Men Are Happier People

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Her wedding shopping takes forever. His tux rental is simple. One mood all the time. You can be in charge without having to sweat with the details. You'll never be pregnant. You don't have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You recall only the selectively important details of life, and don’t bother with the rest. You never worry about what to wear. You don’t know why your wife keeps buying you more clothes when the closet is full and older ones are perfectly fine. You can be ready to go in no time. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase (full of books). You can fall asleep anywhere. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, it's just one less obligation.
Your underwear is $14.95 for a three-pack. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. The same hairstyle lasts till its gone. You don't have to shave. 
The garage is all yours. You can play with toys all your life. “Running and working out” is an occupation.  One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can “do” your nails with a pocket knife. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.

Anthony Hervey

"Hervey’s interest in the Confederate flag and the war began when he discovered that his own great-great-uncle, James Hervey, was one of those black Confederate soldiers. His ancestor served in the Army of Mississippi, and was killed at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, in southwestern Tennessee, near the state line of Mississippi.
According to Hervey’s research, at least 100,000 black Confederates fought in the Civil War.

Accompanied by his brother Harry, Anthony began marching in 2000 along U.S. Highway 90, dressed in Confederate gray, carrying the Confederate “battle flag.” Harry wore a Robert E. Lee T-shirt. At the time, Hervey explained, “I am marching for freedom. The battle flag stands for freedom and states’ rights.”
He argued in 2000:
We currently live under a psychological form of reconstruction. Whites are made to feel guilty for sins of their ancestors, and blacks are made to feel downtrodden. This keeps all of us from communicating. The political correctness of today is killing the pride of the people."



After the speech, he was run off the road. Here's the story:

Dominion

We have work to do, repairing the fences, proclaiming God’s sovereign power and grace unto salvation, exercising dominion and subduing the earth in His name, and rejoicing together as heirs of “the grace of life” (1 Pet. 3:7). ~ R. J. Rushdoony

What is post-millennialism?


Postmillennialism is the belief that, before Christ returns, by the power of the Spirit, the kingdom of Jesus Christ will grow to enjoy a period of prosperity and growth through-out the world through the Church's faithfulness in fulfilling the Great Commission. In general, the nations of the world will be converted (cf. Genesis 12:3; Psalm 22:25-31; Isaiah 11:9; etc.).

Reconstructionists go a step further to say that the converted nations will seek to order their common social and political life according to the Word of God in Scripture (cf. Isaiah 2:2-4;65:17-25; etc.).

To put it more simply, postmillennialism is the affirmation that Christ "must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet" (l Corinthians 15:25). While men will always be sinners until Jesus returns, the Spirit will progressively turn the hearts of men away from unbelief and sin to righteousness and faith.

Postmillennialism does not teach that a sinless utopia will be established before Christ returns, but simply insists that where sin abounded, grace much more abounded (Romans 5:20).

Reagan Dept. of Educ. insider, Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt



Great lady! Charlotte Iserbyt has been speaking up for a long time. I am thankful that she helped us see that even when "Uncle Ronnie" was in the Whitehouse, it was no time for conservatives to relax.

Raise the Confederate Flag - Chuck Baldwin

Ladies and gentlemen, I submit that what we see happening in the United States today is an apt illustration of why the Confederate flag was raised in the first place. What we see materializing before our very eyes is tyranny: tyranny over the freedom of expression, tyranny over the freedom of association, tyranny over the freedom of speech, and tyranny over the freedom of conscience.

In 1864, Confederate General Patrick Cleburne warned his fellow southerners of the historical consequences should the South lose their war for independence. He was truly a prophet. He said if the South lost, “It means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy. That our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by all of the influences of History and Education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.” No truer words were ever spoken.  

History revisionists flooded America’s public schools with Northern propaganda about the people who attempted to secede from the United States, characterizing them as racists, extremists, radicals, hatemongers, traitors, etc. You know, the same way that people in our federal government and news media attempt to characterize Christians, patriots, war veterans, constitutionalists, et al. today.

Folks, please understand that the only people in 1861 who believed that states did NOT have the right to secede were Abraham Lincoln and his radical Republicans. To say that southern states did not have the right to secede from the United States is to say that the thirteen colonies did not have the right to secede from Great Britain. One cannot be right and the other wrong. If one is right, both are right. How can we celebrate our Declaration of Independence in 1776 and then turn around and condemn the Declaration of Independence of the Confederacy in 1861? Talk about hypocrisy!

In fact, southern states were not the only states that talked about secession. After the southern states seceded, the State of Maryland fully intended to join them. In September of 1861, Lincoln sent federal troops to the State capital and seized the legislature by force in order to prevent them from voting. Federal provost marshals stood guard at the polls and arrested Democrats and anyone else who believed in secession. A special furlough was granted to Maryland troops so they could go home and vote against secession. Judges who tried to inquire into the phony elections were arrested and thrown into military prisons. There is your great “emancipator,” folks.

And before the South seceded, several northern states had also threatened secession. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island had threatened secession as far back as James Madison’s administration. In addition, the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware were threatening secession during the first half of the nineteenth century--long before the southern states even considered such a thing.

People say constantly that Lincoln “saved” the Union. Lincoln didn’t save the Union; he subjugated the Union. There is a huge difference. A union that is not voluntary is not a union. Does a man have a right to force a woman to marry him or to force a woman to stay married to him? In the eyes of God, a union of husband and wife is far superior to a union of states. If God recognizes the right of husbands and wives to separate (and He does), to try and suggest that states do not have the right to lawfully (under Natural and divine right) separate is the most preposterous proposition imaginable.

People say that Lincoln freed the slaves. Lincoln did NOT free a single slave. But what he did do was enslave free men. His so-called Emancipation Proclamation had NO AUTHORITY in the southern states, as they had separated into another country. Imagine a President today signing a proclamation to free folks in, say, China or Saudi Arabia. He would be laughed out of Washington. Lincoln had no authority over the Confederate States of America, and he knew it.

Saint Andrew's Cross - Confederate Battle Flag

The star in the center is for the State of Maryland. When it came time for Maryland to vote, President Lincoln had the Maryland government legislatures locked up so they could not vote. Some today may not realize that Maryland is a Southern state. 
This is a heritage we all can claim.

Red - Valor of Confederacy
White - Purity - Christianity
Blue - Justice
Stars - Southern States fighting to succeed from the tariff tyranny of the north.  [There were slaves in both north and south. This was NOT the cause of the war.]

Cross - What looks like an X on the "Confederate Jack" is actually the cross of Saint Andrew. Andrew was the disciple of Jesus who was the first martyr. When the Roman government set about his crucifixion, Andrew protested. He asked to be crucified in the form of the X as he didn't feel worthy to die in the same manner of Jesus. The Confederate leadership apparently felt inspired by Andrew's fortitude and adopted his cross into their flag.


Here is a quote of a black man who fought for the Confederacy from a sermon by John Weaver.
You see the Confederate Battle Flag is not a racist symbol and it never has been. One of my favorite stories is about a black representative, John F. Harris, who was a legislator in Washington County, Mississippi. And he had the opportunity to vote for Senate Bill #25, which was a bill to erect a Confederate Monument on the Capitol Square in Jackson, Mississippi. Now the bill did pass and Mr. Harris, who was sick and got out of his bed to give his speech before the Senate, did so and, on February 23, 1890, the Daily Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Mississippi printed his speech in full. Let me read a portion of it to you. He says, 

"Mr. Speaker, I have arisen here in my place to offer a few words on the bill. I have come from a sick bed. Perhaps it was not prudent for me to come, but Sir I could not rest quietly in my room without contributing a few remarks of my own. I was sorry to hear the speech of the young gentlemen from Marshall County. I am sorry that any son of a soldier should go on record as opposed to the erection of a monument in honor of their brave dead. And Sir, I am convinced that had he seen what I saw at Seven Pines and in the seven days fighting around Richmond, the battle field covered with the mangled forms of those who fought for their country and for their countries honor, he would not have made that speech. When the news came that the South had been invaded, those men went forth to fight for what they believed. And they made no requests for monuments. But they died and their virtues should be remembered. Sir, I went with them. I too wore the Grey. The same color my master wore. We stayed four long years and if that war had gone on until now, I would have been there yet. I want to honor those brave men who died for their convictions. When my mother died I was a boy. Who Sir, then acted the part of a mother to the orphaned slave boy but my old misses. Was she living now or could speak to me from those high realms where gathered the sainted dead, she would tell me to vote for this bill and, Sir, I shall vote for it. I want it known to all the world that my vote is given in favor of a bill to erect a monument in honor of the Confederate dead."

Here was a man, a black man, who wore the Confederate gray and he understood the War was not a racist War. Now, let me tell you, the Confederate Flag is not a racist flag.

The early KKK protected blacks. Later northerners dressed like them and attacked the blacks to cause racial dissension in the South. Here’s a little on that subject:

Vegetable Pulp Crackers

Prepare a delicious veggie juice and drink! Save the leftover juice pulp for use in this recipe. 
We juice 3 zucchini, 2 lbs. carrots, a head of celery, 2 green apples, a beet, and greens if available, a few leaves of swiss chard or kale, a lemon, a lime and a knob of ginger.
Juicer Link:

Raw Vegetable Juice Pulp Crackers

2 1/2 cups leftover vegetable pulp
1 1/2 cups water (less than)
1 large chili
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. ground paprika
¼ t. ground chipotle chili pepper
¼ t. ground ancho chili pepper
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
Combine the above ingredients in a Vita-Mix blender or other food processor.
Add these using a Bosch or mixing bowl 
1/2 cup flaxseeds
1/2 cup ground flax meal
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1 c ground almonds

 Spread the mixture over the sheets of a dehydrator sprinkled with ground sesame seed and using a rolling pin, roll to about 3-4mm thickness (it will help to use baking paper or plastic wrap between the mixture and your rolling pin). Score lines on the surface to your desired cracker shape. Dehydrate at 115º F. for approximately 12 - 24 hours. Remove, break along the scored lines. Store in an airtight container in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer.

Pizza Base: Roll them out to the size of a pizza base (and leave them a little thicker than a cracker) and dehydrate them for less time (so not super crunchy). You could then spread them with some homemade pesto, fresh cherry tomatoes, olives...any of your favorite combos
How about a wrap? Give them about 4 hours on one side and flip them over for another few hours or until it is pliable enough to wrap around your chosen salad ingredients
Add leftover cooked quinoa to the pulp for a health addition.
You'll need:
* If you don't have a dehydrator, an oven on 120º F or 50 degrees Celsius will produce a similar result.
