I just saw something that I couldn't believe. The Democracks have the nerve to say that they will hold up all nominations, because President Bush appointed some nominees during a congressional recess.
Let me be very clear about this. It is the Democrats that are abusing their power, and denying the appointments on the sole grounds that the appointees do not hold to the twisted theology of liberalism.
This cannot be allowed to happen. The liberals have hijacked the nomination process, lied, and broken trust with the American people. The American people must rise up and let the twisted liberals know that they cannot any longer abuse their powers to hold up appointees.
NO MORE LIBERAL TRASHING OF THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!

I have been reflecting on the reasons that I felt it necessary to start a Blog called Rants from the Radical Right. One of the things that come to mind is that I have finally discovered what is the real enemy of Freedom.
I have heard numerous ideas about what is the “true” enemy of freedom. Some would say that the greatest enemy to freedom is communism. Others might say it is the unbridled flow of illegal immigrants. Many (but not enough) are talking about the “Law of the Sea Treaty” a horrible monster that threatens the very sovereignty of The United States of America. And we won’t even go into the whacko liberal view that George W. Bush is the greatest threat to world freedom.
No, I think I know what the true enemy of freedom is. The TRUE ENEMY of freedom is…. complacency. That’s right, complacency.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines complacence as satisfaction, or self-satisfaction. And doesn’t that aptly describe most Americans? So spoiled, so “self-satisfied” that little things like "sovereignty" and "freedom" hardly get a rise. If you tell the normal, SUV wrangling soccer mom that Law of the Sea Treaty threatens the sovereignty of our great nation, you’ll maybe get a reaction as drastic as a “huh”? Talk to the working stiff dad, and he’ll nod, and lean a little to the right to look around you and see the TV. “Uh huh, that’s nice.”
We have become, as a people, as a nation, very complacent. We take our freedoms for granted. We have begun to forget that our rights, our inalienable rights spelled out in our constitution, come from Almighty God, and are not just a concession from Uncle Sam. And we have forgotten that the wealth, the incredible blessings that we enjoy today, are blessings from God, and not due to the miserably failed social programs of a bloated and wasteful federal government.
As we, as a nation, as a people, draw away from God, and the very social fabric that our society is founded on is ripped apart by activist judges and blatant lawbreaking maneuvers, those blessings are bleeding slowly away. How long, how long will God put up with a people that use His Name freely, and yet practice hidden and even blatantly outright public sin? How long will God continue to be merciful to us? Only God knows that answer.
But I have determined to do what I can, to put off my complacency, to make an effort, and let my voice be heard. I have decided to RANT- to scold violently- to call our nation to repentance, to try to shake the complacent and wake the sleeping before it is too late, before the greatest experiment of freedom in all of known history, is only a history lesson, like ancient Rome that imploded through its own decadence.
Where does the responsibility of the spiritual state of America rest? Is the problem the homosexuals clamoring for marriage? Is the problem with plastic, aging, has-been stars flashing flabby silicone filled breasts on prime time TV? Is the problem with lying politicians?
No, the responsibility for the spiritual state of America falls directly on the Church. Not the church as in a collection of buildings, but us, The Church, the people of God. Those of us that are called by His Name have harbored secret, hidden sin, we have turned our hearts from doing the things that please God, and we have worshipped idols. Our hearts have become hardened as we have become complacent.
Lord Jesus, have mercy on us. Call Your people to repentance. Send Your Spirit through Your Church, make that which has been dead alive again. Come Lord, that Your Name may be glorified.

I guess I tend to give more credit to Europeans than I should. I really thought that the Spanish were smart, and had some backbone. But in the face of one of the worst terrorist attacks since 9/11, do the Spanish people stand up and demand that the terrorist pay? No. Do they renew their commitment to fighting against terrorists? No. Do they grow in their resolve to see the horrors of terrorist hatred wiped from the earth? No. What do they do? They blame their Prime Minister for getting them into the war in Iraq, and blame their own Prime Minister for getting people killed.
This just really ticks me off. This causes me to rant.
Let me take this down here, to where even a liberal can understand it. Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar did not cause the terrorist attacks in Spain. President Bush did not cause the terrorist attacks.
Terrorists caused the terrorist attacks in Spain. Are you liberals still with me, or should I repeat myself? Terrorists caused the terrorist attacks in Spain.
By allowing these despicable extremist Muslim terrorists to change the course of an election, and buckling under pressure to extremist groups, Spain is setting a dangerous precedent. Europeans must either follow what is right because it is the right thing to do, follow principles even when it hurts, or all of Europe should be prepared for more attacks, especially right before big elections.
