7 PointsThat are NOT Open to Debate

1. I believe in God. I don’t know, nor do I really care where God came from. I don’t really think that is important, it is only important to believe that He is real and that He is there, and those that are stuck on trying to figure out the origins of God really need something better to occupy their time because they will never figure it out.

2. I believe God Created the Universe. Since no one was here when it was done, no one knows for sure how it happened. This means that it all boils down to faith. Faith in either a God with a divine plan and well ordered act of creation resulting in the delicate balance of the universe as we see it, or that it all happened by accident. In order to believe that the Theory of Evolution is true, one would have to believe that a humongous dust cloud (which no one can explain the origin of) was swirling about came together, exploded and voila, the universe. Add to this that all the life forms on this planet and who know how many others just managed to “Pop” into existence. It seems that since BOTH Creationism and Evolution take FAITH on the part of their believers, Evolution takes far more faith and willingness to accept the unexplainable, than does a belief in God.

3. I believe that the Bible is true, and the Protestant Gospel is correct. I know, this is not a popular position, but I don’t care. I believe it. Let us say for example that there were two men, one was a Christian (Who lived according to the Bible and it’s teachings, as opposed to a “Christian”, in name only) and the other an atheist. At death if the Christian is wrong, what has he lost? He will be remembered as a good man, a good father and husband, a man that helped his neighbors, was a good friend and was honest, dependable and loyal. But on the other hand, if the atheist is wrong, he gets to spend eternity in Hell. The only thing that a Christian misses out on in this equation are things like alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual promiscuity, ETC., all things that can exact a terrible toll on the mind and body.

4. I believe Ronald Reagan was a Great man. Mr. Reagan ruled from the heart, restored hope to the average American that our nation was the greatest on Earth, and defeated the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War, without it ever having turned Hot. The Nuclear War so feared did not happen, due in large part to the wise, effective leadership of Ronald W. Reagan. He guided the United States through one of the greatest periods of our national history.

5. I believe in the United States Constitution. I have read this great document several times and think that next to the Bible it may well be the greatest thing ever put on paper by man. The Founding Fathers of our nation demonstrated great forethought in its writing, construction and precepts. It does not need adding to, or taking away from. The only problem to arise from the Constitution is not the Constitution itself, but rather the interpretation. Read it and take it at face value. Don’t try to figure out what the writers were trying to say, read and understand what they did say. This is much less confusing and, while not popular with political liberals, much more accurate. Too many things are now considered a “Constitutional Right” that are never addressed in the document.

6. I believe in the “Right to Keep and Bare Arms. This is the most essential of the rights in the Bill of Rights. The right to arm ones self for self-protection ensures that the other rights cannot be taken away. You cannot tell an armed man that he cannot Pray, or speak his mind or anything else for that matter. It was for this reason, to avoid a tyrannical regime in the United States that the founders let us be an armed citizenry, because Tyrants hate armed citizens that can say no, and have the firepower to enforce the saying of “NO.”

7. I believe that the Federal Government is only responsible for Five Things. The Preamble to the Constitution states that the Federal Government is responsible for: Establishment of Justice, Ensuring Domestic Tranquility, Provide for the Common Defense, Promote the General Welfare, and Securing the Blessings of Liberty. That’s it, those five things. Nowhere does it say that the Federal Government is responsible for 99% of the things that the Federal Government does today. However the Constitution DOES say that All Powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution are “Reserved to the Several States.” I think that the people in Texas know how to run Texas better than the people in Washington, and think that the majority of the people in Washington are not really fit to run a Latrine Detail of Army Privates. Please note that the Constitutions says that the Federal Government WILL PROVIDE for the Common Defense, BUT is only required to PROMOTE the General Welfare. This, quite plainly means The Government MUST provide and fund a Military and Law Enforcement, BUT is only required to foster an atmosphere where a person can achieve a state of General Welfare. If this standard is followed there is NO WELFARE STATE, and individuals are held to account for their own actions.
