RINOs and the Left Side of Religion

Only a handful of groups are cognizant of the “big question”. We’ve come to expect deception among politicians and political parties. You may be shocked to learn the following subtleties on the Left Side of Religion. This article alone will serve as a great test. There will be two responses. One will come with an affirmative conviction. The other will flow with disdain and mockery.


The segregation of the Republican Party is at hand. The issue began to boil, when Senator John McCain suddenly leaped to the fore during the Republican Primary of 2008. Now the question is steaming up the glasses of those involved in the 82nd Texas Legislature (2011). Shall thou RINO lead thy Conservative State? Don’t get ahead of me. That’s not the “big question”. The big question is larger than Texas’ Speaker of the House.


Within the GOP there are now three major sects. The latest rising star is the Liberty Caucus. This is the Ron Paul crowd who recently infiltrated the Republican Party with an aim of greatly reducing the role of government, thereby increasing individual liberty. There also remain the T-Total Conservatives, and the ever subtle RINOs. The RINO’s tend to support conservative fiscal/economic policies, but are much more liberal when it comes to tradition family values and the role of government. RINOs vote like Democratic Conservatives; they are Republican In Name Only. T-Total Conservatives are commonly known as Social Conservatives. This group embraces conservative values in all areas of policy, namely economics, social, and education policy. Tea Party attendees tend to be a combination of the Liberty Caucus and T-Total Conservatives. You won’t find many RINO’s at a Tea Party. Social Conservatives and Liberty Caucus folks align in the Tea Party movement, because they both understand that individual liberty necessitates individual responsibility.


Individual Liberty necessitates Individual Responsibility.


Now let’s connect the Left Side of Religion. Today’s religious landscape also holds a left side and a right side. Within Christianity there are left and right denominations; some liberal, others conservative. We can see this trend within certain denominations that you might think are the same. The American Baptists are far more liberal than Southern Baptists. Southern Baptists are among the most conservative folks in America. The liberal and conservative delineation applies to theology and policy viewpoints. A “living document” view of the Bible generally goes along with a living document view of the Constitution. The living document view places emphasis on contemporary cultural interpretation, rather than historical contextual interpretation.


You may be surprised to know that even Judaism has a Left Side. It is called Reform Judaism. They are far from Orthodox Judaism. This group constitutes the majority of the American Jewish population[i]. They esteem “Enlightenment” over “Revelation”, and refer to Orthodox Jews as “God-fearers” as if it were some sort of disease[ii]. The Reform Jew is much like a liberal Christian; Jesus is just a good ethical role model, and the Scriptures are just a launching point – more books written by men.


“The Movement for Reform Judaism does not consider this text to constitute the definitive answer on this subject. We believe that Judaism is a living, evolving faith and, as such, there is no 'final word' on Jewish texts, traditions and thought.”[iii]


A Reform Jew is a Progressive Jew; part of the World Union for Progressive Judaism.[iv] An American Baptist is just one of many Progressive Christian denominations in the United States. Methodist, Episcopalian and Presbyterians Churches exemplify Liberal Theology and Progressive Policy viewpoints. The Progressive Agenda is rooted in Humanism[v]. Moderate and Liberal Christians and Jews have bought into the Secular Progressive Agenda. These compassionate hopers in God vainly attempt using government programs to rescue irresponsible citizens from Natural Law. However pure their motive, the results are ineffective and their natural ally is the Secular Progressive movement. These groups deny God’s Rule over mankind by inventing ever changing moral standards, which are no match for Natural Law. The moral relativism of Secularist and the Left Side of Religion is whimsical and detrimental to our historical American Culture.


The Liberty Caucus and T-Total Conservatives understand that man cannot outwit the consequences of Natural Law. If you desire freedom and liberty, you must accept the consequences of your actions. Liberty and freedom involve doing what is right and responsible, not whatever you want. It is irresponsible of government to encourage irresponsible social conduct on one hand, while also attempting to fund a social recovery program on the other hand. Such a model is unsustainable. If a man desires the freedom to live in ways that are contrary to Natural Law, then he must bear the responsibility of his actions, and find help outside of government through a compassionate friend, family member, or local agency. It is highly irresponsible for government to underwrite poor choices with taxpayer dollars.


Here lies the subtlety. While Atheist and Agnostics are transparent with their views on God, the Humanistic ways on the Left Side of Religion are hidden behind religious ideals. Reform Judaism is centered on man, society, culture and community more so than the Laws of Nature’s God. Liberal Religion (Christian or Jewish) translates into Liberal Policy views, such as Social Justice, which may be found among RINOs and the DNC in differing portions.


“Is Natural Law the basis for American Law?”


That is the big question. If you’re nodding yes, now is the time to stand firm in your convictions. Do not waver. Do not give up. You were created for such a time as this. If you are shaking your head in mockery and disbelief, I sincerely pray you’ll consider the price tag of perpetuating human standards in the face of the Almighty, not only in dollars in cents, but the cost of lives destroyed by fighting against Nature’s God. Perpetuating moral relativism is more destructive and futile than fighting the affects of gravity.


May we only seek ... “the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle [us]” – Declaration of Independence, 1776

The Sidelines of Life

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

As a Minister of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, I call on you this day to stand against immorality persisting in our land.

Since 1972, many of us have stood on the sidelines of the political field silently tolerating widespread disregard for human life. Seventy-seven thousand (77,811) unborn babies were terminated in Texas in the year 2007. Four-hundred seven thousand (407,453) Texas babies were born that year. That means sixteen percent (16%) of Texas babies were aborted in 2007.

It is past time to get serious about reducing this awful trend in our land.

It is our duty to elect God-fearing leaders. Many candidates today have little regard for the truth, much less the life of a poor unborn child. I know a candidate that is different … Dr. Donna Campbell.

Dr. Donna is running against Lloyd Doggett in Texas Congressional District Twenty-Five (Texas CD-25).

Congressman Doggett has consistently voted for policies and programs that allow wide-spread abortions to continue. Dr. Donna adopted her daughter, and has a great passion for life. She is an emergency room doctor that fully knows and fully appreciates the value of every life.

Please vote for LIFE! Vote for Dr. Donna Campbell, and spread the word about your passion for the life of the unborn. Vote for God-fearing candidates, donate to those that support life, talk about it, and … don’t be caught on the sidelines!

Austin City Council Draws Your Attention with 1972 Agenda

The City of Austin is holding their Council Meeting at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center this Thursday in an effort to make the meeting more accessible.

I think agenda item #4 will motivate you to pay them a visit ...

Authorize the negotiation and execution of a ten (10) year lease renewal with one (1) option to extend for an additional ten (10) years with PLANNED PARENTHOOD, INC, for the use of a City-owned .35 acre tract of land improved with a 3,720 square foot free standing building located at 1823 E. 7th Street, for the purpose of operating a family planning clinic. The lease revenue is $1 annually.
Yes, you read that right. Since 1972, the City has leased a building at the corner of 7th & Chicon to Planned Parenthood (PP). The rate is $1/year. The building dates from 1940 and maintenance is paid by PP.

In addition to the $1 annual rate for PP, they pay $400 per fetus for "termination services". The City does this to save our society from the cost of un-wanted poor children. They do it with your tax dollars, and also demand that "caution signs" be placed on "non-terminal" family planning service providers. If you don't provide "comprehensive family planning", then the public must be warned about you. Are you catching on to the trend?

Friend, please pay the Austin City Council a visit this Thursday.

Rush Limbaugh Thanks God for Obama failures and MA win

“Not that God had anything to do with it.”

Question: Does God have anything to do with Obama’s success or failure?
Watch Rush Limbaugh on Fox & Friends (interviewed over weekend of 1/30/10)
State of Obama Interview starts at 4:30 >>

“The fact that [Obama’s] agenda has totally failed this year is the best thing that could have happened to this country. I thank God every day; that this thing is going down the tubes; that the Massachusetts election happened; not that God had anything to do with it. That's the person I thank.”

2009 NFL Seanson Highest Viewed in 20 years

Question: Did the slow economy cause an increase in NFL viewership?

Question: Who is your Super Bowl Pick?

This writer is pulling for the New Orleans Saints to Win Super Bowl XLIV. First, there is the Austin connection. Drew Brees is a graduate of West Lake High School. The city of Austin in general is rooting for him. Second, this game is about more than the team or any one star player. It is about the city of New Orleans. The Saints are playing for their city. Their victory is a victory for a city in recovery. Third, and most importantly, the Saints are a balanced team. They have many great players on both sides of the ball. While Bush and Brees certainly stand out, they do not detract from the remainder of the team. We could also talk about Coach Payton, stats, etc …
Suffice it to say, Austin, Texas is generally rooting for the Saints. I’ll take this one chance at joining the “keep Austin weird” crowd.
