Praying hands ~ By Victoria Jackson

The 111th Congress did not respect the rules. It did not uphold the Constitution. The health-care bill was bribed into law. Tax cheats like Rangle and Geithner held positions of authority! The president ridicules the Bible.

John Adams said that anyone who works against the establishment of the Ten Commandments in society is working against freedom and civilization.

Liberals hate the Ten Commandments. Conservatives love the Ten Commandments. Why would I want to be a liberal?

~ Victoria Jackson, in this column ~

Victoria had a lot to say today that I believe to be right on the money. Throw in the video of AlfonZo Rachel of Macho Sauce Productions, and this is the perfect column to start with in 2011! I was going to put this one on my Cross Tribe Network blog, but decided not to since this column also involves a political discussion involving Conservatives and Liberals.

I am not "religious." The word "religion" is taken from the Greek word "re-ligio," and it means "to bind back to God." Works for salvation. Religions teach works for salvation. Christianity does not. The Bible says, "For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).

I've always seen the world as saved and lost. We, the saved are supposed to tell the lost the truth, the message, so they can be saved from destruction. One optimistic Christian I know calls the unsaved, "pre-Christians."

After my political awakening, I see America as liberals and conservatives. We the conservatives must tell the liberals the truth, the message, so that together we can save our country from destruction. Liberals are just "pre-conservatives."

It's funny, but the lost and the liberals seem to be the same group. Both resist God and His ways.

I know a few liberals who claim to be Christians, but they won't discuss abortion or the gay army or any of the issues. They retain a smug, superior face and tight lips.

Congress' legalized corruption ~ By Walter E. Williams

Lobbyists - with big money behind them - are in control of what Congress does. Does it make you wonder if it matters who is elected? Hmmm... a question worth pondering...

Okay, I'm done pondering. The answer is, YES, it DOES matter who we elect! We need to find people that will stick to the constitution, and not be bought off. Well, that is the hard part. Who's going to vote for some "loser" that doesn't care about money and power?

Hopefully, our nation's constitutional reawakening will begin to deliver us from the precipice. There is no constitutional authority for two-thirds to three-quarters of what Congress does. Our Constitution's father, James Madison, explained, "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined ... (to be) exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce."

If there is anything good to say about Democratic control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, it's that their extraordinarily brazen, heavy-handed acts have aroused a level of constitutional interest among the American people that has been dormant for far too long. Part of this heightened interest is seen in the strength of the tea-party movement around the nation. Another is the angry reception that many congressmen received at their district town-hall meetings. Yet another is seen by the exchanges on the nation's most popular radio talk shows such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and others. Then there's the rising popularity of conservative/libertarian television shows such as Glenn Beck, John Stossel and Fox News.

While the odds-on favorite is that the Republicans will do well in the fall elections, Americans who want constitutional government should not see Republican control as a solution to what our founders would have called "a long train of abuses and usurpations." Solutions to our nation's problems require correct diagnostics and answers to questions like: Why did 2008 presidential and congressional candidates spend over $5 billion campaigning for office? Why did special interests pay Washington lobbyists over $3 billion that same year?

What are reasons why corporations, unions and other interest groups fork over these billions of dollars to lobbyists and into the campaign coffers of politicians?

One might say that these groups are simply extraordinarily civic-minded Americans who have a deep and abiding interest in elected officials living up to their oath of office to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. Another response is these politicians, and the people who spend billions of dollars on them, just love participating in the political process. If you believe either of these explanations, you're probably a candidate for some medicine, a straitjacket and a padded cell.

A far better explanation for the billions going to the campaign coffers of Washington politicians and lobbyist lies in the awesome government power and control over business, property, employment and other areas of our lives. Having such power, Washington politicians are in the position to grant favors and commit acts that if committed by a private person would land him in jail.

Charlie's been a very bad boy ~ By Craig R. Smith

Craig R. Smith asks why Nancy Pelosi isn't telling Charlie Rangel that he should step down from his powerful position as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. As he discusses in this column, there are probably a few reasons why she doesn't. Be sure to see the related video below the column for further explanations...

Ethics and accountability are to Nancy Pelosi what holy water is to the devil. She can only pray that other Democrats demand Charlie's resignation for her, which I suspect will happen. In all of this, she will once again show the American people she is not a leader, but a loser.

In keeping with her commitment to the American people, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should demand the resignation of Charlie Rangel, the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Charlie has been a very bad boy.

Pelosi announced in 2006, after the victories returning Democrats to the majority, "The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history."

Now Nancy has a chance to honor her word. Or will she weasel around and come up with several lame excuses as she has since taking her current position.

She has an opportunity here with Rangel to follow her own moral compass. Who can forget the vitriolic position Pelosi took against Tom Delay in 2004? DeLay was admonished by the ethics committee, and Pelosi let him have it with both barrels: "Mr. DeLay has proven himself to be ethically unfit to lead the party."

But that wasn't all. She went on to say, "The burden falls upon his fellow House Republicans. Republicans must answer: Do they want an ethically unfit person to be their leader, or do they want to remove the ethical cloud that hangs over the Capitol?"

Good question Madame Speaker! It's one you should ask yourself and fellow Democrats this weekend. The ethics committee is not yet done with Mr. Rangel. It is still conducting an ongoing investigation of his questionable activities. I suspect it will find more dirt on the embattled chairman. Why not spare him the pain and get him out now? What reasons could she find to keep him?

Quite a few.

March 3, 2010 - Charlie Rangel's Statement, and not to be rude, please, don't ask questions!

Charlie's statement reminds me of an episode from Columbo: "one more question, please" - and then Charlie Rangel buries himself, steeped in vast lying, and then he steps down from the House Ways and Committee.

And of course, it is just temporary while all he has done has been swept under the rug. While he makes a public statement, he tells the reporters to not ask questions. How hilarious is that? But the best part of the video is that the reporters, being rude, went ahead and asked questions! Columbo must have been in the audience! "Excuse me, just one more question..." Journalists 1, Rangel 0.
