"We are repeatedly told these days that music is the most important thing we do in worship. In fact, 'worship' usually means singing or enjoying the singing of others. 'Let's just take some time now to worship' is roughly translated 'Cue the praise band!' (From A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God Centered Worship)

 “Give me control over a nation’s currency and I care not who makes its laws.”
-Baron M.A. Rothschild

“Christian patriots spend more time washing feet than waving flags.” - Chuck Colson (1931-2012)

"Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." ----George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with Sarah McClendon in December 1992 (Source)

"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff (as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein)   


"But the change will come only when we have slammed the system up against the wall and stared it down, and made it responsive to us. It is not unpatriotic to criticize one's country. It is essential. I think of the wife of a drunk who covers, apologize, and makes excuses for him because she loves him too much, and thereby enables him to continue in his oppression and destruction.  In the same way we must stop enabling our system to continue its injustices because, we too, love it so unconditionally that we fail to demand it reform, that is, be responsible." -  With Justice for None - Destroying an American Myth, by Gerry Spence (Attorney)

"Barack Obama is not the problem. We are! Abortion is. Public schools are. A rotting pop culture is. ...Divorce and homosexual 'marriage' are. Obama has been reelected simply because America, like any nation, will always only get the leaders she deserves. We told God to go to hell a long time ago, and God is now allowing us to see what life is like without him. So lead on, Mr. Obama!" (Emphasis mine)(Source)

"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine.  What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and yes, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country! To your future, to your children and your grandchildren. What they are doing is with malice and with forethought." (emphasis mine) (source)

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discover it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship and then  a monarchy."

"If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future for your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren would you do it?  Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation.  Over the past several decades, we have stolen 15 trillion dollars from future generations so that we could enjoy a dramatically inflated level of prosperity.  Our 15 trillion dollar party has been a lot of fun, but what we have done to our children and our grandchildren has been beyond criminal.  We ran up the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the planet and we are sticking them with the bill.  Sadly, both political parties have been responsible for the big spending that has been going on."

"A wicked generation is a generation of vipers, and ought to be told so." - Matthew Henry (1664-1714)

"You know...if I had to borrow 40% of the money I need to pay my bills every month, I'd be fairly alarmed. When you come up a few bucks short at the end of the month for necessary bills, you can cut back: get rid of the cell phone, stop eating out, whatever. But when your monthly nut is routinely running to almost twice what you can pay, you're kind of out of options. It's probably time to re-examine your resistance to sleeping outdoors and pooping outdoors, and...well, doing everything else outdoors, because outdoors is where you're going to be living before long."
