THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them -- the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
Psalm 146:3-6

THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH

WHEN THEY CAME FOR THE DRUGGIES,
MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T DRUGGIES.
WHEN THEY CAME FOR THE BRANCH DAVIDIANS,
MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T BRANCH DAVIDIANS.
WHEN THEY CAME FOR THE TERROR SUSPECTS,
MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T TERROR SUSPECTS.

WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING?

THIS IS WHY, IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FREEDOM,
YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP AND SPEAK UP NOW!

***

WHEN YOU LET PEOPLE DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, YOU GET WOODSTOCK.
WHEN YOU LET GOVERNMENTS DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, YOU GET AUSCHWITZ.

***

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT CAN DO FOR YOU.
ASK WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT CAN DO TO YOU.

"...always you are consistent and consider the boneheaded implications of feel good herd mentality quick fix solutions."
-- JK in Longmont, Colorado

"Thank you for making people think even after they've spoken ... Your wisdom is certainly appreciated by those who are able to articulate it,
but I think that same wisdom reaches far more people than you might imagine because it is non-inflammatory ...
and it is always 'just' in its reasoning."
-- PM in Tucson, Arizona

"Have you thought about writing a book or some articles to address the Body of Christ about our political involvements?
You have a real gifting to see things differently and I think you are on to some real truth here. Like all of us with something to say,
I pray that God use you as a clean vessel relying fully on Him and free to speak truth in love."
-- BL in Maryland

"You'll burn in Hell!!! Sorry, Doug, but your eternal fate has been decided; Rush Limbaugh has spoken."

"You are one of the best writers I've read. For real! I wish every Christian church in America would syndicate your articles.
(Want a publicist?)"
-- ES in Florida

"One thing I like about your thoughts and writing style is that it isn't rocket science or anything anyone with an inkling
of common sense cannot understand. You put an issue out there in plain words and all it takes
is just a little common sense to understand exactly what you are saying..."
-- RD

"Doug is one of the best 'communicators' of social and political ideology that I have been exposed to over the years."

"I just HAD to take a break from perusing the contents to tell you that I now have a vision in my mind
of six-year-old Doug parading around the house, declaring 'I’M THE RULER OF THE WO-O-O-O-O-ORLD!'
Do you have video?"
-- NT in Highlands Ranch, Colorado

"Keep writing. I pray that those that read your words will have their blinders removed."

"Doug; I am not a believer, but I find your non-vain, non-righteous, non-aggressive approach a welcome relief compared to others I read."

"You write the best letters ever and I mean it ... You should write to every newspaper in the country."
-- MN in Golden, Colorado

"Thanks for your email and website. I am appalled but not necessarily surprised at the evangelical right...just take a gander at what the cemeteries (seminaries) are producing to "shepherd" churches. I've always believed that our country's problems will not be solved politically, but spiritually. By that, I mean accurate spiritual knowledge/application. If one has the right spiritual knowledge, then one will be able to vote and be aware or active politically in the best sense and be able to determine what is "the lie". But since the cemeteries have done their dastardly best in corrupting the church leaders, the sheep follow."
-- AL in Littleton, Colorado

"After watching Tucker (Carlson) last night it dawned on me what has been obvious all along - nobody in the media understands the Ron Paul movement at all - not even Tucker whom I would have thought would know better. In Tucker's mind the only people who could possibly support Ron Paul are the relative handful of people in this country like him who "really understand" what Ron Paul is about, leftists who hate the war and tin foil hat wearing, ex-hippie conspiracy theorists. Well yes, we are all of those things, but we are also doctors and lawyers and soldiers and scientists.

"And we are civil libertarians and conservatives and liberals and democrats and republicans and libertarians and constitutionalists. We are shelf stockers at Walmart and high powered executives and self-employed small business owners and internet gurus. We are policemen and firemen and ditch diggers and even people on public assistance. We are black and white and asian and hispanic and some mixture of all of these things. We are people whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower and whose ancestors met those people when they arrived. We are people who became Americans six months ago.

"We are young, pot-smoking college freshmen and guys who fought in Vietnam. We are people of virtually every possible stripe and persuasion who all have one single thing in common -- we love this country and want to see the promise of what America was intended to be fulfilled, so that we can leave our children the American we grew up believing in -- free and prosperous nation with justice and opportunity for all where any person who wants it and is willing to put in the effort has a reasonable chance of being whatever he or she wants to be and can make a better life for their children than they had. We want an America which is the land of liberty and where the idea of the pursuit of happiness means something.

"A place where courage and gumption and effort and creativity count for something -- where the deck is not pre-stacked so that those on top can not lose no matter what they do and those on the bottom have little hope of winning no matter how hard they try. And where our leaders are people we can be proud of and who represent the best of what America is and not America at its basest and most venal. As for myself, I am proud to be associated with all of these types of Ron Paul supporters -- even the wackiest among us. I happily welcome all the tin foil hat wearers and the hippies as well as the veterans and the old right conservatives and even the lefty liberals. When I start hearing stuff about needing to keep the movement "pure" then I know I'm talking to somebody who doesn't understand the movement at all." -- BillyDKidd

We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future.

The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism.
-- U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Davis, Ex Parte Milligan (1866)

We simply cannot keep the country in readiness to fight an all-out war unless we are willing to turn our country into a garrison state and abandon all [its] ideals of freedom...
-- The Late Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio)

"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying.
It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober."
-- G.K. Chesterton

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.
-- Theodore Roosevelt

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.
-- Anonymous (An internet hoax attributes this to Julius Caesar.)

Americans need to understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism. A patriot loves his land and his people. A nationalist loves his government. The patriot voluntarily does what is necessary to protect his land and his people. A nationalist blindly obeys his government.
-- Charley Reese

I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; – but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest – I will not equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.
-- William Lloyd Garrison

For a variety of reasons, I do not buy the official story on 9/11. This conclusion was not a result of some "brain snap", but of somewhat extensive research over a period of years. While I do not know exactly what happened on that horrible day, I know what did not happen.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, there are lies, damned lies and 9/11 lies. The most comprehensive 9/11 information resources I can recommend are the Loose Change documentaries . These impeccably documented films debunk every claim of the official story.
Please view them with an open mind.

The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

He lifted a finger.

Here's an idea: if we take guns out of schools, nothing bad will happen.

And if we take guns out of shopping malls, nothing bad will happen. (See #10.)

And if we take guns off of college campuses, nothing bad will happen.

And if we only allow the military and the police to have guns, nothing bad will happen.
