Hermain and His Faith

How many politicians do you know that would stand up and sing yet alone at with a bunch a reporters around?  Ok - now add to the fact that it was a song of praise to the Lord?  I am liking this guy more and more.

Praying Herman Cain is not just too good to be true!  I still have reservations about his ties to the fed but I can't establish is there was any muck that he was involved with while being there. 

We certainly need a GODLY man to run our country.  If the election were today, he would have my vote.

Swedish Boy Removed Permanently From Home

I was reading today on the Christian News Wire about a very troubling article regarding a now 9 year old boy who was removed from his family two years ago in Sweden because they home-schooled him.  Rather than summarizing the article, I have just posted it here in it's entirety.

Homeschool Parents to Lose Children Permanently

Government Officials Seek to Terminate Johansson Parenthood over Homeschooling

PURCELLVILLE, Va., Oct. 12, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Swedish officials on the Island of Gotland are seeking to terminate the parental rights of homeschool parents Christer and Annie Johansson. The latest development in this monumental homeschool rights case started when the state seized the parents seven year old son in June 2009. Domenic, now 9 years old, has been held in state foster care for more than 24 months.

News of these developments does not sit well in the homeschool community. "The United States Supreme Court has called the termination of parental rights the family court equivalent of the death penalty," notes Michael Donnelly, Director of International Relations at the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA).

Seven-year old Domenic Johansson was snatched by Swedish police in June 2009 from an airplane bound for India, his Mother's homeland. Among the reasons given for the seizure was that Domenic was homeschooled. Since then his entire family has been denied virtually any contact with their son. HSLDA and the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed a joint application on behalf of the Johansson family at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in June 2010 and have been working to support the family since shortly after Domenic's seizure.

Both ADF and HSLDA are currently asking for letters to be written in an attempt to renew attention to the family's case and to encourage Swedish officials to release Domenic back to his family.

"The government shouldn't abduct and imprison children simply because it doesn't like homeschooling.  That's bad enough. But now the state is going even further by attempting to get the parents out of the way altogether," said ADF Legal Counsel Roger Kiska. "This simply cannot stand.  We will do everything in our power to help reunite this family."  

History of Democratic Party

This is a good look at the "real" Democratic party and it's history.  So many people think that the Democrats are pro the black but maybe people better dust off those history books and take a closer look!

To think that SO many blacks are voting with the party that wanted to keep them in chains is really mind-boggling and it would behove those same people to do some research and find out the real truth.    Here is a black conservative man making some very valid points and people really need to listen up and re-study their history; bet you didn't learn these statistics in your history classes!  Excellent information here that was originally authored by Larry Elder and Rev. Wayne Perryman. Here are few of the points made in this video.  Take a few minutes and follow along!

• Democrats supported slavery and it's expansion into northern states.
• After the Civil War, 23 blacks (13 of them ex-slaves) were elected to Congress, ALL as Republicans.
• The first black democrat was not elected to congress until 1935 from the state of Illinois.
• The first black congressional Democrat from a southern state was not elected until 1973.
• Democrats in 1854 passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act that overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories.
• Democrats opposed Senate Bill 60 of 1866 to give blacks 40 acres and a mule.  It was Democratic president Andrew Johnson that vetoed the bill.
• Democrats opposed the 1866 Civil Rights Act.
• On July 4, 1867 in Houston, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed not the Black Texas Republican Party, but the Texas Republican Party.  Blacks across southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.
• In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law.
• President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War.  In 1865 the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100% of Republicans voting for it and only 23% Democrats voting for it.  The 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws.  Every single voting Republican voted for the Amendment, NO democrat voted for it.
• Congress passed the 15th Amendment in 1870 guaranteeing blacks the right to vote.  Every single Republican voting for it with every single Democrat voting against it.
• During 1872 Congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klux Klux Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to reestablish Democratic control in southern states.  Blacks who were all Republican at that time were the primary targets of violence.
• Southern Democrats like Al Gore, Sr. and William Fulbright debated against the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
• Southern Democrats including Al Gore, Sr. and William Fulbright debated against the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
• Democrats supported and participated in burning down middle-class black communities like those in Rosewood Florida, Wilmington, North Carolina, and the Greenwood District - Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
• Between 1870 and 1875 the Republican Congress passed many pro-black Civil Rights laws but in 1876 Democrats took control of the House and no further race-based Civil Rights laws passed until 1957.
• In 1892 Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House; repealed all of the Republican based Civil Rights laws. That enable the southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow Laws, the Pole Taxes, literary tests, and so on in their individual states.
• Only 64% of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, while 80% of Republicans voted for the Act.
• Democrats in an effort to keep blacks in their place, used sadistic torture, terror and violence including lynchings, mutilations, murder, decapitations, beatings and burnings to death countless numbers of blacks.

Time for people to wake up and READ their history in context!  Pretty amazing information that you won't hear on the liberal media outlets and unfortunately too many people just like to push along the rhetoric without checking the facts.  Maybe now you can have an informed discussing with those wanting to wave the Dem's flag about fairness and history!

F-35 B Landing

Ok this is really cool if you are into military aircraft.  This is a BIG deal to those in the aviation world and really cool to watch even if your not.

Check out the new F-35 making a vertical landing on the aircraft carrier.  This is the new baby from Lockheed Martin and it is a joint venture with many countries as well.

Yeah, this is pretty much incredible!
