Sarah Palin: "The Sugar Daddy Has Run Out Of Sugar"

Sarah Palin, as usual, was very direct this past Saturday in a column she wrote on Facebook.

Saying the "Sugar daddy has run out of sugar," Sarah Palin said Saturday, "Barack Obama’s big government policies continue to fail. He should put a link to the national debt clock on his BlackBerry. The gears on that clock have nearly exploded during his administration. Yesterday’s terrible job numbers should not be a surprise because it all goes back to our debt. Our dangerously unsustainable debt is wiping out our jobs, crippling our economic growth, and jeopardizing our position in the global economy as the leader of the free world."

I seriously doubt that the President will put a debt clock on his BlackBerry and would most likely prefer you not even see the debt clock, much less carry it around in your pocket or purse.

I have linked it below.

She also said, "Most of us don’t see a lot of real leadership in D.C., and it’s profoundly disappointing."

She continued, "But let me tell you where real hope lies. It’s not the hopey-changey stuff we heard about in 2008. Real hope comes from realizing how God has blessed our exceptional nation, and then doing something about it. We have been blessed with natural resources, hardworking entrepreneurs, and a Constitution that preserves the greatest form of government ever devised by man. If we develop those natural resources, allow our entrepreneurs to keep and invest more of what they earn, and adhere to the time-tested truths of our Constitution, we will prosper and endure."

And concluded: "But first and foremost we must tackle our debt. We don’t have the luxury of playing politics as usual. We need real leaders who will put aside their own political self-interest to do what is right for the nation. And if they don’t emerge… well, America has a do-over in November 2012."

I strongly recommend you read the entire column. I also strongly recommend you take a look at the debt clock. These are real numbers in real time.

I have linked Palin's entire column here.

I have linked the national debt clock here. Please sit down and take a deep breath before you click. Note that you may put your cursor on any of the numbers and a brief explanation will be shown.

A Thousand Words in a Single Picture

It has been said a picture is worth a 1000 words. Rather than words, I'm publishing a set of 2 pictures today that will speak at least 2000 words.

Have a great Friday and weekend.

Support Traditional Marriage? "You're Dead"

Bob Unruh, at World Net Daily, published an article this past weekend regarding the upcoming trial on whether the names of petition signers on R-71 should be made public.

In it he quotes our lead attorney James Bopp, Jr., "What is becoming increasingly evident," said James Bopp of the James Madison Center, "is that some groups and individuals, certainly a minority, have resorted to advancing their cause, not by debating the merits of the issue but by discouraging participation in the democratic process itself."

Quoting Bopp and his filing on our behalf he writes, "In an obvious attempt to dissuade people from signing the … petition, two homosexual advocacy groups – Massachusetts-based KnowThyNeighbor.org and Washington-based WhoSigned.org – announced their intentions to obtain the identities of every person who signed the petition; to publicly expose the persons on their respective web sites; and to make their web sites 'accessible and searchable."

"Dave Ammons, communications director for Defendant Sam Reed, posted a blog entry on the Secretary of State's web site explaining that the alleged reason for wanting to publicly expose … petition signers was to get 'voters to think twice about signing' … and to allow opponents to 'be able to talk with their neighbors and townspeople who signed to explain the ramifications.'"

Homosexual promoters have stated publicly they want to post the personal contact information on the Internet so that activists can find them for "uncomfortable conversations."

I strongly suggest you read the article. There is a list of threats that Mr. Bopp has entered into the record. They are listed in the article. I have linked it below.

This is the link to Unruh's article.

Secretary of State Sam Reed and Attorney General Rob McKenna are very focused on releasing these 138,000 names to homosexual activists, even though on 2 separate occasions the names of petition signers in Washington State have been sealed for their protection. One such act was to protect homosexual activists.

Be Very Vigilant. Be Very Discerning. Be Very Prayerful.

"I Was Wrong About Same-Sex Marriage"

"I was a strong opponent of same-sex marriage. Fourteen years ago Andrew Sullivan and I forcefully debated the issue...Yet, I find myself strongly untroubled by New York state's vote to authorize same-sex marriage---a vote that probably signals that most 'blue' states will follow within the next ten years."

"Why?"

"The short answer is that the case against same-sex marriage has been tested against reality. The case has not passed its test."
------David Frum, in his apology column for CNN last week.

He concluded, "If people like me would have been right, we should have seen the American family become radically more unstable over the subsequent decade and a half."

But facts are not on his side.

First, where and when has homosexual "marriage" been "tested"? Homosexual "marriage" has not been tested nationwide.

Six state governments---6 out of 50, now sanction homosexual "marriage." That is hardly a national testing.

Of the 6 states; New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and New Hampshire, and in 2, maybe more, there is significant opposition organizing against the law and the legislature that passed it.

Frum's talking points are the same ones I have heard a hundred times.

I have told KIRO Radio's Dave Ross several times in live interviews in Seattle that gay marriage won't directly affect my personal marriage, today. However, the redefinition of marriage contributes to the general decline of natural marriage, by promoting, through entitlements and benefits, people living together under virtually any circumstance.

Frum's column was telling. And he missed the point completely when he wrote, "By coincidence, I am writing these words on the morning of my own 23rd wedding anniversary. Of all the blessings life has to offer, none equals a happy marriage."

That's the point, Mr. Frum. That's why redefining it is a very bad idea.

That's why the Bible instructs us to "honor" marriage, referring to natural marriage between a man and a woman.

I know of no one who is suggesting that homosexual "marriage" today will destroy natural marriage tomorrow. It's a symbol of a broader devaluation of natural marriage that is of concern. And of the moral decline it promotes.

The same people who advocate for homosexual "marriage," also advocate for domestic partnerships, civil unions, etc, all of which honor and reward those who live outside marriage.

In a morality based culture, that is considered immoral. And the government rewards the immoral behavior.

Since homosexual "marriage" was legalized in the Netherlands, the number of marriages has declined. It's down 10% since 1999, while registered partnerships have increased 500% according to William C. Duncan at the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy.

Duncan found 9 in 10 couples live together before marrying and 2/3 of co-habitating couples "plan to marry" but keep postponing the marriage.

And the arguments for homosexual "marriage" are the same today as they were 14 years ago when Frum opposed it, except....

Homosexuality has evolved from an act-sodomy; to a behavior-homosexuality; to an identity-gay, while the advocates have their" conversation " with the public declaring that theirs is a biologically driven behavior, therefore they are not responsible and it is not a choice.

The social battering ram is their identifying with the civil rights struggles of African Americans.

Gay is not Black. Sexual behavior is not the same as race. But people are led to believe it is in the name of gay advocacy.

Frum is a result of the deception. And so are many of our kids in the classroom.

Chuck Donovan, with the Heritage Foundation, gives 5 key impacts of the New York Marriage decision.

They are:

1. The vote confirms an adverse trend for marriage law in New York.

2. The policy change emanates from the legislature and is reversible by the legislature.

3. Religious liberty is suffering a death of a thousand cuts and the collision of religious/moral conscience and non-discrimination laws still looms.

4. Redefinition of the family is the clear goal of same-sex activists.

5. Marriage is a mega issue and merits a full scale national debate in 2012.

I have linked his column above. I am joining others in asking for a national debate and a national vote on marriage.

I will update you.

Thank you for your support.

Sunrise-Sunset Over Washington DC

As you celebrate our country and our freedoms this weekend, here's a thought as to why we have been blessed as a nation.

It's interesting that in DC, the first and last rays of sunlight each day fall on the Washington Monument--the tallest structure in the area, at 555 feet tall.

On the peak of the Monument, inscribed on the four-sided aluminum capstone are the Latin words, Laus Deo, "Praise Be To God."

Join our Founders, in an expression of praise to God for His blessings and favor on what has become the most free, blessed nation in the history of the world.

May God bless America. And may America bless God.
