The Last Straw to America's Economic Disaster

This article was written in partnership with the precious metals firm "Mayfield’s Bullion & Rare Coin Company". Mayfield's B & C is the firm that correctly predicted the rise in gold prices. Their consultants advise major brokerage firms and mining companies from around the world on the political and economic trends that effect the market price and supply/demand fundamentals of gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
 
As I am sure you are aware the metals market has gone up and has gone up a great deal compared to prices through-out the 90's, when gold was at an average of around $300.00 to $380.00 per oz. It is currently hovering at approximately $1700 per oz.

The government is incapable of acting in a responsible manner as related to spending and this out of control money grab is weakening the dollar as nothing else could. The country is over 16 trillion dollars in debt and has recently passed a bill to keep that insane trend alive. I cannot express enough, the dire consequences of this irresponsible government spending mentality, how utterly destructive this can be to everything Americans have worked for. I will not be going deeply into all of the fundamental factors that cause a currency to collapse, or why gold and silver are the only real safety net. However I will say this, we are not immune to the collapse of our currency,  just like Mexico or more recently Greece. In fact, we are very close to the same point of GDP to debt that Greece was, before their economy tanked.

The U.S. Government is now printing money and pumping it into the economy to increase liquidity. They are hoping this strategy will jump-start the economy with readily available, cheap, money. This has been going for the last few years but the Feds relatively new policy, of not publishing the numbers, is making it harder to track. This increase in supply will reduce the value of existing money and can be the very catalyst to cave-in, what value remains in our currency. The Fed can’t work much magic with interest rates because raising them would adversely effect our own massive debt. None of the politicians in Washington are willing to step up because they are afraid of ruining their political career by actually addressing the real problem. This is largely due to a unashamed titling in the media towards the hard left.

One current and very troubling global trend, is the acquiring of Gold and dumping of U.S. debt by Russia and China, with China being the biggest player in this shell game. The only reason China would be acquiring such large quantities of gold, while at the same time selling U.S. debt, would be an attempt on their part, to insulate themselves from a major U.S. economic decline and or currency collapse. The reason for their concern is obvious, China owns about 8 percent of publicly held U.S. debt. Of all the holders of U.S. debt, China is the third-largest, only behind the Social Security Trust fund's $3 trillion and the Federal Reserve's $2 trillion. This exposes China to significant risk if the U.S. dollar goes south but the assumption that China would try and collapse the US economy out of anger, or completive greed, by dumping their holding in bills, notes and bonds, is misguided, simply because it could negatively effect them as much as it could the U.S. One of the primary reasons China has been such a large buyer of U.S. dept in the first place, is their need to keep the dollar strong. This makes the goods they sell to the U.S. cheaper. The U.S. demand for their exports has been, and still is, a major driving force behind their incredible growth. By dumping U.S. debt and collapsing the dollar, they would essentially, be destroy their 2nd largest customer, with the European Union being their largest. That is beginning to changing however, what we have seen from China over the last decade, but far more so, over the last 4 years, has been an accelerated shift toward other markets. They have reduced their buying and have slowly been attempting to divest themselves of their dependency on U.S. markets. In short, they see the writing on the wall and that does not bode well for the furture outlook of the U.S. economy. The time it will take China to replace the U.S. demand for their products is unknown but it is possable that within 3 to 5 years China could drop an economic bomb on the U.S. and be able to survive it themselves.

Gold is tied to the dollar because gold is bought in terms of dollars worldwide. This makes it the perfect hedge against a declining U.S. economy, especially for those counties exposed to the risk of owning U.S. treasuries. So where does that leave you? Private central banks, faced with monetary uncertainties, such as the negative global impact of a decimated U.S. dollar, are also acquiring gold as protection. They have been quietly acquire gold, mostly through third parties, because they know that printed money is only a promissory note, and isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, once the issuing country becomes over exposed to monetary mis-management! Central banks are now acquiring vast amounts of gold, and this is a major red flag. These banks do not increase their gold holding unless they are concerned with a major currency collapse or global economic down-turn. It is their actions that have compelled me to write this short article. For professional advice contact: Mayfield's Bullion & Rare Coin Company at www.mayfieldcoin.com

The dangers of pornography

The world we live in has changed and it has changed in ways we are still having trouble adjusting to. One of the most insidious and destructive changes we have seen from the days, before computers made their way into every home in American, is the proliferation of pornography. We as parents
see pornography as distasteful and even evil but we are often uneducated as to what the actual harm is. What happens to us, or our children, from continued exposure to this drug of lust? While medical research data is limited, there have been some studies done and those studies have only solidified my research

One such study is "Pornography and Addiction: Brain Chemistry Research and Porn" (by Marnia Robinson). Here is a link to Marnia's research: http://www.reuniting.info/download/pdf/ORI.pdf

Let me first begin with the method by which I obtained my data. The research I have done is composed from interviews with hundreds of drug addicts and sex additcs, in the southern region of the U.S. The reason drug addicts offer so much valuable insight into sex addiction is, the two are chemically very much the same. That statement sounds unreasonable seeing the drug addict ingests his addictive substance and the sex addict does something that is a natural body function. However in the case of addiction, the brain does not always recognize the difference.

Here is a relevant excerpt from Marnia's reasearch: "There are evident parallels between drug use and heavy porn use: escalation, tolerance, impaired decision-making, anxiety, altered perception, and so forth. There are also strong parallels between the withdrawal symptoms of addicts and the withdrawal symptoms of heavy porn users who try to quit: shakes, severe insomnia, persistent headaches, irritability, extreme cravings, despair, brain fog, desire to isolate, flu-like symptoms, and so forth."

To further our understanding of what happens to the brain as we do things repetitively, I will take another quote from Marnia Robinson's research.

"Psychiatrist Normal Doidge (The Brain That Changes Itself) has explained that brain plasticity means porn causes physiological changes in the brain."

So what is Brain Plasticity? Dr Doidge could explain it better then I could but as it relates to the topic of addiction, I understand this concept very well. Drug addicts, as do sex addicts, change as they fall deeper into addiction. Their very brain's begin to translate information in a way that not only justifies the activity, it even begins to connect drug use with other things, such as smell or sound and these are called triggers. While this is less of an explanation of Brain Plasticity and more of a result, for our purposes it will help us to understand that porn is not something one can easily stop, once addicted.

Once the brain has adjusted (molded) and transformed itself into that of dependency, it seeks the release of brain chemicals such as dopamine and oxytocin. The porn addict becomes ensnared by compulsion and not only mentally but chemically over-uses his natural instincts to mate. This over-use of libido then unknowingly often triggers depression, or other disorders, which are really a response to depleted D2 receptors.

(Interestingly oxytocin (oxy-toe-in) is sometimes use to help people get over addictions such as smoking. This is useful because it helps replace one thing with another and thus changes the brain chemistry to a more normal state.

"In terms of how it lights up the brain with hit after hit of dopamine, today's porn is more like a drug or like gambling. It hijacks normal mating circuits without leading to satiety"

"The research situation is complicated by the fact that orgasm itself creates a drug-like high. Dutch scientist Gert Holstege observed, while viewing scans of men ejaculating, that the scans reminded him of scans of people shooting heroin. (Brain activation during human male ejaculation) Masturbation to Internet porn is a double neurochemical hit: the rush of watching extreme material and (eventually) the reinforcing rush of orgasm, both of which rapidly consolidate learning-i.e., wiring in the synapses."

So far I have tried to outline a basic medical understanding of brain chemistry as it reacts to drugs or porn. I will try to further this understanding with what drug and porn addicts revealed in my research. The ease and availability of porn makes it very destructive in a way drugs are not. While the after-response of use is much the same, guilt, shame, unfufillment, and back to use in order to mask the discomfort of feelings. The lack of possible legal consequences, the relatively low cost and the instant availability, make going back to the drug of pornography, far easier. This is important because with porn, the user is not faced with the extreme anxiety,of getting money, or purchasing an illegal substance, (often in dangerous neighborhoods) to achieve the high.

Porn is a powerful stimulant and just like a drug, it becomes impossible to sate the users desires, while paradoxically, most users say it is better then sex with a partner. The actual act of coupling tends to dispel the fantasies the user wants to retain and does not produce the same chemical drop that pornography gives. The imagination, coupled with graphic images, allows the sexual experience to be manipulated internally in a way more precisely connected with specific desires thus increasing the release of the brains pleasure chemicals. As the porn addict repeatedly acts out erotic scenes in isolated fantasy, they always build emotional walls to protect their secret sex fix, just as alcoholics block and avoid people or situations in order to protect their drinking. The porn users perception of sex and more importantly love, become distorted and warped as their associations with the opposite sex change.
Many porn addicts say they can no longer become aroused without porn and almost all of them have damaged their ability to connect on a passionate level with a partner outside of the parameters of lust. Most I have interviewed also fantasy about a particular porn imagine when having sex with a partner. This often leads to relationship issues, further isolation, and self justification for the use of more porn. The porn user just like the drug user, remembers the euphoric state achieved in the start of their using and often tries to re-create that first high.
Almost all of those asked need a large variance in the porn they view. They do not want to watch the same porn over and over, in the same way many men and women want new sex partners. This variance for addicted porn users is, in a way, them trying to reach the perfect imagined/mental place during masturbation. They tend to look for just the right sequence of events, sex position, combination of partners or any combination of those and other things, to achieve the desired mental and chemical reaction in the brain. One major problem is, they are almost always let down. The act of trying to achieve this euphoric place is usually better then the anticipated result.
The litmus test for association is the Pavlov effect. Do they see, feel, or smell, something that triggers their usage of porn in the same way as their drug of choice? The answer to that question is a resounding yes. Every one of the drug addicts interviewed, who where also pornography addicts, experienced the same triggering effects with porn, as with drugs. The most common series of physical effects at the point of the trigger, aret, a quick euphoric anticipation, butterflies in the stomach, then sudden plan-making to achieve the solitude, isolation, or set-up, they desire for masturbation, just like drug users.

I think it important to distinguish the difference between a sex addict and a porn addict. While a porn addict is always a sex addict, a sex addict is not always a porn addict. There are millions of sex addicts who fulfill their addiction by having sex with partner after partner. Porn addicts almost always want to be alone and this resembles a drug addict in a particular way. It is the isolation and lack of human interaction that allow them to fully immerse themselves in fantasy. It is more often then not, role playing in ones own mind and the variation usually become more perverse the longer the addict uses the drug of porn. The addictive effect is also progressive, meaning the disease picks up where it left off even after years of abstinences. This progressive effect is also a cornerstone of what we know about drug addiction.

The porn addict has the same disease as the drug addict. Further proof of this is the large numbers of sex addicts, who are also drug addicts. This cross over, from one drug to another, is also very common with drug addicts. Drug addicts, who may not have access to their drug of choice, more often then not, end up addicted to another substance, they used to replace it. 

The final observation I would like to express, is the difficulty cocaine addicts, who used cocaine, while watching porn, have in getting clean. One man (Mike W.) I interviewed, wrote this about the phenomena.

"The mixture of cocaine and pornography is a very potent and destructive combination. Even if the desire to use drugs is not present at a given moment the basic underlying need for intimacy and sex spawned by the base desire for lust became an almost constant that triggered the drug desire which intensified the sexual desire. I don't know weather it was the chicken or the egg but the two worked so closely together that the combination drew even more power from my most basic needs and then perverted them into pure lust. It then uses those base desires to draw me right back to a using state. This mixture and my own feelings of remorse, shame and guilt made it truly impossible for me to overcome my addictions."

The drug cocaine has an effect on porn users that deeply intensifies the brain chemistry and helps them go deeper into the fantasy. It fuses the two together in such a way that a trigger for either is a trigger both. This makes it super humanly hard to avoid relapsing and also decreases the enjoyment of one with out the other. This Phenomena is not exclusive to the drug cocaine, it is possable with other drugs as well, even those not nearly as potent as cocaine. This is a good example of how the brain molds (Plasticity) itself to achieve an over-stimulated, dependent state. All porn addicts who are also sex addicts interviewed, when possable, used drugs during or before masturbation or sex in order to intensify the high of both.

Life, Liberty and Lies?

What is liberty? What is pursuit of happiness? Do we, as a collective, strive to greater prosperity through social progress, or is it the individual who claims responsibility for his success and happiness by his own efforts? These two things, are in fact, very different because one is not liberty at all, even though it may sound like it is. The word individual, means a personal effort has to be made. It is the opportunity to be successful, and it is what drew millions of immigrants from around the world to this country. 

 The American dream can mean many things, from a house, car, wife and 3 kids, to owning a chain of retail stores and being fabulously rich. It is in the dream that we find the will, the drive, to strive forward and succeed, because in America, unlike most places in the world, that dream can be made real. We have, however, slowly become a society of lies and now we lie about practically everything. We even lie about the names we attach to things or actions in order to lesson the harsh truth, the reality. We call it political correctness. It does make some sense that the word political, is in the lie because it is from our government, and our media that many of these dishonest ideals spring. The words we often use are, spin, evolving, flipping, or flip flopping on a previous stance. Today even the word Politics means lie, it suggests turning the truth into something else for your gain or advantage.

Today's most dangerous progressive trend, or lie, is re-naming socialist schemes into something that sounds rational. Unfortunately, more often then not, the names given to important Government plans, legislation, even U.N. initiatives, such as agenda 21, do not suggest anything even remotely close to what these plans really contain. Disguised as, green, or environmental initiatives, the U.N. attempts to grab control of U.S. resources. Does that sound crazy? Have you ever hear of the term "Sustainable Development?" If so, you have heard of agenda 21, and this is the very point of this article. Our leaders and our enemies, are changing the language (lying) to make the the dangerous sound unthreatening. We had a local mill tax on the ballot here in my district. It was written in a way, that when the residents voted no to the tax increase, it actually meant they voted yes. We all complained about the obvious deceit but you know what, I am still paying that tax today. Here is more on agenda 21: http://www.infowars.com/agenda-21-is-being-rammed-down-the-throats-of-local-communities-all-over-america/

How about this whopper, Obama's "Affordable Health Care Act" or Obama care. How on Gods green earth can adding 30 million non-payers to our heath care system, make it more affordable. That is not even true for the people who are getting it for free. The poor can go to a hospital now and get free health care, that is why we pay $8 for a Tylenol. More importantly, while these non-payers will get more health care, they will pay far more for it then they think. The cost of food and everything else will go up as a result of companies being forced to provide healthcare they can not afford.

 Of course lying is older then prostitution but we have normalized it in such a way, that it has colored our entire vision of the world. It has taken harsh reality and put a food-stamp in its place to create the illusion of well-being garnered at the hands of government. It is a pay off for your dreams, for possibilities. We have become the insecure children of unwed mothers and through the multitude of lies, we have lost our faith in something more.

It now offends people to see God expressed in public, while people all over the world desperately seek something to give their life meaning. We are covering ourselves in the false security of our government's empty words and borrowed money. We have lost more then our identity, we have lost our very soul as a nation, and this is because it was God who gave us that soul. From the very beginning, this countries core was founded on God. We as people need order to this confusing life, we need purpose and in the absence of God, we will seek it elsewhere. When that fails, we often give up, losing ourselves in despair and loneliness. Yet we wonder in shocked silence when our children kill.

 Our roots are not anchored in the soil our own clever enlightenment, our shinny brilliant technology, the new smart phone God, Ourselves. Yes the rest of the world is seeking a direction, a path, they are seeking hope, and Islam is happy to anchor them in its brand of purpose. In our greatest act of foolishness as a nation, we have tossed God aside for our own grandiose self absorption, and when that fails, as it always does, we look to what is left, and that is our new god, government.

For wasn't it them who stood high in spectacle and spoke of a better society, a happy life, as if they could change reality itself with clever programs and handouts. We then scream for legislated happiness. The clean utopian freedom of imagined principle. Not the freedom of our grandfather's, no today's freedom is also only one part true. Freedom now means a false financial security that the government gives us for free. This is not the place where dreams can be worked into reality, this is the trap of the free, yet borrowed wealth, that is and never was, free. We even changed the name of it to entitlement, to ease our fear and pacify those who take it. The very word entitlement suggests it was yours to begin with, when in fact it comes from another person, who is, or was, working for their own dream. That is of course the deepest of lies that our government forces on white America. It is the new old story, that we owe for our past sins of slavery. The fact that we have changed the name of welfare to entitlement encompasses the very heart of our dishonest concept of freedom better then anything else I can say. Who and why are, we the people, entitled to something we never earned. The truth is, this is just a payoff for the continued support of the free-money Left. It is hush money for the poor who perpetually stay that way because they are given just enough luxury to stay quite.

The the most deceptive part of this lie, is that it is being sold to us as compassion and those who speak against it are villainize as racist and uncaring, even if they never mentioned any specific race of people. It is those who politicize this division who are assuming the speech of race, thus it is them who are truly racist. But even they know this is only different a currency of hush money. No, welfare may have been a payoff sickness that started with poor black America but it has spread wide enough now that it is no long a race of people, it is an ideology of people. It is an ideology made of up of many colors and billed as compassion and progress, but in truth, it is politics cloaked by money that only requires compliance, slavery, for its acceptance. The problem is that working American is now just as much a slave to this lies as those getting the money. For if you work for someone and do not get paid for that work, what would you call it?

The government has become the insurance company between the working and the poor. It takes money from the working, removes its cut, and pays off the voter base.

We now even lie about being a nation of laws. Our legal system has become a crafty political machine that by agenda interprets our laws and even our very constitution in such a fashion that even our children have trouble grasping how they manage to come to their conclusions. We are ok with looking the other way on these liberal interpretations if they benefit the ideology we subscribe, if they benefit us. It is comical that our courts try and interrupt our founding fathers intent, yet reach conclusions that are in no way consistent with our founding father's most basic principals.

We do not even support our own immigration laws because it benefits a particular political party. Yet these supporting politicians grandstand on this unlawful position, as if they themselves invented compassion and honesty. We now have a government that requires all of its citizens to prove that they have health insurance, yet in order to vote they don't have to prove they are Citizens. We have a President who signs executive orders for stricter background checks in order to facilitate a purchase of a fire arm, of which ownership is a right guaranteed by the 2nd amendment of the constitution,
when he himself, could not pass the back ground check he imposed. Do you see any hypocrisy here? Well guess what, Hypocrite is just another lie. It says I believe in something, yet by my  actions, I do not believe in that very thing. Our president lies so often that we have to rename it in order to hide the shame of its deceit and then we side-step the dishonest intent because the lie favors our media's ideology.

I recently watched a news reporter on TV hold up the Bible and tell Christians that they do not follow the bible because they no longer kill sinners as they did in the old testament. Never once did he mention Jesus Christ as he condemns Christians as hypocrites. He displayed such a lack of understanding of the Christian faith it was astounding, yet he spoke with such passionate contempt as to deny God himself.

We have fallen America, not with our politics, that is but a symptom, but with our hearts. Lofty words from a colorful podium do not make them true. Getting a trophy for coming in last place is as much a lie as our president promising he will not go after our guns during his election campaign and is at this very moment exploiting children to take them away. Our president has became the master of false hope and this is a lie with-in a lie, because false hope is a lair in and of itself. We all long for lofty ideas to be true and the lie is told with its own deception built into our very hearts. It is only in the stark reality of daylight that we can see these false principles as the bound, decomposed, body's of lies that they are.

The most deceitful lie of all may be the lie not told, the lie of omission, because it require intelligent fore-thought in how you frame it, in order to reflect, what you want people to hear. This is what our media is doing to us every day, hours and hours of deceit on tap for the masses to revise reality into the orderly utopian government lie. 

While we debate endlessly over our preferred illusions, discounting our forefathers as antiquated and out of touch with our modern society, we again deceive ourselves. Our forefathers were far more in touch with reality then we are today. While we have instant communication, it is only a fast delivery system of our own desired outcome and we except or reject it as our ideology dictates. Our fore-fathers may have had to wait months for news but when reality hit, is was never mistaken for rumor. Our forefathers were grounded in truth more then we can ever be today. They were alive in ways we cannot imagine from our air-conditioned cubicles.

Our constitution was written in the most dire of times. The lives of its endorsers were threaten by the very paper they signed. America, if we now foolishly think, that imperial control has somehow vanished from the world, it is to our own detriment, that we yet again, lie to ourselves.

The American Holy War

In response to the anti-Bible rant on MSNBC's “The Last Word” hosted by Lawrence O’Donnell, I would like to mention a few important points that Mr. O'Donnell seemed to have missed. Mr. O'Donnell's main point was that the Bible has no role in the Inauguration Day ceremonies. He said and I quote:

“As I’ve pointed out in many previous episodes of the politics of religion, no one accepts all of the teachings of the Bible. No one! There are no literal followers, of, the word of God, as presented in the bible, left on earth. if there were any, they would have to be burning people at the stake, all day, everyday. For example, the Bible, orders that prostitutes be burned at the stake, the bible, orders, that the penalty for adultery is death, the bible orders that the penalty for not observing the Sabbath, is death! The bible has more death penalties in it then Texas law, and there is no Bible thumping church in, the, world, that follows the word of God, on all of those death penalties. Not one! Still, the president, following one of our most absurdist traditions in the government, that invented the separation of church and state, will put his hand on this book filled with things he does not believe, filled with things that no one in the United States of America believes, and with his hand on this book he will recite the oath of office.”

 

 

Let me start by saying, it is the absolute height of hypocrisy to use select quotes from the Bible in order to try and prove Christians to be hypocrites of their own beliefs, especially when you have not bothered to actually read the bible and more importantly do not grasp the most basic principles that it contains. This is what my wife calls, a Google Bible Scholar. Mr. O'Donnell says that no one accepts all of the teachings of the Bible. With this statement alone, we know that Mr. O'Donnell has no idea of what he is talking about. Putting aside the fact that excepting something and following something are completely different, I will attempt to help correct Mr. O'Donnell of his ignorance. There are two parts of the Bible. What O'Donnell quoted in Leviticus 18:22 is from the old testament, as is all of the parts that condone the killing of sinners. During his anti-Bible rant It seems that Mr. O'Donnell completely left out the part about Christ, and seeing that we call ourselves Christians, that would seem to me, quite an omission, however, after watching O'Donnell, and MSNBC news in general, it is obvious that this is nothing new to their style of News.

 

When Christ died on the cross he took on himself the sins of man. With that sacrifice there was a fundamental break from traditional Judaism. Meaning we went from condemnation under the Law to sanctification by Grace, through faith. Mr. O'Donnell we no longer kill prostitutes, sacrifice animals and we can eat pork sandwiches everyday if we choose, while still being in perfect harmony with our beliefs. You are correct in one thing, however, we as people could not, and cannot, follow the "Law" as written in the bible but what you also failed to understand, and what Google obviously did not explain to you, is that this was the very reason Christ came in the first place. Christians do not live by the "law" we live by Grace through faith. For me to explain this may be a waste of time, for the Bible also says that people like you, Mr. O'Donnell, will not be able to discern the truth anyway and it only strengthens my faith to see just how true that is.

 

O'Donnell's entire rant came about after Pastor Louie Giglio was removed from giving the benediction at President Obama's inauguration ceremony, for preaching a sermon 15 years ago on what his faith, according to the Bible, dictated. The question people like Mr. O'Donnell are constantly asking, is what parts of the old testament do Christians follow and what parts have changed since the sacrifice of Christ? This is usually the source of their arguments and is where they always attempt to find select quotes in order to villainize Christians as hypocrites. What these Google Bible scholars don't realize is that the Bible actually requires that someone honestly seek the truth in order for that person to find it.

 

I pondered how to explain this issue between the old and new testament without writing out the Bible myself, because it explains things far better then I could. But seeing that it is highly doubtful O'Donnell and those like him will go to the trouble of actually reading the Bible, I will make a short attempt at the basic idea. When asked what is the most important commandment in the Word of God, Christ answered, "Love God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul, and Love your neighbor as your self." No Christian is perfect but millions of us not only except the Bible, we actually follow the Bible perfectly, even if we sin, and we all sin. Those two Laws now reside in our hearts Mr. O'Donnell and really encompass all of the Biblical Laws we follow today. Here is an example: "Thou shall not steal". You cannot love your neighbor if you steal from him. We are now longer bound by the law in the old testament because Jesus fulfilled the law.

 

Mr. O'Donnell slanders the Bible and a good pastor for his faith, because they do not align with his own lack there of. He accuses Christians of using parts of the Bible and disregarding the rest, while he does that very thing to try and prove Christians as hypocrites. All the while, missing the most obvious fact of all, being that there was no such thing as a Christian before Christ. One of the most outlandish of O'Donnell's claims against the Bible, is that because there are different interpretations of the Bible, it has changed. In short, he is saying that because we change words to accommodate a more modern vocabulary, the unchanging word of God has changed. Mr. O'Donnell, the Bible is written in Hebrew and Greek and has not changed in over two thousands years. As a news reporter (I use the term very loosely) I would think that you would know that there are several words that can mean the same thing or express the same idea, even if you do not know how to interrupt Hebrew and Greek. You see Mr. O'Donnell, when a non-Christian holds up a Bible in condemnation of Christians, he holds himself up as the absolute king of hypocrites, because even Christians who use the law to judge, are judged themselves by that measure.

 

This one-sided view of morality is also making MSNBC's grandstanding on gun control just as hypocritical. While tearing down the Bible as a moral guide, it then turns around and blames the inanimate gun for the moral sickness of the man who shoots it. By not putting the two together, it allows them never to face their own lack of morality. It gives them something else to blame, that conveniently aligns it self with their political agenda. The reason we put our hand on the Bible is because it is a moral standard far above man and while we can never live up to that lofty standard, Christ made it possable for us to receive the free gift of grace and with that gift, we find we want to follow His higher standard and we repent, when we fall short. If our greatest standard is only that of man, we will do just as man's nature dictates and as we can see by the shooting at Sandy Hook, that standard has major flaws. If a man has no faith, believes that once he dies there is nothing else, then the decision to murder others, before killing himself, carries no consequences past death.

 

O'Donnell had the audacity to say that "no one accepts all of the teachings of the Bible. No one. ”

 

The fact that O'Donnell has deemed himself the spokesman for what Christians believe is laughable, given the massive ignorance he displayed in his overtly anti-Christian political rant

 

Mr. O'Donnell you are right about one other thing. Our president should not use the Bible in the upcoming Inauguration. No one who is paying any attention to what the President has done or said believes for a moment that Obama is a Christian or that he believes in the Bible. Sadly Obama should be sworn in with his hand on the Koran. With that thought in mind it begs the question, why haven't we heard you ranting about the Islamic faith. You said, and I quote "there is no Bible thumping church in, the, world, that follows the word of God on all of those death penalties". While Muslims are Not Christians they do in fact follow all of those death penalties and it's members, even now, are brutally murdering woman and Christians. You don't seem to have a problem with that, in fact it never even came up in your grossly inaccurate monologue.

 

I will leave you with a Bible verse that actually does apply Mr. O'Donnell, it seems to have been written for you and MSNBC in general.

 

2 Peter 2:1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. ² Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. ³ In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
