Election 2012 resulted in a disappointing observation. To quote Rush Limbaugh, “In a nation of children, Santa Claus won!”

How do we get past the “entitlement” mentality of half of America? How do we bridge the “entitlement” gap?

In the span of a generation, the American culture has flipped 180°. It was a beloved Democrat, JFK, that delivered the famous admonition: “Ask NOT what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Today’s Democrats (with the GOP not far behind) ran on a platform of “freebies” in exchange for liberty. Of course, they don’t explain it that way, but history tells us repeatedly to guard our liberty from any and all who would put a pricetag on it. Apparently, a majority of Americans have placed a very low price on their liberty – “Obamacare?” The Affordable Care Act will tax Americans (but not illegals) with an income of $14,000 an additional $2500 annually if they do not purchase the “State Insurance Plan!” Does that sound “AFFORDABLE” or “fair” to you?

There are other evidences of this irresponsible, myopic vision. This administration has a number of unresolved events with catastrophic results.

• The FBI debacle known as “Fast & Furious” got as far as the White House in its investigation, and President Obama claimed “Executive” privilege. The only way he can legally do that is if he is intimately involved. Hello?
• Obama’s claim to fame, the capture and … Of Osama bin Laden, though a successful mission, proved a precursor to the revelation that the event could have occurred sooner, but President Obama …hesitated. The heroic SEAL Team 6, responsible for this victory, was “outed” by the White House and soon after, a chopper with an unusual number of this team,  20 SEALS, were shot down mysteriously killing all plus the flight crew – 23 in all. This is, apparently, still … under investigation. Is anyone still asking why so many spec ops agents were on board an unarmored chopper? Does anyone care?
• “Benghazi-gate” is our most recent event of, what seems like treason. The administration continues to hide behind “the investigation,” but we know the attack was watched LIVE from the White House. We know troops nearby on the ground were ordered to “Stand Down.” We know Gen Ham and Gen Allen, both distinguished career officers, refused to obey the order to “stand down,” and were relieved of duty within 24 hours. We know the administration has, with the help of the lap-dog media, succeeded in turning the bloody attack which resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans into a run-of-the-mill DC  sex scandal. Has America moved on to whatever the Kardashian girls or Snooki are doing today?

That doesn’t even touch the election, itself! Have you looked at the “results” map? How does the President win with so few “blue” specks amid the sea of red? Turnout results in some districts greater than 100% of registered voters, multiple precincts reported 100% for Obama – 0 for Romney, Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse … or any other candidate. Strange? Curious? Or just don’t care?

I don’t know how far our nation will have to fall before enough Americans care. I don’t know what might affect the change sufficient to re-awaken the attitude JFK called forth 40 years ago. This much I know, our Founders understood the elements required to build, establish, and maintain a Republic: personal sacrifice, virtue, and free trade!

As for me and my house, we will trust the Lord! This is where things get “radical.” I have told my adult children, and I’m suggesting to you, Patriots, that the only thing we have to cling to right now is what separates us from the Left AND the GOP >>> Traditional American Values! In this transition time, we, as Patriots, need to affirm our belief in our individual & personal FAITH – whatever that may be. We need to position ourselves to be of service to others in the “dark” (and dark is a relative term) days to come. Our WORDS must be put into action for the benefit of others who are struggling. THAT is the ONLY thing short of “bottoming out” that will turn the tide of entitlement around … maybe! But this I know, my God is still on His throne, and His will will be accomplished. My prayer remains the same: that America (and therefore Americans) will take a “reality” pill and … make the Right choice as individual Patriots.

“Right now I call the sky and the earth to be witnesses that I am offering you this choice. Will you choose for the Lord to make you prosperous and give you a long life? Or will he put you under a curse and kill you?
Choose life!”

Deuteronomy 30:19 CEV

12 Reasons to Vote Democratic

SO WHAT? Another Infamous Day for the History Books?

America, Benghazi-gate, George Soros, Lazy Americans, voter fraud

Many are still digesting the events, the voter fraud claims, and the general disgust leftover from the most surprising election of our time. Surprising, not necessarily in a good sense! My frustrations lie primarily in the lack of ACTION in light of the questionable results nationwide! So what? So what 7 registered voters produce 900 votes? So what the military vote in various states was reportedly suppressed. So what?

This is a theme in America right now. So what? Israel is under attack while the “enemies” of America blame Israel as the aggressor. So what? The majority of Americans support Israel, so what? Then there’s the whole “Peyton Place” scenario unfurling from BENGHAZI, but … so what? So what? Either the President is the President or he isn’t? So what? What boss or CEO would be so detached from an operation of his “company” as to have no clue of lives lost … months later? REALLY? Oh … so what? Still waiting the results of the “investigation of the copter that was mysteriously shot down carrying members of the SEAL TEAM 6 last year … SO WHAT?

SO WHAT! We go about our daily jobs (if we still have one), tend our family, our sight growing more and more myopic, more closed to the world around us. So What? We’ve grown NUMB, America! NUMB! Case in point:

After The Election

By Lloyd Phillips

December 7, 1941, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, is famously called a day of infamy. September 11, 2001, likewise has gone down in history as another day of infamy for America. For me November 6, 2012, is yet another day that will go down as a day of infamy for America. It was a bellwether day and, I believe, things after this day will be markedly different than those which preceded.

A short time ago I was so tired of the incessant political campaigning, and all that goes with it that, that I was looking forward to Election Day just to see it end. Now, if I could, I would extend the campaigning as long as it might take to have a different outcome. Pat Caddell, a Democratic pollster and former advisor to President Jimmy Carter, said that in the days leading up to the election it was “within the margin of corruption.”(1) The press is not making news out of the many serious problems with voting in many areas which assisted the president in achieving his end total of electoral votes.

Bus loads of Somalis were brought into polling places in Ohio and the participants were handed templates to help them vote the Democratic ticket since they spoke no English. Voting machines in states such as Nevada repeatedly brought up 0bama when the screen was touched for Romney – numerous complaints were filed. Obama did not win one single state that fully requires photo IDs in order to vote. He lost in several states that do not traditionally vote Republican but do require photo identification. In Pennsylvania a law requiring photo ID to vote was passed but was challenged in court by the Obama campaign and put on hold by a judge until after this election. In some places where photo ID is not required voter registration topped more than 100% of the county populations and up to 92% percent voter turnout when 48% is average. ACORN was famously uncovered for its voter fraud and it disbanded. But there were many who warned that ACORN did not disband, it just went underground. An evil version of John 12:24.

Anyone who watched the now infamous voting at the Democratic convention over whether to put the mention of “God” back into the Democratic platform recognizes how little the actual vote matters to the Democratic party. What is particularly concerning is how this is liable to affect our nation as we go forward, and how little this is being reported in the press.

The press is given particular discretion, protection, and authority in America through our constitution as our founders felt no government could be trusted for long unless there was a watchdog over the sheep, so to speak. Now we have the wolves among the sheep and the watchdogs in the press are not sounding the alarm, if they are indeed watching at all anymore. They seem to feel their job is to assist the wolves and keep the sheep as deceived as possible. Benjamin Franklin famously expressed his view when he wrote, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Freedom is a well-armed lamb contesting that vote.”

When the 2008 presidential election was settled there were those who warned we were going to see “Chicago politics and San Francisco values” becoming national. This has proven to be the case, and the disturbing thing about the 2012 election is the biblical principle that when a thing is repeated twice it becomes established (Gen 41:32). The evil released on our nation since the 2008 election now has been established. Look how damaging Chicago politics have been to the people of Chicago! Yet how many generations have they remained the norm there without anyone being able to alter them?

After the 2000 election and the Florida vote counting, billionaire Socialist George Soros began funding liberal politicians to get them into the office of Secretary of State because they oversee the electoral process necessary to the proper functioning of a republic. His plans have had great success in electing liberals and socialists to the office of Secretary of State in many states to oversee the electoral process. We are witnessing a revolution and few seem to be aware or able to report the extent of the effects. While celebrating President 0bama’s electoral victory in front of the White House election night they were heard chanting over and over “Karl Marx” and “socialism.” It’s notable that Joseph Stalin said, “It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes.”

My how things have changed. I thought that, in a sense, we crossed the Rubicon after Tuesday’s election. The idiom “Cross the Rubicon” means passing a point of no return, a reference to Julius Caesar crossing of the river in 49 BC and refusing to step down as commander as was required by law. It marked the beginning of the end for the Roman republic. When he crossed the river and refused to give up his commission he spoke the words “alea iacta est” – the die is cast. It is interesting that when elected to the Continental Congress John Adams, the Father of American Independence wrote, “The die is now cast; I have passed the Rubicon. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish with my country is my unalterable determination.” I am grateful for the wisdom and determination of a small remnant of men such as him. I pray God will raise up such wisdom and determination once again in our hour of need.

Halftime Is Over … We’re Back in the FIGHT!

This Election Map Tells the REAL Story. (We have taken the Liberty to correct the colors — red is a much more fitting color for the Leftist strongholds.)

Bullet Points From the After Action Report

“Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” –Thomas Jefferson (1775)

Tuesday, the final ballot-box battle to unseat Barack Hussein Obama was narrowly repelled, but in the process, his socialist cadres exposed the full range of weapons and tactics in their arsenal. While our unceasing efforts to defend Liberty would have received an assist by a Romney-Ryan victory, our mission in support of Liberty is not predicated upon who sits in the White House or on Capitol Hill.

While the Obama-Biden ticket’s marginal victory certainly does not constitute a mandate, Obama will pursue his statist agenda as if he had won every vote rather than just the slim 50.4 percent majority. His objective remains “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” and he will pursue the centerpiece of that objective, breaking the back of free enterprise, with vigor.

American Patriots across the nation have and will continue to engage his socialist cadres every time they step onto the field.

Future Battle Bullet Points:

Election Results

Obama: 60.6 million or 50.4 percent. Romney: 57.8 million, 48.1 percent. Turnout was down 14 million votes and Obama got almost 10 million fewer votes than in 2008. Romney received two million fewer votes than McCain in 2008, but final counts are not in yet. Increased voter turnout of three Democrat constituencies, black, Latino and 18-30-year-old voters, above average election turnouts prior to 2008 accounted for 6 percent of the popular vote — which put Obama over the top. Obama lost all states that require voter photo IDs. He won four states which accept non-photo IDs, such as utility bills and bank statements (Washington, Colorado, Ohio and Virginia). He won the states that require no voter IDs (Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin and Nevada). Exit polls in key swing states won by Obama indicated that there were significantly fewer votes cast by faith-motivated voters.

The GOP Experts

Why were seasoned conservative campaign experts completely wrong in their predictions of a big Romney win in the closing days of the campaign?

Michael Barone declared, “Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223.” George Will predicted a Romney electoral win of 321-217. Dick Morris foresaw “a massive win for Romney.” Ann Coulter determined, “I can’t see a scenario where Romney wins less than 273 electoral votes.”

But what none of the A-team could see was Romney’s grassroots deficit. Like Mitt Romney, these erstwhile analysts were, and remain, unwittingly insulated from the reality of grassroots America. From down here at ground level, it was apparent that Team Romney had not embraced the messages needed to draw moderate grassroots Americans to his side of the ledger. The last Republican to succeed in that endeavor was Ronald Reagan.

Weeks ago, Team Patriot prepared and delivered a Memo to Mitt From Grassroots Americans to his communications director. Unfortunately, despite repeated efforts, it did not get through the gauntlet of Romney’s campaign professionals, who seemed certain that they already had the formula for a victory. Maybe it was the price of our advice that caused them to ignore it — it was free.

Grassroots America is Conservative!

Could that grassroots memo have made a difference? Well, a swing of a few hundred thousand votes of the tens of millions cast in swing states would have resulted in a Romney win. Could Romney have won if his campaign had done more to invigorate grassroots voters? We’ll never know.

Miscellaneous Field Notes

So, what’s up from here? Here’s the short list: Debt, taxes, layoffs, government regulations, health care mandates, welfare, food stamps, government plantation populations, ignorance, inflation (just watch), black socialist, Latino socialist, unmarried female socialist, arrested development adolescent socialist — and Leftists on the Supreme Court to support all of the above! And a few other things that are up: Submission to China, Russia and Islamofascists, and the threat of another devastating strike by al-Qa’ida on U.S. soil.

Apparently, sometimes Obama does tell the truth: “I actually believe in redistribution.”

A handout is much easier to sell than a hand up, and, frankly, it’s remarkable that almost half of American voters still support free enterprise over statist socialist redistribution. Once again, as avowed socialist George Bernard Shaw smugly declared: “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”

Obama will use his second term Senate majority to implement gun control measures. Memo to Dianne Feinstein: I recall that the first shots of the American Revolution were to repel government efforts to capture and destroy arms and supplies stored by the Massachusetts militia in the town of Concord. Bring it on!

I grieve that our young military men and women will have to continue to salute Barack Obama as their CINC for the next four years, but I remind them that their oath is to “support and defend” our Constitution, not Obama.

Former DemoGogue Chairman Howard Dean declared the only way Obama could lose would be voter fraud. The reality is, he got elected by defrauding voters.

There were reasons that our Founders insisted that voters be property owners (tax payers) — in today’s parlance, taxpayers are the only folks with skin in the game. Of course, they revolted over a three-pence tax on tea — and would most assuredly wonder why Americans have tolerated the oppressive taxes levied today.

Most revealing Leftmedia remark on Obama’s win: “I’m so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. … The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.” –MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on the benefits of Hurricane Sandy for Obama. That prompted this response from the New York Post: “Millions of his fellow citizens encounter appalling deprivations along the way — well, to Matthews, they’re just eggs to be broken for the Obama omelet. … Matthews lives in the very rich and overwhelmingly white Maryland township of Chevy Chase — which makes his pious sermonizing about GOP ‘elitism’ just another bucket of moral bilge.”

Get ready for the 2014 midterms!

It’s a fine thing to live in a region of the nation that consistently supports our Constitution, and more particularly to live in the Great State of Tennessee, where my fellow residents gave Romney 60 percent of the popular vote and secured a supermajority in both chambers of our state legislature who will work well with our Republican governor.

Pray, America

We all know the many Scripture verses that remind us God is in control. We must not assume, however, that God is “pleased” with America’s choice for President, but He is God! We are not! We must press deeper into His character, His ways, His word at this time for the people of this great nation.

Remember, too, that FREEDOM is God’s idea! True freedom only flows from Him and no man can take that from us. The liberties we have enjoyed in the USA, may continue or they may be diminished, but Freedom in Christ remains! It is our privilege and duty to pray as God directs us, and that includes praying for our leaders!

Please read that note I received below from the Presidential Prayer Team, and consider joining our effort to turn the hearts of our leaders and the people back to God! ~ BBB

Dear Concerned Americans,

God’s will can often seem an elusive thing. Or is it?

The morning after Election Day, many of us were honestly wondering, “Is this really God’s will?” Whether it was the outcome of the presidential election, or the races in Congress, or state and local elections for political offices and propositions, it was easy to question if God saw – or even cared – about any of it.

So let me remind you of a powerful reality. The course of your life over the next four years will be determined by the Lord, not the election. As Jim Ray wrote in our November 7 Vantage Point devotional: “You are not an insignificant pawn subject to the whims of a politician, but a powerful servant subject to the will of God.”

Yet the other powerful truth to remember is this: God’s command to us from I Timothy 2:1-2 remains valid today and every day. When Paul wrote that verse, the recognized leader of the world was the Emperor Nero, who was not exactly a friend of Christians. Yet Paul exhorted believers then – and today – to pray for all who are in authority over us. Why? Because that IS God’s will. Even when we don’t like the leaders or their decisions; even when we disagree with the declining state of morality in American society; even when we are unhappy… We are to pray because that is God’s will for us, and because He remains in full control over the nation and its future.

Let’s not back down now. Let’s continue our desperate cry for America! Lord, give us another chance. We are here, for such a time as this, as events lead us toward biblical end-times in which we can pray for and witness God’s supreme purposes as they are played out, to His glory!

You can count on your Prayer Team to continue to carefully watch all the news and events and bring you prayer briefings and alerts as needed.

Now more than ever, we need the resolve and strength of God’s people to fervently pray. We hope America can count on you.

Ohio Vote Totals For Barack Obama A Statistical Miracle!

a statistical miracle

By Tom Tillison
Florida Political Press

Front Page Magazine is reporting that Barack Obama won Wood County in Ohio this year with 108% of registered voters. That’s not a typo.

Voter Fraud: Obama Won %108 of Registered Voters in Ohio County

In 2012, 106,258 people in Wood County are registered to vote out of an eligible 98,213. This is not to say that the 108% registered all voted for Obama, just that more people are registered than eligible.

Perhaps even more astonishing is FPM reports that he won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland. Think about that… Ohio voters had 7 presidential candidates to choose from, plus the option to write in candidates of their choosing, yet every last voter in 21 districts chose Obama.

Gary Johnson, the candidate for disaffected Libertarians who received 43,479 votes here in Florida, was on the Ohio Ballot. And while Roseanne Barr was not, she did make it on the Florida ballot and the 7,971 misguided souls that voted for her shows that there are always going to be those who choose to follow their own path. Always.

Except in Cleveland, Ohio.

Is that not a stunning consideration? As of early September, voting registration lists totaled 900,135 in Cuyahoga County, which makes up much of the Cleveland metropolitan area, so exactly how many votes do 15 districts represent? Thousands… tens of thousands?

Yet every last one, down to a man voted for Barack Obama – a statistical miracle!

Reports such as this are sure to trickle out around the country for weeks to come. We have become a very sick society and considering the current President of the United States once taught Saul Alinksy in college, who’s philosophy is the ends justify the means, rampant corruption should not come as a surprise.

While you may expect a thorough investigation to be launched, particularly so considering Ohio has a Republican governor, with a negligent media sure to suppress the story and an Obama Administration that can stonewall with the best of them (Fast & Furious, Benghazi), and with the American people ready to move on from the election, this is going nowhere fast.

And as long as the citizens of this country continue to deny the corruption exists, justify it in whatever manner or just look the other way, they are bringing irreparable harm upon future generations, who will ultimately pay the price for this lack of courage.

Unfortunately, any efforts to address the issue end up being hijacked by demagogues, with the Democratic Party typically pushing back for even fewer controls and accusing Republicans of racism and voter suppression, regardless of the proposal put forth.

Times that try men’s souls…

Tuesday 6 November 2012 America’s Rebirth begins

Friday, Nov 2, 2012

Glenn Beck and Matt Kibbe held an event in the key swing state of Ohio to fire up people there and across the country with just four days left before the 2012 Election. Watch it in the video player above, and tune in Monday at 8pm ET on TheBlaze TV for a special broadcast of the program with behind-the-scenes footage.

Glenn opened the his keynote speech by reading a letter that he was given from a listener who was struggling with personal demons and ended up losing custody of his son and ended up living in a storage unit. In the letter, he described his struggles as well as how Glenn inspired him to get up and start turning his life around. He wrote a motto and committed to following it every day: The moment a man stops trying to do his very best is the moment a man starts to do his very worst. Today, the man who wrote Glenn that letter has turned his life around. He has rebuilt his life, advanced in his career, and gotten custody of his son back. He has rescued his credit and on his way to being debt free.

Glenn told the crowd America now faces a similar choice: Do we choose to stop being our best, and as a result start to become our worst? Or do we take a different path?

“We have become a zero sum nation,” he said. “One family goes up the ladder, another one has to come down.”

He explained that in a zero sum nation where people think that you can only do better at the expense of someone else, values like freedom, charity, merit and virtue are lost. As a result, America has become a handout nation, where people get trophies and awards just for showing up. Because this mentality believes that people can only improve their lot in life by taking from others, the solution becomes equality of outcome for everyone. When this happens, success, progress, and personal responsibility are all lose.

“That’s the choice we’ve been told we have to accept,” Glenn said.

Glenn, like many Americans, doesn’t believe that’s the way things have to be.

“This Tuesday you’re going to send a message to the whole world. On Wednesday we’re going to wake up to a new America,” Glenn said.

“Our choice on Tuesday is greatness, not mediocrity, but greatness. Not just holding on, but greatness. That is the choice: to be better than we ever have in our lifetime. It is an honor to be those people who strive to be so much more,” he said.

“We don’t want trophies for participation. We don’t want a prize just for showing up.We are the people that changed the world and now stand ready to change it for the better again! This is not something we hope for. This is something we do on Tuesday!”

Glenn also took time in his speech to touch on the events in Benghazi, pointing out that it was not the American way to leave people behind like that nor to order those who are able to help to stand down.

He also touched on New York City and the tragic aftermath of Hurricane Sandy that has seen many still trying to recover. Glenn said that despite the fact that many in New York treated he and his family like garbage over the past few years, he was proud to have been a part of Mercury One’s efforts to raise money for the relief. He announced on stage that the organization had raised over 1.2 million dollars in funds for the city because of donations from people like those in his audience Friday night.

“America this is your moment! Ohio this is your moment! This is the moment you lead us out! This is the moment where you give us courage and lead the way so America gets off the mat and knocks the bullies out.”

“This is the moment where your hands set the world free once again.”

a "Foreigner's" View, Alternative perspective

In the light of your failure to elect a proper President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. (Except Utah, which she does not fancy.) Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable David Cameron, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up “aluminium”. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘favour’ and ‘neighbour’, skipping the letter ‘U’ is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter ‘Z’ (pronounced ‘zed’ not ‘zee’). You will learn that the suffix ‘burgh is pronounced ‘burra’ e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as ‘Pittsberg’ if you can’t cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up “vocabulary”. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up “interspersed”. There will be no more ‘bleeps’ in the Jerry Springer show. If you’re not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn’t have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won’t have to use bad language as often.

2. There is no such thing as “US English”. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter ‘u’.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn’t that hard. English accents are not limited to Cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents – Scottish dramas such as “Taggart” will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we’re talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is “Devon”. If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become “shires” e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as “Men Behaving Badly” or “Red Dwarf” will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can’t cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.

5. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.

6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2011. You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the ‘World Series’ for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls’ game called “rounders” which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. “Merde” is French for “Shit”. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don’t believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called “Indecisive Day”.

9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren’t even French, they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called “crisps”. Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.

11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as “beer”, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as “Lager”.

The substances formerly known as “American Beer” will henceforth be referred to as “Near-Frozen Gnats’ Urine”, with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as “Weak Near-Frozen Gnats’ Urine”. This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.

13. From December 1st the UK will harmonise petrol (or “Gasoline” as you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2012) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices roughly $6/US gallon – get used to it).

14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun.

15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.

• I will vote for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Prov.6:17).
• I will vote for the most pro-Israel candidate, because God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who don’t (Gen.12:3).
• I will vote for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is servant to the lender (Prov.22:7).
• I will vote for the most pro-work candidate because God says if a man does not work, let him not eat (2 Thes. 3:10).
• I will vote for the most pro-marriage candidate, because God is for marriage as defined in Genesis 2:24.
• I will vote for the candidate who most closely believes government’s purpose is to reward the good and punish the evil (Romans 13).
• I will vote based as close as I can on God’s Word (2 Tim.3:16), knowing that whoever gets elected, God is the one who puts all men in authority (Dan. 2:21).

I did not write this post. Rather, I found it on facebook. Go figure! I do, however, share the convictions of this Patriot, and pray there are many, many others out there who share the same sentiments and values. I would only add …

• I will vote for the candidate who is most strongly Pro-Constitution because that also means he is the most Pro-Freedom candidate.
• I will vote for the man who is the most Pro-Morality candidate because we know virtue is necessary to establish & sustain personal freedom. Character really is indicative of a genuine leader.

THESE are American values!
