Hopelessness can lead to desprate acts, behaviors and atrocities
Just as absolute power corupts absolutly -
But to Justify it is as well Criminal - We cannot excuse everything away - We have to learn to deal with what is happening in reality and love through it - There are lessons to be learned so lets learn them so this can all stop.
We as human beings have a duty to one another to spead the Gospel to the world and in that Peace and Love will Reign

Forgotten Heros

There are so many forgotten black heroes in American history. I am not sure which is worse, that our public schools don't teach about them on a regular basis or that our culture would like to forget them too. I mean we talk about Grover Washington and Malcolm X and others, but what about those guys that are part of the fabric of America? We have been through so much as a people and not to take away from the atrocities, struggles and victories of other races which have faced similar persecutions, but we as blacks have so much to be proud of. We have overcome dark and appalling times. Being brought to America unwillingly, stolen by Muslim slave catchers in Africa and sold to Dutch trades coming to America in 1619 when the first slave arrived, and it is OK. Although the Constitution of the US was not written till 1787, ratified two years later, this is when our political history begins. Through this we have become the fiber of American Society. Without us America*s beginning economy probably would not have prospered so quickly. Morally we brought about reformation forcing people to really stand up for what they believed was right. Since the beginning of America our founding fathers (such as Samuel Adams, John Adams, Stephen Hopkins, Benjamin Rush and many more who signed the Declaration of Independence), were fighting for the rights of slaves (All men are created equal), having to fight the ignorant and the unjust, those scared of the unknown and those who were simply vicious and without conscience. True, it took a civil war to get it right and 200 years; but it shows not only the human spirit but the tenacity of our people and how the favor of God is with us. It was James A. Garfield our 20th President who was able to witness the final chapter in the deliverance of African Americans from slavery in America. Proclaiming, "With unquestionable devotion to the Union-with a patience and gentleness not born of fear-they have followed the light as God gave them to see light." Now I know it took so much longer and so much suffering to truly get respect from a whole nation, but it did come. Now we as a people need to claim that and have victory in our minds and fight the last type of slavery they can pawn off on you, slavery of the mind. Pitting us against each other, trying to make us believe we have not come far, that we are not part of America, that we cannot succeed without help, without government, without violence. We need to take back our neighborhoods and stop poisoning ourselves with drugs and the devils of this world: fear, mammon and ignorance. Ignorance being one of the most incontrolabel beasts. We have the favor of God so let's act like it and take what is ours! Let*s take a look and really see some of those heroes who have so changed our lives and brought freedom to so many blacks and whites alike. James Armistead: A spy who helped make possible the 1781 Yorktown victory.
Peter Salem: Hero of one battle was 1775 's Battle of Bunker Hill. A monument was erected to his memory in Massachusetts to commemorate his life and deeds.
Fredrick Douglas: Helped recruit the first black regiment to fight for the Union. Advised Abraham Lincoln. Received appointments from Republican Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and James A. Garfield. Was removed by Grover Cleveland (Dem) and reappointed by Benjamin Harrison (Republican). Douglas was taught the constitution was the pro slavery document and accepted this and later researched and recanted those statements. He said, "The Constitution is a glorious liberty document. Read its preamble, consider its purpose. Is slavery among them?"
The single "pro slavery" clause, the Three-fifths clause was a way to limit the power of slave owners of the south who would use the slaves as a person to strengthen slavery. The slave owners would count the slaves as regular inhabitants and by doing so increased the number of pro-slavery representatives to Congress. Therefore as a way to thwart this the Three-fifths clause came into effect. The founding fathers had to weigh this and take caution, but as long as the slave owners could use the slaves this way the abolishment of slavery would be nearly impossible; it increased slave-owner power too much. So the compromise the Pro abolishers and Slave owners came to was; they could count 65 of the slaves.
Rev. Absalom Jones: the first black Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America. Oh and the church was founded by Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and co-founder with Benjamin Franklin of the first abolition society in America.
Rev. Richard Allen: Famous black minister who preached at a large white mega church and started his Bethel Church which birtehd the AME denomination.
Prince Whipple & Oliver Cromwell: are depicted at the front of the boat in the famous picture of the 1776 crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night with George Washington.
John Rock: the first African American attorney to be introduced to Congress.
Reverend Charles: " C.L" Jackson: You find out who he was!
The names go on and on. These are but a few. I do want to go on as there is such a long and rich history here. *They* would love for you to never hear, that we would not only remain ignorant, but continue to fall for lies and deceit. But for now I am all out of room. Until next time my friends.

ACLU just some thoughts .......

Ok where to start not sure really but here it goes

Founder OF THE American Civil Liberties Union is Roger Baldwin he siad
" I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimatley for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property , the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. " ( in a book written by Peggy Lamson)
Lets start wit I guess some of the guides of the ACLU and positons
1- All legal prohabitions on the distrabution of obscene material - including child pornography- are unconstatutional
2- Pornagraphic outlets can locte whereve they please - Near daycare centers, residential neighborhoods - churches NO mtter
3- Tax-funded libraries should not restrict access of children to pornography on the Internet
4-Parents should have no legal recousre when it comes to sheilding their children from exposure to hard core Pornography
5-The military cannot enforce even the most basic codes of conduct- such as disipline for disrespectful behavior towards a superior officer
6- Parets cannot limit their children's exposure to or participation in public school classes and assemblies, any topic, except Orthodox Hewish or Christian teachings - that violates the family's core religious and moral beliefs
7- Public schools cannot observe recognized reliogous , historical and culturla holidays such as Cristmas, Easter, Hnukka, diespite hundreds of years of American tradition
8- all legislative , military, and prison chaplaincy programs should be abolished
9- All crimianl and civil laws that prohibit polgamy and same sex marriage should b done away with

The ACLU also looks to force international law ( at least their selective view of) onthe American people with complete disregaurd for american sovereignty and the US Constitution - The Constituiton has become an unrecognizable "living, breathing document" with "emanations form penumbras" including bizzare interpretaions that has led to the deaths of more thatn 46 million of our nations children( causeing a whole ripple effecct of issues form a social security crisis to underage minors getting leagl abortions with their parents never needing to know a thing - leagally) The virant shield of protection the FIRST AMENDMENT was ment to provide for religious fredom, freedom that millions fled other countires to enjoy , has now become a sword to use against people of faith.

The ACLU has done this by making a a country of litigation and by bringing lawsuit after lawsuit usually threathing to bring often crippling expensive lawsuits even on claims it would aADMIT had little or no merit - They have been paving a foundation for their agenda for years . Teh have a $45 million budget and try to exhust the will, resources and stength of those who stand against them
Many times as well the ACLU picks fights with which they can win by default because no one witha real stake in the outcome showed up to leagaly confront their demands.
( esepciall y inthe past before we relized their tactics )

HOW ABOUT SOME QUOTES and stuff NOW
Founder OF THE American Civil Liberties Union is Roger Baldwin
he siad
" I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimatley for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property , the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. " ( in a book written by Peggy Lamson)

The ACLU was founded in 1920 By Roger Baldwin and agnostic socialist who demonstrated communist learnings - His two biggest infulences o heros as he said were Margaret Sanger ( a eugenist who founded Planned Parenthood - Eugenics was here goal for starting Planned Parent hood she said - is was practiced by the Nazis in Germany in pursuit of their goal of a "master race" by surpressing the birth rate of "inferiors" such as the poor, handicapped and racial minorities and in fact Hitler admired Sanger and Baldwin spke almost glowingly of her Her role in forming the foundations of the Baldwin ACLU is unquestionable ) and the other was Emma "Red Emma" Goldman or the " RED Queen of Anarchy" she conspired to kill Henry Clay Frick of Carnegie Steel and founded the anarchist Mother Earth magazine and eventually deported to Russia in 1919 - Goldmans friendship with Baldwin served as his introduction to her mentor Pince Peter Alexeevich Kropotkin a Russian revolutionary
One thing Baldwin leaned from Goldman s ell was how to mask his true agenda ans disguise it in a way to get the eleties on his side - This would be a straegy they would reaptedly use to gain access to funding from the wealthy ahile at the same time working to destroy many of the core values of the free enterprise system that led to teh creation of their wealt . Brilliant in so many ways really - h sorry off point -
Baldwins family were Uniterians " ~We Unitarians knew we were very advanced people and that the other churches were backward"
Former ACLU president Noram Dorsen expalined " Baldwin thought of the ACLU as a goup of elitist , of highly educated people , a few thousnad at most throughout the country who owuld be the vangaurd of a movement to protect idividual rights in theis society"
the mind set that the ACLU knows what is best for the great unwashed masses drives the ACLU disdain for the will of the people. This IS ALSO WHY OR WHAT IS BEHIND its use of the judiciary , rather that the ELECTORATE to implement its agends

Ok that is a start next I will give some case history ok

oh wait no let me first give you his wedding vows he wrote for his wedding - LOL
Then tonight or tommarrow i will tyr to finish up this ACLU thing there is so uch it is hard to know where to go
WEEDING VOWS
Here is waht Baldwin read to Doty at his " marrage"
To us who passionaley institution of marriage among us is a grim mockery of essential freedom. here we have the most inimate, most sacred , the most creative relaitonship shackled in the deadening grip of private property and essentially holding the woman subservietn to the man...... We dey without resevation the moral right of state or church to bind by the force of law a reltionship that canot be maintained by the power of love alone. We submit to the form of law only because it sems a matter of too little importance to reist or ignore........ The highest relationship between a man asn a womane is that which welcomes and understands eachothers loves. without a sense of pssession there can be no exclusions, no jealousises. the creative life demands many friendships, many loves shared together openly, honestly and joyously ( polyamory) My primary interest and joy is the great revolutionary struggle for human freedom today, so intense , so full of promise. I regard our union only as contributing to that cause, making us both serve it more passionately, the more devotedly
WEDDING VOWS writen for his special lady

Ok kids are tearin things up gotta go for now
