I received these photos and this story from a friend, recently. The images and the story are so poignant and so hilarious, they simply must be shared. Pray this comes true.
One sunny day in January, 2013, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away. The following day the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and again just walked away. The third day the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "I love saying it! See you tomorrow, Sir."
The following video documentaries, 2016 Obama's America, and The Obama Deception, illustrate the fact that there is a much bigger problem than just one president and two seemingly opposed political parties. The astonishing truth is that the Republicans and the Democrats, in the broadest sense, are nothing more than two arms wielded by the same body of secret societies and secret combinations.
These secret organizations of the world's elites invoke the same secret oaths of darkness and the same diabolical practices about which we have been warned prophetically throughout history. We have refused to hearken. Our slothfulness is coming back to bite us.
We have the opportunity to begin a major course correction by electing Mitt Romney in November, 2012. If we fail to do so, we will plunge ourselves irreparably into the quagmire that Obama has exacerbated.
Notice I did not say conservatives and liberals are appendages of the secret workers of darkness. I said Republicans and Democrats are such appendages. There is an eternal and distinct difference between the two pairs.
One pair merely pretends to be in opposition while in the public eye. The other pair is and always has been at odds. That pair is inherently polarized, and there is no neutral ground. It's Good vs. Evil. If you want to trace this colossal conspiracy to its deepest roots, read the article titled Lucifer's Plan and the Liberal Leftist Agenda, Seeds of Apostasy and Treason.
Please join the Florida Family Association (FFA) in their efforts to protect and preserve the virtue and innocence of our children from the rampant deluge of homosexual perversion that is sweeping our country and the world. No one is born a homosexual. It is a learned behavior and a choice. There is no excuse for it.
To indoctrinate children and teens to believe homosexual behavior is normal and acceptable, or that they are born that way, is an insidious form of child abuse. It may breed more repeated molestations than any other type of child abuse.
I signed up to send the following message from FFA to Office Depot, stating I will not patronize Office Depot as long as they are participating in Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation. I urge you to do the same.
Email sent to Office Depot, 23 August 2012.
I will patronize other office supply stores until Office Depot stops their misguided donations to the Born this Way foundation.
Sociological studies report that a very large number of male teens and older boys are introduced to the homosexual lifestyle by aggressive homosexual adults.
The Family Research Institute reported in February 2009 this summary conclusion: About a third of the reports of molestation by the populace have involved homosexuality. Likewise, between a fifth and a third of those who have been caught and/or convicted practiced homosexuality. Finally, a fifth to a third of surveyed gays admitted to child molestation. All-in-all, a rather consistent story.
The Family Research Council reports that although homosexuals make up approximately 1.5% of the population homosexual acts account for as much as 33% of the molestations.
Judith Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education in suburban Louisville, Ky points to figures from a 1991 population study by the U.S. Department of Commerce. It showed that 8 million girls were abused by age 18 by heterosexual men, a ratio of 1 victim to 11 adult men. However, 6-8 million boys were abused by age 18 by 1-2 million adult homosexuals, a ratio of 3-5 victims for every gay adult.
All of these studies indicate that homosexual males target adolescent males at a rate that is disproportional to the population by 2200% (1.5% of the population which is homosexual accounts for 33% of homosexual abuse cases.)
Lady Gaga’s Born this Way campaign is misguided.
The one million dollar pledge from Office Depot to the Lady Gaga Born this Way Foundation will influence many teens to embrace homosexuality for their lifetime who may have otherwise worked through their crisis with straight results.
GovTeen Network’s Puberty101.com states: “It is normal for teens to experiment with same-sex friends, and does not necessarily mean that you’re gay. Most often, you’re not.” http://puberty101.com/boys/am-i-gay/ There is no scientific evidence that anyone is born this way (gay.) The American Psychiatric Association wrote the following information in a May 2002 article titled "Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Fact Sheet," published on its website Psych.org: "No one knows what causes heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality." http://borngay.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=1335 Thousands of kids who might have otherwise worked through their pubescent sexual identity issues will be inspired to accept the wrong choice based upon this unscientific, emotionally charged born this way propaganda.
What’s brave or kind about telling thousands of sexually frustrated teens that they were born this way when a high percentage of them would have ended up taking the straight heterosexual path for life?
I urge Office Depot to rescind their one million dollar pledge to Lady Gaga’s Born this Way Foundation.
I will be looking to support other businesses until Office Depot rules out future donations to Born this Way foundation.
The above video, titled Dishonorable Disclosures, was posted on YouTube August 15, 2012. The video is also featured on the www.ReaganCoalition.com website. The Dishonorable Disclosures documentary exposes Obama as a direct threat to national security. Ironic! Today's so called commander-in-chief is our biggest single point of failure.
The only indication that Obama understands the concept of operations security (opsec) is the great length and expense to which he goes to conceal his own history and citizenship records from public disclosure. He wants our intel to become transparent while his info remains opaque.
Obama has deliberately leaked highly sensitive and critical intelligence information in a political ploy to stop Israel from defending herself against Iran. Obama also takes credit for Navy Seal activities by pretending to identify with them. That borders on the sacrilegious and is at best a Luciferian display of loathsome arrogance and self aggrandizement.
Why has Obama not been removed by force? If a soldier divulges critical intel, that soldier is dealt with harshly and swiftly, possibly losing his career or his life.
Obama hands out intel like it's candy, yet he remains the most slippery bastard ever to disgrace our nation.
Reagan was affectionately called the Teflon President, because criticisms just seemed to slide off him, and he kept right on working for America. Reagan truly loved and served America, and we became a better nation because of it.
Obama, on the other hand, is just plain slimy. He has done nothing but harm America. And he does it on purpose. The first president in U.S. History to actually hate America.
President Ronald Reagan warned us about Obama in the first five minutes of a speech decades ago. Prophets have been warning us long before that. But, who's listening? Anyone? Anyone out there? Hello? Knock. Knock. Tick. Tock.
I don't know where this originated, but thank you to the person who composed this clever observation.
My only suggestion, as you read further, would be to substitute the word Conservative in place of Republican, and substitute the word Liberal in place of Democrat. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Republicans out there who are a not conservative.
This speaks more to the mindset than to the political party. Think about this. It is true.
You can't get any more accurate than this. This is straight forward country thinking. If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test.
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended."
There are two laws that concern all of us: the Law of Justice and the Law of Mercy. All of us are subject to the Law of Justice. The Law of Mercy can only be applied when we choose to have faith in Christ and His Atonement, keep the commandments of God, and endure to the end.
In scriptural terms, justice is the unchanging law that brings consequences for actions. Because of the law of justice, we receive blessings when we obey God's commandments. The law of justice also demands that a penalty be paid for every sin we commit (lds.org).
The Savior satisfied the demands of justice when He stood in our place and suffered the penalty for our sins. Because of this selfless act, the Father can mercifully withhold punishment from us and welcome us into His presence. To receive the Lord's forgiveness, we must sincerely repent of our sins. As the prophet Alma taught, “Justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved” (Alma 42:24; see also Alma 42:22-23, 25) (lds.org).
Speaking to His disciples, the Savior commanded: “Be ye . . . merciful, as your Father also is merciful” (Luke 6:36). We can follow our Heavenly Father's example of mercy in our relationships with others. We can strive to rid our life of arrogance, pride, and conceit. We can seek ways to be compassionate, respectful, forgiving, gentle, and patient, even when we are aware of others' shortcomings (lds.org).
40. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save ye shall have hope?
41. And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.
42. Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.
43. He cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
44. None is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly of heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, He must needs have charity;
45. And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
47. Charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever.
As children of God, we can become like our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Before we were born, we lived with our Heavenly Father as spirits. We did not have bodies of flesh and bone like we do now.
In the pre-mortal existence, Heavenly Father prepared a plan to enable us to become like him and receive a fullness of joy (Scripture Stories, 2008).
He counseled with us and taught us His plan. He prepared us to face the challenges of mortality. He gave us the ability to reason and to make our own decisions.
The scriptures and prophets refer to this plan as “the Plan of Salvation,” “the Great Plan of Happiness,” “the Plan of Redemption,” and “the Plan of Mercy (True to the Faith, 2004).”
This plan has five simple steps:
1. Have faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ
2. Repent
3. Obey the commandments of God
4. Receive the guidance of the Holy Ghost
5. Endure to the end
“22 Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the noble and great ones;
23 And God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of them, and he said: These I will make my rulers; for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were good; and he said unto me: Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast chosen before thou wast born.
24 And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;
25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;”
In our pre-mortal life, we knew that we would not be forced to follow God’s plan. We would have our agency and ability to choose to keep the commandments of God or to go another way.
Jesus was foreordained to be our perfect example He was chosen to show us how to be obedient, compassionate, and how to become like our father in Heaven.
Lucifer was also a child of God at one time. He knew, as we did, that if we were given the choice, there would be those who would choose not to follow the commandments of God, and would choose not to return to live with God again.
Lucifer thought of an idea that was different from God’s plan. He taught it to others. A third part of God’s children loved Lucifer’s idea more than God’s plan.
Lucifer grew to love himself more than he loved God. He thought his idea was better than God’s Plan.
For Lucifer’s idea to work, he thought he would need all of God’s power and glory.
Lucifer sought to glorify himself. He did not seek to glorify God. He coveted God’s power, not to bless others and help them to be happy, but to enslave them to his will by removing their agency and personal choice. He would not have compassion on the children of God (Isaiah 14:12-14).
Moses records that Lucifer went before God, saying: (Moses 4:1)
“Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
Jesus, who was already foreordained to be God’s Son and chosen to be the redeemer of the world, sought only to glorify His Father.”
“2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me — Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
Jesus loved Heavenly Father more than he loved himself. He sought to glorify God.”
“3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.”
Lucifer became Satan. He and those that followed him were cast out of heaven for rebellion. Even today they seek to deceive and blind us and to get us to indulge in addictive behaviors that would captivate us to his will.
But we are not without hope.
By the power of Jesus Christ, we can overcome the influences that fight against righteousness.
When we choose to have faith in Christ,
When we choose to repent,
When we choose to be obedient to the commandments of God,
When we choose to follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost,
And when we choose to endure to the end,
Our Heavenly father will bless us with mercy, redemption, happiness and salvation unto Eternal Life. That is His plan.
“39 For behold, this is my work and my glory — to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”
When we follow God’s plan, we develop Faith, Hope and Charity, which is the pure love of Christ.
And when we have developed these Christ-like attributes, we will find that we have become like Him.
We will receive a fullness of Joy and be free to live our lives with our families, and those we love and serve, in happiness forever.
Jesus said,
I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in Heaven is perfect (3 Nephi 12:48).
Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.
Behold, I have given unto you the commandments; therefore keep my commandments (3 Nephi 15:9-10).
We chose to follow God’s plan before we were born. Now that we are here on earth, we can renew that choice to follow God’s plan again.
Like the prophet Nephi, we can say:
[We] will go, and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for [we] know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. (1 Nephi 3:7)
"27 Therefore, whosoever will come may come and partake of the waters of life freely; and whosoever will not come the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds.
26 And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal purposes, which were prepared from the foundation of the world. And thus cometh about the salvation and the redemption of men, and also their destruction and misery."
Joy and happiness or destruction and misery will be the result of our choices, what we hope for, and where we place our faith, whether it be in God, or in another source.
I know Jesus Christ lives. He is the Son of God, our Heavenly Father. He has restored His gospel. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church. The Book of Mormon is truly another testament of Jesus Christ.
We have prophets and apostles who are called of God and help us to know and keep God’s commandments. We are promised that if we keep the commandments, we will prosper, and have peace and joy in our lives.
This is my testimony. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Obama Decree Guts Bipartisan Consensus By Gov. Bob McDonnell Richmond Times-Dispatch August 6, 2012
In 1996, President Bill Clinton worked with Republicans in Congress to reform our nation's costly and ineffective welfare programs. Upon signing the bipartisan bill into law, Clinton noted that the measure would "[restore] America's basic bargain of providing opportunity and demanding, in return, responsibility." And he was right. Most would agree that the measure has been a great success - except, apparently, President Barack Obama, whose administration last month took steps to remove one of its central requirements.
The Obama administration's recent decision was both unexpected and unexplainable, defying what we have learned from history and what we know about good government. Our nation was built on a commitment to the dignity and necessity of work. That commitment and its rewards have been passed down from generation to generation. And, in the 1990s, welfare reform ensured that value remained part of the laws governing our nation.
Building on successful state programs, like our groundbreaking legislation here in Virginia that I was honored to carry in the legislature as a delegate, Congress strengthened the welfare safety net by adding a requirement that individuals receiving financial support must also look for and find work. It's known as "welfare-to-work" for short. And while some were concerned that the measures in this reform were too tough, their doubts were soon erased.
Welfare caseloads that had remained unchanged for 40 years were quickly cut in half. The poverty rate among welfare recipients, especially children, plummeted. The percentage of single mothers with a job grew from 58 to 75 in less than a decade. Millions of Americans were moving off the welfare roll and moving up life's ladder.
Over the course of 16 years, welfare reform has proven to be a historic achievement. But, ignoring this record, the Department of Health and Human Services last month announced that it would allow states to propose programs that did not comply with federal work requirements. With a stroke of a pen, decades of bipartisan efforts to tie welfare to work were undone, and the heart of welfare reform was gutted.
As a candidate, the president claimed that he supported welfare-to-work policies. He once professed that work should be "a centerpiece of any social policy." He has now apparently changed his mind.
Worse still is the way this recent decision unfolded. President Obama did not work with Congress to secure legislative approval. He did not tell the American people about his decision - or ask them for their support. He simply decided that he did not like the existing law, and then chose to work around it.
By unwinding our nation's welfare-to-work requirements, the Obama administration is making a tragic mistake. Millions have benefited from this bipartisan reform. And while the Obama administration has given no indication that it will reverse this decision, this November voters will have a chance to elect someone who will.
When he was governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney was a strong proponent of welfare reform and fought hard to ensure it was implemented in accordance with federal guidelines. He understands that linking welfare to work reflected our country's most important principles and that the dream of overcoming hardship - and moving from government dependence to economic independence - is one that America must never turn away from.
This is yet another example of the very clear choice that Americans have before them in the coming election: a choice between President Obama's old-school liberal policies and government handouts, and Governor Romney's vision of increased economic freedom and opportunity.
What President Obama does not understand is that we don't want handouts - nor do we want to go back to the failed policies of the past. Instead, we want a president who can deliver an economic recovery, and the employment opportunities that so many of our fellow Americans still need. We want a president who will make sure our dreams of economic success can be realized. Those dreams are what made America great, and Mitt Romney will make sure they remain within reach for future generations.
We have a chance this November to elect a president who understands that while tough times don't last, tough people do. And Americans are tough. We may be experiencing hard times, but we will bounce back. This is at the heart of what makes our country great - and what made welfare reform successful.
President Obama's welfare policy accepts that tough times are here to stay, and jobs will remain in short supply. But what our country is experiencing doesn't have to be permanent. If we elect Mitt Romney as our next President, we can usher in a new era of opportunity and prosperity.
SHADE the motion picture is set blow the lid off the Bilderberg plot to exterminate the poor. The world elites take the Biblical prophecies of Zion in a Satanic direction. The scriptures explain that the people of God will establish a civilization called Zion, meaning they will be of one heart and one mind. That is to say, the people will have an eye single to the glory of God and will not be chasing after worldly indulgences, perversions, and corruption.
One of the characteristics of Zion is that it will be a prosperous society. There will be no poor among them. That can be taken two different ways.
The correct way is to understand that the people help each other and work together under the direction of God and his prophet and apostles. Each individual and each family prospers. Every person diligently magnifies his own stewardship and is personally accountable for his own works.
There are no poor, because nobody is idle minded or lazy or dependent on the government. In fact, the Zion government will be more akin to the spirit and intent of the Constitution of the United States as originally envisioned by our Founding Fathers. The spirit and intent of the Constitution has never been to promote or to allow an entitlement mindset or a welfare state or any form of socialism to creep into our society. In Zion, the idle will not eat the bread of the laborer. In other words, the idle will either choose to work or choose to leave. There will be no other options.
Now, don't go thinking the crippled and the elderly and the mentally incompetent will be left unattended. They will receive the best care, and they will be cared for by the people closest to them, not by the government and not by any type of social program. If your grandma gets sick, you will be the one tending her. If your kid is retarded, you will be the one taking care of him. You don't get to pawn anyone off on state welfare. There is no state welfare.
The erroneous way of thinking is to exile or exterminate anyone deemed poor. Rather than create jobs for the poor and pay them fair wages for their efforts, the poor are simply rounded up and exiled or flat out murdered. Death panels determine who is worth saving when it comes to rationing the so called free health care you liberals want so badly. This is what the proponents of the New World Order want to do. Secret societies such as the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati are major influences behind this plot.
The time will come when those who support the likes of Obama will no longer coexist with those who hold fast to the timeless principles of truth and liberty and the Constitution. There will be a complete polarization between these two camps. There will be a physical separation of the two, not merely an ideological distinction as there has hitherto been.
In all likelihood, the physical escape of the Zion society from among the socialist society will involve bloodshed. So, heed the prophets, search the scriptures, store food, buy crossbows, machetes, knives, and various household chemicals you may need to employ in defense of your own life and the lives of your loved ones. We will need to think outside the box on this. Big government may take away guns and ammunition, but you can still buy knives, bows and arrows, and various cleaning supplies that have useful chemicals in them. We still outnumber the government, and we can still outsmart the government, even though the government may have us outgunned.
Above all, remember to pray. That is something over which your enemies can wield no power. Most of them don't even believe in God. The federal government, as it stands today, scorns deity. Prayer is your secret weapon. It is the one thing you have that they don't. It is the one thing they cannot regulate or take away from you. It's free. And the only training you need is faith in Christ.
Something to consider. When the federal government decides to impose nationwide martial law for an indefinite duration, it will likely import foreign troops to enforce it. I would hope and pray that the majority, if not the entirety of our own troops will stand against the federal government when it comes to that. After all, our troops are part of We the People. They have put their lives on the line for the people. That is why we are still a free country.
The YouTube videos above have nothing to do with the Top Ten list below, but they are must see videos for anyone even thinking about voting for Obama.
I got the following Top Ten list from a friend at church. This is what the media should be circulating. But they never will. So, we should do it.
Why Mitt Romney is unlikable. A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So, after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten list to explain this "unlikablility."
Top Ten Reasons to dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday" where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons, and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But, of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh, yes, he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point: pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF as opposed to marrying into it or inheriting it. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job, building your own business, and earning your own money made you unable to relate to Americans. He only gives 40 percent of his income to charity. How selfish of him. Liberals give so much more. Oh, but wait, liberals give liberally out of YOUR pockets. Mitt Romney dips into his own pocket when he gives.
