Good morning Orrin, Grace and peace, (Galatians 1:3-5; Jude 2). You stated/asked, "I am not for hangings, but why do you think so many senators voted against English as the official language of the USA?" I'm no expert, however, it's been my observation that politicians are looking for votes. Could it be possible that they are garnering the attention of the immigrant? Perhaps appealing to the glut of Muslims that are flooding the country. Seems to me they are stacking their numbers for the future jihad they intend to fight on American soil. It's my opinion that God can and will use whatever and whomever He wishes to accomplish His will. There are many accounts of that in the bible, of which one that comes to mind first were the Babylonians. brutal people that brought judgement on those who turned away from God. Ring a bell? Is God going to allow a Muslim uprisal, perhaps utilizing them for a time of judgement? "What do you think of Colonel Riley’s letter?" I think it is well founded and believe the candidates for President should be disqualified to run, and all of them lose their positions as Senators. Ridiculous. Perhaps they prefer Farsee or some other Middle Eastern tongue. I sometimes wonder what they are thinking. It's obvious they're not. I appreciated the Colonel's comments: "If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally "rock you out of your panties"......... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate." (Amen) He continues, "The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn't about America.....it is about self-serving politics......despicable at best." "It has been said: "Never Argue with an Idiot....They'll drag you down to their level!"" I appreciate his passion and candor. "Are some of the leaders of our nation no longer proud of our American heritage?" It would appear that they have forgotten our heritage. I must say that joining Team has been quite the blessing and I appreciate that one of the teachings styles is through our nations history. It's seems as if they are trying to re-write our history and/or turn their backs on it. There is much I have learned and have been reminded of in regard to history from LLR and the writings on this and Chris' blog and am grateful to God for raising up the men and women that took a stand that forged our nations future and our existence. Perhaps these Senators need to spend some time elsewhere... Afghanistan? Saudi Arabia? Iraq? Go and live as a regular "Joe" and see just how wonderful a time they'll have when the comforts they have become used to and have obviously taken for granted are no longer available. Perhaps a triple grande strained camel machiato, no whip, might some day be palatable. It would definitely be an acquired taste. I'm sure most of these, if not all, are ignorant to the fact that God is the one who allowed them to even get into office. And this is how they serve. (They need LLR and the Team system!) :) Counting down for St. Louis! Will be our first Major! Looking forward to meeting you brother! Take care and God bless!, Apprentice Psalms 34:1-4
