Know Your Constitution and You Won't Be Fooled!

Have you ever felt like you should know your country's constitution better? Most of us know some of it, little parts here and there, but very few really understand it fully. If we don't know our constitution, then we really don't know if a politician may be suggesting ideas, or even a law that may fly right in the face of it! Would you really recognize socialist, communist, or fascist propaganda, if you heard it? (There's quite a lot of it being bandied about these days.) If we don't know our constitution - and our Bill of Rights, for that matter, then we are at a terrible disadvantage. We live in an age when there are many ideologies out there being espoused, and all are vying for our loyalties. Many may sound good, but are they really? Remember, even the beastly German dictator, Hitler, made MANY PROMISES to the people of Germany. They loved him in the beginning. We mustn't forget John Kennedy's famous line: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!" We've come a long way, in a very few short years. 

Hillsdale College is offering a FREE 10 week online course on the Constitution!  Hillsdale is an Independent, coeducational, residential liberal arts College. Originally, to learn more about it and to register, you needed to go to: constitution.hillsdale.edu by FRIDAY April 27th. HOWEVER, it was announced that there were SO many people who wanted to register, that they extended the registration.  The class began on Monday May 7th, but all the class materials stay available online so that we can listen to the lectures, etc. at times that work best for us throughout the week! If you'd like to register, you've only missed one, so go ahead and see if you can get in, the more the merrier! This is a course similar to one that is required of all Hillsdale College undergraduates...and it's being made available FREE for me and you!  We are living in an election year that is being considered the most important in our lifetime!  We all need to unite around our constitution, learn it, live it, and love it. It is only then, that we will be able to recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing and we will stand a chance of ever becoming THE UNITED STATES, once more.

You can call them at: 1-517-437-7341 or send questions to: constitution@hillsdale.com but don't delay, in order to catch up! 

Those at Hillsdale decided to run this online course, and offer it for free because they love our country and because so many just don't know our constitution. (There is also an opportunity to make a donations for those who would like to and who are able.) They want the American people to fully understand just what our elected officials put their hands on the Bible and swear to uphold! I remember as a young person, hearing about enemies of the United States who had vowed to take over the country without shooting even one shot! Do you remember hearing that? They obviously planned on taking us over from within, in a 'progressive' way...little by little. Sort of like that frog being put into water, and heating it up, slowly, so that he won't jump out. Soon, though...he finds himself COOKED in frog stew!

ImJusSayin' it sure seems to me that they'll have an easier chance of it, if we can't tell the difference between true statesmen and (another way of putting it) those who would go about laying out 'socialist traps' with goodies in them...that will eventually snap shut on our necks! Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts and if you decide to register!

Trayvon and Zimmerman Story Still Unfolding

Wednesday night, while watching Bill O'Reilly, I heard him mention something that I had touched on in my last blog. Basically, that neither of these men knew a thing about the other. Zimmerman didn't know that Trayvon's father was visiting someone who lived in the neighborhood at the time, and as Bill said, Trayvon didn't know that Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch captain. Both of them didn't have a clue about the other. I think that it is clear that because Zimmerman didn't recognize Trayvon as someone who lived in the neighborhood, he was naturally suspicious of him, due to the recent breaking and entering situations in the community, and because he thought his behavior was not ordinary. (There is no evidence as of yet, that Trayvon was involved in the B&E's, or even aided others.)  Because Trayvon saw George (a man he did not know,) following him, he too became anxious.  Sean Hannity had George's dad on his show, and he was interviewed. They again played the tape of George having called the police. I don't personally think that he sounded hateful, angry or out of control enough, to have chased Trayvon down, and just killed him "in cold blood," (as some have characterized the event.) Mr. Zimmerman said that George told him that when the two became face to face, Trayvon said, "You got a problem?" and that George said, "No, I don't have a problem." Soon after a fight ensued, and there was a witness who said they saw Trayvon on top of George. An awful tragedy clearly followed, but I can't say that I see a story of racism here? Who can ever know what is in the heart of a man? I find it very bothersome that SO many, including many political figures have fully decided that they KNOW beyond the shadow of a doubt that George was a racist! There doesn't seem to be any proof of this as we learn more about George's life before this fateful event. My heart goes out to the family of young Trayvon. I challenge all involved to step back, take a deep breathe, and pray for the truth to be revealed. God will help all, but it may end up that being angry and deeply hurt about all that has happened is appropriate...but insisting that racism brought it all to pass, just may not be. Would those who put out the bounty for George still feel justified if he wasn't a racist after all? I am praying for those who are investigating this, and for all who are finding themselves overwhelmed with anger about it. I am asking for the peace of God to be with all, but also that the Lord will convict anyone who may justify racism in their own hearts. ImJusSayin...no race is immune to this sin...and the fruit of it can never bring anything that is good or just.
