The Conservatarian

Normally, I do not post overtly religious content on this blog, but I feel compelled to do so today. I do it without apology, because as a Christian, I feel I need to make a stand for right and wrong, and declare the standards our God has laid before us.

The Sin:

 Psalm 33:12-22 12  ¶Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. 21  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

 The Warning:

If this unrepentant Obama is elected, it will be an abomination, and the people will bring God’s wrath upon themselves. However, God is right in His judgments, and He does all things well. Perhaps God will use this foolish man to bring about a restoration of the country to Him. However, if He does, it will take a long time, and we will suffer for a while, but may He receive glory for it. God desires righteousness, and He tells us that “righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). It isn’t unreasonable to believe probably half, and likely more than half, of the voting population in this country supports Obama. If so, then as a nation we are guilty of the same thing the church at Galatia was guilty of- returning to false gods and going back to bondage. The Apostle Paul said this:

 ¶Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.  But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Galatians 4:8,9).

We will be turned to bondage very shortly. God tapped us on the shoulder with 9/11, and he is tapping us on the shoulder again with the floods in the Midwest, fires in Florida, fires in California, earthquakes everywhere, droughts last year, high fuel costs, high food costs, and economic woes. Tolerance is preached, but Christians are persecuted in other countries. Soon, American preachers will be sent to jail over the words they preach, and it will be under the guise of hate crime legislation. Globally, we are having volcanic activity, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Plague and pestilence are making a return with antibiotic resistant drugs, just to name a few things. Gaiaism (earth worship) in the form of global warming/climate change legislation is upon us. The fools of this world err, not knowing the scriptures which tell us “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” (Romans 8:22). 

The Hope:

God’s people must continue to be lights in this fallen world. Let us proclaim the message of freedom and hope that is found in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All the things I have written here are already written in the scriptures. Keep in mind, however, that God gives grace to His people. Let us stand in the hope of the glory of God, for Christ is soon returning. We would do well to realize it is most likely, and almost certainly going to get rough before He does. Remember the words of our Savior- when you see these things beginning, look up, for your redemption draws near!

Let us keep in mind, however, our responsibility as believers in Christ, that we have an obligation to pray for our leaders. If Mr. Obama is elected President, I will pray for God to grant him wisdom to lead our country. I pray he will be turned to Christ in the real sense of faith and repentance of his sin, and be redeemed. I will also pray that this idol that is being sent to him will somehow be lost or destoyed. Let us also pray that through all these things, we can see the hand of God move in our country, and that He will be glorified. Keep your heads held high, fellow believers, for God is still in control!

Well, Tennessee’s most famous (infamous?) treehugger has once again proven that eco-activists are not only wrong, most of them are hypocrites as well. According to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, Al’s energy consumption rose 10%. And that is WITH the energy conservation renovations he made to his home. At Snopes.com, one can also consider the inconvenient truth of Al’s energy hungry and decidedly enviromentally UNfriendly home, vs the alledgedly oil-crazed George W. Bush:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST:

House # 1

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and
natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as “the Texas White House,” it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON’T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it’s truly “an inconvenient truth.”

Now, what should the average American think of these facts? Well, for starters, he should immediately recognize the environmental agenda for what it is: it is a means of enslaving and impoverishing the populace through guilt and misinformation. The environmental agenda is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for rising oil prices (because we cannot drill or build refineries), high food prices, and starvation in many areas of the world. It has crippled the freedom to dissent on global warming views, causing many scientists to become pariahs within their fields of study. It has created a sham industry of trading carbon credits, which actually allows companies to POLLUTE MORE if they buy credits from a company that has not polluted as much. One dare not blaspheme the name of Gaia, for her followers will see to it you are labeled as uncaring, unsymapthetic, and get this, even dangerous.

Don’t get me wrong. I do not litter, I am going to try to start a campaign to recycle aluminum cans at work, and I try to conserve whenever I can. However, I do it because it is common sense. The left’s version of doing the right thing ultimately leads to a point where the eco-elite have rule over the people, and place unfair and heavy burdens on them. Instead of each person doing the right thing because they want to, they are taxed into submission until they cannot afford to buy anything they can pollute with. Pretty nifty plan, huh? Oh, and get this, tax the evil corporations until they have to raise their prices, or go out of business. If they raise prices, tax them more so they pay for environmental evils their company has brought upon the earth. And then, when they shut down, the former employees will have to create fires (ooh, that is evil) to stay warm, because they have no other means and cannot afford anything else.

So much for leadership, Al. You are the finest example of the difference between leadership and eco-elitism, and quite frankly we could do much better without your hypocritical bully pulpiting.
