Aptos Psychologist: Wow! CA churches in Santa Cruz & Monterey pay big buck franchise fees to COPA — to teach socialist Alinsky methods to organize communities. Mmmmm?

COPA franchise fees
COPA franchise fees
Religious ‘franchise’ fees? Yes.

You want to start a McDonald? You pay a franchise fee.

You want to spread the ‘food’ of Saul Alinsky, progressive who wrote Rules for Radicals?

You will pay a ‘franchise’ fee to spread the progressive ‘gospel’ of Saul Alinsky via COPA and other similar organizations with different names and same philosophy. The money paid to COPA goes out of state to Chicago, Illinois. Home of community organizer Obama. Mmmm.

Why cough up big bucks to founders of COPA, an out of state organization, for franchise costs? This does not make sense.

Why pay Illinois for how to do community organizing in a California community? Do we really need more of Obama type organizers here in Santa Cruz and Monterey? What say you.

Time for church & other religious organization members to ask why….

Ask why.
Time for local church and other religious organizations to ask why their local Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay area religious organization pay up to $10,000 a year in COPA ‘franchise’ costs to out of state Illinois & no buy-in by church members?

If you want the ‘real answers’ why the franchise costs paid to an out of CA community organization ( in Chicago, Illinois) then ask the original founders of COPA.

Wonder who? There were three persons who started COPA: the driving force was a Catholic sister/nun who runs a Watsonville, CA women/ children care facility, an Aptos, CA Lutheran minister who has since died.. and …

1) What COPA did many years ago was to get ‘buy in’ from the local leaders of local churches & other religious organizations.

2) Then COPA said to the general Santa Cruz/ Monterey CA community that all the members of these organization supported COPA views.

3) Now COPA uses those churches to hand out material and tell members how to vote.

COPA is smart. People who go to a local church or other religious organization may not want to ‘argue’ about COPA with those who provide spiritual assistance. More info follows below.

Political Community Organizing through Places of Worship

By Freedom Advocates
Monday, 02 November 2009

Question: “I have just learned that my Monterey Bay Area church has given large sums of money to a political Interfaith Network organization called COPA. COPA stands for Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action. What is COPA?

Answer: COPA is a member of Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) which was founded by Saul Alinsky in the 1940’s. Alinsky authored two books that are used as manuals by socialist and communist change agents – Reveille for Radicals in 1946 and Rules for Radicals in 1971.

It is a serious concern that the money I’ve been giving to my church is being used for political and radical ideological purposes without my knowledge or authorization. There are many Interfaith Networks operating under different names throughout the country and most of them like COPA, are members of IAF.

Answer: In their own words, Industrial Areas Foundation helps build broad-based, non-partisan organizations of dues-paying member congregations, schools, unions, business associations, and non-profits committed to building power for sustainable social and economic change.

Alinsky in his book writings puts it like this,

You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments. Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.

Believing that the ends justify the means, Alinksy stated that,

In action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one’s individual conscience and the good of mankind.

So churches are being used for political purposes rather than for spiritual reasons. COPA affiliated churches use congregational capital to influence local politicians and intensely advocate for so-called “affordable housing” developments built by well paid so-called, “non-profit” developers.

The reality is that our money is funding an undisclosed massive subsidy for building projects benefiting individuals who are very ineffective at cost containment. This should give pause to anyone thinking that COPA and IAF are organizations out to help the downtrodden. Those downtrodden are the means, the pawns, in COPA’s game plan.

Where was I when these political shenanigans were being discussed? Was it part of a sermon or simply handled as a financial transaction behind closed doors? It’s alarming that I and my fellow congregants missed the discussion about morphing my church into an instrument of socialist/fascist economic change. This is antithetical to what I believe in.

Your church may be doing this too. Go to the IAF Industrial Areas Foundation “affiliates” page. Click on your region on the left side of the page. In our area, COPA was formerly known as CCIS – Central Coast Interfaith Sponsors.

Congregations across the country find themselves attached to COPA-like organizations with names like Washington Interfaith Network (WIN), Communities Helping All Neighbors Gain Empowerment (CHANGE), Tying Nashville Together (TNT) or Southeastern Wisconsin Common Ground.

Most of us never saw this happening. We trust our places of worship and attend in order to honor God and invigorate our spiritual beliefs. Now we discover that an outside political action group is working insidiously to infiltrate our church and undermine our ethical and spiritual structure.

COPA/IAF is clear that their mission is to train parishioners in community organizing tactics in order to achieve a political result through lobbying. Sound familiar? ACORN has been in the news recently for exploiting poor neighborhoods through the use of misleading promises used in community organizing and lobbying. ACORN targets neighborhoods. COPA and IAF target places of worship and unsuspecting parishioners.

COPA/IAF are coming into our churches and synagogues, misleading many of our ministers and other leaders by having them support COPAand IAF politics.

Is your church or temple involved with an interfaith congregation network and IAF? If so, you need to ask:

Is my church a member of a network or organization that supports IAF? What is the organization called?

If yes, why did our church leadership decide to join?

What was the commitment made to the organization?

Has the pastor, minister, rabbi or other spiritual leader been informed about the true nature of Interfaith Networks and Congregation Based Community Organizations?

Has the congregation been informed?

Call to action – Let your church know how you feel about affiliations with political and ideological groups such as IAF and COPA.

Aptos Psychologist: 40% Americans identify as Conservatives. Let’s replace Obama-Care & Obama’s Rules for Radicals with conservative principles …

NO to Obama-Care
NO to Obama-Care

President Obama accepts $1 million from Bill Maher [who calls himself a “a potty-mouth guy…” and who says his talent is “to get people to spill their fuc–ing guts out”]. That’s not exactly respectful language Maher uses to describe his audience.

Obama broadcasts his anti-conscience mandate that all employers including faith organizations will provide at no cost birth control pills, Obama telphones reproductive rights activist, Sandra Fluke. Obama publicly speaks out against Rush Limbaugh commenting, “No decent person would say…”

Obama says he leads by example. What example?


Think Machiavellian.
Obama leads by the example of The Prince. “In the actions of men, and especially of Princes — from which there is no appeal — the end justifies the means.”

The Democrat controlled Senate recently voted down a law that would dismantle the heart of Obama-Care — the panel of experts that make all the decisions.

The way Obama-Care is set up, there will be no appeal from Obama-Care’s panel of 15 experts who decide your health care. No one except the panel of experts is trusted – not the patients who receive medical care, not the MDs and hospitals that provide care, not the taxpayers who pay for it nor the politicians who set up Obama-Care. No one is trusted except those who report to The Prince. How Machiavellian of Obama. How Prince-like Obama acts.

So, what can we do to remove Obama and repeal Obama-Care?

It will be citizens who collectively oust Obama & his policies and turn back the clock to the principles of those who wrote the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Obama’s actions are in step with the Rules for Liberals by Saul Alinsky [dedicated to Lucifer aka Satan].

So now’s the time for conservatives to write a different book. Let’s call it, Rules for 2012 Conservatives.

And you can help write Rules for US Conservatives. How? Connect. Work together with other conservatives. Network. Send emails. Find and join blogs that are conservative in outlook. Speak up and speak out. Connect and keep on connecting. Never joined Twitter? Learn to twit your tune. Not on Facebook? Get on it and set up a Tea Party type blog. Put your blog address as part of your signature that you send out on all emails. Use electronic publishing to publicize your views. SmashWords.com is an excellent and easy way to self publish e-books and articles.

And send your stuff to me, DrCameronJackson@gmail.com Collectively we will wirte Rules for US Conservatives.

Who are WE and who are THEY? Know that four out of ten Americans identify as ‘conservative’?
Thus, in how Americans identify Conservatives are close to a majority.

And those who do not identify as Conservative [ who call themselves progressives/ liberals] are simply NON-Conservatives. They, unfortunately, lack conservative values and actions. In the Greece of Plato times either you were a member of the polis or you were a non-citizen and an outcast.

Yes! Conservatives recognize NON-Conservatives as members of the polis but the Rules will change from Rules for Radicals to Rules for 2012 Conservatives.

The NON-Conservatives are very different creatures form the liberals and Democrats of President Kennedy’s era. It was President Kennedy in the 1960s who said, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.’

Today we have Democrat Party NON-Conservative Nancy Pelosi who tells congress they must vote for Obama-Care to find out what is in it. And we have Democrat Party NON-Conservative Harry Reid who, with the Democrats in the Senate, has not passed a budget in three years. And these NON-Conservatives refuse to OK the Canada to the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Well, these NON-Conservatives may hear loud and clear come November how the US Conservatives feel about the pipeline.

Rule 1 for US Conservatives: Know what makes NON-Conservatives like Pelosi, Reid, Maher and Obama ‘tick’. How? Read Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. And also read The Prince. The Prince is all about the manipulation of appearances. The Prince appears compassionate but is not in reality.

Obama and his administration practice Alinsky Rules for Radicals.

Obama replaced the Bush terrorist policy of ‘capture & interrogate’ with Obama’s policy of ‘target and eliminate’. Obama, both personally and through his policies, has targeted numerous individuals and entities over the last three years.

Obama targets
Obama targets

Courts: With the U.S. Supreme Court present for the State of the Union address Obama upbraided the court for their ruling in Citizens United.

House of Representatives: Obama placed Paul Ryan front and center to castigate him for the Republican budget which focused on viable ways to re-structure entitlement programs.

Retired persons: Obama via the Federal Reserve targets and punishes savers and rewards spenders. When the wife of Romney said that their millions could be gone the next day there’s truth to what she says. A million dollars put into Treasury Bills for a year earns only $300 compared to $ 46,700 if the rate of return was close to what it historically has been.

Medicare recipients: Obama took $500 BILLION from Medicare and moved that money elsewhere. So, an entitlement program going broke goes broke even faster for the elderly. And those elderly will be the first to have their medical care rationed by the Board of Fifteen Experts appointed by Machiavellian Prince Obama.

So, speak up. Speak out. Contact other US Conservatives. Send email. Start blogs. Twitter away. Get a Facebook page and say what you stand for – and what you won’t stand for. Use SmashWords.com to write e-books and e-articles. Together let’s replace Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals with modern Rules for US Conservatives.

Rule #1 is: Know what makes NON-Conservatives like Obama, Bill Maher, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid ‘tick’. So read The Prince and Rules for Radicals.

Rule #2: Connect with like minded conservatives. Express your views via email, e-articles and e-books. It has never been easier to self publish. Try SmashWords.com for self publishing.

Knowledge is power. The Prince is an apt description as to how Obama acts. For The Prince, political expediency is placed above morality. Craft and deceit are tools to maintain authority and carry out the will of The Prince.

Remember those 50+ times Obama reiterated “You can keep your doctor.
And, you can keep your health plan…” Recently Health and Human Services Secretary Elizabeth Sebelius was asked about these promises Obama made to the American people about Obama-Care. The Secretary for HHS has no memory or knowledge that Obama made these promises. Is that collective amnesia? It’s acting with political expediency. Sebelius says she is ‘balancing’ the right to contraception with the right to religious freedom. Has Sebelius ever sat down and read the Bill of Rights?

Rule #3: Don’t follow the Rules for Radicals. Do follow the moral precepts that guided the founders of America.

Firenze Sage: Ding, dong, Dr Death Calling…[euthanesia teams travel to those who want to die]

die by choice
die by choice

From the Netherlands: A controversial system of mobile euthanasia units that will travel around the country to respond to the wishes of sick people who wish to end their lives has been launched in the Netherlands.

The scheme, which started on Thursday , will send teams of specially trained doctors and nurses to the homes of people whose own doctors have refused to carry out patients’ requests to end their lives.

The launch of the so-called Levenseinde, or “Life End”, house-call units – whose services are being offered to Dutch citizens free of charge – coincides with the opening of a clinic of the same name in The Hague, which will take patients with incurable illnesses as well as others who do not want to die at home.

The scheme is an initiative by the Dutch Association for a Voluntary End to Life (NVVE), a 130,000-member euthanasia organisation that is the biggest of its kind in the world.

“From Thursday, the Life End clinic will have mobile teams where people who believe they are eligible for euthanasia can register,” Walburg de Jong, a NVVE spokesman, said.

“If they do comply, the teams will be able to carry out the euthanasia at patients’ homes should their regular doctors be unable or refuse to help them.

The Saga of Obama-Care continues: taxpayers should pay for Georgetown law students contaceptives?

Was it a fluke? A surprising bit of luck that Sandra Fluke was chosen by Democrat Congressman Cummings? Why not email Congressman Cummings and ask him. There is no phone listed for Congressman Cummings. He is on Facebook.

call Cummings
Call Congressman

More likely it was Democrat strategy which caused Democrat Congressman Cummings to choose Georgetown University 3rd year law student Sandra Fluke to testify at Darrell Essa’s congressional hearing on religious freedom and Obama’s mandate that churches pay for birth control.

Georgetown University has Catholic roots and does not pay for birth control for students. Sandra Fluke knew Georgetown University’s policies and choose to enroll anyway.

Per review of Georgetown University Law Center curriculum, third year law student Sandra Fluke probably took the usual array of law classes typically offerred by most law schools.

Georgetown University Law Center’s curriculum is listed below.

Georgetown University Law Center’s curriculum looks quite similar to the curriculum offered at Monterey College of Law, Seaside, California. Georgetown Law Center just costs three times as much as Monterey College of Law.

Of note, Georgetown University Law Center offers no law courses in reproductive rights, male and female sexuality or privacy law. Georgetown offers nothing that provides legal training directly related to being a ‘reproductive rights advocate’ which is how Ms. Fluke describes herself.

Just possibly Ms. Fluke may have taken a class titled Advanced Constitutional Law available to third year students. [Constitutional Law does discuss the Supreme Court cases related to the reproductive privacy rights of woman.]

Why not call Congressman Cummings, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and ask him why Sandra Fluke? It’s easy to contact him via a contact box http://cummingsform.house.gov Congressman Cummings is also on Facebook. And his wife is Dr Maya Rockeymore-Cummings.

“Selecting courses as a second and third year student can be a daunting task. Georgetown is blessed with an enormous range of course offerings. Yet, the breadth of choices can make the selection process seem overwhelming. Many years ago the Law Center had a prescribed upperclass curriculum. The faculty stopped dictating which courses upperclass students should take, however, when they themselves no longer agreed about what should be required, given the increasing diversity of law practice and divergent views about the benefits of various courses of study. This movement away from required upperclass curriculum has occurred at most law schools in the country. Currently at Georgetown, the only required upperclass courses are Professional Responsibility and a course that meets the upper level writing requirement.”

“Nonetheless, most faculty and lawyers would probably concur that it is advisable for students to take Tax I, Constitutional Law II, and Corporations. Taxation and the corporate form are ubiquitous in our society and therefore lawyers should have at least some familiarity with these areas. In addition, these courses are prerequisites to a number of more advanced offerings in the areas of business and corporate law. Constitutional Law is not only relevant to other courses, it addresses fundamental issues about the nature of our government that well educated lawyers should understand. In addition to these courses, most students take Evidence: it is a prerequisite for many clinical courses and in the view of many is basic to understanding the American judicial processes. Finally, given increased globalization, lawyers frequently need to be able to operate effectively beyond our national borders — communicating with people of other legal traditions and understanding the potential complications when other legal traditions are implicated. As a result, we recommend that you take one or more courses in international or comparative law.”

“Beyond these courses, you should select a balanced and well-rounded array of courses that add to your theoretical understanding, your doctrinal breadth, and provide you with exposure to the range of skills that a good lawyer needs. You should choose a mixture of public law courses, such as Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Environmental Law, International Law I, or Federal Courts, and private law courses such as Commercial Law, Corporate Finance, Intellectual Property, International Law II, or Family Law. Most faculty members would also encourage you to take at least one course a year (or semester) that particularly piques your interest even if it is not clear how it will fit into your career plans.”

“Lawyers are called upon to use not only their analytical skills and substantive knowledge, but also their ability to structure creative solutions, to work collaboratively with others, to negotiate effectively, to be persuasive orally and in writing, and to communicate effectively with both lawyers and non-lawyers. Therefore, you should consider taking courses that use a variety of pedagogical formats and enhance your skills in a variety of areas. We recommend that you consider doing a clinic. Clinics offer not only the opportunity to “learn by doing,” but also the unique opportunity to engage in critical self-reflection about the lawyering process. In addition to our clinics, Georgetown offers an extensive array of practice and problem based courses such as Business Planning Seminar, Negotiation, Civil Discovery, and Trial Practice.”

“Some students discover their area of professional interest while in law school. For these students, we have provided lists of courses in particular subject areas. The Dean’s Office and faculty members will be glad to provide advice on the selection and sequencing of courses in particular subject areas. But, if like many other students you are unsure of what your professional interest in law are, remember that a life in law is a life time of learning from other lawyers, from your clients and CLE courses and we hope through Georgetown. Finally, many students find very rewarding an experience of deep and intensive engagement in the 3rd year either through a capstone seminar such as Professor Tushnet’s Advanced Constitutional Law Seminar or a major clinic. You may want to plan your schedule accordingly.”

“You will find additional information on this Web site and in the bulletin. We also encourage you to seek advice about your specific academic programs from individual professors or the deans during the course registration process. In addition, various group events such as the Curriculum Fair and Faculty Panels on Course Selection are helpful sources of information.”

What conservative citizens can do: Obama, Pelosi, Democrat Party & now Sandra Fluke want churches to pay for birth control. What about Freedom of Religion? Why it’s time Issa asks the Congressional Black Caucus 3 questions!

reproductive
reproductive rights

First free government paid birth control pills.

Later, govt paid free treatment for ovarian cysts?

Sandra Fluke’s story: Law student Fluke has a student friend with an ovarian cyst who lost an ovary due to Georgetown University’s no birth control coverage. But what about coverage under parents’ medical policy until age 25?

And after free government paid birth control pills, what about free cervical caps, free IUD’s, free diaphragms, free treatment for sexually transmitted disease, free abortions and free after abortion care …

These women related birth control costs can sky rocket. And what about the cost of contraceptives for men? “It’s only fair…” will say Obama …

A woman, Sandra Fluke, knowingly chooses to go to a Catholic law school, Georgetown University. Ms. Fluke spends the next 3 years as a law student fighting Georgetown’s policies. Ms. Fluke researched Georgetown’s policies on contraceptives and knowingly choose to enroll.

Georgetown University does not pay for birth control contraceptives.

Recently, President Obama mandates free birth control pills for all women. Obama’s mandate requires Catholic churches, charities and religious institutions — and perhaps Georgetown University — to provide all forms of contraception at no cost to women. [Clearly all health premiums will increase as there is ‘no free lunch’.]

Congress held hearings as to whether President Obama violated the Constitutional right of religious freedom. Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke tried to testify before Darrell Issa’s congressional hearing.

California Republican Darrell Issa is the Chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Ms. Fluke was denied the right to participate on the panel or to testify as an expert witness by Congressman Issa as she described herself a reproductive rights activist [what law classes has she taken in reproductive rights? What field studies? what basis for expertise?]. Fluke has no expertise regarding religion and she is not a priest, preacher or other religious leader.

Democrat Nancy Pelosi held a hearing Feb. 23, 2012. Pelosi called Sandra Fluke to testify. Ms. Fluke testified before Pelosi that government should pay her the $1,000 a year that Fluke and other Georgetown female law students have to pay for birth control pills.

Ms. Fluke testified that woman at Georgetown University Law School cannot afford the $1,000 a year which contraceptives cost. [Georgetown’s tuition is $40,000 and room and board costs $20,000. Checking around, birth control pills can be purchased for as little as $5 and about $50 a month through Planned Parenthood.]

Is all of this orchestrated by Obama’s reelection committee? Done so that more women are likely to vote for Obama in 2012?

Clearly, Obama and Pelosi and the Democratic Party are not concerned about reducing disease and sexually transmitted diseases.

It is well known that condoms and foam are the best methods to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. And it is also well known that birth control pills are related to blood clots in woman. So, to protect women’s health other methods such as cervical caps or diaphragms can be used by women and do not pose health risks.

What about men?
The cost of birth control methods by men [vasectomies, condoms] is not mentioned by Obama, the Democrats or Nancy Pelosi. So, it appears that this is all about dangling a carrot before women.

Dangling the carrot of free birth control pills for women is all about the continuing saga that Obama, Pelosi and the Democrat Party want more control of people’s lives. Democrats like Pelosi and Obama want control over sexuality, reproduction and who has babies.

Elijah Cummings of the Congressional Black Caucus, criticizes Congressman Issa for not allowing Ms. Fluke to be on the panel — nor allow her to testify But law student Fluke has no known expertise in areas relevant to religious freedom. Law student Sandra Fluke had a story to share: a fellow student at Georgetown suffered an ovarian cyst which was not covered.

Republican Darrell Issa is Chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Democrat Elijah Cummings from Maryland’s 7th district, is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

It’s time that Congressman Darrell Issa asks that Elijah Cummings answer the following questions:

1. Does the Congressional Black Caucus, of which you Cummings are a member, support the U.S. Constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion?

2. Do you Congressman Cummings support legislation passed by former President Clinton and currently the law which protects religious freedom?

3. Answer yes or no Congressman Cummings, Congress has the authority and can and should question the constitutionality of President Obama’s recent mandate to require religious institutions –such as Georgetown University — to provide free contraceptives?

So, why not cut and paste the above three questions and send them along to Democrat Congressmen Cummings with a cc to California Republican Congressman Darrell Issa? It’s easy to do.

Firenze Sage: Happy Halloween falls to Islam… [American judge OK’s Muslim attack on man in Halloween costume]

Hallowen

costume

A victim wearing a Halloween costume in Pennsylvania was attacked by a Muslim, Talaag Elbayomy. The attacker said that the Halloween costume was a version of the Prophet Muhammad and hence the attack was justified.

The attack was recorded on film and witnessed by a police officer. The police promptly arrested the assailant, who was later charged with harassment.

But, as legal scholar Jonathan Turley notes in his blog, the judge who heard the case dismissed the case on the grounds that the offense to Islam was not protected speech.

The judge also lectured the victim on the wrongheaded nature of his views. Judge Mark Martin’s decision was based on the idea that the assailant, one Talaag Elbayomy, was merely defending “his culture.”

An apple a day… A Chicken McNugget a day… An illegal act by Obama each day … keeps the Public at bay!

apple a day
written by Aptos Psychologist
It’s time to confront President Obama’s illegal acts. And we can!

Remember that adage? ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’? Obama transmogrifies it into,

‘A Chicken McNugget a day keeps the the school food police away’. nutritional content?

Citing ‘nutritional concerns,’
South Carolina school authorities replaced a child’s homemade turkey and cheese sandwich with fried Chicken McNuggets from the school cafeteria.

But what’s in Chicken McNuggets? What percent protein? How much additives?
Nobody knows.

Checking McDonald’s web site, there is no information listed as to percent of protein in a Chicken McNuggets. Further, there’s zip info as to percent of added water, sodium phosphates, sugar, wheat and other added ingredients.

So, you got to eat it — but you can’t know what’s in it that you are eating. Is that Obama-Care sense? Yes. There are no U.S. standards as to percent protein in a Chicken McNugget or how much X, Y or Z can be added.

As to other countries: Canada requires that the equivalent of a chicken McNuggets have no less than 12% meat protein when cooked. And, no more than .5% phosphate salts can be added to a Canadian McNuggets

With Obama’s new food standards for schools in place, children are required to eat food such as McNuggets which are of unknown, questionable nutritional value.

Looking at Obama’s actions and not his words, Obama’s motto can be phrased,

‘An illegal act a day keeps the ….. Republicans … Conservatives … Public at bay’.

Obama’s illegal acts include:

On Jan. 4, 2012, without the advise and consent of Congress (congress was in session), President Obama made 4 appointments. Those four appointments by Obama were illegal acts.

In violation of current law — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1993 — and the Bill of Rights, this last week Obama mandated that religious organizations provide contraceptives without regard to their religious beliefs and practices. Then Obama amended the mandate to require that private insurance companies provide contraceptives for free. Which means that the religious organizations must pay higher premiums.

One hundred years ago, the Girl Scouts of America was founded.
And there will be much celebration of this organization rated 8th out of 100+ non-profit organizations.

be prepared!
be prepared!

Both the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts have the same motto:
Be prepared! And so must all Americans.

Be prepared. Expect that President Obama will commit more illegal acts.

And we must take appropriate, legal actions. One illegal act after another erodes our liberties and freedoms. The Democrat controlled Senate has not passed a budget in three years. That means that the Senate has not done its job.

So, write your congress and complain. Nag them!

Back to An Apple a Day that Keeps the Doctor Away:
apple a day

Doctors need to be paid appropriately. And our MD doctors are lowly paid by the federal government.

In our area –Santa Cruz County and Monterey County, California — Democrat Sam Farr has failed for 20 years to get appropriate payment for “rural” doctors.

Yet Santa Cruz as a City is rated as one of the most attractive in the nation as artistic and beautiful. Which it is. And Sam Farr for the last three years fully supports Obama-Care. It’s time that California voters in Sana Cruz and Monterey look for better representation. And who might that be?

An update on the Adam & Eve Story of Creation: Obama tells God ‘all good things are free’ including contraceptives for Women, Adam complains & God acts

And on the Seventh Day after resting a while, God heard Barack Obama talking from afar to his foot soldiers in the Trojan Horse:

All must comply
All must comply

Come forth! All must comply! Go faithful soldiers at night to all hospitals, charities and faiths. Enforce what my servant HHS Sebelius says …

Isaiah 40:31 Wings like eagles
Isaiah 40:31 Wings like eagles

And God told Obama, Come hither, Barack O, and speak to to Me of your new Rule while I rest on the Seventh Day.

Remember, Barack O, the words I spoke to Man: Go forth and multiply.

Do not bend My Words to your desires, Barack O. Now, what is this new Rule you’ve imposed?

And Barack O said, Lord, This is my new Obama-Care Rule:

All things good are free. And all Technology is free which prevents Woman from bearing Child as pregnancy might threaten Woman’s life. And, all Women have a Right to say ‘no children’ and still enjoy the pleasure of husband, lover, friend or acquaintance.

And now, Lord, I go to write this Law for your people to follow.

Adam, hiding behind the Tree of Life,

Bibical Tree of Life
Bibical Tree of LIfe

overheard the conversation between God and Barack O. With fear and trembling after Barack O left, Adam approached God and said: Oh Lord, you have given me Woman and I am no longer alone. But what if Woman does not wants Child — and I do? How can I protect Child? And what if Child is not of my seed as I have not touched Woman?

And God said, Adam as first Man, I gave you freedom to choose. As a guide you have Joseph who protected Mary with child when he had not yet touched her. And Man said, Yes Lord, I will protect if there is a growing child to protect.

But Lord, is it fair that Woman has a Right to say ‘no Child’ and pay zero for the Technology which prevents or kills Child in her womb — and I do not have similar Rights? Barack O’s new Rule gives all power to Woman and leaves Man and Child with no power.

And Adam continued: Lord, Barack O’s new Rule injures Man and all Men. As all Men are injured we seek protection. To what authority or what court can Man go to oppose Barack O’s new Mandate? Lord, can we sue for standing?

And God replied to Man, I will think on these things. And I will think about Child’s Rights and Man’s Rights. Woman’s Rights must not overcome the Rights of Man or Child.

There must be some balancing of powers, said God. If Man is akin to the executive. And if Woman with her husband oversees the Purse of Money …. Mmmmm. And Child does need some protections… And God said, I will consult my legal scholar sons, Scalia and Roberts.

And God said, Perhaps Man, if you are injured by Barack O’s new Rule, you can go to a Court of Law and sue for standing.

Sue for standing as injured party
Sue for standing as injured party

And Adam said, Oh Lord, please read Wealth of Nations written by my brother Adam Smith. And, just as you have given Man free choice to love and obey you, think about the use of Free Markets to freely regulate the cost of Technology that prevents or kills what is in Woman’s womb.

Adam continued, It’s better that both Man and Woman have free choice about whether to use and what kind of Technology to use. It’s not good that Woman has whatever served up free on a platter.

Then Adam continued, There are these plastic things Man can use.

Condoms prevent  disease
Condoms prevent disease

They prevent sexually transmitted disease and AIDS. Lord, let the Free Markets decide the cost of contraceptive Technology for both Man and Woman.

And Lord, your son Barack O has already made many, many Rules that take away your people’s freedom to choose.

Oh, Lord God, What is called Obama-Care creates 159 new govt agencies and is indeed a labyrinth designed to control people. See what it looks like:

Obama-Care complexity
Obama-Care complexity

Oh, Lord, Barack O passed a Rule called the Individual Mandate that all adults must go to a certain place called an Exchange. And all must register. And all must buy a product just because they are alive.

And if they do not buy this product, called health insurance, they must pay a fine. The fine is fairly small, and many people will choose to pay the fine rather than buy the product. But over time there will be no free markets managing the price of this product.

Your son Barack O seeks to enslave your people. He wants your people dependent upon him for their rights.
rights from God

Instead of the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness coming coming from You, Lord to Man, Woman and Child, Barack O wants all rights to come from him as ruler. And over time your people will become more and more dependent upon Obama and rulers like him.

Lord, what are we to do? Can’t You just unleash Your Justice? and let Justice roll down from the Hills?

And Lord, I thought you rested on the Seventh Day. Are you sure that Rule about free Technology for Woman makes sense?

And God say to Adam: You are an argumentative son! Six days I have labored and I was resting before I called Barack O before me to hear about his new Rule to give Woman free Technology. Had I rested more …

That Barack O Rule is a mistake! I will send a Messenger god of thieves

to tell Barack O I do not want him to impose that Rule forcing companies to provide a product for free.

Nothing is free except that which is given freely. Perhaps Hermes, who the Greeks called the god of thieves, can knock some sense into Barack’s hard head!

As for the other Rules Barack O has passed, my people must wisely use the freedoms they have. They can and must petition their government

petition redress Obama-Care grievances
petition redress Obama-Care grievances

for redress of grievances. They have many tools to defend their freedoms. Use those tools wisely.

And I will listen to my people, to those who wait on the Lord. I will give them strength.

They who wait on the Lord shall rise up with the wings of eagles and run and not be faint.

Read again from my prophet Isaiah. He promised what I continue to do. [Isaiah 40:31]

And, Man, be careful. Barack O is a willful son who often follows his own path.

Now go, that I may rest for the remainder of the Seventh Day.

And Man did as God bid.

Aptos Psychologist: Here’s how to repeal the Trojan Horse of Obama-Care …

Obama-Care a Trojan Horse
Obama-Care a Trojan Horse

Everything Obama can do we as voters can do better.

And do so with more honesty, courage and consistency than Obama has shown as President.

Obama has the bully pulpit. And he already is spending Obama-Care billions:

“The Obama administration will announce soon as much as $1 billion in funding to hire, train and deploy health-care workers, part of the White House’s broader “We Can’t Wait” agenda to bolster the economy after President Obama’s jobs bill stalled in Congress.”

Voters likewise can take up the bully pulpit. And, very importantly, join together with other like minded souls.

How voters can use their bully pulpit: First of all, start a blog and join other blogs who oppose Obama-Care. Use either WordPress.com or WordPress.org.And blog religiously — that means regularly.

Make the blog’s title clear that you oppose Obama-Care: No More Obama & repeal Obama-Care is the message. There are political Web Rings which you can join.

Several years ago, the conservative talk show host Rush Linbaugh started a campaign to slow down the crowning of McCain as the Republican candidate. That strategy is still valid for 2012.

As long as there is more than one candidate in the race Obama and his crew cannot focus a negative campaign on just one person. So, do what you can do so Rick Santorum and Ron Perry remain as viable candidates for as long as possible And they are viable, strong candidates. And they just might even win though considerably behind right now as of Feb. 2012.

Second, whatever your political leanings, if you oppose Obama-Care, go register as Republican. That way your vote counts in the primary.

Third, write (after appropriate professional consultation with your doctors)an End of Life Medical Directive stating that: a) you reject and want no part of Obama-Care; b) that you reject Obama-Care’s method of the rationing health care for the elderly; c) that you reject the use of ‘death panels’ making medical decisions for you or your loved ones.

Fourth, put a brief statement up on your blog stating that you oppose Obama-Care in its entirety. Send a copy to your Congresspersons.

Fifth, take a liberal/progressive neighbor out for coffee. And tell them how you as a neighbor feel about Obama-Care. Converse and listen to what they have to say. Get the message out to your neighbors and friends. Send e-mails.

Sixth, if you have not already, join a religious/ spiritual group in your community which has evangelism — the zealous advocacy of a cause — as an integral part of its’ Judeo-Christian mission. It’s easier to spread the word when you join with other who are like minded. And through that group, start a Health Care discussion which includes discussion of books and speakers.

Have you noticed that liberals/ progressives vilify ‘the evangelicals’ as an entity with extreme ideas which are out of keeping with modern values? Newspaper columnists typically talk about ‘the evangelicals’ as if they were one coherent group.

You might find “The Real Scandal of the Evangelical Mind” an interesting read. It’s available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. Written by Carl Trueman, a conservative theologian, Trueman pokes holes in the notion that there is any coherent evangelical mind. So, Carl Trueman a conservative theologian thinks that the entity does not exist what the progressives and liberals vilify.

In my view, evangelicals are part of many if not most religious groups.

Some newspaper columnists poke fun at Rick Santorum for holding core values which include opposition to homosexual marriage. For those who oppose Obama-Care it’s important that Santorum has core values and that he is willing to state what they are.

Think about where Obama formed his core values: Obama spent twenty some years in Rev. Wright’s congregation wherein the Rev. preached many ‘god damn America’ sermons.

Different from evangelism, the definition per Google of ‘evangelicalism’ is “the missionary, reforming or redeeming spirit evident throughout the history of Christianity in various guises or emphasis”.

Obama seems to lack the core beliefs in the Judeo-Christian principles that under gird America’s basic political documents — the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Voters via blogs can focus on Obama’s core values which are antithetical — opposite to — the core values of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Whereas our political documents look to God as the source of our freedoms, Obama looks to government as the source of people’s freedoms. And what government gives — government can take away. Obama never uses the words “endowed by their Creator” when he talks about basic individual freedoms.

Christian morality is steeped in belief and adherence to the Ten Commandments which include: ‘thou shalt have no other gods before me’ i.e., the worship of God is primary; ‘honor thy father and mother that thy days may be long ‘ i.e., that the children who honor their parents will themselves live to be elderly and frail; ‘thou shalt not bear false witness” i.e., don’t lie and ‘thou shalt not steal thy neighbor’s wife or ox’.

Obama’s behavior as President does not show adherence or belief in these basic Commandments.
>

Does Obama honor the elderly and infirm? No.
Obama puts no value on the life of a 95 year old grandmother who wants a pace maker. Obama said its better to just give old people pain pills rather than quality health care that is expensive.

Does Obama steal? Obama’s low interest money policies hurt savers and those living on fixed incomes. Who is that? The old. Obama in effect ‘steals’ from the old who saved for their retirement. Obama took [stole?] $500 million from Social Security to fund Obama-Care. That is taking from the elderly.

To summarize: Yes we can repeal the Trojan Horse of Obama-Care.

conservative writer Laura Bramon Good on God’s Love – about her marriage breakup

Faith, Hope & Charity
Faith, Hope & Charity

Laura Bramon Good lives in Washington, D.C. and writes on human trafficking issues. Below Laura Good writes a post titled God’s Love which concerns her marriage breakup.

In keeping with what she says each brought to their marriage, did she first eviscerate him and therefor he had to abandoned her? Were what she writes the reality of my marriage I might write about it but not under my real name. For sure, Laura Bramon Good’s ex-husband needs privacy to heal.

Laura’s post reminds one of I Cor. 13 on faith, hope and charity. “And the greatest of these is charity…” Perhaps privacy at times is part of charity. Laura Bramon Good creates strong, visual images.
