Text of the page (random words):
ver open our mouths about the millions of people enslaved in soviet colonies in the satellite nations i think we are for aiding our allies by sharing of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs but we are against doling out money government to government creating bureaucracy if not socialism all over the world we set out to help 19 countries we are helping 107 we spent 146 billion with that money we bought a 2 million dollar yacht for haile selassie we bought dress suits for greek undertakers extra wives for kenya government officials we bought a thousand tv sets for a place where they have no electricity in the last six years fifty two are receiving foreign aid from us no government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size government programs once launched never disappear actually a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we ll ever see on this earth federal employees number 2 5 million and federal state and local one out of six of the nation s work force is employed by government these proliferating bureaus with their thousands of regulations have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards how many of us realize that today federal agents can invade a man s property without a warrant they can impose a fine without a formal hearing let alone a trial by jury and they can seize and sell his property in auction to enforce the payment of that fine in chicot country arkansas james wier overplanted his rice allotment the government obtained a 17 000 judgment and a u s marshal sold his 950 acre farm at auction the government said it was necessary as a warning to others to make the system work last february 19th at the university of minnesota norman thomas six times candidate for president on the socialist party ticket said if barry goldwater became president he would stop the advance of socialism in the united states i think that s exactly what he will do as a former democrat i can tell you norman thomas isn t the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration back in 1936 mr democrat himself al smith the great american came before the american people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the party of jefferson jackson and cleveland down the road under the banners of marx lenin and stalin and he walked away from his party and he never returned to the day he died because to this day the leadership of that party has been taking that party that honorable party down the road in the image of the labor socialist party of england now it doesn t require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism upon a people what does it mean whether you hold the deed or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property such machinery already exists the government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute every businessman has his own tale of harassment somewhere a perversion has taken place our natural inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government and freedom has never been so fragile so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment our democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues they want to make you and i think that this is a contest between two men that we are to choose just between two personalities well what of this man they would destroy and in destroying they would destroy that which he represents the ideas that you and i hold dear is he the brash and shallow and trigger happy man they say he is well i have been privileged to know him when i knew him long before he ever dreamed of trying for high office and i can tell you personally i have never known a man in my life i believe so incapable of doing a dishonest or dishonorable thing this is a man who in his own business before he entered politics instituted a profit sharing plan before unions had ever thought of it he put in health and medical insurance for all his employees he took 50 percent of the profits before taxes and set up a retirement plan and a pension plan for all his employees he sent monthly checks for life to an employee who was ill and couldn t work he provided nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the stores when mexico was ravaged by the floods from the rio grande he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and supplies down there an ex gi told me how he met him it was the week before christmas during the korean war and he was at the los angeles airport trying to get a ride home to arizona and he said that there were a lot of servicemen there and no seats available on the planes then a voice came over the loudspeaker and said any men in uniform wanting a ride to arizona go to runway such and such and they went down there and there was a fellow named barry goldwater sitting in his plane every day in the weeks before christmas all day long he would load up the plane fly to arizona fly them to their homes then fly back over to get another load during the hectic split second timing of a campaign this is a man who took time out to sit beside an old friend who was dying of cancer his campaign managers were understandably impatient but he said there aren t many left who care what happens to her i d like her to know that i care this is a man who said to his nineteen year old son there is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness and when you begin to build your life upon that rock with the cement of the faith in god that you have then you have a real start this is not a man who could carelessly send other people s sons to war and that is the issue of this campaign that makes all of the other problems i have discussed academic unless we realize that we are in a war that must be won those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory they call their policy accommodation and they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us all who oppose them are indicted as warmongers they say we offer simple answers to complex problems well perhaps there is a simple answer not an easy one but a simple one if you and i have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right we cannot buy our security our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now in slavery behind the iron curtain give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters alexander hamilton said a nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one let s set the record straight there is no argument over the choice between peace and war but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace and you can have it in the next second surrender admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement and this is the specter our well meaning liberal friends refuse to face that their policy of accommodation is appeasement and it gives no choice between peace and war only between fight or surrender if we continue to accommodate continue to back and retreat eventually we have to face the final demand the ultimatum and what then when nikita khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be he has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the cold war and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually morally and economically he believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for peace at any price or better red than dead or as one commentator put it he would rather live on his knees than dies on his feet and therein lies the road to war because those voices don t speak for the rest of us you and i know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery if nothing in life is worth dying for when did this begin just in the fact of this enemy or should moses have told the children of israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs should christ have refused the cross should the patriots at concord bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world the martyrs of history were not fools and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the nazis didn t die in vain where then is the road to peace well it s a simple answer after all you and i have the courage to say to our enemies there is a price we will not pay there is a point beyond which they must not advance this is the meaning in the phrase of barry goldwater s peace through strength winston churchill said that the destiny of man is not measured by material computation when great forces are on the move in the world we learn we are spirits not animals and he said there is something going on in time and space and beyond time and space which whether we like it or not spells duty you and i have a rendezvous with destiny we will preserve for our children this the last best hope of man on earth or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness we will keep in mind and remember that barry goldwater has faith in us he has faith that you and i have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny thank you posted by gordo at 7 46 am no comments monday september 3 2007 a book i read more than once if any of you are into reading as i am i highly recommend crime and punishment by fyodor dostoyevsky c s lewis once said that someone who is truly interested in gleaning what they can from literature will not just have read many books but will have books that they have read many times i have read this book no less than three times and each time i have taken something else from it it has done much to shape my worldview as it pertains to what justice is dostoyevsky knew that justice and more importantly injustice were he was sent to siberia for a number of years due to his refusal to toe the line on soviet politics in his writings the result of which is this and other beautifully written treatises that we all can learn from i highly recommend this and other books such as anna karenina and the brothers karamazov by this author you will be a better person for having read them posted by gordo at 7 42 am 1 comment saturday september 1 2007 would god allow time travel would god ever allow time travel this is an interesting question in order to answer it we have to try and look at time from god s perspective which is not an easy thing to do in 2 peter 3 8 it says but beloved be not ignorant of this one thing that one day is with the lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day kjv time means nothing to god he is outside of time try to picture the entire history of the world from beginning to end as a drawn time line it starts with gods creation of the world and ends with gods destruction of the world you can see adam and eve noah moses and all the rest you can see what they did or didn t do our limitation is that we can only see what is past and of that not much pretend you can see everything that has already happened god is the beginning and the end the alpha and omega he has already seen all of human history so he can look back in this same way and see what to us is unknown future now let s come back to the original question would god ever allow time travel no because he alone can view the entire span of human existence he alone can see the future as if it were past that is part of what makes him god he will not allow a human to mess with the space time continuum for the same reason i won t let my kids touch the stove all we would do is screw it up and hurt ourselves now that we are aware of how god sees time lets take that a step further ephesians 1 4 6 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love having predestined us unto the adoption of children by jesus christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of his grace wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved kjv god knew from the beginning of the world everything that would happen and has already guided it to it s conclusion what is the implication there is no such thing as time time is an artificial construct to describe the situation humans find themselves in vis a vis our physical world to god who is not retarded by the artificial construct of time the future has already happened which means there is also no such thing as change think about that for a moment there is no such thing as change i don t know about you but i find comfort in the fact that god is timeless and changeless and if something in history needs fixing i ll leave the time travel to him anyway posted by gordo at 9 53 am 4 comments i thought this was funny there are 2 headlines today on the network news site for my job the first one is democrat congresswoman says iraq stragey isn t working the second one is scores of insurgents killed
