QUEEN PELOSI and the Little People-- I don't care who you are, Democrat, Republican, Independent, liberal or conservative, blue state or red state, you have to be appalled at the sheer gall of this woman!
Pelosi wasn't happy with the small USAF C-20B jet, Gulfstream III that comes with the Speaker's job; she was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat, 200-seat, USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back to California without stopping! I understand that a former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, flew commercial most of the time. Since Pelosi works only three days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California every Friday and we have to pay for her returns every Monday, at a cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way! That is $480,000 per month. Keep in mind, this figure does not include the cost of plane or crew – just the fuel. Think of the military families doing without while this woman keeps fueling that jet at our expense. She wants us to buy smaller cars and to conserve our carbon footprint. And on top of this, now she wants to tax our IRA's & 401K's!
Look at History; see what happened to nations that allowed their leaders to put themselves before their nation. We can stop this drift and save our nation if we will; but if we don’t, the next generation may not have either the will or the power to do it.

The Progresssive Movement
Progressive Churchmen Commend Communism
Observing the change in the church over the last few decades and feeling the loss of that which has been precious to us for generations, I tried desperately to be heard by writing a book— Beyond the Intention of Jesus, hoping that someone would take a stand with me against the progressive movement, known as Liberation Theology. I didn’t understand why I wasn’t more successful. But I understand now: It was too late to succeed! Liberation theology had already become the“preferred option,” not only of the “poor” but of the governments, universities and churches as well.
It’s too late to change the “main-line churches” that have accepted this evolving scheme, but how can we be silent! I am constantly reminded of our plight and, as in the case of Jeremiah the prophet, there is a fire burning in my bones, compelling me to speak out. In these essays I am speaking out, hoping that someone will listen and take a stand for God and truth, and perhaps accomplish something for Christ that I have not been able to do. If there is such a person out there, thank you in advance for your faith and courage. But let no one think it will be easy —leaves float with the tide; rocks stand against it.
Go back into the history of your church and recall how you used to have Bible studies and hear sermons from the Bible and sing biblical songs. Remember the sincere faith you received from your parents and your church when you were young. If you don’t have these special memories, perhaps you will have to ask someone in the previous generation. Compare what you remember or learn with the present theology of your church, the lack of interest they show in those who have not kept pace with their progressive theology, and their disdain for those who would dare to speak of the “old paths” and the “ancient wells;” observe your preacher’s failure to preach expository sermons from the Bible. While you are in a reflective mood, think of your own journey and see if you have also drifted. Is so, repent and return to the road you once traveled with Christ. It may take some effort on your part to get past the indifference that has so stealthily and gradually overtaken you and with which you have grown so familiar. But to see the light of grace again will be worth it all! Alexander Pope wrote of familiarity as follows:
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
Is to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
No wonder the Bible says, “Remember,” 232 times. Consider the trouble people have had because they failed to remember. “Remember, repent and return,” was the Lord’s instruction to the church at Ephesus. (Rev. 1:1-7) This is wonderful advice for the church today. Progressive deception has done its destructive work, leaving many uncertain about their faith and the truth of God they once held dear. Jesus is still saying, “Remember, repent and return.’
Missionary/Educator, “Communists are advocates of Christianity”
Dr. Otis Gatewood, a well-known minister in the Church of Christ, went to Germany as a missionary Soon after WW II. I learned about him when I became a Christian in 1950, and in 1960 I heard him speak at Michigan Christian College where he was president. I never heard of him again until 1989, when I was reading Dr. Fred Schwarz’s Christian Anti-Communism Crusade newsletter. Schwarz had written an article titled, “Evangelical Misinformation Concerning Communism,” in which he quoted an article from Dr. Gatewood’s mission paper, World Wide Contact Vol. XXIII No.3. The article was as follows:
“The communists themselves are in some ways advocates of Christianity. They teach truthfulness, honesty, thrift, industry, dedication, equality of all, monogamy, chastity, sobriety, diligence, obedience, humility, patience, love and honor in the family, productivity, fruitfulness, and they erect great school and hospitals, and give support to the aged. All these things are fruits of Christianity. The communists are, in many respects, practicing Christians. One Communist guide in Kiev pointed with pride to the statue of Prince Vladimir, on the banks of the Drieper River, who brought Christianity to the Soviet Union. I asked: ‘Have things been better since Christianity was brought to the Soviet Union?’ She replied: “Very definitely because before Christianity came here our people worshiped stones. Now we worship God.’ They deny God, yet they confess him, not only in action, but also in word.”
I was about as stunned as Dr. Schwarz was to read this from a Christian preacher, missionary and college president in an ultra-conservative church. But then I realized that Marxism is no respecter of persons—it gets into the mind and heart of preachers, teachers, missionaries and educators the same as it does the peasants. And once it does it stays there for a lifetime.
Missionary/Author, “Communism is an example for a reluctant church”
Dr. E. Stanley Jones, a prominent Methodist minister, author and missionary to India for many years, took the same turn Gatewood did. I have always loved Jones’ books and I was greatly inspired by a sermon I heard him preach on The Unshakeable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person in 1973, which became the title of his book later that year. I regarded him as a true believer and a great preacher, but I didn’t understand that he was equating the Kingdom of God with global socialism until I read his book.
When Stanley Jones was young he wrote the following: “I found…in Russia during a visit in 1934…the communists…building up a civilization without God, and doing it enthusiastically. The young people carrying earth out of the subway were chanting, ‘We are making a new world.’” (The Unshakeable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person, Abingdon Press, NY 1974, p. 32)
When Stanley Jones was old he wrote this: “When the Western world was flourishing in an unjust and competitive order, the church was bound up with it and was a part of that order, God reached out and put his hand on the Russian Communists to produce a just order and to show a reluctant church what it has missed in its own Gospel…To the degree that the Communists have caught the meaning of the Kingdom of God and have embodied them, they are a part of that Kingdom, even if they repudiate that Kingdom.” (Pastor Herman J. Otten, Baal or God, Lutheran News, New Haven, MO, p. 88)
First, Jones saw the Russian Communists “building a civilization without God,” but later he saw that “God reached out and put his hand on the Russian Communists to produce a just order and to show a reluctant church what it has missed in its own Gospel. This is Marxist liberation theology exemplified.
Conclusion
Now communism is old and Stanley Jones is gone. As communism was aging, a radical young
Liberation Theology Movement came of age. And after communism was deeply imbedded in society, this movement began to drop its title and become a part of the Progressive Movement. As communism is a cancer on the world, religious communism, in the form of liberation theologians, is a cancer on the church and university. But in time liberationists will be old also and will go the way of their Communist Party comrades, while the faithful remnant of God, which will always be young, will march triumphantly on. The glory that is Marxism will have passed away, taking millions of souls with it, and the liberationists with their unbelieving churches will have followed their demise.
When our churches were young people sang “Back to the Blessed Old Bible” and “There Is Power in the Blood,” but now that they too are old, they sing of a false liberation and a political kingdom, which have no place for either the Bible or the Blood.
Lenin said, “As long as capitalism and socialism coexist, we can not live in peace; in the end, one or the other of us will triumph—a funeral dirge will be sung over the Soviet Republic or over world capitalism.”
Some of us, who were contemporaries of Lenin (I was born a year before he died in 1924), belong to the Christian remnant who sang a funeral dirge over the Soviet Republic. But millions, like Otis Gatewood and Stanley Jones, heard the Marxist call fir liberation and left the doctrine of Jesus Christ for the propaganda of Karl Marx. They too defend Marxism by their demand for “peace and justice, i.e., yielding to socialist control and distributing the welt of the rich. But God will always have a remnant, which will stand up for Christ and speak out against this progressive socialism in our drifting nation and churches, and will remain standing to sing the funeral dirge over the Marxist Liberation Theology Movement. Perhaps we will sing about the Progressive Movement from the Gnostics to the liberationists, how it deceived and destroyed souls, and how the saints of God stood up for their Lord and fought it until its demise. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Don't Cry For Me, Argentina (America)
In the early 20th century, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world. While Great Britain’s maritime power and its far-flung empire had propelled it to a dominant position among the world's industrialized nations, only the United States challenged Argentina for the position of the world's second-most powerful economy.
It was blessed with abundant agriculture, vast swaths of rich farmland laced with navigable rivers and an accessible port system. Its level of industrialization was higher than many European countries: railroads, automobiles and telephones were commonplace
In 1916, a new president was elected. Hipólito Irigoyen had formed a party called The Radicals under the banner of "fundamental change" with an appeal to the middle class.
Among Irigoyen's changes: mandatory pension insurance, mandatory health insurance, and support for low-income housing construction to stimulate the economy. Put simply, the state assumed economic control of a vast swath of the country's operations and began assessing new payroll taxes to fund its efforts.
With an increasing flow of funds into these entitlement programs, the government's payouts soon became overly generous. Before long its outlays surpassed the value of the taxpayers' contributions. Put simply, it quickly became under-funded, much like the United States ' Social Security and Medicare programs.
The death knell for the Argentine economy, however, came with the election of Juan Perón. Perón had a fascist and corporatist upbringing; he and his charismatic wife aimed their populist rhetoric at the nation's rich.
This targeted group "swiftly expanded to cover most of the propertied middle classes, who became an enemy to be defeated and humiliated.
Under Perón, the size of government bureaucracies exploded through massive programs of social spending and by encouraging the growth of labor unions.
High taxes and economic mismanagement took their inevitable toll even after Perón had been driven from office. But his populist rhetoric and "contempt for economic realities" lived on. Argentina’s federal government continued to spend far beyond its means.
Hyperinflation exploded in 1989 and the final stage of a process characterized by "industrial protectionism, redistribution of income based on increased wages, and growing state intervention in the economy was the result.
The Argentinean government's practice of printing money to pay off its public debts had crushed the economy. Inflation hit 3000%, reminiscent of the Weimar Republic. Food riots were rampant; stores were looted; the country descended into chaos.
And by 1994, Argentina’s public pensions - the equivalent of Social Security - had imploded. The payroll tax had increased from 5% to 26%, but it wasn't enough. In addition, Argentina had implemented a value-added tax (VAT), new income taxes, a personal tax on wealth, and additional revenues based upon the sale of public enterprises. These crushed the private sector, further damaging the economy.
A government-controlled "privatization" effort to rescue seniors' pensions was attempted. But, by 2001, those funds had also been raided by the government, the monies replaced by Argentina’s defaulted government bonds.
By 2002, government fiscal irresponsibility induced a national economic crisis as severe as America’s Great Depression.
In 1902 Argentina was one of the world's richest countries. Little more than a hundred years later, it is poverty-stricken and struggling to survive.
We've seen this movie before. The Democrats' populist plans can't possibly work, because government bankrupts everything it touches. History teaches us that ObamaCare and unfunded entitlement programs will be utter, complete disasters.

Progressive Radicals
Karl Marx; Vladimir Linen and Saul Alinsky
1. Marx was impressed with Hegel’s dialectic idealism and Feuerbach’s progressive materialism, so he married them and called the union “dialectic materialism.”
2. Lenin became obsessed with Marx’s dialectic materialism, so he enforced it and changed the Russian Republic into the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR)
3. Alinsky was born in Chicago in 1909 and came to prominence during the first half of the 20th century. His book, Handbook for Radicals, had a great influence on both Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama in Chicago. Hillary wrote a critique of Alinsky’s book as a college thesis, which she titled There is Only the Fight. She had learned Alinsky’s method well and was ready to implement it. When her husband was elected president, she gleefully announced, “You got two for the price of one,” and jumped right in writing a socialist health care bill—just as the progressive Democrats in congress are doing in the Obama administration.
Barak Obama, James Cone, Bill Ayers, Pastor Wright and Michelle Obama
1. Barak Obama, a socialist community (union) organizer in Chicago, teaching the Alinsky method. He was also a member of Wright's church for twenty years, while Wright was preaching James Cone's radical black liberation theology
2. James Cone, founder of Black Theology and Black Power. He developed his Black Theology by combining the teaching of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. He became angry and ugly like Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, and told his followers to kill nonconformist, even their parents. And then he became a professor of theology at Union Theological Seminary.
3. Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground gang, who went around blowing up things, became a professor at Chicago University.
4. Pastor Jeremiah Wright has been under Cone’s spell for many years and is an angry man, just as his mentor. We heard him invoke God’s Name as he cursed America.
5. Michelle Obama, like her husband, was a radical activist in Chicago, but she doesn’t have the patience her husband has. When Barak won the election she said, “This is the first time in my life that I have been proud of America.” And while true patriots praise America’s goodness, she showed her contempt by saying, “America is downright mean.”
Comments: These activist radicals prefer world government to national soverignty; hence they are attempting to bring all nations under United Nations control. This is why we see so many socialists in government, working to change America into a socialist nation. All free nations that have fallen to communism have first fallen to socialism; the major difference between the two is their different shades of red.
In this series of essays, I want to give you an inside look at black liberation theology and its consequences. (I will have a brief series on liberation theology very soon). I also want you to know about contextual theology, feminine theology, gay theology and other varieties that reside under the liberation theology umbrella. And in order to understand what is happening to our constitutional government, we shall look into President Obama’s belief system, as well as that of Pastor Wright who preaches black theology according to James Cone rather than the Gospel of Christ according to the Bible. James Cone, Wright’s mentor, wrote Black Theology and Black Power forty years ago, which set black churches on a revolutionary quest for power and their own theology. Under the influence of Karl Marx, they believe that socialism must triumph over capitalism, blacks must subdue and subjugate whites, and the wealthy must be made to share their wealth (“spread the wealth around,” as Obama says). This is the old Marxist doctrine of thesis, antithesis and synthesis, which says that the thesis (capitalism) must be provoked to struggle with its antithesis (anti-capitalists) until a new thesis (socialism) is formed. This struggle will continue until socialisms developers into full-blown communism where everyone will be equal and share alike, and in the mind of religious Marxists, this perfect socialist (communist) state will be the Kingdom of God on earth. This process is the Marxist philosophy of history and the socialists’ dream of global unity. God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible and everything else that gets in the way of this progressive movement has to be rejected, renamed, ignored or destroyed in this quest for peace and justice. They say that peace will come with the cessation of conflict (when socialism takes control and destroys capitalism), and justice will be realized when wealth is distributed and everyone shares alike. Oops! There goes our national sovereignty and power, our independence and freedom, and our entire democratic form of government!
Don’t let anyone deceive you; we are in a struggle for survival. Both Marx and Lenin taught that the thesis (the capitalist free market system) is to be provoked by its antithesis (socialist forces) and engaged in a struggle for control. While democracy is fair and just, Marx and Linen taught that whatever means is necessary to accomplish a task is justified by the end result. This is what we are up against. Think for a moment about the presemnt congressional conflict over money, health care, stimulus packages, and progressive government control. All of thse are, at thteierheart, a socialist struggle with democracy for dominance. At present the liberals, many of whom are socialists, have almost complete control, but better times and a better nation are coming, just you wait (vote) and see! (If you want more information on the above persons, type their names in Google search).

Progressive Change
Vlatimir Lenin said, "Change! Change! Workers of the world unite! We are building a new world! We will distribute the wealth." This is Lenin’s Socialism that became Communism and changed Russia into the United Socialist States of Russia (USSR).
Barak bama said, "Change! Change! Change we need! Change we can believe in! We will “spread the wealth around and everyone will prosper. Yes we can!" This is Obama’s Socialism, which, if not corrected, will change the United States of America into the United Socialist Sates of America (USSA). We heard him say, “We must change America.” "We are only five days away from transforming America.”
Obama is following Lenin, who said, “Change is predetermined and progress is inherent in change.”
The purpose of this essay is to show that the Progressive Socialist’s mindset extends from Karl Marx through Vladimir Lenin and on to include Barak Obama.
Socialism:
A political theory advocating state ownership of industry
An economic system based on state ownership of capital
A political/ economical transition from Capitalism to Communism
Economic Justice:
Since it seems unfair for some to be rich while others are poor, the progressive have coined the phrase, “Economic justice,” which means “leveling the playing field” by taking from those who have and giving it to those who have not. In Obama’s own words, “Economic justice simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s an euphemism for socialism.” Again, “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served. And as president, we’ll insure that economic justice is served. That’s what this election is about.” NAACP speech (And that’s what this essay is all about. LW)
As I was studying progressive philosophy, much of which dealt with Vladimir Lenin, I was at the same time observing what Barak Obama was saying on the same subjects. The more I listened and read, the more I became aware that Lenin and Obama were saying the same things. It was as if they were both following the same leader and reading the same book. Then, a light came on! They were following the same leader and reading the same book—Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto. One strong similarity between Lenin and Obama is that they both called for change. When this became clear in my mind, I decided to title my essay “Progressive Change,” and hurried to my computer to begin writing. The first thing I did was search for “Change, Lenin and Obama,” on the web, perhaps I could find a few choice quotations. Can you imagine my surprise upon finding pages and pages of the very thing I had been planning to write about? I found a number of parallel quotations from these two men, which others had submitted to Google. I urge anyone who wants to read more about these two progressive men to enter “Change Lenin Obama” or “Quotations Lenin Obama” into Google, where you will find more than you will want to read. You must understand that Lenin was a strong Socialist, who became the leading Communist of his time by following Karl Marx and founding the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). Obama has revealed by his words and actions, that he is also a socialist. Most of us don’t want Marx and Lenin to change our Democracy into a Socialist State; nor should we allow Obama to do so.
Thousands of books, political magazines, TV personalities and citizens who understand what is happening are shouting warnings from the house tops. But is anyone listening? Are you? We are in the identical position of the Jews when the prophets warned them of destruction. Or like Rome that disintegrated from within. Perhaps our best modern example is Germany when Hitler imposed national socialist upon it. In each of these cases the masses lost their freedom and their lives, simply because they followed a deceptive leader. Don’t we have the same kind of leader? And aren’t we also following him?
Lenin and Obama are both socialists, saying the same things and working for the same goal – universal socialism. I intended listing a page of their quotations but I found them so numerous that I suggest you go to the web for them. I’m not listing any specific web address because there are so many of them on the web that make my point. For example Lenin said, “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debunk the currency.” And he advocated government ownership of the means of production, which would destroy private enterprise. Wouldn’t you say that the devaluation of the dollar, the take over of the banks, gaining controlling interest in motor companies and government controlled health care are the very things Lenin advocated? And our people are shouting praises for Obama as he leads us down the Lenin path. If communist Lenin was red, socialist Obama is certainly pink. And pink socialism is red when it ripens.
On another matter Lenin said, “The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.” Obama has constantly spoken of being a “community organizer in Chicago.” Please go to the web, as I suggested above, and read more on the Lenin-Obama comparison; you will find many Obama quotations such as the following:
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully: The more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos and the Marxist professors.” “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you will join me as we try to change it.” (If it is the greatest nation in the history of the world, being a Capitalist Republic, why would we want to change it into a socialist nation run by the government? We must change the president, not the nation. LW)
Note: There has always been “progressives,” using various titles; the most deceptive of recent time has been “Liberation Theology.” For this reason, I plan to start a series of essays on this subject very soon. Nothing has been more destructive than this unbiblical Marxist philosophy, which began in Latin America and in 1968 was declared by the bishops to be, “The preferred option for the poor.” Now it is the preferred option for governments, universities, churches and peoples of the world.
Barak bama said, "Change! Change! Change we need! Change we can believe in! We will “spread the wealth around and everyone will prosper. Yes we can!" This is Obama’s Socialism, which, if not corrected, will change the United States of America into the United Socialist Sates of America (USSA). We heard him say, “We must change America.” "We are only five days away from transforming America.”
Obama is following Lenin, who said, “Change is predetermined and progress is inherent in change.”
The purpose of this essay is to show that the Progressive Socialist’s mindset extends from Karl Marx through Vladimir Lenin and on to include Barak Obama.
Socialism:
A political theory advocating state ownership of industry
An economic system based on state ownership of capital
A political/ economical transition from Capitalism to Communism
Economic Justice:
Since it seems unfair for some to be rich while others are poor, the progressive have coined the phrase, “Economic justice,” which means “leveling the playing field” by taking from those who have and giving it to those who have not. In Obama’s own words, “Economic justice simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s an euphemism for socialism.” Again, “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served. And as president, we’ll insure that economic justice is served. That’s what this election is about.” NAACP speech (And that’s what this essay is all about. LW)
As I was studying progressive philosophy, much of which dealt with Vladimir Lenin, I was at the same time observing what Barak Obama was saying on the same subjects. The more I listened and read, the more I became aware that Lenin and Obama were saying the same things. It was as if they were both following the same leader and reading the same book. Then, a light came on! They were following the same leader and reading the same book—Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto. One strong similarity between Lenin and Obama is that they both called for change. When this became clear in my mind, I decided to title my essay “Progressive Change,” and hurried to my computer to begin writing. The first thing I did was search for “Change, Lenin and Obama,” on the web, perhaps I could find a few choice quotations. Can you imagine my surprise upon finding pages and pages of the very thing I had been planning to write about? I found a number of parallel quotations from these two men, which others had submitted to Google. I urge anyone who wants to read more about these two progressive men to enter “Change Lenin Obama” or “Quotations Lenin Obama” into Google, where you will find more than you will want to read. You must understand that Lenin was a strong Socialist, who became the leading Communist of his time by following Karl Marx and founding the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). Obama has revealed by his words and actions, that he is also a socialist. Most of us don’t want Marx and Lenin to change our Democracy into a Socialist State; nor should we allow Obama to do so.
Thousands of books, political magazines, TV personalities and citizens who understand what is happening are shouting warnings from the house tops. But is anyone listening? Are you? We are in the identical position of the Jews when the prophets warned them of destruction. Or like Rome that disintegrated from within. Perhaps our best modern example is Germany when Hitler imposed national socialist upon it. In each of these cases the masses lost their freedom and their lives, simply because they followed a deceptive leader. Don’t we have the same kind of leader? And aren’t we also following him?
Lenin and Obama are both socialists, saying the same things and working for the same goal – universal socialism. I intended listing a page of their quotations but I found them so numerous that I suggest you go to the web for them. I’m not listing any specific web address because there are so many of them on the web that make my point.
