Foundational Moral Chutzpah Missing:  Trump_Washington

This program begins with a reflection on the morality and virtue as taught by the Clergy of the American Revolution. In the referenced PDF below, George Washington’s Farewell Address, the reference to personal and national morality and virtue is more than a suggestion. Washington fundamentally insist that they be a focus of society for our happiness and good governance.

Unlike the majority of pastors and church leaders in the present, the Founding Clergy (for the most part) had real Chutzpah! It is clear from The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution that pastors should lead the fight for morality, virtue and yes – political security of Liberty. The likes of a strong Scotsman, John Witherspoon, had the most flagrant boldness of many Pastors/Theologians/University Presidents/Political Leaders of the day. {Read Chapter 28 in the book}

Yes, what we saw on Tuesday night is that President Trump has that very same Chutzpah! Continue reading →

Mirrors of History Abound:  Federalist Papers

The attacks on President Trump abound as not seen in the last eighty years. The real travesty is that the majority of the Citizenry have never even considered the July 17 thru 21 Constitutional Debates. I’m sure you are asking: What debates and what happened?

Part 5 – Self-Inflicted Eviction: Public Pension Crisis

Is The Public Pension Crisis Affecting Everyone?   Norcross and Gonzales chart

Wharton School of Business posted an article/pod cast in August 2018 regarding “The Time Bomb Inside Public Pension Plans”. On the pod cast, Wharton’s Olivia Mitchell and Leora Friedberg of the University of Virginia discuss the $4.4 trillion public sector pension shortfall. The research is very clear that these Public Pension plans have been it trouble for years and the chickens are coming home to roost.

What’s that mean for Ohio?

1-26-18 The Nothing New Deception

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: iHeartRadio | RSS | More

Nothing New Deception:

I start out discussing HR 1 which is the ever so common Nothing New Deception from the democrats. Congressman Jim Jordan points out that this first Bill by the demoncrats includes:

  • Lowering voting age to 16

  • Gives federal workers six days paid vacation to work the polls

  • And makes taxpayers finance campaigns.

So I dissect this for you and bring to light the facts that none of this is new. Rep. Jordan refers to the Washington Post Opinion article “Mitch McConnell: Behold the Democrat Politician Protection Act”. See the references for the link. What a convoluted mess to undermine the Fundamentals of the election process and the integrity of individual sovereignty.

My real interest is to bring you back to the mirrors of history in which the Anti-federalists established the intent of a ‘consolidated government’ that would emotionally manipulate a dumbed down electorate/Citizenry.

The Hideous Daemon:

Part 4 – Self-Inflicted Eviction – Who’s Minding The Boards?

Is Anyone actually watching or being held accountable for your Levy Tax Dollars.

Therefore every time you vote in favor of a Levy without demanding accountability, you are contributing to not only your – but others Self-Inflicted Eviction.

The purpose of this post is that simple deeper dive into the ‘Unaffordability” of Levies. It has taken a long time to bring this information to you since the details of it had to be more fully investigated and then written in more of a ‘White Paper’ format. Consider how long the list of the taxing authorities are as noted in “Part 3 of Self-imposed Eviction: Confusion – Good Intentions By Deception and Legislation”. The challenge for this writer has been to drill down on the Ohio Revised Code, the Ohio Administrative Code and the various bureaucratic entities rules, grants, strategies and policies.

Gulp! Where’s the Tylenol™ for the headache?

It is abundantly clear that many of the “unelected” Boards and bureaucrats of some nineteen taxing Subdivisions in Ohio have “ZERO Accountability” to the Citizens of the Counties. Why? Because no one is paying attention to them. Continue reading →

Reverend Hall is another Pastor who lead from the Front. He was thirty-one when he entered college under the tutelage of Dr. John Witherspoon.

In addition to being a leader in the pulpit he fully understood the Biblical perspective of standing against tyranny. With that in mind, James Hall “took the lead in all public meetings held to discuss the political topics of the day. He denounced toryism unsparingly, and on every occasion when he could get a hearing made eloquent and earnest appeals in behalf of freedom.” Continue reading →
