This is just not right! What’s next? Send a note to the Chief. Let him know we will not put are heads in the sand and let them roll over us!

I sent a letter to the Chief this morning and she should too. Just drop everything and sent a quick note. Texans you must rise up against this latest test to see how much crap you will take… just like the gun confiscation in New orleans following Katrina. Don’t let this slide!

There’s one other thing I forgot to mention. I’m pretty sure there isn’t anything in the Bible which says that Jesus is going to protect you from tyrants and killers during this lifetime. Just about everything he said was directing us to look forward, to the time of the new Heaven and new Earth. That’s where our hearts should lie, not with this present world. So in response to the two of you who mistakenly thought I said the Bible would protect you; my answer is that it will not protect you in the “here and now”. Jesus gives his children eternal life, so your soul will never be in jeopardy no matter what happens to your body. But Christians have been peacefully going to their deaths ever since the days of the Romans. You see, it all depends on what you love the most. If you love this world then you will fight and kill and destroy anybody who threatens it. But if you love God, and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and all that they promise for the future, then you’ll do what they command, even if it means letting someone roll over you with a tank.

It’s really very simple. Jesus told his followers that he doesn’t want them living for this present world. He called this world “a dark and dying place”. He said that it is one day going to pass away, but that the Kingdom of God is eternal. THAT’S the world he wants us to live for. God will punish all the tyrants on judgment day, and put an end to all evil when he creates the new Heaven and new Earth. So instead of trying to do God’s job for him you should be asking yourself whether your own actions are going to being praised or punished on that day. Fighting against evil is not the same thing as doing good. You can only be doing good when you are doing the will of God. And nowhere will you find a passage in the Bible telling Christians that God wants them to take up arms and oppose tyrants. Fighting against evil is just more fighting. Tell me, do you think the Devil cares whether we fight in the name of good, or fight in the name of evil? I doubt it. I’m sure he’s happy just to know we’re all fighting each other. Trust Jesus when he says that he is the only one who can take you out of this mess.

“You are either with the Tyrants or against them.”
G.W. Bush (okay, I changed ‘terrorist’ to ‘tyrants’ – same thing)

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke.

Don’t take this crap lying down.

Lauren, you don’t have to give them ANYTHING. That is the point we are trying to make. Check out the forum link below.

They can take you to jail, but they CANNOT force you to convict YOURSELF with either a breath or blood test.

I am a medical technologist and do drug testing on a daily basis. I have never trusted the breathalyzer. It is never consistant. If I were ever pulled over, I would DEMAND to have a blood alcohol test.
