There is a difference.
The main difference between liberalism and our democratic form of government is the former robs us of the right to express our God given individuality and the latter gives us freedom to discover, develop and demonstrate those divinely endowed talents. Liberals try and convince us that by denying our individuality we will "blend in" with others instead of causing them to feel "left out". We're told that by "leveling the playing field" we're producing fairness, equality, and peace. (As in Plato's description of creating a utopian state). What we're really producing is a people who can be freely manipulated and used by the ruling powers. This results in the loss of our ability to think for ourselves and a willingness to let others do our thinking for us. As so many in our present day society have allowed to happen to them already. and since The liberal media does their thinking for them now, they just "go along". Next will be chaos, as with any society which manipulates it's citizens soon will experience. Stopping the free thinking of individuals soon gives way to them being led by some fanatical pied piper. And as any societal scholar will tell you, that is what happened to Cuba. And Cuba is a perfect example of a society where a moronic pied piper led the unthinking masses to their destruction.
Yielding to the ambitions of liberalism results in mediocrity and a gradual overall loss of initiative and self respect. And as Ms. Spenser says, "suppressing individual specialness and our God given uniqueness to achieve unity would reverse the steady development mankind has experienced in the thousands of years since the days of Abraham". In spite of these verifiable historical truths, the left "still argues that unity, equality, inclusiveness and peace among men are best achieved by suppressing diversity, uniqueness and specialness". (Ms. Spenser's writings in quotations).
The liberals' message sounds good, kind, loving, caring and inclusive but instead is superficial and a subtle means of manipulating unsuspecting followers and gaining power and control for themselves. It's full of good intentions but results in costly failures, both to the economy and the human progress. We each one have an individual uniqueness. By denying our "specialness" (or being denied our specialness by the powers that be) in order to "blend in" we are denying our divine purpose and endangering the future of our country. We must constantly be alert to the harmful suggestions of the far left and constantly build a defense against them. We must protect and honor our God given individualities and not concede them to a "nanny" government.

wild pigs
A thought to remember, Marx said:
"Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."
There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.
One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.
He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food.
"When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.
"They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.
"The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to share this with your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably not share this.
BUT, God help us all when the gate slams shut!

Nothings Changed Except Everything
What to write about? There's so much going on, so many revelations that it's hard to narrow it down to one item. Let's see, the Emir, scuse me, the president has convinced us that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, white cops are cold blooded murders of black innocents, and it only took 1 month for him to blind the GOP as to meaning of the 2014 victory. This latter topic really gets me boiling. Today's GOP leadership knows nothing but "hands up, I surrender". The dems have laughingly set back in disbelief and watched these empty suits almost totally destroy conservatism, the very foundation of the party. Even tho landslide elections in 2010 and 2014 have vividly illustrated that the vast number of Americans prefer conservatism to liberalism, the RINOs just don't get it. The people said "stop Obama and his policies"! They think the people said compromise with the liberals and quit being obstructionists.
Mark Styne said only 1 election in recent years really changed the direction of the country. The election of Ronald Reagan. Obama made the 2010 GOP landslide victory meaningless by governing in total defiance of the law and the constitution. The GOP, with the passage of the Omnibus Bill fully funding Obama's immigration order and ObamaCare, have proven the 2014 landslide victory meaningless. Unbelievably 20 republican senators voted with Obama and against the overwhelming wishes of the American people.
Of course we hear that this is not the time to take a stand. Wait until 2015 and then we'll make our stand. Since Obama took office in 2008 we've continuously watched the republicans say, "now isn't the right time". Unfortunately, the "right time" has never materialized for this group of sell outs.
The question obviously is, do we have any patriotic, value based republicans left with courage, initiative and leadership? Can you name the ones who do? Lets see, there's Cruz, Goudy, Lee and a handful of others. Fat chance the doormat wing of the democrat party (our beloved RINOs) would ever support any of these guys as our presidential nominee. No, they're more apt to join the democrats in trashing them into obscure footnotes.
If the founding fathers had been like our GOP leadership, and the people who support them, we'd still be under British rule. We are facing the most critical time in our history. Islamic Jihad attacks on our homeland, blacks out to destroy "white" America, rampant immorality, socialist/Marxists controlling our media, education, judiciary, and government in general, and we have nobody (very few) willing to stand up and save the country from this liberal cancer. Nope, saving the party and controlling all the power, that's what's important. God help us..
Read your Bible....pay attention.... The word from God is all there:
Isa 37:25 I have dug wells in foreign lands and drunk the water there. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.'
Isa 37:26 "Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it. In days of old I planned it; now I have brought it to pass, that you have turned fortified cities into piles of stone.
Isa 37:27 Their people, drained of power, are dismayed and put to shame. They are like plants in the field, like tender green shoots, like grass sprouting on the roof, scorched before it grows up.
Isa 37:28 "But I know where you are and when you come and go and how you rage against me.
Isa 37:29 Because you rage against me and because your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will make you return by the way you came.

We are reaping what we sow and God will turn his wrath against us if we continue to mock him. We have a president who is a fool, a congress who cares not for anyone but their own, and a house whose job it is to not oppose our ignorant, defiant, emperor for fear that they may lose what they have. We have no one to lead us and God will destroy us if we continue in our obstinence against him.
Isa 30:1 "Woe to the obstinate children," declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin;
We could go on for hours but I think we already know what is going to happen if this country does not turn back to God as our leader, defender, and friend. He will allow our destruction.

What is the truth? Definition Please.
Dec 2 at 6:29 PM
I don't always agree with Charles Barkley but he hit the nail on the head when being interviewed on a local Philly radio station. Something to the effect that Ferguson protestors aren't blacks, they're "scumbags". He went on to say (sic), "what would our inner cities be like if there were no cops. They'd be like the old west."Yes, and he said that he spoke his mind and that he
All one has to do is to observe the Ferguson unrest and see the outrage that blacks are experiencing even in the face of the truth that the black bully that was killed was in fact on drugs (marijuana, PHP) and had enough of it in his system to be hallucinating. That is the truth. And another fact, is that the bully had just robbed a convenience store and assaulted the clerk who had tried to stop him from stealing a box of cigars. There is video evidence of that event. That is the truth. There is also evidence of his parading down the middle of the street, the reason for the policeman to have stopped, was to seek to avoid a tragedy of him being run over and a real incident being started. That is the truth. And If there is a convenience store on a street, no matter where it is, you can be sure of one thing. A lot of traffic is on that street or the store would not be there. We are not talking about a rural community of just three or four stores, we are talking about a busy suburb of St.Louis. That is the truth. As to the rumor of his being shot in the back, and of his hands being in the air. No one has evidence of that false representation, and those statements are proven to be lies and rumors. Further evidence from the scene, his DNA in the police car, the struggle he had with the officer of the law who has stopped him. because he was breaking the law, and the wounds to his hand, and his body would indicate that there must have been a struggle. That forensic evidence suggests that the officer of the law was telling the truth about being rushed and accosted by the insolent law breaking 300 lb. bully. The officer of the law, did not stand over him and shoot him several times. and that testimony is believable. And further testimony suggests he was reputed to be a trouble maker, and not a gentle giant.
Obama has shown us just how objective he is regarding race relations when Al Sharpton (i.e. the black Yassar Arafat) has been to the WH 82 times as a "race relations advisor". He meets Obama's requirements: White hater, America hater, "scumbag" revolutionary who wants to destroy the country.
With all the rhetoric about what happened in Ferguson, it's expected that the blacks don't believe anything said in the Grand Jury testimonies, and if the whites do believe it that just proves they're racists. It's obvious that Obama, Holder, Sharpton and their Marxist followers want to use this event to further separate the races, just as Sal Alinsky proposed. However, it's my opinion that the motive for their racial hatred towards whites goes beyond this. I think the agenda here is nationalizing law enforcement just as they've nationalized health care, education, media, environment, oil/gas/coal production, etc. Obama has already started the ball rolling by insinuating that the police are the problem (not the black rioters, drug dealers, looters, arsonists, crooks, etc), and has suggested enacting federal laws that train law enforcement to be more attuned to and understanding of black "plight". In other words it's law enforcement's job to "make friends" with black communities. His $75M for body cameras is a joke. The soul purpose of that is to control and punish the cops.
Remember in his 2007 campaign he said we needed a civilian military as well funded, armed and manned as the national military? By nationalizing law enforcement, his goal could very well be achieved.
I think it's time to acknowledge that the bulk of racial problems in this country are not due to white racism, it's due to the hip hop, in your face, drug infested, gang infested, criminal culture that's grown out of the inner city. Is it any wonder that responsible whites and blacks are afraid of the violence that could be directed at them at any moment for any reason?
Let's not forget that the big losers in today's racial unrest are the responsible, productive, patriotic blacks who want to live in peace and see their kids get the same opportunity. Good luck with that.
