"Poor
people in America's twenty-first century enjoy options and privileges
that even the wealthiest couldn't claim one hundred years ago. Far from
oppressing the working class, the corporate system has vastly improved
the purchasing power of all Americans." - The 10 Big Lies About America, by Michael Medved
"An
advertisement keeps popping up for a new paraphrase of the Bible. It's a
full page, color photograph of a woman who appears to be young,
sophisticated, well educated, with a hint of cynicism. 'Pastor,' the
caption reads, 'if you want to reach me, you better watch your
language.' The inside cover elaborates: 'Distracted by deadlines and
bills, this is the only time she takes to nurture her spiritual life.
You can't afford to lose her attention when you reference Bible passages
that are too lofty and obscure.' Why can't a good pastor respond, 'No,
this isn't about making things comfortable for you. If you are baptized,
then this speech that the Bible uses is your language. You have to make
an effort to understand it, to live in its world, and to breath its
air. If you are too distracted by deadlines and bills to take any time
outside this one hour a week for your faith, then you'll pardon me for
not losing the rest of my congregation to the world just for you."
- Dr. Michael Horton, (From A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God Centered Worship)
"If trouble must come, let it come in my day, that my child may live in peace." - Source unknown
"Maybe
the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe
they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of
friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights
of the poor respected." - Dr. Lewis Smedes (1921-2002)
"We
are presently working discretely with all our might to wrest this
mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local
nation states of the world." - Arnold Toynbee, Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1031 (as quoted in the United Nations Exposed)
"Having passed historic legislation to make American factories the
fairest, cleanest, safest and finest place on earth for industrial
workers, liberals then turn around and backed free trade agreements that
say to U.S. manufacturers: "If you want to get out from under all these
liberal laws, if you want to be rid of those demanding U.S. workers and
unions, shut down your plant here, lay off your U.S. workers, move to
China, make your goods there, and export them, free of charge, back to the USA.
Pocket all the money you save and put it into executive bonuses and
laugh at us liberals on the slopes of Teluride and Vail." Day of Reckoning - How Hubris, Ideology and Greed Are Tearing America Apart, by Patrick Buchanan

Misc. Quotes for Thursday, September 29, 2016
"We believe in God in 3 persons, blessed Trinity. God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. This is the essential truth. There
is no gospel without it." - Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones (1899-1981)
"It's a racket. It has nothing to do with being a lawyer. Find em, sign em, settle em, take the money and run." - John Grisham
"To the question, 'should one preach doctrine?' the Puritan answer would have been, 'Why? What else is there to preach?' Puritan preachers were not afraid to bring the profoundest theology into the pulpit if it bore on their hearers salvation...doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrite; but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep. The preacher's job is to proclaim the faith, not to provide entertainment for unbelievers. In other words, to feed the sheep and not amuse the goats." - Dr. J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness: A Puritan View of the Christian Life
"I never got a chance, of course, to cross-examine him. And I didn't want to anymore. I just wanted to talk to him, to make sure he knew he hadn't fooled all of us, and that his 'Dream Team' hadn't fooled most Americans. I wanted to tell him that there was another court that would hear his case one day, with a judge who would separately try racist cops and murderers. A court where everyone will have to account for his actions alone. A court where the only witnesses will be Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown." - In Contempt, by Christopher Darden, one of O.J. Simpson's prosecutors:

"People often ask physicians how we handle the emotional stress of dealing with ill children. What are our defense mechanisms? Do we practice a cool detatchment? Do we shut off our emotions completely? Or do we go home at the end of the day and sob over a reheated dinner? ...The truth is that we are trained to do a job: recognize a problem, come up with a solution and execute that plan. Our abillity to actually do something protects us from what you might expect would be a chronic depressive state. We feed off the satisfaction of being able to help and we know that things would be worse if we didn't or couldn't, do anything. For that reason, the experience of taking care of sick kids is much different from a hopeless walk through a pediatric ward as a visitor." - Katrina Firlik, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe - A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside

and ask yourselves, 'What am I doing?' You will be dead long before
this world will ever be put right. What therefore will happen to you?" - Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones (1899-1981)

Misc. Quotes for Thursday, June 23, 2016
"Today
Americans would be outraged if U.N. Troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true
if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real
or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all
peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from
this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for
the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world
government." In
an address to the Bilderberger organization meeting at Evian, France,
on May 21, 1991. As transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the
Swiss delegates.

Misc. Quotes for Wednesday, June 15, 2016
"While leftist historians have always derided the era following the war between the states [U.S. Civil War, 1861-1865] as a time of corruption and complacency, no single generation in human history raised living standards more rapidly, absorbed and assimilated comparable waves of immigration, settled more vast and remote frontiers, built as many new states and glittering cities, or brought a nation so quickly to the top of world power...The working class, in fact, benefited mightily from the explosive growth of the Gilded Age. ...between 1860 and 1890 real wages [adjusted for inflation] increased by a staggering 50 percent in America." - The 10 Big Lies About America, by Michael Medved
"How are traditional Americans, jealous of the liberty and proud of their heritage of independence, to be persuaded to give up their national sovereignty for a seat at the table of Strobe Talbott's New World Order? By stealth. In 1974, Richard N. Gardiner, later Clinton's ambassador to Spain, echoed Brazinski's warning not to awaken the sleeping giant of American patriotism but to proceed by subtlety and indirection: 'The House of World Order will have to be built from the bottom up...An end run about national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.' 'Piece by piece' our sovereignty is being surrendered. By accession to NAFTA, GATT, the UN, the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, America has ensnared itself in a web that restricts its freedom of action, diminishes its liberty, and siphons off its wealth. Most Americans do not understand this." - The Great Betrayal - How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy, by Patrick Buchanan
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past..."
- David Rockefeller, Memoirs
" DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead
“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity.”
― Michael Denton, Evolution: Still A Theory in Crisis (2016)
