I got an e-mail from DailyKos telling me that I should write a passionate yet respectful blog. This may be a long one.
I am passionate but it is hard to be respectful when you see a fruitless man perverting scripture and blaspheming my God. So, I will take the winner’s speech after his win, with my own commentary in bold. I will edit out the boring stuff when he is not mocking my God.
Let me first of all say, to God be the glory. Read the Bible Ted. I do agree to giving God the glory. But your win is not God’s work. Jesus is probably on the right hand of His father with both looking at each other with hands up “don’t look at me"
Tonight is a victory for the grassroots. Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across Iowa, and all across this great nation. Tonight the state of Iowa has spoken. That is true but not all of Iowa just Iowan conservatives who make New Hampshire Republican's look like Madison Liberals. Iowa has sent notice that the Republican nominee for the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media. Except for Fox.Will not be chosen by the Washington establishment. Will not be chosen by the lobbyists. Don’t ask me how much they bribe… I mean donated to my campaign But will be chosen by the most incredible powerful force, where all sovereignty resides in our nation by we the people. The American people. I pray not Tonight, thanks to the incredible hard work of everyone gathered here, of courageous conservatives across the state. There is nothing courageous about playing to our basest feelings of fear and hate.
To put in perspective, your incredible victory that you have won tonight. That is the most votes ever cast for any Republican primary winner. That is true and in the last 30 years only 2 Iowa winners went on to win the nomination. George H W Bush in 1988 and Bob Dole in 1996. One I consider one of the best presidents of the last 50 years, the other the one I first voted for.
Tonight is a victory for millions of Americans, who have shouldered the burden of seven years of Washington deals run amok. What deals? You made sure that nothing would get done.Tonight is a victory for every American who's watched in display as career politicians in Washington in both parties refuse to listen and too often fail to keep their commitments to the people. I dislike career politicians as well but at least they can keep the country from shutting down.Tonight is a victory for every American who understands that after we survive eight long years of the Obama presidency, that no one personality can right the wrongs done by Washington. No one personality can right the wrongs that you have done. The millions who understand that it is a commitment to the constitution to our shared insistence that we rise and return to a higher standard, the very standard that gave birth to the greatest nation that the world has ever known. To the revolutionary understanding that all men and all women are created equal. That our rights do not come from the democratic party or the Republican party or even from the tea party. Our rights come from our creator. I don't understand this. Democrats believe that all men and women at created equal. The only people who don't believe this keep their wives at home dong nothing but having babies and cooking for their man.
And the federal government's role, the federal government's responsibility is to defend those fundamental rights, to defend us. Yeah And while Americans will continue to suffer under a president who has set an agenda who is causing millions to hurt across this country what about the millions that were helped. Could you please show me a list of people that were hurt by Obama’s policies and a list of people who were hurt? I want to remind you of the promise of scripture. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Iowa has proclaimed to the world, morning is coming. This is from psalm 30:5. Well I can match you scripture for scripture. Well here is Proverbs 30 7
7 Two things I ask of you;
do not deny them to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that I need,
9 or I shall be full, and deny you,
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ You deny him by your actions. It would be better for you if you did forget and deny Him by words instead of deeds or I shall be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God
Morning is coming. From day one this campaign has been a movement. For millions of Americans to organize, to rally, to come together. Whatever Washington says, they cannot keep the people down, and tonight is a testament to the people's commitments to their yearnings to get back to our core commitments, free market principles. By that I mean the principals of Ayn Rand. Survival of the fittest. Social Darwinism, scratch the last one, I don't believe in evolution
The judeo-christian values that built this great nation. These values?
Zacheria 7:9 “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Or how bout this
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
You have never administered justice, I have never seen you show compassion and you call widows and orphans moochers and takers.
To the contrary, we are inspired by each and every one of you. I leap out of bed every morning amazed that at a time when our country is in crisis, every one of us has the opportunity to stand and lead, that we have been put in a place of leadership. For such a time as this. If you call what you do leading, I am ok with the crisis
I'm inspired by the stories of heroism that I see every day, working men, like Jerry Dunleavy from Columbus, Ohio. Who requested an entire month off his job to come to Iowa to live at camp Cruz and to volunteer full time. When his employer refused to give him time off, Jerry quit his job and came anyway. I love the great state of Iowa. What about those who lost their jobs not because they wanted to join you but for other reasons and is looking for a job but finds it hard to feed his family when you cut food assistance.
I'm inspired by people like Elliott gazer and Josh hammer, students at the university of Chicago who spent their winter break at camp Cruz. But they came back this weekend and hit the phones and they hit the pavement, campaigning to students across this country, upon graduation, rather than having mountains of debt will instead have 2, 3, 4, 5 high-paying job offers and a chance at the American dream. I'm inspired by people like Alexandra, a 13-year-old girl from Lubbock, Texas, who, yesterday, at our campaign headquarters made 823 volunteer calls. What about those saddled with college debt? What about the sick 13 year old whose father got a new job and his insurance policy doesn't cover pre-existing conditions?
That has always been the strength of this campaign. Are the men and women gathered here and courageous conservatives lifting this country up in prayer each and every day. You should put your hands in prayer, but read the Bible first. Go to Biblegateway.com search either rich, poor, or justice. Then get on your knees and pray for forgiveness
And to our national co-chairmen, Bob Vander Plaats and Steve King whose political policies scare me more than Pennywise or Cujo these men have become dear and trusted friends. They are warriors. They are men of principle. They stand and speak the truth. Steve King doesn't like it when other people speak truth he was on of 94 to vote against whistleblower protection votesmart.org/...Like the value to have the right to pollute HR 3189, he was one of 41 votes againstvotesmart.org/... that would send needed funds to help fight AIDS and TB in third world nations, he voted against helping poor children from getting insurance votesmart.org/... but he did vote for HR 2019 that helps research children!s health votesmart.org/...They stand to defend their values and let me tell you, these leaders, day after day, week after week, have been crawling under broken glass with knives between their teeth. I'm grateful for the support the early support of my friends.
We're grateful for the over 150 pastors across the state of Iowa who joined our team to energize people of faith. I am very proud to say that when you talk about the blind leading the blind, I am the most blind. With more support we will lead all of America into the pit.
I need to make this a two parter. I am beginning to get sick to my stomach. I will continue this later this week
God Bless
