When I emceed the Colorado Right to Life March a few months back I stood on the state capitol steps and publically called on Governor Hickenlooper to shut down every abortuary in the state of Colorado and to enforce the inalienable right to life for all innocent human persons in accord with his sworn Constitutional Oath.

Of course my public plea fell on deaf ears. One would expect this from a pro-infanticide uber-liberal like Hickenlooper.

But self-professing pro-life governors like yourself should be different. And that is why I am writing to you Governor Perrry. You claim to be 100% pro-life wihtout exceptions and a supporter of Personhood legislation. You have stated publicly that life begins at conception and that nobody possesses the right to take that life since no individual state possesses the authority to alienate any inalienable right…chiefly the right to life–without which no other rights matter much.

Given these positions of yours, I call on you as chief law enforcement officer of the state of Texas to enforce the God given right to life for every pre-born baby in your state in strict accordance with your sworn constitutional oath (specifically the 14th amendment which guarantees that “no state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of the law; nor deny any person… the equal protection of the laws.”

Since pre-born babies are obviously human persons (which you have publicly acknowledged on numerous occasions and which is a scientific and biological fact that even an atheist can attest to), you possess a solemn obligation to enforce their God given right to their own lives.

I therefore call on you, Governor Rick Perry, to enforce the God given right to life for all human persons in the state of Texas by closing down every abortion clinic in the state of Texas and prosecuting any abortion “physician” who intentionally murders any pre-born baby at any stage of their physical and biological development for any reason for murder per the Federal Constitution, your state constitution and God’s enduring commandment, “Thou Shall Not Murder.”

Praying you will do the right thing by abiding by your sworn constitutional oath to re-crimminalize child murder by enforcing the God given right to life for all innocent human persons in the state of Texas. You don’t have to wait for a constitutional amendment or any legislative action or even for the Supreme Court to “overturn” Roe v Wade (which isn’t likely to happen in the forseeable future anyhow). The 14th Amendment is already on the books and it is your DUTY and OBLIGATION to enforce it.

“no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of the law; nor deny any person… the equal protection of the laws.”

Praying you do.

For the innocent,

Gregg Jackson

In today’s Washington Post Ralph Reed states:

“Look, if the Supreme Court does with marriage what it did on abortion, which is to impose the laws of New York and Massachusetts and impose them on the rest of the country by judicial fiat, it will make this issue more divisive and contentious, not less so,”

Reed makes the often-made mistake by conservatives of assigning powers to the Supreme Court that it doesn’t possess.

The Supreme Court didn’t “impose” any laws on any states since the judiciary possesses no law making powers. Individual sovereign states merely treated a toothless, unconstitutional, immoral court opinion as if it were actual law. In other words, individual sovereign states ceded law making power and authority to the court which the court DID NOT POSSESS in the first place. (As Romney did when he falsely asserted the court forced him to sign in $50 co-pay abortions and pass out marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Massachusetts).

This is what I believe Christian and conservative leaders should be proactively saying now in anticipation of the Court’s likely ruling that barring same-sex “marriage” is unconstitutional:

“If the Supreme Court rules that the exclusivity of male-female marriage to be unconstitutional they will have issued an anti-Constitutional, illegal, immoral and legally null and void administrative opinion (as Roe v Wade was) that each individual sovereign state has the Constitutional and moral obligation to ignore since any law or court opinion contrary to God’s Divinely Revealed Law is no law at all and since the judiciary possesses no law making authority. As President Lincoln once famously said, ‘..if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased, to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government, into the hands of that eminent tribunal.’ May that not be the case in our nation.”

When conservatives perpetuate toxic liberal lies by ceding their illogical, specious and faulty premises and pre-suppositions, (in this case that court opinions become the “law of the land” the moment they are issued) we always lose…

…And if civil government’s primary duty is to protect the God given right to life for all innocent human persons, then why is it that “we the people” continue to elect people to all levels and branches of government who perpetually fail to fulfill their primary moral and Constitutional obligation as God’s civil magistrates…to protect the God given right to life?

And why do so few Christian leaders, pastors and members of the media with large platforms fail to demand that they do so?

And are we as Christians any less to blame for the bloodshed (4,000 innocent tiny babies murdered today and every day in our country) when we continue to support, fund and cast our precious votes for those who refuse to fulfill their primary duty as God’s civil magistrate?

Isn’t it time that we demand that in return for our vote that any candidate running for any public office promise to fulfill his/her primary moral and Constitutional duty to protect, defend and enforce the God given right to life for all who are made in the image of God no matter their age, color, physical disability or stage of development?

Can a God bless any nation who permits the shedding of innocent blood?

I think not…

“We will have to repent in this generation…not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” ~MLK

“Those rights, then, which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal laws to be inviolable. On the contrary, no human legislation has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner himself commit some act that amounts to forfeiture.” William Blackstone

“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”
Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men…”

The Declaration of Independence

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Preamble, or Statement of Purpose, of the United States Constitution

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.” Thomas Jefferson

“You shall not murder.”

Exodus 20:13

“Our fathers, recognizing God as the author of human life, proclaimed it a ‘self evident truth’ that every human being holds from the Creator an inalienable right to live … If this right be denied, no other can be acknowledged. If there be exceptions to this central, this universal proposition, that all men, without respect to complexion or condition, hold from the Creator the right to live, who shall determine what portion of the community shall be slain? And who shall perpetrate the murders?”Joshua R. Giddings, 1858, in reference to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The Roe v Wade opinion, issued by a Republican majority during a Republican administration 40 years ago today, was a toothless, unconstitutional, illegal and anti-Christical decision on a fraudulent case (Jane “Roe” has since admitted she was never raped and is now a pro-life Christian).

Roe is not “the law of the land” as so many “Christian” leaders, media pundits, pro-family/pro-life and legal organizations sadly claim. And we must stop parroting this falsehood!

Courts don’t make law and every civil magistrate at every level and branch of government has a solemn moral and Constitutional OBLIGATION to ignore Roe and enforce the God given right to life for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death.

The primary purpose and obligation of civil government is to PROTECT INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE!

Any chief law enforcement officer (president or governor) who fails to enforce the inalienable right to life in accordance with the 5th and 14th amendments, and more significantly, with the “laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Thou Shalt Not Murder) is in egregious violation of their oath and should be impeached and removed from office!

Period!

But this will never occur if the Body of Christ remains silent.

Be bold Christian friend!

Demand that your elected officials enforce the God given right to life for all and stop making excuses for them.

For we must obey God rather than man…

Demand they do their job in fulfillment of their oath!

We get the government we deserve.

We get the government we tolerate.

May today be the day we stop tolerating a (GOP majority House of Representatives) government that consents to and even funds (with our tax dollars) infanticide!

May conservatives and Christians stop tolerating and supporting elected officials who don’t fulfill their primary duty to protect and defend the God given right to life for all innocent human persons!

I think 40 years and 55,000,000 murdered pre-born babies is enough?

Don’t you?

I just finished reading an amazing new book I would highly recommend called “The Religious Beliefs of America’s Founders: Reason, Revelation, and Revolution” by Gregg L. Frazer.

Contrary to popular opinion frequently promulgated by those on the Christian Right (such as David Barton and others in the “Christian America” camp) that the vast majority of America’s Founders were Evangelical Christians as well as those on the liberal Left who claim that they were mostly secularists and Deists, Mr. Frazer, utilizing extensive and thorough documentation from both public and private writings of 8 “Key Framers” (Adams,Jefferson, Franklin, Wilson, Morris, Madison, Hamilton and Washington), proves that they were neither Christians nor secularists/Deists but were actually a hybrid of the two which Mr. Frazer refers to as “Theistic Rationalists.”

Aside from Hamilton, who came to saving faith in Jesus at the end of his life, all of the 8 Key Framers rejected the Trinitarian view of God, the deity of Christ and the Resurrection. As Mr. Frazer demonstrates, based on the documented evidence, all 8 of the Key Framers would be what we call today “Universalists” as all of them believed that there were “many paths to God.” (As George W. Bush is on record saying as well.)

It was fascinating for me to see how their religious beliefs (essentially a mixture ofliberal Enlightenment thought, marginal Protestantism and Lockean political theory) influenced our Founding documents and our Republican form of government they had a significant hand in crafting and establishing. And I will be honest, it was also humbling to recognize that the key Framers were not Christians given the number of times I have publicly claimed they were based on what I thought to be trusted sources such as David Barton.

Here is the link to the book. Again, I highly recommend reading it and interviewing theauthor if you are in the media.

The most frequent question I have been asked in interviews discussing my new book co-authored with nationally syndicated radio host, Steve Deace, We Won’t Get Fooled Again: Where the Christian Right Went Wrong and How to Make America Right Again, is whether or not a Christian can support Mitt Romney if he becomes the GOP nominee.

As somebody who covered Mitt Romney on the radio in Boston when he was governor, I know too much about his pro-abortion,pro-homosexual “marriage,” pro-Big Government far left wing record to vote for him. But I would not condemn anybody else who chooses to given the fact that the current occupant in the White House is clearly hell bent on destroying any vestige of what currently is left of America.

Frequently, the questioner will respond that despite Romney’s liberal record that he won’t be as bad as Obama and that we need to support “anybody but Obama.”

While that may or may not be true, (I think a valid argument that a Romney presidency would actually be far worse for America)there are certain non-negotiables that, in my opinion, disqualify any candidate running for any public office but especially the presidency.

Here are 10 questions that I recommend posing to any candidate for whom you may be considering voting. As far as I am concerned, if they can’t answer these fundamental foundational questions concerning civil government and the rule-of-law correctly they are not qualified for any public office in any branch and at any level of government.

1. Do all of our rights come from God? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.”)

2. Is the primary purpose of civil government to protect inalienable rights? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.

3. Is the Supreme Court the final arbiter of what is/isn’t constitutional/legal? (If “yes” then candidate disqualified.)

4. Is Roe v. Wade the “law of the land?” (If “yes” then candidate disqualified.)

5. Do governors and presidents (and all other civil magistrates) have a constitutional obligation to ignore unconstitutional court opinions such as Roe, Kelo, Lawrence, Goodridge, California re:Marriage,Varnum, etc…? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.)

6. Is the inalienable right to life from conception to natural death the most fundamental right we as human beings possess? (If “no”then candidate disqualified.)

7. Does the president possess the Constitutional obligation, as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States of America, to enforce the inalienable right to life (as guaranteed in the 5th and14th Amendments) for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death when individual states fail to do so? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.)

8. Do state governors, possess the Constitutional obligation, as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of their individual sovereign state, to enforce the inalienable right to life (as guaranteed in the 5th and 14th Amendments) for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.)

7. Can any law contrary to God’s Natural Law ever be constitutional or legal? (If “yes” then candidate disqualified.)

8. Can “homosexual marriage” or child murder by abortion ever be legal even if “voter approved” since no law contrary to God’s Natural Law can ever be “legal?” (If “yes” then candidate disqualified.)

9. Can any bill that ends with the 6 words, “then you can kill the baby” such as the “ban” on partial birth abortion (which has never actually banned the procedure and never saved even 1 baby despite raising a quarter of a billion dollars for many of the leading “Christian” and “conservative”pro-life, pro family and legal organizations) ever be considered “pro-lifelegislation?” (If “yes” then candidate disqualified.)

10. Will you advance/support state/federal Personhood Human Life Amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw all abortions from the very moment of conception since Personhood (written into the GOP platform by Ronald Reagan) is the core plank of the GOP platform? (If “no” then candidate disqualified.)

Some may call me a “purist” for setting such unreasonably high standards and focusing too narrowly on “social issues.” But I don’t think it’s unreasonable or “puritanical” for “we the people” to merely expect that our elected public officials be able to articulate who the Supreme Law giver is, what civil government’s central purpose is, and the role and enumerated limitations of each of the 3 branches of government.

Pretty basic Civics 101 stuff.

No?

If conservative Christians want authentically pro-life,pro-family, pro-rule of law representatives, isn’t it up to “we the people” to hold them accountable to ensure they uphold their sworn Constitutional oaths? Isn’t that the main requirement for self-government?

At the end of the day, if we have immoral and compromised politicians in office, we must acknowledge that we bear a significant portion of the blame for placing them in power, knowing even before we pull the lever for them, that they have no intention of abiding by their oaths of office based on their own records and public statements.

Do we not?

The establishment elites who run the GOP over at the RNC and who are seemingly addicted to losing and who many suspect are merely a subsidiary branch of the DNC are apparently intent on nominating the Founding Father of sodomy-based “marriage” and the $50 co-pay tax payer funded abortion, the most uber-leftist governor in our nation’s history, Willard Mitchell Romney, come hell or high-water!

Santorum has stated that even though Romney would be the “worst Republican” to run against Obama that he would consider being the running mate of the man who single-handedly signed the death warrants of pre-born babies at $50 a pop as part of his “signature achievement” as governor of Massachusetts…Ted Kennedy-Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama-Planned Parenthood endorsed Romneycare the very model on which Obamacare was designed.

And recently we found out that Newt Gingrich has been meeting regularly in private with Romney the man who Gingrich has repeatedly claimed doesn’t tell the truth. Seriously?

And Ron Paul…well what more is there to say about Ron Paul? Guy’s pro-legalization of hard core drugs and prostitution, has “no problem” with “gay marriage,” denies the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, thinks it’s ok to murder pre-born children if an “honest rape” has occurred, believes states can alienate inalienable rights, supports open sodomites in the military, has no problem with Iran acquiring nukes it has announced it will use to “wipe Israel off the map” and likely the “Great Satan” (the United States) as well.

Isn’t it long past time for Christians and conservatives to break ranks with the pro-Romney Republican Party, RNC, Carl Rove, The Bushies, Dole, McCain, the GOP conservatarian cheerleaders over at Fox and the National Review and all the other fake conservatives like Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh who have either endorsed or white-washed Romney’s far left wing record for the past half decade?

It is for me.

Time’s a tickin…

The proverbial hand-writing is on the wall.

The liberal elites who run the GOP have been on jihad since Reagan left office to purge the party of Lincoln and Reagan of those who don’t believe the Bible and Constitution are living breathing documents. (To paraphrase my good friend and co-author of our new book “We Won’t Get Fooled Again: Where the Christian Right Went Wrong and How to Make America Right Again,” Steve Deace)

I believe that Christians and conservatives who are no longer chugging the GOP kool-aid who realize that the Republicans and Democrats are merely two wings of the same bird both leading us in the same direction (away from God and His transcendent moral law) need to tell the GOP we ain’t buyin what you’re sellin.

Been on that train before (Ford, both Bushes, Dole, McCain and now Romney) and we want off.

Not taking part in the rigged 2 party sham anymore.

I can no longer support candidates for any elected office who won’t abide by their oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution regardless of whether they have an “R” or “D” after their name.

Imagine what could happen if 20 or 30 million Christians and conservatives decided to do the same instead of compromising their core values and beliefs and supporting the “lesser of two evils?”

With man this is impossible. With God all things are possible.

1. All office holders at every level and every branch of government swear an oath to God to uphold the Supreme Law of the Land, The United States Constitution?

2. Laws such as Obamcare/Romneycare or court opinions such as Roe v Wade/Goodridge which are contrary to the Constitution and the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” are legally null and void and should be ignored by all office holders at every level and every branch of government?

3. All office holders at every level and every branch of government have the Constitutional duty to ignore unconstitutional and illegal laws such as Obamacare/Romneycare and court opinions such as Roe/Goodridge? (Goodridge was the 2004 court opinion Romney falsely claimed forced him to alter and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Massachusetts.)

4. Any office holders at any level and any branch of government who treat unconstitutional laws and court opinions as constitutional and legally binding are in direct violation of their oath of office and should be impeached/removed from office?

If you (correctly) answered “true” to all 4 questions then you have just disqualified the current occupant of the White House Barack Obama (a.k.a Barry Soetoro) and current GOP “front runner” (Willard Mitchel Romney) from holding any public office at any level and any branch of government.

The same could be said of virtually every state governor and every state/federal level legislator in our nation.

Last week, CNN’s Piers Morgan questioned GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum regarding his position on contraception.

Santorum stated that he believes in the Catholic Church’s teachings on contraception (they oppose it) but that as Senator he voted for national and international funding for contraception and that as president he would do the same. This faulty line of reasoning (“I won’t impose my personally held relgious and moral beliefs on others”) is almost exactly the same as John Kerry’s 2004 statement that he wouldn’t allow his personal opposition to “abortion rights” influence his public policy (which was to support unfettered child murder).

Since all laws are based on morals, the only question is what those underlying morals will be.

Santorum believes that all abortion in all cases is murder and recently signed the USA Personhood pledge which would protect the inalienable right to life for all human persons by defining the word “person” in the 14th Amendment to apply to all human persons from the very moment they are conceived (at fertilization). So evidently he does believe that he can (and should) apply his personal moral convictions and beliefs about the sanctity of human life to public policy. And as a Christian he is 100% correct in doing so since any law contrary to God’s Divnely Revealed Law is “no law at all.”

Instead of ceding the moral premise of his argument by stating, in essence, that he would enforce immoral laws to which he is opposed, Santorum should have merely said to Piers that he believes that all contraception is morally wrong (coinciding with Catholic Church teachings) and especially “contraception” that kills nascent human beings (i.e., abortafascients such as RU-486 and other “emergency contraception.”) and that funding of any contraception is unconstitutional. Plain and simple. And that as president he would merely abide by his constitutionally sworn oath and veto all legislation and ignore any judicial opinions not in accord with the United States Constitution and more importantly, the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.”

Memo to Rick: You are now officially in the proverbial “Big Leagues.”

Not time to go wobbly to borrow a phrase from Lady Thatcher.

Not time to equivocate.

If the Bible and the U.S. Constitution (in that order) are truly your plumb-line for any of your positions and actions you will take as president, it’s time to stand up and say so without pause or regret.

Stick to your guns, especially on the most important moral/social issues of our times.

Choose this day whom you will serve!

“Peter and the apostles said, ‘We must obey God rather than man.’”

Recently the most overturned court of appeals, the 9th Circuit, issued an opinion that California Proposition 8 which is a Constitutional Amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman , to be “unconstitutional” and ordered same-sex “marriages” (which began illegally under Schwarzenegger) resume.

When homosexual activist San Francisco U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker (George H.W. Bush appointee) issued an opinion that Prop 8 was discriminatory and unconstitutional, I pointed out in August of 2010 that the opinion should be ignored and that Judge Walker should be removed from office in accordance with the California Constitution.

Shortly thereafter, when illegally altered marriage licenses once again began being issued in California to same-sex couples in direct violation of the California Constitution, I pointed out that conservative lawyers, leaders and media pundits were tragicly ceding the lie that courts possess the authority to make law by not holding the governor at the time (Arnold Schwarzenegger) accountable for treating an illegal court opinion as de facto law and demanding Schwarzenegger ignore the toothless and unconstitutional opinion.

As I wrote in August of 2010:

As I have written numerous times on this site, judges can’t make law!

Prop 8 which amended the California Constitution limiting marriage to one man-one woman can’t, according to the Supreme Law of California, the California Constitution, be “overturned,” “struck down” or “repealed” but by another constitutional amendment passed by the sovereign people of the state of California.

Furthermore, marriage licences can’t be altered in any way or issued to same sex couples without a binding, enabling, accompanying statute.

This latest attempt by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to “overturn” a constitutional amendment must by law be ignored and the judges who issued the opinion should be removed from office.

The court’s opinion that male-female “marriage” is “unconstitutional” is absurd because it is contrary to God’s Law (God Almighty Himself has defined marriage to be between one man and one woman) which is the very basis of the Supreme Law of the Land of our nation, the U.S. Constitution! And any law (or court opinion) contrary to God’s Law is legally null and void. Plain and simple. No individual branch of government at any level of government possesses the authority to make right what God says is wrong. To quote Dr. Martin Luther King who quoted St. Thomas Aquinas: Any law contrary to God’s Law is no law at all!

If Governor Jerry Brown (who refused to defend Prop 8 in court as was his constitutional and legal obligation) authorizes the issuance of illegally altered marriage licences to same-sex couples in California, he should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

Furthermore, every presidential candidate who claims to support the rule-of-law, should be publicly condemning the court’s illegal and anti-Constitutional opinion and explaining how as president, in an effort to rein in the out of control judiciary, they would ignore all unconstitutional court opinions and call for the removal of any judges who issue them.

They should also point out the fact that much of this utter lawlessness began under Willard Mitchell Romney when as governor he unilaterally, illegally and unconstitutionally implemented same-sex “marriage” in Massachusetts falsely claiming the court ordered him to do so.

Might be nice if our leading Christian pro-family leaders and conservative media pundits did the same.

Isn’t half a decade of silence enough?
