

According to reports, Moore will be sworn in by Circuit Judge John Bentley of Alabama’s 25th judicial district, who was a former classmate of Moore’s at West Point Military Academy in New York.

As previously reported, Moore won his bid for his seat on the bench this past November in a tight race against Democratic contender Bob Vance. On election night, the race tightened as poll results came in, at times tilting in the favor of Moore, and others in the direction of his opponent. As the pendulum swung back and forth, near the end of the night, it became more apparent that Moore had a steady and increasing lead over Vance, and in the end, Moore won by 52 to 48 percent.

Moore, who was previously removed from the bench for refusing to stop “acknowledging God,” had been believed to be the favored candidate since he began his bid for the Alabama Supreme Court, running far ahead of his previous challenger Harry Lyon. Lyon had been ousted by Democratic Party officials in August for making comments on Facebook against homosexual “marriage,” stating that it was “an abomination of God.” He had also opined that “only sick and perverted persons believe in homosexuality or lesbianism, though there are a lot of them.”

[...] As previously reported, in 2000, Moore ran for Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court after serving as a circuit judge in Etowah County. Upon winning his bid and setting up his office in the courthouse, he arranged for a two-ton granite monument of the Ten Commandments to be displayed in the building’s rotunda, which was installed the following year.

Soon after, Moore was slammed with two lawsuits from three separate groups: the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Civil rights attorney Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center soon emerged as the central opponent to Moore’s display, arguing that the chief justice “placed this monument here to acknowledge the sovereignty of God over the affairs of men.”

Following a battle in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, who ruled that the display was unconstitutional as it violated the Establishment Clause, District Court Judge Myron Thompson then ordered Moore to remove the Ten Commandments from the courthouse rotunda within fifteen days. Moore refused, but the monument was later moved to a room that was not open for public viewing.

Days later, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission filed a complaint against Moore. His position as Chief Justice was suspended, and he was placed on trial. During his hearing in November 2003, Moore firmly defended his decision to place the Ten Commandments in the courthouse, stating, “Without God there can be no ethics.” However, the assistant state attorney general argued that Moore’s defiance would have an adverse impact on how others treated court orders. “What message does that send to the public, to other litigants?,” he asked. “The message it sends is: If you don’t like a court order, you don’t have to follow it.”

On August 23, 2003, a unanimous panel of the Alabama Court of the Judiciary removed Judge Moore from the bench.

Roy Moore Cross-Examined for Acknowledging God

On November 12, 2003, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore was put on trial by a state ethics panel for not removing a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building when a federal court ordered him to. This video clip shows (1) part of his cross-examination by then-Attorney General Bill Pryor and (2) the verdict read November 13, 2003.

Now that Moore has regained his seat as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, he said that while he won’t display a monument this time, he will defend his right to acknowledge God.

“The true issue is whether we can acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God over the affairs of our state and our law,” he said. » Read More

Muslim Brotherhood At The White House?

eNews For The Week Of January 8, 2013

K-House eNews — An Egyptian magazine has declared that Muslims connected to the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated the Obama Administration and have persuaded the White House "from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in the world." The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has translated the Rose El-Youssef article into English, raising widespread concern about the loyalties of Muslims close to the U.S. government. [...]

The article alleges that six men in the current administration have extremist ties. Arif Alikhan, the assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development, is also one of the founders of the World Islamic Organization, called a Muslim Brotherhood "subsidiary" by Rose El-Youssef.

Muslims In America

There have been two main views regarding Islam since the September 11 attacks in America.

View 1: The first group believes that Allah and the God of the Bible are one and the same and that Islam is basically a good religion. This side views the September 11 attacks as an action by fundamentalists working outside the peaceful spirit of Islam.

View 2: The second group argues that while many Muslims may be non-violent moderates, Islam is a dangerous religion - one that supports the murder or forced conversion of anybody outside the Muslim faith and one that is bent on the conversion or destruction of all non-Islamic nations, especially America and Israel.

There is certainly the potential for danger; Muslims believe that all the world will one day submit to Allah. At the same time, there is a basic fact that Christians must remember: Muslims are dying without Christ.

More sinister than Islamic plans to take over the planet is the danger that each Muslim faces without Jesus. Islam denies the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a payment for sins and the way to eternal life. The millions of Muslims around the world are people for whom Christ died, yet most do not know that Good News. Whether moderate or fundamentalist, Muslims all need to hear the message that God so loved the world that He gave His Son to die. It is not God's desire that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

Muslims see the Trinity as a threat to monotheism. Islam teaches that Jesus was born of a virgin, but it denies that he was the Son of God. It teaches that Jesus Christ was a great prophet but that he never died on the cross. Muslims believe they will have to be judged based on their own good works according to the strict laws of the Koran, and even then they can have no guarantee of heaven (unless they die in jihad).

Many Muslims have no clue that God loves them and wants them to know Him personally. A large number are intimidated by their religious leaders and feel no freedom to search for God outside of the heavy hand of Islam. While those committing murder in the name of Islam must be stopped, individual Muslims still need to know the love and forgiveness that can be found in Christ alone. We in the Christian community need to love Muslims with Christ's love and show them who God is through the power of His Spirit working in us. If members of the Muslim community count us their enemies, Christians must pray for them.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. ~ Matthew 5:44
