The Determinate Truth

David L Lamon

America is fast becoming the most secular humanistic nation in the history of the world and that is the main reason she has entered into decline as other great nations in history have done. Why did those great empires fall apart? They were given great blessings by God Almighty but refused to give God the glory for what they had received. In our day and time most in leadership positions refuse to recognize Him as God at all. Our God is a jealous God. Each of those great empires fell into worshiping false gods with the root of this worship centering on the I and Me, which today is the most important part of the teaching of the growing “Emergent Church” doctrine. In other words, you are your own god or whatever you think is right it is right. They worshiped the creature instead of the Creator. This pagan worship led God to reveal His Holy indignation by removing His blessings from them, and once God removes His blessings the inevitable end is in sight. “If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay [it] to heart,” Malachi 2:2.

Secularism is sweeping America through its educational system beginning in the public school and on into the colleges. The greatest fault or result of this ideology is it disregards history’s lessons of the past even to the point rewriting the history books in order to eliminate self-examination of why one believes the way he/she does. Critical thinking was once a vital tool that inspired ideas for seeking answers and was a requisite part of the educational system but no more. Secular humanism means just the opposite of spiritual; its emphasis is on worldly material things and doesn’t take into consideration the spiritual ramifications that inevitably have the last say in the matter. The best way I can describe this is with the word of God, which says; Isaiah 56:11 yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. As most know the message of repentance from the pulpits of America is becoming rarer and the above scripture lays out part of the reason why. The other reason lies in the people themselves and reveals where we are on God’s time clock as described in the following verses, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. Isaiah 56:12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. Isaiah 22:13 and behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die. In other words, drink and party like there is no tomorrow. I could go into the statistics of money spent and lives destroyed because of alcohol, drugs, immoral movies and television, pornography and how these have lead to other horrible things but I think most are aware of the devastating affects this has had on American society.

Prior to the fall of all the great recorded nations this was the mindset so this is not a new thing. Yes, there are different variations as to the approach but the end result is the same. Secular humanism teaching puts the emphasis on the I and me and dictates that the pulpits nurture these feelings or start looking for another job. Let me say right here I don’t envy the sincere minister of the gospel today. He/she must be totally sold out to the cause of God and willing make to the necessary sacrifices to promote it. Secular humanistic teaching releases one from the consequences their actions and finds a scapegoat to justify their actions. It is a feel good society or as the educational system teaches it “one’s personal self esteem” is more important than truth.

For example, in many of the public schools in California it is well documented that Clinton’s goals 2000 education says that if a student says 2+2=5 then that is what it is because that is what the student wants it to be and his/her self esteem takes precedence over truth. This is as plain and straight-forward of an example as I can give concerning the results of what secular humanistic influence has had on American society. And to add reinforcement or a safeguard to this doctrine of what is called political correctness, which is essence says be careful how you say that or you can get into serious trouble. Of course this was added to thwart those that would disagree with the teaching of secular humanistic teaching by presenting the threat of legal challenges to them. This is one of the main reasons public school officials surrender to these thugs and go along with their evil dogma. Another example of how well this theology has taken root is the voter him/herself. Many times I have heard and I am sure many of you have also individuals say the government is corrupt; they make promises and don’t keep them. They promise us this or that and don’t deliver so I am going to vote for what I can get out of it. Again the emphasis falls on I and me as a result of what how well secular humanistic teaching has engrained the mindset of many Americans and in particular the Christian.

Many that call themselves Christians say they are against abortion and turning homosexuals loose on our children and rightly say the Republicans platform includes opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion but they don’t do anything about it. They justify voting for the party they know pushes these issues by using the above excuse for what they can get out of it for own selfish self and the politicians know this. They know they can get re-elected to office by taking the possessions of others and giving to those of the I and me persuasion and get their vote. So far those of you that still have a conscience I suggest you consider something the apostle Paul said in the book of Philippians for conscience sake. The scripture does teach Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 1 Peter 2:19 for this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. Paul’s approach to voting I believe would be this; Philippians 1:15-18 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. What then? Notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. As mentioned above, the excuse by many that the Republicans say they are against abortion and same-sex marriage but don’t do anything to stop so I’m voting for me doesn’t seem to hold much water now does it? So for conscience sake follow the example of the apostle meaning even though they may not be sincere and only seeking the Christian vote by making this a part of their platform the fact remains they are on the national stage and by having this as an issue brought before the American conscience a Christian should take this into consideration. After all, what is the first commandment and to be obedient to that first commandment means a Christian will do what he/she needs to do to be pleasing to God and think eternally instead of the here and now. James 4:13-15 Go to now, ye that say, today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. Hypothetically, imagine yourself sitting across the table from the righteous judge Jesus Christ and having to explain why you voted as a Christian for a party that is determined to kill innocent little babies and turn homosexuals loose even on your own children or grandchildren, how would you explain this to Him and do you think the above justification would vindicate you?

Finally, please consider this, in a study done by Dixie Lee Ray; he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:

·         From bondage to spiritual faith.

·         From faith to great courage.

·         From courage to liberty.

·         From liberty to abundance.

·         From abundance to complacency.

·         From complacency to selfishness.

·         From selfishness to apathy.

·         From apathy to dependency.

·         And from dependency back again into bondage.

Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? A British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship.

McCain is Listening to “We the People”

John McCain's selection of Governor Palin of Alaska has sealed the deal for me. Obama’s sinister plan to socialize America has taken a back seat. I believe McCain’s selection has given many of us the “umph” to get involved now to stop Obama’s Marxist ideology from becoming a reality. This selection tells me McCain has been listening to "We the People" and proved it by this selection. I admit prior to this selection I was very disinterested in McCain because of many positions he has taken such comprehensive immigration reform, global warming and the campaign finance reform bill he sponsored. Many months ago after his immigration bill failed he said the American people have spoken and I didn't take him serious but I do now. I am totally refreshed because finally "we the people" have a candidate that is demonstrating he is listening. I have been so invigorated I am willing to work as hard as he will let me to get him elected. Ask him what he wants me to do and I will do it. By the way I think this proves God is listening to his children. Praise God!

Obama and Palin

Some in the Democratic leadership say the Republicans put heavy emphasis on national security issues yet they select a vice presidential candidate with no experience in this matter; however, she like Obama has been to visit the troops overseas, plus they also say Republicans consider the world a dangerous place yet select a vice president with no military experience so the attack on Obama about his inexperience in these areas are now a dead issue.  

As most know would be presidential candidate McCain has a lot of experience in both of these areas whereas Obama has none but if McCain is elected and dies what about this so-called inexperienced vice president concerning the subject matter discussed above? When comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges Governor Palin who as vice president is as experienced as the Democratic presidential candidate. As a matter of fact, she is the commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard in Alaska. What has Obama been commander and chief of?   She has more experience running government and business running as a vice presidential candidate than Obama has as a presidential candidate. If she was running as the Republican presidential candidate she has more experience with the military than Obama, so no cigar on this one Lefty. The issue of national security is still as vital an issue as before. So run tell that!

Letter To Pundits
  I know this is not in staying with your message entirely but I hope you guys with audiences realize we have only one hope. That hope to regain our country from special interest and unelected bureaucrats that shape policy lies in firing every incumbent in Washington and that has sold out to these groups for campaign money and that includes both democrat and republican. The purpose is to send the strongest possible message that "we the people" have had it with ignoring our will and constantly furnishing us with the “lesser of two evils” for a candidate for office, which in turn by their own design wears down the patience or resigns one to the fact nothing can be done for and of a people. This also includes those that haven’t sold out but because of their lack of backbone to stand up to these elites and force a fight on our behalf. It will send a strong message to the newly elected they better pay attention to us or they will be gone.   While on the newly elected it makes sense to me that since they are taking an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States it ought to be required they know what it says don’t you agree? What I am saying is they must have taken a course on the original constitution and tested with a passing grade of 85 or above to qualify to run for office. Latest examples of usurping authority unconstitutionally: The leaders in Washington just heaped huge debt on Americans by bailing out the mortgage institutions and now are bailing out those that lost or are losing their homes because of their own ignorance. The majority of these people bought homes they couldn’t afford in the first place and under circumstances that was sure to lead to foreclosures with the rigged interest rates. It has been reported that people with incomes of as little as $19,000 a year bought $250,000 dollar homes and this should have never happened. I am a compassionate person but this is ridiculous especially when the rest of us are now expected to pay for these homes we had nothing to do with in the first place and takes money we desperately need to survive ourselves. That’s not to mention the mortgaging of our children and grandchildren’s future as well. Fannie May and Freddie Mac must be discontinued and put into the hands of the private sector to rid the taxpaying people of the U.S. of this burden. As much as I don’t like regulation these organizations and other lenders must come under strenuous regulation in the way they give out loans. It’s simple, go back to the old system that has worked; look at income, bills they are already paying to see if they can afford a fixed rate not a variable rate of interest and note. If they can’t they don’t get a loan, period. That’s how it works for responsible people isn’t it? This is the way that has worked for many years and we didn’t have this kind of fiasco before.  Besides bailing out the institutions that should have been imprisoned for this travesty and the people who bought into the scheme is only going to prolong the inevitable.  I am talking about all this talk about it will bankrupt America if we don’t bail them out when either way it could accomplish it. The only question is now or then. By prolonging people who have played according to Hoyle will suffer even more and it is not their fault.  Mounting debt to China and the dollar’s decline as a result of all this debt is to say the least sobering.  I say suck it up and let the chips fall where they may by punishing the crooks with these schemes and unfortunate but necessary the people involved will have to learn to be more astute in their next venture if there is to be a next venture. 

If this mortgage debacle is an example of “W’s” compassionate conservatism then shove it, it don’t work here no more! Even Jesus through the apostle said at one time he winked at ignorance but no more. It has gotten to the point a man can’t hardly take care of his own family because of forced servitude by elected government officials on the ones trying to do it right, deadbeats and the ignorance of others. The apostle also said, in 1Timothy 5:8 but if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. I don’t know about you but I don’t much like being considered an infidel but because of the idiots at the helm now we are forcibly becoming what qualify as infidels. Another example is the comprehensive Immigration Reform that McCain/Kennedy and many in congress tried to shove down our throat knowing full well overwhelmingly the American people didn’t want it. These elites are putting their finger in our face as if to say “in your face you who elected me, I don’t have to listen to you”.  

Trust me, the credit card companies are the next great “bailout” and Americans should demand better of their representatives than this. As you probably know Obama has set new records acquiring individual maximum allowed contributions and the question is how did everyday Americans that are struggling to make ends meet with high food cost and gasoline cost along with everything else increasing finance their donations to Obama? You guessed it with plastic either knowing full well they will get bailed out soon or they just didn’t care. Admit it or not America is fast becoming the most socialist and later and as always follows to be a communist nation because of this kind of action. You know as well as I do with government bailouts come a loss of property rights and other freedoms we cherish for all Americans so we must throw the bums out and right the ship. Why should a responsible citizen be forced to bail them out? If we don't get your help spreading this message forget about anything closely resembling the restored constitutional direction for representation of "we the people". As it is now we have taxation without representation and that must change if we are to ever regain our country from the elites.

Let’s be honest and live with the facts the middle-class in this country by design is dwindling fast and to hide this fact as the elites are doing with this mortgage debacle among other things, make what we are experiencing currently the inevitable result. If we don’t strengthen the middle-class in America we will not last much longer as a free people because the middle-class to include small business is the backbone of our republican form of government. Growing small businesses in America can’t get loans to expand jobs and prosperity because of the mortgage crisis.  Even Aristotle recognized hundreds of years ago as Greece formed the first democracy that the only way for it to succeed is to have a strong middle-class. Heed the warning of British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship. And the following is the established pattern for this kind of runamuck federalism.

In a study done by Dixie Lee Ray, he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:

From bondage to spiritual faith.

From faith to great courage.

From courage to liberty.

From liberty to abundance.

From abundance to complacency.

From complacency to selfishness.

From selfishness to apathy.

From apathy to dependency.

And from dependency back again into bondage.

Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? 

We must Fire All Incumbents to restore our former self, which are a free, moral and prosperous people that became the envy of the entire world. If you agree pass this on to as many people as possible.

We as citizens of the United States understand it is our responsibility to you the candidate and ourselves to control the election process, so it is our considered opinion a refusal to answer any or all of the following questions will disqualify any presidential candidate from holding the office of the president of the U.S. We the people believe no question can be excused by a candidate by asserting it has too many complex variables for a straight forward yes or no answer and that if a candidate can't give an answer to the following he/she has no business running for office. We also desire straight forward simple yes or no answers to eliminate wiggle room by eliminating the politics of avoiding answer through divertive action such as party bashing that usually accompanies campaigning when a candidate feels the need to op/out on issues of concern to us is sought. “We The People” believe the candidate needs to understand we are tired of listening to 30-minute speeches that waste our time and speaks of everything but what is important to us, which is the issues listed below. We demand that if a candidate does criticize another candidate on an issue he/she must provide an easily understood solution that would justify their criticism; otherwise their criticism will have no merit. 

The questions below have been carefully crafted to reach across party lines and are of great concern to the American people. With people’s short attention span because of many factors to include jobs and families it is necessary to provide a voter’s guide that is simple and to the point so they can make what is in their opinion smart voting decisions on issues of concern to them. To all presidential candidates it should be made clear that as voters we are going to hold their feet to the fire and we are not impressed with their enticing words of man/woman’s wisdom or charisma but rather their record on these issues because we are already aware from past candidates how they say one thing and do another. So it is important they at least give a yes or no to the questions below so we can have a record of and hold them accountable for how they answer. In other words, do the candidates practice what they preach or do they just preach to the choir of a given demographically defined area? These questions can be answered in any demographically defined area of the United States because they are set forth in a simple for or against type format.

1. Will they discard presidential directives of past presidents such as the one Clinton made and is still enforceable giving the U.N. control of our sovereignty in the event of a national emergency or any other directive that would in affect do away with the people’s power over issues of sovereignty of the U.S. and do they support a one-world government? Yes__ No__

2. Do they support abortion? Yes__ No__

3. Do they support gay marriage? Yes__ No__

4. Do they support socialized medicine now often referred to as Universal Healthcare? Yes__ No__

5. Do they support the president’s current comprehensive immigration policy which grants amnesty to estimated 20 million illegal immigrants already in the country and their families, which is estimated to be 60 million? Yes__ No__

6. Do they support an open border policy that allows for the free flow of goods, people, and trucking, which the current Security Prosperity Partnership crafted by the Council of Foreign Relations and to be administered through the agencies of the executive branch of the federal government demand? Yes__ No__

7. Do they support allowing Non Governmental Organizations or unelected bureaucratic shadow government bodies such as the Council on Foreign Relations to shape policy for the American people? Yes__ No__

8. Will they demand no elected official be a member of the Council on Foreign Relations or any other bureaucracy that seeks to undermine the constitution? Yes__ No__

9. Will they demand congress fulfill their constitutional obligation to provide oversight of the federal bureaucracy? Yes__ No__

Note: For every law passed by Congress, un-elected bureaucrats in government agencies pump out on average 18 new regulations, each with the force of law? Yes__ No__

10. Will they fulfill their constitutional duty to secure the borders of the U.S? Yes__ No__

11. Do they support the recently revealed North American Union crafted by the Council on Foreign Relations that joins Mexico, Canada and the U.S. into one union or country with a common currency and bypasses the senate’s constitutionally mandated duty to approve or disapprove treaties? Yes__ No__

12. Will they support the unconfirmed or proven cause of global warming as set forth by Al Gore? Yes__ No__

13. Will they support and secure Israel’s sovereignty as a nation and ally in the Middle East? Yes__ No__

14. Do they support the ACLU’s fight to erase God and the mention of His name Jesus from the public domain in America? Yes__ No__

15. Do they support the law already approved and made into law that requires all Americans to have a national I.D. card to be able to buy, sell or conduct banking business in these United States? Yes__ No__

Presidential Candidate Signature acknowledging their position on the above issues and that consistency of message is all-important to we the people of the United States. We the undersigned presidential candidates do agree that if we change our position on any of the above we will resign our candidacy and/or office if elected.
