John J. Dwyer's Abraham Lincoln, Stepfather of Our Country

“Anyone who embarks on a study of Abraham Lincoln … must first come to terms with the Lincoln myth. The effort to penetrate the crust of legend that surrounds Lincoln … is both a formidable and intimidating task. Lincoln, it seems, requires special considerations that are denied to other figures.”

— Robert W. Johannsen
Lincoln, the South, and Slavery

Indeed, it would not seem a safe time to critique the wisdom, motivations, and character of Abraham Lincoln. Steven Spielberg’s reverential motion picture epic Lincoln fills screens across America. The public increasingly accepts him as America’s greatest leader. Academics from the Left — and Right — compete to bestow the grandest laurels on the 16th president.

Yet, such a pursuit is ever more important for a people hurtling forward into an uncertain future, to learn from past mistakes or merely become aware they made them. One growing consensus regarding Lincoln seems credible: He has exerted more influence over the development of this nation than any other person, including the Founders. If Washington be the father of our country, surely Lincoln is its stepfather.

This article will examine the significance of this truly larger-than-life figure’s actions regarding three of the many important issues of his time: 1) the Constitution, in particular during the War Between the States, 2) emancipation and blacks, and 3) the Radical Republicans and Reconstruction.

 JBS CEO, Art Thompson speaking at nullification conf.




Some seem to worship the Constitution. We are Constitutionalists insofar as the Constitution is Biblical. Our rights come from God. He secures our rights, yet every generation must fight to preserve our God-given rights. 


Tom Woods is the New York Times bestselling author of eleven books, including Meltdown


and The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.




A senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, he holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Harvard and his master’s, M.Phil., and Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Through historical writings, case studies, and speeches by the Founding Fathers, Woods will give you a logical, moral, and constitutionally sound case for nullification, revealing:
  • How we can roll back Obamacare, cap and trade, and other unconstitutional expansions of federal power through nullification
  • Why the Founding Fathers believed that nullification was the “moderate middle ground”
  • Why the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution reserves to the states the power to nullify unconstitutional laws
  • Why states – not the Supreme Court – should arbitrate disputes between the states and the federal government over the constitutionality of the federal government’s actions. ~from Tom Woods Site

Voddie Baucham on Assault Weapons and Homosexual Marriage

Having grown up in south central Los Angeles, I cannot say that I have always been an gun enthusiast. I used to think guns were only used for shooting people down in the streets. I never wanted to own a gun. Nor did I think anyone should...

The JBS Council Dinner

A retired engineer for McDonell Douglas tells Regina about mercury, his daughter in Alaska, corn syrup. He thinks bees may be dying because of genetically engineered crops.
Margaret Fang, who was born in Taiwan after her parents fled Communist China,
sang our Nation Anthem and God Bless America
The gentleman on this end, Mr. Clark Curry,

spoke on wonderful things happening in Oklahoma.

Afterwards we had a delightful time talking with him.

He was instrumental in getting

The Truth Project shown in many churches,

followed by Mr. McManus's excellent Overview of America.

"Don't forget the spiritual factor."

Mr. Curry said, reminded us in his talk,

Psalm 128:1 "Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,

who walks in His ways!"

One of the most influential men in their coalition is a window washer.

He and his wife were unable to have children.

Both are dedicated Christians and Birch members with a heart for people. He washes windows listening to talk shows, staying up on news and researches.

State legislatures - even Senators -- call him regularly for advice on legislation.

They call him "The Professor."

Oklahoma was the only state to increase in Republican legislators-

-for the first time in 100 years Republicans are the majority in OK senate.

Through the efforts of some great people there,

these legislators are better educated then most Republicans

and voted to stop the NAFTA Super highway in Oklahoma.

OK-SAFE started by George Wallace

surveys candidates asking them questions,

like "Where to rights come from?"

(Hint: whoever gives rights has the power to take them away.)

The Declaration of Independence says, people are

"endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights…

and for the protection of these rights governments are instituted among men.”

Candidates are invited to speak,

debate and answer questions.

OK-SAFE then endorses and supports

candidates they see are best.

Out of 56 they endorsed, 35 won in the last election.

Wednesday the legislature voted to

overturn the call for a Constitutional Convention 90 to 6.

John McManus with Mrs. Patty Compeon

Mrs. Compeon was born in Mexico came here as a girl with her family.

She is a school teacher, mother of three and
the the brave wife of former Border Patrol Agent, Jose Compeon.
Mr Compeon and Ignacio Ramos were convicted two years ago
after shooting at a drug smuggler
they thought had pulled a gun on them.
The same smuggler was caught bringing another load
across the border during their trial.
The jury was not told.

"My [extended] family in Mexico tells me that
there are tanks in the streets to control the violence.
They would love to be here, but, they will not come illegally."

Mr. Baldwin on Lou Dobbs said,

"Let's set the record straight McCain would be no different then Obama

when it comes to the growing police state, immigration or spending."

He said that McCain, on seeing Obama's choice of cabinet members said,

"I could not be more pleased with the people Mr. Obama chose for his cabinet.

I would have chosen the same myself."

Obama is not going to end the war.

It will mearly be shifted to another country Afghanistan then likly Pakistan.

"Perpetual war is a tool of globalists to enslave us here at home."

Mrs. Compeon thanked everyone for their prayers.

"I am here by the grace of God, after being a single mother for two years.

without your prayers I would not be here, I would be curled up in a corner somewhere."

"You have been fighting the battle for -- 50 years? I want to stand with you."


"I say all across America The New American is the greatest news magazine in America.
I even got my mother-in-law reading it."
"It was a grueling campaign, but great to speak especially at colleges...
There is still a hungering and thirsting for liberty."
Chuck Baldwin described students who came because he was a candidate,
or because Ron Paul had endorsed him, who were sceptical.
By the end they were taking all the literature they had and passing it out.

Dinah, Mrs. Compeon, Regina, Esther & Melody

"My mother-in-law told me
she prayed for her son that God would use him.
She thought maybe as a priest. "
She didn't dream God would use him before the whole nation
with two years of solitary confinement after a railroaded trial.
Patty laughed, "I said 'God, there you go with your since of humor.'"

The American Form of Government

This video is made by our dear friend John McManus who simply explains forms of government.

Many think good government is too complicated to understand. The scripture commands us that in our getting, get understanding. God can use us, just like Daniel in his time. Problems do not mean the end of the world is here. God may give us another thousand years. Our job is to occupy until He comes. Our prayer is "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."

Doug Phillips on the Tenth Ammendment

Doug and son, Joshua at the Alamo
San Antonio Tea Party
April 15, 2009

Amendment X:
The powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the states,
are reserved to the states respectively,
or to the people.

What does this mean in plain English?
Here is what that means:
The federal government
is NOT our nanny.
It is NOT our mother.
It is NOT our doctor.
It is NOT the high priest of a new secular religion.
And despite the remarkably arrogant statements of politicians...
The state is NOT our Savior.
That designation is reserved to one person only--
The Lord Jesus Christ who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords
and to whom the author of Psalm 2
declares that the nations of the earth
are to bow to Him.

South Valley Tea Party

T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) Parties sprang up all over the nation this April 15.
From the oil field to the refinery:).
A long train of oil tank cars blocked our way to the civic center.
I am thankful for industry still here in the valley.
Our friend, "Indian John," and Melody

Audrey W. helping her family

Her mother, Melanie said,
"I don't want my children enslaved
under such an enormous tax burden
that they can never retire or live a normal life.
This is not just about taxes
it's about the need to represent the people
and not just special interest groups."



The Federal Reserve is neither Federal or a Reserve.
It is a private bank owned by several other banks, half of which are oversees.
Ron Paul has put forward a bill to audit the Fed.

Casey B. a life long resident of the city,
came with his wife and two daughters.
"Kids nowadays don't realize what this country is really about."
He wants his girls to be prepared.

When Israel asked for a king "like all the other nations." God warned them that he would take the best of their vinyards and olive groves, the best of their young men, to serve in his army, their daughters to be his perfumers, cooks and bakers and the best of their servants.
Israel was asking for bondage.
God told Samuel "They have not rejected you,
they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them." I Samuel 8

Organizers estimate 1500-2000 people were standing
in front of the Civic Center and Liberty Bell.
A security officer pointed out that the crowd was overflowing unto the street.

This TEA Party, was organized by first grade teacher Julie D.



Robbie B. from Great Britain

Talk show host Inga Barks emphasized taking back responsibility:
"We've got to lean on each other. We've got to give to charity."

Children carried hand written signs: "Fiscal Child Abuse" and "Stop Mortgaging My Future"
"it is immoral to this [debt] on to our children." Taft College professor Harold Pease said.

Pastor Chad Vargas closed in prayer.
He thanked the sound man Mike, for volunteering.
"The sad thing is he is able to be here because his business, Stockdale Music,
was put out of business by taxation and regulation."

Taylor C.

Businessman John Lake told the gathered crowd that he'd asked his accountants to show how much money of the business revenue went to taxes.
Their conclusion? 67 cents on every dollar, leaving only 33 left.
"There is no easier money to spend then someone else's money.
The Government cannot give anything it does not take from someone else -- that's you!"

Indian John answering a question about why Ron Paul is for
repealing Lincoln's 14th ammendment.
The ammendment allows for everyone born in the US
to automatically be a citizen.
The problem is, it is now used for illigal immigration
and instant qualification for welfare benefits.
