+ AGENDA FOR THIS WEEK’S MEETING
Our 12 noon luncheon for Wednesday, November 4th will be held at
Italiano’s restaurant, 4801 North Lincoln in OKC. Our speaker this
week will be OKC businessman Moshe Tal. Mr. Tal has probably been
abused by government through the process of “eminent domain” more than
any other citizen in Oklahoma. Having heard his story, with 2 active
law suits still on going, I believe that some of the good “old boys”
who control city hall, influenced government to steal prime brick town
property from Mr. Tal. Perhaps it was done to teach him a lesson about
not going along to get along as well as the ingratiate themselves.
Please don’t miss this meeting, it is important to understand how the
elitist appear to throw moral goodness aside in their quest to sculpt
the future of OKC.
I also want to thank Mr. Gill Hensley, OKC police officer and
President of the OKC Fraternal Order of Police, for clearing his
schedule last week at the last minute to come and speak at OCPAC. Key
point, the FOP never asked for a raise for police during contract
negotiations, but rather have the city find a way to increase the
number of officers on the streets. The number of officers have only
increased 1% over the past 20 years, while at the same time the
population has increased about 100,000, thus increasing their work
load significantly. Several weeks ago the FOP, along with the
firefighters, voted NOT to support MAPS 3. Mr. Hensley did a good job
of explaining why. To my knowledge, the Oklahoman has still failed to
report this significant news story!
+ ANNOUNCEMENTS
PURCELL OK - I will be conducting another introduction to activism
through the John Birch Society meeting, 7:00 p.m. in the conference
center at the First American Bank, Main street and Lester Lane. The
most radical leftists, socialists, Marxists and Communists are now in
control of our nation. Many of these are Godless and immoral people
who have a very different vision for America, far different from the
values and principles of our Founding Fathers. If you live in the
area, please make every effort to attend, these people must be
stopped.
OKC AREA - Our good friend, Jerry Fent, constitutionalist citizen
watchdog, has just brought a legal action against Governor Brad Henry,
ET AL regarding stimulus money coming into Oklahoma. Even though
President Obama and the Democrats have directed much of that money
into the hands of the Governor and other assorted bureaucrats, that
method seems to fly into the face of Oklahoma’s State Constitution.
Fent is claiming that Article 10, section 23 of Oklahoma’s
Constitution requires all of those monies to be budgeted by the
legislature. He will deliver oral argument before a referee, November
4, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. I believe the Supreme Court chambers are on the
2nd or 3rd floor at the Capitol. If you have time please attend to
keep an eye on the performance of our highest court. I predict they
will stall on this decision to allow as much of the money as possible
to be spent before they make a decision.
OKC AREA - Various tea party groups are hosting the Tea Party
Express bus traveling cross country raising objections to the liberal
socialist health care reform as well as cap and trade legislation now
in Congress. The bus will stop in OKC this Wednesday evening, November
4th at 6:00 p.m.. The location is the North Plaza of the State
Capitol. They have a program planned with speakers and entertainment.
It is important to attend so the Marxists in Washington know we
haven’t fallen asleep. The only area of concern I have is to make sure
this movement isn’t co-opted by elements promoting a Constitutional
Convention. Those rumblings are out there from various sources. Such a
move would be disastrous in today’s political and cultural climate. A
con-con is a horrible idea and very dangerous.
CRESCENT OK - Thursday night November 5th at 7:00 p.m. there will be
a town hall meeting at the community center. Speaking will be State
Representative Jason Murphy (R-Guthrie), State Senator Patrick
Anderson (R-Enid) and the local County Commissioner. These meetings
are very informative and allow for questions to be asked of your
elected officials.
YUKON OK - Thursday night November 5th at 7:00 p.m., Bob Donohoo
will be conducting an introduction to activism through the John Birch
Society meeting. The location will be Trinity Baptist Church, 600
North Cemetery Rd (Garth Brooks Blvd. about 8 blocks South of I-40). I
can’t express how important it is to organize and get involved. The
future of our nation is at risk and we can’t re-claim it without being
organized and active in effective organizations. Please attend and
check it out for yourself. Bob does an excellent job of presenting the
Society and its activities.
TULSA AREA - Friday evening, November 6, the Augustine Christian
Academy will host their annual fundraising banquet at the Renaissance
Tulsa Hotel, 6807 S. 107 East Ave. The speaker will be Mart Green, of
Hobby Lobby and Mardels. The Green family rescued ORU from financial
ruin and Mr. Green now sits as Chairman of the Board of the
University. We had Mart speak at OCPAC a few years ago and found him
to be a very inspiring Christian. Anyone attending will be blessed and
support an excellent school which operates under the Christian
Classical Education model. The tickets are only $25. For more
information and reservations call
(918) 832-4600 or
www.acutulsa.org.
TULSA AREA - A new organization, the Oklahoma Second Amendment
Association,
www.ok2a.org will host a Gun Rights Rally. It will be
Saturday, November 7th, 10:00 a.m. at the Tulsa Tech Career Services
Center, 3420 South Memorial Drive. The keynote speaker will be Larry
Pratt, founder and director of Gun Owners of America. GOA is the “no
comprise” defender of the Second Amendment and in my opinion a far
superior organization ideologically speaking than the NRA. Also
speaking will be Senator Randy Brogdon (R-Owasso) and Representative
Mike Ritze (R-Broken Arrow).
OKC AREA - The same organization mentioned above will also host a
similar meeting this Saturday evening, November 7th at 7:00 p.m. in
the Character First Center, 520 West Main in downtown OKC. Along with
the keynote speaker Larry Pratt, will be Senator Brogdon and this time
State Representative Jason Murphy (R-Guthrie). I hope as many people
as possible will attend these meetings in your part of the state. I
will be joining and supporting this new organization asap.
+ RESPONSES TO MY STATEMENTS ABOUT GLEN BECK
Last week I mentioned that I had become a convert to the Glen Beck TV
show. One friend wrote something like, I told you so 3 years ago, why
didn’t you listen to me then? On the other side of the coin a reader
sent me 2 or 3 very well written e-mails about the mistake I had made.
The main e-mail suggested a concern that because of Beck’s
relationship to Rupert Murdock and Roger Ailes, that he may be nothing
more than a pied piper to lead people who are upset today, back into
the Republican fold in time for next year’s election.
He was concerned that Beck might be little more than a “containment
agent” to provide very good programming about the radical liberals,
Marxists, fascists and Communists who now control Washington. Those
are all important aspects of our enemies. However, this individual
suggested that if Beck never dealt with those organizations within our
nation that have a globalist agenda, then Beck would never get to the
heart of the matter in his excellent exposés.
Those organization would be groups like The Council on Foreign
Relations, The Trilateral Commission, the Yale University secret
society known as Skull and Bones, the Bildebergers, and perhaps
others. I know, one is not supposed to suggest these organizations
have any power or are detrimental to our nation, to do so will get you
labeled as a conspiracy nut. However, every organization that exists
does so for a purpose and has an agenda. A little research on the
power and influence of these organizations by intellectually honest
people desiring to understand the truth, might reveal rational people
are concerned about these organizations and with good reason.
Only time will tell regarding Beck. I do have hope that he will go
deeper than the surface, deeper than the superficial. Part of the
reason for my hope is a radio program of his I heard about 4 months
ago (while I like his TV program, I don’t like his radio program and
rarely listen).
However, there was this one day that he was talking about a book
written with a plan to convert America into a socialist utopia as
envisioned by Karl Marx. He kept quoting from the book and telling his
listeners, this is exactly what has happened. Beck kept saying that
what the author envisioned years ago is here today and the steps to
get to today were laid out in the book.
So what was the book? It was none other than Philip Dru:
Administrator, written by Colonel Edward Mandell House in 1912. House
was President Woodrow Wilson’s right hand man, some have even
suggested his alter ego. More importantly, House founded the Council
On Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921. Today it is the most influential
organization in America working toward integrating American into
first, a regional and then eventually into a one world global
socialist society. What Beck is doing today is good, if he really gets
into the heart of the matter it will be great. If he doesn’t, he will
be little more than another version of Sean Hanity, Rush Limbaugh or
others. Time will tell, in the mean time take him for what is good and
you will have to dig a little deeper to understand the total picture.
May I suggest reading the book Phillip Drew Administrator and even
more importantly SHADOWS OF POWER by James Perloff.
+ MIKE CHRISTIAN EXERCISING SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
There was an article in the paper recently about State Representative
Mike Christian (R-South OKC) having special permission to carry a
weapon into the State Capitol, though citizens with concealed carry
permits are not allowed that permission. Representative Christian is a
retired highway patrol trooper and as such falls into a special
category for retired or active duty law enforcement.
Mike said he began to carry a weapon as a result of death threats
after he spoke at a hearing to make English the official language of
Oklahoma. Other retired law enforcement officers, now serving as
lawmakers (all Democrats) were interviewed and said they felt safe at
the Capitol without being armed. Christian said, and with good reason,
that he didn’t like to leave a weapon in a locked auto, but locks it
in a cabinet once in the Capitol. It is really not about being safe at
the Capitol as much as it is, where are you going to leave a firearm
if you can’t even take it onto government property, yet you need it
once you are on the tough streets at home in your district?
Many of our laws regarding the ability to own and carry arms are
antiquated and emanate from irrational fear. Sally Kern, Tim Pope and
many other lawmakers have been the target of death threats over the
years. What is needed is to liberalize (can’t believe I used that
word) existing gun laws to allow for all law abiding citizens (not
just law enforcement personnel) to be able to carry guns anywhere on
government property in which they believe they or someone else might
be in danger. This especially applies to government property. To do
anything else, is to deny people from being able to protect themselves
and others and that is evil.
+ NEW YORK 23RD DISTRICT, THE PERFECT POLITICAL STORM
Most people who keep up with what is going on in the world, know about
the special election in upstate New York to fill the recently vacated
Congressional seat for District 23. This race has national
implications which many believe will be a harbinger for the 2010
elections and the rebuilding of the Republican party.
Republican candidate Scozzafava is (though the election is Tuesday,
she has just shut down her campaign) an ultra liberal Republican
picked to be the Republican candidate. This was done by a select
committee of party establishment types looking for a Republican
victory. She was not elected by a vote of the people in a Republican
primary. The party conservatives as well as folks affiliated with the
tea parties and the 912 project said no more to these Republicans In
Name Only (RINOs).
They fielded a conservative 3rd party candidate and drew a line in the
sand. They said the party hasn’t learned its lesson as yet. They have
said, we will no longer be kept on the “plantation” of, no where else
to go with my vote. They have said, no more Republicans are going to
get my vote unless they actually are conservative. These voting
citizens have become principled, saying to the party, we will give
even more seats to the Democrats if you keep giving us these crappy
candidates, that is unless the more moderate Republicans are willing
to back a conservative candidate.
Once radio talk show hosts and Fox commentators as well as high
profile conservatives all over America began to endorse the
Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman, he began to rise in the
polls and has just now inched ahead of the Democrat at the expense of
the liberal Republican.
If the Conservative party candidate wins this election, it will be a
huge message to the establishment Republicans and especially to
President Obama and the other Democrats considering the continuation
of their liberal agenda. Republicans should end the debate as to how
to re-brand the party. All future candidates should be fiscal
conservatives, social conservatives and national sovereignty
conservatives at the same time. Those are the kind of candidates
capable of building a big tent party that attracts the widest possible
groups of interests. At the same time it would cause the Republicans
to become a party that would govern conservatively in all 3 areas of
government.
+ HATE CRIMES PASSES, LOCAL HOMO’S STILL FULL OF VITRIOL
This past week President Obama signed legislation that had hate crimes
added to it through the amendment process. Pastor Paul Blair of
Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond spoke out against the legislation,
explaining some of the ways the new law will likely be interpreted and
end up eventually punishing Christian pastors as well as Biblical
Christians.
On a local Democrat blog site, they attack Blair as being stupid and
even worse. They paint with a broad brush and suggest Blair simply
joins other nut cases such as Sally Kern, Janet Folger, David Barton,
Bill Federer, Rick Scarbrough and others. Put me on record as liking
everyone of those folks, I want to be counted among their ranks. By
the way, we have had every one of them as a speaker at OCPAC over the
years. One of those commenting on the Democrat blog warned that he had
observed these people up close and that they were serious and should
not be taken lightly.
He talked about attending last year’s Re-claiming Oklahoma for Christ
conference and was sickened by what he saw. He suggested that he could
tell we “hate” homosexuals, because that is how we refer to them
rather than use the word “gay.” I understand how people who have been
given over to a reprobate mind have a difficult time properly
understanding issues. Let me try to help.
The word homosexual is the proper dictionary word to define a person
who has sex with a person of the same sex. The word “gay“ means happy
and light hearted. Today that word has been stolen by the homosexuals
to put the best spin possible on their unhappy lifestyle. It is a
perversion of the word “gay” to use it in reference to homosexuals. To
use words like fags, faggots, queers and etc. might be an indication
that a person hates homosexuals.
As a Christian we are taught to love a sinner, but hate the sin, no
matter what that sin may be. In all reality, all homosexuals are
victims of a lie. That lie being that they aren’t in rebellion towards
God in the practice of their lifestyle, that they have no choice to
overcome that lifestyle, no matter how inclined toward it they may
happen to be. There are many who have overcome that sin and now live
in a happy relationship with God. There are many pastors and
Christians as well as organizations like First Stone Ministries
willing to help homosexuals overcome their lifestyle.
