Well informed citizenship

Posted by Russell Lemasters on Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:40:39 PM
I'm starting asked Questions on what is education,government,taxes are.
 
Background History:
Jesse Appleton B.1772 D.1819
Congregationalist minister ,Pres of Bowdoin College on May 25,1814
He spoke in front of Governor Caleb Strong ,Lt Governor William Phillips and the
Commonwealth of Mass. Legislature..
He Spoke on Isaiah 33:6
  • And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge ; The fear of the LORD is his treasure (NASB)src"christiantiy.com"
    • "But,where there is not enough either of knowledge or moral principle to discover or correct absuses, as they occur, the mass,
    by constant accretions, will become enormous, and produce eventually the atrocities and sufferings of a revolution.
      A well informed people known the advantages of civil, compared with the savage state...
    From a religious people,civil government,so far as it is of a moral nature,can never incur opposition.
    The restraints of morality they are bound to observe by stronger obligations than those,which arise
    from any human authority. On the hearts the words of a divine law are deeply inscribed"Jesse Appletton

    .Are well informed citizenship? Answer is no
    Did the Former Bush Administration ever teach the American people on waterboarding is and plesase
    1 or 2 Fox News journalist being waterboarded doesn't count or release the documents
    on when did Congress approved of the signing of the Genevea Convention the
    copies given to every American Family for free as well as the decription
    of what waterboarding is and a pictoral manual on it.
    Obama Adiminstration also have sinned by not giving us a real chance to
    look at the stimulas package then pelosi distracting us with truth commissions
    when Said Obama is a Nazis. There is no moral authority in Washington D.C
    frm VP Richard Cheney it was not your Job to protect us but to support
    the 10 commandments and live according to your description under
    the Constitution. Remember that a nation persihes because its
    people don't know their history.

    Accountability

    Posted by Russell Lemasters on Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:22:59 PM
    something has been bothering me about our civil government role so i been studying on this subject.
    from perspective of man having President Obama a messiah and king bothers me. So let me begin
    the role of civil government is to uphold the 10 commandment and punish the wicked. Proper
    constitutional taxition is to ask for money on service rendered not to for Health Care,
    social welfare, lien taxes on property, police officers, hospitals, fire department ,
    to purchase General Motors , Chrysler , Bank of America , U.S Bank, Lehman Brothers
    to give foreign nations money for elections,political office of Hamas,Hezbollah,Lebanon government.
    On a Political network a parlimentarian from pakistan asked for non interfearance by our
    government ,and out of humility in christ dept state foreign affairs bureau ought to honor that request
    as well as dept of defence.

    lessons from 1875 depression

    Posted by Russell Lemasters on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 4:09:36 PM
    This is part of an article by Edward Atkinson for the Fortnightly Magazine Janurary 1879
    commentary by Me; Russell Lemasters
     
     The recent period of depression has taught the lesson of economy in all manafactures,
    and the northern or manafacturing states are ready to begin work under the conditions
    of a sound currency and a system of taxiation which,
    though yet onerous and unfit in many ways,is but a light burthen compared to what
    it has been.   The Country is fairly launched upon the economic questions a
    discussion which will not end until the system of national taxation best fitted to our
    new conditions shall have been adopted.  Our friends abroad must expect great
    and revolutionary changes in the matter of taxation.  No oppressive duty on food
    compels action, and there are no advocates for rash and rapid changes. Whether
    right or wrong in princple, our system now in force was adopted to meet the emergency
    of war, and our industry has been more or less moulded by and to it.
    Almost all sources of direct taxation are absorbed by the states as their own sources of
    revenue, and the national revenue must of neccessity be drawn from duties upon imports.
     
    Commentary:
    Mr Edward Atkinson was a member of the Free-Soilers party prior to the War between
    the States in Boston helped the anti slavery movement. In Later Life started
    an anti imperialist democratic movement. Did not support the taxation of Our
    fellow citizens in the Spanish American War. Spoke Out against Teddy Roosevelt
    administration and Howard Taft.
    During the Civil War the Republican Party decide to use the sword of government
    on the states by taxing state currency which led to the first national depression.

    odds and ends

    Posted by Russell Lemasters on Friday, February 27, 2009 2:25:17 AM
    please for a little remeberance.
           President Ronald Regan was a great figure of the Republican Party.
    My Mother when she worked for an aircraft company building B1-B
    came to her company he did this speech which my had been given press
    packet spoke of his role in the D-Day landings and our need to defend
    liberty  when i read that speech i thought to myself this is a true statesman.
    Unforutnately the Republican party has lost all idenity. The Reason is
    John Bohenner the minority leader choose to get the repbulican in the
    house of Representatives not vote for the porkilis bill but since none them
    were allowed a say it wasn't a tuff choice all republicans in the house
    voted no.       Good PR no doubt.
    But Now the 410billion spending bill which has 10 billion dollars of Pork
    4 billion for repbulicans the silence is deafing. Mr Glenn Beck with apologies
    I'm not surprised that Mr Steele gave that PR response i have been reading
    The Spirit of laws by charles de montesquieu. He Knew some 300 years
    ago that when there is no divsion between houses or party's as it was
    orginally designed bad policy or worse no competition liberty is in danger.
    book 11 section 6. I wish i could of meet the Late President. But i do understand
    a party is only  good as it's leaders

    Christian American Infleuence by Russell Lemasters

    Posted by Russell Lemasters on Thursday, March 27, 2008 11:39:10 PM
     

    You and I have been taught in American primary education

       Classes that the reformation was started by men like

    Martin Luther and others to start a separation from the

    Catholic old ways. However this is not true the reformation

    Began 200 years earlier by Catholic monks and priests that began

     debate that suggested Christian influence needs to be focused on.

    To the alternative which is Man makes the rules and Christian

    instution the tragedy is that many died on the battlefields

    in middle east during the 3 crusades or the inquisitions latter on.

    Christian Instution  is defined as forced religion on the people

     Who claim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Christian influence

    Is defined as Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior but it is he who

    Saves not man and not everyone will be saved. Whether one is saved

    Or not only GOD knows the principal here is that teaching the Bible

    In the classroom is good thing not just as a book among many but

    everyday  practical living. One of the Founders is quoted as saying

    “The Bible is the Alpha and Omega of knowledge”. As example

    ‘Do to others as you wish to be done to you ‘or ’Love one another’.

    The Reformation is this 1.establishement of a Republic form of

    Government out of Exodus 18:17-22

    2. Separation of Church and State 2 Chronicles 26:16-20

    3. Freedom of Conscience John 13:38

    4. Free Economic exercise of religious beliefs Acts 17:23

    5. Difference between Theology and Behavior
     
     

    Sources:

    John 13:34 N.I.V

    A new command I give you: Love one another.

    As I have loved you, so you must love another.

    John 13:37-38 N.I.V Freedom of Conscience

    Peter asked. “Lord, why can’t I followed you now?

    I will lay down my life for you.”

    Vs 38

    The Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me?

    I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown

    me three times!”

    Exodus 18:21 N.I.V Republic form of government

    But select capable men from all the people-men who fear God,

    Trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain-and appoint them as

    Officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

    2 Chronicles 26:19 Separation between Church and State

    Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense,

    Became angry. While he was raging at the priest in their presence

    Before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy broke

    Out on his forehead.

    Acts 17:23 Free Economic exercise of religious beliefs

    For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects

    Of worship, I even found an alter with the inscription:

     To an unknown God. Now what you worship as something

    Unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
