Christians Awaken For Duck Dynasty Flap
By Chuck Baldwin
December 31, 2013

This column is archived here.
America is tumbling out of control toward a crash-and-burn impact with disaster, and, for the most part, pastors and churches are asleep--I mean in a coma. Both major parties in Washington, D.C., are selling-out our liberties faster than Chris Christie can swallow a Big Mac, and Christians don’t even roll over; George W. Bush and Barack Obama have created the largest surveillance society in the history of mankind, and pastors lie comatose; Dianne Feinstein and her Constitution-hating collaborators in Congress try their best to expunge our right to self-defense, and Christian organizations don’t open an eyelid; the right of Habeas Corpus, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and our very right of privacy have, for all intents and purposes, been eviscerated by the miscreants in Washington, D.C., and most pastors and Christians remain fast asleep. But let a Christian TV star get the axe for telling a magazine reporter that he views homosexuality as sinful, and Christians storm out of their beds like firemen answering the bell for a five-alarm fire.

Don’t get me wrong. The politically-correct entertainment and news industries are hyper-paranoid about anything deemed to be “anti-gay.” Homosexuals currently enjoy more protected status than the spotted owl. That A&E would attempt to suspend a long-bearded, redneck Christian for saying homosexuality is a sin should shock no one. Liberal actor Alec Baldwin (no relation to this writer)--a darling of the left-wing establishment--lost his TV show on MSNBC for comments he spoke that were considered to be anti-gay.

Am I glad so many people rallied to the support of Phil Robertson? Yes, of course. Was the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain stupid to pull Duck Dynasty products from their stores as punishment for what Robertson said? They sure were. Are Christians who want to boycott Cracker Barrel and other companies that cater to political-correctness within their rights to do so? You bet. People such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made careers (not to mention millions of dollars) intimidating private companies with all kinds of boycotts. But I must be honest: this whole episode burns the stew out of me.

In the first place, it doesn’t seem to dawn on the vast majority of pastors, churches, and most of these non-profit Christian organizations what the source of all of this politically-correct bull manure really is. The source of all of this dung is that Cesspool by the Potomac: Washington, D.C. It is the policies, laws, and public statements from the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court--not to mention all of the politically-correct propaganda being taught in the government schools and universities--that pressure private companies (especially big companies) to stay on the smiley side of Washington. The IRS can make life a living hell for anyone--and that includes big companies. It wasn’t that long ago when the federal government almost closed down Cracker Barrel for what it perceived as acts of discrimination. Take away the intimidation of Washington, D.C., from most of these companies, and the majority of these politically-correct issues (including the homosexual issue) would disappear.

If Christians really wanted to boycott the institution with the biggest pro-homosexual agenda in the world, they would boycott paying taxes to the IRS. Through the US State Department and Pentagon, the homosexual agenda is not only being advanced domestically but internationally. Our State Department hires open homosexuals as diplomats and sends them to countries that hold deep religious and cultural aversions to that lifestyle. More than one country has the homosexual lifestyle thrown in their face through the diplomatic corps of the US State Department. The Pentagon has put homosexuals in the closest of confines with US troops in virtually every military assignment and theater. Various agencies and departments of the federal government spend billions of taxpayer dollars advancing or even demanding a militant homosexual agenda.

Plus, a little intellectual honesty is in order at this point. Not every individual homosexual is a proponent of the militant homosexual agenda. In fact, many homosexuals joined in the chorus of those who were insulted by A&E’s flagrant disregard for Mr. Robertson’s freedom of speech.

I read Robertson’s controversial comments in GQ magazine, and he did NOT single out homosexuality any more than many other acts of immorality. The reporter asked him, “What, in your mind, is sinful?” Robertson simply answered the question by noting a variety of acts he deemed to be sinful by Holy Writ, including sins which he, himself, had committed earlier in his life. He also said that no sin was greater than another sin. He then went on to say that Christ came to redeem men from all of their sin--whatever it was. Has this not been the message of the Gospel for over 2,000 years?

But I remind you that it has been the federal government that has done more to expunge Christian ideology from US society than any other entity in the world--especially since 1962 and ’63. And, unfortunately, the CEOs and CFOs of most major corporations are mostly government toadies who will do anything to avoid falling out of the good graces of Washington. Yet, all of this seems lost to the vast majority of pastors, churches, and Christian organizations.

In the second place, it seems to me that the vast majority of pastors and churches only get exercised over two issues: abortion and homosexuality. And lately, most pastors and churches won’t even break a sweat opposing abortion. Where are they on the right of self-defense? Where are they on the right to own property? Where are they on the right of privacy? Where are they on the right to be secure in their own homes? Where are they on the Biblical Natural law principles of self-determination, limited, jurisdictional government, and personal liberty? Every one of these issues is a moral issue. Every one of these issues is a fundamental tenet of Biblical Natural Law. Yet, for the most part, none of these issues warrant even the slightest peep of exhortation from the vast majority of pastors, churches, and Christian organizations today.

Christians by the millions verbally descended upon A&E and Cracker Barrel for the politically-correct firing of one man over his personal opinion. But where are they when the politically-correct culture in Washington, D.C., turns into the force of law? Where are they when unconstitutional and, yes, un-Biblical federal mandates threaten the existence of our liberties and our very way of life? Where are they when the politically-correct usurpers in DC abuse the power and force of law that results in the violation--not just of one man and one man’s opinion--but of the liberties of every man, woman, and child in the United States? Where are they? They are sound asleep.

If pastors, churches, and Christian organizations would be as vocal and vehement in opposition to turning our country into a giant police state, we would have our privacy back almost overnight. If pastors, churches, and Christian organizations would be as vocal and vehement in their opposition to DC’s attacks against our right of self-defense, there would never be another gun control bill put forward and the vast majority of prohibitions against the Second Amendment already in place would be overturned almost immediately. If pastors, churches, and Christian organizations would be as vocal and vehement in their opposition to the rampant misuse of our military and police, justice would be restored almost at once.

Let’s be brutally honest: the reason this country is in the dung heap it is in is directly due to the sluggish indifference of America’s pastors, churches, and Christian organizations. And I think the flap at A&E and Cracker Barrel proves it.

The massive outcry of millions of pastors and Christians around the country influenced A&E to rehire Phil Robertson. This same outcry influenced Cracker Barrel to return Duck Dynasty products to their stores. If the same kind of massive outcry from millions of pastors and Christians would target the destruction of our Natural God-given liberties emanating from Washington, D.C., the course of our country could be turned around almost overnight. But now that Phil is back on the show and Duck Dynasty products are back on the shelves at Cracker Barrel, I’m confident most of these pastors and Christians are already back in their beds.

P.S. One more time let me remind everyone that we are offering both “Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission,” and “To Keep or Not To Keep: Why Christians Should Not Give Up Their Guns” at a significant discount. These books, written by my constitutional attorney son and me, normally sell for $14.95 each. But for a limited time, the cost is only $17.95 (plus shipping and handling) for BOTH BOOKS.

Retired General: Americans Must Confront Obama's Tyranny



 


 

"Our government is so broken now, that each day we go down over the cliff even more and more.  The lack of strong leadership not only in the Executive branch, but a lack of really strong leadership in Congress, both in the Democrats and the Republicans.  I am not even sure that our traditional process is going to straighten our government in sufficient time to save us. That leaves us to what options we have.  If you look under the constitution we have impeachment.  Now we know with the partisan politics that isn't going to happen. So we have Obama for another three years."
"So what do we do as people? Do we let it go on and go through the regular election process and hope it will get better?  'Hope is not a strategy by the way'".
"We need millions to stand up in our State Capitols and in Washington D.C. and we need to have that done within the next twelve months". 
"And I would say if we can make citizen arrests, and I challenge our government and people that if we have people that are conducting treason against the United States and the best interest of our country, violating the constitution, violating our laws, just as they are doing with these excessive executive orders coming out of the White House, where you have a President and his team that doesn't care about the constitution, they will do anything they can to win.
They will do anything, they will go for the throat and that is what we have to do because we are in battle to save the United States"

this is what my Pastor wrote on Facebook: Will you join me in declaring liberty, or will you quietly repose in slavery? I agree!!



this is what my Pastor wrote on Facebook:  (( My rights are God-given and unalienable. They belong to me. They include those delineated in the Bill of Rights and more. There are those including the government, intolerant liberals and extremists, and manipulators that try to tell me these rights are no longer mine, but they are wrong. I still have them. They are more costly to defend, but they are still mine. As the cost becomes greater, it is all the more imperative to stand up, and defend the liberties given to me by God Himself. Will you join me in declaring liberty, or will you quietly repose in slavery?  )) https://www.facebook.com/steven.grant.589  - http://www.godsdestiny.org/index.html - http://www.indefenseofanation.com/idoan_004.htm

Cheyenne Physician Dr. Taylor Haynes says he is running for Governor of Wyoming in 2014.
Haynes says he plans a “common sense’ campaign which will stress adherence to the U.S. Constituition,  property rights, personal freedom, and the right to bear arms as among his key issues. He says his travels around Wyoming have convinced him that people want jobs and freedom from government interference in their lives. Haynes ran as an independent candidate for governor in 2010, but says he has now re-joined the Republican Party and will compete for that party’s nomination.
Haynes has launched a campaign website and says he has registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office as an exploratory campaign. Haynes joins state Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill as candidates who have announced their intention to run for governor in 2014. Both Haynes and Hill are Republicans. Incumbent Republican Governor Matt Mead has so far not said whether he will run for re-election next year

In Defense Of A Nation
idoan002002.jpg
Nearly 400 years ago, America’s forefathers began a journey which laid the foundation of the greatest nation on earth.  On November 11, 1620, before the pilgrims disembarked from their ship, they signed a document known as the Mayflower Compact.  The intent of their journey to the new world was detailed in its content, which reads in part:  “In the name of God, Amen.  We whose names are underwritten…having undertaken for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith…a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia”.
 
Armed with a fresh taste of oppression and a healthy fear of lawlessness, they began the arduous task of forging a government somewhere between leftist tyranny and rightist anarchy.  The result was a Constitutional Republic in the middle of the political spectrum; a Christian nation governed by law yet affording people the freedom to do what is right under God.
 
On matters of liberty, they believed that unalienable rights are given to humanity by God, and not by government.  Consequently, government was handcuffed and given no authority to sanction or limit the laws of nature and of nature’s God.  For a Christian people, government is always the lesser authority, not the final authority, and this kept our people free from tyranny.
 
On matters of order, they balanced liberty with law, and stressed that our rights must only be exercised within the rule of law...God’s law.  This kept us from drifting into anarchy and lawlessness, which eventually give rise to a new form of tyranny.  Deuteronomy 28:1-2 points out that a nation is blessed only through obedience to the God of the Bible, and oppression reigns when people turn from God to their own agendas (Deuteronomy 28:15).  This position is reflected in the writings of the original framers, regardless of their denomination of worship.  Hence, from our birth and the Revolutionary War cries of “No king but King Jesus”, to Supreme Court rulings declaring us to be a “Christian nation”  (1892 Church of the Holy Trinity vs. the United States), we find overwhelming evidence of our national purpose...to be one nation under one God...Jesus Christ.
 
But that was then, and sadly, this is now.
 
America has abandoned God and virtue as we now celebrate all manner of vice and corruption.  We’ve cast off the mechanism that keeps both anarchy and tyranny at bay, that being Christianity. Liberty without self restraint is the behavior of choice, followed by hopey changey delusions that the political system will shield us from inevitable consequences.  America’s most recent example of misplaced hope is the election of a well tailored empty suit to the Oval Office.  We are fools to believe someone who despises our heritage, culture, and Constitution will act as a modern Moses.  Instead, he will lead us to a leftist tyranny until we awaken from our comfortable deception.
 
Adding to that national travesty is the real power base in America; 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators who either enable tyranny’s agenda, or tie its hands. Consider the following:
 
·        If both Democrats and Republicans are against deficits, why do we have deficits?
·        You and I do not set fiscal policy, Congress does.

 
·       If all politicians are against inflation and high taxes, why do we have inflation and high taxes?
·       You and I do not write the tax code, Congress does.

 
·        If we are trillions of dollars in debt, it’s because they want us in debt.
·        If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

 
·        If they force us into broken socialized retirement and medical plans, yet exempt themselves in favor of elite plans, it’s because they want it that way.

·       If America is dependent on foreign oil, it's because they want it that way.

 
·        If the borders are not secure, it’s because they want them that way.
·        If there are 12 million illegal aliens on our soil, it’s because they want them here.

 
·        If our Constitution is abandoned and our national sovereignty sold to foreign influences, it's because they want it that way.
 
Get the picture?
 
We can't blame special interests or lobbyist, because they have no legal authority.  The politician has the power to accept or reject their bribes, and he alone determines how he will vote.  Do not be conned into the belief that some mystical force like “the economy”, “inflation” or “politics” prevents them from doing what they took an oath to do.  Fully grasp the truth that 535 people exercise the defining power of the federal government.
 
The logical conclusion is that what exists is what THEY WANT to exist!
 
Perhaps we should get up the gumption to manage our own employees, or perhaps we should just fire them all.  While it may seem inconceivable that a nation of 300 million cannot replace the 535 who stand convicted by the present facts of incompetence and irresponsibility, consider this truth:  The weakling of tyranny is always empowered to oppress when strong men betray the source of their strength; the Lord God.  Look no further than Sampson and Delilah for a Biblical example, and no further than Abraham Lincoln for a contemporary confirmation of this truth.  In his own words, “America will never be destroyed from the outside.  If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
 
So the call to reinvent government is really a call to reinvent ourselves! Biblically, it’s called repentance, but that’s not a word you hear much about anymore…especially in the self-absorbed American church. The government of our forefathers was a reflection of their virtue, and government today is a reflection of ours.  It’s high time for change we can believe in, and it begins with our own spiritual reckoning followed by a housecleaning in Washington, DC. Anything less is akin to riding a dead horse, and wisdom dictates that at some point we should dismount.
 
This ministry is devoted to the defense of the greatest nation on earth.  May we once again learn what it is to be “one nation under God”, and may the information presented here spark another revolution in your heart.  You have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this. Now, make it count.

ROMANS 13 : Chuck Baldwin 4 parts - I am reminded of what Charles Finney, the famed 19th Century revivalist, said: "If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that they very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it."

Pastor Chuck Baldwin - A Line In The Sand Is Being Drawn Again ( This line in the sand for freedom is separating people in a major way. - And this is not necessarily a bad thing. In the same way that God commanded Abram to separate from his home and kin, so, too, the Spirit of God is separating people many times from their friends, their neighbors, their kinfolk, and, yes, their church families - For way too long, Americans have taken freedom for granted. For way too long, our educational and religious institutions (not to mention our homes) have not taught the fundamental principles of liberty)


Published: Thursday, December 12, 2013
http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/1108/A-Line-In-The-Sand-Is-Being-Drawn-Again.aspx


    
In March of 1836, a young man of twenty-three years of age took his sword out of its scabbard and drew a line in the sand in front of an old mission outside of San Antonio, Texas, and called on the men defending that mission who were willing to stay on the ramparts and face an opposing army more than ten times their number to signify their commitment by stepping across the line. Of course, the young man was William Barrett Travis and the old mission was the Alamo. He could not have known it then, but Travis’ line in the sand would forever become the benchmark by which all future acts of commitment would be measured. In a mystical way, but, then again, in very real way, Travis’ line in the sand is being drawn again. Oh, it may not be a line in dirt drawn by the point of a sword; it is a line in the hearts of men being drawn by the Spirit of God.
My last three columns (not including the column promoting THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS) generated more responses than any three columns I have ever written, and I have been writing this column for some fifteen years. At first, the responses were mostly negative and often vitriolic. But this past week, responses have been over 90% positive and very enthusiastic. I am confident that the manner in which these columns have brought out intense emotion and determination on both sides is a microcosm of what is happening nationally. A line in the sand for freedom is being drawn once again.
This line in the sand for freedom is separating people in a major way. And this is not necessarily a bad thing. In the same way that God commanded Abram to separate from his home and kin, so, too, the Spirit of God is separating people many times from their friends, their neighbors, their kinfolk, and, yes, their church families. I seem to recall that during the period of the early church, the conflict of principle forever separated the apostles Paul and Silas. And during America’s War for Independence, the conflict of principle separated Benjamin Franklin and his son William--as it did tens of thousands of others.
Perhaps not since the days of Patrick Henry, Sam Adams, et al., have Americans been forced to deal--intellectually, reasonably, emotionally, volitionally, and spiritually--with the fundamental issues of liberty as we are being forced to do today. For way too long, Americans have taken freedom for granted. For way too long, our educational and religious institutions (not to mention our homes) have not taught the fundamental principles of liberty. This negligence has brought our country to the brink of oppression and despotism. And, just as was the case in Colonial America, a line in the sand for freedom is being drawn in the hearts of men.
This internal line in the sand is being drawn irrespective of a person’s education, temperament, upbringing, intelligence, or faith. While some men seem to be content to live under the heel of governmental oppression, many others have an innate thirst for freedom that all of the armies in the world cannot quench.
In truth, the thirst for freedom is part of Natural Law. A horse is not broken without a fight; a tiger or lion will pace its cage as long as it can walk looking for an avenue of escape; a bird will fly around its cage ten thousand times looking for an opening to return to the sky. Yes, animals can be broken--and so can be some men, unfortunately. But the innate desire for freedom is born in the soul of every man.
However, the desire for comfort, ease, and material pleasure is a handsome tempter that many people find more attractive than the harsh and weather-torn face of liberty. Plus, the further liberty slips out of view, the more vague the memory of it becomes. And before we realize it, the face of liberty is only seen in the irrelevant relics of the songs and statues of history. But it is exactly at this point that the Spirit of God begins to renew in the hearts of men the Natural thirst for liberty. And that is precisely what is happening now.
All over America, and, yes, all over the world, people’s hearts are beating fast for freedom. I am receiving thousands of letters and emails from people all over the globe. Unfortunately for many of these people, they do not live in a country in which the governmental and political foundation and structure is conducive to the reclamation of liberty. But in the United States, it is not a matter of government; it is a matter of will. Do the American people yet have the will to reclaim liberty?
While it would appear that the majority of today’s Americans have allowed ignorance, materialism, and false Bible teaching regarding the principles of liberty to suppress their love of liberty, I am absolutely convinced that the spirit of liberty is swelling in the hearts of teeming millions of people. Highly educated and high school dropouts, affluent and average, Christians and unchurched, men and women, young and old: their hearts are ablaze with the love of liberty. And they are no longer content to surround themselves with those who would allow the chains of servitude to be clamped around their necks.
Are we patriots or loyalists? That question had to be answered by every man and woman in Colonial America. The same question must be answered by every American today. Are we going to bravely fight for the principles of liberty as did our patriot forebears, or are we going to be loyal to a corrupt and tyrannical system that is literally choking the life out of our freedoms? And how each of us answers that question will determine the direction and destination of our lives and futures.
The freedom to separate is a Natural right. Forced union is not a union at all; it is enslavement. The current world and U.S. maps are testimonies to the right of Natural separation. Pat Buchanan recently wrote:
“In the last decade of the 20th century, as the Soviet Empire disintegrated, so, too, did that prison house of nations, the USSR.
“Out of the decomposing carcass came Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Moldova, all in Europe; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus; and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia.
“Transnistria then broke free of Moldova, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia fought free of Georgia.
“Yugoslavia dissolved far more violently into the nations of Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo.
“The Slovaks seceded from Czechoslovakia.”
Buchanan also notes that in the U.S., “Four of our 50 states--Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, West Virginia--were born out of other states.”
See Pat’s column at:
Is Red State America Seceding?
Think of this, too: the most fundamental and sacred union of all is the union of a man and woman in marriage. Had Adam and Eve not fallen into sin, there would, no doubt, be no right or reason for separation. (Matthew 19:8) But with the fall of man into sin came all kinds of abuse. As a result, the Scriptures grant divorce (separation) on the grounds of both adultery (Matthew 19) and abandonment (I Corinthians 7). While never preferred, few among us would deny the right of a husband or wife to separate under certain circumstances. Because not every man is willing to be governed by the Natural and revealed laws of God, men are granted the right to separate themselves from those who would violate the fundamental principles upon which the union is based. This is true maritally, ecclesiastically, spiritually, socially, and politically.
In 1836, Will Travis drew a line in the sand to separate those who were willing to defend the liberty of Texas on the ramparts of the Alamo from those who were not. And I am convinced that God is drawing a line in the hearts of men today for the same reason: to separate those who are willing to give their lives in the defense of liberty from those who are not. And, ironically, the freedom of everyone--including the ones who are not willing to defend it--depends on the willingness of the ones who are. I guess it’s always been that way.
I know which side of the line I am on; and after the deluge of correspondence I have received over the past couple of weeks, I know I am not alone.
P.S. Remember, for the month of December, we are offering both “Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission,” and “To Keep or Not To Keep: Why Christians Should Not Give Up Their Guns” at a significant discount. These books, written by my constitutional attorney son and me, normally sell for $14.95 each. But to help folks purchase these books as Christmas gifts, the cost is only $17.95 (plus shipping and handling) for BOTH BOOKS.

Jordan Page live!

The following audio files are from the live performance on Wednesday, December 11th at Cocollala, Idaho.  This was the kick-off concert for the Jordan Page Northwest Tour, performed in a one-room schoolhouse.  This was an intimate, fireside performance with about 20 to 25 people in attendance.  What a great time shared with other patriots.  These moments don’t come often enough.

 

Radio Free Redoubt streamed the event live for the listeners who couldn’t be there.  Below are the edited audio files of the songs Jordan performed that night.  It was a unique experience in that the ‘audience’ was able to converse and interact with Jordan throughout the concert.  The stories behind the songs and Jordan’s testimony of his journey into the patriot music world was inspiring and encouraging.

Enjoy!

Open letter from Senior Chief Ross US Navy (Ret) To LT Colonel Bateman - I am assuming you are one of the few in our military willing to fire upon the American people as per Barry Hussein Obama’s questionnaire - If a tyrannical government have weapons with 30 round magazine’s so will I. - If a tyrannical government has 7.62 x 39 rounds so will I. - If the government tries to take my land, my freedom and my water supply they best think twice about it.

Open letter from Senior Chief Ross US Navy (Ret) To LT Colonel Bateman

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/12/army-officer-wants-disarmed-will-pry-gun-cold-dead-fingers/

Dear Lt. Colonel Bateman,
Thank you for your service to our nation.
I see from your alleged article listed above regarding the 2nd Amendment that President Obama will soon be promoting you to full bird Colonel and with a bonus to boot . I am assuming you are one of the few in our military willing to fire upon the American people as per Barry Hussein Obama’s questionnaire.   You saved your own job and sold out the constitution to a Communist usurper and now you choose to lecture us real Americans on our gun rights.
 
Now let me educate you on the 2nd Amendment and I will speak real slow so you can keep up with me. 
 
You allegedly stated:  The only guns permitted by you would be the following:
  • a.   Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets. No 7-11 in history has ever been held up with one of these.
  • b.   Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns. Hunting with these is valid.
  • c.   Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds. Like I said, hunting is valid. But if you cannot bring down a defenseless deer in under five rounds, then you have no  reason to be holding a killing tool in the first place.
Your alleged statement is based upon hunting but you mention nothing about the protection of the American citizen against a tyrannical government like the one we have now and the one you seem to endorse.
If a tyrannical government have weapons with 30 round magazine’s so will I.  
If a tyrannical government has 7.62 x 39 rounds so will I.  
If the government tries to take my land, my freedom and my water supply they best think twice about it. 
So apparently you are in support of disarming us, and placing us in a subservient position to the government. 
Really ?  Do you think ?  How did you make it to Lt Colonel?  You don’t even understand the basic premise of the 2nd Amendment.    
The next statement you make is quite comical.   You say :
We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers. That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes. Guns, except for the three approved categories, cannot be inherited. When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them. (Weapons of historical significance will be de-milled, but may be preserved.)
Who is ‘We”  Lt Colonel.  You and whose army ?  Homeland Security perhaps.  Obama’s personal army.?
Bateman,  if you want my weapon(s) come and get it (them).  Call me and I will give you easy step by step directions to my house. My phone number is 850-313-1893.  My hands are warm and rough and very much alive. You are welcome to sit in a deck chair on the county property and wait for me to die.  Just do not step onto my private property. Then the US constitution will be engaged.
Next up you say 
Police departments are no longer allowed to sell or auction weapons used in crimes after the cases have been closed. (That will piss off some cops, since they really need this money. But you know what they need more? Less violence and death. By continuing the process of weapon recirculation, they are only making their jobs — or the jobs of some other cops — harder.)
Bateman, who are you to dictate to police departments what they can do with confiscated property?  Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.  Maybe you should go after flat screen TV’s, hammers, cars, beer bottles and knitting needles.  They kill more people than guns.  Bateman you are a moron.

Next you state,  We will submit a new tax on ammunition. In the first two years it will be 400 percent of the current retail cost of that type of ammunition. (Exemptions for the ammo used by the approved weapons.) Thereafter it will increase by 20 percent per year.
Really now ?   Lets tax approved condoms instead. Only approved condoms though.  Like the one that broke when you were conceived.   This would explain your liberal discombobulated mindset.   No, lets abolish all taxes on all condoms.  We must help prevent morons like you from making it past the cervix.
Then you say:  We will initiate a nationwide “buy-back” program, effective immediately, with the payouts coming from the DoD budget. This buy-back program will start purchasing weapons at 200 percent of their face value the first year, 150 percent the second year, 100 percent the third year. Thereafter there will be a 10 year pause, at which point the guns can be sold to the government at 10 percent of their value for the next 50 years.
Bateman.  Whose money will you use to buy back these weapons ? DOD money ? Really ? That’s my money.   Detroit already ran out of our money too. California is almost bankrupt. Maybe you could fly to Communist China and borrow some more cash or ask the Treasury Dept. to print some up for you. Just don’t use my money to infringe on my 2nd Amendment right to protect myself from a tyrannical government. If I decide to use my gun to go hunting I will invite you along but I will only give you a 5 minute head start.  Bring your constitution with you.
Finally you say:
The major gun manufactures of the United States, less those who create weapons for the federal government and the armed forces, will be bought out by the United States of America, for our own damned good.
Bateman, so you want to  shut down the free market capitalist system of building guns in accordance with our 2nd Amendment rights. Really ?  I say this.  Private gun manufacturers need to stop selling guns to the federal government until they start following the US constitution. The federal government exits because the states allow it to exist.  The states exist because we the people allow them to exist.  That’s how our constitution works.  You, sir, are thinking like a Marxist Communist dictator.  
Its apparent putting you in close proximity of a gun would  be dangerous.  You will either use it against us, shoot yourself in the foot or drop it and kill your neighbors dog.  I would say resign your commission, pack your stuff and sign up for your Transition Assistance Program back to civilian life  (TAPs – class) . I bet they can find you a safe job flipping burgers someplace.  Just stay away from any leadership positions and any job that gives you access to small pets and sharp objects.

Resist illegal orders! - If you find yourself in a situation where you’re not sure if your orders are illegal or otherwise unconstitutional, contact Oathkeepers - This is a great video message to all who wear the uniform

Resist illegal orders!

http://www.radiofreeredoubt.com/2013/12/02/message-to-police-by-josie-the-outlaw/- Written by

If you find yourself in a situation where you’re not sure if your orders are illegal or otherwise unconstitutional, contact Oathkeepers. They have constitutional lawyers and experts who can help.

True patriots are your strongest allies!


This is a great video message to all who wear the uniform, by a young patriot woman who goes by the name, ‘Josie Outlaw’, and it goes hand-in-hand with the message and the mission of Oathkeepers. At Radio Free Redoubt, we are very pro military and law enforcement. But our loyalty to American ideals such as freedom and liberty run stronger. Words are hard to find to describe our loathing for tyranny. We plead with each of you in uniform to stop and consider carefully before carrying out illegal (unconstitutional) orders. Historically, those in positions of authority will carry out unthinkable and oppressive acts against their fellow countrymen when they are told it is okay to do so by their superiors, and especially if those acting feel they will not be held responsible for their actions — that they are acting on ‘authority.’ This took place after Hurricane Katrina (disarming of peaceful, law-abiding citizens). Let us not forget Boston (during the forced house-to-house searches for the Boston Marathon Bombers) last year. This does not include the warrantless searches on our nation’s highways in the form of checkpoints (DUI, Seatbelt, Child Car Seat, Vehicle Safety, etc.).

To those in uniform, we will proudly fight along side you to preserve Americanism. Please do not make us your enemies and fight against us for the sake of “just following orders.” There are more of us than there are of you, and we are armed.

“Get Off The Sinking Ship”
By Chuck Baldwin
December 5, 2013

This column is archived here.
http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/1105/Get-Off-The-Sinking-Ship.aspx

This column dated November 21, 2013, created a firestorm of outrage and venom from hundreds of pastors and Christians. It was a rude awakening for me, for sure. I have long maintained that the vast majority of today’s pastors and church members are smugly content in abject apathy and indifference. However, after the vehement reaction to the above-mentioned column, I can now state dogmatically that the problem is actually much, much worse than I realized. Today’s churchmen are not merely content to not being involved; they are absolutely committed to not being involved. It goes much deeper than apathy; it is apostasy.

See my November 21 column here:
This Pastor Proves My Point
My email inbox and mailbox filled with vitriolic rebukes from pastors and Christians. I was called just about every dirty name in the book and relegated to the depths of the damned--and those were the mild ones. At the heart of these feelings of contempt is the rejection of Natural Law. It’s not only that today’s pastors and Christians have not been taught the Biblical principles of Natural Law and, therefore, don’t understand it; today’s churchmen have developed a willful and stubborn conviction against Natural Law.
I will even go so far as to say that the majority of our pastors and church leaders today are monarchists at heart. The lack of instruction and understanding of the Biblical principles of Natural Law have created a generation of churchmen who are more than willing to submit to the unnatural laws of tyranny and oppression. Until two weeks ago, I didn’t truly comprehend the depth of this volitional slavery.
The statements being made by today’s pastors and Christians are so nonsensical and asinine that it is extremely difficult to believe that any person, much less pastors and Christians, could even utter them. Here are just a few examples of what pastors have said:
If federal agents or troops came to my house and put my wife on the kitchen table and raped her, Romans 13 tells me I could not interfere.”
“If government forces came to my home intent on harming my wife and children, I would not resist; I would simply tell my family to run.”
“America’s Founding Fathers were rebels against God. They had no right to fight a war for independence. Subjection to a king, even a tyrannical one, is God’s Will.”
“Anyone who resists civil government is going to hell.”
“There is no such thing as natural law, and anyone who promotes it is of the devil.”
Dear reader, trust me: the comments above are reflective of the majority of pastors and Christians I have heard from over the past couple of weeks. Truly did Jesus say, “Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?” (Luke 6:39 KJV) That is exactly what is happening in America today: the blind are leading the blind into the ditch of tyranny and oppression.
Last Sunday, I delivered a message entitled, “Biblical Evidence For Natural Law.” I invite readers to watch the archived video of that message here:
Biblical Evidence For Natural Law
Listen to the Scripture: “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.” (Romans 2:14, 15 KJV)
The great theologians and Bible scholars of yesteryear all understood the Biblical teaching of Natural Law. Here are a few samples of some of church history’s greatest Bible commentators on this passage in Romans 2.
Albert Barnes: “The expression means clearly by the light of conscience and reason, and whatever other helps they may have without revelation. It denotes simply, in that state which is without the revealed will of God. In that condition they had many helps of tradition, conscience, reason, and the observation of the dealings of divine Providence, so that to a considerable extent they knew what was right and what was wrong.”
John Wesley: “The Ten Commandments being only the substance of the law of nature.”
Adam Clarke: “Do, without this Divine revelation, through that light which God imparts to every man, the things contained in the law--act according to justice, mercy, temperance and truth, the practice of which the revealed law so powerfully enjoins; these are a law unto themselves.”
John Gill: “The matter and substance of the moral law of Moses agrees with the law and light of nature…which they have by nature and use, and which natural reason dictates to them.”
Matthew Henry: “They had that which directed them what to do by the light of nature: by the force and tendency of their natural notions and dictates they apprehended a clear and vast difference between good and evil. They did by nature the things contained in the law. They had a sense of justice and equity, honour and purity, love and charity; the light of nature taught obedience to parents, pity to the miserable, conservation of public peace and order, forbade murder, stealing, lying, perjury, etc. Thus they were a law unto themselves.”
Think about it: man did not have the written, revealed laws of God for some 2,500 years of recorded history. Yet, they did have the Law of God “written in their hearts,” or Natural Law.
Sir William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England were, without a doubt, among the most influential writings upon America’s founders. In his commentaries (second section), Blackstone said, “Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his creator, for he is entirely a dependent being. A being, independent of any other, has no rule to pursue, but such as he prescribes to himself; but a state of dependence will inevitably oblige the inferior to take the will of him, on whom he depends, as the rule of his conduct: not indeed in every particular, but in all those points wherein his dependence consists. This principle therefore has more or less extent and effect, in proportion as the superiority of the one and the dependence of the other is greater or less, absolute or limited. And consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his maker for every thing, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his maker's will.
“This will of his maker is called the law of nature. For as God, when he created matter, and endued it with a principle of mobility, established certain rules for the perpetual direction of that motion; so, when he created man, and endued him with freewill to conduct himself in all parts of life, he laid down certain immutable laws of human nature, whereby that freewill is in some degree regulated and restrained, and gave him also the faculty of reason to discover the purport of those laws.”
In that same second section of his commentaries, Blackstone further said, “This law of nature, being coeval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other--It is binding over all the globe in all countries, and at all times; no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this: and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original.”
Amen!
Before Biblical Law said, “Thou shalt not kill,” Natural Law said, “Thou shalt not kill.” Before Biblical Law said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” Natural Law said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Before Biblical Law said, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” Natural Law said, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” Before Biblical Law said, “Thou shalt not steal,” Natural Law said, “Thou shalt not steal.” How is it, and since when is it, that pastors and Christians do not understand this?
Natural Law, by its very definition, demands procreation, protection, provision, and prohibition. From the very act of Creation, Adam and Eve were given in their hearts (by God) the desire to procreate. Does anyone deny that those who produce children have a right and duty to protect and provide for their children? Does not all of nature have an innate desire to produce young then protect and provide for the young that they produced? The bird and the beast build a nest or den for its young; it catches or hunts food for its young; and it uses every means in its power to drive away predators from its young.
How, in the name of God, can today’s pastors and church leaders say they would not protect their own families from harm? How can they treat so flippantly the duty and responsibility to provide safety and security for home and community? Does a badge give a person the right to act like a predator? You mean to tell me that God would have us bring our children up in the “fear and admonition of the Lord” only then to sit back and do nothing while human beasts with badges devour and enslave them? What nonsense! What rubbish!
Beyond that, prohibition is as intrinsic to Natural Law as is procreation, protection, and provision. In the beginning, Adam and Eve were given great authority over the entire natural kingdom--yet, they were also given jurisdictional prohibition: they were not allowed to eat of the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. Even in that state of perfect innocence, when Adam was the absolute master of all that God had created on earth, he had limited jurisdiction. And when Adam violated that jurisdictional prohibition, there were consequences that had to be paid. And that was the pattern for all human authority.
There is only one Sovereign: the Creator-God. All human authority, be it vocational, familial, ecclesiastical, or political, is limited and jurisdictional. Anytime human authority oversteps its jurisdictional borders, Natural Law (God’s Law “written in our hearts”) demands resistance. And the amount and type of resistance is commensurate to the amount and type of usurpation.
When the “kings of the nations” seized property not belonging to them and kidnapped some of Abram’s family, he did not quote Romans 13 and sit complacent. He gathered his armed servants (who were already trained in the art of war) and pursued the oppressors. He put together a military strategy and attacked the predators and destroyed them. Not only that, when he returned, he was blessed by Melchizedek, who was “the priest of the most high God.” (Genesis 14)
Hebrews 7 says Melchizedek was a type of Jesus Christ. Many Bible scholars believe that Melchizedek was actually a Christophany, meaning a pre-Bethlehem appearance of Christ. Think of it: Christ Himself (or a priest who is clearly a type of Christ) blessed Abram after he attacked and destroyed the usurpers who had transgressed their jurisdictional authority. And exactly where was it written that Abram should do this thing? It was written in his heart. Again, the resistance was commensurate to the transgression.
And those who say that violent resistance to tyrannical government is unbiblical and sinful should tear the entire Book of Judges out of their Bibles. Where in the Mosaic Law were the laws of insurrection recorded? They weren’t. Yet, for a period of over 300 years, champion after champion felt the call of God in his heart to resist with violence the tyrants who were subjugating his country. Furthermore, Hebrews 11 places men such as Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah in the great “Hall of Faith.” And, remember, Romans 15:4 says that the Old Testament was written “for our learning.”
Western Civilization is rooted in Natural Law. Scholars in and out of the Church have historically accepted the Natural Law principles of the rights and duties of procreation, protection, provision, and prohibition as being “self-evident.” In his book, “Political Obligations,” University of Virginia political science professor George Klosko wrote, “[I]t is generally held that obedience to government is not unconditional. Though we have significant moral requirements to obey, these can be overridden by countervailing factors. For instance, a government that becomes tyrannical can lose its right to be obeyed, while obligations to obey specific laws that are unjust can also be not binding.” (George Klosko, Political Obligations, Oxford University Press, New York, Oxford, 2005, 11)
Klosko’s philosophy matches the philosophy of the vast majority of Christian and non-Christian scholars including Sir Edward Coke, Hugo Grotius, Samuel von Pufendorf, Emerich de Vattel, Samuel Rutherford, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Hobbes, and Thomas Aquinas (to name a few).
Compare the Natural Law teaching of history’s great scholars (many, if not most, of whom were Christians) to the teaching of so many of today’s pastors and church leaders. The differences are stark. The great preachers, theologians, and scholars of history produced a thirst for both God and freedom and gave birth to the greatest free land the world has ever known. And what are today’s pacifist preachers producing? An apathy and indifference that has brought our country to the brink of a modern-day Dark Ages. Everything that America’s colonial pastors such as John Leland, John Witherspoon, John Peter Muhlenberg, James Caldwell, and Jonas Clark fought so bravely to bequeath to us is being surrendered by the cowardice and apostasy of the modern pulpit.
As I said, after reading the voluminous pieces of correspondence touting absolute submission to the state, I am convinced that a majority of pastors and church leaders today are monarchists at heart. Accordingly, so many of America’s pastors today are not shepherds; they are slaves. They have repudiated the faith of our fathers; they have repudiated the inspiration and sacrifice of thousands of years of history; they have repudiated sound scholarship and reason; they have repudiated the values and virtues that protect everything that is sacred; and they have repudiated the Biblical Natural Law principles of liberty and justice.
Ichabod is written over the establishment church.
I am further convinced that the only way liberty and justice can be restored to America is for Christians to get out of these idolatrous government churches and form tens of thousands of independent, non-affiliated, non-establishment churches and home-churches. It must happen; it’s going to happen!
I pray that God will use whatever time I have left on this earth to be part of the prophecy that famed Bible teacher A. W. Tozer uttered before his death in 1963. Tozer said:
“I hear Jesus saying…Matthew 23:37, 38, ‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate.’
“As the Church now stands, the man who sees this condition of worldly evangelicalism is written off as somewhat fanatical. But the day is coming when the house will be left desolate and there will not be a man of God among them. I would like to live long enough to watch this develop and see how things turn out. I would like to live to see the time when the man and women of God--holy, separated and spiritually enlightened--walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their own; when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm.”
I agree with Tozer. Get off the sinking ship, folks. Form a new ark to ride out the storm. Pastors and churches that have repudiated Biblical Natural Law principles--including the duty of self-defense--should themselves be repudiated.
P.S. For the month of December, we are offering both “Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission,” and “To Keep or Not To Keep: Why Christians Should Not Give Up Their Guns” at a significant discount. These books, written by my constitutional attorney son and me, normally sell for $14.95 each. But to help folks purchase these books as Christmas gifts, the cost is only $17.95 (plus shipping and handling) for BOTH BOOKS. These two books cut to the heart of much of what I’m talking about in this column. To be assured you receive them before Christmas, order now!
