For Black America A Time For Choosing: Belief In The Democrat Party Or Belief In God’s Laws
By Kevin "Coach" Collins
Democrats have had a war against African Americans for 200 years. The
Democrat Party’s most notable “Founding Father” was Aaron Burr a man
who plotted with Democrat Andrew Jackson to steal the Louisiana
Territories to break them up and make new slave states out of them.- Photo Credit: Donkey Hotey (Creative Commons)
James Polk a Democrat President actually traded in slaves while he was president and fired the permanent civil service staff so he could have his slaves wait on him in our White House. Through the years Democrats have picked up guns to maintain slavery and formed the Klu Klux Klan to keep freed slaves in virtual bondage after they were freed.
Woodrow Wilson brought Jim Crowe Laws to Washington where there were intact middle class Black families thriving and being supported by fathers who were working for the federal government. Democrat Wilson ended that and segregated the federal workforce.
Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” has turned out to be just a cynical trick. When he signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act (passed only with Republican votes in the Senate) Johnson proudly * remarked, “I’ll have them N^$$#@s voting Democrat for the next two hundred years.”
Clearly the Democrat Party has been filled with people who see African Americans only as voters to be “given a lift to the polls” several times every two years but not as people.
Now Democrats are in the process of stripping Black people of their religious belief, the only anchor many have to help them cope with life.
Democrats are forcing African American ministers to choose between preaching Democrat Party liberal orthodoxy and preaching the word of God from the bible. Under pain of losing social programs controlled by Democrats, some Black ministers have chosen Democrats over God and are telling their congregations Barack Obama’s pro Gay “marriage” pro sodomy polices must be quietly accepted because he is the Democrat. They are turning their back on God for Barack Obama, and asking their congregations to follow them.
This is a terrible thing to do to people but Democrats don’t care. They have been taking advantage of Black people for two hundred years.
Now is the time for Black people to choose: Will they follow Democrats or God?

WND EXCLUSIVE Obama: Slaughter of Christians a misunderstanding
Pricey 'knowledge generation' project aims to reduce such conflicts
The violence in northern Nigeria is mistakenly viewed as a religious conflict rather than simply a tribal dispute over land, according to the Obama administration.
Despite the ongoing Muslim destruction of churches and the slaughter of Christians – including many murdered during worship services – the U.S. Agency for International Development claims that the misunderstandings make it difficult to administer aid programs.
USAID, therefore, has launched a program titled Project PEACE – an acronym for Programming Effectively Against Conflict and Extremism.
PEACE says it will hire contractors to help the agency analyze the “true” causes of conflict and consequently provide more effective humanitarian and conflict-resolution assistance, according to planning documents that WND located via database research.
The cost of Obama’s new “knowledge generation, dissemination and management” initiative is $600 million.
The unveiling of PEACE comes as the slaughter of Nigerian Christians is on the rise.
As WND reported earlier this month, an international Christian ministry says Muslims recently killed hundreds of Christians gathering for worship.
Patrick Sookhdeo, international director for Barnabas Fund, said at the time: “The simple act of going to church on a Sunday has become a perilous one for Christians in many parts of Nigeria.”
Indeed, Nigerian media have reported that the Muslim jihadist group Boko Haram has pledged to “eradicate Christianity.”
The USAID documents, however, contend that Boko Haram simply shares with other groups anger “over the nation’s poor governance.”
Efforts to “improve state service capacities and working to enhance the service delivery capacity of local governments” would help reduce such anger and resultant conflicts, the agency says.
The Statement of Work governing the PEACE procurement does not say that USAID specifically plans to intervene in Nigeria. However, an accompanying guidance document explicitly cites Nigeria’s Christian-Muslim conflict as a “case study” for Obama’s global endeavor.
Supposed misconceptions about such strife interfere with attempts to prevent or mitigate problems, according to the USAID Conflict Assessment Framework 2.0 document.
“Hence, the first task of conflict management is to distinguish the symptoms of the conflict from its sources. … In other words, the sources of conflict must be addressed, just as a doctor tries to treat the disease and not just the symptoms.”
The guidance document – on which USAID requires prospective contractors to base future service proposals – then addresses the contentious state of affairs between Christian and Muslim communities in Jos, Nigeria.
Prior to mentioning, however vaguely, the frequent “clash in episodes of violence,” USAID alludes to the tendency of parties in conflict to dishonestly adopt “tactics and positions to advance their interests.”
“In some cases, particularly when the interests of key actors differ from those they claim to represent, a key actor may purposefully hide or deflect their intentions through rhetoric,” the agency says.
Specific to Nigeria, it then dismisses the religious element of the hostility.
“Yet, although the symptom of conflict is intercommunal violence along sectarian lines, the source of the conflict will not be found in theology. Rather, the conflict’s source [is] competition for land between a group that perceives itself as indigenous to the area and another seen as more recent settlers.”
Attempts to focus on the theological nature of the fighting have failed to halt the ongoing clash, since those parties purportedly ignore the underlying motivation for feuding, according to USAID: “Those who perceive the conflict as a religious war have been unable to gain traction in resolving the conflict because, at its root, it is more about the governance of contested resources.”
Grievances such as this “almost always precede physical acts of violence,” the document says, hinting that the indigenous Christian majority is the primary source of tensions with the Muslim Hausa minority.
“For example, in Nigeria, control of the city of Jos has long been a particular source of tension between the Muslim ‘settler’ Hausas and the largely Christian ‘indigenes.’
“Although the Hausas are a minority in Plateau state, they are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria overall. Thus, many Berom and other Christian groups voice fears of Hausa domination at the national level.
“Meanwhile, the Hausa minority harbors similar fears of being forced out of Jos.”
Both sides have subsequently spread “rumors” of imminent threats as well as “allegations of silent killings, weapons stockpiling, and so on,” the document continues.
“Tensions are so high that any minor incident between two individuals across the religious divide could escalate rapidly, facilitated by the barrage of hate messages and other alarmist texts sent across extensive cellular networks.
“Occasional outbreaks of violence do in fact occur.”
Contractors selected under Project PEACE would, among other tasks, analyze the historical and cultural contexts of ongoing or developing conflicts.
They also would be responsible for tapping into existing USAID resources – distributing reports on lessons learned from prior interventions, for example, or training USAID personnel in how to develop and implement new assistance programs as conflicts emerge worldwide.
In addition to ensuring that USAID program responses “are informed by an understanding of what is required for effective peacebuilding,” contractors would attempt to identify “bright spots” in the conflict.
Despite the imposition of Islamic law, or Shariah, in 12 northern Nigerian states in 1999-2000, the governor of Kaduna state brokered a political agreement between Christians Muslims that remains in force.
“As Christian-Muslim clashes have raged in nearby states, Kaduna has faced tensions and occasional fighting, but has remained relatively peaceful in the face of extremist provocations.
“One neighborhood in southern Kaduna, Barnawa, is particularly remarkable for having remained peaceful throughout the 2000 and 2002 crises,” the government documents state.
“In both instances, Christians and Muslims worked together to protect each other and to prevent outsiders who were intent on engaging in conflict from coming to their neighborhood.”
It is this sort of “bright spot” that contractors would use as a starting point to develop assistance programs and foster peace among groups in conflict and their governmental leaders, USAID believes.
USAID is holding a “pre-proposal conference” May 31 to discuss the program with interested contractors.

14 State Governors Under Fire From White House for Forming Citizen Militias Not Under Federal Control
Right now, what is keeping the new world order from really rearing its ugly head is an armed population, which is the militia at large. The State Governors and the State Legislatures are within their legal right to call up the state militia.
The state militia is not the National Guard. The State Guards or
militias proceeded before the Declaration of Independence, the Articles
of confederation and the US Constitution. The state defense forces are
the not Regular Army or a Professional force. They are unorganized and
irregular formations consisting of the people possessing arms not under a
centralized command structure.To prevent such abuses from a centralized government. The Bill of Rights were adopted by the Congress and the original 13 states. The militias and the possession of arms in the hands of a decentralized power is the alternative to having a standing army in peacetime.
The 10 Articles in the Bill of Rights was adopted as expressed in the preamble stating:
“In order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.
The Bill of rights as a means to restrain Federal; power over the sovereign states and the individual.
In the second Amendment, “A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a FREE STATE”. That means it is not the National Guard that only came into existence because of the Militia act of 1903(The Dick Act). Many anti-gun advocates on the left argued the “well regulated militia” means the National Guard, which is supposed to be under the command of the state governors. The second part of the second Amendment says after the comma states:
“The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. That means arms in the hands of the people and not a standing army in peacetime.
The original definition of militia is:
Every able bodied man and a force not under a centralized government control.
The Sheriff’s posse is the Militia at large in his county consisting of the armed populace under the Posse Comitatus. He can call up every armed person to assist him keeping order. This is why the office of Sheriff is being attacked, the tyrants are working hard trying to get rid of this elected office with an appointed yes man. They took away this office in Connecticut and now they are trying to get rid of the office in Delaware.
State guard, citizen militias and Sheriff Posse that are outside Federal control or any centralized power is legal and necessary in the preservation of liberty as an alternative to a standing army. George Washington who was the commander of the continental army that defeated the British and our first President said:
“Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good”.
What Washington also said about standing armies is:
“A standing army in peacetime is the bane of Liberty”
Now President Obama is threatening 14 State Governors for forming state defense forces outside Federal control. These forces are not the State National Guard, which is already federalized. Military formations no longer under the control of the governor and now under the Pentagon command. The President threatened these governors being tried for Treason.
I do not see an act of Treason among the 14 State Governors. What they are doing is legal and moral to form state defense forces outside federal control. President Bush signing the Military Commissions Act and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act that calls for invading states that rebel against federal rule.
In addition, President Bush signing PD-51, which is classified even congressional representatives with high-level security clearances, cannot even read the document. The President Obama signs the National defense Authorization Act 2012 and the Executive Order called the National Resource Defense Preparedness. It is good people are buying firearms and the State governors are forming State defense forces to stand against tyranny coming out of Washington. People will rather fight, than be arrested without charge to be taken to a FEMA camp.
With Obama trying to ram UN Agenda 21 trying to force people off their land into compact cities, to shut down family farms and any small industry outside the crony capitalism. President Obama thinks he is a law unto himself. He will not succeed lording over America as a dictator.
He can try to put TSA on interstates and in shopping malls. If the President thinks he can can deploy NORTHCOM troops to state capitals to overthrow sovereign states that nullify the dictator’s decrees might be Obama’s downfall showing the nation for what he really is. An arrogant despotic tyrant and a narcissist that needs to be removed or our nation falls into darkness.
The State governors forming defense forces outside centralized Federal control is Constitutional and Legal. It is their moral obligation to protect his state and the people from tyranny. It is the duty of the people to resist tyranny as a moral obligation.
When the sheriff or governor calls them up in the defense of the state when it is moral and right. The only act of treason is the imposter in the White House imposing his agenda alien to the people that is illegal and unconstitutional.
To arrest the Governor and send the Military to invade the states not going along with Obama’s illegal decrees asserting State’s rights. If he dares try it, there might be very harsh consequences he never anticipated that will be his demise. Pray for your state governors who are standing up to the Federal government so they have the courage to do what is right. They can use all the help they can get.
Ron Paul: Not Going Away
Yesterday afternoon, Minnesota was added to the list of Ron Paul wins with a stunning victory.
Out of the 40 national delegates Minnesota will send to the Tampa, Florida Republican National Convention in August, a whopping 32 are Ron Paul supporters!
It was incredible.
But the truth is, we're not done yet!
That's why, if you haven’t yet given to what is likely the final money bomb of Ron Paul's political career, hope you will contribute as generously as you can IMMEDIATELY.
You see, there are still state conventions in Iowa, Washington, Missouri, and elsewhere where we’re working feverishly to pick up new delegate spots and take over key positions within the Republican Party.
These final battles are critical to our R3VOLUTION.
Each victory not only means you and I will have greater influence on the Republican Party, but it also sends a loud and clear message that is being heard all over the country . . .
You and I are not going away – not until free markets, sound money, and respect for individual liberty are finally restored in America.
That’s always been what this campaign is all about.
So please, if you haven't yet given, please contribute as generously as you can right away!
For Liberty,
John Tate
Campaign Manager
P.S. If you haven’t yet given to what is likely the final money bomb of Ron Paul's political career, I hope you will contribute as generously as you can IMMEDIATELY.
There are still several critical fights going on throughout the country.
And each victory brings us one step closer to restoring sound money, free markets, and respect for individual liberty in America.
N.C. Teacher Tells Student He Could Be Arrested for Talking Badly About Obama
by
Mike Opelka
Last Monday, a high school student in North Carolina engaged his social studies teacher in a heated debate about politics and the two leading presidential candidates. During the exchange, the teacher (an obvious Obama supporter) got very angry with the student and accused him of disrespecting the president. She even went so far as to tell the boy that he could be jailed for speaking ill of Obama.
Sarah Campbell of the Salisbury Post first reported on the story. She claims that the school district is not releasing the name of the teacher and that she is not responding to requests for public comment (although the two students identified her to the newspaper). According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:
Our research has not turned up a single case of anyone in America being arrested for speaking ill of former President Bush. The local newspaper story also mentioned that their discussions about the story with a political science professor could not recall the arrests that the teacher was speaking about.
The entire confrontation was recorded by a student and posted on YouTube. Listen below; slight content warning for language.

According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:
“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.”So, how bad was the exchange? It got fairly heated, with the teacher shouting at times. The kerfuffle started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:
“Didn’t Obama bully somebody, though?”The teacher started to get angry and said:
“Not to my knowledge.”A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry teacher.
“Stop! Stop! Because there’s no comparison. He’s running for president. Obama is the president.”As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by the teacher. She continued:
“You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama is. There’s no comparison.”Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the histories of both men, with one saying:
“If you’re gonna talk trash about one side, you gotta talk trash about the other.”The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:
“You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment right.
“I’ll say what I want.”The still unidentified teacher read the student her rules…her Obama rules.
“Not about him, you won’t!”The back and forth continued and the most strident of the two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to negative statements about him while he was in office:
“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about him.”To which the teacher responded:
“Because he was sh-tty.”The social studies educator went on for a full minute with more ranting, saying that people were arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be arrested unless you threaten the president.
Our research has not turned up a single case of anyone in America being arrested for speaking ill of former President Bush. The local newspaper story also mentioned that their discussions about the story with a political science professor could not recall the arrests that the teacher was speaking about.
The entire confrontation was recorded by a student and posted on YouTube. Listen below; slight content warning for language.
