Mark Levin's Forth Coming Book

Scott Cooper

This book, TheLiberty Amendments, which comes out in a couple weeks will be required reading for all Conservative Americans – and then we must begin the work of building our STATE Legislatures.  Please take 30 Minutes to listen to Mark talk about it:

Standing With Representative Michelle Bachmann

Written by:  Scott Cooper

Yesterday, I wrote about The New Tolerance and a few thoughts on what is taking place with Chick-Fil-A.  In a nutshell, the new tolerance is driven by multiculturalism and a belief that ALL worldviews (beliefs) are equal.  Multiculturalism or tolerance is the belief that there are no absolutes.  It is symbolized in the bumper sticker “Coexist.”  The reality is this tolerance actually becomes very intolerant to individuals of faith, specifically Christians, as we have witnessed this week. 

 

Americans have been inundated with this “worldview” in our secondary schools, post-secondary schools, media and the entertainment industry now for decades and our collective indoctrination has in large part led to our departure from moral absolutes.  This is showing up in the leadership we put in power.  When history is seriously studied, one recognizes that when moral absolutes and the Judeo-Christian worldview abandoned, freedom actually is diminished.  That is what we are experiencing today in America.

The political leadership of our country, in both parties, is not currently taking the top three most pressing issues to the loss of our freedoms seriously.  Each of these issues, are grounded in absolutes.  These are:

• Living within our means.  The U.S. Senate has not passed a budget in over three years.  The absolute is we cannot indefinitely spend more than our revenues.  Furthermore, we cannot indefinitely increase our spending.

•     Securing our Borders.  The absolute is, if you don’t defend your borders, you cannot remain a sovereign nation.

•     Identifying and clearly articulating worldviews that are in opposition to our Constitutional Freedoms.

There are countless organizations that are focusing on the first issue.  This is an important issue to focus on.  There are many good organizations that are dealing with the second issue.  This also is an important issue.  Today, I am going to address issue number three, because similar to the issue I addressed yesterday,  our political leadership has been indoctrinated with the Political Correctness based in The New Tolerance, resulting in a hesitancy to speak out on the issue, because of the three tactics of The New Tolerance:

1. No Agreement is Phobia
2. Nonconformity is Hate
3. Conviction is Fanaticism - “One of the necessary results of the new tolerance is the loss of convictions (see Chapter 4 of The New Tolerance).  If no ‘truth’ is any more true than any other ‘truth,’ then there is no truth worth defending.  If there is no truth worth defending, there is no room for conviction – particularly religious conviction (and, even more particularly Christian Conviction.

The worldview I am referring to is Radical Islam, and specifically the reality of The Muslim Brotherhood’s written commitment to “destroy the west and its ‘miserable house’ from within, by their own hands.”  Much has been written in the last week about Michelle Bachman, who sits on The House Intelligence Committee and four other Congressman who simply wanted an investigation of a member of The State Department, who’s family has clear ties to The Muslim Brotherhood.  See Cal Thomas’s July 28^th piece in The Baltimore Sun for Specifics. 

One would think that such an inquiry is what would be expected to come out of The U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.  One would think it was the job description of those serving the US public on that committee to raise such valid questions.  The reality is Michelle Bachman and the other four leaders were reprimanded by GOP leadership, including Speaker John Bohener and Senator John McCain.  There was even talk of removing her from this committee.  Curious, because serious intelligence/security questions were raised, they were at risk of losing their seat on the Intelligence Committee.  Our world truly is upside down.  The New Tolerance prevents our political leadership from doing the right thing – that is why we need new political leadership.

I firmly believe that only if the American People demand our leadership get serious on these issues, will they get serious.  Please invest the 22 minutes to watch this video, by my friend Frank Gaffney, who can more clearly articulate this issue than most individuals I know:

Two things must take place:

1. We, the American Citizenry, must learn these issues so we can articulate to our elected officials why they must address the issues they are too timid to address without pressure from us. 
• Two Resources that I highly recommend:
• The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference DVD – This was a one day Convention where over 20 International Speakers participated, educating over 700 people who travelled to Nashville on 11/11/11 to be educated on the threat of Sharia Law in the US and the Muslim Brotherhood Worldwide.
• The Muslim Brotherhood In America – This is a 10 Part Web Based Course, conducted by Frank Gaffney
2. We need to elect and re-elect courageous leadership.

In addition to Michelle Bachmann, two other leaders who are asking the hard questions, Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona and Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas are individuals that The Government is Not God PAC is supporting.  The Government Is Not God PAC plans to run issue advocacy ads similar to this in key markets throughout the republic in the 2 months leading up to the election.  We need your help to run these ads AND to help re-elect the men and woman mentioned above, and others!  Please donate today!

Don’t Just Remember the Dead - HONOR Them by Engaging in the Current War

Written by Scott Cooper

For much of my life, Memorial Day has been spent thinking about the men and women who fought and died to preserve freedom in this generation and the generations of my parents, and grandparents.  Growing up, the majority of the focus was given to those in World War I and World War II who fought tyranny on foreign lands, to defend our allies and Western Civilization.  We must continue to honor these men and women, as well as the individuals who died in all American Wars.

In the course of the last two years I have spent a lot of time walking Civil War Battlefields.  Living in Fredericksburg has afforded me great opportunities to do so.  As Americans, with the exception of a few terrorist attacks (Ft. Hood, 9-11 and the first world trade center bombing) we have been blessed to not experience warfare on our continent in 147 years.  Warfare that we can visibly see that is, warfare that has casualties in the form of human dead with gravesites where we can place American Flags.

The reality is we are at war today.  It is a war of ideas, where the enemies of our republic are philosophically diametrically opposed to the ideas espoused in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of our United States – the pieces of paper which the hero’s we celebrate today swore an oath to protect and defend.

The enemies of our republic today are not fighting with guns, cannons, aircraft or boats.  They are waging war through main stream media, social media, entertainment, and education systems.  They have cool catch phrases and beautiful pictures.  The exhibit in The Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC describes these catch phrases and pictures as propaganda – but that was WWII, not today! 

The enemies of our republic have infiltrated every aspect of our society and they are rapidly gaining strategic footholds with the intent to strangle freedom’s last breath from our continent, all without firing a shot, while the majority of Americans remain complacent.  There is not a Pearl Harbor or a 9-11 in their strategy that will wake us up and call us to arms, it is a slow and gradual fade of our republic, and right now they are winning.

I could list hundreds of examples, but I am going to start at the top.  The man who currently occupies The People’s House, The White House, has a slogan for his campaign this year.  It is a one word slogan.  Forward.  Please read the Washington Times Article about the history of this slogan.  Its’ history is not tied to our founding.  Nor does it have roots in anything we celebrate today, Memorial Day.

This man has appointed significant numbers of men and women with ties to The Muslim Brotherhood in high positions of power within our Government.  If you do not understand the philosophical views of the Muslim Brotherhood, they are not aligned with our Declaration of Independence or our Constitution.  In fact, their written purpose is to “crumble our miserable house from within.”  Please take this 10 episode course on The Muslim Brotherhood In America, written by my friend Frank Gaffney to learn more.

As we set out to celebrate Memorial Day today, we must remember those who have gone on before.  We should celebrate, and have quality time with our family on this day that we have set aside to do so.  That is right and fitting.  But it must go beyond that.  We must honor our dead by rising up to defend what they so nobly fought and died for, on our behalf.

Today, still, the war is fought at the ballot box.  Unless more American Patriots begin engaging in the battlefield of elections, electing candidates who can articulate the true threats to our republic, our children will be memorializing more than just the dead who gave us and preserved our freedoms.  Failure to engage in the electoral process ensures future generations will be memorializing the republic itself and the ideals their ancestors fought and died for: life, liberty, property rights, individual responsibility, personal charity, the rule of law and justice – not justice where everyone is guaranteed equal results, but where everyone is guaranteed equal justice under the rule of law.

If you do not know how to get engaged in the electoral process before election day, i.e. to help identify, recruit and train solid constitutional conservatives, please send me an e-mail and I can point you in the direction of great organizations who are doing phenomenal work in this area.

Happy Memorial Day.  May God Bless you and your family.  May God continue to bless The United States of America.
