Whatever Means Necessary

In the aftermath of Election 2000, angry partisan Democrats vowed to do everything in their power to make the Bush presidency a failure and to defeat him in 2004 "by whatever means necessary."

In the process, they've managed to undermine voter confidence in our election system to the degree that the State Department has asked the Europeans to monitor this election for fairness. They've managed to convince voters that the election isn't fair because the voting machines are suddenly too complicated for old people and minorities.

There have been endless stories about Florida this year and how to avoid a "repeat of Election 2000" by improving the voting system.

While nothing is idiot-proof, old people and minorities managed to elect Bill Clinton twice using the same equipment. It didn't need to be overhauled until it somehow misfired and elected George Bush instead. No matter how many times they recounted, George Bush still got more votes than Al Gore. Therefore, there must be something wrong with the voting equipment.

Nothing appears to be above exploitation. John Kerry even dedicated a speech he delivered on Monday to the late actor Christopher Reeve. Kerry said he knew the "Superman" actor for about 15 years through family and dedication to the same causes, and said Reeve left him a long voice-mail on Saturday thanking him for campaigning on the possibilities of a cure for conditions like his.

It had been originally reported that Reeve died on Sunday after slipping into a coma on Thursday following complications from treatment for a bed sore. After John Kerry's speech, reports of Reeve's death were changed to remove the reference to Thursday in order to make it possible for Reeve to call John Kerry and leave a long message for him on his answering machine on Saturday night. Evidently, Kerry didn't know about the "coma" part until after the speech, but his well-oiled damage-control team was already on it.

A blogger on Free Republic provided one example of the "before and after" media manipulation that kept John Kerry from having another "Christmas in Cambodia" moment like the ones that keep coming up every time he tries to exploit the dead.

And if exploitation, media manipulation and outright lies don't work, how about voter intimidation? GOP Chairman Marc Racicot issued, as part of a GOP press release, a copy of a letter he sent to the president of the AFL-CIO. As of yesterday morning, the only place you can read it is a website in Spain.

In it, Racicot asked organized labor to end its campaign of violence against Bush-Cheney political offices and Bush supporters. Among the incidents cited by Racicot:


A coordinated labor protest at more than a dozen campaign and party headquarters across the country.

In one protest in Orlando, the office was vandalized and one campaign worker had their arm broken in the melee.

In Canton, Ohio, a Bush-Cheney '04 staffer was forced to lock herself in an office while another break-in was in progress.

Gunshots were fired into Bush-Cheney '04 offices in West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee, windows broken in West Virginia and campaign staffers threatened.

In Wisconsin, a supporter of the president had a swastika burned into his front yard simply because he had a Bush-Cheney '04 lawn sign.

Disinformation, voter fraud, organized violence, outright lies, exploitation and media manipulation. Those were the principle tools used by the Nazis to bring Hitler to power in 1933 Germany.

But this isn't 1933, and this isn't Germany. That stuff doesn't work here. This is AMERICA!

Or, it used to be.

More good info Bro, THANKS

2nd Timothy,

Brother, thanks for sharing this with us. I've recently heard blatant and bold lies from the mouth of Kerry. The man has no morals or ethics and will do literally anything to get elected.

Another sad fact is the liberal mainstream media that has made it painfully clear they will also do anything to get the Christian out of the White House.

This is a dark and evil time of one shock after another. CBS plotted and planned the biggest lie ever to manipulate voters and get their candidate elected. This kind of behavior from an old and trusted network is an example of just how dark and evil this old world has become. The Democratic Party is also an old and trusted institution. I would have never dreamed they would run with a platform of same sex marriage and abortion. What is happening in America??? Is it the devil trying to remove God from our country??? Is this a preview of the end times, OR is this the end times???

Did America Forget?:

John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Colossians 3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word of deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Psalms 113:4  The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Psalms 127:1  Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Psalms 115:13  He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

Psalms 124:8  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Isaiah 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Psalms 37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Psalms 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Psalms 32:10  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

Romans 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Psalms 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

All the more reason for Christians to Unite.

At present there are more Christians in the U.S. than any other religion or non-religion put together. Put aside our differences in denominational beliefs and unite in this common cause. We as Christians must get off of our laurels and take a Stand for God and our country before it is to late.

Pastor Roger,

You are correct. Christians can and should unite. I don't know how many of the polls the news spouts resemble the truth. One recent poll indicates that millions of Christians don't vote, nor are they registered to vote. If this is true, it would simply be another example of silent Christians allowing the devil full freedom without opposition. There will come a time when the Restrainer will be removed, and the devil will roam completely free. That time has not come yet, and Christians should be standing up. Many of the most mighty warriors in history were Christians, and it is far past time for Christians to put on the whole armor of God and fight.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Blackeyedpeas,

I agree that devil has not been loosed yet. Even if he were it would not matter. Christians still should unite to fight the evil of this world.

I am not talking about violence as reported in the original post in this thread but we do need to take action.

 :-\ Ouch!

Great article, though!

Pastor Roger,

Brother, I hope that my post didn't come accross as suggesting violence. I was talking about standing up, speaking boldly, and proclaiming Biblical teaching.

However, there may come a time when we must defend our families. I hope that time isn't now.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Blackeyedpeas,

No, I didn't read any indication of violence in comments. I just wanted to make sure that no one thought I was abdicating such. As for defense I am all for that. Defense of ourselves, our families, our country and all people. Having been prior military, I am a realist that force is sometimes necessary to maintain our freedoms and to protect others and sometimes that means going as far as war.

Yes that time will come.

you know you guys over in america seem to get about as much spin as we do on what you read...

Kalthzar,

There isn't much spin about 9-11 and Americans being killed around the world.

There isn't much spin about how the people of Israel live and die every day. That's the reality of terrorism.

There isn't much spin about innocent men, women, and children being kill around the world. That's the reality of terrorism.

For undecided voters (and anyone who thinks John Kerry is fit for command):

Perhaps the most instructive question that can be asked regarding the upcoming presidential election is this: Given the chance, would Saddam Hussein, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il, Mohammad Khatami, Moammar al-Ghadafi and Hu Jingtao vote for A) George Bush, or B) John Kerry? How would Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Schroeder and Kofi
Annan vote? If you answered "B," put a big shiny star by your name.

Now -- for whom (and with whom) are YOU voting?

There doesn't seem to be any difference between the candidate in the first paragraph, and as for the second, FOX is mainstream, and is very Republican. MSNBC is slightly left, but is probably the most balanced of the big media outlets.

As far as whether Bush and/or Kerry is a Christian, I'll not judge, but the people running our foreign policy, the neocons, don't even claim to be Christian. Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, etc.. are Jewish. Which isn't necesarily wrong, but it just shows we need to look at the big picture when deciding on who to vote for, or whether to abstain from this coming election.

"I think the debate over same-sex marriage is getting hung up over the word 'marriage,' and I don't want anything to stand in the way of providing gay men and lesbians full and equal protections under the law."


John Kerry

"I'm opposed to the death penalty in the criminal justice system because I think it's applied unfairly."

Johny Kerry

My Note:  What about the millions of innocent babies who have been and are being murdered? John Kerry is the strongest supporter of legalized abortions. He's already said that pro abortion will be a litmus test for any judge he appoints as President. He's already said that he will protect Roe vs. Wade at all costs. He's also fought for a juvenile's right to abortion without parental notice or consent. Should Christians be concerned that taxpayer dollars already pay for many abortions?

The differences of the two candidates on the questions of gay marriage, stem cell research, abortion, etc.. are differences of degree, not principle. They both approve, and in Bush's case have actually taken my tax dollars and used it to do stem cell research.

"The first priority is the economy of our nation. And when you have a downturn in the economy, the last thing you do is raise taxes or cut spending. We shouldn't do either. We need to maintain a course that hopefully will stimulate the economy.... No, we should not raise taxes, but we have to put everything on the table to take a look at why we have this structural problem today. ...you don't want to raise taxes."

John Kerry - September 2001


"I will roll back Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to invest in education and healthcare."
 
John Kerry - September 2004

My Note:  Is this socialism? Who's going to buy equipment, open new businesses, and create new jobs? Who's going to help the already struggling businesses around the country? Who pays taxes when these businesses go under and bankrupt?

The Bible allows just over 6% tax, anything more is wrong, so it's a question of degree, not principle. They both want to spend to much, can't you see that? Do you think God is pleased with paying people to do research on stem cells from murdered babies?

Tim, You're not, perchance, Catholic are you?  ???

No, I'm a Calvinist. Perhaps you've heard of us? The Mayflower, Pilgrims? You know, the people who founded this republic.

Now, without excuses concerning your sex, what were the justifications for this war.

Nope, never heard of YOU in relation to them!  ;)

My brother is a Calvinist. You don't sound anything like him.

Am I the only one who sees this election as a potential Kadeshbarnea?  I mean, it really seems as though you have God on the one side, and the world on the other.  You can see it just talking to people of opposing viewpoints.  The one side will say that basic sin is sin.  The other will say that basic sin isn't sin.  One side calls evil evil.  The other, calls evil good.  I get the feeling that we'll get what we vote for on this one.  If we chose the world, it's philosophies, it's wants and desires, then we will get that, and all that comes with it.  If we chose what God says, then we will be at immediate odds with the world, both here in America, and out there in the other nations.  Guys, we need to be praying.  We need to vote.

Just answer the question please... :)

oh and blackeyepeas (may i shorten that to bep or something?)

I would never say that what we hear is not biased in any way, I think the actual problems of the 'world' are sometimes clouded by what the media wants us to hear/ thinks we're interested in.

A death is a death, be it from terrorism, hunger, Natural/Manmade disasters, War or anything else they are dead, you cannot bring them back. So should they not ALL receive your thoughts? Why are the ones to do with terrorism so special? What about the terrorists themselves, doing what they beleive to be the only option left? Do they diserve pity or a moments thought, they are human too.

hmmm that was longer than i thought, and might not have been articulated to the best of my abilities...oh and keep talking about Kerry, tax and stem cells by all means i just thought i'd say something...  :D

You are definitely not alone on that.

Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Jer 2:5
Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
Jer 2:7
And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
Jer 2:9
Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD,..... (one more time....the LAST time)

Time is short, brethren.

Allinall,

Brother, I agree with you completely. It's a battle between good and evil, plain and simple.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Sadly my friends and Brothers, many believers aren't seeing that.  It's just an election to get want they want, not a responsibility to stand for what's right.  Thanks Tom and Pastor Roger!  Let's bloody our knees praying for this thing.

Allinall,

Brother, it's far past time for all Christians to bloody their knees and pray for our country. We take for granted our freedoms, especially our freedom to worship God. This is a time of great evil and danger for our country.

I'm not talking about a single election, rather an overall attempt to further erode our core values and ask us to turn our backs on God. Sleeping and silent Christians need to wake up, pray, pray some more, and STAND UP!

Love In Christ,
Tom
