CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez died of a massive heart attack and inaudibly mouthed his desire to live, the head of Venezuela’s presidential guard said late Wednesday. “He couldn’t speak but he said it with his lips … ‘I don’t want to die.

Texas Straight Talk: A New Years Message to Congress
posted by Joel Taylor
Congressman Ron Paul, like him or not, hits his target on the bull’s-eye on two issues in a New Years message to Congress. I only wish they would heed the message and act accordingly. Personally, I won’t hold my breath. First, to the Congress, “follow the Constitution in 2013!” Secondly, “Seeking total security leads to […]
The Kneeling Camel

The camel at the close of day Kneels down upon the sandy plain To have his burden lifted off, And rest again. My soul, thou too shouldst to thy knees When daylight draweth to a close, And let thy Master lift thy load, And grant repose. Else how canst thou tomorrow meet, With all tomorrow’s […]
Patriotic Idolatry

By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.’ – Isaiah 45:23 The Lord would have us pledge allegiance, that is, swear an oath, to none other than Himself as the One True King. […]
To Whom It May Concern–If You’re Black
posted by Joel Taylor
At least once, someone has to say it. If you were not actually born in Africa, then you are not “African-American.” You are not special. No one owes you a thing. If you’re parents were born in Chicago or anywhere else in America, you are not a descendant of slavery. You just want to cash in on […]
Reconstruction: The Conquest of the Southern Mind
posted by Joel Taylor
The North defeated the South in war, crushed and humiliated it in peace, and waged war against it a war of intellectual and spiritual conquest. In this conquest the North fixed upon the South the stigma of war guilt, of slave guilt, of treason and thereby shook the faith of its people in their way […]
Actually Billy, We Did Start the Fire
posted by Joel Taylor
We started ‘the fire’ when we, in Adam, our federal head, sinned against God. Since that very moment, every human has been conceived and born in sin. So, it’s not surprising, is it, that in all of history’s sinful activity by mankind, even those things we deem enjoyable, are yet sinful, apart from Christ.
What Do We Worship Today?

Pictured: The Stuart Hughes iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition: $8 million A central question is: “What do we worship today?” We like to answer, “God”, but if we open our eyes, we find the true answers. The American Empire accepts and proliferates many false gods. The American Empire expects a good citizen to give his […]
Abraham Lincoln: White Supremacist–How Do You Like Him Now?
posted by Joel Taylor
In spite of many high profile preachers and theologians espousing the example of Abraham Lincoln, a.k.a ‘Honest Abe’ *cough*, and repeatedly singing his praises much to what should be their chagrin, I can only remind everyone who admires the historical myth-man the following: Abraham Lincoln was more of a white supremacist as well as a […]
Two History Books for Your Library
posted by Joel Taylor
Here are a couple of books regarding history that I highly recommend and believe every Christian should have on their bookshelves. There are plenty more I will probably recommend in the future, but these two are a good start. In my opinion, they are “must-haves”. 1. History of the United States – Alexander H. […]
A Poem on the Bible

In Genesis, the world was made In Exodus, the march is told Leviticus contains the law; In Numbers are the tribes enrolled. In Deuteronomy again, We’re urged to keep God’s law alone; And these five Books of Moses make The oldest holy writing known. Brave Joshua to Canaan leads; In Judges, oft the Jews rebel; […]

An African-American Icon Speaks Truth To The Lincoln Cult
posted by Joel Taylor
Since reading The Real Lincoln by Thomas J. DiLorenzo some years ago, I have been amazed at the perpetuity of the myths surrounding Abraham Lincoln. To be quite honest, the mere mention of the man makes me cringe. The atrocities and war crimes sanctioned by this man and his blatant dismissal of the Constitution and […]
Paternalism – The Dry Rot of American Government
posted by Joel Taylor
The state cannot aid men without enfeebling their energies and imperiling their self-reliance. Such a condition goes on for a century or so, and by and by the people, who gradually have been losing independence and self-initiative, become an easy prey to the man on horseback…. The Treasury of the United States has been opened […]
