Lindsay Graham likes "Rahmbo?" That is big red-alert to me!

"Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a top John McCain supporter, praised Emanuel as a 'wise choice.' Rahm knows Capitol Hill and has great political skills. He can be a tough partisan but also understands the need to work together. He is well-suited for the position of White House chief of staff,"
Good night, Graham! Why do you see the need to continually expose your love of liberals????

The Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright just can't let America be America. With a typical "blaming" attitude, his hating of this country goes so far that he can't let things go...even after his guy won.
You are exposed, sir, for the hater, race baiter, and charlatan that you are. So don't blame someone else becaue they had the courage to expose your evil and lies.

An Obama Victory: The Aftermath!
Don't hate...it doesn't do anyone any good. BUT, you can certainly laugh!

Congratulations Mr. President-elect!
Congratulations Mr. President-elect!
I am, of course, reluctant to accept that someone so different in political ideology from me has been elected to the highest post in the world.
However, as much as I decry an Obama presidency, I also celebrate this great nation. The people voted, the populace chose, the constitutionality of the Electoral College (even though not expedited yet), will be fulfilled. And a new leader of the free world, commander-in-chief, high executive has been called to service in the most peaceful transfer of governance of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
What’s more is that it IS an incredible testimony that an American of African ancestry has been elected… popularly and constitutionally.
And now that an African American has been chosen as the president-elect, there is no excuse for ANYONE of ANY race not to strive for the best this nation has to offer. There can be no circumstance preventing the pursuit, and not the gift, of happiness.
That holds value to me as a patriot.
So congratulations, Mr. President-elect!
However…
I still do not trust that he will not lead us into a path towards socialism and that is unacceptable.
I still believe that he will fulfill every radical promise he made as that far left guy campaigning during the primaries.
I still believe that he doesn’t truly grasp the accountability and responsibility that he has been chosen to undertake.
So congratulations, Mr. President-elect!
Now to my fellow conservatives and conservative wannabees:
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We failed to prevent a moderate candidate from gaining the nomination. We failed by letting moderates and liberals hijack the Republican Party. We failed by letting pop culture rule our society instead of truth. We failed by getting caught up in the hype of an obligatory candidate who really didn’t deserve it. We failed by letting the press and the GOP dictate to us who our candidate would be.
We failed conservatism and by doing that we have failed our country.
There are some of you who have said that it took a Jimmy Carter to get a Ronald Reagan. And even though the merits of that statement are reassuring to us in the hopes for the future, they mean nothing without conservatives willing to stand up and take action for that future. And they mean nothing if there isn’t anything left of this nation for a true conservative in the mold of Reagan to be nominated.
Conservatives have got to back up conservative words WITH conservative actions. Conservatives have got to vet, choose, nominate and elect conservatives to public office AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE CONSERVATIVE IDEALS AND VALUES for which they were elected.
The election this year started something WE have got to continue. AND GOOD RIDDANCE! Conservatives have got to vote out those RINOs and ConWans who are compromising our nation by trying to appease all people.
If we want someone in the mold of Ronald Reagan, we have to work hard to show that conservatism is in the nation’s best interest for all people.
We have to act like conservatives who are proud Americans. We have to work in and of ourselves to show our fellow Americans that personal responsibility and accountability ARE the pursuit of happiness.
Frankly, John McCain did not inspire that. Yes, he is known for reaching across the aisle. But that is the crime of conservatism compromised. McCain would compromise to the left. The thing that made Reagan a great president of unity was that the compromise involved him getting the other side to reach across the aisle to work with him.
McCain chose to play it safe in the hopes of reaching independents. He took the conservative vote for granted before and after Sarah Palin was chosen as his veep pick.
And no, Sarah Palin shoulders no blame for this loss. Although, I am sure she would certainly hold herself accountable. But she was what brought conservative back into the GOP campaign. She is not perfect, folks, and there were so many that held her to an even higher standard than perfection. When she had a minor blemish, it was portrayed as a gaping and festering wound. Palin is an everyday American woman who was thrust into the national spotlight. Her political rise is one that can be compared to John Adams or Harry Truman. In my humble opinion, that is good company!
So congratulations, Mr. President-elect! You are what the American people wanted. We’ll see how long that lasts. I will pray for you when I pray for this country. And one of my prayers will be that God preserve this nation in spite of your presidency.

I still believe in this country
Nope. I am not thrilled about the results. And I still believe that this country has sung its swan song. And I thank the following states:
Virginiarack
Ohiobama
Floridarack
Coloradobama
Nevadarack
I don't "The Great Experiment" has now failed. But 232 years of fighting for liberty and freedom has taken a serious blow!

What's in a name? God knows.
We learned something incredible in Sunday School, and even with all of the election stuff going on, I haven’t been able to drop this. So I thought I’d put it down.
Let me start of by stating that I take no credit for any of this information. I honestly can’t give sources as they weren’t given to our class on Sunday.
My only prayer is that I am doing honor and giving glory to God in this presentation and that it be only as accurate as God directs me to impart.
Apparently, there are a ton of people I owe a big apology to. I cannot stand for anyone to say GD or JC without thought to the Creator of the Universe, or to use the name of that Creator as a curse word. I still believe it brings dishonor and displeasure to the LORD when we misuse those names. HOWEVER, my animosity towards this practice no longer comes from one of the Ten Commandments.
Nope, I am not disregarding one of God’s laws. However, there is a new understanding of what the Third Commandment actually means.
Exodus 20:7 is very familiar to us:
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” KJV
One of those “thou shalts” that even has a “taketh.” Okay, let’s look at another translation.
“You shall not use or repeat the name of the LORD your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” AMP
This is a little better and even has that part about profanity, but let’s look at a more apropos translation.
"You must not use the name of the LORD your God thoughtlessly; the LORD will punish anyone who misuses his name.” NCV
Don’t use it thoughtlessly.
But use what thoughtlessly? God is a title after all and not a name. Did you notice that the word “lord” was in caps in each passage?
It’s the NAME of the LORD that is important here. We are supposed to pray in the “Name of the Lord.” But what is the actual name of the Lord?
When Moses meets God at the burning bush, the question of God’s name comes up:
“Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.” Exodus 3:13-15 ESV
This is one of the first verse in which the name of God was first mentioned. Translations include Elohim, Eloi, Jehovah, Adonai, and of course “Yahweh.”
Whenever the word ‘lord” is capitalized, it was usually substituted from the original Hebrew symbols for YHWH (of course, Hebrew is written backwards from English). Eventually the Greek translation added vowels and the pronunciation became YAH-weh. This is where the thoughtless use of the name comes into practice. I mean this by stating that the Greek letters we see as consonants were translated from Hebrew vowels.
Therefore, the sacred name of our LORD should be pronounced “Ya-HOO-eh” but with a very throaty sound, letting it flow as a breath. Most scholars say that there really wasn’t a true pronunciation of YHWH and that when God spake, it came out to Moses as a breath. The name of the Lord is pronounced by breathing. Every time we breathe, we are pronouncing His name. That means that every one in the world, Christian, Jew or other has heard the name of the Lord. A newborn is spanked to breath, pronouncing His name. And we all will have our last breath, pronouncing His name.
“So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” – John 20:21-22 NKJV
But going back to Genesis, let’s look at what God did when He created man:
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” - Genesis 2:7 NKJV
The Lord spoke His name when He gave man life.
Furthermore, let’s go back just a little further in Genesis:
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him” – Genesis 1:27 NKJV
When you place the original Hebrew letters from top to bottom…
The Name of the Lord is the image of a man. And since we were made in His own image…
Every breath we take speaks His name and every thing we do is seen as His name.
Thank God for His Son, Jesus!
If it weren’t for our Savior, whose name is above all names, my thoughts, words and deeds would send me to hell.

It really is getting down to CHANGE!
In a previous post, I quoted Patrick Henry, who said:
“[I]t is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.”
That quote is inspired by a bible verse: Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but see not, who have ears, but hear not. – Jeremiah 5:21 (ESV)
Now the siren’s scream is being muffled by the truth of change. Barack Obama just can’t seem to exclude “change” when it comes to his tax policy.
CHANGE!
$250,000
CHANGE!
$200,000
CHANGE!
$150,000
CHANGE!
$120,000
CHANGE!
$50,000 - $60,000 - $70,000
CHANGE!
How low will he go?
CHANGE…POCKET CHANGE!!!
CHANGE!
Will he change on abortion to 3-5 years? Will he change on military spending cuts to a buck a day? Will he change on gun control to jail anyone who owns a gun?
I just can’t take this so called “Change we need” anymore.
