Democratic Party Appeals to Sinful Nature

If one would diligently seek to understand why the Democratic Party has such a diligent and loyal following, the plain facts stand out in the open not waiting to be discovered, but simply acknowledged. It is not a mystery, but like the proverbial emperor without clothes, very few people have the courage to point out the obvious. Simple observation tells us that which makes the Democratic Party so appealing to such a wide spectrum of people today is its appeal to the worst parts of human nature. There is not a campaign or speech that is not built upon envy, jealousy, covetness and hatred. The primary targets are the wealthy and the Christians, the lawful and the productive. Democrats present themselves as the valiant and heroic protectors of the innocent, while much of the appeal benefits the sinful and slothful.

According to the principles and actions of the Democratic Party today, even the Biblical account of Jesus’ parable of the talents was inherently flawed. In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus speaks of a rich man giving his three servants various sums of money to keep for him while he went away. Two of the servants used their innovative skills to double their sums, but one did absolutely nothing. The first servant was given five pieces, and made another five, giving him ten. The second servant had been given two pieces, and made another two, giving him four. The third servant was given one piece, but instead of using it to increase his sum, he hid it in the ground!
When the rich man returned, he was very pleased with the two who had increased their sums of money, but was utterly displeased with the one who merely buried his. When questioned by the proprietor, he simply made excuses, and for his slothfulness, his one piece of money was taken from him, and given to the one who now had ten, giving him a total of eleven. This is the fundamental principle of capitalism and our free enterprise system—hard and dedicated work and effort does have its rewards!

From the liberal view, the traveling proprietor would have scolded the two profiteers and taken money from them for redistribution. In the name of fairness, he would take five pieces from the one who had gained ten, and give one piece to the one with four, and four to the one who had buried his one—giving each of the servants five. Is this what Jesus intended? Let’s lay it in the line…
If a person is diligent in planning their life’s course—going to school, college, making good grades, getting a well-paying job, even becoming a CEO of a major corporation—then they deserve every penny that the market is willing to pay them! It requires the use of one’s own God-given abilities to maximize his or her potential in life. If an individual or even a husband and wife take the risk of starting a business that become very successful, then they deserve to enjoy the fruit of their labor, and the reward for their risk! These people are utterly despised by the socialism-craving members primarily embedded within the Democratic Party, as well as the media complex, civil rights industry, environmental movement and many other left-leaning groups and organizations.

In contrast, suppose a young woman is sexually active and promiscuous during her teenage years. She becomes pregnant and eventually has four or five children, and as in many cases, by different men. She has learned how to live off of the system. She has buried her God-given gifts and now lives in functional poverty with her children, but no man. But what about the man? He dropped out of high school because he thought that he needed to make money right away! He was a man at age sixteen, and thought that he could make the world and the system work for him, but now reality has set in, and the opportunities that were many had gone. Now, both the woman and the man are staunch Democrats, and nothing can persuade them differently. It does not matter what the issues are, neither does morality apply. The Democratic Party is the political machine they are devoted to forever!

But what is the Democratic Party’s appeal to the masses? What makes them so strong and influential? Close and careful scrutiny tells us that they actually appeal to the lowest qualities in human nature, or should we say—the sinful nature! For example, one of the Democratic Party’s primary mantras is to place increasing tax burdens upon the wealthy because they make or have too much money. Is this not envy or even perhaps, jealousy? To simply want the power of government to act as the punisher of the economically successful bears no moral standing, and is a form of oppression. What moral position does one man have to determine how much wealth another man can have?

Then there is the question of how much of another person’s wealth is a person in need entitled to? It is one thing to give to another person in order to help them out, but it is another issue entirely when the recipient acquires the power to demand as much as he or she wants! So there is an appeal to one’s own greed, and when people in power promise to use the force of government to confiscate another person’s wealth is no more than legalized theft! The Democratic Party’s principle of wealth redistribution is quite appealing to those who are the beneficiaries, but the cost extracted not from the providers, but from those who become dependent upon the treasury is immense—it costs them their very souls!

The justification for punishing the successful people stems from the hatred that festers from within—an infection of the sinful soul. The Democratic Party’s strength comes from taking advantage of man’s sinful nature! People who are fed on a daily basis a steady diet of reasons why they are not treated fairly (even though their own choices in life are never examined) will allow the envy and jealousy to turn into hatred. Once the hatred has taken root, there is nothing that can turn it, and like a raging fire, the only way it diminishes is after it has consumed all of the fuel in its path!

So I close and conclude with a question: Is this the reason liberals hate Christianity? Those evil attributes listed actually drive and motivate millions of constituents in America, and our Judeo-Christian traditions work to counter them and inspire us to use our gifts and talents to be successful. It is normal to see prosperity as God’s blessing! To use our gifts and talents to become wealthy is a very common American dream. What the Democrats are encouraging is something strange and alien to our way of life.

The Truth About the 14th Amendment

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Many would say that this is what Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution says, and have accepted it in such manner. This implies that the only thing qualifying a person for citizenship is to simply be born here; however, it is not as simple as many have been led to believe. This is only partially true, which also means that it contains a bit of untruth, which should provoke us to seek the reasons why.

For many decades, the claim to right of citizenship based upon this perspective has become an openly contentious debate, as even our own political leadership has waxed weak and opportunistic, cowardly accepting this erroneous train of thought while pretending to be protectors and defenders of our venerable and historic document.

If the previously-expressed version truly expressed the purpose and intent of Section 1, then there would certainly be no argument. All would be as it currently is-- and then some! However, there is a significant part of this section not usually mentioned. The true wording of the opening statement of Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment is...


"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."


The missing clause clearly identifies and defines what personage is entitled to citizenship! It clearly presents two qualifying tests that make any person an outright citizen of the United States. The first is to be born in the United States or any territory claimed such as an embassy or military base. The next is whether the person is subject to its jurisdiction. The jurisdiction portion of the clause ensures that the amendment follows the course of natural law. Without it, there is chaos and confusion, which explains the turmoil surrounding our current "citizenship by birth" dilemma. In addition, the argument follows no sensible logic, nor makes good, common sense. In fact, to accept children born in the United States to parents who enter illegally places an undue burden upon the state and its citizenry. No other nation practices this policy because of its irrational proposition!

Natural law says that since a newborn is not able to choose, then the matter of jurisdiction is inherited from or transferred to them through the parents. Therefore, if the parents are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, then the children are naturally assumed to be as such also. Again, this flows in accordance with the principles of natural law-- a line of thought that has been reflected and practiced by every nation from their various beginnings! On the other hand, if this principle is flipped, where the place of the child's birth becomes the sole determiner of citizenship as well as an opportunity for security for the parents, chaos and social unrest emerge!

So why was this part of the 14th Amendment necessary? Where did it come from and what purpose did it serve? First of all, Section 1 did address the issue of citizenship, but not for the purpose of establishing a "short cut" for those who are simply born here without taking into consideration of which nation's jurisdiction the parents are subject to. Neither should it be considered a "legal loophole" for the circumvention of current law. Our Immigrationa and Naturalization Laws speak clearly on this matter.

Recognizing that there are actually five sections to the amendment, the first one addressed the issue of citizenship for those having been born in the United States under extenuating circumstances. It stemmed from the matter of whether the slaves then recently-freed under the 13th Amendment and the subsequent Emancipation Proclamation were to be considered citizens. In addition, the 14th Amendment was a formal document declaring the protection of blacks in general, in light of an increasingly hostile U.S. Supreme Court of that day.

It is often said that America is a nation of immigrants, but one thing must be clarified. Black Americans are not immigrants! Immigrants migrate from one part of the world to another. This includes even the "Native American" who is believed to have come to North America via the land bridge. However, they came willingly, on their own. Blacks, on the most part were brought to the Americas as unwilling slaves. This made their situation quite different from any other ethnic or racial group, no longer having knowledge of a home land or discernable links to family or kin. With their true ties to any of the African nations, and having been so brutally separated from family through slave auctions and trades for over two hundred years, the freed blacks truly were people without a home-- except for America itself. In contrast, today's illegal immigrant population chooses to come to America, and move back-and-forth to and from their native lands. Victims have no choices.

Therefore, the 14th Amendment's original intent was to clarify and secure the rights of black people in order to thwart the efforts of the southern democrats and northern sympathetizers who were still fighting to preserve an apartheid society. This amendment brought an end to the authority of the "Dread Scott Decision," which held that black people were not, and could not become citizens of the United States, nor enjoy any of the privileges and immunities of outright citizenship. Its purpose was specific and targeted for that reason, and fits no other case, although politicians and others have used the court system to secure the citizenship rights of other groups.

So the conclusion is this: America still is a nation of laws, and not of men. When properly and correctly interpreted and applied, the 14th Amendment serves its rightful purpose. However, to use it to get around our current immigration laws creates chaos and social unrest. When applied correctly and appropriately, the rights of those truly qualified for citizenship are secured, but when applied unjustly, the rights of all are infringed! Section 1 of the 14th Amendment should be viewed in light of its original intent, thus continuing to guarantee the rights of those meeting the real criteria as stipulated.

Why Truth in History?


We Texans have a strong tradition of appreciating our freedom and independence, and as an African American—a descendant of former slaves—the principles may have deeper meanings to me and those like me than those who have never had to live in a segregated society with limitations to where you can go and what you could do.
Let me give you a good illustration of what I mean. Our text books may tell the history of two Black Americas who became prominent leaders at the end of the 19th century and into the latter half of the 20th—W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington. Both were deeply concerned about the plight and the progress of blacks in America after Emancipation, and spent their lives seeking the improvement of the condition of black people. Both men are seen as great men, but there are questionable issues concerning the way the writers of history actually portray them. There are notable omissions about the lives of both men, which should cause suspicion and concern about the purpose and intentions of the writers.

Generally speaking, Mr. DuBois has always been portrayed as the great civil rights hero, and Mr. Washington a regionalized second-tier activist and generalized Uncle Tom. However, when one discovers the truth concerning certain key facts about these men, the most natural course of action should be to seek to find out “Why?”

It is most likely that those who fight and struggle to have certain textbooks selected and placed into our system understand the importance of history, and want to be certain that a certain perspective or ideology is taught. Sometimes truth is irrelevant because the idea becomes more important than the actual facts!

If our textbooks are to teach about W.E.B. DuBois, they must tell the entire story, not just partial generalities highlighting his “good points.” Certainly he was a leader in the black community, he fought for equal rights even through the court system, but none of the textbooks mention that W.E.B. Dubois believed that the system of communism was the best hope for America. Mr. DuBois praised Adolf Hitler and the social order of NAZI-ism. He was a devoted disciple of Chairman Mao of China and wrote favorably about how their educational system. In addition, DuBois even praised Joseph Stalin in spite of his brutality. To DuBois, the control of large populations was an attractive element in foreign lands that needed to be implemented in America. His admirers do not mention that he was a member of the Communist Party U.S.A. Neither do they include in their textbook biographies that he allegedly renounced his U.S. citizenship and became a citizen of the communist-ruled nation of Ghana.

Mr. Dubois was an evolutionist, who believed black improvement meant “breeding upwards.” He was one of Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger’s chief advisors on how to introduce population control into the African American community, and is attributed with the comment about the black population within the United States as “quantity, but not quality.” He sought to create a class of elite blacks he called the “Talented Tenth,” who would lead the black population because the average black person was intellectually incapable of leading themselves. The average citizen is unaware of these few facts about Dubois because today’s writers of history exclude such information. Should we know the full story of his life’s work?

On the other hand, the work of Booker T. Washington is consistently downplayed and under-reported. For example, most people know that he founded Tuskegee University. Mr. Washington believed in the education of black America and the establishment of a strong infrastructure within the black communities throughout the nation. On a personal note, Eula Johnson, my own grandmother (who died before I was born) was sent from the small farming community of Brazoria, Texas to Tuskegee to learn to be a seamstress some time before 1913.
He appealed to philanthropists like Julius Rosenwald of the Sears and Roebuck fortune. Mr. Rosenwald teamed up with Washington to create an extensive system of community-based public schools in the early 1900’s known as the Rosenwald Schools. With such financial contributions, nearly five thousand of these schools were built throughout the south and parts of the north. In Texas, these schools were also built. In West Columbia, one such building was located and restored. Mr. Washington was a devout Christian and believed that Biblical teaching was just as important as math and science. A requirement of each Tuskegee student was to attend regular church services and meetings on the campus.

So the way textbook authors depict history should always provoke the reader to understand their intention and purpose. It is obvious that each of these men saw things differently. It can be said that Dubois was a liberal, and Washington was a conservative. Dubois is more popular today because he is a hero of the left, who has controlled much of our media as well as public education system. For the same reason, Washington has been all but written out of history. However, I propose that in Texas, the work of Booker T. Washington has had a far greater impact upon its citizens than the Marxist ideology of W.E.B. Dubois.

So the matter before us as Texans today is textbook selection, which symbolizes our future investment: what type of citizens will we produce in the years to come? The content of these books will affect how future generations view our state and nation.
So if the Texas State Board of Education wants to include certain historical figures in the textbooks, first make sure that the entire history of their work and efforts are included. Let their ideologies be known and examined by the students. The objective of Dubois and the liberal left has been to change America into a system that is strange, alien and hostile to true freedom, while the goal of Booker T. Washington and the Christian conservative has been to make it better for all.

Is President Obama More Protective of Islam Than Americans

Look and listen.

The ovation and applause is not just an act of courtesy. When President Barrack Obama was making his apology tour through Cairo, Egypt, his words were obviously well-thought out and intentional.

He referred to the "Christmas Airline Bomber" incident as isolated. His Attorney General, Eric Holder has a history of being sympathetic to terrorists, seeking and acquiring the pardoning of members of the FALN, who were captured on video tape making bombs!

President Obama and his entire administration PLUS members in Congress have a hatred for America never before seen so obvious! As far as they are concerned, their enemies are the born again, Tea Party supporting Christians!

Operation Re-Exodus






After many years of prayerful observation and contemplation, through discernment, my spiritual insight speaks loudly and fearlessly concerning the anticipated rage and rejection to come. My greater fear is for the possible millions of people—especially within the African American community—being eternally lost through the false teachings and non-biblical doctrines encouraged and practiced today. Having at one time begun to even overcome the tragic legacy of slavery, became ensnared in the pits of government dependency, Marxist politicians and religious leaders steeped in Baalism. No other ethnic group living in the United States of America had excelled so profoundly, but yet has languished so consistently as black America has. Truly, there has been a detour to overall success for black America, with this phenomenon having occurred after the assignation of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.


Leading in practically all of the negative cultural indicators (i.e. crime, incarceration, poverty, illegitimate child births, unemployment, education, single-parent households, etc.), how could such a highly-religious population seem to reap so much of the bad fruit? I submit a need for either the leadership change, or a change in leadership through the inspiration of a process called “Operation Re-Exodus.”


The purpose of Operation Re-Exodus is to educate Christian pastors and leaders on the historical and spiritual significance of the relationship between blacks in America and the nation of Israel—particularly the Jewish people by encouraging, promoting, subsidizing and/or providing the means for visiting the Promised Land for a minimum time of one week. From this perspective, a person with the responsibility of leading God’s people could learn a part of world history uncensored and unhindered. A pastor would grow to appreciate the relationship between blacks and the Jewish people in Israel particularly.


It is becoming increasingly obvious that an unfortunate situation has evolved over the past fifty years, and must be corrected as soon as possible. It is a matter that plays a major role in the demise of many blacks in America: a slow but steady departure in sentiment and compassion for God’s chosen people, up to and including a total shift towards the religious systems which defiles and hates Jews more than any other ideology or philosophy of any other identifiable group—the Islamic faith!


Historically, American blacks—those who are descendants of slaves—and the Jewish people have shared a common thread interwoven with oppression, genocide and bondage! Thousands of years before Islam existed, Judaism did, and included a significant part of the African continent itself. Nearly 700 years before the prophet Mohammed established the Muslim faith, a group of mostly Jewish believers followed the instructions given to them by their Jewish leader received the power of the Holy Ghost on that particular day of Pentecost—thus giving birth to the church at Jerusalem. Yes, our Christian faith rests solely within our love and trust in the work and promises of Jesus—the Son of God—the Jew!


This belief in Jesus being the Son of God and the Savior of the World spread from Jerusalem throughout practically every civilization of the known world at that time! For the past forty years or so, these truths have been purposely down-played and diminished in black America because those who were entrusted to cherish, protect and uphold righteousness along with God’s holy word now exchange truth for lies—giving up the sacred anointing of being God’s servants in favor of prestige, power and position readily meted out by the ungodly left as rewards for good behavior like Pavlov’s dogs. In their eyes, race has become the religion as Afro-centrism and tolerance began to overshadow the primary principles necessary to reflect the born-again experience and personal victory over the flesh!


This abdication has resulted in a steady, consistent drift from sound doctrine, Holy Scripture and God’s protection towards passive apathy and resentment for the Jewish people. They have taken too lightly what has, in times past, what was readily seen as God’s unaltered promise in Genesis 12: 2-3…


And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou


shalt be a blessing: and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.


Historically, this divine proclamation has been as revered in the black Christian community as the 23 Psalm, once affirming a strong belief in God’s assurance whether it be through heritage or compassionate support.


Today, we see an entire generation that is totally oblivious to Israel’s history, and the Bible’s significance to the black community. This lack of knowledge and understanding has led to a nation of people susceptible to deceit and manipulation! For this reason, we see welcomed in our Christian pulpits murderous Marxists like Fidel Castro, antichrist spirits like Louis Farrakhan, and purveyors of ideologies and doctrines in flagrant opposition to God and God’s people! Let us not so quickly dismiss the possible connection associated with God’s declaration, but consider the possibility.


Although Israel’s very survival is threatened each day, as the Palestinian people are used as political and military pawns in the endless struggle for the very land itself, many within the black community have been convinced that the Jewish people are the sole source of the trouble and conflict in the Middle East! The compassion and sympathy that was once reserved for the Jewish has been transferred to the Palestinians, believing that it is the Jews who do not want peace and ownership of the entire country and region, while the opposite is actually the case! If there is any similarity between the Palestinian people and blacks in America is that both groups are easily manipulated by those who pretend to care for them!


The primary cause for this tragic digression is quite plain to see: since the increased popularity of the anti-Semitic black leaders such as Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright within the black communities across America, the general drift of the African American sentiment has been away from the preservation of the nation of Israel in favor of a mis-informed and deceptive degree of sympathy for the Islamic tide that is determined to conquer Israel, but the entire world as well! Even a casual observation tells us that popularity produces celebrity ship, and with the assistance of the paganistic news media, those mentioned as well as many others of the same ideology easily gain followings and national prominence. Even pastors who are noteworthy in their own merits have become “groupies” and fans of such deviations.


In times past, the real and true line of defense had been the strong black preacher, concrete and unyielding in his love and devotion to the Promised Land. The climax of the Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech paints a picture of a day when the oppressed and the former oppressor will live together in love. But today, the central gospel message has become perverted and in many communities, centers around language of Liberation and Replacement Theology with the ultimate goal being social justice instead of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ!


At one time, it could be said that the black preacher was a vigilant watchman on the wall, possessing a keen spirit of discernment, capable of recognizing the false prophets, the charlatans and the con artists. He used to take the word of God and address the issues of the day instead of allowing the issues to determine how he interpreted the Scriptures. The man of God would not allow wolves in sheep’s clothing to ascend into his pulpit and pretend to believe in the same God and Savior, but would expose them and seek to convert them instead of making unholy alliances. He quickly recognized that the slaughter of the unborn was a flagrant act of genocide against the very people he was ordained to shepherd, and resisted any system that required the bondage of men’s souls. In light of such dilemmas, the general summation is that along with the departure in support for Israel, many who now lead congregations simply “fell in line” with the popular movement of the extreme left.


What has been forgotten? First of all, many of us no longer recognize that it was the Muslim who was a critical component in the slave trade in Africa, venturing into the inner bowels of the continent and capturing natives to use as slaves. As the Islamic tide spread throughout the Middle East, Africa and southern Europe, the common method for its growth was through forced conversions. Muslims never enslaved fellow Muslims, so those who were captured and sold to the European slave traders had to have been either Jewish, Christian or practiced some form of animism. Non-Muslim captives were converted, killed or enslaved, so the sea of humanity forced into the slave industry comprised a major portion of the three groups mentioned. Additionally, inter-tribal warfare produced another reliable human stock for the slave traders, who sold them to the Europeans to be distributed throughout the empires including North and South America. So it would be reasonable to conclude that the Islamic thrust into the African continent played a major role in how black people came to America! How unfortunate it is today for so many of black America’s leaders to have failed to recognize or even acknowledge this matter?


For these reasons, I propose a new direction—a new direction, but an old and familiar path—the path back to God and our ancestral roots in Judaism! I propose a spiritual exodus from the land of liberalism that has enslaved our people for the past forty or so years, back to the Promised Land in order to begin the spiritual cleansing and consecration—a reclamation of our Christian roots and heritage from the true source— a recommendation of a new immersion process— Operation Re-Exodus is an invitation for pastors and ministers to begin a personal revival within themselves by acquainting themselves with their Judeo-Christian heritage at its source—the Holy City of Jerusalem!




As Jesus explained in John 8:31-32 “… If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”




With black America then being taught the truth by pastors intimately re-connected to Israel and the Jewish people will then be able to reject the false teachings and doctrines that now dominate the spiritual culture of the church. When the church stands and begins to recognize its own mystical superiority in the world, instead of depending upon the powers, principalities and the spiritually-wicked, then shall black America, and America itself experience that true promise that God has already set forth!
