By Rev. Lainie Dowell

Our country is going to Hell in a hand basket. Every part of the lives of citizens has been severely impacted. Is there any wonder so many people are expressing how fed up they are with the ongoing degradation of societal morals, mores, traditions, and values pushing them closer to the brink?

Past, and now, current policies and regs continue to be imposed on us by elected, unelected, and unvetted power-hungry men and women crammed into the inner circles of this government's crumbling infrastructure. They are helping to complete the long-term, unAmerican agenda of Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle and their many partnerships, designed to utterly destroy our constitution and nation. Moreover, this present administration had been instrumental in leading the down hill spiral even before Obama's name became known nationally in 2004, when he spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Indeed, he's still playing his blame and shame game and it does not seem to matter to him that the evidence from his own mouth and actions refute his allegations.

Despite its seriousness the hard won right to vote which is the mechanism used to ensure the freedoms "We the people" have enjoyed for decades, has become the underground joke of the day. Each election season has brought a whole host of ravishers who delight to game the system in order to achieve an unfair political advantage even when it is not merited. What's more, too many years have gone by without there being a resolution or redress to this pernicious problem.

VOTER FREEZE OUT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE FREE STATE

During the September 14, 2010, Primary Election held in Maryland, aka "The Free State," I got a heavy dose of what I call "the voter freeze out," which has been experienced by people all across this land and beamed on TV throughout the nation, as showing people in confusion and disarray when, in fact, the actual problem emanated from among the polling place workers where they showed up to cast their vote. As a result of my experience, I conducted a mere two-hour online search and found there are viable answers available to resolve many of these questionable actions that are sure to take place at the various polls rather than making voters wait and to possibly create the stuff that lawsuits are made of.

I had eagerly awaited the 2010 primary election date. When I arrived at the polling place, I immediately handed the registration verifier my drivers license. I also had my sample ballot in my hands. The man took my license and proceeded to punch the screen in front of him. While I waited, he took about five minutes doing I don't know what. Finally (with my license still in his hand), he asked my address and I told him. He asked my date of birth and I told him. But, I was puzzled, because that information was on my license in his hand. Finally, he asked my political affiliation and I told him. Lastly, he printed out a slip of paper and told me to "sign here." I did, and he gave me a card ballot and pointed me in the direction of another person to go cast my ballot.

The woman met me halfway, took my slip of paper, had me keep the card ballot and pointed me to the voter machine, number ZERO. Oddly enough, I felt like a ZERO as I approached that machine to cast (what I thought was) my ballot, which I placed in the machine. Unfortunately, although I then noticed the first page on the screen did not say the same as my sample ballot, I assumed it would continue onto the next screen so I checked off the names and hit "continue." Instead of seeing the rest of my ballot, the machine displayed a political affiliation that was not mine and showed my vote had been cast. I knew something was wrong and I immediately alerted the woman poll worker and the man at the registration table, also. And I was escorted over to the poll judge's table, where I explained the problem.

During that exchange I learned that the man I had given my license to had mistakenly printed out my mother-in-law's ballot and given it to me and that was what I had signed without first examining it. After my father-in-law died almost 10 years ago, we moved my mother-in-law to live together in the same house. My mother-in-law does not have the same political affiliation as I (nor the political proclivity as I), and she had not planned to vote in that Primary at all. But the more I pointed out the error and tried to get this issue corrected, the more the poll workers told me I had already voted, that the machine had registered my vote, and that they couldn't get it out of the machine or discard it. Instead, they told me I shouldn't have cast the vote since it wasn't my ballot card. That time turned out to not be a pleasant episode at the polls.

I told the poll workers they had to correct the matter, because it was not my ballot or my vote and the count would not be right for the polling place. Then (while still at the polls), I spoke via phone to the local election board, the state election board, and to the poll judge. They all acknowledged the mistake had been made by the poll worker and that they had specifically warned them against the possibility of such an occurrence during the previous night's training session of poll workers. They all insisted I could not get my ballot and that I would have to now cast my vote via a paper ballot -- a provisional ballot. I rejected that response at every turn. I told them my ballot was still in the registration files, uncast, and all they had to do was to give me my ballot so I could vote.

After about an hour at the polls without benefit, I made certain they had all indicated in their reports that I had strongly objected to not being able to have my ballot since the error was not mine and I had done all I was supposed to do. I told them, further, that I felt disenfranchised, and would not vote in the Primary. I told them I did not want to vote a provisional ballot, because if a more viable answer came later, then they would not be able to accuse me of incorrectly following an incorrect procedure that I had called wrong as they had accused me of (unknowingly) casting that wrong ballot handed to me by the poll worker. I went home and went online and, in less than two hours, I discovered evidence that I had been right about my not voting with a paper (provisional) ballot and the poll workers and officials had given me incorrect information. They were not helpful at all. And I was without a voice in the election.

My not being able to vote in the Maryland Primary because of unchecked poll worker error is not pretty. It is not funny. It is not the American way. So, why haven't our constitutionally elected House of Representatives and the Senate (as the Legislative Branch), fought harder to ensure that the rule of law is not finagled with to suit anybody's personal tastes and ideologies but remains true to the intent and content of the United States Constitution? After all, Article I of the Constitution places that branch of government before the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch.

Who Are Watching People Who Are Supposed to Watch Out For Us?

As I was working to resolve the poll situation about my ballot, a woman came in and told the poll judge she was an "evaluator," and she had a clipboard. The poll judge told her she had to wait. I asked if she was an evaluator and she said she was. Then when I said I wanted to speak with her, the poll judge and his (apparently) assistant, nixed that idea quick and wouldn't let me speak with her! I don't know her name or where she came from or where she went after she left my polling place.

How many times have we heard that our elected leaders and others act as if they are above the law? Our country has been turned upside down, and so many people have fallen through the cracks. Or should that be, by crack?, because somebody must be smoking something that's not a name brand. And, what about the citizens held captive in their falling down, blighted neighborhoods where elected leaders have literally stolen our taxpayer money they received to be expended toward shoring up their communities? Instead, cronyism and nepotism have led to nationwide corruption of monumental proportions from the top down while our local, state, and national leaders have closed themselves away from the dreaded sights that they have created. Yet, they remain in office? Based on what?! Voter Apathy? Complacency? Ignorance? No! It is state-operated disenfranchisement, and to whom do we complain?

I'm also not that thrilled about how the Howard County GOP office responded, when I called to report what had happened at the poll in my district and precinct. It sounded as if the woman who answered the phone was consulting an attorney while I was on the other end of the line. They, also, had insisted my only recourse was to fill out a paper (provisional) ballot. And when I said I would not vote in the Primary, it didn't help to have the impression of an attitude coming through the telephone which may as well have been, "So what! After all, what's one vote?!" Well, with my online research I also discovered that one source reports that "over one million votes have been lost due to poll worker error." I am suspect of that study and the recommendations to specifically get young college students to volunteer to be poll workers. The language (to me) mirrors what we know of the Obama ACORN poll watcher trainees and that is not going to help lift declining confidence in how government is conducting their business (or not) these days.

Instead of their introducing so many "creative" ways for people to vote, this nation had better get the voter process straightened out first. We have people coming out of the woodwork who have identified so many flaws in the system that can aid them to squeak through with their agendas to overturn this nation. How do you suppose Obama was able to lead the way and show them how to get over with his Saul Alinsky methodology? Americans had better pay attention and call government employees to accountability. There must be no more free rides for any of them to remain comfortably in their seats of responsibility without carrying out their responsibilities in a responsible way. We need to continue to hold them accountable, ask questions, expect viable answers, and live free from fear of our government and forces from without and within.

In Howard County, Maryland, we pay too much money to live here and we get too little to no services or support from our local and state government. And as for our United States congresspersons and Senators, too, you can forget about it unless you know prominent Clergy or business people who can help those officials and cover for them. It's time to draw all of their do-nothing days and do-nothing ways to a close! We are losing respect for them faster with each passing day and we are demonstrating that we are getting tired of trying to protect their persona by keeping (relatively) quiet about their lack of paying attention to their constituent needs on the domestic side. So, before they take up Obama's global, one-world lifestyle, they need to look inward and turn back to promoting what has made America great! God. Family. Country. Patriotism.

What's more, there are too many reporters hiding throughout the monopolistic news media who refuse to even answer their phone calls unless they can be assured the callers will show the kinds of dregs of society which will draw high ratings and readership or viewership for their bureaus. Then they will milk the matter dry before they drop the callers from off their radar screen and leave them cold and without any resolution to their problem. They need to use every resource available to them on their job to investigate toward cleaning up the outrageous lack of accountability of "the government of the people, by the people, and for the people."

AMERICA!
A PROPHETIC WORD AND 911 TRIBUTE

Written By Rev. Lainie Dowell

Note:

I wrote this reprinted prophetic message as it was revealed to me on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And I remain restless and still. Even so, Americans Bless Our God.

Thus saith the Lord.

As revealed by the Hand of the Lord to be a blessing to waiting hearts.

The fabric of America is strong. Faith is her best suit. Family values is her cloak. Chastity is her undergarment. Righteousness is her finest dress. Earth contains her bedrock, but she rests in the bosom of Abraham. Peace is her shadow that follows and covers her back. Strength is embedded in her feet.

~ YES AND . . .

Note: I wrote this reprinted article and originally posted it on my former Firebrands Christian ClergyWomen Support Network/Resources site on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I later learned that a female church parishioner I had recently talked with was on the flight that hit the Pentagon. She was a beautiful spirit-filled teacher travelling with a couple of her young students on the way to receive rewards. My experience on that day is shared below (on this site), because the Geo-Yahoo servers have now shut down and I have not yet reconstructed my sites online elsewhere. Look for them soon! Join us there. God bless you. God bless America. God bless Americans. Thank you for sharing again in 2010, as we remember.

Obama And Islam Unite In Damnable Partnerships To Trash America

By Rev. Lainie Dowell

[Updated Thursday, September 16, 2010, 3: P.M. EST]

LATEST NEWS: MSNBC reported " Pastor Terry Jones says he will not burn Quran." Last week Jones said Imam Musri of Florida Mosque "lied" to him that they'd attend a meeting with Imam in New York.

GOD BLESS PASTOR AND MRS. TERRY JONES AND CHURCH FAMILY FOR TAKING THEIR COMMITTED FAITH STAND, AS WE REMEMBER 9/11!

Now ~ Anybody who dares to use unconstitutional means to create so-called rights for special interest groups, does a grave disservice to the nation. Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg (Mayor of New York) have shamefully spoken out publicly to defend the "right" of Muslims to build their Mosque at Ground Zero in New York. At the same time, we are well aware of the many corrupt and unconstitutional political manipulations to systematically relieve American citizens of our own legitimate rights, while those men cradle our taxpayer dollars to their bosoms and work to subjugate us in America rather than to adhere to the oaths they took to defend us and for Obama to preserve our Constitution and not to unilaterally and arbitrarily allow it to be changed, as he sees fit!

September 11, 2001 Is Remembered In 2010, While Terrorists Have Openly Attacked Our Shores Once More And Wreak Havoc Throughout the Nation

Imam Abdul Rauf's ongoing agenda to grind America's face in the dirt and under his feet is personal and political with him and his wife and their many "partnerships." Rauf's true purpose, as with Barack Hussein Obama's, has nothing to do with first amendment rights to worship where, when, and how they choose to do so in America. Muslims reportedly have established more than 2,000 Mosques across America. Inside of those Mosques, Muslims are deemed to be safely hidden away from governmental review, which leaves them free to operate politically under the guise of being a non-profit, tax-exempt religious organization. The Islamic Holy Land Foundation operated in the same way in America until this government finally shut them down and arrested the Muslims who were fundraising to finance the terrorist group, Hamas.

Imam Abdul Rauf cannot speak against himself, which is to say, it is an established fact that he is an integral part of the Muslim Brotherhood established in Egypt to ensure that their Shariah Law would be the only law adhered to all over this world. Rauf was born in Egypt where he also worked to help tear down that national political foundation by establishing Mosques and filling them up by the use of propagandist rhetoric and recruitment. The Brotherhood openly and forcefully denigrated the Egyptian culture and reformed it in such a way that the people there would have to look to the Muslim Brotherhood and their many "partnerships" for all of their daily sustenance rather than to live under the orderly process originally incorporated in their own constitutional government.

Since long before 1998, Imam Abdul Rauf has moved to create a Muslim state within the United States and to ultimately overrun America with Muslims and finally force Shariah Law to replace our constitutionally established capitalist free market system. It has been well documented how they have destroyed the Egyptian government by working on the youth, and through the universities. Moreover, they are continuing to work on the large professional associations to get their memberships to commit totally to the Muslim Brotherhood to finally capture what, for them, remains their greatest pearl in all the world; namely, AMERICA! [Source: "Political Islam: Essays from Middle East Report" Edited by Joel Beinin and Joe Stork (c) 1997 by the Middle East Research and Information Project, Washington, DC. - paraphrased portions]

Muslim leaderships have torn apart their own Middle Eastern nations and, also, the European and Asiatic nations by gaining political power in the name of Allah and religion. They imitate the Judeo-Christian faith to appear to be compatible with our beliefs in order to ease into America's good graces and lull the gullible into a stupor. Through fomenting division and infighting among the people and also by allowing radicals to tear political and religious foundational truths apart, they know they can generate enough support from among the electorate to win political offices and adversely affect our policies. And now they claim to be seeking shelter in America while they continue scheming to take over in America. They are here only because of our God's love and His mercy through our faith and benevolence. And, like snakes, they have turned on us while Obama, Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, news commentator-reporters, members of our Congress and Senate, and even many of the American people act oblivious to their deliberate intent.

Muslims and their supporters have no more right to scheme and connive against the American Constitution and our rule of law in order for them to build their Mosque anywhere in this nation without accountability any more than homosexuals have a right to "marry" another person of the same sex as their own. Where there is no such right available to them for their purpose by taking legal means, manipulating our legislative process to write and enforce such laws to circumvent our historical, societal and cultural traditions is unlawful and, therefore, illegitimate and criminal. And furthermore, it could be neither moral nor spiritual.

I reject the false assertions put forth by Mosque advocates and maintain that no such right exists any more than it would for the Black Muslims to have such a right bestowed upon them to be able to pump their fists in the air and shout "Black Power!" in the face of voters to intimidate them as they approached their polling places during elections. That would be a criminal act.

In other words, Muslims have no more right to build their Mosque at or any where near Ground Zero against the express wishes of American citizens and families who were victimized on September 11, 2001. All who actually witnessed the radical Islamic terrorists destroy so many lives on that bright, blue sunny morning over the skies of new York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia (outside of D.C.) are counted among the victimized. No longer must American citizens be silent and allow people to use their Trojan horse excuses such as sexual deviancy, diversity, perversion, civil rights and human rights to aid them in seeking rights for themselves made out of wrongs! Their sole intent is to cloud our constitutional foundation of moral, ethical, and legal clarity and our overall national sanity so they can let politicos and schemers blatantly abuse their authority, with impunity and without credibility, to legalize their illegal behavior. Any such action would be unconstitutional.

The American news media needs to stop defending Obama in his propaganda mode and begin to honestly and earnestly investigate him to open up his not so secret closets. And, by the way, now Minister Louis Farrakhan (Chicago, IL) has just popped out and appeared at the Washington, D.C. National Press Club where he vehemently threatened America's sovereignty and the Republic. What more do people need to know about Obama and his many "partnerships" for them to start protecting our freedoms?

But for the November 4, 2008, election of Barack Hussein Obama, America would never have been in such a domestic battle for her sovereignty as a Constitutional Republic with a representative government. Obama's unAmerican tactics have been uncovered in so many ways from before his 2008 campaign, during his January 20, 2009 Inauguration, and since his very brief but much destructive time spent in the White House Oval Office where he is spending the people's hard-earned taxpayer dollars so he can live high on the HOG. Unenlightened people entrusted Barack Obama with a Godly charge and, instead, he has loosed the hell hounds against us. Who among us believe we aren't supposed to say anything to acknowledge that is now the case?

Barack Obama has to be impeached. As well, his co-conspirators have conspired with him to cover up his activities and obstruct the law. They are traitors who must be arrested, jailed, and/or deported. Our Congress and the members of the Clergy have to also make up their minds to either understand and support what is right and Godly or what is evil and ungodly, and to either obey their oaths of office and their covenants made with the American people or else resign their positions.

Obama assured the American people during his 2008 election campaign that he knew what it was like to be poor and that, if elected, he would take care of the poor and middle-class. Now that he is operating in the millionaire category because of his current Office, he and his wife, Michelle, arrogantly act as though everybody else can just live with relatives and eat out of trash cans for all they care. That is, unless citizens refuse to capitulate or allow any of them to have their way with them and their families.

Our enemies won't be satisfied until there's,

No more capitalist nation. No more Judeo-Christian nation. No more rule of law. No more defenders of the faith. No more economical freedoms for all Americans. No more free speech. No more religious freedoms. No more control over what happens to our children in their classrooms and in their own homes. No more elections free of corruption and uncertainty. No more sanity in America for citizens to stand up and defend this country. No more Congressional bodies. No more America!

As President George W. Bush used to say, "Bring it on!"

Muslim Mosques are taking up every piece of ground that our elected leaders are handing them and isn't it something that none of them (including Obama) ever came from out of hiding to confront former President George W. Bush when he was in office? They might have been around either glad handing and cozying up to him or sniping at him from behind their desks, but never to his face. I believe all of them knew President Bush would let them know in no uncertain terms that America is not for sale and he wouldn't let them take her.

Americans who dare to stand up and protest attempts to disregard our constitution are called bigots, haters, nonChristian, and dividers, and warned to shut up. People in all areas of life continue to allow America to be totally destroyed. What will our children and grandchildren inherit since, as Obama keeps saying, he has "inherited a mess?" Not so. Our brave men and women have fought and died at home and abroad on foreign shores for Americans to remain free. Otherwise, this nation would have been shut down years ago.

Americans are ready! No matter what name any of the Obama faction chooses to call us, they will never call us homeless or slaves. Strange how so many Black Americans would willingly consent to go back into slavery by Obama and people they believe to be their friends who will give them everything. But do they have it yet? Do you think they will receive it? Not even one job --- just "volunteer" work for Master Obama!

What does it take to get through to those American people who fight against the dissemination of truth about what is happening to America?

Pastor Terry Jones And Patriotic Americans Do Not Hoist White Flags of Surrender To Evil. They Push Back!

Christian Preachers who maintain they are called by God must know that we have a harder judgment from God, if we lead His people astray and even more so, for touching His anointed ones. By that definition, even talking about God's anointed is the same as touching them.

Pastor Terry Jones and his wife are not the accused aggressor or perpetrator as some want to make appear to be by their standing up against radical Islamists any more than America was the aggressor against terrorists on September 11, 2001. As Christians, the Joneses have committed to taking a righteous stand by their faith in order to fearlessly confront the unholy alliances which are coming together in the name of Islam, Shariah, and Muslims to help their long-appointed agent, Barack Obama, to completely destroy America and to enable the Muslims to create yet another Muslim state on our Western Shores. That dictatorship, also, cannot happen here and it must not be allowed to happen.

Obama And Generals Remain Mum As Muslims Kill U.S. Military

I have sons and daughters who are officers who have served in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, and various other places in these United States alongside many of our other brave and finest military. They already know that we cannot bargain with evil.

Former President George W. Bush knew it and, yet, the Obama-DEMS called him crazy and have disrespected him until this day. And his term ended in 2009. He is no longer in office. Moreover, under Obama's brief watch, our men and women remain in harm's way with two more U.S. soldiers being recently murdered in Iraq by an Iraqi "soldier" they were in country to train. Even Iran is reportedly offering thousands of dollars to terrorists to kill our military on the battlefield while Obama and generals remain eerily silent. Yet, they have not hesitated to publicly weigh in on domestic issues but come to the defense of Muslims, homosexuals, the New Black Panthers, ACORN, and to even endorse Obama-Biden beer summits.

Additionally, what kind of Commander-in-Chief would pull out what he calls our "combat" forces from in country, publicly announce the close of "Iraqi Freedom," and then practically boast about sending the bulk of their support combat back home while leaving a stated number of troops behind in Iraq? What's more, they were given orders to not fire in battle unless they were asked (invited?) to do so by the Iraqi military. What kind of leader is that who wants military to have to second guess themselves at a time of life and death? That would be an impeachable offense of the gravest kind.

Meanwhile, military commanders on the battle fields have failed our military. They have allowed a no-nothing, do-nothing like Obama to twist them into areas he knows absolutely nothing about and they have not dared to step up to protect their men and women in battle at home and abroad against Obama's dangerous unilateral orders. They are behaving shamefully to protect Muslims instead of our men, women, and citizens at home and abroad! Islamic radicals are past turning. They are doomed to Hell! They are reprobate and cannot turn even if they wanted to do so, including Barack Hussein Obama.

Where was their personal outrage when secret pentagon papers were recently scattered across the internet? Where was their outrage when terrorists burned our flag? Where was their outrage when they murdered and burned the bodies of American citizens? And, when they hung Americans' charred bodies from the bridge? And when terrorists cut off the heads of Americans and so many others? Where was their outrage when Obama stood and publicly announced a date certain to pull our military out of Iraq and Afghanistan? Where were their voices when Obama did all he could to deny health and other benefits to our military and citizens, as well?

Where will the American outrage be, if Obama and Muslims succeed in their attempts to tear down the U.S. Constitution and our Congress, too? Where will American outrage be, if Obama arbitrarily decides to declare Martial Law and calls forth his own personal foreign army to fight against Americans on these shores?

Americans don't need to be so quick to call people crazy (especially Christians) or quote them Scriptures out of context and without telling the rest of the story surrounding it. For, if Christians had paid attention years ago while they were sitting in their church pews instead of trying to look pretty and primp and preen and pretend they understood the biblical sermons coming from the Pulpits, then this nation could never have gotten to this point where every ungodly thing coming down the pike is deemed to be true, and every truly Godly Word is deemed to be lies.

I have investigated, documented, preached, prayed, called out and warned many times. So I do not sit quietly by with truth staring people in the face and not point it out to them. Play time is over! We need more people who will stand for Godly truth and America. But I want you to know that the only way anybody will be able to stand in the face of such demoniacs, is because God did not just start to prepare His people for "such a time as this." God Himself started this training from His Holy Hill decades ago. However, Christians only called names, being blinded and deafened. Well, this is that, which we were trying to make known from on High. To date, not too many of us can say that God has confirmed His word each time He sent it. I pray you will be able to know your place in this Spiritual and physical battle. We can war when our safety is at risk. Not since September 11, 2001, have we had such notice given about how vulnerable America is -- and she becomes more so every day, because people refuse to recognize who is their enemy and who is their friend. See Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 and Ephesians 4:1-32.

Our hope is not in the Obama Administration or any political affiliation. Our hope is in the Lord Jesus the Christ of Nazareth. Our strength comes from the LORD. Do you doubt that God is at the head of this battle and that He has many soldiers on the front lines? Can you not see that Islamic radicalism is stepping up all across this nation? Obama's election has created a lot of anti-American sentiment, and the more he talks the more citizens cower and apologize and make excuses for every thing and every body that is against our constitution and Judeo-Christian faith.

What will Americans do with the knowledge that they have been receiving about this and other issues and they are called to step out to defend our Constitution? All who love America and have grown up in Christ Jesus understand that we do not force anybody to accept Him or our faith. Ours is to introduce Jesus and allow hearers to face Him themselves. Theirs is to exercise their free will to either accept or reject Him along with the ensuing consequences.

As for Pastor Jones, his wife and their congregants, I rise to encourage his resolve to stand. Even if no others stand with him, it doesn't matter, because the God we serve as Christians is more than enough to fulfill His purpose! And, whether Pastor Jones subsequently does or does not burn the Koran on September 11, 2010, only he and God know that. The main point of this message is to recognize Pastor Jones's bold stand to publicly announce his intentions to take a stand. It also serves as a vivid demonstration for all people to look, see, and discern that they do not have to wonder what they would have done in "biblical days," because every day is biblical for us. And, rather than to condemn him, let his actions at this time be a mirror for how readers view their own profession of faith. And, may God lead them to understand, too, that Preachers are not called by God to be liked or even loved by those to whom we are sent for the Lord's purpose. But all that is done is only as God wills. See Matthew Chapter 10.

God bless America. America, bless our God.

Addendum: September 8, 2010

This is my commentary about the controversy surrounding Imam Abdul Rauf and his Ground Zero Mosque and Pastor Terry Jones's announcement that he plans to burn the Koran on September 11, 2010. Whether he does or does not follow through will be found to be between him and God. As I said before, God does not have coward soldiers - especially among Christian Clerics who know His voice and will discern, believe, and obey. If Christians do not push back, as we know, enemies of our nation, faith, and culture will push them back through the wall. There's no condemnation here. Thank you for your support!

BTW, I was honored to guest on Dr. Laurie Roth's radio program earlier along with Mr. Frank Salvato, NewMediaJournal.US and to hear this discussion, please click on the linked 9-8-2010 date there and download Hour 3. (The other guests (HR 1) (HR 2) are smoking, too) Thanks.

Shariah NO! New Awakening of American Patriotism

By Rev. Lainie Dowell


Here is a linked video on the Berman Post Blog that says it all.

Direct url: http://www.bermanpost.com/2010/09/islamization-of-paris-france.html

It shows a vivid illustration of Islamic takeover of Paris streets (France). A French citizen used hidden video to try to warn the world. And America's dilemma will, likewise, worsen unless patriotic citizens demand national adherence to our rule of law and commitment "to protect, preserve, and defend" our Constitution. Without preserving it, there would be nothing to protect or defend. And that would be far from what our forefathers and our mighty Father had intended for us.

Barack Obama has failed to adhere to his oath of office and, if anything, has done all he can to destroy our constitution and our nation -- "by any means necessary."

Some people may have heard Imam Abdul Rauf, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who is trying hard to force the building of his Mosque on the footprint of New York's Ground Zero. He recently invoked "The Rule of Law" as his own. During a TV interview, Rauf said that Muslims also go by a rule of law. His statement was intended to imply that Muslim adherents of Islam were just like Americans, if not better. Further, it was his way of trying to deflect from the fact that his true intent has remained for decades to plant Shariah Law throughout the world, including America. He is too close to accomplishing that goal to allow the truth to snuff out his plans.

NEW AWAKENING OF AMERICAN PATRIOTISM

Americans cannot afford to be intimidated by anybody into keeping silent in the name of Christianity. Some people would have us to believe that the God of our Judeo-Christian faith would not have us to be anything but filled with love and peace even while they are beating our brains out. But they must know that our God does not have coward soldiers. We are bold soldiers who serve the true and living God of both love and wrath. He has given to us not only the power but also the authority to use this power in the face of every demonic foe, when necessary. And that is why we, as Christians, choose to live in peace and to demonstrate God's love in the earth among all mankind.

Moreover, "We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ!" And the only reason others want to make it seem as if we are ashamed is because they understand exactly how much power we possess through our faith. We must confess the name, Jesus, without shame or fear or apology. There is power in that name! America is great, because we serve a great God. Why else would people from other nations continue to break down our gates to get onto these shores?

"Greater is He that is in (us) than (anybody or anything else) in the world."

With the November 2008 election of the Obama Administration and their subsequent ongoing actions to make Americans appear to be weak and apathetic, the enemies of our faith and our nation (at home and abroad) have seen this as their moment to strike. And, as a result, they are beginning to understand that Americans love God, family, country, and people enough to fight like hell to remain as God Himself has made us and our forefathers then made provision for us to remain --- FREE!

In 2010, Americans have gained a new awakening and have resolved to stand against Islamization and any political, ideological attempts to kill our nation and faith in order for them to birth a global Shariah takeover even in America.

Impeach Obama will continue to be our call! The No Confidence Petition (Obama-Biden) continues online since 2008! It is not too late to sign it. American voters, please follow the "No Confidence Votes Count2" link and help to finally get those pages filled up and sent on to officials, as indicated. Thank you.

God bless America! America, bless our God!!

Hillary Clinton 2008 Supporters Speak Out Against Obama

By Rev. Lainie Dowell

DO NOT TAKE THIS REPORT LIGHTLY!

I came upon this fantastic information via a link shared on Twitter, and I'm glad I clicked on it.

In 2008, the American people refused to pay attention to the many warnings being sounded about Barack Obama and the Chicago thugs. Now, the Democrat supporters of Hillary Clinton (presently Secretary of State in the Obama Administration) are speaking out from first-hand accounts about that political process which tossed Hillary Clinton and elevated Obama.

Following that televised nominating process which broke the hearts of many of her supporters, the people made the decision that, "We Will Not Be Silenced." They have fought to keep that promise, and everybody needs to view the message they have tried to get out nationally since 2008, but to no avail. However, in 2010, Hillary Clinton supporters are finally able to provide substantial evidence of widespread fraud and intimidation perpetrated by Obama and many of his supporters during the 2008 election.

Their video entitled "We Will Not Be Silenced" (or, "How the Mob Stole A Nomination") is directed by Gigi Gaston. It is a breathtaking account and I am sure it will grip your heart, as it did mine. The first presentation of this video was a 4-part series on the same site. (If the links do not show up here, please google)

Included is the song, "Betchya Gotta Cure." Music and lyrics by Sophie B. Hawkins.

That video site (above) also directs viewers to another site where there is a new extended version online. This video was previewed on FOX TV, on July 11, 2010, during an interview of Gigi Gaston, video director.

Voice Ink News Commentary Founder-Editor Weighed In

On Wednesday, July 23, 2008, I wrote a commentary entitled, "Get Those People Out of Here Quick!"

This article told how Hillary Clinton had sold out her supporters by having a secret meeting with Obama (later discovered to have been held at Rep. Diane Feinstein's house) where she made a deal with Obama for compensation of some sort, if she got out of the race and turned her supporters over to him. And, subsequently, that is exactly what we saw her do even though she had as much of a chance of winning that 2008 nomination as Obama did at the time. And her supporters knew it!

On Wednesday, August 27, 2008, I wrote a commentary entitled "Election 2008 Change That Thrives On Hope. "

I had prophetically sounded the alarm about that Democrat nominating process. Even though I am a Republican by political affiliation and I supported the McCain-Palin candidacy, my heart broke for those Clinton supporters. During their 2008 nominating process, viewers saw how devastated Hillary's supporters were when she publicly announced she was getting out of that race and had asked them to turn their allegiance over to Obama. Many of her supporters expressed their anger at the time and chose to turn away from Obama's candidacy.

On Wednesday, August 27, 2008, I also wrote a commentary entitled "Obama Coronation By DEMS." Here, I expressed the heartache I felt because Obama and his thugs had betrayed not only Hillary Clinton but also the entire voting process for all Americans.

Even now, in 2010, I believe anybody who watches that timely video and who loves America will be heart broken. At the same time they will also feel vindicated, because they knew they were not wrong about Barack Hussein Obama and his faction of the Democratic Party who had deliberately stolen the 2008 nomination from Hillary Clinton. Not only that, but they also began their call once more to eliminate the Electoral College. Even now they are still working toward that end. But they must not be allowed to succeed there, either.

What more proof does anybody need about Obama?!

We must work harder to ensure that Barack Hussein Obama will never have another chance to corrupt any other election process to aid him in his attempt to circumvent the United States Constitution, do away with our representative form of government, and install himself as U.S. President in Perpetuity.

Many bloggers who continue to expose Obama are mocked, scoffed at, and even ignored. Our voting process is broken and, through his illegal manipulation of the process, Obama proves he is not now, never was, and never will be the person who should be entrusted with the Office of President of the United States. Moreover, we have a constitutional crisis right now and citizens must compel Congress to hold an investigative hearing towards impeaching Obama well before the 2012 Presidential election.

Hardly anybody heard the warnings being sounded about Obama at the time, because the mainstream media was sold out to him and he could do no wrong. Many still refuse to hear and believe the allegations against Obama even now. Instead, they prefer to believe that Obama is truthful, patriotic, and competent rather than a traitor who wants to establish his own parliamentarian coalition government inside of the White House.

He has never stopped campaigning and has never disbanded his personal lobbyist arm known as "Organizing For America" (formerly known as "Obama For America"). Obama and his wife, Michelle, and Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, along with the staff who works with and for Obama continue to send out campaign-style emails begging for donations and bragging about how they have gotten over Congress. And the Executive Branch also leaves no doubt as to where they stand, because they personally allow their signatures to be used with those emails. That action is unconstitutional and illegal and needs to be addressed and halted! Nevertheless, we have seen many of our laws broken by Obama without accountability. And I believe it is because our officials do not want to be labelled as racist for weighing in. Outrageous!

All American voters beyond political or religious affiliation, race, or gender need to make the time to review this information via the links I have provided in this article. There is another election coming up on November 2, 2010; therefore, this news item should be helpful in leading every reader into not becoming complacent or apathetic about the all-important American voting process.

VOTE IN 2010 LIKE IT IS 2012! Pass it on!
