Ron Paul Interview On Fox News Sunday: Talks Fema, Libya, Mises & More

Best ever interview ~David

Why do you think the republican presidential hopefuls are being asked whether Creation or Evolution should be taught in the public schools?

The media is highly religious. The media has a religion and they would like to see that the rulers of this nation be those who adhere to their religion. They don’t believe in the separation of church and state; they believe that the church is the State, and they want to identify those who may be apostatizing from the church of the State. So they’re asking these questions to see, ‘Are you a member of good standing in the humanist church of the State?’

Evolution and Feminism are basic foundational doctrines of Statism. They’re asking these questions to find out if they are rebels from the “faith.”

Herschel Walker on working out

National Debt

The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Let's put the 2011 federal budget into perspective: 

U.S. income: $2,170,000,000,000 

Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000 

New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000 

National debt: $14,271,000,000,000 

Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1 percent of the budget)

It helps to think about these numbers in terms that we can relate to. Therefore, let's remove eight zeros from these numbers and pretend this is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family. 

Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700 

Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200 

Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500 

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710 

Amount cut from the budget: $385 

You tell me, are we making any progress on the US debt issue? It seems to me that all of this talk is just another political smoke screen.

Family Reformation

‎"We shouldn't minimize the significance of the role that hospitality plays in Reformation. The conversations that Luther had around his dinner table effected the Reformation as much as, or perhaps more than, his sermons. That is not to downplay importance of sermons, but rather to raise the importance of relationships, real-life examples, & practical conversations about Biblical ideas." ~Scott Brown

Fetal Lungs Provide a Signal Initiating Labor

"A protein released from the lungs of a developing mouse fetus initiates a cascade of chemical events leading to the mother's initiation of labor, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have found.

The research, which has implications for humans, marks the first time a link between a specific fetal lung protein and labor has been identified, said Dr. Carole Mendelson, professor of biochemistry and obstetrics and gynecology and senior author of the study. The paper appears in an upcoming issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and is currently available online.

The initiation of term labor is carefully timed to begin only after the embryo is sufficiently mature to survive outside the womb..."

R. J. Rushdoony

“The roots of our present crises were present in the early 20th century. The churches had no concerns with preaching or teaching the law of Scripture relative to politics, economics, education and much else. As a result, the churches helped rear a generation which is now actively destroying all the foundations of Christian Civilization.”

Is anxiety idolatry?

Anxiety is failure to pray to the right person. Throughout man's history he has unceasingly prayed to himself in the form of anxiety and worry.

Whenever a man is ruled by a spirit of autonomy, he is then capable essentially of self prayer only. He worries, frets, and cudgels his brains in order to ferret out the secret of salvation within himself…Autonomy is marked by anxiety.

Why is George Soros selling gold and buying farmland?

"During those years after WWII, if you wanted to rent an apartment, buy a house or find a place to live, cash was worthless and even GOLD wasn't considered very useful. The only thing that represented real wealth was FOOD. If you had food, you could trade it for anything: an automobile, a home, tools, clothing or even land. If you didn't have food, you were bankrupt; regardless of how much cash or gold you had."

Courtship - Marrying Well

“Do You Believe in Courtship?” | Western Conservatory

"Students will discover that the unmarried need to find out some detailed information about each other before they can begin to discern whether the match is a wise one...God’s created order holds the answers for families and their children so that they can marry well."

Sampson lived by his eyes. Not until his enemies plucked them out, was he able to see spiritually.

Getting together as whole families

Working together

You are not looking for a spreadsheet; you are looking for a godly [spouse].

...I was trying to make a decision to move forward or not. Is there anyone else out there who is better for Nadia than me? Better disciple her, better wash her with the water of the word. Thought about other young men. After two months of intensive conversation, still dedicated to Nadia’s well being. It would have hurt a lot. But, I would have been willing to give her up because I loved Nadia. Would you be willing to take a bullet emotionally for the woman you love? This is only possible if you are in Christ, to love with purity of heart and motive. Diligently search out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Ashley says her husband Jared tried to come to grips with what he'd seen and done on his eight deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"And there's no way that any God would forgive him - that he was going to hell," says Ashley. "He couldn't live with that any more."

Al & Rosemary - A Dynamic Duo

Al & Rosemary had children and were divorced after their spouses left them. Al said to God, "I picked out the last [wife]. Lord, You pick out this one." She was 29 and Al was 42 when they married. 

When he proposed, Rosemary said, "Yes" with the condition that she put away his engagement ring and get to know Al for a year.  If for any reason either wanted out, they could do so. Rosemary believes this one-year test is biblical, yet it was very hard on him. 

I asked if their children tried to put a wedge between them. She said that was a real problem. It took great trust in God for them to stand as a team. Eventually his children learned to love her, but that took some time.  

Al is active at 85 and is still farming early till late six days a week. He eats mostly vegetarian with fish three times a week and other meat about three or four times a year. "

Incestuous Marriage

Muslims have a religion that has its goal of conquering the whole world for Islam, and terrible punishments for “sinning,” like the cutting off of hands for petty thievery, stoning for infidelity, and beheading for whatever; we cannot take them at their word because for them it is ok to lie to non-believers, so swearing allegiance to our constitution may not be a real commitment to “assimilate” and tolerate the rest of us; and it is part of Muslim heritage to get accepted by foreign lands, and when they get enough votes, convert the foreign lands into Muslim territories. Now we find that they have a high chance of limited brain function and may not understand that we may object to some of their cherished beliefs.
